Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

It seems that the fragrance from Tuo Xihou's family is particularly good.

Or the opera troupe hired by the Cao family sang beautifully,

At this time (after nine o'clock in the morning), we all arrived and started the party.

The ladies of each family stayed until Shen Shi (after three o'clock in the afternoon).

When Xu Zaijing took his servant girl and his brother to Quyuan Street,

Mrs. Sun's carriage also just entered the Xu family gate.

Xu Zaijing came to the carriage on horseback, dismounted neatly, threw the reins to Qingyun, and then reached out to help his mother get out of the carriage.

"Mom, why are you back so late?"

"I just went to the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion with your aunt from the Bai family to see your sister."

"How are you doing, sister?"

"Yeah! It looks better than when I was pregnant! Brother Zhang, what are you carrying in your hand?"

Zai Zhang, who dismounted, raised the food box and said:

"Mom, these are some dishes brought to the house by my great-aunt. They were just cooked after school."

Give the food box to Dan's mother to heat it up.

The mother and son walked towards the mother's courtyard,

When they were almost there, Xie and Hualan also rushed over.

After entering the house and serving tea, Mother Zhu took the female envoy outside the door at Sun's signal.

"Today, each family collected 150,000 guan of silver notes and prepared to buy the gold."

"The four families of Cao, Zhang and Gu Qi have pooled together one hundred thousand guan, and our family has pooled 50,000 guan."

"When the dust settles, I don't know how much it can be sold for."

Everyone in the hall nodded.

Xu Zaijing took the tea cup and warmed his hands and said:

"Mom, don't worry, you won't lose anything!"

Looking at his family members who looked at him curiously, Xu Zaijing continued:

"At noon, Brother Zhao sent me to tell me that the wound healing effect of Jinbuhuan has not yet appeared, but the effect of reducing swelling and relieving pain is extremely good."

"Just because of its effectiveness, it is a good thing!"

Hearing Xu Zaijing's words, Sun was stunned and said:

"You can actually tell it in one night?"

Xu Zaijing nodded.

"Then, our family should invest more, it's a pity"

Hualan and Zai Zhang on the side looked at each other and whispered:

"Mother-in-law, I still have about two thousand banknotes here. Take it and throw it in!"

Mrs. Sun looked at Hua Lan and said, "Nonsense! Silly boy! There's no point in talking about your dowry!"

"Mother-in-law, this is not my dowry. It is the money I have saved over the years at my parents' and ours. It does not count as dowry!"

"Besides, the interest from the farm shop that comes with the dowry is useless to my daughter-in-law!"

"According to what Xiao Wu said, my wife wants her family to contribute some money to invest together!"

After Mrs. Sun pondered for a moment, she looked at her younger son, and when she saw that he didn't say anything, she said:

"Okay, but Hua'er must not spread what is said in this room!"

"Yes, mother-in-law, the daughter-in-law will send a message to her parents' family!"

The second day

Mao hour (six o'clock in the morning)

Jiying Lane

Qi Heng, a short man, entered the lecture hall under the cotton curtain that was never raised.

Then he was surprised to find that the desks behind the Xu brothers were empty in the lecture hall today.

Walking to the desk, Qi Heng sat down and asked curiously: "Brother Feng, what happened today?"

"Young Master, I don't know either."

Chang Feng whispered.

Rulan on the other side pursed her lips and said:

"Brother Qi Heng, my eldest sister is coming back today."

Just after Chen hour (after 9 a.m.)

In the Xu family's carriage, the chair where the host was sitting was covered with a layer of wolfskin mattress and a layer of cotton mattress.

Between the wolfskin and the cotton mattress, there were also a few Yubuzi stuffed into the back of the chair.

Sitting on it was a helpless Hua Lan.

The green cicada and the colorful hairpin sat on the embroidered piers on both sides, ready to be used as meat cushions at all times.

Outside the carriage,

Xu Zaijing and Qingyun rode on horseback to protect them on one side, while Zai Zhang and his servants rode on horseback to protect them on the other side.

I feel like I've turned a corner,

Hua Lan in the carriage asked: "Guanren, are you arriving soon?"

Zai Zhang said: "Yes, don't move!"

Hearing this,

Cui Chan in the carriage looked at Hua Lan teasingly.

