Do you know: I am Xu Jiazi

Chapter 493 What are you doing! ~ [Thank you! Goodbye! I owe you 45k]

Mrs. Wu, who was standing on the second floor,

Pointing at Xu Zaijing and others who were entering the garden, he said:

"Go! Send someone to greet them and brush off the dust on them first."

"How can we meet people like this? Let them walk around the flower path after we finish sweeping."

"Yes, madam."

Jin Chui's mother, who was standing by, responded and hurried towards the entrance.
Not far away, Mama Zhu beside Madam Sun and Madam Chang beside Madam Bai also followed.

After Mrs. Wu finished speaking, she raised her chin towards the two personal maids beside her.

The female servants of the Liang family who had followed Madam Wu for many years understood what was meant and walked towards the two sides of the platform.

After leaving Madam Wu for a distance, one of the maids looked at the court maid standing beside her and said in a slightly louder voice:
"The Sixth Young Master and several other dukes have returned to the garden, covered in dust. Please take this pot of hot water down and keep it ready."

"yes!""

Near the second floor, the personal nurses and first-class maids of each family heard this conversation, changed their minds and walked towards their respective masters' homes.

After saying this, the Liang family's first-class maid continued to walk forward. After a dozen steps, she saw another maid at the polo field and said:

"Several dukes and Liu Lang have returned together. They will be walking along the flower path in a while! While they are tidying up their clothes, go down quickly to see if there is anything wrong along the way."

"Yes."

These words also had the same effect as before.

Several maids who heard the conversation went aside and said a few words to their mistress. Then the girl who had followed was pulled up by the maids and began to fix her makeup and hairpins.

There was also a lady from a certain household who started walking towards the railing near the flowers so that she could watch people more conveniently.

Second floor platform,

Watching the movements of the ladies and girls from near and far, Sun smiled at the approaching Madam Wu and said:
"Sister, you have so many tricks!"

Madam Wu walked over to Bai and sat down. She looked at Bai who was nodding with a smile and whispered helplessly:

"You can't do it without a plan! If you send someone to notify each family directly, it will seem condescending and rude."

"If you meet a proud and arrogant lady, you might feel unhappy or even resentful."

"It's better to deliberately let others hear it. Everything will come from my heart, and I won't suffer any harm."

Mrs. Bai nodded repeatedly and said with a smile, "It's just like the chrysanthemums in this field. If you like them, you take them. If you don't like them, you don't want them. It's up to you whether you pay for them or not."

"So, I have to pick out a dozen pots to take back today, so as to avoid leaving an impression of being stingy in Sister Wu's mind."

As Sun spoke, she and Bai looked at each other and smiled, with a teasing tone in their voices.

Mrs. Wu frowned, but with a smile in her eyes, she replied, "You want a dozen pots? That's not enough."

As she spoke, Mrs. Wu looked aside, her eyes narrowed, and the smile gradually faded.

Sun and Bai noticed it and followed Mrs. Wu's line of sight.
It happened that I saw the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liang family bringing a beautiful girl and talking to Mother Fan who was beside the fifth daughter of the Zhang family not far away.

Feeling the puzzled looks of the two marquises of the Sun and Bai families, Madam Wu shook her head and said, "My daughter-in-law's family and the Duke of Ying's family are related in some distant way."

"My stepmother's control is always criticized by others, no matter how loose or tight it is! Everyone has their own fate, so let her do as she pleases!"

"By the way, which girl did your third wife bring up just now?"

Bai smiled, glanced at Sun and said, "She is the daughter of the former Chuzhou governor, Lord Yan. I met her once in Chuzhou when I went to Yangzhou a few years ago."

Sun hesitated and asked, "Is it the time when Pingmei wrote to me?"

"Correct."

Madam Wu listened to the conversation and nodded secretly as she looked at Yan Sujun, who was standing among several noble ladies and listened more than she spoke.

At this time,

The three mothers who had just gone downstairs came back.

"How is it? Is everything ready?" Mrs. Wu asked.

Mother Jin on the side said, "Madam, everything has been taken care of!" As she said that, she glanced at Sun.

Madam Wu looked at Madam Chang and Madam Zhu, who had somewhat unnatural expressions, and asked curiously:

"Just say whatever you want to say. Why are you trying to hide it?"

Bai and Sun nodded in approval.

Seeing this, Mother Jin said:
"Well, madam, on the way back from Maotuogang, Jing was leading the way, but there was not much dust on his body."

"It's mainly Liu Lang and the other brothers from the other families..."

Sun turned her head to look at Mother Zhu, who looked calm and even a little proud, frowned, and said, "Go, take Jing."

Mrs. Wu interrupted by waving her hand, saying, "Wu Lang is not a kid who would bully others by relying on his good horse! Was it Liu Lang who proposed the horse race?"

Mother Jin shook her head and Nanny Chang let out a soft sigh.

"Brother Ye suggested it?"

Bai asked.

Nanny Chang nodded.

"He really deserves to be punished!" Bai said hatefully.

When the ladies on the second floor were talking,
Xu Zaijing and others were already familiar with the route and walked into the path surrounded by chrysanthemums and plants.

