Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

"Girl, are you awake?"

Looking at Chai Zhengzheng who opened his eyes,

Yunmu, who was standing by the side, said with a smile.

"Um."

Chai Zhengzheng nodded and sat up from the couch wrapped in a thin quilt.

Hearing the conversation between master and servant,

The maid in the house came over with warm water and a face towel.

Covering his face with a warm towel, Chai Zhengzheng took the offered tea and rinsed his mouth. After passing the teacup out, he stared blankly at the incense burner not far away.

After a while,

"girl?"

Yunmu held the Xingshen tea drink and called out softly with some doubts in his eyes.

"Huh?"

"oh!"

Chai Zhengzheng took the tea and began to sip it.

Looking at Chai Zhengzheng who was in a daze again, Yunmu said: "Girl, what happened just now?"

Chai Zhengzheng, who was holding the teacup in both hands, took a deep breath, looked at Yunmu, with a smile on his face and said, "It's nothing! It was just a dream."

Yunmu nodded, smiled and reached out to take the tea cup handed over by Chai Zhengzheng.

Chai Zhengzheng stretched his body and said:

"That's right! Is the steward of my shop going to be paid in the future?"

"Yes girl!"

"Well, New Year's Day is approaching, and it's been a hard year! The stewards will get five more months' pay, the clerks will get three more months' pay, and those who are in the shop around New Year's Eve will get another half month's pay."

"Yes, girl!"

"You guys...double."

Yun Mufu bowed and said with a smile: "Thank you, miss!"

After Chai Zhengzheng finished speaking, he stood up from the couch and walked towards the table in the room.

Not long after sitting down,

Fu Yi walked over from behind the screen and said, "Girl, the shop has sent us some materials. Madam specially picked some and asked you to see what you think."

Chai Zhengzheng, who was writing with his head down, did not raise his head and said, "Well, bring it in!"

Fuyi should have walked out.

Ziteng on the side came over holding the account book and said: "Girl, I went out to get the account book just now, and I saw dark clouds coming from the north!"

"Huh? Dark clouds? Will it snow?" Chai Zhengzheng lowered his head and asked.

"This slave doesn't know about this."

soon,

The silk and satin with complicated patterns and gorgeous colors placed on several wooden frames was carried into the hall.

behind the desk,

After writing the last few words, Chai Zhengzheng raised his head and looked at the brocade silk hanging on the wooden frame.

Among them, several pieces of brocade silk have the same color as the headband of Miss Feiyan in the dream just now.

The rest are the colors that Xu Zaijing likes.

This made the expression on Chai Zhengzheng's face suddenly freeze.

Yun Mu and other personal maids, who knew a lot of things, looked at each other with smiles in their eyes when they saw the color of the material.

They waited quietly for Chai Zhengzheng to choose some ingredients with a smile full of joy.

"Mom, she is really thoughtful! But! Forget about these colors of materials, I don't want to wear them!"

After Chai Zhengzheng finished speaking, several personal maids in the room looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

Chai Zhengzheng continued: "If there is any material with patterns or embroidery in these three colors, no matter what color it is, bring it to me and let me have a look!"

"Yes, girl!"

Yunmu and others responded.

soon,

All the materials sent to Qiu Shengyuan were carried out.

In the mother's courtyard,

Mrs. Chai, who was sitting on the chair, looked at Fu Yi who came into the hospital to report back with a smile on her face, and said, "How is it? Does your girl like those materials?"

The stewards of the Chai family silk and satin shop and brocade silk shop standing nearby also had smiles on their faces, waiting for the master's praise.

He brushed his clothes and bowed, with a troubled expression on his face, and said: "Madam, the girl said."

Listening to Fuyi's reply, Mrs. Chai's smile disappeared, she frowned and asked in confusion: "How did this happen today? It shouldn't be!"

Mrs. Chai said, and Fuyi, who was standing below, nodded repeatedly.

After waving her hand, Mrs. Chai said: "Okay! Just do as she said and go look for it again!"

After the stewards and Fu Yi from the silk and satin shop and brocade and silk shop all left the house,

Mrs. Chai on the chair looked at each other and her personal steward mother, and said softly:

"What kind of style does this girl have today? She's so difficult to take care of!"

