Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

The Gu family's carriage stopped directly at the second door of Chai's house.

Gu Tingyi walked out of the carriage with the Gu family's female envoy.

The two girls, whom I hadn't seen for a while, hugged each other affectionately.

After the two separated, Gu Tingyi turned sideways and said:

"Here, I heard that you wanted me to bring you a maid who made good tea soup and tied her hair into a bun. I have asked for help."

Seeing Gu Tingyi turning sideways, Qingzhi and Qingcao hurriedly bowed and said, "I've seen the girl!"

Yun Mu, who was beside Chai Zhengzheng, also returned the gift with a smile.

"Ha! This is not the first time that these two female envoys and I have met! Let's go into the courtyard!"

As he spoke, Chai Zhengzheng took Gu Tingyi's hand and walked towards the courtyard.

When Gu Tingyi was sensible, Mrs. Bai had already established a firm foothold in the Gu family.

The industry of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, which founded the country and assisted in the development of the country, has been accumulated for many years.

The reason why he was forced into desperation was because there were silverfish in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion itself and it was caused by poor management.

After Bai's marriage, all the gold and silver went into the accounts of Ningyuan Houfu.

After the death of Gu Yankai's parents,

Under the influence of Xu Zaijing, Mrs. Bai not only did not die prematurely, but also further established a foothold in Bianjing.

As the mistress and eldest lady, she quickly took control of the Ningyuan Hou Mansion and managed the Gu family's industry with great success.

Therefore, Gu Tingyi has been well-informed and accustomed to wealth since he was a child.

After entering Chai Mansion,

Gu Tingyi's eyes couldn't help but estimate the value of the things she saw. As a result, she was a little overwhelmed.

After all, the Chai family has been accumulating wealth since the founding of the country and has never encountered difficulties.

Moreover, there are some exquisite and extremely time-consuming furnishing objects that are rarely seen in the duke's mansion if they are not given by the emperor.

And Chai Fuzhong

Gu Tingyi shook his head slightly beside Chai Zhengzheng,

It makes the jewelry on the head jingle,

Entering the front hall, Gu Tingyi closed his eyes in pain and said:

"Zhengzheng, compared with your family, my family is really poor."

Chai Zhengzheng smiled and said, "Where is it?"

Gu Tingyi walked to an ornament and said:

"Yes, this jade flower smoke alone probably took craftsmen decades to carve!"

"I don't want to say anything else. Zhengzheng, if I'm going to be in trouble in the future, you have to help me!"

"Just give me this jade fragrance, and I will be able to turn over!"

Chai Zhengzheng laughed when he heard Gu Tingyi's naughty words.

While walking and talking, Gu Tingyi was startled from time to time and talked about the wealth of the Chai family.

After sighing at the clumsy shape of the hanging curtain at the door, the jade magatama is of outstanding quality,

Everyone came to Chai Zhengzheng's bedroom.

Gu Tingyi saw the puppet armor in the corner at a glance.

When he got closer, Gu Tingyi turned around and asked Chai Zhengzheng:

"Zhengzheng, is this some kind of precious treasure armor? Look at it like this. Huh?"

As he spoke, Gu Tingyi carefully looked at the texture of the armor and puppet, shook his head in confusion and said:

"This wood is good. Is it the material of this armor? There must be something inside it. I have too little experience to tell the difference."

"Deng Deng!"

As he spoke, Gu Tingyi tapped the maces on his armor's waist and nodded.

Chai Zhengzheng smiled slightly and said, "Where there is, it's just Ping."

Before she spoke, she saw the surprise and shock in the eyes of Qingcao behind her.

"It's the armor he wore when he was fighting against Yanzhou."

As soon as these words came out, Qingcao looked embarrassed and lowered his head in shame.

Along the way, I heard Gu Tingyi casually say that any piece of armor is a treasure. How could this armor be used by his own master!

