Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

The way Wu Niang looked at the female envoy, what she just said to Zhengzheng and Tingyi was as if she was also talking to them.

Seeing the apologetic look in my girl’s eyes,

The Zhang family's female envoy lowered her head and gave a blessing.

Rong Xian followed Xu Zaijing and others, then looked back at the three noble ladies.

He was secretly annoyed in his heart: Why wasn't his sister here? Otherwise, he could have moved forward and joined in!

When Xu Zaizhang, Zheng Xiao and other young men from Bianjing were walking back to the wooden building along the river bank, from time to time a noble lady would look at them and cover their mouth with a handkerchief and say something.

Although Gu Tingye and others did not actually participate in the 'action', their actions can be regarded as 'acting chivalrously and righteously'.

The pace of walking is quite contented.

Everyone went up the wooden bridge, and happened to see a few elegant ladies coming down from the second floor on the opposite side.

When they saw everyone coming from the other side, they waited downstairs with surprise in their eyes.

Among these people, Rong Feiyan looked at the clothes Xu Zaijing was wearing, and was surprised and a little regretful.

Liang Han in the crowd pulled away the forehead wiper and wiped the sweat. When he saw Chun Ge among the people opposite, he immediately put the forehead wiper away.

Then he followed the example of Xu Zaijing, Gu Tingye and others, and nodded slightly towards the other side to thank the girls for making way.

Miss Chunge's appearance is high enough, and the girls next to her are also pretty. They are all beautiful.

However, people are afraid of comparison.

Rong Feiyan stood among these people, and she really stood out in terms of appearance and temperament.

Even her skin color is a level lighter than others.

The girls all lowered their heads slightly, not looking at the boys, squatted slightly, and returned the salute.

After the teenagers passed by, they raised their heads, followed different people with their eyes, and walked towards the other side of the river.

Xu Zaijing and others went up to the second floor, only to find that several people were already sitting on the second floor.

"cousin!"

"Brother Jin!"

Seeing Chai Jin, everyone hurriedly greeted him.

After some conversation, we found out that brothers Chai Jin and Chai Bo arrived early and had just gone for a walk in the garden like them.

He should be walking ahead of Xu Zaijing and the others.

Afterwards, everyone was brewing upstairs and wrote a few poems, especially Qi Heng. Although he was not very old, he wrote a few colorful poems.

The steward of the garden was also in trouble, and he immediately begged Liang Han and Qi Heng's works as treasures, saying that they would be hung on the first floor of the wooden building in the future.

Xu Zaijing also composed a song, but after he finished it, before anyone else could read it, he asked the grass to be gathered up.

At noon, everyone ate some seasonal vegetable porridge.

After resting for a while upstairs, everyone played Cuju downstairs for a while.

While playing Cuju, there were many bored girls upstairs from the female guests watching from a distance, putting aside the rules and scoring, they mainly just watched people and enjoyed the fun.

At the end of the day (before 3pm)

Taking advantage of the warm weather and nice weather,

Families like the Chai family and the Rong family, who were far away from the east side of the imperial city and came to the west side of the outer city, were already preparing to go home.

Xingguofang and Quyuan Street are not close to the breeding garden, and they are also preparing.

Gu Tingye, Zheng Xiao, Xu Zaijing and others stood downstairs talking, while the maids were busy packing things again.

Hua Xiang walked downstairs carrying a tray. There were several pieces of paper on the tray, weighed down with a paperweight.

When I came to the door, a strong spring breeze blew over, and the paper on the tray was blown loudly.

Hua Xiang just stretched out her hand to hold down the paper, but some grains of sand were blown up from the dry ground that had been drying for a long time and got into her eyes!

"oops!"

Hua wanted to stop, pressed the paper's hand, and rubbed her eyes.

Several pieces of paper on the tray were blown into the air and flew towards the side where the female guest was.

Qingcao, who was following behind and carrying a tea set box, had quick eyes and quick hands, and held down the tray with his eyes closed.

Wait until the wind blows,

Qingcao helped Hua Xiang blow her eyes, while Yun Xiang was sent by Qingcao to pick up the blown paper.

The surrounding female servants were all discerning, and when they saw the paper flying over, everyone came to help.

Soon Yun Xiang took back a few pieces of paper.

At this time, Chai Zhengzheng walked out of the building. Yunmu beside her looked at the little female envoy Fuyi who came from not far away and asked:

"Why are you going there if you're not waiting by the carriage?"

Fuyi said a few words, and Yunmu nodded directly without looking at Chai Zhengzheng.

The three masters and servants got on the carriage and soon embarked on their return journey amidst the rumble of the carriage.

on the way home,

"Do you still remember the poem on that paper?"

Fuyi said: "Remember"

Xingguofang

British government,

Zhang Jiawu Niang lowered her head in her clothes that had been shaved off by tree trunks.

She pinched the skirts on both sides of her body with her hands, and stood in front of the British princess.

