Do you know: I am Xu Jiazi

Chapter 61 Dialogue and Visit [Thank you for your support! Thank you! Goodbye! 】

"Yes, mother."

"It was the post horse sent by Bianjing that galloped over to inform the Yangzhou officials that the Baigao Kingdom had brazenly sent troops to surround Lingzhou, our horse breeding place in the Zhou Dynasty, and that the Northern Liao Wolf Zizi ambition was advancing on Suizhou."

"Well, I heard you say that Bai Gao Kingdom is controlled by an empress dowager? By sending troops to Lingzhou, the empress dowager wants to establish prestige in Bai Gao Kingdom and gather power."

"Best wishes, mother."

In the main hall, the waiter Hua Lan placed two cups of tea on the table in front of her grandmother and father.

Sheng Hong continued: "After receiving the news, the imperial court sent senior generals from Beijing to the front line. At this time, the entire front should be in full preparedness."

"Well, to contain Bei Liao, Lingzhou alone won't work. We have to recruit troops from Hebei and Jingdong to threaten Bei Liao's left wing."

"My mother is convinced that Marquis Zhongjing and Marquis Yongchang have passed away."

"Is the war in the northwest still clear?"

"It is said that the British Duke and Gu Hou went to the north. There is no news from the Western Army. Cousin Xu is among the Western Army."

"The sword has no eyes on the battlefield. Alas, I hope he can make great achievements! Don't let anything happen."

"Mother said so."

Mrs. Sheng looked at the table, stroking the lid of the teacup with her hand, pondered for a moment and then said:
  "Also! Lingzhou is the most important horse breeding land in my country, and the imperial court will definitely go all out to preserve it.

I think the war will not be over in a short time. You should discuss it with Zhizhou and say hello to the gentry in Yangzhou in advance.

This war is like a giant gold-eating beast, and it will eat up mountains of silver coins! The court will definitely impose taxes and increase taxes. Let them prepare early. "

"It's the mother, the son knows."

Sheng Hong turned around to leave, but Mrs. Sheng continued:

"Also, we need to pay a visit to Zhizhou over at Wuyi Lane. With the leader of the Bai family setting an example, some things will be much easier."

"My son had this idea, and he resigned."

Mrs. Sheng nodded.

After saying that, Sheng Hong didn't change his clothes and asked people to prepare the carriage and horses. He was going to Zhizhou's home.

Wei Ruixuan.

Chang Bai was looking at a map. He had just heard from his eldest sister that there was a war in the north, and he was trying to estimate the scale of the war on the map.

Although he is young, he already has national affairs in mind.

The next day, the Yangzhou government issued a proclamation to the effect that Bai Gaoguo had launched a border provocation, attacked and killed border residents, and intended to invade Lingzhou of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The imperial court had already sent troops to the north.

If there are any sensational rumors, they will be detained if caught, and those with serious consequences will be dealt with in detail.

Public opinion in Yangzhou instantly cleared up. Many young scholars were promoting Bai Gaoguo's wolfish ambitions in restaurants, and stories about the Empress Dowager of Baigaoguo became popular.

Sheng Jia,

Linqi Pavilion,
  The personal maid, Xue Niang, said in Lin Sushuang's ear: "My dear, I heard from the master that there is a fight in the north."

Hearing this, Lin Sushuang looked panicked and said, "What? There's a fight? Is the world going to be in chaos?"

"Looking at the Lord's face, it seems normal. It should be nothing serious."

"Don't worry about his face for now. Go and collect all the money, interest, etc., and prepare them first. If that doesn't work, let's take refuge south first."

"Yes, little girl."

Partial courtyard,

Sheng Hong's concubine, Wei Shuyi, was embroidering in the light under the window.

The light from the window came in, covering her with a veil of light.

Xiaodie was not in the room, only a little girl over five years old stood aside.

Wei Shu stretched out his waist, looked at the peach cake on the table next to him, and picked up a piece.

"Xiao Tao, come."

"Thank you, little girl."

Xiao Tao chewed the peach cake, her eyes narrowed as she enjoyed the delicious food.

The curtain at the door was opened, Xiaodie walked a few steps quickly and came to Wei Shuyi's side, panting and saying:
  "Mother, I heard from the servants in the mansion that there is a fight in the north."

Wei Shuyi's eyes were stunned and he said, "Drink some water first. Do you know where the fight started?"

"It's said to be in the north, where horses were raised in the Zhou Dynasty."

After pondering for a while, Wei Shu said meaningfully:
  "The north is far away from us, and there are Hebei East Road, Jingdong East Road, and Huainan East Road in the middle. We are so far apart that we have nothing to worry about."

After that, he continued his embroidery work.

"Ah? My dear, is it so far away? I heard what the servants said, and I thought we were going to hit you very close."

"It's mostly just rumors. Is that piece of embroidery selling well?"

"Yes, little girl. Several stores are clamoring for your embroidery."

"Don't let anyone know."

