Chapter 206: Divine Decree
He Luo promised that he would never settle accounts with Wen Zhili so clearly in the future. Her cat was in Wen Zhili's arms, feeling the temperature coming from his body, and felt very relieved.
Her eyelids grew heavier, and she leaned closer to him. I don't know if he is asleep, she said softly: "Master, you said that if the second master can be carefree and safe all his life, you don't want this life." Don't want this life, take my life, my life is yours anyway. I am not your relative, but I will be with you. ”
Wen Zhili didn't actually fall asleep, and when he heard He Luo say this, his heart throbbed again. hugged her arm tightly and whispered, "Stupid." ”
"It's just stupid, smart who follows you!" After He Luo finished speaking, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
He Luo didn't know how long she had been asleep, and when she opened her eyes lazily, there was no one around. She felt sore and didn't want to move.
It wasn't until the maid outside knocked on the door that He Luo reluctantly got up and put on his clothes. The maids came in when she heard her, and they seemed to be ready to wait for her to get up, with basins and towels in their hands. Their eyes when they looked at He Luo were more or less ambiguous.
Heluo told them to put their things down so that she could come by herself. The maids looked at each other, and then withdrew. After they left, He Luo cleaned up and left the room.
When she came out, she looked at the maid and said, "If the master comes back, tell him that I am going back to the house, and I will not come tonight." Ye's body has not fully recovered, you should be careful. ”
The maid should be obedient, He Luo went to the kitchen to find something to eat, and chatted with the cook for a while before returning to the room. She felt that she was too tired to do anything else, so she lit the stove and climbed into bed.
Had a good night's sleep and the weather the next day was excellent. In the following days, He Luo was still by Wen Zhili's side, his body was getting better and better, and it seemed that he was about to recover.
During this period, he and Wen Zhichu went to worship their mother, and after they returned, they both locked themselves in their rooms for a night. He Luo has been used to this matter over the years, so naturally he will not quarrel with him.
A few days later, I heard that the boss of the gambling house took his son's body and his family to the door of the prosecutor's office to cry, which caused the people to watch. After Jian You saw it, he questioned Boss Qian. When he learned of what had happened, he immediately reported it to the Holy One.
After the saint found out, he said that he would investigate the matter thoroughly, and finally found out that Zheng Baili's son Cao Kan was killed, and he kept suppressing the Qian family and preventing the Qian family from reporting to the official. Zheng Baili was demoted to other places because he had no way to teach his children and oppressed the people, and his son was executed.
Zhang Ruoling reported on Wang Que's incident, and asked the emperor for his poor supervision of his subordinates, and now found evidence of collusion between Luo Qihua and Wang Que. Shang praised Zhang Ruoling for this, but Zhang Ruoling didn't dare to ask for credit, only saying that the matter was found out with the help of Zuo Xiang's younger brother.
Shengshang remembered that the news about Sun Guozhi that Wen Zhili got last time was also obtained by Wen Zhichu. In addition, Chu Fu deliberately wanted to marry his daughter to Wen Zhichu, and he was very interested in Wen Zhichu for a while.
coincided with the reduction of Wen Zhili's power, and the Liu family, the Jiang family, the Xu family, and even the Jian family all had the intention of interfering. Now that the official position of the ministry is vacant, in order to check and balance the forces of all parties, it is not impossible to let Wen Zhichu sit in this position.
So Wen Zhili received a holy decree asking him to bring his brother with him to the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. The person who announced the decree was Yu Qingming, and when he handed the decree to Wen Zhili, he asked with a smile: "How is Lord Wen's health?" ”
"Thank you for your father-in-law's concern, Wen Zhili has been much better, and the dinner must be attended on time." Wen Zhili's voice was gentle.
Yu Qingmingpi smiled and said, "On Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor will feast with Concubine Rong for a hundred officials, and also ask Lord Wen to remind Second Prince Wen not to lose courtesy." ”
"Thank you father-in-law for reminding me." Wen Zhili smiled peacefully, and Yu Qingming took people back to the palace when he saw that his task was completed.
Wen Zhili watched the holy decree come out of his mind, and it seemed that everything was going in the direction he expected. He smiled and said to the people who were still kneeling, "Get up, all." Chunxiao, on Chinese New Year's Eve, remember to prepare a dress for the second master. ”
"Yes, slave understands." Chunxiao lowered her head and answered.
Wen Zhichu knew that he was about to meet the warbler, and he was a little excited for a while. Chu Anning looked at him a little confused, thinking that he was happy because he was going to be an official.
In a lively and cheerful atmosphere, Chinese New Year's Eve has finally arrived. The people of the Wen Mansion got up early in the morning to prepare the ingredients and clean the courtyard. He Luo was giving Wende a hand, counting the items in the warehouse, and Chunxiao was taking his subordinates out to buy things.
On the rare Chinese New Year's Eve, because Wen Zhili and Wen Zhichu had to enter the palace on the evening, the family would gather for lunch. Led by He Luo and Chunxiao, there are many maids waiting on the side.
Qiao'er stood behind the old lady, waiting for her orders. The old lady looked at her grandson and granddaughter-in-law sitting next to her, and said with some emotion for a while: "It would be nice if your father could come back for the New Year." ”
Hearing the old lady say this, Wen Zhili and Wen Zhichu were silent at the same time. Chu Anning didn't care about the embarrassing atmosphere, and asked, "Grandmother, why didn't my father come back for the New Year?" ”
Wen Zhi saw her open-mouthed for the first time, and secretly pulled her sleeve. Chu Anning glanced at him dissatisfiedly and said, "What are you doing to pull me?" I'm just asking. ”
"It's okay, Anning is so straightforward." Because of the Chinese New Year, the old lady didn't want to worry about Chu Anning, "Huan'er, he's afraid of touching the scene." ”
"Touching the scene?" Chu Anning was a little curious, "What the hell is ......?"
Halfway through the words, Wen Zhichu directly picked up a ball and stuffed it into her mouth and said, "Can't you stop your mouth when you eat?" So many asks. ”
Chu Anning glared at him after eating the balls and said, "I just ask, what are you doing so fiercely during the New Year?" ”
Wen Zhichu also seemed to feel that he had passed it, and his tone softened a little and said, "There are some things that shouldn't be asked, so don't ask." ”
"Oh, then you just say no. Don't ask, don't ask, I'm not uncommon to know! Chu Anning glanced at him, and ate by himself.
"Alright, stop arguing." The old lady said and looked around and said, "What about Miss Qin?" ”
"Back to the old lady, Miss Qin is in her own courtyard." Chunxiao replied respectfully.
The old lady nodded and said, "It's a strange thing for the New Year." Chunxiao, you go and invite her over to eat together. ”
