In the spotless Buddhist temple, Xu Hao knelt on the cushion, enshrined the statue of Nanmu Bodhisattva, while his aunt Shangguan sat beside him, covering his hands tightly.

When Xu Hao's uncle was alive, his aunt was domineering and obscene, and he spoke sarcastically and never left a trace of affection for others. He only admired his elder sister Xiao, but he looked down on his brother-in-law Xu Qingtang. He would spoil every time he met.

No one looks down on the younger generation in the family, and he loves Xu Hao, his nephew. He loves the house and Wu Erlai has no interest in it. Because Shangguan has not given birth to a son or a daughter for many years, he may be unfilial in the future. Loving Xu Hao means he will have more security in the future.

There are three concubines in the house, including Fan, who was born in a brothel, who had a son, Xiao Rong and daughter, Xiao Yuwei, who was not over ten years old. Last year, Shangguan made the decision to let the other two concubines remarry.

Although the child calls her mother and his wife is as stable as Mount Tai, Fan is the biological mother. When Xiao Rong grows up in the future, she will naturally know who to go to. Shangguan knows that there have been too many people offended in the past. After losing her husband, there is no more sorrow than death. He has no intention of calculating Fan, so he is temporarily peaceful.

Grandmother Fang, who is over 50 years old, has a gray hair, but has a rosy face and good complexion. Unlike Shangguan, who lost her husband after losing her husband, she lost her weight in a year. If her nephew had not come, she would be like a walking corpse at home, and she would no longer have the flying spirit of the past.

Xu Hao respected his grandmother very much and expressed his intentions respectfully. Fang kept fiddling with Buddhist beads in his hand and smiled, "Hao'er is intent."

Xu Hao said: "Children are always plagued by everything, and they may leave the capital one day, and ask their grandmother to come forward to take charge of the overall situation."

"Well!" Fang did not refuse, and looked very pleased, "It was handled well, and it was hard to think carefully about your young age. Lao Shi summoned the gentry to discuss with a thin meeting. Jinling has had good weather and food for many years. I think our family has more than ten thousand stones of millet alone, which is enough to support until autumn. You can know honor and disgrace when you have enough food. With food and food, the villagers will work together to protect the villagers."

Xu Hao felt relieved because his mother often said that she could not even compare with her grandmother's ability. This is true. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the world was in chaos all the time, and it was all up to my grandmother to take good care of it. In such a turbulent era, she could teach all the scholars. The court once gave the first-rank lady the imperial edict.

In terms of prestige, no one in the entire Xiaojia Village disrespects Mrs. Fang. In this regard, the old lady of the Xu family must be slightly inferior. With grandmother leading the way, everyone in the village will undoubtedly be convinced.

Xu Hao talked for a while, and Mrs. Fang suddenly sighed: "I committed a crime in my previous life. Your uncle died of illness two years ago. Your aunt and family were orphans and widows who wanted to come to Jinling to surrender. The Xiao family was a widow, except for your mother. I hope to do more good deeds in this life to accumulate virtue and blessing future generations. There are many troubles in front of this widow. Hao'er, you must remember to respect your elders and pay attention to your mother's side. If you die, you will feel at ease."

Xu Hao didn't notice that his aunt Ma's expression suddenly fell, but he knew that the Xiao family's turmoil had changed. His cousin Xiao Chang became the pillar of the family. Although the eldest aunt and mother were noble because of their son, she was in the hands of her grandmother, she also spoke very well. How could Ma's be a good face to the aunt who defected to the family?

Regarding my aunt Xu Hao's name for a long time, she was half a mother and said, "My mother has already told me about this, and I will order the child to take my aunt's family to live in my house."

Old Mrs. Fang looked at the eldest daughter-in-law without a trace and breathed a sigh of relief. Since the eldest daughter is sensible, it is best, but the old man is really afraid that everyone in his family will follow in Yu Shi's footsteps after death. In those years, she hid in the Buddhist temple and ignored foreign affairs and even made her granddaughter bullied. If it weren't for her grandson's timely discovery and took Yu Shi away, how could she be worthy of her dead husband and eldest son?

Therefore, as soon as the third son died, the old lady immediately came forward to take over Daquan of the family, just because she didn't want Ma to bully her two wives and children at will.

Old Mrs. Fang was so grateful to her grandson that she agreed to her grandson's request without saying a word today. She said with relief: "It's so great, she will feel happy in her deep sisterhood. I'm sorry that your aunt has been married to another place for many years and can rest assured."

"It should be." Xu Hao noticed a hint of envy on the faces of the two aunts this time and frowned.

He said goodbye later and came to my aunt's house. Shangguan said sadly: "Auntie has always loved you, but you must remember to come to visit me often."

"I remember it, my child." Xu Hao asked again: "Is it difficult for you to live?"

Shangguan sighed, "Your uncle is gone, what's the best way to live? Just drag your life to survive. If you have food, eat more, and don't eat without food. If it weren't for your two cousins, I would have hanged myself and left with your uncle."

At this time, Mei walked in alone and said, "Aunt Hao'er begged you for something. At least you can send someone to Hangzhou. Although your cousin often sends letters and gifts, every time I send someone to visit, I always say I can't see your cousin. It's either that I feel uncomfortable and inconvenient to meet or that I'm not at home. If you think this family member is here, how can your cousin not meet in person? This is quite strange."

Xu Hao said thoughtfully: "Okay, I remember."

