Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

Money comes out nine times and returns thirteen times."

"Ah? Is there such a good deal?" Wang Ruofu asked with wide eyes.

After passing Datong Gate,

The convoys of two princely houses were walking in the bustling Bianjing city

On the carriage, Mrs. Bai looked at Mrs. Sun with a smile and said, "You, you, I really didn't notice it in the past, but this time you really found a good daughter-in-law!"

Mrs. Sun smiled and said: "Then I have to thank my sister for all the help. I just took a look at the eldest sister of the Sheng family and I was very satisfied! However, there is also an eldest son-in-law who has passed the examination! Alas~"

"You really got the advantage and still acted like a good boy!"

Laughter came from the carriage.

"Sister Wu's body is not feeling well, so she didn't come. Please let me tell you." After Mrs. Sun finished speaking, Mrs. Bai was stunned for a moment and said, "Is she okay?"

"It's okay! Don't worry."

Outside the carriage, Xu Zaizhang glared at Xu Anmei, who opened the curtain and looked at him in the carriage.

Before he could say anything, Xu Zaijing came to his side and knocked his horse's belly gently, tilting his head and looking at him with a smile.

"Xiao Wu, what do you think I'm doing?"

Xu Zaijing smiled slightly and said, "Brother, you are blushing."

"You!" Xu Zaizhang wanted to teach his brother a lesson with a straight face, but he didn't know what he thought of, and his blush became even worse.

Then he became angry from shame,

Xu Zaijing smiled and pulled the reins, avoiding the slap from his second brother.

After slowing down, he and Hu Yanjiong, who followed, patted each other on the shoulders.

"Brother Jing, I heard about what happened on the canal, but I only know a rough idea. After your family is settled, we will go to Fanlou to hold a reception banquet for you and talk to the other family members. .”

Xu Zaijing said: "Okay!"

After hearing Xu Zaijing's answer, Hu Yanjiong rode up to the front and whispered: "Brother Jing, I see that you are a little different from before you left the capital. I heard that you saw blood?"

Xu Zaijing looked surprised and whispered: "Can you see this?"

Hu Yanjiong said: "Hey, my family has cousins ​​in Chuzhou. When they came back, they said they were going to deal with some things for our Hu Yan family."

Xu Zaijing frowned and thought about it for a moment before saying, "Those criminal captains of the navy?"

"Yes. Let's not talk about this anymore. Madam Wu's business at Wu Tower has been extremely good these days. Let's go play polo first and then have fun at Wu Tower."

A few people talked and rode on the road back to Quyuan Street.

Arriving at Xu’s house,

Xu Zaijing immediately went to the stable to see his master.

While feeding the muscular dog with smooth fur with the pieces of meat in his hand, he talked about what happened on the road.

"What happened to the powerful group of soldiers you met in the south of Yangzhou City?" Master Xu Zaijing asked.

"I was taken away by people from the Imperial City Division. After a while, Brother Zhao from the Imperial City Division thanked me for some gadgets because of our cotton armor."

Listening to Xu Zaijing's words, Master's single eye was full of thinking.

After a while, Xu Zaijing’s master shook his head and said, “I don’t want to anymore, come here.”

The master said with a smile on his face: "Just look at it."

Xu Zaijing followed his master and walked a few steps outside the house. He saw a pony following the handsome Liju in the racecourse.

Xu Zaijing whistled, and Li Ju ran over. After sniffing, he rubbed Xu Zaijing's body affectionately.

Next to her was a pony that looked as handsome as Liju. Xu Zaijing rolled into the racecourse and knelt down on one knee and kissed the pony. However, the pony had no feelings for him and tried to break away many times. , but in vain, he was picked up and put down several times by Xu Zaijing before being conquered.

I don't know how many officials from Bianjing left or arrived in Bianliang during the year, and the Sheng family was just one of them.

However, the news that Xu Zaijing, the fifth son of the Xu family who had made a big splash in the first day of the new year, returned to the capital was spread throughout Bianjing's distinguished circles the next day.

At the exact time of the hour (around eight o'clock in the morning)

Liang Han, the sixth son of the Liang family, came to Xu's house on Quyuan Street early in the morning. After meeting with Mrs. Sun, he got a chicken leg and then went to Xu Zaijing's small courtyard.

