Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

Noon 3:45 (after 11:30 am)

Sheng Family

Shou'an Hall

The main hall with banquets was filled with laughter.

Old Lady Wang sat next to Old Lady Sheng, smiling at Wei Shuyi standing by her side and said, "Your foolish mistress has made some mistakes in her family affairs, so you will have to worry about her these days."

Hualan sat by her side, holding Xu Xingzhong, looking at Wei Shuyi with expectation in her eyes.

Wei Shuyi held the wine pot in both hands, bowed his head and saluted: "Old lady, you are too kind! It is my duty to share the worries of the eldest lady."

Old lady Wang smiled and nodded, turned to look at old lady Sheng and said: "Old sister, I have been here for so long, why haven't I seen your grandson?"

Old lady Sheng smiled back: "He is copying calligraphy now!"

Hearing the old lady's words, Feng's eyes lit up, and she looked at Wei Shuyi for questioning, saying: "How old is the child, and he can be patient enough to copy calligraphy?"

Wei Shuyi smiled and said: "It is because the eldest lady has taught her children well. Brother Zhang often sees his brother Changbai studying hard, so he follows suit."

"Oh!"

Feng nodded in approval. She has been optimistic about Changbai's eldest nephew since he was a child.

If this Sheng family's brother Zhang can still maintain such a studious attitude in the future, with the situation of the Sheng family, he will have a promising future.

Hualan lowered her head and whispered to her son in her arms: "Look at your uncle."

Xu Xingzhong twisted and turned in Hualan's arms and said: "Mother, why hasn't Dad come yet?"

Feng smiled and said: "Hualan, does your boy listen to his father?"

Hualan shook her head: "The master really treats this boy as if he is holding him in his mouth for fear of melting, and holding him in his palm for fear of dropping him. He is very spoiled!"

Feng said: "What about the other people in the family?"

"He was a little afraid when his grandfather just returned to the mansion for a few days. After getting familiar with him, he became more lawless."

Hualan smiled and said: "Only his uncle and brother can control him."

The others who heard these words also smiled. Feng thought for a while and said: "I thought Xu Jia Wulang was a very smiling child before, but Zhong Ge'er is afraid of him?"

"Who would have known that? He was like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw his uncle."

"How can you say that to a child!" Wang Ruofu glared at Hualan unhappily, then stood up and took her grandson into her arms.

Sheng Hong, who was beside Wang Ruofu, looked at Xu Xingzhong with a stern face at first,

but when Xu Xingzhong reached out to Sheng Hong for a hug in Wang Ruofu's arms,

Sheng Hong looked at Wang Ruofu's jealous expression and couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

After taking his grandson into his arms, Sheng Hong smiled and said, "After dinner, grandpa will take you to see the brush given to grandpa by the current emperor, okay?"

"Father, how old is he? Good things will be ruined in his hands! Let's talk about it after he is enlightened!"

Hua Lan said on the side.

Sheng Hong smiled and said nothing.

After a moment of silence,

there was a chattering sound outside the house.

Old lady Wang smiled and said, "The children are out of school."

Old lady Sheng smiled and nodded.

The curtain covering the door was lifted,

Zai Zhang led Chang Bai, Xu Zaijing and others into the house.

Looking at the people sitting in the room,

Zai Zhang bowed and saluted: "Greetings, elders."

The people behind him did the same thing.

When Hua Lan and Zai Zhang got married in Bian Jing, the Wang family was still thousands of miles away in Runzhou. Old Lady Wang was old and only sent gifts but did not attend the wedding.

Today was the first time she met this grandson-in-law.

"Zhang'er, come closer, let me see you!"

Old Lady Wang smiled kindly at Zai Zhang.

When Zai Zhang came to her side and called her grandmother, Old Lady Wang held Zai Zhang's hand, looked him up and down and said: "What a handsome man! Old sister, you really found a good grandson-in-law!"

The old lady smiled at Zai Zhang, who was a little restrained, and nodded.

Feng said, "Mother, Zhang is also your grandson-in-law! You are praising yourself too!"

Old Lady Wang smiled and nodded at Feng with her handkerchief, then looked behind Zai Zhang and said, "Who is this?"

"Grandmother, this is Tingye, the second son of Ningyuan Marquis."

Gu Tingye bowed and said, "Hello, old lady."

Old Lady Wang smiled and nodded, "Good! Good boy! You look so much like your father when he was young."

Gu Tingye raised his mouth, "Thank you for the compliment, old lady."

After that, Gu Tingye walked aside and revealed Xu Zaijing behind him.

"Hello, grandma."

Xu Zaijing bowed.

Old Lady Wang looked at Xu Zaijing with a different look in her eyes, and the smile and gratitude in her eyes were stronger than those in Zai Zhang.

One reason was that Xu Zaijing helped the Kang family find the thief inside and avoided a disaster.

The second reason was that although Xu Zaijing was the youngest of the Xu family and several years younger than Zai Zhang, he was now taller than Zai Zhang.

