Both men and women meet up with companions, half to burn incense and half to play. ¨J, The mountains are green and lush, the clouds are rising and falling, the water is rippling and the moon is full of blessings. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: Qixia welcomes gods and men to gather together, and the prosperity of Jinling City still belongs to it. The golden crow fell to the west, and on the calm river, all the cruise ships, large and small, were lit with candles. The light from strings of lanterns reflected the water, like thousands of rays of rays of light, shining brightly. The bonfires on the shore gradually extinguished, and flutes and pipas were played on some boats. Amidst the melodious music, countless banquets were set up on the shore on the ship, and people playing guessing and playing games were everywhere. They walked around among each other and went to other people's tables to toast and toast. In the villa, after the banquet was over, Du Qianqian said to everyone: "I invited Gaofeng here yesterday. This is the first big happy event in her life, so it must be lively. I will be the host tomorrow and let the relatives Everyone knows." As soon as these words came out, Xu Qinglian, Mu Ningxue and others were stunned. No one thought that what Mu Ang and his wife said that day were actually true, and they couldn't help but look at each other. Generally speaking, most of these cases are caused by the fact that the main wife has no heirs, or the main wife is weak and sick, or is old, or the concubine has made great contributions to the family, or her mother's family is prosperous, or she is really virtuous. In short, it is a matter of This 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 extraordinary significance. If Du Qianqian's position was not stable, they would all doubt whether she, like the queen, was in danger of being ignored by her husband. Xu Hao never thought about using this to repay his women. The imperial edict is not just a big pot of rice. Everyone can get one. Of course, after death, the imperial edict can be given as a posthumous gift. The concubines in the room were very surprised at first, and then extremely envious. How could they not be envious? Everyone looked at Aunt Shen. " I saw that Aunt Shen was wearing the fifth-grade life wife's clothes at the moment, and she looked more and more calm and solemn. Facing the frequent congratulations from everyone, she looked shy and looked very unnatural. Mu Ningxue shook her head slightly in her heart, wondering why Qianqian would do this? Fortunately, she was not worried that her younger brother would dare to bully her, and she understood it after a little thought. Du Qianqian smiled and said: "Hurry up and salute you ladies." Aunt Shen hurriedly came over, Xu Qinglian smiled and said congratulations, Mu Ningxue also said: "Congratulations." Du Qianqian said to Hongwen again: "Come here. "Kowtow to Auntie." "Yes." Hongwen was reluctant and just about to kneel down. Aunt Shen grabbed her and said, "Good sister, don't make trouble with me. We are sisters. What's the matter?" What's the difference?" "Tsk!" Most of the women raised their middle fingers in their hearts at the same time and scolded their aunt for being hypocritical. In this way, under the thoughtful gazes of the women, the two of them looked harmonious and blessed each other. Du Qianqian smiled happily. She knew that Aunt Shen was a person who meant what she said, so she promoted her, but that girl Hongwen would most likely not be convinced. She said slowly: "In recent years, I have been in poor health, and I have to worry about the Shantang affairs. I also have to accompany the master back to Yunnan, so I have to slack off on the trivial matters here in the capital. From now on, the entire Mu family will be called Grandma Shen. Anyone who disobeys me will be expelled immediately. I have entrusted Grandma Shen to take care of all matters in the house. If you have any problems, just go back to grandma. If you are disobedient, you will be punished immediately. Please listen carefully. Are you gone?" Amid the echoes of the Mu family's maids and mothers-in-law, Aunt Shen has completely established her status as the second wife of the family. , Mu Ningxue understands more and more that her younger brother will return to Yunnan next year, Lan Xiang will also marry, and her mother is old, so Qianqian will try her best to promote Aunt Shen. Otherwise, Aunt Shen will manage Prince Mu's Mansion in the capital by herself, and her reputation will not be justified. . Hongwen will naturally follow him to Yunnan, firstly to serve the master, and secondly to help with work. This reason is justifiable, Aunt Shen gave birth to a son, her temperament has always been praised by others, and her family background is also pure, which is incomparable to Zhenqing. At that moment, the faces of Mu Ningxue, Xu Qinglian, Xu Bitao and others all improved. Otherwise, as Mu Ang feared that day, this would cause a series of troubles. Even so, Xiao Yushi, Zhiqing and others who were concubines could not help but feel envious and envious. They knew that they could not be like Aunt Shen, so they soon separated on bad terms. The tourists outside continued to play until nearly the fourth watch, and the cruise ship gradually left. Since the female family members were all in low spirits, Zhang Fu also ordered the boatman to slowly release the ten boats, and then quietly disappeared into the night. When we arrived at the small east gate, there were military attach¨¦s and soldiers guarding it. The gate was not closed today. After landing at the pier, after some hard work, it was already morning and there was