Xiaodie smiled and said, "Yeah! My dear, I heard someone tell you something when I went to the embroidery shop."

Wei Shuyi turned around and continued to embroider a handkerchief: "Say."

"The old lady in our family, the Xu family, has received a commendation from the Queen."

Wei Shuyi stopped what he was doing and listened to Xiaodie's words.

After Xiaodie finished speaking, Wei Shu said sincerely: "That's great." After finishing speaking, Wei Shu continued to embroider the handkerchief.

I don’t know whether it’s better to say Ping Mei or Xu Zaijing, or it’s better to be praised by the Queen, or it’s better to have both parents.

Bianjing,

After the initial confusion,

After getting familiar with the situation, Bianjing became lively again.

Various restaurants have added a program similar to Storyteller.

But I'm not talking about books, I'm talking about the imperial newspaper printed by the General Affairs Department.

What concerns people the most is naturally the war in the north. The Grand Prime Minister of the DPRK naturally knows what the people are thinking.

Therefore, there will be news about the war in the north, big or small, in the newspapers.

This also controls public opinion.

In response to reports about the war in the north reported in the Di newspaper, a Nanqu troupe had already hired well-educated people to write lyrics and music about winning the war, and the members of the troupe began rehearsing.

Prepare for the war to be over and have a new song.

This trend quickly spread throughout Bianjing.

From Bianjing, it spread to all parts of the Zhou Dynasty.

The first thing to be adapted was the story of a British man who was extremely resourceful, saw through the treacherous plot of the Northern Liao Dynasty, and captured the generals under the command of the King of the Southern Liao Dynasty.

Military generals are taboo against carelessness, and they are even more taboo about saying that victory is guaranteed if the advantage is huge.

That is to say, it is taboo to open champagne at halftime.

Therefore, the Zhang family also welcomed the new play of the Nanqu Troupe, and they will not start singing until the overall situation is decided.

The days go round and round,

One day after Wu Niang posted the post, the carriage from the Duke of England arrived at the home of Yongyi Hou Xu.

The carriage from the Duke's Palace entered Xu's house, accompanied by the servant girl from the Duke's Palace.
  Entering the inner courtyard, Mrs. Sun took her daughter-in-law and two daughters to greet her.
  The first person to get out of the carriage was a fat steward mother, who welcomed the fifth daughter of the Zhang family, who was dressed in luxurious clothes and gold and jade, out of the carriage.

The little girl got off the carriage and saw the Xu family squatting slightly to salute.
  "Sister-in-law Chun'an, two sisters Zhuang'an, eldest lady, Jin'an."

The mother in charge behind her followed suit and saluted.

"Sister Zhuang'an."

"Hey, Wu Niang, I haven't seen you before. Come on, let's go in."

With that said, the group entered the main hall of the inner courtyard.

Ms. Xie followed her mother in charge and asked softly: "I wonder what your mother's surname is?"

"Mother-in-law, my surname is Fan."

"Oh, it turns out to be Mother Fan. Please come in."

After talking in the main hall for a while, Mrs. Sun asked the two plum blossoms to take good care of Wu Niang, and then left with Mr. Xie, leaving the girls to play by themselves.

Mother Fan accompanied the three girls to Pingmei's yard.

"Sister Anmei, I heard from many sisters that your little raccoon slave is very cute. Can you take a look at it today?"

"Of course, that little thing is in my sister's yard."

As she spoke, the fifth lady of the Zhang family heard the raccoon slave meowing in the yard, and the cry was a bit sad.

After turning around the moon gate, Wu Niang saw a golden creature locked in a cage with a silver bed.

There is a small water tank on the table not far away.

The little raccoon slave, who was making a shrill cry and howling hard, saw the three people approaching, and suddenly his voice became much quieter, turning into a soft clipping sound.

If Xu Zaijing were here, he would definitely say: "Hey, the little thing has two faces."

When Zhang Jiawu Niang got closer, she saw clearly that the little raccoon slave had a finely woven red tie around his neck, and a small silent bell hanging underneath.

Next to the little bell, there is a small gold medal with the word "Xu" engraved on it.

"Wow, so cute." Wu Niang's eyes almost glowed with pink hearts.

"Wu Niang, there is a fish in that small water tank. You can feed it to it. It is its favorite."

Pingmei was still very calm in front of outsiders. She whispered to Mother Fan: "Mother Fan, why doesn't the Duke's mansion hire a raccoon slave for Wu Niang to play with her?"

"There used to be raccoon slaves. When Wu Niang passed away when she was young, Wu Niang became sick from crying. Some Taoist priests said that they could no longer hire raccoon slaves, so they stopped."

"Wu Niang is a good girl with a kind heart, so I feel relieved."

"Miss Ping, I think this raccoon slave has been hungry all morning?"

"It was my Xiaowu's idea. I was afraid that if Wu Niang came, the little raccoon slave would run out and ruin the fun."

While the two were talking, voices came from outside the wall.

But it was Xu Zaijing who led Zheng Xiao to play in his yard.
