Do you know: I am Xu Jiazi

Chapter 362: How can I not bite this? [Thank you for your support! Thank you again! ]

Listening to the loud and powerful cry of the child in the silver basin,
The ladies in the room all laughed, and from time to time they could hear words like "that's great", "he sounds very powerful", and "he must be very healthy".

Sheng Hong, who was standing on the other side, gently stroked his beard and looked at his grandson crying in the silver basin. There was relief, happiness and a little bit of tears in his eyes.

After washing for a while, the child was taken out, dried, and handed to Hualan's arms.

A nanny from the Xu family skillfully shaved the baby's hair.

Afterwards, Zai Zhang and Hua Lan, who was holding her son, bowed and thanked the guests around them.

Finally, the baby was taken to the new house.

After finishing these tasks, the guests did not leave immediately, but sat in the tidied hall.

While everyone was watching the full-moon baby baptism ceremony, the maids from each family had already cleaned and redecorated the hall to make it convenient for the guests to drink tea and rest.

In the morning, the Sun family's children, who had been making a lot of fun in the Xu family's courtyard with endless energy, were now exhausted after lunch. They all fell asleep on the spacious kang in the Xu family's backyard room.

The maids of the Sun family's cousins' wives also mostly looked after things in the side rooms.

This also made the Xu family's backyard much quieter.

Although the hall where the baptism ceremony for Xu's second grandson was held was not small, there were many people.

Therefore, Xu Zaijing and other young people could only stand at the door and listen to the fun.

After hearing the ladies' conversation after the ceremony and seeing people walking outside, Xu Zaijing and others returned to the front yard.

Xu Zaijing was the last one left.
When I turned around, I saw my aunt stuffing something into my cousin Ni Qi Qiu's hand in the hall. After that, she walked to Hua Qing who was standing beside her and stuffed something into her hand as well.

There were several other aunts who did the same thing as my aunt.

Watching the ladies in the hall sharing dates,

Pingmei, who was sitting next to Mrs. Bai, glanced at Chai Zhengzheng and Rong Feiyan who were sitting together on the other side with a smile on her face.

Gu Tingyi, who was beside the two noble ladies, saw his sister-in-law's gaze and looked at them while holding back his smile.

Chai Zhengzheng and Rong Feiyan, who were staring at him, were filled with shame and anger. They glared at Gu Tingyi fiercely, then quickly lowered their heads as they felt the constant gazes coming at them from all around them.

Hai Chaoyun, who was sitting on a chair behind her mother, saw this scene and leaned over to Hai Chaoxia's ear in confusion and asked, "Sister, what happened to them?"

Hai Zhaoxia shook her head and said, "I don't know."

The fifth daughter-in-law of the Huyan family, who was sitting below Hai Zhaoxia and behind Madam Pan, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile, "I know, and everyone who went to Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion a few days ago also knows it."

Hearing this, the Hai sisters hurried over to look.

The fifth daughter-in-law whispered, "At the beginning of the month, the Gu family held a baby baptism ceremony. The aunt who married into the Yang family also distributed dates like today, and the result was..."

"Miss Zhengzheng and Miss Feiyan, maybe they didn't quite understand, or maybe they were too engrossed in the conversation, when the Yang family lady was distributing dates, they both reached out their hands."

"But it was a little joke."

Hai Chaoyun looked surprised.

Behind Wang Ruofu, Molan was sitting on an embroidered cushion, listening to the discussions around her.

Looking at Zhu Xu and Aunt Sun who were walking over from not far away, she quickly hid her hand in her sleeves.

Rulan, who was beside Molan, didn't even think of reaching out.

At this time, Rulan was concentrating on looking at her elder sister Hualan not far away.

When Hualan gave birth to her child, none of the three Lans from the Sheng family were present.

Today was also the first time Rulan saw her sister after giving birth.

"Sixth sister, do you think my elder sister has become prettier?"

Minglan nodded and said, "Yes, I think the elder sister's skin seems to be whiter and better!"

Rulan nodded and continued to look at Hualan who was talking to Madam Sun.

Seeing Madam Sun's kind and amiable face, Mrs. Xie beside Hualan also had a smile on her face and was holding Hualan's hand while talking.

Rulan didn't hear what was said. She only saw Hualan's happy smile from the bottom of her heart.

