After everything was settled, Li Jinglan called Lu Guanyu to the bedroom to talk to her alone.

"Which of the girls who came today do you think is better?" Li Jinglan asked again.

Lu Guanyu thought about it carefully.

"Everyone else told me to give the money to their parents and brothers, but Qinglu was the only one who took the money to buy meat."

"I think Qinglu is pretty good."

When it comes to observing people, Lu Guanyu is still pretty good.

Li Jinglan felt slightly relieved.

He added: "They have just arrived at our home, so you should pay close attention to them. You can also learn some principles of how to behave from them."

"After observing them for a while, pick out the best one you think to be your maid."

"Didn't my sister-in-law ask Qinglu to serve me?" Lu Guanyu was confused. "Isn't she a maid?"

"She is just a target and role model I set up. If she wants to change from a target to a maid, let's see how she behaves in the future."

Li Jinglan took out a small box and put it in Lu Guanyu's hand.

"You can wear these jewelry now, or keep them if you don't want to wear them. Don't give them to anyone. Wait until I tell you that you can give them to others."

Lu Guanyu opened the box and found silver and gold jewelry in it. He held it tightly in his arms and said, "I won't give it to anyone."

"Silly girl." Li Jinglan scratched Lu Guanyu's nose with a smile.

No more extra words were said.

Lu Guanyu is still young.

There is not much to learn at once.

Lu Guanyu held the jewelry box, walked out of the bedroom with a silly smile on his face, and went to the back room.

Qinglu followed behind Lu Guanyu, keeping pace with him.

The other little girls looked at each other and followed behind.

Madam Liu then came into the room and said, "I think those little girls are quite hostile to Qinglu."

"They came in on the same day. She got a name and her monthly salary went up. Of course, others were not convinced." Li Jinglan glanced at Aunt Liu, "Has the letter been sent?"

"Sent him away." Nanny Liu was still a little worried and mentioned Lu Xuande's name again.

"Lu Xuande will be back tomorrow."

Li Jinglan smiled slightly, not worried at all.

She was originally thinking about how Lu Bozhou would make his debut.

Coincidentally, Lu Xuande brought the opportunity.

The Lu Zhang family’s home is not far from the Lu family compound.

Mrs. Lu Zhang asked Mrs. Zhang, who had just returned from outside, "Is there any news about Xuande?"

"Master has news that he will be able to return to Xishui Village tomorrow," replied Mrs. Zhang.

Only then did Lu Zhang feel relieved.

"When Xuande comes back, I will definitely skin Li Jinglan alive." Lu Zhang cursed angrily.

Soon.

The male servant sent by Nanny Liu to deliver the letter and silver arrived at Teacher Wang's house.

He first reported to the main courtyard, and after hearing Liu's words, he went to the front yard to deliver something to Lu Bozhou.

As soon as I arrived at the front yard, I heard crying.

"Da Lang, I thought I would never see you again in this life."

Da Lang?

Wang Yongqing was the second child in the family, and everyone in the family called him Erlang.

Is this Dalang talking about Lu Bozhou?

The butler couldn't help but look over.

But he saw a disheveled girl kneeling in the study in the front yard.

There was a small bundle next to the girl.

"Nervous heart?"

Then, the servant heard Lu Bozhou's voice again.

Lu Bozhou held onto the chair, his voice trembling: "Is it Ningxin?"

"It's the slave girl, it's me!"

Ningxin crawled a few steps on her knees and fell at Lu Bozhou's feet.

"I have been looking for you for a long time. I escaped from the Zhang family two months ago and dared not return to Xishui Village because I was afraid that I would be caught by the Lu family and sent back to the Zhang family."

"Then I started begging on the street. Today I heard that you were rescued, so I immediately came to the Wang family's door to look for you."

Lu Bozhou closed his eyes and felt very sad.

It's his incompetence.

Not only was he unable to protect his younger brothers and sisters from being tortured, he was also unable to protect the people around him.

"Zhang family? Which Zhang family?" Lu Bozhou asked, suppressing his grief.

"It's the family of Mr. Zhang from the next county." Ningxin replied.

