Do you know: I’m Xu Jiazi

Saying,

Wang Ruofu placed the bow on the table.

Wang Ruofu looked at the feather arrow that Mama Liu took out of the silk case and her eyes narrowed: "Hiss!"

"Madam, what's wrong?" Mother Liu asked hurriedly.

Wang Ruofu reached out and took the feather arrow, staring at the arrowhead on it, and said, "This is too sharp! Isn't it inappropriate for girls to play with this?"

Madam Liu nodded in approval and said, "What the lady said is right! But, this is very popular in Beijing recently. The fifth girl may not play it, but she must understand it!"

Wang Ruofu frowned slightly and said, "That's true! When Ru'er comes back, tell her and Xi Que to watch out for themselves when playing with this!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

"Should we hire a female tutor for the girl?" asked Mother Liu.

Wang Ruofu nodded and said, "Please! The Xu family is a noble military commander. Send a message to Hua'er and ask her to help find it!"

Now Anzai,

Inside the house,

In front of the window with the best light,

There is an embroidery frame placed on the ground.

Wei Shuyi, who was sitting in front of the embroidery frame, withdrew her gaze from the roof in the distance, glanced at the green plants beside her, then turned to look at the embroidery frame, ready to continue embroidering.

"Girl! Something is coming in from the second gate!"

The voice of the maid Qiu Jiang came.

Wei Shuyi turned his head and said, "Put it on the table!"

She stood up and walked towards the table.

After a while,

The soft bow and thin arrows were placed on the table.

The maid Qiu Jiang looked at the item with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "Little girl, why did your family buy this?"

Wei Shuyi looked at the bow and arrow and chuckled, "When I went to the Ni family before, my sister from my mother's side said that this thing seemed to be very popular among the noble ladies in the capital."

"Oh!" Qiu Jiang nodded and said, "Master, is this to let the Sixth Miss have some fun too!"

"Um!"

Wei Shuyi nodded and stretched his arms a few times.

Qiu Jiang said in surprise: "Little girl, you don't want to try it, do you?"

Wei Shuyi smiled, moved the thimble on his finger to the position of the knuckle, picked up the bow, took a deep breath, and then pulled the bow in his hand with standard movements!

Looking at Wei Shuyi's movements, Qiu Jiang couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow~ Girl, you are really good at it!"

Wei Shuyi gently released the bowstring. Before he could say anything, Qiu Jiang clapped his hands and continued, "My dear, I heard that the painting of a female general guarding the border in the old lady's room was embroidered by you. No wonder!"

Looking at Qiu Jiang's appearance, Wei Shuyi smiled, put the soft bow on the table, and said: "This bow is not very powerful, it is very suitable for the girls!"

Qiu Niang nodded and said, "Little girl, how to draw a bow? Did you learn this from your family?"

Wei Shuyi shook his head and said, "No. My father on my mother's side was a teacher of literature. He was good friends with a martial arts teacher in the county named Ma. When I was a child, I learned how to draw a bow and arrow from Ma's sister for more than ten days."

Qiu Jiang smiled and said, "My dear, if you put it this way, you are a man of both civil and military talents!"

Wei Shuyi smiled and shook his head.

Linqi Pavilion,

In the yard,

Lin Qinshuang, who was admiring the flowers outside, looked at the bow and arrow in Zhou Xueniang's hand, waved her hand with some disdain, and said, "Put it aside!"

"Little girl, this was bought specially for me by the master. The other two courtyards have it! It might not be a good idea to put it aside!"

Lin Qinshuang glanced at Zhou Xuenniang and said with a disgusted look, "What's the point of a girl wielding a sword or a gun?"

"But, young lady, I heard outside that this is very popular in the capital! If the fourth young lady doesn't know how to do this, wouldn't she be out of place?"

After Zhou Xueniang finished speaking, Lin Qinshuang stopped stroking the flowers in the pot and said, "It's good that Mo'er doesn't know how to do it! In the future, won't these noble sons have the opportunity to teach Mo'er archery?"

"If we really learn it in advance, wouldn't that mean there will be fewer reasons to ask for advice?"

Zhou Xuenniang nodded repeatedly with admiration: "That's right!"

