Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

Chapter 485 Xie Family Zheng Zheng and Hua Lan [Thank you! Thank you again! 41k to be updated]

Talking

The two walked forward and came to the weapons rack on one side.

Gu Tingye took out the spear from the weapon rack, weighed it in his hand, and said with a satisfied smile in his eyes: "This is a large spear that the palace specially came to my house to imitate according to my habits."

"Here! Try it?"

Looking at the exquisite spear that Gu Tingye held up in front of him, Xu Zaijing took it and danced with one hand, then the look in his eyes was somewhat similar to Gu Tingye's.

Then Xu Zaijing used an index finger to hold the back of the spear. Looking at the spear that was balancing on his fingers, Xu Zaijing nodded approvingly.

"No, Brother Jing, how did you find this position?"

Gu Tingye asked in surprise.

Xu Zaijing smiled slightly: "Experience."

At this time,

An internal official walked over quickly, bowed and said, "Oh, the two young masters are here! Please come with me and take a walk!"

Xu Zaijing nodded, put the spear back in place and walked towards the entrance of the hall with Gu Tingye.

At this time, there were already many people who looked like military lieutenants standing around the door, talking. Most of them were Zhu Qinghu, Di Jing, Cao Yi and others who Xu Zaijing knew and were from the Western Army. .

Among them, four of them were no less powerful than Ye Fang, Feng Dabao and others, and they looked different from the others in their attire.

Seeing Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye coming over, Zhu Qinghu, Ye Fang and others among them nodded in greeting.

As the two approached, Di Jing pointed to the four people with excitement and said: "Wu Lang, these four are from the Guangrui Army in the north. Looking for opportunities."

As she spoke, Di Jing kept raising her eyebrows, meaning she was looking for a chance to compete.

Zhu Qinghu smiled and shook his head.

Xu Zaijing and Di Jing nodded, smiled and raised their hands to one of them, saying: "Master Gao, we meet again!"

"I've seen Goro!"

This man was a general of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion's personal army, his surname was Gao. He had competed with Xu Zaijing on the ship to Yangzhou before, and later in Chuzhou they even destroyed bandit nests and killed thieves together.

Having this experience of fighting side by side has deepened our friendship.

Seeing the tall man on the side smiling and talking to Xu Zaijing, and his posture was actually slightly lowered, this made the three Guangrui Army sergeants following him look at Xu Zaijing curiously.

This tall man was a general in the personal army. He followed Gu Hou in the north and was very strict with his eyes above his head. He was also responsible for enforcing military laws.

Back in Bianjing, not to mention the incompetent brothers in the fourth and fifth rooms of the Gu family, even the steward Qi Shengqi next to Gu Hou rarely gave him a smile.

The three of them looked at each other, and their eyes said, "What's going on today?"

At this time,

An official from the Ministry of Etiquette came over with black eyes, bloodshot eyes and blisters at the corners of his mouth.

He bowed his hands to a group of captains: "I've met you all!" After saying that, he smiled at Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye.

Then, the official of the Ministry of Rites unfolded the scroll with a brocade base in his hand, and after looking at it, he pointed into the hall and said, "Second Young Master Gu, can you see the dancers in the hall?"

Gu Tingye nodded repeatedly.

"After they finish dancing, you and these four have to grab the spear and get ready to go on stage. Where is the gun! Get the spear quickly!"

The official of the Ministry of Rites said the following sentence to the internal official on the side.

When the internal officer and his men quickly brought the spear, the official of the Ministry of Rites stretched out his hand towards Gu Tingye and said, "Come on!"

Looking at Master Gao and the four Guangrui soldiers who were still standing at the door, he said: "Follow you four too!"

Gu Tingye has already entered the palace and is practicing casually with Captain Gao in the palace.

The official from the Ministry of Rites came out again holding the scroll.

"Thank you sir!"

Xu Zaijing smiled and cupped his hands.

Di Jing, Cao Yi and other captains on the side also raised their hands to say hello.

Hearing the greetings, the official of the Ministry of Etiquette, who had been busy for an unknown amount of time, had a smile on his face. He cleared his throat and said, "Everyone is interested! When you enter the palace tomorrow, just like the drill the day before yesterday, you..."

Then, the official from the Ministry of Rites looked at the formation of Xu Zaijing and the other 100 people entering the field, and nodded with satisfaction.

