Do you know: I am Xu Jiazi

Chapter 330: Uncle’s Luck [Thank you all for your support! Goodbye! ]

Chai Zhengzheng knew a lot about the young nobleman in Bian Jing who was on good terms with Xu Zaijing.

Yongchang Marquis Mansion is a noble family in Bianjing. Just based on Miss Wan's status
Chai Zhengzheng glanced at Tingyi and said, "How could Madam Wu agree to this?"

Ting Yi curled his lips and whispered, "It's okay to be a concubine in the Marquis's Mansion! If nothing else, she is still beautiful!"

Chai Zhengzheng nodded, turned around and smiled at Miss Wan.

At this time,

A fast-moving small boat came over from the Dalonglou ship, and at the bow was a military officer dressed as a lieutenant.

Seeing the military officer coming, the ladies on the shore all covered themselves with their fans.

After the military officer placed his winning bet at the finish line and left by boat,
The ladies in the tent of Duke Qi's mansion came out, ready to watch the championship at Jinming Lake.

Looking at the boat going away, Chai Zhengzheng asked in a low voice:
"Whose company is this conductor from?"

Tingyi imitated his second brother Gu Tingye's posture and rubbed his chin with his index finger. Before he could say anything, he was seen by Nanny Chang.

Nanny Chang took a few quick steps and came to Gu Tingyi, saying, "Sister Yi! Put your hands down and pay attention to your manners."

After saying this, Nanny Chang looked at the ladies around her.

Gu Tingyi nodded awkwardly, then his eyes lit up, and he pulled Madam Chang's sleeve and asked, "Madam, whose family is that commander from?"

After a moment's thought, Nanny Chang said with a firm but somewhat disdainful tone:

"Uncle Huixian's Tian family! Tsk!"

"I heard that their ancestors followed the first generation of Tuoxi Hou and commanded the navy, and participated in the war to destroy the country."

Chai Zhengzheng nodded and whispered, "Is this related to the Empress's family?"

Looking at Mrs. Bai beside her, Nanny Chang glanced at Chai Zhengzheng approvingly and continued in a low voice:
"I heard that the eldest daughter of the Tian family married into the Dongchang Marquis's mansion and is now the Dongchang Marquis's wife!"

Gu Tingyi exclaimed softly and said:
"Ah? Isn't that my eldest brother's aunt?"

Nanny Chang snorted with some disdain and said, "Humph! Yes! It's their family."

Ever since Gu Tingyi was old enough to understand, although the Marquis of Dongchang's Mansion was in Bian Jing, his elder brother Gu Tingyu had never visited his maternal grandparents during the Chinese New Year.

Nanny Chang continued in a low voice:

"I heard that after the Huyan family got into trouble, the Tian family sought help from the ancestor of the Tan family, the Duke of Anguo, and used the connections of the Marquis of Dongchang and the Marquis of Tuoxi to ask for help from His Majesty and the Queen, and got this job."

The two girls nodded in sudden realization.

Then Chai Zhengzheng asked in a low voice:
"Mammy, the Anguogong Tan family is the one that was beaten up by the Jin warriors and is looking for trouble with the Xu family, right?"

Nanny Chang smiled and nodded, and continued, "I heard."

Although, the Huyan family has been stripped of the title of Marquis of Jinghai,

However, Huyan Hai was still serving as the naval commander in Dengzhou, so there was still a Huyan family tent by the Jinming Lake.

Location?
It’s neither good nor bad, you can see some winning dragon boats in the tent.

In the tent, Madam Pan and the sisters-in-law from the third and fourth rooms sat at the top.

Sitting at the bottom was the daughter-in-law of the third room.

Although Anmei's family is the most honorable now, she did not go over her eldest sister-in-law and sit in the seat closest to Madam Pan.

Outside the tent, a maid came in and said, "Madam, the lucky bamboo poles have been placed."

Mrs. Pan smiled and nodded.

The sister-in-law of the third room sighed and said:
"In previous years, they all came from our house, alas."

After these words were spoken, the lady in the fourth room in the tent also looked a little regretful: "Yes, it was so glorious!"

As the two of them spoke, their eyes were vaguely looking at An Mei, who looked gloomy.

Madam Pan, who had a similar temperament to Madam Bai, picked up the tea, looked at the Jinming Lake outside the tent, took a sip, and said:

"Sister-in-law, it's better not to think about the past."

"The eldest and Bao families committed such a terrible crime, but our young family is still able to serve in the army. This is already a great favor from the emperor! We also owe others a huge favor."

Hearing what Madam Pan said, the two people who were talking in the tent smiled awkwardly.

After Madam Pan put down the teacup, she looked around at her sisters-in-law, daughters-in-law, and nieces-in-law, and said slowly:

"My sisters-in-law kept asking me where I went during those nights when I was waiting for the punishment."

"Now I can talk to my sister-in-law. I accompanied Madam Sun to the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion."

"Then, he followed into the palace."

