Do you know: I am Xu Jiazi

Chapter 435: Bah! Lecher! [Thank you! Bow again! I owe you 3]

"Even if the Dongchang Marquis's Mansion gets better, with my sister-in-law here, how can it have anything to do with me? Tsk!"

Mother Xiang looked at Madam Qin's disdainful expression and continued anxiously:
"Girl, you don't have to care! But you are not yourself now, and you still have Sister Wan! [Previous text has been revised]"

Listening to the laughter of the little girl outside the house, Madam Qin, who was sitting on the chair, softened her expression and looked at Xiang's mother's expression: "Besides these, is there nothing else?"

She looked embarrassed to her mother and said, "Miss, I'd better not say anything!"

"I don't need this trouble, tell me."

"The Marquis' Mansion also said that when the war broke out in the northwest, all the nobles of Bianjing who participated in it made a lot of money! When the war breaks out with Northern Liao, the Duke of Yingguo, the Duke of Xinguo, the Marquis of Zhongjing, and the Marquis of Ningyuan who are stationed in the north will naturally support it for the sake of gaining benefits. When the time comes, please send a letter to the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion and we will look after it together."

"Wow!"

The teacup on the table was swept to the floor.

Madam Qin's chest heaved violently, and she stared at the empty space in the study with murderous eyes.

Repenting what she had said, Xiang's mother hurried over to help Mrs. Qin calm down.

"My brother and sister-in-law did such a shameful thing as murdering their own nephew for the sake of my eldest sister's dowry! And now they are saying such things? Tell them! They are just dreaming!"

"Girl, you have to think long-term! If this can be accomplished, it can mend the relationship between the two families; if it fails, it can also help us find out how Marquis Gu feels about you! Marquis Gu is thinking about his relationship with the eldest girl! If you really have any problems in the future, we can also take the Gu family into consideration, right!"

Xiang's mother's words made Mrs. Qin close her eyes uncomfortably.

Through the maidservants left by my sister,
Madam Qin knew that her former brother-in-law Gu Yankai often went to the ancestral hall and cried in front of the spirit tablet of her sister Qin Yanyun.

The study became quiet.

I do not know how long it has been,

"Grinding ink."

"Yes, girl."

Hu Yanjiong's house,
Outer courtyard,
Although the Huyan family, the former Marquis of Jinghai, lost their title,
Hu Yanjiong is the youngest son of the fifth wife.

But the fifth house's in-laws, the Xu family, are now in the emperor's favor, so nothing happened at the full moon banquet.

When the Huyan family still had the title, Huyan Jiong played polo at Madam Wu's polo field and met many dandy young men from Bianjing. A few of them came to join in the fun.
But their arrogance also depends on the person.
This young nobleman in Bianjing might kill civilians without paying for his life, but because of Xu Zaijing's "reputation" for crippling the prince of the royal palace, they would
Even if Xu Zaijing beat them to death, he would probably be able to get away.

Judging from the way Rongxian treated Xu Zaijing, Xu Zaijing might not need to take action yet, so they were very obedient today.

The brave lieutenants and officers in the army who loved to shout and drink heavily also restrained themselves and became more gentle.

"Come on, Huang Dalang, I'll toast you another glass!"

Gu Tingye raised his glass with a red face and shouted towards Huang Qingyue opposite him.

Huang Qingyue, with sweat on his forehead but clear eyes, raised his glass: "Thank you, Erlang!"

Xu Zaijing on the side watched helplessly.

At this time,

Qingyun walked up to Xu Zaijing and whispered a few words.

"Why is he here?"

Xu Zaijing stood up and nodded to everyone at the table before walking out.

Just arrived at the door,

They ran into Wu Song and others who were walking towards them in the corridor, carrying wine bowls.

Before they could say anything, Xu Zaijing said with a smile: "You guys toast first, I'll beat you up later!"

Wang Yan and others behind Wu Song, who were from the old lady's manor, blushed and reached out their hands, patted Wu Song on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Song brother, I'll rely on you later!"

Wu Song nodded heavily and looked at Xu Zaijing with fighting spirit.

Xu Zaijing also patted Wu Song on the shoulder: "Wait for me."

