Do you know: I am Xu Jiazi

Chapter 530: Joy and Disappointment [Thank you! Goodbye! I owe you 40k more]

at the same time,

To the stable,

The smoke and rising dust after the fire made it impossible to see what was going on inside.

suddenly,

Another frightened horse rushed out with no saddle on its back, only a bridle and reins.

Unlike the previous one, there was a figure holding the horse's neck next to the running frightened horse.

By the time everyone could see the man and the horse clearly, the figure beside the frightened horse had already swiftly climbed onto the horse.

The frightened horse ran wildly with its hooves raised. Although there was no saddle, the man who jumped on the horse felt like he was nailed to the horse's back.

"Sir, it's Alan!"

Qingyun, who was standing in front of Gu Tingye, Qi Heng and others to protect them, shouted.

"I saw."

After Xu Zaijing finished replying to Qingyun, he shouted, "Alan! Don't be so stubborn!"

"it is good!"

Alan, who was holding the horse's neck on horseback, shouted loudly, and then continued to talk to comfort the horse under him.

At this time,

"Beep beep beep"

There were two frightened horses running wildly back and forth in the martial arts field. After circling around, they passed by Xu Zaijing in a panic and tried to run towards the corridor.

see this scene,

Gu Tingye looked at Gu Tingyi under the corridor, and without saying a word, he pushed the limp Rong Xian into the arms of Rong's close follower, and he himself trotted over to get on the horse like Alan.

Before he could run behind Qingyun,

Xu Zaijing and Qingyun were already running towards the frightened horse, one after the other.

But, seeing Xu Zaijing and Qingyun running over,
The frightened horse became more and more frightened.
The horse that Xu Zaijing was chasing ran much faster, and the other horse was frightened and turned, running towards Rong Feiyan and the little black horse.

Xu Zaijing quickened his pace, grabbed the frightened horse's neck, and used the force to climb onto the horse.

With his legs clamped behind the horse, Xu Zaijing leaned forward and grabbed the bridle and reins flying in the air!
This frightened horse was not from the Xu family, and Xu Zaijing was not familiar with it, so he could not calm it down like Alan did.

In just a moment, the frightened horse came closer to the corridor.

Xu Zaijing saw it clearly.
Many noble ladies in the corridor had already stood up in panic and prepared to hide.

There were also maids and servants who opened their arms and shouted with fear on their faces, trying to scare away the frightened horses.

When a girl stood up, she accidentally knocked over the embroidered cushion and knocked over the teacup!
Some people pushed their sisters in front of them and hid behind them with a look of fear.

There were even some people who were not standing steadily and when they were pulling their companions' clothes, they stumbled and tore their clothes.

The girls were flustered.
There are also calm ones,
Gu Tingyi held the hand warmer in one hand and stretched out his arms to protect Zhang Jia Wu Niang and Chai Zhengzheng behind him.
Zhang Jia Wu Niang looked at Xu Zaijing who was holding the reins and shouted, "Brother Xu Wu, hit it! Hit it! Hit it hard!"

Chai Zhengzheng also held the hand warmer in one hand, and with the other hand he pulled Rulan to his side. At the same time, he had time to look at Xu Zaijing with interest.

"If it hurts, it won't dare to go crazy!"

When Zhang Jia Wu Niang shouted the latter sentence, her voice broke.

Wu Niang didn't finish her words.

"Woo!"

"Snapped!"

Xu Zaijing, who was riding on horseback, shook the reins in his hand vigorously.

He was quite strong, and after making a sound of breaking through the air with the reins, he whipped the frightened horse hard on the neck.

The frightened horse shook its head in pain and suddenly stopped with its front hooves, and the entire front half of the horse suddenly lowered.

The horse's back was slippery and there was no saddle. The inertia of the horse's sudden run and stop caused Xu Zaijing to fall forward from the horse's back.

"ah!"

"what!"

"careful!"

Many girls in the corridor screamed, and Zhang Jiawu Niang even grabbed Gu Tingyi's arm, wanting to come forward to help.

Before the girls could react from their surprise,
Xu Zaijing, who was falling forward, hugged the horse's neck with one hand. With the leverage, he could adjust his body in mid-air.

"Puff!"

While Xu Zaijing put his feet on the ground, he hugged the horse's neck and leaned his body towards the frightened horse.

Xu Zaijing had been playing with horses since he was a child. Before the frightened horse could react, it had already lost its balance with its head lowered, and fell to the ground with a neigh.

After struggling for a few times, the frightened horse calmed down when it saw that it was unable to get up. It lay on the ground, panting, and stopped moving.

Xu Zaijing held the frightened horse down for a while, and when he saw that it was no longer moving, he slowly let go and stood up.

"Brother Xu Wu, you are so awesome!" Zhang Jia Wu Niang shouted behind Gu Tingyi.

