Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

Leave that courtyard,

Mrs. Pan looked at her son beside her with pity:

"Thin."

"It's also dark."

I haven’t seen him in the past few days, and Hu Yanjiong’s face has turned a lot darker.

Mrs. Pan turned over Hu Yanjiong's hand holding her arm as she walked.

Looking at her much rougher hands, Mrs. Pan's nose became sore:

"You must have endured a lot of hardship these days."

Hu Yanjiong turned his head and smiled.

"You're still laughing! Be careful when you meet the Xu family's sister, they won't like you!"

Hu Yanjiong's smile disappeared and he said in a panic: "Mother, has my son changed so much? What should I do?"

Seeing her son's change of face, Mrs. Pan shook her head:

"Huh, I don't know."

Looking at his mother's appearance, Hu Yanjiong hurriedly smiled with her:

"Mother, no matter how your son changes, he is still your biological son!"

Mrs. Pan curled her lips.

The mother and son walked to a courtyard.

Seeing Mrs. Pan and Hu Yanjiong approaching, his servant Fu Ding quickly bowed:

"The little man has met the big lady."

Looking at Fu Ding who had changed even more than Hu Yanjiong, Mrs. Pan looked at Fu Ding with emotion and said:

"You must have endured hardship following your young master."

Fuding bowed and said nothing.

Mrs. Pan smiled and said to the nanny beside her: "Remember for me, when Sister Fuding gets married, I will add a share of Mizhou's shop as a dowry."

"Yes, madam."

Upon hearing this, Fuding quickly bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, madam."

Hu Yanjiong on the side looked at his mother with gratitude in his eyes and said, "Mom, come and take a look."

As he spoke, he took Mrs. Pan on his arm and came to a wooden frame.

Looking at the four large and two small falcons, a total of six falcons, Mrs. Pan turned back to her son in surprise.

"Brother Jiong, you have bought a whole ship of tea from our family, and you just exchanged it for these?"

Hu Yanjiong smiled and said: "Mom, there is only half a boat, and it is still the purple bamboo shoot tea and Yangxian tea that the Bai family and Pan family traded before."

Fuding on the side interjected: "These are just opportunities to enter the hinterland of Jin Kingdom to ask for Haidongqing."

"Where's the rest?"

Hu Yanjiong said: "Many of the remaining ones were given to the leaders of the Jin tribes along the way, and their most powerful eagle catchers were also invited."

Mrs. Pan nodded: "That's good. At least I can make good friends with the leaders. It will be easier for my family to deal with them in the future."

Hu Yanjiong nodded quickly,

"Speaking of this tea, my son also made a joke. When they arrived in the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom, the leaders had no idea how precious Hueyuan tea was."

"Finally, I met a nobleman from the Kingdom of Jin who was traveling with a noble girl from the Northern Liao Dynasty. The noble girl from the Northern Liao Dynasty knew about this tea, so she exchanged the two boxes of valuable Hueyuan tea for several eagle keepers."

As he said this, Hu Yanjiong pointed at a few people in the yard.

Madam Pan asked with a solemn face: "Is there any noble daughter from Bei Liao in the Jin Kingdom?"

Hu Yanjiong nodded: "I heard from them that Jin Kingdom and Beiliao fought several games before. Except for one man named Yelu Ying who tied with them, the others were great victories and won a lot of trophies."

Mrs. Pan looked at the wild geese that were in good spirits in a cage and said:

"Then why did you catch so many?"

Hu Yanjiong blinked and said, "I'm thinking of giving Brother Jing a pair for him to keep and play with."

Mrs. Pan said: "You know how to care for your relatives. Come on, I will tell you about the family affairs."

The mother and son were walking in front, and Fu Ding was following behind.

Mrs. Pan's personal mother whispered a few words to him.

At night,

When Mrs. Pan was getting ready to go to bed, her personal mother served her and said:

"Madam, Fuding said that in the Kingdom of Jin, the eagle catchers only help the young master set up the trap for catching eagles."

