Do you know: I am Xu Jiazi

Chapter 355 Let’s have fun together [Thank you all for your support! Goodbye! ]

Zhuang Xueji stroked his white beard with one hand and held a folding fan in the other, then left the school with brisk steps.

In the lecture hall,
Gu Tingye didn't sit down. He waved to Zhique behind him and said, "Come on, pack up your things, let's go to Gaole Gaole!"

The servant Hanniu walked to Changbai's desk and asked, "Sir, what about us?"

Changbai stood up and said, "Go back to the study!"

The servant Hanniu: "Ah???"

At this time, Zai Zhang came over, put his arm around Chang Bai's shoulders, and said, "Why go back to the study room! Brother Bai, go out with Er Lang, Brother Jing and the others! You can't just study without taking a break!"

Changbai looked at Zai Zhang in embarrassment and said, "Brother-in-law, I rested yesterday."

Zai Zhang: "Then come back another day."

Chang Feng at the back was even happier. He was already tidying up the pens, inkstones, and paper on the desk. After the servant came over to take over, Chang Feng looked at Gu Tingye and said:

"Second Brother Gu, I wonder if Qiao Jiulang has gotten up yet!"

Gu Tingye glanced at Xu Zaijing with a smile on his face: "Let's go and take a look later, then we'll know! Who knows, we might even be able to see Yunniang without her veil!"

Chang Feng looked at Xu Zaijing who nodded: "Hehe! Second Brother Gu is right!"

It's no wonder that Chang Feng is happy. It's because he's going to have fun with Gu Tingye and Xu Zaijing today. With these two brothers around, Chang Feng basically doesn't need to pay for his own fun.

Seeing her brother like this, Molan, who was sitting in the front row, secretly rolled her eyes at Changfeng. After Yunzai and Luzhong packed up their things, they went straight to Linqi Pavilion.

Rulan curled her lips at Molan who was leaving, then turned to Minglan and said:
"Sixth sister, I have some time today. I heard from Xi Que that you and Mama Fang have just learned how to roast lamb. I have to test you and see how much you have learned!"

Minglan smacked her lips and nodded quickly.

After a lot of work,

Everyone rode their horses onto the carriages and filed out of the Sheng family's gate.

Zai Zhang, who came out first, looked back at the people behind him, untied the pouch at his waist, took out the silver bills inside and said:

"Xiaowu, you had a great time playing with them! I'm going to go back and see your sister-in-law and nephew first."

Xu Zaijing: "Hey~Brother!"

Hearing Xu Zaijing's voice, Zai Zhang waved and rode away on horseback.

When Gu Tingye, Qi Heng and others came out, Zai Zhang was about to disappear at the entrance of the alley.

"Why did my brother-in-law leave?"

Chang Feng asked as he looked at Zai Zhang's figure.

Xu Zaijing explained a few words, and Changbai, who was following behind and heard Xu Zaijing's words, smiled slightly.

At this time, Qi Heng shouted from behind: "Brother Jing!"

Xu Zaijing looked back.

After some conversation.

It turned out that, whether for safety or to avoid suspicion, Qi Heng always rode in a carriage when he came to Sheng's house to go to school.

But it’s not a good idea to go out and play in a carriage today.

Qi Heng bowed and continued, "Brother Jing, so I wanted to ride Qingyun's mount."

After Xu Zaijing gestured to Qingyun, Qingyun gave up his mount and sat in front of the Xu family's carriage.

When everyone was about to set off, Qi Heng's servant Buwei did not get on the Qi family's carriage. Instead, he jumped onto the shaft next to Qingyun and sat down.

Then, the group walked out of the alley.

On the way, Buwei kept calling "Brother Qingyun" which attracted the little maid Hua in the carriage to curiously lift the curtain and take a look.

After talking and discussing for a while, the group decided that the first place to go this time was Panlou.

After all, Pan Building was very lively yesterday, and who knows, maybe we could see Yunniang’s true face.

Out of the alley,

The noisy sounds around became louder.

