Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

Anmei stood beside Sun,

Looking at Hu Yanjiong who was trying to breathe calmly, she lowered her head and smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth under the fan.

Hearing the teasing laughter of the Zhang family's Wuniang, Ting Yi and other girls not far away,

When Anmei wanted to raise her head and glare at them as a warning, she heard Hu Yanjiong's voice and had no choice but to give up.

"Madam, this is my son-in-law."

"Pfft"

"call"

"Well"

"Hahaha"

"Hee hee hee"

Listening to the booing from the noble young people around, such as Gu Tingye, Liang Han, Qiao Jiulang, etc.

And the laughter of the ladies and little girls around,

Hu Yanjiong was stunned and realized that he had said the wrong thing, and his face instantly turned red.

An Mei was stunned and wanted to laugh, but when she felt the attention of the people around her, her face turned a little red and she quickly raised her fan.

Mrs. Sun smiled helplessly and glanced at Mrs. Pan who was in the crowd asking for help.

"cough"

Hu Yanjiong heard the prompt, looked up at the smiling Sun, and said quickly: "Madam, this is my nephew's wish, please accept it."

Mrs. Sun took the things, nodded with a smile and said, "Brother Jiong, you've worked hard and you're very considerate."

Hearing Sun's words, Hu Yanjiong quickly bowed and cupped his hands and said, "This is what my nephew should do."

While Hu Yanjiong was speaking, An Mei caught sight of Hua Lan and Xie crouching down to return the salute, and she hurriedly bowed.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, Hu Yanjiong slowly took three steps back, then turned and ran as if running for his life, and jumped onto the small dragon boat in a few steps.

Amid the laughter that grew louder around him again, he lowered his head and sat down in front of the drum and whispered:

“Go, go, go”

Zhang Shun and others hurriedly paddled.

At this time, a female official next to the queen came to Sun and presented the matching precious wooden box full of happy meanings and carvings in her hands.

Mrs. Sun put the jade carving in respectfully.

After leaving the shore for more than ten feet,

Hu Yanjiong looked up and saw that Sun had already put the wooden box into An Mei's hand.

The ladies who were close friends with An Mei gathered around her, wanting to take a closer look at the jade carving in her hand.

Hu Yanjiong smiled and inserted the benchmark in his hand back to its original place.

Seeing this scene,

In Jinming Pond,

Someone threw the drumstick violently into the water.

Then someone on the boat shouted: "Brother, there's another time!"

The man on the boat panicked again and picked up the drumstick from the water.

The boats that had just competed for the bid rowed slowly towards the starting point of the Five Rooms Hall.

The female officials walked towards Linshui Palace in a hurry.

When all the boats were in formation and rested for a while, the female officer returned to the dragon-shaped boat.

Listening to the female officer's vivid description, the emperor smiled and said, "I am indeed a little anxious."

Then the emperor waved his hand,

The internal officer who received the order screamed: "Get up!"

On Jinming Pond,

The drums were noisy again.

Hu Yanjiong’s little dragon boat is still in the lead.

However, it slowed down when it was some distance away from the benchmark.

Afterwards, the two winning boats sailed to Linshui Palace together and received their rewards in the colorful shed in front of the palace.

On the way back to Xu’s tent,

Xu Zaijing was grabbed by Liang Han and fell behind everyone.

Liang Han talked to Xu Zaijing about his 'business model' with great interest.

Xu Zaijing shook his head and said: "Liu Lang, it's better not to make too many moves in front of His Majesty. If you are not careful, you will be guilty of deceiving the emperor."

Liang Han hesitated.

Looking at Liang Han, Xu Zaijing said: "Why don't you give some good things to the general as a prisoner, so that the nobles and wealthy people in Bianjing can have the opportunity to form a dragon boat team, have the opportunity to get good luck, and get the money to help those in need. can also"

Liang Han said, "I am grateful to His Majesty for your kindness."

