"Isn't there a young lady in his family? I also heard from shopkeeper Su that last time he personally hired a female tutor for their young lady. I guess the female tutor was not very good, otherwise his only daughter would not be able to do this. housekeeper."

In any case, a lady from a wealthy family who can take care of the inner house will not tolerate fallen leaves and weeds that cannot be swept away in the front yard.

Mrs. Ning realized: "You want me to teach Miss Xie how to run a family?"

"My mother is good at managing the household and finances. I think Mr. Xie might need this."

Although her husband, mother-in-law and concubine were riding on her head before and ran wild, there was a reason for it, and later facts proved that Mrs. Ning was not determined to take care of it, not that she was incapable of taking care of it.

"This is too abrupt. In a house of officials, what kind of capable people are needed? And do you need me, a businesswoman, to recommend myself?"

Mrs. Ning doesn’t think this is a good idea.

Fu Zhen just said it casually. If she didn't agree, that was it.

At this moment, Cheng Chili jumped in: "Old...Miss Fu! I have reserved a room in the West Lake Tower, let's go have dinner!"

After speaking, he winked.

In the past, when they were hanging out with friends, they were almost always at the West Lake Tower. Fu Zhen knew at a glance that this boy wanted to remember the past.

But Mrs. Ning said earlier that several tables had been opened in the shop. How could Fu Zhen leave easily?

But Mrs. Ning said: "It's rare for the young general to show such kindness, so just go ahead. I'm here. Just remember to come back early." After that, she took out a few more banknotes, stuffed them into her small purse and handed them to her.

Fu Zhen was filled with gratitude and nodded heavily. Then he asked Cheng Zhili: "Who else?"

"Only the second brother! Brother Liang and the fifth brother are busy and can't come!"

Fu Zhen guessed that was the case.

Liang Chen went to the Imperial Academy and Pei Zhan went to the Hanlin Academy, but they would not come back so soon.

She said, "You go first, and I'll go later. Don't rush to attract attention."

After Cheng rode his horse politely into the crowd of people, Fu Zhen walked out and looked around as usual.

The sun was setting, and crowds of people were surging on the streets. This place was a crossroads, and there were many people all day long. Cheng Zhili's coming and going just now did not attract anyone's attention.

However, with the previous moves and the fact that Cheng Zhili has openly become her instructor, it is not a big problem to interact with the Cheng family now.

Fu Zhen walked towards the carriage under the tree, but was blocked by a passing sesame candy vendor. When he stepped aside to avoid it, he might have stepped on the foot of the person next to him.

She apologized: "I'm sorry."

The other party had a good temper: "It doesn't matter." Then he said: "Miss, be careful."

In front of him was a man who looked like a scribe in his twenties.

He was picking up Fu Zhen's purse that had fallen to the ground and handed it over with a smile.

Fu Zhen took the purse, looked at the folding fan half exposed in his arms calmly, then bowed his head and said, "Thank you, sir."

The other party nodded: "You're very polite, young lady."

Fu Zhen said nothing, turned around, got on the carriage, and drove onto the street without stopping.

Lian Ran watched the carriage disappear in the busy street, then took the horse's rein from the guard who had already walked behind him and said: "Go back home."

When he walked straight towards Xu Mansion, Fu Zhen, who had turned into an alley halfway, waved his hand: "Follow me!"

Wanbin Tower is only half a city away from the Xu Mansion. He quickly entered the corner gate, and then stopped at the entrance of the alley not far from the Xu Family Mansion.

She looked at the big word "Xu Mansion" on the lintel and couldn't help but sneer: "Sure enough!"

The frame of that man's folding fan has Xu Yin's inscription on it! How could Fu Zhen not recognize that guy's handwriting?

Although Xu Yin is now prosperous in his official career, he has not yet reached the point where people everywhere are proud to hold his handwriting.

Then the person before was probably from the Xu family.

She patted the car wall: "Who was that just now?"

He was actually collaborating with Thief Xu. She wanted to see what he was like? !

Zhang Cheng didn't know him either. He recognized almost all the military officers, but he was really unfamiliar with the civilian officials. He said: "Young man, go and ask!"

While waiting, Fu Zhen looked at the mansion in front of him.

Compared with Prince Rong's Mansion not far away, this house is not grand, but the words "Xu Mansion" on the lintel, as well as the left and right couplets, are written with majestic force.

This is Xu Yin's own handwriting.

He is a man who is full of power, but he did not ask several great scholars of the day to write inscriptions for him, but did it himself, which is in line with the mask of aloofness he has set for himself!

Fu Zhen had imagined many times in his mind how she would approach this place. Was she going to hold a long sword, cut a bloody path, and rush in to cut his neck?

Or should we just retaliate with tooth and set fire to the beast like him?

Unexpectedly, the first time was by such a coincidence.

"master!"

Zhang Cheng rushed back: "After asking around, the person just now should be Xu Shilang's entourage, his surname is Lian, and he is called Lian Ruan. I don't know what the specific errand is."

Of course Fu Zhen would not believe that he was just a follower. Just a follower will not have the temperament of rich experience.

The man named Lian was somewhat calm and calm when he faced her just now, and his eyes were deep. He was a man of wealth.

"What's his origin?"

"I heard that he is from Tanzhou. He has been with Xu Shilang for at least five or six years, and he is his hometown."

Speaking of Tanzhou, Fu Zhen remembered that Xu Yin was from Tanzhou. He told Liang Ning that his family had already died in the war.

He also said that he would take her back to Tanzhou to worship her ancestors in the future.

——To sacrifice the size of his grandma!
  Fu Zhen couldn't help but curse in his heart.

When she goes back to dig up the graves of his eighteenth generation ancestors, it will be almost the same!
  ... But then again, the accent of the man named Lian just now is indeed similar to the accent of Liang Ning when he first met Xu Yin.

There were also soldiers from Tanzhou in the military camp at that time, and they used dialect to communicate.

In this way, the person named Lian and Xu Yin did come from the same place.

But, six years!
  Doesn't that coincide with the time of Liang Ning's death?

When Liang Ning was still here, she arranged for everyone around Xu Yin. Of course, there was only a boy, a woman who did rough work, and two maids who were washing.

These people must have been dismissed by Xu Yin later.

Lian Ronn, who seemed to have read a book and had the same accent as Xu Yin, had been with Xu Yin since Liang Ning's death.

But six years ago, Xu Yincai was just an editor at the Hanlin Academy. As a young official, no matter how talented he was, how could he recruit such "entourage"?
  They are still from the same hometown, so that's even more inappropriate.

Xu Yin is a fellow countryman and has no family to rely on, so he should push his educated fellow countrymen to the court to serve as a force for mutual support in the future.

She glanced at the Xu family's door and said: "When it gets dark, go and guard the door where their servants come in and out, and catch one of their servants to come and question them!"