Shengjia

At the second gate,

Seeing the two brothers riding tall horses and guarding the carriage slowly coming in,

Wang Ruofu smiled and said,

When Hualan was helped out by two female envoys,

Watching Hua Lan 'driving' the two brothers Xu Zaijing to the direction of the book school,

Wang Ruofu walked to Hua Lan, glared at her fiercely and said:

"Whatever happens to you, just send a message. Why did you come here on your own despite your body? Your mother-in-law didn't say anything to stop her!"

"Mom, my daughter came here on her own!"

Hualan leaned close to Wang Ruofu and said with a smile.

A group of people walked towards Shouan Hall,

From time to time on the road, a female envoy would say hello.

"Tell me why you came back."

"Mom, the Xu family has a business that needs money, so my daughter came here."

"The Xu family has such a big family business."

When Hua Lan spoke with a smile, she did not lower her voice.

There was a little female envoy who was bowing her head and saluting on the road. After hearing this, she waited for others to leave and then walked towards Linqi Pavilion.

Xu Zaijing and his brother entered the lecture hall.

At this time, Zhuang Xuexue was already sitting behind the desk.

I also knew that the two of them would come to Sheng’s house later today.

Seeing the two brothers bowing and nodding,

When school was over at noon, sisters Ru Lan and Ming Lan quickly put on their cloaks and ran to Shou'an Hall.

The two entered the hall,

Just in time to see the old lady hugging Chang Zhu, Hua Lan, who was sitting next to her, was holding the boy's finger to tease him.

Now that Hua Lan is pregnant, she doesn't dare to let her hold the baby.

Behind Wang Ruofu stood Wei Shuyi and Mama Liu.

"sister."

"Sister Hualan."

Seeing the two girls entering the door, Wang Ruofu hurriedly said:

"Slow down! Slow down!"

Rulan and Minglan quickly slowed down,

After playing for a while, Mo Lan arrived late.

All the female relatives of the Sheng family had dinner at Shou'an Hall.

afternoon,

Afraid of harming Hua Lan's health, there was no incense burning in the Shou'an Hall as usual.

The three orchids each look for their mother.

Arhat's bed,

Mrs. Sheng and Hua Lan were lying on each side,

Talking without a word,

"Dafang's business has become more and more prosperous in recent years, and the dividends given to the old lady every year have also increased a lot. You can take it with you when you go back in the afternoon."

"Grandma, I came back mainly to ask for money from my mother. You should keep your personal money."

"What? Don't you want grandma to make money?"

"No way!"

"Well, then take it with you. Regardless of profit or loss, grandma is not in a hurry to get it."

"Um."

Afternoon,

Wang Ruofu, who also had a good rest, also returned to Shou'an Hall.

When school is about to end,

Hua Lan and Wang Ruofu said goodbye to the old lady and walked out together.

Cui Chan, who was following behind, was holding an exquisite wooden box in her hand.

"How much did the old lady give you?"

As he said this, Wang Ruofu looked back at the wooden box.

"Mom, not much! How about you? How much do you want to support your daughter?"

Wang Ruofu curled his lips and said:

"Tell me about the Xu family first! Your mother and I have a big business now, and the profits are quite a lot!"

"How about you give me these that your grandmother gave you until the end of the year?"

Hualan stopped and looked at Wang Ruofu doubtfully: "Mom! What kind of business are you doing?"

Wang Ruofu said: "It's nothing! It's a business we did with your uncle and your uncle's family."

Hua Lan nodded and continued walking forward: "Well, you should listen to your aunt more."

Wang Ruofu nodded, waved his hand back to separate the female envoy and said, "What on earth are the Xu family doing? I really can't tell you?"

Hualan nodded with difficulty despite Wang Ruofu's gaze.

Wang Ruofu pursed his lips and said, "Looking at how secretive you are, I would like to invest more money. You can't say what kind of business you can make, but you can always say how much you can earn, right?"

Hua Lan smiled bitterly and shook her head: She really didn't know.

Wang Ruofu looked at Hua Lan's appearance, and finally nodded her arm bitterly and said:

"It's really a married daughter who throws water away!"

