Do you know: I am Xu Jiazi

Chapter 139 Pingmei’s direct concubines are different [Thank you for your support! Goodbye! 】

Xu Zaijing finished his morning exercises in the Sheng family yard. The scar-faced soldiers put away their bows and arrows and the simple archery targets that were about to be broken into pieces.

When he had been practicing for three quarters of an hour just now, Mrs. Sheng had already sent Fang’s mother over to explain the whole matter. Xu Zaijing could not say too much to the old lady. After all, the old lady now abides by the principle of obeying the husband to death, and now the head of the Sheng family It's Sheng Hong.

By the time Xu Zaijing returned to Shou'an Hall, the younger members of the Sheng family had already invited An back to their respective courtyards.

When entering the courtyard of Shou'an Hall, there was a young female envoy named Tong Bing. Lowering his head and entering the Shou'an Hall under the curtain, Xu Zaijing took a quick look and saw the old lady sitting on the couch in the main hall with a sullen face. Mrs. Wang had obviously washed herself and was sitting at the bottom with a somewhat restless look.

Qingcao has been taken care of by Fang's mother. It can be seen that Qingcao's hair style is much better than before, but Qingcao's expression is a little frightened.

Seeing Xu Zaijing come in, she looked over with helpless eyes.

When the old lady saw Xu Zaijing, she also forced a smile, and then said to Wang with a straight face: "Daughter-in-law, you can talk to Brother Jing."

Wang Ruofu stood up with embarrassment. When he saw Xu Zaijing, he quickly cupped his hands and said, "Aunt, why is this? You sit down and talk."

Wang Ruofu had always been a smooth man. She felt a little embarrassed when she saw that Xu Zaijing was so polite. She held a handkerchief in her hand and said, "Brother Jing, it's me! The housekeeper is not strict, so the woman in the kitchen rushes into him." The female envoy from the Hou Mansion was killed, and the official ordered her to be killed with a stick."

She secretly glanced at Mrs. Sheng's face and said with a fierce heart: "Brother Jing, I'll give it."

Seeing Wang's appearance, Xu Zaijing hurriedly took a few steps to stop Wang's squatting salute: "Aunt, you can't do it, you can't do it. It's really because my nephew was troublesome in the morning that he disturbed your peace. The whole reason lies with my nephew. , it’s not your fault.”

Feeling Xu Zaijing's sincere support and words, Wang Ruofu was a little moved. It was clearly Lin Sushuang's fault, but he asked Wang Ruofu to apologize. The grievances he suffered from his own officials suddenly came to his heart, and unexpectedly in his eyes. Looking at Xu Zaijing with tears in his eyes, he said sincerely: "Good boy."

"Cough." The old lady coughed, and Mr. Wang stopped.

"Jing'er, let's go to the back room for dinner." After the old lady said kindly to Xu Zaijing, when Xu Zaijing entered the back room, the old lady said to Wang Ruofu: "Pingmei, the eldest daughter of the Xu family, is coming later. You You know it, so don’t say anything about what you said about hitting people with a stick just now.”

Mrs. Wang nodded and said, "My wife knows."

"Dress up the children at home. The second son and eldest daughter of Ningyuan Hou Mansion are also coming."

Wang Ruofu looked surprised. The noble families she had met in the past few days were better than those in the previous decades. After all, she grew up in the countryside with her uncle and did not stay in Bianjing for long as an adult. So she married Sheng Hong. The ones she probably saw the most were from her sister-in-law Cheng Guogong's house, but that was only from a distance.

And now, this.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly went to inform her children. As she walked, she said: "The Liu family, hurry up and wash the set Mr. Dayuchuan sent from Youyang and move it to Shou'an Hall for later use."

In the back room of Shouan Hall, the very sensible Qingcao followed Xu Zaijing and walked in. Looking at the somewhat panic-stricken Qingcao Xu Zaijing asked, "What's wrong?"

"Sir, was that woman beaten to death because of me?" Qingcao asked with dull eyes.

"No." Upon hearing Xu Zaijing's answer, Qingcao raised his head in surprise, with a puzzled look on his face.

"Do you know why you were splashed with a basin of water?" Hearing Xu Zaijing's question, Qingcao lowered his head and said, "I must have disturbed that woman's good sleep, and she was so angry that she was like this."

