After tossing for a long time, he finally dressed up, and Wen Zhichu was waiting in the yard. Seeing Chu Anning coming out, he said "Let's go" to her, and Chu Anning hurriedly followed.

When he came out of the yard, he saw Chunxiao trotting, and Wen Zhichu shouted: "Chunxiao, don't you send your second master?" ”

Chunxiao stopped, saluted Wen Zhichu and said, "Second master, be careful on the road." ”

Then he trotted in the direction of the warehouse, and saw that Wen Zhichu shook his head, saying that they were so unconscionable at the end of the year. When the two arrived at the door, Wen Zhili was waiting at the door.

Winder stood there, and the two seemed to be talking something. Seeing Wen Zhichu and them coming out, Wen Zhili nodded. On the side was Lu Yu, who was standing on the side of the carriage, and seemed to be waiting for them.

Wen Zhichu looked around and said: "At the end of this year, I can't even see the shadow of Heluo?" ”

"Now is the busiest time for her, if you bother her, I'm afraid I won't really beat you." Wen Zhili smiled slightly.

It happened that He Luo came over with a few account books, and after seeing the three of them, he saluted and said, "Slave and maid to the master, the second master, and the second lady please be safe." ”

Please Wan'an didn't look at them, and said directly to Wende: "Butler, the accounts in the master's yard are almost settled, and the inventory of the treasury is still missing, and I will send it over tomorrow." ”

"Okay, you take these ledgers to the account room, and we will have to reconcile them in two days." Winder's tone was serious.

After Chu Anning heard the reconciliation, he said timidly: "That, housekeeper, He Luo, the reconciliation you said has nothing to do with me, right?" ”

Hearing her ask, He Luo and the housekeeper were silent for a while, and then the housekeeper said, "Back to the second lady's words, the old slave knows his mistake." This account should have been done by Mrs., but Chunxiao did it in previous years, so that she forgot to inform the second lady. I also hope that the second lady will forgive her sins. ”

Chu Anning realized a problem at this time, does she count this as lifting a stone to shoot herself in the foot? Obviously, the housekeeper forgot about it, but she reminded her so much, and now she really wants to tear her mouth apart.

He Luo laughed, and she said to Chu Anning: "It turns out that the second lady still likes to reconcile? ”

Chu Anning waved his hand and said, "I don't like it, I don't want to go." ”

He Luo cleared his throat and said, "Second lady, this is the rule of the Wen Mansion, you can't break the rules, right?" ”

Chu Anning's little face collapsed suddenly, but He Luo was in a very good mood. Winder patted her on the head and said, "Don't be skinny, go and do something." ”

He Luo responded with a "yes" and said to Chu Anning: "Second lady, see you in the account room in two days." He stole another glance at Wen Zhili, and found that his eyes were full of smiles when he looked at him. With a sweet heart, he trotted away.

"Second lady, this girl doesn't understand the rules, don't take it to heart." Wende explained with a smile, and after speaking, he saluted again, "The old slave sends the eldest son, the second son, and the second lady." ”

After the three of them got into the carriage, Lu Yu drove towards the palace. Wende looked at the carriage in the distance, shook his head and said, "It's a new year again, it's so fast." ”

The carriage was not moving slowly, Wen Zhili leaned against the wall of the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate, Wen Zhichubai was bored and played with his jade wrench, Chu Anning saw that the two of them had no intention of speaking, so they had to be quiet.

Finally arriving at the palace, Wen Zhili's eyes opened, looked at Chu Anning and said, "You be careful in everything, this may be the Hongmen Banquet." ”

Chu Anning didn't seem to expect him to say this, and froze in place for a while. Wen Zhili asked the two to get out of the carriage first, he called Lu Yu into the carriage and said something, and Lu Yu came out with a serious expression after a while.

After Wen Zhili got out of the car, he bowed slightly to Lu Yu, and Lu Yu understood. So he walked to Wen Zhichu and Chu Anning and said, "Let's go, don't go in too late." ”

The three of them followed the eunuch on the palace road, and happened to see Liu Moxing in front, and Fu Chuanming and his wife were standing next to him. There are also Zhen Xueyi and his wife next to Jian Bo and his wife, Ye Rin walked with Jiang Lin and his wife with a stinky face. Zhang Ruoling was chatting with several other ministers, and her wife was also with other female dependents.

Wen Zhili took a general look, and combined with what happened in Beijing reported by Wen Zhichu, it is not difficult to guess what the current situation looks like. The one who caused this situation should be the little emperor and the ministers around him.

Wen Zhichu wanted to ask Wen Zhili the meaning of what he said just now, but he was worried that there would be too many people. Chu Anning grabbed Wen Zhichu's clothes a little nervously, and Wen Zhichu whispered, "Don't be afraid." ”

Wen Zhili passed by Liu Moxing's side, and when Liu Moxing saw Chu Anning, he understood something, he made a mouth shape to Wen Zhili, Wen Zhichu could see it clearly, and it was the three words "Hongmen Banquet".

Chu Anning was frightened enough by the atmosphere between these ministers, no wonder Chu Fu always didn't like to bring her to this kind of occasion, it was really uncomfortable. She didn't know what to do, so she could only hold on to Wen Zhichu's clothes tightly and tell herself, "Don't be afraid."

Don't be afraid, Wen Zhili here, Wen Zhichu, Jiang Lin is also her father's old subordinate, she will be fine.

Everyone arrived at the banquet hall, and some people had already arrived first and sat in their seats. Except for Wen Zhili and Liu Moxing, as well as some unmarried ministers, everyone else brought their wives.

After Chu Anning sat down, the whole person was trembling, this atmosphere was so depressing, so terrifying. Wen Zhichu poured her a glass of water and said, "Don't be afraid, when I came to this kind of banquet for the first time, I also felt uncomfortable. ”

All the ministers were chatting nonsense without saying a word, Jiang Heng looked at Liu Moxing's eyes with hatred, but the latter drank calmly. Wen Zhili looked at the table in front of him in a daze, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.

It wasn't until the eunuch said "The emperor has arrived" that Wen Zhili saw the emperor's side clearly that he understood what was going on. He secretly screamed in his heart that the emperor brought Yingying to not because of favor, but a temptation or demonstration.

After Yingying saw Wen Zhili, she made a mouth shape and looked at the child again. Wen Zhili saw that her mouth shape seemed to say "chu", but he didn't know what it meant.

Yingying breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Wen Zhili receive the signal, after all, it was not difficult to guess what Wen Zhili meant with Wen Zhili's intelligence.