Gu Tingyi, who was next to the armor, sighed with shining eyes:

"Wow, that's an antique that's many years old! It's been so well maintained!"

Chai Zhengzheng's eyes were a little embarrassed:

"Well! Let's go! Let's go somewhere else."

As he said that, Gu Tingyi and Chai Zhengzheng were walking in front,

The crowd followed behind,

Qing Zhi looked curiously at Qing Cao, who looked a little uncomfortable, and whispered:

"What's wrong?"

"Sister Qingzhi, when I entered the house, I thought that the armor was worn by the young master for morning exercises!"

"The body shape and style are so similar!"

Chai Zhengzheng was paying attention to the words behind him. After hearing this, he praised himself for his quick wit.

Qingzhi said:

"Perhaps you are mistaken."

Qingcao nodded, but he always felt that something was wrong.

Soon, everyone left the hall, but Qingcao's eyes widened and he suddenly stopped at the door.

Qing Zhi in front looked over in confusion: "Huh?"

Qingcao quickly scratched his forehead and said, "It's a little itchy."

Then he lowered his head and followed, but Qingcao was a little shocked and his heartbeat was a little accelerated!

She remembered something was wrong.

The armor is okay,

But the leather belt with double maces stuck around the waist of the armor was made by herself!

The mace reins (such as sword reins, the ropes worn around the wrists when in use) tied to the handles of the double mace were also braided by her.

At that time, she knew that Xu Zaijing’s things had been given away by her mistress:

‘It turns out it was given to this girl! Could it be’

Qingcao suppressed the turmoil in her heart, stopped thinking about it, and continued to follow Qingzhi.

Chai Zhengzheng, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and a thought flashed through his mind:

"Oops! The fifth lady of the Zhang family! What if she knows the armor style?"

Afterwards, Chai Zhengzheng called Yunmu closer and whispered a few words in his ear.

Soon the armor was moved away for maintenance.

When the fifth lady of the Zhang family came, there were not many people in Chai Mansion who sighed as much as Ting Yi.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m so obsessed with playing polo that I don’t care about the value of those inconspicuous things.

Or because there are many good things in the British government, or they are all there.

but,

Like Ting Yi, he was full of admiration for the jade fragrance ornament.

The subsequent guests did not have the opportunity to enter Chai Zhengzheng's bedroom. Most of them walked around the front hall and then went to the yard behind.

At this time, the autumn air is crisp,

Under the bright sunshine,

In the corridors of the yard and under the shade of trees,

The Chai family's maid has prepared a stove for making tea, a porcelain vase for arranging flowers, tools for incense, scrolls for hanging paintings, combs for hair, and things for women.

Six girls from the third room of the Lu family came,

Chai Zhengzheng stood at the door of the Moon Cave, chatting with them for a while, and asked whether Lu Zezong was frightened and how he was recovering, which earned him the thanks of the girls of the Lu family.

I also 'accidentally' learned a lot of the preferences of this young master Lu.

While he was talking, the female envoy came to Chai Zhengzheng:

"Girl, Miss Feiyan from the Rong family is here and she brought something different."

Upon hearing this, Chai Zhengzheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and explained to the girls of the Lu family, and then walked to greet them.

Sure enough, when he got closer, Chai Zhengzheng saw the female servant behind the Rong family girl, holding a soft bow and a pot of feather arrows in her arms.

"Sister Chai, Qiu An."

Rong Feiyan knelt down and saluted Chai Zhengzheng very neatly.

"Feiyan sister Qiu'an, please come inside."

As he spoke, Chai Zhengzheng stretched out his hand towards Rong Feiyan,

Rong Feiyan was stunned and hurriedly pulled her up, thinking about herself again and again.

Arriving at the party courtyard, there was another wave of salutes and greetings.

This elegant gathering,

The first step is to taste tea.

The girls asked their maids to make tea one after another. Except that they could not drink the tea from their own maids, they could all taste the tea.

