Dismounting from his horse, Xu Baomo couldn't help lamenting the ups and downs of being away from home for many days. Dozens of figures with colorful flowers and willows suddenly rushed out from around the mansion, immediately surrounding him!
This sudden scene shocked both the master and the servant. Xu Cong almost shouted "There is an assassin" - he simply saw in time that there were several charming and charming faces in the crowd that were very familiar to him: for example, the eldest son of his family " Miss Xixi who was moved by "being approachable, gentle and considerate"; another example is Miss Ningqing who recommended herself as a pillow mat because she was so moved by Xu Baomo that she named herself with plum branches; "The lost jade pendant led to a girl who was closely tied to a thousand-mile marriage...
When Xu Cong silently shut up, these people had already passed him, scrambling to grab Xu Baomo, and then the entire door of Xu's house was filled with the sounds of warblers and occasional sobs -
"Your Majesty is so cruel! When he lied to us, he swore that he would never change his mind in this life, but then he disappeared for several months! The sisters are getting haggard by the wait, and their hearts are about to be broken!"
"Xu Lang! You... you are back! Do you know that when you left, you took my heart with you? If I had known you were so cruel and ruthless, I really shouldn't have picked up that jade pendant back then!! !”
"Mr. Lang once said that although there is no word 'plum' in the girl's name, her temperament is like the cold fragrance and proud snow, which is comparable to that of ordinary women! So at the end of last year, someone tied plum branches in the courtyard into the girl's girl name... At that time Did the husband just turn around and forget the promise he made in front of the dressing table and under the acacia tent?!"
"I heard that the prince went out this time to seek to marry the future prince's wife?! Now that the prince is back, will he get married soon? People like the slave family are from humble backgrounds, so they don't dare to compare with the prince's wife! But people like the prince , it’s okay if we haven’t met, but if we meet in this life, what should we do in the future?”
Xu Baomo, who was completely submerged in the pile of makeup and powder, was stunned for a moment. The fatigue of traveling for days seemed to have disappeared, and his eyes suddenly lit up!
This is life!
This is the life he should have!
Hug left and right, surrounded by fat and thin birds, wives and concubines in groups, and love is everywhere in the world!
Although the beauties in front of me are not as delicate as Da Qiao, their temperament is not as pure as Da Qiao, and their background is incomparable to Da Qiao, but there is a saying that domestic flowers do not have the fragrance of wild flowers. No matter how good Da Qiao is, he will definitely get tired of it if he sees it too much. of!
But if he marries Sheng Weiqiao, not only will he not be able to keep these beauties, but the countless beauties he will meet in the future will only be looked at, no! In his father’s case, he couldn’t even watch it!
How terrible!
How painful!
How unfortunate!
Fortunately, he discovered the truth in time and escaped!
Wiping away the cold sweat, Xu Baomo skillfully put on the frivolous smile that a veteran of Huazong should have. He took the two most touching beauties crying and complaining into his arms, kissed them each, and said with a smile: " Sisters and sisters, don’t worry! Although I have been out for a while, I miss you all the time. When I come back today, after taking a short rest, I will come to your door one by one to bother you! When the time comes, I hope that my sisters will not stay behind closed doors. , This is what makes me think about beauty!"
"Your Majesty loves to lie! Last time, he said he would visit the slave family the next day, but the slave family waited and waited, from spring to now!"
Nowadays, the atmosphere is open, and most of these people are Goulan girls from Cangwu County. Naturally, they are very open-minded. They don't care about casting flirtatious glances left and right in broad daylight. "If the prince really has us sisters in his heart, unless he is now Just come with us!"
"That's right! Your Majesty, do you know that when I heard that you are finally back, Sister Xixi cooked the food herself and prepared a banquet for you, just waiting for you to come over!"
"Xu Lang used to go out to the city for hunting. The first thing he did after returning was to come to my place to freshen up and change his clothes. I wonder what Xu Lang's heart will be like when he returns this time... will it be the same as before?"
Xu Baomo likes to see a group of beauties surrounding him. Although he still remembers that he must tell his grandfather about Mr. Sheng's "marriage fraud" after returning from this trip, so as to dispel the idea of Mr. Xu marrying the Sheng family, he is ignored by many. Ying Yanyan was acting coquettishly around them, she couldn't control herself, so she couldn't help but stop, planning to have a good laugh with them before entering the house.