Then, following the direction of her elder sister's smile, Rulan looked elsewhere in the hall.

She saw the two married cousins ​​of the Xu family. At Rulan's age, she had knowledge of clothing materials and jewelry, and could tell that the materials of the clothes her two cousins ​​wore seemed to be better than those of her mother and aunt.

The jewelry on her head wasn't particularly dazzling, but when Rulan looked closely, she knew it wasn't a common item on the market.

Thinking of this, Rulan looked back at her elder sister Hualan, who seemed to be on par with her two cousins.

Then, Rulan looked at her mother and aunt. What a big difference!
Rulan looked at the joyful and harmonious atmosphere in the hall, and with a thoughtful look in her eyes she glanced at her aunt Kang Wang's complexion.

Minglan, who was beside Rulan, had smiles in her eyes from beginning to end. Seeing Hualan's smile, Minglan smiled even more happily.

Chai Zhengzheng and Gu Tingyi listened as the ladies in the hall turned their conversation to how Hualan took care of herself during her pregnancy, and they no longer paid attention to themselves.

Chai Zhengzheng and Rong Feiyan, each on one side, with shame and indignation on their faces, reached out their hands to Gu Tingyi's waist with hatred. Chai Zhengzheng whispered:
"Sister Tingyi, are you still laughing?"

Gu Tingyi was so frightened that he quickly suppressed his laughter and begged for mercy in a low voice:
"Sisters, I don't dare anymore. We will go in two days."

I don’t know how many good things were promised to make the two ladies stop.

forecourt,

Men's seat,
Sheng's brother and Kang Jin both went to change their clothes.

Among the guests drinking tea, Liang Han was sitting at the table, holding up the jade pendants of Xu Zaijing's cousins ​​to assess their quality.

Gu Tingye sat next to Xu Zaijing and whispered, "Brother Jing, have someone prepare a food box for me. I can use it."

Hearing this, Qi Heng looked over curiously.

Xu Zaijing turned his head and glanced at Gu Tingye.

Gu Tingye felt as if he had been seen through. He quickly sat up straight, shook his sleeves, and said in a low voice, "Brother Jing, why are you looking at me like that?"

Xu Zaijing sighed, then glanced at Qingyun who was standing beside him. Qingyun came over and asked, "Sir?"

"Tell the kitchen to prepare ten larger food boxes with more cakes."

"Yes, son."

After Xu Zaijing finished speaking, he waved to Gu Tingye's servant Zhique, brought Zhique closer, and whispered, "Do you have any silver?"

"some."

As he said this, Zhique was about to take it out from the pouch on his waist.

Xu Zaijing shook his head and waved his hands, saying, "No need to give it to me. Go tell Qingyun to put this in the oil paper used to wrap the cakes, tie it up, and put it at the bottom of the two food boxes!"

"Yes, son!"

"Wait!"

Zhique stopped.

"Liu Lang, what kind of pastry is used most in your polo field?"

Liang Han, who was looking at the jade pendant, was stunned and said, "I don't know, fishing car?"

"Reply to Wulang, please give me more date cakes and chestnut cakes."

Xu Zaijing nodded and said, "Just these two."

After arranging everything, Xu Zaijing looked at Gu Tingye and said, "Okay."

"Brother Jing, I. You!"

Gu Tingye hesitated to speak.

Qi Heng, who was standing by, walked up to Xu Zaijing and asked in a low voice. Xu Zaijing said, "Brother Ye has a kind heart and wants to do good things."

Qi Heng nodded in sudden realization. Looking at the expressions of Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye, Qi Heng hurriedly whispered:

"Brother Jing, don't worry, Uncle. I have heard a little about the Kang family's affairs, but I won't tell anyone else."

Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye nodded.

At this time, Changbai and others came back.

After a quarter of an hour,

Qingyun and Zhique both returned to the men's seats.

Coming to Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye, Qingyun whispered, "Please rest assured, the two gentlemen, Qingcao and my wife will deliver the food boxes later, and they will definitely be delivered to the two girls of the Kang family."

"it is good!"

Another quarter of an hour later, servants began to call people and prepare to go home.

Everyone quickly got up and left.

At the second gate,
The first ones to return home were the relatives from the grandparents' family. The child in the side room started crying after waking up, which set off a whole crowd.

