If Tu Hao's words were just mockery, then Xu Mingxu's words were plain mockery.

Although Xu Minglan is also a concubine, but his mother is powerful, and Xu Hongxuan is a hands-off shopkeeper.He is good-looking and has a sweet mouth. He has always been favored.Among the brothers, except for Xu Mingjie, the eldest son, he and the second child have not missed each other. Who among the younger ones has not been taught by him?Now he was beaten by an old seventh who never took it seriously?

It's the other way around!

Xu Minglan was about to roll up his sleeves, when Xu Mingjie said first, "Okay, third child, there are guests here, don't make people laugh at you." After he finished speaking, he smiled at Tu Hao, with a very friendly look, It seemed a bit stable and reliable, "Young master, don't care about my third child."

He didn't know Tu Hao.But if you think about it casually, you can know the general origin of the child.Xu Mingxu's biological mother's natal family has long since disappeared, and Xu Mingxu's own social circle is just that small.This child still came in a carriage. Although the porter said that he looked ordinary, could he be a child from an ordinary family?

He reckoned that this child should be Xu Mingxu's younger brother from a classmate in the Imperial College or something.Guozijian... He originally thought that he could get in no matter what, and he had done a lot of homework. The people there almost didn't care whether the family was rich or not, the key was whether the homework was good enough.Among the family, the number of places that can be sent in is limited, and undoubtedly not all of them are outstanding children.In short, no one to mess with.

As the seventh younger brother, he seems to have a good network in the Guozijian, but he thought about it before.But so what?Whether Xu Mingxu is his concubine brother or cousin, he will always be the concubine of Xu's family, and the Xu family will always be his in the future.

Xu Minglan was just a little arrogant, but he was not stupid at all. When he heard the big brother with his eyes above his head posing like this, he was taken aback for a moment, then took two steps back, looking for a stool to sit on.But there is only so much space in the study room, the boss and the second have already sat down, there is no place for him at all.He suddenly sneered inwardly, but nothing could be seen on his face, and asked following Xu Mingjie's words: "Where is the little master's house?"

Xu Mingxu frowned, and looked at Tu Hao apologetically.He brought the little mouse over to play, not to let him go through these messy things, and ignored Xu Minglan, asking softly, "Is the little mouse sleepy? How about going to the next room to sleep for a while?"

Children sleep more, life is also regular.It's almost time to rest now.

Tu Hao was a little sleepy, but how could this make the beautiful boy fight alone?He shook his head: "Not sleepy." Then he complained softly, "These people are so strange."

In Xu's family, Mr. Xu's study is no more than half the size of a room.Xu Mingxu's study room was only the size of a palm, and the child's voice was clear and clear. The three brothers of the Xu family could hear it clearly, and they immediately twisted their faces.

Xu Minglan, who was the most frustrated, had already twisted her eyes so much that her eyes were no longer eyes and her nose was no longer her nose.

"Hey! You kid is asking you a good question, how do you talk?"

The little mouse pouted, turned around and lay on Xu Mingxu's shoulder: "Brother, I don't want to talk to dogs."

There has never been such a thing as brothers and sisters in the Xu family.Not to mention Xu Mingxu, even Xu Mingjie and Xu Mingfang couldn't help laughing.

Xu Mingfang still didn't forget to persuade: "My third child, why are you more serious than a child?" Then he said to Tu Hao, "Who are you brother? Maybe I still know him." The circle in the capital is only that big, and now They are at the age when they are active. There are always many activities, such as flower festivals, tea parties, poetry parties, regardless of whether they will be held or not.Although the small circles are different in their own way, almost all the boys and girls of the right age in the circle will be present at the larger events held by the elders of some people.When he said he knew each other, it was really not a lie, but he just said that he hadn't said anything, that's another matter.

Tu Hao was too young to participate in such activities.His mother passed away early, and it was inconvenient for him to be dragged by Grandma Ye.At this moment, he pretended to be a curious child and asked, "Oh, my brother's name is Zheng Yun. What's your name?" For a moment, I couldn't remember what his last name was.

Xu Mingxu didn't speak when he heard that he moved his cousin out.He lives in the same room with Xu Mingxu, and he and Zheng Yun can be regarded as nodding acquaintances.These cousins ​​are not the same husband, they have a big age difference, and they can't talk to each other... Oh, no, they bicker when they meet, and each wins and loses.The most usual communication is to give each other some food and play.However, the two cousins ​​have a good relationship, which can be seen.

Zheng Yun was slightly older than Xu Mingjie and the others by a year or two, and she belonged to other people's children through and through.Most of the playboys of their age in the capital live under the shadow of Zheng Yun.

Zheng Yun is very good-looking, very smart at school, good-natured, and not dull. Almost everyone is optimistic about the future of the dynasty.The key is that the mother-in-law is Princess Lanyang, the younger sister of the first mother, a real relative of the emperor.To put it bluntly, his style is different from those of officials' children.

If it was someone else, Xu Mingfang would still dare to talk about it, but Zheng Yun...he didn't dare.