"It's all thanks to Young Master and Fu Ding to stay here."

Mrs. Pan nodded:

"I know it."

"Madam, do you want to talk to the Xu family?"

Mrs. Pan pondered for a moment and then said:

"Need not."

Quyuan Street

The sky has completely darkened,

Lanterns were hung around the stables and racecourse;

Beside the lantern,

From time to time, flying insects flew around and bumped into the lanterns.

Alan and Xun Shu, accompanied by their master, were filling the horses with water.

In the open space,

Zhao Meifeng, who had been drinking and talking to Xu Zaijing, stood up, burped and said:

"Brother Jing, I'm leaving first."

"I send you."

As they said that, the two of them walked out, Qingyun carrying the packed food behind them.

Suddenly, Xu Zaijing stopped, took the oil paper bag from Qingyun's hand and said:

"Qingyun, go to the courtyard and get the few remaining custom-made clothes."

"Yes, sir."

At the gate of Xu’s house,

When the concierge heard the arrival, he quickly stood beside the two of them and accompanied them to the door.

The door of Xu's house has been closed, and the two of them walked out of the open side door beside the door.

Seeing the three people under the bright yellow lantern light, the officials from the Imperial City Department outside the door greeted the stall not far away.

After Zhao Meifeng's subordinates came over, Qingyun also ran over panting heavily.

"Brother Zhao, these are the clothes that were custom-made for the soldiers in the mansion. You and a few eldest brothers are wearing them."

Hearing Xu Zaijing's words, several old people from the Imperial City Division who knew what happened to Zhao Mei Peak looked at each other in surprise.

Zhao Meifeng looked at Xu Zaijing, smiled slightly, patted his shoulder and waved,

Gao Yunqing on the side quickly took it from Qingyun:

"Brother Jing still loves us brothers."

Xu Zaijing smiled and said:

"Go! Go! Go."

Saying this, Zhaomeifeng and others got on their horses, said goodbye and left the Hou Mansion.

Watching them go away, when he was about to return home,

A carriage stopped at the door, and a woman dressed as a nun got out of the carriage with two women.

Xu Zaijing did not rush in, but waited for the three people to come to the door.

The concierge rushed forward.

After a conversation, the concierge led the people closer with a seal.

It turned out that the empress in the palace had sent a message to the Cao family. Knowing that these elderly women and children from the Baigao Kingdom were coming to the Xu family, she specially sent people from the family who knew Baigao language to help.

"Exactly. Please follow me, three of you."

Entered the second door,

Xu Zaijing led the three of them directly to Sun's courtyard and into the hall.

Amidst the voice of the female envoy, Mother Bamboo next to Sun was saying something.

Xu Zaijing said:

"Mother! These three are sent by the Cao family and understand Bai Gaoyu."

The nun took the two women and said:

"Hello, Madam! These two are the daughters of Di Di, the former official of the Concierge House of the Ministry of Rites, and are proficient in Bai Gaoyu."

Mrs. Sun said to Aunt Cao with a happy face:

"Just right! Just right! It really solved my urgent need."

"I don't know what to call you two?"

Upon hearing Sun's question, the two of them hurriedly bowed and said:

"My concubine, Mrs. Yu, has met the eldest lady."

"My concubine, Mrs. Li, has met the eldest lady."

Sun nodded happily and said:

"Quickly, take the two of you to the yard and explain it quickly."

After the two ladies were invited to leave, Mrs. Sun spoke to Aunt Cao,

It turned out that there was a language barrier. The elderly, women and children in Baigao Kingdom had never seen rice and did not dare to eat what the female envoys sent.

Mrs. Sun talked to this nanny for a while,

Before leaving, I also sealed some hard-earned money.

After he and his mother sent him to the second gate,

Xu Zaijing was let go after being nagged by Mr. Sun again.

