Xie Wenzai, Cao Gengyun and Lu Bainian moved into the new house next door.

The brothers and sisters of Haitang Reef have to go to these three elders every day to ask for homework, which is a lot more troublesome than before. However, thanks to the elders moving, Begonia now goes out alone to walk around the neighborhood twice, and her grandmother Ma no longer says anything. After all, the granddaughter still has to study in class, so she has to find a husband, who lives next door, and it is not much different from living in the front yard before. In the past, granddaughters could go to the front yard for classes without being accompanied, and now it's the same. Do you need to call a girl to accompany you on these two steps?

Ma is now beginning to feel that the family is understaffed, and he will not have to arrange a follower with his granddaughter.

In fact, there are a lot of subordinates of the Hai family, but although the Ma family has already asked people to help find servants suitable for Xie Wenzai and others, they do not plan to completely let them use strange newcomers, but plan to send two people from their own family to call them first, and by the way, they will teach the newcomers, and when the new male and female servants and women have started their work, it is not too late to withdraw their own servants depending on the situation.

At present, she has transferred Cui Dazhuang and his family to the next door, and Cui Xiaodao has temporarily stayed in the Jin Jiashu House to serve. Da Zhuang's daughter-in-law is not there, and there is a shortage of manpower in the kitchen, so Aunt Ma has to help make up for it; In addition to the work of the porter, Uncle Ma also took over Cui Dazhuang's work of going out to buy; Ma Changnian is responsible for all the work in the carriage shed alone, and from time to time he has to drive his master to travel.

But Aunt Ma went to the kitchen, and there were fewer people in the main courtyard. The second daughter-in-law, Hu Shi, has to take care of the children, and she always needs a helper by her side. Begonias rarely have grapes when they can get them, so in addition to being responsible for cleaning Begonia's house, Grape basically goes to help Hu Shi at other times. Sometimes when he is busy, even Ma Changnian's daughter-in-law, who has always been only responsible for needlework, has to help with chores.

Ma really felt that there were not enough people in the family this time, so he asked Uncle Ma and Aunt Ma to call a few more children in the family. But their second son, Suozhu, is older, fifteen or sixteen years old can be called directly, just in time to go out with Hai Chang'an; The second daughter Pomegranate is still a little girl, even if she enters the Hai family, she is just helping to do some effortless chores.

This is not a long-term solution. It is also impossible for Ma to transfer his son Cui Dazhuang and his wife to Xie Wenzai. Besides, Xie Wenzai is not the only one who lives next door. She can arrange servants for her husband's cousin, but Cao and Lu are not relatives of the Hai family, they also have their own families, but because they have been exiled for many years, they have been separated from their families for a long time, and they are estranged, and they are used to living with the Hai family and Xie Wenzai. Now that they have recovered their identity, it is difficult for outsiders to overstep their responsibilities.

Ma simply asked Xie Wenzai, Cao Gengyun and Lu Bainian, what kind of servants they wanted, and then according to their meaning, they selected from the people sent by the people, and finally picked out a young and strong couple, the man is called Wang Defa, who can be a long-term follower, can drive cars, and has a few tricks of fists and feet, and can also serve as a nurse; His wife, on the other hand, has many years of experience in the stove and helps with the daily meals and tidying up the house. As for the washing chores, just hire two mothers-in-law from nearby to do it.

Wang Defa and his wife are living deeds, and they signed employment documents with Cao and Lu for five years. Cao and Lu have almost cut off contact with their families since their exile in the northwest, and have decided to continue to be together in the future. After going back and forth to Zhili in the future, another person will be purchased. Now Wang Defa and his wife temporarily use Cui Dazhuang and his wife to take the school as an errand, and when they get started, Cui Dazhuang and his wife can go back to Hai's house.

