Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

"Squeak~"

Two wooden doors on the street were opened from the inside.

The noisy noise on the street suddenly became louder and clearer, rushing towards me.

behind the door,

A woman with a good face and a slightly sallow complexion appeared, dressed as a well-to-do girl.

The clothes on the woman's waist and hips were made of good material, which highlighted her beautiful figure.

Looking at the carved carriage horses passing by on the street not far from the door,

The embroidered shoes that were about to cross the threshold were put back under the woman's skirt.

"squeaky"

The hands on the wooden door closed the wide open wooden door.

The woman only left a gap the size of her palm and looked out.

Looking back along the carriage and horse,

When she saw an unusually handsome horse, the woman's eyes widened!

Then she put down her hands on the wooden door, quickly touched her temples, and smoothed her clothes.

Eyes blinked,

The corners of his mouth pursed,

There were several shy expressions simulated on her cheeks,

After taking a few deep breaths

The woman then opened the wooden door delicately and gently, and looked out affectionately.

on the street,

Rongxian held the rein in one hand and rode on the horse,

He seemed to be looking around boredly,

In fact, he was rising and falling with the horse's back, secretly rubbing his waist with the hand holding the riding crop.

As Rongxian glanced around, he saw the slowly opening wooden door.

And the woman behind the wooden door,

"hiss!"

Rongxian took a breath,

The waist suddenly straightened up,

Such a riding posture makes Rong Xian, who has a handsome face, look like a noble son.

Yes. Although her face looks a bit overindulgent.

Seeing the way the woman behind the door glanced at him secretly from time to time,

Rong Xian nodded slightly and glanced back.

The servant of the Rong family who followed behind nodded cleverly, indicating that he should note this down.

‘Yameni, next time you want to hit someone, remember to call me kid~’

A faint voice came from behind,

"Master!"

The Rong family servant exclaimed.

It turned out that Rongxian, who was rubbing his waist and looking at the woman, accidentally felt his waist and legs go weak and almost fell off his horse.

Rongxian looked back at Xu Zaijing, who was grabbing his clothes, and smiled: "Thank you, Brother Jing!"

After sitting upright on the horse, Rongxian lowered his head and looked to one side and said, "Huh~ These silver stirrups are too slippery!"

Rongxian turned back to his servant and said, "When I go back, I will punish the man who bought the stirrups. He almost killed me!"

"Yes, sir!"

The servant behind him quickly adjusted his expression and held his hand in response.

Rongxian hummed.

The crowd walked for a while,

The streets began to become clearer,

Rong Xian looked around and said, "Brother Jing, it looks like we've arrived at Chunmingfang. Brother Jiong's yard is not far from Duke Anguo's mansion?"

"right!"

When Xu Zaijing spoke, he did not look sideways at Rong Xian, but looked at the street intersection in front, where there were several capable young men on horseback.

Rong Xian followed Xu Zaijing's gaze and said to himself: "I think this group of people looks very average!"

"Hmm! Not as tall and strong as a few of my servants!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Rong family servant behind him puffed out his chest and belly.

Rong Xian saw those capable young men bowing their hands to Zai Duan who was walking in front.

"Hiss! Brother Xu knows them?"

Xu Zaijing on the side scratched his eyebrows and said: "Yes, they are some brave lieutenants from the Northwest Army."

The servants of the Rong family who were following behind heard this and quickly shrank back. They could not compare to the fighting men who could gain military exploits from the northwest.

The carriage of the Xu family's female family members did not stop and drove directly towards Hu Yanjiong's yard.

Zai Duan and Zai Zhang stopped at the street corner and waited for Xu Zaijing to follow them.

The Lieutenant Colonel of the Northwest Army in front of them looked around at Xu Zaijing's horse and the colt trotting behind the carriage.

Come to the crowd,

The capable young people handed over their hands one after another:

"Goro!"

"Brother Jing!"

Those who know Rongxian will also call him Erlang.

Xu Zaijing pointed to Lu Junyi, Wu Song and others and introduced them to Rongxian.

Rong Xian smiled and held his hands aside, bumping fists with someone from time to time. After bumping around, Rong Xian's palms actually started to sweat a little.

