The most in the whole New Year is to visit relatives and friends, meet guests to banquets, and the same is true for the Xu family.

Every day, someone sends an invitation and invites them to the banquet, and the Xu family has their own social circle, and after eating and drinking from house to house, they have to invite them back, and the cycle goes back and forth, and they come and go happily.

Although the people were tired, the food was much more abundant than usual, and it was like a meal with meat and wine, and if they couldn't eat it, they would take it home to satisfy the children's hunger, and they could receive some rewards, which was enough to offset the hard work of the past few days.

As for troublesome things such as weddings and funerals, the elders will explain what they don't want to go. Because the boss Xu Wen couldn't come forward on his behalf, Zhu Qiaoqiao entrusted Xu Hao to run errands, so that Xu Hao would have the opportunity to go out and wander around and relieve the boredom of staying at home for many days.

Although the attitude of many people in the family towards him has gradually changed, it is still the same on the surface, after all, Xu Hao is famous for murder, and Zhu Qiaoqiao is in charge of the house, and there is no angry thing in Zhuyuan such as unreasonable slow treatment and deliberate restraint.

Zhuyuan left some people one after another, and three of the top ten guards said goodbye, and almost all of them were the descendants of the long house and the three rooms. This made Xu Hao understand a truth, the loyalty of the children of the family is far higher than that of others, who let the deed of sale be in your hands?

Of course, where there is no absolute, Zhulan and the other four have vested interests, and they will not leave if they want to. However, his family came to persuade him, but Xu Hao ignored it, he still has this confidence, even if he leaves, it doesn't matter, it's good to get together and disperse.

Some people want to come, and several aunts of the Xiao family run here if they are fine, and the aunts and uncles are thinking that since their nephews have become commoners, the Mu family will obviously not agree to marry the county lord, and the door is not right.

It's better to give Xiao Yushi's family affairs as soon as possible, it's best to let Xiao Yuying be the wife and Yushi be the concubine, it's really not good, and the reverse is also possible.

In addition, there are people who don't dislike Xu Hao and hire matchmakers to come to the door, or at banquets. The wives of each family personally asked the meaning of the Xiao family, in the eyes of these rich but not expensive or not rich and inexpensive families, no matter how poor Xu Hao is, he is also a wealthy young master, and his daughter not only has no worries about food and clothing when she marries, but also can climb relatives with the Xu family.

Compared with Xu Hao's hot sales, the relatives of the young ladies of the Xu family are a little embarrassed. The collapse of the Fu family's Wang family means that it may be the turn of the Xu family next.

Even if the Xu family is not affected by the government, but looking at the Xu family, the most eye-catching Xu Hao has lost power, and the only official at present is only one third master. is still a seven-grade county order, and the people who hold their own status and status are higher than the Xu family, so they are naturally unwilling to take the risk of marrying the Xu family.

And the status is not as good as the Xu family, and the Wang family and the Liu family look down on others. In this way, after several lively marriage conferences, the Xu family did not make a deal together.

People live to save face, and wherever the three wives go, they have been more or less stimulated and neglected than last year, even if it is the arrangement of seats. The order of reception and the order of speaking have changed slightly, so that the already sensitive wives have noticed it sensitively.

The wives were in a bad mood. The people below thought about it, and if it didn't go well, there were often unlucky subordinates who were beaten, and under the influence of this, Xu Ji and Xu Song were forced to be angry. High hopes are placed on their respective mothers.

Xu Wen was very unlucky, even if Zhu Qiaoqiao took precautions, the news finally spread. The eldest young master of the Xu family has a lot of flower willow disease. For a while, it was in an uproar, and it became the laughing stock of the entire Xiaojia Village, and its reputation fell to the bottom.

Not to mention Xu Hao, who brought disaster to the country and the people was demoted to a common people, which was very happy. In this way, Xu Wen and Xu Hao have become a negative role model, and they have become a negative example when people in the village teach their children.

The noisy and lively New Year has passed, and it is early spring in February. On this day, after Xu Hao rushed to two weddings and a funeral, Li Qiu took him to the vicinity of Peach Blossom Village and pointed to the endless fields in front of him.

"Young Master is here, eighty acres of paddy fields, one hundred acres of dry fields, plus twenty acres of surrounding land, an orchard and the foundation of Zhuangzi, etc., a total of 10,000 taels of silver, what do you think?"

Who knew that Xu Hao didn't take it to heart at all, and said absent-mindedly: "It's so decided, this matter will be handed over to you, and the Yanwang Mansion has agreed to pay for it." ”

Li Qiu rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "Then in the future, the entire Zhuangzi will be handed over to the small one?" ”

Xu Hao pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "I can't leave you for the time being, so let Qiu Xiang and his wife take care of it." After you get married in the future, this place will be under your control, and Qiuxiang and his wife will go to Beiping. ”

"Done." Li Qiu nodded vigorously, and then asked, "Why does the young master insist on buying the land by himself?" Our family now has more than ten hectares of land, why waste silver? ”

Xu Hao smiled silently, turned over and got on his horse and slowly walked forward along the dirt road. Li Qiu naturally didn't know that when he was kicked out of the family in the future, he would have to have a place to stay.

Since Xu Hao lost the pacification envoy, Ouyang Lun was so frightened that he didn't dare to return to Beijing, but Comrade Lao Zhu couldn't wait, and ordered him to rush back immediately.

