Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

Zhangjia Wuniangyuan,

Zhang Wuniang, who had been grounded for many days, was at the entrance of the courtyard, looking out eagerly.

Seeing several noble ladies walking this way together, Wu Niang jumped up happily and waved hello.

Soon, the girls came to Wuniang's yard.

Wu Niang took Chai Zhengzheng and Ting Yi's hands and said:

"Thank you for coming. These days, I'm almost going crazy from being suffocated."

After saying that, Wu Niang and Rong Feiyan nodded, and then pinched the little face of Wu Niang of the Li family who was a little short-sighted.

He and the Hai family smiled at Miss Yun.

Now that the leader of the Hai family is based in Taiyuan, he has given timely and powerful support to various noble families for a long time.

Although Wu Niang's time of being grounded has not ended yet, being grounded does not mean that she cannot invite her close friends to play.

Most of the officials' noble daughters, except Ting Yi, came to the Zhang family for the first time.

When they walked into Wu Niang's house holding hands together, they looked at the things around them curiously.

Come to Zhang Jiawu Niang’s ‘Polo Equipment Room’:

"Wow!!!"

Looking at the polo poles of different lengths that were neatly arranged in a row in the room, the girls couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement.

Seeing the sisters' reactions, Wu Niang put her hands on her hips very proudly.

"Wu Niang, I only have one collared shirt of this color. I've been looking for it for a long time and haven't found any others. I didn't expect you have so many here!"

After hearing Ting Yi's words, Wu Niang said proudly:

"I have collected all the new brocade shirts of this color from the Wang Family Brocade Shop, so of course you can't find them."

"I'll take two!"

"help yourself."

On the other side, the fifth lady of the Li family looked at a dozen polo balls of different colors, pointed at one of them and said, "Sister Zhang family, can I have a look?"

Wu Niang waved her hand and said, "Look wherever you want, don't hold yourself back!"

The other girls looked at the six saddles in the room, and Rong Feiyan said, "Sister Zhang, is this the Beiliao saddle?"

Wu Niang: "Yes!"

As he spoke, he walked over, took Rong Feiyan's hand and pressed it on the saddle, saying, "Do you feel comfortable?"

After Rong Feiyan touched it with her little hands, she nodded in surprise: "Sit on such a saddle, it will definitely be uncomfortable for your buttocks."

After hearing Rong Feiyan's words, Hai Chaoyun next to him reached out and touched it, his eyes full of recognition.

Wu Niang nodded repeatedly.

After Rong Feiyan finished speaking, she continued to walk forward.

Then, her eyes lit up as she looked at the row of soft bows hanging on the wall, pointed to a bow in the middle, and looked back: "Sister Zhang, can I take a look at this bow?"

Wu Niang waved her hand.

The Zhang family's female envoy hurried over, picked out a ring from the nine-square box hanging under the soft bow, and handed it to Rong Feiyan's hand.

Then he took off the soft bow and handed it to Rong Feiyan. Halfway through opening the bow, Rong Feiyan's face felt a little labored, and she slowly loosened the bowstring and said:

"This bow is so powerful!"

Chai Zhengzheng, who was following, smiled, stretched out his hand towards Rong Feiyan, took the wrench and the soft bow, and tried to pull it, and said:

"Yeah! It's indeed not small. In a few years, Sister Feiyan, it won't be so difficult to use."

Wu Niang, who heard the two talking, came over, took off the largest bow on the wall, pulled it open easily, and said:

"is it hard?"

Before girls Chai and Rong could speak, Wu Niang said again: "Sister Li, please try the youngest one. That's the one I used when I was ten years old."

The fifth lady of the Li family made a weak sound and pointed at the wall.

Ting Yi, who had reached the end of the 'equipment room', looked back and said, "Wuniang, the last time I came to your house, your house was not like this?"

