Chapter one hundred and sixty-five evil obstacles

The sound of firecrackers, the family reunion.

In Fushou House, the whole family dressed up in a gorgeous dress and sat at the banquet and talked and joked around the old lady. Compared to last year's a little cold, this year is undoubtedly much more lively.

Zhu Qiaoqiao and Wang Xuanqing's two granddaughters were busy and could not stop for a moment. The three wives sat in the chief with the old lady, surrounded by some decent elderly mothers.

The aunts had a seat alone, the girls sat on one seat, and Xu Song and several illegitimate younger brothers sat on another seat, and the young one was held by the nurse.

The maids with status held more than ten or eight seats. Not counting the girls around the girls, as soon as they counted, the people in Xu Hao's house were very loud and the number was uniform, almost all of them were sitting and laughing and eating. Who told Xu Hao to confiscate one?

Xu Wen had a happy girl, Xu Ji had four, and Xu Song was the youngest and was not willing to be outdone. There were two. Even if he had no face and no right status, he had to accompany the two young ladies to serve others.

As for the three masters and the two brothers Xu Wen and Xu Ji who became relatives, they both had a drink with the guest butler and waited for the man in the house. They came over to chat and laugh for a while before leaving.

The old lady put down the silver chopsticks and asked with a smile: "Why haven't Hao'er come back yet?"

Zhu Qiaoqiao, who was standing beside her, looked at Wang Xuanqing who was being pulled by Xu Cuitao and was laughing, "I sent someone back in front of me and said that I would accompany the emperor and the empresses, I am afraid I won't be back tonight."

"Oh." The old lady said to the old friends with a smile: "Last year, Hao'er was at home, but this year he was not here. Come on, let's eat ours. No matter him."

The old ladies all nodded with smiles, praising Xu Hao's ability and appearance, etc. The old ladies listened with a smile, and Zhu Qiaoqiao hurried forward to drink after seeing this.

Before the three rounds of wine were over, the old ladies were thinking about their children and stood up to say goodbye together. Zhu Qiaoqiao hurriedly arranged for the little girls to hold umbrellas and lights to send them away one by one.

Among them, a respected nurse nurse fed and beat the master with her own hands. Zhu Qiaoqiao simply helped her and sent her home. When she came back, she heard the cry of a woman coming from the house. Zhu Qiaoqiao secretly called out a bad word and walked into the house quickly.

Wang Xuanqing was crying with the rain, kneeling in front of the elders and crying loudly. His wife Wang looked pale and kept wiping her tears. She was supported by the two wives, one on the left and one on the right, and two strange women with filial piety were standing.

The girls and brothers and most of the maids were not there, so they probably went to another room to avoid it.

"It's weird? When did they come in? Did they clearly say that they were not allowed to be put in?"

Zhu Qiaoqiao muttered to herself, and hurried forward, and saw the old lady pointing at her, saying in a deep voice: "Do you know what Hao'er is doing? Say it."

Zhu Qiaoqiao's throat immediately became dry, and Qiqiai Ai said, "I know."

"Then why don't you say it?" The old lady was furious.

Zhu Qiaoqiao smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't this a big holiday? Isn't this afraid of angering you? It makes everyone lose their interest, so I thought it would be too late to wait for tomorrow."

"You, you are so angry." The old lady looked excited and pointed her trembling hand at the two women of the Wang family. "The old marquis just died. The whole family will move back to their hometown together tomorrow morning. Who will give you the courage to say tomorrow?"

Zhu Qiaoqiao pretended to be in a state of pain. She wiped the corners of her eyes with a sweat towel and whispered: "I was wrong."

"Oh!" The old lady sighed and shook her head and said, "I was unfortunate that my family had such a sin. It was my Xu family who was sorry for your Wang family."

Seeing this, Xiao whispered: "What's the matter with Guan Hao'er? How dare he not listen to what the emperor told him?"

"Shut up."

The old lady Jun shouted loudly and said, "Didn't you hear it clearly just now? It was your precious son who designed to force the Fu family and the son to death, and then ran to the Wang family to force the old marquis to drink poisonous wine by himself. The emperor was furious about this! Oh, the emperor is confused! Why didn't he kill that evil beast?"

Xiao was about to speak but stopped. Looking at the old lady's angry look and the sister-in-law who kept crying around her, she didn't dare to continue to defend her son. In fact, she was also confused. How could her son save his life after committing such a great sin? Thanks to God's blessing!

One of the women said: "Now that my family's title has been removed, most of the family's wealth has been confiscated, and there is not much left. Most of the servants have been sent. Seeing that life is difficult in the future, the old lady sent her to inform the mansion. If we part, I'm afraid there will be no more meeting this time. Please take good care of my girl because of the past friendship."

The old lady focused on her head, remembered the boxes and cages that the Wang family had stored in her home, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, if you have a breath, you will definitely take good care of Xuanqing. Once your family is settled, Laozi will send someone to send some Xuanqing's dowry. In addition, there is a little bit of my Xu family's wishes, and I will send them together at that time."

"Thank you, old lady, I've said goodbye." The two women kowtowed to the old lady Wang and others one by one, and hurried away with their heads down.

Wang cried: "The family business has been destroyed for many years. My ancestors, you want to make the decision for me and Xuanqing!"

