The snow was everywhere, and Xu Hao rode his horse alone to catch up with the convoy in front of him, and immediately alarmed several guards riding horses. After seeing clearly that the person was Xu Hao, he did not stop him.

Xu Hao slowed down and gradually approached a carriage in the middle. The beauty was so close to her, but she didn't know what to say for a while, so she just walked with her side.

As he walked, the curtain on the carriage was lifted up, revealing Zhiyan's pretty face, and asked, "Honor Xu is following us specifically?"

Xu Hao raised his hand and wiped the snowflakes on his face, shook his head and said, "I was about to return home, but I didn't expect to meet you."

Zhiyan tilted her head and asked again, "Is there anything I have to say?"

Xu Hao thought for a while and smiled bitterly: "I have a lot of things I want to say, but I can't even say them. By the way, will your girl still treat Xu as a friend?"

"My girl has no friends of the opposite sex." Zhiyan smiled softly, "I'm sorry, please come back!"

Xu Hao sighed. It seemed that the fate between him and Mu Ningxue was about to end. He was not a person who was dragging on the mud. Since the beauty had no intention, don’t continue to get entangled. In fact, even if she wanted to entangle, she wouldn’t have that chance.

Suddenly, three young men riding horses came forward, one of whom was Mu Sheng, and the other two Xu Hao didn't know him, so Xu Hao nodded at Mu Sheng.

Mu Sheng tied the reins and said, "I advise you to give up. This is Zhan Yu, the eldest son of the Minister of Personnel, and this is Yu Manting, the young marquis of the Yuezhihou family. They are also the first-class young man in the capital. What kind of virtue is you, Xu Hao, and you want to marry my sister?"

Mu Sheng meant that Xu Hao would give up when he was in trouble. Xu Hao, who didn't want to give up almost, was aroused by this and said calmly: "I like Ningxue not because of her identity. Similarly, if Ningxue favors me, it is not because of my background. Mu Sheng, you don't have to use these two to suppress me. Ningxue has the right to choose her husband on his own. I will never give up until the dust finally falls."

Mu Sheng smiled and said, "Then you just wait. My sister still has nearly three years of mourning period. Don't lose all the money and become a laughing stock."

Xu Hao smiled and asked with interest: "What about these two people? Aren't they going to wait together?"

Zhan Yu said coldly: "Unfortunately, my mother died of illness last year, so I can afford to wait."

Yu Manting looked a little strange and said lightly: "My father was busy with business in Jiannan and had no time to take care of his children's marriage within a few years, so he would disappoint Brother Xu."

Xu Hao nodded understandingly and smiled, "Since that's the case, I've said goodbye."

"Slow down." Mu Sheng asked curiously: "You were moved by my sister's beauty once. If my girl looks ordinary, would you still be so stubborn?"

Xu Hao was stunned. This question undoubtedly hit his weakness. Thinking about it carefully, he was indeed moved by Mu Ningxue's unparalleled appearance, and later was impressed by her talent. Later, when he learned about her identity, he pursued her with great fanfare for the sake of interests.

At this moment, he could make a quibble, but Xu Hao didn't say a word, which was accusation. Seeing this, Mu Sheng smiled silently, turned his horse's head and continued to move forward. Zhan Yu's expression was pity, and he politely clasped his fists to Xu Hao for farewell.

Yu Manting couldn't help but laugh and said, "I have seen so many people like you. They are all coveting the status of the Mu family in order to get both people and money. But you are the most honest one, haha!"

Xu Hao was speechless about this, and no matter how he explained it, he would look pale and powerless, and he would be bored! He watched the convoy gradually fade away in silence, and said helplessly: "If you really want to have both people and money, I might as well pursue the daughter of the old Zhu family. Why bother!"

This blow will not have any impact on Xu Hao. After all, he was a man of two lives and had a mature enough mentality to face these love affairs.

After returning to his home, Xu Hao first asked about the trivial matters at home. Wang Fu said that a household at the entrance of the village caught fire in the middle of the night last night. Fortunately, he noticed that no one was injured in time and burned a house. It has been heavy snow for several days, and the inner court may have crushed the houses, so he asked the wealthy families in the village to send some people to help the widowed people clean up the snow.

Xu Hao said: "According to the customary practice, give some silver, rice, flour, wood and other things. If it is too cold, the house will be repaired as soon as possible. Let the second housekeeper gather all the men, bring tools to follow the instructions of the village chief, prepare wine and meat at home, and reward them when they come back."

Wang Fu nodded with a smile and said, "The master wrote to him that the court was about to use troops to the north soon and that the military affairs were busy, and he could not go home. The master was determined to delay the marriage date for a while, but he was scolded by the master. He would send someone to take the eldest master back to get the marriage after a few days. The letter said that there was only Brother Hao in the family these days, thank you for your hard work. I told you to go to the Qin Palace a few times. If you have any requests there, you must agree. Even if you borrow money from your colleagues, you must handle the marriage perfectly."

"I understand." Xu Hao felt something was wrong. He always felt that there was something he couldn't remember. It seemed that as Xu Huizu said, his news was too closed. In the future, he really had to look at the trends of the court, and maybe he could remember something.

