Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

winter morning

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse

On the racecourse of Yongyi Hou Mansion,

Xu Zaijing put away the spear in his hand, looked at Di Jing who was lying softly on the ground, and wondered: "Why is your strength so weak today?"

Hearing this, several soldiers from the Hou Mansion nearby laughed.

"You too, why are you all so soft-footed?"

After Xu Zaijing continued to ask questions, some of the soldiers lowered their heads, while others looked away shyly.

Qingyun on the side said:

"Sir, Brother Di was promoted yesterday and they all went to Pan Tower to celebrate. I heard that Brother Di was deprived of virginity by the leader of Qiyun Tower."

"Hahaha"

"Puff"

"Hey hey hey"

Di Jing, who was lying on the ground, stood up and said, "Ye Fang, are you still laughing? You drank some wine yesterday, and your eyes were like tearing off the girl's bra."

"It's not my first time! I'm not a virgin!"

"Bah! You don't dare to hug this girl's waist without drinking! You only dare to satisfy your eyes!"

"And you, Feng Dabao, have you not been exposed?"

Feng Dabao, a stout man, held up his round shield, rubbed the shield on his head with the edge, and smiled.

"Ha ha ha ha"

Looking at the laughing people, Zhu Qinghu on the side just glanced at them and twitched his lips.

Xu Zaijing shook his head and said with a smile: "Then, everyone should rest first."

"Yes, sir."

After saying that, Xu Zaijing walked to the weapon rack aside, took a long-handled knife from it, and slowly waved it with familiar moves, and then his movements became faster and faster.

Di Jing looked at the long-handled knife that was difficult to hold and was too heavy. It was swung like a wooden pole in Xu Zaijing's hand.

Di Jing said softly: "Colonel Lieutenant, is this your master's training with the horse-cutting sword?"

Zhu Qinghu nodded.

As he spoke, Xu Zaijing waved his long knife and walked forward. Beside the racecourse, there were a dozen wooden stakes as thick as horse legs inserted into the ground.

The orientation of the wooden piles is irregular, and they have been exposed to the sun and are very hard.

The wooden pile seemed to have turned into thatch, and pieces of wood the size of horseshoes were chipped away from the wooden pile by Xu Zaijing with his knife.

Everyone looked at this scene in a daze. If they encounter such a heavy-armed god who is light-footed and light-footed on the battlefield, no matter how powerful a cavalryman you are, you can't stop the result of having the horse's legs chopped off.

"Young Master, what a pity for him! If I had such ability, I would be happy to be promoted to a higher rank!"

Listening to Ye Fang's words, Feng Dabao nodded and then staggered.

"Let's go back."

After Zhu Qinghu finished speaking, he walked towards the wing.

Feng Dabao, who was behind, walked a few steps quickly and came to him and said, "Colonel Lieutenant, how do you compare to the young master from the group of people from Bai Gao Kingdom you met last night?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qinghu said:

"I don't know this, because we haven't found out Brother Jing's background, but you can't beat any of the Baigao people in Pan's building last night, especially when they are followed by the Ministry of Rites. Official."

As Feng Dabao walked, he thought of what happened last night.

After drinking in Panlou, he happened to leave the private room. When he saw a group of people approaching, he stepped aside specifically, but was still hit.

Being so rude made him a little angry and wanted to grab the man's collar, but the man opened it with one hand. Just when he was about to punch, Zhu Qinghu grabbed him from behind and shook his head at him and said:

"Follow the officials of the Ministry of Rites, they are foreigners."

After hearing Zhu Qinghu's words, Feng Dabao no longer struggled with the matter. Zhu Qinghu accompanied him to relieve himself, and the rest were filled with wonderful memories with the girls.

Zhu Qinghu walked forward,

Thinking back on what happened last night,

Because of the sudden warning intuition in Pan Lou, Zhu Qinghu not only paid more attention to himself, but also to the others.

Therefore, he followed the drunk Feng Dabao out of the house and grabbed Feng Dabao's fist in time.

Zhu Qinghu felt something was wrong at first glance at the group of people Feng Dabao came into contact with, because he seemed to have met the same kind!

The kind that has gone through battles;

Those who have seen big scenes;

Having experienced a narrow escape from death;

His heart is full of disregard for life and he is extremely confident that he can kill any opponent of his kind.

Moreover, there was more than one, there were at least four or five like this in that group of people.

If Feng Dabao really punches, the fruit will definitely not taste good.

Recalling the cold feeling on the back of his neck when those people looked at him, Zhu Qinghu also found the source of his intuitive warning.

With this group of people following him and the officials from the Ministry of Etiquette accompanying him, he seemed to be no small person.

But in Bianjing, they should not dare to do anything.

After thinking about it,

Zhu Qinghu thought about last night's song again.

'A song about my father might be worth listening to.'

Turn around,

Di Jing was transferred to the left class in front of the palace and became a palace guard.

On the fourth day, Di Jing took a rest and came to the Hou Mansion to express her gratitude to her mistress Sun.

According to what I heard, it was said that Di Jing joined the imperial guards in the morning, but because he was neither a noble nor an official, and had tattoos on his face, he was excluded and arranged to patrol at night for ten days.

