Chapter 154: Lack of a Ruler
After Fu Zhen sent Liang Chen away, he also planned to return home.
As soon as the curtain was lifted, he saw the golden beads standing outside.
She exclaimed, "Why are you here?" ”
Jin Zhu smiled and said, "I happened to come over to get some materials on my wife's order, so I watched the door for the girl for a while." ”
Fu Zhen looked outside when he heard this, and found that the entire backyard was clean, and no one had bothered him from beginning to end.
Although she had already greeted the shopkeeper and said that they were optimistic, she had never been to the shop in the past, and many people didn't recognize her.
Fu Zhen couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
has to worry about her own affairs, but Mrs. Lao Jianing always has to worry about her.
She asked, "Where is Mother?" ”
"It's in the Wanbin Building."
The name of the new shop has been prepared, called Wanbin Building, and it is about to open, but Fu Zhen has not been serious until now.
Hearing this, Fu Zhen went to Wanbin Building.
The restaurant is almost ready, and the shopkeeper is directing the guys to adjust the details. Mrs. Ning was accompanied by shopkeeper Su and several other shopkeepers to patrol around.
"It's going to open on April 12, and the day before it opens, put more money to attract some popularity. By the way, are the invitations of those VIPs invited? ”
"Everything is ready."
Shopkeeper Su said, and took an invitation card and presented it.
As soon as Mrs. Ning received it, there was a second shopkeeper at the door who walked over quickly with a letter: "The big boss, here is a letter sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, please take a look at it." ”
Hearing the "Metropolitan Procuratorate", Mrs. Ning immediately saw it, and when she received it, she saw that it was indeed the document cover of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and hurriedly opened it!
The shopkeeper next to him couldn't help but raise his heart, what the common people are most afraid of is the government, and this time it is the Metropolitan Procuratorate, how can it not make people worry?
"It's a good thing!" After reading it, Mrs. Ning smiled, "It's a notice sent by Master Xie, Fu Yun has already left the capital with his family this morning to perform his duties." ”
"Great!"
When the shopkeepers heard this, they all cheered.
"What is so happy?"
Fu Zhen's voice suddenly sounded outside the crowd.
Mrs. Ning raised her head: "Zhen'er, come here!" There is good news! With that, she handed over the paperwork.
Fu Zhen took it and took a look, isn't it a happy event?
She smiled and said, "Except for the big trouble, this can't be celebrated?" ”
"That's right!"
Mrs. Ning immediately ordered: "Uncle Su, you let people go to the backyard to prepare a few tables, everyone has worked hard recently, the opening is imminent, let's heat up the stove first, and treat everyone." ”
Shopkeeper Su immediately went down to make arrangements.
Fu Zhen finished looking at the document and said, "Speaking of which." Master Xie has also taken care of us, and we haven't thanked us solemnly. ”
Mrs. Ning nodded when she heard this: "What you said is true." Reasoning, I should have personally come to the door to thank him, but I heard that this Lord Xie is widowed, and it is inconvenient for me to go. Zhen'er, it's still early, so you can go for me. ”
Fu Zhen received the order at the moment.
Xie Zhang has been an official in Beijing for many years, and his ancestors are already wealthy, so he has a mansion in Beijing, which is not far from Shuntian Mansion.
Fu Zhen came to the door with a gift, sent someone to knock on the door, said what he meant, and the porter politely led her to the front hall for tea, it turned out that Xie Zhang happened to be at home, and he had not returned from the yamen for a long time.
At this time, in the study of Xie Mansion, Xie Zhang was talking to his staff.
"Li Xing Hanlin was born, and his qualifications for being promoted to the post of Junior Zhan Shi of the Zhan Mansion are enough, since Lord Xu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, recommended him, I thought that the adults did not need to object.
"Now Xu Shilang's career is proud, and entering the cabinet is just around the corner. Why should the adults bother to be sharp against him? ”
Xie Zhangdao: "Your words are wrong. If I, Xie Zhang, am afraid of the powerful, wouldn't I have failed the emperor's grace to promote him? Since I am the imperial historian, how can I ignore the duty of the imperial historian?
"Back then, I put down my heavy words in front of my grandfather and went to Beijing to take up a job alone, if I couldn't uphold my original intention, wouldn't I also end up with the shame of the people?
"This Li Xing has been impeached for private misconduct more than once, how can such a person go to the East Palace to serve as an assistant?
The staff groaned and nodded, "Your Excellency has a point. The emperor's dragon body has been sick for many years, and it was not until the war in the northwest subsided last year that it improved a little.
"After this crown ceremony, I am afraid that the palace will also let the East Palace stand up to prepare for the future.
"On the side of the prince, there is indeed no room for sloppiness.
"I'm going to prepare the excerpt and send it to the palace on behalf of the lord."
At this point, someone outside the door said, "Master, there is a young lady surnamed Fu who asks to see you." ”
Xie Zhang was puzzled for a moment, and immediately guessed that it was Mrs. Ning's daughter, the little girl who teamed up with her mother to get rid of the scumbag on her own.
Walked out at the moment.
Fu Zhen sat in the hall and waited for the time, looking at the courtyard of the Xie family.
This house is well built, the courtyard is wide, and the materials are exquisite, but the cleaning is not very tidy.
The doors and windows are mostly mottled, and there are weeds and fallen leaves in the corners of the courtyard walls.
If it is said that its master is poor, Xie Zhang heard that he is the eldest branch of their big family, and his family background must be thick.
And their servants are not dressed in a simple way.
That is, Xie Zhangzhi is lacking in this aspect.
Just thinking that I heard that Xie Zhang's wife had passed away, and then there was no continuation, Xie Zhang himself was in an important position, and he was afraid that the housekeeping matter would be handed over to his subordinates.
Just as he was thinking to himself, Xie Zhang walked in: "Miss Fu has been waiting for a long time. ”
Fu Zhen hurriedly got up and saluted: "I've seen Master Xie!" ”
Xie Zhang smiled: "What are you looking for me?" ”
Fu Zhen sent the gift he brought: "I have been taken care of by the adults several times, and I have never thanked him, and the folk girl has come to visit. A little heart, please don't push back. ”
Xie Zhang glanced at the heavy package in front of him, smiled and sat down: "Miss Fu, do you know that this official is already the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" ”
"Yes!" Fu Zhen bowed again, "I forgot to congratulate my lord!" ”
Xie Zhangdao: "Since I know that I already have the responsibility of supervising the words and deeds of hundreds of officials, then these things, needless to say, Miss Fu will definitely bring them back." ”
Fu Zhen knew that he was upright, and he didn't expect him to be so direct, and then saw that although he was smiling, his face was resolute, and he must be a principled person, so he stopped talking nonsense, got up and said: "The adult's demeanor is admirable, it is Fu Zhen who is abrupt."
"The folk girl said goodbye."
Fu Zhen returned to Wanbin Building and told Mrs. Ning about the situation, and Mrs. Ning was a little unhappy: "It's not a valuable thing, it's just a few inkstones and stones, what can I do if I receive it?" ”
Fu Zhen glanced at her and didn't say anything.
For her Mrs. Ning, these are not worth much, and if you calculate them seriously, the two Duan inkstones are worth two or three hundred taels of silver, not to mention the three bloodstones, who doesn't want to fight for them outside?
After thinking about it for a while, she remembered: "Master Xie is busy with official business, and I see that his family is quite sloppy, and he seems to lack a person in the governance."
"Mother really wants to reciprocate, but it is better to see if she can help him solve this problem."
Mrs. Ning said, "How can I help with this?" ”
