In the study, Xu Hao looked at Xiangyu wiping the wound on Cui Liu's knees with distress. Under the stimulation of the red wound, the scene just now echoed in his mind.

At that time, the snowflakes were accompanied by the whistling and strong wind, and Cui Liu's wandering and helpless terror suddenly appeared deeply hurt his heart, and he immediately sneered and ordered a few words.

In Qianshoutang, Wang made up his mind to make a marriage, so she had already had enough of two relatives. Her daughter Xu Cuitao married the widow princess who died of her whole family. Apart from being a princess, her political status was gone.

The concubine's son Xu Hai married the daughter of a small family. The concubine's daughter Xu Cuiyun married the husband of a small family. Compared with the in-laws of two younger siblings, the families they interacted with were either rich or noble. How could they not envy? But she was obviously the daughter of a marquis and her two younger siblings were countrymen. After a long time, she could swallow this breath?

At this time, Mu Ningxue was not in a hurry. She ran around with Zhu Qiaoqiao outside, sweating profusely, just to get time for Cuiliu.

Seeing Wang's smile and nodding slowly, Mu Ningxue sighed, knowing that this matter was irreversible. Her husband's method of using would only be more intense and unscrupulous in the ending of knowing that his face-to-face opposition would only be ridiculed.

The old lady obviously hesitated, and her grandson did not come to object to Cuiliu as soon as possible, which seemed very unusual.

The atmosphere in the room was a little weird for a moment. Everyone in the second room knew that they should never congratulate at this moment, at least if someone nodded in agreement.

However, Xu Cuiyun has always been jealous of her sister's favored status at home. She is obviously not married but has not been criticized by thousands of people. Instead, her food, clothing and use are becoming more and more refined. She lives a casual lifestyle, and a meal is even worth the expenses of her family for three days.

Besides, what's wrong with marrying the Gui family? Compared to his cowardly husband, Xu Cuiyun really envies Cuiliu's good life. Guitang needs to be beautiful and talented. He now took the initiative to remove a mutton fat and a hundred blessing serial pendant from his body. He handed it to Mrs. Gui with both hands.

"This is something my sister often wears. I gave it to me on my birthday. I will give it to Brother Gui today. It is your only thing to be engaged."

Mrs. Gui hurriedly got up and took it with both hands, waved her hand to call her son over, and Gui Tang'er heard that she wanted to betroth the four lady who was charming and naturally beautiful, and she was extremely happy.

Mrs. Xia knew that Mrs. Gui's jewelry was almost done, and there was nothing she could do on her body. She smiled with kindness: "I have never received other people's gifts and will not reply. I will give the gift on behalf of Mrs. Gui. It is also a little bit of my wish for my niece."

After saying that, he took off a pair of pearl lotus from his head and handed it to Xu Cuiyun, "Send Ling Mei a reply." The meaning of this is naturally self-evident, and it is considered that the Xia family agreed to marry the two girls together.

Xiao, who knew his son, was no better than his mother, smiled reluctantly, and did not express anything, as did the others. The satisfied Mrs. Gui said goodbye with a smile when she saw that the time was almost over.

After seeing off the two wives and Guitang, Zhu Qiaoqiao and others couldn't wait to go to the study room. The person was not there. They immediately went straight to the plum blossom forest together. As soon as they entered the yard, they saw Xu Hao and Cui Liu sitting in the pavilion, enjoying the snow and cooking tea.

Xu Cuiliu's face was not panicked at all. He said, "I just picked some plum blossoms and snow. Come and taste them. What exactly is it?"

All the girls were not impatient. Since the brother and sister were interested in fighting the game, they all calmly suppressed all the mundane thoughts.

The plum blossoms are so energetic that the snow is crushed. The red plum trees are mixed with white plum trees, and the white snow feel more charming. The fragrance of tea is also mixed with the faint fragrance of plum blossoms.

"This is a kind of mo tea, obtained from Xiaotaoyuan, Anhui. It tastes great, but I have not tasted it yet." Xu Cuiliu personally boiled water on the bamboo stove and soaked the tea leaves. The color was slightly black. Everyone picked up the tea cup and tasted it carefully. The fragrance was indeed different.

Xu Cuitao said: "Qingzhu tea was fried. The teas from the ancients were fried. Now they are brewed. It is better to brew it than to cook it."

