Do you know: I am Xu Jiazi

Chapter 494: Liu Lang's Temptation [Thank you! Goodbye! 45K owed]

Yan Sujun and three other girls from civil servant families,

I am used to seeing my father and brothers reciting poems and writing couplets at home.
When the three girls heard Gu Tingye's voice outside the tent, their eyes lit up.

"Zong'er, how is it?"

Gu Tingye's voice continued to be heard from outside the tent.

"Well I don't understand, but it sounds good."

Lu Zezong replied.

"That's right, you are too young to understand the sadness we feel at our age."

"There are so many maids standing at the door. Is there someone strolling around inside? Is my sister in there too?"

Gu Tingye continued.

"Yes, sir."

Gu Tingyi's personal maid replied in a crisp voice.

"Zong'er, do you want to go up there with me?"

A voice different from Gu Tingye's sounded.

"Brother Xu Wu is here too." Zhang Jia Wu Niang whispered.

Chai Zhengzheng walked around in the tent, looking around, and stopped at a place where he could see the tent door.

outside the account,

"Brother, you haven't seen Wu Lang for a while. Why don't you go around and get close to him? With the two of us here, we guarantee that nothing will go wrong."

Listening to the words of the old servant at home,
Lu Zezong raised his head and looked at Xu Zaijing who was smiling and nodding beside him. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded.

"Walk."

As he spoke, Xu Zaijing stretched out his hand.

Lu Zezong put his hand into Xu Zaijing's palm.

Qi Heng on the side smiled and put his arm around Lu Zezong's shoulders.

Everyone walked towards the second floor.

Liang Han turned around and was about to leave.

I don't know what he was thinking of, but he stopped and waved to the fishing cart beside him.

After whispering a few words, Diao Che nodded with embarrassment.

Soon, there were no longer as many people at the door of the tent as before.

The servant Diaoche did not follow, but walked to the side of the old steward of the Lu family, bowed and whispered a few words.

"Uncle, it doesn't have to be too expensive. This price is probably about right." As he said this, Diao Che took out a few silver bills from his sleeve with a look of heartache on his face.

"I know! Once the ladies inside have finished choosing, I will send someone to pick out the items and send them to Liu Lang." Manager Ban nodded.

Diao Che waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, kid, I'll come and get it!"

inside the account,

Chai Zhengzheng withdrew his gaze from the door of the tent.

Looking at the wooden box in front of her, which was made of several strands of gold and silver threads and silk ropes, the rope had intricate and exquisite patterns. She waved to Nanny Lu.

When Nanny Lu came closer with a smile,

Chai Zhengzheng smiled and said, "Mammy, I want this box of gold, silver and colored silk."

Nanny Lu smiled and nodded: "Young lady, you have good taste. This kind of colorful rope is perfect for the handle of a purse."

Chai Zhengzheng nodded: "If there are any more, I will take them too."

"Hey! Wait a moment, I'll go ask."

This kind of colorful rope would look good if made into a purse, but it would also be good if made into a bridle for a mount.

the other side,
The three girls from the Yan family beside Gu Tingyi reluctantly turned their eyes away from the hairpins and earrings.

Although they are daughters of officials, they would not bring too much money with them when they come to the chrysanthemum viewing party. The things in the tent are a bit "overpriced".

Gu Tingyi, who was standing by, noticed the hesitation of the three girls and opened his mouth to speak, wanting to remind them.

When the words came to his lips, Gu Tingyi thought about it, and then he had an idea. He said to the Lu family's nanny who was not far away: "Mammy, put the one I have chosen aside for now. I will come to buy it after I ask my mother for permission."

Nanny Lu smiled and nodded.

Yan Sujun and the other three girls looked at each other, and Yan Sujun said, "I'm sorry to bother you with this golden hairpin! I will let you know whether mother agrees or not."

"Thank you, young lady." Nanny Lu beside Chai Zhengzheng smiled and nodded.

Second floor platform,

Where are the ladies?
The voices of Xu Zaijing and others were heard from downstairs.

quickly,

There were footsteps on the stairs nearby.

Nanny Chang, who was standing next to Bai, glanced at the stairs and a smile appeared on her face.

Go upstairs,
Looking at the ladies sitting there, Xu Zaijing hurriedly bowed and called for help.

All of a sudden, greetings such as "Hello, Aunt Wu Jin'an," "Madam," "Hello, Aunt Qiu'an," and "Hello, Auntie" were heard from the second floor.

The ladies smiled and nodded.

When calling someone,
Xu Zaijing, Gu Tingye and others would most likely take a curious look at the unfamiliar ladies standing beside Sun and the others.

Hello, end.

Bai smiled and said, "Ye'er, Jing'er, do you two still remember this lady?"

Hearing this, Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye looked carefully at the smiling woman.

"Now that I see that he looks familiar, I can remember him right away!" Gu Tingye frowned and said with reminiscence in his eyes.

Xu Zaijing bowed and said, "Meet the Lady of the Yan Family."

"Yes, yes, yes, I remember now! I've seen him in Chuzhou!" Gu Tingye said hurriedly.

