Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

Qingcao was applying the ointment carefully, but when Xu Zaijing heard Qingyun's words after he knelt down, he sat up straight in surprise.

Qingcao didn't expect Xu Zaijing's movements, and the two sides collided, causing Xu Zaijing to cry out in pain.

Hearing Xu Zaijing's cry of pain, Qingcao hurriedly said: "Young master??? slave."

"It's none of your business, keep painting."

Qingcao glanced at Qingyun, his eyes somewhat blaming the elder brother, and also a little surprised.

Because he is Xu Zaijing's personal servant and is three or four years older than Xu Zaijing, Qingyun has begun to grow in stature, and practicing martial arts every day has made Qingyun energetic and strong.

There are many female envoys in the Hou Mansion who are fond of Qingyun, and there are also maids in the Hou Mansion who have made peace with their daughters or granddaughters, but Qingyun has never been attracted to her.

As a result, today he actually knelt down and said someone was there?

Xu Zaijing looked at Qingyun's sincere eyes and asked, "It can't be the girl kneeling at the door today, right?"

Qingyun nodded.

After thinking about the possible decision of his master, he said: "Qingyun, stand up first."

"Yes, sir."

"You came to beg me first. You were afraid that Master would disapprove, so you didn't go to my Master's place?"

Qingyun nodded, then lowered his head in frustration.

"You want me to tell my parents and ask them to agree before telling the master?"

"Yes, sir."

"Well! But Master has taught me carefully for so many years, and my father also regards Master as a close friend. Qingyunqin guesses that after I finish speaking, will I be beaten by my father and my mother? How can I, an apprentice, make the decision for Master? "

Qingyun didn't say anything after hearing this, feeling disappointed and sighing. .

Xu Zaijing continued: "I think it's better for you to tell me the whole story clearly, and let's go and talk to Master together."

Qingyun bowed, looked at the table legs in the room and said softly:

"Sir, it was the winter of the second year of Jiayou's reign. I was begging for a living near Wanshengmen. The crowded places facing the sun were occupied by well-built beggars. I could only huddle in the dark alleys. I didn't remember being hungry at that time. It's been a few days. I just remember that I was really hungry and cold, and I thought I was going to die under that cold wall. Suddenly, half a steamed cake with tooth marks was thrown from the roof. I looked up and saw it. Down to the face with the birthmark.”

"That day, I had the most delicious steamed cake in my memory. For the next two days, I squatted under that wall. Every time the smoke drifted away, I could always eat half of the steamed cake."

"On the fourth day, I remember that I kept looking up at the roof, but didn't wait. When I walked around to the front door and asked, I found out that the roof had been repaired and the masons had left. I wanted to go and bask in the sun. , but I was still driven away. When I returned to the alley, I saw a tall man standing there. When he saw me, he gave me a whole piece of steamed cake in his hand. That was when I She said, my surname is Yin, and I will repay the favor of living. She also saw the birthmark on her face clearly! But..."

Qingyun shook his head and continued: "Later, I was found by my uncle."

"Have you looked for her?"

Qingyun nodded and said: "Yes. After entering the Hou Mansion, I also went there to look for him. I wanted to repay the kindness. I wanted to ask the family where the person who repaired the roof of his house came from. I would be able to find someone by following the clues. Yes! But when I went there, the family had already moved away and the clues were lost."

"I have been looking for a mason man with a birthmark on his face, but Bianjing has a population of more than one million. Even with the birthmark as a clue, looking for him is still like looking for a needle in a haystack. Only today did I know that the benefactor turned out to be a girl!"

"It was only today that I found out that this benefactor had been working in Nancheng. Before he went to Wanshengmen, he was just a handyman for cash, specializing in dangerous work that others were unwilling to do."

Qingcao listened to Qingyun's words and gave Xu Zaijing the medicine. After bandaging, Xu Zaijing said: "Let's go to Master. It shouldn't be a big problem."

"Sir, that girl is six years older than me!"

Xu Zaijing paused and scratched his head.

In the evening, Xu Minghua wiped his hands and sat at the dining table in the main hall, asking, "Huh? Where is Jing'er?"

Sun took the bowl and chopsticks from Xiaozhu's hand and put them on the table and said, "He said he went to see his master for a drink."

"Well, you are quite filial! Come, let's eat. By the way, Zhang'er, you have to take a day off from school tomorrow, and we will go to Sheng's house together."

Xu Zaizhang quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks and nodded in agreement.

royal palace

The emperor stayed at Concubine Rong's house tonight,

In the queen's bedroom, a cool breeze blew from outside the window. The queen, who was sitting on a chair with her belly puffed out, looked at the fruit on the table next to her and said, "I heard today that the internal official Huaibao was whipped?"

The female officer on the side quickly bowed and said: "Return to your Majesty, yes! The chief minister next to Your Majesty will personally administer the punishment."

"Um?"

Hearing the queen's question, the palace maid hurriedly bowed and said: "Your majesty, your majesty did not mean to hide it from you. You asked me at the right time. Before I let my slave speak, I want to say a word."

