But noble ladies from inner chambers? I don’t know many.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still, it’s rare to see a woman fishing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they were noble girls from inner chambers, the men refrained from staring too long and returned their attention to their own fishing rods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got one!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he turned back, Liang Han grinned and lifted his rod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fish half a foot long was thrashing on the hook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He unhooked it, tossed it into the bucket, smirked at Xu Zaijing, and said, “Catch, take it to the side and have them slice it for sashimi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jingge, want a plate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Liang Han’s smug expression, Xu Zaijing shook his head: “I’ll pass.

Why are you looking at me like that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing,” Xu Zaijing laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Empress had given birth to a son; as the Empress’s adopted daughter raised since childhood in the palace, Princess Pingning had played a major role and was thus credited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Princess Pingning and the Duke Mansion need not take sides—they should simply support Zhao Fang wholeheartedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, with Princess Pingning now having a younger brother, the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion has an heir, so the faction that might have otherwise shifted allegiance due to the lack of an heir remains intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For ordinary imperial clan princesses and county ladies, marrying Qi Heng would be no easy feat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in the capital today, any wealthy family with connections can marry an imperial clan woman for five or ten thousand taels of silver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Gu Tingyi, who is about to marry, brings a salt estate as dowry—its annual profit alone equals that sum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Xu Zaijing continued calmly watching his fishing rod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From behind the assembled screen, occasional laughter from the girls drifted out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifteen minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An old woman carried a carp toward the back of the group—likely to have it prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the teasing glances from Liang Han and the others, Xu Zaijing pursed his lips slightly in annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun dipped westward,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zaijing and the others rose; maids and servants began packing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the group mounted their horses and carriages to leave, the imperial clan noble ladies nearby also stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zaijing’s party rode past them; Liang Han followed the girls’ gazes and glanced with a grin at Xu Zaijing and Qi Heng beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zaijing kept his eyes straight ahead; Qi Heng, however, could not bear the attention and turned to glance at the imperial clan ladies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After meeting their gaze, Qi Heng nodded politely, as was his habit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Qi Heng meant nothing by it, his natural good looks meant even that simple nod made the nearby noble ladies blush and turn away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Xu Zaijing’s group passed, the noble ladies whispered among themselves for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the hour of Shen (after 4 p.m.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xingguo Lane,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningyuan Marquis Mansion,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the second gate,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Shi stepped out of the carriage with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yu Anyan standing beside the carriage, offering a light hand to help, Bai Shi laughed: “Second son’s wife, I’m not yet so frail I need your arm! Go play with Tingyi behind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Bai Shi stepped down, leaning on Chang Mama’s arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?” Yu Anyan stared, confused, at Gu Tingye beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wife, do as your mother says.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh!” Yu Anyan smiled and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the carriage behind rolled up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After stopping, Pingmei and Tingyi stepped out in turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tingyi held a finely carved, precious wooden box in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once everyone had arrived,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gu family prepared to enter the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pingmei, tall as she was, scanned the surroundings and, observing the expressions of the Gu family’s maids and old women, said with slight puzzlement: “Today at Jinming Pond, the servants all seem cheerful!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Bai Shi, Gu Tingye, and the others glanced around; seeing the smiles on the maids’ and servants’ faces, Gu Tingye asked: “What’s going on today?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Anyan smiled: “Master, the maids and servants are so happy because of Sister-in-law.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Me?” Pingmei exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyan nodded eagerly, glancing at Qingzhi, who stood Ditou  beside Pingmei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A similar scene unfolded at the Chai family residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they had left Jinming Pond earlier and lived farther away, the Chai family was now entering the inner courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chai Zhengzheng walked beside her mother-in-law, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Mu, walking just outside Zhengzheng, leaned forward and grinned: “Madam, Lady, the servants are so happy because of our girl.