Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

"When Bei Liao comes to kill you, tell the Bei Liao soldiers that I want you to have a good year, can't you?"

"You are using strong words to make sense!"

As a result, the senior officials in the court started arguing with each other again.

The emperor didn't say anything. He saw that everyone was noisy, then he glanced at the admonisher and said:

"Ruan Qing, does your participation in playing Xu Qing have anything to do with your youngest son's marriage?"

"Your Majesty! No."

The admonisher's face was stunned. Naturally, the marriage to his youngest son had nothing to do with it, but the marriage of his relative's youngest son was affected!

"That's good. Where are the people from the group of pastoral supervisors?" the emperor asked.

"My lord, Yuan Bingkai is here."

"Okay, oh! You are there! How is the supply of horses for the court?"

"Return to Your Majesty"

The court meeting ended harmoniously with some questions from the emperor.

Uncle Zhongqin Yuan Bing came down from the court and sat in the carriage, thinking about the gains and losses at work.

When he was a child, he experienced the Yuan family being deposed and demoted to civilians.

At that time, the wolf-like sergeant rushed into Yuan's house, leaving an indelible mark on his heart.

When he was a teenager, the Yuan family was also a noble man, and he was also a noble son. There was no need to do anything about eating and dressing himself!

But once the family was demoted, it was like falling from the clouds to the mud.

He and his father's concubines climbed up the high branches again through their beauty.

But the Yuan family was miserable.

The ancients said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality!

The Yuan family struggled to survive in Bianjing and suffered a lot.

Later, when Yuan Bingkai got married as an adult, his wife was also a bitter, short-sighted and selfish legitimate daughter.

Fortunately, the emperor of this dynasty ascended the throne, and the emperor was magnanimous and restored the title of the Yuan family. Yuan Bingkai used the skills passed down from his family to get a position in Ma Zhengyamen.

Let Yuan Bingkai become a noble, an official, and a master again.

Although Yuan Bing had a good name and a high-ranking official position at the beginning, it was a favored noble minister who was responsible for it, but the actual work was done by Yuan Bingkai, who worked tirelessly and wholeheartedly.

He is very contented. Compared with the days when he was young, his life now is better.

When he arrived at the door of his house and got out of the car, Yuan Bingkai saw the carriage of Shoushan Bohuang's family and knew that this was his sister.

When I came to the main hall of my courtyard, I entered the house and saw that in addition to my sister and Mrs. Yongpingbo, there was also a young strange woman.

After a cup of tea, Yuan Bingkai's sister angrily opened the curtain and walked out, followed by Mrs. Yongping Bo.

"Hmph! Bad stuff."

"Sister, calm down, you are also a married person, so you don't have to worry about it."

"My sister-in-law! A short-sighted bird!"

Walk to the carriage.

At this time, Yuan Wenshao, who had returned from outside, saw his aunt and hurriedly saluted.

"aunt!"

"Um."

The two eldest ladies left the Yuan family directly.

Three days later.

It is already the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Above the court.

Some officials got into a debate over which breed of horse was better.

Then I digressed a little bit and talked about whether high-ranking noble officials from Northern Liao, Bai, and Gao were on envoys to their own countries, and whether there was any charge for taking care of the horses of the envoys coming to Beijing, etc.

The emperor asked: "Where is Yuan Qing of Ma Zheng?"

The official from Yushitai replied: "Your Majesty, Yuan Bingkai sent a notice asking for leave yesterday, saying he was ill."

"Oh? Then record this matter. Next, which beloved lady has a report?"

When the real officer fell ill, things piled up on the desk of the person above. So after going to court, Ma Zheng's officials went to visit Yuan's house without changing their clothes.

After some greetings, fortunately the problem is not big, it is just that there are many things at the end of the year and I am a little tired.

The superiors and subordinates talked for half an hour.

Yuan Bingkai also explained in detail what his superiors needed to know.

After asking Uncle Yuan to take good care of his health, the official took his leave.

They left the small courtyard of the Yuan family.

The official's personal steward whispered as the Yuan family walked out:

"My lord, their second son is also sick!"

The master and servant went out and saw Mrs. Shoushanbo getting out of the carriage anxiously.

Seeing the official robes worn by the officials, Mrs. Shoushanbo stopped for a moment and saluted.

The two groups separated without talking to each other.

"This is the wife of Uncle Shoushan, here to see my brother."

