Xie Rongzhao put away the account book and asked carefully, "Do you know the specific place?" ”

"Miss Hui, I heard that the concubine's surname is Xu, and she is originally from Qingxian County, Xiangzhou Prefecture, but her brother works in Daxing County, oh, Xu County's order is a Jinshi who is one department later than our master."

The Jinshi of the late subject, that division should be the old Qin Ge.

Xie Rongzhao admits that she doesn't have the same smart mind as her father and brother Jingzhou, but she is lucky, and she also knows that all the news about Xiangzhou Mansion should be sent to her father in time.

"What else did you find?"

"This Lord Song is the Huangmen Squire of the Sect Province, and he can be said to be the former boss of our master."

Xie Rongzhao frowned, he had followed his father in Beijing for a few years, not to mention the others, he knew clearly about the official rank and responsibility.

The Huangmen squire is the fourth grade, the deputy governor of the province, in charge of the attendants, playing sparsely, refuting right and wrong, and adjudicating provincial affairs. Participate in the day-to-day administration of the province and the refutation of edicts and chapters.

This right is not insignificant.

The Yellow Gate Squire had the nature of an attendant who accompanied the Emperor and participated in rituals, ceremonies, and other activities, and when there was a vacancy in the Governor's Chamberlain of the Monxia Province, the Yellow Gate Squire could take the place of presiding over the work of the Monxia Province, including handling matters such as diplomacy and the recruitment of edicts.

Xie Rongzhao vaguely remembered that his father had said that it was about the approval of the report somewhere, as if he was pressed down by Shangguan, could it be this Lord Song?

If this is the case, then the father has an old grudge against him.

In the evening, Wang Zizhen came in with a cup of pigeon soup and whispered: "Miss, Song Erlang asked someone to bring a message, saying that he wanted to see you, there are some things he can't do, and he has to ask you to show me." ”

"Well, tomorrow then."

Wang Zizhen saw that the young lady began to drink the soup, so he began to sort out the things on the table one by one.

"Miss, Miss Chunhua from Xie Mansion on Anhe Street sent someone to send you an invitation post again, I pushed it last time, but I have to push it again this time?"

Xie Rongzhao shook his head, "Xie Chunhua's character is okay, our two families live nearby, and they have the same surname, if I am too alienated from him, it will be easy for people to take advantage of it." ”

"Then the young lady is going?"

"Well, it's not good to keep showing up, my father has been away from Beijing for more than ten days, and my mother and I have never gone out, this time I went to Xie Mansion, with Sister Sakura, there should be nothing wrong."

After breakfast the next day, Xie Rongzhao went to the front yard to see Song Erlang.

"Miss, the little one has been in charge of some external affairs of Fuyuan Villa, the day before yesterday we found two fainting girls in the village, so they took them in for the time being, they only said that their families were poor, and they wanted to sell them to the Qinglou, and the two sisters escaped. Originally, the people in the village also took pity on them, so they thought about asking the village chief to take them in, but when they sent mountain treasures to a large family in Beijing yesterday, they heard that the Song family had two fugitive slaves and were looking for them. ”

Xie Rongzhao's face was slightly solemn, so coincidental?

"Do you know what those two fugitives look like?"

Song Erlang shook his head: "I only know that those two fugitive slaves are women, thirteen or fourteen years old." The two girls in our village are about the same. The little heart knew that something was wrong, and he didn't dare to make his own claims, so he came to ask Miss. ”

Xie Rongzhao took a deep breath, and two young girls suddenly appeared in the countryside, which was not normal.

"You are like this, when you go back, go to the county government first, my eldest brother is now with Chen Xianling, you will tell the matter 1510 and tell the situation, after returning to the village, you must settle the two girls properly, don't take them to the villa, there are widows in the village?"

Song Erlang thought for a while: "Yes, Aunt Wang has been widowed for more than ten years, and his son works as a tent in the county, and she and her two daughters usually live together. ”

"Then put these two girls in her house, and besides, this matter is not appropriate to be quiet, after you go back, inform the village chief of this matter alone, and let him make arrangements as soon as possible, if someone really comes to harm you, you can't arrest the people of the entire village."

"Yes, the little one understands."

Xie Rongzhao did not reveal this matter.

In fact, those two girls were indeed fugitive slaves from the Song Mansion.

Later, when the official sent someone to the door, it really alarmed the whole village.

The original purpose of the two girls was to go to Fuyuan Villa, so that they could complete the task assigned by the master, but they were forcibly grabbed by the people of Fuyuan Villa, so that the master could operate better.

But who would have thought that the two of them didn't say that they didn't have the opportunity to go to the villa, even in the village, they had always been avoided by the men.

So after the official came to the door, the two of them didn't dare to say anything, and obediently followed back.

Things didn't go as Zhao expected, Lord Song was naturally very angry, and he could be angry again, and it was not good to fabricate evidence out of thin air for this kind of thing.

After Xie Rongzhao heard Song Erlang explain the ins and outs of the matter, he felt uneasy.

"This kind of thing, there are one and two, you should also inform the village chief when you go back, so that everyone can be more careful. In addition, after you go back to the villa, you will make it clear to Zhu Weng and Zhu Xiaoyun that you must step up patrols inside and outside the villa, don't let suspicious people in, and the safety of several sons is the most important thing. ”

"Yes, miss."

"You and my fourth brother and Brother Lang will report this matter, and let them be on guard."

"Cheng, does Miss have any other orders?"

"How is the matter of Fengxian Xiuzhuang?"

"Miss, don't worry, the place has been chosen, the village chief has agreed, and the ladies of our own village work there a lot, so the big guys are very grateful to you and your wife."

"After the embroidery village is built, I want to go and see it in person, is the silver enough?"

"There are still more than forty taels left, plus some furniture in the later stage, it should be possible."

"I can rest assured that you are doing things, I still have two cotton cloths there, you bring one to the village chief's family, and the rest will go back to a few sisters-in-law."

"Miss Xie."

Xie Rongzhao was busy here again, and in a blink of an eye, the day of Xie Chunhua's banquet had arrived.

Zhao Ying rarely attends such banquets, but now although Xie Mingyi still holds an official position from the third grade, his influence is not as good as before.

And Xie Meiren is average in the palace, which shows that the saint is not visible.

"We also sweated for Sister Chunhua before, thinking about how difficult it is for her to be sent to the palace to beg for a life at the age of thirteen. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, this matter was rejected by Mrs. Xie. Speaking of which, I haven't seen Sister Chunhua for a few days, and I heard that she got a very beautiful peony, so I have to open my eyes. ”

Xie Rongzhao said with a smile: "It is said that the peony was transported from Luoyang, and it was served quite delicately along the way, and I don't know if it can be raised in the capital." (End of chapter)
