Do you know: I am Xu Jiazi

Chapter 323 'Divine Calculation' Xu Wulang [Thank you all for your support! Goodbye! ]

On the wedding day,

The wedding procession had already gone far away, and the people who were watching at the intersection had also dispersed.

Wei Yuyi walked with the woman with a straw hairpin and a cloth skirt with whom he had just talked.

Pointing to the storefront with the signboard of 'Qiaoji Seafood Store', the woman said:
"Look, Madam Wei, this is the fish shop you are looking for."

"Thank you."

Seeing the three people at the door pointing at the door, the waiter inside hurried out and asked with a smile:

"It's still cold outside, please come in and see if there's anything you like!"

Wei Yuyi smiled and said, "Is there any in the store?"

Then he walked inside.

The shopkeeper heard the voices, looked up at the attire of Wei Yuyi and his wife, waved to the waiter to come and receive them, then walked over with a smile and said:

"Madam, we do have the fish you mentioned in our store. Would you like to pick one from the tank?"

The woman from Bian Jing who came with them did not go in, but talked to the waiter who came out at the door.

The woman pointed at Wei Yuyi and said to the waiter who came out:

"From what he said, it sounds like he just arrived in Bianjing! Just now, the young master of the Yongyi Marquis's family greeted this lady, as if they were old acquaintances."

Waiter: "Oh, are you serious, Sister Niu?"

"Tsk! Why would I lie to you? There were many people seeing us at the intersection!"

The waiter nodded, hurried into the store, and whispered a few words into the shopkeeper's ear.

After hearing what the waiter said, the shopkeeper nodded and raised his chin towards the woman at the door.

The waiter understood and caught a half-dead fish about half a foot in size with a net bag and went out to give it to Sister Niu as a thank-you gift.

In the shop,

Wei Yuyi looked at the fish in the big tank and discussed with her husband which one to get with a smile on her face.
The shopkeeper on the side smiled and bowed:
"My lady, I would like to ask you a question. I heard from the woman of the Niu family that you and the young man of the Yongyi Marquis family are old acquaintances?"

Wei Yuyi turned around and put away his smile. He looked at the shopkeeper warily and continued to look at the big jar.
"Not really an old acquaintance, just a distant relative."

The shopkeeper was startled, then he quickly bowed and said with an apologetic smile:

"My lady, please don't misunderstand me. My boss's surname is Qiao. My ancestor married a noble lady from the royal family, and the title was passed down."

"The Dong family has a legitimate son, Jiulang, who is very close to the Xu family's brother!"

"Before, our shop even sent seafood to Xu's relatives, the Sheng family, the top scholar in Linshui Lane!"

Wei Yuyi held the handkerchief and continued to look at the fish in the water, saying:
"Boss, I only know of a Sheng family in Jiying Lane, whose ancestors produced a scholar who won the imperial examination. Which family in Linshui Lane are you talking about?"

The shopkeeper tapped his forehead and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I remembered it wrong."

At this time, a young man's voice came from the door.

"Old Hu, bring me a hundred strings of silver."

Hearing the voice, the shopkeeper Hu said, "Madam, take your time choosing. My Jiulang is here."

After saying that, he hurried over.

After a while,
Wei Yuyi and her husband took a fancy to a fish, and waved to the waiter to catch it with a net bag and take it to be weighed.

She continued to pick other seafood.

Shopkeeper Hu, who was standing by, handed over the silver bills and whispered a few words to Qiao Jiulang.

After listening to this, Qiao Jiulang came over, cupped his hands and said with a smile:

"Thank you for your courtesy, madam! May I ask your name?"

Wei Yuyi turned around and looked at Qiao Jiulang. Seeing his expensive clothes, he held the handkerchief, knelt down slightly and saluted in return, saying:
"You are so polite, my concubine, please forgive me for taking your surname Wei."

Qiao Jiulang thought about his previous conversation with Chang Feng, and he understood and said with a smile:

"Brother Jing and I are very close. Is the Madam a relative of the Sheng family?"

Wei Yuyi said with a smile: "I guess so."

Qiao Jiulang nodded and turned back and said:
"Okay! That's no problem! Old Hu, give this lady some discounts."

"I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave."

Wei Yuyi: "Yanei, take care."

About a quarter of an hour later,
Wei Yuyi and her husband were walking back with a bag of seafood.

"Madam, this fish weighs two kilograms? I think it weighs more than five or six kilograms! And these shrimps and crabs weigh more than three kilograms."

"Sir, this is the store trying to give us a discount in various ways, but they're afraid we'll refuse!"

"Let's go home and pickle these. I will go to the Sheng family tomorrow and ask my sister to come back!"

Wei Yuyi spoke with a smile on his face and walked towards the courtyard with great energy.

Huyanjia

In the bright hall,

Huyan Hai and Madam Pan sat on the two chairs at the top, smiling as they watched the young couple come in.

Sitting on the chairs at the bottom were An-Mei's two sisters-in-law.

At this time, An Mei had changed her hairstyle into a woman's bun.

