Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

Xu Zaijing looked a little embarrassed and said:

"Brother Xian, you are so ridiculous!"

Rong Xian waved his hand and said resolutely: "What a ridiculous compliment, there is no ridiculous compliment!"

Xu Zaijing smiled and said: "What do you mean I am the most reliable, but brother Ye is not reliable? Brother Heng is not reliable anymore? Their family background is better than mine!"

Rongxian paused for a moment, then nodded and said: "My young master's family background is very good! But... you also know about the festivals we had when we were children."

Putting the big sword in his hand back to the sword stand, Rongxian continued:

"I'm afraid Princess Pingning is still jealous of me. What will happen if my sister gets married?"

"Gu Erlang? Huh! That's just the way he is!"

"Also, Brother Jing! Whether it's visiting the palace for New Year greetings or any other celebrations, you have met my sister several times. How does she look?"

Rong Xian looked straight at Xu Zaijing: "Speak with your conscience!"

Looking at Rong Xian's 'questioning' look, Xu Zaijing nodded: "Miss Feiyan is naturally beautiful, quiet and dignified."

This is not Xu Zaijing’s show of praise.

After all, Rong Feiyan is the younger sister of Concubine Rong, who was favored by her beauty.

From the first time Xu Zaijing met Rong Feiyan in the palace and learned that the girl was Concubine Rong's younger sister, he realized that the girl's appearance and temperament were completely different from those he had seen in TV dramas.

Xu Zaijing was not rude to stare at the girl closely.

But he has excellent eyesight. During the few times he met her over the years, seeing the girl's gradually growing face always made Xu Zaijing feel a little familiar. Who does she look like?

Seeing Rong Xian's satisfied look, Xu Zaijing said: "But, Erlang, the marriages of noble children like us have never been decided by ourselves. You should have a deep understanding of this matter!"

Hearing this, Rong Xian sighed depressedly, glanced at Xu Zaijing, and said, "My sister also told me about this. It would be better if Brother Jing you were a libertine like me. But You have a bright future, marry my family."

Rongxian shook his head as he spoke.

The future emperor will be the strong and healthy prince Zhao Fang.

When the current emperor dies, the Rong family's honor and favor will be almost gone.

At that time, there was very little help the Rong family could provide to their in-laws, which could not compare with the civil officials who had been in the court for generations, or the new batch of royal relatives.

Looking at Xu Zaijing who was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say, Rong Xian hurriedly patted his arm and said: "Okay, you shouldn't say this! There are other places to go to, so let's go first!"

Saying,

Rongxian walked out of the hall.

Xu Zaijing hurriedly followed him out to see him off.

Qingcao and three other female envoys also followed.

Seeing Rong Xian's figure disappear in the corridor of the courtyard, Qingcao on the side glanced at Xu Zaijing and said: "Sir, it's rare for a Rong family brother to be so serious."

Xu Zaijing looked at Qingcao and smiled: "After all, she is a biological sister."

Qingcao nodded.

Xu Zaijing turned around and returned to the study to continue today's lessons.

evening,

Sun's courtyard son,

Xu Zaijing came to have dinner with his female servant.

Sitting at the table listening to Mrs. Sun talking to her two sisters-in-law,

Only then did Xu Zaijing realize that today seemed to be a good day. Not only the Rong family but also the Gu family came to the Xu family to send wedding invitations.

Moreover, the Gu family sent two wedding invitations.

"Mother, do you mean that the marriages of the two thieves in the fourth and fifth rooms of the Gu family have been decided?"

Looking at Mrs. Sun who nodded, Xu Zaijing said: "Gu Tingyang, how can he find a wife?"

Zai Zhang on the side smiled and said: "I heard that Gu Tingyang stopped for a while in order to marry the daughter of the Hong family."

"After the marriage ended, it happened that the daughter of a newly arrived official in Beijing was waiting to be married. The quiet period worked, and nothing scandalous was found out! It's been a long time in the Hou Mansion, so the marriage was done."

Hearing this, Xu Zaijing smiled and shook his head: "What a lost dog."

