Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

The misty spring rain started falling last night,

It turns the streets of Bianjing into a dark color.

Some rainwater also fell on the potholes on the road, forming small puddles.

At this time, the spring rain stopped for a while,

The puddle is as calm as a mirror,

Some puddles reflected the dim sky,

Some puddles reflected the still-lit lantern hanging at the gate.

The years are quiet and peaceful,

Suddenly,

There were kicking and rumbling sounds, and two black figures passed across the water.

After a while,

The thick wheels rolled over the puddles, turning the puddles into 'turbid waves'.

"Xu~~~"

The sound of the coachman's horsemanship sounded,

A horse snorted,

After a while,

"Ding-deng-deng!"

The animal head knocker on the thick door was smacked.

"Who is it?"

"Hey! Fifth Young Master! Wait a moment!! The younger one is going to get the key."

When the small puddle regained its calm and reflected the scenery again,

There was a sound of the door latch twitching.

"Fifth Young Master, please come inside!"

In the voice of speaking,

The water surface of the small puddle was lightly tapped again, two times, three times, and gradually lost count.

It turned out that it was drizzling again.

Entered the second door,

Xu Zaijing was followed by Doctor Ren and Qingyun. Under the guidance of Huyan's maid, he walked along the rain-covered corridor.

Passing by an exquisite pavilion leaning into the pond,

Turn into the moon gate under the black tiles in the white wall,

When they came to an exquisite courtyard, they saw Mrs. Pan walking towards this side with her grandma.

When Doctor Ren and Qingyun behind him saluted, Xu Zaijing cupped his hands and said:

"I've met the eldest lady. I came a little early, so I'm bothering you!"

Mrs. Pan smiled and said hello:

"Brother Jing! What a good boy! What are you talking about! Come on, come in quickly!"

"You came so early, have you had breakfast?"

Xu Zaijing said: "Madam, you have eaten."

Talking

Everyone came to the hall.

Because Hu Yanjiong is currently away on an expedition,

In the courtyard of Huyan's house, there are all female envoys, servants, and servants.

On the way to the hall,

Xu Anmei's left hand was supported by Ye'er and she stood in the corridor.

After sniffing the fresh spring rain in the air, An Mei let out a sigh of relief.

Continuing to walk towards the hall, Anmei stepped forward to the threshold and was about to walk around the screen.

"hiss!"

An Mei frowned, feeling some pain in her chest.

Then she raised her free right arm as she walked, put it under her chest and moved it.

A few steps,

Anmei had already walked around the screen and caught a glimpse of the people sitting in the hall.

She put down her arms and said doubtfully:

"Huh? Xiaowu? Why is he here?"

Then, An Mei looked at the female servant Ye'er with confusion in her eyes, and said softly:

"Xiaowu."

"Is this all a dream lately?"

"I haven't woken up yet?"

Speaking, Anmei scratched her forehead.

Ye'er said helplessly from the side: "Girl, this is not a dream!"

An Mei shook her head. When she saw Xu Zaijing standing up, she walked over and bowed to Mrs. Pan first.

Then she walked up to Xu Zaijing, stretched out her hand and twisted it on Xu Zaijing's smiling face, and said:

"Does it hurt?"

"Your sister and I, are we not dreaming?"

Xu Zaijing looked at Madam Pan and smiled. Without saying a word, he twisted An Mei's face and asked:

"Sister, does it hurt? Is this a dream?"

"It hurts, it hurts! Stinky Xiaowu! Let go!"

An Mei shouted, slapping Xu Zaijing hard on the arm.

Looking at this scene, Mrs. Pan smiled and shook her head. She was the eldest daughter of the Pan family, and her younger brothers did not dare to make trouble with her like this.

Doctor Ren, who was sitting next to him, also smiled with some emotion.

"Okay! Sister, I won't make trouble with you anymore, please sit down first."

"Doctor Ren, please excuse me!"

