Seeing that she was serious, Xie Yanzhi sighed.
After a while, I heard him say: "I don't know what the situation is over there. Yuan Niang, when you get over there, don't let yourself feel wronged. If someone is looking for trouble, just fight back. I will help you with everything." Carry it around."
Li Yuan went with her this time without taking the children with her, so naturally she would not let herself be wronged.
Hearing this, she nodded and replied: "Yes, I know! The more you tolerate some people, the more they push forward. Sometimes coming to look for trouble is just a kind of temptation. So, brother Xie, don't worry about me, I know what to do. ."
Xie Yanzhi was still a little worried, so he thought about it and started to discuss it.
"Yuan Niang, how about Brother Ji Ming or Brother Zi Ran and I get you a maid who knows boxing and kicking skills?"
In this case, if he really gets busy when he gets to Dongfeng Mansion, he won't have to worry about his family!
Li Yuan thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay! I will go to Zhenguo Hou's Mansion tomorrow and ask Mrs. Hou if she is willing to part with her. If she is willing, I would like to let them buy Zhou Zi and Zhou Chou's ones. This will help They are following you, Brother Xie, and I am not worried about your safety."
Maybe she had combed her hair smoothly with five fingers. Xie Yanzhi awkwardly braided her hair and replied: "No, the court can't let me take office alone!"
"If nothing else, we can completely trust Zhou Zi and others! Whether we can trust what the court gives us is a question. Even if we can, if we have more guards, our safety will be more guaranteed!"
Xie Yanzhi didn't want to argue with her on this matter, so he just let her go.
"Okay, you look at the arrangements. I'll go out tomorrow. If nothing happens, we will leave for Lanxia City in a few days. We will stay there for a few days, and then go to Dongfeng Mansion from there."
After saying that, Xie Yanzhi said again: "I don't have time to discuss with Wei Xiting and the others right now. You tell them that it's okay to go to Dongfeng Mansion, but it has to wait half a year after I take office. Otherwise, we won't even know the situation there. , they were useless in the past!”
"good!"
The couple discussed it very late that day, and because the weather was hot, they ended up sleeping in the space.
Early the next morning, after Li Yuan woke up, Xie Yanzhi ate breakfast in a hurry and went out.
And Li Yuan, after asking about the situation at Zhuangzi, went to Zhenguo Hou Mansion again.
She first went to meet Zhou Zi and others. After confirming that these people were willing to follow them to Dongfeng Mansion to take office if they could leave the Zhenguo Hou Mansion, she went to see Mrs. Hou.
"Mrs. Hou, long time no see. How are you lately?"
Mrs. Hou had not seen Li Yuan for a while, and was very happy to see her coming.
"Thanks to you, I'm fine. Yuan Niang, you finally got through it now!"
Li Yuan knew what she meant by this, it was just that she had become an official's wife.
"Thank you, Madam Hou, for remembering me! I'm here today to ask you for something!"
Mrs. Zhenguo Hou is not that kind of stupid person. She clearly saw the fact that Xie Yan failed to enter the Imperial Academy after becoming the top scholar, but was instead appointed as a Tongzhi and sent to Dongfeng Mansion.
Knowing that Xie Yanzhi had great achievements and that the Li family had saved her life, she became more interested in bringing the two families closer.
Her son Zhou Bai also won the imperial examination this time and ranked in the top twenty.
Originally, they had intended to follow him to Dongfeng Mansion, but later they thought about it, their two families were considered relatives, and the court would want to avoid suspicion.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to get admitted to the Imperial Academy first.
Now, she and her mother-in-law are at loggerheads, and the Marquis is unreliable. What she can do is to find someone who has a bright future for her child and who won't be involved in any side at the moment to help her.
And Xie Yanzhi is the best candidate at the moment!
Mrs. Zhen Guohou, who had a plan in mind, immediately took Li Yuan's hand and said with a smile: "Silly boy, you are Sister Han's niece, and that is mine. My family does not speak the dialect of the two families, but you have Whatever it is, just tell Auntie."
When Li Yuan came, she was mentally prepared and responded enthusiastically to her sudden intimacy.
"Well, my aunt always said that Madam, you are a kind person and treat her like a sister. Now if you ask me to call you aunt, then I will call you aunt shamelessly. Aunt Fang, that's it. My husband and I are not going to Dongfeng Mansion Have you taken office? We don’t know what’s going on there. I thought that some of the guards in your mansion are good, so I wanted to ask if you are willing to part with them?”
Mrs. Zhenguo Hou thought it was nothing. When she heard that she just wanted a few guards, she immediately agreed.
"They are just a few house guards. If you want Yuan Niang, just take them away."
After saying that, she asked Li Yuan how many people he wanted and who they were, and then sent people back to the room to get the deed of sale.
Most of the servants in Zhenguo Hou Mansion have children for their families, so Mrs. Hou is really eager for Li Yuan to come and ask for them.
The family members of these guards are all in the Hou Mansion, so the bond between the two families can be deeper.
Li Yuan did not take the deed of selling herself off for nothing, and immediately gave the money to Mrs. Hou according to the market price.
Mrs. Hou was not short of money, so how could she be willing to ask for it? Just as the two of them were pushing the money back and forth, Zhou Bai came back.
When he saw Li Yuan, he directly called Zhou Caijing and said, "Cousin, my cousin's husband is not here?"
Li Yuan was called cousin by the eldest son of the Hou family, and she still couldn't react.
When he saw that the other party was talking to him, he said: "He's not here. He has something to do today and left early in the morning. Are you looking for him?"
Zhou Bai followed his mother and had a clear mind. He really wanted Xie Yanzhi's help.
Especially the situation in the previous trial in the DPRK, he saw clearly.
He knew that if his family had not been involved in the relationship between Aunt Han and Li Yuan, with his father's thinking, perhaps the title of the Marquis Mansion would have been thrown away during that time.
"Yes, cousin, when you go back, please tell your cousin's husband. I will visit you the day after tomorrow."
"Aren't you going to take the exam?"
"Yes! But it's still okay to take some time to meet my brother-in-law."
After saying this, he glanced at the banknotes on the table, and then asked his mother what was going on.
After knowing that it was Li Yuan who bought the money for Zhou Zi and others, she put the banknote into his mother's hand.
"Mother, accept it, you deserve it. If you feel bad about it, let's prepare more things when my cousin and the others leave."
When Mrs. Zhenguo Hou heard this, she immediately understood what her son meant, and nodded with a smile: "Well, let Girl Jing be more prepared when the time comes."
Li Yuan couldn't care about what happened next today. After Mrs. Zhen Guohou collected the money, she took the deed of sale and led Zhou Zi, Zhou Chou and the other five people back.
But before returning to Xie's house, she first checked the progress of the workshop, and then went to check out the shop she bought for Caiwei in the south of the city.
The shop was being renovated, and Su Lan, who was beside Su Mingshan, was watching in person.
She took a look at the progress, said a few words to Sulan, and then returned to Jiangmi Lane when it was getting late.
In the next few days, Li Yuan and Xie Yanzhi were busy with their own affairs. In addition to preparing carriage luggage, Li Yuan also had to go to Zhuangzi to check.
Time has been busy, passing quickly, and it has entered May in a blink of an eye.
That evening, when Xie Yanzhi came back from outside, he said to Li Yuan: "Mother Yuan, the governor of Dongfeng Mansion has been decided, and you know him!"
