Chapter 484 Two Happy Events and a Grand Ceremony Are Coming [Thank You! Goodbye! 41k Owed]

Three quarters of an hour (before 8 a.m.)

Quyuan Street,

Marquis Yongyi's Mansion,

"Ouch!"

"Sister-in-law! It hurts! It hurts!"

Alan cried out in pain from the wooden house next to the racecourse.

"?"

In the wide fence nearby,

the ears of several naked horses without any reins moved, and the horses raised their heads and looked curiously in the direction of the wooden house.

"A man who has been to Bai Gao can't stand this little pain?"

A woman's voice came.

Seeing that there was no movement afterwards, the horses continued to swing their tails leisurely.

In the wooden house,

the fire was very strong, and the copper kettle on the iron stove was steaming.

Xunshu, who was next to him, was only wearing a close-fitting dress, and was bending over and having his head washed by Mother Xia in Xu Zaijing's courtyard.

Not far from Xunshu, Alan was sitting in front of a table with a bronze mirror, and behind him stood Qingyun's wife Huaqing, who was combing Alan's hair with a comb in her hand.

"Wipe it."

After washing Xunshu's hair, Mother Xia handed him a towel.

After Xunshu took the towel, Mother Xia walked aside and began to repeatedly shave the razor on a belt.

Yin Bo, who was sitting nearby, drank a sip of wine, limped over, and helped Xunshu wipe his hair.

Mother Xia walked to Alan and used a razor to shave Alan's straightened temples and the back of his neck.

A quarter of an hour later,

Hua Qing and Mother Xia stood beside the two. Hua Qing helped Alan to pull the wrinkles on his clothes and smiled, "After some grooming, he can be handsome!"

Yin Bo looked at Alan and Xunshu who had their hair done and changed into new clothes and nodded, "Well! Finally, they look like martial artists."

Hearing these words, Alan and Xunshu blushed slightly and looked at themselves in the bronze mirror a little embarrassedly.

When they came to Da Zhou, they wore shabby sheepskin coats and served horses all day long and rarely took care of themselves.

Although they had improved after staying in the Xu family for a few years, they had never been treated like today, with a special person combing their hair and a razor trimming their sideburns.

"Squeak~"

The door of the wooden house was pushed open,

Qingcao walked in holding a few silk headbands in her hand: "Sister-in-law, I think this blue headband is good, it can just cover the scars on their foreheads."

Before she finished speaking, looking at the two people in the room, Qingcao smiled and said: "Oh! Who are these two handsome boys?"

There was another burst of laughter in the room.

Afterwards, Hua Qing stepped out: "I'll go tell the inner courtyard, let's get ready to go!"

Looking at the boy who was feeding the horses not far away, Hua Qing shouted: "Chu Zhan! Go and bring the horses over, and don't go to the stables after they change into new shoes.

"Yes, sister-in-law!"

Soon, Hua Qing came from the inner courtyard with Dan Mama beside Sun.

Dan Mama looked at the two people who were refreshed and covered their forehead scars with headbands, and looked at Hua Qing with satisfaction, and said: "Not bad! "

After the two got on the carriage, Alan and Xunshu rode in front, and the carriage followed behind, heading towards the gate of the mansion.

Before leaving Quyuan Street,

they ran into a group of plain-dressed knights riding tall horses.

After Alan and Xunshu saw Zhu Qinghu, the leader, they hurriedly bowed.

Zhu Qinghu habitually bowed in return, with some surprise in his eyes, and said: "Alan, you have changed too much!"

Di Jing, Ye Fang, Feng Dabao and other soldiers from the mansion, or An Woyi, Meng Xizhou and other young lieutenants who have made contributions in the northwest, all laughed.

"Hello, Commander Zhu! The brothers have changed a lot too! "Alan smiled and bowed.

Everyone looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed, especially Di Jing and Ye Fang who were wearing flowers in their hair.

The reason for going to the Marquis' Mansion for the banquet today was because Xu Zai Zhang and Zai Jing had passed the imperial examinations, and these lieutenants who had made contributions in the Western Army and received awards had sent gifts, and the Marquis' Mansion was expressing its gratitude for the banquet.

As for the other reasons, they had guessed some of them from Zhu Qinghu's hint of "dressing up well", so they all dressed up naturally.

"Are you going?"

Alan continued, "Madam said that the two of us should go to the Duke Yan's Mansion."

Zhu Qinghu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Go! "

Looking at the carriage behind, Hua Qing and Dan Mama lifted the curtain, Zhu Qinghu nodded and continued to walk towards the Marquis' Mansion.

