Yisou Garden.

The rules of the Xu family are that doing birthdays is to do not do zero, and the age is exceptional.

Xu Yu was not yet twenty years old, so the Xu family did not pay much attention to his birthday and did not want to make a fuss about it. It was nothing more than a group of innocent girls in the mansion, who were worried that they would not find lively things and always regarded everyone's birthday as more important than the sky.

Mu Ningxue ordered the kitchen to prepare a noodle meal a day in advance, and everyone from top to bottom would eat noodles, even if she celebrated her son's birthday.

Xu Hao was very disgusted with the fact that he had a big fuck for a child, and canceled the old rule of coming to kowtow to his parents on his birthday, and did not allow gifts between his peers, nor did he allow relatives and friends to join in the fun.

However, the female family in the inner house is willing to have fun, or the families secretly send a gift, he can't even care.

Therefore, everyone's gifts were sent directly to Xu Yu. Among them, the wives and sisters-in-law all gave gold and silver ingots ranging from fifty to one hundred taels. The large surfaces were decorated and some elegant gifts were given, including four treasures of the study, silk fabrics, antique calligraphy and paintings, etc.

Mrs. Xiao bought a lucky dress for her grandson, and Xu Ye gave her younger brother a pocket watch, which meant that she asked her younger brother to cherish time. Xu Xian gave her second brother a big letter that would last for a hundred years.

Mu Lanxiang and Zhu Mingzhi gave them clothes sewn by themselves, and the Zhu sisters gave them a handwritten Diamond Sutra; in addition, there were poems and gifts sent by friends, and most of the maids sent bonsai in season, and anyway, all the gifts sent were filled with half of the room.

In the early morning, Qiuxiang asked Xiaonan and the girls to come over to pay their birthday to Xu Yu. When she walked deep into the green clouds, Qingyan and others were busy in the yard. Qingyan smiled at them and said, "You came so early, so we will pay our birthday to pay our birthday at this time! But that person hasn't gotten up yet and is sleeping soundly."

Several girls were embarrassed, and Qiu Xiang blushed and said, "We have something to pass by. Let's see if the second young master has gotten up. Who said he would pay his birthday?"

After they said that, they turned around and left. Seeing this, Niaoyan curled his lips and said, "What wave has this come? I don't say that I am disturbing Qingmeng early in the morning. Do you not meet on weekdays? Do you have to come here on purpose to pay a birthday? I really show my diligence."

"It's everyone's wishes." Qingyan said, "We should appreciate it. Look at the third young master's birthday every year, who will go to celebrate his birthday? Besides, they are not as rude as we live under the same roof, and we spend together day and night, and it will be rude not to come."

At this time, Xu Yu in the room woke up as soon as he turned over and sniffed the air. The fragrance of flowers was rising. He knew that someone would come, so he got up, put on a blanket, and ran out barefoot.

Mu Lanxiang was sitting outside the room, blushed at first sight, covered her eyes and shouted, "If it weren't for your birthday today, would you tell me to scold you?"

Xu Yu smiled and said, "This is how I am born."

"Stop being naughty." Mu Lanxiang smiled ashamed. Perhaps Xu Yu had never seen her ass, and there was nothing to do with her intimacy. "Put on her clothes quickly, otherwise I would call someone to come. Get dressed quickly and go to the room to have noodles together."

Chunyan and the others were also funny when they saw it. Relying on the fact that there were too many people, they secretly spread their fingers covering their eyes and peeking at the young man's "sweet body" from the gap.

Seeing this, Xu Yu turned around and ran back, put on his own clothes, washed his face and brushed his teeth.

Mu Lanxiang urged: "Hurry up, hurry up, go to Jieshoutang to eat noodles, everyone is waiting for the birthday boy."

"It's too early? I just got up."

"Where can you please? Could it be that the whole family will wait for you alone?"

Xu Yu had no choice but to follow her to Jieshoutang, and everyone greeted him along the way. After entering Jieshoutang, Lu Shufang smiled and said, "Oh! The birthday boy is here."

Since the old lady passed away, the banquet for the Chinese New Year was held in Jieshoutang. The family reunion banquet for festive days was limited to Xu Hao's support. Usually, each of the Xu family had dinner in their own yards. In addition, only the three brothers Xu Ye had this honor. Today, even the two wives of the East and West Mansions came here.

Xu Hao cannot change the family's tendency to favor boys over girls. He will never show up at any time. Of course, for the younger generation's birthday, Xu Qingtang and other men would not attend.

When Xu Yu faced the relatives in a big room, he quickly felt dizzy and lively when he greeted him, but it was so tiring.

In the crowd, Xu Yu noticed that Zhu Mingzhi and the others did not come. He came here at this time and saw the ghost, so he let the Xu women make fun of him.

