Chapter 357: Your uncle, I still want to live a little longer [Thank you all for your support! Goodbye! ]

'Boom! '

"Great Zhou Wansheng!"

‘Boom!’

"Long live the saint!"

‘Boom!’

"Long live the royal heir!"

Hua Xiang, a maidservant living under the palace wall, held her clothes and listened to the huge cheers from downstairs of Xuande Tower.

Among the crowd that gathered around, there were quite a few idle and ruffians from Bianjing, and from time to time they cast their eyes on Hua Xiang.

Hua Xiang felt a little uncomfortable watching this.

At this time,

The curtain of the Rong family's carriage was lifted by the maid Xibu, and then Xibu stepped on the stool placed beside the carriage and walked towards Hua Xiang.

"Sister Hua Xiang, my daughter invites you to sit in the car."

Hua Xiang looked at the kind or obscene gazes from the people around her, thought for a moment, then bowed and walked over with slow steps.

After stepping on a stool and getting on the carriage, Hua Xiang walked into the spacious carriage and said to Rong Feiyan, who was sitting in the middle of the carriage: "Hua Xiang thanks the young lady for helping me."

Rong Feiyan smiled and said, "It's okay! Come in quickly!"

After getting into the carriage, the gauze curtains were lowered. Hua Xiang then patted his chest lightly and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked at Rong Feiyan with eyes full of gratitude and appreciation.

This is when the sun is at its highest point of the day.
Rong Feiyan looked at Hua Xiang's dry lips through the bright light outside the car. She adjusted Rong Xian's coat and said softly, "Xi Bu, pour some tea for Miss Hua Xiang."

Rong Feiyan's maid Ningxiang took a look at her own girl, then stretched out her hand to Hua Xiang and said, "Sister Hua Xiang, put your clothes aside for now."

Hua Xiang looked down at the expensive clothes in her arms and nodded, "Thank you, Sister Ningxiang."

Saying,

Xibu had already picked up the exquisite silver kettle with a thin spout from the storage compartment in the car and was pouring tea into the silver bowl, while Ningxiang took the clothes from Hua Xiang's arms.

"Sister Huaxiang, why do you have so many clothes?" Ningxiang asked.

Hua Xiang took the silver cup that Xi Bu handed over and said, "The clothes of the young master and the second son of the Gu family are all placed here with me."

Ningxiang nodded, took the smallest piece of clothing in her hand, and asked, "What's this dark one?"

Hua Xiang quickly swallowed the tea in her mouth and said, "It's from the second son of the Gu family."

Xibu who was standing by looked at Hua Xiang who finished the drink in two gulps and said with a smile, "Sister Hua Xiang, pour yourself as much as you want to drink." Then he handed the silver kettle with a thin mouth to Hua Xiang.

As soon as she finished speaking, Rong Feiyan put the folded Rong Xian's coat aside and reached out her hand towards Ningxiang.

Ningxiang handed the only piece of clothing without asking who it belonged to to her own girl, and then handed the dark-colored clothing to Xibu who came over.

Hua Xiang wanted to see this scene, and hurriedly put down the kettle and silver cup in his hands, saying: "Miss Rong..."

Before she finished speaking, Rong Feiyan looked at Hua Xiang in confusion, and had already folded the clothes in her hands in no time.

"what happened?"

Hua Xiang smiled and said, "Please forgive me, young lady. These things should be done by me."

Rong Feiyan smiled and said, "Just do it casually. Hua Xiang, please don't take it to heart."

As she spoke, Rong Feiyan placed the clothes in her hand outside her brother's clothes.

Seeing Rong Feiyan's barely-there attempt to avoid suspicion, Hua Xiang smiled politely.

At this time, Xi Bu pointed outside and said, "Look, the canopy and umbrella! Is it His Majesty going up to the Xuande Tower?"

Everyone's attention was drawn to the scene outside the veil.

At this time, Han, Lu, Tan and other families were still busy lifting the big drum onto the roof of the car.

The moment the Huagai Luosan, representing the Emperor of the Great Zhou, and the Emperor's figure appeared on the Xuande Gate Tower, cheers suddenly became louder in the parade ground in front of the tower.

The people of Bianjing who had been gathering around the families of Duke Hanguo, Duke Lingguo and others were also attracted by the emperor on the city gate tower, and they unconsciously shouted along with the drums of Xu Zaijing, Gu Tingye and others.

The sons of the Duke of Hanguo, the Duke of Lingguo and other families standing nearby became deflated when they saw this scene.

Someone even got angry at the servant who was lifting the big drum and kicked him. The servant almost let go of the drum after he lost his strength, and the people of Bian Jing nearby were so scared that they quickly hid aside.

On the high Xuande Building,
The emperor held Zhao Fang's hand and stood under the canopy.

Looking at the cheers coming from the parade ground in front of the building, the emperor's face was full of smiles.

Zhao Fang, who was standing by, stretched out his hand, pointed at Xu Zaijing and the others and said with a smile: "Father, Father, look, look, Brother Jing and the others are standing on the carriage!"

The emperor said, "It's amazing that they could come up with such an idea. Someone come here!"

