Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

"Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Let's memorize a poem related to it before going to school today. Miss Six, come first."

After hearing Zhuang Xuexue's words, Mo Lan, who was eager to give it a try, stopped smiling.

Ru Lan was stunned by this sentence.

Minglan stood up, with a feeling on her face that she had hit the target. She glanced at the courtyard outside the lecture hall and began to shake her head. A clear voice came:

"The crow in the white tree in the atrium"

"I wonder who Qiu Siluo belongs to, Xiaowu. I didn't expect that my cousin Minglan, who is not very old, actually knows this poem."

On the bustling street,

Xu Zaijing rode on Liju and nodded: "The little girl is very clever! Second brother, the new wine flag of Yuxianzheng Store is still hanging, I think there is still new wine."

"Let's go, it's just noon, there are really so many people who have sold out their drinks and removed their wine flags early."

Seeing the two people riding tall horses, the waiter at the door hurriedly came up to greet them: "Two distinguished guests, please come inside."

Not only the waiter at the door of the store saw it.

On the second floor, someone saw the two people riding horses, especially Xu Zaijing, through the window. They turned around angrily and walked out.

"You two gentlemen, the wine upstairs is more expensive, please."

"Second brother, let's go to Li He's house later to buy some fruits or something. This crab is very fat."

As Xu Zaijing and his brother went up to the second floor, they saw the young man glaring at Xu Zaijing.

"Mukuro, why do you look at me like this?"

"Brother Jing, you still ask me, brother, I took you to such a nice place, but you actually told my mother! I was punished by the family!"

Zai Zhang said: "Xiao Wu, where did you and Liu Lang go?"

"Second brother, it's okay, it's okay. You go buy a drink first, and I'll have a few words with Rokuro."

As Xu Zaijing spoke, he led Liang Han to the side of the stairs and said, "No wonder I haven't seen you for so long. Wasn't it nice when I went back that day?"

Liang Han compared the length of the bamboo board with his hands and said, "Brother Jing, I was sleeping! My mother beat me alive with such a long trick!"

"Then use your little head, what's the benefit of me snitching?"

"ah?"

Liang Han thought for a moment and shook his head:

"No. But the brothers who went with us have been there several times and nothing has ever happened to them!"

Xu Zaijing was also stunned when he heard this. Yes, he just went there by himself.

Suddenly,

Xu Zaijing thought of Zhaomeifeng. He had said before that his mission to Yangzhou was no less important than restoring the Southeast Imperial City Division to check and fill in the gaps for Xu Zaijing.

Moreover, after Xu Zaijing asked his family to deliver the five carts of things he brought back from Yangzhou to the palace, he returned more than half of them.

Imperial City Division!

In this way, Liang Han's beating seemed to have something to do with him.

So Xu Zaijing patted Liang Han on the shoulder and said:

"Rokuro, it was my negligence. Today, I asked the servant to give you some good things, as my brother's apology."

"Brother, I don't want that thing! Hehe, I just heard Brother Jing say he wanted to buy crabs? Qiao Jiu! Come out quickly!"

After Liang Han shouted, six or seven young men came out of the small room on the second floor.

When they came behind Liang Han, they all raised their hands in salute when they saw Xu Zaijing.

"Brother Jing, you want to buy crabs? Don't buy them! I'll ask the shop to deliver them to you." After hearing Qiao Jiulang's words, the boy beside him handed over his hands and ran downstairs.

Xu Zaijing smiled and nodded: "Okay, thank you Jiulang."

Qiao Jiulang: "Brother Jing, there is no need to be polite to my younger brother, hehe!"

Qiao Jiu smiled and squeezed Liang Han, and Liang Han said knowingly:

"I wonder when Brother Jing will have time to go to the polo field to play? Recently, you and the brothers from the Zhang and Zheng families have been away, and Han Wulang and his gang have made a big splash."

After hearing Liang Han's words, the noble young men around them nodded in agreement:

"It's no fun watching them win!"

"that is!"

"Neither the Huyan family nor the Bao family have ever beaten him!"

