The first thousand two hundred and seventy-five chapters

Regardless of men and women, they are half burning incense and half play.↗,

The mountains are full of green onions and clouds, and the water is rippling and the moon is drifting.

He swayed the orchid oars at the sky, and sang all night to call his close friend.

Qixia welcomes the gods and people gather together, and the prosperity belongs to Jinling City.

The golden crow fell westward, and on the calm river surface, all the big and small cruise ships lit candles. The light from strings of lanterns reflected the water surface, like thousands of rays of rays of rays, shining brightly.

The bonfire on the shore gradually faded, and some boats blew flutes and pipas were played. Among the melodious music, countless banquets were placed on the shore of the boat, and people were rushing to each other, toasting and toasting in front of other people's tables.

In the villa, after the banquet was dispersed, Du Qianqian said to everyone: "I have invited the imperial title yesterday. This is the first big event in her life. It must be a lively event. Tomorrow I will be a host and let all my relatives know."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Qinglian, Mu Ningxue and others were stunned. No one expected that Mu Ang and his wife's words that day were really fun, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

Generally speaking, most of these things are the fact that the main house has no children, or the main house is weak and sick, or the old one is old, or the concubine has made great contributions to the family, or the mother's family has made a strong fortune, or the person is really virtuous. In short, it is an intriguing thing, because it means that the concubine has half the identity of the master.

Just like Wu Zetian, Yang Guifei, and Cixi were named imperial concubines, which was of great significance. If Du Qianqian had not had a stable status, they would have doubted whether she was in a crisis of being neglected by her husband like the queen.

Xu Hao never thought of relying on this to repay his women. The title of honor is not a big pot of rice. Everyone can get one, and of course they can give it a reward after death.

The concubines in the room were first surprised, then envious. How could they not be envious? Everyone's eyes were looking at Aunt Shen.

Just now, Aunt Shen was wearing the fifth-grade destiny costume, and she looked more and more calm and solemn. When facing the frequent congratulations from everyone, she looked shy and looked very unnatural.

Mu Ningxue shook her head slightly in her heart, unable to figure out why Qianqian wanted to do this? Fortunately, she was not worried that her brother would dare to bully her, so she understood after a little thought.

Du Qianqian smiled and said, "Hurry up to all wives."

Aunt Shen hurried over, Xu Qinglian smiled and said congratulations, and Mu Ningxue also said, "Congratulations."

Du Qianqian said to Hongwen again: "Come and kowtow to your aunt."

"yes."

Hongwen was reluctant. Just as she was about to kneel down, Aunt Shen grabbed her and said, "Good sister, stop making trouble for me. We are sisters. What's the difference?"

"Tsk!" Most women stretched out their middle fingers in their hearts at the same time and scolded their aunt for being hypocritical.

In this way, under the attention of the women with their own thoughts, the two of them were in harmony and faced each other with blessings.

Du Qianqian smiled with relief. She knew that Aunt Shen was a person who was right and said that, so she praised her. However, Hongwen's girl was probably not convinced.

She said slowly: "In recent years, I have been in poor health, and I have to worry about the affairs of the Good Hall, and I have to accompany the master to return to Yunnan. The trivial matters in the capital will inevitably be slackened. From now on, the whole house will be renamed Grandma Shen. If anyone does not obey my words, I will immediately chase them. I have to hand over all the affairs of Grandma Shen. If you have any matters, just go back to Grandma. If anyone despises or dissatisfies, he will deal with them immediately. Have you heard clearly?"

Amid the echoes of the maids and mothers of the Mu family, Aunt Chen completely established the position of the second wife of the family.

Mu Ningxue became more and more innocent. Her younger brother will return to Yunnan next year and Lanxiang will marry. Her mother is old, so Qianqian will give up Aunt Chen with all her strength. Otherwise, Auntie would manage the Mu Mansion in the capital alone, which would be unreasonable. Hongwen would naturally go to Yunnan, one to serve the master and the other to help with the work.

This reason is legitimate. Aunt Chen gave birth to a son, her temperament has always been praised and her family background is innocent, which is comparable to Zhenqing. At present, Mu Ningxue, Xu Qinglian, Xu Bitao and others' expressions have improved. Otherwise, just as Mu Ang was worried that day, this head would have to cause a series of troubles.

Even so, Xiao Yushi and Zhiqing and others who were concubines were still envious and jealous. They knew that they could not be like Aunt Shen, so they quickly parted in disagreement.

The tourists outside kept playing until nearly four o'clock in the morning, and the cruise ship gradually drove away. Since the women were all indifferent, Zhang Fu also ordered the boatman to slowly release the ten ships and then quietly disappear into the night.

When we arrived at Xiaodong Gate, there were military officers guarding the city gates, but they did not close the city gate today. We got on the pier and went ashore. After a lot of trouble, it was already morning, and there were endless pedestrians coming and going on the shore.