After finally dealing with each other, Xiao waved at the wife's table and said, "Okay, okay, you sit down quietly and eat noodles, which made our heads hurt."

Liu smiled and said, "After eating noodles, we always find a place to sit. They make trouble for them, and we are quiet."

"Yes." The oldest Wang had already frowned and was very impatient.

During the meal, Xu Xiangyu asked, "Second brother, we have all given our birthday gifts. You should entertain us in the afternoon. What are you doing today?"

Xu Yu said, "I prepared the stage. However, a few friends sent a group of juggling and the Kunqu opera team outside. I didn't dare to agree immediately."

As he said that, looking at his mother, Mu Ningxue said, "There is a man who is afraid that your father will not agree. I'd better ask a few girls to sing two literary operas. You can have a drink and write poems to enjoy the entertainment."

Lu Shufang asked, "Is there any good show recently? I want to hear about the Moon Worshiping Pavilion."

Xu Xiangyu said, "What's the point? She burned incense and worshiped the moon and knelt there and sang, and she was so tired of listening. You said that there were no sworn brothers who were in chaos and could still separate the top scholars in high school? I saw a play last time. Qiannu's mother said that three generations did not recruit white-clad men, but Qiannu could actually leave her body and chase the people she liked. After entering Beijing for three years, there was still...

"It's a mess." Xiangyu's mother Yuan said: "After talking for a long time, I don't know what this girl is talking about. What else is there? Stop talking about it, the more we talk about it, the more we are confused."

Xiao smiled and said, "It seems that there is such a drama. A young lady's soul flew away. What's the drama called Zhang Qiannu?"

Liu said, "It doesn't sound like a play name, it's like a person's name."

Mu Lanxiang said, "Call the Chinese girl to leave the soul."

"It is the previous story of the Soul-Leaving Record." Xu Xiangyu explained, "It was originally from a novel in the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty changed it to a lyrics, the Jin Dynasty compiled it into a collection of qupai, and the former dynasty Zhao Gongfu wrote a lyrics, and the modern dynasty made many changes, and the plot became even more heart-stirring."

If they knew the Chinese ghost of later generations, they would understand what it means to be truly heart-wrenching, and the more they adapted it, the more outrageous it became.

Xu Yunsu was picking up a piece of dried tofu with chopsticks. He ordered Xu Xiangyu and smiled and said, "Now she is almost a doctor of theater."

Hongwen just happened to send a plate of rose meatballs. Seeing Xu Yunsu reaching over with tofu, she quickly picked up a plate and went forward to continue, and smiled and said, "Thank you, girl, but there are also on our table."

Everyone didn't react at first, but when they thought it was obvious that Hongwen had misunderstood, they burst into laughter, making Hongwen embarrassed, and stood there blankly.

Lu Shufang smiled and said, "What are you doing when standing here? You can't get over yet."

Hongwen's shameful face turned red, so she had to leave with her head down. Xu Kun smiled and said, "Don't go to your heart, it has nothing to do with you."

When Lu Shufang heard this, she couldn't help but glance at her husband and said nothing.

At this time, Xu Yu interrupted and said, "Since you are willing to listen to the strange dramas of gods and gods, I will invite a special martial arts team."

"What's the point?" Xu Yunning didn't like ghosts. After all, it was mostly love stories and was not exciting. She suggested: "Why not listen to the Liangshan Mountain in Water Margin?"

Puchi! Xiao Yushi couldn't help laughing. Seeing everyone looking at him, she smiled and said, "I remembered the words of the master, saying that Water Margin was translated to a foreign country, and it was translated into a story of one hundred and five men and three women."

The room burst into laughter again, and Lianyi smiled and said, "Just have a few funny and lively scenes, and the wives are willing to watch them."

Xu Xiangyu said: "It's better to invite two of you who can sing and let's enjoy it quietly."

Xiao said helplessly: "You guys are always confused, just start making trouble like this first."

Xu Yu smiled and said, "We should have discussed it first, and then decided on what show to let others bring out what outfits."

"The most important thing now is to eat noodles." Xiao said, "After eating noodles, you can discuss it slowly. We won't get together with you, and we will have fun, so that we can avoid accommodating each other and will not be happy in the end."

Xu Yu quickly ate a few bites of chicken noodles, looked up and said, "Eat quickly. After the meal, let's go to my place for a meeting. Everyone can attend. After discussing, let Xiangyu come to make the show and make adjustments. There is no better doctoral than her. She will know who wants to listen to what kind of show."

Lu Shufang said: "How easy is it? This is a great knowledge of the promotion. For example, if you assign a play, you must first know who can sing well, right? What kind of tricks will the person invited? Who can play with whom? If you invite one or two opera troupes, you can order whatever we like to listen to? Even if you order a play, it will be disappointing if you can't sing well."