"Well, let's go! Send some supplements later!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Four or five days passed

The day has come on New Year’s Eve.

The festive atmosphere in Bianjing City reached its climax.

Quyuan Street

Yong Yi Hou Mansion,

As in previous years, the door was cleaned, pasted with peach charms and couplets, and replaced with a new door god.

But at this time, Xu Zaijing was no longer watching, but was able to complete some things on his own.

After finishing his work, Zai Zhang was playing with the raccoon slave in his father's house, while his sister An Mei was playing with several little maids.

Just when my sister-in-law was about to summon the raccoon slave, she saw her mother-in-law and stopped angrily.

Another mother-in-law came to ask for instructions on some affairs in the backyard. Mrs. Xie followed her mother-in-law and took her sister-in-law to observe and learn.

The eldest brother went to the surrounding alleys in advance to pay condolences to the old soldiers of the Xu family. The children of two families were left in the west.

Night falls.

The sound of firecrackers rang out in Bianjing City.

Countless lanterns light up, turning Bianjing into a city that never sleeps.

After watching the fireworks show in Bianjing upstairs at Xu's house, Xu Minghua also returned home from the palace to have New Year's Eve dinner.

Mrs. Sun directed the housekeeper of the family to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Xie was pregnant and couldn't keep busy, so Anmei happened to fill this position and helped Sun with a lot of work.

It can be regarded as learning the necessary knowledge for a qualified lady in advance.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, the family played games such as hutou, etc. The whole family was laughing and joking in the house, which was very lively.

Xu Zaiduan's three brothers also drank a lot and watched everything with smiles on their faces.

In the second half of the night, Xu Mansion gradually became less lively.

Xu Zaijing is getting older, so naturally he doesn't need to go to the street to sell Ru Chi's songs as early as possible.

Together with my brothers, sisters, sister-in-law and others, I paid New Year greetings to my parents and all received red envelopes.

Seeing several young maids and servants from the Xu family shouting in the street, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

Holding bamboo poles tied with copper coins and beating the ashes of firecrackers, everyone has different prayer wishes.

Mrs. Sun prayed that her eldest daughter would be better in her husband's family.

Naturally, Mrs. Xie prayed to have a son.

Qingcao muttered silently, and then his eyes were a little confused. He lowered his head and thought for a while. The appearance of his family was a little blurry.

Yin hour (4 a.m. to 5 a.m.)

The Zhu family was the first to come to the Xu family to pay New Year greetings.

It was their first year of marriage, so it was natural for the bride to come with joy.

Sun also received a big red envelope.

I asked the Zhu family's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ni, carefully about the situation of her Ni family's siblings, and heard that she said that Zhu Qinghu took them to the Zhu family for the New Year in the first year.

Next year, Ni's younger brother, the eldest son of the Ni family, will be able to support the business independently.

Mr. Ni will also be there to help.

In the Gu family, the atmosphere has been a little bad since last night.

The fourth and fifth bedrooms sent word that since Gu Tingyu had spoken, they would not celebrate the New Year together.

Instead of taking care of your own brothers, you favor outsiders!

and,

A few days ago, the head of the Bai family returned to Yangzhou, which made the Bai family a little depressed.

Also, because Gu Yankai did not celebrate the festival in Bai's yard, Bai's face looked very, very ugly.

This made Gu Tingye and Gu Tingyi very afraid to approach their mother.

It was Gu Tingyu who asked Pingmei to sit next to Bai and whispered something to Bai. When he heard Pingmei's words, Bai's eyes were full of surprise.

"Ping'er, is what you said true?"

"Mother, of course it's true. The official made a promise to me."

"Okay, okay, then I'll prepare first."

After saying this, Bai Shi also talked to Grandma Chang, who was equally happy.

When it was almost past Haishi, Gu Yankai returned from Bilian Garden to the courtyard where the Bai family was.

Yes, at Gu Tingyu's strong request, the name of the courtyard was changed.

When Gu Tingyi saw his father, he walked up happily and asked cutely:

"Dad, why did you come just now? Yi'er misses you so much!"

Gu Yankai was speechless when asked.

You can't say that after spending time with your concubine and your brothers, you can finally spend time with your daughter. That would be too sad.

I felt so ashamed that I could only lower my body.

"Yi'er, what do you like? Tell daddy and he will buy it!"

thanks for your support!

I fell asleep for three hours.

I just finished the previous chapter.

There are still about 6,000 words left, which are being revised.