Xu Zaijing smiled and talked to a fair-skinned young man:

"Zhang Shun, why are you here by yourself? Zhang Heng is on duty in the northwest?"

The fair-skinned young man Zhang Shun cupped his hands and said, "Hui Wulang, my younger brother."

As he spoke, Zhang Shun shook his head with a sad look on his face.

Xu Zaijing was stunned, and the young man he had seen by Jinming Pond flashed through his mind.

"Why not?"

"Hui Wulang, when the Marquis attacked the land of Houqu, my brother fell into the water at night and was stabbed by a rusty knife. These days, a villain shouldn't say this!"

Zhang Shun quickly handed over his hands and confessed.

Xu Zaijing shook his head: "For the great Zhou Dynasty, for the Huyan family, what shouldn't be said?"

Zhang Shun bowed deeper and deeper.

Xu Zaijing patted Zhang Shun's arm.

Seeing the somewhat gloomy atmosphere on Xu Zaijing's side, Rong Xian leaned over and said, "Are you the Langli Baitiao Zhangshun that Liang Liulang said?"

"Back to Yameni, it's the villain!"

"You also want to return to the Northwest Army?"

"The villain is following Shishiro."

Rong Xian shook his head regretfully: "What a pity! Liang Liulang said that if you guys were here, he would be able to defeat all the invincible opponents in Bianjing when he opened Jinmingchi!"

"Rokuro is too flattering!"

Xu Zaijing shook his head at the side: "What Liu Lang said is true, let's go!"

Everyone rode horses to the door of Hu Yanjiong's house.

Xu Zaijing leaned on his horse's back and looked around along the way. The number of carriages and horses today was much greater than when Anmei was producing.

But the horses and carriages parked along the way are mostly beautifully decorated.

Some horses have flowers on their heads;

Some carriages are embroidered with cute raccoon slave patterns.

It doesn't look like it's a ride for the mistress.

Rongxian followed Xu Zaijing and said a few words to Lu Junyi from time to time.

"Lao Dudu School Zhou is your master? Then our relationship is good."

Rongxian did not continue, looking at a large and gorgeous carriage on the side of the road.

Lu Junyi looked at him in confusion: "Brother Xian? What's wrong?"

Rong Xian's throat moved slightly, and his eyes looked expectantly at Xu Zaijing in front of him.

in front of the gate,

Hu Yanjiong, who looked happy, stood there with his two brothers from the fifth room.

Xu Zaijing waited for such a group of people to come over.

Walking in the streets is very impressive

After Zai Duan, who was at the front, dismounted, Hu Yanjiong and the other three smiled and walked closer.

"Eldest brother, third brother, brother Jing, why are you here?"

After everyone talked, they entered the courtyard.

In the backyard of Huyan’s house,

There are five rooms in the main room.

The wooden partitions in each room have been removed by servants.

You can see the west wall from the east wall,

This makes the main hall look extra large.

At this time, the hall was shining with fragrant clothes and hairpins, and there were already many female family members sitting on the chairs and embroidered piers.

Take a quick look,

But there are more girls with bangs on their foreheads and hair hanging down the back of their necks.

There are not many women who have their hair pulled up at the front and back.

The location near the east side of the main house,

Mrs. Xu Hou’s wife, Mrs. Sun, held her grandson in her arms.

On both sides stood Ping Mei and her two daughters-in-law.

"Mom, please let me hug him!"

Pingmei smiled and stretched out her hand.

Mrs. Sun looked at her infant grandson and handed her to Pingmei with some reluctance.

Pingmei skillfully picked up her nephew and watched with Xie and Hualan.

Mrs. Sun walked aside and sat down. She smiled with Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Bai on both sides. She leaned over and said to Mrs. Pan, "My mother-in-law, where did Anmei go?"

As he spoke, he looked around.

Mrs. Pan smiled and shook her head: "Several of An'er's close sisters from Jingzhong came here. Somehow they mentioned a mouthful of peony and jade carvings, and they all went to her room to look at things."

Mrs. Sun had some helplessness on her face: "She is already a mother, why is she still so childish! I just asked the maid to get it, how can I go to her room?"

