Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

The horse Xu Zaijing rode today was not one of the two dragon colts;

It is the offspring of the Liju given by the emperor and Xu Zaijing's first mount.

That is Xiao Liju.

Both parents are rare good horses,

So over the past few years, the little Liju has not only grown to a shoulder height that is not inferior to that of the Liju, but because it is a stallion, the little Liju is much stronger than its mother.

Also because it is a stallion, the colt has not been gelded, so its temper is much more violent than that of its mother.

Stallions raised with such care are extremely strong and difficult for ordinary people to tame.

Unfortunately, it was Xu Zaijing who I met.

After being punished several times by Xu Zaijing, Xiao Liju became extremely obedient in front of Xu Zaijing.

In particular, there were two dragon colts sent from Beiliao to be the mates of the little Li colt. One of them was pregnant and lived a much more comfortable life than its owner.

He also said that a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle.

The little Liju has beautiful muscle curves and its fur is shiny and smooth!

In addition, it is carrying a Bei Liao saddle, and the belt that fixes the saddle around the body is also decorated with gold and jade. The outfit matches the attire of the noble young man on its back.

It’s not surprising that he could attract everyone’s exclamation at the entrance of Pan Tower in the afternoon.

Xiao Liju looked at the several humanoid creatures in front of him and snorted in disdain!

Then it attracted the two noble young men who looked back at it, their eyes filled with wonder!

"Brother Jing, when did you get such a handsome horse again?"

Xu Zaijing on horseback said helplessly: "Liu Lang, if you don't know how to speak, just speak less! What do you mean by making trouble?"

Liang Han hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Slip of my tongue, my slip of the tongue!"

Qiao Jiulang looked sideways at the little Liju's belly and raised his eyebrows.

While talking, Xu Zaijing had already dismounted and handed the reins to Alan beside him.

After Alan took over the reins, he first fed Little Liju a fruit to please him, and then led Little Liju towards the yard next to Pan Tower.

In fact, when Alan raised the dragon colt before, he didn't have the habit of pretending to be a fruit to please him, but he learned it after being dragged by the little Liju several times.

I understand that Xiao Liju is also a smooth-talking person.

Most of the horses used by the wealthy families who gathered around Panlou to ride and pull their carts were mares with docile personalities.

So on the way to the yard, the majestic little Li colt caused a commotion among the horses of the wealthy people around.

The coachmen or boys of each family also knew horses. When they saw the appearance of the little Liju, they kept shouting and holding their own mare hard to prevent them from getting too close and being kicked by the little Liju.

Entering the yard, Alan directly asked for a stable, otherwise the little Liju would definitely kick and bite the gelding horses.

Watching Xiao Liju's perky butt disappear next to Pan Lou,

Liang Han smacked his lips and hurriedly caught up with Xu Zaijing who was walking in front. He and Qiao Jiulang walked towards Pan Lou with Xu Zaijing on one side.

Dragon Boat Festival,

This was the day when the scholars of Bianjing competed for banquets.

After careful consideration, Mr. Pan’s family chose today to hold a ‘meeting meeting’ for the future courtesans of the two major brothels in Bianjing. The effect was very good.

But some are too good.

Some ordinary people in Bianjing can no longer enter Panlou.

If you want to get in, you have to check the post with Pan Lou at the door.

Seeing Xu Zaijing and his party, Pan Lou's boy, Ermin, quickly bowed and said:

"Brother Diaoche, you don't need to read this post! All the young men will recognize it!"

"Wu Lang, Liu Lang, Jiu Lang, please come in."

Liang Han said with a carefree smile: "You little monkey has a good eye, catch the car and reward it!"

Taking the string of copper coins thrown into the air by the fishing cart with both hands, Brother Min quickly shouted:

"Thank you young master for the reward!"

After Brother Xiao Ermin finished calling, two very good-looking maids wearing light clothes hurriedly opened the wide curtain made of silk gauze at the door of Panlou.

Feeling the eyes of Qiao Jiulang and Liang Liulang, the faces of the two maids were full of shyness.

One of them boldly glanced at the three of them, then quickly lowered his head with a frown on his face.

Liang Han couldn't help but look at her.

Qiao Jiu on the side said: "Liu Lang, what's wrong?"

Liang Han frowned, his eyes full of thinking and said: "Hey, why does she look familiar!"

Feeling the gazes of Xu Zaijing and Qiao Jiulang, Liang Han said, "Why do you look at me like this?"

Xu Zaijing and Qiao Jiulang didn't speak, and continued to stare at Liang Han with smiles on their lips.

"I don't!"

Liang Han said quickly.

Xu Zaijing raised his eyebrows and said, "We didn't say anything!"

"Brother Jing, Jiulang, you two believe me, I really don't!"

Qiao Jiulang: "Yes, yes."

While the three of them were talking, they had not yet bypassed the huge screen with dense clusters of flowers and entered the Pan Tower.

Then I heard the pleasant sound of silk, bamboo and wind music.

After walking past the screen, I saw a huge wooden platform about one foot high on the first floor of Pan Building.

