Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

In the main hall,

Only the chief and deputy envoys of the Northern Liao and Jin envoys were qualified to sit in it, and they used the same pure gold Quxi (zhi) (a wine bowl with a curved handle) as the noble officials.

Other nobles of the Jin Kingdom and Northern Liao aristocratic families who followed, such as Zhao Weigan, Han Honglie, etc.,

They can only be like the low-ranking civil and military officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Sitting in the verandahs on both sides of the hall, they made silver bows.

When Xu Zaijing and others lined up to leave the color shed,

In the verandahs on both sides, both the civil and military officials of the Zhou Dynasty, the military aristocrats of the Jin Kingdom, and the aristocratic families of the Northern Liao Dynasty were attracted by the aura and attire of the group of people, and they paid attention.

Waiting for the music to start playing in the booth,

Xu Zaijing and more than a hundred people began to hum in a low voice, and when the strong men in the army blew the horns used on the battlefield,

in the verandah,

Some people bring the silver wine bowl to their lips but forget to take a sip.

Some chopsticks stopped on the dishes without picking them up.

There are also people who have food in their mouths but stop chewing.

They all listened attentively to the singing coming from the hall.

When the song ends,

Zhao Weigan, Han Honglie and others sitting in the verandah applauded like the nobles of the Jin Kingdom.

A pause in applause,

The members of the Beiliao family looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion. Zhao Wei dared to hold up the wine bowl and said softly:

"Sanlang, do celebrations like this in the past years of the Great Zhou Dynasty often have such a chorus?"

Liu Jun and Liu Sanlang looked at the dishes on the table and said: "If the elders in the family have heard such a vigorous chorus, they will definitely write it down or talk to the younger generations like me!"

"Can"

Liu Sanlang said and shook his head.

Han Honglie on the side said: "Previously, the Great Zhou Dynasty conquered Bai Gaodao without taking advantage and did not achieve the feat of destroying the country. How could there be such a chorus?"

Several other people nodded one after another, and looked at the Jin envoy not far away with some annoyance: 'If the Jin State hadn't caused trouble in the eastern part of Northern Liao, it would never have been so easy for the Great Zhou Dynasty to regain its homeland. ’

At this time,

There was a sound of walking in the square in front of the temple, and from time to time, the clear voice of a girl could be heard.

In the palace,

After singing in unison, Xu Zaijing and others walked to the emperor one after another according to their martial arts ranks.

The emperor looked at the people not far away and nodded with a smile on his face: "I thought you were going to sing a song similar to the one before, but I didn't expect it to be very good!"

"I heard it was your kid's idea again?"

The second sentence was spoken towards Xu Zaijing in front.

Xu Zaijing bowed and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, yes! The boy is also feeling this!"

The emperor continued to smile and nodded:

"Okay! Reward them well when you get down."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The chief minister on the side bowed and responded.

"Your Majesty, please leave."

Cao Yi, who was standing on Xu Zaijing's side, first bowed and bowed his hands.

"My lord, please leave!"

Afterwards, more than a hundred people bowed and shouted in unison, then slowly retreated outside under the gaze of the emperor and the princes and counts.

When I came to the entrance of the temple,

The speed of the team's exit has slowed down a bit, and there seems to be some 'congestion' ahead.

Xu Zaijing, who was walking at the end, felt the line of sight. When he looked sideways, he saw Ru Lan sitting behind Wang Ruofu, smiling and waving to him.

Xu Zaijing nodded to the Sheng family and followed the pace of the people in front.

Out of the palace gate,

Only then did they realize that in front of their team, there was a group of more than 400 girls that was larger than their team, lining up outside the hall.

Most of these girls are fifteen or sixteen years old. They wear flower crowns and colorful clothes with waisted waists. They are dressed up very colorfully. They can participate in the palace ceremony. Their appearance and figure have been carefully selected. They are all beautiful.

Especially the four girls standing at the front of the four rows of girls, holding colorful sticks in their hands, are even more beautiful.

Seeing Xu Zaijing and others walking out of the hall, the girls lost their usual shyness and stood in the group of girls and looked at them wantonly.

There were also bold girls who would point at Di Jing and others from time to time, then cover their mouths and smile.

You know, Di Jing is quite handsome.

In the team of Xu Zaijing and others,

There are the generals and generals of the personal bodyguard who usually spend a lot of time,

At this moment, I feel the ocean of girls, the sights of hundreds of girls, especially the four girls holding colorful sticks at the front,

He looked a little shy and embarrassed.

The girl at the front of these four columns is the most charming. When she saw Di Jing,

Two people just wanted to talk,

But their eyes fell on Xu Zaijing, who was walking at the back, and the two men immediately shut up.

When Xu Zaijing approached, three of the four girls shouted in clear and sweet voices: "Young Master, Qiyun Tower Chunnu, you are polite."

"Sir, brother Nu Fei Yuntai Lin Xian, you are polite."

"Sir, Brother Li Qian from Qianchunlou, you are polite."

