Do you know: I am Xu Jiazi

Chapter 325 Return to the Home【Thank you all for your support! Goodbye!】

In the back room, tributes were placed in front of the spirit tablet of Wei's father.

There is also a pitching pot filled with bamboo arrows on the side.
The incense in the incense burner is emitting green smoke
As Wei Shuyi spoke, he lit the paper money beside him and put it into the brazier.

Pick up the paper money and let it burn as hard as possible.
Feeling the heat coming towards him, Wei Shuyi said:

"Dad, my child is named Chang Jian. I dreamed of you when I gave birth to him."

"I will always remember your teachings to my daughter."

Outside the curtain, Wei Yuyi sighed dejectedly when he heard his sister's words.

after awhile,

Wei Shuyi walked out from the back room with red eyes.

At this time,

Mother Cui also came in with Xiaodie and Xiaotao, carrying tea.
Mother Wei sniffed the tea fragrance in the air and said, "This tea smells great!"

Mother Cui smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. This is something that the mistress of the family specially ordered to be brought here."

"Thank you very much, ma'am."

"You're welcome."

Xiaodie looked at Wei Shuyi and hurried over: "Girl, have some tea!"

Mother Cui and Xiaodie stood by.
The family drank tea.
"I heard from Madam Cui that Miss Hua from the host family has been pregnant for a while? Shu'er, have you prepared everything?"

"Mom, it's ready."

"That's good."

Minglan, who was standing by, took the opportunity to say, "Grandma, my eldest sister's cousin Jing is really good at fortune-telling!"

Hearing Minglan's words, Mother Wei asked with great interest:

"Oh really?"

"However, it's only natural for a young master from a wealthy family to know a lot!"

Wei Yuyi asked in confusion: "Minglan, how do you know your cousin is so good at fortune-telling?"

Minglan said a few words.

The more Wei Yuyi listened, the more he smiled. Finally, he smiled and said to Minglan:

"Minglan, your cousin is teasing you!"

"On the day of Xu Jia'an's wedding, he saw your aunt and me, as well as your uncle, on the street!"

Minglan looked at him in amazement. Xiao Xiaotao, who had a similar expression, said:
"Ah? I, I thought my cousin was really that awesome!"

Seeing Minglan and Xiaoxiaotao like this, everyone in the room smiled.

Mother Cui at the side also smiled and shook her head, saying:

"Sixth Miss, no wonder you always ask the old lady if the Xu family has the secret of fortune-telling?"

"So you were fooled by Jing Ge'er?"

Xiao Xiaotao lowered her head in depression. Maybe she had given her daughter some advice.
Minglan pouted sullenly and snorted.

Seeing the look of this master and servant, everyone in the room started laughing.

The cheerful laughter spread outside the house.

In the kitchen, Jiang Shangfeng, who was busy cooking, also laughed.

In the yard, the dark clouds in the sky had long since dispersed, the sky was clear, and the bright sunshine was shining down.

Had lunch at noon,
Mother Cui put the pieces of material for making spring clothes prepared by the old lady into Mother Wei's room.

Late afternoon (after 5 p.m.)
Wei Shuyi got on the carriage again and set out on the journey back to the Sheng family.

Wei Shuyi, who was in the carriage, lifted the curtain reluctantly.

But she saw her mother still standing at the door, looking in the direction she left.

Wei Yuyi and his wife also accompanied her.

Wei Shuyi lowered the curtain, looked at Mother Cui in the carriage and smiled slightly. After adjusting his mood,

Wei Shuyi put on a smile, she opened the car curtain again, waved at Wei Yuyi, and said:
"Go back! Go back!"

Wei Yuyi and his wife agreed, but still sent them to the entrance of the alley.

There were many more people near the entrance of the alley.

Wei Shuyi did not show up again, but Mother Cui stuck her head out and waved to Wei Yuyi.

"In the future, if you miss your sister, go to the Sheng family to see her."

Jiang Shangfeng talked and comforted Wei Yuyi, who was feeling a little sad about parting. The couple stood at the entrance of the alley and watched the carriage disappear before going home.

On the carriage,
Mother Cui looked at Wei Shuyi and said, "My dear, when you smile, it makes people feel happy. You should smile more in the future."

Wei Shuyi smiled and nodded.

The carriage fell into silence. Mother Cui looked at Wei Shuyi, who was lost in thought, and said:
"Girl, is there anything you want to buy? Let's buy it together while we're outside!"

As she spoke, Mother Cui lifted the car curtain and looked out. Wei Shuyi looked at the scenery outside the car window and smiled slightly.

After walking for a while, Mother Cui pointed to a shop on the side of the road and said:

"The silk threads sold at the Li family's needlework shop are the best. Would you like to buy some?"

"need!"

"Okay, I'll go down and buy whatever color you want."

