There is a very inconspicuous Tofu Lane near the Qinhuai River. In the alley, there is a house where Lord Zhao lived when he was a Hanlin. Because Lord Zhao became rich later, he returned the house to his father-in-law Liu.

Mr. Liu was the most prestigious son of the Jiangnan Shilin. He served as a civil servant in the previous dynasty for half his life. After the Ming Dynasty, he lived in seclusion at home and devoted himself to his works. Later, he was recommended by the minister Ru Yi at the age of 73 and entered the court with "written application" and served as a Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy for a long time.

Lord Liu was respected as one of the three elders of the court. He became an official in the 18th year of Hongwu. Now he is 83 years old in the 28th year of Hongwu. The old horse is still full of energy and has a huge reputation both inside and outside the court and the country.

There are two small cottages on the street, with a gateway in the middle, and a small courtyard inside; behind the second door, there are small screen walls, and after passing by are three halls and two west wings and an east kitchen. There is a small garden behind the room, which is complete with all the organs.

This was purchased by Mr. Liu when he first entered Beijing. Later, he gave it to his son-in-law, Mr. Zhao and his wife for a few years. Now that the Liu family has bought half of the street, the house has been rented by Princess Lin'an who has returned to Beijing in a low-key manner.

On the same day, Xu Hao went to the inn nearby to stay in the inn and instructed Shi Feng to attack Xu Wen before dawn. At that time, Shi Feng agreed without hesitation and accompanied Xu Hao into Beijing after succeeding. Xu Hao thought about it and chose to come over to surrender to Princess Lin'an.

The reason why Princess Lin'an was able to return to Beijing was Xu Hao's contribution. In addition, like the stern scholar, he was consciously a fallen man in the world, so he immediately took him in.

The pursuers of the Xu family returned in vain. The so-called "large" hidden in the city, and a capital with a population of millions is equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack.

Xu Hao lived in an empty house in the front yard. He didn't want to disturb the widow princess who was not well-off. He asked some neighbors around to help clean it, went out to buy a gum and a mahogany wardrobe, an 80% new red painted eight-immortal table and two carved chairs; in addition, there were pots, pans, cooks, brooms, bedding and other miscellaneous items. He hired a few idle men to carry it back.

The ancients said that Junzi was away from the kitchen, and the annoying Xu Hao was about to build a kitchen, but the princess persuaded him to go over and have dinner together.

The Lin'an Princess naturally had many relatives, but her husband's family was defeated and she was unwilling to have any contact with her relatives as a widow. The Li family was few and outrageous. It is a pity that the three tribes of Li Shanchang were barred and there was no distant relative in the capital.

Therefore, the princess and her family of four welcomed Xu Hao, a rare guest, and Xu Hao was both royal relatives. There was nothing to hide from each other.

On that day, Xu Hao called Zhu Yuanzhang a grandfather, so he simply called the princess an aunt. Because he ranked first among the aunts and sisters, he was embarrassed to call him aunt.

The princess has the eldest son Li Fang and the second son Li Mao and the youngest daughter with the nickname Xiaocao. It is probably because the Li family suddenly fell down. The old prince-in-law Li Qi hopes that her daughter can be as unafraid of people rolling her eyes and grow up tenaciously like wild grass.

Xu Hao liked the innocent and cute little grass very much at the age of six, so he named her Li Meng. After hearing this, the princess felt that it was good, so she settled down.

Xu Hao hides in the Princess's Mansion very safely. No one has the courage to cause trouble. As long as he is not afraid of the nine clans being killed, even Shi Feng dares to come over.

More than 20 people in the Li family lived on two salary from Princess Lin'an, one was the thousand stones of grain produced by the imperial village in a year, and the other was the 200 stakes of treasure money issued by the clan's mansion every month.

Apart from the numerous relationships and daily expenses between the royal family, there is not much left in a year. Therefore, Princess Lin'an lives very cheaply, and her two sons are about to grow up, so she has to save money to tell her about her wife for her brothers.

Xu Hao doesn't like Li Fang, the 17-year-old boss this year. Maybe he enjoyed luxury when he was a child, but the noble young master's habits remained unchanged. If his mother had not been strict with her, she would have been a group of rich slaves and caused trouble.

The second son, Li Maoze, is as famous as his name, is very polite. He is 14 years old this year. When something happened to his family, he was still young. He grew up in an environment where his family was ruined. He was sensible and loved to study since he was a child, and his mother had high expectations.

Xu Hao learned from Shi Feng that his parents and the eldest son moved to Weijia Village to settle down, and his sister-in-law was locked up, and knew that it was time to fight back.

On this day, Princess Lin'an said sadly: "Why did the second brother die of illness? It's really unexpected."

In the room, Xu Hao took out the new clothes in the package and handed them to the little maid. Hearing this, he said, "I heard that the King of Qin sent troops to quell the rebellion. After returning from victory, he fell ill and died of an acute illness."

Princess Lin'an sighed, "My younger brothers have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and they have always had good health and rarely get sick. Alas! I didn't expect that the prince went to middle age because of illness. The second brother is the same. The father must be very sad and sad. I really want to go to the palace to visit him and take the children there by the way."

At this time, Li Meng was wearing a grape-colored wool shirt, light goose yellow, and walked over with a smile. Xu Hao's eyes lit up and praised: "It's so beautiful."

