Chapter 387: A Rich and Noble Family

Early in the morning, Zhu Qiaoqiao came to visit Mu Ningxue's mother and son, and took the time to whisper to Xu Hao, who was holding her son: "Yesterday's incident, I'm afraid it was discovered by my aunt." ”

Xu Hao nodded lightly, and Zhulan here sent a big red post, Qingwen took it and read: "A golden crown, a jade belt and a circumference, four ends of python satin, four ends of colored satin, ten palace silks, four handles of ten perfect wishes, four boxes of palace flowers, a pair of longevity locks, and four gold collars." ”

Zhu Qiaoqiao asked, "Who sent it?" ”

Mu Ningxue said softly: "Zhang Niangniang in the palace." ”

"Oh." Zhu Qiaoqiao turned to smile and said: "Now in the palace, only the mother is the most respectful, but it is a pity that she is not a serious concubine, and she can't be the queen mother." ”

Xu Hao suddenly said: "I plan to build an annex in Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture, how about repairing it according to the style here?" ”

Before Mu Ningxue and Zhu Qiaoqiao could ask the reason, Zhulan walked in again and said, "A few aunts are here with friends, and they want to come in and have a look." ”

"No way!" Xu Hao frowned, "Tell them to go somewhere else." ”

The courtyard door was slowly closed, Liu Mao and Liu Zhi touched their noses, but they didn't expect the third child of the Xu family to be so faceless, so he had to turn around and ask a friend to go elsewhere.

Because Liu Mao has made a lot of money recently, Xu Cuiyun ordered her husband to follow him to do business, although being an official is the best way out, Xu Qingtang also wants to bring his relatives, but Xu Hao doesn't look down on Liu Mao and Liu Zhi at all, without him personally running it, and the officials are not opened by the Xu family.

Six or seven literati walked and chatted while carrying folding fans, and Liu Zhi, who was pale, walked for a short time before he became out of breath and out of breath. Hua Shiro, a friend who had a good relationship with him in the past, supported him gently.

Liu Mao has always coveted the handsome Hua Shilang, in previous years, he was not good at words and could not get close, but it was the flamboyant Liu Zhijie who took the lead, and he had spare money in his hand, so he firmly tied Hua Shiro to his side.

Now that this time is over, Liu Zhi has both self-reliance and illness, which can be said to be more than enough but not enough. Liu Mao thought about this, and when his friends said goodbye and left at noon, they were able to enter the gate of the other courtyard and rest and eat in the outer courtyard.

Take advantage of the fact that there is no one in front of you. Liu Mao put aside his wife's resentment towards Liu Zhi. asked: "You two were so good in your early years, if you can help me fulfill my wish, I will help you open a shop and pay a principal of 1,000 taels." ”

Liu Zhi shouldn't be true to himself. gasped and said, "Don't look at Hanashiro as a son." It's a childishness. Listen to my command. ”

Liu Maoxi said: "In this case, you must ask your brother to recommend it, and the younger brother will never break his promise after the matter is completed." ”

"Well said." Liu Zhi thought about it. "There is no need to recommend this kind of thing, I have a plan, tomorrow I will let Hanashiro come to visit you, teach you a method, and keep it."

Liu Mao tugged at Liu Zhi with an itch and said, "Then let's go and worship him today." ”

Thinking that Liu Zhi was like a sick cat in front of his wife, but he was full of ghost ideas outside, the two immediately left Mochou Lake and invited Hua Shiro to come over for dinner in the small courtyard of the store.

Liu Zhi'er told Liu Mao to be more calm on his face, and not to make jokes casually, Liu Mao only promised. When Hua Shiro arrived, Liu Mao was full of joy and stepped forward to bow respectfully.