After finishing the supplement, he added: "But, how much luck can we get in this day?"

"Rokuro, when will the Jinming Pool be opened? We have formed a fleet of dragon boats. How can we use the small dragon boats for free?"

"You can't use it for free on the eighth day of April!"

Xu Zaijing did not continue speaking, but patted Liang Han on the shoulder and walked forward.

It was just after 11 o'clock in the morning

After watching the championship competition,

Some of the noble officials and their families returned to their tents, while others went to a family together to continue the unfinished gossip.

Xu Zaijing entered his tent,

Then he hurriedly met with the ladies present.

Liang Han, who followed, followed suit. After saluting, he walked up to Mrs. Wu and whispered in her ear for a while, and received a reply from Mrs. Wu, "I'll think about it."

After having dinner with Mrs. Sun,

Listening to the ladies and daughters-in-law talking about raising children in the tent, Xu Zaijing and Liang Han looked at each other, stood up, bowed and left the tent.

"Brother Jing, the northwest corner of Jinming Pond is connected to the fishing place next to my polo field. Shall we go fishing?"

"Walk."

At this time, Qi Heng also walked out from the door of Qi's tent not far away. Seeing Xu and Liang, Qi Heng waved and walked over with Buwei and a few servants.

"Brother Jing, Liulang, where are you going?"

Because the distance is more than three miles,

Xu Zaijing and his party of five or six people mounted their horses behind the tent, got out of the fence surrounding the tent, and walked slowly towards the northwest corner of Jinming Pond.

There are merchants setting up stalls all along the way.

The sound of hawking is endless,

The crowd flow is no less than that of previous temple fairs.

Pedestrians and government officials on duty saw the people approaching on horseback and hurriedly gave way.

When a few people were about to reach the northeast corner,

Qi Heng and Liang Han were looking at the things on the roadside stall on the right.

Xu Zaijing was riding on his horse. When he looked around, he saw Ru Lan on his left, who was taking a nap behind the tent, and Ming Lan, who was practicing his golf swing or something.

Minglan felt Xu Zaijing's gaze. After looking over, she threw the wooden pole aside and put her hands behind her back.

Xu Zaijing rode his horse over and asked condescendingly through the fence: "Sixth sister, why didn't you go find sister Hualan?"

Hearing Xu Zaijing’s voice,

Yun Zai, who was outside the tent, took a look and then entered the tent. Soon, Chang Feng and Mo Lan came out.

Ru Lan, who was dozing behind the tent, looked over and said, "Cousin, the third brother took us to look for it, but we couldn't find it until we were halfway there. The third brother was afraid of getting lost, so he brought us back again."

"Why don't you let the servants go look for you first?"

Hearing this,

Feeling Mo Lan's somewhat disgusted look,

Chang Feng on the side was stunned, scratched his head in embarrassment, and then asked: "Brother Jing, what are you doing?"

Liang Han raised the fishing rod in his hand.

"I am coming too!"

After saying that, Chang Feng told the Sheng family boy to buy a fishing rod, and walked to Qiao Jiulang who was riding a horse. The two looked at each other and smiled, Qiao Jiu stretched out his hand, and then followed him on a horse.

After passing the tall Oku house where the boats are stored,

Everyone came to the northwest corner.

Jinming Pond is only open from March to April every year, and no one fishes.

The fish in the pond are naturally too small.

The northwest corner is the water inlet.

Xu Zaijing sat on the horse and saw many fish in the flowing water of the pond.

Give the horse to the boy,

An official from the Jinmingchi Garden took the copper coins handed over by the boy's fishing cart, and then hurriedly presented a small wooden sign allowing fishing.

So, after everyone swung their poles, they sat on the horses under the shade of the trees and fished comfortably.

Fished for three quarters of an hour,

Xu Zaijing looked at the fish food and the empty bucket that he had taken down, then looked at Liang Han's bucket next to him and said:

"Mukuro, let's change places."

Half an hour later,

"Mukuro, let's change back."

