Do you know: I am Xu Jiazi

Chapter 610 Qiluo Pearl Shoes [Thank you! Goodbye! 41K owed]

"Look at the material used. It's not very luxurious. It really looks cheap."

Thinking about what Molan said on the road, Chang Feng wanted to speak.

However, seeing his father Sheng Hong looking at Molan with a smile on his face and a look of great satisfaction, Chang Feng finally said nothing.

"Feng'er, come here and let your father take a look."

Sheng Hong smiled and waved to Chang Feng.

When Chang Feng came to the side, Sheng Hong asked, "What did the scholar tell you in the academy today?"

Chang Feng bowed slightly and said, "Father, the scholar has been talking about the situation in the north these days, and often asked his son and his classmates to deduce the possible changes in the three parties of Northern Liao, Mongolia and Jin."

"And if there are such changes in the north, how should our dynasty deal with it?"

Hearing this, Sheng Hong nodded repeatedly and said, "The scholar has profound thoughts. Feng'er, how do you answer this?"

Afterwards, the father and son chatted for a while, mostly Sheng Hong giving Chang Feng instructions.

After the maids from Linqi Pavilion had prepared the meal, Sheng Hong continued before the meal: "Your sister Shulan will be getting married in a few days, and you and Changbai will go to the Yu family to see her off."

Chang Feng was about to stand up to respond, but Sheng Hong waved his hand and asked him to sit down: "Before your father came, your grandmother told you that the guest who went to the Yu family that day was of distinguished status, and you brothers should be more careful and not lose the dignity of our Sheng family."

Chang Feng stood up and said with a smile, "Father, I saved it! Brother Xu Wu was also at Yu's house that day and he would take care of me and my second brother."

Sheng Hong smiled and nodded, motioning Chang Feng to sit down.

Afterwards, the family of four happily had lunch.

time goes by,

It's June now.

The sun in the sky is getting higher,
The sunlight shines brighter and brighter.

The number of summer cicadas lying on the branches seemed to have increased, and their calls were louder and more noisy than before.

The last hour of Si (11:00 noon)
The sun began to get a little scorching.

Sheng Family Academy Yard,

inside the house,

The dark brown floor and tables and chairs were being wiped carefully by the old woman.

A fine gauze to block mosquitoes was hung on the wall, fluttering slowly in the breeze.

What was different from the previous few days was that the school was empty today except for the cleaning woman.

After finishing cleaning, the old woman from the Sheng family wrung out the rag, put it on the handle of the wooden bucket, and walked out of the yard carrying the bucket.

Out of the yard,

Today, the Sheng family is much quieter than usual, and the stables for parking carriages and horses are empty.

Not far from the stables,
Near the gate of Sheng family,

The doormen and servants no longer looked as active as usual. They were all sitting on a bench, fanning themselves with palm-leaf fans and eating the latest fruits out of boredom.

at the same time,

In the outer city of Bianjing, in the southeast direction is Dunjiaofang.

Near the Sheng Family Mansion,

on the street,
Xu Zaijing rode on a small black horse and placed an exquisite folding fan on his head to block the sun that was burning his scalp.

On one side of Xu Zaijing was Qi Heng, and on the other side was the newly promoted clan member Zhao Weigan, with Qingyun and Buwei following behind him.

The two of them accompanied Xu Zaijing to deliver the wedding gift.

The reason for Qi Heng was that his grandfather, the Marquis of Xiangyang, had always been carefully cared for by the old medical officer Yu, who had saved him from many illnesses.

Zhao Weigan was killed because his mother, niece, and a group of women, children, the old and the young, fled all the way from Lulong in Northern Liao for more than a thousand miles to Bianjing. After Zhao Weigan received the reward and breathed a sigh of relief, he fell ill.

It happened that Yu Huguang was on duty in the palace during those days. In order to show honor and favor to the Zhao family, the palace sent the imperial physician Yu Huguang.

After a diagnosis and treatment, the disease was cured.

In order to express his gratitude and make friends with the nobles in the capital, Zhao Wei came to join in the fun and help.

