Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

British government,

The main hall in the backyard,

The British princess sat on the chair at the top, and standing beside her was the fifth daughter of the Zhang family, who was smiling and her shy expression had softened a lot.

The chair on the lower left side,

Zheng Xiao, who is the oldest in chronological order, sits at the front, followed by Gu Tingye and Xu Zaijing.

On the right are three young men who are younger than Xu Zaijing. These three are the sons of the Zhang family's eldest son and Erlang, and the nephews of Wu Niang.

"Brother Ye and Brother Jing rarely come to my house. When everyone is here, Brother Xiao, you and your three nephews will accompany the guests."

"Yes, Grandma."

"Yes, ma'am."

Brother Zhang and Zheng Xiao nodded in agreement.

Xu Zaijing, who was sitting outside, saw Zheng Xiao nodding in agreement, and the five mothers of the Zhang family who were standing next to the British princess looked over naturally.

After Zheng Xiao finished speaking, Wu Niang looked away again.

Seeing this scene, Xu Zaijing raised the corners of his mouth and showed a smile.

The standing Wu Niang of the Zhang family had a good view. Looking at Xu Zaijing's knowing eyes and joking smile, Wu Niang felt quite embarrassed.

The Wuniang of the Zhang family visited the Xu family when she was a child because of Pingmei's affairs. When she was growing up, she also had a good relationship with Pingmei and Anmei.

The two sisters came to Zhang's house more often than Xu Zaijing.

Therefore, Wu Niang looked at Xu Zaijing more like she was looking at an older brother, and Zheng Xiao, who grew up with her childhood sweetheart, had a completely different feeling.

Seeing Xu Zaijing smiling and talking to Gu Tingye, the five ladies of the Zhang family raised their lips slightly when they knew that Chai Zhengzheng and Rong Feiyan were coming today.

At this time,

The cotton curtain in the main hall was opened. The Zhang family's female envoy entered the room and bowed, saying, "Madam, Young Master Lu is here."

The British princess smiled and nodded and looked at Xu Zaijing.

As soon as he finished speaking, the cotton curtain shook again, and a young man stepped in.

After walking a few steps, Lu Zezong bowed and said, "Madam Jin An, fifth sister Zhuang An."

Turning slightly sideways, he continued: "Second brother Zheng, second brother Gu, sworn brother."

The British princess smiled and waved her hand: "Brother Zong, you are a good boy, please sit down quickly!"

Lu Zezong smiled and sat down under Xu Zaijing.

"Brother Zong, is your sister here?" Wu Niang asked with a smile.

Lu Zezong shook his head: "On the way here, we met the carriages of the Chai family and the Rong family. The sisters raised the curtains of the carriage and talked for a while, then fell behind."

"Oh! Does that mean they are going to come to my house together?"

"yes."

"Mother, then, my daughter will go and greet her first."

The British duchess smiled and nodded, saying: "Go!"

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to signal: "Children have tea."

The fifth lady of the Zhang family smiled, bowed to Xu Zaijing and the other four, and then walked out with her personal maid.

“Good tea!”

Zheng Xiao picked up the tea cup and took a sip before saying.

As he spoke, Zheng Xiao turned sideways and looked at Gu Tingye, Xu Zaijing and Lu Zezong as if asking for advice.

After seeing Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye nodding, Zheng Xiao glanced at the back of Zhang family Wu Niang who was walking out across the cotton curtain with her head lowered.

Lu Zezong, who was sitting under Xu Zaijing and closer to the door, glanced at Zheng Xiao, then looked sideways at Wuniang intelligently, and then looked at Xu Zaijing, who was smiling beside him.

"cough."

When he turned sideways and put down the tea cup, Zheng Xiao cleared his throat.

Gu Tingye glanced at Zheng Xiao with some confusion and asked with his eyes: 'Brother Zheng, what's wrong? ’

Xu Zaijing took another sip from the tea cup, looked at Zheng Xiao's appearance, and after thinking for a moment, he put down the tea cup and said, "Brother Zheng, why don't we go out and stroll around the garden now?"