Xu Zaijing nodded when he heard this.

Liang Han continued:

"Brother Jing! He, Lu Sanlang and the others have won twenty games in a row and have been dominating the wooden stalls for half a month! Everyone who enters my polo field can see it!"

"Yes! So majestic!"

"We can't even hold our heads up!"

Xu Zaijing looked at them and said, "Is this a big deal?"

Liang Han, Qiao Jiu and the other teenagers looked at each other, and everyone's eyes were filled with excitement!

This is Brother Jing’s desire to win!

This is the time to go to the polo field to destroy the majesty of Han Wulang and Lu Sanlang!

It was Qiao Jiulang who cupped his hands and said, "Brother Jing, if you and the brothers from the Zhang family and the Zheng family take action, you will definitely be more popular!"

"Yes Yes!"

"Yes! I still remember Brother Jing's heroic appearance years ago!"

"I agree with what Kuro said!"

Xu Zaijing looked at Liang Han with a smile and asked again:

"Rokuro, is this a big deal?"

Liang Han stretched out four fingers:

"Brother Jing, why isn't this big? Feiyuntai knew they were going, so they cut the price by 40%!"

"Tch! Rokuro, why don't you understand what Brother Jing means? What Brother Jing means is that winning twenty games in a row counts as a goal!"

"40% off the price is a bird!"

"Brother Jing, you still dare to think! Cut the price by 50%!"

After Qiao Jiulang on the side finished speaking, several noble young men nodded in agreement.

"Brother Jing has defeated the barbarians of Bei Liao. How can you be so cowardly?"

Liang Han seemed to have realized something, looking at Xu Zaijing with longing in his eyes.

Xu Zaijing looked at them and shook his head.

"Ah? Brother Jing, what do you mean by shaking your head? Do you want Feiyuntai?"

The young people looked in disbelief: "Wow! I am so ashamed of myself!"

Xu Zaijing smiled and said:

"Rokuro, Kuro, and the other brothers, no matter how great the limelight is, can it compare to the limelight of my brother-in-law?"

Hearing Xu Zaijing's words, Liang Han was stunned, frowned and looked at each other with Qiao Jiu.

‘Brother-in-law Jing? ’

At this time, Xu Zaizhang walked out from the second floor and said:

"Xiaowu, let's go."

Xu Zaijing patted Liang Han's shoulder and Qiao Jiu's arm: "Thank you."

After saying that, Xu Zaijing and Zai Zhang left Yuxian Zhengdian.

On the second floor of Yuxian Zhengdian,

"Who is Brother Jing's brother-in-law?" one of the noble young men asked.

"Brother Gu Jiayu of Ningyuan Marquis Mansion." After speaking, Liang Liulang turned around and entered the small room.

"Kuro, I think winning twenty games in a row is a big deal!"

"."

Qiao Jiulang pushed the young man who spoke and said, "Go in!"

In the small room,

Looking at the scenery on the street outside the window, Qiao Jiulang came to Liang Han: "There was an uproar in Bianjing that day."

"Yes, I don't know how many teams went through Yujie to announce the good news to the Marquis' Mansion in Xingguofang."

"What Brother Jing means is that he is concentrating on studying?"

"Let us not be obsessed with these things. Alas! Let's go home!"

Qiao Jiu: "It's gone, it's gone! Everyone goes back to his home!"

The teenagers got on their carriages and left here.

On the way home,

Liang Han was sitting in the carriage thinking about the banquet at Ningyuan Hou Mansion that day.

His fathers, Marquis Liang and Marquis Gu, had always been colleagues in the army and were both nobles in the capital, so they were also invited that day.

Gu Hou, who has always been known for his majesty, could not hide his smile at the door, joking with others and laughing heartily.

The children of the fourth and fifth houses of the Gu family, who have always been unbearable, are also proud of Yourong.

Liang Han's eldest brother, who was older than him, had succeeded in the imperial examination. He had always been arrogant in the Liang family and was looked down upon by everyone. However, when he saw Brother Yu in the Gu family, he looked convinced.