Seeing that the two aunts looked depressed and frivolous, Xu Hao felt uncomfortable and simply said, "After my aunt comes home, you two will go to my house to stay together. Now there is only two of my nephew’s wife and I at home, so there is nothing inconvenient."

The two aunts looked at each other, and Mei said, "It's good to go and relax. We live with your aunt, and we are not afraid of outsiders talking nonsense."

"No one dares to talk nonsense." Xu Hao sighed slightly in his heart with a sneer, and said in his heart that he was one step closer to the beast, not right! He was like his sister-in-law, and he had long been a beast.

After lunch, Xu Hao said goodbye to his elders who were reluctant to leave, and saw the relatives of the Xiao family coming to the outside house. Everyone looked flattering. Xu Hao nodded with a cold face, and left without even saying a word, leaving the Xiao family looking at each other.

He rode his horse to the Forbidden City. When he arrived at the Meridian Gate, snowflakes fell from the sky. Xu Hao took out his waist sign and handed it to the Jinyiwei who guarded the Meridian Gate. Unexpectedly, the other party said calmly: "The sanctioned envoy is destined to enter the palace except for the Three Dukes and Ministers."

Xu Hao squinted his eyes and asked, "Which polite envoy?"

The Jinyiwei looked stern and didn't say anything. He just hit the city tower with a general flag in his thirties. Xu Hao said loudly: "Old Li, come here."

"Yeah! It's Mr. Xu, you are here."

Mr. Li hurriedly ran out, pulled Xu Hao to the open space, and whispered: "These few days, your family had a very unhappy quarrel with Prince Ouyang, and they were competing against each other. By the way, Prince Ouyang became the policing envoy."

Xu Hao said unhappily: "What's up to me? Why don't you let someone enter the palace?"

Mr. Li shook his head and said, "I don't know this humble position. This is the will of the emperor and the emperor has nothing to do with our Jinyiwei."

Xu Hao frowned and said, "Then you go to the Ganqing Palace to find Eunuch Li, and just say I want to meet the emperor."

Mr. Li said in embarrassment: "You should go find those people in your family. If Mr. Ouyang knew that I would help you pass the message, he would definitely send me home."

"Then who is my eldest brother and second brother on duty today?" Xu Hao asked.

Mr. Li said, "Your second brother is on duty these days, but he has gone to the East Palace in the afternoon. Mr. Xu is sorry. Please wait slowly. I have to go back quickly. Nothing was seen by Mr. Ouyang."

Xu Hao slowly raised his head and just saw Ouyang Lun looking at him with his hands in his chest and smiling. Xu Hao sneered, and immediately turned around and strode away from the Meridian Gate. Ouyang Lun said disdainfully: "Unless you ask me to come, you won't want to enter the palace."

Suddenly, I heard the crisp and rapid sound of horse hooves outside, and I saw Xu Hao riding a white horse with four hooves flying up and rolling up snowflakes in the sky, rushing towards the Meridian Gate like a whirlwind.

Ouyang Lun shouted in shock: "Close the palace gate quickly, hurry up."

With a dull rumbling sound, the well-trained Jinyiwei closed the Meridian Gate first. Xu Hao tied the reins and raised his head and smiled: "If you have the guts, don't open the door. I'll sleep here tonight, no one can go in."

Ouyang Lun bent over and cursed: "Xu Laosan, don't be ungrateful. If you don't give me face today, I won't give you face either."

Xu Hao smiled and bowed, "Then I beg you to do it, open the door."

Ouyang Lun was speechless and said with a long laugh and crying for a while: "You have a habit, open the door."

The Jinyiwei below shook his head helplessly, secretly scolded his boss for looking for trouble without any trouble, and quickly pushed the Zhuhong Palace Gate hard to open again.

Xu Hao sneered at them and said, "The Lord once gave me a horse to ride in the Forbidden City. If you weren't all the Jinyiwei, today I'd like to ask you to splatter blood for five steps." After that, he rode in high horse.

When Ouyang Lun heard that his face turned green, he quickly jumped down the door stairs, jumped and ran down the door stairs, catching up with Xu Hao with all his smile on his face, "It's just a joke with you, don't take it seriously! Brother Ruyixuan will pose for you to apologize for crimes at night?"

Xu Hao raised his head and said, "You know that no one is allowed to stop me from entering the palace, but you still want to fool me. If you can't do it, you have to find a judge to the emperor, otherwise you won't be able to swallow this."

"No, why don't I be wrong?" Ouyang Lun stood in front and bowed and bowed.

Xu Hao smiled and turned over and dismounted, saying, "This is almost the same. Why are you dirty with my Xu family?"

Ouyang Lun said angrily: "Third brother, you said I was a policing envoy. Why didn't your uncle listen to my orders? Isn't it the crown prince who approved him for his policing envoy, and I hate that I blocked his promotion! Can you blame me?"

So that's it. Xu Hao thought to himself that uncle is really confused. You are a thousand households to check and balance me. Now that I am not here, there will naturally be someone to check and balance you. If you, father and son, have firmly controlled the Jinyiwei, you will probably not be far from death.

This matter cannot be persuaded at all. Xu Hao is too lazy to waste his words. Anyway, the dog bites his hair.

"I can't afford to take care of your affairs. I have something to do to see Your Majesty." Xu Hao stopped just as he was about to walk and said with a smile: "You don't need the prince-consort to make a drink to apologize. I have a shortage of food at home. What do you think should you do?"