Zhang Jiawu Niang nodded with a smile, looked at the other ladies who were looking at her, and said:

"At the end of the first year, my fourth brother went to Xu's fifth brother's house to see Hai Dongqing. When he came back, he told me that the house next to the Xu family's racecourse was just like this."

"After some inquiring, I found out that it was designed by Brother Xu himself, and it was completed by Brother Lu's grandfather when he went to help with the repairs."

Listening to Wu Niang's words, the other girls nodded.

Ting Yi nodded and said: "It's neat and beautiful. My second brother has been to the Xu family many times, why didn't you tell me!"

Chai Zhengzheng and Rong Feiyan looked around with similar expressions. When they went to Xu's house, they had no chance to see the details of the house on the sidelines.

Chai Zhengzheng smiled slightly when he heard that it was done by the Li family, the maternal ancestor of Lu Zezong. Recently, she had a good relationship with the girl from Consort Lu's family.

She had met Madam Li, the eldest daughter of the Lu family, a few times, and it was time to entrust someone to take care of things.

"By the way, yesterday afternoon and evening, I heard that fireworks and firecrackers were set off here in Xingguofang for a long time. Whose family has a happy event?"

As soon as Rong Feiyan said these words, some girls had the same doubts in their eyes, while others had it clear.

It was Ting Yi who said:

"It's the Marquis of Xiangyang's Mansion. The old Marquis's concubine gave birth to two boys."

"Yesterday, my eldest brother and second brother, as elders of the clan, were also called. I heard that they had been adopted into the name of Princess Pingning's mother!"

Rong Feiyan nodded: "I see, those two are legitimate sons?"

Ting Yi nodded.

Wu Niang on the side said: "I heard from my mother that during the birth, the fifth brother of the Xu family was also called!"

Li Guangren, the official secretary of the Ministry of official affairs, and the fifth wife of Mr. Li's family asked in confusion: "Why did you call the fifth brother of the Xu family to come over?"

As soon as these words came out, all the girls had some doubts in their eyes. Chai Zhengzheng came to Beijing not long ago, and they didn't understand why.

Wu Niang looked at Rong Feiyan and whispered: "Sister Feiyan, do you know?"

Rong Feiyan nodded and said, "I heard from Concubine Rong that when the Queen gave birth to the princess, she called the fifth brother of the Xu family."

The girls nodded in understanding.

After talking about this topic, Ting Yi turned sideways and curiously picked up a delicate long sword placed on the sword stand.

"bass"

The sword was drawn.

Ting Yi looked at the pattern and edge carefully and said, "Wuniang, is this sword sharpened?"

Wu Niang walked over and pulled out a piece of hair: "Watch it!"

After saying that, she swung the sword blade and her hair was broken into two pieces.

Ting Yi's eyes lit up and he said, "Wow! It's so sharp!"

Seeing the surprised expressions of her sisters, Wu Niang was very proud of herself.

After watching the ‘Wu Niang Equipment Room’, the girls went into the house.

Sitting on the chairs around the small round table, we formed a circle.

The girls drank their favorite drinks and talked about the gossip they had heard recently.

"Sister Chaoyun, when I heard about the spring trip, did you go to the south of the city?"

Hai Chaoyun smiled gently and said:

"What Sister Feiyan said is that the Yujin Garden she went to was a few close friends of civil servants who were close friends with her father and brother!"

"If we have a chance to meet, maybe we can get to know each other."

Ting Yi's eyes lit up and he said, "Well, they are all scholars, have they ever done poetry or anything like that?"

Hai Chaoyun and Li Jiawu Niang looked at each other and said: "There are a few songs."

The fifth lady of the Li family nodded incessantly, squinted her eyes, and said, "I heard from my elder brother that there is a song: 'A night of east wind blows away so much sorrow on my pillow. It's only good when you return home.'"

Upon hearing the beginning, Hai Chaoyun hesitated to speak.

After the fifth lady of the Li family finished reciting, she continued: "Brother said that this poem may be written for a certain girl and is not suitable for me to recite. Is there any?"

Everyone nodded.

