Chapter 376 The Last Chance

"Hu Zi, A Mu, Asang!" The carriage had just taken two steps when someone came out from the Su Mansion to chase after it.

The carriage stopped and Hu Zi lifted the curtain. It was Su Shiyan and Su Chenyan who came out holding their robes.

"What's the matter, sir?" Hu Zi asked.

These two gentlemen used to be good at teaching, but ever since my aunt married their father as his second wife, they have become much colder towards the three Hu brothers, even ignoring them.

"Where are you going?" Su Shiyan asked with concern.

"?" Hu Zi was a little confused. He was flattered by the enthusiasm. "I'll stay at the Duke of Yixing's mansion for a while!"

"Duke Yixing? So you two are one family!" Su Shiyan said warmly, "Remember to come back often!"

"It's saved by my disciple!" Hu Zi instantly understood why the two people became so enthusiastic. It turned out that they were benefiting from the Yixing County Duke's Mansion.

"We will visit the Duke of Yixing's mansion another day. We are relatives, so we should visit each other more often to avoid becoming strangers!" Su Shiyan said earnestly.

"?" Hu Zi was a little stunned.

"The Duke of Yixing was not at home, but the eldest son of the Duke of Yixing took pity on my brothers and me, as we were helpless, and took us to stay for a few days.

The eldest son is busy with official duties, so please don't disturb him!"

Su Shiyan criticized, "Huzi, you are too young and don't understand the ways of the world! Since you are staying here temporarily, you should get closer to the eldest master! How can you be so ignorant?"

Hu Zi frowned. Was it because he was ignorant, or were these two people unable to understand what he was saying?

"Sir, do you have anything else to say?" Hu Zi didn't want to argue any further.

"Go, go!" Su Shiyan saw the impatient look on the manager's face and quickly made way.

"Take care of yourself and take good care of yourself! I will come to test your homework in two days!" Su Shiyan reminded earnestly.

Hu Zi lowered the car curtain and felt as disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly.

"Hu Zi! Are you unhappy?" Amu saw that his cousin had a gloomy face.

"Oh!" Hu Zi sighed and said nothing.

Amu and Asan are honest and straightforward, and cannot understand the twists and turns in the story.

The people came to them warmly, not because they cared about the three brothers, but because they wanted to take the opportunity to get close to the Yixing County Duke's Mansion.

The three of us brothers are already living under someone else's roof, I wonder how these two can be so bold as to approach us?

There were many scholars in Chang'an City who relied on the powerful and famous scholars. There was no way around it because the imperial examinations were in the hands of the powerful.

This was the prevailing trend at the time. People would try to climb up the social ladder and ask for letters of recommendation so that they would have a chance of being admitted to the imperial examinations and have someone to guide them into officialdom.

It's just that the way these two people eat is so ugly. They just treat his three brothers as fools and stepping stones. It's very disgusting.

"Knock, knock, knock!" Xie Jinan mustered up the courage to knock on the door, while Ah He and Ah Niu looked at him nervously.

This was given by Old Man Zheng to his grandson Xie Jinan. All the children of the Zheng family have been found a place to stay and have been taken in by members of the Zheng clan.

Write him a separate letter, and if there is no contact with the Xie family, use it to find a man named Zheng Jibo.

The head of the neighborhood told him that Zheng Jibo had passed away long ago and had two daughters in Chang'an.

One is Zheng Guanyin, the wife of the retired Crown Prince Li Jiancheng, who is now living in seclusion at Changle Gate of Taiji Palace.

The other was Zheng Yue'e, the wife of Li Anyan, the General of the Left Guard.

The photo being taken at this moment is of the door of Li Anyan's house.

"Squeak!" The corner door opened and the doorman stuck his head out.

"Hello, old man!" Xie Jinan greeted politely.

Seeing that they were some children, he asked, "What's going on?"

"I'm looking for an old friend!" Xie Jinan handed over the letter, "Zheng Jibo!"

"Zheng Jibo? You've come to the wrong place. This is the residence of Li, the General of the Left Guard." The doorman didn't know who Zheng Jibo was.

"It's right here. Please give the letter to Madam Li and she will come to see me." Xie Jinan tried his best to appear calm and composed, but his heart was actually beating like a drum.

