The steward, Xu, saw his young master and the Bai brothers at the entrance of Pine Nut Alley.
Compared to Bai Erlang and Bai Shan, steward Xu was much more familiar with Bai Dalang, because when County Magistrate Fu was in office, every New Year's, Old Master Bai always took Bai Dalang to pay a visit to County Magistrate Fu.
Not only was Bai Dalang a well-known young talent in Luojiang County, but he also briefly attended the Luojiang County School, from which he had passed the examinations to enter the Mianzhou Prefectural School.
Although his advancement wasn't through County Magistrate Fu's connections, but rather, it was said that his own family tutor found the relationship for him, this was still credited as one of County Magistrate Fu's political achievements. As such, steward Xu recognized Bai Dalang, and they were somewhat acquainted.