The Zheng family is not easy to mess with.

As soon as Zheng Yun's name came out, not to mention Xu Mingfang, even Xu Mingjie was a little embarrassed, and turned to look serious, and asked Xu Mingxu: "Seventh brother, in fact, we came here today to talk to you about something."

"Brother, please tell me." Say it, he is listening.Anyway, it will definitely not be a good thing, he must go in one ear and out the other.

After Tu Hao pulled his cousin's flag and came out, he didn't ask any further questions, and obediently cleaned up the game sticks on the table, and started another game!

The game sticks were collected into a bunch, and then fell down with a clatter.

Xu Mingjie lost his temper by Tu Hao, so he could only put on a serious face like a father to Xu Mingxu: "Brother Wei came to you this time because of the matter of the Nuan Pavilion."

Xu Mingxu looked at Tu Hao's various little actions with amused expression, grabbed his tricky hand, and replaced it with his own, while answering: "What's wrong with the Nuan Pavilion?"

"The Nuan Pavilion is naturally good, but it will inevitably require a lot of construction work." When Xu Mingjie said this, he was really envious, "Now the seventh brother is enjoying it. But the mother and several aunts and sisters are delicate and weak. Frozen sick."

Before Xu Mingxu tossed about the earth dragon, he said all the benefits and costs of it.In the end, Mrs. Liu did not agree to the major changes, only Xu Mingxu, who is now the second roommate, could not control her;Only two places were changed.

In fact, it is reasonable for Mrs. Liu to disagree with this matter.Changing one or two places like Xu Mingxu's here is just a small change, and the place is big, so he can live in another yard at other times.

But when it was changed to the big house, Xu Hongxuan had many wives, concubines and children, so he couldn't just change one place.But how much would it cost to change everything?This is not something that can be done with two or three hundred taels of silver, and it is not realistic to light fires in each small courtyard separately.

However, when the weather cools down, two or three braziers are placed in the room, which is completely incomparable with the warm pavilion covered with earth dragons.Especially the girls in the family, even Xu Hongxuan's wives and concubines, felt that the fuss was unbearable.But now it is winter, not to mention that there is no way to break ground, even the craftsmen have nowhere to find it.

So now things are simple.There are only two warm pavilions in the house, so of course the old man can't move there.Xu Mingxu here... Heh, Xu Mingxu is nothing!

Xu Mingjie was concerned about "Zheng Yun's younger brother", so he had to talk to Xu Mingxu in circles, but the conclusion is that, if you are sensible, move your nest quickly, or you will be beaten and thrown out.As for the warm pavilion here, the three brothers had discussed it before they came, as a lottery, whoever has the most ability will occupy this warm pavilion.Of course, it also includes the entire West Garden.

As for Xu Mingxu, hasn't his original small yard been tidied up?Besides, he doesn't live at home for a few days all year round, a quilt is enough.

But now there is Tu Hao inexplicably, at least before Tu Hao leaves, they can't make things so ugly.They always know the reason why family scandals cannot be publicized.Anyway, they don't need to bear it for long, this "young master of the Zheng family" will definitely leave soon.

Tu Hao really didn't stay for long. After a while, he discussed with Xu Mingxu: "Shall I come to play with my brother tomorrow?"

Xu Mingxu readily agreed: "Okay."

When the three Xu Mingjie brothers heard such an agreement, they felt a little bit embarrassed.But they hold a mentality of "you come tomorrow if you have the ability, and you come every day if you have the ability". At most, after the fifteenth day, Xu Mingxu will live in the Imperial College, and then the whole Xiyuan will not be what they want to do. ?

However, this kind of thinking only lasted until he left the Xiyuan Gate.There were distinguished guests, and they came out after talking about things, and they all felt a little resentful.

A team of health servants stood guard at the door. When they saw the three of them, they couldn't help covering their mouths and tied their hands and feet with cloth strips. Walked to the Buddhist hall.

The old lady of the Xu family is a very... impious believer.The decoration of the Buddhist hall at home is more important than its function.For the children in the family, the Buddhist hall has another function. Whenever the children make mistakes, they will come to the Buddhist hall to be punished.The light ones are copying the family rules, and the more serious ones are the family rules.

They were carried all the way over, their eyes were not blindfolded, but none of them were seen.There are so many servants in the Xu family on weekdays, it is obvious that they have been transferred.Such handwriting can only be done by old ladies.Liu's can't do it.So now they don't even have a tip-offer, let alone bring in any reinforcements.

Three brothers kneel on three futons.

"It's Chinese New Year, why do things always have to be noisy? But it's okay, it's lively." The old lady sat on the chair at the top with a kind face on her face. As she said, she took out a cane that was as thick as a thumb and as long as a foot. .

The rattan patina is red and shiny, obviously because it has been used and maintained for a long time.This is the Xu family's family law.

The old lady handed the family law to the healthy servant beside her, and ordered: "First, each person will smoke at thirty, and be more careful."
