Xu Qinglian, who was lying on the bed, did not move. After all, her younger brother was too old and she was wearing a bellyband to show him. She smiled and said, "Go to the outside room and wait for us to get up and wash." She watched her younger brother go out obediently, and then she lifted up the brocade quilt. Seeing that the red leaf octopus tightly hugging the quilt tightly like a red leaf octopus, she had no choice but to cover her brocade quilt well and put on a spring shirt.

Xu Hao, who was sitting outside, found a chair by the window, and sat down, and saw four yawning maids walking out of the next room, feeling strange. It turned out that the three girls, Chunyue, Xiayu, Dongxue, who were as old as Qiuxiang, had been released to get married in the past few days, and the maids who came in the same group as Qingwen were also sent home for various reasons.

Recently, people from the second house have been replenishing newcomers from time to time, and the number of people coming and going is just the same. Xu Hao originally planned to add more staff to his elder sister and younger sister, but Xu Qinglian declined it, saying that the rules at home are rules and it is not good to surpass them.

On the contrary, Xu Hao's position in the old lady's mind was getting higher and higher, and he was rewarded with several servants from time to time. It is said that he would have to add more people in the past few days, which made Xu Hao's bamboo garden now have a trend of serious exceeding the standard, and he is the leader among the brothers.

Since last year, the Xu family has changed the rules, which is also inevitable that the Ming Dynasty has emerged from the war and the population has reproduced. Besides, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

Nowadays, the young masters who were born in the house have two first-class maids, four second-class maids, four third-class maids, and four rough maids. There is also a nurse, two teaching women, two in charge of the affairs, and four mothers, and the number of people has increased a lot compared to before.

In the house of the legitimate lady, there were a close-fitting girl, two first-class maids, two second-class maids, four third-class maids, four sluts, nurses and two teaching ladies, two mothers and four mothers, and the number of people he picked up was more than doubled than before.

The treatment of illegitimate brothers and sisters is much worse. After all, some wives are interfering with it and still keep it pitifully. The old lady didn't say much for some reason and let her decide. Among them, the concubines have the worst situation, just two or three maids, and some even have one maid to serve her.

This makes Xu Hao look even more special, so that everyone looks at him and talks about it. In addition to Zhulan's identity, Qingwen and Musk Yue Xiangyu are both treated as the standard of a close-fitting maid. Together, there are exactly four super maids, which is enough to shock all the servants.

Of course, the monthly money was allocated from the old lady's monthly money. In addition to saying that the old lady was biased, everyone could only envy and jealous. In fact, it was all Xu Hao's own money, and the interest was asked by Guanyan's Mansion. There were three or five hundred taels of silver every month, and they were all filial to the old lady to reward people.

For this reason, the old lady was happy and planned to expand the scale for him, adding it to eight first-class maids, eight second-class maids, eight third-class maids, eight slutty maids, and several women and women. Almost like the old lady's own treatment, after the news spread, countless families were trying their best to stuff their daughters in.

Xu Hao has not yet expressed his opinion on this. Xu Hao's wet nurse is surnamed Xiao. She is 40 years old this year. She has grown breasts with her three siblings. She is now spending her years at home all year round. She enters the mansion from time to time and often lives in Tianxiang Pavilion.

It is also because Xu Hao's temperament has completely changed. He is very unhappy whenever he sees the wet nurse relying on her seniority, so he is a little cold in his words. Therefore, the wet nurse Xiao is unhappy to go there from time to time, and occasionally he will go to Zhuyuan for a walk.

Xu Qinglian is nostalgic. As the eldest sister of the Xu family, she still has two personal maids around her, named Chunbi and Xiahe respectively. Because she opened a poetry club, the names naturally took a lot of attention. According to the pattern of spring, summer and autumn, Chunbi's name comes from He Zhizhang's first sentence of "Jade makes up a tree high", while Xiahe comes from the Southern Song Dynasty poet Yang Wanli's description of summer in "The lotus flowers are red in the sun".

As Xu Hao’s most precious sister, Hongye naturally made two personal maids, one was taken from Du Mushan’s "Stop and sit in the maple forest at night" and the other was taken from Wang Anshi's plum blossoms. The first sentence was "Several plum branches in the corner of the wall", called Qiu Feng and Dong Mei.

As for the names of other maids, I won’t go into details. Anyway, Xu Hao himself can’t remember who is who he is now. It’s just that they all have fragrance, joy, osmanthus, moon or blue, red, green, green, lotus, spring, summer, autumn and winter, amber pearls, mandarin duck parrots, etc.

Now everyone is unfamiliar with each other and has nothing to talk about, so Xu Hao turned his head and looked outside. The four maids were all thirteen or fourteen years old. They were yawning continuously, sleepy and sleepy. Everyone was not dressed. At first glance, they saw the third young master sitting there, and they immediately turned around and ran back to the house.

In the room, Xu Qinglian sat by the bed and coaxed the sleepy Hongye to get up, but no matter how she coaxed Hongye, she would never wake up. Xu Qinglian patiently accompanied her sister.

