Do you know: I am Xu Jiazi

Chapter 90 The four courtyards of the Sixiu and Sheng families [Thank you readers for your support! Goodbye! 】

"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? The prince may die due to an epidemic, accident, etc. If there is a chance to compete for that position, it is different whether he is prepared or not."

"Prepare for a rainy day?"

The master nodded and said:
  "Never underestimate the patience of others. I have been planning for more than ten years, but I have also seen people take action."

"Master, which family is it from?"

"Humph."

Xu Zaijing knew, it was from the Qin family.

Coincidentally, Xu Zaijing has also met, and he is also from the Qin family.

It seems that the trait of being extremely patient is inherited in the Qin family.

The Qin family may have secretly taken refuge with a certain prince early on.

After all, in the current echelon of power, unless the Qin family has a seed to study, there is little hope of rising.

Xu Zaijing suddenly remembered that a character in a TV series said something in his previous life: Chaos is the ladder of ascent.

Xu Zaijing's current status, chaos is good for him. With his own ability, he is sure to make great achievements.

However, ordinary people in Zhou Dynasty such as Qingcao, Qingzhi, the Ni family siblings, etc. may be in disaster.

He may have starved to death because he had no money to buy rice and noodles due to the chaos.

Possibly died due to rebellion
  Xu Zaijing doesn't want this to happen and will try his best to prevent it. But if it does happen, he has the ability to protect his family.

Shaking his head to get rid of these thoughts, Xu Zaijing smiled and said:
  "Master, let's stew a chicken. Your skills combined with the mushrooms cultivated by Uncle Deng will make it taste amazing."

Looking at his apprentice who seamlessly switched from court affairs, the master nodded.

Yangzhou
  In winter

Sheng Hong had lunch comfortably in Wang Ruofu's room with a bright fire.

As a eldest lady, her natal family had many disciples, and from time to time the uncle from Runzhou would ask someone to send a carload of tributes from his disciples.

Wang Ruofu smiled and put a bowl of soup into Sheng Hong's hand and said:
  "Officer, all the ladies in Yangzhou are very envious of me these days. I heard that the count and his wife are here to collect the army, so I look very respectable."

Sheng Hong was also quite proud and said:
  "Uncle Yuan and I were the only people in Bianjing who were able to chat. We had another drink when we came out of Xu's house that day. He also suffered a lot, and Wen Shao also experienced the common affairs early. He’s a good kid.”

Wang Ruofu continued to smile and said:
  "My mother is also very satisfied with the family chosen by the officials."

Sheng Hong nodded proudly.

"Officer, my natal sister sent a letter to me, saying that the eldest daughter in the family is about to get married, and asked me if I have any good candidates."

Hearing this, Sheng Hong shook his head slightly and clicked his tongue.

But thinking that the Kang family, like the Wang family, both of their fathers had been officials for many years, and their disciples and former officials had connections all over the government and the public, and had helped him in the early years, Sheng Hong asked:

"Do you have someone in mind?"

Wang Ruofu said happily: "Guanren, didn't mother gradually get in touch with the Xu family over the years? Now the Xu family doesn't have two brothers?"

"Jesus, what's going on in your head?"

Wang Ruofu's smile disappeared, he looked at his official with wide eyes and said:
  "What's wrong? It feels right to me!"

Sheng Hong looked at his eldest wife, suppressed the anger in his heart and said:
  "Are you a member of the Kang family or when we just got married?"

Wang Ruofu sat on the embroidered pier, frowned and said:

"The Kang family master and my father are close friends. They are both scholars. Although my brother-in-law..."

Sheng Hong said confidently:

"My brother-in-law, what do you think he does? He doesn't want to maintain the connections his father has accumulated over the years. He squats in women's nests every day! His career is about to be ruined!"

After speaking, he glanced at Wang Ruofu.

Wang Ruofu was so speechless that he couldn't clean out all the concubines in the Kang family's house with his sister's ruthless temper.

This brother-in-law of the Kang family 'repurchases' goods too fast.

Thinking about it, she glanced at Sheng Hong.

Sheng Hong himself is more handsome than Kang Haifeng. Now his official career is going smoothly and he is very high-spirited.

Thinking about the situation my sister is facing,
  Wang Ruofu actually still feels a little happy.

If it weren't for that bitch Lin Qige,
  Her happiness can take another step forward,
  But she still muttered stubbornly: "How can the Kang family be as defeated as you said?"

"Hey, what do you, a housewife, know? Did you know that when I went to Xu's house before, all the cars and horses of other people were parked on the street? Your official is just a fifth-grade official!"

"Then there is still a mother!" Wang Ruofu retorted.

"My mother belongs to the Sheng family, my mother, not his Kang family." Sheng Hong growled in a low voice.

"If it doesn't work, it won't work. Why are you shouting at me?"

Sheng Hong sighed, this meal should not be eaten here.

Shouantang

Hualan helped Mrs. Sheng walk back to the house from the Buddhist hall, still smelling of sandalwood.

Hua Lan supported him.

"Grandma, sister Pingmei from the Xu family, should have been married by this time, right?"

"Well, I've been counting the days for a while. What's wrong? It's time to mention the Xu family."

"Grandma, I'm thinking of sharing some of the velvet sent by the Xu family to other people in the family! My granddaughter had it last year, but she won't need it this year."

