Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

"ah?"

Liang Han, Qiao Jiu and others all looked puzzled.

Rongxian came back to his senses and looked sideways at the expressions of the young men beside him.

There was no trace of embarrassment on his face. He glanced up and down at Liang Han and raised his eyebrows.

"laugh"

After scoffing, Rong Xian curled his lips, shook his head and turned towards the hall.

Gu Tingye was the first to react:

"What does he mean?"

Qiao Jiu said: "It seems that they look down on us!"

After several people looked at each other, they all ran a few steps quickly and gathered around.

"Brother Xian, what did you mean just now?"

"Yes! What are you laughing at!"

Rongxian didn’t drink too much at this time;

He glanced at Gu Tingye, who was slightly shorter than him, then looked at the other people who were drinking, and said pretentiously:

"You are still young and your blood is not yet determined!"

"Don't ask about adults' matters."

After hearing this, everyone chased after him and had another fight.

When we entered the house, the maids and servants had already served tea, which was helpful for relieving hangover and digesting food.

Everyone played for another two quarters of an hour.

At this time Buwei walked in from outside the door and said in Qi Heng's ear:

"Young Master, the princess has sent nanny to urge you."

Qi Heng was stunned and nodded. While everyone was talking, Qi Heng raised the tea soup and said:

"My mother in the house is urging me to go back, so I'll take my leave now."

Liang Han on the side said:

"It's not early, why don't we break up?"

Gu Tingye said:

"That's fine!"

With that said, the maids and servants brought by everyone began to dress and organize the utensils.

Buwei, who returned to the side room, looked at the servant girl from the Qiao family and said a few words.

When he was about to leave, Buwei came to Qingyun with a three-layered food box in his hand:

"Brother Qingyun, I just saw that the female envoy in the mansion likes these aquatic products and asked for more."

Qingyun looked indifferent and did not look back at Qingcao and the others. He smiled and nodded: "I'm interested."

The three female envoys who followed Qingyun all smiled and bowed to him.

Buwei bowed his hands and followed Qi Heng out of the hall.

The sun is still high,

After everyone left the hall, they got on the carriage one after another, and amid the sound of farewell,

The carriages of Gu Rongliang and Qiao's family went in one direction.

In the carriage returning to Quyuan Street,

Qingcao and Hua thought about the three female servants, and their eyes occasionally glanced at the huge food box placed in the middle.

Today I either served food or made tea. I had little time to eat and I was very hungry at this time.

"It's already cold, wait until it's hot at home before eating! Qingyun, I want three small bowls of bone dumplings!"

"Yes, sir."

After walking for a while, I came across a wonton stall.

The Xu family's carriage and horses stopped, Qingyun walked to the stall after picking out three bowls from the utensils he brought.

When in the carriage I heard Chu Zhan’s voice greeting guests on the roadside,

Everyone knew they were coming home.

At this time, Qingyun beside the carriage said: "Sir, it seems that we have a visitor."

After seeing Xu Zaijing's eyes, Yun Xiang, who was close, opened the car door.

Xu Zaijing looked around and saw a dozen fully loaded flatbed trucks covered with oilcloths driving towards the door of Xu's house, with small flags with the word "blessing" on them.

Xu Zaijing glanced at Qingcao again, Qingcao quickly lifted the food box in front of his legs, and Xu Zaijing stepped out of the carriage.

Qingcao followed and walked down. When the carriage and Qingyun's horse were led into the house by the boy at the door,

There was a sound of ‘Ouch’,

The motorcade arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion.

The leader was a government official:

"The villain Li Mubai has seen the yamen. He saw the old man asking for directions on the street near Fan Tower, so he brought him here."

Xu Zaijing raised his hand and returned the gesture: "Thank you very much."

Qingyun behind him walked towards the Yamen servant and said, "Please come this way."

A well-dressed old man in the motorcade also came up. After looking at Xu Zaijing carefully, he said:

"You are Wulang. I haven't seen you for a long time, but you have grown taller."

Xu Zaijing bowed and cupped his hands:

"I've met Grandpa Seven."

The old man is Xu Zaijing's uncle's seventh uncle.

When he heard Xu Zaijing calling someone, the old man's eyes were full of surprise and he smiled:

"I didn't expect Goro to recognize me, good boy!"

After the salute, Xu Zaijing held the old man's hand and said:

"Please come inside quickly."

The old man smiled with a smile on his face, patted Xu Zaijing's hand and said: "Okay, okay!"

While we were talking, a few young men in the motorcade came to the front.

The old man turned around and said, "Call me Fifth Cousin."

The uncle's voice continued for a while, Xu Zaijing smiled and nodded.

The government officials who had received the reward were also waiting for a break to talk.

After the boys finished calling, the government servants headed by Li Mubai bowed and said goodbye.

After walking for more than ten steps, the government servant next to Li Mubai said:

"Boss Li, I didn't expect that the legitimate son of the Xu family would get off the carriage and greet this old relative from the countryside in person."

Li Mubai smiled and threw the purse in his hand to the person who spoke.

"Oh! Generous!"

At the gate,

After Xu Zaijing nodded, he shouted towards the stall: "Xiao Chu, come here!"

Chacha, Chu Zhan ran over,

"Master!"

"Give hot drinks to the horse masters and come in to play with them after your work."

"Yes, sir."

The old man in front of Xu Zaijing raised his chin, and the few young men who followed him chased Chu Zhan.

