In terms of Xu Mingxu's age, it is of course too young to be an official.

However, his knowledge, even his insight into some aspects of people's livelihood, was considered outstanding in the Imperial College, which was different from students like Tu Hao who had obvious shortcomings.

As far as Mr. Qingfeng himself is concerned, he feels that keeping Xu Mingxu in the Imperial College for a year or two is a waste of his talent.

So, when the butcher took out this job vacancy, he agreed without much thought, because it was indeed a very good opportunity.

Of course Xu Mingxu also understands this, but: "If I take over that job, I won't be able to live in the Imperial College anymore." And I can't be with the little mouse every day like this.

Originally, when Tu Hao saw Xu Mingxu's worried look, he thought that something serious had happened. It turned out that he was going to work and he hadn't found a house to rent yet?He blinked his eyes, changed from lying flat to side sleeping, put his paws on the beautiful boy's body habitually, and asked, "Where is it in the suburbs of Beijing?"

Xu Mingxu was startled, and it took a while before he remembered: "Wanchunzhuang." He was reluctant to part with the little mouse here, why did the little mouse not look at him at all reluctantly?

Wanchunzhuang is considered a very famous location in the suburbs of Beijing. It is only an hour away from the capital by carriage, and it is faster to ride a horse.The land is fertile. Although it is not densely covered with river networks, there are two or three rivers of moderate size around it. It is considered the best estate boundary in the suburbs of Beijing.

Almost all the famous families in the capital have Zhuangzi in Wanchunzhuang.

The two largest of them, one is the Huangzhuang belonging to the Zhang family, and the other is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs, which is similar to the experimental fields of the Modern Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

The Tu family is an outsider, and there is no Zhuangzi in Wanchunzhuang.The small village that Tu Hao bought is not too far from Wanchun Village.

Tu Hao thought for a while and asked, "Then after taking office, brother, did he live in Wanchun Manor? Wanchun Manor provided accommodation, right?"

This time Xu Mingxu was stunned for a longer time, he simply bent down, hugged him even under the quilt, and said in a muffled voice: "Little mouse is worried that brother has no place to live?"

"Hmm." Otherwise, what are you worried about?

The child's eyes were black and white, but Xu Mingxu felt a little overwhelmed when he looked closely like this, and even felt guilty for not knowing why.He sat up straight again subconsciously, and stuffed the little mouse's hands into the thin quilt by the way: "Is the little mouse reluctant to part with brother?"

Roommates always go their separate ways.Tu Hao didn't quite understand, but soon came to his senses, and put his hand on the beautiful boy's lap again: "Brother, won't you come and see the little mouse?"

"Of course I'll come and see." Xu Mingxu replied without thinking, and then thought that the little mouse probably thought that he was going to be an official, maybe it's the same as he can't go home often because of his current stay?

Tu Hao saw that the expression on the beautiful boy's face was slightly relaxed, so he continued to pester him to ask about the Wanchun Village.

Xu Mingxu just learned something from Mr. Qingfeng, how can he know the specific situation?Although Tu Hao asked a lot of questions, Xu Mingxu also sorted out some rough things that needed preparation and attention.

However, Tu Hao's body was still useless, and he fell asleep after a while.

Only then did Xu Mingxu write a letter home, and asked Xiao Zhong to send the news back, telling him: "Just give it to my grandpa or grandma. If anyone else asks, just go back and start preparing things for the change of seasons."

The Xu family did not have their own tailor, so they had to hire someone to come to the house to cut clothes.He started to take care of the things in his own room last year. Although the servants' clothes are simple, the clothes of the people in this room can't be done every month.If other things are counted, it is not too early to start preparing now.

Where is there "other people" in the Xu family?Xiao Zhong understood, took over the errand immediately, and went back.

Although the job vacancy introduced by Mr. Qingfeng is really nothing in terms of rank, the salary is also low, and there is not much money; but being an official is not a trivial matter, and he can't just go there on his own. , have to tell the family.

What he was worried about at first was because he was ranked seventh, and none of the six older brothers had found a job yet, so how could it be his turn?It's different now, he has adopted to the second room, and there is no father on it, so it is naturally the grandfather who needs to be informed.

Of course, if the people in the big house found out, troubles would be inevitable.

Xu Mingxu's worry is not unreasonable.

After the old man and the old lady of the Xu family heard the news, on the one hand, they naturally felt the joy of our family having a baby who had just grown up, but on the other hand, they couldn't help but feel guilty.Xu Mingxu is their valued grandson, but the job vacancy was not contrived by his grandfather; even in order to avoid side effects, he could only press the news and not mention it.

The old lady of the Xu family could only use the name of changing seasons to take things from the private storage and buy some things for Xu Mingxu.

After all, the Liu family has been running the Xu family for a long time, and she knows something about the relationship between the old lady and the second bedroom.