"Um."

The female officer hurriedly said: "Xu Jiawulang is fine. The old medical officer in the palace has seen him. He just suffered some skin injuries."

The queen frowned and said, "Huaibao was whipped. What does it have to do with Xu Jiawulang?"

"Return to the Empress"

"Forget it, let Huaibao do the talking."

"yes"

Huaibao, who had been whipped in the afternoon, put on his clothes in pain, knelt outside the queen's chamber, and explained the matter in detail.

"Well, it's not your fault. Why did you get whipped?"

"Go back to your Majesty, the chief minister said that I did not see the hidden danger. Although the incident was caused by fireworks, I am also responsible for the oversight."

"Well, remember the whole story clearly, you can go down."

"Thank you, empress. I will keep this in mind."

After Huaibao withdrew, the queen ordered: "Come here, ask the medical officer to list the prescriptions for nourishing the internal organs, prepare the medicinal materials in the palace and send them to the Xu family."

"yes."

Early the next morning.

The mother-in-law of the Xu family.

Mrs. Sun was serving Xu Minghua and getting dressed.

"Your Majesty is really kind to our Xiaowu. She sent a lot of things at night, and a medical officer will be sent to see him in a few days."

"Well, the eldest brother of the Cao family also said that his sons are a little jealous of Xiao Wu and bluntly said that they want to show him some color on the polo field." Xu Minghua said with a smile.

"Official, if you are going to the Duke of Qi's house today, please wear this jade belt."

"It's not like we're trying to compare, this belt is pretty good!"

"Official, you!"

Two quarters of an hour later,

At the second door of the Xu family, Ms. Xie watched her father-in-law, wearing a beautiful jade belt, enter the carriage with her mother-in-law.

An Mei, who was in the second carriage, and her husband Xu Zaiduan, who was riding on the horse, waved. After Xu Zaizhang and Xu Zaijing also nodded to their sister-in-law, the three brothers followed the motorcade out of the gate of Xu Mansion and headed towards Jiying Lane.

Mrs. Xie walked and exercised in the yard for a long time with the support of her close mother. After returning to the house and sitting down, she just drank a few sips of warm water when another female envoy came to the door and said: "Madam, there is a steward of the Hai family outside the door. Passed the greeting card."

Xie looked at her mother next to her with a puzzled look on her face: "Hai family?"

The mother next to her shook her head and said: "Their family has been a long-standing official, and our Qingliu family has nothing to do with their family."

"Well, my mother-in-law is not at home, so I can't wait any longer! Go, set up a screen at the door and invite people in." Mrs. Xie ordered.

Soon, a middle-aged steward came to the door. He thought that the female envoy on the way told him about the master of the family visiting relatives. At this time, the eldest daughter-in-law, who was in charge, bowed at the door and explained the purpose of his visit:

"The lady of the house is grateful for the righteous deeds of your noble son, so she sent me some nourishing medicine. She also ordered me to let your house decide a date, so that the lady of the house can come to visit."

Ms. Xie and her personal mother looked at each other and said, "Well, please wait a moment, steward. I'll send someone to inquire."

Jiying Lane

The street in front of Sheng's house was swept clean and sprinkled with water.

Sheng Hong and his wife, Chang Bai and Chang Feng, had been waiting in the front hall for a long time. After hearing the steward's report, they came to the door and waited.

The Xu family's carriage and horses came to the door. Xu Minghua and Sun got out of the car. An Mei also hurriedly came to Sun's side. While they were greeting Sheng Hong and his wife, the three Xu family brothers also got off their horses and bowed in salute.

"Brother, sister-in-law, I have been to my house in Bianjing several times to disturb you. Please come and see my house today, please!"

"What did my cousin say? Please!"

While talking, Xu Minghua and Sheng Hong were in the front, Sun and Wang were holding arms in the middle, and the children entered the Sheng house together behind.

Xu Zaijing looked at the scenery in the yard. In his memory, the Sheng family's yard in Jiying Lane was purchased by Sheng Hong's grandfather. He bought two adjacent yards, and then bought an adjacent one to open up the garden. Therefore, the scope is larger than that of ordinary noble families.

It is said that Xu Minghua's grandfather at that time also reluctantly agreed to the plea of ​​his only daughter and agreed to the marriage after seeing that the Sheng family had this property.

When they arrived at the second gate, Hua Lan and her three younger sisters knelt down and bowed when they saw everyone.

Except Hua Lan, who was being held by An Mei, called Zai Jing's cousin, the other three Lans all called her cousin.

Zai Zhang stood next to his family. His brothers and sisters, when they heard Hua Lan calling him cousin, all glanced at Zai Zhang or bumped his shoulders.

Although the three orchids of the Sheng family were the most familiar with Xu Zaijing and had a relaxed attitude, Zai Duan was the second best, and Zai Zhang was the stranger to them because he was busy studying for the imperial examination.

But after calling the people, all three Lan's eyes were fixed on Zai Zhang.

