Xing You heaved a sigh of relief and stepped back happily.

Fang Yuanzhi secretly admired Xing You's words.Let's talk about the unimportant things first, give the emperor a chance to deny, and finally say the most critical matters, because if you deny it before, you will lose face.

So don't look at the fact that Xing You made two requests the first time he met the saint.He was afraid that he had already concluded that one of them would definitely be allowed, as a meeting gift from the emperor.

If the emperor allowed to participate in the banquet of officials and businessmen, and someone made a request at the banquet, would the emperor agree or not?The situation is likely to be more complicated.

Moreover, the emperor originally went to Jiangnan with a private server. If he participated in the banquet with great fanfare, what is the significance of the private server?

However, when they met for the first time, the request they made was to exempt money, food and taxes. This magistrate Xing can be regarded as loyal to the people.

After a while Cai Yongzhi came in to face the saint alone.

Commander Cai was born as a warrior, and his speech was much simpler and more direct, just to show his loyalty.

Commander Cai even proposed that all the soldiers of Suzhou Guard come to escort him.

The emperor didn't agree, but instead asked: "I heard that my uncle works under Commander Cai?"

Cai Yongzhi was shocked, didn't he hear?who is it?
He even turned his eyes to Fang Yuanzhi who was beside the emperor, hoping she would give her a hint.

Fang Yuanzhi blinked, but Cai Yongzhi still didn't understand.

Liang Fang coughed lightly: "Master Qianhu Fangli's first wife is the Queen Mother's cousin."

Cai Yongzhi's mind was in confusion: "Isn't Fang Li's wife surnamed Jiang? When will a queen mother's cousin be a wife?"

However, he quickly regained his senses: "Lord Fang is hardworking and honest, he is worthy of being the queen of Nanhe Hou Ye, who came from a family of generals!"

Zhu Jianshen said: "Then let Mr. Fang lead the troops with him."

"The commander's decree!"

Fang Yuanzhi was stunned, his father was also involved?
If the emperor made a mistake, would his family still survive?
She wanted to cry without tears!
Zhu Jianshen said a few more words of encouragement and praise to Cai Yongzhi, and then asked him to step down.

Zhu Jianshen signaled Liang Fang to back down.

Seeing that Fang Yuanzhi was a little restless, he simply stood up, faced Fang Yuanzhi, and said seriously: "Yuanzhi, I want to see the person behind you!"

Fang Yuanzhi was taken aback, and quickly raised his eyes to look at Zhu Jianshen, seeing him staring at him with deep eyes, Fang Yuanzhi didn't dare to look at him, and quickly avoided his eyes.

Behind her is Xu Chun.

But Xu Chun is only an important executor at best.Behind Xu Chun is the entire Xu family.The head of the Xu family...Xu Lin, who was sitting in a wheelchair, talking and laughing with a blanket on her lap, suddenly appeared in Fang Yuanzhi's mind.

Will Xu Lin want to see the emperor?

He must have thought about it, otherwise, why would Zhu Jianshen be arranged in Suzhou City?
Fang Yuanzhi thought for a moment, then said, "Let me try."

She wanted to ask Xu Chun first.

Fang Yuanzhi went directly to Mu Liang.

Mu Liang frowned: "The third master is very busy these days, so I don't have time to come here."

Fang Yuanzhi pondered for a long while before making up his mind: "Can you ask Xu Lin, the elder of the Xu family, someone wants to see him."

Mu Liang was startled, then nodded, "I'll make arrangements."

Mu Liang quickly replied: "Master Xu family welcomes Yuan Zhi to bring friends to visit him."

Fang Yuanzhi chewed on this sentence over and over again.

She was actually a little worried about Zhu Jianshen.

With nothing to rely on, he followed her to Suzhou.What if Xu Lin put forward some excessive demands and turned him into a puppet completely?
On the surface, he appears to be the supreme emperor, but in Fang Yuanzhi's view, he is a poor wretch who can't even succeed in begging for death.

