Chapter 313
Chapter 313
Fu Jian was not upset about Fu Weixin's haste to get married. Besides the news that Zheng Zhixin, the third son of the governor of Changning Prefecture, had been seriously injured in suppressing the rebellion some time ago, he also had not yet assigned enough staff to her.
Since the husband chosen by Fu Weixin was out of the range that Fu Jian had expected, he sent people to speed up the training of the accompanying personnel.
It is easy to find skilled guards, but it is difficult to find maids and servants who are skilled in martial arts, knowledgeable in pharmacology, or meticulous and smart to bring into the back house.
Unlike the very peaceful environment in the village or the mansion, the relationships in Changning Mansion were chaotic and full of disputes. Even if there were more guards, there would always be inconveniences in the backyard.
"Why don't you go and persuade her again? Zheng Zhixin has been tricked, how long can she withstand him?" After Fu Jian sent Mr. Hao away, he hurriedly found Fu An to discuss countermeasures.
Fu An did not try to persuade her, but simply asked, "Since you were unable to dissuade her from doing so, you should have known that she would eventually be involved in the disputes in the harem.
And when Madam Song sent someone to ask about the wedding date, Afu had already chosen the latest one. Now you are like this, are you planning to delay the wedding, or are you regretting it?"
Fu Jian had a moment of thought about the possibility behind it, but then the scene of General Song and General Song riding on horses and lecturing him in the city with spears in hand emerged in his mind, and he still refused unsteadily:
"I just want to wait a little longer, until I have enough people for Afu, and until that guy recovers."
Fu An pressed his eyebrows together and said, "But she is already nineteen. She has thought clearly about what kind of situation she will face. Even if Cousin Bai were still alive, he would not ignore her wishes."
That's not necessarily true... Fu Jian quietly retorted in his heart, and asked again: "When did Afu come to see you?"
"Just now." Fu An thought about the task he was asked to do and continued, "Afu wanted to ask you, when can you return the three borrowed maids to her?"
There was a period of time when the village was seriously short of manpower, so Fu Weixin borrowed Yile and Chunying to help, and later borrowed Baoqin, Tingying and Huanyan to do the work.
When she arrived at the foot of the mountain, she found that the mansion had recruited many new people, but so far, except for Baoqin and Tingying who returned to her, the remaining three had been missing for several months.
Fu Jian carefully recalled the arrangements for several people and touched his nose awkwardly after a moment: "The maid named Chunying was temporarily loaned to General Song. She went back with Zhou Li to report."
"Yile was spotted by Fu San (Fu Bing) and sent to another prefecture. He won't be able to return for the time being."
"Huanyan, you have a talent for martial arts. If you practice a few more days of boxing and kicking, you will definitely be able to be sent back in a few days."
Fu An looked at Fu Jian as if he was meeting him for the first time, staring at him intently: "You are really amazing, you don't even let go of the people around me."
Thinking of Fu Weixin's picky attitude towards the maids around him, and the fact that he only became comfortable with the maids after he was familiar with them, the two began to feel a headache.
After a long while, Fu Jian said, "I'll ask Fu Er (Fu Yi) to carefully select among his men."
Fu Yi walked quickly into the room just in time to hear the voices. After finishing his greetings, he asked, "Who do you want to choose to leave? My two masters, it is not easy to train the group of people under me. We must cherish them and use them."
When Fu Yi learned that he had to pick a few more girls for Fu to bring to the Zheng family in Changning Prefecture, he was actually reluctant to do so. They were the ones who knew the chaos in the Zheng family's backyard best.
He looked at the faces of his two masters and said with some embarrassment: "Among my subordinates, there are not many women. They are all as careful as a hair and one is worth two. It would be a pity if they were killed in the inner house because of a trick. Besides, most of them are still good people and their families are still alive..."
But this time, Fu Jian didn't want to understand: "Just tell me how many you can arrange?"
"One..." Fu Yi reluctantly changed his words, "Two at most, otherwise everything else will be delayed."
"Okay, then three."
