Do you know: I am Xu Jiazi

Chapter 328 Mother, these guys are so childish [Thank you all for your support! Goodbye! ]

Rong Feiyan pursed her lips and whispered:
"Don't lead him astray!"

Looking at the two people walking towards the Xu family tent, Rong Feiyan said curiously:
"Hey, why are there so few carriages and horses from the Xu family today?"

"Why isn't even his personal servant with him?"

Rong Feiyan looked around and said:

"Miss, it should be the lady of the Marquis' Mansion who is following His Majesty and the Queen! She may be in the Linshui Palace now."

Rong Feiyan nodded.

Ningxiang on the other side reminded: "Miss, behind the tent of Duke Qi's Mansion over there, it seems that Madam Chai has got off the carriage!"

Hearing this, Rong Feiyan turned around and looked over.
Just then, I saw Chai Zhengzheng, wearing emerald green jewelry on his head and light-colored clothes, walking out of the carriage.
Chai Zhengzheng, who had just come out, did not go down immediately. Instead, he stood on a high place and looked around.

After a pause, he got off the carriage with a smile on his face.

At this time, Xu Zaijing and Rongxian had already walked to the Xu family's tent by the pond.

Like every other household, Qingcao and other maids and servants began to busy themselves with setting up the tents, making tea and burning incense.

After Rong Xian agreed to have fun together when they had time, he bowed and said goodbye, returning to the Rong family's tent.

At this time, Xu Zaijing had already entered his tent.

After getting off the horse, Rong Xian smiled at his younger sister ingratiatingly and said:

"Sister, I want to borrow some silver from you and I will pay you back after I get paid!"

Rong Feiyan rolled her eyes at her brother and said angrily, "No."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the tent.

Rong Xian took a few quick steps to catch up, passing the two maids and walking side by side with Rong Feiyan:

"Sister, I swear, I am not borrowing money to go to Qiyun Tower or Feiyun Terrace or anywhere else, but for my health!"

Rong Feiyan walked into the tent and sat on the chair. Thinking about Nanny Kong's teachings, she straightened her back and looked towards the Jinming Lake outside the tent.

Not far away, the sound of music played by Jiaofangsi and Jun Rongzhi came from the water.

The maid who followed in walked slowly and took a cup of tea from the little maid. When she was about to serve the tea to her girl, Rong Xian blocked her way.

Rong Xian took the teacup from Xi Bu, his eyes gleaming, and while handing the tea to Rong Fei Yan, he continued to smile ingratiatingly:
"Sister, this is the secret recipe that Xu Jia Wulang told your brother and me!"

Hearing Rong Xian's words, Rong Feiyan paused for a moment while taking the teacup, bit her teeth lightly, narrowed her eyes and asked:

"How much?"

Rong Xian's eyes were full of pride. He tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth and said, "Two hundred strings of cash!"

Rong Feiyan: “No!”

Seeing his sister drinking tea after decisively refusing, Rong Xian couldn't raise his lips at all. He rolled his eyes and said helplessly:

"Okay, okay! Just one hundred strings of cash!"

Rong Feiyan waved her hand and said, "Okay!"

Ningxiang, who heard the conversation, walked to the side and opened a wooden box.

Taking the silver from Ningxiang, Rongxian put it into his sleeve with a smile. He glanced at his sister, walked to the door, and said, "Stingy!"

After saying that, he walked out quickly.

Rong Feiyan put down the teacup angrily and looked at Rong Xian's figure outside the tent.

"Brother, you better not have a next time!"

"Otherwise you'll be in trouble!"

Rong Feiyan said bitterly.

"Don't worry, sister. If it happens again, I'll be a dog!"

Rong Xian's voice came from afar.

Xi Bu, who was standing by, put a plate of candied fruit on the table and said:
"Miss, I think you gave me too much."

Rong Feiyan nodded, looking at the shimmering Jinming Lake outside the tent, wondering what she was thinking about.
He whispered, "You have to be more careful this year. You must not fall again."

"Yes, girl."

The tent of the Duke of Qi's mansion,

Led by the maid of the Duke of Qi's Mansion, Madam Chai, who was invited by Princess Pingning, came out from behind the tent with Chai Zhengzheng.

As soon as they entered the tent, the two nobles of the Chai family heard the laughter of Madam Wu coming from inside:
"Ouch! That's what I said!"

"Whoever gets this jade sculpture of peony on the Jinming Pond will be blessed!"

"Look at the fifth branch of the Huyan family, and then look at Sister An's marriage, it's really good!"

When they saw Madam Chai come in, the ladies stood up and greeted her.

Chai Zhengzheng followed behind his mother, squatting slightly and bowing to the ladies in the tent.

After the greetings, Chai Zhengzheng stood beside his mother.
Looking at the ladies sitting in the tent, she had met most of them once or twice.

There is no need to say much about Princess Pingning,

Sitting at the lower table was Madam Bai from the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion, and standing next to the chair where she sat were the familiar Gu Tingyi and her brother.