Hearing the voices of the three girls, the Western Army soldiers walking in front turned back and looked at Xu Zaijing, and some even started laughing.

When Xu Zaijing heard the voices of the three girls introducing themselves, he was caught off guard and nodded with a smile.

The girls in the four rows behind looked at Xu Zaijing curiously when they heard the most outstanding girl in front introduce themselves.

When Xu Zaijing looked over, the girls chuckled one after another, and some boldly whispered: "Sir, which family are you from?"

"Yes, sir, where do you live?"

Hearing these questions,

Among the group of people from the Western Army Lieutenant School, someone said, "That's Wu Lang from the Yongyi Hou Mansion!"

"ah?"

"Hey~"

When the girls heard this, they all sighed with regret or disbelief.

If it were an ordinary military lieutenant school, they might have the opportunity to become a concubine or something like that!

But they were afraid that the young master of the Hou Mansion wouldn't even be able to get close to the threshold.

When Xu Zaijing walked out,

The girls outside the hall were also led into the ceremony by four girls holding colorful sticks.

Lively music was played in the colorful booth.

Xijun Paoze, who was walking in front of Xu Zaijing, turned around and said, "Wulang, Wulang, where do these girls come from?"

Looking back at the graceful figures of the girls filing into the hall,

Xu Zaijing said: "She should be a girl from the east and west sides of the city who is an outstanding artist and artist."

"oh"

"The ceremony will end in the afternoon, and these girls will leave at the south gate of the palace city." Xu Zaijing continued.

"oh!"

Everyone who heard this started whispering to each other.

Return to the colorful shed in the square outside the temple,

After taking off their armor, washing their faces and putting on formal clothes, everyone walked towards their seats.

When Xu Zaijing walked to his position in the corner of the hall,

Gu Tingye and Rongxian were already sitting nearby.

Seeing Xu Zaijing sitting down,

Rongxian on the side hurriedly came over and pointed to a girl who was dancing in the hall not far away and said:

"Brother Jing, where is that guy from?"

Xu Zaijing tilted his head: "Why are you asking me?"

Rongxian: "Wow! I asked them several questions before, but before they could say anything, I went to perform."

Xu Zaijing shook his head: "That one didn't talk to me."

"ah?"

At this time,

An internal official came over and said to Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye: "Second Young Master Gu, Fifth Young Master Xu, and Sixth Young Master of the Liang family, please go to Xuandemen in the afternoon to talk."

Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye smiled and nodded: "Thanks to the internal officials."

"You two are welcome."

"Liang Liu's invitation to you is a lie, but it's true that you go and see these girls!"

Rongxian on the side curled his lips.

Gu Tingye: "Are you going or not?"

"go!"

After watching the performance for a while,

The hundreds of girls who had just entered the palace lined up and slowly floated out.

The necks of Rong Xian and Gu Tingye turned even more so that they could no longer see the girls, and then they turned back.

The sumo wrestling show is over,

At the end of the day (3 p.m.)

The female officials came in holding baskets of precious blooming flowers.

They stopped near the table from time to time, letting everyone choose their own, and the flowers chosen by everyone in the hall were pinned to their temples one after another.

After the emperor and the empress drank the last glass of wine together,

All the ministers, officials and envoys from foreign countries inside and outside the hall stood up and left one after another.

Xu Zaijing also stood up and walked out from the side door of the hall together with Gu Tingye and Rong Xian.

Just after leaving the palace gate,

He saw a dozen female officials standing outside the palace, holding flower baskets in their hands. The flower baskets were colorful and the flowers were very beautiful.

Near the main entrance of the hall, an official family member was looking at the flower basket with admiration and said:

"How much does one cost?"

"Back to Madam, this basket of flowers was collected from the Eastern Imperial Garden and is priced at fifty guan."

"Okay, I want it."

Listening to the official's words,

Gu Tingye wondered: "Can I still buy these flowers?"

Rongxian nodded: "Of course you can!"

When speaking, Rongxian still had an expression of 'you don't know this', which made Gu Tingye embarrassed for a while.

Xu Zaijing nodded aside, walked to the female official nearest to him, and also bought a basket of flowers.

Just when they were waiting for their respective families,

Liang Han also came over carrying a basket of flowers, and said to Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye, "Let's go! When I came here, I told the two ladies that we would go to Panlou at the South Gate to talk."

Hearing this,

Xu Zaijing glanced at his parents,

Seeing his father Xu Minghua nodding towards him, he walked towards the palace gate with a few others.

After leaving Xihua Gate,

Under the palace wall, there was an open space for parking carriages and horses marked out by horseback.

Xu Zaijing handed the basket of flowers to the three little envoys waiting by the carriage: "You guys are playing with hairpins, and I will go with them!"

"Thank you, sir!"

After receiving the flower basket, the three female envoys smiled and gave a blessing ceremony beside the carriage.

Looking at Xu Zaijing who also wore a hairpin, Qingcao smiled and said: "Sir, your hairpin today makes you look really good!"

