Xu Hao returned home with his worries and ordered Zhulan to go to the North Courtyard to inform his sister-in-law and let others go in response to foreign affairs in the future.

Zhu Qiaoqiao was puzzled by this, but fortunately, after being diagnosed by a famous doctor in the capital, Xu Wen's condition gradually improved, and it was not a big deal when he went out for a social event.

Xu Hao had no choice. Since he was suspicious of the mansion, Shi Feng and his subordinates who lived nearby to protect him obviously could not trust him because they knew his whereabouts very well.

Affected by this, many secret things cannot be done. If the external contacts are discovered, his life will be in danger. As for Mu Xi, who can compete with Shi Feng, he has no choice but to make sure that he will secretly hate him because he has cut off his finger.

The only person who can contact the Yan Palace is the only one who can contact. This matter is not a secret. Both Zhu Yuanzhang and the mansion know this well, but Xu Hao cannot express his doubts.

Fortunately, no matter how clever Xu Da made up his mind, on the day of Zhu Yuanzhang's death, he had to have a prince who inherited the throne in the capital, otherwise he would still be cheaper for the crown prince Zhu Yunwen. If the prince wanted to leave the fief, he had to obtain the emperor's permission several months in advance, and the possibility of leaving the fiefdom privately was slim.

Xu Hao's expression moved and he thought to himself why he forgot Zhu Yunwen, who is known as benevolence and righteousness? It is undoubtedly the most certain to support him as the emperor, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang died without realizing it.

Xu Hao was a little confused. What's the point of killing Zhu Yuanzhang like this? Just to be unwilling to accept it? Taking such a big risk, it would be better to do what Xu Da did to commit suicide and I am everyone.

Maybe I am worrying about it. Faced with the confusing and complex situation that I had come up with, Xu Hao decided to respond to changes for the time being.

"It's the spring of April, and the grass grows and the beards fly to the spring."

In the past month, nothing major happened to the court. All the world was quiet. Only Mu Chun, who was far away in Yunnan, led his troops to quell the rebellion and was praised by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Weijia Village is very lively. After Jiang Song married his wife, he became thin every night, and the weather became warmer and warmer, so his clothes became thicker and thicker. Cui was indeed not a good-for-easy lamp. He quarreled with Chuner all day long. In the end, Jiang Song pampered his wife and was not capable enough, so he sold Chuner to the Lehu family and became a prostitute.

There were endless families who came to propose marriage. Countless wealthy families around had long coveted Xiao Yuying's beauty. Some of the capital's nobles and foreign merchants came here to visit, all wanting to take the first beauty in Xiaojia Village as their favorite concubine.

The Xiao family has chosen many choices. Due to pressure from the Xu family, they finally received 5,000 taels of treasure money and generous gifts from a wealthy businessman in Hangzhou. They began to prepare their dowry and waited to marry Xiao Yuying away from another place on June 16th.

In the bamboo garden, Xiao Yuying was wearing a brand new red silk Hunan dress, and she was full of energy and dazzling spirit. She was quite satisfied with this marriage. It is said that she was the wife when she married her, and the only son of a salt merchant in Hangzhou, who was just twenty years old this year. She came to the Xu family today to say goodbye to her sisters.

The girls of the Xu family gathered together, and the weather was good, so they went out to play together. After some renovation of the garden, many buildings were added everywhere. Xu Hao was pulled out by the red leaves, and the parade was surrounded by green bamboos, and the three of them walked at the end.

When passing Sishui Bridge, Xiao Yuying pointed to the various phoenix flowers everywhere nearby and said, "In the future, when everyone thinks of me, I will look at this flower. I have always loved it alone."

Among all, the one who feels the deepest is Xiao Yushi. Although it is certainly gratifying to have a happy home for my cousin, but what about myself? It is a lonely ghost, and it is so sad to think about it.

Therefore, Xiao Yushi was abnormal and took the initiative to say, "I will go down and pick a big red flower, which is a little bit of my wish to be my sister."

Without a maid accompanying her, Xiao Yushi slowly walked down the slope with her skirt, chose the largest and most reddish flower not far away, carefully avoided the vines in the grass, and walked over step by step.

Suddenly, the red flower was automatically blown towards Xiao Yushi, and she almost fell down with a roar.

Everyone hurriedly looked at it and it turned out to be a beautiful large vermilion butterfly, which was a pity for everyone. But the butterfly circled around, rising and falling, causing the maids to hold a round fan, some carrying silk scarves to remove the silk, and some tiptoe forward to catch it with their hands.

After fighting for a while, the vermilion butterfly flapped its wings and flew towards the distance, and the little girls also chased after him with laughter.

Xu Cuiyun looked at their carefree appearance and sighed: "I am old this year and there is not much time for my sisters to be together, so it is sad to think about it. It's a pity that Cuiliu and I can't even live in the garden. It's so boring."

Xu Cuitao looked at Xu Hao, who was coaxing Lu Zhu in the distance, and said, "How many times have you told you? Go and beg him! If he told his ancestors, can the wife still stop him?"

Xu Cuiliu missed Yashe on the mountain, looked at the pavilion on the top of the hill from afar, and said, "How dare we ask for help in private? The wife knew that she was not there, and she was scolded again."

Xu Cuitao said speechlessly: "Look at your timid and conscious personality. Look at your elder sister and Hongye, they are really on the earth and on the sky."

Xu Cuiyun lowered her head and said, "I have a good brother, who told me that we don't have one?"