The wind and rain are coming again, Xu Hao estimated that Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, was afraid that it was going to end, and Ouyang Lun's commander was about to come to an end.

Therefore, Xu Hao is in a hurry to buy a field manor, who knows what will happen in the next two years? Comrade Lao Zhu seems to be fierce and fierce, but after all, he is almost seventy years old, and once he is critically ill, he has to hurry into the palace and take the errand of the second grandfather to death, so as to betray the house.

The problem is that Xu Hao can't go to Beiping immediately, at least he has to marry Ning Xue first, so he has to have a new house, a new home and a new industry. At that time, Ning Xue, who was a first-time wife, must be reluctant to let her mother and sister and brother live, so she had to live in Jinling for a year and a half, and then she could get used to the new life before she could leave for the north.

Xu Hao showed a wry smile, Ning Xue was unlucky to follow her, because she also had to betray the house, and then an unscrupulous couple ran away, which was really wronged by her.

With an apology, Xu Hao planned to build a new house, this time he was not ready to ask Zhu Qiaoqiao, but personally supervised and hired the most famous craftsmen in the capital to build the most chic new house.

In addition, Beiping will also secretly break ground, and Zhu Gaoxu will supervise the construction of a mansion, and it just so happens that this guy is going to build a palace, one large and one small, and all the money will be paid by Zhu Di and his wife.

Xu Hao killed Fu Youde and Wang Bi, even if it was an order from the emperor, for Zhu Di, Xu Hao undoubtedly added a glorious stroke to the credit book, plus the support of his aunt Princess Yan, money is not a problem.

When Li Qiu came, he inquired, it was not the property of the Fu family and the Wang family, but a corrupt official, otherwise he would not agree to kill Xu Hao, it would be too dangerous.

looked at the villagers in the village, and they all looked good and polite. Judging from the superficial premises, every family is basically able to get by, and there is no problem with their livelihood. Xu Hao decided to let his own experienced steward take care of all the matters in the early stage, and hire the farmer to negotiate the harvest or something.

He is not ready to hide it from his family, with the thousands of acres of fertile land and several industries in the name of the Xu family now, the 200 acres of land are no longer visible.

Even if someone cares, the money is from the Yan Wangfu, Tian Qi is in his own hands, who dares to talk more Xu Hao will not hesitate to reward him with a few punches.

Located in the middle of the village, the Zhuangzi is not large, and there are four or five manors surrounded by high walls, and the land in the Zhuangzi is very flat, with three main houses and six wings. Like the neighboring Peach Blossom Village, mulberry trees and various fruit trees are planted on the left and right.

When I came, I found that the village was very clean, the villagers were neatly dressed, and it was a rich village.

Xu Hao, who was accustomed to soaking in the pool, was very satisfied with the environment here, and asked casually, "Is there a hot spring?" ”

Li Qiu scratched his head, shook his head and said, "I don't know, wait for me to ask." ”

Xu Hao looked at the empty house in front of him and said, "Don't worry, what about the people who live here?" “

Li Qiu smiled: "Naturally, they are all dismissed." ”

"Oh!" Xu Hao nodded, and said in his heart that he had to secretly recruit troops, calculate in advance the family members who would follow him when the time came, and then calculate the descendants of Ning Xue to marry, well! Because of the robbery, it can't be too much.

There will be no more than fifty people at full capacity, and even less than thirty people. In this way, Xu Hao repeatedly counted the number of people and how many houses he needed to build, and how much silver he needed to spend for this.

Suddenly, there was movement outside, Xu Hao turned around, and saw some people standing in front of the courtyard gate. Li Qiu stepped forward and asked, "Who is coming?" ”

A middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "Big guy, come and inquire, what is the identity of your master?" ”

Xu Hao laughed when he heard it, the ancients chose to live next to him, if he was the identity of Jinyiwei, it would be fine, because most ordinary Jinyiwei must be innocent, and with the title of a pacification envoy, sure that the neighbors and villagers would not agree to him moving in, if he was really attacked by a group, it would be troublesome.

Sure enough, Li Qiu said with a weak heart: "My son-in-law is a distant relative of the Duke of Wei, and he is a serious scholar. In order to get married, he chose to settle here. ”

The middle-aged man said with satisfaction: "Since he is a hero and a scholar after that, there is nothing to say." This is Weijia Village, the famous folk customs are simple, the neighborhood is friendly, and when your son-in-law comes, please visit each family, my master will be swept away. ”

Xu Hao felt that this person's words were gentle, and his family background should be extraordinary. Li Qiu arched his hand and asked, "Dare to ask your master's surname?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "My old master's surname is Fang, and he has not yet entered Beijing, and it is my young master and his wife who have come here, not locals." ”

The old man on one side said: "The Fang family is a famous scholarly family, and your son-in-law is blessed." My family is the long branch of Weijia Village, but it is a pity that the master's family is sick and died, leaving only the young grandmother to support the family business alone. The widow's family is inconvenient to see outsiders, so I would like to invite your wife to come and see you, thank you. ”

Another old man said proudly: "My master is the patriarch of my own clan, and he is also the chief of the village. ”

In addition, there are several families who report their homes, either the local Wei family or the families of officials from all over the country who have entered Beijing, and the officials live in the capital and send a few people to take care of the fields here.

Now Xu Hao is even more satisfied, with these big families living next to each other, there should be no problem with safety. He was really worried that he was surrounded by villagers who didn't know the details, and that something was going to happen, so that every day should not be called the earth and the earth were not spiritual.