"Less than a month after the mistress passed away, they sold the slave to Mr. Zhang's family in the next county for five taels of silver, and made her serve Mr. Zhang's four-year-old son."

"Mr. Zhang had a son when he was old. He kept a close eye on his youngest son and often blamed his servants for not serving him well and often beat them."

Ningxin stretched out her arms.

It was covered with old whip marks.

"I couldn't bear the beating, so I ran away." Ning Xin's tears fell drop by drop.

Wang Yongqing saw the whip marks on Ningxin's face again and was furious: "That scholar Zhang has a good reputation, how could he do such a thing as beating you? You are a young woman, how could he hit you in the face with a whip?"

The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. But I couldn't curse, so I could only grit my teeth and curse, "You scum."

However, Lu Bozhou felt that the matter was a bit difficult.

Since Mr. Zhang was capable of beating servants and maids, he must not be a good person.

Ningxin came to him for refuge, and this matter must have reached Mr. Zhang's ears.

He cannot make enemies with anyone at this time.

Lu Bozhou thought about it and turned to look at Wang Yongqing.

"Brother Yongqing, can I dictate a letter of apology and you copy it for me? Please lend me ten taels of silver and send the silver and the letter to Mr. Zhang's residence tomorrow."

First apologize, then offer silver to redeem Ningxin.

Wang Yongqing nodded, "Yes."

Lu Bozhou then looked back at Ning Xin: "Just stay here and relax. I will take care of the future matters."

I carefully observed Lu Bozhou's eyes and found that when he turned his head to look at people, his eyes were dull and lifeless.

With a trembling voice, he asked, "Da Lang, your eyes?"

Lu Bozhou didn't want to talk about it, so he waved his hand and said, "Go down and have a rest first, wash up. You will continue to serve me in the future."

Ning Xin understood something, tears flowed again, and her voice trembled:

"Is it the Lu family's fault? They want to kill for money!"

Lu Bozhou shook his head and sighed softly: "You rest first, I still have things to do."

Ning Xin then wiped her tears with her sleeves, but she was reluctant to leave. She just stood aside and cried silently.

Next, Lu Bozhou dictated and Wang Yongqing wrote it down.

The two wrote an apology letter.

Only after the letter was finished did the male servant speak: "Report to Mr. Lu and Erlang, the lady of the Li family sent a letter and silver."

"Oh, has my sister-in-law sent a letter?" Wang Yongqing was extremely happy. "Send it in quickly and make Bozhou happy. He has been worried all day long."

Hearing Li Jinglan's name, Lu Bozhou couldn't help but smile.

Wang Yongqing took the letter, looked through it from beginning to end, and then began to read.

The letter was very short, only three sentences.

Ask Lu Bozhou to invite all the students from the community school to go to Xiaotuo Temple tomorrow for a garden party and a vegetarian meal.

Li Jinglan has sent the head of the yamen runners to Xiaotuo Temple to make arrangements, and Xiaotuo Temple will be cleared tomorrow.

If Lu Bozhou doesn't understand something, he can ask the head of the yamen runners to come over and answer his questions.

"Garden party?"

Lu Bozhou hesitated for a moment and asked Wang Yongqing: "What time is it now?"

"It's almost dark outside." Wang Yongqing replied.

Invite classmates to go to the garden tomorrow.

Then we must send someone to inform the students today.

But it’s almost dark now, which is not a good time to notify.

In the letter, Li Jinglan also asked him to summon the head of the yamen runners for questioning.

Did something happen at home?

Lu Bozhou was anxious to go home and take a look.

"Please read the letter to me again." He asked Wang Yongqing to read the letter again.

Wang Yongqing read the letter again.

It’s still those three sentences.

Not a single word wrong.

Ning Xin, who was standing nearby, understood.

It was Lu Bozhou's newlywed wife who asked him to go to Xiaotuo Temple to hold a garden party tomorrow.

Lu Bozhou can’t see clearly now and his health is not good.

What kind of garden party is this?

It’s really tiring!

Ning Xin couldn't help but persuade him: "I see that you are not in good health, you should take care of your health."

"The garden party can be held anytime! There's no need to rush until tomorrow." Ning Xin said.