After Lin Qinshuang finished speaking, she said with some worry on her face: "Mo'er's period is expected in the next one or two days. I don't know if the servants are taking good care of her in the suburbs!"

Zhou Xuenniang said, "With the mothers around the old lady, the fourth young lady should be fine."

Lin Qinshuang looked at the bees flying in the yard not far away and said, "I hope so!"

Quyuan Street,

Near the Yongyi Marquis Mansion,

The house next to Qingyun Courtyard,

The wedding characters pasted on both sides of the door have not faded yet.

There were several well-dressed ladies standing in the yard. One of them was the nanny of Duke Yan's Du family. Her maiden name was Shi, and she was married to the steward of Duke Yan's family.

Earlier, at Madam Wu's polo field, it was this Madam Shi who went to the Xu family's tent to "borrow fire". She had chosen Xu Zaijing and the two Ma Shizhong's Xunshu as her son-in-law.

Although her daughter got married some time ago and returned home a few days later, Madam Shi had never had the chance to come to Quyuan Street. Today was her first time here.

"Good! Really nice! It can be seen that a lot of thought went into renovating this yard!" said Nanny Shi after looking at the corners of the house.

Xun Shu's wife smiled and said, "Mother, this was built by the craftsmen of the Li family hired by the Marquis' Mansion. How could we not pay attention to it?"

Madam Shi and her daughter-in-law looked at each other with a smile. Looking at her daughter who looked so happy, she said, "You are the only one who can talk nonsense!"

"Mother, sister-in-law, come in!"

The book-hunting lady said with a smile.

"good!"

After Madam Shi finished speaking, she looked at the little maid in the yard and said, "Is this girl obedient in your place?"

"Be obedient! Mother, how can the maid you picked not be smart and obedient?"

"If it's not good, just tell me and I'll find you another one!"

"Why!"

As they spoke, the three of them entered the house.

Looking around the room, at the portrait hanging on one side of the main hall, Madam Shi squinted her eyes and said, "Hiss, is this your husband? Why is he hanging his own portrait on the wall? It's a bit unlucky!"

"Mother, this was painted by Wulang himself! The master treasures it like a treasure."

"Oh! This is the work of a young master from a marquis's mansion! I have to hang it up to enjoy the blessing of being a young master from a high-ranking family."

As they spoke, Nanny Shi and her daughter-in-law sat down on the chairs.

"Where is your husband?" asked Nanny Shi.

"He went to the main kitchen in the mansion to fetch wine and food! He said that Madam Xu Hou had specifically instructed him to do so."

"It seems that your husband is really the close associate of Marquis Wulang!"

"Madam? Are my mother-in-law and sister-in-law here?" The voice of someone searching for a book could be heard from outside the house.

Nanny Shi stood up and walked outside, and saw her son-in-law and a few servants coming into the yard carrying food boxes.

After finding books and setting up the food and wine,

He took out two wooden boxes from the side.

"Sir, what is this?" asked the woman who was looking for books.

Xunshu scratched his head and smiled, saying, "This is the cup that the Fifth Master gave to Alan and me. He said that he brought it along when Young Master Lu came here today."

Seeing the puzzled look on Yue's mother-in-law's and others' faces, Xun Shu continued, "This is the style that the Fifth Young Master drew himself! I thought it was beautiful, so I thought of asking Yue's mother-in-law to bring it back to my father-in-law and brother."

Aunt Shi smiled and nodded:

"I know that the young master of the Lu family is Wu Lang's sworn brother! When Wu Lang was rescuing people at the Taoist temple, your father-in-law and brother were there."

"But this isn't a festival, what is Young Master Lu doing here?"

Before Xunshu could speak, Shi Ma's daughter-in-law said, "Mother, there will be a happy event in the Lu family tomorrow."

"Yes, yes. Look at my memory."

As he spoke, Xunshu had already taken the things out of the wooden box.

Madam Shi nodded and said, "Well, this cup has a really nice porcelain rim! The style is also novel! You can keep it for yourself, my dear son-in-law!"

Xunshu was about to speak when his wife said with a smile, "Hey, mother, I'll keep it for now."