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The servant Lan, who serves Fifth Young Master Xu, has become betrothed to Qingzhi, who serves Ningyuan Marquis’s First Daughter. Since the Xu family arrived at Jinming Pond, Lan has been gambling all afternoon outside the garden.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chai Lady  frowned slightly: “A Xu family servant gambles outside the garden, and our servants are this happy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Mu glanced at Chai Zhengzheng, then shook her head smiling: “Madam, it’s mainly because that young man had incredible luck—he won so much in half a day that even the Xu family’s flat cart couldn’t hold it all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?” Chai Lady  looked at Yun Mu in surprise, then glanced skeptically at the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chai Zhengzheng nodded, smiling: “Mother, it’s true.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Mu’s smile faded slightly: “Because of Qingzhi, that young man gave many of his winnings to our maids and the Gu family’s servants, which is why—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chai Lady  nodded, glancing at her daughter, whose smile had dimmed: “Were any of the gifts valuable? If so, we can’t accept them for free!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing her mother’s gaze, Chai Zhengzheng looked up and smiled: “Don’t worry, Mother—nothing valuable, mostly things worth ten or a few dozen wen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s good,” Chai Lady  said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Mu, watching Zhengzheng’s expression, blinked and smiled: “Madam, Lady, Girl, I heard a maid from Second Daughter Ningyuan Marquis say that young man Lan—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the three of them turn to look at her, Yun Mu continued: “He’s prepared a great deal to marry Qingzhi—and interestingly, everything he got was from gambling himself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard they have tweezers, small knives, whetstones; porcelain, candles, warming vessels; tea grinders, incense burners, flower seeds—so many things it’s hard to list them all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chai Zhengzheng’s sister-in-law, Lu Shi, laughed: “You’re quite good at saving money—everything’s covered. Looks like your future won’t be bad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Chai nodded and smiled: “Gambling’s so fierce it’s practically a craft.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint smile appeared on Chai Zhengzheng’s face: “I’m just afraid that if he gambles too much, merchants in Bianjing will see that boy and refuse to let him enter the arena.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhengzheng’s right—there’s definitely a chance!” Madam Chai laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since they’ve given our servants so many gifts, on the wedding day we should offer some silver as a congratulatory present,” Madam Chai added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Madam,” Yun Mu smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at the inner courtyard,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the room,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chai Zhengzheng helped Madam Chai sit down and said: “Mother, Sister-in-law, have you heard about a young boy who passed the county examination last month?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“County examination?” Lu Shi sat beside her, slightly puzzled. “Zhengzheng, none of our relatives have sons taking the county exam now—we haven’t paid much attention.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chai Zhengzheng smiled and nodded: “Sister-in-law, Mother, this boy is only seven years old! He’s Lady Hualan’s younger brother from her natal family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Chai Zhengzheng sat down to Madam Chai’s right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? At such a young age—that’s truly rare!” Madam Chai said with admiration. “Seven? Is he Lady Hualan’s full younger brother?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, Mother—he’s a junior son. Lady Hualan is the sixth daughter of the Sheng household, Minglan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sheng Minglan? I remember you mentioned her, Zhengzheng—this girl is said to be excellent at tossing arrows? Then by the Sheng family’s ranking, he should be called Seventh Young Master?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly, Mother, you remember well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Chai smiled and said: “If Seventh Young Master of the Sheng household keeps passing exams like this, by the time Sixth Daughter Sheng is ready for matchmaking, many households in the capital will be eager for her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Shi rose and took the tea cup from a maid, placing it before Madam Chai: “Mother, we don’t need to wait for Seventh Young Master Sheng. Next imperial examination, just see how the two Sheng boys perform—we’ll know then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Lu Shi gave Chai Zhengzheng a knowing glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That glance made Chai Zhengzheng’s eyes dart away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Second Young Master Chai is still unmarried, Chai Zhengzheng can still remain secluded in the inner quarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, in the capital there are still noble maidens like Zhang’s Fifth Daughter of the British Duke’s house and Rong’s Flying Swallow—Chai Zhengzheng isn’t particularly conspicuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the first day of the third month,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether sunny or rainy, no one in Bianjing’s wealthy households could be stopped from leaving the city for outings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bianjing is the foremost city of the Great Zhou, where nobles, officials, and wealthy merchants gather. Even those who aren’t rich still have enough spare cash to go out for spring outings and enjoy the scenery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the