A Blessed Daughter

Chapter 383: Please go back to Zhuangzi, your lady

When Wei Ruo and Xiumei arrived, a lot of people gathered outside the gate of Sibaozhai. The lively scene was comparable to when Sibaozhai was holding activities.

But when you get closer, you will find that these people are not guests of Sibaozhai, but people sent by the imperial court.

Wei Ruo and Xiumei immediately understood that this should be someone from the imperial court who came to give Xu Zhengyong a formal appointment.

Because Xu Zhengyong is promoted again, his status will be different, and he will have a special residence like Wei Mingting.

Wei Ruo and Xiumei hid in the crowd and waited until all the people from the court had left before entering the Sibaozhai.

Just as he was about to pass through the shop and enter the back hall, he was blocked by two men dressed as soldiers.

”This is Master Xuʼs residence, and no one else is allowed to enter. You can buy things in this shop.”

Wei Ruo paused, and was about to explain, when Xu Zhushan came out and explained: ”This is my relative.”

The soldiers blocking the way quickly apologized and stepped aside to make way for Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo and Xiumei were able to follow Xu Zhushan into the backyard.

After entering the door, Wei Ruo and Xiumei were not only not angry, but happy.

Xu Zhengyong came out of the house when he heard the movement, and when he saw Wei Ruo, his expression was solemn.

”Sister Ruoer, about the second brother Wei...” Xu Zhengyong was full of worry.

”Brother Xiaoyong, Iʼm fine.”

”Why is it all right? Donʼt lie to me.” Xu Zhengyong didnʼt believe what Wei Ruo said was all right.

Wei Ruo stepped forward, looked around, and made sure that there were no other people around, and they were the only ones, so he explained to Xu Zhengyong in a low voice: ”There is a mistake, he is fine, and the specific reason is temporarily inconvenient to elaborate.”

Xu Zhengyong was stunned for a moment and then confirmed again: ”Really?”

”Really, so you donʼt have to worry about me.” Wei Ruo explained.

”Thatʼs good, thatʼs good.” Xu Zhengyong heaved a sigh of relief, and his whole body was obviously relieved.

Because of Wei Jinyiʼs death, Xu Zhengyong was so worried about Wei Ruoʼs situation that he wasnʼt particularly happy when he received the offer of promotion. There was a string in his heart that was always tense.

Knowing that Wei Jin was not really dead, and his sister Ruoer was not sad, Xu Zhengyong didnʼt ask about the details.

Xiumei couldnʼt help teasing Xu Zhengyong: ”Brother Xiaoyong is really promising, now he has personal guards!”

Having personal guards fully shows that Xu Zhengyongʼs current official position is not low.

Xu Zhengyong scratched his head embarrassingly: ”Meimei, stop teasing me.”

”Itʼs not a joke, itʼs a joy!” Xiumei rarely hurt Xu Zhengyong, ”Tell me, whatʼs going on here?”

”It is the position arranged by His Highness the Seventh Highness before, deputy guard, conferred the title of Lieutenant Zhongxian.” Xu Zhengyong replied.

”Lieutenant Zhongxian? Isnʼt the deputy guard a sixth-rank official? How did you get named Captain Zhongxian?” Xiumei asked.

”Because I was promoted too fast, I was a deputy defense in real job, but the grade was assigned to be from the sixth rank.” Xu Zhengyong explained.

He was able to sit in this defensive position not only because of the great contribution he made this time, but also because he is currently at war with Japanese pirates, and there is no better candidate for the time being.

But even so, his promotion this time was a little too fast, so the court specially made this arrangement.

”I see.” Xiumei nodded after understanding, ”Anyway, Brother Xiaoyong is now a serious official! After becoming Captain Zhongxian, will he be like our master? Do you have a mansion?”

”Yes, the imperial court has arranged a mansion.” Xu Zhengyong said.

”From now on, Brother Xiaoyong and Uncle Nanny will be able to live in a big mansion! There will also be guards and maidservants at home, and they will be able to make a grand sedan chair and a carriage when they go out!” Xiumei said happily.

”I donʼt care too much. I still think itʼs good to live in a small courtyard, but Iʼm not used to living in a big courtyard.” Xu Zhengyong said.

The nanny couldnʼt help but said, ”I also think the small yard is very good, and itʼs convenient for us to take care of the shop.”
