Chapter 284
After the ceremonial room retreated, the prefect Zhou was not in the mood to deal with official duties. He had a pensive face and tapped his fingers on the table, not knowing what he was thinking.

Afterwards, Governor Zhou left the study and walked towards the main room.

"At this time, why are you not handling official business in the study room? Something happened." Mrs. Zhou was whispering to Zhou Yichen, teasing Zhou Yichen's face flushed. After seeing her husband coming, Mrs. Zhou hurried forward to help him asked as he sat down.

"Ma'am, do you still remember that Master Xie tested Xu Jiang's characters, indicating that he would be admitted as a scholar if he got married first and then established a career?"

"I'm not old-fashioned. Naturally, I remember this incident. Speaking of this incident, Qingliu sent me a letter to tell me that her daughter-in-law is pregnant?
I remember that

It's been a while since the government exam, and it's time to post the red list and announce the list, Xu Jiang must have passed the exam.

Master, you have a worried face. Could it be possible that you still don't believe in Master Xie? " Mrs. Zhou asked with a slight movement in her heart when she saw her husband's appearance.

"Before I made a bet with Master Xie, asking him to predict that it will rain, and he was right, so I believed it seven or eight points.

Now Xu Jiang asked Master Xie to test his characters and pointed out a clear path. Xu Jiang was also admitted to the scholar, and his daughter-in-law was also pregnant. All of them have come true, and now I can believe it [-]% of the time.

He is really good at calculation, you have to believe it if you don’t believe it. " Zhou Zhifu shook his head with a wry smile.

Before, he had been haggling with Master Xie, thinking that he was young, how could he know Yin-Yang and Five Elements, and so on, and even bet with him, thinking about himself is really ridiculous.

"Why is your husband so sad?" Mrs. Zhou asked.

"The frontier is not flat anymore, our Qianyunfu city is only separated by a south gate, once the south gate is breached, they will drive straight into our Qianyunfu city.

At that time, our Qianyunfu City is afraid that we will suffer, and many families will be destroyed and displaced.

I thought that since Master Xie can watch the stars at night, he can also do divination, and he can count the five elements of Yin and Yang, I would like to invite him to sit in Qianyunfu City, with him at least we can avoid bad luck and avoid bad luck, so we can make some preparations.

Also, Dr. Xie's excellent medical skills can also play a big role. I also want to invite their brothers and sisters together.

But because I didn't believe in Master Xie, I made a bet with him, fearing that Master Xie would not be invited to sit in Qianyunfu City. "Zhou Zhifu told his wife his plan.

"Father, how do you know you won't be able to invite him if you haven't tried? Besides, I think Master Xie is not a fussy person. Doctor Xie is also gentle and courteous. If you invite him in person, they must be able to see Dad's sincerity." Zhou Yichen said.

"Okay, I'll go to thank you personally when I'm done working these days." Prefect Zhou also nodded, making up his mind.

However, Zhou Zhifu didn't know it was so, so he didn't need to go to invite him. The Xie family siblings were already on their way to Fucheng.

.

They kept on going for seven consecutive days.

The Xie family siblings finally came to Fucheng.

Looking at the majestic and thick city wall, a steady stream of people entered the Fucheng, and they rushed into the Fucheng and lined up outside the Fucheng.

"Fanchen, Fanri, it's still early, you go to visit the prefect of Zhou and Mrs. Zhou first, or settle down with us first, and then go visit the prefect of Zhou?" Xie Fanxing queued up to enter When she was in Fucheng, she asked Fanchen and Fanri.

"Let's divide into two groups! Eldest sister, you go to the inn to settle down first, and second sister and I will go to Zhou Zhifu's mansion to visit Zhou Zhifu first." Xie Fanri didn't even think about it.

"But my sister and brother don't have dinner at the Yunxiang Building in Fucheng, so as not to meet Huang Zizai, let's meet in front of Zhou Zhifu." Xie Fanyang thought that Huang Zizai had also gone to Fucheng, and was afraid that they would meet at Yunxianglou in Fucheng. In the end, he simply refused to go to Yunxianglou for dinner, so as to avoid meeting Huang Zizai.

"Okay, that's it." Xie Fanxing smiled, then settled down.

After entering the city, the Xie Fanxing siblings left in two groups.

the other side.

"Master, someone outside asked me to pass this thing to the master, saying that the master should know what to do when he sees it." In Zhou Zhifu's study, at this time a servant held a purse embroidered with daisies and handed it to Zhou Zhifu. Road ahead.

"Oh! Who asked you to pass this thing on? Where is this person?" Zhou Zhifu took the purse, weighed it and touched it again. From the feel, it seemed like a token. He took out the contents and took a look. , his complexion changed slightly, and he asked the servant in a hasty voice.

"The little ones asked them to wait in the gatehouse."

"Go quickly, forget it, I'll invite them over personally."

When Zhou Zhifu arrived at the concierge, he saw two people, one big and one small, and three people waiting at the concierge. Zhou Zhifu saw the three of them, one of them seemed to be a guard, and the guard stood behind what seemed to be a pair of mother and daughter.

These three people are the three Wen Wen who escaped.

Zhou Zhifu's heart turned slightly, seeing that the woman was about to speak, he quickly waved his hand and said: "This is the place to talk, please come with me."

After Zhou Zhifu ordered the guards and the young girl to settle down, he took the woman into the study, and asked his servants to guard the door. After he closed the window, he looked directly at the woman and said, "My lady is Mrs. Zhong."

"Exactly, I've met Mr. Zhou." Mrs. Zhong nodded slightly towards the prefect of Zhou, as a salute.

And she is the wife of the first rank, and her rank is higher than that of Zhou Zhifu, so naturally she does not need to salute to Zhou Zhifu.

"Here you are full of travel and dust, could it be the frontier..." Zhou Zhifu didn't know what he thought of, and he asked Mrs. Zhong with a changed expression.

"There will be small fights in the frontier from time to time, although it is not peaceful, but Wen Liguo can't fight it.

This time I came here because I had something important to report back to Beijing, but the matter was so important that our traces were exposed again and we were intercepted and killed.

The three of us escaped when the guards who protected me tried to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

This time, I changed my way to Qianyunfu City because I wanted to ask Zhou Zhifu to send some troops to escort me to Beijing. "Madam Zhong didn't hide anything, and told Zhou Zhifu directly.

"Mrs. Zhong trusts me so much?" Zhou Zhifu heard Mrs. Zhong's words, his thoughts changed suddenly, and he guessed that the matter in Mrs. Zhong's mouth was very important and he would go to Beijing to report it. I am afraid it is not a trivial matter, and now someone is coming to intercept it As for her, it may be related to some ministers or important figures in the court.

Although Mrs. Zhong didn't tell herself the whole story, from the moment she came to his house, he was also implicated and forced to stand by Zhong's side.

"My husband said that Mr. Zhou is upright and clean, and he is a rare good official.

And he also told me that if something happens on the way, you can go to Qianyunfu City to ask Zhou Zhifu for help. " Mrs. Zhong said bluntly to Zhou Zhifu.