On the way back to my yard,

A figure holding a lantern walked towards Xu Zaijing,

The man who saw Xu Zaijing shouted: "Sir, it's not good! Sister Qingcao has a bad stomach!"

"What!!?"

Xu Zaijing was stunned and said quickly: "Yun Xiang, go find my mother, take the post and invite the doctor."

"Yes, sir."

Xu Zaijing walked quickly towards the yard.

Entered the house,

Under the candlelight, Qingcao was curled up on the couch uncomfortably, humming in pain.

Hua Xiang on the side was wiping the sweat from Qingcao's head with a towel.

"What did you eat at Qi's house?"

Hearing Xu Zaijing's voice, Qingcao on the couch frowned and wanted to get up.

After being waved by Xu Zaijing, he lay down again:

"Young master, this servant didn't eat anything. She only ate a few bowls of ice cream cheese and some hand-washed crabs."

Qingcao hesitated for a moment and then continued: "There are still some watermelons."

"You probably have diarrhea! Bear with it for now, the doctor will be here soon."

"Yes, sir."

"Hua Xiang, don't follow her. Take care of her. If you have anything, remember to tell me."

Hua Xiang on the side bowed and bowed.

Later, Xu Zaijing carried a basin of cold water into the bedroom, ready to wash his face.

Take off your robe,

I just finished washing my face with two handfuls of water, and when I was about to wipe my face,

A cry of surprise came from outside,

Then came the sound of green grass talking

"Hua Xiang! Don't go!"

As soon as he finished speaking,

Outside Xu Zaijing's bedroom door, Hua Xiang said with a crying voice:

"Sir! Sister Qingcao, she's bleeding!"

Xu Zaijing was stunned for a moment, then walked quickly to the door and said, "What? How can your stomach bleed if you eat something bad?"

As Xu Zaijing opened the door and came to the outside, Qingcao said with a crying voice:

"Master, slave, slave, I no longer crave ice cream cheese or hand-washed crabs. Woo woo woo."

"Slave, I will never eat again."

Xu Zaijing was about to go to the couch, but suddenly a flash occurred in his mind and he stopped.

Well, he knew why.

Just when I was thinking about how to say something to comfort Qingcao,

Yun Xiang's voice came from outside the door: "Sir, Mother Zhu is here."

As he said this, footsteps came outside the door,

Next to Mrs. Sun, Mother Zhu, who was already wearing her hair in a woman's bun, entered the room.

Seeing Xu Zai, Jingzhu's mother said, "Brother Jing, leave this to the servants."

Xu Zaijing nodded hurriedly and said: "There is Mother Laozhu."

As Xu Zaijing was about to enter the back room, he paused and said:

"Mother Zhu, Qingcao, she ate a lot of cold things at Qi's house today, you..."

Mother Zhu was stunned and said:

"This slave knows, brother Jing, there is no need to worry, it will be fine."

Qingcao on the couch frowned and looked at Mother Bamboo who had taught her when she entered the Marquis Mansion and said:

"Sister, I won't be greedy anymore."

Mother Zhu chuckled lightly and said, "Yeah, okay."

After finishing speaking, Mother Zhu said: "Hua Xiang, go and get Yu Pozi some hot water."

Flowers want to hurry up should be.

Xu Zaijing returned to his bedroom. After thinking about it for a while, he put on his robe and left his yard.

Arriving at the door of Sun’s courtyard,

After hesitating at the door for a while, Xu Zaijing walked in.

Mrs. Sun, who was collecting the keys to the Hou Mansion with her two daughters-in-law, glanced at her youngest son doubtfully and said:

"Jinger, what's wrong?"

Xu Zaijing glanced at the two sisters-in-law with an embarrassed expression and said:

"Mother, my son has something to tell you."

Mrs. Sun understood, signaled to her two daughters-in-law, and walked out from behind the table.

Coming to the side, Sun said:

"Say it."