Hearing the emperor's words, Zhao Fang looked at the emperor with curiosity.

The emperor smiled in response.

Amidst the shouting voices,
Downstairs of Xuande Building,

A team of the Great Zhou imperial guards came out, holding flags and carrying several baskets of copper coins, escorting a high-ranking eunuch.

Xu Zaijing, Gu Tingye and others were standing high up, and when they saw the eunuchs escorted by the imperial guards coming in front of the carriage, they stopped beating the drums, and the cheers became much more dispersed.

In the noisy environment, the leading imperial guard was talking to Xu Zaijing on the roof of the car.

Then, a team of imperial guards stood in a circle around the three carriages.

With the help of Xu Zaijing and Qingyun, the eunuch got on the carriage.

"Silence!"

The guards surrounding the carriage shouted three times in unison.

The scene in front of Xuande Building gradually became quiet.

The chief eunuch stood on the carriage and shouted with all his might.

The general content of the speech was that it was the wise prince Zhao Fang who made the emperor decide to recover the homeland.

Without the prince’s help in making up his mind not to invade Baigao Kingdom, even if there was an earthquake in Baigao Kingdom, it would not help Da Zhou to capture the city!
To celebrate this event, the first is to open the pass for one day tomorrow, and when Xingqing Prefecture of Baigao State is captured, it will be the regular day for opening the pass;
Second, for criminals in Da Zhou who committed minor crimes, their sentences were halved;

Third, the activity of distributing porridge and fruits in front of Xuande Building can continue for two days.

Every time the eunuch spoke a word, the imperial guards beside the carriage shouted in unison.

After shouting, Gu Tingye started beating the drum again, and Xu Zaijing started scattering the copper coins brought by the eunuch.

Amidst the shouts of "Long live the emperor!" and "Long live the emperor!", the emperor's canopy and umbrella disappeared over the Xuande Gate Tower.

When a few more families imitated Xu Zaijing and others, using three carriages to build a stage, and either scattering copper coins or scattering food.

Gu Tingye was a little tired of beating the drum, so he took over as Rong Xian. It was obvious that Rong Xian was enjoying the "one drum beat and a thousand drum beats corresponding to ten thousand coins being scattered".

Car side,

The eunuch, whose voice sounded a little hoarse, took the bamboo tube of sweet drink handed over by Xu Zaijing and said, "Thank you, Brother Jing!"

After moistening his throat, the eunuch looked at the jubilant scene around him, smiled at Xu Zaijing and the others and said, "My brothers, when we came here, the Empress told me that the imperial guards who came to maintain order outside the palace would be rewarded by the Empress, so you don't need to worry about it."

Xu Zaijing and the others looked at each other and bowed to express their gratitude.

Around 2:00 p.m.
Because the nobles, officials and wealthy families in Bian Jing were distributing things for free, a lot of people gathered together. People had already started building a performance stage in the parade ground in front of the Xuande Building in preparation for the next day and the day after tomorrow.

Xu Zaijing and others dispersed the three carriages used to build the "high platform" and pulled them under the palace wall.

Qingyun and the others were harnessing the carriage. Rongxian stood beside Xu Zaijing and said, "Brother Jing, your method is much more effective than giving out porridge!"

"I've never played like this before!"

Gu Tingye wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "Brother Xian, that's right! Brother Jing, next time something like this happens, don't forget me!"

Xu Zaijing smiled and shook his head. He was just in a good mood today. After all, they were trying to recover the homeland of the Great Zhou. General Cao was putting a lot of pressure on the Baigao Kingdom in the south, so his father Xu Minghua in the north could focus more on guarding against the Northern Liao Kingdom.

He had never expected that it would become so lively in front of the Xuande Building.

Seeing Xu Zaijing and others coming back, Rong family's maids Xibu and Hua Xiang hurriedly got off the Rong family's carriage.

After the two got off the carriage, Ningxiang and Rong Feiyan handed out the four pieces of clothing in the carriage.

Xu Zaijing, Gu Tingye, Qi Heng and Rong Xian each prepared to take their own clothes from the maid and put them on.

In the carriage, Rong Feiyan looked at Xu Zaijing through the gap in the curtains.

When Xu Zaijing unfolded the outer robe that Rong Feiyan had folded herself and put it on himself, Rong Feiyan didn't know what she was thinking of. She smiled and gently bit her lips.

Looking at her brother who was laughing and talking beside Xu Zaijing, Rong Feiyan sighed again.

Ningxiang squatted beside Rong Feiyan and said, "Miss, the young master actually looks pretty good!"

After hearing this, Rong Feiyan saw Qi Heng's figure. Seeing Qi Heng glance at Hua Xiang, Rong Feiyan shook her head.

"Well, young lady, the master still has some money left, shall we go buy the material?"

"Forget it, let the brocade shop deliver the things to your home!"

"Yes."

Looking at Rong Xian who was still talking to Xu Zaijing, Rong Feiyan said:

"Ningxiang, why does it seem like my brother doesn't seem to be interested in talking to Qiao Jiulang?"

