Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

"What nonsense are you talking about! That's Zhuang Xuexue's carriage!"

Sheng Hong frowned and shouted to Wang Ruofu.

"I, I didn't see clearly!"

Wang Ruofu said sarcastically.

After a while,

The carriage came to the gate.

Zhuang Xuexue walked out of the carriage wearing ear protection.

"Study, thank you for your hard work!"

"Shang Shanda is so polite."

After Xuexue Zhuang got off the carriage, he bowed slightly to the old lady.

The old lady and the two mothers beside her, Fang and Cui, nodded in return.

"Shengshan people, Brother Jing said that he might have met relatives from the Sheng family who came from afar on the way, so he and Brother Bai stayed behind to recognize and greet them."

"I know, I know, please be pedantic."

Xuexue Zhuang nodded and said to Zai Zhang, who was dismounting behind him: "Master, I got up early today. I'm going to take a nap for half an hour. You can do it yourself."

Gu Tingye, Qi Heng and other four people hurriedly responded.

Xuexue Zhuang nodded to the old lady at the door and then entered the courtyard.

Zai Zhang and the other four people did not enter the door, but stood at the door and looked in the direction they came from.

In the motorcade of Youyang Changfang,

There were two people sitting side by side in a carriage at the back.

One of them was a middle-aged woman who was well-dressed and wearing gold jewelry. She was staring out of the car at the window, looking at the four- to five-story wooden buildings on the roadside. Her eyes were full of surprise.

The other one was a young man in his twenties, looking out from the other window, his eyes constantly scanning the bodies of the older girls and younger wives on the roadside.

"hiss!"

The young man looked at the attractive prostitute who was bidding farewell to his overnight guest at the door of the brothel on the roadside and took a deep breath involuntarily.

"It's so pitiful that such a beauty has fallen like this! I will definitely advise you to be a good person when I have time!"

As he said that, the young man glanced at the plaque at the door of the brothel: "Chaoyun Pavilion, what a name!"

"Son, look at that guy's mule walking in front of you! When you marry the daughter of the Sheng family in a few months, you will have to ride a mule like this to be majestic!"

The middle-aged woman spoke with an accent of the Hebei and Lu dialect of Dizhou, Hebei East Road (now Binzhou, Shandong).

"Mother, what did you say?"

The young man who was disturbed turned his body to the other side of the carriage and looked out of the window given by his mother-in-law.

Looking at Xu Zaijing who was talking to Changwu and Xiao Liju who was sitting down with Xu Zaijing, the young man said with disdain in his eyes: "Tsk! Look at this dandy with no fame!"

"The horse is pretty good! Just ask Shulan's father to borrow it then!"

After throwing down the curtains, the young man moved closer to his window and continued to glance at the woman he saw on the roadside.

"My son! I heard that the second room of the Sheng family has hired a very powerful scholar. Then you should ask for more advice and follow the old god's hexagram!"

"The old gods said that you are the Prime Minister Genmiao. If you agree to the divination, your mother-in-law will give us many real estate shops!"

The young man said with disdain on his face: "Wait until I pass the provincial examination, then the national examination, and then the palace examination! If the Sheng family doesn't give me a farm and a shop, then I'll just divorce him and marry him again!"

"Son, this can't be like this! I heard that the second brother-in-law of the Sheng family is in the civil service department, so it's hard to fall out with him!" the mother-in-law said in a low voice!

"What is the Ministry of Officials and Etiquette! How old are they?"

Position at the front of the convoy,

Xu Zaijing, Chang Bai, and Sheng Changwu were walking side by side in front of the carriage.

Xu Zaijing glanced behind him in confusion, and said with some interest: "Brother Changwu, are you saying that you have brought Sister Shulan's betrothed?"

Changbai also looked at Changwu with some unnaturalness on his face.

Sheng Changwu looked back at his mother's carriage and whispered: "This is what my mother meant. Thinking of the outstanding people in Bianjing and the many well-educated people, I hope to find a famous teacher to give Sun Xiucai some advice. Let him clear up the clouds and see that he can pass the provincial examination and become a civil servant!"

Changbai nodded in approval.

Xu Zaijing scratched his head in embarrassment: This change was a bit big. He thought he would never have a chance to meet the prime minister, Miao Sun Xiucai! Wouldn't a famous teacher like Youzhuang Xuexue really let this guy become a scholar or a Jinshi?

Looking at Xu Zaijing scratching his head,

In the carriage behind, Mrs. Li, who was sitting with Sheng Wei, lifted the curtains and looked at Xu Zaijing with a smile on her face: "Guanren, Bianjing is really a place of outstanding people! Which family's children are around our Wu'er? Look. He is handsome and talented!”

