Manbao lifted the curtain and said with a smile upon seeing them, "Let's skip the chitchat. I should have invited you to stay at our place, but we are dealing with some troubles and it's not appropriate to have you stay at our home. I'll take you to an inn. Settle down there for now, and later I'll introduce you to a reliable house agent to discuss what kind of property you want to rent."
This was somewhat beyond Steward Xu's expectation, but there wasn't time to ponder, and he quickly bowed in agreement.
Manbao took them to Zhou's restaurant.
Since Zhou Wulang started running a restaurant in the street, he had gotten to know quite a few people as he was in charge of purchasing and greeting the customers.
He was familiar with innkeeping and house agents, so there was no need to find Shopkeeper Zheng again.
Moreover, Zhou Wulang, Zhou Liulang, as well as Datou and Second Son, all knew Fu Wenhua; they used to sell sugar to him when they went to the county town.