After Xu Zaijing, Gu Tingye and others rehearsed and exited,

At the entrance of the main hall, the official of the Ministry of Rites pointed to the colorful shed outside the hall and said: "When you come over for the ceremony tomorrow, the female officials standing on both sides will dance the 'Nuoqu Dance' to the music!"

As he said this, the official waved, and the sound of music came from the colorful shed under the colorful building near the main hall.

Looking at the female officer who was dancing a very rhythmic dance, Xu Zaijing and others nodded to indicate their understanding.

Gu Tingye even came to Xu Zaijing's side, looking like someone who had come before, and said: "This has changed too much. We didn't have this kind of scene when we were kids!"

Xu Zaijing turned his head and said, "His Majesty also confiscated Fubai Gao's old place before."

"Too."

"Okay, everyone, go slowly!" The official of the Ministry of Rites bowed his hands and walked towards the performer of the next show waiting at the entrance of the palace.

After Xu Zaijing and others returned the courtesy, they walked to the color shed and took a look.

At this time, the music booth had stopped playing.

Xu Zaijing was looking at the musical instrument, but no one else knew.

The front row of musicians in this color booth is a row of ten sandalwood boards.

Behind the sandalwood banquet are half-circles in front of the people. There are about fifty musicians in two rows holding exquisitely painted pipa. Both Wei Fangzhi and Yang Luoyou are among them. Although they are famous, they are not near the front. It can be seen that these two people are not close to the front. The level of musicians who play Pipa.

Seeing Xu Zaijing's figure, Wei Fangzhi bowed while holding the pipa.

Behind the two rows of pipa are two konghou, and behind them are large drums on three stands. There are colorful flowers and golden dragons on the drums.

There is a circle of Jiegu around the big drum, and the young girl Zhiyue is actually among them.

The emperor's birthday banquet is a big event, and this little girl can be included in it. She obviously has some abilities.

Surrounding the big and small drums are musicians playing chimes, chimes, flutes, flutes and other musical instruments. The number ranges from one to five.

Xu Zaijing took a look and saw that it was very similar to the orchestra that played in the concert hall in later generations.

At this time,

Gu Tingye pointed to the musicians playing flutes and flutes and something covered with silk, and said, "Brother Jing, what is that?"

Xu Zaijing looked in the direction Gu Tingye pointed and said, "The horn used in the military."

"Oh! Who are you blowing this to?"

Zhu Qinghu, Cao Yi and others who heard the conversation between the two looked at each other and smiled.

Afterwards, everyone walked through the huge square in front of the palace, passed Jiying Gate, turned right and exited the Xihua Gate and left the palace.

night,

At the beginning of the lanterns,

Chai family,

Qiu Sheng Yuan

Yunmu held a post in his hand and opened the door curtain and walked in: "Girl, I'm back!"

In the hall, Chai Zhengzheng, who was directing the wisteria flower arrangements, turned his head and said, "Did you get the things?"

Yunmu nodded and handed over the post in his hand: "The palace just sent the process for tomorrow's ceremony."

Chai Zhengzheng smiled and nodded, and walked to the table while unfolding the post. After sitting down, he leaned in front of the candlelight and read at a glance.

Suddenly,

Chai Zhengzheng's eyes stopped, looked at the name of a certain program and smiled: "Okay!"

On the second day,

The birthday ceremony of the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty.

The first quarter of Yin hour (five o'clock in the morning)

The sky is slightly bright,

Rong family,

Back at the snowy courtyard, the room was very bright with the lit candles.

A female servant came out of the house carrying a washbasin that was slightly steaming.

inside the house,

Rong Feiyan was sitting in front of the bronze mirror wearing a pure white lining. She was carefully holding a horn comb that was as warm as jade. She stood behind Rong Feiyan and carefully combed her girl's hair.

Ningxiang stood on the other side. After opening the small drawer of the dossier on the table, she carefully took out a flower mother-of-pearl cut from gold foil and said, "Girl, are you going to post this today?"

After taking a look, Rong Feiyan said, "Are there other styles?"

Ningxiang took out another exquisite pearl: "This?"

Rong Feiyan looked at the pearls in front of her, thought for a while, and said, "Let's stick to the gold foil just now! Today most ladies and ladies from various families will have pearls on them, and there may be fewer gold foils on them."

"Yes, girl!"

While Ningxiang was busy applying glue on the gold foil, she helped Rong Feiyan comb her hair in small steps.

