Family girl rebirth handbook

Chapter 83
Old Madam Xie was stunned for a while, then smiled and said: "Since Mr. Zhou is here, hurry up and invite him in."

"Yes, I'm going to invite Lord Zhou to come in." Seeing that the old lady didn't say anything, the woman bowed to the old lady Xie, turned around and left.

The old lady still had a slight smile on her face, she looked like a loving old lady, but she was very puzzled in her heart. My lord Zhou never flattered the officials and aristocratic families, why did he come here uninvited this time?Because Zhou Tingshen is now the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, and he is upright, impartial and strict, his sudden visit will inevitably make the old lady feel guilty.

Xie Xuhua, who was sitting at the bottom, took a look at the old lady, then got up and said, "Grandmother, it was the grandson who invited Mr. Zhou over. A few days ago, there were more than a dozen murders in the Zhang family in the city, and the grandson and the third sister almost committed adultery." He was murdered and imprisoned, thanks to Mr. Zhou who was aware of the details and gave us justice, so that the grandson escaped." Then he turned to look at Uncle Xie, and said with a smile, "Brother was also there at the beginning. It’s still time to invite Mr. Zhou to sit at the house, big brother, isn’t it?”

Xie Ronghua heard the words and got up and said: "As the second brother said. Grandma, Mr. Zhou was young and promising, and he was an upright official. When he was a county magistrate in Guyang County, Yangzhou, he won a lot of praise from the people. After only three years, he He changed from a seventh-rank local official to a third-rank Beijing official. It seems that he is very trusted by the sage. But..." He paused slightly, changed the subject, and asked Xie Xuhua, "It's just that my lord has been busy with business this week. How did the second younger brother manage to invite me even though I wanted to invite you through the post several times and didn’t dare to interrupt rashly?”

Xie Xuhua didn't speak, but sat down cross-legged and ate food in silence.

The Fenghua hall fell silent for a while, Xie Ronghua saw that his second brother didn't answer his words, raised his brows, so he didn't ask any more questions, just sat down.

On the other hand, He Shi, who was called by the old lady to sit on the side, raised his eyebrows, and quietly asked Hong Shao, who was on the side, "What's going on? Could it be that Mr. Zhou came to investigate the case? You secretly Go check it out, and if there's anything wrong, come back and tell me."

Hong Shao was just about to get up and go to work, but Xie Fanhua over there said with a smile: "Grandmother may not know something. When my granddaughter was in Guyang County, she had a few encounters with Mr. Zhou. My uncle once gave Gu Yang The county government has donated a lot of silver, and it is because of my uncle's money that the people of Guyang County have the money to repair the embankment, and the flood only escaped the catastrophe last year. When the second brother posted the post, his granddaughter happened to have something to do Looking for the second brother, the second brother is afraid that Mr. Zhou is afraid of dealing with the family and will not come, so the granddaughter added her name at the end of the post on her own initiative." She glanced at He Shi, and saw that He Shi seemed almost toppled over. Going down, Xie Fanhua saw that his goal had been achieved, so he changed the subject and flattered him again, "Of course, today is my grandmother's birthday, and it's not the celebration banquet at the beginning. To tell the truth, Master Zhou received the post, and really wanted to come to celebrate your birthday to grandma."

The old lady Xie looked at Xie Fanhua, and smiled with satisfaction: "Young girl Fan's mouth is sweet, if you are a boy, you can take the imperial examination."

Can you pass the imperial examination with your lip service?It's just a scene talk from the old lady, but after listening to the guilty person, his heart is even more disturbed.