The women nodded one after another, thinking it was reasonable. Xu Yu scratched his head, "It turns out that there are so many things to pay attention to, and it is like a mountain across the road."

Lu Shufang smiled and said, "I did it a few times before I knew this."

"Okay, okay, don't say it all." Xu Kun frowned and said, thinking that you are a brother and wife, are you so enthusiastic?

Outside the mansion.

Xu Qi called his family member Jiang Li, first gave him instructions, and then said, "When you meet Zhang Bao, we told him that we were not afraid of complaining, so don't make mistakes. It is because of the grievances of Rujin's death that we don't want to make things difficult for him. As the saying goes, the great man will reward him with a lot of money. If his greed is endless, tell him again, don't rely on someone to be in charge of the commander behind the scenes. If he really wants to confront him in court, he will definitely suffer himself and tell him not to be confused. In short, be careful when speaking, and don't be considered weak by him."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Young Master, please rest assured. The young man knows what you mean. He is afraid that the Zhang family will be too greedy and refuses to settle the lawsuit. The young man will scare him first, then defraud him, and then give him good things after giving him the benefits, and then he will agree."

After saying that, Jiang Li laughed and said, "Even if this is done, it is a small contribution. We can't take advantage of Mr. Xu, please help me."

Xu Xiang laughed and scolded, "Damn it, the damn slave, before the matter is done, I will think about making profits from it. When the matter is done, Mr. Xu will naturally reward you, get out."

"Yes." Jiang Li ran out and muttered as he ran: "Reward is reward, profit is profit, and this requires ability to get it. Anyway, Mr. Xu doesn't care."

He immediately went straight to Neiliu Lane, walked to the door, and saw that the door of the Zhang family was open, and walked in directly.

The yard was filled with smoke, and the mourning shed was set up, and there was a coffin inside. The front of the spirit was cleaned up very clean. Zhang Bao and his wife were lit candles in front of the altar, placing dishes, and Zhang said and cried.

There were not many people in the yard, and Zhang Bao saw him at a glance. Although Jiang Li was Xu Feng's family, this matter had nothing to do with them, and the person who came was a guest, so there was no reaction.

Just as he was about to ask, Jiang Li hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I really don't know that the girl was buried. I have never come to pay my respects. I am so rude that I am so ruthless. Brother Zhang asks to forgive me."

He saw Jiang Li kneeling respectfully on both knees and performing four salutes in front of the spirit, shocking everyone.

He was a literary man who could do this. Zhang Bao and his wife, who were the first dwarf, had no time to hold him back. They even said they didn't dare to do so. Zhang Bao quickly returned the gift.

After all, there are many people who are not surprised. Zhang stopped crying and looked grateful. When he stood up, he immediately knelt down on his behalf on behalf of his dead daughter and thanked him for his greeting.

Zhang Bao said: "Please sit down and have tea and rest."

The Zhang family has no relatives and friends in Jinling. Those who come to the funeral are all neighbors and common people they know. After they sit for a while, they leave. People with high identities will not come at any time, and the Zhang family sued Xu Kun and Mr. Yin, which is too late to avoid suspicion at this pass.

Zhang Bao accompanied him personally, Jiang Li took the tea and said, "I was surprised when I heard the bad news about Miss Jin last night. I thought it was a rumor. I asked carefully and even knew the love of death. I was so angry that I scolded all night."

In front of Zhang Bao, Jiang Li raised his middle finger to express his disdain, "If he was not my master, I would have to scold him. If Miss Jin died too unjustly, I wish I could come over and discuss with you and your wife immediately, and I must take revenge so that I can feel a sense of injustice in my heart.

Alas! Later I heard that Brother Zhang, you reported to the official position, and I felt very pleased. No matter what he is rich and powerful, as long as we are right, we can sue them. In short, life is at stake. Is there no law in the Ming Dynasty?

I admire your brother Zhang for his courage. Even if it is the Duke of England, he will touch it. This is called the vast net of heaven without any leakage, and they are also responsible for it."

Jiang Liluo said something whispered, but Zhang Bao didn't say anything. After hearing this, Zhang said, "Amitabha! Your second master Jiang is really aware of people. Your master is far less than you. They said that people like us are the best to bully us, but they don't know that if people die, what are we afraid of? There is no big deal in our lives. In the end, everything depends on the word "reason". Could it be that I have worked so hard to raise my daughter so old and forced to death by them? In the end, I will only know my family's methods if I make a lawsuit for them to eat."

"Second Master" is a special title after the Song Dynasty, referring to the housekeepers and servants of high-ranking officials and noble families, etc. It is both a respectful title and a joke. Because officials are called masters and uncles, his confidant is naturally the second master.