The bearded Sheng Wei leaned forward to pull down the car curtain, frowned at Mrs. Li's incomprehensible eyes, and whispered: "That is the youngest son of the Xu family of the Yongyi Marquis Mansion. He is capable of literature and martial arts, not our girl." Matched."

"oh!"

Mrs. Li blinked regretfully.

"Officer, my mother sent you a letter earlier. Do you have any plans in mind for our family's marriage?"

Sheng Wei shook his head and said, "It's not that easy!"

outside the car,

Changwu looked at Xu Zaijing's mount with envy.

"Brother Changwu, I see you are very organized in your movements. Have you ever practiced martial arts?"

"Ah? Yes! When doing business in the Great Zhou Dynasty, you must have martial arts at your side, so that you can protect yourself when encountering bandits!"

Xu Zaijing nodded and said, "Does Brother Changwu have any plans to join the army?"

Glancing at the carriage behind him, Chang Wu slowly shook his head: "My parents only have one son."

Xu Zaijing nodded and understood.

Amidst the sounds of hawking, shouting and other types of fireworks in Bianjing City,

A group of carriages and horses rushed towards Jiying Lane.

At the entrance of the Sheng family,

Xu Zaijing Changbai, who was walking in front and dismounted, was already standing at the gate with Gu Tingye and Qi Heng watching.

The carriage of the eldest branch of Youyang slowly stopped.

Madam Sheng walked towards the carriage without waiting for it to stop.

"Sister-in-law!"

Madam Sheng leaned down and got out of the carriage.

Looking at the old lady who was walking briskly, she smiled and said, "Sister! It's been a long time since we last met in Youyang!"

Mr. Sheng Wei helped his mother step on the horse stool to get off the carriage, and called the old lady "Auntie" together.

Sheng Hong and Wang Ruofu also called her "Auntie".

Shulan and Pinlan, who got off the carriage at the back, came over and called everyone from the second branch of the Sheng family.

The old lady held hands tightly with the old lady of the first house, looked at the two girls beside her and nodded with a smile: "Shulan and Pinlan have grown up so much!"

"Let's go into the yard!"

Sheng Hong pulled Sheng Wei,

Wang Ruofu smiled and took the arm of Mrs. Li, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, let's follow. Molan, Rulan, Minglan, go and pick up your two sisters."

"Yes, Mrs. Li/Mother." The three Lans responded.

Mrs. Li kept smiling, nodded quickly, and waved to Shulan and Pinlan, asking them to come over quickly.

Shulan looked at the beautiful Molan, and lowered her head a little uncomfortable and unconfident.

Rulan and the quirky Pinlan looked at each other and smiled, "Sisters, please come in."

When they arrived at the gate,

Rulan looked at Zai Zhang who was standing beside her with a smile and introduced, "Sisters, this is our sister Hualan's husband, our eldest brother-in-law."

"Brother-in-law!"

Shulan and Pinlan bowed with a smile.

Zai Zhang smiled and said, "Come in!"

"I haven't introduced cousin Jing yet!" Rulan frowned with her hands on her hips.

Zai Zhang nodded with a smile and said, "Then you introduce him!"

Xu Zai Jing smiled and bowed without waiting for Pinlan to speak, "Sister Shulan and sister Pinlan, I'm happy!"

"Hello, cousin Jing!"

Shulan and Pinlan bowed their heads and bowed.

Then Rulan introduced Gu Tingye and Qi Heng. After hearing their identities, Shulan lowered her head and dared not raise it.

Everyone entered the Sheng family.

Xu Zai Jing stayed at the end.

He looked back at the convoy of the eldest house of Youyang, but did not find the carriage of the mother and son of the Sun family that Changwu had just mentioned.

I think the marriage between the two families has not been completed, so it is not appropriate for the mother and son of the Sun family to show up.

"Go!"

The driver's voice came from a distance,

Xu Zaijing looked outside and stopped at the door.

After a while,

a gorgeous carriage with a wooden sign with the word "Xu" stopped at the door.

First, the maid Cuichan,

then Hualan holding Xu Xingzhong, got off the car one after another.

"Xiaowu, are the relatives of the eldest house here?"

Hualan said to Xu Zaijing with a smile while holding the child.

Xu Zaijing smiled and nodded: "Sister Hualan, the relatives just went in, I stayed behind to cover them!"

Hualan smiled: "Come on, go to the grandmother with me!"