Shengjia Academy,

Xu Zaijing followed Zhuang Xuejiu and walked along the bamboo path towards the courtyard where Zhuang Xuejiu lived.

Zhuang Xuejiu said as he walked:

"This idea was thought up by Ningyuan Hou Gu Dalang. Oh, yes, it was also thought up by your brother-in-law."

"If you encounter similar questions, you may find this useful!"

By this time, we had reached the Moon Gate.
Xu Zaijing nodded with a thoughtful look in his eyes and said, "Yes, thank you for your teachings, Master!"

"Ok!"

"Then the student will take his leave!"

Zhuang Xueji waved the fan in his hand and said:
"Go ahead! Go slowly on the road."

Xu Zaijing quickly responded,
After saying this, the scholar put his hands behind his back and walked leisurely into the Moon Gate.

As Xu Zaijing walked toward the door,
Passing by the school gate, Changbai just came out and looked at Xu Zaijing in confusion, saying, "Brother Jing, you haven't left yet?"

Xu Zaijing took the cloak handed to him by Qingcao and said, "I asked the scholar a question, which is..."

The two walked side by side, talking as they went, and walked out after crossing the threshold of the yard.

On the way, Changbai listened to Xu Zaijing's words with surprise in his eyes. The two stopped at the intersection leading to the inner courtyard, and Changbai sighed:

"Brother Gu is indeed the top two class leader. I never thought of such an idea!"

Xu Zaijing said: "Let's think about it more tonight and discuss it the day after tomorrow morning!"

Changbai: "Of course not. By the way, your family has something to do tomorrow."

Xu Zaijing nodded and patted Changbai's arm: "It's settled!"

With that said, he turned and left.

Xu Zaijing walked a few steps outside with Qingcao and arrived not far from the second gate of Sheng's house.

At this time, two carriages from the Sheng family happened to be coming towards him.

After the carriage passed by, Minglan rubbed her eyes and seemed to have just woken up, and turned around to see Xu Zaijing.

She said something to Xiaodie beside her and then walked over.

Coming in front of Xu Zaijing, Minglan pinched her waist, stared at Xu Zaijing with big eyes, and said angrily:
"Cousin Jing, did you see my aunt on the day of Sister Anmei's wedding?"

Xu Zaijing nodded: "Yes!"

"Then why do you say you calculated it?"

As she spoke, Minglan stretched out her hand and said:

"Then return those four crispy snails I made for you!"

"I haven't even tasted what it tastes like before I make it!"

Xu Zaijing's mind turned and he knew what happened. He smiled and said:
"Sixth sister, meeting your aunt is not inconsistent with my calculation that she came to the Sheng family."

"Besides, I only received two snails from my fifth sister today. How could there be four?"

Minglan was stunned and said hesitantly, "But I clearly gave five sisters four this morning!" Xu Zaijing smiled and said, "Then I don't know. Sixth sister, go find Rulan. Goodbye!"

After saying this, Xu Zaijing followed Zhuang Xuejiu's example and walked forward with his hands behind his back.
When we arrived at the second gate,

Xu Zaijing stopped and put down his hands.
After looking at Mother Cui and Wei Shuyi standing there with a smile, he nodded in greeting.

Mother Cui and Wei Shuyi also smiled and bowed together with the little maid beside them.

Qingcao, who was carrying a book box behind Xu Zaijing, hurriedly squatted and returned the greeting.

Afterwards, Xu Zaijing continued to walk out with his hands behind his back, humming a song in a good mood.

in the morning,
On the way from the inner courtyard to the school,
Rulan looked at the food box in Xi Que's hand, stopped suddenly and said:
"What's in the food box that Sixth Sister sent to cousin? It smells so good?"

Magpie: "Sniff, girl, it smells like crispy snails."

Rulan: "Really? Let me see."

As they spoke, the master and servant stopped in front of a stone table in the garden.

After opening the food box, the aroma of the food becomes even stronger!
Rulan's eyes widened suddenly, and after licking her lips, she said:
"Cousin Jing has already eaten breakfast, he can't eat so much!"

As she spoke, Rulan picked out three crispy snacks and prepared to put them in the bookcase.

The magpie looked bitter and said:

"Girl, this is not good! I heard from Sister Cuichan that Master Xu Wu has a big appetite."

Rulan looked at the three crispy snails in her hand, feeling a little hesitant and reluctant.

Finally, she put the smaller pastry in her hand back into the food box and said:

"That's right! Magpie, come on, put our candied fruit in there!"

The magpie on the side seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

Rulan said, "What are you looking at? I'm just trying to see how it tastes for Sixth Sister. If it smells good but tastes bad, she will be offended!"

Magpie: "Sixth Miss's cooking is so delicious."

Seeing Rulan breaking the cake in half and handing it to him, Xi Que quickly stopped talking:
"The girl is thoughtful."

"Mmm, so fragrant and delicious!"

