Chapter 174: Butterfly's Wings
PS: Xiao Hai is dizzy, and the monthly tickets at night are too happy.
As a result, I didn't do anything, just busy refining there, smirking at the screen.
Well, I hope I can be so happy every day. Redouble your efforts these days, and send it at any time, thank you.
Xu Hao was at ease all day, because no one paid attention to him, and even several aunts and aunts died down, not mentioning the word family affairs. After all, whoever faces the behemoth of Mu Wangfu, it is inevitable to be interested.
Affected by the snow, Xu Hao also looked down on a pair of lilies at home, anyway, the meat was put in the pot, so don't be taken by the dog.
Jiang Song's matter was inquired about by the little guys, and it turned out to be the youngest daughter of the Cui Township family in a nearby village, who was 17 years old. Because he heard that Jiang Song had made some money as a gentleman and was a tyrant in Xiaojia Village, he had the intention of clinging.
The so-called township covenant is to guarantee people, with Jiang Song's support, you can use his wealth as a guarantee, and when it is profitable, you will immediately turn your face and deceive people to profit from it.
The Cui family's famous ploppy family has a reputation as bad as the Jiang family. Xu Hao saw that it was Wang Ba who looked at the mung beans and was speechless.
Xu Hao has always thought carefully about doing things, since he has inquired, let's inquire to the end, he must know what kind of person the daughter of the Cui family is, if the girl is unwilling, simply find someone to pretend to rob the relatives, and send them to other places after the robbery, and then come back after they get married and have children.
Unexpectedly, the daughter of the Cui family insisted on marrying a bad old man, and now Xu Hao became interested, and secretly said that Jiang Song's life was probably not long in coming.
Here, Jiang Song sold the pills and secret recipes to Xu Ji at a high price, got three hundred taels of treasure money, and immediately hid the money. He was too stingy, and he was reluctant to spend a penny when he got married, and went door to door to find his former disciples, blocking the door and scolding, begging for thank-you gifts and happy money.
Especially the two families who had just passed the Xiucai exam last year, squatted at the door and scolded: "Single slave! Have three generations of your ancestors ever had a scholar? Did you ever pass a show in the early eight generations? If it weren't for my mouth-to-mouth teaching. used the strength to eat milk, so that it became a vessel, and now he doesn't even give a thank-you gift, an ungrateful stinky king. ”
Jiang Song chattered and scolded endlessly, relying on his identity as a talent, no one in the village dared to touch him. The two families had no choice but to prepare eight gifts and five taels of silver according to the rules of Master Xie, who knew that Jiang Song accepted the gift, and threw the post on the ground, which was too little.
When I was tired of scolding, I went back to rest, and the next day I blocked the door and scolded. The two families couldn't make a fuss, so they endured the pain and gave twenty taels of treasure bills with both hands, and Jiang Song got a total of more than eighty taels of silver and a number of gifts, and returned satisfied.
Xu Hao, who was watching from the wall, immediately extinguished his plan to save his life, you must know that ordinary people have Xiucai, although there are congratulatory gifts from relatives and friends, but they have to invite guests to dinner, give thank you gifts to officials and gentlemen, and give money to all parties. There was not much silver left, and Jiang Song begged for nearly thirty taels of silver, and nine times out of ten, he had to put his savings upside down.
Xu Hao thought for a while and prepared a piece of yarn and a carrot. A pair of cloud shoes, a pair of white socks, two handkerchiefs, two Sichuan fans, and ten taels of treasure bills were carried to Jiang's house.
Jiang Song was very happy to see that Xu Hao had come to see off his apprenticeship. Pulling Xu Hao to sit in the courtyard, Chun'er twisted her waist and came over to offer tea.
Xu Hao sat down for a while and got up to say goodbye, and Jiang Song pretended to leave someone for dinner. Xu Hao politely declined and left.
