Do you know: I am Xu Jiazi

Chapter 463 Bianjing Evil Boy Xu [Thank you! Thank you again! I owe you 41k more]

The beginning of the You hour (around 5 p.m.)
The sun sets in the west,

Chai family,

Qiushengyuan,
The rose-red pomegranate flowers in the courtyard under the porch are in full bloom.
The warm summer breeze blows,

The flowers and green leaves sway gently together.

On the porch by the pomegranate tree,

A noble lady in a decent spring dress, with her skirt fluttering in the wind, walked hurriedly past the pomegranate tree with her maid.

"Girl, slow down! Didn't you just say you had nothing to hear?"

After the nanny behind Chai Zhengzheng finished speaking, the corners of the mouths of the maids following behind him all curled up.

Chai Zhengzheng, who was walking in front, kept walking: "I heard that big brother bought something for me."

"Oh! We have to hurry up, or Erlang will snatch it away."

After the nanny finished speaking, she smiled and followed Chai Zhengzheng's footsteps.

Mrs. Chai's courtyard,
Chai Zhengzheng slowed down his pace at the moon gate leading into the courtyard.

"The girl is here."

The maid at the door saw the visitor and preached.

The maid lifted the door curtain, and Chai Zhengzheng stepped into the room and bowed with a smile:
"Mother, brother."

Chai Bo sat in the chair with an interested look on his face, listening happily.

Seeing Chai Zhengzheng, Chai Bo smiled and nodded at his sister, then turned his eyes and said, "Brother, I didn't hear you clearly just now. Are you saying that you and Jing'er left the wing room and went to the courtyard where the stall was set up? Did the incident happen here?"

Chai Jin smiled and nodded: "Yes!"

Mrs. Chai, who was sitting at the top, blew on the steaming teacup in her hand and glanced at her daughter, who was sitting on a chair picking golden apricots to eat, seemingly without interest.

"And then what?" Chai Bo asked.

Chai Jin imitated Madam Chai and took a sip of the teacup. After a while, he said, "Then, we walked around the courtyard and met someone."

"Who? Big brother, tell me!"

Chai Zhengzheng held the golden apricot in his hand and looked at his second brother Chai Bo with admiration in his eyes.

Chai Jin placed the teacup on the table:

"I heard that the man was an official from the Imperial City Department named Gao, and he looked so anxious that he was sweating profusely."

"We followed him, but just as we reached the side door of the courtyard, Mr. Gao looked back at us and shouted for someone outside the courtyard to run!"

Chai Zhengzheng didn't bother to eat the golden apricots, and asked in surprise: "Ah? Why is this?"

Chai Jin said: "We are curious too! Let's go over and take a look. You have also seen that person's sister!"

Chai Zhengzheng looked confused: "Who?"

"The Zhang family brother from Beizhou who visited our house! He shot Jing brother with a bow and arrow outside the city before!"

"Oh~ It's him!" Chai Zhengzheng frowned and nodded.

"When Jing Ge'er beside me saw this man, he immediately walked out quickly!" said Chai Jin.

"Did he hit me hard?" Chai Zhengzheng asked hurriedly.

Without waiting for Chai Jin to answer, Chai Zhengzheng continued, "That day, he and Gu Erlang were chased from the east to the north of the city, and they became enemies!"

Chai Jin shook his head: "Brother Jing didn't do it."

Chai Zhengzheng: "Ah? How come?"

Chai Jin said:
"Brother Jing had just taken two steps out of the side door when Lord Gao and five or six of his men grabbed his arms, thighs and waist, and dragged him away, allowing Brother Zhang to escape."

"Sister, you didn't see it. Brother Jing dragged five or six big men forward by himself. He is really capable. If it were me, I would have a hard time too!"

Chai Bo glanced at his elder brother and said, "Ahem!"

Chai Jin glanced at his sister embarrassedly, then glared at Chai Bo fiercely.

Then, Chai Jin looked at the golden apricot in Chai Zhengzheng's hand, smiled and said:

"And I think if Jing wasn't afraid of hurting the imperial city clerks who were holding him tightly, Zhang would not have been able to escape."

"Brother, why is this?" Chai Bo turned his head to look at Chai Zhengzheng and asked.