Gu Tingye was a little short when he stood next to Xu Zaijing.

And Xu Zaijing was strong and well-proportioned, and his appearance was even more handsome.

He also had an inexplicable temperament.

Old Lady Wang looked at Old Lady Sheng in surprise and said, "Old sister, it's because there is no girl in my family, otherwise I would have arranged a marriage for Jing'er today!"

The old lady smiled at Xu Zaijing, who was smiling and seemed embarrassed, and said, "Then his mother will have to worry more!"

Feng, who was next to Old Lady Wang, also looked at Xu Zaijing with admiration in her eyes and said,

"I haven't seen you for a few years, but Brother Jing has grown so much!"

"Mother-in-law, there are some direct daughters in our Feng family's eldest house. I will go back to my parents' house and ask about them then."

"We must not let such a good child slip away from our hands."

After Feng finished speaking, everyone chuckled.

The two mothers, Fang and Cui, looked at Xu Zaijing with particularly kind eyes, and Wei Shuyi beside them also chuckled.

Gu Tingye glanced at Xu Zaijing a little depressed, why didn't anyone tell him about the marriage just now?

Zai Zhang was also smiling at the side. Looking at Gu Tingye's appearance, he whispered: "Don't mind, Erlang, only relatives would make such a joke."

When talking,

Xu Zaijing stood aside,

Qi Heng bowed his hands and said, "I have met Mrs. Wang."

Zai Zhang introduced softly.

Mrs. Wang's eyes were full of admiration and she said with a smile: "As expected of the princess's child, she is really handsome!"

"Thank you, Madam Wang, for the compliment. You are really over-praising me."

Qi Heng replied sheepishly, glancing at Xu Zaijing as he spoke.

Behind them are Changbai, Changfeng and three orchids.

Finally, Sheng Changzhu was brought over by Cuiwei's hand.

After an introduction,

Mrs. Wang gave many good things to Xu Zaijing and others.

Zai Zhang, who was already married, stayed on the table in the main hall.

Xu Zaijing, Chang Bai and other unmarried people went to the children's table.

After saying goodbye after dinner, Xu Zaijing and his party returned to the school.

Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. Wang were drinking tea for digestion in Shou'an Hall.

"Old sister, I heard that the old sister-in-law from the Sheng family's main house came to Bianjing?"

The old lady smiled and nodded: "Yes! One is to look at me, and the other is for the marriage of the eldest son, Sun Changwu! The business of the Sheng family's eldest house is booming day by day with the help of relatives, and they always have to find something to their liking. "

Mrs. Wang's heart moved and she asked, "How old is this child? Does he have any plans for the future?"

After the old lady explained, Mrs. Wang nodded, but after looking at Wang Ruofu she said nothing.

After school in the afternoon,

Hua Lan rode in the carriage himself,

Xu Xingzhong was held by Xu Zaijing and sat quietly on the saddle in front of his uncle.

After leaving the Hou Mansion, Xu Xingzhong, who had rarely experienced anything like this, kept looking at the street scene.

Away from the bustling streets,

Just turned into Quyuan Street,

"Zou, please stop!"

Chu Zhan's voice came.

Xu Zaijing followed the sound and saw a group of teenage children chasing each other on Quyuan Street.

After a few breaths,

Chu Zhan jumped up and threw a taller boy in front of him to the ground. After pressing the person to the ground, Chu Zhan said:

"Zou, hand over what you just lost to Mi Mu!"

"Bah! I didn't lose!"

"Why did you run away if you didn't lose?"

"Why should I give you something that I can't afford based on my own abilities?"

In front of the two of them, a girl of twelve or thirteen years old said in a panic: "Brother, you, don't fight, give your things to others!"

"Little sister, if you don't want to help, get away! Zou Ming, come up!"

The boy next to the girl was about to move, and a group of small and medium-sized children behind Chu Zhan stood forward.

Looking at these six or seven children, Zou Ming looked aside in a panic, and happened to see a woman holding a child in one hand and holding a wide bamboo board in the other hand walking over angrily.

"Second brother, eldest sister is here to save us!"

Chu Zhan also saw Qingyun who was riding over. He hit the man on the ground hard on the back and stood up.

When Qingyun came over, Chu Zhan led a group of half-grown boys and girls and bowed: "Brother Qingyun."

"Stop making trouble! Young Master and the others are back!"

"Yes, Brother Qingyun."

The man named Zou on the ground also stood up and stood aside with his siblings.

After watching the carriages and horses passing by, he quickly lowered his head and handed over his hands.

Xu Zaijing was riding on his horse, looking sideways at Chu Zhan and the group of boys and girls he brought with him who were old friends from the Hou family and Bai Gao, and said with a smile: "I didn't lose, which is pretty good."

Chu Zhan puffed up his chest secretly, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Wulang for the compliment."

Xu Zaijing was on horseback and saw a woman standing aside holding a child and a board.

