Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

The sky was gloomy,

making the hall a little dim in the afternoon.

Looking out from the open window,

an autumn breeze blew,

and the branches of the trees in the courtyard swayed.

Under the tree,

a few yellow leaves swirled in the air, and drifted down toward the smooth dark stone road.

The leaves that fell to the ground moved with the autumn wind,

and finally lay on the road with other yellow leaves.

"Tap"

"Tap"

A few drops of cold raindrops hit the leaves and made a slight sound.

Soon the autumn rain and the slight sound became finer.

After a while,

a few more leaves danced with the raindrops in the air and fell on the stone road wet by the raindrops.

The stone road turned bright black after being wet,

and there was a little water on the fallen leaves and the road, which vaguely reflected the gray sky.

At the beginning of the Shen time (after 5 pm)

It was near dusk,

the lanterns were about to be hung,

near the stone road covered with fallen leaves,

the voice of a woman was heard,

under the raindrop-stained skirt, the brocade cloud shoes were revealed stepping on the stone road and fallen leaves,

when people walked not far away,

in the fine autumn rain, they could see two maids holding a paper umbrella together, one of them was holding something.

After going up the steps of the corridor,

the maid put away the paper umbrella,

walked a few steps along the corridor, lowered her head and walked in through the door curtain opened by the little maid.

Compared to the outside,

the room without candles was even darker,

and the room was decorated with precious dark wood,

which made the whole hall seem to blend into the dark darkness.

Only the graceful figure sitting at the table by the window,

wearing a silver-white autumn shirt, became a bright color.

Brighter than the clothes was the face facing the window supported by the tender white palm.

The light outside the window also made her dazed eyes on her fair face more crystal clear.

The maid holding the tray was a little stunned by the beautiful scene.

The maid holding the umbrella just now looked at the dimness in the hall, turned back and said to the little maid at the door: "Why didn't you light the candles?"

"I didn't ask you to light them!"

The girl at the window said softly, and then continued: "Ningxiang, go and light them now!"

Ningxiang, who was holding the umbrella just now, should go to find a fire later.

The maid holding the tray said in slow steps:

"Girl! Today, Concubine Rong sent someone to deliver yam, lotus root and corn! The kitchen will make you this nourishing chestnut, yam and corn stewed chicken soup."

Rong Feiyan in front of the window: "Well! Put it on the table!"

After putting down a soup bowl in slow steps, she walked to Rong Feiyan said, "Miss, this autumn rain is chilly, and it's getting cold in the evening! I'd better close the window!"

Rong Feiyan put down the hand that was supporting her cheek, leaned back, leaned on the cotton doll behind her and said, "Xibu, do you think he has arrived at the camp of Marquis Yongyi now?"

Xibu walked around the table, walked to the window, stretched out his hand to close the window and said, "Miss, he just started from Bianjing on the 12th, and he brought so many carriages. Today is only the 28th, so he shouldn't be able to arrive!"

Rong Feiyan felt the last cool breeze before the window was closed and sighed.

Xibu, who was fixing the window, heard this sigh and looked back at Rong Feiyan: "Miss, although he hasn't arrived, I think he should have completed most of the journey!"

Rong Feiyan: "Yeah!"

While the master and servant were talking,

Ningxiang had already lit a candle with a fire, and then lit the candles under other lanterns with other maids.

When Ningxiang placed a bright candle on the table in front of Rong Feiyan, Xibu just put the lid of the soup bowl aside and handed the spoon to Rong Feiyan.

Xibu continued:

"Miss, I heard that this corn was picked by the wife of the Marquis of Yongyi herself in the farm! After presenting it to the Queen, the Queen gave it to the Queen Consort Rong."

Rong Feiyan scooped the shiny chicken soup in the soup bowl with a spoon, sniffed it and tasted it, and nodded with satisfaction.

After a half-minute of silence,

Xibu put the remaining soup on the tray in front of Rong Feiyan.

After Rong Feiyan finished drinking both bowls of soup, the maid Ningxiang said: "Miss, since you like it so much, I will ask the kitchen to continue making this soup tomorrow!"

Rong Feiyan smiled.

Xibu put the soup bowl back on the tray, picked up the delicate flowered paper on the tray, and handed it to Rong Feiyan who was wiping her mouth with a handkerchief, saying:

"Miss, Double Ninth Festival is approaching, and Madam Wu's invitation has also been delivered."

Rong Feiyan put down her handkerchief, took the flowered paper and looked at it. After thinking for a moment, she said: "Forget it, I won't go this year."

Ningxiang glanced at Xibu who was about to carry the tray to the door, and said: "Miss, the madam said you can go."

Rong Feiyan looked up and looked at Ningxiang in surprise: "What?"

