Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

"Dad, I want my mother to smile more." Gu Tingyi said.

Gu Yan's face froze.

The servants who served also had different expressions on their faces.

Fortunately, Gu Tingye came over and said flatteringly: "Dad, tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so I won't practice shooting anymore."

"Well, I won't practice any more. Let's go play with my sister."

"Yi'er, let's go set off firecrackers."

Standing in the hall, Gu Yankai, who felt something was missing, looked back and saw Gu Tingyu who was talking to Heping Mei.

Gu Tingyu didn't even look at him, he was still talking to his wife.

On the first day of junior high school, Gu Tingyu still didn't say a word to his father.

But for the sake of Gu Tingyu's scientific examination, Gu Yankai could only swallow this breath.

He was sitting in the hall and saw Pingmei squatting down to salute, and he nodded.

"My daughter-in-law is still very polite."

In previous years, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, there was a silk pocket hanging on the front door of the Xu family to accept gifts and New Year greetings.

When the door is not open, you can receive messages of New Year greetings

In previous years, it was not much of a decoration, with few posts in it.

The Xu family and his son came to visit us to pay New Year greetings to the people we were close to.

But now,

Xu Zaijing followed his father and brother out of the gate early in the morning, and saw that the silk pocket on the gate was filled with various posts.

Most of them are from the families of military attachés and nobles, and there are also a few from the families of civil servants.

I looked at each other with my father and brother,

It was Xu Minghua who said: "It's human nature, don't be too weird."

I visited several dignitaries with good relations between Beijing and China. Xu Minghua was going to attend the Great Court Meeting. I heard that this year there were envoys from various countries participating, and it was a grander event than before.

Xu Minghua talked with Gu Yankai for a while at Ningyuan Hou Mansion.

Then they went to the palace together. With such a status, as long as you don't break your face, you still have to do face-saving work.

The Xu Zaijing brothers returned to the Xu family and prepared to enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings.

After some preparations, everyone in the Xu family, except Xie who was pregnant and stayed in the Xu family, arrived at the Zhou Palace. Xu Zaijing was a little surprised when they were waiting outside the palace.

Because Duke Qi and Princess Pingning brought Qi Heng in but they hadn't entered yet.

At this time in the past, Princess Pingning had already entered the palace and sat down.

Seeing the Xu family, Princess Pingning smiled. Qi Heng beside her said a few words to her, and Princess Pingning nodded.

Qi Heng ran over and bowed and said, "My dearest lady, Chun'an, sister Anmei Zhuang'an, brother Jing."

Mrs. Sun smiled and praised a few words,

Xu Zaijing nodded and said, "Brother Heng, what happened today?"

Qi Heng looked back at his mother and said, "The noble Bai Gao and envoys from the Yelu family of Northern Liao Dynasty came to the palace to pay New Year's greetings. They just wanted to express their friendship as landlords."

"Is there someone from Bai Gaoguo as well?"

"Yes, we beat him up before, but we sent someone here this year."

"What about Beiliao? What are they here for?"

At this time, Gu Tingyu came over and said: "I heard that the emperor of Bei Liao fell while hunting. The tribes and clans in the east and north are ready to move. They are afraid that we will do something and come over to show our goodwill."

"Brother Yu!" The junior quickly saluted and called.

"Mother-in-law." Gu Tingyu bowed and saluted.

Sun smiled. "Um."

Seeing Gu Tingyu, Mrs. Sun looked back and saw Mrs. Bai standing not far away, with Pingmei supporting her.

Feeling Sun's gaze, Bai smiled, while Gu Tingyi and Gu Tingye waved hello.

Before everyone could say anything, an internal official quickly walked out of the palace and looked left and right in the crowd of nobles, seemingly looking for someone.

Seeing Xu Zaijing, the official's eyes lit up.

"Wu Lang of the Xu family, come to the hall quickly!" He looked around again, and when he saw Gu Tingye, he hurriedly shouted: "Er Lang of the Gu family, come to the hall quickly."

Gu Tingye was stunned for a moment, then spoke to Mr. Bai, and came to Xu Zaijing's side happily.

The two teenagers stood together, Xu Zaijing was taller.

"The two gentlemen brought me into the palace to pick out some useful items from the archery troupe. These brats from Bai Gao and Beiliao underestimated my great talent."

After saying that, the eunuch walked back to the hall angrily.

Before entering the main hall, Gu Tingye said:

"Brother Jing. I haven't seen you for a long time. You have caused me so much pain."

Xu Zaijing said: "Gu Hou didn't beat you?"

Hearing this, Gu Tingye stopped talking.

His father did not beat him, but his brother carried out psychological torture.

"How come you haven't seen me visiting Lord Lingguo's house these days?"

"I"

In the hall, the high-pitched and shrill voice of the eunuch shouted:

"Ting Ye, the second son of Marquis Xuan Ningyuan, and Zai Jing, the fifth son of Marquis Yong Yi, are waiting at the palace gate!"

This call made the nobles outside the hall look at it one after another.

On the way, Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye walked to the front near the palace gate.

On the military attache's side, they saw the British Duke Zhang's family, and their family was the one standing closest to the front.

Several sons of the Zhang family are eager to give it a try.

But they didn't seem to be allowed in,

The Zhang family members nodded to each other, and the fifth lady of the Zhang family who was near the palace gate waved her hand and said:

"The two brothers have destroyed their prestige!"

On the other side were the children of Mr. Ge Laoxiangong. They also looked ugly. When they saw the two young men approaching, they all quickly handed over:

"It's so rude! It's so rude! It's so degrading! We have to beat them!"

Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye were a little curious as to what was going on in the hall.

After entering the palace gate, Xu Zaijing and the two saw several disciples of the Zhou clan standing behind their father and brother with ugly faces, and several noble ladies of the clan were looking at their brothers with distress.

Rong Xian was even beaten so hard that one of his eyes was a little blue. Next to him was a girl who stood out, with a pretty face at a young age.

At this time, he was pulling Rongxian's sleeves, looking at the bruises at the corners of his mouth with worry.

The beauty shed tears, which attracted several disciples of Bai Gao and Beiliao to take a peek.

There were even clan disciples with their hair loose and looking towards Rongxian's side while whispering.

Xu Zaijing asked the British public servant Si Lang in a low voice: "Fourth brother, what's going on here?"

"The envoy from the Northern Liao Kingdom is from the Yelu family. He said that he came to our great Zhou Dynasty and wanted to present a tribute to the young brave men of the Northern Liao Dynasty together with our noble children. The queen asked your majesty for permission and agreed. Look at the chairs in the main hall. It became a big circle.”

Looking at Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye who were confused, Zhang Jiasilang continued:

"Sixteen members of the distinguished clan, under the age of ten to fourteen, competed in wrestling and archery in front of the emperor and queen. You were not here just now, but there were six from the prince's family and the Rong family, and they all came on the stage. ”

He looked up at the hall and continued: "Rongxian said he was not fourteen years old, so he was beaten badly. Now there are seven left. Humph!"

Zhang Wuniang whispered: "Two brothers, none of us from Dazhou are left. It's a pity that my two brothers are over the age and cannot play, otherwise they will be rampant."

After speaking, he snorted angrily.

Very great sense of honor.

Xu Zaijing looked up and saw that the queen asked the palace officials to clear a large open space in the palace. A huge blanket was spread on it, surrounded by a large circle of people sitting or empty chairs.

In the open space surrounded by chairs, several foreign aristocratic youths were full of arrogance.
