Xu Hao had a question. According to his jealousy of cherishing gold, pretending to be sick is undoubtedly the best choice. This time he decided to go to the mansion to see what the old man would react then.

He has been out all day long recently and turned a blind eye to family affairs. Before he could go out, he was stopped by Zhulan and told him that today Xiao family invited the wife of the rich family in the village, including several aunts, and as many as dozens of wives and ladies from families to come to the banquet.

"The first month has passed, what guests are invited?"

Xu Hao was appointed by my mother to accompany the guests, but he had no choice but to stay. Outside, Dad Li arranged for his servants to play gongs and drums to greet him, and set up a flower shed in the garden to store colorful lanterns.

Xu Hao was sent out to welcome guests. After standing for a long time, the manager ran over and shouted, "Young Master, here you are here."

"Yeah." Xu Hao walked out a few steps and saw that the big sedan chair, which was first carried by four people, was welcomed into the side door, and then the sedan chair was carried by two people. On both sides of each sedan chair, there were two maids holding the sedan chair bar tightly, and behind them were eight small hats in blue and carrying four suitcases.

Even the local tyrants in later generations were not as grand as ordinary wealthy people in ancient times, and manpower was the most glorious capital.

Xu Hao raised his hand, and the servants played and watched the sedan chair continue to walk forward. When he arrived at the second gate, he stopped slowly. The maid raised the curtain and walked out an old lady in her fifties. Four or five noble ladies with pearls and jade heads and silks were all over the silk.

The smart servant whispered, "Young Master, that's the wife of Wang Qianhu's family."

"Oh. Oh, it's terrible." Xu Hao called out secretly.

Wang Qianhu is a first-class family in Xiaojia Village. He retired a few years ago. His eldest son inherited his father's position and worked as a hundred households. Recently, he heard that he was promoted to the deputy Qianhu.

He was thinking about things, but he was not interested in other people's women. The servants only recognized the old lady of the Wang family, and rushed to watch the beautiful women of the Wang family, just a few daughters-in-law and granddaughters, as well as prominent women in charge, etc.

At this time, Xiao took his daughter to the Yimen Gate inside. The old lady walked in with her own female family without looking sideways.

After that, many families came one after another. Li Qiu came over and said regretfully: "It's all my fault. I'm just busy with the farm. Young master, I'll go back and apologize with you."

Xu Hao said angrily: "It's all your fault. You'd have escaped if I had known it. But it was strange. Why didn't my mother say hello to me first this year?"

"Who said no?" Li Qiu was also confused and ordered to the servants: "Go and inquire. If our second wife loses face this year, no one can get it."

The servants immediately ran around. Xu Hao said with a funny look: "Just for the sake of face, it has become an annual repertoire."

It turned out that Xu Hao had just remembered that every year, the family had to perform several big dramas back and forth, and the three wives treated each other at the same time, secretly competing with each other, and it was up to whose guest was noble and decent.

The village is so big, with only a few well-known families, so the guests invited are the same. But after the Chinese New Year, it is impossible to hit people from the capital or all over the country. The only thing that mobilized the troops was just for an ordinary banquet? Obviously not worth it.

According to convention, families with military ranks generally choose to have a long house. Birds of a feather flock together. Most of the Xiao family are officials, so most civil servants and female relatives choose a second house. Rich families will go to the third house according to their own needs. Almost all merchant families are all merchant families.

Later, it gradually changed. The third uncle passed the juren, and the Xiao family later became a widow's family. Therefore, many civil servants and female family members chose the third bedroom, and the second bedroom ranked at the bottom for several consecutive years.

The same was true last year, and it seems that I have to continue this year. I have to sulk again.

No, Xu Hao said strangely: "Why did Mrs. Wang come here? Didn't you go to the wrong door?"

Li Qiu smiled and said, "It should be, who has made the current master lose his official position, his wife's family lose power, and the two young masters become relatives again. It is inevitable that the family will be neglected."

"You can't say that." Xu Hao disagreed with this, "My sister-in-law can get a million soldiers by herself, not to mention that there are three unmarried girls, so there will be no shortage of customers."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the servant say excitedly: "Young Master, look, Mrs. Yun from the former Minister of Personnel is here."

Xu Hao was surprised. The Yun family was the most noble in Xiaojia Village except the Xu family. He disdained to interact with his neighbors, but Mr. Yun died of illness the previous year.

"Hasn't the Yun family never moved around?" Xu Hao looked at him and saw a beautiful woman with a charming charm slowly walking out of the sedan chair.

Li Qiu said: "This should be the second wife, and the original wife also died of illness last year."

So that's it. Xu Hao understood that the master and his wife were gone. The concubine turned over and became the master. It was reasonable to go out for socializing in a loneliness, but why did he choose the second room?

Next, several female relatives from low-ranking civil and military officials came, including Mrs. Zhou Yuanwai, the richest man in the village. The servants who went to inquire about the news ran back one after another. The third wife of Xiyan's eldest son-in-law was not as lively as in previous years. Almost all the well-known men came here. Suddenly, the servants around were excited and shouted that the second wife would finally be proud this year.

Xu Hao said inexplicably: "Evil."

Li Qiu smiled ambiguously and said, "It must be for you, Master, I dare to promise you."