As he said this, he walked towards the gate of Huyan's house.

main entrance,
The doorman that An Mei brought with her as a dowry looked with contempt at Zhajue Zhongding who was standing awkwardly in front of the door.

"Hahaha! Zhongding, why are you here!"

Zhuajue Zhongding raised his head and looked at Xu Zaijing who was walking towards him with a smile. He looked a little scared, surprised and flattered, and said with a cupped hand: "Wu Lang! Why...why did you come out in person!"

"Since you come in person to give me a gift, I will naturally come in person to greet you."

"Oh, oh. I just learned about this from my father and rushed over here! How abrupt!"

"Old man, you are so thoughtful. Come on, please come in!"

Having said that, Xu Zaijing put his arm around Jue Zhongding's shoulder and walked towards the door.

Before entering the door, looking at the mounts of Zhongding and his followers, Xu Zaijing turned his head and said to Qingyun: "Tell them to take good care of Zhongding's horse."

"Yes, son."

Qingyun raised his chin towards the doorman.

The servant beside him hurriedly went to carry the concentrated feed for the horses without waiting for instructions, smiling.

After Xu Zaijing, Zhuaijue Zhongding and his party entered the gate,
Not far from the gate, a servant who saw this scene mounted his horse and rode away. On the horse's buttocks were branded the words "Zhuajue" in Da Zhou and Bai Gao characters.

When Xu Zaijing and his party passed through the Moon Gate and were about to go up to the corridor, they saw two people standing in the corridor.

The man with his back to Xu Zaijing was tall, and a hint of his green robe was visible through the obstruction.

"Brother Xian?"

Rong Xian's awkward smile appeared from behind that person, and then it turned into a real smile: "Jing brother!"

The man turned around and saw Xu Zaijing and started laughing too.

"I'll go change my clothes first, please feel free to do as you please, sir!" Rong Xian bowed and slipped away.

Xu Zaijing and others walked over and bowed, "Brother He."

That person was He Guan. Thanks to his contributions in the northwest, He Guan has now become the deputy of Lord Pei Yuanchen and Rong Xian's superior.

He Guan glanced at Zhua Jue Zhongding and nodded slightly.

Then, the two of them talked as they walked.

"What did you talk about with Brother Xian just now? Is he doing well in the Imperial Palace Guards?"

"So-so!"

Back to the courtyard where the feast was held,
Haven't entered the house yet,

Xu Zaijing saw Huang Qingyue holding Gu Tingye with one hand and patting Gu Tingye's shoulder with the other hand beside the flower bed in the yard.

"Ugh~"

Hearing Gu Tingye's words,
Huang Qingyue's throat surged,
"Ugh~"

After Gu Tingye shouted the second time, Huang Qingyue couldn't help but bend down: "Poof! Ugh!"

inside the house,

Wu Song and the others had bright eyes and had not yet left.

The two men outside the house were originally competing in drinking, and when Wu Song and others toasted them, they were immediately knocked down.

After adding a chair to the table, Zhuajue Zhongding also joined in.

When Wu Song and others saw Xu Zaijing sitting down, their eyes lit up.

After asking Wu Song how many bowls he had drunk, Xu Zaijing said, "I drank six bowls less than you at the banquet. How about I drink with you after I have had enough?"

After drinking six bowls of wine,
Looking at Wu Song who was about to toast, Xu Zaijing smiled slightly and said, "Brother Song, how about this? Let's drink eighteen bowls each. Whoever can't finish it loses. Is that okay?"

Hearing this number, Wu Song, feeling a little uneasy, fell silent.

"Tsk, Wu Erlang, you're not scared anymore, are you?"

Gu Tingye, who had just come back from vomiting, said loudly.

"Who's afraid of who! Brother Jing, I'll risk my life to accompany you!"

When Xu Zaijing was drinking,
Zhajue Zhongding came with a wine bowl in his hand up to Zaiduan, the eldest son of the Xu family, who was sitting at the top seat. Seeing Xu Zaiduan actually stood up from his chair, Zhajue Zhongding bowed hurriedly.

Amid the low encouragement of a group of people,

Zaiduan and Zhuaijue Zhongding were talking for half a minute, and Zaiduan said seriously, "So, the tribes of Bai and Gao are not feuding with each other as rumored?"