"Selling peaches~ Juicy and sweet~"

"Papaya~"

"Melon~ Crunchy and sweet melon~"

"The Baigao Kingdom has been punished by the earth and heaven for its perverse actions. Our Great Zhou has been commanded by heaven to recover our homeland!"

Xu Zaijing heard the shouts of the Imperial Guards knights not far away, and the content was still about the great victory in the northwest in the early morning.

But listening to the knight's voice, it seemed a little hoarse.

Thinking about this, Xu Zaijing looked at the fruit vendors driving ox carts on the street, and then looked at the knights running towards the crowd.

Just as he was about to wave to the Royal Guard Knight, a stall owner on the roadside came up to the Royal Guard Knight with a washed melon and shouted:
"Master, eat some melon to moisten your throat!"

The Royal Guard knight waved the whip in his hand and said, "No, I don't have any money either."

"No money! Just consider it as my filial tribute!"

When the two of them were talking,
Xu Zaijing and his group had also come closer.

The Imperial Guard knight took a look at Xu Zaijing and his group, and did not continue to talk to the stall owner. Instead, he held the whip in his hand and bowed to Xu Zaijing and his group:
"I greet you all, my humble servant."

Gu Tingye, who was riding on a horse, looked at the knight curiously and asked, "Do you know us?"

The imperial guard knight said, "Replying to Erlang, I have always been following the brother of Rong, the Marquis of Fuchang!"

Gu Tingye smiled and said, "Oh! It's Rong Xian!"

"Yes!"

Xu Zaijing took a look at the knight's appearance. It was a little hard to recognize him with the helmet on. From his memory, he was one of the tall and strong servants who followed Rongxian.

Xu Zaijing smiled and nodded, then said, "Your throat is a little hoarse, eat something to moisten it."

Guard Knight: "Yes!"

After finishing speaking, Xu Zaijing said to the vendor who was holding melons nearby: "I want your cart of melons! Qingyun!"

Qingyun behind him took out the silver quickly.

After Qingyun gave the Imperial Guard knight a few melons, the knight prepared to leave and continued to shout along the street.

The vendor looked at the three expensive horse-drawn carriages and hesitated to drive the ox-drawn cart to follow them.

Seeing this, other vendors came closer to the Royal Guard Knight, wanting to let the knight taste their own fruits.

The knight looked at Xu Zaijing beside him embarrassedly, with a fierce look on his face, and was about to whip the vendors to drive them away.

"Wait a minute!"

Xu Zaijing shouted, and the knight quickly stopped his action.

"Qingyun!"

As he spoke, Xu Zaijing raised his chin.

"Yes, son!"

After Qingyun understood the intention, he started to take out money.

Gu Tingye, who was beside Xu Zaijing, came over and asked, "Brother Jing, what are you doing?"

Xu Zaijing said: "Erlang, I am happy today!"

Seeing this, the Royal Guard Knight cleared his throat, cupped his hands and said loudly:
"Everyone! Everyone!"

"This is Wulang from the Xu family, the Marquis of Yongyi! Brother Jing!"

"As for me, I follow Xian'er, the Rong family of Fuchang Marquis, who is serving in the Imperial Guards!"

The knight held a whip in his hand, pointed at the fruit vendors around him and said:

"If I find out that you are being cunning and trying to deceive Wu Lang by passing off inferior goods as good ones, then you'll be in trouble! You'll suffer the consequences!"

"If you don't know who Rong's brother is, then ask around!"

After hearing what the knight said and knowing the identities of Xu Zaijing and his gang, some of the merchants who had gathered around shuddered and lost some of their thoughts.

Some vendors who heard Rong Xian's name and wanted to fool others simply stepped aside.

Although Rong Xian is very quiet in front of Xu Zaijing, Gu Tingye, Qi Heng and others, he always has a smile on his face.

But in the city of Bianjing, this sister was a favorite concubine, she liked to wear bright red brocade robes, and she even liked to whip people with a horsewhip and then make them pay for it, so she was a nobleman with a very good reputation.

After saying these words,
The imperial guard knight bowed and rode away.

