Planning to marry the third master

Returning to his residence, Feng Zhuohua looked for Lao Zhou. Lao Zhou was getting tougher as he aged. Feng Zhuohua couldn't help but said: "Lao Zhou, you just keep an eye on the kitchen affairs. You don't have to do the work yourself."

Lao Zhou said with a smile: "The older I get, the more I can't sit still. When I get free, I feel uncomfortable all over."

Feng Zhuohua couldn't help but ask: "How did you follow the third master?" He had never asked before, but now he couldn't help but wonder. The people who followed Xie Yunxiao were all rare and loyal people.

Lao Zhou said: "To be honest with Third Grandma, Third Master has money, ability, and seems to have everything, but what he lacks is money that can't buy it."

"How to say?"

"I have no children, so I just need to live a good life wherever I go. The third master often comes to eat at the restaurant where I work as a busboy, and I get rewarded for doing well. I am also the rare one who does well. Every time I get rewarded, the third master comes to me. I gave him an extra dish, and over time it became cooked. That day, the third master was worried about something and just drank. At that time, the third master was only fourteen years old, so I persuaded him a few words and told him to take care of himself. Take care of your body and take care of yourself. With these few words, Third Master took me away. At first, I couldn’t adapt to it. When I mentioned it by chance, he actually said that I looked like Third Master’s father. I was a rootless person. Ping, where can I be like the great master of Xie Mansion?"

After what Lao Zhou said, Feng Zhuohua really felt that Lao Zhou and Xie Jianglin were two different things. It’s no wonder that Lao Zhou takes great care of Xie Yunxiao. I wonder if Lao Zhou treats Xie Yunxiao as his son. He curled his lips and said, "Lao Zhou, sit down, there's something I need to tell you."

Lao Zhou sat opposite Feng Zhuohua and said, "Third Grandma, please speak."

Feng Zhuohua thought for a while and said: "You know that Third Master is always at war. In the past three years, he has had no time to manage his business. I don't know much about his property at the moment. When I checked the accounts yesterday, I found that he was resting on his laurels. Although I took some money with me when I left, now I can just subsidize it, but I don’t know how long it will last.”

Lao Zhouyi was stunned and said anxiously: "What! Why didn't you tell me earlier about this situation?" He picked out the good ones when he bought them, and they all came at the time of Feiyuyuan.

Feng Zhuohua comforted him and said, "It's okay. I'm just telling you to let you know that we have to make plans in the future. You don't have to make plans as a general. The whole family has to count on him."

Lao Zhou immediately said: "Yes, Third Grandma, I will make plans when I get back."

Feng Zhuohua curled his lips and said, "Don't be anxious. The Third Master will make his money back sooner or later."

"Yes, I understand."

"Yeah. I'm fine. Don't stay in the kitchen all the time on weekdays. Come out and walk around occasionally. Let Yu'er get to know you too."

Feng Zhuohua said to Feng Xinyu who was reading: "Yu'er, come here and call Grandpa Zhou."

Feng Xinyu put down the book in her hand, cupped her hands in front of Old Zhou and said, "Grandpa Zhou."

Lao Zhou's eyes suddenly turned red. How could he deserve to be called "grandpa" by his young master? He still responded: "Hey."

Feng Zhuohua curled her lips and said, "Come to my place often from now on."

"Yes Yes."

Feng Zhuohua said something more to ask Lao Zhou to take care of himself, and Lao Zhou returned.

As soon as Lao Yiyi left Feng Zhuohua, he began to think about something. Xie Yunxiao seemed to have nothing but money when she was a child. Unlike her, who had nothing but the love of her parents, they really complement each other and are a match made in heaven.

In the evening, Xie Yunxiao was not in the house, so he asked someone to pass the message and eat outside.

This time at Qipinlou, Xie Yunxiao called Baili Jilin, Gu Xingzhou, Hu Cong, and Gu Xingyan. Naturally, Lu Chengfeng was also there.

During the dinner, after getting to know each other, Xie Yunxiao talked about becoming an official. This matter was treated as gossip. Xie Yunxiao stood out in front of Gu Xingyan and asked Gu Xingzhou: "Do you have any intention to become an official?"

Gu Xingzhou shook his head decisively and said, "I'm not that material."

"Why are you not that material? The emperor would ask you to supervise the affairs of the Criminal Department?"

Gu Xingzhou rolled his eyes and said, "I only put it on if no one can use it."

"A knife becomes dull if it is not sharpened. You are like a dull knife. When you use it, you realize it is dull."

Everyone laughed, these words were very vivid.

Gu Xingzhou wanted to get angry, but forget it, he was indeed not a business person, and what others said was right.

Baili Jilin said: "The Ministry of Personnel selects officials, Prince Gu can try."

Gu Xingzhou still shook his head and said, "I'm not suitable for officialdom, so that's fine." Whether he becomes an official or not cannot be decided by himself or the officials.

Xie Yunxiao said to Baili Jilin: "My father-in-law has been waiting to become an official for a long time, and I don't know if he will be ranked."

Baili Jilin asked: "Is he your wife's father?"

Xie Yunxiao nodded and said: "I told him to wait a long time ago. In the past few years, there has been no news."

Baili Jilin said: "You ask him to hand over the merit list to the officials."

Xie Yunxiao nodded and said, "Okay."

Gu Xingzhou said: "Speaking of which, I don't know how the Ministry of Punishment is doing with the matter of buying an official position and conferring a title."

Baili Jilin said: "That's almost it. This time, it is rare that there is a big vacancy in the officialdom. If there is a recommendation, it is best to report it to the court as soon as possible."

Lu Chengfeng said: "It's difficult for someone like me who doesn't study to be an official."

Xie Yunxiao said: "You are good at managing accounts. Officials in the Ministry of Accounts are most in need of people like you. It's a pity that you have to take the merit test, otherwise why wouldn't you be an official?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "You do know how to praise me."

"Just tell the truth."

Hu Cong said profoundly: "You have a full face and a full storehouse, and you have two noble people in your life."

Lu Chengfeng said: "What you Hu Cong said is worth a meal, so I'll give you good advice. Come, have a drink."

Everyone drinks together.

Xie Yunxiao looked at the people at the table, then looked at Gu Xingyan...

Before finally leaving, Xie Yunxiao sent Baili Jilin back. They talked some words on the way, and asked about Xie Yunzhuo. Baili Jilin knew that this matter was done by the killed official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and it was indeed unfair, so he Even a transfer is more appropriate than resigning an official at random. After all, the scientific examination is not easy.

Finally, under the care of Baili Jilin, Xie Yunzhuo arranged to serve as an official in Jinling.
