Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

Anmei felt that ever since her little brother made a splash during the New Year's greetings in the First Palace, she had attended two gatherings among the ladies of Bianjing in the past few days, and it seemed that she was slowly becoming the center of attention.

There were so many nice things to say about her ironing post in an instant. Whether it was clothes or hair accessories, smart ladies could always find a way to praise her.

Even her handwriting could be praised by others for its cleverness, which made her blush.

After praising her, he always secretly wants to ask her more questions about his little brother's hobbies, what kind of fragrance he likes, etc.

This was very helpful to her. After all, you can't dislike something you just say you don't like.

Before, Anmei had participated in many Xiangyi gatherings and tea tasting poetry gatherings in Bianjing, and had also met Rong Feiyan several times.

Rong Feiyan's sister was just her favorite, and she also knew that she was good-looking, so she was very proud of her.

The friendship with Anmei is nothing more than a nod of greeting.

Today, Anmei could feel the kindness in the girl's eyes, and even a hint of flattery, and her chin that had been raised in the past was lowered.

An Mei nodded with Rong Feiyan with a smile in her eyes, and then saw a somewhat unfamiliar girl. Although her clothes were plain but made of extraordinary materials, she had a small oval face, her eyes were lively, and her eyes were full of curiosity about An Mei. .

The fifth lady of the Zhang family is sucking cats drunkenly.

Gu Tingyi saw Xu Anmei's eyes, she rolled her eyes and said enthusiastically: "Sister Anmei, this is Sister Chaoyun, the second daughter of the Hai family."

He quickly held hands and pulled over a timid girl.

"Sister, this is Yanran, the younger sister of Master Yu's family."

After hearing Gu Tingyi's introduction, the two girls squatted and called sister in a very standard manner, with the hairpin rings on their heads shaking very little.

Apparently the tutor was very good.

Anmei returned the gift with the air of a big sister. When she looked up, she saw the Lord of Jiacheng County who rolled his eyes at Rong Feiyan.

She was just a little girl of about ten years old. Seeing An Mei's eyes, the county lord rolled his eyes towards the rafters, then looked over and smiled at An Mei.

Anmei saluted, she was a noble daughter of the clan and her status was higher.

Then a group of girls began to discuss Bianjing's new food, tea soup, poetry, embroidery, jewelry, etc., chattering for a while.

The fifth lady of the Zhang family was sucking the cat happily. She noticed Rong Feiyan's eyes, tilted her head and snorted. She turned around and saw the little sister named Yu Yanran who was avoiding her eyes. Yu Yanran was looking at her arms just now. The raccoon slave.

Looking at Yu Yanran's appearance, the fifth lady of the Zhang family walked over and said:

"Do you want to touch it?"

Yu Yanran shook her head subconsciously, but when she saw Zhang Jiawu Niang's friendly eyes, she nodded.

Zheng Xiao's niece Zheng Yi saw this scene. She was Zheng Jun's eldest daughter. She and An Mei looked at each other and said,

An Mei said: "Sister Zhang is kind-hearted."

On the other side, Hai Chaoyun was talking to Gu Tingyi, discussing the very rare jewelry on her head.

Because it is on the third floor, the location is high, and there are several small windows on the third floor, facing Jinming Pond, so in front of the small windows, there are several noble ladies painting by the windows, which is very elegant.

Zheng Yi looked at the environment on the third floor and continued to talk to An Mei: "You can come here often in the future. An Mei, look, there is a huge screen here that can be pushed and pulled."

As the two of them were talking, five or six maids in the building brought several bouquets of flowers to the side. Seeing this, several ladies who liked flower arranging walked over in surprise.

Rong Feiyan was one of them. She picked up the flowers and scissors brought by the maid and saw that the front of the two blades of the scissors was shaped into an oval, and the blades were close to the intersection of the two blades, so that they could not hurt anyone.

Rong Feiyan said to herself: "Madam Wu is determined."

The raccoon slave in the arms of the fifth wife of the Zhang family had been given to Yu Yanran in the seat near the window. She came here and looked at the ink painting made by the sister of the Lu family, and said: "Sister, your painting is so beautiful!"

"Thank you for the compliment from Wuniang. In spring, I will definitely come here again to paint."

The wind above Wu Tower is light and the clouds are light,

Above the court,

The first court meeting after rest,

Yuan Bingkai was already kneeling on the ground, his heart tightening, and he closed his eyes in pain as he listened to the remonstrance officials at the Yushitai.

"Your Majesty! Yuan Bingkai, Count of Loyalty and Qin, is lax in running the family and has no regard for human ethics. He should be dismissed and demoted, and he should never be hired again!"

"My lord, second the motion!"

"Your Majesty, Deputy Envoy Ma Zheng, Du Hui has something to report!"

"allow."