Princess Pingning, who had always been raised in the palace with great dignity by the Duke of Qi, showed a rare gentle smile when she saw Brother Yu. There was also a strong sense of envy in her smile. Her son had a much better status than Liang Han. Qi Heng looked at Brother Yu with admiration.

The other ordinary children of the Duke's family always behaved respectfully when they saw Brother Yu, regardless of his age or whether he was an official.

"Why didn't I think about how big the limelight would be at that time?"

Yongchang Houfu,

Mrs. Wu returned home from outside the mansion. Today she went to Hou Sha's house in Zhongshan to help people see her children.

The children of the Sha family had agreed on their marriage before.

As a result, the children in the family got into trouble and almost ruined the marriage.

As soon as he got off the carriage, his mother, the Liang family's housekeeper, greeted him at the side of the carriage.

"Madam, Rokuro has been depressed since he came back."

"Wasn't it better before? What's wrong? Have you asked the boy?"

"After asking, the boy said that Liulang went to Yuxian Zhengdian after school and said that he met Brother Xu Jiajing. After Brother Xu Jiajing left, Liulang became depressed."

Mrs. Wu took off her cloak and put it in the hands of the female servant: "I don't think I'm overestimating my abilities. I think I was looking for trouble and was beaten by Brother Jing. Let's go and have a look."

Soon, Mrs. Wu arrived at Liang Han’s yard.

When she entered the house, her eyes were full of surprise, because several outstanding-looking maids were actually standing outside the door.

Seeing Mrs. Wu, everyone hurriedly saluted.

Entering the study room, Mrs. Wu saw the young Liang Han sitting blankly at the table.

"Brother Han?"

"Mother."

"What's wrong? Brother Jing bullied you?"

Liang Han shook his head.

Mrs. Wu had never seen Liang Han like this before, which made her a little worried. She put her arms around Liang Han and said:

"Brother Han, what are you thinking about? Talk to mother."

"Mom, I'm thinking of something to attract the limelight."

When Mrs. Wu heard this, she rolled her eyes and threw her eyes at the beam. She was about to throw her hands away and teach Liang Han a lesson when she suddenly heard:

"Mom, Brother Yu ranked first in the second class of the palace examination before. Didn't he make a huge splash?"

Mrs. Wu suddenly stopped moving. After her thoughts suddenly changed, she said to Liang Han, "Yes, who wouldn't envy Gu Hou in Bianjing back then? It's not like you haven't seen Princess Pingning's appearance."

"Yeah! Remember, kid! I also want to be in such limelight!"

"My son is so ambitious, how did he think of this?"

"Mom, this afternoon."

Mrs. Wu listened to Liang Han's story and looked at the black ink in the inkstone on the table and the red cinnabar next to the inkstone.

"Rokuro, if you want to be in the limelight, my mother supports you! But you can't be too ambitious!"

Looking at Liang Han's confused eyes, Mrs. Wu said, "Do you know what time the elder of the Gu family starts studying every day?"

"When I went to Gu's house, Mom asked your father to ask. Every day starts before midnight."

Liang Han turned around and looked at Mrs. Wu in surprise.

Mrs. Wu touched Liang Han's shoulder and said, "It cannot be said that the 'popularity' of the eldest son of the Gu family is unprecedented, but it can be said that it is unprecedented! This does not happen casually."

"But, I believe in my son! Tomorrow my mother will go to Bianjing to find a good bookmaker."

When Mrs. Wu came out of Liang Han's courtyard, she looked happy. A female envoy came to her with a wooden box and said, "Madam, Xu Jiawulang sent someone to deliver something, saying it was for Brother Han." .”

"It's my turn to give gifts to the Xu family. Come, let me take a look."

As she spoke, Mrs. Wu opened the box held by the envoy and saw that inside the box was a piece of mutton-fat jade, carved into the shape of a vase, which was very delicate.

Mrs. Wu looked at it carefully and said, "What a beautiful jade, and a good carver. But why do you want to give it a gift?"