With that said, Xu Zaijing stood up and walked to stand outside the hall. A nanny from the Huyan family came over carrying an embroidery pier.

I sat and waited for about a quarter of an hour.

"Brother Jing, come in."

Mrs. Pan's voice came.

Xu Zaijing looked at Anmei, who was sitting on the embroidered pier, with Mrs. Pan holding her hand, and turned his head and asked:

"Doctor Ren, how are you?"

Doctor Ren nodded and said with a smile: "I'm about 80% sure."

Xu Zaijing smiled and nodded:

"Okay! Then I'll go home and tell my mother the good news."

"Sister, these two doctors said so. You should be more careful when eating in the future."

An Mei looked at Madam Pan with kind eyes and said, "I know, let mother rest assured."

"Madam, sister, then I will go and report to mother first."

"Um."

Everyone got up and came to the entrance of the courtyard. Xu Zaijing persuaded Mrs. Pan and her sister to go back.

On the way to Ermen,

Xu Zaijing said as he walked: "Doctor Ren, I will trouble you a lot in the future."

"Young master, you're welcome."

In the drizzle, Xu Zaijing and Qingyun followed the carriage to Xingguofang.

The porter saw the carriage and horses coming to the door and hurriedly came down.

Looking at Xu Zaijing, who was wearing a raincoat, the concierge cupped his hands and said:

"Fifth Young Master, Madam Xu said that you are here, so please come in."

Xu Zaijing nodded.

In the inner courtyard of Ningyuan Hou Mansion,

Pingmei has a big belly,

He watched with relief as Xu Zaijing sat on the chair, took the towel from Qing Zhi's hand, and wiped the raindrops on his face.

Xu Zaijing looked at Mrs. Bai and eldest sister Pingmei who were full of curiosity and smiled and said:

"Mother Ren is 80% sure, and the doctor hired by the Huyan family said she has the fourth sister."

Hearing this, Pingmei smiled and looked at Madam Bai,

Caressing his already big belly, he said to Xu Zaijing:

"Okay! This way my mother can forget her worries."

Lady Bai on the side nodded, looked at Xu Zaijing and said:

"But your mother will be very busy this year."

As she spoke, Mrs. Bai clapped her fingers and said:

"My family, your mother's eldest daughter, your eldest sister Pingmei's second child."

"Hua Lan, your mother's daughter-in-law, is her first child."

"Plus Sister An, the first child."

Gu Tingyi, who was sitting next to Ping Mei, hugged his eldest nephew and nodded while listening.

Mrs. Bai waved her hand and said, "However, my mother is happy to be busy!"

Xu Zaijing smiled and said: "Auntie said yes!"

Looking at the eldest sister Pingmei, Xu Zaijing continued:

"Besides, I can get back some of the money my mother has given to the aunts in the Sun family over the years."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room laughed.

Bai said: "That's right! Your mother has told me several times that with so many brothers and nephews in her mother's family, her previous dealings with people have given her a headache."

Pingmei thought about her maternal uncles and smiled, saying:

"Xiaowu, my mother-in-law and I won't keep you here. Go back to Quyuan Street and talk to your mother."

"Um."

Xu Zaijing stood up, and Bai waved his hand towards Pingmei and Tingyi: "You all sit down."

After saying that, he looked at Xu Zaijing kindly and said, "Let's go, I'll see you off."

Then Bai took Grandma Chang and walked out with Xu Zaijing.

In the corridor inside the courtyard, Xu Zaijing was walking slightly behind Bai.

Bai turned her head and looked at Xu Zaijing, who was much taller than her, with a smile and said:

"Your sister misses you a little, so she asked you to come over."

"Well, aunt, I know."

After hearing what Xu Zaijing said, Bai Shi glanced at him again. For some reason, Bai Shi thought of the first time she met Xu Zaijing.

At that time, Xu Zaijing was still a baby smaller than his grandson.

Thinking of this, Bai Shi smiled and shook his head.

