Do you know: I am Xu Jiazi

Chapter 336 Yes! All 2 [Thank you for your support! Goodbye! ]

祝宅
After the Sheng family carriage left,
Ni Qi Qiu and several other ladies returned to the hall and sat down to drink tea.

The ladies would also say a few words from time to time, mostly about the situations of their cousins ​​and nephews, and others would also join in on the discussion.

During the discussion, they also inserted a few words to discuss Xiaodie's embroidery skills.

Ni Qi Qiu listened to the ladies' words and nodded from time to time.

After everyone talked for a while, Mrs. Jin, who had just admired the style of Xiaodie's clothes, looked at the sky and stood up and said:
"Sister Xiaodie has seen it, it's getting late! Sisters, shall we go back?"

As she spoke she glanced around at the others.

After hearing this, one of the two silent girls looked a little disappointed.

The ladies also nodded and stood up.

"We have to go back!"

Ni Qiqiu stood up and said with a smile: "Sisters, let's talk for a while, you can stay at my house for dinner today!"

“No, no.”

The ladies declined and walked out.

When they were almost at the door, Ni Qiqiu said, "Let's wait until we have discussed it. Madam Wang from the Sheng family also said she wanted to take a look!"

Mrs. Jin said, "Wow! This lady from a civil servant's family is really particular."

Ni Qiqiu nodded and said:

"Yes! The old lady of the Sheng family is from a noble family. She can always empathize with people like us who come from fighting families."

"When I went to the Sheng family to visit Sister Xiaodie, the old lady specifically told me to do so when I said goodbye."

"After hearing what the old lady said, Madam Wang took the responsibility of this matter herself."

Of course, at that time, Wei Shuyi and Wei Xiaoniang would most likely stay with Wang Ruofu.

The ladies nodded in agreement and walked out of the yard.

When we got close to the gate,
Madam Jin asked, "Is Wang Shi from the Kang family in Xiguozi Lane the younger sister of this person from the Sheng family?"

Ni Qiqiu's eyes were full of thought, and he shook his head and said, "No! The eldest lady of the Kang family is my sister!"

"Oh!"

Mrs. Jin nodded.

Hearing this, the little girl following behind curled her lips in disdain and said:

"I heard that the inner house of the Kang family is not peaceful. Lord Kang brings his concubine home every few days."

When she wanted to continue speaking, Mrs. Jin looked back at her and glared at her fiercely: "Little sister!"

Another lady at the side quickly changed the subject and said:
"Mrs. Sheng is indeed a girl from the Wang family. She always protects the family's reputation!"

"If this happens, people who know about this will definitely praise you for taking good care of your maid, and your good reputation will spread!"

"Not bad!"

At this time,

The servant at the door of Zhu's house came over, bowed and said, "Madam, Brother Yue is here."

The girl who had just pouted was given a teasing look by her good friend standing beside her.

outside the door,

"Shut up!"

Qian Bo, the coachman of the Sheng family, pulled the horse hard to stop the carriage.

Looking at the street they had just left and the servants at the door bowing to the young man, Qian Bo looked back at the carriage and said:
"Miss Xiaodie, this seems to be a relative's house!"

In the carriage, Xiaodie lifted the curtain and looked at the Zhu family's gate. There was some hesitation and contradiction in her eyes, but she finally lowered the curtain and said:
"Qian Bo, wait here!"

After she finished speaking, a while later, Xiaodie heard voices coming from outside the car.

After she secretly encouraged herself in the carriage, she opened the curtain and walked out.

Ni Qiqiu looked fierce as he led the ladies out of the gate.
At first she was a little angry, thinking that her brother had met a shrew from Bianjing who was trying to cheat him out of money.

But looking at the Sheng family's carriage at the door, and Xiaodie who walked out of the carriage with wounds on her hands and torn clothes, she glared at her brother hatefully.

The ladies behind also exclaimed: "Why is this happening?"

