Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

Chapter 394 Wang: "Hey~~" [Thank you! Goodbye! I owe an update of the 2,000-word version]

"Dong dong dong"

"Silk Thread Bronze Mirror Embroidery Needle~"

"Dust rouge pearl powder~"

The hawker came to Shu Bo's stall carrying a load and shaking a rattle.

After putting down the load, the salesman walked to the basin nearby and washed his hands:

"Lao Shu, give me some. Tsk, every time I take care of your business, why do I always feel like I'm being taken advantage of!"

Chu Zhan, who was serving the dishes on the side, laughed when he heard this: "Next time you come here, call me Xiaochu, and I will not take advantage of you. Or stir-fried chicken and rabbit?"

"Yes! Add some meat~"

"Okay~"

Chu Zhan responded with a smile.

Shu Bo, who was cooking, turned his head and glanced at the salesman: "Hey, you must have made a lot of money today. Are you willing to eat extra vegetables?"

The salesman took off the towel on his shoulder and wiped his hands and said: "I'm lucky, there was a waiter taking care of the business just now. I heard a horseman on the street shouting about Bai Gao lowering. Before I could change the money, the waiter chased after me and asked."

Shu Bo curled his lips and said, "So you just gave the money away?"

The salesman glared: "Am I that kind of person? I shouted for change, but the clerk said he was in a good mood and didn't want any more!"

Suddenly,

Shu Bo, who was adding salt to the dishes, stopped his hand in mid-air: "No, what did you say just now?"

"The officer was in a good mood and threw me a piece of silver without giving me any change."

"The previous sentence~"

"Someone on horseback yelled that Bai Gaojiang is coming down, so the officer chased after him and asked!"

Looking at Shu Bo walking over with salt in his hands, and Chu Zhan looking directly at him, the salesman said, "What's wrong?"

"Bai Gaojiang?"

"It's down! I heard it really true on the street."

At this time,

Several idle men from Bianjing walked over quickly in a group.

He glanced at the salesman at the stall, then smiled and held his hands towards Chu Zhan: "Brother Chu, Master Shu! The little ones heard the great news on the street!"

Everyone was talking at the stall,

"Xu~"

A carriage passed by the stall and stopped at the Xu family gate not far away.

Chu Zhan took a look and said, "The Sun family's carriage."

after awhile,

The internal officials, who were protected by the palace's golden-armored guards, also dismounted.

He walked into the Xu family gate with a smile on his face.

Xu’s backyard,

"Collapse~"

Cui Chan, the escort girl from the Sheng family, held a thick winter coat, glanced at the source of the sound and said, "Girl, who is having a happy event here! Why are they setting off fireworks when it's so bright!"

Hua Lan, who was walking in front, looked away, smiled and said, "Maybe the child at home is naughty."

After saying that, the master and servant continued to walk forward.

Entering the mistress’s courtyard,

Hua Lan lowered her head and walked through the bamboo curtain opened by the female envoy and entered the hall.

After nodding to his pregnant sister-in-law Xie, Hua Lan said: "Mother-in-law, will our family have to send things to the northwest in a few days? My daughter-in-law made three more brocade jackets for my father, eldest brother and Xiao Wu. One for each person, there is something that can be replaced even in this winter.”

Sun sat on the Arhat chair, smiled at Hua Lan, motioned Hua Lan to sit down, and then continued to look at the wooden box held by the female envoy in front of her.

Hualan sat on the chair next to Mrs. Sun and sniffed the smell in the air: "Mother-in-law, what's in the wooden box? Why does it smell so good?"

Mrs. Sun took out two dark things from the wooden box and handed them to Dan's mother.

Dan's mother smiled and brought it to Hua Lan.

Sun said: "This is beef jerky made by my mother's family. Jing'er has liked to eat it since he was a child. When he went there before, the jerky was not dried well. This time it will be sent to him as well."

Hua Lan and Xie were together, and their eyes lit up after smelling it.

Mrs. Xie said: "Mother-in-law, you are too partial. I have been your wife for so many years and I have never tasted this dried meat."

Mrs. Sun took the handkerchief handed by the female envoy and wiped her hands, and said with a smile: "Jing'er made it to him before when he went to the palace to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday, and you, the official, have never tasted it a few times. "

Mrs. Xie glanced at Hua Lan, who was also immersed in the delicious food, and said, "Mother-in-law, how about we make more every year from now on? Brother, brother, they can also try it."

