Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

"Brother Jing, why do you look at me like this?"

"Erlang, for no reason, why did Liulang and Jiulang invite us to Panlou Gaole?"

Gu Tingye glanced at Xu Zaijing angrily and said, "Brother Jing, why do you go, you don't know?"

Xu Zaijing looked at Gu Tingye doubtfully and shook his head.

The two were riding side by side. Gu Tingye came to Xu Zaijing's side and whispered:

"I heard before that you fought for her, but you said you didn't know?"

Xu Zaijing: "Who?"

Gu Tingye looked at Xu Zaijing with a pretending expression and said, "Fang Niang!"

Xu Zaijing was stunned for a moment, and then he said clearly in his eyes: "Oh! Erlang, you said it's the Dragon Boat Festival, and those girls you invited before are going to perform on stage?"

Gu Tingye nodded and said excitedly: "I heard that Jiulang and Liulang raised a lot of money just for a kiss."

Xu Zaijing scratched his forehead and asked:

"How old are they this year? Just"

Gu Tingye said:

"They are both fifteen years old! My cousins ​​who live in four and five bedrooms in my family have three or four of them at this age!"

"Brother Jing, why are you looking at me like this? I, I didn't have sex! I"

"The female envoy Qiuniang... Hey, brother Jing, don't leave! Listen to me and let me explain!"

Xu Zaijing raised his chin and said: "Erlang, don't follow me. If I follow you again, I will have to take a long detour!"

Gu Tingye looked at Xu Zaijing walking away and squeezed the reins in his hand.

Looking back at Zhique who was suppressing a smile, Gu Tingye glared and said:

"What are you laughing at? If you were married like Qingyun, would I take you to the school every day? You're so rough!"

The young man Zhique hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Sir, okay! I will ask my mother-in-law to propose marriage!"

Gu Tingye looked at Zhique in surprise and said, "No, I'll just tell you! Do you have someone to propose marriage to? Someone from our family? Who?"

Zhique scratched his head shyly and said:

"Young Master, he is not from our house. He is a girl in charge of the Wu family. Her parents have been in Jiangning Mansion to look after the salt village for the mistress."

"A few days ago, I came to Bianjing with her mother-in-law and a lady named Wei!"

"After the mistress saw the girl, she asked Grandma Chang to hold the line. We are going to make a decision in a few days."

Gu Tingye pondered for a moment: "Where is my grandma Wu's family?"

Zhique nodded.

Gu Tingye gently pulled the reins and said:

"Then just do it normally. I was just talking."

Knocking lightly on the horse's belly, the horse walked towards Xingguofang.

Gu Tingye on horseback shook his head and sighed: "Hey!"

The young man is about to get engaged, but I don’t even have anyone to discuss marriage with!

The second day

afternoon

Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chui Gong Hall

The emperor was sitting at the door of the hall, looking at the memorial in his hand under the setting sun.

The great internal official, Zhao Zilong and Zhao Meifeng stood aside.

The emperor looked back at Zhao Meifeng, who was a little thin and slim, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Meifeng."

Zhaomei Feng bowed and said, "My responsibilities are my duty."

The emperor nodded appreciatively, stood up, and walked towards the palace with his hands behind his back.

The chief minister and others hurriedly followed.

"Meifeng, based on what you have seen and heard during this trip, what King Yong said is true that Jiaozhi repeatedly attacked, harassed, and killed the people who surrendered to me in the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

Zhaomeifeng cupped his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, what you said is true."

After taking a look at the master, Zhao Meifeng continued:

"Your Majesty, I have gone deep into the territory of Jiaozhi and found out that the three major forces of Ding, Li, and Li in Jiaozhi are at war with each other, and there will probably be civil strife in the near future."

"But after hearing that I, Da Zhou, was using troops against Bai Gao, Jiaozhi kept moving. Most likely, he wanted to use troops against me, Da Zhou, to solve the problem."

The emperor looked at the memorial in his hand and said, "Meifeng, according to what you have seen, what is the fighting strength of the mountain people of the Jisu tribe such as the Nong people?"