After a while,
Xu Zaijing, Gu Tingye, Qi Heng, Sheng Jia'er and others rode on horseback and continued to walk towards Panlou, followed by six or seven ox carts loaded with peaches, apricots and melons. When Xu Zaijing passed by the military patrol shop and the house of the fire team on the roadside, he would ask the fruit vendors following behind to carry some fruits down under Qingyun and volunteered to give to these soldiers and the surrounding people.

Standing on the street, the pawns all bowed and shouted, "Thank you, Wulang!"

Many passers-by would shout auspicious words to express their gratitude.

Xu Zaijing, sitting on horseback, bowed and returned the greeting, saying, "Your Majesty is wise. Thanks to the blessings of Your Majesty and Your Highness, the soldiers fought hard and won a great victory in the north. Let us celebrate together, let us celebrate together!"

Gu Tingye and Qi Heng beside Xu Zaijing were not stupid either, and their eyes were shining as they watched.

On the street, some idle men and children from Bianjing who saw this scene listened to the discussions of the people on the roadside. After finding out the general direction in which Xu Zaijing and others were walking, they ran forward.

The news that "there is a nobleman riding a handsome horse, he is in a good mood today, and has just bought several carts of fruits" was spread.

Xu Zaijing and others have been studying at Sheng's house for so long,
On the way to and from school in the morning and evening, Xu Zaijing, Gu Tingye and others were often seen riding their handsome horses at the shops and stalls on the roadside. It was known that the children of wealthy families often went to Jiying Lane.

Therefore, as for the idlers and hooligans who spread the news, most of them were teenagers trying to make a living in the surrounding areas. Most of them were able to gain the trust of the merchants and were rewarded with a few copper coins or fruits.

This also resulted in the situation that when Xu Zaijing and his companions were on their way to Panlou, there were always many vendors from Bian Jing merchants holding their own precious goods and gathering at the roadside stalls not far from Xu Zaijing and his companions.

There were quite a few people, but few dared to stand in front of the crowd.

There were also many young girls and wives standing on the side of the road pointing and talking at Xu Zaijing and others.

Amidst the noise:
"Wulang, Wulang, our family is the shop of Liang's family, the Marquis of Yongchang. Take a look at this candied fruit!"

"Xu's brother, these are the dried fruits from my family. They come from the same family as the Liang family and Li He family. Please try them!"

"Oh my! This Xu family's fifth son is so handsome!"

"."

"My dear brothers, these are fruits that were just picked from the orchard!"

"Ah! Xu Wulang is looking at me!"

"Young Master! Young Master! Erlang, Brother Ye! Our salt! Salt!"

"Is that young man the young master?"

On the way to Panlou,

Behind Xu Zaijing and others, on the fruit vendor's ox cart that followed on the street near Jiying Lane, the amount of fruit was constantly changing, and there were also a lot of other things.

Gu Tingye has the Ningyuan Marquisate and the Bai family behind him, so he is not short of money.

Qi Heng, on the other hand, had the support of the Marquis of Xiangyang and the Qi family, and had been wealthy for several generations.

Following Gu Tingye and Qi Heng, they also started buying and giving away things like Xu Zaijing.

Therefore, the number of ox carts loaded with goods is also increasing.

Also, because people knew that Xu Zaijing and his group of Bian Jing officials would give away things they bought for free, more and more people from Bian Jing began to follow Xu Zaijing and his group.

Gu Tingye and Qi Heng began to shout "Let's have fun together, let's have fun together" more often.

Bianjing government office,

Prefect Gu Lin had just finished his morning court session and was handling official business in the backyard of the government office.

The personal steward beside him bowed and said, "Master, Master Zhuang sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that he wants you to go to Qingfeng Tower to taste wine."

Gu Lin smiled slightly: "Ha! This old man must have heard the good news from the north! Tell the person who comes, I will go there after I finish this!"

"Yes, my lord."

At this time,

An aide hurried in and said, "Sir, the bailiffs patrolling the streets of our palace came to report that several sons of nobles in Bianjing are gathering together!"