After a long time, four maids were dressed up in a new look. They had white gouache on their faces, red rouge on their mouths, long hair was tied up with double rings of maids, fragrant and shiny flower oil, a few jade hairpins were inserted obliquely, wearing swaying pearl earrings, and shining silver bracelets on their wrists, wearing beautiful silk new clothes, walking out in a squeaky step, looking at Xu Hao from time to time, then you pushed me and I poked you, laughing in a roar. In the end, no one was embarrassed to talk to Xu Hao on his own, and rushed into the lady's bedroom shyly.

In the past, Chunyue and others would come to take care of Xu Hao to wash up, and they were very comfortable talking and laughing. Qiuxiang was most disgusted with Xu Hao running here and running for nothing, and often lost her temper about it.

Unexpectedly, things changed so quickly, which made Xu Hao feel a little moved. As expected, the house was like the barracks, with soldiers fighting in the iron camp. Although they could still come back to do things after getting married, they were already married and no longer had any taboos in the past.

After a long time, Xu Qinglian slowly walked out after finishing washing, rolled up her sleeves and ordered: "Go and make a basin of warm water and take the fragrant panic seeds and green salt I used together."

Xu Hao smiled and said, "I am so old, I will do my own business. Sister, just sit down and accompany me."

"In my sister's eyes, you will always be a child." Xu Qinglian said with a smile. After Chunbi rushed to bring a basin of clear water, she ordered Xu Hao to stand up without saying a word and gently wash his brother's face with her hands.

Xu Hao closed his eyes and felt the surging family affection silently. It was a long-lost feeling and intimacy. No one in the whole family knew that the eldest sister was the key figure in the Xu family who could continue to maintain their wealth and prosperity in the future. Without the existence of the eldest sister, Xu Hao could not have been able to connect with Zhu Gaochi and even King Yan Zhu Di so quickly.

After washing his face, Xu Hao let Xu Qinglian wipe him dry with a towel. He thought to himself that as long as I gave me another year or two, maybe I wouldn't need Zhu Gaochi anymore. At least I don't have to consider Zhu Gaochi's feelings, and the eldest sister can get married at that time. I'm afraid that if I have a relationship with Zhu Gaochi, it would be bad if I don't marry him if I don't.

But it is unlikely to think about it. After all, Zhu Gaochi's image is too much. Moreover, the main concubine and second concubine are full of beautiful maids. If he is sick, he will want to marry him and rank at the end.

Wait a little longer, Xu Hao still feels unsure and sighs that he still has to hold the trump card of his elder sister. Besides, the elder sister is only seventeen or eighteen years old this year. Even without Zhu Gaochi, he will not rush to marry his elder sister. It is not too late to talk about marriage when he is twenty years old, so let Zhu Gaochi wait stupidly.

Xu Hao had finished washing up. Hongye had just woken up and was stuck on the bed and acting coquettishly, letting his elder sister go in to serve him. Xu Qinglian couldn't turn around and entered the house. She smiled bitterly while walking, "I really owe you two in my previous life."

Xu Hao laughed and saw that it was getting late, he said to the unfamiliar Xia He: "Please go to the old lady, just say you should go there a little late and leave us a breakfast, so you don't have to wait for us."

Xia He quickly agreed with a sweet voice, and went downstairs happily, which made Chunbi and others look envious. From time to time, they stumbled into the house for excuses and sneaked out to look at Xu Hao, always preparing for the third young master to give instructions.

When a new girl came to the village, Xu Hao naturally couldn't help but appreciate her. Compared with Qiu Xiang and others' appearance, her level has increased a lot. Her appearance has its own characteristics and temperaments have their own advantages, but she is still not as good as Qingwen and the others.

Miss Hongye finally came out after much attempt. Xu Hao waited for most of the day and was helpless with his baby sister. The three of them then took their maids to Fushouju.

After asking the old lady for help, Xu Hao greeted Zhu Qiaoqiao, the sister-in-law who came to stand early, and asked the three wives one by one.

The two sisters Xu Qinglian went to sit down next to the sister, and Xu Hao went to the brothers' side to sit down.

Xu Ji's injuries have not been recovered yet, so he has not come. Except for his elder brother Xu Wen, there are four illegitimate brothers sitting honestly. Xu Hao knew what was going on, and he smiled and sat beside Xu Wen. The oldest of them is only seven years old, and Xu Lang is just three years old. He rarely comes with his wife. The two are born to the eldest wife and the two are born to the third wife.

In the past, the Xu family rules were all due to the rules of the family, and Xu Hao was the same. Sometimes he ran into the illegitimate brothers who came to play in the garden. Even if he was young and ignorant, he would come over to greet him properly after seeing him. If he was a little rude, he would even be punished with the nanny and the servants around him. Therefore, since they were one year old, the nanny had always been in contact with him and taught them to respect and abide by the rules when they met his brother.

