Chapter 154
Zhang Hao followed his parents to Xu Jie's mansion. Xu Fan saw it and immediately came over to show his salute. Then Xu Jie came out and saluteed Zhang Rong and his wife. There was no way, and his status was too high.
"In-law, I've been so disturbed. I was so busy before, so I was rude!" Zhang Rong also bowed to Xu Jie and said.
"Yan Chong is so heavy, Yan Chong is so heavy. I know that Brother Ke Ji is busy now. Come on, please!" Xu Jie said happily to Zhang Rong.
"Please, please!" Zhang Rong immediately made a gesture of invitation, and the two walked forward together. After Xu entered the yard, Liang was also waiting at the yard.
"I have met the British Duke and Madam!" Liang immediately saluted to Zhang Rong and his wife. After they returned the salute, Xu took Liang's hand and said, "My mother-in-law, I have aggrieved you, your daughter. My husband, Hao'er, Hao'er, is ignorant, please take more responsibility! Hao'er, come here!"
Xu shouted to Zhang Hao behind him, and Zhang Hao immediately saluted Liang.
"Well, it's actually pretty good. Now I'm doing the job for the emperor!" Liang said with a smile.
"Please come inside and say that you have prepared good tea inside!" Xu Jie said enthusiastically. I was happy today. If things can be completed, then the marriage between them will be decided.
Soon, the group arrived at the living room, and then Xu Jie said, "Go and invite the lady here!"
"Yes, lord!" The servant went out immediately.
Xu Shiyun was dressed up in the boudoir at this moment, and she was still a little nervous. Today, when both parents were talking about the marriage, he and Zhang Hao also met officially.
"Miss, Miss, the British Duke and his wife are here. Master, please come!" The voice of the butler outside came.
"Okay, I'll go there now!" Xu Shiyun responded with a blushing face. Then Shu'er started to bring her things, left the boudoir together, and went to the living room. After arriving at the living room, she immediately went over to salute Zhang Rong and his wife: "I have met the British Duke, the British Duke's wife!"
"Okay, okay, no gift, Hao'er!" Xu was very happy. He really didn't say anything about his beauty. No wonder his son liked it, and he liked it when he saw it.
"Mom!" Zhang Hao stood up.
"You two have officially met, let's get to know each other!" Xu said to Zhang Hao with a smile.
"I've seen it!" Zhang Hao looked at Xu and said.
"That's different. This time we are meeting officially. This kid just doesn't understand the rules!" Xu said staring at Zhang Hao.
"Oh, my name is Zhang Hao!" Zhang Hao immediately introduced to Xu Shiyun.
"And your official position, I have to briefly say what you are doing now!" Xu continued to stare at Zhang Hao and said, "You are now Marquis Lu An, Qianhu of Jinyiwei, and the prefect of Shuntian, don't you know this?"
"This kid!" Xu said with dissatisfaction at Zhang Hao, staring at Zhang Hao, and Zhang Hao immediately shrank his head. I can beat people.
"My mother-in-law, this child is really true. Many places do not understand the rules. Please forgive me. I would like to offend me before!" Xu said to Liang.
"It's okay, it's okay, this child is a real person!" Liang also said with a smile. There is no way, you can't say that this child is a fool, everyone in the capital knows it.
"Mom, let's just sit like this? Can we go out? Are you talking about you?" Zhang Hao asked as he looked at them.
"Sit down!" Xu looked at Zhang Hao unhappily and said, "Zhang Hao had no choice but to sit down."
"Well, it's okay. These things are also our adult affairs. My daughter, take Zhang Hao and wander around our mansion!" Xu Jie said.
"That's right!" Zhang Hao said happily when he heard this.
"Dad, mom, Duke of England, Madam, I will lose my companion first!" Xu Shiyun said with a bow again.
"I'll lose my companion first!" Zhang Hao also bowed and said,
Soon, the two of them left the living room, exhaled at the same time, and then looked at each other and smiled.
"I thought you weren't nervous!" Zhang Hao said to Xu Shiyun.
"How can I not be nervous? Are you brave? Why are you nervous too?" Xu Shiyun looked at Zhang Hao and asked, and the two of them were walking slowly.
"I'm not used to it, not nervous. My parents are here, I dare not speak, otherwise my mother will hit me!" Zhang Hao said to Xu Shiyun.
"Are you afraid of your mother?" Xu Shiyun asked with a smile.
"Just kidding, my father is afraid, my mother is so awesome!" Zhang Hao immediately smiled and said.
"Oh!" Then the two of them didn't know what to say, just walked slowly.
"By the way, is that stove warm?" Zhang Hao thought of this and asked as he looked at Xu Shiyun.
"Nanhe, what did you think of? Now, my mother and my three sisters-in-law are working as female workers in my room!" Xu Shiyun nodded and said.
"I'm smart, right?" Zhang Hao said proudly.
"Well, but, I heard that you want to kill my father! Is that true?" Xu Shiyun thought of this and stared at Zhang Hao and asked.
