Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

Xu Zaijing spent a lot of time running around Bianjing City in the morning and waiting at home for his second sister-in-law Hualan to put a bunch of banknotes in envelopes.

When he arrived at Sheng's house, it was already around 10 o'clock in the morning.

Got off the carriage,

After Xu Zaijing said a few words beside Qingyun, Qingyun walked towards the housekeeper at the second door of the Sheng family.

Xu Zaijing took the green grass and walked into the yard where the book school was.

at this time,

There is a lot of green in the courtyard of the Sheng family, and the heavy cotton curtains around the lecture hall that were used to keep out the cold and keep warm have been removed.

Without these obstacles,

In this rainy spring weather, the fresh spring smell and relatively bright light filled the lecture hall.

Xu Zaijing took Qingcao to the steps of the lecture hall.

He bowed to Zhuang Xuexuu, who was behind the desk and looking down at the Zhou Dynasty newspaper:

"Pedant, the students are back."

Xuezhen Zhuang did not raise his head, and waved his hand to signal Xu Zaijing to come in. Xuexue himself continued to turn sideways, using the light outside the room to read the contents of the newspaper intently.

in the lecture hall,

After hearing Xu Zaijing's voice, Chang Bai, Zai Zhang and others who were mulling over words and sentences all looked up.

But Chang Feng didn't need to raise his head, because he was biting the back of the brush stick just now and was looking up to think about something.

Xu Zaijing took a few steps to his seat,

Gu Tingye looked at Xu Zaijing walking over and whispered:

"Brother Jing, I knew you were going to Xingguofang today, so I was waiting for you to come with you."

"Maybe I can sleep a little longer."

Xuexue Zhuang coughed lightly.

Gu Tingye immediately shut his mouth.

Xu Zaijing ignored him, but as he walked, he smiled and nodded towards his third brother Zai Zhang, who was sitting in the first row and looked over with concern.

Seeing Xu Zaijing's gesture, the corners of Zai Zhang's mouth turned up unconsciously.

After Qingcao carefully placed Xu Zaijing's 'stationery' on the desk, she took the wooden box and book box to the back and sat on the thick, low wooden platform.

Xiao Xiaotao next to Qingcao rubbed her sleepy eyes while Xu Zaijing was talking.

When she saw Qingcao coming over, Xiaotao quietly moved her buttocks and leaned against Qingcao.

"Sniff sniff."

Qingcao looked at Xiaotao, who was taller than when she first came to Bianjing and was twitching her nose, and she smiled.

Xiao Tao glanced at everyone in the school and asked in a very low voice:

"Sister Qingcao, did you change some new incense? It smells good!"

Qingcao said nothing and nodded.

Then Qingcao moved like Xiao Tao and looked at everyone in the school. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Qingcao and Xiao Tao whispered:

"Yesterday, I was playing with Hua Xiang and the others behind the tent by the Jinming Pond, and happened to meet several other female envoys from the Dukes and Counts' families, and we talked for a while."

"It was Sister Ningxiang from the Rong family who told me this in a low voice. She came up with the formula on a whim."

"Does it smell good?"

Hearing Qingcao's low voice asking, Xiaotao nodded quickly.

"I'll tell you after school."

"Uh-huh."

After Xiaotao nodded again, she looked curiously at the wooden box Qingcao placed on her lap.

Sensing Xiaotao's gaze, Qingcao smiled slightly.

It's time for school to end at noon.

After everyone in the school thanked the scholar for his teachings,

Wei Ruixuan's first-class female envoy Caihuan led a row of Sheng family envoys carrying food boxes to the steps of the lecture hall. After giving a blessing, she said:

"Pedant, brothers, this is a meal specially ordered by our eldest lady to prepare."

"The chef invited is from Fanlou in Beijing."

After Qi Heng, Zai Zhang, Gu Tingye and others expressed their thanks, their respective servants took over the food boxes.

The three Lans packed their things and prepared to go back to their respective residences.

At this time,

Xu Zaijing stood up, nodded with Chang Bai and the others and said:

"You guys eat, I'll go to my great-aunt's place!"

In the surprised eyes of everyone, he walked out of the yard.

"Brother Jing?"

"Xiao Wu?"

"you!"

Xu Zaijing walked out of the lecture hall with a smile, and Qing Cao behind him did not carry the book box, but held the wooden box.

On the way to Shouantang,

Minglan looked back curiously at Xu Zaijing and Qingcao who were walking behind, looked at each other with Xiao Tao and said:

"Cousin Jing is going to grandma's place?"

Seeing Xiao Tao nodding, Minglan rolled her eyes and said anxiously:

"It's broken! I won't be full for lunch again!"

In Shou'an Hall,

Mother Fang was standing at the round table, busy serving dishes.

The old lady was sitting on the Luohan bed, opening the wooden box in her hand and taking out the envelope inside.

Xu Zaijing was sitting on the chair under the old lady, looking at the dishes Cui's mother brought out from the waitress's tray.

Smelling the fragrance wafting in the room, Xu Zaijing smacked his lips.