The four illegitimate younger brothers are really too unexistent in the Xu family. They usually rarely appear and do not exist. With the curse of the Xu family, it is unknown whether they can live beyond 16 years old. Therefore, Xu Hao is not familiar with them at all. In addition, there are a lot of trivial matters on weekdays and there are too many people around him. Although they all live together, they can't see them a few times a year.

In Xu Hao's eyes, they were treated as their children and nephews. After all, the age gap was there, and each party had no contact, so he didn't care much. Now that he was too disappointed with his elder brother and second brother, he had to pay attention to his four younger brothers, so he mentioned it to his grandmother and asked his younger brothers to come over to pay their respects every day from now on.

Xu Hao hopes that when they grow up in the future, they can become their own useful help, at least not become useless playboys.

In view of this, Xu Hao did not do anything except to secretly pay attention to their daily life. The more neglected the younger brothers were in the Xu family, the more they were unwilling to give up and worked hard to move forward.

Xu Hao raised his hand and touched his fifth brother Xu Jiang's little head for the first time, and asked about his studies with a smile. This made Xu Jiang, who was young, feel flattered and dared not move. The other three younger brothers all looked up in surprise and looked at Xu Hao foolishly.

In their young minds, the third brother Xu Hao is already a big man at the level of a demon. Since he beats the eldest brother and the second brother, the third brother has been on par with the three masters.

But they didn't know that if they beat someone, they would be punished. Xu Hao's property and money were forced to hand over to his family. Although he did not suffer any flesh and blood, it seemed much more miserable than being beaten. This is the price of the Xu family's fault.

PS: I am conventional to thank the three heroes 23222333, fugudoku and lizziel for their rewards. There is a party today, and I am afraid I will be forced to drink a few more beer. I don’t have the best alcohol tolerance and blush after taking a sip of wine. Then I am confused and I am afraid I can’t write anymore. I originally wanted to write an extra chapter, but now it is already two o’clock in the morning. I really can’t stand it anymore. Please forgive me.

I felt that I suddenly had many new friends yesterday and left a lot of comments, some likes and some dislikes, and all of them were welcomed. There was also a review ticket from Mengsheng Mengshengzi in the evening, which suddenly lowered the evaluation score to 9.0. Fortunately, my subordinates showed mercy, and the score was very fair.

Xiaochai is allowed to complain, it is really difficult to write novels about family matters. So many characters and details are not much simpler than describing the court and war. Moreover, the plot itself is not likable enough and dull enough. As a niche book, many unnecessary plots and conflicts have been added, deliberately creating ups and downs in the plot, and I feel strange and inappropriate.

Many times, I feel that sometimes the pig's feet in my writing is already two-thirds long, and I really don't want to make a fuss wherever I go. It's really unrealistic to worship thousands of people in all directions.

Originally, according to the initial setting, the fate of many characters would end in tragedy, such as Qiuxiang and Xu Qinglian, Xu Cuitao and Xiao Ziying and Xiao Yushi, etc. In short, many people have bad lives, and Xiaochai tends to be single female protagonists, so women are the most tragic, and some even die as soon as they appear.

The writing style is not mainly based on the frivolity of the present, but rather the stable brushwork similar to Yan Jiu, which is very lifelike, mature and heavy. Unfortunately, after trying it, I felt that I could not be reborn as Kangxi, and the imitation of Dongshi is undoubtedly even more annoying.

I didn't think too much about this, and I felt that I should try my best to satisfy all aspects. It would be impossible to have fewer women, and it would not be possible to have too many women. I could not just write about the home and take into account the wonderful world outside, so the current Mingdeng appeared.

The basic tone will not change in the future. Just keep your current style. There will be no tragedy, and there will be no fewer women. In terms of emotions, they will definitely be single female protagonists.

I just hope that everyone can be more patient. According to the current progress, the plot of this book may not have reached one percent of the progress. The fate of the characters you are speculating about is just beginning. The road ahead is long. Xiaochai must not let the plot become mediocre. The ending of the characters will be unexpected, and it will make everyone feel that it is reasonable.

It took several years to wait until Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the west. Zhu Yunwen would be the Emperor Jianwen for several years. Then Zhu Di had a few years of Jingnan Battle, nearly ten years, and it was just an early transition.

The real beginning has to be from the time Emperor Yongli ascended the throne. At that time, the pig's feet had already grown up and started a family and career, and they had to face the court and many enemies.

The aggrievance that everyone feels at present is entirely to lay the groundwork for the future plot. There is no way, you have to follow history and endure temporary suffering to be a real man.

That’s all the spoilers. Maybe I was unhappy for a moment and couldn’t say that I could write Zhu Di to death. I made the pig’s feet miserable and lonely to abuse him. Anyway, things in the world cannot be as satisfactory as possible!

Thank you everyone for chatting with Xiaochai. If you are dissatisfied, you will scold me. It is already three o'clock in the morning, so let's stop talking nonsense.
Chapter completed!