"Without the title and the emperor's favor, no matter if it's the Huyan family or the Pan family, our maternal families, everything will be like fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered."

Madam Pan spoke slowly, and the faces of the people in the tent gradually became ugly, as if they had returned to the time when the incident in the Marquis' Mansion had just happened and there were swords hanging over their heads.

Madam Pan continued, "Guess, sisters-in-law, who wants to eat fish?"

After saying this, Madam Pan looked outside the tent.

The daughters-in-law of the fifth room were fine, but the mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law of the third and fourth rooms all drank tea awkwardly to hide their embarrassment.

Who is it? The powerful nobles in the capital!
You have to know that the families of several people in the tent had been protected by the Jinghai Marquis' Mansion since they married into the Huyan family.

When the incident happened in the Marquis' Mansion, many people who relied on "big trees" to make money from their mother's family's business came to seek opportunities for "cooperation".

If the Fifth House had not still been in charge of the Dengzhou navy, there would have been no mishaps with the marriage with the Xu family.
In addition, Marquis Tuoxi and Marquis Ningyuan were secretly supporting the Huyan family.

Otherwise, their mother's family's business might really be swallowed up by someone.

At this time, rumbling drum sounds were heard outside the tent, and it was obvious that the competition between the small dragon boat and the tiger-head boat had begun.

"Let's go out and take a look."

After Madam Pan finished speaking, the women in the tent walked out as if they had been pardoned.

Mrs. Pan walked at the back and looked at her daughter-in-law An Mei. She asked with concern, "An'er, what's wrong?"

An Mei smiled and said, "Mother, I just feel a little dizzy."

Madam Pan thought for a moment, glanced outside the tent, and asked in a low voice: "An'er, do you feel any discomfort in your chest?"

An Mei nodded.

A flash of surprise flashed across Madam Pan's eyes, and she said:

"Come on, let's not look at this thing anymore and go home with me."

An Mei looked at her mother-in-law in confusion.

Mrs. Pan held Anmei's hand and walked directly behind the tent, praying as she walked, hoping that her guess was true.

Amid the rumbling of drums,
On the water between the Linshui Palace and the noble tent,

A bamboo pole with a lottery number hanging on it swayed gently with the waves in the Jinming Lake.

In the distance, several small dragon boats with flags of various companies were rapidly approaching the bamboo pole.

Looking at the little dragon boat in the front with the flag of "Yongchang Liang" flying,
Xu Zaijing looked at Liang Liulang beside him. He was a little too happy.

After exchanging a glance with Xu Zaijing, Liang Han smiled excitedly:
"Brother Jing, thank you, brother! Wow! So fast!"

Xu Zaijing glanced at Jin Mingchi and said, "Liu Lang, don't be too happy too soon."

The little dragon boat with the flag of "Hui Xian Tian" overtook them.
The target was not the bamboo pole that was shaking more and more violently in the water due to the approach of many dragon boats, but the Liang family's dragon boat nearby.

"I am such a good person."

Amid Liang Han's angry shouts and curses, the dragon boats of the Liang and Tian families slowed down together.

The small dragon boat named "Tan" that was following behind instantly overtook it, and a man on it was about to reach out to grab the bamboo pole.

But what was surprising was that because of the impact of the waves stirred up by the boat, the shaking bamboo pole accidentally avoided the man's hand.

Before everyone could react,

A small dragon boat with a flag bearing the Chinese character "Zhang" approached quickly and knocked the small dragon boat bearing the Chinese character "Tan" off balance.
A young nobleman on the dragon boat named "Zhang" predicted the swing of the bamboo pole and picked up the prize neatly.

"Wow!!!"

On the boat, Zhang Fangling shouted excitedly!
After shouting, he raised the prize in his hand and waved to Xu Zaijing and others.

Liang Han panted and said:
"Great! Really great! Fortunately, it was Brother Zhang who got the upper hand, otherwise I would be sickened to death by that guy! That thief from the Tian family! Just wait for me!"

As he spoke, Liang Han followed Xu Zaijing's footsteps and walked towards the direction of the small dragon boat led by Zhang Fang.

Xu Zaijing and a group of other young noblemen, laughing and joking, soon arrived at the tent of Jinyang Marquis Tao's family.

Before, Xu Zaijing asked his sworn brother Lu Zezong why he called Zhang Fangling that way.

It turned out that this Marquis of Jinyang was the same Marquis of Jinyang, Tao, who had drugged and disfigured the daughter of Marquis of Jinxiang, Ma, in an attempt to disrupt their marriage a long time ago.

The lady who was sent to the Shenjiesi for drugging someone only had one daughter.
Therefore, the title of Marquis of Jinyang was finally inherited by the closest relative, the younger brother of Lady Tao, the Duke of Lian.

Lady Lian, Duke of Lian, is the eldest sister and has three younger brothers.

The girl Zhang Fangling was going to marry was the youngest daughter of Madam Tao's youngest brother.