The scene of dozens of children crying was truly spectacular.

When getting on the carriage, the group of children were in a mess.

Listen to the kids

'Grandma, I haven't had enough fun yet, I won't get in the car!'

'Mom, I don't want to go home!'

'Mother, here is a beautiful sister!'

'Grandma, there are no good-looking cousins ​​in the family!'

Some of the ladies watching laughed at the childish talk.

When her sister Wang Ruofu looked at her, Mrs. Kang forced a smile on her face, but when Wang Ruofu turned her head, her eyes were full of disgust.

In the field,
The hot-tempered daughter-in-law of the Sun family was about to take care of these little naughty monkeys in her family. An Mei, who was pregnant, shook her head and moved to the side. In the surprised eyes of Rong Feiyan and Chai Zhengzheng, she held their white and tender hands and shouted:
"Listen! If anyone doesn't obey, he won't be able to find such a beautiful wife when he grows up!"

An Mei then pointed to herself, Gu Tingyi, the three Lans, Hai Chaoyun and others and continued, "We can't find anyone as beautiful as this!"

Hearing An Mei's words, the little boys from the Sun family looked over and the scene became quiet.

The ladies around nodded one after another, adding to the credibility.

Several girls smiled and nodded in cooperation.

Suddenly, a five or six-year-old boy from the Sun family twisted his body and cried, "Mom, I don't want my cousin. She has a bad temper and she hits me on the butt!"

"Pfft~"

"Hahahaha!"

"Ouch. Hahaha. No way."

An Mei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pointed at the little nephew who was speaking.

Before she got married, she did do this at her maternal grandparents' house.

The girls nearby also started laughing.

Madam Wu, Madam Bai and others laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt and they needed the help of maids to stand steadily.

Mrs. Pan smiled and walked over to An Mei and said, "You don't have to ask for it. My family wants it!"

At this time, Xu Zaijing was walking to the front of the carriage, holding two captured Sun family monkeys in each hand.

Xu Xingdai was in the arms of his aunt Xu Pingmei, looking at the child in Xu Zaijing's arms and shouting, "That's my uncle, mine!"

Hearing this, Chai Zhengzheng and the other girls started laughing again.

Pingmei tapped Xu Xingdai's belly unhappily.

After a while, the Sun family's children got into the car crying, and the ladies and girls finally calmed down.

When people in front are laughing,
Zhu Qinghu's wife, Ni Qi Qiu, watched a girl from the Kang family who was some distance away from Wang Ruoyu and was dressed fairly well, walk over.

Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on the front, Ni Qiqiu said softly, "Your name is Ni'er?"

Kang Nier nodded, looked at Ni Qiqiu and whispered, "Madam, what's the matter?"

"Is your mother's last name Jin?"

Kang Nier nodded, her eyes full of 'how did you know'.

Ni Qiqiu smiled and said, "It's nothing. Speaking of which, I have some relationship with your mother's family."

"The Jin family has a sister who married my husband's life and death comrade."

Kang Nier understood clearly in her eyes and was about to say something when Mother Qi, who was standing next to Mrs. Kang Wang in front of her, glanced at her.

Mother Qi said with a fake smile: "Fourth Miss, our Kang family's carriage is here."

Kang Nier smiled at Ni Qi Qiu and walked forward.

The Kangsheng families came together, but they had to return home separately, after all, the two families were going in different directions.

Before getting into the carriage with Kang's concubine, Kang Zhao'er and Kang Ni'er looked at the tall woman beside the carriage, nodded in greeting, took the food boxes from her hands, and then got into the carriage.

Friends and relatives left one after another, and the crowd at the second gate became smaller and smaller.

Princess Pingning had already boarded the carriage with Qi Heng and was waiting in front.

Gu Tingyi got into the large carriage, lifted the curtain and nodded to the ladies, then smiled and looked at Chai Zhengzheng and Rong Feiyan who were still at the second gate.
Finally, he waved to Xu Xingdai in Xu Zaijing's arms:

"Brother Dai, let's go!"

After saying goodbye,
The curtains were lowered and the carriage darkened.

Talking about the spectacular scene of the Sun family children getting on the bus just now, Mrs. Bai, Pingmei and Gu Tingyi looked at each other with a wry smile.