"If I had known this, I wouldn't have bothered so much to find these materials for her!"

The mother who was in charge on the side said: "Madam, why don't you keep a few horses with good colors? Make clothes for the girl. Maybe one day she changes her mood and she can wear them?"

"Okay! Make a few of the three colors!"

afternoon,

When Chai Zhengzheng woke up, it was still sunny outside.

After an hour,

Dark clouds drifting from the north covered up the sun that had not yet set, and the sky became dark.

Quyuan Street,

Yong Yi Hou Mansion,

In the study room of Xu Zaijing’s courtyard,

Looking up at the darkening sky outside the room, Xu Zaijing, who was behind the desk, washed the brush in his hand in the brush wash and put it aside.

The handwriting on the homework on the desk was not dry yet. After pressing it down with a paperweight, Xu Zaijing stretched and walked to the fish tank.

Xu Zaijing's mind was empty, he sprinkled a few pinches of fish food and looked at the fish swimming in the big white fish tank.

At the door of the study, Hua Xiang opened the door and said:

"Young Master, there is news from the Second Sect that the second young master of the Zheng family has returned to Beijing. In the evening, I invite you and several young masters from other families to go to Pan Tower to talk."

Xu Zaijing, who was standing in front of the fish tank, nodded, glanced outside, and said, "Well! Brother Zheng really knows how to choose the right time."

The cloudy sky and dim light in the afternoon are really not a good time to study.

"Then, sir, will you take a car or ride a horse?"

Hua Xiang asked.

Xu Zaijing patted the fish food crumbs on his hand and said, "Take the car. All three of you come with me!"

Hearing this, Hua Xiang showed a smile on her face and bowed: "Yes, young master."

After getting dressed,

Xu Zaijing and three female envoys got into the large carriage, with Qingyun riding beside him.

Exiting the gate of the Marquis Mansion,

The carriage walked along Quyuan Street for a while,

The sound of gongs and drums came from outside the carriage, and there were also shouts of 'driving away evil spirits' and 'asking for reward money'.

Listening to the noise outside,

Qingcao, who was sitting on the side of the carriage, opened the curtain and looked at the people on the street outside, holding drums and gongs, wearing masks and dressed in different costumes, and smiled, "Master, it's Chu Zhan and the others."

"Do you want a reward for hunting night foxes?"

With that said, Qingcao and Yun Xianghua took out a few strings of copper coins from their purses and threw them out.

The boys who followed Chu Zhan quickly picked up the copper coins.

Chu Zhan raised the mask to his forehead, smiled and held his hands towards Qingcao and others in the carriage: "Thank you to the three sisters! Thank you to the fifth master!"

Xu Zaijing in the carriage smiled and nodded.

Qingyun on the side said: "Chu Zhan, go back early today. You will go to Yichun Lane with me tomorrow!"

"I know, Brother Qingyun!"

As he spoke, Chu Zhan bowed again, put on his mask, and led others to continue beating gongs and drums, beating night beards along the street.

After leaving Quyuan Street,

Walking on the way to Panlou,

Although the sky is dark on this cloudy day and the body feels much colder than when there is sunshine, it does not prevent the people in the capital from doing business.

The sounds of various hawkers on the roadside were heard in the carriage from time to time.

Qingcao and the other three female envoys also lifted the car curtains from time to time to look outside.

Moreover, when the car curtains were lifted once, the cool afternoon breeze blew in, which chilled the cheeks of the three female envoys, but they still enjoyed it.

Xu Zaijing was sitting in the middle of the carriage. Following the gap in the curtains that Yun Xiang had opened, he saw an old man setting up a stall with his children on the roadside and said, "Qingyun! Buy some good sugar cane and take it with you."

"Yes, sir!"

roadside,

Seeing the well-dressed Qingyun riding a horse from the expensive carriage, the old man selling sugar cane immediately smiled and held his hands in his hands, saying: "This guest, I want sugar cane. I got this sugar cane from..."

Qingyun smiled, dismounted and said, "Old man, cut off a section first and let me have a taste."

After a while,

"Indeed."