On the way,

"Brother Jing, look at this pot of Xiangyang red chrysanthemums. They are so beautiful!"

Qi Heng said as he stood beside a pot of chrysanthemums.

Xu Zaijing glanced at it and nodded with a smile, but Liang Han beside him pointed at the silk ribbon tied to the flower branch and said:

"Unfortunately, someone has already reserved it!"

Qi Heng was stunned and shook his head with some regret.

"It's settled? What's settled?" Xu Zaijing said, looking at the people beside him in confusion.

Gu Tingye: "Brother Jing, if anyone likes the chrysanthemums in this field, Madam Wu will send someone to deliver them to your house."

"It started last year, when you were still in the Northwest."

"I see."

Xu Zaijing continued walking along the path with the others.

Ninety-nine percent of the chrysanthemums with excellent shapes and colors along the way have been tied with ribbons.

After crossing a small bridge,

Liang Han looked at the second-floor platform at the side of the field, then walked down the bridge and chanted, "Year after year, the flowers are the same, but year after year, the people are different~"

Hearing poetry,

Qiao Jiulang put his hands behind his back in a pretentious manner and nodded in approval.

Qi Heng asked in confusion: "Liu Lang and Jiu Lang, why are you two beginning to be sad about the passing of time?"

Liang Han thought for a moment and said, "Young Master, I vaguely remember the first time I took a walk here a few years ago."

After looking back at the wooden bridge, he said, "It was probably at this location that I ran into several cousins! Now we are still in the flower room, but some of them have already married."

"Brother Xian from the Rong family, who left with us back then, is no longer coming! Alas~"

Hearing this, Gu Tingye looked around at the flowers and plants and sighed deeply.

At this time,

Xu Zaijing on the side patted Liang Han on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Liu Lang. You won't have to come here when you get married!"

Liang Han turned his head and glared at Xu Zaijing: "Brother Jing, what are you doing? What you said is really ruining the atmosphere."

Gu Tingye swung his sleeves and said, "Wu Lang, I was just trying to get my mood together! I was about to write a good poem, but you ruined it! Pay me back!"

Xu Zaijing looked at Changbai, Qi Heng and others who were looking at him with some resentful eyes, and said, "Oh? Let me think about it!"

Seeing Xu Zaijing walking forward with his hands behind his back without looking back, Liang Han glared and shouted, "Oh no! Jing wants to run away!"

Hearing this,

Xu Zaijing walked faster. After a while,

Xu Zaijing still had his hands behind his back, his chest rising and falling slightly.

Gu Tingye behind him was fine, but Chang Bai, Liang Han and the others could only lean on their knees and breathe heavily.

"Hey~"

For some reason, Qiao Jiulang had trouble breathing and fell to his knees, holding his stomach.

"Jiulang, what's wrong with you!?" Liang Han asked anxiously.

Seeing this, Xu Zaijing hurriedly walked back to the crowd, looked at Qiao Jiulang who was being supported by others, and asked, "What happened?"

"Snapped."

Gu Tingye hugged Xu Zaijing and said, "Hey, you fell into my trap!"

Looking at Qi Heng and Liang Han who came to help, Xu Zaijing, who could not hurt anyone, could only let them "capture" him.

"Alright, alright, I'll pay for it. Is that not okay? Let go first!"

"A gentleman's word is as good as gold!" said Gu Tingye.

"Well, it's hard to catch up with him!"

Listening to Xu Zaijing's words, the three of them slowly let go of their hands.

"Tell me, let me hear what poem you have to say to make amends, Wulang."

On the second floor,
Looking at Xu Zaijing and others chasing and playing in the flowers,
Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Bai, Madam Wu and others shook their heads helplessly.

"You're so old, and you're still so silly!"

Bai said with some anger.

At this time,

Chai Zhengzheng, Gu Tingyi and others who were standing by the railing came over with their maids.

After everyone bowed to the three ladies, Gu Tingyi said to Madam Wu a little embarrassedly:

"Madam, I heard that there are valuable things sent by Wensiyuan in the tent on the first floor not far away. I wonder if we can take a look first?"

Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "I have prepared those as prizes for the polo match in a few days. If you like them, buy them. What should I do?"

The girls looked at each other, and Chai Zhengzheng said, "Madam, then we can each pick one, okay?"

Madam Wu nodded: "Okay, let's go! One for each of us!"

When the girls followed Mother Jin downstairs and walked towards the tent on the first floor where Lu Zezong was staying,
Bai said, "Sister Wu, the things in Wensiyuan have always been in short supply. How did you get them today?"

"You have to ask my younger sister, Sister Sun." Madam Sun glanced at Mrs. Sun.

Sun said to Bai, "Sister, when we recovered our territory last year, not only did Bai Gao's treasures, which he had accumulated for a hundred years, return to the capital with the surrendered people, but also many skilled craftsmen. Most of them have now entered the Wensi Academy."

Bai nodded and said, "So, with the increase in the number of staff in Wensi Academy, naturally more things have been produced in the past year?"