"Miss, the madam said that Xian Ge's marriage will most likely fall to the Dou family of Fuguogong, and Concubine Rong in the palace is also optimistic about this marriage."

"But you know that Xian Ge despises the girls of the Dou family. So, the madam said that you should interact more with the girls of the Dou family and talk more about Xian Ge's advantages."

Rong Feiyan was stunned: "My brother's advantages?"

Ningxiang hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly.

Rong Feiyan: "Then I have to think about it carefully."

As she spoke,

Rong Feiyan took out a piece of paper from the table in front of her.

Seeing her daughter's actions, Ningxiang hurriedly began to grind ink.

Half an hour later,

Rong Feiyan took the brush and wiped it in the inkstone.

"."

The candle on the table burned out by half.

Next to them, Ningxiang and Xibu covered their mouths and yawned.

Rong Feiyan supported her beautiful chin with both hands. The paper in front of her that recorded her brother's merits was still blank.

After yawning, Xinbu rubbed his eyes and said, "Girl, please think about it tomorrow!"

Rong Feiyan put down his hands and nodded in resignation.

Just when he was about to stand up, Rong Feiyan stopped and sat back down.

"Girl, did you think of something?"

Xi Bu asked in surprise.

Rong Feiyan nodded, picked up the brush and wrote a few words on the paper, then put down the brush and got up and walked towards the bedroom.

The two female envoys looked over and saw the words 'Friends with Xu Jiawulang' and 'On time duty'.

You hour (after 6 p.m.)

It's getting dark,

The autumn rain is still falling,

Chai family,

Autumn Sound Garden,

Several bright lanterns under five or six umbrellas reflected on the ground.

The raindrops around the lantern were illuminated and fell downwards like points of light.

After walking for a while,

The light spots disappeared, but they all entered the corridor.

Paper umbrellas were placed on the porch.

Everyone entered the hall.

Under the bright candlelight,

The shoes and skirts of everyone in the photo were inevitably stained with water stains.

Passing through two doors,

The cool breath was locked outside the room,

Chai Zhengzheng, who was walking on the soft carpet, opened his arms very casually.

Behind her, the first-class female servant Yun Mu helped her take off her cloak and gown with ease.

The first-class female servant Fuyi skillfully untied the Baidu skirt around Chai Zhengzheng's waist and put away the Baidu skirt that was wet at the corners.

Other female servants placed a copper basin with warm water and indoor shoes in front of Chai Zhengzheng.

When the second-class maid Zi Teng was about to wash the feet of Chai Zhengzheng who was sitting down,

Chai Zhengzheng shook his head and said, "Just wipe it and wash it after you go to bed."

"Yes, girl!"

With that said, Ziteng wiped Chai Zhengzheng's feet with a soft towel and put her shoes on.

Yun Mu had just put soft and close-fitting clothes on Chai Zhengzheng, and before he had even fastened the ties, Chai Zhengzheng was already walking forward quickly.

"Girl! My hair isn't untied yet!"

Yunmu shouted and chased after him.

Chai Zhengzheng walked into the hall,

I saw it on the table,

Under the bright candlelight,

An envelope was quietly placed there.

Chai Zhengzheng quickly walked a few steps to the table and took a few glances at the envelope.

After seeing the stamp with the words 'Yulin Village' on the envelope, Chai Zhengzheng nodded, then opened the envelope two or three times and took out the letter paper inside.

At this time,

The first-class maids Yunmu and Fuyi had already followed in.

Just when Yunmu was about to stand behind Chai Zhengzheng and help her untie her bun, she saw Chai Zhengzheng shaking his head.

Yunmu could only stop.

Chai Zhengzheng looked at the letter and said, "The clerk in the store heard on August 25th that Xu Jiawulang was attacked on the 24th." "Three people defeated a team of white elites and shot dozens of people." "Someone responded." Already rushed to Yong Yihou's camp' and other information, she smiled unconsciously.

After putting away the letter, she glanced at the armored puppet in the corner, clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and prayed in a low voice: "I don't expect you to accomplish much, I just hope you can return to Beijing as soon as possible."

After praying, Chai Zhengzheng stood up and walked to the bed, opened a wooden box and put the envelope in.

Before closing the wooden box, you can see four or five opened letters inside.

August 29

clear sky

To the north of where the army of Marquis Yongyi is stationed,

A group of capable cavalry troops were stationed on the hillside,

The cavalry's mounts were still wheezing and panting heavily.

Looking at the "Zhou" flags flying high in the continuous camps,

Listening to the faint horns and training shouts of killing,

Xu Zaijing patted Xiao Liju's neck and looked at Guo Kui who went to greet him.

"ha!"

"drive!"

Xu Zaijing led the whip horse and ran towards the camp.
