Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

Listening to the conversation between the Chai brothers and sisters in front,

the maid Yunmu who followed Chai Zhengzheng respectfully couldn't help but look up.

In Yunmu's field of vision, she couldn't see Chai Zhengzheng's expression, but only saw the corners of Chai Zhengzheng's lips slightly pursed.

Yunmu, who had served Chai Zhengzheng closely for some time, knew that this was a decision made by her own girl.

Before reaching the front hall,

a nobleman with some wrinkles and tears in his clothes was talking to a servant in front of everyone.

Chai Jin looked at the redness and swelling at the corners of his mouth and frowned, saying, "Erlang, why are you so embarrassed?"

Chai Bo who came over smiled at Chai Zhengzheng, looked at Chai Jin and said, "Brother, when I was going home just now, I saw a few of Zhang's brothers at the door, and I was itching to fight with them."

Chai Bo said as he stroked the tear on his clothes, and then endured the pain and didn't twitch his red and swollen corners of his mouth. .

Chai Jin looked at the servant who was bowing behind Chai Bo: "Don't you know how to stop him? Zhang's brother is a guest from afar! How can you fight with his men?"

The servant hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Yes, eldest master! I know I was wrong!"

"Did he win or lose?" Chai Jin continued.

"Brother, it has nothing to do with him. It's me, my younger brother. I."

Chai Bo, who was defending the servant, was speechless.

Chai Jin glanced at him, shook his head, and continued to walk towards the front hall with Chai Zhengzheng.

When Chai Zhengzheng passed by Chai Bo, he wrinkled his nose and rubbed his cheek with his white fingers: "Second brother. Tsk tsk, really..."

"Little sister, I."

Chai Bo looked at Chai Zhengzheng who left without paying attention to him and just waved at him, and was speechless for a while.

Who made him lose in the competition with the servant!

Thinking of this, Chai Bo sighed and continued to walk towards his yard. The servant behind him said, "Sir, those guys were too ruthless."

"Don't say it, I'm not as skilled as them."

In the front hall of the Chai family,

Mrs. Chai had a standard and polite smile on her face,

and looked at the young man sitting on the chair in the hall with a rather serious look in her eyes.

Seeing the young man looking over, Mrs. Chai stretched out her hand and said, "Pan'er, have some tea!"

The young man nodded with a smile on his face, picked up the teacup on the table beside him, took a sip and said, "The tea is good, and the tea-making skills are even better."

Mrs. Chai smiled and said, " Brother Pan, thank you for your compliment! How is Lord Zhang doing recently? "

"Madam, my father is still in good health and can eat two bowls of rice every day!"

"Being able to eat is a blessing! How long will Brother Pan stay in Beijing on this business trip?"

"Madam, I heard that we were allowed to join His Majesty's personal guards first, and how long we stay depends on His Majesty's will."

Madam Chai nodded: "Being a personal guard by His Majesty's side is the first step to being valued by the court. Brother Pan has a promising future."

"By Madam, I wish you good luck."

"The eldest son and the third lady are here."

After the voice of the maid was heard, the Chai brothers and sisters walked into the hall.

Zhang Shipan stood up from the chair and looked at Chai Jin who was walking in front of him without any strange expression,

but when he saw Chai Zhengzheng who was half a step behind Chai Jin,

Zhang Shipan's eyes were full of surprise.

"Pan'er, long time no see!"

"Hello, brother."

Looking at the brother and sister who were greeting him, Zhang Shipan hurriedly bowed in return, and his eyes swept across Chai Zhengzheng's face again.

Everyone sat down again.

Chai Jin looked at Zhang Shipan and said, "Did Pan'er come to Beijing to see the emperor this time?"

Zhang Shipan straightened his upper body and bowed, saying, "Still waiting for the palace to summon him."

Chai Jin nodded, "I just heard from Bo'er that Pan'er's followers are quite capable."

Zhang Shipan smiled and said, "Erlang is too kind. Those are just fighting men from the north. They often follow me around to do official business in the department. They have seen many scenes of different sizes."

After saying that, taking the opportunity to drink tea, he nodded to Chai Zhengzheng who was looking at him.

"Then these brave soldiers must be highly skilled in martial arts!" Chai Zhengzheng agreed politely.

"To be honest, they had a fight with the four brothers from General Zheng Jun's family in the north before, and they were not at a disadvantage in a head-on fight."

Chai Zhengzheng thought for a while and said, "Are they the four brothers from the Zheng family, Jianghe, Huhai, and Hai?"

"Yes, yes!"

Chai Zhengzheng nodded, "They are quite powerful."

After talking for a while in the hall,

Chai Bo, who had changed his clothes, also came into the house.

When the sun was setting,

the brother from the Zhang family in Beizhou got up and said goodbye.

Madam Chai took Chai Zhengzheng to the second gate.

Looking at Zhang Shipan who was bowing to his two sons at the gate, Madam Chai whispered to Chai Zhengzheng: "Zhang's brother is 22 years old this year and has not yet married. What do you think of him?"

Without waiting for Chai Zhengzheng to answer, Madam Chai continued: "He can become your majesty's personal guard attendant, and his future will definitely be good."

Chai Zhengzheng on the side shook her head, moving the jewelry on her bun. In the crisp ding-ding sound, Chai Zhengzheng said: "Mother, my daughter doesn't look good!"

Madam Chai glanced at Chai Zhengzheng with a reproachful look:

"What do you mean by not good? I think Pan'er's appearance can be praised as handsome and talented!"

Looking at Zhang Shipan who glanced at the second gate again before leaving, Madam Chai said: "Speaking of it, the favorite concubine of the Zhang family in Beizhou who entered the palace before was Pan'er's aunt! I heard that Pan'er looks a bit like that."