After tasting, write down your favorite flavors on a piece of paper and give it to Chai Zhengzheng,

As the master, Chai Zhengzheng will only leave the three female envoys with the most votes to be responsible for today's tea making.

As expected, Qingzhi's fresh fruit tea with cream received the most votes.

Then came the bun-tying. Naturally, it was not the girls but the envoys or nuns who were following.

Qingcao, who has been learning crafts from Fang's mother since Yangzhou, is very confident in tying her hair into a bun, and attracted everyone's attention as soon as she did it.

The hair tied up in a bun is even more beautiful, and any noble lady will soon have to try it herself.

The first person to ask her to tidy up her hair was Miss Feiyan from the Rong family.

It has to be said that Qingcao is not very old, but a famous teacher has produced a great disciple. The bun she gave Rong Feiyan is very beautiful, and her appearance seems to have improved.

The female envoy beside Rong Feiyan followed Qingcao to ask for some tips.

After a lot of fun, most of the ladies changed the shape of their buns, and some found a bun shape that highlighted their facial features and was more suitable for them.

Qingcao was also there, learning a lot of new bun styles, and then sighed, who should she tie?

"That's right! Hua Xiang and Yun Xiang!"

The ladies who had changed their hairstyles went to study incense together again.

The smell of incense burned by the girls of the Lu family was loved by many noble ladies, who all asked for advice on the ratio of spices.

Chai Zhengzheng was listening to their words, and was stunned for a while.

‘What kind of lychee shell can be incense? ’

‘Is ambergris so hard to find? ’

‘Isn’t this porcelain stove that precious? ’

But she didn't say it out loud, she just listened.

Chai Zhengzheng, like Wuniang of the Li family, heard some tips she had never heard of before, and from time to time took out her purple hair and wrote it down on paper, looking very eager to learn.

Noon,

Everyone had lunch in the hall,

The chef of the Chai family was cooking, but he didn't let everyone cook and eat, but only exchanged a few recipes.

In the afternoon, everyone was arranging flowers in the corridor.

After everyone's discussion, they all agreed that the flower arrangement work of the Rong family girl was the most beautiful.

Rong Feiyan bowed in front of everyone and said:

"I have a little secret for my sisters!"

Looking at Chai Zhengzheng who also looked curious, Rong Feiyan smiled and said:

"If the sum of the height of the vase and the diameter of the vase is ten, then the best length of the flower branches is sixteen."

Hearing this, the other ladies showed curious expressions.

"Let me give it a try!"

Someone from the Lu family said.

Soon, a noble lady sighed:

"Wow! It's true! The same flowers and branches look much better according to Miss Feiyan's method!"

The female envoys who were listening to the class quickly remembered this in their own way.

Chai Zhengzheng told the ladies some things to pay attention to when hanging paintings, such as putting away paintings when the weather is extremely cold or hot, and several types of smoky incense that should not be burned.

After some exchanges and fun, the noble ladies understood a lot of things.

Finally, Rong Feiyan took out his soft bow,

After a shy look at the five ladies of the Zhang family, Rong Feiyan put on her finger and drew her bow, looking sideways at the ladies and said:

"This is a soft bow that I have been practicing for a long time. I found that practicing it from time to time can soothe my mind and exercise my eyesight! Let's discuss it with my sisters today."

Without turning around to take aim, Rong Feiyan released his fingers.

"Do"

The light white-feathered arrow was nailed to the grass target not far away.

Zhang Jiawu Niang looked at it blankly at first, then turned her dark eyes and shouted:

"Ah! Your posture! It looks very similar to the fifth brother of the Xu family!"

Chai Zhengzheng looked surprised: "Huh????"

Gu Tingyi on the side had seen it before, and she nodded in agreement.

Chai Zhengzheng on the side quickly pulled her a few times, looking at Chai Zhengzheng's expression,

Ting Yi explained a few words softly.