Seeing Xu Zaijing practicing calligraphy, he didn't bother him. He watched the grass carefully wiping the large fish tank under the vines in the yard.

Looking at the raccoon slave not far away, Liang Liulang handed over the half-eaten chicken leg.

Li Nu glanced at him and ignored him.

After finishing practicing a copybook, Xu Zaijing stretched and walked out of the study. Liang Han put the chicken bones aside and came over: "Brother Jing, when do you have time to go to my polo ground and Wu Tower?"

Xu Zaijing looked at him with a smile and said, "What's wrong? Isn't the reputation of your Wu House already known in Bian Jingdu? Why are you still dragging me along?"

Liang Han scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Brothers, don't you miss you?"

Xu Zaijing didn't say anything. He took the fish food handed over by Qingcao and prepared to feed the fish. Then he counted the fish in the fish tank and looked at the raccoon slave beside him.

Feeling Xu Zaijing's eyes, Li Nu jumped up, climbed up the wall a few times, and ran out of Xu Zaijing's yard.

"Qingcao, next time you see this little beast, beat him out." Xu Zaijing said.

Liang Han looked embarrassed on the side and swallowed his throat when he saw Qing Cao looking at him in confusion.

"Brother Jing, I... I'll tell you the truth."

Arrived just after noon that day.

The young men from the noble officials' families in Bianjing were drinking sweet wine in the small private room of Yuxianzheng Store.

Liang Han, who was at Xu Zaijing's place in the morning, was asking a noble young man in the box: "Didn't you say Rongxian would come here today? Why hasn't he come yet?"

"Yesterday at Qiyun Tower, he wanted to buy wine for Marquis Fuchang's banquet. Why don't we go directly to the Rong family?"

Just as Liang Han was about to say something, Doctor Xiaochajiu from Yuxian Zhengdian hurriedly walked in: "Young masters, Mr. Rong is here."

"This is for you." Liang Han threw a bunch of money into his hand.

"Thank you Rokuro for the reward!"

After speaking, Liang Liulang glanced at the other people in the small room, then turned around and left the small room.

Arriving at the lobby of the main store, Liang Liulang pretended to be surprised and called out: "Brother Rong! Why are you here?"

"Mukuro! I'm just about to buy some good wine."

After the two of them exchanged a few words, Liang Han pretended to be unintentional and said, "Brother Rong, Brother Jing from the Yongyi Hou family has returned to Beijing. He said he was going to play polo the day after tomorrow and also went to my Wu Tower."

Rong Xian's eyes lit up when he heard this and said: "Oh?" Looking at the young Liang Han, Rong Xian's heart moved and said: "I also fought against the Northern Liao barbarians with Brother Jing in the palace before. I miss you very much.”

"Brother Rong, here are two posts. I'll be waiting for you!"

"Rokuro, were we just a bunch of buddies that day?"

"Brother Rong, there will be screens and partitions in the polo field, so it's okay to go to the female relatives." Liang Liulang tried hard to suppress his somewhat excited voice.

"Okay! I will definitely be there then."

Liang Han pretended to pick a drink with Rongxian again, then said goodbye and left the small room.

In the small private room, the young masters made a noise for a while and then dispersed.

At three quarters of the time (around 4 p.m.)

Nan Lecture Hall Lane, which is not far from the palace wall

Rong family

The inner court

Return to Snowyuan

Rong Feiyan was holding small scissors on the table outside, picking out a few flowers, trimming them and placing them in a vase.

The little maid on the side carefully looked at the flower arrangement in the vase with a puzzled face, and whispered to Ningxiang on the side: "Why does this look familiar to me, but I can't think of where I have seen it before?"

Ningxiang also frowned and thought, her eyes lit up and she said, "It looks like an archery target to me. I've seen it before in Mrs. Wu's Wu Tower."

Taking a closer look, there is indeed a red flower in the middle, surrounded by dark or light yellow flowers.

Rong Feiyan listened to the words of the little maid and adjusted the flowers in the vase with a blushing face to make them less like arrow targets.