Zhong Kegu said: "The smell of fried food is fried. Su Shi made 'the fish eyes have passed the sound of crab eyes, and the tea cauldron has already made fly chirping'. There is probably a reason why tea brewed tea instead of fried tea. Even when tea was fried tea in the Tang and Song dynasties, the tea leaves should be good after all, otherwise there would be some differences in taste."

Yuan didn't understand tea ceremony very much and said, "I love Yunwu tea the most, and the tea leaves are as thin as hair and tastes fragrant and beautiful."

Zhong Kegu said: "The clouds and mist on the roof are originally expensive."

Mu Ningxue smiled and said, "Yunwu Tea comes from Anhui instead of the rooftop, but I am not sure about this detail."

Zhu Qiaoqiao secretly looked at Xu Hao's expression and said carelessly: "I'll drink the Fujian tea cakes that Hongye sent me."

Zhong Kegu immediately said, "Tea cakes also have charm. Dongpo's poem says, 'Take a small moon alone in the sky to try the second spring on earth', which shows that the ancients also used tea cakes."

Mu Ningxue said: "This refers to Pu'er tea. This tea is not good and is not worthy of the second spring. The second spring is in Huishan and I have eaten it several times. The first cold spring is in Zhenjiang. Last time, Hao'er's friend sent a few jars. It smelled very fragrant. Unfortunately, he gave birth to a little insect and he didn't let me eat it."

Zhong Kegu said, "That's called boxing insects. It's okay. Even Mingquan requires Chen Jiusheng to eat insects."

Xu Hao said, "That's still a bug that can be seen with the naked eye. There are hundreds of millions of invisible to the naked eye. Even if you drink live water, you have to check carefully, let alone the stagnant water that has been stored for several years? The disease comes from the mouth. Many people who have died suddenly due to sudden illness for no reason are probably because of eating dirty water or unclean food. Artistic elegance comes at a price."

Zhong Kegu was shocked and thought of his beliefs and debated, but Xu Hao was not in the mood and waved his hand and said, "Facts are better than words. Compared with the population mortality rates of our family and other families over the years, it is clear at a glance."

Zhong Kegu was stunned. It was rare that there were no cases of dying from illness at a young age at home. It was not that there were many cases of death from illness at a young age. Compared with other families, there were indeed much fewer ones. Many outsiders said that the Xu family’s feng shui was good.

Xu Hao didn't want to explain the common sense of hygiene such as regular disinfection, washing hands before meals, not drinking cold water, etc., which is well-known in Liaodong and in various new schools.

In addition to some deeply rooted living habits, ordinary people are easy to accept.

On the contrary, the more educated the people, the more stubbornly they insisted on the ancients saying that drinking tea is taken as an example. The water from the top ten famous springs is carefully stored for two or three years before drinking it. It will not cause insects and isn’t it seeking death?

In fact, the snow is not clean. Fortunately, there is no pollution in this era. It is okay to drink it once or twice a day when boiling. In fact, how the taste depends on the mood of the person at that time. When friends are together, the worst tea is also the best.

At this moment, Xu Hai hurried in and shouted: "Brother, the loyal Boru Gong was impeached by the Censor Chen Ying for not visiting the King of Gu for passing by Changsha and not visiting the ancestral system. Now the Jinyiwei has been locked in prison. The governor of Suzhou, Gu, was immediately dismissed from office. Miss Gu fainted after hearing the news, and there is still."

"What else, tell me quickly." Mu Ningxue was the first to ask. Gu Hongyun was still living at home. She couldn't go home to reunite during the New Year. Her sweetheart was also locked up in Shuntian Mansion. Unexpectedly, the lover's father was both imprisoned again.

Xu Hai sighed: "The master of the Gui family also violated the law that violated the ancestral system because he returned to Beijing with Mr. Ru. Now he is in prison. Mrs. Gui and his son who just returned were placed under house arrest. Regardless of whether Lord Gui is alive or dead, I heard that the whole family will be exiled to Hechi, Guangxi."

Everyone was shocked as soon as this statement came out, staring at Xu Hao in disbelief. Even if Mrs. Gui rashly said the words of proposing marriage, it would not make you angry and would not cause this prison, and it would implicate many innocent people, right?

Xu Hao said innocently: "You are too arrogant to me. I may instruct the censor to impeach the minister in a short time. Will the emperor be so obedient?"

The girls immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It was indeed unlikely, how long has it been? Unexpectedly, Xu Hao's words followed up made them stunned.

"But I did add the Gui family temporarily. Chen Ying had asked me what I meant. Guida was not on the list."