Madam Wu of the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion had two women dressed up standing behind her. Next to the two women was a pretty girl.
When Chai Zhengzheng just came in, the girl's eyes were full of surprise, and then she glanced at Liang Han who was beside Madam Wu without leaving a trace.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Liang Han was not staring at Chai Zhengzheng.

All these actions were seen by Chai Zhengzheng.

But she had never seen the woman sitting opposite Mrs. Wu.

From the introduction just now, it seems that she is the eldest lady of the Qiao family, and she has a very good relationship with Mrs. Wu.

Thinking of this, Chai Zhengzheng glanced at Gu Tingyi, and Tingyi, receiving the "signal", blinked his eye mischievously.

Continuing with the topic of the blessing of Jin Mingchi winning the prize of peony jade carving,
The ladies in the tent tacitly did not mention the eldest wife of the Huyan family who won the second prize and the peony jade carving last year.

In fact, if someone really talks about it, there is something to say. After all, the behavior of the Marquis of Jinghai's eldest wife enriching herself, "stealing the wall of the Great Zhou", and "fleecing the Great Zhou" is

How can there be good fortune? And how can we receive good fortune?

The ladies were talking happily, and the young men in the field were also exchanging glances.

Especially Chai Zhengzheng, who stood calmly beside Mrs. Chai, his temperament and color were too outstanding.

Qiao Jiulang was too embarrassed to look at her and could only look at the girl behind Liang Han.

At this time, Qiao Jiu saw Liang Han on the opposite side glance at Chai Zhengzheng, wink at him, and secretly raised his thumb.
After Qiao Jiulang took a peek, he nodded slightly and also secretly gave a thumbs up.

Qi Heng looked at the two of them, raised his fist to his mouth and cleared his throat: "Ahem!"

The two of them quickly put their thumbs down.

When the two of them looked at Qi Heng, they happened to see the look in Chai Zhengzheng's eyes.

Qiao Jiulang and Liang Liulang quickly averted their gazes, looking away somewhat embarrassedly.

Hearing Qi Heng's cough,

Ting Yi took a quick look and took in the situation in the tent. He leaned over to Mrs. Bai's right ear and said, "Mother, these boys are so childish."

When Mrs. Bai heard this, she smiled and glanced at Chai Zhengzheng, then turned her head to the left to glance at her own son.

But what was seen was Gu Tingye's hands clasped in front of his abdomen above his belt, with his right thumb awkwardly placed on the base of his left hand. If one didn't know, one would have thought he was bowing.

Moreover, Gu Tingye's ears and face tended to turn red.

Mrs. Bai glared at her son and sat up straight.

The left arm is pressed on the right arm and crossed in front of the chest.

Then, under the cover of her wide sleeves, Mrs. Bai stretched out her right hand to Gu Tingye's thigh and twisted it hard.

Gu Tingye quickly looked outside the tent and said softly, "Mother, I was wrong!"

Only then did Mrs. Bai let go.

At this time, the maid of the Duke of Qi came over and whispered a few words in the ear of the nanny at the door.

When Mammy came over to tell me,
The ladies in the tent took the opportunity to stop singing and drink some tea.

After listening to the nanny's words, Princess Pingning smiled and said:

"Ladies, please wait for the eldest lady of the Fuguogong Dou family to come over." "The Fuguogong was a classmate of my Duke Guo. When we were children, we often played in front of the Queen's lap."

Princess Pingning thought for a moment and said to Qi Heng:
"Brother Heng, you, Brother Ye, Liu Lang and the others should go out and play!"

"Go from the back and don't bump into the guests."

After hearing this, the young men in the tent looked at each other and walked behind the tent together.

Somehow, when they passed in front of Chai Zhengzheng, they all walked a few steps faster.

Just as I walked behind the tent, a woman's voice came from the door:

"My Lady Princess, long time no see!"

The ladies in the tent also stood up.
Hearing this voice, Gu Tingye, who was walking at the back, looked back and said as he walked:

"This duke's wife brings two little maids like this?"

Qi Heng, who was standing by, stopped and looked back, saying:
"Uncle, what little maid? They are the two legitimate daughters of the Duke's Mansion."

Gu Tingye raised his eyebrows.

Hearing the conversation and seeing the two people's reactions, Qiao Jiulang and Liang Liulang, who were walking in front, became curious.

After they stepped back and took a look, they looked at each other meaningfully.

The four of them came behind the tent.

In the sunshine, Liang Han asked, "Where are we going?"

Looking at the dragon colt being unsaddled near the Xu family's tent not far away, Gu Tingye pointed and said:

"Go find Brother Jing!"

No matter what, Sheng Hong is now an official from the Ministry of Personnel who passed the imperial examination.
It was well known that he had fainted in the government office while "going to work" to handle official business while sick.

The emperor has heard of it.

Moreover, the daughter was married to the Yongyi Marquis's mansion, which was a legitimate place for her to be employed, and she was pregnant.

Therefore, this year the Sheng family's tent was moved further south than last year.