Xiaodie looked at the people coming out, forced a smile and looked at Ni Qiqiu, Xiaodie said:
"Madam, I..."

"Sister Xiaodie, is it because he is just reading a book and not paying attention to the road?"

Xiaodie nodded and said, "Yes, Madam! This dress is actually my new dress, made of the material she treasured!"

"She never wore it once! I..."

Hearing Xiaodie's words, Ni Tengyue lowered his head in shame.

Ni Qiqiu nodded: "I understand, I understand."

As she spoke, she came to Xiaodie, pulled her hand, which was hidden behind her back, in front of her, and looked at her scratched palm.

Ni Qiqiu looked at the servant of the Zhu family and said, "Go and get the piece of fabric that my aunt sent, and the hemostatic powder."

When Ni Qiqiu was talking, the two girls following behind him looked at him curiously.

Listening to the conversation, the girl from the Jin family, who had a crush on Ni Tengyue, glanced at Ni Tengyue and whispered:
"We are relatives now, shouldn't she say that she doesn't need to pay compensation?"

"Brother Ni didn't mean it! She's so stingy!"

"It's a waste of time that Madam Ni took so much trouble to find her a husband!"

"Humph!"

Ni Tengyue, who was standing next to his sister, listened to the conversation between the two people not far away, and looked at Xiaodie beside the carriage with some apology.

Mrs. Jin glared back and the two girls immediately shut up.

quickly,

The maid of the Zhu family brought out a piece of precious and bright fabric.

Looking at the material in the maid's hand, Xiaodie quickly declined, "Madam, this is too precious, I can't take it!"

Ni Qiqiu shook his head and said, "You have to take it. You were injured and didn't even ask him for medical expenses!"

"Take it!"

As he said this, he rolled his eyes at Ni Tengyue.

Xiaodie pursed her lips, looked at her clothes, nodded and said:

"Thank you, Madam! It's almost time to leave the house, so I will..."

"Go!"

Soon, the people in front of Zhu's house dispersed.

After watching everyone leave, Ni Qiqiu turned around and patted Ni Tengyue on the arm, saying:
"Did you become stupid studying at the Li family?"

"Walking down the street and reading again?"

Ni Tengyue lowered his head.

"Come on, follow me in to see my mother-in-law!"

Inner Courtyard,
Xu Zaijing's aunt looked at Ni Tengyue who walked in and a gratified smile appeared on her face.

When she returned to the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion before, she heard a lot of praise from Madam Sun about the Li family's praise for Ni Tengyue.

If Ni Tengyue could pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi in the future, both the descendants of the Zhu family and the Xu family would have more help in officialdom.

On the way back home,

Mrs. Jin, who was at Zhu's house just now, glanced at her little sister who was sitting in the same car with her and said:

"Do you know why I glared at you just now?"

Jin Xiaomei lifted the car curtain and looked outside without saying a word.

Madam Jin slapped the curtain down and said, "I'm asking you a question!"

Jin Xiaomei said indifferently:

"Isn't it just asking me to stop talking?"

"But the Kang family is a rotten family. Our eldest cousin, who was born out of wedlock in our uncle's family, has suffered so much injustice in the Kang family!"

Mrs. Jin glared and said:
"She and Lord Kang fell in love with each other and were willing to become his concubine!"

"No one forced her!"

Little Sister Jin snorted and said, "Then our family has often asked our eldest cousin to ask her to ask the Kang family to do something!"

"you!"

Mrs. Jin, who was choked, nodded the girl's head vigorously and said:
"Do you know how the boy from the Ni family that you like got into the Li family school?"

Jin Xiaomei was stunned, tilted her head and continued to look outside the car, denying:

"Who likes him!" "Humph! Besides, Brother Ni was able to enter the private school because of his real talent and knowledge!"

Madam Jin sneered:
"laugh!"

"Your brother-in-law told me a long time ago that the Ni family followed the path of the eldest lady of the Sheng family and begged the Wang family to allow the Ni family's son to enter the academy."