Chai Zhengzheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh! No wonder he looks a little feminine! My daughter doesn't like it!"

With that said, Chai Zhengzheng turned around and returned to the inner courtyard.

Mrs. Chai sighed helplessly, grabbed Chai Zhengzheng's sleeve and said: "Zheng'er, don't always compare others with the Xu family brother, there are not many such handsome and cheerful young men in Tokyo!"

Chai Zhengzheng smiled and said nothing, but his steps seemed to be much lighter.

The mother and daughter were walking,

Chai Zhengzheng looked at the spring afternoon scenery in the courtyard and suddenly said: "Mother, do you think there is any difference between the Zhang family brother and Xu Jiawulang just now?"

"The two are just different!" Mrs. Chai frowned and said in confusion.

"Mother!"

Chai Zhengzheng shook Mrs. Chai's sleeves and continued: "What my daughter is talking about is not appearance, but... a feeling!"

Mrs. Chai thought as she walked,

For a moment, mother and daughter did not speak.

When entering the inner courtyard, Mrs. Chai said: "The Xu family's brother looks comfortable, but this family's does not feel that way."

"Right!"

Chai Zhengzheng agreed with a bright-eyed smile.

Looking at her daughter's appearance, Mrs. Chai shook her head helplessly.

small paper mill,

Xie family,

Xu Xingdai, who was flying in the air, looked at the roof of Xie's house.

I haven't seen clearly whether there is grass growing on the roof.

Xu Xingdai fell down.

Soon, when there was still some distance from the ground,

Someone touched his butt.

Then Xu Xingdai flew upward again,

After flying like this for more than a dozen times,

"Okay, today's number is up, go find your mother on behalf of my brother."

"oh"

Xu Xingdai reluctantly moved off Xu Zaijing's feet.

The Yi family brother on the side looked at his nephew who crossed the threshold and walked towards the inner courtyard and smiled and said, "No wonder Brother Dai is so close to you!"

"Just for fun! By the way, Brother Yi, did you say that any of the Imperial City officials who came to the capital with you had fought against spies from the Northern Liao Dynasty?"

"Yes, they are the ones from Beizhou I told you about. The Zhang family brother who headed them also has quite an ancestor."

"oh?"

Looking at Xu Zaijing's appearance, the brother of the Yi family looked around and saw that there was no one in the yard, so he whispered: "Wu Lang, do you know that when His Majesty first succeeded to the throne, he wanted to establish a queen, and the candidate at that time had to be deposed. The Guo family, there is also a beauty named Zhang?”

Xu Zaijing shook his head with probing eyes and said, "I've never heard of this."

The brother-in-law of the Yi family whispered: "If the empress dowager hadn't intervened at that time, the empress of today would be that Zhang Meiren!"

"and"

The brother-in-law of the Yi family said in a lower voice: "It is said that the reason why Concubine Rong entered the palace and was so favored is because she has some similarities with that beauty Zhang!"

Xu Zaijing looked at the Yi family brother-in-law with a look of horror and disbelief.

"Don't believe it? Then Wulang, why do you think Concubine Rong was born in a family of bricklayers in Bianjing, but she was able to receive such honor?"

Xu Zaijing hesitated and said: "Although she is somewhat similar to that one, it is Concubine Rong who is very talented herself, otherwise she would not be able to rely on the similarity alone."

"Well, Goro is right."

Xu Zaijing said with emotion: "I grew up in Bianjing, and no one has ever mentioned what Brother Yi said."

"If the children of the Zhang family from Beizhou hadn't come to Beijing and started talking about it, I wouldn't have said so much."

"Brother Yi, don't worry. This matter comes from your mouth and my ears. I will never say anything more."

"Hey, it's okay. The elderly people in Bianjing have heard about what happened back then, but now that Concubine Rong is her favorite, it's hard for everyone to say more."

night,

The Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty,

The queen's bedroom,

The queen was holding the princess and was listening to the report from the female official on the side.

"That's good. She married into the Lu family and gave birth to six girls. The Duke's Mansion and the palace will help her. She will be able to have more money in the future."

"That's what the queen said."

At this time, a young internal official bowed and walked in.

After whispering a few words to the queen's personal maid, she retreated.

"What's wrong?"

"Go back to your Majesty, Your Majesty said you would come to the palace later tonight."

"Who do you want to meet?"

"Hui Niang, yes! He is said to be a descendant of the Zhang family in Beizhou."

The queen was stunned for a moment and then nodded: "Okay, I understand."

After the princess goes to bed,

Zhao Fang walked into the dormitory with his personal officials.

"Fang'er, why did you come here tonight? Didn't you say you wanted to sleep by yourself?"

"My mother, my father sent someone to ask if I would like to change the attendants around me to protect my mother, but I don't want to change."

The queen narrowed her eyes: "Who does your father want to replace you with?"

"He is said to be a powerful person who has performed meritorious deeds in Bay State in the north. How powerful can he be? Is he more powerful than Brother Jing?"

"snort!"

Then the queen said with a straight face: "Fang'er, just tell your father what you think!"

Zhao Fang nodded quickly, came to the queen's side, looked at his sister, and then said goodbye to the queen.

Watching Zhao Fang leave, the queen frowned and said, "Let Concubine Rong know about Your Majesty's meeting with the children of the Zhang family."

"Send a message outside the palace and let the Dou family of the auxiliary state know about this!"

"Yes, concubine."

The female officer bowed and left the palace.

The queen walked to the bed, looked at her daughter sleeping under the candlelight, and whispered to herself: "From now on, I will share the benefits of the Rong family."

"Oh, maybe we have to break up now."