Hua Lan nodded: "Mother-in-law, the two daughters-in-law can also benefit from it!"

Mrs. Sun smiled and nodded at the two sisters, "You two are not afraid of others saying you are greedy."

Xie and Hua Lan looked at each other and smiled.

Then the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said a few more words about the fireworks exploding just now.

"Madam, relatives from the Sun family are here."

There is a little female messenger who preaches.

Sun smiled: "Please come quickly."

"Probably I want to take things to the north."

Xie and Hua Lan nodded, and Xie reached out to let the female servant beside her help her stand up.

Normally, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is fine, but when relatives from the Sun family come, they can't be presumptuous.

After a while,

Two aunts from the Sun family came in.

Xie and Hua Lan, who stood up slightly to salute, nodded and said, "Shi Niang, I just heard at home that Bai Gao has surrendered! Father and mother sent us to ask."

"Ah? Sister-in-law, what did you say?"

asked Sun, who walked to the door to greet him.

Hua Lan and Xie looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

"Madam, the palace official is here! He said he brought His Majesty's oral instructions. You don't need to change your clothes. Just go over and listen."

There was another call from the little maid outside the door.

Hearing this, everyone in the hall felt tense.

Ms. Sun glanced at her natal sister-in-law and said, "It's probably true. Come on, let's go there quickly."

After saying that, Mrs. Sun just took two steps, then turned back and said: "Dalang's family, please slow down!"

"I know, mother-in-law!"

After saying that,

Mrs. Sun led everyone towards the front hall where guests were entertained.

"Master Huaibao, I have kept you waiting for a long time!"

As soon as they entered the hall, Sun said with a smile.

The internal official who was sitting in the hall drinking tea quickly stood up and said, "What are you talking about, madam!"

Seeing Mrs. Sun, her sister-in-law, and daughter-in-law salute him, the internal official Huaibao quickly bowed and returned the salute and said: "As soon as your Majesty got the news, he sent a minister to deliver a message to the Marquis Mansion."

After saying that, Huaibao coughed lightly.

Mrs. Sun, her sister-in-law, and Hualan hurriedly bowed to listen.

"Your Majesty said that I am very relieved that Marquis Yongyi has won a great victory in the north and Bai Gao surrendered the city. I will ask the Xu family to come to the palace for dinner tomorrow."

"Madam, this is your Majesty's decree."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Mrs. Sun led everyone in bowing and said in unison.

"Ma'am, please get up quickly."

Mrs. Sun nodded and stretched her hand back. Hualan put a purse in Sun's hand, covered by her wide sleeves.

"Thank you, Mr. Huaibao, for working so hard. Please take a seat!"

Huaibao smiled and sat back in his chair.

"Lord Huaibao, I have a question, how could this happen so quickly? There was a great victory at Keyimen two days ago."

After listening to Sun's words, Huaibao smiled and said, "Madam, let's not talk about you. When I came out of the palace, I saw the great ministers entering the inner court, and they also looked puzzled!"

"But I am lucky enough to have read the urgent report! It said that Your Majesty is wise and mighty! We have returned to the destiny of the Great Zhou Dynasty! The Bai Gao Kingdom went against the will of heaven, but suffered retribution. The ground shook in the past two days! The city walls and moats were broken!"

"The Puppet Emperor Bai Gao is also aware of current affairs, so he will surrender now!"

After hearing this, Sun and others all looked extremely happy.

Then, Mrs. Sun was stunned and was about to continue asking.

The internal official Huaibao said quickly: "Madam, please don't worry. I didn't see any other news in the emergency report. The Marquis and the Crown Prince must be fine!"

Mrs. Sun nodded: "Thank you, the official, for clearing up the confusion!"

Huaibao smiled and said, "Okay, madam, I'll take my leave now!"

Afterwards, everyone walked outside while talking.

Before reaching the gate, Sun said: "Master Huaibao, thank you for your hard work!"

As he spoke, he handed the purse in his wide sleeves towards Huaibao.

Huaibao was stunned and quickly declined: "Madam, my adoptive father gave instructions to me when I came here. I don't dare to ask for my thanks from my wife."

Sun shook his head and said: "This is not a thank you, it is just a celebration of such a great victory in the Great Zhou Dynasty! Sir, take it!"

Huaibao shook his head repeatedly: "Madam, if Brother Jing hadn't acted righteously at the Shenbao Temple outside the city, I would probably have lost my job! There is such a happy event in the Hou Mansion today, how can I still want to thank you!"