Jin Xiaomei was stunned and said, "Ah? Wang family? What's the relationship with the Li family?"

Madam Jin said, "Humph! Madam Wang and Minister Li are cousins!"

"You said the Wang family is not good, how can Madam Ni like you?"

Jin Xiaomei was stunned and asked anxiously: "Ah? Sister, what should we do?"

"No way! Put away all your little thoughts, you two are not the same kind of people!"

Jiying Lane

Moriya
Wei Ruixuan

Wang Ruofu let Mama Liu pat her back.
She sighed deeply, looked at Rulan who was laughing heartlessly after school, and said:

"Ru'er, laugh softly!"

Rulan glanced at her mother and said, "Oh!" and then asked:

"Mother, why are you sighing?"

Wang Ruofu shook her head: "It's okay!"

Rulan: "Oh! Mother, I will go back to my room then."

"Ah."

Watching Rulan walk away, Wang Ruofu sighed again: "Why didn't I give Huaer more silver bills at that time!"

Caihuan walked to the door, bowed and said, "Madam, Miss Xiaodie's pair of cards have returned."

"Ah."

Then, Wang Ruofu continued: "Mother Liu, why was I so stupid at that time? If I had given Hua'er 4,000 strings of cash, what would I have gotten now..."

Jin'anzhai

On the table lay the precious material and Xiaodie's new clothes that she had already taken off.

Wei Shuyi sat on an embroidered cushion and carefully untied the fine cloth that Xiaodie had wrapped around her palm.

Seeing that his palm was no longer bleeding, Wei Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiaodie, who was standing, smiled and said:
"Girl, I said it's okay!"

"The medicine given by the Zhu family is really good!"

Wei Shuyi glanced at her unhappily and said, "I've done so much for you, and you're asking my brother for money? How can you be so kind?"

Xiaodie let Wei Shuyi tie the fine cloth around her wound again and said:
"No matter if it works or not, I'll always be by your side! You've never worn this dress once!"

"Besides, it was me who was knocked down this time! If it happened to any other girl, he would have to be held responsible!"

"If it's an ugly one, he'll regret it for the rest of his life! I'm just teaching him a lesson!"

Wei Shuyi, who was sitting on the embroidered cushion, smiled helplessly and shook his head.

He touched the material of the new clothes, and then touched the one that Ni Qi Qiu asked Xiao Die to bring back.

Xiaodie on the side said with deep feeling:
"My dear, we thought the material of the new dress was good enough before, but it's a pity that it can't compare to this one."

In early March, Qingming Festival has passed.

The sky cleared up after the rain.

The end of the day (after 11:00 a.m.)

The spring breeze blows through the willow trees in Jinming Lake Garden, and the leaves sway gently in the wind.

The water surface was also wrinkled by the spring breeze and reflected the sunlight, sparkling.

At this time, today's dragon boat competition has already ended.
Several cruise ships belonging to high-ranking officials in the capital were untied and lowered into the Jinming Lake.

Beside Ningyuan Hou's cruise ship, there were several strong women around, holding long bamboo poles and pushing the cruise ship forward.

This cruise ship is about 40 to 50 feet long and more than 150 feet wide.

The deck is surrounded by half-person-high wooden railings, a small archway is built in front of the flat deck, and a large one-story pavilion is built behind it.

The pavilion is surrounded by translucent gauze to block sight and prevent mosquitoes.

In the pavilion on the boat, maids stood around.

The noble ladies sitting in the middle were all wearing newly made spring clothes of different colors and styles, and had exquisite jewelry of extraordinary value on their heads.

On the table fixed on the deck, a kettle was humming with steam on a portable charcoal stove.

Chai Zhengzheng was sitting behind the table, making tea by herself. After looking at the quality of the tea in the teacup, she stopped what she was doing.

Then Chai Zhengzheng held the teacup and looked at Tingyi and said with a smile: "Sister Tingyi, please have some tea."

Ting Yi took the teacup in a serious manner, took a careful sniff, and nodded, "Hmm! Zheng Zheng, your tea is very good."