Zhua Jue Zhongding nodded: "Yes! That was just for show to others. My family only knew about this by chance!"

Zaiduan's eyes turned in thought, and after a moment he said, "Then the strategy we decided on before will have to change."

After saying that, Zaiduan smiled and raised his glass, saying, "Come, I'll toast you on behalf of General Cao and my father."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

At last,
Wu Song finished the last bowl of wine, stood for five breaths, and then ran out in panic.

Xu Zaijing burped and suppressed the wine that was rising up his throat.

Inner Courtyard,
Outdoors
Because there are many unmarried girls in each family today,
So, Xu Zaijing could only stand in the yard, a little drunk, and listen to the noise in the house.

There were other people around, the most conspicuous one was Gu Tingye who was being supported by someone.

The noble ladies including Zhang's Fifth Lady stood on the periphery.

Looking at the ladies surrounding Anmei's son,

In every auspicious word,

Gold coins and dates were poured into the silver basin where the baby was bathed.

The baby's grandmother, Sun, grandmother Pan, aunt Pingmei, aunt Xie, and Hualan all moved closer.

At the same time, they took off the hairpins of different materials from their hair and stirred them in the silver basin.

These hairpins have been carefully selected and the tips are not sharp.

"Wow!!!"

The baby who fell into the water began to cry.

quickly,

The baby was carried into the warm bedroom by the nurse.
Pingmei, Xie and Hualan fished out the floating upright dates in the silver basin and distributed them to the young women in the room one by one.

This was not the first time that Chai Zhengzheng, Rong Feiyan and other girls had participated in this kind of baby baptism ceremony.
She did not foolishly ask for the dates, which symbolized the birth of a son soon or a child directly, as she had done before in Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion.

This is why there are few young women today. If there were more people, the dates in the basin would probably be snatched away.

When dividing the dates,
Zhu Qinghu's wife Ni Qiqiu got a lot, and I don't know which three people gave it to her.
Looking at the three ladies who were dividing dates, Zheng Ni, who had just been teased, said a few words to Gu Tingyi.

Then Rong Feiyan and Chai Zhengzheng's faces turned red.

Seeing that Gu Tingyi was also smiling,
Rong Feiyan didn't know where to look. She bit her lip and looked out in panic. She happened to see her brother Rong Xian standing beside Xu Zaijing and asking something with concern.

Not far from Rong Xian was a young nobleman with a scar on his face.

Rong Feiyan glanced at Xu Zaijing, and her face turned even redder, not knowing what she was thinking of.

"Sister Feiyan, what are you thinking about?"

Gu Tingyi 'Seize the opportunity to pursue victory'.

Rong Feiyan hurriedly turned around, glanced at Chai Zhengzheng in panic, then leaned over to Chai Zhengzheng's ear and said something.

Chai Zhengzheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Sister Tingyi, is Mr. Huang from the Shoushan Earl here today?"

"Yes, Tingyi, do you know?" Zheng Ni asked hurriedly.

He glanced outside as he asked.

Gu Tingyi just stood there on his own: "I don't know!"

"Then I'll tell you."

Rong Feiyan said,

Gu Tingyi quickly covered his mouth.

The sun sets in the west,

The guests drank some tea and then began to leave.

The Xu family, as Anmei's maternal family, was the last to leave.

Sun, her son and daughter-in-law, accompanied Madam Pan to send Bai and Madam Wu to the gate.
When the ladies were talking,
An Mei's close friends in Beijing have already said goodbye.

Gu Tingyi, Wu Niang, Chai Zhengzheng, Rong Feiyan and the maids walked straight to the ladies, bowed and walked out.

After going out,
Looking around the streets, there were only a few carriages left on both sides.
Not far from the door were Xu Zaijing, Gu Tingye and others who were stationed at the station.

Seeing the crowd,

Especially the leader Xu Zaidun,
Zheng Ni, who was walking in front, bowed without any shyness, and the other noble ladies who followed did the same.

Although the Xu family arrived late, their location was closest to the gate.
Most of the carriages that arrived early stopped on the right side of Xu Zaijing and others. Although the coachmen had already led the draft horses to the gate, they still had to pass by Xu Zaijing and others.

