Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

Wei Ruixuan

Wang sat at the dinner table and patted away Ru Lan's hungry claws.

"Your father hasn't come yet!"

"Dad hasn't come yet at this time. He just went to Lin Qige. What are you waiting for!"

"You! He's talking to your grandmother!"

Just as Mrs. Wang was about to take a bite of Rulan's forehead, Caihuan walked in from the door: "Madam, the master can't say it anymore."

"What?!!"

"Well, let me tell you, it's better to eat early."

"But you went to that bitch Lin Sushuang's house?"

"Back to Madam, no, I went to Jin'anzhai!"

Hearing Caihuan's words, Rulan was stunned, and her outstretched hungry claws also stopped in the air: "Huh?"

"But Wei Shu sent someone to stop him and used the child as an excuse to drag the master away?" Wang asked with a frown.

"Madam, no, no. After the master left the Shou'an Hall, his face was full of smiles. He smiled and told his slave to go to Jin'anzhai today, so that the eldest lady would not have to wait. The slave did not see the servants of Jin'anzhai. .”

Wang Ruofu closed his eyes and calmed down his anger:

"Okay, let's go to the concubine's room with a smile! There was Lin Sushuang in front of me, and here comes Wei Shuyi! I think a big lady like me knows how to eat!"

Wang Ruofu's finger finally touched Ru Lan's head.

Rulan looked indifferent.

"Madam, my servant is watching, why don't you wait a little longer!"

Hearing what Liu's mother said, Rulan's expression changed drastically: "Ah? Do you still have to wait? I'm going to starve!"

Mother Liu glanced at Ru Lan with some sympathy and said:

"Madam, I see that the one in Anzhai today is not the one from Lin Qige who doesn't understand the rules. We have been in Bianjing for so many days, and Wei Shu's feelings have not changed just because he gave birth to a son."

"Yeah, that's what you said."

Wang Ruofu nodded.

"Besides, Jin'anzhai is a small kitchen belonging to the old lady who left, not a big kitchen. There must be no food for the master today."

"Then she won't give her share to the master. What she has is not enough. Then just wait a little longer."

"Ah?" Ru Lan collapsed instantly.

"Mother, my daughter is hungry."

At this time, the little envoy outside the door reported: "Madam, Sister Xiaodie from Anzhai is waiting outside the courtyard today, saying that Miss Wei has something to report."

Wang Ruofu glanced at Liu's mother and said, "Let me in."

Xiaodie knelt down and bowed slightly out of breath, "Madam, I said that there is no dinner prepared in the courtyard. Today, I should come to Weiruixuan and ask the slaves to run over and tell you that they will wait for the master for a while."

Wang Ruofu nodded without saying anything, and motioned to Liu's mother to send him out.

Outside the courtyard, Mother Liu walked with Xiaodie and whispered: "Miss Xiaodie, I wonder why the Lord went to Jin'anzhai today?"

"Back to Mother Liu, I asked me to deliver the message after seeing the Lord. I really don't know."

Mother Liu nodded. As long as she was talking to Wang Ruofu, the fact that Xiaodie came over meant that she was telling the truth.

Jin'anzhai

Sheng Hong opened the curtain and entered the room and said:

"I'm sorry, but how come you have such good words?"

"My lord! It was my father's teachings when I was a child."

"Oh? I wish we could meet each other! Come on, let's talk about these words!"

"My lord, you are very busy with your writing today, and the sky is so dark. Besides, my calligraphy may damage your eyes."

"It's okay! I'm sorry, but what about the word 'many'?"

"My lord, why don't you wait until the eldest sister accepts the lottery and other matters are over? When you have time during the day, come and give me some advice. The eldest lady has been busy for so long."

After listening to Wei Shu's words, Sheng Hong smiled, looked at her and said, "Okay!"

"Wow wow wow~~"

"My lord, the child is awake, I'm sorry."

"Go ahead, the baby is important."

Sheng Hong stood up and looked around Wei Shuyi's room. He felt something was wrong. He looked at it by candlelight for a while, but didn't see anything.

He shook his head in confusion.

Cui's mother knelt down and bowed to the side and said in a low voice: "Master, at this time, I can't leave my mother for more than two quarters of an hour. You see."

"Ah? Oh! Then I'll go to the other courtyard first. Thank you for your hard work, mama!"

"Your Majesty, your words are serious."