Listening to the two people's conversation, the lady of the Yan family smiled and nodded, and said to Sun and Bai, "You two ladies are so lucky! I haven't seen you for a few years, and you two brothers have become more handsome than ever."

Gu Tingye: "Hehe."

Xu Zaijing: "Thank you, madam. Your compliment is too much."

Gu Tingye: "Yes, yes, yes, madam, you are too kind."

Bai smiled a little embarrassedly and shook her head.

Sun quickly changed the subject and asked, "Did you pick out a few good horses at Maotuogang?"

Xu Zaijing and the others smiled, and Liang Han cupped his hands and said, "Madam, we have all picked one."

Sun looked at Changbai and Changfeng and asked, "You two have picked one too?"

Changbai and Changfeng hurriedly bowed and said yes.

"Well, then it's worth the trip."

Subsequently,

Madam Wu glanced at Sun who had finished speaking, and seeing that the others had no intention of continuing, she said, "Okay, you guys go sit aside! The food will be served soon."

Xu Zaijing and others hurriedly bowed and said goodbye, and walked to the side of the platform.

After a few people sat down near a low table, a maid brought a screen over to separate the crowd from the ladies.

Gu Tingye said to Xu Zaijing: "Brother Jing, whose wife was sitting next to Madam Wu just now?"

Xu Zaijing: "From the Wu family."

Gu Tingye: “Ah?”

Liang Han came over and said, "My aunt."

after awhile,

The voices of the girls were heard from outside the screen.

A certain girl got her mother's permission and sent her maid to the first floor to buy the hairpin that she liked.

Afterwards, all the ladies sat in the middle, and a screen was set up on the other side, and the ladies sat there.

room,

Because the two knew each other,

Yan Sujun was arranged to sit below Gu Tingyi. She drank a few cups of dogwood wine with the other girls, feeling a little awkward.
After eating some dishes, the atmosphere gradually became lively and the girl from the Yan family also relaxed a little.

Subsequently,

After clinking glasses with Gu Tingyi, Yan Sujun whispered to Gu Tingyi: "Sanniang, do you know what happened to the young lady in the story we heard on the boat?"

Ting Yi put down his wine glass, nodded and whispered: "Of course I know! That girl is in Bian Jing now."

"what?"

Gu Tingyi continued to nod: "She returned to Bianjing with us! Some time after we separated, the young lady gave birth to a boy in Yangzhou."

"Oh!" Yan Sujun smiled.

"By the way, the lady Wei who told us the story is now working in my salt shop. She is very good at arithmetic."

As he spoke, Gu Tingyi looked towards the platform and said, "It's a pity that Sister Minglan didn't come today, otherwise I would have had a chance to compete with her in pitching pots."

Looking at Yan Sujun's puzzled expression, Gu Tingyi explained the relationship between Minglan and Wei Shuyi.

“I didn’t expect there would be so many things later.”

Gu Tingyi looked at Yan Sujun's sighing expression, thought for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Come to think of it, Madam Wu's sister-in-law has two sons, and it is said that the eldest son has been engaged."

"Sanniang, why are you telling me this?"

The girl from the Yan family said with some embarrassment on her face.

"When we left the second floor just now, the lady wasn't around here! Why did Mrs. Wu call us over?"

Yan Sujun looked at Chai Zhengzheng, Rong Feiyan and others sitting at the table.

"Why are you looking at them? They have been in Bianjing for a long time. If they wanted to see each other, they would have seen each other a long time ago."

In the afternoon.

Under the leadership of Madam Wu, Bai, Sun and others,
The officials and noble ladies who came to appreciate the chrysanthemums,

I just walked around in the Lu family tent.
They "buyed up" all the things that Lu Zezong brought, and almost even the prizes that Mrs. Wu had prepared for the football game were bought out.

see this scene,

Madam Wu said to Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Sun, "It seems that we need to ask the Li family to prepare more next year."

That is, when the ladies and wives all went to look at the gold and silver jewelry,
Some distance away from the Lu family tent, in the opposite direction, the tent on the edge of the field was surrounded by pots of chrysanthemums.

At this time, most people are far away, and this place is sparsely populated, secluded and quite quiet.

Liang Han's servant was fishing for a car.
The last pot of chrysanthemums was placed in front of the curtain at the entrance of the tent. With the chrysanthemums as a barrier, others would not be able to enter the tent easily.

Afterwards, the fishing car stood nearby, looking around from time to time.

In the tent,
There were tables and chairs set up.

Liang Han, who smelled slightly of alcohol, sat on a chair and pushed a valuable wooden box on the table forward: "Sister Wan, take a look at this pair of earrings. Do you like them?"

On a chair across a table,
The pretty Wan Chun Ge pursed her lips and shook her head, saying, "No merit, no reward. Whether I like it or not, I don't want it either."

Liang Han smiled and said, "Take a look first. This is a good thing made by Wensi Academy."

Liang Han opened the wooden box himself: "Wow!"

