Whenever the house was closed, the family would be in chaos. Under the command of the housekeeper and the women in charge, they had to clean up inside and out.

Shu Erniang, who was hanging flower door, urged all bedding, table circumference, etc. to be removed and replaced with new ones.

Sixi hurriedly ordered the mothers in each class to lead the servants in the greenhouse and hold all kinds of flowers to clean the vases of Qianshou Hall, Yian Hall and other places. The women and girls swept the floor and wiped the tables, washed the dishes, cups and plates, cleaned the candlesticks and lamps, and the mothers cleaned the clothes, cleaned the bathhouses and toilets, and cleaned the courtyards. In short, they all had their own affairs.

Mu Ningxue was in charge of Daoxiangju, Qingwen and Shu Yue were helping around, and the managers outside wrote a post and gave money to receive the money. There were also all kinds of silver that the yard garden should be repaired, and the sister-in-law who listened to the poor line lined up to get the money.

Zhiqing and Xiangling Xiangxuan exchanged silver, rejected accounts, and wrote off orders, and registered one by one. Yuelan was in charge of the sisters-in-law in the kitchen in the house to collect money, receive various sea vegetables and fresh ingredients from all over the country; bamboo orchids took the keys to distribute rice, meat, oil, salt, and firewood for the New Year, etc., and the people believed that food was the most important thing, and the yard was filled with people.

According to the rules, Xiao Yushi paid the monthly wages that should have been paid on the first day of each month in advance. After a busy morning, each family signed and collected the documents, and then came to help with the birthdays of relatives and friends of each family in the first lunar month, marriage, childbirth, funeral, and other celebrations. She asked the family's teachers and guests to write them one by one, and prepared them in advance along with the gifts.

Qingwen also has to open a warehouse to distribute tea, wine, fruits, snacks, etc., so that the little girl can register and write it in the account.

The Xu family's relatives and friends were already shockingly large. From time to time, people went to Chuihuamen to tell someone about their marriages and funerals. Xu Hao has never liked to work hard on his wife, so Zhiqing and the others could only do their best to discuss the importance of each one. Xiao Yushi nodded in agreement, and then asked his wife's daughter-in-law's head's head's head's head's head's head's head's head's head's head's head's head's head's head's head's head's head's head's hand to Shu Erniang and Ye's wife, and then handed over to the foreign manager to collect. After the matter was finished, the bill was closed on a unified date.

As for the rewards received, all of them must be handed over to the accountant and assigned to the position of the person every month.

What is interesting is that when Zhu Qiaoqiao created the family rules, Xu Hao stipulated a signing system for supervision. Today, the sister-in-law who was in charge of the job had to take the form and first sign the corresponding internal manager, then sign the "aunt" in charge of the business, and finally sign the "aunt" on duty. After three people in a row, he did not need to report to Mu Ningxue as soon as possible, otherwise he would have to worry about everything and would be exhausted.

Xu Hao knew that the family was busy all over the past few days. When he got up early in the morning, the little girl served him to comb his hair and wash his face, and put on a white jade crown with his hair tied up; while Mu Ningxue was wearing a green-plated white silk short shirt and a water-red single silk shirt. She wore a big red brocade quilt and was sleeping soundly from her side.

Xu Hao bent down and kissed his wife lightly on her forehead, and whispered: "I'll leave."

Mu Ningxue slowly opened her eyes and said with a smile: "I have no conscience. Leave us to worry about labor, but you go alone to be free and easy."

Xu Hao laughed dryly and said, "The family is so troublesome. Besides, the relationship between favors during festivals has caused me a headache, so I might as well leave the city to hide for a few days. I went back to the village to stay for a few days, and I have not seen the villagers for many years. I am so weird thinking."

"Well! Go, I'm taking a nap for a while, I'm busy today." Mu Ningxue smiled sweetly and closed her eyes again.

In this way, Xu Hao returned to Xiaojia Village. He did not intend to disturb the Mei family and Xiao Yuying, as well as relatives such as the Xiao family and the Xue family. At this time, everyone was noisy and chose to stay in the Wei family at the west end of the village for a few days.