When she first met him, he was dying of poison.She rescued him with medicine, but she was not confident that she would be able to save him; he was vomiting and diarrhea, making it even more miserable.Later, he was shot and fell into the water...

In the past few days of being together day and night, in her opinion, Zhu Jianshen is just a big boy who is a little fussy, occasionally naive, often quiet, not annoying.Maybe even because of some blood relationship, she still has some pity for him.

It's like when people save poor little animals, they always pay attention to them occasionally to see if the little animals are thriving as they expect.

Fang Yuanzhi went to report to Zhu Jianshen with a heavy heart.

Zhu Jianshen didn't have so many ideas, but just hoped to arrange a meeting as soon as possible.

"Then after lunch, shall we visit Xu Lin?" Fang Yuanzhi asked tentatively.

"Yes." Zhu Jianshen nodded cautiously.

Fang Yuanzhi's heart was heavy.

After thinking about it again and again, she told Zhu Jianshen what she knew about the Xu family's situation.

"The great talent of this dynasty, the elder of Shangren Pavilion, the eldest son of his family married a girl from the Xu family.

Xu Youzhen, the martial arts uncle who supported the restoration of the late emperor, was a descendant of the Xu family.

Yu Qian Yu Shaobao whose head was beheaded by the late emperor, his younger sister married the Xu family..."

Zhu Jianshen didn't speak, but his eyes became darker.

"Also," Fang Yuanzhi originally wanted to talk about the Marquis of Huichang's Sun family and Li Xiange's hometown marrying the Xu family, but she didn't know the specific progress now, so she didn't dare to talk nonsense, so the topic changed: "Compared to Next, our Fang family and my maternal grandfather's Jiang family are just small shrimps. As for how to deal with it at that time, you have to know what to do."

Zhu Jianshen was silent, and asked: "Xu Pu from Zuochunfang, is..."

"He is Xu Lin's eldest son."

Zhu Jianshen looked at Fang Yuanzhi's serious face, with a little worry and a smile: "You are worried about me..."

After all, Fang Yuanzhi was not from the Xu family.Although she was close and trusting with Xu Chun, she had only met Xu Lin once, so she felt that Zhu Jianshen in front of her was more intimate.

"The Xu family has spent a lot of time and effort, and the plan must be quite big. I'm afraid that the wolf will be sent away and the tiger will be ushered in."

The corners of Zhu Jianshen's mouth curled up slightly: "There are already a bunch of tigers and wolves, and there is nothing to be afraid of if there is another one. Maybe you can get a punch and avoid a hundred punches."

"Then do you want to postpone seeing you for a few days?" Making preparations is more confident and targeted.

"No, let's meet and talk first, and then talk about the funeral."

In the afternoon, both Zhu Jianshen and Fang Yuanzhi changed into the blue shirts worn by ordinary scholars and went to Xu's parents' mansion.

Xu Lin still received them in a quaint courtyard.

The afternoon sun was shining brightly, and the creeping vines in the corner spit out many new leaves along the wall, moss was green in the cracks of the floor tiles, and the small teapot on the stone table was bubbling and bubbling on the charcoal stove.

Xu Lin was still sitting in the wheelchair, with a blanket covering her legs, smiling warmly.

"Yuanzhi pays homage to uncle and grandpa." Fang Yuanzhi saluted.

Zhu Jianshen saluted like Fang Yuanzhi, calling himself his junior Zhang Ze.

Xu Lin nodded with a smile and let the two sit down.

Seeing that the water had boiled, Fang Yuanzhi was about to make tea, but Xu Lin stopped her: "I'm a guest from afar, Xu lives as an elder, and treats each other with a cup of green tea."

Xu Lin carried the pot and made a cup of tea by herself.Xu Lin's movements were calm and calm, with a certain grace.

The tea soup has a strong orange-yellow color, a sharp and long-lasting aroma, a unique aroma, and a rich and mellow taste.

"Good tea." Zhu Jianshen took a sip and said.