At this time, Xiaodie came to the house and said: "Master, Mother Liu said that Madam Liu is still waiting for you to eat."

"Just in time, I'm going to Wei Ruixuan."

Dongrong held a lantern beside him, and Liu's mother followed behind.

Sudden,

Sheng Hong stopped and said to himself: "No wonder."

Mother Liu said from behind: "Master?"

"Ah? Let the eldest lady give Jin Anzhai a better set of pens, inks, paper and inkstones tomorrow."

"yes!"

"Dad! You are finally here."

Listening to Ru Lan's heartfelt cry of joy, Sheng Hong laughed. Wang Ruofu served Sheng Hong and sat down:

"Ru'er, why are you so attentive today?"

"It's not like I'm so hungry that I miss my daddy!"

"Hahaha, you little girl."

Sheng Hong looked at the table of food that was still fragrant and stared at Wang Ruofu with a smile until Wang Ruofu blushed.

"My lord, Ru'er is almost starving."

"Okay, okay, let's eat."

After finishing the meal and drinking tea for digestion, Wang Ruofu served Sheng Hong and changed his clothes. Sheng Hong glanced at Wang Ruofu and said:

"Madam, you have such good eyesight!"

"What did the official say?"

Sheng Hong, who was about to say something, turned his eyes and said, "You have been busy with Hua'er these past few days. You have worked hard."

"Humph, Hua'er is my first born, and he comes from such a good family!"

"By the way, my colleagues in the official department said today that we have to prepare drinks quickly, otherwise we won't be able to buy them a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival!"

"Well, mother has told me before. Officer, please arrange it."

The second day

Sheng Hong went to court early in the morning.

Wang Ruofu, with a rosy complexion, was preparing breakfast.

"Madam, last night the Lord ordered me to give Jin Anzhai a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstones."

"Well, it seems that Mrs. Wei is also a gifted person, so give her the few things my brother gave her last year."

"yes."

Anzhai today,

After Wei Shu thanked Mother Liu, he looked at the things in Xiaodie's hands, looked at Mother Cui who was here and said, "They are all good things."

Mother Cui smiled and nodded.

When it was time to go to school in Youshi,

Xuexue Zhuang announced that he would have a day off tomorrow, and then he looked at the happy students in the lecture hall and shook his head.

"Haha, Sixth Sister, we can take a bath tomorrow!"

Rulan said happily.

Qi Heng asked Gu Tingye with a puzzled look on his face: "Second uncle, what day is tomorrow?"

Gu Tingye said: "The Xu family will come to the Sheng family tomorrow!"

The marriage has been decided by both families, and their parents have already agreed.

I also skipped the drafting step (or in other words, I went through it in Yangzhou.)

A few days ago, the Xu family had already issued a detailed notice (a letter stating Xu Zaizhang’s birth date, ranking, names of three generations of men, etc.).

The Sheng family also responded to Sheng Hualan's detailed message (the letter included Sheng Hualan's birthday, ranking, names of men from three previous generations, and details of various dowries.)

The Xu family quickly sent several loads of "Xiuyanhong" (including "eight bottles of Xukou wine" jewelry, silk and satin, tea, biscuits and fruits and various gifts)

The Sheng family gave half of the tea biscuits and fruits in the "Huiyu chopsticks" ("Xiaoyanhong"), put fresh water, goldfish, a pair of gold and silver chopsticks, and a raw image made of colorful silk into an empty bottle of Xukou wine. Two green onions are hung on the wine bottle.)

This is considered a ceremony.

The day the Sheng family had a holiday was the day when the Xu family came to pay the betrothal gift.

In Xu Zaijing's distant memory, this period was because the Yuan family traveled thousands of miles to Yangzhou, and all the above seemed to be completed in one day. After the Sheng family arrived in Bianjing, Hualan went directly to the Yuan family.

But the Xu family's process took many days.

The day came when the betrothal gift was given.

The pair of wild geese that Xu Zaizhang caught in February this year were kept smooth and smooth. Together with dozens of betrothal gifts such as various gold, silver, jade jewelry, and various precious fabrics, the eldest son of Tuoxi Hou Cao, who served as a matchmaker, sent it to the Sheng family. .

The two families also set a date for the wedding, which was in November.

The idea was quite smooth at first, until the author looked up the specific process of weddings in the Song Dynasty, and then felt numb, so it was better not to check. More than four hundred words were deleted.
