On the sixth day of the sixth month of the 29th year of Hongwu, nearly 6,000 people were beating the gong while surrounding the Mu Palace. At first, the servants of the Mu family thought that the imperial court sent someone to search the house and exterminate the clan. They were frightened and lay down at the crack of the door and took a closer look. It turned out that they were not officers and soldiers.

This incident caused a sensation in the entire capital. Not only were the people not afraid, they rushed over to watch the fun, and squeezed the streets near Prince Mu's Mansion into a mess. I heard that it was indeed a robbery. Xu Hao, who was demoted to a grass-roots mansion, was coming to rob the princess of the Mu family. For a moment, countless people sighed and sighed.

Mu Chun, who had just returned to the capital, was furious when he heard the news and took Shu King Zhu Chun and the 300 generals out of the mansion.

Mu Chun's face was as deep as water, and he said angrily to Xu Hao, who was riding a horse, "Xu Hao, do you know your crime? Incite the idle people to surround my Mu family, and quickly get off the horse and surrender."

Xu Hao sneered: "What a idler? I'm here to marry Ningxue today. The brothers came to congratulate you specifically."

"You're messing around."

Mu Chun glanced at him and saw that the person wearing a python robe on Xu Hao's left was Zhu Gaoxu, the prince of Gaoyang, and the famous one was Duke Cao Li Jinglong. The others were either rich or noble in dress. Without asking, they were all children of nobles in the capital. They couldn't help but complain in their hearts, thinking that these people have always been accustomed to being domineering in the capital, so they can't do anything?

At this moment, the people around were shouting, some cheering for Xu Hao, some cheering for the Mu family, but they all laughed with kindness.

Zhu Gaoxu turned over and dismounted, first bowed to Zhu Chun, the King of Shu, who smiled bitterly, and then said loudly: "Let's be quiet, no one knows that Princess Yuning has a priest who promised to choose her husband by herself? Today, Xiao Wang helps the couple, and wants to ask in person who the princess wants to marry? If she wants to marry my uncle Wang, Xiao Wang will leave immediately without saying a word, but if the princess chooses my brother Xu Hao, then she will be sorry. Even if you step on your Mu family, you will have to take the person away today."

The people applauded. An old lady laughed and said, "Don't act, hurry up and let the groom grab the bride back to the bridal chamber! The Mu family doesn't care about the groom's identity, and we can see clearly the reason. Do you think so, neighbors?"

A man shouted, "Yes! The Mu family is very righteous." "The groom has so many good brothers. It can be seen that they have a family character. I heard that they have been demoted to the common people. It seems that they will make a fortune in the future. The Mu family has a good vision." The people around him suddenly laughed and praised him in a lingering manner.

Zhu Chun said helplessly: "Are you messing around? Even if you want to get into Qin and Jin, what's the reason for coming to the door to force a marriage with such a fierce momentum?"

Zhu Gaoxu laughed and said, "Then I don't care. I'm willing to rush to the forefront of my brothers and nephews."

Mu Chun said angrily: "Mu family, I am the head of the family. I don't agree. No one can marry my sister. You can go back quickly, otherwise I will go to the imperial court to sue you for bullying others."

Xu Hao was too lazy to talk too much and turned his back: "Come on, tie up Mu Chun and the Prince for me."

Hula rushed out nearly five hundred Jinyiwei, and Mu Chun sneered: "Public tools are used for private purposes, Xu Hao, are you impatient to live? No one has to fight back."

Mu Xi stepped forward and smiled, "I'm sorry, you two. I've tied up the person."

As soon as the words were finished, four or five Jinyiwei walked forward with a smile, and gently tied the two of them with a silk rope. The Mufu family generals and Jinyiwei laughed and scolded each other. It seemed that even if the head of the family said, they would never resist.

Mu Chun sneered: "Xu Hao, don't be proud. Ningxue likes you, but if she dares to take a step forward from my Mu family, no matter whether you will fall for this matter or not, my Mu family will cut off the affection with Ningxue."

Xu Hao said disdainfully: "I have good hands and feet to raise Qi Ningxue. How should I care about the power of your Mu family?"

Zhu Chun was so embarrassed for the first time he had grown up. He especially played the role of a third party who hated others, and said speechlessly: "Okay, okay, don't talk too much. Take the person away quickly. If you are late, you can't leave."

Mu Chun sighed helplessly and said, "Get out quickly! If the emperor implicates the whole family of my Mu family for this matter, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost."

Xu Hao smiled and said, "Can the emperor control the robbers of the grass people? I'll go in after that."

At that moment, Xu Hao and Mu Xi and Zhu Gaoxu were rushing up with people majestic. The people from the Mu family immediately pretended to behave and fled in a mess, causing the people to burst into laughter.

Mu Ang suddenly appeared and waved hard to Xu Hao.

Xu Hao and Zhu Gaoxu dared to break into the Mu family, but Li Jinglong and others didn't have the courage. They all smiled and turned over and got up.

Zhu Chun deliberately scared: "You are loyal enough. Don't leave later, you will accompany me to the palace to meet the saint."

Li Jinglong smiled and said, "That's natural. How can you not show your face in front of Your Majesty in such a glorious thing? A total of 2,500 descendants of noble and meritorious officials in the whole world have come. Your Mu family has a greater face than the ones whom the Ming media has married."

Mu Chun shouted in surprise: "You are crazy? How dare you gather together and cause trouble?"