Chun'er complained, "Why don't you stay for a meal?" It's rare to get a rich boy. ”
Jiang Song ignored Chun'er, frowned and said, "What is he doing here?" I didn't offend him. ”
Chun'er blinked her big watery eyes and said with a smile: "It won't be for the slave family, right?" Anyway, you're going to marry a wife, so why don't you give me to the young master of the Xu family. ”
"Dream on you, and don't look in the mirror." Jiang Song finished speaking angrily, turned around and went, and the angry Chun'er gritted her teeth.
said that in the Xu family, Xu Ji was begging the Wang family to come forward to propose marriage to the Xiao family and marry Xiao Yuying as a concubine, and kept saying that he had agreed.
The Wang family was not happy, not to mention that they had unwritten rules, and concubines were allowed but not allowed to marry the daughters of outsiders. What's more, Xiao Yuying is too beautiful, and her daughter-in-law is her niece, which will undoubtedly chill her niece's heart, how can she turn her arms out? Besides, Xiao Yuying is restless, what should she do if she gets married and seduces her husband or eldest son everywhere? What virtues are husbands and sons, Wang knows too well.
There is also the third child who is not a vegetarian, and he may not be able to revisit the old one day, and it is estimated that eighty percent of them are sluts who have been abandoned by the third child.
Therefore, Wang frowned and said, "You just got married and accepted four girls, you should be content." Now you have to settle down and study hard, and when you are in the middle of the next year, my mother will buy you a few immortals to come back. ”
"I don't want it, I want Xiao Yuying." Xu Ji was unmoved.
Wang said angrily: "What you say about this house or what the old lady says?" If I say no, I can't. ”
As a result, Xu Ji touched his nose, and went out to the study of the North Courtyard to find Xu Wen, put Daxi away, and whispered: "Don't you like the cousin of the Xiao family?" At the right time, the Xiao family is ready to marry her off. ”
I don't want Xu Wen's illness to be well, and there are wives and big joys eyeing him, how dare he make a mistake at this time? Shaking his head vigorously.
Xu Ji was still unwilling, so he simply ran to the bamboo garden to find Xu Hao, but as soon as he walked into the courtyard gate, he was blocked by two mothers-in-law, and he was not allowed to enter.
Xu Jiqi scolded: "Get out of the way, I'm your young master, and I'm blind?" ”
The mother-in-law was unmoved and said, "Only women are allowed to come in this courtyard, but not men." Second Young Master, you wait first, Brother Hao will come out immediately. ”
"How can it be?"
Xu Ji had no choice but to stand in place and wait, from time to time he saw the maids coming in and out, but fortunately, he remembered Xiao Yuying's beauty and had learned a painful lesson here, although he was envious in his heart, he didn't dare to have any attempts.
After a long time, Xu Hao came out and asked, "What is the second brother looking for me?" ”
"Come on."
At that moment, Xu Ji pulled Xu Hao to the bamboo forest outside and said, "You just watched the cousin of the Xiao family marry someone else?" ”
Xu Hao said suspiciously: "How is it?" ”
Xu Ji hated that iron could not become steel and said: "This kind of stunner is rare, how can you let it go in vain?" In this way, I will pay for you to find an honest man to marry her home, and raise people and gods outside without knowing it, and you and my brother can go over and take turns to enjoy it at any time. ”
Xu Hao frowned and looked at Xu Ji and said, "Second brother, what's wrong with you lately?" I only know how to worry about women all day long, what do you look like now? People are not ghosts, they are not ghosts. ”
Xu Ji was immediately furious. Shaking the folding fan and tilting his head, he said: "The scholar is romantic, what is wrong with my liking of beauty?" Who isn't? Who doesn't have a group of wives and concubines? Like you, when you are young, you don't like women like a monk. ”
Xu Hao sighed, the so-called words were not speculative for more than half a sentence, and said a word that he couldn't help but turn around and leave.
Xu Ji sneered at his younger brother's back: "If you don't help me, I won't find someone else to go?" Don't regret it in the future. After saying that, he threw up his sleeves and walked away.
