Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

Inside the house,

Beside the banquet,

Looking at Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye entering the house, Zheng Xiao stood up to greet them.

Looking at Gu Tingye and then at Xu Zaijing, Zheng Xiao looked at Xu Zaijing's hair in confusion and stretched out his hand and said:

"Jing'er, how come you have these snowflakes on your head when you change your clothes?"

Xu Zaijing stretched out his hand and brushed his head and said: "Why, there are more?"

Gu Tingye looked over and nodded with a smile.

Afterwards, Xu Zaijing lowered his head slightly and let Zheng Xiao pat his hair. Looking at the snowflakes falling in front of him and about to melt, he smiled helplessly.

"Did you two have a snowball fight?" Seeing Zheng Xiao's puzzled look, Gu Tingye shook his head and said, "No! Just now, Wu Lang and I passed by the garden gate and met my sister and other girls who were enjoying the snow in the garden."

"They are all ladies from noble families, but they threw snowballs at us like crazy girls. If Wu Lang hadn't stopped me."

Xu Zaijing shook his head and said, "Brother Ye, if I didn't stop you, what could you do? They and the maids all have snow tongs in their hands, what can we do?"

Gu Tingye thought for a moment and nodded, "Wu Lang is right."

The three of them sat down again.

After Lu Zezong and his friends at the table whispered for a few words, he said: "Brother, Shou Ge'er said that they also have snow tongs in their room, if you two brothers need them."

Xu Zaijing smiled and touched Lu Zezong's little head and said: "No need!"

Looking at the expressions of the three young people of the Zhang family, Gu Tingye said: "Why do you three look a little disappointed?"

Zheng Xiao on the side turned his head and waved to the maid standing beside him to indicate that the main course should be served. He turned back and smiled: "Wu Niang and Shou Ge'er were playing around, relying on their age, such as playing snowballs, and they were always merciless. They were bullied a lot."

Looking at the laughing Xu Zaijing and the other three at the table, the young people of the Zhang family lowered their heads a little embarrassedly.

"Young Master."

Qingcao took the bowl of dandan brought by the Zhang family maid and placed it in front of Xu Zaijing.

After Xu Zaijing ate a few with a spoon, he said, "Brother Shou, you guys are so ungrateful!"

The three Zhang family juniors looked at each other, and the oldest brother Shou nodded and said, "Brother Xu Wu is right, we are from the Duke's Mansion."

Xu Zaijing smiled and waved his hands: "Hey! That's not what I meant!"

Looking at the puzzled people at the table, Xu Zaijing smiled at the Zhang family juniors and continued, "I mean, some people dream about it day and night. What they want is to be like you, often bullied by your little aunt."

"Hmph."

Gu Tingye smiled with a piece of dough in his mouth.

Lu Zezong, Zhang Shengshou and other younger ones were stunned, and then looked at Zheng Xiao and nodded repeatedly.

Zheng Xiao looked at Xu Zaijing helplessly. Before he could say anything, Xu Zaijing said, "Hey! Second Brother Zheng, I didn't mention any names!"

"Eat your glutinous rice cakes, kid!"

"Hey!"

In the afternoon,

after everyone had enough food and drink, they said goodbye to the Duke of England and his wife and left.

The noble ladies who came to visit the Zhang family also said goodbye one after another.

At this time,

the snow that had stopped had started to fall again.

When leaving the Zhang family, Lu Zezong did not take a carriage, but got into Xu Zaijing's cloak and rode a dragon horse with his brother.

Because the homes of Zheng Xiao and Gu Tingye were nearby,

the route for the three families of Lu, Chai, and Rong to return home was to go east first and then north, which was very convenient.

So the carriages beside Xu Zaijing included not only the Lu family, but also the Chai family and the Rong family.

After Xu Zaijing and the other carriages and horses left Xingguofang in the light snow,

In a carriage,

the second girl of the Lu family lifted the curtain, looked at Xu Zaijing who was riding in the snow, and said: "Brother Xu Wu, let Brother Zong get in the carriage."

In the cloak that Xu Zaijing was wearing, Lu Zezong only pulled open a slit and looked out and said: "Sister, I will ride for a while!"

"Brother Zong, what did you say at the gate of Zhang's house?"

"Sister, I will ride for a while, and I will get on the carriage after passing the Imperial Street!"

The carriage was quiet for a while, and the second girl of the Lu family said: "Okay! Don't break your promise again!"

"Thank you, sister."

The second girl of the Lu family smiled at Xu Zaijing, nodded and lowered the curtain.

After a while,

Xu Zaijing rode past the wide north-south Imperial Street.

Looking north from the roadside,

he could see Xuande Gate in the hazy snow in the distance. The palace wall had turned black.

He could also see the flags on the palace wall fluttering in the north wind.

The tall city gate roof had turned white, and even the animals on the eaves were mostly covered by snow.

The snow and the palace always have a different charm.

Lu Zezong had already boarded the carriage.