While waiting for the women to take the bus, Xu Hao looked at the tea-filled reed tent built outside the city, and four bamboo silk lanterns that "come tea" were hung on the pole. Many people were helping the elderly and young to go up the mountain to incense. Some people stood in front of the tea shed to quench their thirst, and some people who came back were tired of walking. The family bought a few melons on the floor, or asked for a pot of tea and started eating dry food.

After watching for a while, the convoy slowly started, and then Xu Hao withdrew his gaze and got into a car casually.

Yisou Garden.

Xu Yu and Mu Lingxia were walking in the back mountain. There was an open space on the hillside and two old rattan chairs under the ancient rattan rack. Sitting there, you could see the Fugui Mountain named by Emperor Taizu.

The terrain of Fugui Mountain is crucial to Jinling, so the city wall is particularly thick. Mu Lingxia walked over and sat down...

Xu Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "You always do this. You have to come to this place where there is no one. It is inconvenient to ask for tea and snacks."

Mu Lingxia smiled and said, "Are you here for a walk? Or come to have tea and snacks? If you want to eat snacks, I won't say anything."

"I'm not a spoiled person." Xu Yu also sat down, faced the mountain wind blowing, and smiled: "What a wind, so comfortable."

"After all, the young master of the wealthy family." Mu Lingxia smiled and raised her hand to point at the soldiers on Fugui Mountain. "Look at those soldiers, who have been standing here every day for 360 days, no matter the wind blows and rain. Today, there is wind, and they don't say anything comfortable. I don't think they care whether the wind is good or not, whether the weather is good. If they can go to your kitchen and smell the fragrance of meat, they may say they feel comfortable, right?"

"Why don't I eat meat minced when you're just making a joke!" Xu Yu smiled, "Look, you, like those radical people, also oppose feudal society. Let me tell you the truth, my father once said that the environment of this world seems to be evolving towards capitalism. In fact, capital society is not a good thing, or even crueler, but if you don't move forward, you will fall behind and be beaten. Otherwise, can we find one too?"

"You should go with Sister Lan Xiang, Sister Mingzhi and the others."

Mu Lingxia smiled pursed her lips. She had no interest in discussing what capitalism is, and she was just expressing her feelings.

At that moment, he held his sweat towel with his little hand and held his left cheek, looking at the Fugui Mountain more than 80 meters high. Because the southern foot of Fugui Mountain is the Royal Cemetery of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, where Emperor Kang, Emperor Jianwen, Emperor Xiaowu and Emperor Gong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were buried.

The singing and dancing of Wulings change the dust, and the underground gold is high-tech.

The stele has already filled the green grass and died, and the sour wind blows the stone qilin.

This is a poem written by Su Jian in the Song Dynasty when he visited the cemetery. Today, the Dongling Mausoleum has been newly repaired.

Seeing that she stopped talking, Xu Yu also looked over. He saw that the winding city wall was majestic, and every other section was erected, dancing in the wind. The trees that were cut down inside and outside were replanted in recent years. The wind blew the leaves and rustled, and the green grass all over the mountains was two or three feet long.

Most of the small trees in the grass have just passed the top of the grass, and birds are circling in the sky, and the sound of insects deep in the grass is rising one after another, giving a lively scene.

Mu Lingxia picked a wild flower, raised it to her eyes and looked at it, and smiled and said, "When autumn comes, the leaves turn yellow and fall down one after another, just like this flower. When we come, the scenery is probably desolate and bleak. Isn't this the same thing for a person's life?"

"So I often say that young people should have fun in time," Xu Yu said, "so I don't want to do the imperial examination, but you don't agree with my ideas, and it's considered a failure."

Mu Lingxia couldn't help but smile and said, "No, right. What we agree with is to enjoy timely fun, such as watching flowers and moon, traveling around mountains and rivers, sad about the sorrow of spring and autumn, and writing poetry collections. In short, don't let down the great years. The fun of Xu Er Gongzi is that he wishes that all the girls will accompany you all day long, the better, just like the emperor in the palace, who ignores the old age and death of the palace maids. Fortunately, it's not because of eating, drinking, gambling, I don't hate it."

"I always feel that you have read too much, and some places have to restrain yourself." Xu Yu turned his head and looked at her, "You should live for a few more years. Don't think about this and that. Although I'm childish, you are a little pedantic."

"Is that right?" Mu Lingxia's eyes rose a little confused. She was silent for a while, and slowly said: "I don't want to say some things, I."

"Let's go!" Xu Yu had long discovered that there was an incomprehensible haze on her body, which was different from others, and seemed to have some indescribable hiddenness.