Sun said: "Then this is to help the Hou Mansion save some happiness and good fortune! My lord, please take it."

"Madam, that's what you said! Well, the minister shamelessly accepted it!"

When Ms. Sun stood at the gate and watched the imperial officer Huaibao and the golden-armored guards leave, Hua Lan behind her said softly: "Mother-in-law, those golden-armored guards also gave me enough reward."

Mrs. Sun continued to watch Huaibao and his party, and nodded without looking back.

"Madam, is the news true?"

Shu Bo, who no longer cooks, went to the gate with many old friends of the Hou Mansion and asked.

Seeing Mr. Sun nodding in affirmation, Shu Bo looked at the others with joy on his face.

After bowing again and handing over his hands, Shu Bo turned towards his stall and shouted: "Today's meal will be given away for free!"

“It’s free from my stall!”

These words came,

There were loud congratulations and thanks all around.

When Mrs. Sun walked from the gate towards the inner courtyard,

Hua Lan, who was following her, quickly supported Sun with quick eyes and hands: "Mother-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

Mother Bamboo on the other side was not slow in her movements: "Madam??"

Sun was supported by two people and waved her hands: "It's okay, I just feel dizzy and chest tight."

Hua Lan said anxiously: "Quickly, please ask Dr. Ren to come over!"

Sun quickly said: "No, I'm probably too happy, just slow down a bit!"

Back to the inner courtyard,

Doctor Ren, who was taking care of Xie in the Xu family, was talking to Hualan after diagnosing Sun's pulse.

Just now, Mrs. Xie was fine when she heard about the victory, but her mother-in-law, Mrs. Sun, softened, causing her mood to fluctuate, and she was also resting at this time.

"Madam, Madam, the steward of Duke Lian's Mansion is here."

The little girl from Sun's courtyard preached the gospel again.

Hua Lan knew that nothing happened to her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, so she exclaimed, "Wait a minute, I'll go see you!"

Arriving at the front yard,

Across the screen,

Hua Lan said to the steward of the Lu family, "Don't be surprised, steward. My mother-in-law and eldest sister-in-law were in a bit of a mood swing when they heard the good news. At this time, I had no choice but to step forward."

The steward outside the screen bowed and replied: "What are you talking about, madam! The Duke and his wife were a little unable to react to such a shocking news! When the little one left, the Duke was about to drink and celebrate. !”

"Before the great victory at Keyimen, there were not enough fireworks in Bianjing City to sell, so why don't we send some people here to deliver some to my family?"

After another round of greetings,

The steward of the Lu family left the Xu family with a return gift.

Huyan family,

Inner courtyard,

Anmei sat on the chair leaning against the soft cushions.

The female maid Ye'er on the side is taking care of things.

Ye'er stroked a piece of material and said, "Madam, the girls from several princes came to our house to play in the past two days. This gift is really good. It's soft to the touch."

Ye'er said and handed the ingredients to An Mei's hand.

An Mei, who is slightly younger than Xie, touched it and nodded: "Did Ting Yi bring this here for my eldest sister?"

Ye'er shook his head and said, "Isn't the piece that the elder girl asked Miss Tingyi to bring already cut and ready to be used for swaddling clothes? The color looks like it was given by the girl from the Rong family."

An Mei, who was sitting on the chair, had a smile in her eyes. She stroked the material with her palms and said, "She is interested! Put it away and make clothes when the baby in her belly gets bigger."

After Ye'er ordered the little envoy to place them properly, she continued to sort them out.

While sorting it out, he said: "Madam, I have been out shopping these days, and there are rumors in Beijing that the girls from the Rong family are very arrogant and like to look at others with their heads down, and they are very difficult to deal with!"

"My servants are all spreading rumors. Miss Feiyan is very talkative when she is a guest in our house. Maybe someone is jealous of Miss Feiyan's appearance."

An Mei glanced at the beautiful white jade displayed in the room and said, "Maybe some family has hit a wall in front of Concubine Rong."

Ye'er thought for a moment and then nodded: "It's true!"

Looking around, Ye'er whispered again: "Madam, Miss Feiyan has changed a lot in the past two years, and she has become more and more provocative. Have you ever entered the palace, who is more beautiful, Miss Feiyan or Concubine Rong? ah?"

An Mei pondered for a while and then said: "It must be Concubine Rong. Miss Feiyan is too young, and she always lacks some temperament."