While talking, the fifth lady of the Zhang family had already walked to Rong Feiyan, pulled the soft bow,

Then Wu Niang pinched Rong Feiyan's arm and asked Rong Feiyan to touch her upper arm through her sleeve.

"Sister Feiyan, come to my house to play when you have time, and I'll show you my bow and arrows!"

Rong Feiyan was a little ashamed and lowered her head in embarrassment.

After Wuniang came down, Gu Tingyi quickly caught her in front of Chai Zhengzheng. The two squeezed Wuniang's arms.

As a result, there was no sound when pinched.

On the other side, Yunmu was talking to Qingzhi and Qingcao:

"Are you also from Xiaoliangshan? I met a sister before. She is from Xiaoliangshan, Wushang County. Is she the same place as you?"

Hearing this, Qingzhi and Qingcao nodded quickly and asked, "What is this sister's name?"

"Listen to her, it was snowing when I was born, so I called it snowing."

"But your surname is Wei?"

Yunmu nodded.

"Sister Wei!!! Where is she?"

Seeing Qingcao's happy look, Yunmu said, "Do you know her?"

"Yes, we know each other! We were brought out of the same village by Yaxing, but we separated in Bianjing. Sister Yunmu, do you know where she is?"

Thinking of Chai Zhengzheng's instructions, Yunmu said: "She had a cold before. Although she received acupuncture and took medicine, she didn't get through it."

Qingcao and Qingzhi became frustrated instantly.

"Does she still have family?"

Qingzhi and Qingcao looked at each other and shook their heads.

Chai Mansion,

All the guests have left,

Mrs. Chai and Chai Zhengzheng finished listening to Yunmu's story.

"Are you sure you are talking about Qingxue?"

"Yes, girl, I also checked the characteristics of the tear mole at the corner of the eye with Qingcao and the others, and they are exactly the same."

"All my family is gone"

Yunmu nodded.

"Mother, does she treat me as a relative?"

Mrs. Chai patted Chai Zhengzheng's hand and said, "Zhengzheng, don't be sad."

"Don't be sad, let's do some more research on our family! From now on, I will adopt a younger brother to the Qingxue family, and we will continue to have a good relationship with him!"

"Zheng'er, stop crying, Qingxue hates seeing you cry the most!"

Chai Zhengzheng nodded.

The Gu family's carriage took Qingcao back to Quyuan Street.

After getting off the carriage,

Qingcao returned to the courtyard holding the reward given by Tingyi.

Seeing Qingcao's unhappy eyes with red circles, Sister Huaxiang hurriedly came over.

After some careful questioning, I found out the whole story.

Of course some comfort is indispensable.

When Xu Zaijing came back, the grass was much better, but his nose was still blocked from crying.

Xu Zaijing sighed after hearing what Hua wanted to say: "Well, do you still remember what this girl looks like?"

Qingcao was stunned, shook his head and whispered: "Sir, in fact, I have almost forgotten the appearance of my family."

Xu Zaijing rubbed her hair, said nothing, and just smiled at her.

Hua Xiang and Yun Xiang on the side held her hands.

Qingcao didn't know why, but his heart felt warm.

Then some things about the Chai family came to mind.

When Xu Zaijing sat on the bed, he handed the clothes to Qingcao. After putting Qingcao away, he stood beside the bed:

“Sir, there’s something I need to do”

"explain!"

"That's right, that's right, Miss Zhengzheng of the Chai family has your mace in her room, and it seems she also has your armor."

Xu Zaijing raised his eyebrows and said, "How did you recognize him?"

"I didn't change the belt."

Xu Zaijing nodded and said:

"Uh! Got it! Don't spread the word!"

"Yes, Master! There is also Miss Feiyan."

Xu Zaijing didn't finish listening and continued: "Don't spread the word!"

"oh"

Qingcao: Isn’t it also forbidden for Miss Feiyan to draw a bow and shoot an arrow?
