Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

Chapter 60 Changes in the North

Xu Zaijing returned home and told his two brothers after school in the afternoon what they had seen at General Zheng's house.

Then he sneaked to his eldest sister's Qiongzhi Pavilion.

Pingmei was concentrating on embroidering her green satin wedding dress.

"Sister, there may be distinguished guests coming in a few days."

"Dignified guest? Whose family is this?"

"Belongs to the British Duke Zhang family."

"Ah? Our family is getting married to the Zhang family?"

"Sister, what are you thinking about? Our family has a big business, so we just want to get married."

"Who is that? Lord Pingning is coming?"

"No, it's your little crush." ​​Xu Zaijing said casually.

"What a little fangirl." Ping Mei put down the needle and thread in her hand and looked at Xu Zaijing.

"Today I went to General Zheng's house and met the Fifth Mother of the British Princess. She said that you were commended by the Queen, and the British Princess also praised you full of praise, so she wanted to come and have a look."

"Of course that's fine. When the fifth lady of the Zhang family comes, let Anmei come over to accompany her. Naturally, she won't be treated badly."

"That's good, I'll tell you this so that you won't be in a hurry. By the way, bring us our gold quilt and silver bed. The little girl will definitely like it."

"My little five is smart."

"Sister, is there a female envoy named Qing Zhi in your courtyard?"

Pingmei looked over, stared at Xu Zaijing and said

"Yes, what's wrong? She is the prettiest among the nine little girls chosen by her mother."

"Sister, don't look at me like that, it makes me look like a slut."

"Aren't you? I already knew that the twists and turns in your heart are going around your sister."

"Sister, tell me what I'm thinking! Brother, I haven't said anything yet, but you are so arbitrary."

"It's not like you're careless. If you want to have sex with a girl, you'd better wait a few more years."

"Sister, you are wrong. I won't joke with you anymore. The little girl in my courtyard, Qingcao, is from the same village as the Qingzhi in your courtyard."

"ah?"

"They are all miners' families who suffered a mining accident. I heard from Qingcao that Qingzhi was sold to a dental shop because her sister-in-law was about to give birth. She also had a hard life.

Although I don't want to save all the poor people in the world, I still try my best to be kind to her. "

Pingmei was still for a moment, then said: "Yes, I understand."

In the next few days, Xu Zaijing did not receive an invitation from the British prince, and the fifth daughter of the Zhang family did not come to visit the Xu family.

The air in Bianjing suddenly became tense.

Ansumen and Jinyaomen frequently had stagecoaches coming to Beijing galloping past.

Xu Zaijing and his mother went back to the Sun family once, and the atmosphere in the Sun family was a little tense.

Whether it was Xu Zaijing's grandparents or the aunts who stayed at home, there were no smiles on their faces.

Xu Zaijing wanted to ask his mother, but Mr. Sun refused.

Even the polo club outside Jinmingchi was stopped.

At this time, there was no clear record in the original book or TV series, and Xu Zaijing was not sure what happened.

"Is there something wrong with the emperor's health?"

Xu Zaijing was thinking wildly.

Fortunately, he had Gu Tingyu as his future brother-in-law. When the three brothers of the Xu family came to visit the Gu family, Xu Zaijing got a piece of news from Gu Tingyu.

Lingzhou, the only horse-raising land in the Great Zhou Dynasty, was invaded by the Baigao Kingdom, and Suizhou to the east was also approached by the Northern Liao Kingdom.

Gu Tingyu stood in front of a map of the Great Zhou Dynasty and pointed out the road to Lingzhou to his four younger brothers:

"The newly-in-power empress dowager of the Baigao Kingdom seems to have reached some kind of alliance with Bei Liao, and together they will strangle my horse breeding land in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The intention should be to cut off the source of horses for the Great Zhou cavalry."

Xu Zaiduan looked at the map and said: "Bo Gaoguo and Beiliao are ambitious and want to bite off a piece of meat from Dazhou!"

Gu Tingyu said: "My father has returned to the northern front a few days ago, and the British Duke and Marquis Zhongjing have also gone to the front to take charge of the overall situation. The court will mention this in the Di Bao in the next two days."

"The Western Army is under the greatest pressure." Xu Zaijing said while looking at the map.

"right."

The three brothers of the Xu family became quiet.

Xijun, his father and cousins ​​were all there.

"Our great Zhou Dynasty is so powerful that we will not let Bai Gao succeed."

After Gu Tingyu finished speaking, he continued to look at the map with sharp eyes. There seemed to be war in the north, and the cavalry was killing them.

At a young age, he seemed to have a different demeanor.

But the image did not last for more than a few breaths.

"boom"

The door was pushed open, and the handsome Gu Tingyi walked into his eldest brother's study.