After saying that, he took out two horizontal hairpins with gold and jade from his arms, with pearls embedded on them, and waved to Li Meng.

"Is it for me?" Li Meng smiled sweetly, looking expectant.

"There is also a new set of clothes and two hairpins that belong to you."

Xu Hao laughed, and took Li Meng's long black hair with her hands and clamped her hairpin horizontally. When Li Meng smiled, her eyes turned into crescent moons, and two dimples appeared.

Seeing this, Princess Lin'an said helplessly: "I spent money indiscriminately, and Xiaocao's clothes were too much to fit."

Xu Hao smiled and said, "Then I'll buy the best wardrobe and come back."

"You spoiled her so much. I can't afford to keep this. I'd just give it to you." Princess Lin'an shook her head, helpless.

Xu Hao picked up the cute heartbreaking little girl and smiled and said, "Auntie, let's make up for it, and the girl will belong to me in the future."

Princess Lin'an said in surprise: "Just tell me, are you really good? You are still a child who spends money."

"So what? I promise to raise Xiaocao so white and fat." Xu Hao raised Li Meng with both hands, making the girl giggle, "Xiaocao, would you like to live with me?"

Li Meng said sweetly: "No, I want to accompany my mother."

Princess Lin'an immediately covered her mouth with satisfaction and chuckled, while Xu Hao smacked her lips and said, "I bought you so many good things for you in vain. They all say that girls are extroverts, but you are different."

Li Meng blinked her delicate eyes and said persistently: "I want to accompany my mother, but I like you too."

"It's enough to say this." Xu Hao put her down and put away his smile. "Auntie has heard that two days are the birthday of Prince Ouyang. Are you going to the banquet tonight?"

Princess Lin'an said lightly: "I haven't even sent an invitation, why do I have the nerve to go there with shamelessness?"

Xu Hao said: "I received a wedding invitation, but not in the Princess's Mansion, but on the Qinhuai River."

Princess Lin'an said: "Ouyang Lun is so arrogant. Wouldn't he openly give his wife no face and be afraid of angering his father because of this?"

Xu Hao said with some meaning: "It's fake to eat flower wine, but it's true to lure the snake out of the hole. By the way, I'll ask someone to send a letter to Empress Zhang in the evening. After the Empress sets a date, you will bring the grass into the palace with you, aunt."

"Really?" Princess Lin'an was overjoyed and kissed her daughter's face, which was snuggling in her arms.

Xu Hao chuckled and said, "Really."

That night, the news that Xu Hao had contacted the palace for the first time in several months moved with the wind.

In the Duke of Wei’s Mansion, Xu Da sat leisurely in the open water pavilions on all sides, admiring the lotus flowers in the pond with a free expression. On the grass opposite, a group of girls were fishing and playing.

Xu Zengshou stood quietly behind her and whispered: "The news came last night that Xu Hao was going to send Princess Lin'an into the palace."

Xu Da smiled, "This child can't help it."

Xu Zengshou said: "His Highness of the King of Qin died suddenly. The emperor was furious about this. Except for the prince's biological mother, Concubine Deng, all concubines and slaves were executed. He also ordered the King of Jin to quickly enter the capital, and obviously he had begun to suspicion of King Yan."

Xu Da smiled and said, "Zhu Di is the one who is lucky, so there is no need to worry about him. What I am most curious about now is whether Xu Hao is loyal to his family, the emperor, or Zhu Di?"

Xu Zengshou was a little confused and said, "He rebelled against his family and has not contacted His Majesty or his brother-in-law for so long. It is conceivable that he is only loyal to himself. Or he should use Ouyang Lun to kill him, or I would clean up the portal with my own hands, so that my Xu family has been frequently ridiculed recently."

Xu Da thought for a moment and said slowly: "This boy is very patient. If it weren't for Xu Yaozu and his wife's repeated pressure, he would have continued to stay low-key and would have been patiently waiting for me or any of His Majesty to die, and then he would go to Zhu Di without any worries. Now he is in broad daylight and enters the palace with Princess Lin'an swaggeringly. Who dares to kill him then?"

Xu Zengshou said disdainfully: "If you don't care about your brother-in-law, killing him is effortless."

Xu Da said flatly: "You send someone to inform him immediately, and you will say that I want to see him in person, but you want to see if he is coming or not."

Xu Zengshou felt murderous intent in his heart and sneered: "Since he personally refused to be an Jinyiwei and beat his elders, it shows that he was determined to draw a clear line with our family. Why should my father give him such a bad-hearted person?"

Xu Da frowned and said, "I wish I had too many people died, so I don't want him to be the only one. In fact, you don't understand the matter here, even I'm just speculating. I'm not satisfied and cannot die.

Forget it, just send someone to tell him, don’t follow Princess Lin’an into the palace, and his sister-in-law will be released, so he will continue to be a low-key person.”

Xu Zengshou said dissatisfiedly: "Dad, can you make it clear? Do we support our brother-in-law or Zhu Yunwen? You are always patient, Xu Hao is patient, but can Your Majesty be patient?"

Xu Da suddenly laughed and said, "It's enough for someone to be impatient."

In the afternoon, Xu Hao received a message from Shi Feng and sat in the room and thought hard.

Xu Da obviously asked himself to continue to watch the situation coldly and watch the next situation evolved, which was the best choice to do nothing.