Hai Chaoyun next to him came to the rescue and said, "I've heard of one."

All the girls here are members of noble officials. They have been taught literacy by female teachers since they were young, so they can naturally appreciate the charm of poetry.

Listening to Hai Chaoyun's recitation of the poem, everyone nodded in approval.

Hai Chaoyun continued: "I think this last song is the best."

Rong Feiyan also borrowed Wuniang's pen and paper and copied a song that she felt was good.

Ting Yi looked at Rong Feiyan's words and nodded:

"My second brother is also a student, but when I asked him about it that day, he actually said that he didn't write poetry because he had no interest in poetry because he traveled too much!"

The fifth lady of the Li family asked: "Why did you run away?"

Zhang Wuniang pointed at herself.

Ting Yi nodded angrily on Zhang Jiawu's forehead and said: "After listening to the last poem read by sister Chaoyun, I think the person who wrote the poem should be the best in Bianjing!"

Seeing someone agreeing, Hai Chaoyun nodded with a smile, then looked around at the ladies,

But he saw Chai Zhengzheng shaking his head slightly.

Hai Chaoyun asked with some confusion: "Zhengzheng, have you heard any better poems?"

Chai Zhengzheng was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips, looked at the girls from various families who were looking at her, and said hesitantly: "There is a song that I didn't hear, but was seen by my female envoy."

Hai Chaoyun's eyes lit up and he was delighted when he heard the poem. He asked with great interest: "Tell me about it?"

Chai Zhengzheng said: "Well, let me tell you first, my female servant saw it when she was helping Qingcao pick up paper!"

Hearing the word "green grass", Rong Feiyan stopped writing the pen in his hand, but after writing the last few words, he looked up.

Ting Yi asked in surprise: "Qingcao? Is it the female envoy of the Xu family? Is it when we go downstairs and the strong wind blows?"

Chai Zhengzheng nodded and said: "Well, I am very ignorant. I don't know if the Xu family brother wrote it silently or did it myself."

Hai Chaoyun glanced at the fifth lady of the Li family and said with a smile:

"Zhengzheng, tell me, my sister Li and I have a wide range of poetry. Maybe we know whether this poem was written by ourselves."

Chai Zhengzheng nodded, glanced at his female servant Yun Mu, and read in a crisp voice:

"The light rain on the sky street is as moist as butter, and the color of grass looks far away but is not there up close."

Just hearing these two sentences, the eyes of Hai Chaoyun, Wu Niang of the Li family, and other girls lit up.

On the day of exploring spring, it rained in the morning. Tianjie is the Royal Street starting from the Imperial City.

Chai Zhengzheng continued: "The most advantageous thing about spring is that it is better than the smoke and willows that fill the imperial capital."

After Chai Zhengzheng finished reading, he looked at the girls from the Hai and Li families with hope and said:

"I also asked the clerk at home who knows poetry about the last two sentences. They all said they didn't know."

Hai Chaoyun and the fifth lady of the Li family looked at each other and said, "I really haven't heard of this poem. Sister of the Li family?"

The fifth lady of the Li family moved her eyes back and forth, obviously thinking. After a moment, she said: "I have read all the classics about poetry in my family, but there is no such one!"

"Did Brother Xu really do it himself? Or was it Zhuang Xuexue?"

Ting Yi asked hesitantly.

Rong Feiyan, who remained silent, changed a piece of paper and continued writing on it.

"Ting Yi, don't forget it when you get home!"

Listening to the words of the fifth lady of the Zhang family, Ting Yi nodded.

Later, the girls continued to talk about the elegant things of burning incense and hanging paintings.

Had lunch,

In the afternoon, while it was warm outside, the Zhang family’s maid set up a target outside the house.

The girls also held an archery competition with Zhang Wuniang's soft bow. The first place was naturally Zhang Wuniang's. The second place unexpectedly was not Ting Yi, but Feiyan girl.

After promising to bring the blessings from the fifth mother of the Zhang family to An Mei, everyone left.