After lifting the curtain, he waved to Xu Zaijing and said, "Brother, I'm leaving first."

Xu Zaijing smiled and nodded, "Come home earlier before the New Year."

"Hey!"

The Lu family carriage passed by,

and the wheels pressed the snow, and the sound of the past was much smaller.

Xu Zaijing still stopped his horse at the roadside.

The Chai family carriage that passed by stopped.

Chai Zhengzheng, who had a flower ornament on her forehead, lifted the curtain and looked at Xu Zaijing who was still standing straight in the wind and snow. She smiled apologetically and said, "Brother Xu Wu, I didn't mean to make that snowball."

"Hmph."

In the Chai family carriage, the voice of Chai Zhengzheng's personal maid came out to suppress her laughter.

Xu Zaijing, who was wearing a fur hat, smiled, nodded and said, "Yes! Miss Zhengzheng, those two snowballs have very strong hands."

Hearing this,

Chai Zhengzheng was stunned, glanced at Xu Zaijing very embarrassed, lowered his head and said: "Next time, I."

"Do you still want to do it next time?"

Xu Zaijing smiled.

"Yeah!" Chai Zhengzheng nodded, then quickly shook his head as his mind changed: "No, I mean."

Looking at Xu Zaijing's bright eyes with a smile on his face, Chai Zhengzheng panicked and said, "I don't mean anything else."

Xu Zaijing smiled and nodded: "Understood."

Upon hearing this, Chai Zhengzheng nodded, looked at Xu Zaijing and said, "Brother Xu Wu, I'll take my leave first."

"good."

Chai Zhengzheng glanced at Xu Zaijing who was speaking again, smiled at the grass covering the curtains in the Xu family's carriage, and then lowered the curtains in his hands.

The carriage walked a few steps,

The snowy weather made the car a little dark.

Chai Zhengzheng looked at the three personal maids in the car and said, "When I threw the snowball at the British Duke's Mansion, did I use a lot of force?"

The three female envoys nodded in unison, and Yun Mu said: "Girl, look at the way the snowball smashed on Brother Xu's head, it was quite hard."

Chai Zhengzheng nodded, patted his leg slightly depressed, and said, "It's all my fault, Sister Tingyi! She was the one who started it."

The three female envoys in the car looked at each other with smiles and said nothing.

Following the Chai family’s carriage,

The Rong family carriage also stopped in front of Xu Zaijing.

The female envoy Yun Mu opened the curtains of the carriage and smiled at Xu Zaijing. Rong Feiyan's fair and soft face appeared at the carriage window.

It's snowing now,

The Chai family's carriage has gone a few steps,

There is no carriage accompanying the Rong family either.

There were not many people on the Imperial Street.

In such an environment, despite the words of the two personal maids, there was actually a sense of tranquility.

I don’t know if it was because of this environment or the fruit wine she drank at the British Government House that emboldened her.

Rong Feiyan was sitting in the carriage, looking straight at Xu Zaijing in the wind and snow, without saying a word.

The two looked at each other for a moment,

The maid walked carefully and frowned at her girl's appearance. She felt anxious and wanted to lower the car curtains.

At this time,

Xu Zaijing looked at Rong Feiyan and smiled and said, "Miss Feiyan, you don't want to apologize to me for throwing snowballs, right?"

Hearing this,

He didn't lower the car curtains even though he was careful.

There was also a hint of shyness in Rong Feiyan's eyes, and her whole state also changed slightly. She seemed to have become more sober. She looked at Xu Zaijing outside the car and shook her head, saying: "You'd better stop riding, be careful of causing the cold." ”

Xu Zaijing shook the clothes on his body and said, "It's okay. My cloak is very good. I'm not afraid of wind and snow."

Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\\\\Nine\\\\\\Book\\\\\\!)

Rong Feiyan suppressed her shyness, nodded gently with lowered eyebrows, and said, "Yes, your cloak was given by the Queen, so it's naturally very good."

The air became slightly quiet, and Xu Zaijing asked, "How is your sister-in-law, Mrs. Dou?"

"Well, good! The tool for shaping the snow lion is unique and very good!"

"Thank you very much for the compliment, Miss Feiyan."

After saying that, Rong Feiyan pursed her lips and said, "Brother Xu Wu, have a nice trip."

Xu Zaijing looked in the direction of the wine flags fluttering in the wind in front of the restaurant not far away from him, and said with a smile: "With Miss Feiyan's good words, I hope it will be a smooth journey today."

Hearing this different reply, Rong Feiyan was stunned.

She raised her head and looked at Xu Zaijing in surprise. When she saw the direction of the wine flag flying beside Xu Zaijing, Rong Feiyan pursed her lips and smiled before nodding goodbye.

The maid Xinbu lowered the car curtains with a lingering fear on her face, and said urgently in a low voice: "Girl, what happened to you just now?"

Rong Feiyan, who was sitting in the middle, took a few deep breaths, shook his head and said, "It's nothing!"