Before she got married and was still a girl, Anmei could let her hair down.

You can have bangs on the forehead, the hair on both sides of the temples can be let down, and the hair on the back of the head can also be let down.

After getting married, An-Mei's hair in front, behind and at the temples were combed neatly and carefully.

This hairstyle makes Anmei look much more mature.

Hu Yanjiong and his wife offered tea to their parents. Madam Pan smiled and waved her hand, and a maid came over with a tray and a jewelry box.

"Anmei, this is some gift from me and Jiong'er's father to you."

Xu Anmei stood up and looked at the hairpins, necklaces, armlets, bracelets, rings, and earrings on the tray in amazement.

On the second day of her sister Pingmei's wedding, she also received many gifts from Mrs. Bai.
When I went back to Xu's house before, the two sisters were whispering on the bed. The elder sister told her the specific quantity and style.

An Mei has no intention of comparing herself with her sister. After all, each family’s situation is different.

But looking at these things in front of her, An Mei didn't believe that Madam Pan didn't ask Madam Wu, because these were obviously prepared according to the double gifts for her sister!

"Mother, this is too expensive! My wife doesn't dare to accept it!"

As she spoke, An Mei turned her head to glance at her two sisters-in-law.

But I only saw smiles in the eyes of my two sisters-in-law.

Mrs. Pan smiled and said:

"An Mei, don't look at them! They have been living happily in Mizhou! When I, your mother-in-law, gave them two ships from our Pan family as a gift when I married them!"

"With the money I earn now, I can probably buy three sets of jewelry like this."

An Mei looked at Mrs. Pan in surprise, and then at her two sisters-in-law.

Seeing An Mei's expression, everyone in the room started laughing.

"Sister-in-law, here are the gifts my sister-in-law and I gave you."

As she spoke, a maid came over holding an exquisite wooden box. A maidservant at the side helped to open the box, revealing a very exquisite statue of Guanyin.
Judging from its weight and material, it is most likely made of gold.

"I wish you and Xiao Jiong a baby soon."

As soon as these words came out, An Mei and Hu Yanjiong's faces turned red. After looking at each other, they said in unison:

"Thank you, sister-in-law!"

Looking at the young couple after they sat down,
Madam Pan said, "You worked hard all day yesterday, so I won't keep you for dinner today. Go!"

"It's the mother/mother-in-law."

With that, the two of them stood up and left the hall and walked outside.

Hearing the light laughter coming from the room, An Mei hit Hu Yanjiong angrily.

After leaving the yard, Hu Yanjiong's servant Fu Ding followed and walked side by side with the maid Ye'er.

"By the way, Fuding." "Madam?"

"Is the horse that came with the dowry all right in the stable?"

"My dear Madam, we are feeding them according to the old rules of the Marquisate."

"That's good!"

The beginning of the Mao hour (around 5 a.m.)
It was still dark.

Jiying Lane,
Sheng Family Academy,

Changbai and Hanniu, a servant holding a lantern, walked over the threshold and in.

After a few steps, the master and servant arrived at the school gate and lifted the curtain at the door. Changbai was stunned for a moment.

When Changbai came in the past, the school must have been dark.

But today he found that there was a candle lit on the table diagonally opposite.

After entering the school, Changbai said:

"Brother Jing? Why are you here so early today?"

Xu Zaijing raised his head and said, "I didn't have breakfast at home today, so I came a little early. Do you want to eat?"

As he said this, he raised the meat bun in his hand.

Changbai smiled slightly and said, "I've eaten!"

While they were talking, Han Niu had already lit the candle, walked to the back, and greeted Yun Xiang, who was also eating a meat bun.

The sky outside gradually brightened.
After the candles were blown out, more and more people came into the school.

After finishing a question assigned by Master Zhuang in the morning, there was a short break in the classroom.

Xu Zaijing sat in his seat with his upper body leaning against the wall. He took the teacup handed to him by Yun Xiang, took a sip, and then glanced at the three Lans.

Molan was combing her hair with her hands, Rulan was dozing on the table, and Minglan put down her brush and stretched, but there was no look of happiness or longing on her face?

Xu Zaijing rolled his eyes, handed the teacup to Yunxiang, stood up and walked to Minglan's side, looked at the words she wrote, and said:

"Minglan, your cousin has just learned fortune-telling these days, let me see your handwriting."

Minglan: "What's wrong with the words?"

Xiao Xiaotao behind was also looking at Xu Zaijing with curiosity.

Xu Zaijing: "Want to know?"

Minglan and Xiaoxiaotao nodded together.

Xu Zaijing closed his eyes and frowned, looking profound, his thumb moving back and forth on the knuckles. After a moment, he opened his eyes and said:
"Minglan, from your handwriting, I can infer that some relatives or friends may come to visit you in the next few days."

Looking at Minglan's expression, Xu Zaijing said, "Don't believe it?"

Minglan nodded hesitantly and said, "I believe it!"

Xu Zaijing: "If you believe me, I will give you two pieces of fried snails for the fortune-telling money."