"Let's continue walking and talk while walking, it's even more interesting." Xu Yu didn't ask whether he agreed or not, picked up her flower paper umbrella and spread it upwards.

Mu Lingxia had no choice but to stand up, tidy up her lower clothes, and smiled and said, "Actually, it's good to sit down, I'm a little afraid of being tired."

Xu Yu stretched out an arm, his eyes full of doting, "There is no one here. If you don't dislike me, please support me." As he said that, he blocked the sunshine for Ling Xia.

"Yeah!" Mu Lingxia's eyes suddenly turned slightly red. It was the first time that she had felt the care from her brother when she grew up. The feeling of being cared for by others was indescribable, and she also felt that the other party did not have any distractions.

So she stretched out her hand without hesitation, boldly took Xu Yu's arm, and a smile bloomed.

At that moment, the brother and sister walked slowly down the hillside under a flower umbrella. The green trees and grass were everywhere, like a picture, with wild flowers blooming everywhere, yellow and purple, and small flowers with balls of flowers, even though they are not famous flowers, they are also beautiful and charming.

Colorful butterflies, green grasshoppers, and yellow furry dragonflies fly in the sun in the wind, and there is a clear and spiritual aura on the mountain.

Mu Lingxia said, "If you smell it, how good the fragrance here is? No matter how well the house is built, there is no way to get the natural scenery. You have everything in your house, so why not build a villa in the mountains?"

Xu Yu laughed and said, "Why aren't there? There are several nearby, but now they are all given away."

"Huh?" Mu Lingxia said in confusion: "Why did you build a house and give it away?"

Xu Yu smiled and said, "I want to say it out, you are going to accuse my family of squandering again."

"Are you still afraid that I will blame me?" Mu Lingxia sneered, "I found that no matter what I say recently, you always have to ban me first. It's outrageous! Okay, tell me why I want to give the house to someone?"

Xu Yu smiled and explained: "There were many villas around this place, and there were more than 100 rooms alone, and one yard and a garden. Later, my family found that the cost was quite large. You think each villa had to have at least two chefs, two updaters, two poor listeners, and one gardener. Things are often damaged in all seasons, so I always have to make up for it. So my father said, "

Mu Lingxia said regretfully: "With your family's financial resources, it's just a drop in the bucket, and it's reasonable to maintain the cost."

"I haven't finished speaking yet." Xu Yu shrugged, "This place is not far from my house. At first, someone came to live there for a few days, and they felt bored. It was not as interesting as my family was in Mochou Lake and Xiaojia Village, so they didn't come anymore. Even if they walked to the back mountain, they would go back to the hillside just now.

It was nothing to leave the empty house for several years and let a few servants enjoy their blessings there. It was nothing, and the monthly expenses were only 180 taels of silver, but it was amazing after three to five years. What's more, they were leisurely and comfortable all year round, so what do others think? Therefore, my mother said to call people back and lock the door. But in this way, the house was left unattended, and the flowers and trees would die, and even the house was easily dilapidated. So some people said that it would be better to sell them all.

If you want to sell a house, it is a joke if someone misunderstood it and says that the Xu family is selling their industries? My father said, saying that everyone in the clan has an industry but it doesn’t count. These villas should be given to those who have a promising family. The children in the family can study quietly on the mountain."

"So that's it." Mu Lingxia smiled and said, "It's also a beautiful talk. Even your father is too generous."

"Haha!" Xu Yu suddenly laughed and said, "It's true that my father is generous, but the matter in this family is no longer up to him. This matter cannot pass the grandmother's level. In short, if these houses are damaged, they will all be repaired by those families."

Mu Lingxia opened her eyes wide and said, "So, isn't it because they live temporarily? That's the property of your Xu family?"

Xu Yu smiled and said, "Of course, I'm afraid no one dares to accept the Xu family's house for free."

"I don't think so." Mu Lingxia shook her head, "I have lived there for so many years, how can I be willing to return it to your house in the future? I haven't collected a penny of rent, so I'm afraid I will get entangled at that time."

Xu Yu said: "It shouldn't be too troublesome."

"Not necessarily." Mu Lingxia shook her head again, "If it were my housekeeper, she would advocate taking it back. Why should I live there for free? Really."

After saying that, he silently said again, lowered his head and walked forward. Xu Yu followed behind and said speechlessly: "You used to sympathize with the poor, why are you petty again?"

Mu Lingxia did not answer. Xu Yu now doesn't understand. Women are very clear about things. It is one thing to sympathize with the poor to do good deeds, and it is another thing to be taken advantage of by others. Even if a needle, a thread, a piece of grass and a tree are taken away by someone, they will be very angry.

Of course there is another reason why I can't say it. Just now Mu Lingxia subconsciously put herself into the future Xu family, that is, his wife, so she couldn't help but say the decision to take it back immediately.
