Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Uncle Fang came to the Huang family to pay New Year's greetings.

So, when everyone saw the couple of Lord Shoushan welcoming guests outside, Uncle Fang bowed and said, "Uncle, Madam, these are my nephews, nieces, and great-nephews."

"Meet Uncle Shoushan and Madam, wish you a happy New Year!"

Led by Zaiduan, everyone bowed and shouted.

After all, most of the Xu and Sun families had served in the army, so the congratulations were quite uniform.

Lord Shoushan looked at such a large group of people and was a little surprised. There might not be enough seats in their house, but Lord Shoushan still smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Thank you, Dalang and everyone for your good words. Please sit inside!"

Mrs. Yuan, the wife of Lord Shoushan, nodded with a smile on her face and also made a gesture of invitation: "Come in quickly!"

A group of people from the Xu and Sun families rushed into the hall.

Without worrying the Huang family, everyone from the Xu and Sun families sat down in the Huang family hall according to the order of seniority.

Those who had no seats stood behind their elders.

"This is really a poor hospitality, a poor hospitality!" Shoushanbo looked at the scene in the hall and said to Zaiduan and Uncle Fang with a somewhat embarrassed bow.

Zaiduan looked at Uncle Fang and saw that Uncle Fang had no intention of answering, so he smiled and said, "Uncle, don't take this to heart. It's also a gathering of cousins ​​like us at Uncle Fang's house today!"

"Normally, no family would have so many people coming to pay New Year's greetings together!"

Shoushanbo laughed and said, "Hahaha! The prince is right!"

Although the wife of Shoushanbo next to her was the biological sister of Yuan Bingkai, the former Earl of Zhongqin, and Sheng Hualan, the second lady of the Xu family, almost became the second lady of the Yuan family.

But she looked at everyone and smiled and nodded, without any other expression on her face.

Before Huang Qingyue returned to Bianjing,

Mrs. Shoushanbo had seen Hualan several times at banquets in Bianjing, and often heard news about Hualan when chatting with good ladies.

When they met, Shoushanbo felt that Hualan was beautiful and elegant.

During the chat, all he heard were compliments for the second lady of the Xu family.

Such a good girl failed to become her niece's wife, and she married into the Marquis's mansion. Shoushanbo's wife felt a little uncomfortable.

However,

since Huang Qingyue returned to Bianjing,

there was a rumor that Ningyuan Marquis's wife had inquired about her son,

and later, there was almost an accident at the Zhu family's wedding banquet.

It was Xu Zaijing who controlled the brave Huang Qingyue and did not let him embarrass himself in front of everyone, which saved the reputation of the Huang family.

The discomfort in Shoushanbo's wife's heart disappeared.

In the hall,

from time to time, the servants of the Huang family moved long benches to the hall and asked the children of the Xu and Sun families to sit down.

Except for the beginning when Zaiduan and Shoushanbo talked,

in the later chats, it was Huang Qingyue who chatted with Zaiduan.

Most of what they talked about were military matters.

As Zhang's Dalang's favorite general, Huang Qingyue was qualified to talk to Zaiduan about some things.

After listening to Huang Qingyue's words, Zaiduan asked: "Brother Yue, so next year you will not go to the west, but directly go to the Duke's command?"

Huang Qingyue nodded: "I heard from Dalang that you will go to Zhending Prefecture to train soldiers and horses."

Zaiduan nodded and smiled: "Zhending Prefecture? That's a coincidence, my brother-in-law is from the Yi family of Zhending Prefecture! If Brother Yue encounters any difficulties in Zhending Prefecture, he can go to the Yi family to find someone."

Huang Qingyue smiled and bowed: "Then I will remember it."

Hearing that everyone's chat could actually bring such great help, the smiles on the faces of the Shoushanbo couple became even brighter.

The Shoushanbo couple had heard that the Yi family of Zhending Prefecture was a military general for generations.

With Xu Zaiduan's words, his son could take the invitation to visit the Yi family as a relative of Zaiduan.

The Huang family provided the money and gifts.

With this excuse, they could get to know the Yi family.

As long as they had the support of a local boss like the Yi family, their son would be more helpful when he went to train.

Zaiduan smiled and drank a sip of tea, then nodded with an admiring look on his face, saying, "Brother Yue, the cavalry under my father's command will be expanded after the New Year. A person like you has already been selected by Zhang's eldest son, so I don't want to do it anymore!"

"I wonder if Brother Yue has any familiar and powerful cavalry to recommend to me?"

Hearing this, Huang Qingyue thought for a while and said, "I heard that General Cao of the Western Army will allocate some cavalry to Xu Hou, why don't you return it, brother Shi."

Zaiduan waved his hand, "Of course I want both sides! The cavalry is newly established, and there are many opportunities for promotion!"

"Brother Shi, isn't this poaching the young master (Zhang's eldest son)'s girlfriend?"

"Don't worry about it, I'll talk to the young master about the matter."

Thinking that he had just received such a big favor from Zaiduan, Huang Qingyue's eyes turned, and after thinking for a while, he hesitantly said a few names.

After finishing speaking, Huang Qingyue looked at Zaiduan who was still looking at him, and hesitantly said: "There is another brother who is also from Bianjing. His surname is Liao and his name is Shuye. He was promoted to a captain according to his military merits, but he converted half of his military merits into silver money, saying that it was for his sister's dowry."

"Although he is not very old, he is a veteran of the cavalry! When the time comes, brother Shi goes to the young master to ask for people, don't say that the news came from me"

Zaiduan nodded: "Okay! I remember these people! Brother Yue, don't worry, I always keep my mouth shut!"

Afterwards, everyone said a few more words, and Zaiduan led the crowd to leave the Huang family.

Bowed to Huang Qingyue at the gate and said goodbye,

After everyone walked away,

Zai Zhang looked back at Huang Qingyue who was still standing at the door, and said to Zai Duan: "Brother, this Huang family boy has the protection of the Zhang family and the favor of the Gu family, so his future is limitless!"

Zai Duan nodded: This is also one of the reasons why he made friends with the Huang family boy.

Thinking of this, Zai Duan looked back at his younger brother. He, Xu Dalang, had to sell a favor to make friends with others, while his younger brother had to force people.

In this way, the Xu family and the Huang family are very good in both official and private matters.

In the future, relatives and friends of the family will have another place to go if they join the army.

Huang Qingyue waited until Zaiduan and the others disappeared around the corner before returning to the Huang family.

In the hall,

Mrs. Shoushanbo looked worried: "Yue'er, tell those people, if the young master knows about it."

Huang Qingyue said to Mrs. Shoushanbo with comfort in her eyes: "Don't worry, mother, Xu Dalang and the young master have both led cavalry under Xu Hou and charged through the enemy camp together. They are a life-long friendship!"

"Even if I don't tell, Xu Dalang will go to the young master to ask for him, and the young master will give him to him for the future of his comrades."

After listening, Mrs. Shoushanbo nodded: "That's good!"