Even if you measure him, he won't be able to make any waves.

The night in the cold winter was bitingly cold, and no one wanted to go out on patrol.

However, in the afternoon, an ordinary rabbit skin scarf was given to him by the palace. It was sent to him by the junior chamberlain in the Queen's Palace.

As a result, when Di Jing was preparing to go to work in the evening, her immediate boss took her to drink and sent someone else.

Di Jing is not stupid. How could the palace give something to a nobody like him for no reason?

After some inquiries, Di Jing found out that it was because she was born in Yongyi Hou's personal soldiers, and the Queen Cao's family was on good terms with the natal family of Sun, the mistress of Yongyi Hou's family.

He thought it was thanks to Sun's blessing, so he came here to express his gratitude.

It was said that her mother was enjoying the adoring gazes of her two daughters-in-law across the screen. She smiled and accepted Di Jing's kneel down without saying a word.

"Captain Di, when you return to the team, you must remember the sacrifices of your colleagues who worked the night shift!"

After hearing Sun's words of advice, Di Jing was stunned and bowed to thank her again.

When Di Jing said goodbye, she was rewarded with many good things.

(Of course, what the Xu family didn’t know was that after returning to the Imperial Guard, Di Jing took the initiative to take over the night shift for the colleague named Zhang Huaice who had helped him on the night guard a few days ago.)

The above are all reported by the second sister An Mei who is now playing in Xu Zaijing's yard when she has nothing to do.

Seeing Xu Zaijing put on the cloak, An Mei said at the side: "Xiao Wu, do you want to go out?"

"Sister, if you have nothing to do, I have to do my homework."

"Then why are you wearing such thick clothes?"

Xu Zaijing opened the door of the study room, feeling the coldness inside. An Mei curled her lips at Xu Zaijing and said, "Xiao Wu, do you have that cute raccoon slave pattern there?"

"Sister, what do you want to do?"

"The fifth sister of the British Crown Prince wanted to embroider a unique raccoon slave pattern on the saddle pads of her horses, but she couldn't find one that was unique, so I couldn't find it here."

"Is there any benefit?"

"You want benefits from your sister?"

"That brother has no idea in his mind."

With that said, Xu Zaijing was about to walk towards the study.

"Yes! Sister, go and order a rhinoceros horn ring for you!"

"His! Inspiration has come, Qingcao, hurry up! Let my sister make a sign, otherwise the inspiration will run away!"

Half a quarter of an hour later, Xu Anmei held two pieces of paper in her hand and left Xu Zaijing's yard with satisfaction.

Yichun Lane,

There are several families in the alley, and they are the ones who make the best New Year pictures, colorful lanterns and peach charms from Bianjing.

You can't buy these things at the stalls, because these good things have been reserved early by the stewards of Bianjing's long-standing noble officials.

Such scraps and corners are not expensive things.

In the eyes of caring people, it also shows the heritage of the mansion.

Therefore, even if it is far away, there is still someone to make the arrangements.

These days, at the end of the year, many female envoys from Bianjing City are sent here to get things.

Just arrived (after 1pm)

Deep in this Yichun Lane,

A small courtyard,

Yang Luoyou stood at the door of the courtyard:

"Thank you."

"Hard."

"Come back tomorrow."

As she spoke, she put the strings of copper coins in the hands of the musicians. Most of the musicians who left were old and shabby. After taking the money, they all bowed and thanked them.

After everyone left, Yang Luoyou looked at the little girl in the yard and smiled.

"Let's go to Pan Tower."

In the past few days, Viscount Zhu Qinghu of Bianjing greeted Pan Lou, and when the waiter helped her out, it can be said that she was valued by Viscount Zhu.

Zhu Qinghu is not a luxury person,

But in the eyes of those foreign businessmen, it is still a bit intimidating.

Although not many people still listened to her playing music, it saved her a lot of trouble.

Because the song at the beginning of this line is a multi-instrumental ensemble. So Zhu Qinghu gave her some money, hoping to hear her composition "Entrapment Song" as soon as possible.

When Yang Luoyou carried Pipa and the little girl out of the door and turned around to lock the courtyard door, a voice came:

"Ms. Yang, are you going to Pan Lou?"

Yang Luoyou hurriedly turned around, saw the person coming clearly and bowed before saying, "I have seen Viscount Zhu. Yes, I am going to go."

"Then, let's go together."

With that said, Zhu Qinghu got off the horse and led Ma and Yang Luoyou out of the alley.

After walking a few steps, Zhu Qinghu looked at the little girl who was following suit and smiled and said: "Xiao Zhiyue, come here, I will carry you on the horse."

When the little girl heard this, she looked at Yang Luoyou with longing.

"This, how to do this."

"Ms. Yang, you just heard about my father and I, so you composed the song. You are so righteous, so what's the harm if I let your beloved disciple sit on the horse for a while?"

Yang Luoyou looked at his sensible disciple and the rare pleading look in her eyes. Yang Luoyou smiled and nodded.

The little girl hurriedly made a detour to Zhu Qinghu, and then he picked her up onto the horse.

