Do you know: I am Xu Jiazi

Chapter 627 When did I oversleep [Thank you! Goodbye! I owe you 38k more]

Looking back at Xu Zaijing, Rong Feiyan, who was standing in front of the little horse, smiled and said, "Brother Xu Wu, I'll go back to the city first!"

"Goodbye." Xu Zaijing smiled and nodded.

Watching Rong Feiyan leaving from their side, Yun Xiang and Qing Yun hurriedly lowered their heads and bowed slightly.

The two maids following behind Rong Feiyan smiled and nodded in return, then caught up with their own girl.

After walking a dozen steps,

Rong Feiyan stepped onto the carriage by stepping on the horse stool.

Standing in front of the carriage, Rong Feiyan did not go directly into the carriage, but turned around and looked at Xu Zaijing.

In the morning light,
The light-colored luxurious cloak on Rong Feiyan was faintly shining, and together with her black hair tied into a bun, it made the girl's fair skin and picturesque features even more striking.

Looking at Xu Zaijing who was somewhat dazed not far away, Rong Feiyan smiled slightly, waved her hand, and then lowered herself into the carriage.

Yunmu looked at the maid of the Rong family who followed him into the carriage, thought about Rong Feiyan's grace just now, and touched his slightly cold cheek with a slight sigh.

quickly,

The sound of the coachman driving the horse was heard, and with the sound of rumbling wheels, the Rong family's carriage drove into the gate.

Xu Zaijing walked up to the little black colt, jumped on the horse, took another look at the Rong family's carriage, and then rode towards Jiying Lane.

Enter the city through Guangli Gate.
Xu Zaijing rarely comes to the southwest corner of the outer city.

Walking along the canal leading into the city, Xu Zaijing looked around at the scenery with a little curiosity.

suddenly,

Xu Zaijing fixed his gaze on the roadside not far ahead.

Qingyun was a beat slower than Xu Zaijing and also looked towards the roadside.

Seeing Xu Zaijing and Qingyun looking over, the middle-aged man who was looking at the group of people on the roadside ahead hurriedly bowed and looked up at the group of people.

Qingyun frowned, looked ahead in confusion, thought for a moment, and then a look of realization appeared in his eyes.

"Sir, this place is not far from Old Crow Lane. That person seems to be a client (tenant) of my mother-in-law's family."

Qingyun turned sideways and said to Xu Zaijing.

Xu Zaijing nodded.

After Hua Qing and Qing Yun got married, they took their biological mother to Quyuan Street. Qing Yun renovated the house in nearby Laoya Lane and then rented it out.

Wait until Xu Zaijing and his group come closer.

Qingyun bowed and didn't say anything, but just by hearing the middle-aged man's address, he confirmed that he was his tenant.

After some pleasantries, Qingyun politely declined the tenant's invitation to come over and have a look at the house, and then he rode his horse to catch up with Xu Zaijing in front.

After crossing two bridges over the canal, the scenery that came into view seemed somewhat familiar to Xu Zaijing.

The reason was that they had arrived near Qingfeng Tower in Jingzhongzhengdian, a restaurant that Xu Zaijing had visited several times.

The sun was rising.

Hasn't jumped out of the horizon yet,
Only certain high places in the city are reached by sunlight.

There are two streets away from Jiying Lane.

In a brothel on the roadside,

Gu Tingyang, who had been fooling around here all night, walked out with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, rubbing his waist while holding the servant's shoulder.

After stretching under the colorful pavilion at the entrance of the brothel, Gu Tingyang looked around.

After looking around a maid who was out shopping on the street, Gu Tingyang looked towards the south when he heard the sound of horse hooves.

then,

Gu Tingyang's eyes suddenly focused, he rubbed his eyes in surprise and looked over there again.

After seeing who it was, Gu Tingyang suddenly felt his knees go weak, not knowing whether it was because he had over-manipulated her last night or something else.

The servant of the Gu family who was following behind him quickly stepped forward to support him, thus preventing Gu Tingyang from collapsing on the ground.

Before the servant could speak, Gu Tingyang said urgently, "Go back, go back quickly!"

"Ah? Oh!" The servant was stunned, and hurriedly half-supported and half-dragged Gu Tingyang back to the brothel.

"Young master, what happened?" The servant looked outside and asked in confusion.

