As soon as the sun sets, Xu Qinglian and her younger brothers and sisters came to Fushouju where Xu Taijun lives to greet each other. At this moment, the yard is full of maids and mothers, among which there are many strangers with very restrained expressions, obviously they are newly accepted servants from the third house.

The little maid who knew her own familiarity buckled the curtain. Before she could enter the house, she heard bursts of laughter coming from it. The three siblings penetrated through the Buddhist temple and walked around a marble Baishou screen and entered the hall.

Xu Hao looked up and saw the third aunt Wang sitting next to the old lady, smiling and joking with her cousin sitting on one side. In addition, there were a few well-known women in charge standing and making fun, looking very happy.

Today, Xu Taijun is wearing a satin gown with flowers and a flower-woven silk, a four-color vest with marten fur on the outside, and a pleated Hunan skirt sewn with silver silk, leaning on the Taishi chair made of Laojun bamboo.

He was wearing a white marble with golden silk and white peony on his head, and a pair of Nanyang emerald gem pendants on his ears. He was wearing some powder on his face and silver silk on his head, looking particularly radiant.

Seeing that the three grandchildren were coming, Xu Taijun's face was not angry and powerful, and he slapped his forehead slightly.

The three siblings stepped forward to salute and greet their grandmother and aunt. Wang smiled and stretched out his hand to help him. Xu Qinglian and Xu Hongye walked to the sisters on the side, and a maid brought her to the chair.

Just as Xu Hao was about to turn around and look for a seat, he heard Xu Taijun ask slowly: "Brother Hao, have you improved your recent homework?"

Xu Hao was stunned and thought for a while and said in a proper manner: "Go back to my grandmother, I have been neglecting my hard work recently, and my grandson has not made much progress. I realize that I am wrong."

"Huh!" Wang looked at Xu Hao strangely and said with a smile: "No wonder everyone below said that Brother Hao has become much sensible in recent days, treats people politely, and has become more and more like an adult. As expected, he has become humble and gentle, not as naughty as he was when he was a child."

"Yes." Xu Hao lowered his head.

Xu Taijun nodded and said, "I'm a little calm. I'm afraid I'm just pretending to be in front of my old body. It's okay, go back and study hard. Tell your parents that there are happy events at home today, and I'm so quarrels that I have a headache. I don't need them to come and greet you. It's enough to have Qinglian and the sisters accompany me. I'll keep their sisters here for dinner, you go."

"Yes." Xu Hao, who was originally planning to hide his weakness, had already given up his thoughts at this time, and then he left the hall.

The women in the yard greeted him one after another, and Xu Hao responded with a smile. After a while, he walked out of Fushouju House. He saw an eleven or two-year-old maid hurried over and said, "Third Master, the eldest Master, please go to the front house to meet you."

"Oh, I understand." Xu Hao turned around and explained the old lady to Qiu Xiang. Qiu Xiang asked the little maid: "Who is in the front house?"

"A few young masters are here." The little maid replied very well.

Qiuxiang frowned and said to Xu Hao, "I'm afraid I'm asking you to come over and have a drink, so remember to drink less and go early and come back early."

"I know, you go back."

Xu Hao waved his hand casually, walked towards the outside house, recalling some past events as he walked. In the memory in his mind, when his brothers were studying, his cousin Xu Wen took them to the lake to eat wine, fish in the fishing place, and then the teacher complained to the old lady.

Every time Xu Wen was able to escape by making excuses. His second brother Xu Ji studied hard behind his back. Although the fourth brother Xu Song was the most naughty, he was young and always avoided punishment. He was the only one who was beaten to the point of being beaten again and again. Not to mention this, he would be scolded by his strong mother when he got home.

Everyone thinks that the third brother of the Xu family is the most mediocre among the brothers, just like his father. However, there is one advantage, that is, every brother and sister are happy to play with him and have the best popularity.

"It's a blessing to suffer a loss." Xu Hao smiled and thought of several other illegitimate brothers as he walked. He almost had no sense of existence in the entire family. It's strange that these illegitimate brothers either died of illness or died unexpectedly, and none of them lived past fifteen years old.

Xu Hao had no secret thoughts about this. There was an old lady in his family, and basically no one dared to commit crimes. Of course, if there was anything sneaky, he wouldn't know about it. Anyway, he didn't have half-siblings, so it was all right.

Soon after leaving the inner house, Lai Bao squatted under the wall in the alley. Seeing his young master coming out, he quickly got up, patted his butt and went forward.

"The fourth young master has managed a table of hosts. The eldest young master and the second young master have arrived, and you are the only one left." Lai Bao explained with a smile.

Xu Hao smiled as he walked, "It seems that the fourth brother is well-developed."

"Not." Lai Bao rubbed his hands enviously and said exaggeratedly: "The Fourth Young Master has always been a little bold. He secretly carried the Third Master and the Third Mr. and took over more than 20 servants from five families. In addition, he also received some gifts from silver shops, and the silver was a total of a thousand taels."

Xu Hao was shocked, stopped and said in surprise: "Seriously? Have you violated the king's law?"

"That's natural." Lai Bao said with a smile: "But this is a routine in the officialdom. With our dignified Xu family, there will be no trouble."

Xu Hao said coldly: "It's not a trivial matter whenever something happens. The fourth brother is really brave."

Lai Bao said disapprovingly: "Anyway, this matter is OK with you, Master. Even if someone sues the official position, it will be the third wife's affairs and we will not be affected."

Xu Hao shook his head slowly: "If the family doesn't speak two families, you are confused. Xu Wen and Xu Ji know about this? What do they say?"

"I didn't say anything." Laibao said with a smile.

"Strange." Xu Hao was a little puzzled. There was no secret in this big family. Since the brothers knew about the fourth brothers, it was impossible not to spread it to the elders' ears. Why was everyone indifferent?

Suddenly, Xu Hao's eyes lit up and he murmured to himself: "Is it possible that someone told the fourth brother to do this? How is that possible? Oh, I understand."

Lai Bao was confused and opened his mouth and asked, "Young Master, what do you understand?"

"Go for a walk."

Xu Hao said three words in a row, and walked forward without saying a word. Lai Bao had to follow him, pass through a courtyard house, and come to a serene house located at the east end of the Xu house. It is called Jingxinxuan, which is used to entertain relatives and friends who like quietness.

At this moment, a few wind lanterns were hung under the eaves of Yashe, and several banquets were placed in the yard. The warm wind brought the fragrance of wine and food. A group of companions were waiting for Xu Hao's arrival as servants and book children.

When everyone saw the third young master slowly coming in from a distance, everyone suddenly felt a thunderous joy. Xu Hao looked up and saw the three brothers sitting in the hall.

Xu Hao walked forward slowly, and the fourth brother Xu Song, who was wearing bright and bright clothes, stood up and said, "The third brother is finally here. We have been waiting for a long time."

Xu Hao smiled and bowed to the two brothers Xu Wen and Xu Ji who could not move, and said with a smile: "Go to pay my respects to the old lady. Forgive me to turn a blind eye to the matter outside the window. What's the trouble tonight?"

Xu Song pulled him down and smiled and said, "I won't hide my brother from you. My father is going to be an official. My son is also making some money. I invite three brothers to have a glass of wine and celebrate."

Xu Wen raised a glass of wine with a strange look and said, "Come on, let's drink this cup together."

Xu Hao smiled and pulled up the wine cup in front of him and said with a smile: "It seems that our family is about to have a happy couple. Brother, you will naturally have to toast you with this glass of wine first."
