The fog of the mountain stream falls a little earlier in the evening and disperses later in the morning.

Autumn is stronger, but autumn chrysanthemums are more colorful.

When the sun rose and the clouds gradually subsided, finally revealing the mountainside where the mountain gathered in the back mountain of Beye, Li Chen'an and Xiao Wu came to the tomb again.

In the blink of an eye, it was the first seven of Sun Tiexian.

Zhongli Ruoshui was also going to come, but was dissuaded by Li Chen'an, because the mountain stream was foggy and cold, and the mountainside was windy, and Zhongli Ruoshui was sick yesterday and had a cough.

When the two of them stood in front of the grave, they were suddenly taken aback, because there were actually two plates on the worship platform in front of the grave!

One plate is filled with pork tails in sauce.

The other plate is also filled with pork tail in sauce!

The two looked at each other, and there was inexplicable surprise in each other's eyes.

"You've been here?"

Xiao Wu shook his head.

"Who else would there be?"

Xiao Wu still shook his head, he suddenly squatted on the ground, picked up a dead branch, and wrote on the muddy ground in front of the worship platform:

"Grandpa doesn't have any friends, I think it's Mrs. Fan from the Dingguo Marquis Mansion. ”

"Because grandpa likes to eat sauce pig's tail, very few people know about it, except for the third lady and me, there is probably only the old lady. ”

Li Chenan also squatted down, reached out and twisted a piece of pig's tail and pinched it, it was very elastic, that is, it had just been placed here not long ago.

He got up and looked around, but there was nothing but the kind white mist and a few birds flying in the white mist.

The Dingguo Marquis Mansion is some distance from here.

If Mrs. Fan had been here, why hadn't she gone to sit in the wilderness?

He suddenly remembered that two days ago, under the crooked neck tree of the Imperial City Division, on the stone table in front of the eldest grandson Jinghong, there was also such a plate of sauce pig's tails.

Li Chen'an raised his eyebrows and didn't ask again.

Xiao Wu erased the words on the ground, and the two of them put on incense wax, burned paper money, knelt down and went down the mountain.

After taking a break in Yunjibiye, Li Chenan decided to go to the palace to have a look.

Go and see the grassy Supervision Division, and then go to the Imperial City Division to further familiarize yourself with the seven, and you also need to go to the eight-story building to rummage through the information collected by the Imperial City Division about those officials.

"Which outfit to wear?"

Zhongli Ruoshui was a little worried, because Li Chenan had two sets of official robes.

"I still prefer this black, I have to wear soap, black looks better. ”

Zhongli Ruoshui glanced at him, took the black robe and put it on for Li Chen'an, and tied the small golden sword that could enter and leave the palace around his waist.

After looking left and right, Zhongli Ruoshui laughed, because she also thought that this black color was indeed better.

"You stay in your room, but don't go and get cold. ”

"Good...... I'll be waiting for you at home. ”

"Well, Xiao Wu's charcoal is good, ask Xue'er to make a pot of charcoal fire, but remember that the windows can't be closed tightly. ”

"Hmm. ”

Li Chenan reached out and grabbed Zhongli Ruoshui's shoulder, hugged her into his arms, and let go after a while.

He turned and walked out.

......

......

It was nearly noon when I arrived at the palace.

He was probably the last to come to the palace.

It was very quiet in the huge palace.

So much so that he had an illusion, is this a rest?

But when he passed by those yamen, he clearly saw that there were people inside.

Not just people, but a lot of whispers.

"Xiangye hasn't been here for three days...... My lord, can you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit the Prime Minister?"

"Hey......"

A voice sighed: "This official has been there, but the porter of the Prime Minister's Mansion said that the Prime Minister is sick and is recuperating in bed, so it is really not suitable to meet guests! What can this official do?"

"It's also strange to say that His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor hasn't entered the palace in the past few days...... What's wrong with him?"

"Don't guess, he's fine! Master Huang of the Ministry of Industry said that he had been to the Plum Garden two days ago, and he had to make all the houses in the Plum Garden into some kind of warm pavilion. ”

"What is the Warm Pavilion?"

"How does this official know? But Lord Huang said that if that thing is made, it will not feel the slightest chill in the room for twelve hours throughout the winter. ”

"Oh, that's a good thing. My lord, the second prince doesn't seem to have gone out in the past few days! Has the direction of the wind changed?"

"Shut up! is change something you can figure out right now?"

"That's not what Xia Guan meant. ”

"And what do you mean?"

"Xia Guan thought ...... It's time for you to figure it out!"

“......”

Li Chen'an raised his eyebrows, walked through many yamen, and what he heard was generally these words, well, they were all gossiping, and no one was doing business.

He wanted to go to the yamen of the household department for a walk, but after thinking about it, he really didn't have any words with the second uncle, so he gave up and went to the remote place where all the officials had forgotten about the supervision department.

He didn't know that many heads were poking out of the yamen behind him.

The men were looking at his back, at his dark clothes.

Suddenly, a voice of surprise came from behind: "Look, this official said that he is going to the Supervision Division instead of the Imperial City Division!"

"If you lose, give the silver!"

“......”

Li Chenan turned around.

All heads shrank back in that instant.

He walked back to the Inspectorate.

When I walked into a courtyard, I saw a garden full of dead grass.

The palace in the courtyard is actually not small, and there are two podiums on the left and right.

It's just that it's really old.

The old one is like the old man who lies on a chair in front of the temple basking in the sun!

The old man's official robes were all washed white, and there were even a few patches.

He didn't wear a hat, and his gray hair wasn't too thin, like the withered grass.

Li Chenan walked over with a slight smile.

It was his shadow that blocked the sunlight that fell on the old man's face, and the old man's eyes opened a slit and he saw the pitch-black clothes.

The old man's eyes widened suddenly, and one of the guys sat up, and quickly stood up again.

He bowed and saluted: "Your Excellency of the Imperial City Division?"

"There is no one in our Supervision Yuan...... Who do you want to look up for?"

"You're the Tang Counselor?"

"Xia Guan is exactly. ”

"Oh, my name is Li Chen'an, the counselor of our Supervision Yuan, speaking of which, you are still my superior!"

Tang Buju was taken aback, the old eyes opened a little wider, his body was slightly hooked, and when he heard it at this moment, he hooked it even more.

"The lower officials don't dare, the lower officials have seen and seen...... Little Li-sama!"

"I don't know what Lord Xiao Li has to do when he comes?"

Li Chenan waved his hand, "It's okay, after all, I'm also a counselor, come here to take a look, you...... You continue to sleep. ”

Tang Buju was startled when he heard this, "Lord Xiao Li...... It's not that the lower officials like to sleep, but ......"

"I know, you take care of your spirits first, and in a few days there will be work for you. ”

"By the way, I'm not familiar with those officials here, but you are an old man from the Supervision Department, you should be familiar with it. ”

"It is said that I, an official, should not be in charge of so many things, and I can't manage so many people, but in his position, I still have to do something. ”

"In a few days, you will call all the officials who are idle at home, and tomorrow I will ask Lord Huang from the Ministry of Industry to mess with our place. ”

"Brighten up and make it new...... After all, there has to be a new atmosphere. ”

"That's it, you continue to sleep, I'll go to the Imperial City Division. ”

After Li Chenan finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Tang Buju straightened his waist and looked at Li Chen'an's back.

He smiled suddenly, shook his head, and lay down in the chair again.

just didn't close his eyes, but squinted slightly, and muttered:

"Winter has not yet arrived, is spring coming?"

He sighed suddenly: "Hey...... Newborn calves, after all, still can't fight tigers!"