"Brother Jing, not only are your sister and sister-in-law busy this year, your father's side is also the same. You need to pay more attention to your mother."

"Auntie, I saved it."

"Yeah. Talk to your mother when you go back. I'll go to your house later."

Xu Zaijing nodded in agreement.

Out of the corridor,

Grandma Chang and Qingyun both held umbrellas.

Everyone came to the second gate and watched Xu Zaijing get on the horse. Bai said: "On rainy days, the road is wet and slippery. Slow down on the road!"

"I know, Auntie."

Xu Zaijing rode to the gate and saw a well-dressed stewardess walking in.

Seeing Xu Zaijing, the nanny returned the favor with a blessing.

When Xu Zaijing left Xingguofang on horseback and was about to arrive home,

The Duke's Mansion of Qi State,

Princess Pingning was having breakfast with Duke Qi,

The nanny on the side said softly:

"My lord, the princess, our housekeeper is back!"

"Do you know what happened?"

"Mrs. Bai said it was a happy event, so it's not convenient to say more, but I would like to thank our family for their concern."

Princess Pingning nodded.

The Duke of Qi at the table asked in confusion: "What happy event is it inconvenient to tell more about?"

Princess Pingning put down the spoon in her hand, thought for a moment and said, "It should be related to the Xu family. It is probably Sister An of the Xu family who has the child."

Qi Guogong was stunned and said: "How did you guess this?"

Princess Pingning said:

"Ms. Pan took Sister An back to the city early yesterday. I heard that Sister An was unwell."

"Mrs. Bai also said that it is a happy event, but the time is too short and the fetus is not firmly seated, so it is not suitable to be too public."

Duke Guo of Qi nodded and said:

"correct!"

"As I told you last night, Mr. Kang has entrusted our family with matters."

Princess Pingning shook her head and said:

"I think it's better to forget it. The North is at stake now!"

"Although my father, Marquis of Xiangyang, has regained his ambitions now, he will not accept a military general who sent his daughter to Prince Kang's Mansion to be a concubine for the purpose of building a career."

"It's not like you don't know how much my father loved me before."

Duke Qi nodded with deep feeling: "Okay, then I will find an excuse to go back."

Quyuan Street,

Marquis Mansion Stables,

Alan took off the saddle and bridle of the dragon pony that was looking for books. After carefully wiping the water droplets on the horse's body, he covered her with a thin blanket.

After doing this, Alan looked curiously at the hut outside the stable.

There, the single-eyed Uncle Yin was talking to an old man. That was Uncle Deng, or Uncle Deng, who was responsible for the farming affairs of the Marquis Mansion.

After Alan mixed the ingredients for Long Ju, he walked over.

After looking at Alan, Uncle Yin did not stop talking and continued to give instructions:

"The man said that the in-laws of the Hou family sent it from the south. As long as the things he brought can be cultivated in the house, it is a great achievement!"

Dumbledore nodded and said:

"Don't worry, young master! I understand the stakes involved."

"Yes. Someone should be here after the lady finishes asking her questions."

Alan asked curiously: "Uncle Yin, what is it?"

Uncle Yin said with sigh in his eyes: "Anyone who can stop bleeding and save lives can't be exchanged for gold."

The mother-in-law's son,

When Xu Zaijing walked into the courtyard,

I saw a dark-faced man dressed as a servant, bowing and standing on the corridor to shelter from the rain. He was lean and lean, with a screen in front of him that blocked his line of sight.

Listening to the words behind the screen, the man nodded from time to time.

Finally, the dark-faced man said in a somewhat stiff Dazhou dialect:

"Madam, please don't worry. The younger one will definitely explain everything clearly."

"Okay! It's been a hard journey for you to come to Beijing from Yongzhou. Take these materials back and make new clothes for your wife and daughter at home."

"Thank you, madam!"

Accompanied by the fit woman, when the lean man with dark face turned to leave holding the material,

Seeing Xu Zaijing, who was dressed in splendid clothes, walking towards him, he quickly bowed.