Gu Tingyang did not reply, but muttered to himself with a panicked look in his eyes: "This shouldn't be the case! Xu Zaijing, this evil star, should be studying with Gu Tingye from the first house at this time! Why is he here?"

"The fifth son of the Xu family?" The servant of the Gu family said embarrassedly.

"Hiss! Are you here to cause trouble for me? I rarely go near Panlou to avoid him!"

"This thief is going too far. He really thinks I'm afraid of him?!"

Listening to Gu Tingyang mumbling to himself with a fierce look in his eyes, the servant beside him was somewhat surprised at his own master's attitude.

But the servant who knew Xu Zaijing's skills touched his stomach where Qingyun had hit him before, and was about to persuade him.

"Let's go! Let's avoid their attack first and hide in the backyard!"

"Yes, son!"

Upon hearing this, the servant hurriedly supported Gu Tingyang and walked towards the back of the building.

Xu Zaijing rode his horse past the door of the brothel, took a quick look and continued walking forward.

"Young Master, I seemed to see someone appear under this brothel just now. He glanced at us and then retreated." Qingyun said, withdrawing his gaze from the brothel.

"Well, don't worry about it." Xu Zaijing said lightly.

Arriving at Sheng’s house,

Xu Zaijing took Yunxiang and walked towards the school courtyard.

Just crossed the threshold,
I saw a girl walking in front of me, followed by a maid.

Perhaps I heard the sound of footsteps.

The girl from the Sheng family in front looked back.
Looking at Xu Zaijing and Yun Xiang, Rulan stopped and looked surprised, with a hint of joy in her surprise.

Standing there waiting for Xu Zaijing to come over, Rulan pursed her lips, tilted her head and asked tentatively: "Brother Xu Wu, did you oversleep today too?"

Hearing this, Yun Xiang hurriedly pursed his lips, while Xi Que's face showed some embarrassment.

"Ah."

Seeing Xu Zaijing nodding, Rulan's eyes were filled with joy, and she hurriedly followed Xu Zaijing and walked towards the school.

"Scholar, the students are back."

Xu Zaijing bowed at the entrance of the school.

"Scholar, the students are here too." Rulan echoed behind Xu Zaijing.

Zhuang Xuejiu, who was sitting behind the table, took a deep breath, looked at Rulan hiding beside Xu Zaijing, shook his head slightly, and said, "Come in."

"Yes, academic."

After half an hour of class, the scholar announced a short break.

Gu Tingye turned around and looked at Xu Zaijing, and said, "Brother Jing, has Rongxian left Beijing?"

"Yeah." Xu Zaijing nodded.

Chang Feng, who was standing by, had some surprise in his eyes: "Brother Jing, I heard before that all the playboys in the capital were betting on when the young man from the Rong family would get 'ill'?"

Qi Heng turned around and waved his hand towards Bu Wei who was holding the teacup, indicating that he didn't need to come over. He asked in confusion: "Chang Feng, why are they betting that Rong Xian is sick?"

Gu Tingye smiled and said, "Yuan Ruo, do you even need to ask this? If Rong Xian is sick, he won't have to go to the poisonous miasma in the south."

Qi Heng was stunned and nodded towards Gu Tingye: "I see! I didn't expect Rong Xian to have such ambition."

Gu Tingye and Xu Zaijing looked at each other and shook their heads, saying, "Yuan Ruo, you have to wait until Rong Xian arrives in the south before you can praise him! It's not impossible that he got sick on the way!"

In the corner, Minglan, wearing a colorful hairband with gold thread, held a teacup in both hands, listening to the conversation of several people, looking around from time to time.

Xiao Tao, who was squatting beside him, whispered, "Miss, I heard that Master Xu Wu went to see off Rong's Erlang today."

Minglan nodded.

The sun rises and sets,

By the afternoon.

When school was over, Xu Zaijing and a few others walked out of the courtyard together.

"Sister Yunxiang, please wait for me." The magpie's voice came from behind.

Yun Xiang glanced at Xu Zaijing, and when she saw her master waving his hand, she smiled and stood there.

Xu Zaijing continued talking to his classmates as he walked outside.

On the way back to Quyuan Street.

"Deng Deng."

Xu Zaijing knocked on the carriage.

"Young Master?" Yun wanted to lift the car curtain.

"What does that girl Xi Que want to talk to you about?" Xu Zaijing asked.