Gu Lin looked at the document in his hand and asked, "Whose family? Why are you gathering? How many people are there?"

"My Lord! They are the sons of Duke Qi, Marquis Yongyi, and Marquis Ningyuan, and there are 70 or 80 common people. It sounds like these noble sons are distributing things for free."

"Yes! Send someone to keep an eye on them and maintain order. Just make sure nothing goes wrong!"

"Yes!"

Xu Zaijing and his group continued walking towards Panlou.

Sending things and buying things at the same time,

When passing the canal in the city and about to cross the bridge, Xu Zaijing and others saw yamen runners and soldiers standing by the bridge to maintain order.

When going up the bridge, Xu Zaijing smiled and nodded at one of the young leading constables.

When carriages and horses passed by,
Before the constable named Li could react, Buwei, who had been transferred to the ox cart, stuffed several peaches into his arms.

“Have fun together!”

Chenshi (9:00 a.m.)

Pan Lou,

The room reserved for the combing cage is decorated with red silk.

Yunniang, who had already taken off her veil, covered her head with a thin blanket in annoyance.

After a while,
The thin quilt was suddenly thrown back.

"What time is it? Why is it so noisy outside?"

The maid in the guest room said:

"Miss Yun, it's the dukes from the noble families who are distributing things! The Ninth Young Master was called away by them just now!"

At this time, Mother Ruan pushed the door open and walked in, saying, "Hurry up and get dressed! Come with me to see those young masters!"

Yunniang restrained her expression, replied "yes", and then got off the bed.

In front of the dressing table,

"Miss Yun, these are all given to you by the Ninth Master."

Listening to the maid's words, Yunniang looked at the exquisite gold and silver jewelry and nodded with satisfaction.

Glancing at Mother Ruan in the bronze mirror, Yunniang pretended to ask casually, "Mom, has Fangniang returned to the building? Do you know what jewelry the Chai family gave her?"

Mother Ruan shook her head.

Yunniang asked in surprise: "Ah? She hasn't come back yet? She, she won't."

As she spoke, Yunniang's eyes were filled with jealousy.

Mother Ruan said sternly, “Leave her alone!”

At the door of Panlou,

Servants from several households were distributing fruits, salt and other things.

From time to time, voices could be heard shouting "May the Great Zhou be victorious" and "May Your Majesty and Your Highness be blessed with great fortune."

Chang Feng looked at the crowd on the street.
When he turned around, he saw Yunniang walking out of the house, no longer wearing a veil and revealing her true face. His eyes almost popped out.

“Really, really beautiful!”

Qiao Jiulang patted Chang Feng's shoulder proudly.

Looking at the girl walking towards him, Xu Zaijing, like Gu Tingye, glanced at Qiao Jiulang with some ambiguous intent.

Qiao Jiulang on the side asked in confusion: "Brother Jing, what are you and Brother Ye looking at each other with?"

Xu Zaijing smiled and shook his head: "It's okay!"

Gu Tingye whispered: "Jiulang, this is not good enough!"

Qiao Jiulang: “I”

When a group of people were talking,
A middle-aged man dressed as a government clerk, escorted by government runners, squeezed through the crowded crowd and walked over.

The aide waved at Yunniang and others standing by, signaling them not to come over.

When he came to Xu Zaijing and the others, he bowed and said, "Gentlemen, the prefect sent me to deliver a message."

Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye quickly put away their smiles and bowed, saying, "Please speak, sir."

The staff said, "The prefect said that if we want to distribute things, please go to the outside of Xuande Building. There is more space there! Don't make it so crowded here. It's easy to cause trouble."

Xu Zaijing and Qi Heng, Gu Tingye and others beside him looked at each other and bowed in response.

Qi Heng and Gu Tingye waved their hands and ordered their men to leave the vicinity of Panlou.

The aide who delivered the message said to Xu Zaijing:
"The prefect said that you are all students of Zhuang Xuejiu! The Xuande Building is not only spacious, but also closer to the palace."

"His Majesty will also be happy to know your filial piety."