The old lady who was opening the envelope looked at Xu Zaijing's greedy look, smiled, shook her head slightly and said:

"Brother Jing, what is this? Hua Lan is still so mysterious."

Xu Zaijing glanced at the fat and white Minglan standing next to the old lady and said:

"Auntie, you will know when you open it."

"Minglan, what are you looking at? This bun with bamboo shoots and meat is mine! Mother Fang specially steamed it for me."

Minglan lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes: "Oh!"

When Xu Zaijing spoke,

The old lady had already opened an envelope with the word 'Grandma' written on it, took out a few pieces of paper inside, and after taking a look:

"Brother Jing, what is this?"

Xu Zaijing smiled and said: "Auntie, this is the interest on the six thousand silver notes you gave to sister Hua Lan last year."

The old lady looked at the thing in her hand in surprise, and said with some disbelief:

"It's only been a few months, and you've made so much profit with capital?"

Xu Zaijing, who was looking at the dishes, turned his head, looked at the old lady and said, "Auntie, this is just money."

The old lady looked at Xu Zaijing in confusion: "Seven thousand guan in interest?"

Xu Zaijing nodded and said:

"Auntie, those carts of good things sent by relatives at home are all good news, whether they are from His Majesty, my father's army, or even Tuo Xihou."

"Over the past few years, great doctors from all over the world have studied its pharmacology. It is not only miraculous in stopping bleeding, relieving pain and reducing swelling, but it is also said to be good for women's skin and appearance!"

"All the silver notes I scraped together years ago have been exchanged for gold in the south, and a lot of seeds have been harvested!"

"The Imperial Hospital, the Northern Military Center, and all the major pharmacies are all busy asking for this product, so how can the profit be less!"

Listening to Xu Zaijing's words, the old lady nodded.

Xu Zaijing sighed. After all this, Prince Yong's Palace should have earned a lot of gold and silver.

After all, Prince Yong's palace received the medicine for the golden sore earlier than the nobles in the capital.

Thinking about this, Xu Zaijing glanced at the old lady and said:

"Great aunt!"

The old lady put the banknotes back into the envelope, glanced at Xu Zaijing with bright eyes, and said, "Huh?"

Xu Zaijing:

"Auntie, are there any outstanding farm children in your village?"

"My grandson would like to invite some of them back."

The old lady put the envelope into the wooden box and handed it to Fang's mother, who was standing by Bu Wancai. She looked at Xu Zaijing and said:

"I think I heard Ruan say that there are a few of them!"

"After a while, I'll let people go over."

Xu Zaijing stood up with a smile, bowed and said, "Thank you, great aunt!"

The old lady also stood up and said, "Come, let's eat!"

When eating, there is no rule about not talking about eating.

The old lady kept asking questions, while Xu Zaijing told her everything.

"Auntie, in fact, the biggest profit maker from this business was the Tuoxi Marquis Cao family. They paid the most money at that time."

The old lady nodded and said:

"The Cao family has been in charge of the northern border trade for many years, so they must be powerful."

"So, the Queen should also have benefited a lot?"

Xu Zaijing nodded:

"That's what my aunt said."

"After all, my queen has to save the dowry for the princess in advance."

Listening to Xu Zaijing's words, the old lady couldn't laugh or cry as she tapped him with her chopsticks.

After finishing the meal,

Minglan went to take a nap in the small room separated by a huanghuali partition in the back room.

The old lady was still sitting with Xu Zaijing in the outer hall, slowly drinking tea.

Putting the teacup on the table, the old lady looked at Xu Zaijing:

"Brother Jing, just now you said that the Queen is preparing the dowry for the little princess."

"Then, where is the current Holy Emperor?"

Xu Zaijing smiled slightly and said seriously:

"Auntie, my grandson feels that his father is helping the Holy One now that he is in the north."

"However, the things I helped prepare are for His Royal Highness."

The old lady said worriedly: "This job is not easy."

Xu Zaijing nodded and said:

"Auntie, don't worry too much about your nephew! Your Majesty has been on the throne for many years and you know what he is doing!"

The old lady looked at Xu Zaijing, her eyes full of thinking.

Thinking of the things the old lady heard and saw after the Sheng family came to Bianjing, she knew that her grandnephew was the emperor's favorite.

Nowadays, after all, she is no longer the only daughter of the famous Yong Yi Hou family, and the channels for obtaining information are also limited.

Looking at the things in the eyes of the young Xu Zaijing,

The old lady nodded, her expression relaxed a lot, and then asked with some curiosity in her eyes:

"Brother Jing, what were you busy with this morning? Are you at Sheng's house so late?"

Xu Zaijing whispered a few words to the old lady.

The old lady said with a happy face: "Good thing! Please tell me about the food."

After talking for a while, Xu Zaijing left Shou'antang.

The old woman sat alone in the hall, pondered for a moment and then said to herself:

"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings!"

After saying that, the old lady sat up straight and shouted:

"Su Qin, come! Send the envelope from Hua'er to the eldest lady in the box to Wei Ruixuan."

"Yes, old lady!"

The end of Youshi (7 p.m.)

It's getting dark,

Lanterns were hung in the courtyard of Shouantang, illuminating a small area.