Huihefang,

The Mansion of Duke Lian

The third branch of the Lu family is the prince consort, and he usually lives in a house in Yulin Lane.

But today, the girl from the third branch of the Lu family is getting married, and she is marrying a girl from the Duke's Mansion.

In front of the gate of the Duke's Mansion,

Not only the door lintel, but even the two stone lions at the door were hung with red silk.

"Oh~"

"Sigh~"

Several horses snorted and stopped steadily at the door.

There were several carriages following behind.

When the Lu family's doorman saw Xu Zaijing and Lu Zezong, he hurriedly came up with a smile and said, "Young Master, Brother Jing, you're back!"

Xu Zaijing dismounted, smiled and nodded, glanced at Lu Zezong who had dismounted, and threw the reins in his hand to the doorman, saying, "Has the Chai family's makeup gift arrived?"

"Reply to Goro, not yet!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"good!"

Xu Zaijing nodded.

"Brother, wait for me!"

Lu Zezong dismounted and, smiling, quickly chased after Xu Zaijing who had entered the room.

Walk through the corridor and through the door,

Xu Zaijing came to the backyard of the Lu family.

In the voice of the maid,

Xu Zaijing and Lu Zezong entered the hall.

Looking at the people in the hall,

Xu Zaijing hurriedly bowed and called for help.

Seeing Xu Zaijing coming in, Mr. Lu and the old lady of the Duke's wife were all smiles. Mr. Lu said, "Brother Jing, come and sit down!"

Madam Li and Prince Consort Lu and his wife, who were sitting nearby, also looked at Xu Zaijing with eyes full of kindness and fondness.

After seeing Xu Zaijing, Prince Consort Lu turned back to look at his son in the nanny's arms.

The beautiful girls from the third branch of the Lu family returned the greeting to Xu Zaijing, then smiled and looked at each other with ambiguous expressions in their eyes.

After all, whenever they went out to attend gatherings, as long as they talked about Xu Zaijing's situation, they would always gain a lot of attention and concern from other noble ladies.

"What do you think of the cups that Zong'er sent?" the old master asked with a smile.

Xu Zaijing nodded repeatedly and said, "Good! This porcelain firing technique is very good!"

The old man smiled and said, "Brother Jing, you are very thoughtful. This cup has become much bigger. With this curved handle, you won't get burned."

Xu Zaijing smiled and nodded, "Old Master, I also borrowed the wisdom of my predecessors! When I read books on weekdays, I feel that the cup is too small and the water is not enough to drink! Although there is a saucer to hold the teacup to prevent scalding, sometimes I still have to use both hands."

Mr. Lu smiled and nodded, "Yes! Sometimes there is this trouble."

The porcelain that Xu Zaijing asked the Lu family to make was just a mug that was very common in later generations.

Although Xu Zaijing said that it would be enough to just make a few cups of this style, Lu Zezong took this matter very seriously, and the porcelain craftsmen of the Lu and Li families took it even more seriously.

Later, the cup was made to be perfect.

The inside of the cup is snow-white.

The outside of the cup is glazed in five colors.

In a porcelain shop in Bian Jing, the starting price would be eight or nine strings of cash.

When talking about the lady recommended by Xu Zaijing, who was very good at making elephant-shaped flowers,

Nanny Lu walked into the room, bowed and said with a smile: "Your Highness, the Duke, the Prince Consort, the Second Son of the Chai Family, and the Young Master Qi are here to give you a gift to urge you to get married!"

The princess and Mr. Lu smiled and nodded.

Mr. Lu smiled and said:

"Haha~ please come in!"

The front yard main hall,

Xu Zaijing and Lu Zezong sat at the table, eating and drinking with Chai Bo and Qi Heng, who had come to deliver the wedding gifts.

Qi Heng raised his wine glass and said, "Brother Jing, the wife of the Duke of England and the old lady have always been on good terms. Didn't Brother Zhang say he would come? Why didn't I see him?"

Xu Zaijing looked at Lu Zezong, and Lu Zezong hurriedly said, “A few young people from the Zhang family will come tomorrow morning!”

Qi Heng nodded: "Oh! That's how it is!"

After Qi Heng finished speaking, Chai Bo raised his glass and said, "Wu Lang, when you block the door tomorrow, please show mercy!"