The height of the wooden platform has almost reached half of the height from the first to the second floor.

There are also many tables placed around the wooden platform, most of which are from wealthy families in Bianjing. The height of the wooden platform makes the location on the first floor no longer the best.

The place Xu Zaijing and the others wanted to go was the second floor, which had the best view and location. It was obviously not something that only money could go to.

When going up the stairs, Xu Zaijing and the others happened to pass by where the musicians were.

Among the musicians, there were two women holding pipa. When they saw Xu Zaijing, they stood up and gave a blessing.

While scanning, he saw a little girl holding a drum behind Yang Luoyou.

After recognizing the two former pipa players Yang Luoyou and Tang Jiajia, Xu Zaijing nodded politely.

Under the guidance of the waiter, Xu Zaijing and the others arrived at the corridor on the second floor. At this time, the corridor had been divided into many single rooms by exquisite screens.

"Brother Jing, we are right here!"

Xu Zaijing listened to Liang Han's words, looked at the spacious compartment facing the wooden platform, and nodded appreciatively!

The location here is relatively deep, and people don't often pass by in the corridor.

After sitting down at the table filled with Bianjing snacks, there was a delicate flower note pressed under the porcelain bowl containing the snacks. On it was written the name and address of the merchant of this bowl of snacks. If you really like it, you can find it through the flower note. store owner.

Qingcao came outside the screen, waved to the female envoy Pan Lou not far away and said:

"Girl, please ask someone to bring over a small stove for making tea."

While Xu Zaijing was eating snacks with Liang Han, Qingcao began to prepare tea.

When the flower paper on the table in front of Qiao Jiulang with the words "Liangmen Lihe Family" was piled with pumpkin seed shells,

Qi Heng and Gu Tingye waved to Xu Zaijing and the others from the first floor.

Soon, both of them were on the second floor.

"Sister Qingcao, are you making tea?"

A girl's voice came,

Xu Zaijing looked back and saw that it was Gu Tingye who not only brought Zhique but also Qiuniang from the courtyard today.

After Qi Heng came in with Buwei, he glanced around the compartment and sighed with disappointment when he saw that the Yun Xiang sisters were not there.

Otherwise, he smiled and stood next to Qingyun: "Brother Qingyun!"

Qingyun smiled and nodded.

Liang Han and Qiao Jiu's servants were both younger than Buwei. After Buwei finished calling people, they hurriedly called out, "Brother Zhique, Brother Buwei." ’

Buwei and Zhique nodded like blue clouds.

There are more and more guests in Pan Tower.

The performances on the round stage gradually became more exciting.

Many of the performers were oirans who made their debut on such a round stage a few years ago or more than ten years ago.

Many years have passed,

There are powerful female dancers who have redeemed their lives, but come back again after encountering unkind people.

Some female musicians are still somewhat famous, and they are rewarded somewhat for dancing or having fun.

If you perform on the stage today, you might be able to attract new patrons. After all, not all men like young girls.

Mature sister is also liked by many people.

And those who have long been ignored have no chance to even get close to this round platform.

The sound of cheers sounded from time to time in the Pan Tower.

The green grass cooking tea in the cubicle filled a cup of tea for Xu Zaijing and then walked to the back.

After pouring tea into several Pan Lou teacups on the tray, Qingcao walked up to Qingyun and the others with the tray and whispered:

"Brother Qingyun, no, you drink tea."

Xu Zaijing listened to the voice of 'Sister Xie Qingcao' behind him, looked at Liang Han and said, "Liu Lang, what are you thinking about?"

Gu Tingye, who was being fed pumpkin seeds by Qiu Niang, also looked over and said, "I must be thinking about the girl under Mama Ruan!"

Qiao Jiulang also looked over and said, "Liu Lang, as promised, you won't snatch Yun Niang from me!"

Liang Han waved his hand and said: "Go, go, even if I don't want to, you will definitely be able to win Jiulang?"

As he spoke, Liang Han pointed around on the second floor and said:

"Jiulang, over there are the families of Han Guogong, Ling Guogong, and An Guogong. There are several palaces over there, but they are all invited by Mother Ruan to watch the performances of several girls!"

"Robbing them? Can you really win?"

Qiao Jiu clicked her tongue and said, "That's possible!"

After saying that, he glanced at Xu Zaijing again.

Xu Zaijing looked puzzled.

After Liang Han finished speaking, he continued to be lost in thought. After closing his eyes and frowning and thinking for a while, he still shook his head.

At this time,

Gu Tingye on the side took the tea handed over by Qiu Niang, took a sip and said, "Hey, we were in Pan Lou before."

"Snapped!"

Suddenly,

Liang Han slammed the table and opened his eyes.

"Rokuro, what are you doing!"

Gu Tingye asked, almost choking.

Liang Han said: "Brother Jing, I remembered!"

He looked at Xu Zaijing with a look in his eyes like "What did you remember?"

Liang Han hurriedly said: "They are the two female envoys at the door of Pan Tower!"