Another warm yellow candlelight shone from inside the house, illuminating the painted pillars standing on the corridor outside the hall.

In the spring breeze at night,

From time to time, voices came through the windows:

"I heard from the lady that the effect of this thing was tried in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment!"

".What else is there to replenish blood and remove freckles?"

"Those ladies were very excited when they saw my daughter-in-law."

A quarter of an hour later,

"Mother, my wife is leaving!"

"Go!"

After a while,

The group of people walked under the verandah and walked along the corridor toward the outside of the courtyard.

On the way to Wei Ruixuan,

Wang Ruofu said as he walked:

"Well, the old lady told me to think more about why. Why?"

"The ladies from the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Works have a better attitude towards me, isn't it because my father has performed his duties in these two ministries!"

Mother Liu followed and said softly:

"What the eldest lady is saying is that the civil servants in court always want to show some respect for the late master."

"Yes, madam, the master has been dead for twenty years."

"This imperial examination has been held five or six times. Officials from the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Industry are in their prime years. In fact,"

Wang Ruofu rolled his eyes at Mama Liu in the dark:

"Actually what?"

"Can they not see who my father is?"

Mother Liu: "That's what the eldest lady said."

When he was about to arrive at Wei Ruixuan, Wang Ruofu stopped, looked at Caihuan beside him and said:

"By the way, how about the lunch that I invited the chef from Jingzhong to prepare for Changbai and the others today?"

Caihuan said: "Back to Madam, all the brothers like her very much, that's right"

Wang Ruofu continued to walk forward and said, "What is it?"

"The fifth son of the Xu family didn't have dinner at the school. He went to Shou'antang."

Wang Ruofu was stunned and said:

"Did Mother Fang go to invite you, or did Brother Jing go there himself?"

"Fang's mother didn't go to the school."

"Where's my uncle?"

"My uncle stayed at the school."

Wang Ruofu curled his lips and whispered:

"Tsk! It really took a lot of effort to hire this chef!"

"This boy is so good-looking, why is he so rude!"

"It's far worse than his brother Zai Zhang!"

While talking, everyone entered Wei Ruixuan. Wang Ruofu changed his clothes and took off his hairpin ring under the service of Liu's mother.

While I was arranging my hair in front of the dressing table,

Caihuan came over holding a letter and said:

"Madam, my mother sent this to our courtyard this afternoon. She said that my eldest sister asked the fifth young master to bring it."

Wang Ruofu reached out and took it:

"This girl Hualan, did she become a fool because of her pregnancy?"

"Why did you let this kid bring you?"

"Didn't my uncle come to our house to study in the morning?"

As Wang Ruofu opened the envelope, he pinched it in disgust and stayed for a moment.

"What is this? Banknotes?"

As he spoke, Wang Ruofu took out the letter paper and first looked at the amount of banknotes wrapped in the letter paper.

He said with some disgust:

"Tsk, Hua'er is really, it took him so long to earn so much."

"Although I followed the old lady and entered the Marquis Mansion, I am still young and have less experience!"

Mother Liu smiled and said, "That's what the eldest lady said."

He handed the banknotes and letter to Liu’s mother and said:

"Put it away first and we'll talk about it tomorrow! When I have a grandson, these will all be his!"

"Yes, madam!"

Mother Liu smiled and took it in her hand and put it in the wooden box in front of Wang Ruofu's bed.

soon,

The candles in the bedroom were blown out,

Mother Liu led the envoys out of the bedroom.

Wei Ruixuan fell into the night,

Only the stars in the sky twinkled.

Time flies,

When it was still dark, Lin Qige not far away became busy.

Soon, a lantern was carried by Dong Rong in the darkness, illuminating the way Lord Sheng Hong got on the carriage.

The sky is white with fish belly.

"Oh~oh~oh~"

In Bianjing City, the sound of roosters singing dawn reached Wei Ruixuan courtyard.

Mother Liu pushed the door open and entered the house with a colorful ring holding water.

after awhile,

Wei Shuyi hugged Chang Zhu and brought Xiaodie to the entrance of the courtyard.

The three of them walked around a rockery and waited at the steps in front of the house.

"Miss, please come in."

After a while,

Mo Lan and Ming Lan also brought their little envoys to the courtyard.

Finally, Ru Lan, who was rubbing her eyes as if she hadn't washed her face, walked out of the house with Magpie and stood in front of Ming Lan and Mo Lan.

Subsequently,

Sanlan went in to greet Wang Ruofu, and was taken to Shou'an Hall by Wang Ruofu.

A lot of work,

After everyone returned to the courtyard and had breakfast, the three Lans went to the book school.

Wei Ruixuan

Wang Ruofu sat on the chair behind the desk in the study, holding a brush in his hand and a thick account book spread out in front of him.

Mother Liu stood aside, with a wooden box taken from Wang Ruofu's bedroom.

"Here, take the banknotes Hua'er gave me last night."

Mother Liu handed over the paper.

Wang Ruofu muttered: "The principal plus interest is."

Mother Liu on the side looked at the words spread on the paper on the table and tugged at Wang Ruofu's clothes: "Madam, take a closer look."