An hour later,

Liang Han glanced sideways at Xu Zaijing's bucket, and then at his own floating fish float.

He just lifted the stick early, hoping to miss once.

But looking at the fish swinging on the hook, Liang Liulang turned his head.

He couldn't look at Xu Zaijing proudly anymore, otherwise it would be too cruel.

Xu Zaijing looked at the big black fish swimming beside his float, took a deep breath, and adjusted his mentality.

Then he turned around and took a quick look, pointing to the unused green tiles on the wall behind.

Qingyun was about to go over, but Buwei waved his hand and said: "Brother Qingyun, don't move, I'll come."

After Xu Zaijing took the blue tile, he patted it on the ground.

He shook the broken pieces of green tile in his hand.

After a while, Xu Zaijing waved his hand,

Qingyun, Buwei, and a few other boys quickly picked up a few big fish with white bellies in a net, and then sent the fish to a stall not far away, where they were processed and marinated with salt. .

Xu Zaijing calmed down and continued fishing, and actually caught three fish.

The time of application (4 p.m.)

Xu Zaijing and others returned to the tent on the shore. On the way, they also gave three Lans a live fish each.

The imperial driver left Jinmingchi and returned to the palace

The servants of various houses on the shore quickly packed up.

On the way back to Quyuan Street,

Chu Zhan no longer sat on Qingyun's horse, but sat in the back and helped Shu Bo carry two big fish.

The fish was too big, so Xu Zaijing didn’t want it.

Looking at the big fish, Chu Zhan smacked his lips and then glanced at Shu Bo.

He knew Shu Bo's craftsmanship. The fish was cooked enough for the two of them to eat for several days!

"hey-hey."

In the evening, Shubo cooked fish, which was very fragrant.

But within a day, the fish disappeared from Chu Zhan's sight and appeared on a certain mother's table.

On the second day,

Xu Zaijing did not go to Qionglin Garden south of Jinmingchi.

Instead, he went to Shengjia Academy with his brother.

Xu Zaijing and a few others, the government examination will be next month.

Early March,

The day after the emperor watched the hundreds of plays presented by the armies at Baojin Tower,

The head of the Huyan family came forward and sent a straw note from the eleventh son of the Huyan family.

The marriage discussions between the two families began.

Although Marquis Yongyi is about to leave the capital,

However, the Xu family did not treat Anmei's marriage hastily because of this.

But follow the procedure step by step,

It’s also a show of dignity.

Anmei was also imprisoned in the courtyard by Sun and began to prepare her dowry embroidery.

One day in mid-March,

After morning exercise,

When Xu Zaijing went to Sheng's house,

It started to drizzle in the sky,

Although it was early in the morning and it was still raining, there were still flower sellers singing a cappella in the streets and alleys early.

The sound of singing and selling is clear and audible.

Listening to the sound of singing and selling,

Xu Zaijing opened the car curtain,

Looking at the drizzle outside the car that makes my clothes wet,

In the drizzle, there was a flower seller carrying a shoulder pole. The ends of the pole were covered with wooden boards, and three or four bamboo baskets full of flowers were tied to the wooden boards.

Xu Zaijing in the carriage knocked on the carriage,

When the car stopped, he asked Qingyun Bao Yuan'er to take possession of the flower seller's things.

Looking at the dealer’s somewhat white beard,

When Qingyun gave money, he also gave some more.

When communicating with the flower seller,

From time to time, people from Bianjing holding oil-paper umbrellas walked westward on the street.

Listening to the conversation between the companions, it turned out that they were going to Jinmingchi and Qionglin Garden outside the west city wall as soon as possible.

In the flower seller's thanks, the carriage drove away.

Shengjia

Anzhai today,

Xiaodie happily walked in holding a bouquet of flowers.

There was a little female envoy beside Wei Shuyi, who was taking the veil from Wei Shuyi's hand.

"Mom, look at these flowers, they are so fresh!"