"Is this happening in our house?"

Qingcao shook his head and said: "No, the maid on night duty at home always provides hot water when needed."

"Then who is this woman?" Xu Zaijing asked. Qingcao thought for a while and said: "It is dereliction of duty. But as a mother-in-law, how dare she do this to the female servant of the master's family."

Xu Zaijing said nothing and ate the sesame oil flower rolls in the old lady's room.

Looking at his young master's appearance, Qingcao lowered his head and thought, thinking about what happened this morning, with some confusion in his eyes.

Xu Zaijing looked at her confused eyes and said, "My mother said this morning that it was Miss Wei's female envoy who sent you back?"

"Yes, there is also Miss Six and her little servant girl Xiao Tao."

"How tall is Xiao Tao?"

"Young Master with this slave, are you saying that the old lady mistook this slave for Xiaotao? That's why it's like this."

"Then do you think the yard where Xiao Tao is is good?"

Qingcao shook his head.

"Is she still alive if she gets chilled by a splash of cold water at this time of year?"

"I saw how harshly the slaves were treated in that courtyard, maybe."

"Bullying the weak, neglecting one's duties, taking human life lightly, one should be beaten to death." After Xu Zaijing finished speaking, he glanced at the green grass and continued to eat a few flower rolls.

This Lady Guan assisted Zhou Xueniang throughout the entire drama. Later, when the Wei family was giving birth, she got a woman in the Wang family's house who knew how to deliver babies drunk and became an accomplice.

The final outcome was just a slap in the face from Sheng Hong's Will and Dongrong Movement, which caused little harm but little harm.

He also didn't expect that his little girl Qingcao would encounter such a situation, causing Mrs. Guan, who was used to being domineering with Lin Sushuang in the backyard, to hit the staff and die.

At this time, Mrs. Sheng walked in, with a helpless smile on her face and said: "Jing'er, my family has no rules, so you are laughing."

Xu Zaijing stood up and said, "Why did my aunt say this? The current head of the Sheng family is cousin Sheng Hong." It has nothing to do with you, aunt.

The old lady glanced at the green grass and saw that she was no longer panicked, and asked with a smile: "Little girl, do you want to come over?"

Qingcao hurriedly saluted and said: "Thank you, Madam, for caring, I thought about it."

"Okay, she's a good girl."

Just after saying a few words, Cui's mother outside said: "Old madam, Brother Jing's servant said he has something to report."

"Auntie, let me go out for a while."

After coming out of Shou'an Hall and coming to the front yard of the Sheng family, Xu Zaijing listened to Qingyun's guess and said, "Cousin, didn't you say that your sister in Paoze is called Erya?"

Zhu Qinghu frowned and said, "Mao Mao always said that his sister's name is Erya."

"What Qingyun said, I feel is right. Wei Xiaoniang is indeed originally from Chuzhou, so my cousin is waiting for news from me."

Around 10 o'clock in the morning

The brightly dressed Wang and Hualan were waiting for the visitors at the second door of the Sheng family.

Soon, two precious cars made of precious wood and bearing the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion brand were parked in front of the door.

A handsome young man came out of the first carriage. After getting off the carriage, he bowed and said, "I've seen the lady before."

At this time, Qingxia had already run over from the carriage behind and came to the front of the carriage. Pingmei just got out of the carriage. Qingxia hurried to help her. Pingmei, Wang and Hualan bowed to each other and then turned around and stretched out their hands. Beautiful Gu Tingyi also got out.

Then all the female relatives walked towards the longevity hall, and the servants and envoys behind them held the gifts they brought.

In the Shou'an Hall, Xu Zaijing said a few words beside the old lady. The old lady slapped him bitterly and said: "You little hozen, you didn't tell me earlier! Suqin, Ru'an, hurry up! Go! Go to the door, ten million We can’t let my eldest sister salute! Hurry!”

Seeing the old lady's attitude, Mother Fang and Mother Cui looked at each other and knew what was going on.

Pingmei, Wang, and Hualan arrived at the door of Shou'an Hall. Wang's voice came: "Mother, the eldest sister is here."

Pingmei waved Qingxia's hand away and entered the door of Shou'an Hall, about to salute.