Xu Zaijing stroked the calming horse, tilted his head and smiled, nodded to Chai Zhengzheng, Gu Tingyi and Zhang Jiawu Niang, then led the standing horse towards the martial arts field.

at this time,

The frightened horses may hit the wall and faint, or be kicked and knocked to the ground by the little black colt, or be "pacified" like the horse in Xu Zaijing's hand, or calm down after running wildly for a while.

Anyway,

The martial arts arena actually became somewhat peaceful and calm.
Of course, we have to exclude the servants and coachmen who are screaming and shouting and trying to put out the fire in the distance.

Under the veranda,
Watching Xu Zaijing walking away with his horse,

"Pfft!"

Zhang Jiawu Niang, who was walking towards Rong Feiyan, suddenly laughed.

"Wu Niang, what are you laughing at?" Gu Tingyi asked while adjusting his clothes.

Chai Zhengzheng handed the hand warmer to Yunmu, withdrew his gaze from the little Liju and Rong Feiyan in front of him, and looked at Wu Niang in confusion.

"Hey, look, Brother Xu Wu's boots"

Wu Niang said with a smile in her tone.

"boots?"

Gu Tingyi asked doubtfully.

As they spoke, everyone looked towards Xu Zaijing's feet.

Sure enough, Xu Zaijing's walking posture was a bit strange, as if he was deliberately rubbing the ground with the soles of his feet.

"I guess it's because of the few steps that Brother Xu Wu took when he was chasing the frightened horse just now that his boots were broken!" Wu Niang said to Xu Zaijing.

The people around nodded.

Chai Zhengzheng and Gu Tingyi looked at each other, and Gu Tingyi and the maid beside him said, "Go, ask Qingcao if she has any boots ready! If not, give the ones that my brother has ready to wear to my fifth brother."

"Yes, girl!"

The maid of the Gu family bowed and turned to leave.

Feng's backyard,

Where the ladies are.

"Den!"

The stable wall collapsed, and the sound of it hitting the ground could be faintly heard.

This sound made everyone in the hall stop talking and look outside.

"Go and ask where the noise came from."

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Feng family gave the order in a solemn voice.

"Yes."

But, the Feng family's housekeeper mother hadn't left the house yet.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

The rapid metal knocking sound came again. "Why does it sound like the alarm of a fire somewhere?"

In the hall, Feng Ziyi, who married into the family of Changxing Bo Fu, stood up and said in surprise.

Most of the buildings in the city of Bianjing in the Great Zhou Dynasty were made of wood.

This winter is dry and dry.

Once there is a fire, if you are not careful it will burn into a large area and cause serious damage.

Hearing Feng Ziyi's words,

Everyone in the hall stood up and walked outside.

"Quick! Go and see what's going on!"

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Feng family said with a very ugly look on her face.

Talking
Someone in the hall had already walked outside, looking at the direction of the smoke, and couldn't help shouting, "Isn't that the direction of the martial arts arena? Our children are playing over there!"

As soon as this word comes out,
The faces of the ladies changed.

Princess Pingning walked quickly to the front, took a look, and then walked towards the martial arts field with an anxious look on her face.

The other ladies hurried to catch up.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Feng family walked quickly in the crowd and said to her mother beside her: "Go, hurry up and inform the old Duke."

Everyone stood slightly back.
Wang Ruofu, who had just been talking to Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Chai in the hall, was now supported by Hualan and followed Mrs. Sun, looking anxiously towards the place where the smoke was coming from.

The other side,
Madam Chai's eyes were also filled with worry. She seemed to be comforting herself, and she said to Madam Sun as they walked: "Madam, I am relieved that your brother Jing is here. Nothing should happen."

Sun smiled and nodded to Madam Chai. She glanced at Bai, who was being supported by Pingmei and Nanny Chang not far away, and said, "I hope it's not these rascals who are causing trouble."

After walking for a while,
A maid from the Feng family came towards them.

"What's going on in the martial arts arena?" Princess Pingning, who was walking in front, asked anxiously.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Feng family behind him said, "Hurry up and tell me!"

The Feng family maid bowed with an unpleasant expression and said hurriedly, "I don't know what happened just now, the horse in the stable suddenly got startled, knocked down the wall, and ran into the martial arts arena!"

"What? Frightened horses? How many horses? Are any boys and girls injured?" asked a middle-aged woman.

The Feng family maid didn't know what to answer and could only shake her head.

"Then why is there smoke and the warning sound of fire?"

The Duchess of England asked with a straight face.

"When I arrived, I heard someone shouting that the stable was on fire!"

The Feng family maid said.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Feng family threw her sleeves and said sternly, "Really? This is outrageous! Why are they so lazy today? Are there any guests injured?"

Hearing this question,

The maid of the Feng family glanced uncontrollably at the wife of Marquis Fuchang in the crowd.

Everyone followed the maid's line of sight and looked over.