After hearing this, Shu Bo, who was not far away, hung a cloth strip with the word "rest stall" on the cloth shed.

When Chu Zhan and the others came over, Shu Bo dipped the porcelain bowl in the hot water. Chu Zhan placed the porcelain bowl, and then the spicy soup on the stove was poured into the bowl.

Several boys who followed quickly helped carry the bowls.

In the stall next to him, the stall owner, who was about the same age as Shu Bo, had already placed warm water, put a towel on his shoulders, and walked towards the horsemen driving the cart with a basin in his hand.

"Guys, wash your hands!"

The grooms, who were holding riding whips and standing next to the carriage, looking at the Xu family's towering courtyard wall with sighs, heard this and hurriedly said words of thanks.

After wiping my hands, the hot soup was served.

He walked to the stall owner holding a basin at the back and said, "Wait while I change the water."

"Hey, no need to change"

"Grandpa Seven, come into the house."

"Okay, let this car come in!"

Xu Zaijing waved his hand, and the concierge boy hurriedly walked up and led the draft horse into Xu's house.

As soon as she entered the door, Mrs. Sun had already led her two daughters-in-law and daughter here and gave them a blessing:

"Uncle Seven."

"I've met the eldest lady."

The old man bowed his hands and saluted,

"Why are you still saluting! This one belongs to Dalang's family and Sanlang's family!"

Xie and Sheng hurriedly called for help.

Then Sun said: "Please come in quickly."

"Mother, Grandpa Seventh specially asked this carriage to come in. Why don't you take a look?"

Sun's eyes lit up and she said, "Jing'er is talking about Uncle Qi?"

The old man smiled even more happily, lifted up the oilcloth on the trolley and said:

"Madam, these are the winter vegetables, winter melons, and radish (radish) produced on our Zhujiazhuangzi."

"The outer leaves of winter vegetables are not peeled off, so they look ugly."

Looking at the cart of vegetables, Sun smiled and said, "Uncle Qi, I understand! Then we can go in!"

"Hahaha! Let's go!"

Xu Zaijing on the side interrupted: "Mom, there are more than a dozen cars outside!"

The seventh master of the Zhu family said: "They are all the same as this car!"

Everyone entered the front hall talking and laughing.

The old man was not restrained and nodded with admiration in his eyes after taking a sip of tea.

"The dozens of hectares of fields our family has by the river are all producing good harvests."

"The watermelons also sold for a lot of money."

"There is a noble young master named Rong."

At this time, a female envoy announced:

"Madam, the eldest lady of the Zhu family is here."

Soon, Xu Zaijing's aunt entered the hall accompanied by her daughter-in-law.

Looking at Mrs. Xu who has returned to normal,

The old man nodded happily, and then looked at Mrs. Ni again.

Although the old man hesitated to speak, he finally said nothing.

At dinner,

Xu Zaijing and his elder brother drank some wine with the seventh grandfather, and the boys from the Zhu family who followed across the screen also ate happily.

at this time,

The jockey masters at the door had already eaten and drank, and some were sitting on the carriages talking.

Some were led by the Xu family's servants and drove away from Quyuan Street and headed elsewhere.

Jiying Lane

Shengjia

Shouantang

Minglan, who was wrapping the anti-slip rope around the handle of the polo pole with the old lady, suddenly raised her head.

Listening to some noise outside.

The old lady also heard it, and soon Cui’s mother came over and said:

"Old lady, the Hou Mansion sent a cart of winter vegetables, saying it was from relatives in Xiangzhou."

The old lady smiled and nodded:

"When the village on the outskirts of Beijing produces more, I will send some as well."

"Yes, madam."

After hearing this, Minglan said: "Grandma, how far is it from Xiangzhou? Why don't you just give me the money?"

The old lady looked into Minglan's eyes and said:

"Tomorrow, some things cannot be measured by money alone."

"Money can buy winter vegetables, but it cannot buy this kind of heart."

Minglan nodded in understanding.

The old lady, whose net worth was unknown, said with an unclear look in her eyes:

"Money. Humph. You have to remember tomorrow that using money to seal a person's mouth is the stupidest way."

"If you can use money to shut her up, then you will have more money to make her talk."

Minglan blinked and said, "Grandma, are you saying that money doesn't work anymore after you have your heart?"

The old lady said: "This is a matter of judgment. Let's not talk about this anymore!"

After saying that, the old lady smiled and said, "Tomorrow, let's go to Zhuangzi. Are you happy?"

Minglan nodded quickly.

On the second day,

Before dawn,

Xu Zaijing rode a Liju and accompanied his relatives to the north gate of Bianjing with his elder brother.

Some of the carriages of the traveling masters were refilled with large wooden barrels containing pickled crabs, clams and other things, which the Hou Mansion purchased at Qiao's house last night.

Some are filled with silk and satin, and there are quite a few of these in the Xu family's warehouse.

When the city gate is opened,

Countless carriages carrying winter vegetables and other winter vegetables poured in from outside.

The beginning of winter is approaching, and everyone in Bianjing, no matter how distinguished they are, must start stocking up on vegetables for the winter.

outside the city,

Xu Zaijing and his brother waved again, and the motorcade quickly disappeared on the official road before dawn.

When I came back, I passed Panlou and the sky was already bright.

Several noble young men who were stretching at the door of Panlou saw Xu Zaijing in the distance,

He hurriedly hid back in Panlouzhong

Qingyun, who was riding behind Xu Zaijing, shook his head: These brothers are so unsure of their son's eyesight!