Zheng Xiao gave Xu Zaijing a thumbs up in his heart, looked sideways at the British father-in-law and said, "Madam, how about we go for a walk in the yard?"

The British princess smiled and nodded, and said to her three grandchildren, "Brother Shou, you three can go too."

"Yes, Grandma."

Seven or eight people stood up, said goodbye and left the main hall.

Mrs. Lian Guogong had a good relationship with the British father-in-law. At that time, the Lu family, the sworn brothers of Xu Zaijing and Lu Zezong, still entrusted the British father-in-law.

So Lu Zezong often came to the Zhang family with his grandmother, and he was no stranger to these brothers from the Zhang family. The four of them were smiling and talking in front of them.

Gu Tingye and Xu Zaijing walked side by side, and whispered with a somewhat annoyed expression: "Brother Jing, is it because there are female relatives coming to visit the British princess, so Brother Zheng gave us a wink?"

Xu Zaijing smiled and whispered: "What else?"

"Alas!" Gu Tingye sighed: "I didn't even turn a corner."

"Uncle Xu," Brother Zhang Shengshou shouted while standing next to Lu Zongze. Before he could speak, Xu Zaijing laughed and said, "Don't call me uncle, you'll make me old!"

"If Brother Zong is here, you call me brother. If your little aunt is here, call me uncle."

Gu Tingye smiled and said, "Me too."

Xu Zaijing glanced at Zheng Xiao who finally walked out of the front hall, and said with a smile: "Brother Zheng is different."

Listening to their words, the three Zhang brothers all smiled and nodded.

"Brother Xu Wu, I heard from Brother Zong that you rode a dragon colt today? Can we go and have a look first?" Zhang Shengshou said.

"What's wrong with this?" Xu Zaijing laughed.

Zheng Xiao, who was following behind, shook his head helplessly and said, "You want to see us. Look at the Zhang family's yard. Why are you guys still thinking about Long Ju?"

Not knowing what he thought of, Zheng Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "Oh! Let's go and have a look."

Talking

A group of seven or eight people, together with their respective maids and servants, walked along the corridor towards the Zhang family stables.

Talking on the road,

Only then did Xu Zaijing find out that Wu Niang's nephews and nieces were all of the generation with the character for 'sage', and the boys' names all had the character for 'cun'.

Everyone walked down the corridor to the second door

I saw a row of luxurious carriages coming from the direction of the gate.

The fifth lady of the Zhang family looked at the people approaching and said in surprise: "Why are you here?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Zheng Xiao who was looking at her in the crowd.

"Auntie, let's go see the horses!"

"You guys really... go quickly!" Wu Niang frowned and shook her head.

"Xu~"

The first carriage with a wooden sign with the word "Lu" on it had stopped.

The curtain was opened, and the three girls from the Lu family stepped out of the carriage one after another.

The first girl to get off the carriage looked at Lu Zezong among the crowd and said, "Brother, what are you going to do?"

While asking questions, the Lu girl squatted down towards Xu Zaijing and others and saluted.

When Xu Zaijing and others returned the gift, Lu Zezong said: "Second sister, let's go see the horses."

"Be careful when it's cold." Another girl from the Lu family standing aside said.

"Yes, big sister."

Lu Zezong cupped his hands and nodded.

The three girls nodded to everyone and greeted them again, then walked towards Wu Niang at the door.

At this time,

A gust of wind blew up,

Xu Zaijing and others quickly raised their hands to cover the snow that had fallen on the roof and walls.

Looking at the other carriages behind,

Zheng Xiao glanced at the fifth lady of the Zhang family who ignored him, stretched out her hand and said, "Let's go to the corner gate over there, so we won't meet the carriage behind."

Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye nodded and led people towards this side.

When Chai Zhengzheng got out of the carriage, he looked sideways and saw only a few female servants in cloaks not far away who had not yet entered the stable yard.

When Xu Zaijing and others accompanied the Zhang family brother to see the dragon colt,

Chai Zhengzheng and others had already entered the backyard and outside the main hall.

"Ah? Zhengzheng, that object is made of a snow lion. Is it really so magical?"

The fifth lady of the Zhang family asked curiously.