On the second day,

early in the morning,

When I was studying in Shengjia Academy,

Gu Tingye took Xu Zaijing aside and asked about it.

Xu Zaijing nodded shamelessly. He had been reading for so long, but when he first read the poetry collection, he discovered that there was no poem "Early Spring".

But there was clearly a great poet named Han Yu in the previous dynasty. After checking the official records of the Great Zhou Dynasty through his brother-in-law Gu Tingyu, Xu Zaijing knew that,

According to official records, among the previous officials of the Ministry of Water Resources, there is no Zhang Shibalang who took office at the Ministry of Water Resources.

By some strange combination of circumstances, this poem disappeared.

Gu Tingye looked at Xu Zaijing enviously, and then the two of them sat down together.

When Xuexue Zhuang came to the school leisurely, Gu Tingye walked over with a piece of paper and whispered a few words.

Xuexue Zhuang looked at the paper on the table, stroked his beard with one hand, and patted the desk with the other hand and said loudly:

"Okay, okay, okay!"

"Hahahaha, I got a poem, what more could I ask for!"

"Goro, not bad! Very good!"

Under the curious eyes of his brother, Xu Zaijing stood up, blushed, and bowed.

"Changbai, please spread the word and take a look!"

Changbai was also a little curious. He took it from Gu Tingye, looked at the poems on it carefully, and then looked at Xu Zaijing in surprise.

The others, including Qi Heng, had similar reactions.

Soon, the paper was in Mo Lan's hand.

When Mo Lan looked at her brothers' reactions at first, she was a little curious and unconvinced.

Until she saw clearly what was on the paper, she handed the paper to the back numbly.

He looked at the book 'Mo Yuan' on his desk with some frustration.

Rulan glanced at it and immediately threw it to Minglan as if she couldn't understand it.

After Minglan finished reading, she glanced at Xu Zaijing in surprise and left the paper on the table.

Take it back when you are ready to go to school.

evening

With Ningyuan Hou Mansion as the center,

Several boys went out and walked in different directions.

When it gets dark,

The Rong family returned to Xueyuan,

The maid came to the door carefully,

Inside, Grandma was speaking in a leisurely voice, and she felt that it was a pleasure to listen to her.

"Miss Feiyan, can you notice the position of the flowers when arranging them?"

As she spoke, Grandma Kong put the flowers into the vase so that the flowers in the vase complemented each other beautifully, and continued:

"Just like the marriage of a woman from a wealthy family, it is not Huahua's decision to decide where she will get married."

After hearing this, Rong Feiyan lowered her head and nodded, and the crystal jewelry on her bun shook.

Seeing this scene, Grandma Kong nodded happily and said:

"Then, today's lesson ends here."

Rong Feiyan stood up: "Best farewell to grandma."

Aunt Kong smiled and left the room with the little envoy.

He walked carefully at the door and said a blessing, and then walked away to Grandma Kong for a while, then returned to the house.

Looking at his girl with an urging look in her eyes, she looked back at the door and whispered, "Yes."

Hearing this word, Rong Feiyan smiled slightly, and then sighed.

In mid-February,

Shengjia Academy took a break again,

Early this morning,

The outer and inner courtyards of Yongyihou's mansion, as well as the rooms at the entrance, are all decorated with red and colorful decorations.

Yin Bo, Qingyun, Shu Bo, Chu Zhan, Wang Yan and other old servants and soldiers of the Hou Mansion also wore red silk around their waists.

Lord Mother’s Courtyard,

inside the house,

Ningyuan Hou Gu's grandson and Xu Xingdai, the two children were dressed very cutely and were held by their grandmother.

Next to Xu Zaijing stood Lu Zezong,

Lu Zezong was also wearing new clothes, and his eyes were full of novelty and eagerness to try. It was obviously his first time doing something.

The reason for this is that today the Huyan family came to send makeup gifts, and the children were going to the Huyan family to be pressed into bed.