Xu Zaijing looked at the lean man and nodded in greeting, feeling that this man had a similar temperament to someone in his memory.

Xu Zaijing stopped and turned around to look at the servant's figure, frowning and thinking

After a moment, Xu Zaijing's eyes lit up and he remembered!

It was the day before, and it was related to Yang Luoyou, the pipa player who composed "The Song of Congratulations to the Father and Son in the Battle"!

then,

Yang Luoyou was repairing the pipa in the musical instrument shop near Pan Lou. Yang Luoyou's apprentice Xiao Zhiyue secretly slept on the bedding hanging in the musical instrument shop.

Yang Luoyou thought that Xiao Zhiyue was being taken advantage of, and urgently asked for help.

It was Xiao Zhiyue who was found by Li Mubai and Capt. Li with the help of him.

When Xu Zaijing himself left in the car after helping Yang Luoyou, he saw the dark and lean young man following Prince Yong, Han Chengyun and others.

It should be the son of the leader of the Nong tribe who was comforted by King Yong as my sister-in-law said before.

During this period, I heard from my mother and sister-in-law that the leader’s son had now received an official position and had returned to Yongzhou.

With Da Zhou as their backer, the Nong tribe fought several victorious battles at the blurred border between Da Zhou and Jiaozhi.

Thinking of this, Xu Zaijing had already walked to the door of the house.

At this time, Mother Bamboo was instructing the female envoy to move the screen.

Xu Zaijing entered the room with a smile, looked at Sun, and said:

"Mom, she has a fourth sister!"

"Also, Aunt Bai said she would come over in the morning."

Saying that, Xu Zaijing entered the room and sat on a chair.

Sun smiled and nodded.

Xu Zaijing took the tea handed over by Cuichan and took a sip. He looked around the room and said, "Sister Hualan, where is my sister-in-law?"

Hua Lan, who was wearing bright silver clothes and had gained a lot of weight, raised her handkerchief, smiled and said, "Xiao Wu, you'd better ask your mother."

Xu Zaijing followed the words and looked at Sun.

Mrs. Sun saw her younger son looking over, picked up the tea cup and said:

"I have invited the girl to check your sister-in-law's pulse."

Xu Zaijing thought about Mr. Xie who had eaten well in the morning and nodded doubtfully.

Mrs. Sun drank her tea slowly, thinking about the gem dagger that her eldest son brought back to Beijing a month ago for his younger son.

Xu Zaijing put down the tea cup, stood up and said, "Then, mother, I'm going to Sheng's house."

"Xiao Wu, wait."

Hua Lan spoke up.

Xu Zaijing looked at Hua Lan: "Sister Hua Lan, what's wrong?"

Hua Lan and her mother-in-law Sun looked at each other. Seeing the affirmative look in Sun's eyes, Hua Lan said:

"Xiaowu, your third brother went to the Sheng family early."

"Just in time, take these banknotes to grandma and the others. I'll put the specific amount in an envelope for you."

Xu Zaijing scratched his head and asked, "What kind of banknotes?"

Seeing his mother and sister-in-law looking at him angrily, Xu Zaijing patted his forehead and said:

"Now that I think about it, it's not a loss, right?"

Hearing Xu Zaijing's words, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't hold back their lips at all, and their joy was beyond words.

Afterwards, Xu Zaijing continued to drink tea in the house.

Hualan worked hard with Cuichan's help, and finally handed a box made of precious wood to Xu Zaijing.

Xu Zaijing looked at the wooden box and said, "Sister Hualan, you don't lock it?"

Hua Lan glared at Xu Zaijing and said:

"If it's less, I'll ask my mother for the key to the warehouse and pick a few items from your reward, Xiao Wu. Anyway, it won't be a loss!"

"All right!"

Xu Zaijing stood up, bowed to his mother and sister-in-law, and walked out with the wooden box.