Yesterday I received news that Cui He fell into the water and disappeared. He had sent people to search along the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, but after so many days, the chance of surviving was very slim.

Although this matter has nothing to do with Xu Hao, if he had not appeared, Cui He would probably not have ended like this.

Xu Hao is not sentimental and will not be sad because of Cui He's accident, but now he needs to be alone for a few days, stay away from the hustle and make himself think about nothing.

Next door, a family named Wei lived from Weijia Village. The old man's surname was Wei Minghua. He lived by farming all his life. His wife Tao was very kind and raised two sons. The eldest son was Wei Da and the second son was Wei Er. When he grew up, he received thirty acres of land and gave them all to his parents to farm.

When Wei Hua was young, he owed a large amount of debt, so his family was very poor. He was a difficult household in Xiaojia Village. His houses were all thatched houses, so the two brothers went to farm for large households. This was very common in Jiangnan. In recent years, he paid back his debts one after another, and his family gradually gained some savings.

Wei Da married a daughter who was with him as his wife and was very filial to his parents. However, because Wei Er was the youngest son, his mother had been particularly fond of him since childhood and obeyed him in every way, and developed the habit of talking back.

Xu Hao likes to eat authentic farm dishes made by Dow. He comes to eat on time every day. The village has been very hospitable since ancient times. Besides, his ability to come to eat is a great honor for the Wei family.

Xu Hao instructed not to tell him about his affairs in the village, and the Wei family will naturally be happy to obey the orders.

At noon, Xu Hao tasted the salted fish in the yard with a delicious sauce, but unfortunately he had to endure the smell from the pigpen. It would be great if there were peppers and potatoes as ingredients. By the way, Zheng He's fleet has been out for two years, so why don't he plan to come back?

Wei Er squatted on the ground with a smile, drinking the tribute wine brought by Mr. Wei with Mr. Wei. At this time, Wei Da walked in and sat on the stool.

His wife brought the rice for a night, and Tao did not treat Xu Hao as an outsider, saying, "Erlang is old and has a daughter in the Shi family in Qian Village. I think she is very thrifty, she can plant rice, treadmill, pile up hemp, spinning, and spinning. She is also similar in age. I asked Lao Shun's wife to be a matchmaker and spend more than a dozen taels of silver betrothal gifts to be a wife for Erlang, which is enough to fulfill my wishes and your father."

Wei Da nodded quietly, agreed to tell his second brother about his wife, raised his glass and touched Xu Hao gently, and smiled and said, "After Brother Hao comes, our family will be blessed to try the wine, and it's a 100 taels of silver a pot."

Wei Hua scolded, "It's big or small, you can call it by the name? How many times have you said it and never changed it after repeated instruction."

Wei Da said: "I grew up with my bare butt together. What's wrong with my name? Brother Hao didn't even say anything."

"The Third Young Master is so polite, he is really a mess." Perhaps Mr. Wei himself didn't care. What should people in the village have to worry about? It's just a habitual lesson from his son.

At this time, Wei Er was unhappy and shouted to his mother: "Mom, what are your eyes? I often see the eldest daughter of the Shi family. She is numb, black and stupid, and she will never have a wife in her life. I don't want that crooked guy either."

Dow said angrily: "You don't want it if you know the truth, what do you want?"

Xu Hao filled the whole family with wine, shook it out, and took out two bottles from his side. Wei Hua and Wei Da's eyes lit up.

Wei Er said with anticipation: "I went to rent a Mi family the day before yesterday. There was a sister named Taohua, which was white and beautiful. I like her in my heart. I didn't say that yesterday when I entered the city, my wife beat her. She cried and wanted to seek death. I said to her: 'You have food and accommodation, and it's common to be beaten a few times occasionally, why do you think about seeking death?'. She cried and said to me: 'How can you know my hardship? The top is the head and bottom is the foot, either beating or scolding. The day before yesterday, the master smiled at me, and was seen by his wife. He was beaten and scolded until today. Do you think it's hard? How can you compare to your countryman and live a free life?'"

Xu Hao asked in a whisper: "Which family's surname is noble?"