At the table, Liu Zhi deliberately asked, "Brother Hua, can you prepare for the exam this time?" ”

Hanashiro said: "Don't hide it from the two brothers, the younger brother's interest in reading has been over for a long time. ”

Liu Mao said: "Speaking there, the virtuous brother is a talented person, and Enke made Sui Zhu sink to the bottom of the sea?" ”

Hua Shilang smiled bitterly: "The little brother doesn't want to be motivated, how can he be in the middle of the family in recent years, he has no heart to study, and he is just a show talent when he is old." ”

While speaking, he drank a jar of good wine, it turned out that Liu Zhi and Liu Mao knew that Hua Shilang's alcohol was very shallow, and he intended to get drunk with him, and at this moment Hua Shilang was dizzy, and two peach blossoms appeared on his handsome face.

In fact, Hua Shilang seemed to be a little drunk, and he already understood what was going on, he and Liu Zhi intended to let Liu Mao pay for the money, and it was just a calculation.

Seeing that Hua Shilang was drunk, Liu Mao couldn't help but step forward to help him to rest on the cool collapse, and Liu Zhi smiled and watched them play.

The atmosphere of good men in Jiangnan has been around for a long time, so Xu Hao has always been puzzled, anyway, Liu Mao prefers men, and he is a master who stays when he sees his ass.

Liu Mao took off Hua Shilang's pants in a hurry, stared at the white piece of flesh, and didn't realize that the mast was erected three inches below his abdomen, the problem was that he was the first time, and he didn't know how to put it in.

Hanashiro, who pretended to be asleep, couldn't help it, turned around amorous and laughed, "You still say that you are a son, and you won't get it when you see your ass, that's it, the slave family will put it in for you." ”

This kind of business like Hua Shilang was called a petty official in the Ming Dynasty, and he made a living from it, and he was a clever person, even if he was an expert in this way, if a petty official wanted to make things difficult for people, he would have to make people hard; If you meet someone like Liu Mao who is not good, I can't wait to send you on the road, just like a prostitute, who is willing to waste a lot of time?

As a result, Hua Shilang secretly worked hard, and dozens of strokes made Liu Mao feel like a note, but Liu Mao still felt a hundred times more comfortable than a woman, and kept praising him.

Liu Zhi brought two cups of tea into the room and teased: "Brother Hua's wine also wakes up quickly." ”

Hua Shilang's face turned red, and he smiled, Liu Mao took his hand with satisfaction, and the three of them continued to drink until the second watch.

Liu Mao's original intention was to leave Hua Shiro to continue to come a few times, but Hua Shiro was good at trying to capture the old and indulge, no matter how he persuaded him, he had to go home.

Early the next morning, Liu Mao, who tasted the sweetness, immediately lent Liu Zhi 1,000 taels of silver and gave Hua Shilang 30 taels. In this way, Liu Zhi was able to open an identical shop, but he didn't know that Liu Mao's shop had no rent and his own purchase channels, so where could he compete with his peers?

And Xu Cuiyun insisted on entering the palace because she didn't listen to the advice of her sisters back then, and her affection has become weak in recent years. didn't know how to do business, and after taking out a dowry of 2,000 taels, he arranged for several family members to spy on her husband and dictate behind the scenes.

Gradually, Hua Shilang saw that Liu Zhi's business was very open, he couldn't get in or out, and his family was hindering him, while Liu Mao on the other side was generous, and his temperament was more honest and kind, so he simply abandoned Liu Zhi and went to the past, and Liu Zhi, who was only angry, was helpless. I was annoyed.

Liu Zhi, who secretly hated it, secretly let out the wind. Soon, the entire Xu family learned that Liu Mao was fond of men, and there were countless such things, except for a few words of discussion and laughter behind his back, he did not set off any turmoil.

Unconsciously reached Xu Luge's ears. She was very open to that. thinks that it is better for a husband to have a husband than to buy a few women back home. It is to turn a blind eye as long as the husband has paid enough public food.

The rich family will never be able to avoid this kind of bad thing, and Xu Hao does not know at present. In fact, even if you know the Tao, what can you do? It is not his turn to call the bills in the household affairs of his relatives.