Wei Shuyi turned around and looked at Xiaodie in surprise:

"Why were the flowers delivered so early today?"

"It was sent in by Xu Jiawulang, and the old lady sent some."

"Oh! Xiaodie, bring that woody flower over here."

Listening to Wei Shuyi's words, Xiaodie hurriedly handed over the flowers.

Wei Shuyi took the flower and walked to the dressing table. He picked up the scissors and repaired it before handing it back to Xiaodie. He looked through the prism mirror and directed the flower to be tied into a bun.

"My dear, this flower on the hairpin is so beautiful."

Although Xiaodie was already used to Wei Shuyi's aesthetics, she was still surprised.

In Shou'an Hall,

Wei Shuyi followed Wang Ruofu into the front hall with Sheng Changzhu in his arms.

Looking at the hairpin on Wang Ruofu’s head that perfectly matches his clothes,

Mother Fang and Mother Cui looked at each other in surprise.

Seeing the old lady glancing at Wang Ruofu approvingly, Mother Liu glanced at Wei Shuyi gratefully.

When Sheng Changzhu was learning to walk on the carpet,

In the Shengjia Academy,

Zhuang Xuexue walked in leisurely.

Looking at the flowers on the table, I also picked one, broke off some of the long branches and tied it to my ear.

Smelling the flowers, my face was intoxicated.

"Who sent this?"

After hearing Zhuang Xuexue's words, Xu Zaijing raised his hand and shouted.

In the sound of Zhuang Xuexue's lecture,

Mo Lan took out a carefully threaded blue-covered blank booklet and placed it on the table.

Holding her pen, she looked at the cloudy drizzle in the yard and the various flowers in the lecture hall, and softly chanted:

"I look back lazily at the flowers, half destined to practice Taoism and half destined to be a king."

I was just about to write something on the blank space on the cover.

But he was hit on the head by a paper ball. Looking back, he saw Ru Lan covering her mouth and laughing.

Ignoring Ru Lan, Mo Lan calmly wrote the word "Mo Yuan".

After finishing writing, he nodded with satisfaction.

After an hour,

Zhuang Xuexue rested on his couch,

When Xu Zaijing and others were discussing the model essay for the government examination given by Zhuang Xuexue,

Mo Lan held a flower in her hand and looked at Ru Lan who was concentrating with her eyes closed. She patted Ru Lan's hair with the hand holding the flower.

Taking advantage of the situation, I inserted the flowers.

Ru Lan woke up and looked at Mo Lan with a frown: "What are you doing?"

Seeing that Mo Lan didn't say anything, Ru Lan snorted.

Qi Heng, who heard the conversation, looked over and said,

But he was suddenly amused by the 'outstanding' look on Rulan's head, and burst into laughter.

Ru Lan responded with a confused smile: Hehe.

Others also looked over,

The laughter is endless,

Rulan blinked doubtfully,

Changbai pointed to the top of his head with a serious face,

Only then did Ru Lan react, frowned and raised her head, then threw the flower onto Mo Lan.

It’s not even late March yet,

After school in the evening,

Xu Zaijing was riding in a carriage with green grass,

The wooden box held in Qingcao's arms is a small part of Xu Zaijing's savings in exchange for gold.

We arrived at the entrance of the most famous Wangjia brocade silk shop on Royal Street outside Xuande Tower!

Qingcao looked at the luxurious shop with its carved beams and painted decorations, at the wooden box in his hand, and then at Xu Zaijing.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Zaijing and Qingcao walked out,

The wooden box was gone.

A rather lively member of the staff beside him was beaming with joy. He bowed and followed Xu Zaijing in a very respectful manner and said:

"Don't worry, sir. I, Wang Hanqing, will use the credibility of my decades-old store to guarantee that these ready-made clothes will be delivered to your house before the deadline!"

The shopkeeper who followed behind kept nodding.

"You are so thoughtful, Yuan Wai. Your great-grandfather also came from the Ayajin Academy in Beijing. I can trust him."