an endless stream of people coming and going on the shore. While waiting for the female family members to board the car, Xu Hao looked at the tea canopy being built outside the city. Four bamboo silk lanterns with "widening tea connections" were hung on the poles. Many people, old and young, were preparing to go up the mountain to offer incense. People stood in front of the tea shed to drink tea to quench their thirst, and some people came backTired of walking, the family sat on the ground and bought a few melons, or ordered a pot of tea and ate dry food. After watching for a while, the convoy slowly started moving. Xu Hao then looked away and got into a car casually. A millet garden. Xu Yu and Mu Lingxia were walking in the back mountain. There was an open space on the hillside. There were two old rattan chairs under the old rattan shelf. Sitting there, you could see Fugui Mountain named after Emperor Taizu. The terrain of Fugui Mountain is very important to Jinling, so the city walls are extra thick. Mu Lingxia walked over and sat down Xu Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "You are always like this, insisting on being here where there is no one." It's not convenient to come here for tea or snacks." Mu Lingxia smiled and said, "Are you here for a walk? Or are you here to drink tea and have snacks? If you want to have snacks, I won't say that. "I'm not a squeamish person." Xu Yu also sat down, facing the mountain breeze, and said with a smile: "It's so comfortable, after all." Mu Lingxia smiled. He raised his hand and pointed at the soldiers on Fugui Mountain, "Look at those soldiers, they have stood and sat here every day for three hundred and sixty days, no matter the wind or rain. It was windy today, and I didn't see them say a word of comfort. I don't think they would." I don¡¯t care if the wind is good or the weather is good. If I can go to your kitchen and smell the meat, I¡¯m afraid they will say it¡¯s comfortable?¡± ¡°You¡¯re making a roundabout joke, why don¡¯t I eat minced meat!¡± Xu Yu smiled and said, "I see that you, like those radical people, are also against feudal society. To tell you the truth, my father once said that the world's general environment seems to be evolving toward capitalism. In fact, capital society is not a good thing. Even It's more cruel, but if you don't move forward, you will fall behind and be beaten. How about we find a solution?" "You should go with Sister Lanxiang and Sister Mingzhi." Mu Lingxia pursed her lips and said what she wanted to discuss. I have no interest in capitalism, and what I just said was just a reflection. At the moment, holding the sweat towel in his little hand, holding his left cheek, he stared at the Fugui Mountain, which is 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 the Wuling Mausoleum exchange for dust, and the underground gold yields new highs. The inscriptions on the stele are covered with green grass and dead, and the sour wind blows away the stone unicorns. This is a poem written by Su Jian during the Song Dynasty when he was looking for the cemetery. Today, the Dongling Tomb has been renovated. Seeing that she was no longer talking, Xu Yu also looked over and saw the majestic winding city wall, with Ming war flags erected at every other section, dancing in the wind. The trees that were cut down inside and outside back then have been replanted with various fruit trees in recent years. The wind blows the leaves, making a rustling sound, and the green grass all over the mountains and plains is two or three feet long. Most of the small trees in the grass are just above the top of the grass, birds are circling in the sky, and the sounds of insects deep in the grass are coming and going, creating a lively scene. Mu Lingxia picked a wild flower, raised it to her eyes, looked at it, and said with a smile: "When autumn comes, the leaves will turn yellow and fall one after another, just like this flower. When I came here at that time, the scenery would probably be desolate and bleak, and the people would Isn't it like this in my life?" "So I often say that young people should enjoy themselves in time." Xu Yu said, "That's why I don't want to do anything in the imperial examination, but you don't agree with my idea and think it is a useless move. " Mu Lingxia couldn't help but laugh and said: "No, no. We agree with the timely pleasures, such as watching flowers and admiring the moon, traveling around mountains and rivers, grieving the spring and autumn, and writing poems. In short, don't let Mr. Xu live up to his good years. For your pleasure, you wish all the girls would accompany you all day long. The more lively the better, just like the emperor in the palace, he didn't care about the palace maiden dying of old age. Fortunately, it wasn't about eating, drinking, whoring, or gambling, and he didn't let me do it. "I always feel that you have read too much and have to restrain yourself in some places." Xu Yu turned to look at her, "You should really stay here for a few more years. Don't think about this or that. I am childish." , you are a bit pedantic." "Really?" Mu Lingxia's eyes were filled with confusion, and she was silent for a while, then slowly said: "There are some things I don't want to say, I." "Let's go!" Xu Yu had already said. I found that there was an incomprehensible haze about her, which was different from the others, as if there was something unspeakable. "Let's continue walking and talk while walking. It will be more interesting." Xu Yu picked up her floral paper umbrella and opened it up without asking whether she agreed. Mu Lingxia had no choice but to stand up, straighten her clothes, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's