Chai Jin said: "Before Jing was hugged, he threw the apricot in his hand and hit Zhang's head."

Chai Bo picked up a hard apricot from the fruit plate in front of him, touched it to his forehead and took a breath: "Hiss! It hurts a little."

Chai Zhengzheng looked at the pit under the apricot flesh that he had bitten open and smiled.

The Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty,

Under the palace,

Outside the wing where the attendants and guards lived,

Gao Yunqing, with a dusty face and dejected expression, stood in front of Zhao Meifeng. Behind him was a row of subordinates who were also covered in dust and standing with their heads bowed.

"Ugh~"

I heard someone vomiting in the house.
Zhao Meifeng stretched out his hand and pointed in front of Gao Yunqing angrily: "Gao Yunqing, have you spent more than ten years in the Imperial City Bureau in vain? You can't even handle such a small matter as your caretaker? Huh!? How could you let him meet Jing Ge'er?"

"Master, it's not that Gaotou is not doing his best, we..."

As soon as the subordinate behind him said something, Gao Yunqing turned his head and scolded:

"Shut up!"

The subordinate shut up awkwardly.

Zhao Meifeng glanced at the embarrassed official and said to Gao Yunqing, "Fortunately, you were smart and used your bodies to hold Jing Ge'er back. Otherwise, if the man in the room was really disabled or dead, you would have suffered the consequences!"

"Squeak~"

The door opens,

Yu Huguang came out carrying a medicine box.

Zhao Meifeng hurried over and said, "Doctor Xiao Yu, how is Master Zhang?"

Yu Huguang looked at Zhao Meifeng and bowed, saying, "Master Zhao, Mr. Zhang has a scalp abrasion and brain vibration, but there is nothing else wrong. He will recover after taking medicine and resting for a while."

"That's good, that's good!"

Zhao Meifeng breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Doctor Xiao Yu!"

Yu Huguang nodded, hesitating to speak, and said, "That's it."

"Is that so?" Zhao Meifeng asked.

"The medicine may taste a bit bitter." Yu Huguang said.

"I know, I know." Zhao Meifeng nodded repeatedly.

Yu Huguang said goodbye and left. Looking at Yu Huguang's back, Zhao Meifeng looked at the side room and shook his head and said, "The medicine is bitter? How bitter can it be?"

"Okay, go back to the government office and change your clothes."

"Yes, sir."

Gao Yunqing and others bowed in response.

Watching the subordinates leave,

Zhao Meifeng shook his head, turned and walked towards the palace.

In the bedroom of Concubine Rong,
The emperor frowned and sat behind a table with food, listening to the eunuch's report.

"That's all? Just a bruise and a brain shock?"

"Your Majesty, that's all."

"Humph, how audacious! He beat my personal guards just because he wanted to! How can this be justified!"

The eunuch bowed beside him and said nothing.

Rong Fei, who was standing by, smiled and rubbed the emperor's back:

"Your Majesty, calm down! The Xu family is a young and hot-tempered man. He was chased and shot so far before, so he must have resentment in his heart."

"Besides, Your Majesty, you know that Jing'er was with Bai Gao. No matter how difficult and dangerous the situation was, he had a team of people chasing Bai Gao and killing tens of thousands of people. How could he have suffered such injustice?"

After Rong Fei finished speaking, the emperor took a deep breath and tilted his head: "Humph!"

Rong Fei smiled and picked up some food for the emperor. She continued, "With Jing'er's ability, if he really gets angry without any scruples, I don't think the Imperial City Division can stop him!"

The emperor glanced at Rong Fei unhappily, and his heart softened for no reason.

Concubine Rong is very similar to the emperor's previous favorite concubine, Concubine Zhang, but Concubine Rong and Concubine Zhang are completely different types of people.

Concubine Rong came from the common people. She was smart, quick-witted and bold.

Concubine Zhang came from a noble family in the Great Zhou Dynasty and had the innocence and reserve of a noble lady.

But after Rong Fei entered the palace, she was influenced by the wealth and wealth, and her demeanor became more and more elegant and noble, with a unique style.

"Humph! If it weren't for the fact that his father and brother have made great contributions to the country, I would have taught this kid a lesson long ago."

"Your Majesty is kind."

"Come here!" The eunuch bowed and replied, "Your Majesty."

