The most common things in the whole first month are visiting relatives and friends, meeting guests and banquets, and the same is true for the Xu family.

Every day, people send invitations and invites them to go to the table. Each of the Xu family has their own social circle. After eating and drinking from house to house, they have to arrange to invite them back, and they are having fun coming and going.

Although the servants are a little tired, the food is much more abundant than usual, and it can be said that there is meat and wine every meal. If you can't eat it, you will take it home to satisfy your children's cravings. In addition, you can receive some rewards, which is enough to offset the hard work in recent days.

As for troubles such as weddings and funerals, the elders would explain what they didn't want to go. Because the eldest brother Xu Wen could not come forward, Zhu Qiaoqiao entrusted Xu Hao to run errands, so that Xu Hao would have the opportunity to go out and wander around and relieve the boredom of staying at home for many days.

Although many people at home have gradually changed their attitude towards him, they are still the same on the surface. After all, Xu Hao is famous outside, and Zhu Qiaoqiao is in charge of his home inside. There is no such thing as being angry in Zhuyuan for a careless and intentional deduction.

Some people left one after another in Zhuyuan, three of the top ten guards said goodbye, and almost all of them were servants from the eldest and third bedrooms. This made Xu Hao understand one truth: the loyalty of having children is far higher than that of others, who made the contract for selling the body in your hands?

Of course, if there is no absolute, Zhulan and the other four people, as vested interests, would not leave even if they wanted to chase them out. However, there was someone from their family who came to persuade him, but Xu Hao ignored him. There was still some confidence, and it didn't matter if he left, it would be easy to get together and part.

Some people left and some people thought that they would come. Several aunts from the Xiao family ran here without any trouble. The aunts thought that since their nephews became commoners, the Mu family obviously would not agree to marry the princess, and the family was not in a good position.

It is better to set up Xiao Yushi's marriage as soon as possible. It is best to let Xiao Yuying be his wife and Yushi be his concubine. If it really doesn't work, it will be the other way around.

In addition, there are people who do not dislike Xu Hao to hire matchmakers to come to the house, or at banquets. The wives of each family asked Xiao what he meant. In the eyes of these wealthy but not expensive or not rich, no matter how unhealthy Xu Hao was, he was also a wealthy young master. After his daughter married, she would not only have no worries about food and clothing, but also be able to get along with the Xu family.

Compared to Xu Hao's hot sales, the marriage of the ladies of the Xu family is a bit embarrassing. The collapse of the Fu Wang family means that the Xu family may be the turn next.

Even if the Xu family is not implicated by the mansion, the most eye-catching Xu Hao lost power in the Xu family. Currently, the only official is the third master. He is still a seventh-rank county magistrate. He has a higher status than the Xu family, so naturally he is unwilling to take risks to marry the Xu family.

But the status of the Xu family is not as good as that of the Xu family, and the Wang family and Liu family look down on others. In this way, the Xu family did not make a deal together during several lively marriage conferences.

People live for face. Wherever the three wives go, they have been more or less stimulated and neglected compared to last year, even if it is the arrangement of seats. The order of reception and the order of speeches have changed slightly, which has made the already sensitive wives pay sensitive attention.

The wives were in a bad mood. The people below couldn't think of a good life. If they were not happy, the unlucky servants would be beaten. Affected by this, Xu Ji and Xu Song were forced to work hard and begged for their own efforts. High hopes were placed by their respective mothers.

Xu Wen was very unlucky. Even though Zhu Qiaoqiao was in a hurry, the news finally spread. The eldest son of the Xu family got sick of flowers and willows. It caused a lot of controversy for a while, becoming a laughing stock in the entire Xiaojia Village, and his reputation fell to the bottom.

Not to mention Xu Hao, it is a bad example of harming the country and the people, and being demoted to the common people, which is very satisfying. In this way, Xu Wen and Xu Hao became a negative example and became a negative example of the villagers when tutoring their children.

The bustling first month passed, and it was February early in the early spring. On this day, after Xu Hao rushed to two weddings and funerals, Li Qiu took him to the vicinity of Taohua Village and pointed to the endless fields in front of him.

"The young master is here. Eighty acres of paddy fields, one hundred acres of dry land, twenty acres of land around it, an orchard and the foundation of the farm, etc., a total of 10,000 taels of silver is required. What do you think?"

Unexpectedly, Xu Hao didn't take it to heart at all and said absent-mindedly: "It's settled, I'll leave this matter to you. The Yan Prince's Mansion has agreed to pay."

Li Qiu rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "Then will the whole farm be handed over to the younger one in the future?"

Xu Hao thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I can't live without you for the time being. In this way, let Qiuxiang and his wife take care of you. After you get married in the future, you will be in charge of this place. Qiuxiang and his wife will go to Peking."

"Come." Li Qiu nodded vigorously and then asked, "Why do the young master insist on purchasing land by himself? Our family now has more than ten hectares of land, so why should we waste money?"

Xu Hao smiled and said nothing. He turned over and walked slowly along the dirt road. Li Qiu naturally didn't know that he would have to settle down when he was kicked out of the family in the future.

Since Xu Hao lost the sanctioned envoy, Ouyang Lun was so scared that he delayed his return to Beijing. However, Comrade Zhu couldn't wait and issued an order to rush back immediately.