"Your Majesty, there was a lot of trouble in the horse administration last year. The Tianwu Army was reorganized and there was a serious shortage of horses. It was Yuan Bingkai who spent all his sleep and food to identify the good and the bad. He made up for the vacancies in the Tianwu Army two years ago. He was devoted to the state affairs. This is why his family was neglected."

"Xu Qing?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, what Deputy Ambassador Du said is true. The horses sent to the Tianwu Army's garrison are all of the right age, strong and disease-free, and have been carefully selected."

"Okay. Then I will be fined for half a year and demoted to a lower level for one year of probation."

Yuan Bingkai knelt on the ground and respectfully replied: "Your Majesty, thank you for your forgiveness!"

The emperor waved his hand. He had a son and the queen had a baby. Naturally, he was in a good mood and the punishment was lightened.

"If there is something going on, go ahead and leave if there is nothing going on!"

After the court meeting ended, Yuan Bingkai was waiting outside the palace. When he saw Deputy Ambassador Du and Xu Minghua, he hurriedly thanked him and the three of them walked out together.

"Du Gong, after the Lantern Festival, I will go to Yangzhou to propose marriage for my son. I would like to ask Du Gong to take care of the government affairs."

"This is a big deal, naturally, naturally."

"Xu Hou?"

Xu Minghua looked away and looked over when he heard Yuan Bingkai's voice.

"Thank you very much, Marquis Xu, for speaking out."

"Uncle Yuan"

"If you have anything to say, Marquis Xu, please speak up."

"The Yangzhou Sheng family is my aunt's husband's family, Uncle Yuan, you"

He didn't have much to say about the back house. He just wanted to find a reason to break off the engagement.

The Kang family is in Bianjing, and Kang Wang is Wang Ruofu's biological sister. It is not easy for him to overstep his authority when it comes to matters related to the Sheng family.

"Thank you, Marquis Xu!" Yuan Bingkai said quickly.

He worked diligently to help the Tianwu Army complete the purge as soon as possible. The Xu family went to Yangzhou without writing a letter and accepted his favor.

This kind of debt of gratitude was really difficult to repay, so Yuan Bingkai could only bow down and express his gratitude.

Xu Minghua added: "Uncle Yuan, the eldest son of the Kang family in Bianjing is the brother-in-law of Shanda."

Xu Minghua meant: If I don't write a letter, the Sheng family will know about it.

Yuan Bingkai was stunned.

At this time, Gu Yankai came over: "Xu Hou, stay, stay!"

Deputy Commissioner Du and Yuan Bingkai saw that the two princes had something to say. Deputy Commissioner Du nodded, and Yuan Bingkai handed over his hands knowingly, and the two took the first step.

At night,

Back at Yuan's house, Yuan Wenchun asked his father about the court's treatment with a frown on his face.

After hearing that it was just a fine and a retention check, Yuan Wenchun felt his heart in his stomach, and then heard his father say: "The day before yesterday, your mother was beaten and scolded. The admonisher said that my father was not strict in running the house, so you should Mother, go and kneel in the ancestral hall."

"Yes, father. But I am going to Yangzhou in a few days. What if my mother breaks her knees? She is old after all."

"Go and kneel first!"

"Yes, father."

Quyuan Street, Hou Mansion.

Mrs. Sun stepped forward and took over her official's robe, and asked with concern: "Official, have you spoken to Uncle Yuan?"

Xu Minghua sighed and said, "I can't say anything."

"Years ago, when I was purging the Tianwu Army, Uncle Yuan tried his best to help me. If I had replaced other officials, I don't know what the delay would have been like! But Uncle Yuan had prepared everything years ago. Their family had this kind of problem. I really don’t want to add insult to injury! I just told you to stop the marriage."

"I have told Uncle Yuan about the relationship between the Kang family and the Sheng family. I hope he can think clearly about the relationship between the Kang family and the Sheng family. It will definitely not happen. If he regrets this marriage, he must speak out himself!"

"But, what if they go to Yangzhou!?? After such a scandal, when a girl from the Sheng family gets married, she will be laughed at!" Sun said in a serious tone.

Xu Minghua frowned and said, "You also know that my aunt only had the Kang family because the Xu family interfered with the Sheng family's marriage. Do we still need to do this?"

Sun's chest was tight and she said in a low voice: "What if this happens? When I look at Da Zhang's behavior, I don't think he is a sensible person. Kang and Wang are also just in case."

Xu Minghua looked at the serious-faced madam, and changed the subject: "By the way, Gu Hou said that his family is also going to Yangzhou. Mr. Bai felt ill on the way, and Mrs. Bai wants to go back to Yangzhou."

"Guanren, I already knew this. I'm concerned about the Bai family's sister's matter, but I can't understand the Sheng family's affairs."

The two looked at each other speechlessly.