Zhu Qiaoqiao stared at him fiercely and said angrily: "Don't forget, that's my mother tribe, why are you so heartless? Besides, it's obviously a mistake for someone who is unintentional."

Xu Hao smiled sinisterly and said, "I don't care. Whoever gets engaged with Cuiliu in the future will be in trouble immediately. Although this is a despicable method that harms others and don't benefit themselves, who both want Cuiliu and me to like it very much, right?"

Everyone turned to Xu Cuiliu speechlessly. At this moment, the fourth girl of the Xu family smiled like a flower, just like a vixen who stole a hen!

Zhu Qiaoqiao asked viciously: "What the hell is going on?"

Xu Hao looked at her without saying anything. In fact, this matter was very simple. After the Jingnan Campaign, the court must hold high the banner of respecting the vassal kings in various places and slowly cut off the vassals bit by bit in secret.

This is the despicable side of politics. After demoting the rebellious King Qi to a commoner, the court concentrated on fighting against the Qin and Jin palaces where military power were held, and respected other vassal kings in public opinion to stabilize the hearts of the people.

Ru Wei was very unlucky and sent her son Ru Jian to be a son-in-law to build a princess's mansion in Chang'an. Before the New Year, the imperial court publicly blamed the Qin King Zhu Shangbing for being very arrogant when he saw the imperial envoy and arrested the officials of the royal palace. Zhu Shangbing was afraid that his life would be lost, so he took the initiative to go to Beijing to apologize and returned the three guards of the royal palace to the royal palace.

Zhu Shangbing was clearly Zhu Yunwen's best friend back then. His father's death was strange, but he was respectful in the battle of Jingnan. Zhu Gaochi remembered this, even if he was helping one side, no one would help. Obviously, there was a problem with being a human being. He scolded him very impolitely, and after returning to Chang'an, he was naturally under house arrest.

Who made Hong Xi rebel in the early years? Zhu Shangbing personally led his troops to suppress the local troops? The local soldiers were very obedient.

Ru Wei saw the intention of the court. His son was a ritual guest in the royal palace to monitor the Qin palace nearby. He heard that King Gu collected taxes and formed a clique for personal gain, so he was afraid of avoiding it. When he returned to Beijing, he deliberately did not visit Prince Gu's Mansion.

When he came back, Zhu Gaosui was ordered to go on a tour, and he was so clever that he did not see him off. Zhu Gaosui washed a sauna all night in Yongcui Tower, but was driven out in disguise by Zhu Gaochi and was punished. He was so angry that he had the intention of killing a chicken to warn the monkey like King Gu.

There were no three dukes in the Hongxi Dynasty. Ru Wei's actual status was equivalent to one of the three dukes. He was the leader of a legitimate civil servant. If he could be killed, his prestige would naturally increase greatly.

So Ru Wei first committed the crime of "not sending King Zhao" and was sent back to his hometown as soon as he returned to Beijing. Before he could set off, Chen Ying impeached him to "not visit King Gu", and the two crimes were punished one more.

Anyway, this is the case. Xu Hao doesn't understand political matters very much. He guessed this way. There are countless absurd and ridiculous things in history. The real cause and effect of countless historical events is hidden behind the scenes. You can't ask the parties involved, what are you thinking?

Ru Wei's incident had nothing to do with Xu Hao, but his brother-in-law Gu was promoted by him behind the scenes and took the opportunity to take the blame. As for Gui Da, who asked Mrs. Gui to find trouble for nothing?

Xu Hao is doing these unethical things now, and he feels no guilt at all, just like Xiangyu dissecting a living person to cure the disease and save the person.

What he is thinking about now is to consider how much Zhu Qiaoqiao reacts to this matter, if he is strongly dissatisfied and intervenes in anger.

Xu Hao would never tolerate the people around him who dared to provoke him. Princess Annan, Chen Yu, went to Beijing without permission. Even if he helped him in Shuntian Mansion, he sent someone back to Annan without mercy. He is still under house arrest.

Xu Hao even did not rule out the possibility that Chen Yu would be killed immediately after his son became the Lord of Annan. If a man does not have this cold heart and the courage to make a decision, then he should not attempt to reach the peak of power.

Who can guarantee that Chen Yu or Zhu Qiaoqiao, who is far away from men, will not be involved with other men due to various reasons such as loneliness? Then give birth to a son with others and start the Xu family version of the wealthy family.