Zhaomeifeng replied: "Your Majesty, the mountain people admire me, the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they have a feud with Jiaozhi to attack, harass and kill, and their combat power is stronger than that of Jiaozhi's soldiers."

The emperor nodded and said, "The people stationed in Yongzhou are the Xie family, Xuhou's in-laws?"

"Your Majesty, yes!"

"Without Viscount Xie's help, I would have died of illness in Yongzhou long ago and would have been unable to return to Beijing."

The emperor thought about the memorial written by Viscount Xie he had seen before, nodded and said:

"Let the people from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Rites all come to the palace."

"Let's discuss the matter in the south together."

The Hanlin bachelor standing on the side of the hall quickly bowed down and wrote vigorously.

After finishing speaking, the emperor sat behind the imperial desk and looked at the other posts in his hand. When he saw the last one, the emperor was stunned and said:

"Is this what Xu Jiawulang asked you to investigate?"

Zhao Mei Feng should be.

The emperor shook his head and said:

"The brat is pretty lenient!"

"Twelve-year-old scholar?"

The chief minister on the side bowed and answered: "Your Majesty, it seems to be the auspiciousness that You Yang mentioned before."

The emperor looked at the content of the post and sneered:

"I remembered it! It was the birthday gift given to me by the Office of Academic Affairs of Pingjiang Mansion back then!"

"WTF!"

In mid-April,

Xu Zaijing returned from school at Sheng's house.

After turning into Quyuan Street, he saw Gao Yunqing standing next to Shu Bo's stall with his excellent eyesight.

In Xu Zaijing's field of vision, there was a somewhat unfamiliar person sitting on the table next to Gao Yunqing.

Afterwards, Xu Zaijing dismounted in surprise, walked to the table and said, "Brother Zhao, how did you become so thin?"

Zhaomeifeng, who was sitting on the stool, put down the teacup in his hand and said:

"Phew, the fried chicken and rabbit made by Shu Bo makes people drool just by smelling it!"

After finishing speaking, Zhaomei Feng shook his head and said: "I went south for a trip and got sick."

Xu Zaijing was speechless for a moment, and he raised his hands in embarrassment and said, "Brother Zhao, I really didn't expect it."

Before Xu Zaijing could finish his words, Zhaomeifeng waved his hand and interrupted: "It has nothing to do with you, brother Jing. I got this disease in Yongzhou."

"Uncle Shu, the fried chicken and rabbit are cooked and delivered to the house."

"good!"

With that said, Zhao Meifeng and Xu Zaijing walked towards the gate of the Hou Mansion together.

Still at the edge of the racecourse, Qingyun, Alan and Xu Zaijing's master Yin Bo were sitting not far outside the house.

inside the house,

After Gao Yunqing put the food and drinks on the table, he also stood by the door.

Xu Zaijing filled a glass of wine for Zhaomeifeng and said, "Didn't you say you were going to the southeast? Why did Brother Zhao say you were going to Yongzhou?"

Zhaomeifeng said: "The south of Yongzhou is Jiaozhi. King Yong sent a letter saying that Jiaozhi was a little unstable, so your majesty sent me there."

Xu Zaijing frowned and said, "Will there be a fight?"

Zhao Meifeng nodded and said: "Yes! They know that I, Da Zhou, use troops against Bai Gao, so why don't they come and take advantage?"

"By the way, Yun Qing went to check on the matter you asked me to go to Youyang to investigate."

After hearing Zhaomeifeng's words, Xu Zaijing looked at Gao Yunqing at the door.

Gao Yunqing cupped his hands and said:

"Wulang, the scholar whose surname is Sun you are talking about lost his father in his early years, and his mother made a living by helping people wash clothes in Youyang County."

"He passed the college examination at the age of twelve and became a scholar. He has been studying in the Sheng family's big house for these years."

"Although I studied hard, I failed every time I tried."

Xu Zaijing nodded, glanced at Zhaomeifeng doubtfully and said:

"Brother Zhao, what are you looking at me for?"

"Brother Jing, at your age, you haven't passed the hospital examination yet?"