Xu Zaijing stroked the flowers in his hair and said with a smile: "That's right, this is a gift from the emperor, doesn't it look good? Remember to leave two for you, sister-in-law Hua Qing!"

"Yes, sir!" The three female envoys smiled and looked at Qingyun, who was smiling and nodding.

After saying that,

Xu Zaijing prepared to ride the horse out with Qingyun.

But because today the officials are so distinguished that they cannot wait at the gate of the palace for their carriages and horses to pick them up, so they all walk towards their carriages together.

So the road suddenly became crowded.

Xu Zaijing rode his horse for a few steps before he had to stop and let go of the people passing by on foot.

And because Xu Zaijing arrived early, the place where the carriages and horses were was close to the entrance, but when going out, he could not go in the opposite direction, but went directly to the exit.

Chai and Rong came a little late.

Naturally, the carriages and horses stopped closer to the exit.

so,

As soon as Xu Zaijing dismounted and led the horse for a walk, he saw the Chai family members beside him.

"Hey, Brother Jing, you came out early enough, your mother is still behind you!"

Mrs. Chai, who was beside the head of the Chai family, looked at Xu Zaijing and said with a smile.

Xu Zaijing nodded and smiled: "Madam, I went to the south gate with Erlang and the others to talk. I have already told my mother."

"oh!"

After Mrs. Chai nodded, she looked at Xu Zaijing, who was wearing a light-colored lining and a light green outer robe with red flowers on her hair, and leading a black horse, and said: "This child, with this red flower on his hair, is really pretty. "

As she spoke, Mrs. Chai looked at her official inquiringly.

The head of the Chai family nodded repeatedly.

"Madam, you are so complimentary."

Xu Zaijing replied with some embarrassment on his face.

Later, Xu Zaijing looked at Chai Jin and Chai Bo behind the Chai family, nodded and said, "Are the two eldest brothers just off duty?"

As he spoke, Xu Zaijing nodded again towards Chai Zhengzheng, who was walking among the Chai brothers and looking sideways at him.

Chai Jin, who had a tired look on his face, nodded and said, "Brother Jing, I heard the chorus today on the palace wall. It was very good!"

Xu Zaijing hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Thank you for the compliment from Brother Jin. We all practiced hard together."

While the two were talking, the Chai family and his wife took a few steps forward quickly, letting their three children be parallel to Xu Zaijing.

Chai Jin nodded, looked back, smiled, patted Xu Zaijing's shoulder and walked back, as if he had met an acquaintance.

Chai Zhengzheng in the middle was naturally exposed to Xu Zaijing's side.

Chai Bo on the other side also looked back with a smile, gave way to the people behind him, and naturally squeezed Chai Zhengzheng towards the middle.

After a while, Chai Jin caught up again, but instead of returning to Xu Zaijing's side, he walked to the outside of his younger brother.

Chai Zhengzheng had to move towards Xu Zaijing again.

"Brother Jing, are you going to Mrs. Wu's chrysanthemum viewing party next month?"

Chai Jin turned his head and asked.

Xu Zaijing, who was walking side by side with Chai Zhengzheng, looked at the hairpin of the same color on the girl beside him from the corner of his eyes. He smelled the scent of flowers or some kind of fragrance and said with a smile: "I'll probably go."

"Let's talk then, and you tell us about your affairs in the northwest."

Xu Zaijing smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Chai Zhengzheng, who was beside Xu Zaijing, was listening to their conversation, feeling happy and walking forward with his cheeks feeling warm.

Although she was looking forward, she was paying full attention to the man holding a tall horse like a wall with the corner of her eyes, paying attention to whether he looked at her or glanced over.

What she was thinking about was how she would respond if this person on the other side came to talk to her.

‘Would you like to smile first? ’

‘Look at his eyes. No, no, no, that’s too rude. Or look at his clothes, or the flowers in his hairpin? ’

This made her a little distracted.

‘Why doesn’t my brother speak? ’

‘Huh? ’

"cough!!!"

A cough with a familiar voice came, awakening Chai Zhengzheng, and he quickly looked around:

On one side of her is still a tall black horse like a wall,

But on the other side, the two brothers were missing.

The parents walking in front didn’t know when they turned the corner and went to their carriage! ! !

Chai Zhengzheng stopped immediately,

She only felt as if her face was on fire.

Ignoring looking at Xu Zaijing, Chai Zhengzheng bowed his head and bowed, then hurriedly turned around and walked towards his carriage.

Coming to his brother who was a few steps away,

Chai Zhengzheng hated his second brother, Chai Bo, and slapped him very hard.

When I wanted to punch Chai Jin, the eldest brother who smiled evilly,

"Brother Jing, look over here." Chai Bo whispered.

Chai Zhengzheng immediately hid his fist, turned his head seemingly unintentionally, and looked not far away from the corner of his eyes.

After a while,

Looking at someone who never looked back,

Chai Zhengzheng waved his fist harder.

"Crack!"

"Hiss! Chai Zhengzheng, you really have to kill me!"