The racecourse,

The horses ridden by Zhu Qinghu and others were tied to the railings around them,

The saddles were removed and pressed against the railings,

The autumn wind blew,

The manes on the horses' necks fluttered in the wind,

The horses lowered their heads from time to time,

and comfortably ate a few mouthfuls of fine grains in the wooden trough under the railings.

In the side hall of the front yard of the Xu family,

Zhu Qinghu, who was sitting at the front, raised his teacup and nodded to Yu Huguang beside him.

An Woyi, who was near the door, smelled the teacup and looked intoxicated: "The tea in this Marquis' Mansion is extraordinary. "

Meng Xizhou on the side had already taken a sip of tea and nodded in agreement.

At this time,

there was a voice coming from the direction of the side hall leading to the backyard.

When everyone looked towards the door,

they saw Xu Zaijing walking in holding Xu Xingdai's hand.

Seeing Xu Zaijing, everyone stood up and bowed, calling him "Wu Lang" and "Jing Ge'er".

Xu Zaijing smiled and bowed and nodded in return, then extended his hand to introduce: "Everyone, this is my eldest nephew, Dai Ge'er!"

Xu Xingdai on the side also followed suit and bowed, saying without any stage fright: "Hello everyone! You have worked hard!"

Everyone in the hall bowed to Xu Xingdai again.

Xu Zaijing looked at Zhu Qinghu and said, "Cousin, the main hall is ready. Mother asked you to go over and talk."

Zhu Qinghu nodded and said, "Okay!"

Then he led people to the main hall.

In the main hall,

On one side of the screen,

Sun was talking to Zhu Qinghu, Di Jing and others who were sitting on chairs with a smile.

"Wu Lang ordered them to report to the army, so they couldn't go to Xingqing Mansion with Wu Lang."

Zhu Qinghu pointed to the lower seat and said.

An Woyi and Meng Xizhou, who were sitting at the lower seat, bowed with regret.

Sun nodded and said, "He is also a good boy of our Great Zhou."

On the other side of the screen,

Mrs. Li sat between Xie and Hua Lan, and Wang Ruofu was next to Hua Lan.

Behind them stood Shu, Mo, Pin, Ru, Ming and several personal maids.

Xie held a handkerchief and whispered in Madam Li's ear: "The one sitting below Zhu Zijue is named Di. He has made many contributions in the Western Army. I heard from my father-in-law that he is already in the emperor's heart."

"The one below him is named Feng."

"The one who is talking to Jing'er is the grandson of the old medical officer Yu. He has a good relationship with Jing'er."

Hearing this,

Wang Ruofu, who had always been very casual, glanced outside, slightly curled her lips, shook her head and thought: 'He is a little old', um, like Lanzhou University.

Madam Li leaned over to look at the person outside the screen, without turning her head, and whispered slightly: "Studying medicine?"

Xie smiled and looked at Hualan, and said: "Yes! The medical skills are very superb."

Looking at Madam Li who nodded unconsciously, Hualan smiled and looked back at Shulan, saying: "Auntie, this person is different from others. Whether he can do it or not is another matter."

"Yes, yes!" Madam Li replied.

Then, Hualan raised her chin towards Cuichan.

Cuichan then walked around and whispered to Zhu Mama behind the screen.

Zhu Mama then whispered to Sun.

After talking for a while,

Zai Zhang and Zhu Qinghu accompanied Di Jing, Feng Dabao and others to the banquet.

Xu Zaijing was left in the main hall.

"Jing'er, have you found out that Doctor Yu has no engagement?"

While Sun was talking, Wang Ruofu and Madam Li came out accompanied by Xie and Hualan, and looked at Xu Zaijing with concern.

Xu Zaijing smiled: "Don't worry, mother, I have found out about this very clearly!"

Sun nodded: "Then after the banquet, when he comes to say goodbye, let Shujie stand next to me? That way the two children can see each other!"

As she spoke, Sun looked at Madam Li and Wang Ruofu for advice.

Wang Ruofu smiled, and Madam Li nodded repeatedly.

Xu Zaijing smiled at the few people who came out from the screen.

"Jing'er, this matter"

Xu Zaijing bowed: "Whether it succeeds or not, the child will definitely ask clearly."

"Okay!"

At 3 pm

In the front yard of the Marquis's mansion,

the guests were all happy.