"Ms. Yang, regarding that encounter, I forgot to tell you about a person that day. His name is Liu Xiao."

As they talked, the three of them walked together and gradually arrived only a few dozen feet away from the entrance of the alley.

This happens to be the doorway of those houses that make lanterns and New Year paintings.

Seeing Zhu Qinghu, such a strong man and horse, the female servants who came to pick up things from those houses hurriedly gave way to him.

Among the people passing by, a female envoy glanced at Zhuqinghu, surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she stopped. After a slight hesitation, she turned around and followed.

At the entrance of the alley, Yang Luoyou looked at his disciple and said, "Zhiyue, come down, Viscount Zhu is leaving."

The little girl on the horse smiled and nodded.

After Zhu Qinghu took the little girl down, he took it out in his arms, put a banknote in Yang Luoyou's hand and said, "This is for future expenses, please accept it."

Yang Luoyou knelt down and saluted: "Slave, I will accept it now. I will definitely give you a good result."

"Ms. Yang is working hard too, so I'll take my leave."

After saying this, the congratulatory tiger got on his horse and left.

The maid who had just followed turned around and entered the alley.

When I came to the door where the New Year paintings were sold, I whispered a few questions. They were all neighbors, so they naturally knew what Yang Luoyou did.

‘Can play the pipa’

‘Children from the year when we fought with Bai Gao and Bei Liao’

‘Israel’s servant’

‘Pan Lou sells singing’

The maid kept these things in mind and returned to the house after taking the things ordered by the steward at home.

Xishuimen Sun family,

That is, Xu Zaijing's grandma's family. As the Yongyi Hou Mansion became more and more prosperous, the status of the Sun family's children, whether in Bianjing or in the Western Army, became much higher.

With the Xu family's cotton and corn seeds, the value of what the Sun family's farm produces is many times higher than the food grown before.

Therefore, the Sun family has also bought a lot of female envoys in recent years.

The female envoy who appeared in Yichun Lane was speaking in front of an eldest lady of the Sun family:

"My servant can see clearly that he is our aunt's nephew, Lord Zhu. He is married to Sister Ni, who teaches our sisters how to read."

"You are also smart. I know this, so don't tell anyone about it! Get out first!"

"yes."

The lady sat in the room, thought for a while, then got up and walked outside.

When I came to my mother-in-law's house, there happened to be two sisters-in-law talking to her mother-in-law happily.

Although the Sun Gu family, the ancestor of the Sun family, is not young, seeing the Sun family's prosperous days makes her life more prosperous.

The old man was sitting on the Arhat chair, looking at the frowning daughter-in-law who came in. She smiled and asked, "Qilang's family, what's going on?"

The lady looked at her sister-in-law and told her what she had heard from the envoy.

"Mother-in-law, sister-in-law, neither our family nor the Marquis's family support outsiders. The Ni family girl is still teaching the sisters how to read in our family! This brother of the Zhu family is also under the command of the Marquis, so are we?"

Mrs. Sun asked: "From what your envoy said, does the Zhu family have children?"

"Yes. I guess it was from when he first came to Bianjing."

One of Sun's sisters-in-law said: "I've never heard of this!"

Mrs. Sun frowned and said:

"Go to the Marquis Mansion and tell Shiniang that it is the right time for Marquis Xu to use it now. She must know this kind of thing!"

The application time has passed (after 5 p.m.),

Three Sun family carriages arrived at Quyuan Street.

The steward at the door of Xu's house was frightened when he saw so many Sun family members, and thought something bad had happened to the Sun family.

Soon, the six daughters-in-law of the Sun family at the second gate angrily got off the carriage and entered the mistress's courtyard.

Sun's envoy hurriedly served tea.

Listening to my parents' sisters-in-law talking to each other,

The seven women were chirping, and Anmei on the side was dazzled by what they were hearing.

‘He is a singer’

‘rental yard’

‘The child is not young’

"It's a girl!"

'It's his,'

‘It’s all on the horse’s back and playing with it, how can it not be his? ’

‘Really’

‘Pipa player! ’

Mrs. Sun's face turned serious.

"Snapped!"

Sun slapped the table: "This bastard! Mr. Hou and I don't know anything! We actually have children!"

An Mei, who was holding Li Nu at the side, didn't dare to speak loudly. She could only touch the cat's head and whisper: "My cousin doesn't look like that kind of person!"

"Shi Niang, then you want the Marquis to reprimand you?"

Mrs. Sun frowned and sighed: "We already have children, what's the use of reprimanding? Now let's go and see together. If this woman has evil intentions, we must support Sister Ni!"

"In the past, Lord Zhu's family treated our Sun family brothers well, and his blood cannot be left outside."

"Yes! If your thoughts are not right, let's leave the mother and keep the daughter!"

"Shi Niang, that woman is performing at Pan Tower from afternoon to evening. It's so close to Qiyun Tower. It's hard for us to go there. How about tomorrow?"

Mrs. Sun thought for a while and said, "Okay! Just tomorrow!"

After looking at the sky, Mrs. Sun said, "Sisters-in-law, why not just eat at home today."

"No, let's go home and we have to reply to mother!"
