Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

"Have you seen her four times?"

"Yes."

The hall was quiet for a moment.

Wei Fangzhi still held the pipa with her head down, without looking up.

Wei Fangzhi's pipa skills were outstanding. Whether she followed her master Tang Dajia or Ruan Mama, she had been to many important occasions in Bianjing and had seen many grand scenes. She had also seen the nobles and their wives more than once.

Although she had only seen this noble lady in front of her tonight, she had a soft and elegant appearance. There were only a few girls in Wei Fangzhi's memory who could compare with her.

Thinking about the deep and winding corridors in the courtyard after entering, the solemn and quiet servants, and the novelty and comfort of the new clothes on her body, Wei Fangzhi could feel that this family was both rich and noble without thinking.

As for why the eldest son of the Chai family, who had been scheduled in the building, was replaced by this outstanding noble lady in front of him, and why he asked about the fifth son of the Xu family, Wei Fangzhi did not dare to think too much and explained truthfully:

"Miss, after the birthday of my god Baoguanshen, the first time I met the son of the Xu family was in the courtyard of Ruan Mama beside Panlou Street. That day, the sixth son of the Liang family. The son of Xu did not let me follow to help. He returned the silver before leaving."

"The second time was invited by the second son of the Gu family"

"The third time was after the New Year. My master was seriously ill. I wanted to ask for help, but the horse of the fifth son of the Xu family was too good."

"The fourth time was when I pawned my master's pipa and went to see my master. At the close servant of the fifth son of the Xu family, I met him. With your help, I was able to send my master to see a doctor. "

Chai Zhengzheng smiled and looked at Wei Fangzhi who was sitting on the embroidery cushion in front of him without looking up, and said: "Why did Xu Jia Wulang stand up for you the fourth time you mentioned?"

"My dear girl, in my humble opinion, the reason why the Xu family's noble servant stood up for you that day was because the coachman took advantage of his power and bullied others too much and blocked the passage. I think that if it was someone else, Xu Jia Wulang would still stand up for him."

Chai Zhengzheng: "Well, that makes sense! Look up and take off your veil!"

Wei Fangzhi bowed on the embroidery cushion and said: "Yes."

After speaking, Wei Fangzhi held the pipa in one hand and moved the other hand slightly, gently taking off the thin veil.

"Has the Fifth Brother of the Xu Family seen you?"

"No, young lady."

Chai Zhengzheng looked at the beauty in front of him and nodded, "She looks better than wearing a veil."

Wei Fangzhi lowered his eyebrows and said, "Thank you, thank you for the compliment, young lady."

"Have you always spoken in this voice?"

"Young lady, my throat was a little sore half a year ago, and it has been like this since then."

"Change your voice so that I can hear it."

"Yes."

After listening to Wei Fangzhi's other tones, Chai Zhengzheng nodded with satisfaction.

After a sound of papers flipping,

"Real name, Wei Fangzhi?"

Hearing this, Wei Fangzhi raised his head and looked at Chai Zhengzheng sitting behind the table in the candlelight in surprise.

I saw Chai Zhengzheng holding a few pieces of paper in his hand.

"Yes! It's my real name."

"A nice name!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Miss."

"Well! Whether it's intentional or not, since I've protected you twice, it's fate, so I can't let you stay in that mud pit any longer."

Wei Fangzhi blinked in confusion, looking at Chai Zhengzheng behind the table.

Chai Zhengzheng raised a few pieces of paper in his hand and said, "Your personal contract and family contract are here."

Hearing this, Wei Fangzhi hugged the pipa and nodded with a dull look. It's no wonder she reacted like this, because there was an unbelievable idea in her mind.

"From now on, you will play the pipa in the stationery shop under my name, and you still have to wear a veil."

After saying this, Wei Fangzhi lowered his head again, knowing that he was just daydreaming.

"I'll protect you. You just need to play the pipa and talk about poetry in the store. No one will force you to sell wine or use your beauty to please others. It's up to you to decide when to take off your veil and whether to let others see it."

"You can use your ability to make customers who come into the store spend money, or continue to listen to your music, or discuss poetry with you, or buy more items in the store. The profit will be counted as your contribution."

"When you pay back the money I spent, I will decide to release you from the officialdom."

When Wei Fangzhi heard the first few words of the noble lady, she was happy in her heart. When she heard the last sentence, she raised her head in surprise: "Remove from the officialdom?"

Chai Zhengzheng smiled and nodded.

Wei Fangzhi stood up from the embroidery cushion, bowed deeply and said, "Slave, thank you for your kindness, young lady."

Chai Zhengzheng handed the several deeds in his hand to Yunmu and kept them, shaking his head and said, "Don't thank me first."

Wei Fangzhi looked up at Chai Zhengzheng, lowered his head and said, "Slave, I understand! Once I leave this door, I will keep what happened tonight to myself."