Qingyun spat out the sugarcane bagasse and walked towards the parked carriage with a troubled expression. After passing a few small pieces of sugarcane to Qingcao through the window, he said: "Sir, I tasted it, and it's a little better than sending it to the south." Sweet at home.”

Qingcao and the other three female envoys looked at the street. After each tasted a small piece, Yun Xiang said with a smile: "Brother Qingyun, it's actually not bad. It's quite sweet."

Xu Zaijing, who was chewing pieces of sugar cane, nodded: "Take it, let them pick it when they get to Panlou."

"Yes, sir."

After Qingyun finished speaking, he walked back to the old man's place, bargained for a while, and handed a small piece of silver to the old man.

Subsequently,

The old man tied the two large bundles of sugar cane and carried them with a stick, and led the children to follow the carriage.

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

in the carriage,

Seeing this scene, Yun Xiang turned back and glanced at Xu Zaijing: "Young Master."

Xu Zaijing smiled and said nothing.

Outside the carriage, Qingyun, who had not yet mounted his horse, had already spoken: "Old man, stop carrying things and give them to me!"

As he spoke, Qingyun put two bundles of heavy sugar cane in one hand and placed them where the coachman was sitting in the surprised eyes of the old man.

The Xu family's carriages and horses have already left here.

The vendors who also set up stalls on the street looked at the old man with the child with some envy in their eyes and said: "Uncle Zhang, you can go back early today, so you don't have to suffer the cold with your child."

The old man smiled and cupped his hands, picked up the stick for carrying sugar cane, glanced at the carriages and horses in the distance, and then walked towards home with the cold and runny child.

Xu Zaijing arrived at Panlouzheng Street with his carriage and horse.

The sky is getting darker and darker,

Compared to the road,

Panlouzheng Street is a lot more lively, and there are many more vendors on both sides of the road than in other places.

The main shops and restaurants on both sides of the street have hung lanterns at this time, the private rooms along the street are lit by candlelight, and the sound of silk and bamboo pipe music comes from the buildings on both sides.

After Qingyun took the bundles of sugar cane aside,

Xu Zaijing then walked out of the carriage with the female envoy.

Brother Min, the tea and wine doctor who was standing at the door to greet Xu Zaijing and Qingyun, hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and cupped his hands: "Brother Yin family, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

After saying that,

Brother Min bowed towards Xu Zaijing and said, "I've seen Wu Lang! Wu Lang, please come in."

Xu Zaijing smiled and nodded, and entered the Pan Building through the cotton curtain that the clerk at the door opened with a smile.

Qingyun, who was following behind, smiled and patted Brother Min on the shoulder, pointed to the two bundles of sugar cane behind and said a few words.

"Brother Yin, don't worry, the things will be delivered immediately."

"Hard work." Qingyun smiled.

Xu Zaijing entered the building,

There are many lanterns lit inside the building, and the light is much brighter than outside.

The shopkeeper on the first floor walked quickly towards this side, bowed to Xu Zaijing and said, "Wu Lang, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

"Shopkeeper Ran, I haven't seen you for a long time." Xu Zaijing nodded.

Shopkeeper Ran was overjoyed, stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile: "Hey! You still remember the villain! You can invite me upstairs. Brother Zheng's private room is on the third floor."

When walking towards the stairs,

Many people in the lobby on the first floor looked towards Xu Zaijing.

The reason for looking at it is because Xu Zaijing is quite tall and the cloak he is wearing was given by the queen.

One look at the appearance showed that Xu Zaijing was not an ordinary rich man from Bianjing. Moreover, Xu Zaijing was very impressive, and he was followed by a well-dressed Qingyun and three female envoys.

Watching Xu Zaijing and his party walking upstairs.

From time to time, guests eating on the first floor would grab the waiter.

In front of a table,

A waiter put down the dishes on the tray, looked at the guests asking questions on the table, and said with a smile:

"Oh? Sir, what are you asking about this guy who went upstairs? To be honest, he is a frequent visitor to Pan Lou, Wu Lang from the Xu family of Yongyi Marquis Mansion."

"Hiss! It's actually this guy in front of you. It's better to see than hear a hundred times!" The guest nodded.