Wei Er said: "The Jinshi family with the surname Wu. His family has thousands of hectares of fertile land nearby. People say they are one of the richest people in Jinling. However, the one who rents rice is his distant relative, and his surname is Wu."

Xu Hao nodded and said, "Oh, you continue to say."

Wei Er smiled and said, "I asked her if you have any good looks? She shouted what good looks? This time I must go out. Being monogamous in the countryside is better than being a servant in the city.

When I heard this, I said that I was about to find a city man as my wife. Are you willing to follow me? Seeing that there was no one around, Taohua whispered to me: You have to be kind, I will marry you. My wife is jealous of her good-looking and she is eager to sell her."

Dow immediately said, "How much money does that cost? It's too expensive for our family to afford it."

Wei Erxian glanced at Xu Hao intentionally or unintentionally, and raised his head and said, "She sold only twenty taels of silver. She was afraid that I had no money and secretly handed it to her private house. Five or six taels of silver a pack. She wanted to follow me so sincerely. She was not as good as your eldest daughter of the Shi family who had a betrothal gift? Anyway, I must ask her to be her wife."

Wei Hua pondered: "It's good, so you have to find a fortune teller to tell the fortune first, and see if it matches the eight characters. I'm afraid that they are from the city and cannot be used to living in the countryside."

Wei Er shouted, "Don't worry about it, give me twenty taels of silver, I'll ask Uncle Xue Er to help me out."

Since the third young master of the Xu family lived at home, the old couple and Mr. Wei and his wife were not worried about being cheated, so they gave him all the money in the family.

Xu Hao felt that the wedding and funerals of real people were so simple and casual, without so much red tape, and marrying a wife was just a few taels of silver. Although he had been in the Ming Dynasty for almost ten years, he had lived a life of no-nons and never got close to ordinary working people. I am ashamed!

The childhood friends in the village have basically started their families and started their own businesses. For example, Xue Wen and Jiaoyuan have been officials everywhere. Most of the people who should make a fortune have already made a fortune, and those who shouldn't make a fortune are still lazy to live.

Xu Hao was not ready to find anyone to reminisce about the past. While walking alone among the fields at night, Wei Erxiao trotted over with a smile on his face.

Xu Hao didn't wait for him to speak, and said happily: "Do you want me to accompany you to buy a wife? OK, come and call me tomorrow morning."

Seeing Wei Ergao running away happily, Xu Hao smiled helplessly. He couldn't be clean anywhere. He turned around very casually and went back to the house to sleep.

In order to help Wei Er, Xu Hao had a plan in his mind. If the other party asked for a price with a lot of money, he would vote for Wu Siwen to give him a message, and he would redeem the amount of money he could sell.

In the early morning, facing the cold and fresh air, Xu Hao and his group entered the city in a ox cart, arrived at the Wu family near Wu Siwen's house, and explained their purpose.

Fortunately, the headmaster was angry about the peach blossoms. He didn't care whether her husband was angry or not, and said to the housekeeper happily: "Since it is Wei Erlang, my tenant, I have to fulfill him. Just have a 60-liang tea gift, prepare some betrothal gifts, and get them home immediately."

Xu Hao thought to himself that women are really generous in this matter and save fourteen taels of silver without bargaining. So what else can I say?

Everyone took action separately. Wei Er sealed the silver ounces and happily went out to buy four-color betrothal gifts for peaches, dates, goose meat and tea. Xu Hao first arranged a carriage and asked Uncle Xue Er to go back and find a few relatives to pick up the bride.

He ordered Li Dong to go home to get a new piece of clothing and four sedan chairmen and a horse, and change the clothes for Wei Er. Peach blossoms inside also shaved their faces happily, wore a new pink dress, and bid farewell to his wife.

He hired eight blowjobs and thugs in a lively way, and carried the bride back to the village. In the sun, Wei Errong, who was riding on the horse, was radiant and waved his hand to signal to the villagers who heard the news. He was so full of horse hooves and people were in a happy mood!

Li Dong, who was last on the head, sneered: "Young Master, you returned to the village to hide from the world. Why would you have known that you had to do it? Today, the three or four Hou Bo Mansions in the city are all eagerly looking forward to you to congratulate you."