The girl from the Lu family said, "Yes! Fifth sister, you will know after seeing her."

Gu Tingyi smiled and said: "Fifth sister, I have a molded one at home, not far away. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Chai Zhengzheng shook his head and said: "Sister Tingyi, there is no need to go to your house, I brought a set here today!"

Rong Feiyan looked at Chai Zhengzheng in surprise and asked, "Sister Chai, how did you get this style?"

As soon as Rong Feiyan's question came up,

A girl from the Lu family wearing a cloak in the crowd had a shy look on her face.

Chai Zhengzheng looked at Rong Feiyan with a smile on his face, then looked at the girl from the Lu family, and said, "My family is also blessed by the sister of the Lu family, and we have obtained a few sets."

Rong Feiyan knew that the Chai family and the Lu family were discussing marriage. After hearing this, her heart changed and she nodded with a smile.

After everyone finished speaking, the fifth lady of the Zhang family smiled and said, "Shall we give it a try later?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several ladies had expressions of eagerness to try.

In their respective homes, they watched their brothers and boys pile snow, but they didn't get much started.

Enter the hall,

After everyone saluted and said hello, they talked to the British princess and several eldest ladies of the Zhang family.

The fifth lady of the Zhang family sat beside Gu Tingyi, frowning and said:

"Mother, you should talk about those boys Zhang Shengshou! These boys took Brother Xu Wu and the others to the garden, and they actually headed outside the second door first! They almost bumped into his aunts getting off the carriage just now!"

Hearing being called 'aunt', several girls present laughed.

Please...you...collect_6_9_书_Bar (Six//Nine//Books//Bar)

The three mothers of Zhang Shengshou present also nodded in agreement.

Chai Zhengzheng, who had a red flower on his brow, looked outside curiously.

When Chai Zhengzheng looked outside, he also noticed that Rong Feiyan, who had taken off his hooded cloak, was wearing dark clothes today, but not the goose-yellow headband.

After saying a few more words,

"Miss Yu is here."

The female messenger outside the house is preaching.

soon,

Yu Yanran brought her female envoy into the house, bowed to everyone, and said with an apologetic look: "I'm a little late. I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."

Gu Tingyi stood up with a smile, walked to Yu Yanran, and said with a smile: "Sister Yanran, the banquet hasn't started yet! It's not too late."

The fifth lady of the Zhang family took advantage of Gu Tingyi to stand up, smiled and raised her eyebrows with Chai Zhengzheng, with a look in her eyes that Chai Zhengzheng couldn't understand.

The British duchess smiled and nodded, and then looked at each other with her four daughters-in-law without meaning.

After chatting for a few more words,

The British princess stood up with her four daughters-in-law and said with a smile: "We still have something to do! Fifth Mother, stay with your good sisters."

The fifth lady of the Zhang family smiled and said, "Yes, mother!"

Chai Zhengzheng and others stood up and bowed, saying: "Madam, please go slowly."

"Okay, you guys sit down."

The British duchess smiled, waved her hands, and led her daughters-in-law out of the hall.

"Let's go to my courtyard! Let's have a good time." Zhang Jiawu Niang said with a big wave of her hand.

Out of the hall,

Go to the verandah of Wuniang Courtyard,

The personal maid of the Zhang family's Wuniang was at the front to lead the way.

However, Wu Niang herself was pulled by Chai Zhengzheng and walked at the back of the crowd.

Looking at Gu Tingyi holding Yu Yanran's arm in front of him, Chai Zhengzheng whispered: "Wuniang, what did you mean when you looked at me just now? I didn't understand!"

The fifth lady of the Zhang family looked around, smiled and whispered: "Zhengzheng, I heard from my sister-in-law that Mrs. Bai of the Gu family is asking about the Yu family."

Chai Zhengzheng's eyes widened when he heard the gossip. After hearing it, he hurriedly said: "Wuniang, you mean the Gu family and the Yu family?"

Wu Niang nodded slightly: "Sister-in-law told me not to spread the word, Zhengzheng, please don't spread it!"

"Yeah!" Chai Zhengzheng nodded.