But the climate in Bianjing and Lulong was slightly different, and Zhao Wei, who was feeling very hot, dared to fan himself non-stop.

"hiss!"

Qi Heng, who was riding a horse nearby, reached out his hand, smiled and touched the little black horse under Xu Zaijing's seat, then retracted his hand.

The little black colt's fur was shiny and dark in color, and was now a little hot from the sun.

Xu Zaijing smiled at the funny Qi Heng and said, "Yuan Ruo, you seem to be in a good mood along the way."

Grinning, Qi Heng looked at Xu Zaijing in confusion: "Brother Jing, do I have it?"

Buwei, who was standing behind him, looked at Wei Xiaoqingyun awkwardly.

My own young master had "I am very happy" written all over his face, but he actually asked back.

Xu Zaijing smiled and nodded.

Qi Heng looked at the streets and houses around him, then looked at the scorching sun above him, and said with a smile: "I, I haven't given any gifts to urge the bride to get married, so this is a little new."

"Hmm." Xu Zaijing responded.

Zhao Weigan on the other side wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Wu Lang, I heard that you have recommended several brave generals in the army in recent years. Look at me."

Xu Zaijing smiled and shook his head, saying, "Brother Gan, you have only been in the Great Zhou for a short time. The court will never let you go to the front line."

"I know this, but now everyone still doesn't believe me." Zhao Weigan said with some disappointment.

Looking at Zhao Weiga's expression, Xu Zaijing nodded and said, "Brother Gan, there is the reason you said! But this is to protect you and others."

"There will always be opportunities in the future," Xu Zaijing added.

"Ah."

When the three of them were talking,
Not far ahead,
In the shade under a big tree tied with red silk, someone stood up and ran towards the main courtyard of the Sheng family.

quickly,

Sheng Wei and Sheng Hong, dressed in new clothes, appeared at the gate, followed by Chang Bai and other younger generations.

After the greetings and greetings, Xu Zaijing and three others, who came to present gifts urging them to get ready, were welcomed into the courtyard.

On the way to the men's seat, Qi Heng in the crowd scanned the yard.

When Qi Heng saw Minglan standing behind the bamboo shade curtain in the corridor with Pinlan and Rulan, and looking out, a smile instantly broke out on his face.

Coincidentally, Molan happened to be holding a round fan and appeared behind Minglan. When she looked over here, she happened to see Qi Heng's brilliant smile.

Qi Heng was in a good mood and smiled and nodded to several Lans generously.

The three Lans who were laughing quickly retreated behind the bamboo curtain, while Molan blushed and bowed to Qi Heng.

When I looked up, Qi Heng had already walked away with the crowd.

Behind the bamboo curtain in the corridor,
Pinlan looked at Rulan and Minglan with some confusion in her eyes and said, "Is that man Young Master Qi? Why is he smiling at us for no apparent reason?"

Minglan pursed her lips and shook her head with Rulan.

Molan waved her round fan shyly, raised her chin slightly, and glanced at the three Lans.

"Sister Molan, what's wrong with your face? It's so red!" Pinlan turned her head and asked in confusion.

Molan waved the round fan in her hand at a faster frequency, and said with a wandering look, "It's too hot every day."

Rulan curled her lips and rolled her eyes at Molan secretly.

"Oh! Let's go, let's go to the inner courtyard and tell our aunts and the others." As she said that, Pinlan pulled the two Lans towards the inner courtyard.

Coming to the veranda near the main house in the inner courtyard,

The three Lans slowed down their pace, straightened their manners, looked at each other, and then walked into the house together.

Three orchids at a glance,
The room was filled with elegant people, and many women in fine clothes sat on embroidered chairs and cushions. Sitting at the top were the two old ladies of the Sheng family, and on the two sides below were Wang Ruofu and the somewhat fidgety Li Madam.