Xu Zaijing lowered his head and said:

"Mother, baby, baby, I want to say, in addition to keeping warm, cotton has other functions, you may be able to..."

Mrs. Sun looked up and down at her son who was hesitant to speak and said:

"Why, do you know what happened to Qingcao today?"

Xu Zaijing nodded:

"Um"

Sun continued to ask:

"So you thought about the cotton at home?"

"Um."

Immediately, Mrs. Sun gave her son, who had his head lowered, a disgusted look and said:

"Tsk! This is considered filial piety! Go!"

Xu Zaijing looked up at his mother in surprise.

Mrs. Sun looked at her youngest son and said:

"What, you bleed every month too?"

"Wait until you think about it? Do you really think that our women are fools? Humph!"

Xu Zaijing's head hung lower.

"Go ahead, your mother and I will make arrangements."

Xu Zaijing hurriedly handed over his hands and ran out of Sun's yard as if running for his life.

Behind him, Sun's voice came:

"He is also someone who can hurt others."

Seeing Xu Zaijing disappear into the yard in a few steps, Sun smiled and shook his head and returned to the house.

Seeing Mrs. Sun's appearance, Mr. Xie said:

"Mom, is Xiao Wu okay?"

When Yun Xiang came to report just now, Hualan and Xie happened to arrive at Sun's yard. They were both women, so they naturally knew what happened to Qingcao.

Sun said:

"Tell me about cotton, you smartass."

"Tsk, I used him a few years ago."

Hearing Sun's words, Xie and Hualan looked at each other slightly sheepishly, then chuckled.

They are all women, but they are not as shy as little girls.

In the powder shops that Gu, Liang, Cao, etc. have good relations with Yongyi Houfu, they don't just sell cotton.

On the way back,

Xu Zaijing knocked on his head,

Annoyed, he muttered to himself: "I'm so stupid, how could my mother not think of this!"

In fact, it’s not Xu Zaijing’s fault. After all, the first thing he thought of when he saw cotton was to keep warm, and the second thing he thought of was making cotton armor.

He has no stomachache or bleeding every month.

The two sisters never complained about stomachaches or anything.

If it weren't for Qingcao, he really wouldn't think about making it convenient for girls.

Returned to his yard,

Mother Bamboo had left at this time.

Xu Zaijing went straight into his bedroom.

Then he fell straight onto the bed. After a few frantic moments on the bed in frustration, he sighed.

after awhile,

Xu Zaijing got up and came to the room where Qingcao was.

Seeing Xu Zaijing come in, Hua Xiang hurriedly put a bunch of things in the cupboard and said:

"Mr. Master, why didn't you say a word when you came?"

Yun Xiang lowered his head and walked out with a basin of water.

Xu Zaijing nodded and said, "Well, pay attention in the future."

After saying that, Xu Zaijing came to Qingcao's couch, looked at Qingcao holding Mrs. Tang and said:

"Don't get up early in the next few days. I'll go do morning exercises by myself."

Qingcao leaned on the small stool on the couch, lowered his head and hummed.

"Hua Xiang and Yun Xiang, close the windows later, and you two will take care of her. Chang Pozi is often changed, and if it's too hot, put something under her."

"Yes, sir."

Then Xu Zaijing got up and went into the bedroom, lying on the couch. A gust of night wind blew through the room, and Xu Zaijing breathed out a comfortable sigh.

midnight,

Qingcao ate too many cold things during the day,

I still have some pain in my stomach,

Half asleep and half awake,

Buzz~~~

The mosquito just chirped twice,

"Snapped"

A pair of hands clapped, and the sound of mosquitoes disappeared.

Then a voice said softly: "Go to sleep."

After a while,

The voices of Hua Xiang and Yun Xiang talking came,

"Sister, hurry up."

The mosquito-repellent scent wafted through the house again.

On the second day,

early in the morning,

Xu Zaijing himself came to the racecourse,

All the things that were borrowed before have been sent to the previous room.