She looked at the blush on Rong Feiyan's fair cheeks carefully, and looked at Ningxiang helplessly at the side.

Looking at the eyes of the two maids,

Only then did Rong Feiyan feel that her earlobes and cheeks were a little hot.

Then she held her face with both hands, feeling the heat of her hands, Rong Feiyan said: "Just now, just now when I was talking to him."

Xinbu smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, girl, you only started to blush after you lowered the car curtains."

Rong Feiyan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

After a while,

Recalling the conversation, Rong Feiyan said: "Oh! What I said just now were all nonsense!"

Ningxiang smiled and said, "Girl, it's already too late for you to say it now."

Rong Feiyan frowned, covered her face with her hands in shame, and said, "I will never go to his gathering in the future. It's really, really embarrassing!"

"Yes, girl!" Xibu responded with a smile.

On the way back to Quyuan Street,

"Master!"

Qingyun's voice came from behind,

Xu Zaijing looked back,

Looking at Qingyun who was riding a horse behind him, wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat, he said: "Didn't you go to Yichun Lane to pick up Taofu New Year paintings and other items? Why did you come from the direction of Xingguofang?"

"Xu~"

Qingyun slowed down his horse beside Xu Zaijing and walked in front of Xu Zaijing. He turned around and said, "Master, I was a little worried about you, so I hurried over."

The horse caught up, and Xu Zaijing saw Qingyun riding the horse. The figure under the raincoat was a bit bloated.

"Qingyun, are you wearing armor? What's going on?"

Qingyun nodded, and while looking around vigilantly, he said, "Sir, I discovered this when I was packing up the peach charms and other things after returning to the Hou Mansion from Yichun Lane."

Saying,

Qingyun handed over a purse.

Xu Zaijing reached out from under his cloak and took it, then pulled out a note from his purse.

Looking at the four words 'be careful' in beautiful handwriting on the note, Xu Zaijing narrowed his eyes slightly and put the note back into his wallet.

"Where did you get this purse?"

Xu Zaijing asked, looking at the embroidery work on his purse.

Qingyun shook his head: "I don't know."

"Have you ever told anyone from the Imperial City Department?"

"Sir, I have already told you, but I only said that someone warned me, and the purse was not given to the officials of the Imperial City Department. I also told my uncle, and he only said that he asked me to come to you."

Xu Zaijing nodded.

night,

Yong Yi Hou Mansion,

The wooden house next to the racecourse,

The lantern under the eaves swayed gently, making the snow lion next to the wooden house flicker.

In the wooden house,

The stove is roaring,

There was no food or drink on the table under the candlelight by the fire.

Zhao Meifeng gently placed the note on the table, looked at Xu Zaijing beside him, and said, "Brother Jing, this is what I thought of when I saw this thing."

Xu Zaijing nodded: "Brother Zhao, as you said, tell me the identity of the person who warned me."

Zhaomeifeng waved his hand and said: "Brother Jing, Qingyun discovered the wallet! Whether it is a warning to you or not is still open to debate."

Xu Zaijing was stunned and said: "Brother Zhao, are you saying that someone might be warning Qingyun?"

Qingyun looked at Zhaomeifeng in confusion: "Give it to me?"

Zhaotaifeng nodded.

Xu Zaijing looked at the note thoughtfully, then looked at Qingyun beside him, and lowered his head.

"Brother Jing, how about it? What can you possibly think of?"

Zhaomeifeng asked.

Xu Zaijing did not raise his eyes to look at Zhaomeifeng. He stared at the note and shook his head: "Let me think about it."

Zhaomeifeng glanced at Qingyun: "Qingyun, did you have any good relationships before you entered the Marquis' Mansion?"

"If we follow this line, maybe we can find something."

Qingyun frowned and looked at Xu Zaijing without saying anything.

Zhao Meifeng looked at Xu Zaijing, who was looking down at him, and Qingyun, who was silent, and said, "Brother Jing, what, is there something hidden?"

Xu Zaijing then raised his head and looked at Zhaomeifeng and said, "Well, if I think about it from Qingyun, I've probably guessed something, but"

"Brother Zhao, wait."

After saying that, Xu Zaijing stood up, opened the door and walked out.

On the way from the cabin to the stables, the snow had been swept aside.

Xu Zaijing walked along the road and entered the cold stable.

Under the lantern light, looking at Alan and Xun Shu who were feeding the horses essence, Xu Zaijing waved and said:

"Alan, looking for books, you go out first."

"Yes, sir!"

Alan and the others put down their things, caressed their chests and bowed before leaving the stable.

Xu Zaijing took a deep breath and walked towards a stable room in the stable.

in the stable,

Xu Zaijing's master, Uncle Yin, was gently caressing Li Ju's big belly. When he heard the sound of walking, he looked back at Xu Zaijing who appeared by the wooden railing of the stable.

Uncle Yin sighed with sadness in his eyes.