"Speaking of which, the scarf given by Miss Zhengzheng of the Chai family is good. It looks about the same quality as the fifth young master's cloak."

An Mei took a look and said, "Well, speaking of it, Miss Zhengzheng's gift is a bit heavy."

Ye'er said: "The Chai family has been a very wealthy family since the founding of the country. Is this too serious?"

An Mei nodded: "In the next few days, I will ask my mother-in-law and aunt Bai's family to find some of similar value and send them back when possible."

"Collapse~"

"Dong~"

Listening to the sound of fireworks exploding outside, An Mei looked outside in confusion: "Fireworks are set off again. Is this another good news?"

Just finished speaking,

Mrs. Pan's voice came from outside the house: "An'er!"

After entering the hall,

Mrs. Pan looked at Anmei, the more she looked at her, the more she liked her. ,

First, Anmei entered the Huyan family and did not act willfully just because her mother's family was powerful.

Secondly, Mrs. Pan asked someone to look at her before, and they concluded that Anmei must be a brother just because of the shape of her belly and the way she walks.

Even if she is a girl, Mrs. Pan is happy.

What's more important is that it has only been a few days since the in-laws Yong Yihou made great achievements in the north, and today there is such good news again.

The future of my officials and sons, as well as the wealth of my natal Pan family, are guaranteed in the future.

Mrs. Pan did not directly tell An Mei the exact news, but said, "An Mei, guess what good news it is!"

"Did Marquis Tuoxi win a great victory?"

Mrs. Pan shook her head: "Guess again!"

"Did Marquis Tuo Xi capture Lingzhou?"

"Be bolder!"

"Um"

Anmei looked at Ye'er, which made Ye'er puzzled.

After pondering for a while, An Mei said uncertainly: "Mother-in-law, my Xiaowu couldn't have killed some general of Bai Gao Kingdom with one shot, right?"

Seeing her mother-in-law still shaking her head, Anmei gave up: "I didn't expect it."

After listening to Mrs. Pan’s words,

An Mei scratched her nose and said, "Why is Xiaowu silent this time?"

Jiying Lane,

Sheng family,

In the book school,

Several explosions of fireworks caused Xuexue Zhuang, who was sitting behind the desk, to look outside.

The boy who was carrying Zhang quickly ran to the front of the school, bowed to Zhuang Xuejun and said: "Xuetuo, we have great news!"

Zhuang Xuexue smiled and said, "What good news is there?"

"Bai Gaojiang!"

"Zhiyo——"

There was a sound of friction between the table legs and the ground.

The solid wood desk in front of the scholar moved forward by more than half an inch.

Noisy sounds came from the school one after another.

Gu Tingye, Chang Bai, Zai Zhang and others stood up one after another.

Zhuang Xuexue said loudly: "What did you say!"

Changbai walked a few steps quickly, left the school, came to young boy Zai Zhang, grabbed his shoulders and said, "Are you serious?"

"Pedant, brothers, you are so humble! Listen, the sound of fireworks is to celebrate this!"

Shouantang,

Wang Ruofu was talking to the old lady about the promotion of his natal brother with a smile on his face.

"Mom, the matter is settled this time!"

"My natal sister-in-law, the Feng family, even sent someone to tell me that the Cao family also played a role in this matter."

The old lady smiled and nodded.

Cui Ruan Cui's mother walked in hurriedly,

After giving a salute, Fu said: "Old madam, eldest lady, the great news comes from the front yard! The Bai Gao Kingdom in the northwest has surrendered!"

The old lady's eyebrows trembled and she frowned: "What! How is this possible!"

The old lady is also a girl who grew up in a martial arts family, and she still knows something about battle formations.

Cui Ruan's mother Cui said: "Are there people spreading rumors outside? These fireworks and firecrackers should not be fake."

Wang Ruofu was stunned for a moment while listening.

"It seems like it's true!"

After the old lady finished speaking, Wang Ruofu on the side said: "Mother, the Marquis has conquered the land of Houqu before, and then he has done such a great job of destroying the country. Will this title be promoted?"

The old lady said: "It is possible, but Marquis Tuoxi will definitely be promoted to Duke."

"Mother, then our Hua'er may be the daughter-in-law of the Duke."

The old lady hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Wang Ruofu grinned, her eyes full of longing, and her breathing quickened a little!

Then she slid down from the chair softly.

"Madam!"

Mother Liu shouted anxiously.