Chai Zhengzheng said, "Well, Fu Yi!"

Fu Yi at the door opened the door and came in: "Young lady?"

"Take Miss Wei downstairs and see if there is anything to buy! Then take advantage of the reputation of the past two days to "Sound, send a few guards from Cangzhou to escort them, and go to the store tomorrow."

"If Miss Wei has any different opinions about the store, and wants to redecorate any store, please ask the craftsmen of the Li family after you have a look."

"Yes, Miss!"

"Miss Wei, this way."

Looking at Fu Yi who stretched out her arms to invite her, Wei Fangzhi first bowed, then bent down and put the pipa in her arms on the embroidered cushion beside her, then knelt on the thick carpet and kowtowed to Chai Zhengzheng behind the table.

"Go!"

Chai Zhengzheng's voice came.

Wei Fangzhi then stood up and walked out holding the pipa.

Wei Fangzhi had already guessed that the noble girl tonight was probably a girl from the Chai family.

The Chai family was a well-known wealthy family not only in Bianjing, but throughout the entire Zhou Dynasty. It was not a big deal to protect a little girl like her.

It’s not surprising that Wei Fang directly gave this gift. In fact, she had heard and seen too many things through her master, Mama Ruan and others.

Even if the Chai family spent 20,000 yuan, Wei Fangzhi estimated that it would take less than ten years for him to be able to pay off his citizenship while maintaining his innocence.

But if she enters Qiyun Tower under Mama Ruan, no matter how much she earns 50,000 yuan, the more she earns, the harder it will be for her to leave.

Even if he becomes the head of the line, he still has to sell wine and serve people with sex and skin.

If you contract any disease, it will be ruined for the rest of your life.

After tonight, I don’t know how comfortable my life will be with my back against the giant tree of the Chai family.

inside the house,

Looking up at the figure disappearing at the door,

I don’t know what I thought of,

Chai Zhengzheng exhaled comfortably and said with a smile:

"Yun Mu, please remember to leave a message for Zhang, Gu, Li, Lu Ming and the Rong family tomorrow! Make an appointment with some girls to come to our store to play in the future."

"Girl, are you stopping by to inspect the shop?"

"No, let's go listen to music!"

"yes!"

In the dead of night,

Yunmu, who was supposed to be sleeping in the maid's courtyard, was now standing at the door of the lord's concubine.

The cool night wind blew the lantern with the word "Chai" that Mammy was carrying swaying slightly.

Mrs. Chai stood behind the lantern and said, "Tell me everything about tonight."

Yunmu responded yes.

half an hour later

"How come I didn't ask you before I placed that woman?"

"No, it was the girl's own decision."

Mrs. Chai exhaled and said in a deep voice: "That's more or less the same. I didn't end up in my own yard in a daze, and I didn't make a loss-making business."

Yunmu: "Madam, the girl is very smart! Does that woman want someone to keep a closer eye on her? I'm afraid of what the girl says."

After Mrs. Chai pondered for a while, she said: "It doesn't matter too much. From what I heard from you and grandma, this woman is a sensible woman who knows that trouble comes from her mouth."

"And now in Bianjing City, Brother Jing is very popular. With my family's background, there is a little bit of gossip, so it doesn't matter!"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Go ahead."

In the darkness, the lanterns with scattered light returned to the main house.

The head of the Chai family who was on the bed looked at the lady who came back and said, "How is it?"

Mrs. Chai gave a brief summary.

The head of the Chai family said: "Let me tell you! How could our daughter let someone into her own yard!"

"Um!"

"That's what the official said."

royal palace

In the sleeping palace,

The emperor was wearing pajamas, pacing in the palace with his hands behind his back somewhat worriedly.

When the emperor looked up, he saw the queen looking at the post in her hand with a smile on her face.

The emperor forced out a smile, walked over and said:

"Hey, what is the Queen looking at? So happy?"

The queen stood up, smiled and handed the post in her hand to the emperor: "Your Majesty, there are some interesting things about Pan Lou today."

The emperor first glanced at the signature of the post and said: "Oh, the Wu family sent it to the palace."

After finishing speaking, he began to read the content of the post. After a while, the emperor also laughed and said: "I didn't realize it before, but Xu Zaijing is really stingy. He is like an iron rooster, never plucking a dime!"

"Huh? The eldest son of the Chai family ransomed someone?"

"Hiss! The children of the Qiao family, tsk, are going to be in trouble!"

The queen who walked to the bed smiled and nodded: "Look at me, this kid from the Qiao family hasn't experienced much, he's too childish."

The emperor closed the post, nodded with some melancholy in his eyes and said, "The queen is right! Hey, Fang'er will grow up in the palace. I wonder if he will be like this kid from the Qiao family in the future."

The Queen shook her head and said in a positive tone: "I see his intention to send the news to Brother Jing. It doesn't look like His Majesty is worried about it."

"makes sense."