Zai Zhang suppressed his shame and nodded, starting from Ming Lan. When he got to Mo Lan, he was fine. When he finally looked at Hua Lan, he took one look and lowered his head.

This appearance made Ru Lan and Ming Lan look at each other, and then they covered their mouths and laughed together.

Xu Minghua and Sheng Hong stopped in front and waited for the children for a while.

After the children recognized the person,

Mrs. Wang also looked at Zai Zhang with satisfaction and said, "Quick, let's go in, the old lady is still waiting."

After Wang finished speaking, Anmei took Hualan's hand.

Sun said: "Children, let's go."

Then the nun sent a large group of people towards the backyard.

Minglan, who was walking in the crowd, suddenly felt something wrong on her head. It turned out that it was Xu Zaijing who rubbed the two little tweets on her head. She immediately pouted and glanced at Xu Zaijing and walked a few steps quickly, leaving the range of his head.

Arriving near Hua Lan and An Mei, Ming Lan looked at them fondly, and then An Mei pinched her face.

At the end, Xiao Tao came to Qing Cao happily. After looking at each other, the two happily followed the crowd.

Arriving outside the Shou'an Hall, the little female envoys quickly lifted up the bamboo curtains to block out mosquitoes.

Mrs. Sheng stood by Luohan's bed with a smile and looked at everyone who came in. Hua Lan walked to her side, and Minglan walked to Fang's mother and asked her to tidy up her hair. The mother in the room looked at Xu Zaijing with a smile.

After entering the door, her aunt and uncle called for someone. Xu Minghua was pointed by the old lady and sat on the Arhat bed next to her. Sun sat on Xu Minghua's lower seat. The three people in Xiudun.

Sheng Hong and his wife sat opposite Sun, followed by Chang Bai and four others.

Everyone was talking, and after Mrs. Sun finished saying that her daughter-in-law could not come because she was pregnant, and the old lady said that she was fine, the old lady waved to Xu Zaizhang and said: "My child, come here and let me take a look."

However, Xu Zaijing stood up straight away, making Zai Zhang sit back in embarrassment.

Xu Zaijing walked to the middle of the main hall helplessly and said: "Auntie, you have been looking at me for three months, why are you still like this?"

The old lady waved her handkerchief and said to Xu Zaijing: "You little bastard, I'm calling your brother, go, go, sit back!"

Seeing this scene, everyone in Shou'antang laughed.

"Brother, please."

Xu Zaijing said and walked back to Xiudun.

Xu Zaizhang straightened his clothes and came to the old lady's side.

"Brother Zhang, sit down."

As she spoke, the old lady took Xu Zaizhang's hand and looked at it carefully: "I heard from your brother, have you passed the county examination?"

"Yes, great-aunt!"

"Good boy, your brothers have got the old woman's things, so we can't do without you."

With that said, the old lady took a jade bracelet and put it in Zai Zhang's hand. Looking carefully, the jade stones on the bracelet were smooth and moist, obviously not ordinary.

Then he gave Anmei a unique red gold and ruby ​​hairpin.

Mrs. Sun also began to send gifts. After sending gifts to the children of the Sheng family, Ms. Sun asked:

"Aunt, siblings, where is the youngest brother?"

When Sheng Hong heard Mrs. Sun's words, she hurriedly said to Ms. Wang: "Quickly, let the wet nurse come over with the child and let the relatives take a look."

Mrs. Wang raised her chin to signal Liu's mother, and Liu's mother hurriedly walked out.

"By the way, I heard that the flag pole outside the west city fell down yesterday. Brother Jing was injured while saving people. Is he okay?" Wang said and looked at Xu Zaijing with concern.

Xu Zaijing looked at the concerned eyes of everyone in the hall and said with a smile: "Aunt, it's okay, it's just a little scratch."

"That's good, that's good." Wang said quickly.

"I heard that there was a girl yesterday."

"Ahem" Sheng Hong coughed, interrupting Wang's question.

But Mr. Sun and the old lady looked at each other with a smile and said, "Cousin, it's okay. That woman actually has something to say."

"Ah?" Sheng Hong looked at Sun in surprise.

Mrs. Sun glanced at her official and said, "Brother Jing, the young man next to him, Qingyun, has been in trouble before."

Everyone in the Sheng family was fascinated by what Sun said.

"So, there will be one more happy event in the house?" Wang asked with a smile.

"Qingyun also repays his kindness, and the Marquis and I naturally agreed." Regarding Master Xu Zaijing, he did not say anything.

When he finished speaking, the little envoy outside shouted: "Seventh Young Master is here."

Then a plump and fair-skinned wet nurse entered the main hall holding a baby.

And Fang's mother had already stood at the door and took the baby from the wet nurse's hand.

Everyone in the Xu family gathered next to Fang's mother and took a look at the Qi Lang of the Sheng family.

"Auntie, has the child's name been decided yet?"

Listening to Xu Minghua's question, the old lady smiled and nodded: "It's settled, your cousin started it."