Pingmei was immediately supported by two mothers with gentle but strong support, which made Pingmei stunned. Then I saw the little brother beside the old lady smiling at her.

"Xiaowu, didn't you promise not to tell your great-aunt?"

"Don't worry about him, he did the right thing! Come in quickly and let me take a look." The old lady stood up and said. “Auntie, please sit down quickly.”

After some pleasantries, Pingmei introduced the two brothers and sisters from Ningyuan Houfu.

Everyone sat down, and Ping Mei's chair placed next to the old lady was extraordinarily wide and had a backrest, and was covered with thick cushions underneath.

Looking around at the people in Shou'an Hall, Pingmei smiled heartily and said, "Auntie, I am the same generation as sister Hualan. Don't let her stand. Can you sit next to me?"

Hua Lan next to Wang glanced at the old lady, who naturally smiled and agreed: "Hua'er, go ahead."

Fang's mother placed an embroidered pillar next to Pingmei, and Hua Lan sat down.

Pingmei looked at the elegant and dignified Hualan carefully. Hualan had already known the meaning of the Xu family from the old lady. At this time, when she met Pingmei's eyes, she felt a little shy and forced herself to look at Pingmei.

Pingmei's eyes were filled with admiration, and then she took Hualan's hand and smoothly put a luxurious bracelet on Hualan.

Looking at Wang Pingmei who stood up to stop her, she said, "Auntie, this is my meeting gift for my sister!!"

He glanced at the old lady again and said, "Auntie, my sister is so kind!"

Gu Tingyi, who was sitting at the bottom, also looked at Hua Lan with praise in his eyes and whispered something to Gu Tingye. Gu Tingye also laughed when he heard it.

Naturally, Mrs. Wang stared happily with her big eyes, watching this scene with joy, feeling happy that Hua Lan got such a bracelet. Mother Liu on the side looked at the way Pingmei looked at Hua Lan, but she was slightly shocked in her heart.

Then Mother Liu felt the way the old lady looked at Mrs. Wang, and she hurriedly said in Mrs. Wang's ear: "Madam, it's time to come in."

"Sister, I'm so happy that I forgot about it. Children, come in and meet eldest sister." Ms. Wang shouted.

Pingmei brought enough things this time. She gave Changbai and Changfeng a set of expensive pens, ink, paper and inkstones. Most of the gifts for the girls were expensive jewelry. The only difference was Changbai's gift and Rulan's hairpin ring. It was given by Pingmei herself.

This action made Wang feel very happy, because it distinguished the legitimate concubines.

Chang Feng and Ming Lan didn't care at all, but Ru Lan's proud and mocking eyes made Mo Lan feel a little uncomfortable.

During this gap, Xu Zaijing and the old lady said a few words. After hearing what Xu Zaijing said, the old lady nodded and said, "In this case, you can ask the eldest lady."

Hearing the old lady's words, Mrs. Wang looked at Xu Zaijing very helpfully and expectantly. Xu Zaijing bowed and said, "Auntie, I have an unkind request, please accept it."

Then he talked about celebrating the tiger,

"So, please ask my aunt to send someone to ask the female servant in the backyard about her brother's characteristics."

"This is easy to handle, this is easy to handle! Mother Liu, go quickly and call the female envoy named Xiaodie. You can ask yourself."

Pingmei smiled at this time and said: "Aunt, is this emissary Xiaodie serving Wei Xiaoniang?"

Wang Ruofu nodded, and Pingmei said with great interest: "A few days ago, Guanren and I got married, and our Sheng family sent us congratulatory gifts. I liked them all very much, but there was an embroidered painting of plum blossoms and five blessings that I embroidered very well. , my little sister An Mei and I are very curious about this embroidery technique, and I wonder if we can invite her here."

"Of course you can! Mother Liu, ask the Wei family to come with you." Wang Ruofu was very pleased with Pingmei's different treatment of concubines and concubines.

Mother Liu walked out of Shou'an Hall and walked to the side courtyard.

When the brother and sister Gu Tingye heard what their sister-in-law said, they were eager to try. Then they looked at Xu Zaijing for help.