Mrs. Pan and Mrs. Bai and Wu smiled: "You are so childish. With An'er here, the three of us feel much younger!"

On one side, Anmei's two sisters-in-law smiled and nodded.

He glanced at the girls who were talking in the hall,

Mrs. Wu took advantage of her conversation to look at the three girls in the distance on the west side of the house and said, "Those three children look familiar to each other. Which family are they from?"

All the ladies present looked over, but no one spoke.

Ni Qiqiu, who was still sitting not far from Sun, leaned forward with a smile: "Madam, the two are my official Paoze's sisters, and the one on the far side is the girl from my natal Ni family."

Mrs. Wu looked at the three girls and nodded with a smile: "Then they are all Lieutenant Colonels of the Forbidden Army! Have they ever been betrothed to someone else?"

"Nothing!"

The lintel where Mrs. Wu was looking at was a bit high, so Ni Qiqiu couldn't tell that he asked Mrs. Wu to help find it.

"Okay!" Mrs. Wu nodded with some calculation in her eyes.

Sensing the sight of the ladies,

The little girl from the Ni family turned her back a little uncomfortably.

The girl from the Jin family next to her pretended that nothing happened and continued talking: "The ladies over there are looking over here, aren't they trying to pick a daughter-in-law?"

The Jin family girl's brother-in-law is Zhu Qinghu's Paoze, and he has a relative who is a concubine in the Kang family.

The little girl from the Ni family turned away and shook her head: "No, you have also seen the style of the Lord's girl just now."

Hearing this,

The other two people looked at each other, and the girl from the Jin family said: "But your sister has directly become the viscount's wife!"

"Those here are different from my brother-in-law's family. They will only choose their daughter-in-law among the girls just now."

The girl from the Jin family thought about what she had just seen, and sighed in resignation: "I have heard that the girls from the Rong family are very beautiful before. I am actually not convinced, but after seeing her today."

The girl from the Ni family said: "I think the girl from the Chai family is more beautiful. Her chin is not raised as high as the girl from the Rong family."

The nameless girl nodded in agreement.

The outside room of Anmei's bedroom,

There is an exquisite wooden box on the table.

Chai Zhengzheng and Rong Feiyan sat aside,

Zhang Jiawu Niang and Gu Tingyi sat on the other side,

The one in the middle is Zheng Ni.

There is an exquisite peony jade carving in the wooden box, which was the prize that Hu Yanjiong won in Jinmingchi.

The five ladies here have seen all kinds of exquisite jade carvings, but this one is of great significance.

An Mei, who has become a little fatter, habitually stands aside with her waist raised.

Looking at the five people: "Have you seen enough? I'm going to put it away!"

"Sister Anmei, wait a moment!"

Zhang Jiawu Niang said.

Then Wu Niang touched the jade carving with her hand, closed her eyes and muttered something in her mouth.

Gu Tingyi leaned close to Zheng Ni's ear and said in a voice that everyone could hear: "Is Wu Niang praying to be your little aunt?"

The fifth lady of the Zhang family opened her eyes bitterly and glared at Gu Tingyi in shame.

Chai Zhengzheng and Rong Feiyan on the side laughed.

As soon as their smiling eyes met, they looked away.

But Rong Feiyan didn't know why, but her eyes fell on An Mei's chest.

After looking at it twice,

Rong Feiyan pursed her lips,

He quickly glanced in the direction of Chai Zhengzheng.

After Wu Niang finishes her work,

An Mei put away the wooden box and asked Zheng Ni, "By the way, how is Brother Shen's recovery going?"

Everyone looked at Zheng Ni one after another.

Zheng Ni smiled and said a little shyly: "It's said that he can already walk on the ground."

"What about the wedding date? Has it been set?"

"Well, this March!"

Ask the maid Ye'er to put the wooden box back into the bedroom,

An Mei thought for a while: "I can go out then, so I can join in the fun!"

"Let's go see other good things!"

All the ladies around the table looked puzzled.

"Go and see the congratulatory gifts from my parents' family."

"Sister Anmei, the gift is either gold or jade, or fur and ginseng. What's good to see?" Zhang Jiawu's mother said, lying on the table bored.

