Chapter 534: The Nameless and Other Stories [Thank You! Goodbye! I Owe You 40k More]
Xu Zaijing smiled and said, "Yes! Brother Dai is not only smart, but he also seems to have a good memory!"
Rongxian asked doubtfully: "Memory?"
Xu Zaijing nodded and said:
"I remember when Brother Zhong was one month old and Brother Dai was seeing off guests with me, my mother mentioned to him how to address Miss Feiyan. I didn't expect that this boy actually remembered it."
"ah?"
Rongxian looked at Xu Xingdai opposite in surprise.
Rong Feiyan, who was a little shy and secretly happy, sat on the other side of Rongxian.
After hearing Xu Zaijing's words, there was a look of memory in her eyes, and she quickly remembered what happened that day.
In Rong Feiyan's vague memory, what she remembered most clearly was the large crowd of children in the Sun family's yard that day.
in the hall,
Others also heard Xu Zaijing’s words.
Mrs. Wu looked at Mrs. Sun with questioning eyes. Seeing Mrs. Sun frowning as she thought about it, Mrs. Wu said, "Sister, you won't forget, right?"
Sun smiled and nodded: "Jing'er didn't tell me, I would have forgotten it! But now I have some impression, yes, I told Brother Dai."
"Oh, you have such a good memory at such a young age. You look like you are good at reading!" Mrs. Fuchanghou from across the street praised her.
Xie looked at her son in surprise and said, "Brother Dai, how do you remember this?"
Xu Xingdai pursed his lips in embarrassment, looked at the people around him and said, "That day, this aunt from the Rong family, aunt Tingyi and the aunt from the Chai family were all equally beautiful. I, I will remember Already."
Children's words are unbridled,
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall laughed again.
Ting Yi, who was next to Pingmei, looked at Xu Xing with an expression that couldn't suppress his lips and said, "You kid."
Mrs. Wu smiled and said: "Hey, sister, this generation of brothers in our family has small mouths as if they were covered with honey, and their words can make people feel sweet to the heart."
Rong Xian, who was beside Xu Zaijing, asked with a wicked smile: "Brother Dai, do you still remember the other aunts?"
Xu Xingdai nodded attentively, clasped his fingers and said, "There are also aunts from the Zhang family and Hai family."
Listening to Xu Xingdai's childlike words, Mrs. Wu looked at Mrs. Sun and said with a smile: "Sister, our brother Dai is doing a great job. I have remembered everything that should be remembered."
Ms. Sun, who was sitting aside, clapped Mrs. Wu's hand with some annoyance.
After hearing these words from Xu Xingdai, the expression on Rong Feiyan's face changed slightly.
Except for Zhang Jiawu Niang and Gu Tingyi, who have marriage partners in their families, the others mentioned by Xu Xingdai are all noble girls from various families who match the age of his brother-in-law Xu Zaijing.
It is not clear whether Xu Xingdai remembered some of these from seeing off guests before, or whether he recently attended various birthday banquets with his grandmother and mother, which deepened his memory.
At this time,
The female envoy of the Xu family lifted the curtain from outside the house and came in. She bowed and said, "Master Marquis, madam, our concierge said that he saw the Chai family and the carriage of the British Duke Zhang's family."
Xu Minghua and Sun stood up, nodded towards the Fuchanghou family and said, "Ronghou and the eldest lady will wait a moment. We will go and greet them."
"Hou Xu, madam, go away!" Hou Fuchang stood up and said with a smile.
Mrs. Sun smiled and waved her hand, indicating that Mrs. Xie, Pingmei and others did not need to follow and stayed in the hall to accompany the guests.
soon,
The cotton curtain in the hall was opened by the female servant.
Xu Minghua and Sun accompanied the British duchess and Mrs. Chai, followed by two noble ladies, Yi Wuniang and Zhengzheng, who came in chatting and laughing.
Everyone who stayed in the hall stood up and saluted.
Looking at the somewhat crowded hall,
Mrs. Sun smiled and said to the British duchess and Mrs. Chai: "Madam, why don't we go to the backyard hall to talk, leaving this place to the Marquis and the others."
As she said that, Mrs. Sun looked at Madam Wu and Madam Fuchang Hou inquiringly.
"We are guests. It is up to you, the master, to decide how to arrange the arrangements." The British princess replied with a smile.
Mrs. Chai on the side smiled and nodded in agreement.
then,
The crowd divided into two groups, and the ladies and ladies all walked towards the backyard of the Xu family.
As soon as the women and girls left in a huff, the main hall in the front yard seemed quite empty.
Xu Zaijing and his brother sat down again with the guests.
After everyone took a sip of tea,
It was a little quiet in the hall,
Xu Minghua, the Marquis of Yongyi, was a veteran on the battlefield, while Marquis Fuchang was an idle, lustful and idle man.
Rongxian was dawdling among the imperial guards, while Zai Zhang had been studying.
It's really hard for everyone to find a common topic.
When the people here were thinking about what to talk about, Xu Zaijing said: "Brother Xian, I went to Beizhou before. I remember you gave me a list of several generals in the army. I don't know what their abilities are. ?”
