Huaiqing Mansion, Xu Mansion.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Mrs. Xu instructed several subordinates in the family early in the morning to turn around, and the lights were displayed everywhere in the house, which was very festive.

Mrs. Xu was in the room, listening to her daughter-in-law being in full swing outside, and couldn't help pouting: "I know every day that I spend money and toss blindly, and I don't use so much energy in the right place." ”

Old Man Xu rubbed the walnuts in his hands, his eyelids drooped openly, and said, "You don't have to be busy, you don't care if you're so tired." ”

"Can I do it? The family doesn't have much income all year round, and our family's money has to be saved to donate to Bingrong and used by Yihao to marry his daughter-in-law! Mrs. Xu said unhappily, "I can't count on her at the first half of the business, and I can't even grasp my own man's heart, so Bingrong is reluctant to go home every day." If it weren't for her giving birth to Yihao, I would have sent her back to her parents' house!

"Also, Yurou too, in previous years, I had to give more than 1,000 taels of silver to my family during the New Year, but this year I only gave 500, I didn't even write a letter, and I inexplicably asked Yihao to bring back several maids, what do you mean by her? I'm afraid that I didn't dislike me for sending Yihao over to eat her and drink hers, and deliberately angry with me, right? ”

As soon as this was mentioned, Old Man Xu was silent.

In fact, in the past six or seven years, the Xu family had a few dozen taels of silver all year round, and they lived a very nourishing life.

still beat her son-in-law Shen Zhonglei to become the prefect of Yongzhou Mansion, Xu Yurou's money gradually increased, and the money given to her mother's family was more than a year ago, from a few hundred taels at the beginning to more than a thousand taels of silver later.

People are like this, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

In the month of Layue, Mrs. Xu was still looking forward to Xu Yurou being able to send two thousand taels of silver to her mother's family this year, but she didn't expect Xu Yihao to bring back only five hundred taels in the end, so angry that she didn't have a happy whole childhood.

"Go back and wait for the weather to warm up, let her bring Yun Yao and Yuanlin back to live for a few days." Mrs. Xu has her own little abacus in her heart, Xu Yurou will not be empty-handed every time she returns to Ning, she will never lose her family, and she can also ask her why she has so little money this year.

Old Man Xu didn't want to continue this topic, looked at the sky outside and said, "It's all three poles in the day, why hasn't Yihao gotten up yet?" ”

Mrs. Xu immediately protected the calf and said, "Children are greedy, and there is nothing to do at home, so what's wrong with letting him sleep more." ”

Old Man Xu got up and said, "That's it, I'll go out for activities." ”

The two of them didn't know that Xu Yihao hadn't come home at all the night before, and was drooling from sleep on the jade arm of the girl in Baihualou at this moment!

When he was taking medicine to treat his illness in Yongzhou Mansion, he often felt that his heart was unbearable.

But because the doctor said that he couldn't do clouds and rain when taking medicine, he was afraid that he would not do anything in the future, so he could only endure it.

As soon as the ban was lifted after taking the medicine, Xu Yihao was like a hairy boy who had just opened meat, and he couldn't help but start to be restless in the carriage on the road.

I have to say that Imperial Doctor Liu really deserves to be the imperial doctor, and he has the ability.

This prescription not only cured Xu Yihao's inaction, but also made him last longer than before, which was simply an unexpected joy.

On the way, he could only follow a few maids from Xu's hands to mess around, so as soon as he returned to Huaiqing Mansion, Xu Yihao couldn't stay at home, and often stayed overnight in Baihualou, and the people next to him were not the same every day.

After curing the problem of not lifting, Xu Yihao felt that his majesty was far better than before, and the girls in Baihualou naturally coaxed him to say, making him more and more proud that he almost couldn't remember what his surname was.

"Master Xu, wake up, it's Shangyuan Festival today, and it's going to be noon, so you have to go home quickly."

Xu Yihao was awakened in a daze, he didn't listen to what the girl said at all, he stretched out his hand and hugged the person into his arms, and before his eyes opened, his hand had already touched the girl's belly pocket dishonestly.

"Oops......" The girl snorted, but still softened her body and let him move, "Xu, Xu Gongzi, you have been out these days, I'm afraid you haven't gone to make up for it secretly, really, it's really getting more and more brave......"

"What a stupid thing to say! With this body, at this age, do you still need tonic? After Xu Yihao finished speaking, he worked harder and harder.

When he finally vented, he rested lazily for a while, and then bathed and changed his clothes, and it was already past the time for lunch.

Xu Yihao simply ordered a table of wine and food in Baihualou, and called two girls who usually like the most to accompany him, eating and drinking comfortably, and only went home until it was almost dark.

Although he didn't go home all day, the whole family was still waiting for him to have dinner, but no one in the Xu family blamed him for half a sentence, and Mrs. Xu asked with a smile on her face: "Yihao is back, today's meals are all made according to your preferences, you see what else you want to eat, ask the cook to cook it for you." ”

Xu Yihao sat on the chair and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, I'm not hungry anyway." ”

Xu Bingrong frowned and asked, "Where did you go for the big holiday?" Let the whole family wait for you to eat! ”

Mrs. Xu was displeased and said, "You still don't let people eat?" What is wrong with training your children as soon as you eat? Besides, isn't Yi Hao back, as if you came back much earlier than him! ”

Dinner was eaten noisily, and everyone went back to their houses, and no one appreciated the lanterns hanging in the courtyard.

Mrs. Xu added a cloak to herself and took the maid for a walk in the yard by herself.

"Madam, the lord finally came back, why don't you go and talk to the master, blow the cold wind outside to see what these dead things are doing."

Mrs. Xu heard that she stood next to a red plum tree, and there was a glass lamp under the tree that she specially placed by someone, which illuminated the red plum trees on the tree and was particularly delicate.

"You see how well the flowers bloom, even though it's cold outside, and people are happy when they see it. The house is warm, but unfortunately it makes people feel uncomfortable. ”

"Madam......" The maid wanted to persuade again, but suddenly heard a terrible scream from the side.

"Ahh

The screams came from Xu Yihao's yard.

Mrs. Xu's heart sank suddenly, and she pulled out her feet and ran into her son's yard.

The maids in Xu Yihao's courtyard were already in a panic, and they didn't know what to do, but they ran around like flies, and they bumped into others from time to time.

"Get out of here!" Mrs. Xu pushed them away with all her might, and ran into the house as fast as she could, only to see Xu Yihao lying naked on the bed, his face was red, and his palm cloth was red circles, and the situation was particularly terrifying.

There was also a naked maid under him, her face was pale at this time, and she had already fainted with fright.

"Yihao, Yihao, what's wrong with you, don't scare your mother! Come on, go get a doctor! Go get a doctor! Mrs. Xu shouted frantically, and her voice was directly split.

She rushed to the edge of the bed and put her trembling fingers under Xu Yihao's nose.

The cold fingers didn't feel the slightest breath, and Mrs. Xu couldn't help but wail: "My son—"

Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen, who rushed to hear the news, had not yet seen the situation in the house, and when they heard Mrs. Xu's words, their eyes turned black and they fainted on the spot.
