I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

"Aunt Song, no need to be so polite. Is the stone here?"

Fu Jichang dismounted and said.

There were only Liang Yuyao and Lin Pozi at Shitou's home. It was inconvenient for Fu Jichang to go there, so he came directly to the workshop to find Shitou.

Shitou had just packed up and was about to leave when he heard someone looking for him.

"Aunt Song, who is that?"

"Shitou, it's Master Fu here!"

"Fu, Lord Fu..." Shitou ran out in a hurry.

"Master Fu, are my sisters back?" Shitou was surprised and happy to see Fu Jichang.

"Not yet, they will be back in a while...Are you all okay?" Fu Jichang asked.

"Okay, that's all. Come to my house. My mother is cooking. Let's go back for dinner..." Although Shi Tou was a little intimidated by Lord Fu, who was a high-ranking official, he still made this invitation.

"I have something else to do. I brought some snacks for Aunt Lin and some wine from Xijiang for you!"

Heita took the things down.

Xiaoju was busy in the side room. When she heard the sound, she looked out through the window, her little face flushed.

Heita put the things down and looked around the yard.

"Um, Brother Shitou, Uncle Hei and the others are not here?" asked Heita.

"Oh, they finished their work early today and went back early. Do you have anything to do with them?" Shitou asked puzzledly.

"It's okay, I just haven't seen you for a long time, I want to ask around!"

Heita said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Shi Tou, come in, I want to talk to you!"

Fu Jichang glanced at the black tower and sweat broke out on his head.

Fu Jichang snorted softly in his heart: What a useless look!

Shitou nervously went into the house with Fu Jichang.

It was the first time that he had a private conversation with Fu Jichang as the head of the Ji family.

Before he got married, Fu Jichang was still his youngest cousin. Now he is Lord Fu, the magistrate of Anzhou.

No, I heard that he was promoted again, and the emperor appointed him personally.

As for what kind of official he was, he was not quite sure.

Anyway, it was a very big official position, so big that he couldn’t even imagine it.

"Fu, Lord Fu, what can I do for you?" Shi Tou was a little nervous, as if he was being interrogated by the government.

Fu Jichang smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I just want to tell you about your sister and the child!"

"Ah..." Shitou became even more nervous, "What happened to my sister?"

Shitou is the male head of the Ji family. Since his sister passed away, he has been in charge of all matters, big or small.

He suddenly thought of something. If Fu Jichang came back on his own, received the emperor's reward, and was promoted to a higher position, would he no longer need his sister?

Thinking of this, the expression on his face changed suddenly.

Fu Jichang didn't come here just to tell me this, did he?

snort!

When he left last year, he was in such a miserable state. The emperor sentenced him to store land in the western border.

But my sister resolutely took the children and followed him.

Only they themselves know how much hardship and suffering they have endured along the way.

The two children are still so young.

Shitou felt sad. He thought his sister was too stupid. She had no knowledge and was easily deceived by men.

He was furious and spoke harshly: "My sister, you are not allowed to let my sister down..."

"Ah..." Fu Jichang was surprised. How could he be sorry for his sister?

"No, Shitou, I have never done anything wrong to your sister..."

Fu Jichang felt a little nervous when he said this.

How can I not feel sorry? I think about how many things I have done to her.

Fu Jichang rubbed his nose and said, "Oh, there is one more thing. This letter was brought to your wife by County Magistrate Liang."

Fu Jichang felt that Shi Tou might have gone astray regarding Ji Xiaobei.

Now he was not sure how Ji Xiaobei and the others could get to Anzhou. He was upset after thinking about it.

He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Shi Tou.

"Magister Liang, which county magistrate is Magistrate Liang..." Shi Tou asked without thinking, and then he was stunned again before he reacted.

Oh my god, Magistrate Liang must be Liang Yuhui.

It’s my talented brother-in-law.

Shitou took the letter from Fu Jichang with both hands and asked respectfully, "My brother-in-law, no, County Magistrate Liang, is doing well, right?"

Shitou knew that Liang Yuyao cared about his younger brother the most.

"He's fine. He has some books and personal belongings. I'll bring them to you when your sister comes back!"

"Ah, Liang Yuhui is dead?"

When Shitou heard that there would be some personal belongings to be taken care of later, his heart tightened and he said what was in his mind without even thinking.

"No, he is still alive. He is now the magistrate of Boling County and Ye County. The emperor's commendation will be here soon!"

Fu Jichang hurriedly explained it to Shi Tou.

Otherwise, if he, the messenger, misunderstands...

……

Outside, Xiaoju called Heita into the house.

"Xiao Ju, are you okay?" Heita said with a grin.

"Okay, what's good about it? My mother goes to find a matchmaker every day, and I'm so annoyed..." Xiaoju said with a pout.

"Don't bother me, Ju, I brought you some delicious food..." Heita said as he took out some dried fruits from Xinjiang.

Unexpectedly, Xiaoju turned her neck and said, "Who wants food?"

Heita was completely confused.

In the past, Xiaoju was very happy when I bought delicious food for her.

I haven't seen her for a few months, why doesn't she like to eat anymore?

"Xiao Ju, what's wrong with you? Why are you angry?" Heita asked.

"Are you a piece of wood?"

Xiaoju became even angrier and her face turned red.

"I, I'm not..." Heita looked down at his body.

"Oh, how can I tell you so that you understand..."

Heita: "Just speak directly. You know I won't beat around the bush. You didn't speak like this before. Who did you learn to beat around the bush from?"

"You..." Xiaoju gritted her teeth in anger.

"I'm going to marry into the Wang family of Anzhou!" Xiaoju felt that if she didn't say it out loud, even if Heita was beaten to death, he wouldn't be able to figure it out.

"Ah, Xiaoju, you said you would marry me, why do you regret it?"

Heita became anxious and his dark face turned red.

Heita was not stupid either, he suddenly understood.

"Ju, I will go back and tell my master to act as a matchmaker and propose marriage to me..." Heita clenched his fists tightly.

If anyone dares to marry Xiaoju, he will fight him to the death.

"My mother won't let me marry you!"

Xiaoju said with a bitter face.

"Why?"

"The Wang family has been doing business for generations, and there are scholars in the family. My mother wants me to marry into such a family..."

Xiaoju secretly looked up at Heita's face.

Heita bit his thick lips.

In terms of family background, he can't compare with her.

He was just a servant bought by Mrs. Fu to keep Fu Jichang company.

Although the Fu family treated him very well, he was still a servant of the Fu family after all.

With such a background, how can he compare with Prince Wang?

He felt frustrated, lost, and even a little desperate.

He was very happy with Xiaoju and had never thought about such things.

Now that I really want to marry her, I have to face all this.

"Ju, as long as you live well and as long as you are willing, I, Heita, will bless you..." Heita bit his lips and it took a long time before he uttered a few words.