Marquis Fuchang, who was at the head, nodded quickly, looked at Rong Xian and said, "Erlang, Marquis Xu's eyes on the lieutenant colonel are notoriously vicious. Please tell me!"
Xu Minghua put down the tea cup and looked very interested.
Xu Minghua looked at him and smiled. Rongxian put down the tea cup with some embarrassment and said:
"Xu Hou, in fact, the list that Brother Jing mentioned was mostly people who came to see my family's momentum. There are so many people."
When I went to Beizhou from Bianjing,
On the way, Xu Zaijing had also seen the list given by Rong Xian. Some of them had names and some had official positions. He also thought that he could pay him a visit if he happened to stop by.
But the incident in Beizhou happened suddenly, and Xu Zaijing quickly went to Beizhou to save people, and put the matter behind him.
At this time, Xu Zaijing's heart didn't waver when he heard what Rong Xian said about the people in front of him.
"This commander named Qin is from Kaizhou. His ancestors have been military attachés for generations. His ancestral home is not far from my maternal grandfather's house and he has some relatives! He has a fiery and impatient personality, which offended his superiors in the army!"
"After he was dismissed from office, he came to my family under the guidance of his elders. My father used his sister's influence to help him find a military position."
Zai Zhang listened with great interest and asked: "What is this man's name?"
Rong Xian thought for a while: "This guy has a nickname, called Qin Ming, the fire-killing guy."
Xu Zaijing, who was drinking tea, was stunned for a moment. He always felt that the name in Rong Xian's mouth made him feel inexplicably familiar.
Zai Zhang said: "This nickname is quite strange."
Rongxian nodded: "Hey, he's just a soldier in charge of the seven or eight hundred troops, not worth mentioning."
After Rong Xian finished speaking, he looked at Xu Zaijing and said, "Brother Jing, apart from what I said, who else is on the list?"
Xu Zaijing thought for a moment and said, "There seems to be another Bozhou surnamed Hua."
Hearing this, Rong Xian nodded with a clear face: "Oh, I remember this guy! Speaking of which, he has some relationship with Brother Jing!"
Xu Zaijing looked confused and said: "Is it related to me? Could it be that he is related to the flower lady of the Qingyun family?"
Rong Xian shook his head: "No, no, brother Jing, do you remember that you went to the former King Yan's vassal to cause trouble?"
Xu Zaijing nodded.
Rong Xian said: "This boy named Hua was originally a town official in Qingzhou. He was stationed in the important place Qingfeng Mountain. Somehow he got involved with the generals under the command of the former King Yan, and his military position was stripped to the end."
Xu Zaijing frowned: "Is it related to the former King of Yan? Brother Xian, you"
Rong Xian smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Brother Jing, don't worry, I've checked this person's background carefully, but he's just a man with a coveted position, and he was taken advantage of by someone who took advantage of the former King Yan's affairs and used money to forcefully bite him." ”
"My family has some business in Qingzhou, and the manager is familiar with this boy named Hua. After learning about this, he pushed him to me."
"This boy named Hua is skilled in bow and horse. Both his sister and mine have the character 'Yan' in their names, so I recommended him to go to Bozhou to be the infantry battalion commander of the Xiang Army."
Xu Zaijing nodded: "What is this person's name?"
Rongxian smiled: "Hua Rong."
Xu Zaijing's eyes widened: "Oh?"
Looking at Xu Zaijing's expression, Rong Xian, who was misunderstood, laughed and said: "Haha, Brother Jing, what a coincidence? There is also the word "Rong" in his name."
Xu Zaijing nodded: "What a coincidence!"
After saying that, Xu Zaijing looked at Xu Minghua who was looking up and said, "Father, since brother Xian specifically said that Hua Rong is skilled in bow and horse, if you have time, you might want to check it out."
The superior, Xu Minghua, who was drinking tea, put down his tea cup and said, "That's fine. If Marquis Rong also has this intention, he will ask this young man to come to Beijing in February next year. If he is really good at it, there will definitely be a place for him in the army." ”
Marquis Fuchang on the side quickly raised his hand: "Marquis Xu said, this person will definitely come to Beijing!"
Xu Minghua smiled and nodded with an unknown meaning in his eyes. He was well aware of his youngest son's miraculous powers!
Before the war between Shan Shuo and Qian Bai Gao, all the people recommended by Xu Zaijing to the army gradually grew up to be strong generals in the army.
After the Baigao War, Xu Zaijing also helped a recommended young lieutenant named Liao Yeye to join the army.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
According to a letter from Zai Duan, the eldest son, this young man named Liao has a brave and fierce style. After being cultivated, he will definitely have a bright future.
Since the younger son talked about this unknown person named Hua today, Xu Minghua was very interested to see if this person was still a talent that could be made.
Rong Xian looked at Xu Zaijing with a smile on his face and said: "Brother Jing, good brother! With just one word from me, you dare to recommend this person to Xu Hou."
Xu Zaijing smiled: "Brother Xian, are there still people on the list?"
"Oh! There's one more."