good to sit down, I'm a little afraid of getting tired." Xu Yu stretched out an arm, his eyes full of doting, "There is no one here, if you don't If you don't like it, just support me." He said and gave Ling Xia the flower umbrella to block the sun. "Well!" The corners of Mu Lingxia's eyes suddenly turned slightly red. It was the first time in her life that she felt the care and concern from her brother. This feeling of being cared for by someone was indescribable, and she also felt that the other party did not have any distracting thoughts. So she readily reached out her hand without hesitation, boldly took Xu Yu's arm, and smiled broadly. At the moment, the brother and sister were walking side by side under a flower umbrella, slowly walking down the hillside.There are green trees and grass everywhere, just like a picture, and wild flowers are blooming everywhere, yellow and purple, small balls of flowers, although they are not famous flowers, they are still beautiful and moving. ?Colorful butterflies, green grasshoppers, and yellow dragonflies are flying in the wind and under the sun, and there is a refreshing atmosphere on the mountain. Mu Lingxia said: "Smell it, how good is the fragrance here? No matter how well-built the house is, there is no way to get the natural scenery. You have everything in your house, why not build a villa in the mountains?" Xu Yu Shi smiled and said, "Why not? There are several houses nearby, but they are all given away now." "Huh?" Mu Lingxia said in confusion: "Why did you build a house and give it away instead?" Xu Yu smiled and said, "If I tell you, you will accuse my family of squandering again." "Are you still afraid of my accusations?" Mu Lingxia sneered, "I find that no matter what I say recently, you always say You have to give me a sentence first, how unreasonable! Okay, tell me why you want to give the house away?" Xu Yu explained with a smile: "Many other courtyards were built around here, with more than a hundred houses alone, and one courtyard has more than 100 houses. We brought a garden. Later we found out that it was quite expensive. You need to have at least two cooks, two watchmen, two footmen, and a gardener in each house. Things are often damaged throughout the seasons and must be replenished, so my father said. Then give it away." Mu Lingxia said regretfully: "With your family's financial resources, it is only a drop in the bucket, not to mention that the maintenance expenses are reasonable." "I haven't finished yet," Xu Yu shrugged, "It's so far away. My home is neither far nor close. At first, people came to stay for a few days, but they felt bored and not as interesting as my family in Mochou Lake and Xiaojia Village, so they stopped coming even if they took a walk to the back mountain. The hillside just now has gone back. It¡¯s okay to leave the house empty for several years and let a few servants enjoy the blessings there. The monthly expenses are only one hundred and eighty taels, but after three to five years, But it's amazing. What's more, they have been enjoying themselves all year round. What do other people think? So my mother said to call the people back and lock the door. But if this happens, the house will be left unattended, and the flowers and trees will be very clean, even the house. It is easy to become dilapidated, so some people said, "It is a matter of dignity if you want to sell the house. If people misunderstand it, wouldn't it be a joke to say that the Xu family is selling off their property?" My father then made a statement and said that everyone in the clan has it. Not counting property, these villas should be given to those families who are promising, so that their children can study and study in peace in the mountains. " "That's it," Mu Lingxia said with a smile, "It's also a good story, it's your father. "It's too generous." "Haha!" Xu Yu suddenly laughed and said: "My father is generous, but he has no final say in the affairs of the family. This matter cannot be dealt with by my grandmother. After all, if these houses are damaged, they will be repaired by those people." Mu Lingxia opened her eyes wide and said, "Then it means they are staying here temporarily, and the property belongs to your Xu family?" Xu Yu He smiled and said, "Of course, I'm afraid no one would dare to take the Xu family's house if it was given away for free." "I don't think so." Mu Lingxia shook her head, "I have lived here for so many years, how can I be willing to give it back to you in the future? ?I haven¡¯t collected a penny in rent, so I¡¯m afraid it will be troublesome.¡± Xu Yu said, ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be too troublesome.¡± ¡°Not necessarily. "Mu Lingxia shook her head again, "If I were the housekeeper, I would take it back. Why should I give it to others for nothing? Really. " After saying that, he remained silent again and walked forward with his head lowered. Xu Yu followed behind and said speechlessly: "You were sympathizing with the poor before, why are you so fussy about it again?" Mu Lingxia didn't answer. Now Xu Yu Yu will not understand that women distinguish things very clearly. It is one thing to sympathize with the poor and do good deeds, but it is another thing to be taken advantage of, even if a needle, a thread, a plant or a tree is taken away. , will also be very angry. Of course, there is another reason that cannot be said. Just now, Mu Lingxia subconsciously substituted herself into the future Xu Mansion's family member, that is, his wife, so she couldn't help but speak out her opinion. I decided to take it back immediately. Thinking about it now, my face feels hot. (To be continued)