But he has provoked more than just fireworks women over the years—
During this time, Xu Cong, who was not surrounded, had already entered the mansion on his own. The mansion knew what happened at the door, and soon a group of maids in colorful clothes came out, led by a tall figure with slender eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, and a face. Fair and beautiful, there is a majesty hidden in the appearance. As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he shouted sharply: "Stop it! What kind of mess dares to get in front of my eldest son?!"
Without waiting for the beauties outside the door to fight back, the lady waved her hand and ordered the maid behind her to step forward to clear the way. She instantly changed into a gentle and virtuous face, and blessed Xu with a hug, saying affectionately: "Your Majesty, , I heard that you are coming back today, and your servant specially led Hatsutao, Chuxing and the others to stew a can of pheasant and old ginseng soup for you. The heat is just right now. Please go in and sit down quickly, and let your servant serve it for you. A bowl to relieve fatigue!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the slaves not only stewed the soup, but also specially made fresh sour plum drink! They have been hanging in the well since noon, and now it is not too iced and not too cold. Look at your side I’ll sweat all over my body, but I’m sure to take a sip and it’ll be so satisfying to my heart!”
"If the prince doesn't like sour plum drink, the slaves have also learned from the chef in the big kitchen about the five-spice drink to shrink the spleen and the lychee ointment water and snow-soaked plum blossom wine..."
"Oh, the clothes on the prince's body seem to be a bit short? I happened to make a whole set of new clothes for the prince. The prince will take a bath later, but he must quickly try to see if they fit!"
These are all Xu Baomo's personal maids. The first one is Chuli, who has been with Mr. Xu for many years. She has been serving him since she was seven or eight years old. The master and servant are childhood sweethearts. They promised to marry him a few years ago. When they get married, they will be officially accepted as aunts - Chuli therefore feels that she is half the owner of Xu Baomo's backyard before her living wife comes in. Previously, Xu Baomo went out to look for flowers and flowers, but she could not stop her, so she just refused. Now all these flowers and willows have caused Xu Baomo to make trouble. At the doorstep, do you think she is dead? !
However, although their group is fierce, how many of the people who are trying to make a living in the romantic field are good people
—If there is really a good thing, no one will come to Xu’s door to block people today!
That's why Chuli and his party arrived in front of Xu Baomo. Xixi and others had already separated them from Xu Baomo again with their bodies, and sneered: "Hey! Where did this noble person come from? What a grand pomp! I don't know. , I thought the prince had already gotten married, and the prince’s wife had come to find him!”
"They say we are a mess of people - we don't even look at ourselves. To put it bluntly, we are just scumbags who serve others! There is no owner in the husband's backyard. There really are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is the king!"
"What about pheasant and old ginseng soup, sour plum drink, five-spice drink and new clothes? I don't know where the face came from to openly say it in broad daylight - isn't the Xu family raising you just to serve Xu Lang?! What is your duty, actually I have the nerve to ask for credit! If my maid dared to be so frivolous and pretentious, I would have gone back to my mother and sent her back to the back to be a maidservant! In other words, I would bully the Xu family for their kindness, and the pure slaves would bully the master!"
Chuli and others were not willing to be outdone, and they pinched their waists and cursed back: "We welcome the crown prince back to the house, this is the pomp! You are such unworthy things, if the crown prince's wife has already passed through the door, before this gate Where is the place for you?!”
"Even if we serve people, we are doing it innocently. We are the servants of the imperial family!"
"It's not like you, with a pair of jade arms that can be used by thousands of people, and a pair of red lips that can be tasted by thousands of people! With someone like you in the family, even my ancestors would be ashamed to see anyone!"
In the end, Chuli used her trump card, looked around with her arms crossed, and sneered again and again, "The news of the prince's return has been reported to the palace, and now the old marquis and his wife are waiting in the back hall for the prince to come in to pay his respects! If I knew that the prince was being tripped up by you people, don't tell me , and you still want to let the prince go to those ghost places with you... Hehehehehe!"