Chai Zhengzheng said with surprise: "Really?"

"But it's still some distance away from me."

Hearing Gu Tingyi's words, the other noble ladies in the pavilion all laughed.

Zhang Jia Wu Niang, who was fishing by the boat, turned her head suddenly and said in an angry tone:
"Hey! Stop making so much noise. You've ruined my fish!"

As she spoke, Wu Niang lifted up the fishhook with the bait still on it, took a look at it, and then put the fishhook back into the water.

Next to Zhang's Fifth Mother, the nearsighted Li's Fifth Mother, who was watching the fishing, also nodded and said:

"I just saw Sister Zhang's fishing float move!"

The girls on the boat quickly covered their mouths.

Hai Chaoyun, who was sitting next to Gu Tingyi, whispered, "Sister Tingyi, is Zhang Jia Wu Niang's fishing skills really as good as she said?"

Gu Tingyi nodded and said, "Well, when I went to the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion to play before, I heard from Sister Anmei that Wu Niang once caught a fish with a piece of water grass!"

Hai Chaoyun said in surprise: "Ah? Waterweed?"

Gu Tingyi nodded, and Zhang Jiawu Niang straightened her back and sat up straighter.

And the look in the eyes of Li Jia Wu Niang beside her was even more admiring.

Rong Feiyan asked, "Is it in the water beside the racecourse of Yongyi Marquis's residence?"

Gu Tingyi: "Yes, yes, sister Feiyan, have you been to the Xu family too?"

Rong Feiyan smiled and nodded, "I went there to play before Sister Anmei got married."

Wu Niang, with her back to the crowd, said, "By the way, why haven't I seen Sister An Mei these days?"

Gu Tingyi opened his mouth to speak, but the words circled around in his mouth and said, "I heard that he was not feeling well."

After saying that, facing Chai Zhengzheng's somewhat doubtful eyes, Gu Tingyi hurriedly lowered his head and drank a sip of tea, saying: "Well, it tastes much better than the tea I made!"

Rong Feiyan on the side lowered her head, her fingers moving slightly, as if she was thinking about something.

Hai Chaoyun, who was sitting at the table, took in the expressions and eyes of these noble ladies. There was some confusion in her eyes, but it did not show on her face.

At this moment, Zhang Jia Wu Niang suddenly said:

“Yes! Yes!!”

The sound attracted Chai Zhengzheng's attention.

Gu Tingyi, holding tea in his mouth, raised his head and looked at Zhang's Wu Niang with surprise: Wu Niang, how did she know?
Before Gu Tingyi could react, Wu Niang had already stood up, and the fishing rod in her hand had been bent by the pulling!
"A fish is hooked!"

Seeing that the girls were all moving towards Wu Niang, Madam Fan from the Duke of Yingguo's mansion in the pavilion hurriedly waved her hand and the maids all moved to the opposite position of Wu Niang.

To prevent people from going to one side and something dangerous happening on the cruise ship.

Rong Feiyan and Hai Chaoyun also came over.

Gu Tingyi did not move. She glanced in the direction of the two Wuniangs and whispered to Chai Zhengzheng:

"Zheng Zheng, I heard from mother that you have earned a lot of money?"

Chai Zhengzheng, who was still making tea, was stunned. She didn't know what she was thinking about. Maybe it was someone she thought of when she made the decision.

So she smiled and said:
"Yes! I just heard from my mother that the Queen wanted the Cao family to do something and they needed money!"

"I just put some of my pocket money into it."

Gu Tingyi nodded and whispered, "Me too, how much did you invest? I invested this amount."

As he spoke, Gu Tingyi raised a finger.

Chai Zhengzheng smiled and raised two fingers.

Gu Tingyi said: "Ah? You invested 2,000 strings of cash? Didn't that mean you received it two days ago?"

Chai Zhengzheng looked at her raised index and middle fingers, the smile on her face froze, but she still nodded.

Yes, it’s two!