Xu Zaijing forced out a smile and said, "Yes! I will take the college entrance examination this year."

Zhao Meifeng raised his eyebrows, picked up his chopsticks and started eating the food.

Xu Zaijing motioned to Gao Yunqing to continue.

"The younger one also tested Sun Xiucai with a woman, and concluded that Sun Xiucai has a lust for sex but no courage for sex."

"The mother of Sun Xiucai is cowardly, stingy and greedy for money!"

"The family is not a good match."

Xu Zaijing nodded and asked, "Have you ever informed Madam Li of the Sheng family about this conclusion?"

Gao Yunqing cupped his hands and said:

"The younger one asked the eldest lady of the Youyang County magistrate's family to convey this matter to the eldest lady of the Sheng family!"

"But, as far as the county magistrate's wife relayed it, Mrs. Li of the Sheng family probably didn't listen to her reaction."

"The eldest lady in the eldest house of the Sheng family seems to think that the eldest lady of the county magistrate is trying to rob Sun Xiucai from the Sheng family, and she even moved out the second eldest lady of the Hou Mansion."

Xu Zaijing frowned and asked, "Have you told the old lady of the Sheng family?"

"As I said, the old lady didn't object to this marriage."

Xu Zaijing nodded.

Gao Yunqing glanced at Xu Zaijing.

The Zhaomeifeng wine glass stopped at his lips. Seeing Gao Yunqing's worried look, he said, "If you have anything to say, you don't have to hide it with Brother Jing."

Gao Yunqing cupped his hands and said, "Yes, boss."

"Wu Lang, this eldest lady in the eldest house of the Sheng family is from the merchant Li family."

"I heard that a few years ago, the eldest wife of the Sheng family and the second eldest wife, Li and Wang, had a disagreement. In the end, Mrs. Wang bowed her head and apologized."

"Whether it's the Li family or the Sheng family, if you seek help from Sheng Hongsheng in the second room, you'll most likely have to go to the Wang family through Mrs. Wang."

"Because of what happened in the past, whether it was the steward of the Sheng family or the steward of the Li family, they often suffered from the humiliation of Madam Wang."

Xu Zaijing looked at Gao Yunqing and said, "So the eldest family of the Sheng family is working hard and hopes that the eldest family can produce a Jinshi official?"

Gao Yunqing nodded and said, "Yes. Not only the Sheng family's eldest family, Madam Li's natal family also provided several seeds for studying. Among them, one of the Li family named Li Yu is very good at reading."

Xu Zaijing nodded, smiled at Gao Yunqing and said, "Brother Lao Gao."

Gao Yunqing bowed his hands.

Zhaomeifeng spit out the chicken bones in his mouth and said:

"Goro, what are you going to do?"

"Are you going to ride thousands of miles to Youyang, argue your interests with the Sheng family's chief minister, and then give Sun Xiucai a good beating?"

Xu Zaijing picked up a glass of wine on the table, drank it all and said, "The mountain man has his own clever plan."

Zhao Meifeng looked at Xu Zaijing's appearance, nodded and said:

"Well! It's good that Wulang has an idea."

"Viscount Xie is stationed in Yongzhou. Your Majesty convened the important officials in the court, and the result of the discussion was mostly to allow the Xie family to expand their army."

"Your Majesty asked me to tell Wu Lang that I would like to thank the Viscount for thinking more about things."

Xu Zaijing raised his eyes and looked at Zhaomei Peak and said, "Beware of King Yong?"

Zhaomei Feng smiled slightly: "Your Majesty is trying to conquer the throne for the prince, not for King Yong."

Xu Zaijing nodded. It was impossible for the emperor's intention to be told to the Xie family through one channel.

When the two were about to continue clinking glasses,

Qingyun's voice came from outside the door: "Master, Brother Zhao, the Imperial City Department sent someone to tell Brother Zhao to enter the palace quickly."

Yong Yi Hou Mansion

Mother's house

The female envoys were standing at the entrance of the courtyard.