"Don't use these kinds of jewelry with daggers on them. They will make your hair uncomfortable. Use these ones that are fixed in the bun."

"Yes, girl!"

"Just bring these cyan, light green and lavender clothes."

After listening to Rong Feiyan's words, she waved to the little envoy at the side, and the little envoy walked out holding her clothes.

When Rong Feiyan went back to Xueyuan,

The sun has peeked out in the east.

At the second gate of the Rong family,

Madam Marquis Fuchang looked at her daughter who came out with the envoy, and said with a smile: "My son is indeed good at dressing up. He looks like your sister!"

Rong Xian, who has never been very reliable, nodded at this time and said: "Which brother here will not be confused when he sees my sister!"

"Shut up! How could anyone say that about my sister?"

Marquis Fuchang on the side scolded.

Rong Xiantan.

Two quarters of a hour (before eight o'clock in the morning)

The Imperial City of the Great Zhou Dynasty,

Ximen Xihuamen,

Just like the other palace gates, they were as happy as before.

Standing on the palace wall,

You can also hear the sounds of singing and cheering coming from the nearby streets, near the colorful sheds erected by wealthy families or the families of officials and nobles to celebrate the emperor's birthday.

Around the palace entrance,

The imperial army used their red-colored and decorated horses to mark out a large open space for the clan, nobles and officials who lined up to enter the palace this morning to park their carriages and horses.

The sound of cars rumbling,

There is a sound of hoofbeats,

The sound of ‘calling’ is endless,

The coachman, who was wearing new clothes and looked well-kept at first glance, stopped the exquisite carriage near the palace gate.

From time to time, men and women dressed solemnly and luxuriously got off the carriage and walked towards the palace gate.

On the roadside some distance away from the palace gate,

Among the carriages queuing up,

Yunmu lifted the car curtain and looked at the open space behind Juma along the way.

With his eyes focused, Yun Mu lowered the curtain and said to Chai Zhengzheng in the car: "Girl, I saw Brother Qingyun who was feeding the horse. It seems that Young Master Xu has already entered the palace."

Chai Zhengzheng, who was wearing simple pearl makeup for the first time, had a smile in his eyes and nodded slightly.

"Girl, you don't have to be so careful. We use high-quality glue and it won't fall off easily."

Chai Zhengzheng blinked and said softly without moving his lips: "It's better to be careful, or you'll have to re-glue it."

Yunmu nodded.

Chai Zhengzheng continued:

"If this glue is really that good, I can use it to stick the feathers on my arrows in a few days."

Yunmu pursed his lips: "You are so willing."

soon,

The carriage gradually arrived near the palace gate,

When Chai Zhengzheng got off the carriage, he looked up and saw his mother, Mrs. Chai, who was sitting in the carriage in front, standing and talking with Mrs. Sun and her two daughters-in-law.

Next to them were Xu Hou and the leader of the Chai family who were smiling and talking.

"When did the Xu family's carriage come in front of us?"

Listening to Chai Zhengzheng's low-pitched questioning words, Yunmu shook his head: "I didn't pay attention."

After getting off the carriage and walking closer, Chai Zhengzheng saluted everyone.

"I've known her for so long, and this is the first time I've seen Miss Zhengzheng dressed up like this! Okay, she looks good!" Mrs. Sun said with a smile.

Behind Mr. Sun, Ms. Xie and Hua Lan also smiled and nodded.

"Thank you Madam for the compliment, but I feel ashamed that I don't deserve it."

"That's right, that's right!" said Sun with a smile.

Mrs. Chai glanced at her daughter with a smile and said, "Sister Sun, shall we go in?"

"Walk."

The two principal couples of the Chai and Xu families walked in front, while Chai Zhengzheng walked behind with Xie and Hualan.

Chai Zhengzheng turned his head and looked at the eyebrows of Xie and Hua Lan, and said softly: "The two sisters-in-law are actually wearing red petals?"

Hua Lan smiled and nodded: "Yes! These petals are lighter! Neither of us dare to use this pearl makeup, for fear that if it doesn't stick well and one of them falls off, we will both feel bad."

Chai Zhengzheng smiled: "My maid said that she used new good glue! Today I will try it for the two ladies. If it works well, I will send some to the two ladies!"

Then Chai Zhengzheng looked at Xie's and Hua Lan's faces and said sincerely: "With the looks of these two ladies, it would be a pity not to use this pearl makeup."