Xu Zaijing raised his glass and smiled: "Okay! Okay!"

After dinner,

When Xu Zaijing and Lu Zezong were drinking tea with the Chai family,

A maid from the Lu family came into the room and said, "Young Master, Fifth Master, our carriage is ready."

Lu Zezong stood up, looked at Xu Zaijing, and said hesitantly: "Brother. I..."

Xu Zaijing looked at Lu Zezong with a smile and said, "Why? Do you want me to go with you?"

"Yes!" Lu Zezong nodded heavily.

Xu Zaijing thought about it and said with a smile: "Okay! I'll go ask the old master, if he nods, I'll go with you!"

After receiving the answer,

Xu Zaijing and Lu Zezong rode towards the Chai family on horseback.

The several carriages following behind were loaded with a small portion of the Lu family's girls' dowry and things needed to run the shop.

The third branch of the Lu family gave birth to six daughters in a row.

so,

I don't know if it's taboo or what.

Among the people who went to the Chai family shop today, there was only Lu Zezong, who was a cousin, but no younger sisters or girls from the third branch of the Lu family.

East of the palace,

Chai Family,

The Chai family was not far from Huihefang.

It doesn't take long to walk from Duke Lian's Mansion to the Chai family.

In the Chai family's house, which was filled with joy, red silk was hung and wedding characters were pasted on the wall.

Chai Zhengzheng followed Mrs. Chai.

Although the housekeeper came to visit from time to time to consult Mrs. Chai about some matters,

But Mrs. Chai kept silent most of the time and let Chai Zhengzheng, who was beside her, make the decisions.

At this time,

Zi Teng, who was beside Chai Zhengzheng, had a red silk tied around her waist. She walked over quickly with a smile, bowed, and said, "Madam, Miss, the carriage from the Lu family's shop is here."

Madam Chai smiled and nodded: "But Zong Ge'er came with the girl from the third branch of the Lu family? Are there others?"

"Madam! Didn't you see the girl from the third branch of the Lu family? Jing'er from the Xu family has also come along." Zi Teng glanced at Chai Zhengzheng and said.

"Okay! Let's go and welcome him." Mrs. Chai said with a smile.

On the road,

Mrs. Chai smiled and shook her head. Chai Zhengzheng asked in confusion, "Mother, what's wrong?"

Madam Chai said, "It can be seen that the Lu family still cares about our feelings."

Chai Zhengzheng was stunned, thought for a moment and nodded.

soon,

Madam Chai and Chai Zhengzheng brought the maids and servants to the main hall in the front yard.

Xu Zaijing and Lu Zezong, who were talking to the head of the Chai family and others, saw Madam Chai and Chai Zhengzheng walking around the screen, and hurriedly stood up to greet them.

After the greetings,

Chai Zhengzheng accompanied Lu Zezong and the maid of the Lu family to the backyard of the Chai family, where they were busy making the bed, hanging the bed curtains, placing the dressing box, and rolling the bed.

Xu Zaijing was left in the main hall by Mrs. Chai.

Madam Chai looked at Xu Zaijing with a smile and said:

"Brother Jing, I know your mother can't come! But your two sisters-in-law and two sisters can't not come to my house!"

"Gu Family, Huyan Family, I have posted the notice! You must tell your mother about this again!"

Xu Zaijing nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, mother has discussed with the aunts from the Bai and Pan families, and my second sister and sister-in-law Hualan will come here."

"Pingmei and Hualan?" Madam Chai and the master of the Chai family looked at each other and nodded repeatedly, "Okay! That's good!"

Chun Ming Fang,

Huyan's house,

An-mei and her mother-in-law, Mrs. Pan, were sitting in the house.

An Mei looked at the gift list with some pain in her heart and said, "Mom, when I go to the Lu family, I have to give these expensive things to the Chai family too!"

Madam Pan sighed and said, "An'er, our family was in trouble before, and the gifts sent to our family by the Chai and Rong families were not insignificant. Today is the wedding of the eldest son of the Chai family, so we should give a return gift of the same kind."

An Mei sighed and said, "Well! How happy I am to receive a gift, how painful it is to return it!"
