In the afternoon, Wen Zifu, who was sorting out official business in the Shuntian Mansion, was summoned by the emperor.

He was a little excited and a little uneasy, and asked the attendant who passed the message for advice: "Father-in-law, the emperor has passed on me ......."

The chamberlain waved his hand: "The miscellaneous family doesn't know the reason, Lord Wen, hurry up and prepare, let's enter the palace, don't let the emperor wait for a long time." ”

Wen Zifu naturally didn't dare to let the emperor wait, so he said a word to Bi Zhi'an and went to the palace.

This is not the first time Wen Zifu has entered the palace.

In that year, he participated in the palace examination, and sat in the temple with the subjects to write policy articles.

After handing in the papers, everyone withdrew together.

Not far away, several nobles walked by, and he only saw a few figures, and those people walked away.

I heard the father-in-law who led the way say that those are princes.

Among them, there is the present who has now ascended to the great treasure.

In other words, apart from that glance at that time, this was the first time Wen Zifu had faced a saint.

In the end, he was born in the Hou Mansion, and he has been in the officialdom for many years, and he knows the rules in his heart, Wen Zifu entered the imperial study and saluted respectfully.

The emperor gave him a seat, first asked the old lady about her body, and then said that Wen Yan and Cheng An had a good relationship, and at the end he also said that Ebony was the first cat in this dynasty.

Wen Zifu even said that he was frightened, and muttered in his heart: The emperor asked him to come here, it can't be these family routines, right?

He and the emperor, the minister and the king, are not close ministers, and what is there to do.

Unless......

Unless it is the matter of Sister Yan and the fourth son.

That's a serious in-law.

Although the fourth prince is still remembered in the Huo family, the emperor will recognize it sooner or later.

He had long known that Sister Yan and the fourth prince were close, and he and Mrs. Gui had pondered it in private, and he was eighty or ninety percent sure of this family business.

But it wasn't until this moment that Wen Zifu suddenly had a real feeling that he wanted to be in-laws with the emperor.

Wen Ziliang is no longer there, as an uncle, Wen Zifu has to be responsible for the future of his niece and nephew.

This feeling did not make him feel proud for a moment, but became more and more cautious.

We can't let that eighty or ninety percent of the certainty be destroyed in his hands.

Otherwise, his sin would be great.

I only heard the emperor say again: "The girls in the house also went to the paddock together, right?" How's it going? ”

Wen Zifu said: "Weichen's two daughters never learned to ride a horse when they were in Lin'an, nor did they do riding clothes, and they went to the paddock to go on a trip, just hoping that they would not sweep away the interest of the princess and the county lord." ”

"Can't ride a horse?" The emperor said, "You still have to learn to ride a horse, and this dynasty also worships literature and martial arts, so you can't detain them just because they are girls." What's more, the Wen family also relied on military exploits to become a marquis, and even if the children didn't know martial arts, they should be able to ride. ”

Wen Zifu hurriedly said: "It's Weichen's negligence, he didn't ask them to learn, and it's not too late to learn now, Weichen will invite them to master when he goes back." ”

The emperor nodded.

After these gossips, he asked about Li Sanjie.

Wen Zifu was like a mirror in his heart.

He is now under Master Bi, and the news is not very well-informed, but it is not "behind the ear", and there are more or less various information.

The position of the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry is vacant, and there are many officials under the Ministry of Industry who are active, wanting to go up, or looking forward to their own peaks.

The seat in the yamen is like this, a radish and a pit.

If the one on the head doesn't go, there is almost no possibility of jumping up at the bottom.

Moreover, when Wen Zifu left Lin'an, Li Zhifu also told him that he wrote an article to Huo Huaiding, and then he had the opportunity to be transferred to the Ministry of Industry.

But Wen Zifu will not say these words to the emperor directly.

The officials set the Li Governor's Mansion, and there must be Huo Huaiding's thrust in it, and Wen Zifu said good things in one go, so it seemed too close.

After thinking about it, Wen Zifu said: "Master Li is very diligent, and over the years, Lin'an Mansion has been generally upward under his rule. ”

He was born in Lin'an Mansion, and he has a few treasures for the affairs in the government.

The old capital of Lin'an City has been prosperous since ancient times, but there are still many places under Lin'an Mansion that need to be developed and developed, and Li Zhifu has worked hard over the years.

Wen Zifu only didn't know that he was going to transfer to the Ministry of Labor, and only talked about his performance in the local area.

There is no need to exaggerate, they themselves are doing a good job.

The emperor touched his beard and smiled: "It sounds like a very motivated and attentive prefect." I was quite reluctant to transfer him away from Lin'an. ”

Wen Zifu lowered his eyes and did not speak.

Seeing this, the emperor didn't ask, signaled Wen Zifu to retreat, and at the same time, he told Gonggong Wu to reward the girls of the Anhou Mansion with a few horses to make riding clothes.

Wen Zifu thanks.

Gonggong Wu went to make arrangements, and when he came in again, he saw that the excerpts of the officials who had been placed on the side of the table had received the folds that had been approved before, and he took the folds and went back to the outer room.

Li Sanjie was transferred to the Ministry of Industry, and the emperor Zhu Zhu was approved.

In the evening, the three girls of the Wen family sat at the stone table in the courtyard, and the cloth was pounced on the table, and paper and ink were prepared on the cloth, discussing making clothes for Bai Yutuan.

This is what Princess Cheng'an requested.

Bai Yutuan was handsome, and the princess was curious about what kind of tricks a cat wore in clothes, so she asked Wen Yan and the three of them to draw a few more drawings for her.

The three sisters got together, and all kinds of ideas popped up as soon as you said a word.

Wen Jing is good at drawing, constantly revising and revising with the pen, and then redrawing after agreeing.

The window of the main house was open, and Mrs. Gui sat on the wooden kang under the window, glancing at the three of them from time to time.

She doesn't like cats, except for Ebony and White Jade.

Ebony is her own five-rank official, and Bai Yutuan is the favorite of Princess Cheng'an.

Making clothes for the princess's pet is a good thing that no one else can turn.

Mrs. Gui's level of family business is average, but her embroidery skills are very outstanding, and she has already thought that if the things embroidered by these three granddaughters are not good enough, she will personally guide and educate.

Lao Qi's daughter-in-law hurriedly trotted from the front to the second entrance, and said, "There is someone in the palace, and it is said that it is a reward." ”

Wen Yan was surprised: "Which palace rewarded it?" Changning Palace? Jingxiu Palace? ”

Lao Qi's daughter-in-law couldn't tell whether the person who came was from Concubine Huo's palace or from Concubine Hui's palace, so she could only shake her head.

Wen Yan raised his voice to call Mama Huang.

Mama Huang explained to a few people to tidy up their appearance, and hurriedly went to the gate to walk back and forth, and said: "The slave and maid recognize it, it is Gonggong Xu in the imperial study, and Gonggong Wu is called uncle." ”

As soon as she heard that it was from the imperial study, Mrs. Gui couldn't sit still, so she hurriedly got down from the wooden kang, urged Mama Liu and Qingzhu to change into decent clothes for her, gathered her hair, and took the Cao family and the girls over together.

Mama Huang had already taken the lead and was talking to Grandpa Xu.

Gonggong Xu raised his eyes and saw Mrs. Gui, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Mrs. Hou is healthy, you look really good." ”

Mrs. Gui said: "I'm old, I regret my life." The youngest grandson is not yet ten years old, but he will not have to live for two more years to see him start a family. ”

"You're going to live a long life." Grandpa Xu laughed.