Judging from the workmanship, it is indeed much better than before.

Beside the racecourse, Alan and Xun Shu were being beaten with a stick by Xu Zaijing's master.

Because when they were practicing basic skills, they were always attracted by the sound of Xu Zaijing drawing his bow and shooting.

After all, Xu Zaijing was riding a horse, and arrows were flying over their heads. It was difficult not to be affected.

Half an hour later, Qingyun gasped and threw the heavy iron-covered shield on the ground.

It's really a torture to drag such a heavy shield around and take heavy arrows from time to time.

took a shower,

Xu Zaijing changed his clothes and had breakfast in his mother's courtyard.

When she went back to get the bookcase, Qingcao had just finished drinking the warming decoction sent from the kitchen.

After Xu Zaijing said a few words to let her have a good rest, he took Yun Xiang to the book school.

on the road,

Zai Zhang looked over at him with unknown eyes from time to time. Xu Zaijing looked back, but Zai Zhang did not speak.

Arriving at Sheng’s house,

Yun Xiang appeared in front of everyone for the first time, which surprised the three Lans of the Sheng family.

Xiao Xiaotao didn't know why, but she had been a little unhappy since morning.

Tingye and Changfeng even looked back several times throughout the morning.

Sometimes he looks at his servant, sometimes he looks at Xu Zaijing.

During lunch break,

Qi Heng asked in a low voice next to Xu Zaijing:

"Brother Jing, you, the envoy, look familiar to me."

Xu Zaijing said: "It was a gift from the Marquis of Xiangyang. Have you seen it at your maternal grandfather's house before?"

Qi Heng nodded with a look of enlightenment:

"They were still young at that time, no wonder."

Minglan on the side listened to Xiao Xiaotao's words and looked at Xu Zaijing doubtfully.

in the afternoon,

Xuexue Zhuang coughed and said:

"Chang Feng, come and recite Ji's chapter of The Analects of Confucius."

Chang Feng quickly stood up and thought for a moment:

".A gentleman has three precepts: when he is young and his blood is not stable, the precepts lie in his appearance."

When Chang Feng finished carrying it, Xu Zaijing's expression did not change.

Gu Tingye and Chang Feng looked at each other with unknown meaning.

After school,

Before leaving, Mo Lan looked at Yun Xiang, who was helping Xu Zaijing pack his book box, and left the school without saying anything.

Minglan, who was rare, left late.

Seeing Xu Zaijing packing the book box, she hurriedly followed him, glanced at Yun Xiang and said:

"Cousin, will Qingcao come again in the future?"

Xiao Xiaotao looked at Xu Zaijing cutely, as if she was about to hear some bad news.

Xu Zaijing said: "Come on, she hasn't been feeling well these days."

"oh!"

Minglan glanced at Xiaotao happily and then waved to Xu Zaijing:

"Cousin, see you tomorrow."

Went out and got on the carriage,

Xu Zaijing returned to Quyuan Street,

Near the stables, Xu Zaijing and Zai Zhang got off the carriage and went to see their master.

Xu Zaijing found a few more horses in the stable.

After asking Alan, he found out that two more people from Bai Gao Kingdom came to the house during the day.

When Xu Zaijing was wondering who it was, two young men walked out from the door of the courtyard where women and children were placed near the racecourse.

Seeing Xu Zaijing, the two people came over and bowed to Xu Zaijing in a dignified manner using Zhou etiquette.

Xu Zaijing smiled and said: "Why is it you?"

The two brothers Li Taotie/Xie Mei were a little embarrassed and said in Dazhou dialect:

"We used to help them speak, but now they have almost learned Dazhou dialect,"

"There are still those people in the yard to take care of, so we are back. After all, we haven't learned the things about cavalry and infantry yet."

Those people are naturally the relatives of the young generals of Bai Gao Kingdom.

Xu Zaijing scratched his head and realized that the two ladies before were not the people Zhaomeifeng said!