At this time,

Rong Feiyan, who was walking in front, stretched out her white palms from the wide sleeves of her dark cloak, looked at the snowflakes flying down from the sky not far away, and said in surprise: "Ah, it's snowing again!"

Everyone walking looked outside the corridor, and there were sounds of surprise one after another.

Around noon,

In the reception hall in the front yard,

Xu Zaijing and others were already sitting at the table.

The wine collection and cooking skills of the Tea and Wine Department of Guogong Mansion are naturally outstanding.

Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye were so excited that they nodded.

Although the three children of the Zhang family, Zhang Shengshou/Xun/Wei, were accompanying the table, the most important ones were Zheng Xiao and Zhang Shengshou.

"Brother Xu Wu, what did my father look like when you saw him in Beizhou?" Zhang Shengshou asked, holding up the fruit wine.

Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye looked at each other, and when they were about to speak,

"Shou'er, how can you call me brother Zai Jing?"

Behind the screen, there was a thick sound coming from outside the hall.

Everyone at the table stood up one after another.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he looked behind the screen.

soon,

The British male came out from behind the screen with a few snowflakes on his body.

"I've met the Duke!"

"grandfather!"

Xu Zaijing and others bowed and saluted.

Zhang Shengshou's three children shouted in admiration.

The British Duke smiled and waved his hand and said: "Brother Xiao, Brother Ye and Brother Xiao Zong are all here! Boys, sit down! Zai Jing, you sit down too."

Everyone agreed.

Afterwards, the British father stood and smiled at Qingcao, who was walking over with a tray holding a wine pot and wine cup. He filled the wine glass and looked at Xu Zaijing, saying: "Zaijing, come, have a drink with me."

Xu Zaijing hurriedly stood up and clinked his glasses, trying to make the rim of his glass lower than the British Duke's wine cup, but the British Duke grabbed his wrist and said: "Don't be fooled."

As he spoke, the British public raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.

Xu Zaijing hurriedly offered him a drink.

"I heard my uncle say before, Zai Jing, you have been learning to command the cavalry?"

Xu Zaijing bowed in response.

The British Duke smiled and nodded: "Your father is also very successful in commanding the cavalry. You should ask more when you have time."

Xu Zaijing nodded repeatedly: "Yes."

When Zheng Xiao, Gu Tingye and others at the table saw this scene, their eyes almost popped out.

"sit!"

The British Duke waved his hand again.

After filling another cup, he looked at Gu Tingye and said with a smile: "Brother Ye, you are doing a great job in Beizhou!"

Gu Tingye hurriedly raised his glass and said, "Thank you, Duke of Guo, for your compliment."

When Gu Tingye's wine glass was lower than the British male wine glass, the British male calmly touched it with him and drank it all in one gulp.

After filling the third glass, the British public raised his glass and looked at Zheng Xiao with a smile: "Brother Xiao, you fought well in the battle in Texas."

Hearing this, Gu Tingye glanced at Zheng Xiao curiously.

Zheng Xiao's wine glass was almost touching the bottom of the British Duke's glass. He shook his head repeatedly and said: "I can't say that I fought well. There are still many things that can be improved in that battle."

"Well, if you have this idea, you can be a good person!"

As he spoke, the British father drank another gulp.

"Shou'er, you guys stay with brother Xiao Zong."

"Yes, Grandpa!"

"Thank you, Lord."

The British duke waved his hand and said: "Okay, you can play."

After saying that, he turned and left the house.

Everyone hurriedly escorted him to the door.

After coming back,

Gu Tingye sat down, took a chopstick of food, looked at Zheng Xiao and said, "Brother Zheng, haven't you seen the British father since you returned to Beijing?"

Zheng Xiao nodded.

"No wonder I'm praising you here today. It turns out this is the first time I've met you."

After Gu Tingye finished speaking, he took a bite of food and said hesitantly: "When I was talking to the Duke just now, why do I always feel that something is wrong?"

Zheng Xiao glanced at Xu Zaijing and said, "Brother Ye, it should be where your wine glass is, right?"

Gu Tingye shook his head: "That's not it!"

As he said that, Gu Tingye looked at Xu Zaijing with bright eyes: "I know!"
