Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi
Chapter 9 Night Talk at the Duke’s Mansion
Xu Zaiduan and Xu Zaizhang were talking about whose riding skills were better at today's polo match. They both had early enlightenment. Although they didn't need to rely on passing the imperial examination to gain a career, they had the status of scholars, and being an official in the current Zhou Dynasty was indeed a blessing. People take a look at it.
The two carriages at the back were filled with Xiaozhu and other Sun's personal maids, and the carriage at the end was filled with the accompanying servants.
About halfway through the journey, the convoy stopped. The maid in the middle car carried the hot soup and tea to the car in front, while another maid came to the back carrying hot soup and tea.
The one who came behind was a personal maid named Xiao Dan. She glanced at the groom with some fear and whispered: "Madam, the weather is still a bit cold in the afternoon, so let the elders drink some tea to warm themselves up." .”
The servants in the mansion naturally thanked him one after another.
The groom shared some hot tea with his own bamboo tube, but did not say thank you. Xiao Dan could not help but glance at the groom's throat, which was surrounded by a scarf. In Xiao Dan's memory, there was a scar there, a knife on the throat. scar.
The groom, who didn’t know what he had gone through, had a scar on his throat but was still alive.
Although the Hou Mansion is not strictly run, matters in the Mansion cannot be discussed casually.
Xiao Dan could only be secretly curious in his heart.
After resting, continue home.
By the time everyone from the Xu family entered the house through the front door, the sky was already getting dark.
After washing, the family sat at the dinner table, and several female envoys stood beside them to serve.
Xu Zaijing, who has become accustomed to the food of this world, is eating like a little pig.
In ancient times, a strong body was an important prerequisite for survival. He didn't want to die because of a cold.
The way he ate with gusto made his brothers and sisters also have appetites.
When it was completely dark, the boy from the outer courtyard came to the door.
"Madam, the master is back. He just dismounted."
"What?" Mrs. Sun was a little surprised, because before her husband came back, he always sent letters a month in advance. Why was there no news this time?
When the children of the Xu family heard this, their eyes were full of joy, because every time their father came back, he always brought a lot of gifts.
Xu Minghua soon washed away his dusty clothes, and when he saw a family of young and old in the hall, the solemn expression on his face was replaced by a smile that came from his heart.
The butler behind him held several leather bags.
Sun stood up but didn't ask any more questions.
Xu Zaiduan and the other children looked happily at the leather bags.
Needless to say, the Xu family is happy.
Xingguofang.
Princess Pingning returned to her mansion. Duke Qi was a top nobleman in the Great Zhou Dynasty and had complicated affairs. The old Duke was still alive, and the princess's husband already had an errand.
The princess came to the yard of her parents-in-law after bathing and changing clothes. Although the princess had a distinguished status, she could not afford to lose the etiquette of her daughter-in-law.
Normally, the Duke's wife would not let the princess really follow the rules and do the service.
Everyone sat down, and just as the envoy put a piece of fish soup on the table, Princess Pingning's expression changed and she quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief.
The female officer on the side saw this and hurried over.
"What's going on?" the Duke's wife hurriedly asked.
The princess put down her handkerchief and shook her head. Before she could speak, another wave of nausea rose into her throat.
The old Duke looked worried, then he glanced at the Duke's wife beside him, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
He turned to look at his son and said, "Why don't you go ask the doctor soon!"
The second son of the Qi family was stunned.
"Yes, father."
But the princess, who felt a little uncomfortable, hadn't thought of anything yet.
The female officer on the side didn't say much. If she was really happy, the imperial doctor would be able to tell. But if she made a decision and made the princess happy in vain, she would reap the rewards.
When Xu Zaijing was opening his gift bag, there was a bang in the sky above the city.
Someone reported outside that someone was setting off fireworks.
Xu Minghua took a look and said
"Which family is having a happy event?"
His children glanced at it and didn't care, because they were all focused on their gifts.