Yun Xiang pursed her lips and said with a bit of embarrassment: "Sir, Xi Que wants to ask you when you will oversleep again."

Hearing this, Xu Zaijing rubbed his forehead helplessly. Yun thought: "And that's it."

Xu Zaijing was stunned: "What else?"

Yun Xiang nodded: "Yes! Because we gave those horses, the old lady said it's impolite not to return the favor, so she wants the three or four girls to think about what to bring back to our house."

"So, Xi Que asked you directly?" Xu Zaijing said with a smile.

"Well, the maids around Miss Molan and Miss Minglan are also listening nearby." Yun thought.

"What did you say?"

"I will ask you when I get back to the mansion."

"Smart." Xu Zaijing praised.

Yun Xiang smiled so much that his eyes curved when he heard that.

Quyuan Street,
Yong Yi Hou Mansion,

Yunxiang followed Xu Zaijing and walked towards the yard together.

"Sir, when we get to Sheng's house, what should I say to the three girls?"

Xu Zaijing waved his hand and said, "Anything is fine."

"Ah? Sir, you have been thinking about this all the time, and this is all you have thought about?" Yun Xiang looked up at Xu Zaijing and said.

"Well! Not something made by hand, anything that can be purchased."

"Yes, son."

Xu Zaijing actually wanted a knee pad on the way.

But I am afraid that if I ask for it too early, the "lucky omen" will be gone, which would be bad.

Turn around and come back,

When Xu Zaijing was exercising at the racecourse,
The inner and outer courtyards of the Marquis' Mansion were different from usual and started to get busy early.

After Xu Zaijing finished his training, he did not go to Sheng's house, but stayed at home to help.

The reason is that the Xu family is holding the sixth lady’s full moon banquet today.

Xu Minghua and Xu Zaiduan, who were supposed to welcome guests at the gate today, were thousands of miles away.

Zai Zhang and Xu Zai Jing will take this position.

In the Hou Mansion,
The horses that usually strolled around the racecourse were all put into the stables today.

After 8:00 am,

Outside the Hou Mansion,
A carriage carrying guests appeared at the intersection of Quyuan Street.

Looking at the carriage that turned in, Zai Zhang narrowed his eyes and said, "Xiao Wu, whose family are you from? Is it my eldest sister who is here?"

Xu Zaijing shook his head: "Our maternal grandparents' home."

"Oh!"

quickly,

The long convoy of horse-drawn carriages entered Quyuan Street, and there were many young men from the Sun family riding horses next to the carriages.

When the first carriage arrived at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, the curtain was moved aside by the nanny beside the carriage.

Looking at the two elderly people in the car, Xu Zaijing and Zaizhang hurriedly bowed deeply and said with a smile: "Grandfather, grandmother!"

The two silver-haired old men in the carriage smiled kindly. Old Madam Sun looked at her two grandchildren with joy in her eyes and said, "Good children, you will have a hard time today."

Zai Zhang smiled and waved his hands: "Grandma, it's nothing! It's easier than sitting in school!"

Hearing this, Madam Sun glared at Zai Zhang helplessly, then looked at Xu Zai Jing and said, "Jing'er, since your brother said so, you and I will go into the courtyard later and let him stay here to answer the call."

Xu Zaijing chuckled and said, "Grandma, if this were to happen, Mother would be very angry."

The old master of the Sun family patted his wife's hand and said, "Okay, let's not delay the children's work! Let's go into the yard."

The latter sentence was said to the Sun family's coachman.

Xu Zaijing and his brother bowed and smiled, watching the carriage enter the marquis's mansion.

Following them were Sun's aunts and cousins.

As before, the ones riding horses outside the carriage were the older cousins, while the younger ones sat in the carriage with their mothers.

The cousin outside was older. He got off the horse he was riding, bowed and talked to Xu Zaijing sensibly, then went in.

The children in the carriage leaned against the windows, chattering and calling "Uncle" and "Cousin".

Carloads of children passed by, and Xu Zaijing and Zai Zhang kept shouting, their cheeks becoming a little stiff from smiling.

I watched the children enter the mansion again.
Zai Zhang glanced at Xu Zai Jing and said, "Xiao Wu, have you recognized all your nephews and nieces?"

