The light rain is delicate and the wind is slender, and the willows are green and smoky.

Situ Xi was woken up this morning by the little official who was responsible for "taking care" of his daily life.

The little official's surname is Fu, a single name with a horizontal character, it is said that he was originally on an errand in Xuan'an Mansion, and was later assigned to be responsible for recording Situ Xi's living situation on time.

This little official only comes once every few days, and he occasionally takes some subordinates to patrol the forest, but they are more casual when they work, just wandering around the neighborhood, the last time Situ Xi went out, he saw him drinking with his subordinates when he was on duty, Situ Xi couldn't help but worry about his safety.

Fu Heng had obviously also heard about Situ Xi's recent deeds, in fact, he had discovered that this proton from Zhaoguo was very different from the past, but these things had nothing to do with him, he only needed to complete the errand assigned by his superiors.

He is here to spread the word today, Situ Xi gave birth to a man named Mu Juzheng in Xuan'an Mansion a few days ago, and now all the procedures related to that man have been completed, he can leave the government today, but this still requires Situ Xi to sign and pick up people in person.

Bringing two oil-paper umbrellas, Situ Xi wore a dark robe to travel.

The rain wasn't very heavy in the morning, but it should have been falling for some time, and water splashed under the cyan slabs when you stepped lightly on the side of the road.

The paper umbrella is a great invention, compared with all kinds of complicated rain gear in later generations, this kind of umbrella woven from bamboo and wood and oil paper inscribed with various poems and pictures is more natural beauty, and it seems to be symbiotic with the hazy smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

Last time, the Tuiguan promised to give preferential treatment to Mu Juzheng, and when Situ Xi saw Mu Juzheng in a brand-new robe and full of energy in the mansion this time, he knew that Liu Tuiguan did not break his promise.

"I'm tired of Your Highness again, I didn't expect such a simple thing to be so cumbersome in the Chu State."

Taking the umbrella handed over by Situ Xi, Mu Ju was standing under the eaves at the entrance of Xuan'an Mansion, breathing in the fresh air of the morning, and apologizing to Situ Xi with some embarrassment.

"Let's talk as we go." Waving his hand to him, Situ Xi walked down the steps with an umbrella, and the rain dripped down the umbrella with a dense ticking sound.

Maybe it's still early, or maybe it's raining today, and most of the vendors on the streets are not open.

I remember that there was a small shop selling steamed buns at the turn of this mansion, and it was not open at this time, Situ Xi wanted to buy some breakfast on the way, so it seemed that he could only go to the sake restaurant to find some food, which happened to let Mu Juzheng and Mu Feng get together.

"How did I meet you?"

The two were walking side by side on the wide street at the moment, and Situ Xi chatted with Mu Juzheng to ask him something about their past.

The robe on Mu Juzheng's body is extremely wide, and his own extremely strong figure is hidden in this robe, and at this moment he looks just a slightly taller and burly ordinary man, but the umbrella in his hand is still a little small compared to his body proportions.

"Your Highness just calls a certain 'Juzheng', a certain and His Highness have known His Highness for nearly ten years, at that time, a certain down, and His Highness reached out to help, just like this, there is nothing to say."

Mu Juzheng held an umbrella in one hand, touched the back of his head with his right hand when he spoke, showing a simple appearance, Situ Xi nodded, he just asked, the specific situation is not clear to him anyway.

There is no way to verify what he said, but since there is no abnormality in the procedures of the government office, it means that he is indeed the person who accompanied him into Chu, and his situation in this Chu country is similar to his own, and his position is the same, which means that he is a friend rather than an enemy.

……

"Father!"

took Mu Juzheng to the sake restaurant on Yupan Street, Situ Xi knocked on the door of the store familiarly, and saw Mu Feng helping to wash vegetables in the lobby of the restaurant.

The hard-working child was very excited when he saw Mu Juzheng following Situ Xi, and rushed forward to hug him, but when he got closer, he was worried that the water in his hands would stain his brand-new robe.

He is obviously a righteous son, but his name is "father".

Mu Juzheng just smiled innocently, he touched Mu Feng's head, patted his back again, and didn't speak.

Mu Feng turned around again and bowed to Situ Xi again and again.

These two people are really father and son, but Situ Xi looked at them and was full of doubts, how did this child come together with his own guest and recognize him as a father-in-law.

But this question is not suitable for asking on such an occasion, and Situ Xi remembered what he wanted to ask Mu Feng before.

"Xiaofeng, do you still remember the morning when you came to look for me, you were quite embarrassed at the time, and even fainted from exhaustion, but according to what you said, you should not have been stopped when you entered the city, why did you look like that day?"

"Sir, on that day I met two officials on the way, and they seemed to regard me as a beggar and wanted to expel me, but I was anxious to find you, so I hid all the way and ran away......"

The city is expelling beggars? Why is that?

"Xige'er, you came at the right time, we already have some eyebrows about the so-called cake, please give me some advice."

Hearing the familiar voice of Situ Xi, who had been thinking about it day and night, Shopkeeper Zhang hurriedly ran out of the back kitchen, with a happy smile on his face at the moment, it turned out that there was a new breakthrough in the production of cakes.

"Xige'er, not only made that cake, Yu'er bought some dates on a whim the day before yesterday and came back, according to the method you gave to make the cake, we added some broken dates, and the new pastry made was even more delicious and sweet, I remember you said that Ling Zheng especially loves sweets, so I have to bring some back to her."

Add some dates to it? Listening to the shopkeeper's words, Situ Xi's eyes lit up, this Zhang Yuer was indeed ingenious, and she actually figured out the jujube cake by herself.

Hanging the umbrella in his hand on the door of the store, Situ Xi stepped into the store, wanting to taste the taste of the newly made jujube cake first.

"Shopkeeper, can you get a pot of wine?" Mu Juzheng, who was accompanying Situ Xi, also said the first words after he entered the store.