Although the Xu family is not like the Sheng family, who became one of the most powerful families in the county through business, but because they became a marquis, their status in Cangwu County is still unmatched by anyone - and the temper of Xu Baoting, the old marquis, is different from that of Sheng. The old man’s violent temper is inherited from the same lineage!
So although Xixi and others were extremely unhappy, when they heard that Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xiahou were waiting for Xu Baomo, their expressions changed and they didn't dare to pester them any longer.
Of course, Chuli and the others were proud and proud, and when they escorted Xu Baomo into the house in triumph, they couldn't help but say a few harsh words such as "Let's fight another day."
"So my eldest son must find a magnanimous wife!" Xu Baomo thought in his heart as he entered the house reluctantly, "Now that my eldest son hasn't gotten married yet, they are so jealous because of me. They will be like this from now on. If we don’t have a real wife to mediate, then we can’t fight?”
But a moment later, when he arrived at the back hall, Mr. Xu smashed a tea bowl on his head as soon as he entered the door. He immediately had no time to think about these trivial matters, and quickly knelt down to apologize: "My grandson has been returning from the road for days. I'm afraid his appearance is not neat. There is something wrong with him." Because it hinders the view of my grandparents, I specially cleaned up in front of the door, so I am late, and I beg my grandfather to forgive me!"
"Take some time to clean up?!" Mr. Xu blew his beard and glared, slapped the red sandalwood curly grass pattern table with a "bang bang" sound, and roared, "You think I'm deaf, right?! If the maid hadn't mentioned that I was talking to Your grandmother, I’m afraid you’ve already followed those shameless sluts! You dare to prevaricate me about something right at your doorstep!!!”
"Grandfather, my grandson has been wronged!" Xu Baomo screamed secretly, hurriedly took a few steps forward, and said sincerely, "Grandpa, my grandson doesn't know why they knew that my grandson was coming back today, but they blocked people at the door - With so many people watching, my grandson is a man, so he can't be violent with a group of women in public, so he has to deal with it. Those actions just now were really not what he wanted!"
As he spoke, he winked at his grandmother, Mrs. Xiahou, hoping that her grandmother could help out for the sake of the long-standing relationship between grandparents and grandchildren.
Mrs. Xiahou did not disappoint him. She rolled her eyes at Mr. Xu in displeasure: "The child suddenly came back in a hurry. Something must have happened! We will discuss the disturbance at the door later. Let him deal with it first." We’ve already said what happened! Isn’t that why we dropped everything and came here in a hurry?”
Although Mr. Xu has a bad temper, he is still very considerate to his old wife Xiahou, whom he has supported all the way when he was young. At this time, Mrs. Xiahou spoke. Although he glared at Xu Baomo, he was still very unkind. In the end, he didn't continue to report the case, and just said: "You don't know what Brother Sheng is like? If he knows the true face of this kid, it means that it is impossible for him to promise his granddaughter to our home! Nothing will happen today. Once the Sheng family finds out, with the good news this boy brings back, things may change!"
After saying these words, he raised his chin towards Xu Baomo, "You suddenly came back, but the matter is already done?"
"Grandpa, we were deceived!!!" Ever since he discovered Sheng Weiqiao's "true face", this sentence has been lingering in Xu Baomo's mind repeatedly. After the fermentation along the way, he didn't need time to brew his emotions. He immediately He threw himself in front of Mr. Xu, and finished talking about his experience in the Sheng family with snot and tears. At the end, he complained, "What Mr. Sheng said is that Da Qiao is beautiful, gentle, virtuous, and polite. He is simply talented, beautiful, capable, and virtuous." Extraordinary talent! As a result, my grandson went back to Sheng Mansion to stay for a while and got to know Da Qiao personally. Apart from being beautiful, she was not gentle or virtuous at all! She was also very jealous and would always help her future husband to get married early. Death! If my grandson hadn't reacted quickly and immediately found an excuse to run back when something was wrong, if he was forced to marry by the Sheng Mansion, then... the consequences would be unimaginable! "
Speaking of this, looking at the expressions of Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xiahou looking at each other, Xu Baomo wiped away his tears and said hopefully, "Grandpa, this marriage is absolutely impossible! So what happened at the gate just now, Yisun My son said, it’s better to let the Sheng family know!”