Xu Zaijing wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, thought about the children who had just appeared in his sight, and shook his head: "It's a bit difficult."

After talking for a while,
The Liang family's carriage from the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion drove over, and Liang Han, wearing new clothes, rode beside them on horseback.

Madam Wu lifted the carriage curtain, said a few words and entered the mansion. Liang Han threw the reins to the servant and stood beside Xu Zaijing, saying with a smile, "Brother Jing, I'll go in with you later."

Xu Zaijing didn't hesitate and nodded with a smile.

After a while

The carriage of Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion arrived at the gate. When the curtain was lifted, Gu Shixing in Mrs. Bai's arms excitedly shouted "Third Uncle, Little Uncle" and wanted to get off the car to play, but was directly "suppressed" by his mother Pingmei.

Like Liang Han, Gu Tingye got off the horse and talked on the side.

Following the Gu family's carriage was the carriage of the Duke of Qi's Mansion. Princess Pingning just smiled at the Xu Zaijing brothers and went straight in.

After a conversation, Qi Heng found out that the male guests were all at the door, so he sat next to Liang Han and talked with him.

While Qi Heng was speaking, he kept looking at the passing carriages, as if he was looking for something.

The eldest lady of the Viscount Xie family, a relative of the Xu family, came today with her youngest daughter who was married to the Xiong family. Like Princess Pingning, she just lifted the curtain of the carriage and smiled at Xu Zaijing and the others.

Later, the fourth sister An Mei and her mother-in-law, Madam Pan, also entered the mansion. Xu Zaijing's aunt, who married into the Zhu family, also came to the Xu family with her daughters-in-law Ni Qi Qiu and Xiao Die, riding in two carriages.

As the sun rises,

There were more and more horse-drawn carriages on Quyuan Street.

Several wives of high-ranking officials and dukes also entered the Xu family one after another.

Lu Zezong had already stood behind Xu Zaijing at this time, and from time to time he followed Xu Zaijing in bowing and calling people.

Liang Han, who was standing on the street and looking at the intersection, said with a smile, "The Rong family carriage is here!"

Gu Tingye asked doubtfully from behind Xu Zaijing: "Wulang, when you were seeing someone off yesterday, did you see Miss Feiyan?"

"What do you think?" Xu Zaijing asked.

Gu Tingye scratched his cheek and smiled.

Liang Han also hurried to Xu Zaijing's side.

quickly,

The Rong family carriage approached.

The eldest lady of the Rong family lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at Qi Heng and others with a puzzled look on her face. When she saw Xu Zaijing and others bowing, she just nodded.

Next to the eldest lady of the Rong family, Rong Feiyan's beautiful face was revealed. Looking at the dazed expressions of Liang Han and Lu Zezong, as well as Xu Zaijing who looked over, Rong Feiyan smiled slightly.

After watching the Rong family carriage enter the Marquis' Mansion, Lu Zezong pulled Xu Zaijing and said, "Brother, I see Sister Feiyan is looking at you."

"Zong'er, you are looking at me!" Liang Han said without turning his head.

"Oh, today Chai Jiajilang is here with you." Zai Zhang said from the side.

Everyone hurriedly looked towards the street.

Next to a luxurious and expensive carriage, Chai Bo was riding a horse and waving at them.

The carriage and horses arrived at the door,

Behind the curtain, Mrs. Chai looked at the people who were greeting and bowing at the door with a kind face.

Chai Zhengzheng in the car was also smiling at first, but when he saw Xu Zaijing's lips were a little dry because of talking, worry flashed across his eyes.

"Madam, cousin." Qi Heng smiled and bowed beside the car.

Chai Zhengzheng and his mother smiled and nodded. Madam Chai asked, "Yuan Ruo, when are you going in?"

Qi Heng was stunned, glanced at Chai Bo, and said with a smile: "Madam, I will wait a while."

"Yeah." Mrs. Chai smiled and lowered the curtain.

not far away,
In the second carriage,

Rulan lifted the carriage curtain, grinned, and said, "Mother, look! It's the Chai family's carriage! It's so big and luxurious!"

Wang Ruofu looked at Rulan helplessly: "Ruru, how can you be so reckless when you are out? Sit still!"

"Oh!"

Rulan looked outside again and then sat down like a lady.

"When you greet the gentlemen at the door, remember to smile without showing your teeth!"

"I know, mother!"