In the Wei Mansion, Xu Hao stood calmly in front of his uncle Xu Huizu, and next to him sat the fourth uncle Xu Zengshou.
Xu Huizu sat behind the desk and said coldly, "What are you doing?" Could it be that he came with poisoned wine? ”
Xu Hao said: "The Holy Lord ordered me to ask my second grandfather for advice on the art of war. ”
Xu Huizu sneered: "Since it is the meaning of the saint, then you can go in." Do you want me to send you personally? ”
At this time, Xu Zengshou stood up and said with a smile: "Big brother, why bother Hao'er, go, I'll send you over." ”
Xu Huizu still sneered: "You two are the same, you are both eating things inside and outside, hurry up and leave." ”
"Big brother, look at you, come on, let's go."
Xu Zengshou led Xu Hao out, and said as he walked: "Your uncle is that temper, don't take it to heart." In the future, if you have something, you will come to the fourth uncle. ”
Xu Hao nodded and said, "Fourth uncle, what should you do about this?" Shall I go in to see my second grandfather? ”
Xu Zengshou shook his head and said, "Recently, the old man fell ill again, wait for next time." By the way, now that you have lost your official position, what are your plans for the future? ”
Xu Hao smiled bitterly: "What else can I plan?" It's a day to live. ”
"That's not going to work." Xu Zengshou said patiently: "You are bent on marrying the daughter of the Mu family." How can there be no official position? In this way, you wait patiently at home for a while, and the fourth uncle will help you think of a way, and you are used to being a guard. I think it's better to continue to be a brocade guard. ”
Xu Hao sighed faintly in his heart and said, "How is it possible? The Holy One will not agree. ”
Xu Zengshou said confidently: "Just a brocade guard, what does the saint disagree with?" You just wait patiently for the good news. But you have to pay attention, you can't talk about this matter to anyone, and the Holy One hates officials going through the door in private. ”
Xu Hao said curiously: "Who does the fourth uncle ask?" Have such a great ability to convince the Holy One? ”
"Leave that alone, just wait for the good news." Xu Zengshou smiled and personally sent Xu Hao out of the mansion.
Xu Hao, who was riding on a horse, fell to the bottom of his mood, and the fourth uncle wanted to arrange himself to be a brocade guard, which undoubtedly confirmed his previous guess, Xu Da obviously did not intend to be restrained.
Who will persuade Zhu Yuanzhang? Could it be Zhu Di? It's over, maybe history has really deviated because of its own appearance.
Xu Hao was suddenly confused, thinking carefully about his series of actions, it was nothing more than a little butterfly.
In the end, Xu Hao thought that Xu Da and Zhu Di would not succeed, first of all, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies was carefully built by Zhu Yuanzhang, which was itself to prevent the dictatorship of the generals, and the military power was not only divided into five, but also had to pass the dictate of the military department and the emperor if he wanted to mobilize soldiers and horses.
Secondly, Zhu Di has been far away from the center, his military power has been divided equally by several younger brothers, if he really dares to lead troops to the capital thousands of miles away, Yanjing will be occupied by the neighboring prince.
Not to mention the loss of the foundation, the capital is not monolithic, with the Xu family and a limited number of noble ministers, it is impossible to completely control the situation, and it is impossible for a cadre of civil servants to cooperate with Zhu Di.
Zhu Di himself has the Qin King Jin King who came out of Queen Ma, he dares to risk the world's disapproval to ascend the throne, and he will soon face the attack of the vassal kings and officials from all over the country, even if Zhu Di is eloquent, defeat is only a matter of a blink of an eye, after all, the position is not right, this is the most fatal.
When Xu Hao dared to speak, Zhu Yong, Zhang Yu and others would not follow Zhu Di, I am afraid that only the Daoyan monk would accompany him.
Besides, even if Zhu Di dared to take a risk, Monk Daoyan would never agree, and Xu Da could be so reckless? Is this still the generalissimo Xu who has no last resort?
Could it be that the person Xu Da likes is the King of Qin? Or is it the King of Jin? (To be continued......)