The doorman looked at Xie Jinan for a few seconds without moving.

"Old man, take this and have some tea!" Ah He understood immediately and hurriedly handed over the money in his pocket.

"Wait!" The doorman's expression softened and he turned around to close the corner door.

"Thank you, Ah He!" Xie Jinan wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was so nervous that he forgot to give the money.

The servants of wealthy families cannot be ordered around without money.

After a while, the doorman opened the door with a kind smile on his face. "Madam is in the living room. Please come in, young master!"

"Thank you, old man!" Xie Jinan said happily and followed the doorman inside.

Ah He and Ah Niu also followed in.

"Madam, the young master is here!" The doorman replied from outside the reception room.

"Come in!" a gentle voice sounded.

Xie Jinan, Ah Niu, and Ah He came in, "Meet the Madam!"

Sitting on the main seat was a beautiful woman in her thirties, dressed in gorgeous clothes and looking graceful and elegant.

"Huh? Who among you is Zheng Jishan's grandson?" Carrie Lam looked at the three cute little boys, all wearing orange vests.

"Madam, I am Xie Jinan, and my grandfather is Zheng Jishan." Xie Jinan stepped forward and said.

"Xie Jinan? Your mother is Zheng Paner?" Carrie Lam looked surprised.

"My lady, that's right!"

"Raise your head!" Carrie Lam stared at Nicholas Tse and nodded continuously.

"Like! Really like! 80% like Pan'er! Come on, sit down! Come on, sit down! Have some tea!"

After hearing about the tea, Xie Jinan felt more at ease and no longer nervous.

"Is your mother okay?" Carrie Lam asked with concern.

"Madam, my mother is fine!" Xie Jinan said like a little adult.

"Where are your grandparents?"

"All are healthy!"

"That's good, that's good!" Carrie Lam wiped her eyes.

My husband Li Anyan was originally an official under Crown Prince Li Jiancheng. During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he fought desperately to protect Li Jiancheng.

Afterwards, the emperor did not pursue responsibility. Instead, he respected my husband's sincerity and appointed him as the General of the Left Tunwei to guard the palace.

Since Li Jiancheng was killed, his sister Zheng Guanyin has lived in seclusion in Changle Gate and has hardly interacted with the outside world.

I didn’t expect that the descendants of Zheng would come to visit me from thousands of miles away.

Zheng Jishan and his father Zheng Jibo were brothers. When Zheng Jishan was exiled to Lingnan, he asked his father to help rescue him and let his child stay, but his father did not help.

This time, Zheng Jishan wrote the letter after struggling for a long time. He wrote the most unlikely letter, but it became his last chance.

"I have read your grandfather's letter. If you don't mind, come to my place! If nothing else, you can find a place to shelter from the wind and rain!" Carrie Lam did not beat around the bush.

You can see that the child's eyes are cautious, afraid of being rejected.

"Thank you, ma'am!" Xie Jinan said happily. He didn't expect the surprise to come so soon!

"What are you thanking me for? I have several good students at home. It's good for you to have company while you study!" Carrie Lam looked at Nicholas Tse with tender eyes.

Except for the eldest son who died young, the other five sons of my sister were all killed in the Xuanwu Gate Incident, leaving only five daughters alive.

If the child were still alive, he would be about this size.

"Are they your friends?" Seeing Ah He's expression of both joy and loss, Carrie Lam guessed which wealthy family they were from.

"Madam, this is my classmate Wang Zhihe, whose grandfather is Wang Zecheng. This is Wei Aniu, a Li people," Xie Jinan introduced.

"Wang Zecheng?" Zheng Yue'e thought for a long time before she remembered that this was the Wang family of Langya. "Have you found any relatives or friends?"

"No!" Ah He lowered his head.

"If you don't mind, come to my place. Jinan doesn't have to be separated from his companions!" Carrie Lam invited.

"Is it okay?" Ah He asked in surprise.

"Of course, are you willing?" Carrie Lam said with a smile.

"Yes, yes!" Ah He said happily, and Ah Niu nodded.

Having someone take you in means that someone will help you plan your future. As long as you don't do anything stupid, your future will not be bad.