After leaving the gate, the convoys of the Qi and Gu families drove towards Xingguofang.

Doorway,

When Mrs. Chai saw Gu Tingyi's last look, her eyes lit up with a smile on her face.

Turning her head to see the carriages of the Chai and Rong families coming together, Mrs. Chai said a few words to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Xu family, then took the hand of the somewhat confused Chai Zhengzheng and came to Xu Zaijing.

Afterwards, Madam Chai and Xu Xingdai in Xu Zaijing's arms said:

"Brother Jing, Brother Xiao Dai, I'm leaving too."

Xu Xingdai glanced at his uncle's encouraging eyes and said cutely, "Madam, have a safe trip."

"Oh! What a good boy."

Chai Zhengzheng watched all this with a smile on his face beside Mrs. Chai. When the Chai family's carriage came over, he bowed to everyone from the Xu and Sheng families, and then bowed to Xu Zaijing before getting on the carriage.

When the Rong family got in the car, Xu Xing said, "Uncle, I'm looking for my grandmother."

Xu Zaijing nodded and handed Xu Xingdai to his mother.

Rong Feiyan pursed her lips, bowed and said, "Madam, sisters, I'm going back too."

"Miss Feiyan, take care."

"Brother Dai~"

Rong Feiyan said this and waved her hand.

Xu Xingdai cupped his hands and said, "Have a safe journey, sister."

Madam Sun on the side said with a smile: "Dai, you should call me aunt."

"Aunt, have a nice trip."

Rong Feiyan's eyes suddenly curved with smile.

At the beginning of the month,

In the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, the Xu family was the last to leave.

Today at the Xu family, the Sheng family did the same thing.

Knowing that the mother and daughter had something private to say, when Sun saw the Sheng family carriage approaching and Wang Ruofu holding her daughter's hand tightly, Sun said, "Hualan, see your mother off."

"Yes."

The mother and daughter came to the Sheng family's carriage.
Wang Ruofu took out a few silver bills from her sleeve and said, "Hua'er, this is the interest you asked Jing'er to send home. Mother doesn't need it, so take it."

Hua Lan said angrily, "Mother, I don't need it either."

Wang Ruofu shook Hualan's hand vigorously and said with a glare, "Why not? My God! Look at the large group of children at Zai Zhang's grandparents' house!"

"Your mother gives me a headache just looking at this! Hiss, how can I recognize this?"

Mother Liu on the side nodded in approval.

"So, how can we spend less during the holidays? Take it!"

After saying that, Wang Ruofu turned around and smiled at the Xu family who were some distance away.

Then he turned around and continued to speak earnestly: "Hua'er, don't feel annoyed when you see so many relatives and children! More people will work harder, understand?"

Hua Lan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Mother, I've never been annoyed!"

"Take it!"

Looking at her relatives from her mother's family, Hua Lan said, "Mother, you should save some dowries for your sisters!"

Wang Ruofu: "I'm saving it, you don't have to worry about it!"

In the end, it was Sheng Hong who spoke up, and Hua Lan reluctantly put it away.

Kang Family,

Kang Zhaoer huddled down with her two half sisters, carrying food boxes.

Seeing their mistress getting off the carriage and ignoring them, Kang Zhaoer breathed a sigh of relief: It seems that she will get less beating today.

Walking towards his mother's yard, before entering, Kang Zhaoer saw from afar his younger brother and sister waiting anxiously at the gate.

Seeing the large food box in their sister's hand, the two of them came over quickly.

The three of them entered the courtyard together.

"Little girl, my sister is back."

A woman came out of the house and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her daughter standing at the door with no injuries on her face and clean body.

Entered the house,
"My dear, this is a good thing sent by the Marquis' Mansion. Come and try it!"

As he said that, Kang Zhaoer opened the lunch box.

Looking at the exquisite pastries inside, the four people in the room laughed.

"Brother, this last pack is yours!"

"Thank you sister."

Half an hour later,

"Tsk~~"

'Cough'

A hard object fell on the table.
"Little girl, sister, why can't I bite this!"

Hearing her youngest son's words, the young lady of the Kang family looked at the oil-paper-wrapped object in her youngest son's hand, her eyes widened, and she sighed:
"This, this, this Marquis's Mansion is really..."
