Chapter 2 Happy Events

The plan for the day lies in the morning, but for those who are used to nightlife, they feel very uncomfortable when they first arrive.

However, there were not many entertainment programs in this era. At night, I was just reading books and playing chess or chatting with my maids. The problem was that Xu Hao and they had no common language, and the books were too boring. They often had no opponents in playing chess. They had to go to bed obediently after being bored. After a long time, they got used to it.

The air in the morning was extremely fresh, and it was really a world of difference compared to later generations. Under the tea stand, Xu Hao stood up and took a deep breath of the nine great cycles. He suddenly felt refreshed and his ears and eyes were clear.

After glanced at his sister who was still practicing piano skills, it was estimated that the magic sound would be successful in just a few days. Xu Hao hurriedly turned his head and walked towards the martial arts training hall in the outer house. On the way, he met several servants, but he didn't see how respectful or intimate he was to him.

However, Xu Hao always kept a smile on his face. The interpersonal relationships in the big house were complicated, which was even worse than those in later companies. He should always pay attention to every word and action, otherwise everyone would be aware of the slightest movement.

The Xu family's martial arts training hall covers a considerable area, with four courtyards combined as large as a football field.

There are two rows of weapon racks in the center of the venue. The vast array of weapons are made of wood, and no one dares to put real swords and guns on it. Xu Hao has a lot of complaints about this, what can the function of practicing martial arts or not practicing real people?

On one side is an archery hall with several bows and arrows; on the other side is a spacious racecourse. At this moment, three or five servants chased their cousin Xu Wen, who was riding horses and showing off, and two instructors in blue warrior uniforms stood aside and chatted.

"Three, come and have a look." Xu Wen was 18 years old this year. He saw Xu Hao walking in alone and immediately shouted loudly.

Xu Hao smiled and shook his head, and stopped. Seeing this, Xu Wen rode his horse in a casual manner. The servants cheered and chased him behind. One of the youngest servants stuck out their tongues at Xu Hao in embarrassment, and quickly ran behind him and stood with his hands hanging down.

When facing the brown-red horse on his body, Xu Hao's head was slightly tilted back with some discomfort, and asked with a smile: "Where did it come from?"

"It's given by Grandpa II." Xu Wen rode proudly on the horse, holding the leather whip in one hand, and stroking the horse's neck with the other. "Doyanwei paid a hundred good horses, and the emperor rewarded the second grandpa five. Grandpa Buer praised me when he saw that I was good at martial arts."

"Well, BMW is given a hero. With this good horse, the elder brother will definitely complement each other, like a tiger with wings." Xu Hao was envious and smiled and complimented.

"I love hearing what you said, brother." Xu Wen was overjoyed and smiled, "Now I have it, and it is also raised on the snow. If you want to ride, just ride it, but you have to tell me in advance."

Xu Hao thought about it and declined with a smile: "My Xiaoqing is pretty good, my brother's kindness is appreciated."

Xu Wen sneered: "Your Xiaoqing is old and ugly. You can't walk ten miles away. Fortunately, you are still a treasure. Well, the second child always pesters me to ask for snow. Since you don't care, then just give it to him."

Xu Hao nodded distractedly, watched Yushu's cousin Xu Wen shout majesticly, and rode his horse and took a few servants away.

"The eldest young master is really nice. He obviously doesn't want to give you horse to Brother Hao. It's boring to use it for nothing." The servant who had not left muttered in disdain. He was thirteen or fourteen years old, with an ordinary appearance, and his eyes were very agile.

The servant's name is Lai Bao. His parents were both servants who came with Xu Hao's mother Xiao's dowry. They were genuine family children. They were a servant and a book boy for Xu Hao since they were young.

Xu Hao's mother, Xiao, comes from the famous local Xiao family in Jinling. After a century of devastation and war in the Yuanmeng, the entire Xiao family is far inferior to before, but it is one of the local big surnames.

That year, the Xu family first arrived. Old Mrs. Xu wanted to marry a local family, so she chose the daughter of the Xiao family. She originally thought that the daughter of the Xiao family was well-educated, but she gave her second son a warning as soon as she entered the door. She even obeyed her son's discipline in a few days, which disappointed Mrs. Xu, who had high hopes for her second son.

At that time, the Xiao family had already lost their family, and the servants who came with a dowry had only two houses, which was enough to compete with the Xu family, which was not a wealthy family. Therefore, Mrs. Xu could only choose to be patient with her daughter-in-law who was strong and upright.

Now that the stars are changing, although the Xiao clan is slowly recovering its vitality, how can it be compared with the Xu family, which is the first meritorious family? The power of Mrs. Xu is simply unstoppable. Xiao, the most aggressive among the three wives, can only bow down in front of her.

Xu Hao pretended not to hear the sowering mixed in Lai Bao's nagging, and watched Xu Wen go out of the martial arts training ground by the servants. The two coaches disappeared immediately. There was no one else except him and Lai Bao.

As she was doing exercise slowly, Xu Hao asked casually: "What happened at home recently? Tell me."

Lai Bao thought about it with a smile and said enviously: "Brother Wen got a good start for the horse. Be good, the old lady rewarded five taels of silver. Brother Ji was not convinced and valed in public to be admitted to the Imperial College. When the old lady was happy, she also rewarded him with two taels of silver to reward her ambition. The young master is not a young man and you have to show your face in front of the old lady from time to time, so that the master's wife and the people below us will be glorious."

Xu Hao continued to trot around the empty field without saying a word. Lai Bao chased behind with panting, saying, "Others don't know, young master, you are like a different person, and you are much more calm than before, that's right."

"What is it?" Xu Hao asked with a smile.

"That's it." Lai Bao gritted his teeth and shouted, "It's just that he is too calm, like an old man. Young master, you should be sharp at a young age, and you should fight for what you should fight for. When you should show, you should show off. Look at the eldest and third bedrooms, and then look at our second bedrooms. Everyone says that our second bedroom is in a state of depression."

"I think it's pretty good." Xu Hao said without stopping, without looking back.

"I, I can't do it anymore." Lai Bao ran with him for ten laps, finally stopped panting, leaned down and gasped. Although he had complaints about the young master's attitude, he was secretly talking about the young master's strong physical strength.

Xu Hao spent the whole morning in exercise until noon, and Qiu Xiang couldn't help but run out to find him.

Qiuxiang is a child from another family. In theory, she should be promised to Lai Bao when she grows up. However, Lai Bao is a little dislike Qiuxiang, who is still a yellow-haired girl. Of course, Qiuxiang, who is a close girl, naturally doesn't look down on Lai Bao either.

The two ignored each other, Qiuxiang slapped Xu Hao in the wind and muttered: "There was no sign of this morning. The lady called someone to ask me a few times. I dare not hide it. But you are practicing martial arts here and have not been dragged by Lai Bao to make trouble. The lady didn't say anything."

"Yes." Xu Hao's sweat was so cold that it felt very comfortable when she slapped her.

Qiuxiang continued excitedly: "Today, the old lady sent someone to pass on the message, saying that the whole family would go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, so she set off around the past two days."

Lai Bao couldn't help but say, "So what to say? Why do you pay tribute to Buddha for no reason?"

Qiuxiang shook her head and said, "I don't know, it seems that there is a happy event. When I came, I saw the girl Cuiyue, the third room, with a happy face."

Lai Bao clapped his hands and shouted, "Yes, I saw the third master beating outside and returning home yesterday. Everyone in front of him smiled happily. It should be the case."