Li Jinglong smiled and said, "Brother Mu, don't worry. This lord issued an order to order the old ministers of the world to go to Beijing to talk about it. I am ordered to receive it. Our younger generation is about to go out of Beijing to practice today. Who knew that when you passed by your Mu family, you encountered this incident. It happened to happen."

"You are as old as a child." Mu Chun was helpless, and his hands were slightly pressed, and the silk rope floated apart. "I told you why Xu Hao had such a great courage to gather thousands of people to surround my Mu family. It was either a death sentence or a death sentence."

Zhu Chun smiled and said, "If you make such a fuss, Xu Hao is guilty of not being guilty. I don't know what my father will do with him."

Li Jinglong laughed and said, "What else do he fear except death? He just robbed the bride, even if he went to sea to arrest the official documents, it would be useless."

Then everyone was taken to the palace by the King of Yan Zhu Di, who was ordered to come. Unexpectedly, the emperor did not even face the court. The custom of robbing the bride has been around since ancient times. Xu Hao, a commoner, deliberately robbing the bride. The Mu family obviously intends to indulge it. Both sides are willing and do not belong to me. As for Princess Fuqing remarriage, it is purely a rumor and not trustworthy.

It turns out that robbing bride was a marriage method adopted by poor people in ancient times. It was probably because the man was unable to bear the betrothal gift and the woman was unable to bear the dowry. Xu Hao was a nominal man who wanted to marry the princess, but there was no other choice except to rob the bride. As for whether it was reasonable or not, no one would care about it.

Since the Tang and Song dynasties, the marriage process has been very complicated and costly. Families who do not marry properly will be ridiculed and discriminated against by all parties and will be regarded as a great humiliation. However, the act of robbing brides will be widely understood and blessed by the world. After all, people have sympathy. Besides, robbing brides almost always occurs in the homes of poor people at the bottom.

Of course, the parties involved must discuss the robbery in advance, otherwise it would be a bad deed. There are rules here that have become customary. As long as the man rings the gong, the neighbors around you will know that someone is coming to rob his wife. Afterwards, a couple worship the world and cook the rice into cooked rice. The groom returns to the door to apologize to his father-in-law and mother-in-law. In the future, there will be no evil feelings for the two families to reconcile.

For this kind of robbery behavior, the government has always been ignorant of the beauty of adulthood and let it go, admitting that it is legal and not prosecuted. Who doesn't know about Xu Hao and Mu Ningxue's love affair? Therefore, Comrade Zhu said this and it was not under my control.

The news quickly reached the Xu family. While the whole family was shocked, they shook their heads and smiled bitterly. Relatives and friends repeatedly expressed their joy, saying that the Xu family is coming today.

In ecstasy, the old lady quickly asked Xu Hao whether he had come back? She said angrily: "This monkey actually said hello in advance without saying a word. Oh, I feel wronged that my new wife, please take the person over and take out the old dowry and family heirlooms. Poor Ningxue, this child."

As a result, when the people below asked each other, no one knew where the third young master had snatched his wife and ran away.

Xiao held back his laughter and said, "Mother, don't worry, Hao'er robbed the bride because he wanted to set his name first. He would have to hold a wedding in the future. How could he be too slow to treat Ningxue?"

The old lady Zhan Yanxi said, "It should be like this! This child is really, and he will solve the big life of the life without a sound. It's better for the couple not to come back, let the couple enjoy the whole country and the river. Cuitao, look, your brother has forgotten his parents now, so cheer up and send you into the sedan chair with his own hands."

When they heard the news, Xu Wen and Xu Ji looked at each other and sighed for a moment, and they were extremely envious of the third brother's boundless beauty.

The eldest wife Wang said speechlessly: "It's a pity that Brother Hao dared to run to rob the bride, I'm convinced him."

Xu Yaozu smiled and said, "Dare to act and take responsibility, this kid is a hero."

Wang Xuanqing was in a complicated mood. He heard Geng tell the story of Shuiyue Temple vividly before, but how could he guess who Xu Hao was for? Moreover, he recently received a letter from his mother who was far away in Liaodong that everything was fine. He also accidentally heard from the manager of the Ning Wang Mansion last month that the great benefactor who entrusted Ning Wang to take good care of the Wang family behind the scenes was Xu Hao.

Zhu Qiaoqiao, Zhulan and other maids all had their own ideas, and Dadi had already prepared mentally and did not make any fuss.

However, Princess Fuqing was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Xu Hao's move was no less than slapping her in public, making her a laughing stock in the capital. First, her husband died because of him, and then she was humiliated by him. She gritted her teeth and said to Xu Hao, we are not finished.

The Zhang family of Heshouhou, the octagonal pavilion in front of the Jade Pagoda, has now been renovated.

Zhang Yueyun, who was playing a song of phoenixes, looked calm, but the sound of the piano stopped abruptly. Zhang Yu looked at his sister's hand being cut by the strings and blood gushed out.

Zhang Yueyun didn't feel it and said lightly: "I wish my benefactor and Miss Mu to be together until old age."

"Sister, you are injured." "Is that right?" Zhang Yueyun turned his head and a tear fell quietly, dripping onto the guqin and slowly melted.

On June 12, the old lady of the Xu family brought her second wife's family on a boat with the King of Yan Zhu Di to Yanjing north, and Yang Fan left.