Rong Xiang just spoke,
At the screen leading to the backyard, Dan's mother came out from behind, bowed to the people in the hall, and said: "Master Marquis, Madam asked Wu Lang to accompany the ladies of several families to the racecourse. Look at our good horse."
Rongxian stopped talking and stood up and said: "Yes, yes, brother Jing, let's go to the racecourse! Let me see how your family trains horses!"
Marquis Fuchang, who was at the head, glared and said: "You are already married, why are you just joining in the fun? Just sit here!"
Seeing Xu Zaijing helpless, Yong Yihou did not interrupt, Rong Xian could only squeeze out a smile and sat back on the chair.
Xu Zaijing stood up, bowed and saluted: "Father, Marquis Rong, I will go over first."
Xu Minghua waved his hand: "Go ahead! Don't offend the guests."
"yes."
After Xu Zaijing responded, he turned to the side and said, "Mother Dan, I will go directly through the front yard."
Mother Dan smiled and gave a blessing, then turned and left the hall.
Wearing a big cloak,
Xu Zaijing led three female envoys out of the house.
There is no wind today,
The winter sunshine feels warm on my body.
After walking a few steps, Xu Zaijing stood still, looked back at Qingcao and the other three people behind him, and said, "Go, have someone get some carrots and fruits from the cellar, pack them up, and send them to the racecourse."
"Yes, sir."
In the racecourse, the good horses of Xu Minghua, Zai Zhang and others were all roaming around in the fence.
Looking at Xu Zaijing approaching, Uncle Yin said in a hoarse voice with a puzzled look on his face: "Jing'er, aren't there some distinguished guests visiting today? Why are you here by yourself?"
"Master, some noble ladies will come over to watch the horses later. Mother asked me to accompany them."
After hearing this, Uncle Yin nodded, hummed, and walked into the stable.
Soon, Alan and Xun Shu walked out quickly and began to fix the saddles on the backs of the horses such as Little Liju and Xu Zaijing.
After a while,
Some distance away in the direction of the falcon room,
Chatter came from the passage leading to the backyard.
Xu Zaijing turned around and looked,
I saw that under the leadership of the tall eldest sister Pingmei,
Gu Tingyi, Chai Zhengzheng and Rong Feiyan, wearing winter cloaks and ear protection, held hand warmers in their hands and led their respective maids towards this side with smiles on their faces.
A group of people walked out of the aisle and came to the racecourse. Several people were wearing expensive brocades, which shone in the sun. The people following the noble ladies also gradually dispersed.
Only then did Xu Zaijing see Chai Zhengzheng's personal servant Yun Mu walking in front with Qing Cao carrying a basket with a smile on her face.
Behind the two of them were the Rong family's female envoys, Xibu and Ningxiang, who were with Yun Xiang and Hua Xiang.
The nuns in each family also carried portable chairs in their hands.
Seeing this scene, Xu Zaijing waved his hand in a friendly manner.
Looking at my little brother waving in the distance,
Pingmei looked around and said:
"Don't go that far to look for him over there. This side is facing the sun and sheltered from the wind!"
"When I was in the boudoir, I often sat here and played. Let's sit here this time, okay?"
Hearing this,
The fifth lady of the Zhang family nodded without scruples and said, "I listen to Sister Pingmei."
Gu Tingyi said: "What my sister-in-law said is that it's quite a distance there."
Chai Zhengzheng and Rong Feiyan also said hello one after another.
After everyone has finished speaking,
Qingcao, who was following behind, said: "Big girl, slave."
As soon as Qingcao made a sound, several people in front turned around and looked over.
Pingmei smiled and said, "Little girl, what's wrong?"
Qingcaofu bowed and said a little embarrassedly:
"Girl, there is a stove in the wooden house over there. It might be inconvenient for the ladies to have hot tea if they sit here."
Pingmei smiled: "It's okay. We are not like your young master. We have been here for a long time. We drank a lot of tea just now. We will be thirsty for a long time."
Qingcao nodded immediately after hearing this: "Yes!"
As they spoke, everyone turned to the right. Under the leadership of Ping Mei, they ducked through the wooden fence and walked toward the wall of the Falcon Room.
Arriving at the wall,
Qingxia, Mama Fan, Grandma Chang, etc. hurriedly opened the chairs.
Pingmei smiled and sat down on the chair, holding a hand warmer in one hand and shielding the dazzling sunlight with the other hand, and waved to her little brother who was in a daze.
Gu Tingyi also sat down, looked at the scenery on the south side and said: "Sister-in-law, how many times have I come to Xu's house, but this is the first time I sit here."
Pingmei smiled: "Is the angle suddenly different?"
Gu Tingyi nodded repeatedly.
When Pingmei looked to the other side with a smile,
However, he saw Zhang Jiawu Niang, Chai Zhengzheng and Rong Feiyan, their eyes slightly glaring, looking at the racecourse with some surprise.
Pingmei followed the three people's gaze and looked,
This angle was different, and Pingmei also saw two big-bellied horses in the field that had been blocked by other horses just now, one was Yuci's Lijuan and the other was Beiliao Longju.
"Haha! Don't spread this news!"
Pingmei smiled.