Xiao Xiaotao's eyes widened: Two? That means she and the girl will have nothing to eat! !
Minglan: "Then I don't believe it!"

Rulan, who was dozing off in front, tried to hold back her laughter: "Hmph!"

Xu Zaijing pretended to be helpless and said:

"Minglan, there's no one like you!"

"How about this, if friends and relatives come to visit us in the next two days, you can give me four fried snails!"

"If you don't come, I'll give you three a box of cherry fried dumplings each!"

Hearing the words "Cherry Fried Pancake", Rulan stopped dozing off and turned to Minglan and said:
"Sixth sister, please agree to your cousin's request! Cherry fried food!"

Minglan looked at the eyes of the two sisters in front of her and nodded hesitantly.

The break is over.

Xu Zaijing and others continued to work on the topics assigned by Master Zhuang.

At lunch time,
The three orchids returned to their respective courtyards.

When Minglan brought Xiaoxiaotao to Shou'an Hall,
Then I heard the laughter of my stepmother Wang Ruofu coming from inside:

"Hahaha! Oh, Ming'er's aunt, what you said is really a blessing from you!"

Hearing this, Minglan and Xiaoxiaotao looked at each other in surprise, then quickened their pace towards Shou'an Hall.

After lifting the curtain and entering the hall, Minglan saw a woman sitting on an embroidered cushion. Who else could she be but her aunt!

Minglan hurriedly bowed to the old lady and Wang Ruofu.

"Ming girl, go to your aunt and let her take a closer look at you."

After hearing what her stepmother said, Minglan glanced at the old lady and walked up to Wei Yuyi.

Wei Yuyi smiled and touched Minglan's face, saying, "Thank you for the trouble of the old lady and the eldest lady. This girl has become so fat!"

The old lady looked at Minglan and said, "This girl has nothing to do after school, so she follows Suqin around to study delicious food. It would be strange if she doesn't get fat!"

Minglan lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly.

There was another burst of laughter in Shou'an Hall.

Wei Yuyi hugged Minglan and said with a smile:
"My sister told me before that winter hasn't arrived yet, and as soon as the weather gets cold, she'll give her a cape and cotton wool. She's really a kind-hearted girl!"

"The guidance of the old lady and the eldest lady is indispensable for this! Such a good marriage is what she deserves!"

Wang Ruofu, who was sitting on the chair, smiled happily, showing her white teeth. She looked at Liu Mama and shook her handkerchief lightly and said:

"How can it be as good as what my aunt said!"

Wei Yuyi leaned forward slightly and said with a firm tone: "This baby of mine must be a little boy!"

Wang Ruofu laughed even more happily:
"Oh! I also burn incense and pray every day!"

"Although my in-laws in the Marquis' Mansion told me that there is no rush and that sons and daughters are the same, but as a daughter of ours who married into a wealthy family, shouldn't we quickly have children and bear fruit?"

After laughing, Wang Ruofu said sadly: "By then, the weather will get hot, and Hua'er will suffer during her confinement!"

Wei Yuyi nodded.

The old lady looked at Wei Yuyi who was speaking with a smile, and there was satisfaction in her eyes.

After taking a sip of tea, the old lady said:

"Her aunt, then it's settled. Changqi is still young, so I will take care of her."

"Early tomorrow morning, let Ming'er and her little mother take a carriage to go home to see your mother."

"I'll have Ruan follow with servants. If you need any help, just ask."

After saying this, the old lady looked at Wang Ruofu and said, "Madam, is this okay?"

Wang Ruofu on the side said with a smile: "Okay, okay!"

Minglan, who was in Wei Yuyi's arms, was full of surprise when she heard this. She had never seen her mother since she was old enough to understand!
The old lady smiled and continued, "Okay, I'm tired too. Let's go to Jin'anzhai with your aunt tomorrow."

Anzhai today,
Wei Yuyi looked at the sleeping child lovingly.

After taking a look at his sister, Wei Yuyi whispered, "Look, Qian'er looks more like you!"

Wei Xiaoniang smiled and said, "When Master Wei, the master's cousin, came to the Sheng family, he saw Jian'er and said that he looked more like Master."

Wei Yuyi looked at Chang Qi doubtfully: "Is there?"

The child didn't know what she was dreaming about, she smacked her lips, and the two sisters immediately quieted down.

Quietly walked to the outer room and sat down,

Xiaodie brought Minglan and Xiaotao, smiled and came over with tea and put it on the table.

Wei Xiaoniang held Wei Yuyi's hand and touched her arm. She looked at her sister and whispered:
"You're that thin?"

Wei Yuyi smiled and said, "After walking for so long and traveling so long, how can you not lose weight? Your brother-in-law has lost even more weight!"

"Then, our family will live in Bianjing from now on?"

Hearing his sister's words, Wei Yuyi nodded heavily and said, "We can't always let you stay so far away from us, sister. I've brought my father's tablet with me."

Wei Xiaoniang nodded and said, "Then please go to Yuqing Temple."

Minglan was watching her mother and aunt happily, forgetting that she had to pay four