"Hmph, you little bastard. Okay, I listen to you. You can divide the lint. Remember to leave some for your friends in Yangzhou."

"The granddaughter thanked her grandmother."

"Go."

Looking at the happy Hua Lan, Mrs. Sheng also looked happy.

Fang’s mother said from the side: “The elder girl is really a kind-hearted and good child.”

Mrs. Sheng slowly lost her smile and said:
  "The Yuan family is quite understandable. I heard that the daughter-in-law of the eldest son of the Yuan family is also from the Zhang family. This noble man in the capital has a complicated relationship. Hua'er is married to her."

"With your guidance over the years, the big girl won't be any worse."

"Oh, these are all stupid methods. What Bianjing lacks the most is smart people. I don't know how many ideas have passed through my mind as soon as my eyes roll. Those daughters-in-law who belong to the families of noble officials, who are not human beings?"

Fang’s mother also knew that her young lady had gone through many hardships in recent years, so she changed the subject and said:

"It's your sixtieth birthday after the Chinese New Year."

"Let's talk to my son. It will be the time when Hua'er takes part in the expedition, so don't worry too much about the lady."

"Yes, girl."

Linqi Pavilion,
  Lin Sushuang stroked the white cotton velvet just delivered to the table and said:

"This is really good stuff."

The snow lady on the side said: "Little girl, I heard that the price of this thing outside is the same as the same weight of silver."

"Oh? So expensive? If I, Lin Qige, had such good things and good industry, I wouldn't have to look at Wei Ruixuan's face."

"My dear, you are in charge of the Sheng family's business now. There is no loss in this business, and there is no need to look at the other side's face! You are really powerful. I wish I could learn more tricks from you."

"Hmph, you're the only one who can speak! Even though the old woman from Shou'antang is not good, her words still make some sense."

"Mom, I wonder what she said?"

"In this house, you need to have money and people. If you have these two things, you can live a peaceful and comfortable life."

Xue Niang smiled and said, "That's what I said!"

Lin Sushuang picked up the scissors on the table and took a look.
  I strolled to a pot of plum blossoms in the room,

While pruning, he said: "Her family doesn't have any money, it's just a shabby settlement. A bitch who has nothing, dares to challenge me and compete for favors? Has she started to arrange things?"

Xue Niang looked around and saw that only Mo Lan was taking a nap on the bed. She whispered next to Lin Sushuang:
  "It has been arranged. When the Yuan family comes to deliver the tax, we will take advantage of the chaos and try it when outsiders are around."

Lin Sushuang smiled slightly: "Sometimes, you really have to thank the old lady of Shou'an Hall for her teachings~ The people in the side courtyard have no money and no people~ You despicable thing, fight with me!"

The pot of plum blossoms in the house had a straight fork on the thick trunk. Lin Sushuang cut it hard with scissors.

The scissors close and the branches fall

偏院
  Hua Lan and her younger sister Ming Lan waved goodbye.

"Mom, Minglan, please go back to the house quickly, it's cold outside."

"Thank you for the gift, eldest lady."

"Thank you big sister!"

Minglan and Xiaotao happily ran back to the house.

Xiaodie followed Wei Shuyi.

"Mom, I heard from Sister Xiaodie that the price of such heavy velvet is the same as that of such heavy silver!" Minglan in the room looked at the large ball of velvet with interest.

Wei Shuyi touched the soft velvet, his eyes filled with pleasure.

"This thing is really good. After I finish embroidering this picture of Madam Li guarding Niangziguan, I will make jackets for the three of you and stuff them with this thing. I heard the eldest girl said that she is still sweating in the warm room."

"Mom, is it really that warm?"

"Tomorrow, I want to call you Miss!" Wei Shu corrected.

"Sister Mo Lan always calls her mother, and I want to do the same."

"you!"

"Mom, don't be angry, be careful of fetal miscarriage." Xiaodie hurriedly came to the rescue.

Wei Shu glanced at his daughter and said:
  "Xiaodie, it's your mother's memorial day in a few days, don't forget it. After selling the embroidery, buy some paper money to burn."

"Well, little girl, I understand."

"It's a pity that you followed an incompetent master like me, otherwise"

Xiaodie looked at the unblooming plum blossoms under the window, she shook her head and said:
  "My mother, my mother is suffering from a heart disease, and it has nothing to do with how much money she has. My brother died for the country, and her heart is dead."

Xiaodie quickly wiped her tears and said, "Mom, don't talk about this anymore. I heard from the eldest girl that someone will come from Bianjing to celebrate the old lady's birthday?"

Wei Shu said sympathetically, "Yes, the old lady's family."

Speaking of this, Wei Shuyi didn't know what he thought of, and looked at the embroidery painting of Lady Li guarding Niangziguan that was being embroidered not far away.

Her eyes flashed a few times,
  ‘I wonder if that embroidery painting will arouse the curiosity of the girls in the Hou Mansion. ’

"Mom, I'm going out then."

"Go."

After saying that, Wei Shuyi sat under the window, carefully selected the embroidery thread, and started embroidering again.

Xiaodie came outside the door, looked at Xiaotao who was following her, touched her head and said, "Don't worry, come back and buy some delicious food for my little girl."

Xiaotao's eyes lit up.