"cough!"

Seeing Mrs. Sun's warning look, Xu Zaijing stopped and said, "Mother, why does my son find the marriage of the Gu family's four and five bedrooms so procrastinating? Are you sending two wedding invitations?"

As soon as Xu Zaijing said these words, Xu Minghua, who was sitting next to Sun, also looked over.

Glancing at the curious Xu Minghua next to him, Sun said with a little sarcasm, "Of course I'm going to delay!"

"Mother, do you know some secret?"

Xu Zaijing asked with a smile.

After thinking for a moment, Mrs. Sun looked at the people at the dinner table and nodded: "It's not a secret. Anyway, the Gu family will be getting married in a few days, and you will know about it!"

"I heard from your eldest sister that when your brother-in-law told Marquis Gu about the family separation, he found out that the Gu family had already been separated when the previous generation of Marquis Ningyuan was still alive!"

"Ah!?" Xu Minghua said in surprise.

Sun nodded affirmatively.

Xu Minghua continued: "The way I have taken care of the Gu family over the past few years is not like that of a separated family."

When a family is separated, each family will receive gifts in its own way. For example, when Zaizhang gets married, three gifts will be sent to them, and of course they will be paid out of their own pockets.

Don't underestimate weddings and funerals. The amount of courtesy exchanges for a family like the Gu family can cost dozens or even hundreds of taels at a time!

The Gu family is the Marquis who founded the country and assisted in its fortunes. They have many relatives over the years.

But over the years, the Gu family has always given one share to each of the three bedrooms.

Xu Zaijing on the side thought for a while, then a slight sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Tsk~"

"That's because Gu Hou loves his brothers deeply. If anything happens, the eldest family will pay for it! As a result, the children of relatives with four or five bedrooms are already getting married. When their sons get married, they have to divide their families."

After Mrs. Sun finished speaking, Xu Minghua nodded and said, "Well, this is delaying the wedding. Are you giving gifts to the big house, and the Gu family is getting married in the small house, so you can accept them yourself?"

Mrs. Sun did not reply to her official's words, but looked at her youngest son not far away and said, "Jing'er, what are you laughing at?"

Xu Zaijing said: "Mother, I'm laughing at the greediness of the Gu family's small house."

In fact, the real reason why Xu Zaijing scoffed was:

He just thought of it,

The bigger reason why the marriages of the fourth and fifth brothers in the Gu family are so inconclusive may be that Bai did not die young!

The Bai family's dowry property, which was as rich as gold and silver, naturally did not fall into the hands of the Xiao Qin family and the fourth and fifth families of the Gu family.

As the wife of the Gu family, Bai's help is limited due to her responsibilities. After all, Gu Tingye and Gu Tingyi are still unmarried.

Compared with the original Gu family's small house, there is no such a huge windfall to decorate the house, so the behavior is naturally different.

Most of the mistresses and ladies in Bianjing's family have become sperms. Naturally, you can figure out a thing or two by asking around.

Coupled with the Gu family's plans for a small house, it would be strange not to delay.

Xu Minghua, who was on the side, picked up his chopsticks and said, "Jing'er, although the Gu family's small room had trouble with us before, you should not go to other people's homes to cause trouble!"

"Yes, father, my son saved it!"

Turn around,

Xu Zaijing returned to the Hou Mansion from school in the Sheng family.

I just rode a horse around the racecourse.

He saw Alan waving to him near the master's wooden house.

Xu Zaijing hurriedly rode his horse and ran over.

"Master, look!"

Alan shouted.

Xu Zaijing looked in the direction of Alan's finger,

In the direction of the gate, a dozen flatbed carriages loaded with things and covered with tarpaulins came in.

Xu Zaijing hurriedly drove his horse over.

These carriages are the same as in previous years. They are a convoy of Zhujiabao in Xiangzhou delivering various vegetables and meat to the Hou Mansion.

The same thing is that the leader is still the old man who Xu Zaijing of Zhujiabao wants to call Grandpa Seventh.

The difference is that the Zhu family boy who was sitting on the carriage of the motorcade before is now riding a horse.