"Send someone to warn the Xu family kid. Before the provincial examination, he is not allowed to go anywhere else except to the Sheng family to study!"

"According to the order."

Quyuan Street,
There are lanterns hanging at the gate of Zou's courtyard.

Under the lantern,
Chu Zhan scratched his head with an embarrassed look on his face, and said to the woman opposite him, "Madam Zou, this is the big fish I bought at Qiao's seafood store. Do you think it can be pickled like the dried fish I made before?"

After saying this, Chu Zhan glanced at Zou Xiaomei who looked unconvinced and squinted at him arrogantly.

Madam Zou smiled, looked at the fish, and said, "Leave it to me."

After saying that, Madam Zou pushed Little Sister Zou beside her and said, "Go aside."

"Sister~"

Zou Xiaomei said coquettishly.

Chu Zhan smiled secretly, handed over the skewered fish and said, "Thank you, madam. I'll bring you the salt later."

Mrs. Zou nodded.

At this time,

"Boring~"

There was a sound of gongs,
Chu Zhan hurriedly looked towards the street corner.

Zou Xiaomei also stepped over the threshold and peeked out to see the group of golden-armored guards. She asked, "What are you doing?"

"The eunuchs in the palace should be coming to the Marquis' Mansion." Chu Zhan replied.

"Oh!" Zou Xiaomei and her sister who was carrying the big fish nodded.

quickly,

"Squeak~"

The door of the Yongyi Marquis's mansion opened.

A group of people from the palace entered the marquis's mansion.

The front hall of the mansion,

In the bright yellow candlelight,

The eunuch from the palace looked at Xu Minghua with a smile and said, "Lord Xu, Madam, this is the emperor's order. Please stand up."

"Your Majesty, I obey your order."

Xu Minghua and Sun, along with their son and daughter-in-law, bowed and said.

He lifted the couple up.
Xu Minghua said, "Father-in-law, are you just going to let this rebellious son go to the Sheng family to study and not wander around?"

As he spoke, Xu Minghua glanced at Xu Zaijing who was at the back.

The eunuch smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, that's it, nothing else."

"Empress Rong knows that Jing'er is feeling aggrieved, but she said that Your Majesty is doing this for Jing'er's own good!"

"The queen also picked out some fine yarn and gauze materials that are needed in summer from her private storehouse and asked the embroiderers in the mansion to make something for them!"

Xu Minghua and Sun said, "Thank you, Madam."

Xu Zaijing behind him bowed as well.

The eunuch gave the couple Xu Hou a little support.
She looked at Xu Zaijing with an even more charming smile and said, "Wu Lang, before I left the palace, His Highness stopped me and told me that the weather would get hot in a few days, and ordered me to deliver this note from the Ice Well Office to Jing'er. From now on, if you need ice in the mansion, you can go directly to the Ice Well Office to get it."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Xu Zaijing bowed and said.

The eunuch flicked his whisk and bowed slightly.

"Okay, Lord Xu, Madam, I will take my leave now."

"I'll see the eunuch off."

The eunuch waved his hand and said, "Lord Xu is too polite. I will let Wulang take me there."

Hearing this, Xu Zaijing stepped forward and bowed:
"Eunuch, please."

The eunuch smiled at Marquis Xu and his wife, Mrs. Xie, Hua Lan and others, then turned and left.

On the way out of the house,
The eunuch looked at Xu Zaijing who was half a step behind him and whispered, "Wu Lang, His Highness said that you should focus on the imperial examination. That Zhang family's Pan brother's career in the government is obvious at a glance. Why do you have to get angry with him and only make His Majesty unhappy?"

"I saved it. Thank you, Your Highness, and thank you, eunuch."

The eunuch smiled and nodded.

at night,

In the palace,

Under the Imperial City,
Guards Barracks,

The attendant came in with a bowl of medicine: "Sir, take the medicine."

Zhang Shipan was helped up with a dizzy head. Looking at the medicine soup in the bowl in front of him, he could smell the medicinal smell.

Zhang Shipan frowned and suppressed the nausea in his throat. He endured the discomfort and took a sip. Then his whole face was so bitter that it was squeezed into a ball: "Ugh~"

"Water! Water! Ugh~"

After gargling several times, Zhang Shipan felt a bitter and numb mouth. He looked at the medicine bowl in the servant's hand and said, "What is this? Is it for humans to drink?"