"Sir, what you are talking about is that the dozen or so warriors who were famous in the past were over there." The waiter pointed to a place on the first floor and continued: "This young man was killed by himself. Every one of them will be crippled!"

The guest at the table leaned over and looked at where the waiter was pointing, and said doubtfully: "Just now, I saw that this guy is not very old!"

"Sir, have you been in Bianjing not long ago?" Seeing the guest nodding, the waiter said: "I remember it was the Lantern Festival lantern viewing a few years ago. This young man was not very old, so he took action."

The third floor of Pan Building,

Shopkeeper Ran, who guided Xu Zaijing and others to the door of the private room, had already left and went downstairs.

"Ta-ta."

Xu Zaijing stood at the door and knocked lightly on the door a few times.

The door opens,

Zhique, who opened the door behind the screen in the private room, looked at Xu Zaijing at the door, bowed and then turned around and said: "Master, Wu Lang is here!"

"Brother Jing is here?"

Gu Tingye's voice sounded.

A figure walked out in front of the screen. It was not Gu Tingye, but Zheng Xiao with a smile on his face.

"Bang bang bang bang."

Zheng Xiao stepped forward, hugged Xu Zaijing, and patted Xu Zaijing's back affectionately.

After the two separated, Zheng Xiao said: "Brother Jing, come in."

Xu Zaijing untied his cloak and handed it to Qingcao, and said with a smile: "Brother Zheng, we haven't seen each other for less than a month, why are you so enthusiastic!"

Liang Han in the private room said: "Brother Jing, Brother Zheng is always in high spirits during happy events. Did you also photograph me like this when I came here?"

Xu Zaijing looked at Zheng Xiao and asked doubtfully: "What happy event?"

Zheng Xiao waved his hand towards Liang Han and said, "Go, go, Liulang, why are you making fools of yourself? There's nothing wrong with you."

Looking at Xu Zaijing's eyes, Liang Han said with a smile: "Brother Jing, on the day Brother Zheng returned to Beijing, in addition to returning to the Zheng family, he also went to visit the Zhang family! My mother said that the British father-in-law was interested."

"Liu Lang, shut up!" Zheng Xiao shouted with some embarrassment on his face.

"Okay, little brother, stop talking!"

After hearing this, Xu Zaijing looked at Zheng Xiao with a smile and said, "Could it be that the two families are going to have a fight?"

The marriage proposal is the first step in discussing marriage.

Zheng Xiao looked a little embarrassed and waved his hands, "No way. It's still early! The British father-in-law was just joking with my sister-in-law."

At this time, Zheng Xiao's personal entourage said at the door: "Sir, the young master is downstairs."

"Okay, I'll go greet you."

As he spoke, Zheng Xiao walked outside.

Xu Zaijing sat on his seat, looked at Gu Tingye beside him by candlelight, and said, "Erlang, you came early today."

After Gu Tingye squeezed out a smile, he twitched the corner of his mouth for some unknown reason.

"What's wrong with this?"

Xu Zaijing said doubtfully.

Gu Tingye looked embarrassed and said, "Brother Jing, stop asking."

As he spoke, Gu Tingye bared his teeth and moved his shoulders.

Xu Zaijing frowned at Gu Tingye's movements and said, "Injured?"

Gu Tingye was stunned and nodded slightly.

Xu Zaijing whispered: "What did you do? If you don't deal with those people in Beijing, they shouldn't be able to hurt you in a fight!"

Thinking of Gu Tingye's love for his own dragon colt, Xu Zaijing rolled his eyes and said hesitantly: "Erlang, you won't do it because of the dragon colt I promised to Brother Xing."

Gu Tingye glared: "Brother Jing, you! Am I that kind of person? Brother Xing, that's my nephew, how could I."

Xu Zaijing: "Then why are you doing this?"

Gu Tingye pursed his lips and said with some shame: "Father said that I am addicted to women."

Hearing this,

Xu Zaijing looked around the room, and sure enough he did not see the figure of Gu Tingye's personal envoy Qiuniang.

After looking at Gu Tingye's tired expression under the candlelight, Xu Zaijing shook his head and said, "Erlang, you have to control this."