"The boy from the Xu family said it was Wu Lang's apology."

Madam Wu was stunned when she heard the envoy's words.

After writing a post and sending it to the palace.

In the evening, Madam Wu and Marquis Liang were preparing to go to bed in the bedroom.

Marquis Liang looked at his always cheerful eldest lady, but today she frowned: "Madam, what's going on today?"

Mrs. Wu sighed, and after telling what happened this afternoon, she said: "I am really sick at the wrong time! If I go to the dock to pick up the Sheng family, maybe Brother Han can also enroll in the Sheng family book school. !”

"Brother Xu's words are only for Liulang's good! I have to appreciate him for giving Liulang some ambitions."

"Of course I know."

"I had heard that Doctor He's mother was highly skilled in medicine. Unfortunately, her daughter-in-law was seriously ill and left Beijing early."

"well"

The Qiao family is a wealthy family in Beijing.

In Qiao's shop, aquatic products are constantly available all year round.

At that time, my ancestors made a fortune by doing Bianjing aquatic products, and they also spent 20,000 yuan to marry a daughter of the clan who was raised in a nursing home and had a side bloodline to become the eldest daughter of the Qiao family.

But I didn't expect that decades ago, there would be an emperor in the lineage of this clan daughter. Although the relationship was not very close, he was still a relative of the emperor.

As a result, the Qiao family also rose, and gradually entered the ranks of Bianjing's nobles.

It was also the dukes and earls who came and went.

Because they are both engaged in business, they are closer to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion.

in the yard,

The steward of the Qiao family stood in front of Qiao Jiu and said: "Jiulang, after the things were delivered to the Hou Mansion, Wulang of the Xu family ordered another bucket of crabs and had them delivered to the Sheng family in Jiying Lane. Before leaving, he gave this to the villain. .”

Qiao Jiu took the wooden box and looked at the exquisite jade carvings of a pair of crabs inside, and was slightly stunned.

The steward waved and left the yard.

This is naturally a thank you gift from the Xu family.

The crabs delivered to Xu's house this afternoon only cost a hundred guan. The pair of jade carvings in this wooden box are single. If there is no one on the market that costs 200 guan, don't open your mouth.

Thinking about Xu Zaijing's words in the afternoon, Qiao Jiu did not fall into Liang Han's trap. She closed the wooden box, looked at the bright moon in the sky and said:

"Alas! But there are many scholars, and how many are as good as the rich man of the Gu family!"

August 15th, Mid-Autumn Festival.

A three-story wooden building in Yongyihou's mansion was renovated early.

The Xu family was upstairs admiring the moon and tasting crabs. Sun and Anmei, who usually do not drink alcohol, also drank a few glasses of fruit wine.

Looking at the eldest grandson in the nurse's arms at the table, Xu Minghua and his three sons drank too much without knowing it, and were helped back to the mother's house by Xu Zaijing alone.

Before Xu Zaijing returned to his yard, he went to the room next to the stables to have a few drinks with his master and Uncle Deng.

Now the cotton and corn around Bianjing have begun to be harvested. Because the value is too high, the three princes of Xu, Liang and Gu have to organize patrols to protect the cotton fields.

the next day

It's still dark,

When Xu Zaijing got up early to practice martial arts,

There are still sounds of play in the lantern-lit streets and alleys. These are not the early risers, but the residents who have stayed up all night.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival and until September, Xu Zaijing still went to and from school regularly every day.

In the Shengjia calligraphy school, Xu Zaijing looked at Minglan's calligraphy from time to time and improved a lot.

September 8th, the Double Ninth Festival is approaching.

Mrs. Wu moved pieces of different types of chrysanthemums to the polo field in Jinmingchi, forming a sea of ​​flowers.

In this way, Bianjing dignitaries and officials' family members can climb high and enjoy flowers when they leave the city.

Suddenly, it was hard to find any posts from Mrs. Wu’s family.

I have a bad headache from a cold.

Coughing as soon as I stand up.

Just one chapter today.

I wanted to continue writing, but my situation really didn’t allow it.