Xu Hao smiled and said, "I am a commoner, who cares about me?"

Li Qiu laughed and said, "What's wrong with the common people? Can the common people go to the palace to talk and eat with His Majesty? Young Master, who can match your current prestige in Xiaojia Village?"

Xu Hao was immediately amazed and cried, staring at Li Qiu, who was making trouble and said, "It was you and your grandfather who did a good thing, which spread the news. No wonder Dad Li laughed when he saw me just now."

At this moment, the eldest wife Wang and the third wife Liu were both secretly angry. The wife who had agreed to change her mind and went to the second room.

Even so, the wives who came over kept saying that they wanted to meet Xiao, and Wang simply killed his daughter-in-law to entertain the guests. She went back to the room in anger.

Liu simply brought all the guests to come with him. Xiao was overjoyed and hurriedly welcomed the people into the shed, and ordered the maids to add tables and chairs, and kept busy.

Xu Song sneaked out to find Xu Hao and shouted from a distance: "Brother, what have you been doing these days? Don't take me to play."

Xu Hao smiled and hugged his fourth brother, saying, "If you can come out, I will take you to the palace."

"Really?" Xu Song became excited.

"Really." Xu Hao was very pleased with Xu Song's changes, but the country was easy to change and his nature was difficult to change, so he wanted to lead Xu Song to the right path.

The two brothers talked and laughed. At this time, the sedan chair of the Xiao family finally arrived. Xu Hao and Xu Song went forward to greet the aunts.

Xiao Yuying, who was dressed up carefully, walked out slowly and looked at Xu Hao with a complicated expression.

Xu Song said enviously: "My cousin in the Xiao family is becoming more and more handsome, and she deserves the best beauty in Xiao family village."

Xu Hao's eyes were clear as usual, polite but not enthusiastic, nodded and said, "Hello cousin."

Xiao Yuying smiled and said softly: "Can you cousin accompany me for a walk? I haven't been here for a long time and I've become unfamiliar."

The men around were stunned and thought to themselves that they were already stunning, but after these heavy makeup, they became more and more beautiful. The young master was so lucky.

The young master who didn't want to understand the charm immediately refused and said, "I have something to do. Please do whatever I want to do."

Xiao Yuying stared at her cousin fiercely, turned around and walked towards the inner house. Xu Song said fussfully: "Brother, you are stupid! Don't even want the beauties you come to your door?"

"Not rare." Xu Hao raised his foot and was about to go out. At this moment, only Ningxue was thinking in his heart.

Suddenly someone shouted: "The wife of the Duke of the Prince Mu's Mansion has arrived."

Xu Hao was startled and said in surprise: "Why is the Mu family here?"

Then he saw more than a dozen sedans carried by four people lined up and came in a row. Xu Hao hurriedly walked to the leading sedan and said, "I have seen Mrs. Mu."

"Yeah. I won't call you godmother? I didn't see you coming to my house for a while. Could it be that I'm separated?" Mrs. Mu's voice came through the curtains.

Xu Hao smiled and said, "It's nothing. I'm still thinking about moving in, but I'm afraid you won't take me in."

"You have the nerve to come. I have the nerve to stay."

Mrs. Mu, who was interested, smiled and said, "Go! Da Xi is behind me, don't be with me, the old lady."

Xu Hao temporarily put down his doubts and strode to the back. All the men raised their heads and wanted to see Princess Yuning's style.

There are rumors in the world that the young master's crush on the princess is no less than that of the lady of the Xiao family. Many people disagree with this, especially those who have seen Xiao Yuying.

When Xu Wen got married, men stayed outside. So few people had seen Mu Ningxue at that time.

Xu Hao didn't think Ningxue was better than her cousin. He pursued others for some ulterior motives, of course, the premise was to amazed Ningxue's talent!

Well, Ningxue's pure and refined appearance is also one of the important reasons. There is no way. Who made Xu Hao an ordinary man? Such a beautiful woman with both talent and beauty, wouldn't she live in vain if she doesn't pursue her?

The two beauties in palace costumes came out of the sedan chair behind, Zhiyan and Zhiqing. The men were excited. Looking at the maid, you can tell how beautiful Princess Yuning is?

"snort!"

Zhiyan snorted at Xu Hao, raised her hand expressionlessly and slowly raised the curtain. Xu Hao was shocked. Do you want it to be so grand? Ningxue, what do you want to do?

Mu Ningxue inside glanced at someone lightly, Yingying stood up and walked out slowly. Xu Song, opposite, opened his mouth wide and said, "I finally know why the third brother doesn't care about my cousin anymore."

Today's Mu Ningxue has changed from the freshness and elegance of the past, and her whole body is rich and colorful! She is dressed in pink and jade-like makeup, and her hair is very particular about her hair. She has a pair of phoenix buns spreading her wings, with rare pearls and jade on it, and her phoenixes are inserted into her.

Wearing the princess outfit Xu Hao was about to beat the palace, everyone around him was stunned. Speaking of which, the big grandmother was so beautiful that she looked even more noble and proud in this outfit.

But this one is different. He has a big red and colorful flower-colored robe with a hundred birds on his body, a golden chariot with a golden jasper belt, and a colorful flower-colored skirt with four beasts. It is beautiful but not vulgar, and noble but not mediocre.