Hearing this, Gu Tingye glanced at the back of Qiuniang who went to pour him tea, gave Liang Han a thumbs up and said, "Liu Lang, tusk tusk, we two heroes have the same vision!"

After speaking, he raised his eyebrows.

Liang Han rolled his eyes at Gu Tingye and said, "Brother Jing, do you remember that we came to Pan Lou to play before, around this day, and those rich and evil boys I told you about?"

When Xu Zaijing heard Liang Han's words, he frowned and pondered for a moment, then said hesitantly:

"Rokuro, you mean the time we came to Panlou after my father left for the north?"

"You also said that those rich and evil young men with brocade tattoos and hanging around two or three girls riding horses look like they have just arrived in Bianjing!"

Liang Han nodded and said: "Yes, yes! Brother Jing, I saw those women on horseback in the carriage coming to Panlou. They are the ones we saw at the door just now!"

Xu Zaijing raised his thumb and said, "Liu Lang, you have a good memory!"

After Xu Zaijing and Liang Han's words, Qi Heng on the side also nodded and said:

"Brother Jing, when you said that, I also remembered it."

"I don't know what will happen to those evil young men from rich families."

Liang Han picked up the teacup, took a sip and said, "What can I do? I'm either being caught cheating and paying for it, or I'm being dragged into a gambling house and losing everything."

After listening to Liang Han's words, Gu Tingye raised his eyebrows.

At this time, the green grass at the door said:

"Master, Master Hai is here with someone."

When Xu Zaijing and others stood up in a hurry, Hai Chaojie had already revealed his figure by the screen.

Hai Chaojie cupped his hands and said to the people behind him: "Guys, this is the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, Yongyi Marquis' Mansion, the Duke of Qi I told you about."

A group of people behind Hai Chaojie hurriedly bowed their hands and said hello.

Xu Zaijing looked at the people around Hai Chaojie. He knew Shen Jiashen Herui and Hube Chen Silang, but the other young people following him were a little unfamiliar.

Qi Heng, Gu Tingye and other four people also had similar expressions.

Seeing Xu Zaijing's eyes, Hai Chaojie introduced with a smile:

"Guys, this is the eldest son of Mr. Su, the former Minister of Rites, Su Song and Su Zirong. His ancestral home is Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian Road."

Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye quickly bowed their hands and said, "Nice to meet you!"

Su Zirong returned the favor with his hand.

Hai Chaojie continued: "This is the eldest son of the former Minister of Rites, Deputy Privy Envoy Wang Shao, Wang Hou Wang Chudao."

Gu Tingye and others cupped their hands and said, "Nice to meet you!"

Xu Zaijing glanced at Wang Hou and asked towards Hai Chaojie: "Is this Lord Wang Shao the same Lord who gave His Majesty the 'Pingrong Policy' and enabled me to extend the border of the Zhou Dynasty to more than two thousand miles?"

Hai Chaojie nodded with a smile and said, "Brother Jing, you are right! Since the birth of the prince, your majesty has used Lord Wang Shao's Ping Rong strategy in the land of Hehuang."

After hearing the conversation between Xu Zaijing and Hai Chaojie, Qi Heng and others quickly bowed their hands and bowed again.

When Wang Chudao heard the two people praising his father, he cupped his hands in embarrassment and said:

"Nice to meet you! My father told me before that when Marquis Yongyi was in the Western Army, he was ordered by General Cao to lead troops to conquer the Qiang people and fight against Bai Gao."

"Marquis Yongyi also made great achievements in recovering Hehuang!"

Xu Zaijing hurriedly gave in and said humbly: "Brother Chu Dao, I'm sorry! Mr. Wang's contribution to the policymaking is greater!"

After another exchange of compliments, Xu Zaijing looked at Su Song and Su Zirong and said, "Brother Zirong's ancestral home is Quanzhou Prefecture?"

Su Zirong nodded: "Not bad!"

After finishing speaking, Su Zirong looked at Xu Zaijing curiously and waited for the next sentence.

Xu Zaijing smiled and said: "My second sister-in-law's father once served as an official in Quanzhou Prefecture, so I asked this question!"

After hearing Xu Zaijing's words, Su Zirong cupped his hands and said, "I wonder which sir it is?"

Xu Zaijing replied: "It's Sheng Hong who is currently serving in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, a Shanda man."

Upon hearing this, Su Zirong's eyes lit up and he said:

"It turned out to be Shanda people! When I was studying at home, my father asked someone to take me to Shanda people's house to learn calligraphy."

"When I came to Bianjing, I even went to visit him at his house!"

Gu Tingye on the side said: "When did you go? Several of us are studying at Shengjia Book School, but we have never heard of it?"

Su Zirong said: "That day, I heard from Master Sheng that it seemed like the school was taking a nap!"

Everyone suddenly realized.

During the conversation,

Shen Herui, who was standing behind Hai Chaojie, said: "Zirong, the younger brother of Gu Tingyu, the literary talent you have always admired, is Brother Ye."

Upon hearing this, Gu Tingye straightened his chest instantly: "Nice to meet you, nice to meet you!"