Mother Dan, Mother Zhu, and other Sun's personal maids all stood facing the house, not allowing anyone to approach the main house.

inside the house,

Mrs. Xie habitually put her hands in front of her belly, listening to Xu Zaijing's words, with excitement and worry in her eyes.

"Sister-in-law, these are the things that Chief Xiao Zhao said! Therefore, Xie Zijue's army must be expanded."

After Xu Zaijing finished speaking, he took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

Mrs. Xie glanced at her mother-in-law, Mrs. Sun, and said:

"Xiao Wu, what do you think my father should do?"

Xu Zaijing pondered for a moment and then said:

"Sister-in-law, now Da Zhou is fighting Bai Gao in the north, while the south is still mainly defending."

"The king of Yong has been a vassal for many years, and his trees have deep roots in all directions of Yongzhou."

"Viscount, firstly, he wants to expand his army and prepare for war, and secondly, he must be wary of King Yong. I need my sister-in-law and Aunt Xie to tell Viscount Xie about this."

After Mrs. Xie nodded, she gently stroked her belly and said, "Then I will invite mother to our home tonight."

An hour later,

The Xie family's carriage drove into the Xu family gate.

At the second gate,

The eldest lady of the Xie family and the third girl Xie Rui got out of the carriage and hurriedly came to Sun's yard.

Seeing the female envoy of the Xu family who could only stay at the entrance of the courtyard, the eldest lady of the Xie family looked at her daughter very worriedly.

Then he said to the female envoy of the Xie family, "You guys stay here too."

Xie's servants stopped and responded.

The mother and daughter came to the door of the house and hurried in.

Madam Xie asked anxiously: "My mother-in-law, what's going on?"

Xie Rui also shouted anxiously: "Sister!"

Then, the mother and daughter looked at Mrs. Xie who was sitting peacefully next to Mrs. Sun. The eldest lady of the Xie family said with confusion in her eyes:

"Doesn't this mean that you are not feeling well?"

After the two families talked and explained what happened,

Mrs. Xie breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Mrs. Sun and said:

"Madam, I just received good news at home before I came here, and then I heard that she had a bad stomach. It really scared me!"

Xie said: "Mom, what's the good news?"

The eldest lady of the Xie family said:

"Kang'anbo's Xiong family sent our family news, saying that their Xiong Yan had just received the order from the palace and was going to Guangnan West Road. He said that he had been given the official position of inspection in the capital city with real power."

Xiong Yan is the uncle Yan who came to the Xu family for a blind date before.

Sun nodded and said, "She should be responsible for the recruitment and training of soldiers on Guangnan West Road."

Lady Xie said:

"When the Xiong family came to spread the news, they were a little puzzled as to why they suddenly got such an official position."

"I understand what my in-laws just said."

Mrs. Sun nodded and continued: "Madam, after I left the house, I took advantage of my eldest daughter-in-law's unhappiness to send a message to Viscount Xie."

The eldest lady of the Xie family nodded quickly.

Later, Mrs. Sun and her eldest daughter-in-law sent her mother-in-law and the third girl of the Xie family to the door of the house.

Before parting, the Xu family's wife took the Xie family's third wife by the hand and said:

"Sister Rui, this matter is related to my father's safety. Once you leave this door, forget all about it."

Xie Rui nodded heavily.

In the evening, when someone from the Xie family comes,

Xu Zaijing had returned to his small courtyard to avoid suspicion.

Turn the world upside down,

Xu Zaijing exercised and went to school as usual.

Entered the Shengjia Lecture Hall,

After greeting Changbai,

Xu Zaijing sat behind the desk and started reading, while Hua Xiang sat on the wooden platform behind and was busy compiling Baisuo.

morning,

Halfway through the class, Dong Rong walked in holding a Di newspaper.

After Zhuang Xuexue read the content in the newspaper, his eyes widened, he knocked on the table with his folding fan and said:

"Stop reading for now. I have some news for you."

Qi Heng asked curiously: "What are you studying for?"

Zhuang Xuexue said: "The people from Shanda sent people to report that the Jin Kingdom defeated the army of the Great Bohai Kingdom in Liaodong and fought fiercely with the Northern Liao army."