The queen said softly: "Your Majesty, both Tuoxihou and Yongyihou are experienced generals in the battlefield. Don't worry too much."

Just as the emperor was about to say something, the voice of the chief minister came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, urgent report from the northwest."

When the emperor and empress heard this, they were both stunned.

Then the emperor walked near the door and took a note from the hand of the chief minister who walked in.

After a while,

"Ha ha!"

"Hahahaha! God is really helping me!"

The emperor turned around, looked at the queen who was looking at him with fear and concern, and said, "Come and see, good news!"

The queen breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the emperor. After taking the note, she quickly read it. The general meaning of the note was, 'The Marquis of Tuoxi attacked Youzhou. When there was an earthquake, the walls of Youzhou collapsed and the defenders suffered many casualties. , was captured by Tuo Xihou, and then took the opportunity to regain Yanzhou. ’

The queen was surprised: "Earthquake?!!"

The emperor nodded and smiled: "Yes! So, I say God helps me! The Baigao Kingdom defends a solid city of bricks and stones, but most of our Zhou soldiers live in tents! Okay! Okay!"

The queen said with a smile: "Congratulations, your majesty, congratulations to your majesty!"

The second day of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Yinshizhengji (four o'clock in the morning)

Yong Yihou Mansion,

In the racecourse, Xu Zaijing, who was waving a stainless steel spear, suddenly stopped what he was doing and listened.

"What's the sound? Good news?"

Hearing Xu Zaijing's words, Qingyun shook his head hesitantly and said: "I didn't hear clearly. I'll go to the door to have a look."

Xu Zaijing nodded.

Soon, Qingyun ran back with a smile.

"Sir, good news! The concierge said that the palace sent a good news. There was an earthquake in Baigao Country, and our Great Zhou conquered Youzhou and Yanzhou!"

Xu Zaijing was stunned, and his eyes turned and said: "Good! Good news! Go, tell the maids at the second gate, let mother be happy too!"

"Yes! Sir!"

At 2:00 a.m. (after 5:30 a.m.)

The sky had already begun to brighten.

On the streets of Bianjing,

there were various shouts of hawking, singing, and reporting time from time to time.

Xu Zaijing rode with his brother to the Sheng family.

On the way, as the imperial guards in the palace rode and shouted propaganda, from time to time, people who got up early could be heard talking about what happened in the northwest of the Great Zhou.

There were also other people who were called up and asked their neighbors what happened.

Before the Dragon Boat Festival, the Great Zhou had been attacking Baigao Country for dozens of days, and it was a continuous battle with continuous victory reports.

At this time of the Dragon Boat Festival, there was an earthquake, which was a sign that could affect the safety of the country and a warning from heaven. It happened to happen in the enemy's territory, helping the Great Zhou to capture two cities in a row.

This was not an earthquake, but a good omen for the people of the Great Zhou!

Xu Zaijing and his brother smiled as they entered the gate of the Sheng family.

When they arrived at the school, they saw Changbai still concentrating on the book in his hand.

Xu Zaijing walked up to Changbai and said, "Changbai, you can still read on?"

Changbai looked at Xu Zaijing in confusion and said, "Brother Jing, what's so hard to read?"

Zai Zhang said, "Changbai, you don't know that there was an earthquake in Baigao Country and Tuoxi Hou took two cities in a row!"

Changbai looked at the Xu brothers and nodded, saying, "I know! A servant just came to report it. Although it is something worth celebrating, it's not to the extent that I can't read the book!"

As he said, Changbai continued to look at the book in his hand and said, "If my Great Zhou conquered Xingqing Mansion in Baigao Country, then I might not be able to read on!"

Xu Zaijing bowed and said, "I admire you!"

Changbai bowed and returned the greeting with a smile on his face.

Before the hour of Mao,

others in the school slowly arrived.

Gu Tingye and Qi Heng were even more excited than Xu Zaijing. They couldn't concentrate on reading at all and talked a few words from time to time.

When it was almost noon,

When Zhuang Xuejiu walked to the front of the school leisurely with a folding fan, he looked at the chaos in the school and frowned.

When the people in the school saw Zhuang Xuejiu, they all restrained themselves.

Zhuang Xuejiu sat on the Luohan chair behind the table, looked at the excited people with a stern face and said: "What's going on with you today!"

Gu Tingye smiled and stood up and said: "Xuejiu, there was an earthquake in Baigao Country, and Tuoxi Hou took two cities in a row!"

Zhuang Xuejiu was stunned: "Erlang, what did you say?! Say it again!"

When Gu Tingye spoke again, Xuejiu looked at the others, Changbai, Xu Zaijing and others nodded.

Afterwards, Zhuang Xuejiu no longer had a stern face, smiled and knocked on the table with the folding fan in his hand and said: "Today! Take a day off!"

Gu Tingye bowed: "Xuejiu is wise!"