"Madam, this is what she told the slaves!"

"It's because the slaves' brains were slow and they didn't expect the girl to climb the tree in time, which put the girl in danger."

The British princess looked at her only daughter and said in a deep voice: "Mother Fan, do you agree with what she said?"

Wu Niang looked up at her mother and said softly: "Daughter."

"Louder!"

"My daughter doesn't approve!" Wu Niang said loudly.

"It's all my daughter's fault, it has nothing to do with Mother Fan and the others!"

The British princess nodded and said: "Okay, you are responsible, so what's the punishment?"

Wu Niang bit her lip, hesitated for a while and then said:

"My daughter is grounded for ten, five, ten days!"

British Duchess: "Yeah!"

"But if the mother can reduce the number for Mother Fan and the others, the daughter is willing to add more."

Wu Niang thought about the number of female servants who were following her today and said, "Twenty-five days!"

The British princess nodded and said:

"Okay, the servant who goes with you will be exempted from punishment, and you will be grounded for thirty-five days!"

Then he said: "Humph, you are quite responsible!"

Wu Niang didn't know whether to cry or laugh. She bowed and said:

"Mom, my daughter accepts the punishment, but if this happens, she won't be able to catch up with sister Anmei's wedding."

The British princess smiled and said: "You are not a bride. If you can't make it, don't go."

The fifth lady of the Zhang family looked downcast: "Oh"

Early February,

North of Bianjing City,

Outside Ansu Gate,

A group of fifty majestic cavalry slowed down by the Dragon Guard River.

The leading knight, whose face was full of weathered color, looked up at the towering city wall, looked at the nearby soldiers, and then walked into the city.

At this time, he had already gone to court.

In the palace,

In the main hall,

The emperor sat behind the royal desk,

Sitting beside him were the top ministers of the Zhou Dynasty who had been left behind.

Xu Zaiduan, the prince of Yongyi Hou, stood in the room with a weathered look on his face, reporting to the emperor.

Every time he mentioned the location, Gu Tingyu would mark it on the large map in the palace.

After listening to the report, the emperor nodded, looked at several important officials in the court, and said:

"Well, not bad! Is there anything else you want to ask?"

After another question and answer session,

The important ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty nodded one after another, and those who did not nod did not refute. After all, if they suffered a defeat, ten thousand words from them would be more effective.

Later, we talked about state affairs for half an hour.

All the important officials in the court retreated.

The emperor waved his hand to Xu Zaiduan and said:

"Xu Dalang, sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zai Duan sat up with his back straight and his hands on his thighs.

After the officials moved the embroidery pier away, the emperor looked at Gu Tingyu and said to Zai Duan:

"What are your father's chances of winning this battle?"

After Zai Duan pondered for a moment, he was about to stand up when the emperor waved his hand and pushed him down.

Zai Duan sat down and bowed:

"Your Majesty, if Bei Liao intervenes, there is a 60% chance! If Bei Liao stays on the sidelines, it is 80% chance!"

The emperor nodded, looked at Zai Duan with a smile and said:

"I haven't seen you in the past year, and I see Dalang is much calmer than before! It's bitterly cold in the north, you've suffered a lot, right?"

Zai Duan stood up, bowed and cupped his hands and said: "It won't be hard to open up territory for Your Majesty!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The emperor smiled heartily and said: "Sit down! How is the effect of the thing I sent you before?"

Zai Duan said: "Back to Your Majesty! The effect is extraordinary. Many scouts and soldiers in the army were injured, and they all relied on this thing to stop bleeding and save their lives!"

The emperor nodded happily and said, "Thank you so much to your father-in-law!"

Zai Duan sat and bowed.

At this time, the door of the room was opened. Zhao Fang looked over and said, "Father, I saw that all the important ministers have left. Can I come in?"

The emperor waved.

After Zhao Fang came to the Imperial Case, he sat on the emperor's lap and smiled at Xu Zaiduan.

Xu Zaiduan stood up quickly: "I have met His Highness."

Zhao Fang waved his hand like an emperor:

"Brother Duan, sit down!"

"I heard from my father that some strong men who are close friends with Brother Jing went to serve under Xu Hou. I wonder how they behaved?"

Xu Zai sat on the embroidered pier and bowed:

"Your Highness, we are all warriors. After repeated competitions, the lowest one is Dutou!"

"Among them, the one named Guo Kui who arrived in Junzhou two years ago is as brave as Di Jing."

The emperor nodded and said: "I have seen the name Di Jing a few times. Is she now the battalion commander?"

"Your Majesty, yes!"

"Father, when they win and return home, I will personally toast them!"

As soon as Zhao Fang said these words, the smile on the emperor's face grew brighter and he said: "Okay! That's it!"

After speaking, the emperor looked at Xu Zaiduan and Gu Tingyu and said:

"Okay, Brother Duan has a lot to do when he comes back, so I won't stay any longer. Go get busy!"