"Yes! There are quite a few things on sale at the Li family's shop. I heard that sales are a bit slow, so I asked Sister Wu to ask the Li family to send some finished products. I will ask the ladies in the store to take a look in the afternoon."

Bianjing was quite large.

Li’s jewelry shop was not a chain store like today, so it was impossible for everyone to buy there.

Bai was puzzled, "Then why did you tell the girls that it was a prize and only let them buy one?"

"These things can really be used as prizes for football games! There is no limit on the quantity. What if your Sanniang and Miss Chai buy them all out for me?"

"The admission fee and grade of my polo field still need to be mentioned by the treasure of Wensiyuan!"

Mrs. Wu smiled.

layer,
Lu Zezong sat on a chair outside the tent.

From time to time, I peeked into the flowers.

When he saw the looming figures of Xu Zaijing and his group,

Lu Zezong always smiles.

Behind Lu Zezong,
Standing around the tent were the stewards, maids, and skilled servants of the Lu family, Duke of Lian.

"Brother, it will take a while for the Fifth Young Master to come back. Why don't you go to the end and wait for him?" said the nanny at the side.

Lu Zezong looked back at the tent and said, "No need! My brother said he would come to me as soon as he got out. These things in the tent are of great importance. I will not feel at ease if I leave."

After saying that, Lu Zezong turned his head to look at the old housekeeper at home and said, "Uncle Ban, how much do you think these things can be sold for today?"

The old steward hesitated for a while and said, "Don't worry, young master, we will definitely be able to sell a lot!"

After Lu Zezong nodded, he turned around and continued to lean over to look at the people walking among the flowers.

The old steward at the side whispered to Lu Zezong's personal nanny: "Young Master is so old, the old Duke and the old lady are relieved to let the boy take charge of today's affairs."

The nanny nodded and looked at Lu Zezong and said, "My brother also heard that his sworn brother, Xu Jia Wulang, could ride a horse and draw a bow in front of His Majesty more than 20 times at this age, so he insisted on competing for this job."

"It seems better this way than staying at home all the time! Although the prince consort's family will help you in the future, the burden of the Duke's Mansion will still have to be borne by you in the end."

"It's always good to experience more things."

Talking
There was a sound of footsteps not far away.

Seeing a group of noble ladies coming over, Lu Zezong stood up and asked in confusion: "Didn't they say it would start in the afternoon?"

Mother Jin bowed and said, "Young Master, my eldest lady said that the girls like them, so they can each pick one first."

Lu Zezong nodded to the personal nanny beside him.

The nanny quickly extended her hand: "Everyone, please come in."

The maid stayed outside, while Wu Niang, Ting Yi and others hurriedly took Yan Sujun and the other two into the tent. The first thing they saw was Lu Zezong's cousin standing inside.

Most of them had met each other several times at the gathering, and they gathered together and walked into the tent.

Chai Zhengzheng stopped at the door, looked at Lu Zezong with a smile and said, "Brother Zong, why are you always guarding here?"

Glancing at Rong Feiyan who was smiling at him from behind Chai Zhengzheng, Lu Zezong said, "I am responsible for watching these things today. I can't just play around."

Hearing this,

Chai Zhengzheng smiled even brighter and nodded, "Will anyone come to see you later?"

Lu Zezong thought for a moment and said, "Yes, my brother will come to play with me later with a few brothers. He just mentioned it when he passed by me."

"Okay! I'll go in and take a look first!"

Lu Zezong bowed and said, "Two sisters, please take your time to read it."

Inside the tent,
There are many treasure boxes in a row.
The jewelry, gold and silver wares produced by Wensiyuan were placed in precious wooden boxes and placed in grids.

After mutual communication and learning, the top gold and silver craftsmen from Da Zhou and Bai Gao made gold and silver wares and jewelry that were more delicate and exquisite than before.

Moreover, because Bai Gao attaches great importance to craftsmen, and has bellows and top-quality black gold carbon, his gold and silver forging skills are slightly better than Da Zhou in some aspects.

Wu Niang and Ting Yi were used to such occasions. If they liked something, they would ask Nanny Lu to hold it for them while they took a closer look at it.

Golden crowns shaped like deer antlers, bracelets inlaid with gemstones, dressing boxes and jewelry boxes made of various precious woods,

Various lifelike golden flower hairpins and hairpins,
And ropes woven with gold,

The three girls from the Yan family, who rarely saw such occasions, stared with their eyes wide open.

When the girls were looking at it happily,
Outside the tent,
Gu Tingye's voice came: "Zong'er, listen to the two good poems I just got."

"Second Brother Gu, what's a good poem?"

Hearing this,

The girls in the tent stopped what they were doing.

"Ah! The most unretainable thing in the world is the beauty of the mirror and the flowers and trees!"

There was a sound coming from outside.
All the girls in the tent looked at Gu Tingyi.

"Sister Tingyi, the second brother of the Gu family is very talented in writing! These two lines of poetry are really good!"

Zhang Jia Wu Niang said.

Chai Zhengzheng was standing in front of an exquisite dressing table mirror box, listening to the poetry outside and looking at himself in the clear and bright bronze mirror in front of him, stunned.