Xu Zaijing dismounted in front of the motorcade,

He cupped his hands and said, "Grandpa Qi, are you here again this year?"

The old man Zhu smiled and nodded.

The young men following the carriage also dismounted, raised their hands and shouted, "I've seen my fifth cousin."

After Xu Zaijing smiled and nodded, he looked at the old man with more gray hair in front of him with some emotion: "Grandpa Seventh, let's enter the courtyard."

With that said, Xu Zaijing led the people towards the main hall of the outer courtyard.

When Xu Zaijing accompanied relatives of the Zhu family to talk in the main hall,

Xu Minghua came in with Mrs. Sun.

"I have met Mr. Marquis and Madam."

"Hey, Uncle Qi doesn't have to be like this!"

Looking at the old man holding his hands, Xu Minghua hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and then nodded to the young men holding his hands aside.

"Sit, everyone, sit down!"

After everyone sat down, Xu Minghua looked at the Zhu family boy who was looking around and said, "Jing'er, go out with your nephews to play."

Xu Zaijing stood up and responded.

Xu Minghua nodded and looked at the old man: "Uncle Qi, how is the harvest in the fort this year?"

Xu Zaijing and his people had just left the main hall.

I saw Chu Zhan looking this way from the Waiyi Gate.

In the racecourse,

Xu Zaijing was brushing the little Liju in front of the wooden house.

Chu Zhan, full of pride, took his mount out of the stable and

He and the boys he had known before were riding horses slowly on the racecourse and slipped away.

"Chu Zhan, why do I feel like there are so few people in the Hou Mansion this time?"

Listening to the question from a certain boy from the Zhu family, Chu Zhan said: "Those Baigao kids have all lived outside with the two eldest brothers from the Li family, so naturally there are fewer people."

"oh!"

Several young people from the Zhu family nodded.

"Chu Zhan, are you going to the north with us next year?"

Chu Zhan looked surprised: "Ah? Are you going to join the army next year?"

"Yes! It's warm in spring, I'll go to the cavalry to practice!"

Now that Zhu Qinghu is the commander of the cavalry, the children of the Zhu family will naturally follow Zhu Qinghu to start his 'transformation'.

"Come on, let me teach you a move. I learned it from my fellow soldiers."

As he said that, Chu Zhan drove his horse and started running.

Next to the wooden house, looking at the jubilant teenagers, Xu Zaijing smiled and said: "Alan, go teach them!"

"Yes, sir!"

It's getting dark,

Chu Zhan and others, covered in dust, gathered near the wooden house and began to unsaddle their horses.

Xu Zaijing sat on the high chair at the door, looked at the boys from the Zhu family, and said, "Do you remember the brothers from the Rong family?"

"Cousin, are you from the Fuchanghou family?"

"He's the one who can't beat us!"

The young people from the Zhu family said one after another.

Xu Zaijing smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's him!"

"Remember, remember!"

"I earned a lot of copper coins from him back then."

"He also said he would protect my future."

"Hahaha!"

Looking at the happy boys, Xu Zaijing said: "Since we know each other, I will take you to a banquet when he gets married in two days."

The seventh day of October,

Rongxian's wedding date is one day away.

The entire front and back yards of the Rong family have long been swept and wiped clean.

Happy words tied with red silk can be seen everywhere in the courtyard. Servants come and go, creating a festive and busy atmosphere.

At the second door leading to the backyard,

Rong Feiyan was wearing a light blue double-breasted gown, her hair was in a simple bun, and her arms were tied up. She looked very smart in her attire.

Rong Feiyan stood beside her mother with her envoy, looking at the woman standing not far away talking.

"Madam, here is the list of various appliances that have been moved to your house. Please take a look at them."

Mrs. Rong looked at the paper handed over and felt a little embarrassed: "Ahem, Yan'er, take a look."

"Yes, mother."

Rong Feiyan nodded,

Ningxiang who was on the side walked over and took the paper over.

After taking the list, Rong Feiyan glanced at it and said to the Rong family's housekeeper, "Have you counted it?"

