Walking out of the Meridian Gate, the snow in the sky was much smaller and sparse, and the clouds could no longer cover the sun, and the light yellow was pure white. Seeing that this heavy snow that had been rare in decades was at the end of its strength, Xu Hao couldn't be happy. There were too many natural disasters these days.

There were two straight and wide main streets, and people were cleaning the snow in every household. When they saw him riding on his horse, they were rushing over and shouting, and people lost their heads and bowed.

Xu Hao greeted with a smile, and the people's faces were filled with smiles. Although the emperor's condition affected everyone, the prince was a promising young man who respected the ministers and compassionately cared for the people. There was no crisis of fighting for the throne in the Nine Dragons. It can be seen that a rich and safe life will remain the same.

During the Chinese New Year, Jinling was extremely lively. The streets were filled with traffic, including jewelry stores, antique stores, ready-to-wear stores, powder stores, jade stores, silk shops, seafood stores, grocery stores, study stores, paper stores, pharmacies, pulp and wash shops, teahouses and wine shops, etc., all of which were crowded.

The exquisite shops are lined up one after another, and the vibrant hawking sounds are heard one after another. For Xu Hao, there is no more satisfying time than this.

When he got home and walked into Qianshou Hall, he saw a group of old ladies chatting about family matters around the old ladies. Xu Hao walked to his wife and sat down. Yuelan brought a cup of hot tea.

"Old ancestors, the old saying goes, "Food friends, husband and wife, husband and wife, men who are husbands cannot be granted a wife and cute children," means that their husband's leadership is ashamed. It's a pity that our man was blind and could not go to Peking and followed the third master to work hard for the late emperor. I still feel aggrieved when I think about it! Not to mention that the word "Food and rice" is not complete now. It makes my wife and children feel hungry and cold. You always say that such a husband, how can you blame your wife for complaining?" An old lady sighed.

The old lady said, "Don't take it to heart. As a husband, asks his wife to complain all day long. Although he is not a useful man, but as a wife, he complains all day long, that is not a useful wife."

Xu Hao immediately whispered to his wife: "After all, my grandmother can see through it. The luckiest thing about me is that I married a good wife and never nag."

"Is that?" Mu Ningxue didn't believe her husband's nonsense. Isn't it a woman if she doesn't nag? It's just a way to be good or bad.

The old lady seemed to have been tired of the annual complaint meeting. In the past years, she pityed their experiences, and had to give them all kinds of good things. But today she said with great thoughts: "According to my mother's opinion, if she is a useless daughter-in-law, she should not blame her husband, and if she is a useful daughter-in-law, she will not have to blame her husband. Take daily livelihoods as an example. Although women in different livelihoods cannot be made by women, they cannot be made by those mulberry silkworm weaving, washing yarn embroidery, and raising chickens and feeding ducks? I think of women in ancient times. When they married husbands as officials and officials, they even had the sound of weaving at home and abroad, so they refused to work hard, and they kept waiting for their husbands' food all day long with their mouths open all day long. They waited for their husbands' clothes naked, and they started to roar and make a big fuss. They really don't know how to talk about them."

The reactions of a group of old ladies immediately changed. Some people's faces were brilliant, and they were obviously called.

At this time, Zhu Qiaoqiao said, "It's my ancestors' wise. Liu Xi, who was around me, used to be so lazy. If she didn't like her, she would call her husband a waste. Her husband couldn't stand it anymore, so she simply wanted to sell her to someone else. Liu Xi was also eager. Because she was worried that her next husband would be incompetent and could not eat well and dress well, she said that I wanted to choose a son-in-law and chose a strong man from the north. Seeing that he was rich, he only thought he was a rich man, but he was actually a robber. In less than a year, he was caught and asked for his death."

"Oh, there is such a thing?" the old ladies were all interested and asked, "What happened later? Please tell me quickly."

"Later?" Zhu Qiaoqiao said with a smile: "Liuxi handed over to the official media to sell it. There were many women, and many families went to see it. It happened that Liuxi's ex-husband was planning to buy a wife who was willing to endure hardships. When he found Liuxi, he felt embarrassed and turned around and wanted to leave.

Liuxi grabbed him and knelt in front of her ex-husband cryingly, begging him not to forget his old love, and at least redeem me. The ex-husband ignored her, and she begged hard. However, those wealthy families and merchants all had enough food and clothing, fur, silk, and satin. Seeing that his ex-husband did not redeem him, Liuxi was both outstanding in appearance and was my girl. Who wouldn't want to buy her? Unexpectedly, Liuxi was determined to have a good life, but he refused to obey her, and wanted to follow her ex-husband home if he wanted to do so."

Everyone was surprised. It is true that a good girl would not marry a second husband, but since Liu Xi has broken the precept, it doesn’t matter if three husbands and four husbands are not counted as a year. Her husband will never be able to become a rich man. Why bother to go back with him? It’s hard to understand.

Xu Hao also felt strange and said to his wife: "Did your sister-in-law say something to Liuxi?"

Mu Ningxue shook her head and said, "Don't you know her character yet? When Liu Xi agreed to marry, Liu Xi regretted it. Didn't he slap her in the face? He blamed her for being inaccurate in her eyes, how could her sister-in-law care about her again?"

"Yes, strange." Xu Hao nodded.

Zhu Qiaoqiao continued, "The official media asked Liu Xi why? Liu Xi said that she was wrong at the beginning, and she only wanted to wear good food and have someone to serve her. But she did not ask about her origin and married a bad person, so she is the only one who is today. How could these people know that they are not bad people? It would be better to follow her ex-husband. Although her family is poor, she can still live. Her husband is a good person, knowing that he is passionate and has hands and feet, so she doesn't want to change her mind and just wants to get back to the old.