"Sir, this is a prescription written by the most powerful golden and purple medical officer in the palace. Please take another sip."

Zhang Shipan: "Here comes the thief!"

A few days later,
Guanghuafang

Shen Family,

The Shen family's eldest son's wedding is approaching.

The entire Shen family’s house was filled with joy.

Shen's backyard,

In the courtyard,

Shin Hezhen, who had been in Beijing for some time, was like a little adult, chatting and laughing with the girls from the families of his father's fellow civil servants who came to visit.

"Oh! The evil young man from the Xu family was ordered by His Majesty to go to school. The city of Bianjing can finally have some peace."

Shin Hezhen put down the fruit in her hand, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and looked at the noble lady who was speaking with confusion.

Li Jia Wu Niang, who was eating pickled snails, paused her graceful chewing and continued eating without saying anything.

Hai Chaoyun, who was sitting next to Shen Hezhen, tilted her head to the back, and the maid Zhu Jian leaned over to her ear and said:
"Miss, the one who is speaking is the third daughter of Lord Shen Zhi, the prefect of Jiangling. The eldest lady of the Shen family is related to the Han family of the Marquis of Zhennan. The Marquis of Zhennan and the Duke of Han are of the same generation."

After Zhu Jian finished speaking, he checked with Baoxiu on the other side in a low voice. Baoxiu came over and said, "Miss Shen is the same as Miss Shen. She has just arrived in Beijing."

Hai Chaoyun nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Third sister of the Shen family, where did you hear about the 'evil boy'?"

Shin Hezhen nodded.

Most of the other officials' wives and noble ladies were whispering to each other.

Miss Shen San smiled and said:

"Sister Chaoyun, I heard it from my cousins ​​from Duke Hanguo and the Marquis Zhongshan family!"

After saying this, he continued:

"Hezhen, you didn't know this because you have been in Beijing for a short time. The other sisters who have been here for a long time must know this! This evil young man from the Xu family has been doing evil things in Bianjing. He either fights with the sons of nobles in the capital or with foreign envoys. He even dares to provoke the people of Jin."

"I heard that a disaster happened at Shenbao Temple two years ago, and this evil young man from the Xu family was the instigator!"

"Didn't that evil boy beat others in Daxiangguo Temple two days ago? The news spread all over the capital! But he didn't expect to run into such a tough guy, so he was ordered by His Majesty to study."

Listen to what this girl said,
Although Yu Yanran didn't say anything, she still scratched her eyebrows uncomfortably: This girl made a lot of money by imitating Xu Zaijing's works and creating some lovely embroidery paintings!
Therefore, Yu Yanran leaned close to Hai Chaoyun's ear with a guilty conscience and whispered, "Sister Chaoyun, this sister is wrong, and fortunately, we didn't invite the fifth sister of the Zhang family to come today, otherwise..."

Hai Chaoyun smiled and nodded, looking at Shen's third wife and said, "Third sister, if you listen to both sides of these things, you will understand them clearly, but if you listen to only one side, you will be confused. Sometimes you still need to find out more."

Shen Hezhen nodded in agreement: "I heard from my father that my brother is going to ask the fifth son of the Xu family to be the best man at his wedding! I don't think my sister's relatives from the Zhennan Marquis family said so, right?"

The third daughter of the Shen family looked incredulous and looked at the people who were talking: "Ah? But, my relatives are good! Well, cousin Han Jiyun, the Marquis of Zhennan, never gossips about others."

"By the way, I heard at home that the second son of Ningyuan Marquis Gu's family and the young master of Qiguogong's mansion are both well-educated. Have you sisters ever seen them?"

A girl said, "Sister Shen, the two people you mentioned are classmates of that evil boy you mentioned!"

"Ah? Then they won't be led astray by that person, right?"

Hearing this,

The officials' wives in the courtyard all held up their round fans and laughed.

I don’t know whether to laugh at the girl’s naivety or at what she said.

"Sister, let's wait until you have met that 'evil boy' before we talk."

The laughter in the hall was even louder.
"Ouch!"

A girl exclaimed,
It turned out that the girl who had just spoken whispered something to her best friend beside her, and was pushed away in shame and anger.