Xu Zaijing saw the look in their eyes and said with a smile: "Auntie, aunt, and several younger brothers and sisters are also bored. Brother Ye always comes out with a pot throwing game. Why don't we let the younger brothers and sisters play?"

Upon hearing the pot throw, Chang Feng's eyes lit up, and then he secretly glanced at Ting Yi.

Rulan was looking at Pingmei's gift intently.

Side courtyard,

Minglan and Xiaotao were called to Shou'an Hall.

Wei Shuyi was embroidering a handkerchief on the embroidery frame absentmindedly.

"hiss!"

Xiaodie on the side hurriedly came over and said, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Wei Shu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I just accidentally pricked it."

Xiaodie saw that Wei Shuyi was fine and continued to wipe the tables and stools in the room.

"Miss, the envoy who came to call for someone just now said that the eldest daughter of the Xu family is here, and I don't know what good things she will give her."

"That eldest sister is married." Wei Shu said, his thoughts wandering a little, and his voice slowly disappeared. He looked at Madam Li, who had been embroidering for a few days, guarding Niangziguan, and whispered hesitantly. Said to himself: "Fight or fight"

Just as he was about to continue embroidering, Liu's mother's voice came from outside the house: "Miss?"

In the courtyard, Mother Liu and her little maid looked at Xiaodie who was helping Wei Shuyi come out with a smile on her face, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "My dear, the eldest girl from the Yongyi Hou Mansion said that the embroidery you gave me is good. The eldest lady specially asked the slave to invite you to the Shou'an Hall."

Wei Shu was stunned for a moment and said a little helplessly: "Mama Liu, wait a minute, I'll go change my clothes."

"Don't worry, little girl, let this little girl help you." Mother Liu smiled and motioned for the female envoy behind her to come in.

Xiaodie hurriedly went to the closet to find the new clothes she made for the New Year. Mother Liu stood aside and took the clothes and handed them to the little girl, motioning for her to help. Then she said: "Little girl, the eldest lady has another order, but it is to Ask Miss Xiaodie next to you. You are feeling heavy, please ask this little girl to help you."

"Mother Liu is the most capable person around the eldest lady, if you ask me." Wei Shuyi turned his back to Mother Liu, with a look of excitement in his eyes that he could not suppress.

"Miss Xiaodie, can you have a brother?" Mother Liu asked with a serious tone, staring at Xiaodie.

Wei Shu was stunned and heard Xiaodie say in a low mood: "Yes, a letter came from me some time before the Chinese New Year, saying that he died for his country."

Liu's mother was a little surprised when she heard this. In this way, the most important feature is that it is right.

"Then what is your brother's name? What are his characteristics?" After listening to Liu's mother's question, Xiaodie thought for a while and said, "My brother's name is Liu Xiaomao. There is a birthmark on the back of his hand and a scar on the corner of his eyebrow."

Mother Liu nodded. While she was talking, the little girl had already helped Wei Shuyi put on new clothes. Wei Shuyi turned around and said to Mother Liu: "Since we returned to Yangzhou, her mother knew that she had returned to her hometown, and It is unreliable to say that Xiaodie's second uncle is a lazy person, so he didn't tell Xiaodie's second uncle. I don't know why."

Liu's mother nodded, looked at Wei Shu and said, "My dear, this is what a distinguished guest at home wants to ask, so let's go over."

The four of them left the side courtyard together.

In the past, Wei Shuyi would accompany Minglan to greet Mrs. Sheng, and she would often get some cakes from the old lady. She had walked this road to Shou'an Hall many times, but it had never felt as long as it did today, or As short as today.

Arriving at the entrance of the courtyard of Shou'an Hall, Wei Shuyi heard the sound of cheering in the courtyard, which sounded like the fifth girl's.

　At around four o'clock in the afternoon, when I was writing about Liu's mother going to a partial hospital, she received a notice that she might have to move.

　　My writing state suddenly collapsed and I wrote 300 words in two hours.

　　I wrote and deleted, deleted and wrote, and it felt uncomfortable.

　　I haven’t saved the manuscript yet, which makes me feel uncomfortable. I will try my best to update the two 4000-word chapters tomorrow, and find a house as soon as possible to restore my daily life.

　　The news was sudden and it affected my status too much.

　　Sorry.