Xu Zaijing paused, pointed in the direction of the school: "Sister Hualan, I still have to go"

The doorman of the Sheng family bowed and said: "Fifth Master, I just heard from the scholar that he wants to take a nap for half an hour."

Xu Zaijing smiled and said: "Okay! Sister Hualan, please."

Walking on the way to Shou'an Hall,

Hualan handed Zhong Ge'er to Cuichan, smiled at Xu Zaijing, who was a head taller than her, and said: "Xiaowu, how do you feel about going to the Imperial Examination Hall today?"

Xu Zaijing exhaled: "I am deeply touched."

As the two talked,

they arrived outside Shou'an Hall in a short while,

and heard the laughter of the two grandmothers in Shou'an Hall before entering the house.

"Wu Lang and the eldest girl are back!"

The maid announced outside the door.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zai Zhang walked out quickly, looked at Hua Lan and said with a smile: "My wife! Come, Zhong Ge'er, let Daddy hold you!"

As he spoke, Zai Zhang let Hua Lan into Shou'an Hall.

Hua Lan entered the house and saw that there were already many more tables and chairs in the hall.

The daughters-in-law, grandchildren and granddaughters of the first and second houses sat behind their elders.

Hua Lan walked closer with a handkerchief in her hand, smiled and bowed: "Hualan greets the great grandmother, grandmother! Uncle, aunt!"

Turned around and squatted slightly: "Father, mother!"

Then he smiled to the side and said: "Sister Shulan, brother Changwu, sister Pinlan."

The two Lans and one Wu of the first house hurriedly called Sister Hua Lan to stand up and return the greeting.

"Hualan, come to the great grandmother and let me see you. I haven't seen you for many years since you went to Youyang that time!"

The eldest old lady of the first house smiled and waved to Hua Lan.

Hua Lan walked over with a smile.

The eldest lady held Hualan's hand with a smile on her face. After staring at Hualan for a while, she looked at the old lady with satisfaction and said, "Old sister, this marquis's mansion is for raising people. Look at Hualan's style! She really looks like the eldest lady of the marquis's mansion!"

While speaking, she also looked at Wang Ruofu, and then nodded to Sheng Hong in appreciation.

Sheng Hong's eyes were full of satisfaction, and Wang Ruofu smiled from ear to ear, saying, "Auntie, you are too kind. She is just a wild girl! She can only have what she has today thanks to her mother!"

And the eldest lady Li from the first room looked at Hualan with envy, and her heart was full of expectations for Shulan. She hoped that her son-in-law Sun Xiucai would pass the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official, and Shulan would also be so elegant.

Pinlan looked at Hualan with stars in her eyes, and Shulan on the same side said, "Sister, Sister Hualan has changed a lot since we first met her!"

Shulan looked at her with some envy in her eyes: "Sister is right!"

At this time, Zai Zhang had already sat down below Wang Ruofu and above Changbai.

Wang Ruofu looked at her lovely grandson Zhong Ge'er and smiled as she took him from Zai Zhang's arms.

Seeing the child,

the old lady smiled and let go of Hua Lan's hand, and motioned Hua Lan to sit on the embroidered cushion beside her.

Then, the old lady glanced at the hall: "Old sister, didn't you say that Hong Ge'er had a little son? Why didn't I see him today?"

The old lady smiled and said: "He would not have woken up at this time in the past. I saw that he would come here soon!"

"Oh!"

As soon as the old lady finished speaking,

the curtain at the door was lifted,

and Wei Shuyi, holding Sheng Changju, walked in with a smile.

"Oh, our Sheng family's little baby, come and let me see."

Wang Ruofu smiled and waved to Wei Shuyi, who walked to the old lady and put Changju, whose eyes were rolling around, in the old lady's arms.

The eldest old lady held Sheng Changzhang in a slightly unfamiliar manner. After taking a closer look at Sheng Changzhang's appearance, she looked at the old lady with emotion and heartache.

After many years of being sisters-in-law, the old lady understood what the old sister-in-law meant: this child looks like him!

The one who looks like him is naturally Sheng Zhen, the old lady's child who died in infancy.

The old lady smiled bitterly and shook her head: Although he looks like him, he is not him after all, and she doesn't care that much!

Afterwards, tea and dried fruits were served in the hall.

Everyone was talking in the hall.

Xu Zaijing and Changbai stayed for a while and then left for the school.

In the afternoon,

Sheng Wei and his wife returned to their home in Bianjing,

but the eldest old lady of the eldest house stayed in the Sheng family and slept in the same bed with the old lady, who had been a sister-in-law for many years.

Minglan went to Jin'anzhai and slept with Wei Shuyi.
