Do you know: I am Xu Jiazi

Chapter 37 Discrimination
  Ningyuan Houfu
  Mrs. Sun was in the house with her two girls, Pingmei, Anmei and Ms. Bai. There was also a two-year-old girl whose appearance was quite similar to Ms. Bai.

However, the eyebrows are opened as if they were a replica of those of Gu Hou and Gu Yan.

"Sister, these are things brought back by the ship that returned to Hong Kong last year. Dad said there are many things in it that are rarely seen in our country, so I asked my sister to come and take a look."

"We are both housewives. In terms of horizons, I am not as good as you. My natal family in Bianjing is also a small family."

Gu Tingyu and Gu Tingye are both boys, and they are not young anymore, so they are not with the female relatives.
  Instead, he and the three Xu Zaiduan brothers were playing hut in the yard.

While they were having fun, Gu Tingye's servant Zhique came to the yard and said, "Brother Ye, the master of the Bai family has sent a few pots of flowers that are rarely seen in Da Zhou."

"Ah? Move here quickly."

Soon, the servants carried six flower pots into the yard.

The three of them moved into Bai's room.

Three stayed in the yard,

Inside were flowers that Xu Zaijing and the others had never seen before.

Xu Zaijing looked at one of the pots of plants called flowers and was happy.

Gu Tingyu saw Xu Zaijing's expression and asked, "Brother Jing, do you like this potted flower?"

Xu Zaijing looked at Gu Tingyu and said, "Yes, this is the first time I have seen such a flower." Bracket, this life.

"According to the book, this is 'Baidie', also known as 'Weaver Shell'. It was mostly planted in the northwest frontier of the former dynasty. It is now in the north of Baigao Kingdom. I heard from Qingke, a disciple of my fifth uncle, that there was a large island in the southern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty. There are also many flowers like this on the island.”

Xu Zaijing: "Brother Yu is really knowledgeable."

At the same time, he thought to himself: "I thought I was the first to discover this cotton."

Gu Tingyu smiled shyly.

"Brother Yu, I wonder if someone can use this flower for textiles?"

"I've never heard of it, but I think the flowers are quite compact and may be used for weaving."

Gu Tingye said at the side: "Brother Jing, do you like this flower? Then I will ask my grandfather to send you a few more pots."

"Okay, then I'll thank Brother Ye here."

"Come on, let's continue looking. Grandpa has sent a lot of other things."

Xu Zaijing and his brothers followed Gu Tingye into the house.

There were many things on the table, including huge ivory, exquisite tortoise shells, smooth rhinoceros horns, and southern pearls strung into necklaces.

Xu Zaiduan and others, although they are in the somewhat defeated Hou Mansion, are not drooling over these things.

At most, it's just curiosity and gaining insights.

After some sighing, Xu Zaijing and others walked out of the room.

There was a servant sweeping the floor with a broom in the yard.

Seeing several distinguished guests, the servant stood aside and did not continue sweeping, fearing that the dust would disturb the guests.

A few people continued walking and accidentally glanced around and found a few yellow and white particles on the ground.

As he got closer, Xu Zaijing found that these things looked more and more like the seeds of a plant in his previous life.

Stopping and squatting down, Xu Zaijing suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Noticing Xu Zaijing's movements, Gu Tingyu next to him turned around to look.

"Brother Jing?"

Xu Zaijing picked up the dusty seeds and looked at the servant with a scary look: "Where did this come from?"

The servant looked at Xu Zaijing's somewhat scary eyes and bowed in panic.

"Back to the young master, yes, yes, when we were moving the strange flowers just now, a box tipped over and these things fell out of it."

"What's wrong with Brother Jing?"

Xu Zaijing's mind changed quickly and he said, "It's nothing. I think this little thing is yellow and white, and it's quite pretty. I wonder if there are more?"

"What's so difficult about this, Zhique, you go and ask."

Xu Zaijing carefully picked up the seeds and put them in his hand.