As for Xie Wenzai, Ma personally picked a small house, and Haixi Cliff bought it with funds and gave it to his cousin. Xie Wenzai felt that he needed people to do chores every day, so he said hello to the two old friends, paid an extra amount of money and food, and let Wang Defa and his wife do it by the way. However, his study needs a small servant to help take care of it, and he occasionally needs to send people out to run errands and pass the word on weekdays. Other than that, he didn't need any other manpower. However, after his cousin Haixi Ya persuaded him, he still decided to try to send a letter to Zhili and contact his old servant.

When he was exiled to the northwest, he had just been married and had no children. The ex-wife quickly reconciled with him and returned with the companion room and dowry. His parents died early, and the clansmen were already estranged from him, and even the cost of his study for the imperial examination was funded by his cousin who married into the Hai family, and now naturally no relatives and friends will worry about him.

It's just that there is a long-term companion Xie Zhong who grew up with him since he was a child, and he originally wanted to accompany him all the way to the northwest, but he couldn't bear to see the loyal servant leave his sick old lady and suffer with himself, so he entrusted the person to his cousin. Haixiya arranged for Xie Zhong to stay in Yongping's hometown, help take care of his deceased mother's grave, and take care of Xie Wenzai's field in his hometown by the way.

Unexpectedly, the separation between the two sides has been more than 30 years, and there was correspondence every year at the beginning, but since the Dahai family left Chang'an to go to Gansu and Su Prefecture, the road is far away, and there is no news, and I don't know if Xie Zhong is still alive now, and most of his wife has died.

Xie Wenzai originally thought that Xie Zhong had his own share of the production of his ancestral land, and even if his life was harder, he could support his family, and there was really no need to leave his hometown to come to the northwest to endure hardships. But now that he has resumed his status as a scholar and lives a stable life in Chang'an, what if Xie Zhong is willing to come to him, he will be reunited with the old servant? Now, apart from his cousin's family, he has no relatives in the world. The old servants who grew up together since childhood naturally have a deeper affection than ordinary relatives.

Xie Wenzai wrote a handwritten letter and entrusted it to a familiar caravan, asking people to take it to the hometown of the Hai family in Yongping Mansion, but he didn't have a bottom in his heart. He and Xie Zhong have been separated for more than thirty years, and they don't know if the other party is still in place.

The caravan left Chang'an City with Xie Wenzai's letter, along with a large number of goods that had just been purchased.

A team of military cavalry passed by them, and dozens of elite soldiers followed the main general and rode into Chang'an City.

Tu Rong, the commander of the Shaanxi Metropolitan Division, returned from Liangzhou City.

As soon as Tu Rong returned to Chang'an, he quickly went to the Dusi Yamen to hand over his errand, and then went to visit the Duke of Zhenguo.

He investigated in Liangzhou for several days, and because the Duke of Zhenguo had greeted him in advance, the people of Liangzhou Wei did not guard against him because he was a confidant sent by the emperor, and they were very cooperative with all his requests. And with the help of Liangzhou Wei, the local residents and businessmen are also willing to tell him frankly. He quickly collected a lot of useful information, got the news he wanted to know, and after returning to Chang'an, he happened to discuss with the Zhenguo Gong.

The next day, Haijiao learned from his cousin Xie Wenzai what Tu Rong had investigated in Liangzhou.

The Sun family did send people to Liangzhou, and judging from the eyewitness testimonies of those who saw them, it is very likely that the leader was one of Sun Yongbai's henchmen. Before the fire in Wang's grain store, their group had been to Wang's grain store several times. Because they arrived in the local area under the banner of buying wine, they didn't care about the news of the winery and wine merchants, and only cared about inquiring about the Wang's grain store, and the people they met felt strange in their hearts, so after many years, some people still remember it very clearly.

Liangzhou is also a border city, and it is used to beware of Hu people and bandits all the year round, and it has always been very vigilant against such unidentified outsiders. Sun Yongbai's henchmen are afraid that they have little experience in border city activities, so they will easily leave flaws. That is to say, his party did come from the capital, there was no problem with the identity documents and road guides, and there was a local caravan as a guarantee, and there was no suspicious move to inquire about the military situation, so he was not targeted by the Liangzhou guard.

However, Skynet was restored, and after many years, they were still targeted.
