Do you know: I am Xu Jiazi

Chapter 24 Birthday
  On the second day, the noble and wealthy families in Beijing had already begun to set up a high platform on the roadside and invited drama troupes and famous prostitutes in Beijing to dance and sing on the stage.

There are also oiran ladies from other places who rent a high platform on the street and perform repertoire, hoping to attract the attention of high-ranking officials and wealthy people in Beijing, stay in Beijing, and strive to make a name that will go down in history.

At night, there was no curfew in Bianjing City, so all the envoys from other countries and the foreign tribes who came here were surprised. There had never been such a lively crowd and such a prosperous food in their own country or on the island.

How prosperous it is, "Tokyo Menghualu" has almost a page full of food names.

Because it was time for the performance in two days, Sun naturally did not let Xu Zaijing go out with him just to be on the safe side.

So on this day, only four brothers and sisters from the Xu family followed Sun on a night tour of the bustling Bianjing city.

It was already Haishi when we came back.

However, they did not forget their younger brother at home, and brought back a lot of lanterns, food, poems, as well as handkerchiefs and sachets distributed by the courtesan.

Xiaozhu, the maid who stayed at home, saw everyone and whispered: "Brother Jing has gone to bed. He said he was recharging his energy for the performance."

"You should keep an eye on him and don't let him catch a cold under the quilt at night."

"Yes, ma'am."

Xu Zaizhang and Xu Anmei, who wanted to tease their younger brother awake secretly, were taken away by their mother.

"Don't disturb your brother. He's not young anymore. Why are you still ignorant?"

Outside the Yongyi Hou Mansion,
  The streets are still noisy with people coming and going.
  Xu Zaijing, who was sleeping in his room, returned to the modern city in a trance, sitting on the train and standing at the door of the toilet in the carriage.

I waited left and right, but the people inside just wouldn't come out.

There was a voice asking him to wake up, but Xu Zaijing was a little nostalgic for this modern era of convenient life and advanced technology.

He wanted to reminisce about modern life and subconsciously didn't want to wake up.

hurry hurry!
  Just when he couldn't help it anymore, the toilet door finally opened and he rushed in hurriedly.

A burst of relief.

There was a warmth underneath me.

Xu Zaijing woke up.

Oops! ! !

Naturally, you can't sleep wet all night. If you get cold due to this, you will lose more than you gain.

So he could only shout.

Xiaozhu hurriedly put on his clothes and walked over.

Xu Zaijing: "It's wet."

Xiaozhu: "."

Tomorrow is the emperor's birthday.

At the dinner table in Yongyi Hou Mansion, Mrs. Sun looked at her youngest son's seat with some doubts.

Today her son did not sit down together for breakfast on time.

Just when he was about to send Xiaoju to ask, Xiaozhu, who had taken care of Xu Zaijing last night, had already come to Sun's side with a smile and whispered a few words to Sun.

Sun's face was surprised, but her eyes were full of smiles.

Her son was so sensible that she suspected that he had Su Hui.

But what Xiaozhu said made her know that her son was just a six or seven-year-old baby who could also wet the bed.

Xu Zaijing knew that his bed-wetting would be known by his wife. He was so thin-skinned that he was embarrassed to have breakfast at the table.

"Put some food in a food box for Brother Jing and take it to the racecourse."

Xiaozhu should be.

The four Xu brothers and sisters were very curious about this, but Mrs. Sun glanced at it and said, "Eat, what should you do after eating."

Xu Zaizhang and Xu Anmei looked at each other dishonestly, wondering what they were thinking.

In the racecourse, the groom was talking to the young boy Qingyun.

"Tomorrow you and Brother Jing will go to the palace. Do you remember what I told you?"

"Remember, keep an eye on the young master's horses. Don't let anyone approach or touch the young master's horses. Don't let anyone touch the young master's clothes, bow, and arrows. Check the archery targets and mechanisms after entering the field."

"Okay. Remember, the most important thing about you is the young master. If someone tells you that someone in the house is looking for you, what should you do?"

"If there is any serious matter, I will naturally come to the lady. As a young man, I have to take care of the young master first."

"Some people say I'm dead, what should you do?" Qingyun's eyes were horrified, but seeing the severity in his uncle's eyes, he lowered his head.

"Look up! Look at me and say!"

"Qingyun is the young master's playmate and boy. One, one, one, one of the grooms is dead. What does it have to do with me." In the second half, Qingyun's voice already sounded like crying.

"Stretch out your hand," the groom said.

Qingyun wiped his tears and stretched out his hand with some flinch.

"Snapped!"

A red mark appeared in the palm of his hand.

"Let's talk again."

"It's just a groom. If he dies, what does it have to do with me!"

"Humph."

The groom turned and left.

As he left, he said, "Take your shield and stand in front of the target."

"Yes"

The groom walked up to Xu Zaijing and said casually: "Practice less today, just keep your hand feeling good. Qingyun will stand in front of the target, don't be disturbed by him."

Xu Zaijing said: "No."

The day of the emperor's birthday.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and it was not yet bright.

Xu Zaijing entered the palace early with his family servants.

Before going out, Mrs. Sun encouraged Xu Zaijing. Looking at her son's bright eyes, Ms. Sun touched Xu Zaijing's face and said, "Go."

The bows, arrows, and target machines had been transported to the palace yesterday. Today, Xu Zaijing only needs to take the servants, horses, and clothes with him.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites were at the gate of the palace, counting people according to the list in the book.

At the same time, everyone's positions were arranged according to the order of the program.

Xu Zaijing was closing his eyes and concentrating at his place when a voice came.

"Xu Zaijing, Xu Zaijing!"

He looked back and saw a boy holding a small spear greeting him not far away.

This spear was made in the palace. The barrel is well-proportioned, the head is made of fine copper, and the red tassel is smooth.
  Next to the boy was a boy. When he saw Xu Zaijing, he quickly bowed and saluted: "I have seen Sanlang."

Qingyun had learned a lot about etiquette these days, so he hurriedly saluted Gu Tingye: "I've seen Erlang."

Gu Tingye came to Xu Zaijing's side. In these years, Xu Zaijing went to Ningyuan Hou Mansion frequently, and he and Gu Tingye were naturally familiar with each other.

Gu Tingye is not the child who lost his mother at an early age in the play, and his personality is naturally not that strong. Although he likes to compete with Xu Zaijing, in general, he is still an ordinary child.

He would not do anything to harm the goldfish in the palace.

"Sanlang, when I came here, I saw a pool in the palace. The fish in it was so big!" Gu Tingye gestured as he spoke.

"After we finish the performance for the emperor's uncle, let's go catch some and bake them!"

Well, Xu Zaijing took back his previous thoughts. Gu Tingye would continue to kill the goldfish in the palace.

"Don't be fooling around. Everything in the palace is for royal use. What's the point of catching it? You're not afraid of Gu Hou teaching you a lesson."

"Hmph, he dared to beat me to death, but that fish was really big. Not only was it big, but it was also stupid. When they saw me passing by, they actually swam over."

Saying that, Xu Zaijing took out a piece of beef jerky from his arms.

"Here, do you want to eat or not?"

"Whatever you gave me, I don't dare to eat. If something goes wrong, I'll ask my mother to talk to Aunt Sun.

Hey!
  The night before yesterday, I went to see some performers on the street. It was really exciting!

Have you visited? Just next to Royal Street. "

As he said this, Gu Tingye took it over. The boy Zhique on the side just glanced at it and said nothing more.