It was about to come again, and Xu Hao guessed that Duke Song Feng Sheng was about to be over, and Ouyang Lun's commander was about to end.

Therefore, Xu Hao was anxious to buy a land manor. Who knew what would happen in the past two years? Comrade Zhu seemed to be fierce, but after all, he was almost seventy years old. Once he was critically ill, he had to go to the palace quickly and take over the errand to death of his second grandfather, so as to rebel and go out of the monk.

The problem is that Xu Hao cannot go to Peking immediately. At least he must get married with Ningxue first, so he will have a new house, a new home and a new industry. Ningxue, who was a wife at that time, must not be willing to leave his mother and sister and brother, so he had to live in Jinling for a year and a half, and then he could set off to head north after getting used to the new life.

Xu Hao smiled bitterly, and Ningxue was unlucky to follow her because she had to betray her family. Then an unscrupulous couple ran away in shame, which would be too aggrieved for her.

With apologies, Xu Hao planned to build a new house for a long time. This time he did not plan to ask Zhu Qiaoqiao to supervise himself and hired the most famous craftsman in the capital to build the most unique new house.

In addition, Beijing will also secretly break ground and Zhu Gaoxu will supervise the construction of a mansion. This guy is going to build a palace, two houses, one big and one small, and all the money will be paid by Zhu Di and his wife.

Xu Hao killed Fu Youde and Wang Bi. Even if the emperor ordered it, for Zhu Di, Xu Hao undoubtedly added another glory to the credit book. With the support of his aunt Princess Yan, money is not a problem.

When Li Qiu came, he found out that it was not the industries of the Fu family and the Wang family, but a corrupt official. Otherwise, he would not agree to kill Xu Hao, which would be too dangerous.

After looking at the villagers in the village, they all looked nice and polite. Judging from the apparent houses, every household was basically able to live without any problems with their livelihood. Xu Hao decided to let his experienced manager take care of all the matters in the early stage and hire the merchants to discuss the harvest.

He was not going to hide it from his family. With the thousand acres of fertile land and several industries under the name of the Xu family, only 200 acres of land are no longer visible.

Even if someone cares, the money was paid by the Prince Yan's Mansion and Tian Qi was in his hands. Who would dare to talk too much Xu Hao would not hesitate to reward him with a few punches?

The village located in the middle of the village is not big, and there are four or five manors surrounding high walls. The land in the village is very flat, with three main rooms and six wing rooms. Like the nearby Taohua Village, mulberry trees and various fruit trees are planted in front, back, left and right.

When I came, I found that the village was very clean and the villagers were dressed neatly, so it was a rich village.

Xu Hao, who was used to bathing in the pool, was very satisfied with the environment here and asked casually: "Do you have hot springs?"

Li Qiu scratched his head and shook his head, "I don't know, wait for me to ask."

Xu Hao looked at the empty house in front of him and said, "Don't worry, where are the people living here?"

Li Qiu smiled and said, "Of course they are all gone."

"Oh!" Xu Hao nodded, thinking that he had to recruit soldiers secretly. He calculated in advance that his family would follow him, and then calculated the servants who would be with Ning Xue, who would be married to him. Well! There were not too many because of robbing the bride.

The full battle will not exceed fifty people, or even less than thirty people. In this way, Xu Hao repeatedly considered the number of people and how many houses he needed to build, and how much money he would need to spend on this.

Suddenly, there was movement outside. Xu Hao turned around and saw some people standing in front of the yard. Li Qiu walked up and asked, "Who is coming?"

A middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "Let's ask, what is your master's identity?"

Xu Hao laughed as soon as he heard this. The ancients said that he would choose neighbors to live in. It would be fine if he was the Jinyiwei, because most ordinary Jinyiwei must be innocent, and with the title of a polite envoy, it is certain that the neighbors and villagers would not agree to his move in. If they were attacked by the crowd, it would be troublesome.

Sure enough, Li Qiu said guiltily: "My son is a distant relative of the Duke of Wei, a serious scholar. He chose to settle here in order to get married."

The middle-aged man said with satisfaction: "Since he is a scholar after being a hero, there is nothing to say. This is Weijia Village, with famous people with simple customs and friendly neighbors. When your son comes, he will also invite him to visit each family. My master must be a bed to wait."

Xu Hao felt that this person spoke gracefully and his family background should be extraordinary. Li Qiu bowed and asked, "Do you dare to ask your master's surname?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "My old master's surname is Fang. He has not yet entered Beijing. The ones who came here were my young master and his wife, not locals."

The old man on the side said, "The Fang family is a famous scholarly family, and your son is blessed. My family is the long branch of Weijia Village. It's a pity that the master's family died of illness, leaving only the young grandmother to support the family business alone. The widow's family is inconvenient to meet outsiders. I'll ask your wife to come over and see her. Thank you."

Another old man said proudly: "My owner is the patriarch of the clan and is also the village chief. If you need it, even if you come over to say hello, the villagers in the village will not say anything."

In addition, several families reported their own homes, either from the local Wei family or from officials who came to Beijing from all over the country. The officials lived in the capital and sent several servants to take care of the land here.