Near the two,

In addition to the several daughters-in-law of the Feng family of Chengguogong and the family of Mr. Liu, who was of the same age as Sheng Hong,
There are also the daughters-in-law Xie and Hualan from the Yongyi Marquis's mansion,

Pingmei, the daughter-in-law of Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, and Mrs. Pan and her daughter-in-law Anmei from the Huyan family.

Xie Rui, who married into the Xiong family of Earl Kang'an, sat behind Mrs. Xie. Next to her was Ni Qiqiu, the eldest lady of the Viscount Zhu family. Next to Ni Qiqiu sat her beautiful sister-in-law Xiaodie.

Near these nobles and the ladies of the relatives' families, Wang Ruofu's elder sister, Kang Wang, put away her usual sarcastic look, and sat with her daughter Kang Yuner, smiling and accompanying them at the seat farthest away from the Feng family.

After the three Lans came in and exchanged greetings, Ru Lan smiled and said, "The second batch of gifts from the Yu family has arrived. They were sent by Brother Xu Wu, Brother Yuan Ruo, and another brother I don't know."

Seeing that Rulan was not afraid of the stage, Wang Ruofu and Mother Liu smiled together.

The old lady smiled and waved her hand, saying, "It's so hot, everyone is sweating. Go and wipe the sweat off the children."

After a busy day,

The women in the house continued to talk.

The three Lans and Mo Lan, who came in later, walked behind the crowd and found an embroidered cushion to sit on.

Xiaotao and Minglan whispered a few words, then walked over to Qingcao and Qingzhi who were talking. Qingzhi's face was still a little red at this time.

Minglan sat on the embroidered cushion for a while, then she saw Xiaodie beside Ni Qiqiu and waved at her.

After Minglan walked over with a smile, Xiaodie took Minglan's hand and whispered, "Miss, how are you doing recently?"

"Don't worry, Sister Xiaodie. My wife is doing well recently. If she gets hot, she has some ice cubes ready to cool her down." Minglan said, "Where's my nephew? Is he obedient at home?"

Xiaodie smiled and shook her head: "He's a troublemaker. By the way, do you like the things that were sent to the mansion to make veils?"

Minglan nodded repeatedly: "Yes! Grandmother said that I look good in that veil."

When the two talked,
Pingmei, who was sitting in the front, looked back twice, then leaned over to Hualan and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I remember that the fifth sister will be coming of age next year, right?"

Hualan, who was called sister-in-law, smiled and pursed her lips, then looked back at Rulan, Tong Pingmei nodded and smiled, "Sister is not wrong."

Ping Mei nodded and sighed, "I haven't seen my three sisters for a while. They all look prettier now, but..."

Hualan looked at Pingmei with confusion in her eyes.

Pingmei smiled and looked at her sister-in-law Xie, and said, "But, it seems that there is no one who is prettier than my brother's wife."

Hearing this, Hualan felt embarrassed for a moment and didn't know what to say. Then she looked at Pingmei with a reproachful look.

"Sister-in-law, am I telling the truth? Look, Hualan is still glaring at me like that." Pingmei and Xie said with a smile.

Xie shook her head and smiled without saying anything.

After Hua Lan calmed down, she said, "Sister, actually my sixth sister hasn't grown up yet. I can't say for sure about this in the future."

Pingmei turned her eyes and looked back at Minglan, nodding and saying, "Yes, judging from the appearance of that Wei Xiaoniang, it is hard to say what Minglan will look like when she grows up."

Male guests,

Xu Zaijing and Qi Heng have known everyone in the Sheng family for a long time.

There is nothing that cannot be relaxed at the table.

After eating a few fruits soaked in well water, Xu Zaijing looked at Sheng Hong and said with a smile, "Uncle, I went to the Yu family to make the bed yesterday. Old Master Yu and the elders of the Yu family were very satisfied."

Sheng Hong smiled, revealing two dimples, and said, "Oh? Qi Lang is a little young, but he went to the Yu family to help his cousin press the bed, and she was actually very satisfied?"

Xu Zaijing and Qi Heng smiled at each other and said, "Yes. They said that yesterday, at a young age, Brother Qian behaved very well in the Yu family. He said auspicious words without missing a single word, and his tone was up and down, which made the Yu family members laugh so hard that they couldn't stop."