The old lady smiled bitterly and said, "How can you decide for you? That evil beast is now supported by the emperor, who dares to do anything to him?"

Wang cried and shouted, "Hasn't he been demoted to a commoner? He is the murderer, so he should apologize for his death."

"You are confused." The old lady frowned and explained: "Even the priest has not executed him, who dares to violate the will? Besides, it is not a violation of the family law, what basis should be used to beat him to death? And if you are really confused and cannot see through the joints here, and are determined to take revenge on the third brother, don't blame the old man for turning his back and driving your family out of the house."

Wang was shocked, looked in disbelief, and shouted like crazy: "Mom, how can you be so partial? He is so careless if he kills someone? Is there any reason for the law?"

"I'm too lazy to tell you." The uneasy old lady was impatient and waved her hand: "Help your wife back and take good care of her. No one can survive if something happens."

In this way, Zhu Qiaoqiao and other women persuaded each other and finally pulled Wang and Wang Xuanqing away, and in an instant, there were no few people left in the room.

Liu is now very grateful to his second sister-in-law and the third brother who brought her son back. Moreover, the Fu Wang family has nothing to do with her, so he pulled down Xiao's sleeve and whispered: "I'll avoid it first. You can persuade me. For the New Year, won't let Hao'er go home? Even if you make a mistake, you are our child."

"I'll pay attention." Xiao nodded and walked over.

Liu immediately gave a wink to the maids such as Yuelan, and everyone retreated.

After everyone was exposed, the old lady smiled bitterly at Xiao and said, "What should be here finally came. Since Hao'er became the Jinyiwei, she has known that this day will be sooner or later."

Xiao sighed: "This child is really unpredictable. How good is he to be his young master? Why do you have to get involved with the Yan Prince's Mansion? Who else is the other brothers of the same clan hide away? Now, I'll suffer a great loss!"

The old lady said angrily: "Isn't it for you, the mother who wants face? Otherwise, he would have lost his heart and ran to the Yan Palace to curry favor with the Yan Palace? Now you say something regrettable. Since Hao'er has clinged to the royal family, it's like you're beautiful all day long? Now, you've lost even your fame. From now on, you'll be his young master at home."

Xiao's eyes turned red and he choked and said, "My wife knew that the child was for me. After this, she only wanted to stay by her side safely and not blame him for being unsuccessful."

"Okay, okay, don't cry, you're not dead yet!"

The old lady looked helpless, "It's still necessary to guard this year, otherwise it would be unlucky! Let them all come into the house to talk to us, Hao'er said a thousand words, after all, he was in control, otherwise how dare he harm the two old generals? Tell him to go home and be honest with me in the future."

"yes!"

At this moment, Xu Hao and Li Jinglong sat opposite each other in the Peach Blossom Pavilion of the Li family, listening to the Li family's singer singing unpleasant songs.

"You are such a man. Even the King of Fu family was destroyed by you. Your Majesty has been relieved from now on."

Li Jinglong raised the wine glass with a smile, and Xu Hao raised the glass with one hand in anger, saying, "I'm unlucky. If I hadn't blocked it, this matter would have fallen on you. If I had known you would have gloated, I would have taken you together."

"No, no, no, no, no," Li Jinglong waved his hand quickly and said with a smile: "My brother's life ambition is to have many wives and concubines, and he has seen all the beauties in the world, and died in a romantic village. He doesn't want to sleep and eat all day long, and he is slaughtered by a beauty with a deep hatred of blood."

Xu Hao shook his head helplessly and said, "It's okay for the Wang family to say that the title has disappeared, but the family is safe. Returning to his hometown to buy some land, he will not have to worry about his livelihood in the future. The Fu family is in a little trouble. Half of the clan members moved to Yunnan and the Mu family to take care of them, while the other half is going to Liaodong. I have no friendship with King Ning, where are you, brother?"

Li Jinglong said unscrupulously: "Leave it to me. I will write a book later. For my sake, King Ning Qiansui will definitely not make things difficult for the Fu family, and will definitely place it properly."

Xu Hao still shook his head: "It's better to beg for yourself than to ask others. The problem is that I don't have much savings. Why don't my brother lend me 10,000 yuan in cash? I'll help me deliver it to the Fu family."

Li Jinglong felt a little painful and said, "Who is not in a shortage of money after the New Year? I am naturally not immune to the common people. By the way, why don't we do some business together and buy tea and other goods from a small Southeast country, and transport it to the pass to the pass for at least three or five times more money. Silk and porcelain will be taken back secretly for a high price. In less than a year, we can earn at least 100,000 taels of real money."

Xu Hao opened his eyes wide: "Isn't this just smuggling? This is a death row."

Li Jinglong said disapprovingly: "Others are murderers, can we be the same? Not to mention the distant ones, just talk about the princes in the capital. Who wouldn't secretly assign family slaves to do business? Haven't the emperor turned a blind eye for many years?"

Xu Hao knew Zhu Yuanzhang so well and said, "I don't believe it. If someone really exposed their smuggling of goods, there would be no ten heads enough to cut them."

Li Jinglong smiled and said, "On the surface, they are naturally law-abiding, but as long as they go back and forth secretly a year, they will be successful in the previous year. Do you think they will take risks?"