Gu Tingyu accompanied Xu Zai out of the side door of the palace.

"How are Pingmei and my nephew doing?"

"Okay! Both the wife and the boss can eat and sleep!"

Xu Zaiduan smiled and nodded.

Jiying Lane

Shengjia, Shouantang.

The old lady finished making the incense very skillfully and lit it, then said: "Oh? Your eldest cousin has returned to Beijing?"

Minglan nodded: "This is what the servants from the Hou Mansion called for the two cousins."

The old lady waved to Mother Cui and asked Mother Cui to light the incense.

He took the towel and wiped his hands and said, "Su Qin, have all the old disciples from Zhuangzi in the south rested?"

"Old lady, get some rest. I've helped you a lot in Xiaoyu Village these past few days!"

The old lady nodded and said, "Let's send them all together!"

Fang’s mother nodded yes.

A quarter of an hour later, Fang’s mother, followed by two female envoys holding wooden boxes, got into the Sheng family’s carriage.

There were several very capable young men following the carriage, heading towards Quyuan Street.

Quyuan Street,

Chu Zhan at the street entrance jumped with his feet and pointed in the distance, shouting: "Sir, the eldest master is back!"

Xu Zaijing stretched out his hand and lifted Chu Zhan aside: "Don't block my sight, go to the house and pass the news!"

After speaking, he waved to his elder brother in the distance.

Chu Zhan ran back in a flash.

after awhile,

Xu Zaiduan got off his horse,

After a firm hug with Xu Zaijing, the two brothers separated.

Zai Duan looked Xu Zaijing up and down and said, "How come you have grown so tall in less than a year?"

Xu Zaijing smiled proudly and said: "Brother, wait until I surpass you!"

"Brat!"

Inside the gate of Yongyi Hou Mansion,

Mrs. Sun looked at her eldest son Xu Zaiduan with tears in her eyes, touched his body and said:

"It feels like I haven't lost much weight, it just looks a bit uglier."

Xu Zaiduan touched his face, glared at Xie who was laughing through tears, stretched out his hand towards Xu Xingdai in Xie's arms and said:

"Come on, son, let daddy hug you!"

With that said, he took the eldest son into his arms.

"Ah~~~"

Xu Xingdai burst into tears and looked to his grandmother Sun, his mother and two uncles for help.

As a result, no one took care of him.

In the end, Anmei reached over, hugged Xu Xingdai in her arms, wiped the tears and snot from his face, and said:

"Silly boy, that's your daddy!"

Xu Zaiduan smiled and shook his head, and nodded with the pregnant Hua Lan:

"Let's go into the courtyard!"

Entering Sun's courtyard,

Zai Duan first took out a lot of naive wood carvings from his luggage and handed them to Xu Xingdai's hand like a treasure.

Seeing Xu Xingdai hugging the tiger puppet and not letting go, Xu Zaiduan said depressedly:

"Who gave this to him?"

Xu Zaijing waved his hand and said: "Brother, don't look at me, I'm just running an errand!"

Zai Duan nodded to Xu Zaijing with a smile, then took out an exquisite gold necklace, handed it to Zai Zhang and said:

"Father said that he likes both boys and girls!"

After finishing speaking, Zaiduan waved to Hua Lan who wanted to get up and thank him, and said, "You don't have to do this!"

Then he said to An Mei: "This hairpin with gems was picked out by my father for a long time."

An Mei smiled and said, "Thank you, dad and brother!"

"Wulang, your things are outside, which is the Bei Liao saddle on my horse. I heard that it was given to my father by my brother from the British government."

“Not to mention, it’s so comfortable to ride!”

Xu Zaijing rolled his eyes at his elder brother.

"Here, my eldest brother gave this to you!"

As he spoke, Zaiduan threw a sheathed dagger inlaid with precious stones.

Xu Zaijing caught the dagger and said with a smile: "Thank you, brother!"

After speaking, he took out the dagger, looked at the pattern and edge of the blade, and nodded in approval.

At this time,

A young envoy at the door said: "Madam, the mother of the Sheng family is here."

Sun was stunned and said: "Please come quickly!"

After a while, Fang's mother came to the hall.

Then, the three brothers of the Xu family quickly walked out and walked towards the racecourse.

Talking as we walked.

"Is this Jin Kingdom warrior so strong?"

"Can the Northern Liao imperial guards be defeated?"

Xu Dalang asked Xu Zaijing doubtfully.

Xu Zaijing nodded and said: "Yes!"

Xu Zaiduan clicked his tongue, then thought about it and asked:

"Xiao Wu, do you think Beiliao Imperial Guard is not as strong as you think?"

"After all, you both have seen what the Tianwu Army was like before!"

Xu Zaijing thought for a while, nodded and said: "Brother is right!"

Xu Zaiduan smiled slightly, put his hands on the shoulders of his two younger brothers, and said, "Let's see how powerful the people recommended by my aunt are!"