Ms. Xie smiled and said, "Miss Zhengzheng is really good at talking!"

Chai Zhengzheng said seriously: "Zhengzheng is just telling the truth!"

As soon as these words came out,

The smiles on Xie's and Hualan's faces became brighter and brighter.

Hua Lan looked at her mother-in-law in front of her and said with a smile, "Then we'll thank Zheng Zheng in advance."

"Madam, you're welcome."

Everyone passed through Xihua Gate and went straight.

After walking for a while, I turned left and entered Jiying Gate.

In the square in front of the temple,

Under the guidance of the internal officials, everyone parted ways with their hands folded or put on their handkerchiefs, and went to their places.

The emperor and empress had not yet arrived at this time.

The atmosphere in the palace is quite relaxed.

Chai Zhengzheng had just walked a few steps with his parents when he saw Gu Tingyi, Zhang Jiawu Niang and other girls from the Lord's family standing and talking.

The flower pattern between Ting Yi's eyebrows is outlined with vermilion flower juice, which is very delicate and beautiful.

However, the fifth lady of the Zhang family did not have any appliqués, nor did she wear pearl makeup like Chai Zhengzheng. Instead, she wore a bluish-white hairband with a ruby ​​in the middle and gold piping around her forehead. She was full of heroism.

When Chai Zhengzheng approaches,

Gu Tingyi glanced at the Xu family and said, "Zhengzheng, why did you come in with Sister Hualan and the others?"

"It happened that the front and back legs came together."

"oh!"

"Sister Tingyi, it's rare to see a flower pattern between your eyebrows!" Chai Zhengzheng said with a smile.

"That's right!" Gu Tingyi proudly raised his eyes to his forehead and continued: "My sister-in-law's handy female servant Qing Zhi helped me draw it!"

"Look, Miss Feiyan and Miss Dou are here."

A noble girl from another family said softly.

Chai Zhengzheng looked at the noble lady who was speaking, but she belonged to Duke Yan's Du family. Chai Zhengzheng smiled and nodded politely.

Then he looked towards the door.

After reading, the three girls looked at each other wordlessly, for no other reason. The two girls from the Dou family stood together with Rong Feiyan, who walked in with her chin slightly raised and arrogantly, like one girl leading two A luxuriously dressed female envoy.

After entering the door, Rong Feiyan glanced around the hall.

Looking at Chai Zhengzheng and others not far away, their eyes lit up and they walked over with a smile.

On the other side of the hall,

Sheng Hong stood beside a group of civil servants, listening to them with a smile on his face, nodding in agreement from time to time.

It was also his first time to participate in a ceremony of this level.

That is to say, Sheng Hong joined the Ministry of Civil Affairs by chance and was promoted in recent years. Otherwise, he would not be qualified to sit in the hall as a fifth-rank official.

Sheng Hong is not far away,

Wang Ruofu had a standard smile on his face, and from time to time he would say a few words to the official family members who came nearby. Ru Lan, who was next to him, also had a smile similar to Wang Ruofu's and smiled at the girls around the official family members.

"Wang family? Is the eldest lady from the Wang family on the side of Hehuangkai?"

Listening to the questions from the officials and family members on the side,

Wang Ruofu smiled politely: "No, my father deserves to enjoy the Ancestral Temple."

"Disrespectful! Who is your officer?"

"Libu, Sheng Hong!"

"oh oh!"

After answering each question, the officials and family members around Wang Ruofu became more and more friendly.

"Mother."

Hua Lan held the handkerchief and walked over from the side with a smile.

"Sister." Ru Lan walked over and hugged Hua Lan with a smile.

The official family members who noticed the direction Hua Lan was walking in looked at the positions of the Dukes where the Sun family was, and then looked at Hua Lan who was dressed elegantly and wearing exquisite jewelry, and whispered uncertainly: "You are .The second eldest lady of the Yongyi Hou Mansion?”

"Ladies, you are polite." Hua Lan let go of Ru Lan with a smile and bowed to the officials and family members around her.

This is an admission.

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the surrounding officials and family members changed when they looked at Ru Lan beside Wang Ruofu, and they whispered to each other from time to time.

Afterwards, two ladies inquired about Ru Lan's marriage with Wang Ruofu.

After talking for a while,

An internal official came to the hall, and soon everyone in the hall began to take their seats, waiting for the arrival of the Emperor and Empress of Zhou Dynasty.