Hearing Liang Han's voice, Miss Wan turned her head and looked into the wooden box.
Looking at the pair of exquisitely crafted gold earrings in the wooden box, Wan Chunge couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Sister Wan, please try!"

Wan Chunge stared and shook his head.

Seeing this, Liang Han took out the earrings from the wooden box and said, "Well, let me help Sister Wan try it."

As he spoke, Liang Han moved the earring towards Wan Chunge's earlobe.

The golden sun sets in the west,

The sun is golden,

The chrysanthemum viewing party is coming to an end.

At the entrance of the polo field,
The servants and grooms were busy leading the horses and driving the carriage.

Xu Zaijing, Gu Tingye and others stood near the door, talking and waiting.

Qi Heng, who was standing on the periphery, looked at Liang Han who was walking over with some curiosity and asked, "Liu Lang, where have you been?"

Liang Han smiled very proudly: "I didn't do anything, just looked at the gifts."

Xu Zaijing, who heard the conversation between the two, looked back.

Liang Han quickly smiled and nodded.

Seeing Xu Zaijing pointing at his lips, Liang Han was stunned for a moment, then quickly touched his lips.

Afterwards, Liang Han looked at the red lip balm on his hand and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

When he looked up again, Xu Zaijing had already turned his head away from him.
Qi Heng, who was standing by, was full of curiosity and asked, "Liu Lang, why are you putting on lipstick?"

Liang Han turned around, glared at his servant who was fishing, then looked at Qi Heng and said, "Young Master, do I have any more on my lips?"

Qi Heng pointed to his lower lip, and Liang Han quickly wiped it with his sleeve.

Seeing Qi Heng was about to speak, Liang Han whispered, "Young Master, don't ask anymore."

Qi Heng looked at Liang Han's expression and realized something. After looking around, Qi Heng asked, "Liu Lang, who are you with who hugged you in Jinming Lake?"

Liang Han licked his lips and nodded: "Yes! Young Master, you must not leak it out, otherwise if people find out, it will be a big disaster!"

Qi Heng nodded repeatedly, looking at Liang Han's expression and said, "I know, I know."

Not knowing what he was thinking of, Qi Heng waved at Buwei, and after Buwei stepped aside, he said, "Liu Lang, what's wrong with you?"

Liang Han: "What?"

Qi Heng pointed to his lips.

Liang Han understood and glanced forward. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he whispered with some pride: "Young Master, do you want to ask me how I kissed the girl?"

Qi Heng also felt a little uncomfortable. He glanced at Changbai like a thief and nodded.

Liang Han moved closer to Qi Heng and whispered, "Send something!"

Seeing Qi Heng's eyes light up, Liang Han continued to whisper:
"If a girl likes you, you should give her something! But you can't kiss her right after giving her something!"

Qi Heng nodded as if he was being taught: "If we can't kiss, then what are we doing?"

"Nothing! But you can bring the two of you closer! The girl has accepted your gift, so it's hard for her to refuse you to get closer."

"Oh"

"When you send me off again, you can try holding hands, young master."

Listening to Liang Han's whisper, Qi Heng, who didn't know what he was thinking, smiled a little and whispered: "Before at Jinming Lake, you held Liu Lang in your arms, yes."

"Yeah! I sent it many times before I succeeded."

"Liu Lang, what did you give me this time?"

"A pair of gold earrings from Wensiyuan."

Liang Han looked at Qi Heng's eyes and said, "Young Master, you must not give such expensive gifts at the beginning! If it is too expensive, the girl will not be able to accept it, and it will easily expose your intentions."

"What's wrong?"

Liang Han whispered, "Let's start with the delicious and fun things."

After finishing speaking, Liang Han looked at Qi Heng curiously and continued in a low voice: "Young Master, which noble lady have you set your eyes on?"

As he spoke, Liang Han looked towards the row of carriages that were already on the way back to Beijing.

Qi Heng first turned around and gave Bu Wei a warning look, then shook his head: "Nothing, I'm just asking out of curiosity."

The servant Diaoche, who was following behind the two of them, had an unnatural look on his face and looked at Buwei, who was confused.

At this time, Qi Heng looked at Liang Han's eyes staring straight ahead and said, "Hmm? Liu Lang, what's wrong with you?"

Liang Han scratched his temples and whispered, "Young Master, Jing Ge glanced back at me just now. Did he hear what we said?"

Qi Heng looked at the distance and shook his head, "How could Brother Jing hear it at a distance of thirty or forty feet? Look at Second Uncle, he didn't react."

Liang Han nodded: "That's right, Jing Ge knows everything about me anyway."

In Bianjing City,

The Kaifeng Prefecture police officers brought their hunting dogs.

Arrived at the outer city,
Looking at the entrances leading to the Worry-Free Cave, there were soldiers standing solemnly with swords and spears in hand.
Several people looked at each other.

Constable Li Mubai walked over slowly, bowed and said, "Excuse me. I wonder which general of the guard is here?"

The imperial guardsman glanced at Li Mubai and said loudly, "Dragon Guards, this is a mission personally assigned by General Tan, the fourth son of Duke Anguo, to eliminate the thieves in Wuyou Cave!"