"Well, think about it, the emperor won't let it go!" Zhang Hao nodded and said.
"You, that's my father-in-law, you are your father-in-law!" Xu Shiyun looked at Zhang Hao angrily and said.
"I know, do you know what your father did? After being the Minister of the Shang Dynasty for so many years, corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty were rampant, and the people were living in poverty. They changed their children and sold their children. Do you know?" Zhang Hao asked at Xu Shiyun.
"That can't be my father's responsibility!" Xu Shiyun immediately stared at Zhang Hao and said.
"You can't blame your father all, but your father, huh, let's say that, your family probably has hundreds of thousands of taels. Your father was the Minister of Rites before, so how did that money come from? You don't know what? Your father took the money from the officials below, and the officials below would get more money from the people. The people could only get poorer and more miserable. Now, there are rebels everywhere. Do you know? They are all forced by people like your father!" Zhang Hao looked at Xu Shiyun and said.
"My father is not such a person!" Xu Shiyun said anxiously to Zhang Hao.
"No? Forget it, let's talk to you like this? I've checked fourteen county magistrates, do you know? I've been corrupt about 5 million taels, and more than 5 million taels, they have to give money to them. It is estimated that the money they have plundered from them will not be less than 10 million taels.
A Shuntian Mansion, after a few years, they have been searched for so much money, how can you let the people live? Your father actually told me not to investigate. Yes, I know your father is afraid that I will offend people.
But I am Lu Anhou of the Ming Dynasty. My children, grandsons and other descendants have been in the Ming Dynasty for generations and have been in harmony with the Ming Dynasty. When the Ming Dynasty is here, we enjoy wealth and honor. When the Ming Dynasty is gone, we will be killed in the whole family. People like your father can surrender, but we cannot surrender, do you know?
Why don’t I check it? If I don’t check it, isn’t the Ming Dynasty over? You will be my wife in the future, and you will be the wife of Lu An. Do you want to investigate? Do you hope that the Ming Dynasty will perish or that the Ming Dynasty will flourish?" Zhang Hao stood there, looking at Xu Shiyun and said,
Xu Shiyun was stunned at this moment, and she was also a little shocked. She had never thought about such a thing before.
"It's not that simple to be the Marquis's wife. Why does the Emperor trust us nobles, because they know that our nobles are loyal to the Ming Dynasty.
As the Marquis’ wife, you are the same. The Ming Dynasty also needs you to maintain it. If your father does not investigate corrupt officials, I cannot ignore it. This is the difference between me and your father, do you know?
We have no grudges, we just say that different positions and ideas are different. The reason why we say we want to hammer your father to death is to scare your father. There are three ministers in the cabinet. If I say that we should hammer two of them, not that we should hammer your father to death, can your father still gain a foothold in the cabinet?" Zhang Hao looked at Xu Shiyun and explained,
Xu Shiyun nodded and continued to think about the words Zhang Hao said just now.
"It's so cold, go to your boudoir?" Zhang Hao said with a smile as he looked at Xu Shiyun.
"Don't even think about it. Really, just now, it was obviously pretty good, but now it's messy!" Xu Shiyun looked at Zhang Hao angrily and said. Xu Shiyun was a little shocked when she heard this. Her husband was not a fool, on the contrary, he was very smart.
Now that he said this, Xu Shiyun began to doubt it again.
"Why, we will get married sooner or later? Besides, why don't I do anything? Are you thinking dirty?" Zhang Hao said with a smile and looked at Xu Shiyun.
"You, you, Dingtuzi, I am your future wife, and you still teased me!" Xu Shiyun pointed at Zhang Hao anxiously and said, blushing, but for some reason, her heart was actually sweet.
"If I tease others, you won't be in a hurry. Really, are you stupid?" Zhang Hao rolled his eyes and said.
"You dare!" Xu Shiyun warned Zhang Hao.
"If you don't let me in, I'll go tease me tomorrow. Do you believe it?" Zhang Hao immediately threatened Xu Shiyun and said.
"You, you are not allowed to go, you cannot go, this will harm your innocence!" Xu Shiyun said to Zhang Hao anxiously.
"What are you afraid of? I'm still worried about this? Let's go to your boudoir and sit, make tea for me!" Zhang Hao took Xu Shiyun's hand and was about to walk to his boudoir.
"Let go!" Xu Shiyun wanted to break free, but she couldn't break free, so she was pulled away by Zhang Hao.
"You disciple, you know how to bully me!" Xu Shiyun said shyly behind, actually very happy.
She is sure now that Zhang Hao is not stupid, her future husband, if she is not stupid, she can live a good life. If she is not stupid, she can be considered as a half-perfect husband in her mind. Wu, Zhang Hao will definitely take over.
Wen, forget it, my father said that his handwriting was very poor and he couldn't read it! Soon, Zhang Hao pulled Xu Shiyun to the boudoir.