"But Miss Rong is injured?" asked the eldest daughter-in-law of the Feng family anxiously.

"When I arrived, a frightened horse was running towards Miss Feiyan," said the maid of the Feng family with her head down.

“Ah?!!!” The wife of Marquis Fuchang’s face turned pale and her legs went weak and she was about to collapse to the ground. Fortunately, the lady next to her helped her up.

The faces of the ladies and young ladies who followed changed.

"go!"

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Feng family said this and walked towards the martial arts field.

The crowd walked around the huge Chengguo Mansion for a while.

I met several maids and maids coming out of the martial arts arena.

"What's the situation in the yard?" The eldest daughter-in-law of the Feng family asked as she looked at the people approaching.

"Madam, the brothers and sisters are here." said the nanny from Duke Yingguo Zhang's family.

Before he could finish his words, the wife of Marquis Fuchang asked anxiously, "Then, where is my Yan'er? Is she injured?"

Nanny Zhang and the maid beside her shook their heads. Nanny continued:

"Miss Feiyan just fell and soiled her clothes, but she's not seriously injured! The brothers and sisters are all fine! Those frightened horses either fainted or died, and most of them have calmed down."

As she spoke, Nanny Zhang also glanced at Sun in the crowd.

"Let's go and take a look."

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Feng family continued.

Wang Ruofu, who was standing next to Sun, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Nanny Zhang said.

Some of the maids and servants who came out followed and came close to their respective masters, while others seemed to have something to do and continued to walk somewhere else.

Nanny Zhang was beside the Duke of England, talking about what had just happened.
The ladies and young ladies then realized that it was this young man, Xu Jiawulang, who acted decisively and saved the person.

in the crowd,
Madam Chai smiled at Sun and said, "Sister Sun, look, I'm right, right?"

Sun smiled and nodded.

Wang Ruofu did not interrupt, but just stared at her mother-in-law and Mrs. Chai. After looking, she glanced at Hualan thoughtfully.

Watching her mother moving around with a questioning look in her eyes, Hualan shook her head slightly.

The maid from the Gu family also came up to Bai and said a few words about Xu Zaijing possibly wanting to borrow Gu Tingye's boots.

We are getting closer to the martial arts arena.
Gradually, noble ladies and their wives came out with their maids and nannies.

“Poor hospitality.”

When she met the noble ladies from various families, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Feng family would bow slightly and speak apologetically as she walked.

"Madam, you are too kind!"

"Ma'am, don't take it to heart!"

Many noble ladies said so.

A large group of ladies and ladies came into the courtyard.

Only then could he see clearly what was happening in the martial arts arena.

At the far end, a section of the wall of the stable had collapsed and was still smoking, and sounds of shouting commands and splashing water could be heard.

In the martial arts arena in the middle, the boys who were supposed to be playing Cuju were now carriages and horses from various families.

In the main room of the nearby veranda, the maids were chattering.
From time to time, someone would stand on tiptoe and look toward the stable in the distance.
After all, this was a scene of frightened horses, a fire, and a young nobleman from the capital putting out the fire. Such scenes were rarely seen in the rear house.

Seeing the mistresses rushing into the courtyard, the maids and servants all stood up.

After calling out "mother", "aunt", "auntie", "auntie", etc., the girls continued to chatter about what had just happened.

The wife of the Marquis of Fuchang looked at her daughter with dirty clothes with a look of distress on her face and said, "Yan'er, let me take a look!"

Holding Rong Feiyan's hand, and looking at her clothes that were still covered in dust after being beaten, the wife of the Marquis of Fuchang continued, "You have lived a life of luxury since you were a child, how could you have been so embarrassed!"

Rong Feiyan, whose hair was a little loose and frizzy, glanced at her from head to toe and said with a smile, "Mother, I'm fine!"

"Nonsense! The horse was running wild and almost trampled you. How could you be okay?"

Rong Feiyan smiled and shook her head: "Mother, it's really okay. Xu Jiawulang's mount knocked the frightened horse to the side. My daughter is not hurt at all."

The wife of the Marquis of Fuchang pursed her lips and nodded, then tapped Rong Feiyan's forehead with her finger and said, "You were almost trampled by a startled horse. I don't know why you are so happy!"

As she spoke, the wife of Marquis Fuchang looked at the fire in the distance, which had been put out. She was laughing and said to Xu Zaijing, Gu Tingye, Rong Xian and others who were walking towards her, "Your brother finally did something serious."

Rong Feiyan nodded repeatedly and said, "Mother, my daughter has received such a great favor from others. Should we find an opportunity to thank them?"

The wife of Marquis Fuchang hummed and said, "Go to the palace first and ask your sister, then we can choose a good day to express our gratitude."

"En!"

Rong Feiyan nodded repeatedly.

On the other side, looking at the happy and excited Rong Feiyan, Chai Zhengzheng sighed with some disappointment.