Surprise flashed across Wang Hanqing's eyes. The deeper he bowed, the more sincere his smile became.

At the end of March,

Xu Zaijing and Zai Zhang did not go to school.

Early in the morning, I accompanied my mother Sun, my aunt Xu, my sisters-in-law Xie, Sheng, and my cousin Ni to the Yuqing Temple outside the city.

Then the sisters-in-law of the Sun family gathered at Xishuimen, a large group of people.

Just after leaving the city and before reaching the bottom of the mountain, the Sun family got off the carriage.

Xu Zaijing and Zai Zhang also dismounted,

The family and relatives walked towards Yuqing Temple together.

Although they did not kowtow to Guanyin step by step like the eldest lady of the Feng family of Duke Cheng, they started walking from outside the city, and their sincerity was evident.

When everyone arrived at the foot of Yuqingguan Mountain, all the ladies who were accustomed to pampering themselves were already a little tired.

But he still gritted his teeth and went up the mountain to Yuqing Temple.

Entering the majestic hall where incense smoke curled up, when Mrs. Sun and the others put up incense, kowtowed and prayed for peace,

Xu Zaijing lit the incense stick in his hand and inserted it on the incense burner.

He knelt down on the futon sincerely and prayed from the bottom of his heart, praying that his father and brothers could return safely from their trip to Beijing.

When Xu Zaijing finished kowtowing three times, the breeze blew, and the green smoke on the incense sticks in the incense burner slowly drifted away as usual.

at dusk

The carriage with the small flag of 'Wang Family Brocade and Silk' drove into the gate of Xu's house.

The second day

early in the morning,

Di Jing opened her eyes in the private room and said, "What's going on? Brother Jing won't practice in the morning now?"

"Maybe he's warming up."

Ye Fang turned over and muttered.

At this time, a gust of morning wind blew in along with the sound of the door opening.

Qingyun's voice sounded at the door:

"Brother, come out to get your things."

Di Jing and others were stunned, then stood up and put on their clothes.

After a while,

The soldiers came to the racecourse,

I happened to see Xu Zaijing who was drawing his bow and shooting an arrow.

"Do"

The heavy arrow was embedded in the target not far away.

Soon Alan ran in front of everyone carrying a wooden human target.

Di Jing and others gathered around.

Looking at the arrows on the target, they knew the power of Xu Zaijing's big bow.

Then he looked at the armor on the wooden target, looked at the thin cotton armor inside, and then touched the luxurious silk lining that was a little too thick inside.

Everyone looked at the thick pile of silk undershirts of the same style beside them.

They looked at each other in surprise,

"Try it on?"

Before Xu Zaijing finished speaking, everyone began to take off their clothes.

After putting it on,

Everyone excitedly hammered each other's chests.

The last day of March,

The sky is already dark,

Marquis Yongyi will leave the capital soon.

Xu Minghua was eating with his family in the mother's courtyard.

Zhu Qinghu is accompanying his wife.

Di Jing, Feng Dabao, Ye Fang and a group of other soldiers were eating at Shu Bo's stall under the light of the lantern.

Chu Zhan was busy serving food.

Feng Dabao was enjoying the fried chicken and rabbit meat with his eyes closed, and said with a sigh: "In the future."

"Snapped!"

Chu Zhan put one hand on the back of Feng Dabao's head and looked at Feng Dabao who was glaring angrily.

"Shu Bo won't let you talk nonsense."

Di Jing patted Feng Dabao.

Eat and drink enough,

When it came time to check out, Shu Bo went from table to table to collect the food.

"Shu Bo, why don't you have change?"

A soldier from the Hou Mansion asked,

"Go, go, I don't have any change! Let's talk next time!"

The soldiers smiled nonchalantly and returned to the Hou Mansion together.

When all the soldiers entered the mansion,

Shu Bo put away the dishes and sighed: "Just remember that I don't have any change."