Xiao Yuying, who was on the other side, came over and advised, "Okay, okay, listen to my advice. At least don't imitate me and keep everything in my heart. As a result, I regretted it after the matter was final. It would be useless to try to remedy it. Why don't you say it directly? Could it be that he is not your brother?"

"Well said." Xu Cuitao's eyes circulated and she smiled: "It seems that Sister Yuying has something to ask him, and you two, tell me your worries quickly. Don't lose the opportunity, but I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"You are still smart." Xiao Yuying smiled softly and walked towards the distance first. Everyone intentionally accompanied her, so they naturally followed her.

Walk along the gravel road to a rockery with mountains and mountains. There is a newly built and exquisite courtyard in front of it. The pink walls are covered with green plants, and the surrounding flowers are covered with flowers all over the mountains. The flowers are blooming in all colors, and the rich fragrance of flowers comes with the breeze.

Xiao Yuying exclaimed: "If I could live here for a few days, I would be willing to die."

Seeing this, Xu Qinglian signaled her brother to speak. Unexpectedly, Xu Hao had no reaction and walked over with Lu Zhu's little hand.

Xiao Yuying suddenly looked gloomy, and Xu Cuitao couldn't help but say, "I'm so cruel. Seeing that her cousin was about to marry far away, she was not even satisfied with her final wish."

"It's okay." Xiao Yuying smiled and said, "It is said that there is a very big garden there. I just want my cousin to visit me occasionally in Jiangnan. I have no other thoughts."

Hongye Xiaoshi, who was walking in front, asked, "Why don't you keep her for a few days? She lives in her. We live in ours, and we have nothing to do with it."

Xu Hao said meaningfully: "I've been engaged, what else can I miss you? I directly rejected her, which is good to everyone. It's the most unfair to do, and it often causes countless troubles."

Lu Zhu blinked and didn't say anything, holding Xu Hao's hand tighter.

"Oh." Hongye followed his brother into the yard with no idea, and maids such as Zhulan Musk Yue also followed him in.

The girls here stopped and admired the sea of ​​flowers. After looking for a while, they found a stone bench to sit down. Qingwen and Xiangyu brought tea to the yard.

Xiao Yuying took it and looked down. He saw that there was a Jihong carved lacquer and a Hehuan bell made from an official kiln, and a colorful green dragon tea boat from the imperial court. He was shocked. He thought that the Xu family was indeed getting richer and richer, and he took out the tea sets specially used by the royal family. If he had known this day, he would not have been merciless to the prince of the Qin King.

Not to mention Xiao Yuying secretly regrets, after all, the salt merchants in the early Ming Dynasty were far from being rich later than the country, even the Jiangnan gardens she mentioned were far from being compared with ordinary officials, let alone the Xu family. If a little overtake of the merchant's family is to die, it can be called the mansion. Only the fourth-rank officials and nobles and royal families are the only ones who can be called the residence.

After eating the tea, a little girl came to take away the tea set. When everyone entered the yard, everyone's eyes lit up. They saw four extremely unique and beautiful large flower stands in the yard, which embellished the entire yard like a flower room.

They are all very special and precious ornamental plants, all from Yunnan and overseas tribute, and were carefully cultivated by palace craftsmen after years of careful cultivation.

Xu Hao was in vain for the red leaves. He opened his mouth to ask for beauty Zhang. A type called Zhu Yun is like ivory, with a dry color, bright and smooth, and a vermilion bamboo leaves, sparse and evenly dense.

One is called Danxing, with flowers like dandan, and shaped like peaches, with sweet fragrance and refreshing; the other is called Mandarin duck chrysanthemum, with branches and leaves sparse, with two flowers on each stem, one or pink and purple; one is green and yellow, one or red, one or white, and one or two flowers on the stem, with different colors, hence the name Mandarin duck chrysanthemum.

The flower on the last flower stand is called Butterfly Plum, which is most precious. Zhu Yuanzhang loved it very much and regarded it as a treasure. Xu Hao finally got it. But he saw the twisted branches bent and the flowers bloomed red and turned pale red, from red to white, and then gradually bloomed and gradually red, shaped like a butterfly, with two large long petals on both sides, two small round petals, like butterfly wings, and one narrow long petal in the middle like a butterfly belly. The flowers in his heart must have two long ones. Outside the big petals, it looks like a butterfly. When it blooms, countless butterflies linger among the flowers. Looking from afar, it is very wonderful.

Xu Cuitao looked around and said in surprise: "Who got this? It's unique."

Hongye sat on the swing wrapped around flowers and swayed around, and said proudly: "Of course it's me. I think the bamboo garden is too deserted and want to move here."

Xu Cuitao stepped forward and begged, "Good sister, I'll give me some reward here. You and my elder sister will return to Tianxiang Pavilion and let Cuiyun Cuiliu move back to Peony Pavilion. How about it?"

Now Hongye has a broad vision and no trace of a woman's stinginess. She smiled and said, "It's OK, but my second sister has to ask her to go. As long as they come back, I will give it to you."

"A word is determined." Xu Cuitao, unable to wait, hurried away with his maid.

Xu Cuiyun said with gratitude: "Thank you for the red leaves." Xu Cuiliu said happily: "Now, I can go back to my plum garden again. When it snows in winter, please go over and cook tea as a reward."

Suddenly, Lu Zhu, who had been silent, pulled Xu Hao and shouted: "I like bamboo, I want to live in the bamboo garden."