The few people who did not dare to drink too much at the table looked at each other,

Di Jing raised his glass and said: "Sanlang, Wulang, Zhutou, it's getting late, how about we finish this glass of wine and say goodbye?"

Zhu Qinghu nodded: "Okay! Let's say goodbye after we finish drinking."

Then everyone toasted, and the maid of the Marquis's mansion brought the tea for sobering up, and another maid went to the backyard to tell Sun about this matter.

After everyone drank the sobering soup, they went directly to the main hall.

"Brother Yu, please stay, I have something to ask you."

Hearing this, Zai Zhang led everyone out, and Yu Huguang was left at the end.

"Wu Lang, what's the matter?"

"Brother Yu, there is an elder in the family of a relative, the aunt of Sheng Hongsheng, who works in the Ministry of Personnel, from the Sheng family in Jiying Lane. Now that the old lady is old, she often comes. Brother Yu, when you are free, I would like to ask you to take her pulse."

"It's a small matter."

"Come on, Brother Yu, let's have another drink."

After drinking, the two walked slowly towards the main hall.

When they arrived nearby, they saw Zhu Qinghu and others had already walked out.

"Brother, take your cousin and others there first, and we will come later."

Xu Zaijing said.

After hearing Zai Zhang's response, Xu Zaijing stretched out his hand: "Brother Yu, please."

Yu Huguang smiled and nodded, and walked into the main hall with Xu Zaijing.

"Today, thank you for the madam's hospitality."

Yu Huguang stood in the hall, bowed his hands and raised his head to speak, and his eyes could not help but see Sheng Shulan standing next to Sun, who was wearing a girl's bun.

"Today's treat."

Yu Huguang hurriedly lowered his head and finished his words.

Sun glanced at Shulan and said:

"Brother Guang, you are too polite! It's cold this afternoon and you have drunk wine. Don't ride too fast when you go back!"

"Yes, yes!"

In the afternoon sunshine,

Xu Zaijing and Yu Huguang walked through the door and corridor in the yard and walked towards the racecourse.

Yu Huguang looked at Xu Zaijing: "Brother Jing, why do you always look at me?"

Xu Zaijing smiled and shook his head: "Nothing."

Yu Huguang nodded and opened his mouth to speak, but seeing Xu Zaijing turned his head and looked forward, he didn't speak after all.

When they arrived at the racecourse,

there were few horses near the fence,

someone was walking out of the carriage that had just stopped.

When they got closer,

Xu Zaijing, Hua Qing and Dan Mama who got off the carriage said: "How is it?"

Dan's mother and Hua Qing smiled and saluted Xu Zai Jingfu, and looked at each other: "Back to the young master, that grandmother has three sons and one daughter. One is a school captain under the command of Marquis Zhongjing, and the two are in charge of the Duke in the suburbs of Beijing. Dazhuangzi of the mansion.”

Xu Zaijing smiled and said: "Not bad!"

Dan's mother nodded and whispered: "Mother Du's daughter has fallen in love with the boy who is looking for books."

Xu Zaijing was stunned: "No, I think Alan is more handsome, why?"

Dan's mother looked back at Alan, shook her head and said, "That silly boy is too honest! After going to Du's house, he was like a gourd with its mouth cut off, saying nothing."

"That girl thought that Alan had her heart set on something, so she didn't choose him."

Hearing this, Xu Zaijing nodded: "This is really a pity!" After looking at Yu Huguang, he continued: "What a pity!"

"Who says it isn't?"

Mother Dan patted her clothes and said regretfully.

"Then young master, are we going to report to the madam?"

Xu Zaijing nodded: "Go."

Yu Huguang on the side walked towards his mount.

Xu Zaijing walked over and helped him tie the saddle.

The saddles and harness are all tied up,

Yu Huguang untied the reins on the fence and prepared to mount his horse.

When Xu Zaijing couldn't hold it in anymore and was about to speak, Yu Huguang, who was standing on the other side of the horse, said: "Wu Lang, who is the girl standing next to Madam today...?"

Xu Zaijing couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "Oh! That sister is a relative of the Sheng family! She is the granddaughter of the old man who asked Brother Yu to diagnose his pulse just now."

"Oh!" Yu Huguang nodded, thinking about the conversation he just heard, and said heartily: "I wonder if there is a marriage?"

Looking at Xu Zaijing nodding his head with a straight face,

Yu Huguang's eyes suddenly widened, and he said a little disappointed: "Oh."

Yu Huguang has left.

Xu’s backyard,

In the main hall,

"Goro is back!"

The little girl at the door preaches the message.