"Go back to the girl, I have counted them one by one according to your instructions. The number is correct. There is no damage after trying."

Rong Feiyan nodded and said, "Okay, use the seal."

Seeing the admiring eyes of the woman opposite, Rong Feiyan smiled and bowed, and then said:

"Mom, I heard from the British Duke Zhang's sister that you rented equipment for weddings like this when you were old in Beijing. Your family's things are used for all weddings in the Duke's mansion. You have rich experience."

"The girl from the Duke's family deserves a prize! The little lady has just seen a lot."

Rong Feiyan smiled: "You have rich experience, why don't you come into the hospital and see if there is anything wrong with my home."

Mrs. Rong on the side frowned and said, "What's so good about this?"

Rong Feiyan said: "Mother, I'd better help this mother to see if there is anything wrong. It's better to prepare it in advance than to make mistakes and make people laugh at my brother's wedding tomorrow."

"If someone laughs at you, it will bring shame on my sister."

"Okay!" Mrs. Rong waved her hand: "I'll go to the gate and have a look."

When watching Mrs. Rong lead people away,

Rong Feiyan and the woman both gave a blessing.

Then, Rong Feiyan smiled and stretched out her hand: "Mom, please."

The woman held her handkerchief and nodded with a smile, saying, "Young girl is really thoughtful."

Rong Feiyan smiled: "After talking for so long, I still haven't asked my mother for her last name."

"Girl, you're welcome. My little wife's surname is Tao. Her natal family is Wuling Township, Xiangzhou."

the woman said.

Rong Feiyan blinked and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "No wonder Sister Zhang recommended you to come!"

Hearing this, the smile on the woman's face became brighter and brighter, knowing that Rong Feiyan was a knowledgeable person who knew her family's origins.

At this time,

"Hahaha! Okay! They actually came to Bianjing!"

"Come! Just let them come!"

In the front hall not far away, Rongxian's laughter and talking came.

Rong Feiyan glanced at Ningxiang beside her: "Go and ask my brother why he is so happy! Also, ask how many people are coming so that the family can be prepared."

"Yes, girl."

After saying that, Rong Feiyan accompanied Tao's mother into the inner courtyard.

Mother Tao was walking in the yard while looking at the hall that had been cleared out of the yard.

Seeing the woman's thoughtful look, Rong Feiyan said, "Mother Tao, is there anything wrong?"

Tao's mother nodded and said: "In this room, there is a table."

Following Mama Tao's instructions, several female envoys rearranged the tables so that there was an extra table in the hall.

After walking away again, Tao’s mother said:

"Miss Rong, I see that there will be many guests coming to the inner courtyard tomorrow, but there is not enough room to change clothes."

Rong Feiyan looked at it and nodded repeatedly: "What should we do?"

Tao's mother smiled and said: "In the dressing yard, use cloth to separate a few places to burn incense, spread oilcloth on the ground, put a drowning vessel, and have someone clean it again and again."

Rong Feiyan nodded: "Where are you?"

Tao's mother: "Of course I have it. It can be delivered at noon."

"Thank you for taking a look, otherwise something would have happened."

Rong Feiyan said in a sincere tone.

"Miss Rong, you're welcome. That little woman."

When Tao's mother was about to leave, Ningxiang walked over quickly, bowed and said, "Girl, the female officer beside Concubine Rong is here with the nuns from the palace."

"Please! Please come quickly! Mother Tao, you"

"Miss Rong, can the young lady be allowed to follow the nuns in the palace to see and learn more?"

"Of course it's okay."

With that said, everyone walked towards the front hall.

on the road,

Ningxiang said a few words in Rong Feiyan's ear.

"He came in person?"

"No girl, it was Qingyun who was next to Wulang who said it."

The eighth day of October,

It is advisable to marry,

Late Yin time (5 a.m.)

In the inner courtyard of the Xu family,

Mrs. Sun looked at her youngest son's dress, shook his head and said: "Change your clothes, why are you dressed so handsome! You are the best man, not the groom!"