Especially Xu Yingxin learned from the old lady to be a housekeeper during this time, so she heard a little bit.In front of the old lady, she dared not even say a word, but when she returned to her own mother, she immediately showed her displeasure on her face: "Mother, why do you think grandma is so nice to a little bastard? No Is it just something for changing seasons? I see that those who come and go cost hundreds of taels of silver. If I add a new look, I will be called extravagant by my grandma. Who is the concubine and who is the concubine? "

Liu Shi didn't dare to make small moves this year.In the end, she still has more control over the feeder at home.The old lady didn't completely dismiss her, and even helped her beat up a few concubines who didn't know the heights of the world; plus, her son was obviously better than before, and her daughter's marriage was also settled. Now she treats her mother-in-law very well More respect than ever.

The mother-in-law treated Xu Mingxu too well, so of course she was upset, but she couldn't say these words in front of her daughter: "Your prestige is worth nearly a hundred taels, don't tell me who are you talking about?" Mrs. Liu patted her daughter , "Also, did you say 'little bastard'? Think carefully about who you are scolding?"

If the son is a little bastard, isn't the father a big bastard? If you push it up and down, doesn't it mean that the Xu family are all bastards?

Xu Yingxin curled her lips: "I know I was wrong."

"I know it with my mouth, but I don't know if I know it in my heart?" Mrs. Liu glared angrily, "You, you are about to be engaged, so I will tell you this in front of my mother. I can't keep my mouth shut like this. Royal family and nobles like the Wang family probably have a lot of rules..."

Just as the two of them were talking, a servant girl hurried over: "Ma'am, it's not good!"

Liu's brows frowned: "What's the rush? What's the matter?"

This servant girl is Liu Shi's confidant, after she took a breath, she immediately lowered her voice and said: "The Wang family...the Wang family has hung a white banner, and the eighth son is gone."

"What?!" Upon hearing the words, Mrs. Liu jumped up, "Why did the Eighth Young Master die? Is the news true?"

The servant girl nodded again and again: "I dare not talk nonsense." But the specifics are not something that a servant girl like her can find out.

She is the person serving Liu's side, so of course she knows that the person the old lady proposed to the eldest girl is a child of the Wang family.Of course it's not the eighth son, but now that the Wang family is dead, I don't know if this marriage will change?

What a maid wants, of course Liu Shi and Xu Yingxin also want it.

Liu Shi waved her hand to let the servant girl go down, her brows furrowed even tighter.

Xu Ying was so angry that she sat down heavily on the chair: "Unlucky."

Although many people in the capital sought after the Eighth Young Master, Xu Yingxin especially disliked it.At the root of it, her own father is also such a dude, of course she knows what he looks like in her own family, and she can't like it even more.

The eighth son is the son of the Wang family's family, and she said that the object of marriage is the second son of the Wang family's third house.Although he is not as romantic as Hachiko, he can be considered upright and handsome, and there are no strange rumors, so she is satisfied in her heart.

But it doesn't matter that the eighth son died, but he died when she was about to get engaged, Xu Yingxin felt that this was simply embarrassing her!

Liu Shi lightly reprimanded: "Did you forget what I told you just now?"

Xu Yingxin snorted: "Isn't it just the two of us? Besides, the Eighth Young Master is doing well. How can you say that he died as soon as he died, and there is nothing strange in it?"

"Don't talk nonsense." After Liu Shi said it, she also felt a sudden shock in her heart.But with Hachiko's status, it doesn't mean he can be killed by someone, right?

Liu's side knew the news, and Mrs. Xu's side was not slow to find out.Of course, she was also concerned about Xu Yingxin's marriage. After she caught Mr. Xu back home, she said, "I think Eleven Lang of the Wang family is pretty good. Although a big girl can't be the head of the house after marrying, she is not like that." A good housekeeper. There is a good gate above it, which is just right. But now that bastard is such a thing... there is no problem here, right?"

Mr. Xu really doesn't know about this matter: "Whether there is a problem or not, we just don't know. Anyway, the marriage has not been settled yet, and I don't think the Wang family will come to propose marriage for a while, so let's take it easy. That's fine too."

The old lady Xu nodded and said, "Let me look at other people." Her son is too "famous", and it is really difficult to say about the children's marriage.

The eldest son's affairs from top to bottom were all bad, the old man didn't want to say anything, and instead asked: "Has Qilang decided to hold a teacher appreciation banquet?"

Speaking of Xu Mingxu, the old lady finally showed a smile on her face: "It's fixed, the third day of next month."

"The time is a little tight." The old man took off his official uniform and put on light and breathable regular clothes. "After this time, Qilang can be considered an adult. I think you don't have to wait until you are twenty, you can do it for him." It's the crowning ceremony. I just don't know if the butcher is willing to come and crown Qilang."

The old lady was helping him hang up the changed clothes, when she heard that she stopped her movements: "Butcher? Do you have friendship with him?"

The old man smiled smugly: "How can I have friendship with the butcher?" He is the prince and the prince, and he has the brand of the prince on his body, and he should avoid it with other courtiers, "It is Qilang himself who has the favor of the butcher." He just couldn't tell, if it wasn't for the fact that the daughter of the butcher's family was already engaged, he would have been eager to ask Xu Mingxu for such a marriage.

Alas, it's a pity that Qilang was born two years late.