The other four girls didn't say anything, but they all had the same meaning.

"That's not what my little brother sent. I had people transport it to the entrance of this courtyard!" An Mei said with a smile.

"Brother Xu Wu gave it to me?! Then I must go and take a look!"

The fifth lady of the Zhang family sat up straight as she spoke.

Gu Tingyi rolled his eyes and seemed to have a guess.

Chai Zhengzheng and Rong Feiyan began to tidy up their clothes.

Go out of the house,

In less than a quarter of an hour,

There is nothing at the entrance of Anmei Courtyard

Everyone: "."

Wu Niang stood next to An Mei and said, "Sister An Mei, Brother Xu Wu gave this."

An Mei turned to Ye'er and said, "Go, send someone to ask what's going on."

Before I finished speaking,

"Green grass?! Why are you here!"

Gu Tingyi asked in surprise.

An Mei turned around and saw Qing Cao leading a black pony, with the mother in charge who was sent to lead the horse beside her.

The mother in charge walked a few steps quickly, bowed at the door and said, "Madam, this little pony has a fierce temper, and I can't handle it. I'm afraid of hurting it, so I can only go find Wu Lang, which will take a while."

An Mei waved her hand to indicate it was okay.

Wait for the men and horses to come near,

The green grass first gave a blessing,

The girls didn't move, and the female envoys behind them returned the favor.

Several noble ladies looked at the pony with lively eyes, whose shoulders were as high as the chest and belly of the grass, and they all showed a look of love in their eyes.

"Qingcao, are these the descendants of Brother Xu Wu's two Northern Liao dragon horses?"

Zhang Jiawu Niang asked excitedly.

After Qingcao smiled and nodded, he comforted the agitated foal.

Chai Zhengzheng looked at Qingcao, with a touch of warmth in his eyes, and said softly: "Qingcao, can this foal be separated from the mare?"

"Miss Zhengzheng, it will take another month to come back. The young master said that he wanted to bring it to the fourth aunt and the eldest lady first."

Qingcao finished speaking,

An Mei happily took two steps towards the foal, which made the foal retreat in fright.

Qingcao hurriedly comforted him again.

At this time, a female envoy from the Huyan family came over:

"Madam, Madam said the banquet is about to start, so she wants you to go to the main room quickly."

"Go right away. Qingcao, follow her back!"

"Yes, Fourth Girl."

An Mei smiled and led the girls towards the main room.

The envoys followed.

Ningxiang, the female servant next to Rong Feiyan, waited for the girls to leave first. She glanced at Qingcao and said with a smile, "Miss Qingcao, did my young master come with Wulang?"

Qingcao nodded in agreement.

In the backyard of Duke Anguo's mansion,

Four-bedroom courtyard,

study

Sitting in front of the desk, listening to the sound of firecrackers outside, Mrs. Qin, the Fourth Fangxian, glanced at her daughter in her arms.

"Mom, why are we setting off firecrackers outside?"

Mrs. Qin smiled slightly: "The banquet of the Huyan family not far away has begun."

"Oh mother, I still don't know many words in the book I found from my mother."

"Don't be in a hurry, take your time, and be patient in everything you do!"

"Um!"

The little girl nodded heavily.

"Back to mom."

The voice of the maid came from outside the study.

Xiang Mom entered the study,

Mrs. Qin put her daughter on the ground and said, "Let's play with the envoy!"

There are only two masters and servants in the study room.

"How did things go?"

"Girl, the Yin family has taken over the things, using the old name of the Yin family outside Beijing."

Mrs. Qin gave a gratified sigh, then looked at her mother and said, "Is there anything else?"

"Yes, the Jingming Street Marquis Mansion wants you to talk to the Lord. Since Bai Gaoneng was recaptured by our Great Zhou in less than a year, now Great Zhou doesn't need to be afraid of Beiliao at all!"

"If there is any dispute in the court, please let the Lord stand on the side that supports the war!"

Hearing this,

Mrs. Qin's eyes flashed with disdain: "Huh! What a good calculation!"

"Girl! If the Hou Mansion can get better and have a good natal family, it will be no harm to you." Xiang's mother advised her.