Qingyun said from the side: "Sir, that is Mrs. Zou."

Xu Zaijing was startled when he looked at the woman's appearance. The reason was that the woman's appearance was somewhat similar to that of an actor named Yu Feihong in his distant memory.

Mrs. Zou took the child and gave her a blessing. Xu Zaijing nodded in greeting and continued to walk forward.

After Xu Zaijing left,

Chu Zhan grabbed the man named Zou by his clothes: "You still want to run away!"

"Sister, save me!"

After Mrs. Zou came closer, she glanced at Chu Zhan and said, "Zou Chu, what's going on?"

"Sister, I."

"Madam, he used dried herring to fight against us, but when he lost, he wanted to run away."

"Is what he said true?" Mrs. Zou asked.

"yes"

"Crack!"

"Ouch!"

Then the sounds of people being beaten hard with bamboo boards kept coming.

Chu Zhan and others on the side looked at it with twitching eyes. One of the children said in Dazhou dialect with a slight accent: "Brother Chu Zhan, why don't you forget it!"

"You don't want to eat dried fish?"

The kid swallowed.

After playing for a while,

"You wait!"

Mrs. Zou said,

Then, feeling a little tired, she gave the bamboo board to Zou Xiaomei and turned around to walk towards the yard.

After a while, he came out carrying a dried fish with a jade color: "Take it!"

"Thank you, madam!"

Chu Zhan took it and bowed his hands with a smile, then led the people away towards Shu Bo's stall.

Mrs. Zou looked at her three younger siblings and said bitterly: "Next time Zou Chu acts up, if you two don't stop me, I'll beat you up too!"

"That is to say, if you don't take care of your shortcomings, you will reap the rewards!"

"Remember?"

The three Zou brothers and sisters lowered their heads and said, "I understand, sister."

night,

The Rong family returned to Xueyuan,

Rong Feiyan, who had recovered much from the cold, had several delicacies from Yang Lou placed in front of her.

Rong Feiyan looked at Ningxiang with doubtful eyes,

Ningxiang pointed at a delicacy.

Rong Feiyan immediately went to the dish and took a look. After sniffing it, she nodded with satisfaction and said, "It smells very fragrant. No wonder he brought this dish!"

"Girl, if you bring this dish, you may not like it yourself. Don't you often buy it for the two slaves?"

After Ningxiang finished speaking, she looked at Xiaowei: "Sister, why are you looking at me like that?"

Xinbu shook his head and said to Rong Feiyan, "Girl, let's eat this!"

Ningxiang said nothing in anger.

After Rong Feiyan had eaten a few mouthfuls of food, Ningxiang said again: "Girl, when I was waiting for the food in Yanglou, I met the female envoy of the Lu family. I heard from her that Miss Zhengzheng of the Chai family wore a wedding dress at the elegant gathering today. I got a flower crown, it’s so beautiful!”

Xinbu walked beside Rong Feiyan and glared at Ningxiang angrily.

Rong Feiyan picked up the vegetables with chopsticks: "Can you tell me what color it is?"

"That's not true."

Rong Feiyan nodded and said, "Let's talk to the people in Dongyu Garden and the Planting Garden tomorrow to send some flowers in advance the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, girl!"

He answered carefully.

Ningxiang Rong Feiyan filled a bowl of soup and said, "Girl, do you also want to make a flower crown? Do you want to go to the palace and ask Concubine Rong for a pattern?"

Rong Feiyan shook his head and took the soup bowl: "I'm wearing it for my brother. What do you want?"

Two days later,

early in the morning,

When Xu Zaijing mounted his horse at the second gate,

The three female servants in his courtyard all stepped on horse stools and got into the carriage.

Zai Zhang felt a little embarrassed and yawned: "Why are there so many people here today?"

Xu Zaijing smiled and said, "It's okay!"

Zai Zhang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Yes, yes, brother Ni is getting married today."

Subsequently,

A group of carriages and horses left the Hou Mansion and walked towards the Sheng family.

The outer courtyard of the Sheng family,

Qingcao, Huaxiang and Yunxiang got off the carriage,

"Sir, let's go over there!"

Qingcao said with a smile on his face.

Xu Zaijing smiled and said: "Go!"

Yun Xiang, who was next to Xu Zaijing, stood aside with some envy, still holding a book box in her hand. It was her turn to go to school today.

"What are you waiting for?"

Hearing Xu Zaijing's voice, Yun Xiang's eyes flashed with surprise. After handing the book box to Xu Zaijing, he smiled and gave a blessing and quickly chased after him.

Xu Zaijing has a good impression of Xiaodie because Xiaodie helped Qingcao in Yangzhou before.

And in the story in my memory, this girl Xiaodie was wronged and expelled from the Sheng family!

But she would rather starch and wash clothes by herself than use the silver bracelet Wei Shu gave her.

You know, doing starching work in winter, with cold weather and cold water, is never a good job.

Xiaodie is a good girl who deserves a better future.