"Hahaha, there is such a thing! I guess it's because mother taught me well." Sheng Hong said with a smile.

They talked for a while.
After lunch, Xu Zaijing and Qi Heng returned to Yu's house under the scorching sun.

After the hottest time of the day (1:00 to 3:00 p.m.),
in the afternoon,
The Yu family's wedding procession arrived at the gate of the Sheng family's main house with music and dance.

After a lively

Sheng Jia Shulan got into the bridal sedan.

The wedding procession returned to the Yu family's home, and after the bride and groom had their wedding ceremony, there was some commotion.

Xu Zaijing and others are easier to deal with, as they haven't gotten married yet. We can keep some time for them today so that we can meet again in the future.

However, several of Zhu Qinghu's comrades were in a big fuss. After all, they had their bones broken by a powerful figure from the former Baigao several years ago, and Yu Huguang had given them "special care".

In a word, it can be regarded as 'repaying kindness with enmity'.

The sun sets in the west,

Dunjiaofang,
Sheng Family House,

Relatives who came to celebrate were all sitting in the cool hall and enjoying the banquet.

Teams of maids carrying dishes and fruit plates went in and out of the rooms in a very orderly manner.

In a wing room,

After the toast, Mrs. Li, who had been busy for half a day, finally had the chance to sit down, relax and take a break.

After taking the iced drink from her personal nurse, Madam Li took a big sip and said, "What do you think of the girl from the Kang family?"

Mrs. Li was born in a merchant family. Although her personal nanny was not very powerful, she was also good at judging people.

"Madam, I have been keeping an eye on that girl since she came. Judging from her eyes, words and actions, it is just as Madam Wang said. She is not like her biological mother, Lady Kang Wang, and she looks like an honest person."

Madam Li put down the teacup and said hesitantly, "Is this girl pretending to be like this?"

"Madam, you can fake your words and actions, but you can't fake your eyes. Just now, the maid in charge of the Kang family's lady's banquet also said that the girl is kind to the servants."

After the personal mother finished speaking, Mrs. Li said softly: "I'm still a little unsure."

The personal nurse said, "Madam, we paid the Kang family's maids and servants to ask them before, and they all said the same thing."

"As the saying goes, even a broken ship still has three thousand nails. Although the Kang family has fallen, and Kang Yuaner has caused such a big disaster, the Kang family is, after all, a family of scholars and officials for generations. Kang family Jiner will also be promoted to an official position in the future."

"That Miss Yun'er is also the granddaughter of that old lady Wang. Uncle Wang is a high-ranking official in the state. With this relationship, our brother Wu will always receive some protection and benefits."

Madam Li: "What you said makes sense, so let's make it like this?"

in the afternoon,

Jiying Lane,
Shengjia, Shouantang.

After drinking some wedding wine, Madam Sheng sat on the Luohan chair and reached out to take the hangover drink handed to her by Fang Mama.

"The lady is here."

"Mom, happy news!" Wang Ruofu walked in with Mother Liu, smiling.

"Has Changwu and Yuner's marriage been decided?" the old lady said with a smile.

"Mother, you."

"When the lady got into the carriage, she laughed so heartily that I, an old woman, guessed it."

Wang Ruofu smiled and said, "Just as mother said."

"Has the date been set?" asked the old lady.

Wang Ruofu smiled and said, "My eldest sister-in-law said that Changwu and Yuner are not too old, so there is no need to rush. We can send a rough invitation this year and set the wedding date next year."

The old lady nodded: "We need to wait and see."

Wang Ruofu asked in confusion: "Mother, what are you waiting for?"

The old lady smiled and said, "Suqin, give the lady a drink to sober her up."

After leaving Shou'an Hall, Wang Ruofu glanced at Mother Liu and said, "Just now, what did mother mean?"

Madam Liu whispered, "Madam, your sister-in-law from our eldest house is watching Miss Kang's Yuan'er to see if she will get into trouble again."
