Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

Baoxiu looked at the poems revised by her girl and read slowly:

“Last year on Lantern Festival, the lights in the flower market were as bright as day.

On the willow branches in the moonlight, we drink together after dusk.

On Yuan Ye this year, the moon and lights are still there.

Seeing people from last year, they smile and hide their spring shirt sleeves.

Girl, this poem that Brother Jie brought back in the evening has a much better mood after you changed it.

During the Lantern Festival, we can still see old friends from last year, drink together, and smile happily until our sleeves are covered.

I didn’t know who wrote it before, so why did I hit people after dusk! "

Baoxiu is Hai Chaoyun's personal envoy.

There is also a personal maid named Zhujian.

The names of the two female envoys were obtained by Hai Chaoyun's biological brother.

The source comes from the poem "Look at the morning clouds hugging Xiu, listen to the evening stream pouring into the stream." ’

I didn't use the words "Little Bridge" or "Chongyu" or other nice words, just for a good meaning: I hope my sister will have a husband as strong as a mountain.

Zhujian, who was older than Baoxiu, came over and rubbed the ink on Hai Chaoyun: "Girl, wasn't it the fifth son of the Yongyi Hou family who beat people during the Lantern Festival last year?"

"Girl, could it be that Xu Jiawulang did this?"

Hai Chaoyun nodded and said, "It should be him. Tonight, he and his brother happened to be having dinner at Fan Lou."

Baoxiu said: "That's not surprising. Wulang of the Xu family is famous for his impatience and strong martial arts. It doesn't mean that even the barbarian nobles of Beiliao can't defeat him! But the noble military generals can do this It’s not bad either.”

Hai Chaoyun glanced at Baoxiu with a smile.

Zhu Jian lowered his face and scolded: "Baoxiu, you are a little girl, but you still criticize the young master of the Marquis Mansion? I think the girl is too indulgent of you!"

Seeing that her girl didn't speak, Baoxiu knew that she had exceeded the rules, so she quickly lowered her head and said, "Sister, I was wrong."

Zhu Jian ignored Hua Xiu and continued: "Girl, I heard that Madam Bai from the Gu family of Marquis Ningyuan will take her son, daughter and daughter-in-law out of the city and board a boat back to Yangzhou tomorrow. Wu Lang of the Xu family will also go with her."

Hai Chaoyun asked full of questions: "Going to Yangzhou at this time? Is there anything urgent?"

Baoxiu came over to listen to Zhujian continue: "Girl, I heard that Mr. Bai is not in good health, so Mrs. Bai will go and have a look. It seems that Xu Jiawulang is their aunt in Yangzhou and is about to celebrate her birthday."

Hai Chaoyun pursed his lips and said, "Where did you find out about this?"

Zhu Jian said: "Girl, the grandmother of the girl from the Yu family whom I met at Wu Tower that day, and the aunt of the Xu family had a handkerchief, and I found out through chatting with their little maid."

Hai Chaoyun thought for a moment and said, "I remember, it's that little sister. She is very knowledgeable about embroidery at a young age."

"Girls have a good memory."

The second day

Chenshi (before 9 a.m.)

Dongshuimen in the southeast of Bianjing,

On the pier outside the city, various ships in the river not far away sailed into the huge city of Bianjing like traffic in previous lives.

Bianjing has a population of one million, and the transportation of people and animals in the city only accounts for a small part.

The absolute main force of transportation is river transportation.

Xu Zaijing once read Dazhou's Di newspaper. Last year, more than 8 million shi of grain was transported into Beijing by the Dazhou River.

It's just grain, not other goods.

The belongings of the Gu family and the Xu family were transported to the dock early by carriage. At this time, the carriage and the carriage were being moved to the huge passenger ship of the Bai family on the Bianhe River.

Xu Zaijing watched his cousin lead the horses to the cabin of a ship behind,

Gu Tingye came over, stood beside Xu Zaijing proudly and said, "Brother Jing, is this ship big? When my mother married to Bianjing, my grandfather accompanied her as a dowry of five ships."

Xu Zaijing looked at the passenger ship as big as a building and secretly clicked his tongue.

"Brother Jing, what are you looking at?"

Bai's refreshing voice came, Xu Zaijing turned around and bowed his hands in salute: "Aunt Chun'an, I'm looking to see how big this boat is and how much dowry it can hold."

After speaking, he glanced at Gu Tingye.

Hearing this, Qingxia and Qingzhi, who were following behind their master, covered their mouths and laughed.

Bai has liked Xu Zaijing since he was a child, the kind of love an elder would have for a younger one.

Moreover, her father had more or less revealed to her when he was in Bianjing that according to the calculations of an expert in the family, this child of the Xu family had changed her luck and allowed her to avoid the disaster of life and death.

Bai has known since she was a child that her father trusted the master very much. She didn't know whether it was a disaster or not, but since she made good friends with the Xu family, her life in Bianjing has become much more comfortable.

And Xu Zaijing’s biological sister is her daughter-in-law.

Bai rarely smiled during this period because she received news that her father was in poor health.

But when she heard this, Pingmei looked at each other and smiled, and then Bai nodded towards Aunt Chang.