At the entrance of Sheng's tent,

Changbai frowned and looked at the books in the bookcase, saying:

"How come all of this is what I watched when I was a kid? Did you get the wrong Hanniu?"

The servant Han Niu beside him bowed and said, "Sir, this is what the lady ordered! She said you are diligent enough, so take it easy today."

Changbai shook his head and sighed.

At this time,

Chang Feng came over and took Chang Bai's arm, saying:
"Brother, let's go, let's go check out Brother Jing or Brother Ye!"

"Maybe Jiulang and Liulang are there!"

Changbai said helplessly: "I want to read a book!"

Rulan advised: "Second brother, we can go see big sister while we're at it!"

Changbai glared at Rulan and said, "Eldest sister must be staying at home to take care of her pregnancy. If you want to see her, go to Quyuan Street."

Rulan pouted.

Mo Lan at the door was holding her poetry collection 'Mo Yuan', and looking towards the tent further south from time to time.

Minglan, who was standing at the innermost, lifted the lid of the food box and looked at the four crispy snails lying inside.
She turned her eyes, walked over with Xiao Tao, and said:
"Brother Changbai, maybe cousin Jing has brought some books as well?"

"Why don't we go take a look?"

"If my cousin comes with some books, we can go there and you can read them too!"

Changbai was stunned, his eyes full of approval, and he pointed his finger at Minglan in the air.

Chang Feng felt that the force of Chang Bai in his hand to break free was much weaker.
Then the brothers and sisters, along with their servants, walked towards the Xu family's tent.

Inside the door of Xu's tent,

Qingcao, who was standing here, looked at the Sheng brothers and sisters who were coming over.
She walked outside with a smile, bowed and said, "Hello, Erlang, Sanlang, and Sixiaoniang."

Sharp-eyed Rulan looked inside and said in a jump:
"Second brother, look what I said, my cousin is just reading a book!"

The magpie beside Rulan whispered:

"Girl, it was the Sixth Girl who said that."

"What Xiaoliu said is what I said!"

In the tent,
Xu Zaijing, who was reading a book with a teacup in his hand, looked outside, put down the teacup and book somewhat embarrassedly, and said with a smile:

"Changbai, haha, you're here."

Changbai at the door nodded at Xu Zaijing with a smile, and after he walked in, he said with a smile:
"Brother Jing, can you bring a few more books?"

Xu Zaijing gestured to Qingcao, and soon Qingcao came over carrying a book box.

"Find it yourself!"

Chang Feng on the side said boredly:
"Brother Jing, why don't you and brother take a break? Just reading is so boring!"

"Brother Jing, will Qiao Jiulang come here?"

Xu Zaijing shook his head and said:

"They probably won't come. I heard from Rong Xian that several families have contributed two to three thousand strings of cash each, and each family has chartered a small dragon boat today."

Chang Feng asked in confusion: "Ah? Brother Jing, why are they chartering this little dragon boat?"

Xu Zaijing replied:
"For the peony jade carvings and other things on the pole!"

"I heard that now the nobles in Bianjing have spread the word that the prize won in Jinmingchi has the effect of a happy marriage, harmonious marriage, and avoiding misfortune."

Chang Feng, Chang Bai and other siblings looked at each other and asked in confusion: "Brother Jing, how did this spread? I haven't heard of it before!"

Xu Zaijing scratched his forehead embarrassedly and said:
"Rong Xian said that it started to spread after my sister got married."

"Today, the number of winners has increased from two to four! The first two times were from royal family members and nobles, and the last two times were from ministers in the court."

"I heard that in order to have fun with the people until the garden closed, His Majesty ordered the Director of Works to prepare thirty-six precious prizes with good meanings."

Of course, the cost of 'registration for a dragon boat' will vary depending on the situation.

Chang Feng scratched his head and said, "This, our family has never heard of it."

At this time,

Hua Xiang, who was behind the tent, came over, bowed, and said in a crisp voice, "Sir, the Duke of Qi, the Marquis of Ningyuan, the Marquis of Yongchang, and the boy from the Qiao family are here."

Xu Zaijing was stunned, then looked at Changbai.

The three sisters in Changbai's family said, "You guys go back first."

Before Minglan could say anything, she hurried to Xu Zaijing's table and said, "Cousin, this is the pastry I'm returning to you."

Xu Zaijing smiled slightly.

Afterwards, the three Lans came out of the tent and walked towards their own tents accompanied by their servants.

"Invite them in."

Flowers should be like this.

But Xu Zaijing, Changbai and the others waited for a long time, but no one came in.

Xu Zaijing pinched his brows, he knew what these people were doing.

Jinming Lake,
In the huge tent in front of the Linshui Palace,

The emperor and the empress sat at the top, talking to the prince Zhao Fang.

Wang Ruofu and Liu's mother sat behind a table.
Mother Liu was still very nervous.

Wang Ruofu was a little stiff trying to maintain her smile, which made her cheeks sore.

Looking at Sheng Hong not far away,

Wang Ruofu still feels like her head is buzzing.
Did Wang Ruofu actually meet the emperor and the empress?

God!