Everyone came to the place where the carriage was parked,

Wang Ruofu looked at his eldest daughter who got on the carriage, curled his lips angrily, and then stretched out his hand. Mother Liu quickly put the banknotes in her hand.

"Here, take it!"

Hua Lan pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you, mother."

As if he had come to the Sheng family, he escorted him back to Quyuan Street.

Hua Lan returned to the courtyard with Zai Zhang,

While changing clothes,

Cuichan on the side said: "Girl, this was given to me by Xiaodie who was next to Miss Wei during your lunch break in the afternoon."

Hua Lan frowned and said, "What?"

"Xiaodie said that this is the money that Miss Wei saved after coming to Bianjing. I heard that we need to turn around, so she gave it to the slaves."

"A total of one hundred and thirty-seven strings, and there are three little golden pigs given by the sixth girl."

Hua Lan smiled and shook his head and said: "Keep Xiao Liu's little golden pig and convert it into silver coins. Let's add some more to give Wei Xiaoniang enough 200 coins to invest in it."

"Girl, shall we count the young lady and the sixth lady separately?"

"Yeah! Count them separately."

The colorful hairpin on the side said: "Girl, what should I do if I lose?"

Hua Lan smiled and said: "It's okay, my mother-in-law said this morning. There are many good things in the public house's warehouse that other families gave to Xiao Wu! If you really want to lose money, just take out one to pay off the Xu family's debt."

after dinner,

Xu Zaijing drank tea and listened to Hua Lan say:

"Mother-in-law, this is the six thousand taels given by my grandmother, and this is the 2,500 taels of silver from my daughter-in-law."

"There is also 2,500 guan given by my mother. She said she was doing business with my grandfather's family and didn't leave much money."

Sun smiled and said:

"It doesn't matter. When you went to the Sheng family, Princess Pingning gave you a letter saying that the Chai family also invested 50,000 yuan."

Hua Lan and Xie looked at each other in surprise and whispered, "But what news did you get?"

Sun nodded.

With the tea cup in the way, Xu Zaijing, who was drinking tea, pursed his lips and thought to himself: With so much money, I wonder what Guangnan West Road will become.

Putting down the teacup, Xu Zaijing's eyes happened to be caught by Mrs. Sun:

"Xiao Wu, do you think this money is a lot of money?"

"Mom, are my eyes so obvious?"

Sun smiled and said:

"In the eyes of your mother and me, it's natural and obvious!"

Xu Zaijing raised his eyebrows and made a "please speak" gesture.

Sun said:

"When I was a girl, I heard about His Majesty's succession ceremony. At that time, I ordered 170,000 guan of lychees on Fujian Road alone and sent them to Bianjing."

Xu Zaijing on the side said: "That's a lot!"

Mrs. Sun nodded, and Xu Zaizhang on the side said: "Mother, there are farmers who grow lychees, so I don't have to exchange them for gold."

Xu Zaijing put down the tea cup and said, "Brother! You can have this!"

Then he turned around and asked: "Mother, is the mountain man from Uncle Xie Shi's family who donated money in exchange for money still there?"

Mrs. Sun and her eldest daughter-in-law met and smiled.

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law smiled brightly,

But he didn't say much.

It's December,

The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month,

While eating five-flavor meat porridge, Xu Zaijing learned from his mother,

This matter of money provided by the top nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty is over.

A total of about 250,000 silver coins were collected.

Part of the silver money is intended to be used to purchase gold coins, and part of it is intended to transform the wild product into a cultivated one.

And the Xie family has a lot of sugar cane fields and fine farmhouses in Yongzhou.

Then, it is unclear whether a new farm was bought based on the growing conditions that are worth gold.

More than three hundred miles away from Bianjingdong,

A large group of horses and convoys with flags with the word "Pan" were walking towards Bianjing City.

Nearly a hundred flatbed carriages carried a lot of goods covered with oilcloth.

The postman at the roadside post station looked at it,

The dozens of knights accompanying the carriage were dressed a little differently from Da Zhou.

It looked like he had newly shaved hair around his head, and he was wearing a wolfskin hat with gold or silver beads on it.

Moreover, the armor and weapons on his body are very sophisticated, and when he looks at people, his eyes are dull, looking straight at the person's vitals, which is a bit scary.