In addition, there are a few favors, and the inner wife will take care of the favors they give to. In addition, there are a few small matters in the village, most of which are disputes between neighbors and disputes between villagers. They have been dealt with by the managers and the elders of the village. Xu Hao listened carefully to the whole cause and effect, and the handling result was very fair. As the saying goes, it is difficult for a clean official to settle family affairs, so the disputes between home and houses should be as important as possible.

As for the dirty and trivial matters between the servants of the Xu family, his mother took care of them. Xu Hao didn't ask much. It was getting late at this time, so he got up and went into the inner house.

At Fushouju, the sisters gathered around the old lady and talked about what they saw last night, and they were talking lively. Zhulan and Yuelan stood outside and whispered. Seeing him coming in, Zhulan stepped forward to serve with a smile.

Zhulan and Qiuxiang are both big girls who entered the mansion in the same group, and it has been about seven or eight years. At first, Zhulan was a little embarrassed after being assigned to Xu Hao, but after a few days, she lost her discomfort. After all, everyone grew up together.

Zhulan turned around with Xu Hao's coat taken off. Yuelan came over and smiled and said, "Just said just now that the wife's family wanted you to be a son-in-law. The old lady interrogated the lady's appearance. The young lady said she was very good-looking and had a good temperament. What do you think?"

Xu Hao had already thought about this and immediately chuckled: "I think it's good too. My second brother is not married yet, and he is just right."

Yuelan smiled and said, "We guessed that you would definitely say that, and it really hit it. Haha! The old lady also meant this, but I don't know what the wife thought, why should she look far and far away."

"Is there any need to say it?" Xu Hao and Yuelan looked at each other and knew that there must be some reasons why Wang was not easy to say.

When the old lady saw Xu Hao coming in, she hurriedly asked, "I said I've come back in front of me, but I didn't see anyone coming in. I sent someone to ask if I was taking care of serious things and I could have a meal?"

Xu Hao patted his hungry belly and smiled bitterly: "No, it seems that he didn't eat a bite of food all day."

"That's great. How do those bastards do things? You're hungry for a day, that's outrageous." The old lady was so distressed that she immediately ordered the meal and ordered Yuelan to go to the kitchen to order a few more dishes that Xu Hao likes on weekdays, and prepare them as soon as possible and deliver them.

Yuelan agreed to Yingying go out. When Xu Hao saw that Wang and Cui Tao were not there, he asked, "Auntie and the others have not come back?"

Xu Qinglian pointed to her side and asked her brother to sit down, and said, "When I left, the aunt said she would stay for a few more days."

The temperature in the room was suitable to make people feel warm all over. Xu Hao sat comfortably on the chair. Chunyue came over with a cup of hot tea and two plates of snacks, "Eat it while it's hot, and keep your stomach."

Xu Hao glanced at Hongye who was excited to speak and Xiao Yushi, who was sitting quietly beside her, reached out and took it on the coffee table beside her, picked up a piece of mung bean cake and took it, and said in a speechless manner: "Don't you come here to greet me today?"

Xu Qinglian looked around and whispered: "Aunt San was a little unhappy and became sick when he got home. My mother went to visit her after hearing the news, but she never came here."

"So what's wrong?" Xu Hao frowned. Has this Liu's menopause recently?

Xu Qinglian didn't continue to say it, but Chunyue quietly said: "When Xizhu came to report the matter, I asked her privately. She secretly told me that people from the north told me that Mei Lan and Ju Lan had become the third master's roommates, and the third wife was ill."

Before Chunyue finished speaking, Xu Qinglian scolded: "Don't say it anymore. Let me know that you are circulating these private words behind your back, so I will definitely forgive you."

Seeing this, Chunyue stuck out her tongue and stood on the side in a regular manner. Xu Hao thought that the third uncle was still so romantic at the age of one hand. Mei Lan and Ju Lan were about the same age as him. When they were pregnant, they had to call him "sister". It was awkward to think about it. With the three concubines and one wife in the house, the family would be lively again in the future.

After dinner, they talked with the old lady and had fun for a long time before they came out together. The maids held their ladies with lanterns and followed them back to the garden and separated.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Qiuxiang and Yi lying on the side of the bed. Xu Hao walked over and pushed it with his hands. Qiuxiang was awakened and was about to turn over and rise up.

"You keep lying down." Xu Hao was shocked and reached out to feel Qiu Xiang's forehead, "It's so hot, have you ever found a doctor?"

Qiuxiang shook her head slowly and said, "Don't look for a doctor. If someone else knows, I have to move out of the garden to live. I don't want to make gossip about it when I go in and out."

Xu Hao said: "Whoever likes to gossip, just go and say it. If I protect you, what are you afraid of?"

Qiuxiang's face was flushed and sickly, she shook her head and didn't say anything. Xu Hao couldn't twist her. At this moment, Qingwen suddenly hit her outside and sneered: "Young master, don't pretend. As girls, we don't have the life to hire a doctor. If you can ask for a few bowls of medicine to save your life, you will be content."