Mrs. Li, who was absentmindedly drinking tea, immediately turned her head and looked towards the door.

Seeing this scene, Wang Ruofu, who was leisurely eating melon seeds, pursed his lips imperceptibly.

Shulan glanced at her mother with an embarrassed look on her face, then looked out with hesitation in her eyes.

Open the curtain,

Xu Zaijing lowered his head and walked in, holding his hands in his hands: "Mother, aunt!"

Seeing Xu Zaijing’s actions,

Several Lans and the close female envoys and nuns standing aside gave Xu Zaijing a gift in return.

"Jing'er, how are you?" asked Sun.

Xu Zaijing glanced at Shulan with a smile, then sat on a chair, picked up the tea cup and said, "Mother, Brother Yu said he wanted to check the pulse of Mrs. Sheng's family quickly!"

After saying that, Xu Zaijing, who had a lot to say, lowered his head and drank tea.

After hearing Xu Zaijing's words, everyone in the hall looked at each other, and there was a sudden silence in the hall.

Mrs. Li held her handkerchief and whispered: "This is."

Shulan lowered her head.

Feeling the silence around him, Xu Zaijing, who had not finished drinking his tea, raised his head and looked around suspiciously.

Minglan on the side rolled her eyes, and through her familiarity with Xu Zaijing in the school, she said crisply: "Cousin Jing, do you mean that the eldest brother is anxious and wants to see the elders?"

As soon as Minglan finished speaking, Rulan pulled down her sleeve, and after Minglan looked over, she quickly shook her head to signal her to stop talking.

After hearing this, Xu Zaijing put down his tea cup, smiled and nodded repeatedly: "Sixth sister hit the nail on the head!"

The atmosphere in the hall relaxed.

After nodding apologetically to Wang Ruofu and Mrs. Li, Mrs. Sun frowned and looked at Xu Zaijing and said, "Next time, speak more clearly and clearly!"

"Yes, mother!"

Xu Zaijing stood up with a smile and cupped his hands.

Sun shook her head helplessly: "Sit down!"

Wang Ruofu on the side also smiled and nodded. Suddenly she looked back at Liu's mother and said, "Brother Jing, have you told Mr. Yu that Shulan is engaged to be married? "

As soon as these words came out,

The hall was quiet again, and everyone had different expressions.

Xu Zaijing smiled and said: "Don't worry, aunt, I have already told Brother Yu about this! But he still wants to check the old lady's pulse!"

Pinlan listened to Xu Zaijing's words and smiled and glanced at Shulan, who was blushing.

Two days later,

Jiying Lane,

Sheng family,

At the second gate,

Sheng Hong and Sheng Wei walked towards the old medical officer Yu who got off the carriage with smiles on their faces.

"Sir, please slow down!"

Sheng Hong stretched out his hand to support the old medical officer Yu and said.

"Thank you, Mr. Shanda!" Old Medical Officer Yu said with a smile.

Looking at Sheng Wei beside him, Medical Officer Yu nodded.

When Yu Huguang, who was carrying the medicine box on his back, came over, Sheng Wei stretched out his hand to signal and said with a smile: "Sir, Mr. Yu, please come in."

"please."

Shouantang,

In the hall,

The old lady sat on the chair with a kind smile, rolled up her sleeves and placed her arms on the pulse diagnosis pillow on the table.

Looking at Yu Huguang who was diagnosing her pulse, the eldest lady looked at each other with satisfaction.

on the other side,

Wang Ruofu sat under Sheng Hong and said to the old medical officer Yu with a smile: "Sir, my natal relatives said that Mr. Xiao Yu will enter the palace in the next few days?"

"That's what the eldest lady said! His Majesty's birthday is coming soon. I can't bear it any longer, so I have to let Guang'er go."

After hearing what Old Medical Officer Yu said,

Sheng Wei and his wife looked at Yu Huguang with even more satisfaction.

Medical Officer Yu has been practicing medicine for many years and has known countless people.

Therefore, after the old medical officer looked at Shulan's face who was bringing him tea, his smile became even brighter.

Turn around,

The Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty,

Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye, who came for the rehearsal, walked in front of the hall.

"Jing'er, why do I feel that His Majesty's birthday ceremony this time is much more spectacular than when we were children?"

Xu Zaijing looked at the colorful pavilions around him and nodded: "Ye'er, you are right! What will you perform this time?"

Gu Tingye: "Hehe, of course it's my Gu family's spearmanship! Here, that's the big spear I'm going to swing!"