weather warmed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cotton curtains at the entrance of the Sheng family’s school had been removed, allowing those inside to see directly outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this morning of the early month,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun was hidden by clouds, leaving the sky dim and gloomy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today’s weather matched Qi Heng’s expression: somewhat gloomy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Lans who arrived at school early soon noticed Qi Heng seemed in low spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Lan, wanting to speak, hesitated, then said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the morning,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid Master Zhuang’s voice, everyone began their mid-class break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zaijing turned to look at Buwei, and seeing Buwei limping with a grimace, he asked: “Buwei, what’s wrong today? Hurt yourself?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Hua Xiang also looked at Buwei with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buwei forced a smile: “Fifth Young Master, I’m fine—just slipped and fell yesterday.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you apply ointment?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I did.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahead, Gu Tingye looked at Qi Heng beside him and asked: “Yuanruo, since you came to school today, you’ve been scowling—what’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Heng, unable to hide his mood, forced a smile: “Uncle, I’m fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind Qi Heng, Chang Feng also sensed something was amiss: “Young Duke, if something’s troubling you, say it—Jingge and Gu Er might help you think it through. You know how capable they are!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Heng paused, thoughtful, then turned to Xu Zaijing: “Jingge, do you remember the day of the first, when we fished at Jinming Pond?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, I remember. What about it?” Xu Zaijing nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh!” Qi Heng sighed deeply, shaking his head in frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not looking at Minglan, he said: “The next day, when I returned from school, Mother asked me what I’d done on the first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buwei, who had just brought tea, sighed helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, didn’t you just wait for me after the contest, then we went fishing together? What else?” Xu Zaijing asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Heng pressed his lips: “The Kang Prince’s daughter-in-law came to our house on the second day, to propose marriage for the Kang Prince’s granddaughter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough! Cough! Cough!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind Qi Heng, Ru Lan spat out her tea; Mo Lan choked and coughed uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Ru Lan had tilted her head left as she spat, so the tea missed Qi Heng entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Mo Lan’s freshly written calligraphy copy was soaked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minglan, who had been listening so intently, had her teacup at her lips but hadn’t drunk—she escaped unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Tingye sat upright and glanced at Xu Zaijing: “What did Yuanruo do on the first that made the Kang Prince’s household come to propose?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zaijing thought a moment, then looked at the frustrated Qi Heng and hesitated: “Yuanruo… did you perhaps smile and nod at a few royal princesses when we left?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Heng closed his eyes and nodded painfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the three Lans, hearing this, wore different expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did the Princess Consort scold you?” Xu Zaijing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t she give you a lesson?” Gu Tingye interjected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Heng opened his eyes, glanced apologetically at Buwei, and shook his head: “Mother didn’t hit me—she gave Buwei five strokes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the looks from Xu Zaijing and Gu Tingye, Buwei winced and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zaijing glanced at Buwei and said: “Well, Yuanruo, learn your lesson—don’t go casually flirting with other girls. To you it’s trivial, but to them it’s serious—sometimes even matters of life and death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Heng nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yuanruo, how did the Princess Consort respond to the Kang Prince’s household?” Gu Tingye asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Lan, who had just stopped coughing, seemed to choke again and burst into another fit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Heng pressed his lips, resisting the urge to look at Minglan, and said: “Mother said I’m too young, with no accomplishments yet, and feared I’d drag down the Kang Prince’s noble daughter—so she declined.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Chang Feng sighed regretfully: “Tsk, Young Duke, what a pity. That’s a daughter of a royal prince—if only I could marry her—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between coughs, Mo Lan glared angrily at Chang Feng and shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m just stating the truth,” Chang Feng said indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Mo Lan could reply, Chang Feng added enviously: “Young Duke, this is really the trouble of having a good family and being handsome!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Heng gave Chang Feng a helpless look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2740,"2026-06-20T10:32:41.888Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e8578e2a18daa8bfd21e68dbd6b212411aef98ce1b726056f9878e3f02620746","i-am-the-xu-family-s-son-chapter-765","i-am-the-xu-family-s-son-chapter-763",790,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-the-xu-family-s-son-cover.jpg"]