Seeing that she was talking pitiful, my ex-husband softly paid the money and took her home. Everyone said that he was crazy and didn't want Liuxi to change his temperament. He was very lazy and now he is very diligent. He was extravagant and now he is frugal; he was very fierce and now he is very gentle. He laughed at her for entering a robber's nest and tasted the taste. In the past two years, she helped her husband get married and started a business. The couple managed a business for me, and lived a prosperous life."

"Ouch." The old ladies secretly praised.

Someone said: "If she had not married a robber, she seemed to have worn gold and silver, but she was also worried and exhausted. Only then did she realize the benefits of simple food and food. If she could not eat enough, she would not starve to death and would not have been killed in her life. When she was about to behead her head, she would have been unable to get it because of hunger and cold. Those women who were lazy and complained about her husband, unfortunately they had never married a robber. They would rather suffer from hunger and cold than doing evil things, and not be burdened with enough food and clothing."

The old ladies laughed. Xu Hao also laughed and said, "After now, it is said that a good wife cannot cook without rice. The wife of a small family is hardworking and frugal, so it is fine to manage a small family. In those rich families, in addition to their husbands, there are concubines and children, and maids and family members have to dress and eat. If such a family, if the husband is not promising, he will probably blame his husband for his luck no matter how coincidental his wife is."

Xu Hao speaks justice. Every family has a difficult sutra to recite. Poor and humble couples are mourning. Rich couples will not quarrel. Some people have troubles.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Qiaoqiao sneered, "I'm here to cherish my beauty again. A capable man can naturally make money without his wife's complaints; while a incompetent man can't curse his food and clothing even if he curses sooner or later, and hurts the couple's relationship in vain. Anyway, I, Zhu Qiaoqiao, would never complain, and would rather rack my brains. I beg my grandpa to not eat for a month, and I should come up with a plan and cook rice without rice. If the cook is cooked, I am a good wife. If the cook is not cooked, at least I will be a virtuous wife."

Amid the flattery of a group of women, Xu Hao smiled and did not refute, thinking that it was not that easy? Who didn’t have time to memorize the words? Of course, no matter how bad luck is, you can’t be trapped at home for a long time. As long as you are not sick, who will make you a man?

Suddenly, Xu Hao felt that the atmosphere in the room became very strange. These old men looked at the old lady, and one of them said, "Who can compare with the old lady when it comes to a good wife?"

It turned out that Xu Hao's cheap grandfather, who had passed away early, was also the young master of the Shuxiang family during his lifetime. His parents were in Japan and had a family property of 20,000 yuan. Later, Fengyang suffered many years of war, so the grandfather gave all the property to his brother Xu Da to recruit soldiers.

The old lady is also the daughter of the Jiang family, a wealthy family. After marrying her, she took care of her husband and children. But after her husband died, she realized that the family’s savings had long been gone. Even the betrothal money and the money for getting married were all collected by Xu Da’s brothers. As for the land, the land was still there and no one had planted it.

At that time, the old lady was caught off guard and was very worried. How should her family and the young and old of Xu Da support her? Dozens of people, unless they are gods who turn stones into rice, they can only wait for death.

It was Zhu Yuanzhang's most difficult period and he could not count on it, but at least there was someone in the Xu family who was guarding him, and no one dared to bully him from afar.

It is said that the old lady summoned everyone and told her to live as frugal as possible in the future. Unexpectedly, all the maids and servants lost their smiles, just like the yamen runners met a clean official and knew that there was no benefit.

The old lady read the account book overnight. Every time she won a battle, her brother Xu Da would send back a large sum of gold, silver and grain. Where did the money and grain go?

From then on, she divided her mind into two parts, one for monitoring maids and the other for inspecting males. For example, in the morning, she observed that the woman had been thrown out rice and did not wash it immediately, and she delayed by the well, so the old lady deliberately walked away.

Hiding from a distance to see what they were doing, gradually found that someone was carrying a few bowls of rice, pouring it into the corner of the wall while it was unprepared, and then came back to get the rice and put it into the pot.

It turned out that there was a small warehouse inside the wall that could accommodate a few stones of rice. It was secretly dug by several decent women and maids. It was the turn of one to manage the grain, and the one would pour the rice into it. Because the Xu family was indifferent to the fact that the people who had no use were responsible for it, the grain was stolen unknowingly.

The old lady opened her eyes and sighed: "I don't want a small hole in the wall to leak a fortune. I don't blame my brothers for saying that their subordinates are so terrifying and shocking, and it turns out to be so."

However, the old lady did not expose the matter and kept this small warehouse for use when she was saving her life.

In addition, there is a large vegetable garden behind the Xu family's kitchen. The man who was responsible for growing vegetables was very lazy and did nothing. But when he was growing vegetables, he suddenly became diligent. Because he was worried that he would be robbed of an errand by someone who was more diligent, he not only hid his hoe every day, but also didn't even eat food. He had to go to the vegetable garden to inspect it first. Seeing someone else's footprints on the ground, he immediately asked the whole thing.

The old lady who was observing secretly said nothing, thought in her heart: "His spiritual lifeline is gathered in one place. It can be seen that there is no second thought except the vegetable garden. Without asking, you can tell that there is something stolen hidden under the ground. It is in line with the two ancient sayings, the master and servant are united, and the loess turn into gold."

Every tree and tree in the Xu family belongs to the owner, just like the private factory companies in later generations, everything belongs to the legal person.