Xu Zaijing's gift was a small bow with twelve pocket feather arrows.
His older siblings were in furs and stationery.
Xu Minghua stood behind his youngest son, correcting his bow-drawing posture and talking to him about some technical points.
Sun, who is also the daughter of a military general, said on the sidelines
"Officials, please be careful, don't let the bow string scratch Jing'er's hand."
"It's okay, this bow isn't that powerful."
Xu Zaijing in his arms was carefully pulling the bow, because he found that even though he only used a trace of strength, the bow was almost broken by him.
Xu Zaijing pursed his lips carefully and exerted force, but Xu Minghua thought he pursed his lips and gritted his teeth.
"Snapped"
The arrow that was shot successfully hit the back of the chair not far away.
Xu Minghua laughed happily.
"Brother Jing, come again, come again."
The family had some fun and then went back to their homes.
Xu Zaijing was still young and did not have his own yard. He was coaxed to sleep and carried elsewhere by his wet nurse.
Mrs. Sun did not ask her husband why he came back so suddenly this time. If there was a specific reason, he would naturally explain it clearly to her. However, sometimes it is difficult to explain clearly when it is a matter of confidentiality.
Xingguofang
The Duke's Mansion of Qi State,
The imperial doctor has just confirmed that Princess Pingning is pregnant.
The old Duke and his wife were so sad and happy that they naturally notified the government and set off fireworks to celebrate.
He even sent people to the palace to announce the good news to the emperor and empress.
After dinner, everyone returned to their respective courtyards.
In front of the bed, Princess Pingning was preparing to go to bed, but she suddenly thought of what happened on the polo field today.
Princess Pingning looked at her cautious husband amusedly, with a smile on her face.
She held her husband's hand and said
"My lord, something magical happened on the polo field today."
The young father-in-law looked at his eldest wife with some strangeness. His eldest wife was born as a princess and had seen many things in the palace, but he actually found something strange!
"Oh? What makes you feel magical?"
Etiquette is for outsiders to see, but in their own room, the husband and wife are harmonious and happy, just like ordinary people.
Princess Pingning said: "Today on a whim at the polo field, I had a conversation with the eldest lady of Yongyi Hou Mansion. Her youngest son, named Brother Jing, drank tea and wanted to put the tea cup back on the table by herself. The female official Slow down, slow down, what do you think Brother Jing said?"
"Well, can I do it myself?"
"no!"
"Want you to mind your own business?"
"How could someone be so rude?"
Princess Pingning gave her official a cute pat.
"Can mom please help me?"
"No."
"Then I really didn't expect it."
"Hahaha."
Speaking of Xu Zaijing, Princess Pingning felt a little happy from the bottom of her heart.
Seeing his wife laughing so much made the young father-in-law even more curious.
"Say it quickly."
"This is what Brother Jing said"
The princess looked at her officials with wide eyes,
Then he said:
"Then brother Xiao Jing said this: Mom, mama, speak more slowly, because the princess aunt and the Wu family aunt have a baby."
"Oh? There is such a strange thing!" The young father-in-law also looked surprised.
"Now that I think about it, the blue robe that Brother Jing is wearing has a lovely unicorn embroidered on it," the princess said.
"Qilin sends his son, this has been going on since ancient times. Could it be that you have something in your belly?"
"Shut up, shut up, don't jump to conclusions."
Princess Pingning said quickly.
If she could give birth to a son, the mountainous property of the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion brought by the princess would have an heir, and the Duke of Qi's Mansion would also have hope in the future.
The latter represents that the people supported and cultivated by the Marquis and the Duke of Guo have people to continue to cooperate and communicate with.
"Okay, don't say it, don't say it. We have indeed inherited someone else's blessing unintentionally."
"Yes, yes, I just want to find a chance to repay you.
correct.
In two years, it will be His Majesty’s birthday or a whole birthday. Although my parents must be prepared, we are already married, but we still have to have our own things. "
"Don't worry, I've already started preparations."