That is, she is the daughter of Uncle Lu Zezong and the cousin of my deceased father.

Therefore, Lu Zezong had to call Zhang Fangling his cousin.

Fortunately, they were discussing their own issues, otherwise Xu Zaijing would have been taken advantage of by Zhang Fangling.

Thinking about these,

A group of young nobles around Xu Zaijing came to the door of Jinyang Marquis' tent and whistled and made a noise.

Seeing the ladies from various families walking towards them, that is, on the other side of the tent door, the young men whistled even louder.

This action caused the noble ladies to murmur in disdain behind their fans.

At the same time, as the spring breeze blew, I didn't know whether it was the fragrance of flowers or the scent of ladies fumigating their clothes. The smell was either refreshing or rich, and it was all pleasant.

Qiao Jiulang was sniffing with an intoxicated look on his face, which caused many girls to roll their eyes at him.

then,

They made a fool of themselves in front of others, and were glared at by their mothers, aunts and uncles who were following behind the noble ladies.

Some of the young men restrained themselves instantly, like Qiao Jiulang;

Some lost their composure for a moment, like Gu Tingye, the sound of his whistle changed.

The eldest lady of Jinyang Marquis Tao's family had already stood at the door of the tent with her little daughter, smiling.

Subsequently,

Zhang Fangling came to the shore,

He was very respectful and prepared to hand the peony jade carving with beautiful meaning to the eldest lady of the Tao family.

Of course, Zhang Fangling did not make a big joke like Hu Yanjiong did last year, where he should have called himself "nephew" but called himself "son-in-law".

Among the noble ladies, Rong Feiyan, who was wearing a light-colored spring gown, also covered her mouth and nose with an exquisite round fan.

Her dark eyes moved back and forth.

Sometimes he would talk to the girl from Shoushanbo Huang's family, sometimes he would turn around and say a few words to Tingyi on the other side, and he would also explain to the noble ladies from other families who came later that "you are not late".

Then, while the time is right to speak,
Rong Feiyan would glance at the peony jade carving in Zhang Fangling's hand.
Then he looked at someone among the boys opposite him with an ambiguous look.

Then she turned her eyes back to the jade carving and said a few words to others.

This action repeats itself over and over again.
When Rong Feiyan's eyes met someone's, Rong Feiyan blushed but still had the courage to glare back fiercely, because she was "protected" among the noble ladies and their wives.

Of course, Rong Feiyan only had the courage to glare at him.

Seeing Qi Heng looking at her curiously, Rong Feiyan's eyes floated up to the sky as soon as she saw him.

On the other side, Xu Zaijing, who was stared at inexplicably, shook his head and turned his eyes away.
He saw Gu Tingyi and Chai Zhengzheng holding round fans, looking at the jade carvings and whispering behind the fans.

I don't know what he said, but Gu Tingyi patted Chai Zhengzheng.
Then the two girls in the crowd pushed each other and started laughing.

Qi Heng tugged at Xu Zaijing's sleeve and said:
"Brother Jing, why do you think they keep looking at me?"

Xu Zaijing looked sideways, then he straightened Qi Heng's crooked hairpin and said:
"Because you are so handsome, brother Heng."

The things were in the hands of the Tao family.
After completing his mission, Zhang Fangling was stared at by a group of women, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
Seeing the female official sent by the Queen coming over here, Zhang Fangling bowed to the female relatives.

Then he shouted to Xu Zaijing, Gu Tingye and other friends: "Alright! Let's go!"

While Zhang Fangling was delivering the things, the sailors from other companies were also resting.

As Liang Han followed, he waved to his sailors. When the dragon boat came over, Liang Han said a few words angrily.

Afterwards, the small dragon boat passed the large dragon boat again and sailed back to the vicinity of the Five-Room Hall to prepare.

Xu Zaijing also turned around and walked towards his own tent. After all, the view there was really good.

Most of the ladies stayed where they were, asking about the approximate wedding dates of the Tao and Zhang families.

Xu Zaijing took a few steps forward and suddenly felt someone looking at him.

He looked back and saw Chai Zhengzheng standing beside Gu Tingyi and looking at him.

Seeing him looking back, Chai Zhengzheng smiled and bowed.

Ting Yi who was beside her also looked curiously in the direction of Chai Zhengzheng. After seeing that it was Xu Zaijing, Ting Yi smiled and squatted slightly.

Xu Zaijing nodded in greeting.

At this time, Qiao Jiulang rubbed his nose and said, "It smelled really good just now."

Liang Han raised his sleeves and said, "Jiulang, my clothes are also scented, you can smell it!"

"Go! Go! Go!"

after awhile,

The drums started again.

When the leading dragon boat of the Anguo Duke Tan family was about to reach the marker, they saw the dragon boat flying the Liang family's flag crashing straight into it.

After the collision, everyone on the small dragon boats of the Tan and Liang families were shaken.

Zhang Fangling, who was following behind, withdrew his hand just before he got the prize.

It would be too much to take both jackpots.