On the carriage back to Quyuan Street,

Xu Zaijing looked at Qingcao and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you always looking at me?"

Qingcao smiled and said, "Sir, you seem to be in a good mood."

Xu Zaijing hesitated and asked, "Is it so obvious?"

Qingcao nodded repeatedly and said:

"Sir, when you see Madam Bai and Miss Tingyi, and Master Gu! Sometimes you look like this too."

Xu Zaijing smiled, pointed at Qingcao's forehead with his finger, and said:
"Silly girl, you are the only one who knows so much!"

"Next time you know, keep it to yourself and don't talk nonsense!"

Qingcao tilted her body when Xu Zaijing pointed at her, and said awkwardly:
"Oh! Got it."

"Sir, I only told you this."

Xu Zaijing closed his eyes and nodded, saying, "Is it really that obvious?"

Qingcao: "Sir, it is quite obvious in my eyes."

Xu Zaijing sighed, lifted the carriage curtain, and said:

"Qingyun, when you get home, send a note to the Huyan family, telling them that mother misses you and ask them to come over for breakfast in the morning."

"Yes, son."

After saying that, Xu Zaijing lowered the car curtain and said, "Next time you see it, remind me."

"Oh."

On the second day,
Yong Yi Hou Mansion,

Lord Mother’s Courtyard,

Because the two sons didn't have to go to school today, we had dinner later than usual to let them rest more.

Looking at her youngest son who was walking in, Sun rolled her eyes at him and said:
"Why, are you willing to come for breakfast today?"

The voice has not fallen,

A young maid came over in a panic and said in a hurry:
"Madam, Sister An and her husband are here."

Sun was stunned, and looked at her two daughters-in-law in surprise:
"Why are they here so early?"

As Sun spoke, she glanced at Xu Zaijing who was pretending to stretch.

"Hualan, don't move!"

After saying that, Sun led everyone out.

Before I reached the second door, I ran into Mr. and Mrs. An Mei who had already walked in.

"mother in law!"

"Mother!"

Sun smiled and nodded to Hu Yanjiong: "Quick! Dalang, you and Zai Zhang accompany Jiong in!"

On the way back to the courtyard,

Sun took Anmei's arm and whispered:
"What did I tell you before? Why are you making such a fuss? And why are you dragging my son-in-law here so early?"

Mrs. Xie on the side also looked at An Mei.

An Mei looked at Sun with an innocent face, then glanced at Hu Yanjiong in front of her, and then looked at Xu Zaijing who was following Sun on the outside.

An Mei took a deep breath, leaned forward and whispered, "Xu Zaijing! Did you pretend to convey your mother's wishes?"

Xu Zaijing didn't say anything as he was pulled over by Sun, who pushed his arm angrily. An Mei, not to be outdone, punched him as well.

Mrs. Xie also looked at her brother-in-law unhappily.

"Sister, don't do this in Huyan's house!"

As soon as Xu Zaijing finished speaking, Sun kicked him. Xu Zaijing was kicked on the buttocks and ran forward a few steps, walking side by side with his brothers.

Looking at the little son in front of me,

Sun whispered beside An Mei, "Since your wedding day, this kid hasn't come to my place for breakfast or dinner for several days."

An Mei asked in confusion: "What's going on?" and looked at her sister-in-law Xie.

Sun looked at An Mei and said:

"Who knows what's wrong with him."

"Your maternal grandparents, your aunt got married, and your uncles didn't do this to him!"

An Mei looked at her younger brother who was speaking in front of her and said:

"But, mother, you were there at that time? You were the youngest!"

"Did you ask your grandmother how your uncles reacted after you got married?"

Hearing An Mei's words, Sun Shi chuckled and said,
"Your grandmother told me that after I got into the sedan chair, your six uncles all cried."

"Especially your uncle's snot and tears."

Xie was standing aside and whispered:
"Sister An, your elder brother..."

"Hualan also said that Zai Zhang threw himself into her arms."

As she spoke, Xie lowered the corners of her mouth and made a crying expression on her face.

An Mei nodded and looked at Xu Zaijing who was laughing in front of her: "Xiao Wu is thinking about this, he must not be crying!"

Sun said:
"Who knows? He gets up so early every day! We can't see him crying."

"but."

Looking at her daughter and daughter-in-law who were looking over curiously, Sun said:

"But I heard from the maid in the backyard that these days, after he finishes his meal in his own yard, he often strolls over to sit at the gate of your and your sister's yard after dark."

An Mei took a deep breath with melancholy, and said, "It's not in vain that I love him."

Everyone entered Sun's yard.
After breakfast,
Jae-duan took his brother and brother-in-law to his study.

An Mei kissed Xu Xingdai, then leaned against Hua Lan's belly and listened lovingly.

After work,
An Mei drank her tea and whispered to Sun:

"Mother, since I got married, have you received many invitations from Madam Wu?"