"Big pot, rice."

Gu Tingyu calmed down and said,

Just now he could feel the admiring looks from his younger brothers.

As a result, he was interrupted.

"Okay, let's go have dinner. Mother specially invited the cook from Fan Lou."

"Come on, Sanniang, let's go eat."

Five people surrounded Gu Tingyi and went to the main hall where the Bai family was.

At the dinner table, although Bai was smiling, it could still be seen that she had not slept well. After all, it was the first time for her to experience her husband going out to fight for the country.

On the second day, Gu Tingyu, Xu Zaijing and others arrived at the city wall on the north side of Bianjing. Under the huge city wall, tens of thousands of forbidden troops were standing outside the city with clear banners.

After the leading general, General Lu, went through the process of setting off the army, the emperor gave him a farewell drink, and then tens of thousands of troops headed towards the support of the Western Army.

After getting off the city wall and walking on the street home, Xu Zaijing met Zhang Fangsong, Saburo of the British Government.

The two of them each had their own circle around them. After nodding, they separated.

The war in the north has always attracted the hearts of the residents of Bianjing.

As a noble military officer, I am even more worried.

The number of gatherings of the ladies of the Xungui family has increased significantly.

The Marquis of Yongchang is also a noble family, and the Marquis of Liang also went into battle. Madam Wu said that she went to Yanzhou to supervise the recruitment matters with Prince Yan.

From time to time there are rumors of war in the north.

Some said that the British Duke was defeated, some said that the British Duke was injured, and even more exaggeratedly said that the British Duke was captured.

For a time, the British Duke's Zhang family was in a state of turmoil.

It is also said that Queen Cao's family connected with the Baigao Kingdom and led troops into Lingzhou.

Some people also say that under Lingzhou City, the Bai Gao Kingdom returned from a great defeat.

Some people say that King Yan has reached an agreement with Bei Liao, and he will establish himself as king in Yanzhou.

There was even a rumor that Gu Yankai was blinded by a peck from Haidongqing from the Northern Liao Kingdom.

These rumors were circulating in Bianjing, but when someone looked for them, the news disappeared again.

A few days later, the British Duke Zhang's family invited Xu Zaijing to go hunting outside the city. Xu Zaijing roped in his two brothers and the two brothers Gu Tingyu.

A bunch of people wearing bright clothes and angry horses,

There were even servants holding Hai Dongqing with his dog, talking and laughing loudly along the way.

At first glance, they looked like the dandy bullies of Bianjing, but there was no look of fear on their faces.

In the forest outside the city, Gu Tingyu saw Hai Dongqing killing birds, and his eyes became sad.

"Wu Lang, are you sure you can shoot this Hai Dongqing?"

"If I detect in advance that Hai Dongqing is circling, I can draw my bow and shoot quickly if I am prepared. But if Hai Dongqing attacks suddenly, I am not sure." Xu Zaijing said.

"Dalang, are you afraid that something might happen to Marquis Gu after hearing the rumors?" Zhang Sanlang asked.

Gu Tingyu nodded.

"Don't worry, Dalang. This Hai Dongqing is best at killing birds in the air and attacking people. That's not what it's good at."

Xu Zaijing said from the side: "I heard from the Zheng family brother that Gu Hou once shot down a sea turtle in the north. Brother Yu, don't worry."

Gu Tingyu looked surprised, and Gu Tingye said, "Why haven't I heard dad talk about it?"

Everyone played outside the city until late afternoon and then returned to Bianjing.

On the road, you can also see the post horses and messengers from all directions of the Zhou Dynasty.

"By the way, my fifth wife said that she might go to the Marquis' Mansion to play in the next few days, and I would like to ask some young men to look after her."

Xu Zaiduan said: "That's natural."

For a time, the saying that the British Duke Zhang Jiaerlang was chatting and laughing happily without any fear spread in Bianjing.

The Zhang family in Bianjing is known for its strict family tradition, and their son and son can still be so happy, so there should be no changes in the war in the north.

More than half a month later.

a long distance away

Yangzhou.

Shengjia, Shouantang.

Mrs. Sheng returned to Yangzhou from Youyang a few days ago.

Before I left, I heard that Shulan from the eldest house was imprisoned in the courtyard by my mother, Mrs. Li, and she began to discipline Shulan about her temper. I vowed to train Shulan, a 'wild girl', into a lady.

Sheng Hong came here directly after returning home from the Yamen.

He whispered to Mrs. Sheng

"Mother, there's a war in the north."

When Mrs. Sheng heard this, she did not tremble with fear like ordinary old people, but her eyes shone with light.

"Please tell me in detail."

In the main hall, Fang's mother brought a cup of tea, and Hua Lan greeted her.