Then he glanced at the opposite side. On the opposite wall hung a delicate soft bow that was extremely rare in the boudoir. Next to the soft bow hung a quiver, with more than a dozen arrows with white feathers exposed in the quiver.

Looking at Yujian, Rong Feiyan didn't know what he thought of and smiled.

"Sister! Sister!" Rong Xian's noisy voice came over.

Rong Feiyan looked away in panic, while Xi Bu and Ning Xiang hurriedly knelt down and saluted Rong Xian who walked in.

"Brother, how many times have I told you, can you wait until the female envoy reports before you come in!" Hearing his sister's clear voice, Rong Xian's smiling face froze.

Then he said nonchalantly: "Sister, I heard that Liulang of the Liang family gave me two posts."

Before Rong Xian finished speaking, Rong Feiyan frowned and said, "Brother, didn't I tell you! I don't have time to attend those polo parties, tea tasting parties, fragrant clothing parties and so on!"

"Sister, no, me"

"If you keep doing this, I will go to the palace and tell my sister what you have been doing these days!"

Hearing this, Rong Xian's face froze. If his sister found out what he had done, Rong Xian's eyes wandered wildly, and then he swallowed. He didn't know whether he was scared or thought of something else.

In his confused vision, he saw the set of feather arrows on the wall. After looking at it for a few times, he pressed the corners of his mouth that were about to curl up with difficulty and force, and he sighed.

Then he walked to the wall with arrows hanging on it and said, "Oh! I think back to that day on the first day of the Lunar New Year, when me and the boy from Beijing competed with the barbarian from Beiliao and Bai Gao. Thinking about it today is like a dream!"

Rong Feiyan rolled her beautiful eyes at her brother, who was pretending to be serious, and said nothing. She took a pen and wrote on the paper beside the vase: You still have the nerve to do so.

"Today I met Liulang of the Liang family at Yuxian Zhengdian. He said that Wulang of the Xu family had returned to Beijing. Wulang still remembered my heroic appearance that day and invited me to go to Wu Tower to recall my demeanor."

When Rong Feiyan heard Xu Jiawulang, the pen in her hand paused, and she suddenly raised her head to look at Rong Xian. The movement was a bit big, and the hairpin on her head jingled as she shook it.

"Brother, you!"

"Forget it, brother, let's go back first, so as not to make you unhappy and go to the palace to file a complaint against me."

As he spoke, Rongxian shook his head and walked out. With his back to Rong Feiyan, Rongxian glanced back from the corner of his eyes.

"You'll get half of the monthly salary!" Rong Feiyan's voice came, and Rong Xian stopped and said, "Two months!"

"Deal! Give me the post!"

In the evening.

The young men who had gathered with Liang Han at Yuxian Zhengdian scattered around the main stores near Pan Tower in the southeast of the palace.

"The day after tomorrow, there will be a tea gathering at Wu Tower. There is confirmed news that Miss Feiyan from the Rong family will be there. Here is the post!"

"Qiao Jiulang! The Rong family girl hasn't been out for three months. You are talking nonsense!" shouted a son of an official.

"Hehe! Believe it or not, I received the news in Liang Liulang's hands this afternoon!"

Liang Han inherited the advantages of his mother, Mrs. Wu, and was very well-informed and fidelity-minded among the young masters of Bianjing.

"Jiulang! I believe it!" This is the son of Xungui family.

"Chenghui fifty taels." The young man named Qiao Jiulang shouted.

"Here, take this jade pendant! Give me the post!"

Qiao Jiu took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully but did not hand over the post. He smiled and said: "Gao Qilang, don't worry! Your jade pendant is only worth eighty taels."

"Here is the ninety-two redemption ticket. Give it to me, Jiulang!"

There was a bidding war in the store.

On the second day,

Panlou, in the small private room, Liang Han and his companions from yesterday collected the interest and made nearly 500 taels of profit from the nearly twenty posts they distributed.

Then he lightly knocked on the horse's belly and came to Xingguofang, where dignitaries and ministers gathered.

Several posts were sent to the Zhang family of the British Duke, the Zheng family of the Zhongjing Marquis, and the Gu family of the Ningyuan Marquis.