"Corn! The corn that could produce food on barren land in the previous life! The corn leaves and husks can be fed to cattle and sheep, and the straw and corn cobs can also be used as firewood."

Xu Zaijing opened his palm holding these seeds and said to Gu Tingyu beside him:

"Brother Yu, I don't know what kind of things will grow if these seeds are buried in the soil."

"I've never seen anything like this in books." As they said this, they returned to the outside of Bai's house.

Zhique ran back panting, still holding four seeds in his hand and said

"Sir, I looked through the wooden boxes containing strange flowers, and there are only a few of them."

"Brother Jing likes it, give it to Brother Jing."

Everyone left after playing in the Gu family until Shen Shen.

After sending the Xu family away, Bai and Chang's mother returned to the inner courtyard accompanied by the female envoys.

"Girl, why do you think our master wants us to get closer to the Xu family?"

"I don't know, but dad has always been a master of wisdom. Now that I think about it, since we went to the Xu family for the banquet, life has indeed been much smoother."

"How can this be the credit of the Xu family? Girl, you are the eldest wife of the Hou family, so your life should be smooth."

"In the past few years, how many noble families have invited me to dinner? How many people have responded to my post? How many times has even the Yang family's aunt come?"

"Don't worry, girl. Our master is not always in Bianjing. He will definitely make plans for the girl."

"Dad is already so old and has business to worry about in Yangzhou. How can we let him worry so much?"

The Gu family didn't say anything.

The Bai family in Beijing,

The leader of the Bai family is sitting on the chair at the top,

He was listening to the report from his servant in the Marquis Mansion.

Next to Bai Wanshu, the head of the Bai family, is the Taoist surnamed Yuan, and below him is a muscular, black-faced man.

After the servant finished his report, Bai Wanshu waved him away.

"Kuroro, do you have any impression of those yellow seeds I just mentioned?"

The man at the bottom pondered for a long time, seeming to be remembering something.

The two people above did not urge him.

After half a quarter of an hour, the man said in a clear voice: "It should be on the southern sea. Our big ship once encountered a terrible storm."

Bai Wanshu said nothing and continued to listen.

"It was really a terrible situation that time, with strong winds and rough seas. If the brothers on the ship hadn't risked their lives to save the mast, our ship would have been waiting for death."

The man had a look of fear on his face, took a sip of tea and continued.

"At that time, there were not only raindrops in the rain, but also other things. A two-foot-long fish hit the boat like rain."

Taoist surnamed Yuan also looked surprised.

"When the weather calms down, our ship will almost fall apart. Fortunately, the master has prepared a lot of extra things when we go to sea, otherwise something will definitely happen."

Bai Wanshu sat at the top, his eyes trembling.

Since ancient times, good fortune and misfortune have always depended on each other. In the hexagram of good fortune, you must first withstand the test before the good fortune comes.

The ship on which he made his fortune was even more dangerous.

The man continued: "There were a lot of these yellow seeds mixed with the fish on the deck at that time. Some were washed into the cabin by the rain, and some were swept into the sea by the brothers. Maybe a few of them fell in In the box.”

"Where are those pots of exotic flowers?"

Taoist Yuan stroked his beard and said, "This is not a rare plant, but an ancient weaving shell. However, it is rare to see it as soft and firm as the one sent to the Gu family."

The leader of the Bai family tapped his fingers, glanced at Yuan Daoren and said, "I wonder what's so special about it."

"Tell your sister to pay more attention and send more gold and silver gifts. Most of their distinguished family members are farmers with many years of experience."

Bai Wanshu, the leader of the Bai family, said: "We have decided on the general judge of Yangzhou."

"Oh?"

"We still have some connections with the Xu family. The Shanda man will come to visit tomorrow."

"Did your sister tell you?"

"Yes, from what she said, it seems that the Xu family and the Sheng family are no longer as severed as before."

"It doesn't matter, Yangzhou Zhizhou and I are old friends. With this new friend from the Sheng family, we will be even better in the future."