Ningxiang, who was standing by, took a look and nodded, "Miss, you're right. Qiao Jiulang's face does look a little ugly! Didn't Qiao Jiulang and the young master get along very well before?"

As the master and servant were talking, they walked slowly back to the carriage.

Several people on Xu Zaijing's side also started to mount their horses, preparing to leave Xuande Building and return to their homes.

After bowing to each other and saying goodbye, everyone walked on their way home.

Rong Feiyan lifted the curtain of the carriage, but Rong Xian, who was riding a horse beside the carriage, said, "Brother, just now under the palace wall, I saw you ignoring Qiao Jiulang?"

Rong Xian, who was riding on a tall horse, looked at his sister in the car window and said, "Is it that obvious?"

Rong Feiyan: "Brother, you almost have the words 'I don't want to bother with Qiao Jiulang' written all over your face!"

Rong Xian curled his lips and said, "Tsk, sister, I just look down on people like Qiao Jiulang, who chased after a prostitute in a brothel and lost his brain."

"Brother, what's wrong with Qiao Jiulang? Why do you say that about him?"

Rong Xian glanced at his sister and said, "Before, Jing'er got several top-grade swords, and Qiao Jiulang bought one on credit."

Rong Feiyan nodded and waited for Rong Xian to continue.

"Then two days ago, Qiao Jiulang pawned his sword!"

"Ah? You're a pawn?"

"He, how dare he?"

Rong Feiyan asked in surprise.

Rong Xian raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes! For that Yunniang in the comb cage!"

"Just now under the palace wall, Qiao Jiulang told me about the vows of love he and Yunniang made."

"Tsk! How childish!!"

"Sister, why are you looking at me like that?"

Rong Feiyan in the carriage had a stern expression on her face and she swung the curtain shut with force.

Rong Xian leaned over the horse's neck, approached the carriage window, lifted the curtain and said, "Tell me! Why are you looking at me like that?"

Rong Feiyan: "Brother, didn't you also want to seduce a prostitute named Jiao Niang two years ago? You cheated me into lending you hundreds of strings of cash and you still haven't paid me back yet!"

Rong Xian immediately stood up from his horse and said, "You, at that time, I, your brother, was young! How could I understand so many twists and turns! Besides, it's not like I won't pay it back!"

After a while, Rong Feiyan in the carriage said, "Brother, do you know where Qiao Jiulang bet the big sword?"

Rong Xian shook his head and said, "Sister, don't even think about it! Qiao Jiulang's big sword must be worth at least three thousand strings of cash!"

Rong Feiyan's voice came from the carriage: "It's so expensive, brother! Pay me back! Now!"

After waiting for a while and seeing no one reply, Rong Feiyan lifted the car curtain, but there was no sign of Rong Xian by the car.

On the way back to Quyuan Street,
Xu Zaijing was riding in front,

After a while, the sound of horse hooves was heard behind me.

Xu Zaijing looked back and saw that it was Gu Tingye and Zhique who had caught up with them.

Seeing Xu Zaijing's puzzled look, Gu Tingye said, "Brother Jing, the doorman said that mother went to your house. I'll go pick her up."

Xu Zaijing nodded. Xingguofang was close to the imperial palace.

Gu Tingye and Xu Zaijing were in front, followed by Qingyun, Zhique and Hua Xiang who was riding in a carriage.

After walking for a while, Xu Zaijing tilted his head and asked, "Brother Ye, why do you keep looking at me?"

"Brother Jing, Qiao Jiulang has staked the Great Sword, do you mind?"

Xu Zaijing nodded: "I mind! But Qiao Jiu paid after all, and he didn't say he wouldn't pay in the future."

"Qiao Jiu's sword is different from the one I gave you. It's not enough to cause a falling out!"

Gu Tingye nodded with a smile in his eyes. He was very satisfied with the sword Xu Zaijing gave him.

Then Gu Tingye looked at Xu Zaijing and said, "Brother Jing, I think Qiao Jiu has gone a little crazy! He is pouring out his heart and soul like a fool for a low-class prostitute."

Xu Zaijing turned his head and glanced at Gu Tingye meaningfully.

Gu Tingye frowned and said, "Brother Jing, why are you looking at me like that!?"

Xu Zaijing shook his head: "Nothing! I hope Qiao Jiu wakes up soon."

Gu Tingye nodded.

Quyuan Street,
The two arrived at the courtyard of Xu Zaijing's mother, Sun.

"Aunt Bai Jin An."

"Sister Tingyi, your makeup is safe."

Gu Tingye:
"Aunt Sun Jin An."

"Sister-in-law, make up."

Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye greeted each other.

Then, Xu Xingdai got out of Gu Tingyi's arms and threw himself on Xu Zaijing's legs with a smile: "Uncle, uncle, Feifei!"

Mrs. Bai looked at the frown on Sun's youngest son's face, then looked at Xu Zaijing's wandering eyes, and exchanged a glance with Gu Tingyi who was also confused.

Xu Zaijing squatted down, picked up his nephew and said, "Dai brother, we won't fly anymore! I, your uncle, want to live a little longer."