"Brothers, I will go first."

"Go slowly, Jilang."

Zaiduan laughed.

After saying goodbye, Rong Xian rode his horse towards the Rong family carriage.

On the way, Rong Xian looked at Chai Zhengzheng walking towards the carriage, and sighed with loneliness and discomfort in his eyes.

"Xu~"

The two horses slowed down not far from the crowd.

The sturdy young man on horseback smiled and walked towards the Xu brothers.

Seeing that his two brothers looked a little uncertain, Xu Zaijing said softly, "That's the second son of the Chai family, Chai Bo."

The other one is his long-time attendant.

After a few people bowed and said hello,

Chai Bo walked towards Chai Zhengzheng who was standing in front of the carriage and looking at this place.

Soon, Chai Zhengzheng's carriage, accompanied by Chai Bo, passed in front of everyone.

Chai Bo stopped his horse again, and Chai Zhengzheng in the carriage also lifted the curtain.

Chai Bo smiled and bowed, "I forgot to tell you just now, there will be a banquet at my house next month, you must come then!"

Zaiduan smiled and said, "I have to go back to the camp at the beginning of the month, so I will definitely not be able to make it in time. Let the two brothers go."

"I see! Then I wish you a safe journey. Brother Zhang and Brother Jing will definitely come!"

"Thank you!"

The Xu brothers all bowed.

Chai Zhengzheng in the car smiled and nodded, then smiled slightly at Xu Zaijing who looked a little drunk.

Although Xu Zaijing was conscious, he felt a little dizzy due to the alcohol he had consumed today.

Looking at the beautiful girl with bright eyes in the carriage,

Xu Zaijing couldn't help but look at him a few more times, which stunned Chai Zhengzheng, who was looking at him politely.

Although Chai Zhengzheng mustered up the courage to look Xu Zaijing in the eye, wanting to see him forever, she could not last more than two breaths before she hurriedly lowered the curtain.

After lowering the car curtain, Chai Zhengzheng in the car felt like his heart was about to jump out!

I took a few deep breaths.

"Are you okay, miss?"

Fu Yi, who was sitting on the side of the carriage, asked hurriedly,
Yun Mu, who knew something, laughed and said, "Girl! This Xu family boy is really rude. How can he look at an unmarried lady like this!"

Chai Zhengzheng nodded quickly: "That's right! This pervert! Bah!"

Seeing Chai Zhengzheng's light smile, Fu Yi knew that everything would be fine, so she also laughed.

Zai Zhang, who was riding on a horse next to Xu Zai Jing, looked at Zai Duan meaningfully and then smiled.

A cold wind blew.
Xu Zaijing felt drunk.

"Brothers, I'm leaving now. We'll meet again when there's a chance!"

Rong Xian said as he rode back on horseback, with the Rong family's gorgeous and spacious carriage beside him.

Another return gift.

in the carriage,
The warm cotton curtains inside the car had been lifted up, leaving only the translucent gauze windows on the outside.

Perhaps it is the exquisite weaving skills of the gauze,

Or it's dark inside the car and bright outside,
The view from the outside of the car through the gauze window is blurry, but the view from the inside of the car is clearer.

Rong Feiyan turned sideways and stared at Xu Zaijing, who was confused and shaking his head to make himself more awake. There was some worry in her eyes about Xu Zaijing, so she looked straight at him.

But before Rong Feiyan could look for a while, she saw Xu Zaijing's gaze shooting towards her, as if he could see through the veil and see her clearly.

The fierce look frightened Rong Feiyan.

After feeling the gaze, Xu Zaijing saw clearly that it was Rong Feiyan's gaze, and he regained consciousness and smiled apologetically and apologetically.

Rong Feiyan finally reacted and quickly hid aside.

Looking at the maid's concerned eyes, Rong Feiyan shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

"Don't worry about the cotton curtain. The wind is a bit cold."

"Yes, girl!"

Listening to the sound of rumbling cars, Rong Feiyan closed her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth slightly. She remembered the look in Xu Zaijing's eyes when he fought against Yelu Ying in the palace that year.

He lowered his head and stroked his clothes.

Rong Feiyan thought to herself, "When he smiles, he's quite cute."