When Aunt Chang saw Bai Shi's signal, she walked to Xu Zaijing's side, stretched out a hand to block it and said, "Brother Jing, our eldest wife only has cash for her dowry."

Although she was surrounded by servants and stewards from both houses, Grandma Chang still said in a low voice: "Each ship is 160,000 taels."

Xu Zaijing was stunned, while Pingmei looked at her little brother with a smile, because she was even more stunned than Xu Zaijing when she found out.

Xu Zaijing calculated in his mind that in ancient times, one pound was 16 taels, and a ship was five tons of cash silver!

"hiss"

eyes empty

Gu Tingyi covered her mouth and smiled. Ever since she met Xu Zaijing, she had never seen him like this.

Grandma Chang added in a low voice: "There are other dowry and real estate shops, gold and silver jewelry, and all kinds of treasures are not included. But most of them have filled the holes in the Hou Mansion."

Xu Zaijing thought to himself that the real value was in the real estate shops at the back. No wonder his mother had a small stake in the Bai family's business, and the Xu family's life was so easy.

When the north wind blew, Bai took Ping Mei and said, "The wind is strong, let's get on the boat."

The passenger ship has taken away its planks and fenders.

The boatmen shouted the signal, and the passenger ship started to move slowly.

After setting up the green clouds and green grass, Xu Zaijing walked onto the top floor of the passenger ship. Bai returned to Yangzhou this time and brought three ships with him. There was a flagpole in the middle of each ship, which was hung with Marquis Gu of Ningyuan, Marquis Xu of Yongyi, and Wuxiang of Yangzhou. White flag.

Looking around,

Xu Zaijing's eyesight was very good. He squinted slightly and saw a passenger ship flying away in the distance with the flag of 'Zhongqin Earl Yuan'.

Xu Zaijing shook his head slightly, he had already saved all his face for you, why would he give it to others to beat him?

Although there is a horse breeding land in Dazhou, the delivery shop from Bianjing to Yangzhou is still not allowed to use horses except for national policies and military affairs, and can only use quick feet.

The letter and the approximation are mostly gone.

night,

royal palace,

The emperor was still processing official court documents.

Looking at the post handed over by the Imperial City Secretary, he asked:

"Xu Jiawulang went to Yangzhou?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, we are boarding the ship today. We have sent someone to follow him, and we will definitely keep him safe."

The emperor glanced at the chief minister and said, "Bao?"

The chief internal officer was stunned and said: "Your Majesty, this slave is a mean talker, and he is checking for leaks and filling them up. Your Majesty, the southeast side has been idle for a long time, so let's start manipulating this slave again."

The emperor looked a little unnatural. In the past few years since he ascended the throne, no prince could grow up healthily, and the queen was replaced. As a result, the Imperial City Secretary tried his best to find out nothing.

Directly lost the grace.

However, the Rongji Division, which competes with the Imperial City Division, has made many meritorious deeds in the north.

There are only so many resources, and the Imperial City Division is not favored and can only live a miserable life.

The emperor acquiesced that the local power of the Imperial City Division was overridden by the Rongji Division.

As a result, a few years ago, the Xu family sent velvet, and the queen captured several dead soldiers from the Royal Nursing Home through the Imperial City Department.

And this Royal Nursing Home is an institution that the emperor personally ordered not to disturb, because the emperor grew up here.

Imperial City Division:

Last year, the north faced off against the two major powers, and a large number of military officers and soldiers were transferred to the north.

The Imperial City Division had not yet recovered, and the Rongji Division withdrew its personnel, leaving the entire southeastern spy agency empty of strength. Without the supervision of the violent spy agency, the emperor had already felt that there were changes in the taxation of the southeast.

"Add more money and recover as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The emperor continued to look at the post and said with a smile: "This Yuan family is really..."

The senior internal officials beside him also shook their heads.

At this time, a child's voice came: "Sir, why are you shaking your head?"

"Hey, my highness, why are you here? I have seen the Queen."

"Why are you and Fang'er here?"

"Your Majesty said she missed you, but you didn't come to the bedroom, so why not come here." The Queen was helped over.

"Sir, you haven't told me yet."

The chief minister looked at the emperor awkwardly, and the queen also looked at him.

He did not dare to say more without the permission of the emperor and empress.

"It's okay, just tell me."

"Based on previous posts from the yamen office and statements from official family members who returned from Yangzhou, Yangzhou was sentenced to Sheng Hong, and his concubines were in charge of the family and the Sheng family's property. His eldest wife, Mrs. Wang, was only in charge of the Wang family's dowry. This rumor spread to the Yuan family In my ears, I might be trying my luck.”

"I know that this young official is a good handwriting, but it's a pity for the housekeeper's ability."

"Officials, do you want to issue an edict to reprimand me?" the chief official said.

From the corner of his eye, the emperor saw the queen who had curled her lips just now.

The emperor stood up, shook his hand and whispered, "Forget it! He collected taxes well and just won a commendation."

The last sentence was louder: "Don't embarrass him!"

The queen rolled her eyes and snorted, then raised her hand, and Zhao Fang took his mother's hand.

"Your Majesty, it's better to go to Sister Rongfei's place."

Let’s set off!