And said that Xu Hao intends to operate Shanghai during this time, although Shanghai is still an inconspicuous coastal county, but the Songjiang Mansion to Hangzhou Prefecture is already the most developed area of the weaving industry in the Ming Dynasty, Shanghai is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the waterway and the capital are close at hand, with unique geographical advantages, which is incomparable with Quanzhou, Fujian.

Xia Yuanji vigorously dredged the Songjiang River and other rivers, and once he was able to open up 10,000 acres of fertile land in one fell swoop, Xu Hao planned to set up the customs governor's yamen in Shanghai, set up forts and build various factories, and put the future navy in Shanghai.

Chongming Island, the largest estuarine alluvial island in China, is a fertile land, lush forest, and abundant produce, making it a new land of fish and rice, where the densely populated people of the southern part of the Yangtze River used to settle.

Just as Xu Hao was planning for it, on this day at the Xu family, Xu Jiang took advantage of the unpreparedness of the people, reached out and pinched Zhong's leg, and touched the chest of the maid magpie.

The magpie was annoyed and shouted and scolded, and when Wang heard the news, he heard Zhong crying: "Xu Jiang came to bully us for no reason. ”

Xu Jiang said to the magpie indifferently: "I am kind enough to joke with you, but my demeanor is more intimate, whether I want to let you or not, what is there to be angry and noisy?" ”

Wang said sharply: "Men and women don't kiss, it's against you, a brute." ”

Xu Jiang shrank his neck, turned around and ran out, and the Wang family immediately sent someone to call his own mother, Jia Shi, to come over and reprimand him loudly.

Aunt Jia was trained to be a bloody dog, and the third wife, Liu, was furious and ordered someone to find Xu Jiang hiding in his wife's room, pointing and scolding: "Rebel animal, don't kneel down yet." ”

Xu Jiang pouted and knelt on the ground, and Liu said angrily: "You obscene thing to die, you are getting more and more lawless when you get older, the master told you to go outside to study, I am kind to keep you at home, I don't want to change my life and study well, but it will be a disaster for the family." I didn't say anything today, just told the master to go, and quickly drove you out, whether you live or die is up to you. ”

As soon as the words fell, Aunt Jia, who came back, shouted: "The obscene king and the eight lambs, the girls in the house don't love it, and the ones who go to the lover's house are also these prodigal hooves who deliberately hook up with the young master, pretending to be for the masters, adjusting the fan fire, when I don't know what to do?" Everyone in the family who has a posture wants to climb into Brother Hao'er's bed, and they are also worthy? It's ridiculous that they are all confused bastards, and even a few grandmothers are bent on hooking up with the third master, and they are all shameless goods. In the whole day, my wife opened her mouth to pick up people, closed her mouth to pick people, and today I really picked up, I went to live in a nunnery with him, what are you afraid of? ”

While scolding, Aunt Jia walked in viciously, grabbed Xu Jiang's ears and pulled them out, so angry that Liu couldn't speak.

The Yuan family, who rushed over, was ashamed and annoyed, thinking that Aunt Jia was obviously referring to Sang scolding Huai and ridiculing her, and the nameless fire rushed straight to her head, but at this time, stepping forward to fight was tantamount to exposing her shortcomings, and she had to endure it bitterly.

The problem is that she didn't dare to make a move, but Zhu Qiaoqiao, the eldest grandmother of the dignified Xu family, came back, and after receiving the news, she returned to the Xu family with the maid and son-in-law, and sneered at the door: "The sewage poured on my head and beat me hard." ”

Suddenly, Sixi rushed in with a healthy woman with a stick, and hit Aunt Jia like raindrops, she screamed when she was beaten, and fell on the kang and covered her head desperately to dodge.

Xu Jiang was also pressed to the ground by the women, and beat his buttocks, but fortunately, the Liu family came in a hurry, and everyone took their hands and sighed: "The house is in chaos to this point, not to mention that there is no respect for the elders and children, and even the royal law is gone, is this worth it?" ”

On the island in the middle of the lake, Xu Miaojin looked at Xu Hao leisurely and said: "The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked!" (To be continued......)
