Chapter 112: Follow-up

Although Bian Lao did not agree to the apprenticeship, Situ Xi still bowed to him and served tea to Bian Lao, and he did not shirk it, and drank the tea with a smile.

Seeing this, Wen Qi'er also learned to give Situ Xi a cup of tea, Situ Xi was a little helpless, but in the end she still accepted her gift, Wen Qi'er was quite happy, she didn't stay in Situ Xi's house for a long time, and soon left happily, going home to inform Wen Lao of the happy event of her successful apprenticeship.

Soon it was time for lunch, Bian Lao got up to say goodbye, and Situ Xi dined with everyone in the family.

In the morning, Zhong Li went back to the Huaiming Mansion, and Li chatted with her for a while, and personally handed her a lot of silver tickets for her to keep in case of emergency.

Zhong Lixuan also heard a lot about the follow-up of yesterday's events from the house, and Situ Xi was trying to understand this, so she told Situ Xi one by one.

First of all, the situation of today's early dynasty, after a three-day break, the ministers already have a lot of things to report to the Chu Emperor, plus to deal with yesterday's ambush, today's morning court has been open for nearly three hours.

Most of this time was spent on negotiating with the Li delegation, although the Chu Emperor had already talked with the envoy surnamed Na Feng yesterday, but it was an informal occasion after all, and the opinion of an envoy did not represent the attitude of the Li State.

At today's morning meeting, the envoys of the state of Li argued with reason, demanded compensation from the Chu Emperor, and demanded that the Chu Emperor investigate the matter within a month and give them a satisfactory explanation.

The ministers of the two sides argued for a long time, and finally the Chu Emperor agreed to the request put forward by the mission, after all, the Chu State was indeed at fault in this matter.

Secondly, the imperial court issued a notice after today's court meeting, Xuanchawu will thoroughly investigate all corners and forces in Xuan'an City in the near future, and will also strictly check the people who enter the city in the future, and even add several more checkpoints at several city gates.

It seems that the big-hearted Chu Emperor finally realized that the safety of Xuan'an City is worrying, but Situ Xi does not think that this can prevent incidents similar to the previous assassinations.

The assassination on Yuxin Street at that time may not have made Situ Xi very clear, but after yesterday's ambush, Situ Xi can be sure that the person behind this plot must be the high-level of Chu State.

can know the relevant information of the spring hunt in advance, and can set up an ambush in advance at the activities carefully prepared by the Chu Emperor and prevent the soldiers from inspecting to find out, if the person behind the scenes does not have a status in the Chu State, Situ Xi will categorically not believe it.

I just don't know what their purpose is for doing this, first Zuo Mingli, then Chen Pu, Chen Zhishu......

Hiss - it seems that they are all royal heirs, both local and foreign.

Situ Xi was stunned, in this way, it seems that he is also a prince, could it be that the next round will be me?

"By the way, Xianggong, I heard from my father that the appointment of the training envoy of the Linwa City regiment has been issued, and it is His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and he will take office in about half a month."

"The Third Prince? What about the crown prince and King Geng? ”

This result was somewhat unexpected by Situ Xi.

"The two highnesses have been punished by His Majesty for some reason, they have been beaten and grounded, and they are not said to be the regimental training envoys, and now they seem to be unable to leave the palace."

The royal affairs are really complicated, but it has nothing to do with him, anyway, when the time comes, he only needs to do his job well after he goes to the deputy position, and it doesn't matter who is in charge of this regiment.

"Also, the eldest lady and the concubine mentioned the matter of the Situ Mansion that Your Majesty gave you before, after all, it is a mansion rewarded by Your Majesty, if we don't move in for a long time...... Even if His Majesty doesn't care too much, there will be some gossip. ”

"I'm measured in this matter." Situ Xi nodded, he had considered this before, but when His Majesty rewarded him, he was in the period of being grounded, and after the ban was lifted, he encountered activities such as the Flower Dynasty Festival for three consecutive days, so he didn't have time to deal with this matter at all.

Glancing up at Chaoyun Chaoyue and the others at the table, seeing that their expressions were a little unnatural from just now, Situ Xi could roughly guess what they were worried about, and after thinking about it, Situ Xi looked at Zhong Lishu.

"Lady, I have something to discuss with you......"

"Young master, someone is visiting, surnamed Zhang, he said that he is the shopkeeper of a sake restaurant."

Without waiting for Situ Xi to finish speaking, Flutter Butterfly walked in from outside, walked to Situ Xi's side and reported to him the news that a guest had come to the door.

……

"It's all about to be done?"

On the street, Qixian is acting as Situ Xi's temporary coachman, and Shopkeeper Zhang and Situ Xi are sitting in the carriage.

Lao Zhangtou came to Situ Xi today to take him to the Jade Wine House to take a look, Situ Xi, as the owner of this new-style restaurant, has not been to the restaurant in person until now, which is a little unreasonable.

"Xige'er, only some details have not been sorted out, with the current situation, even if you want to open tomorrow, there will be no problem."

"How can it be so fast?" Situ Xi was puzzled, it hadn't been a few days, and I am afraid that this little time alone would not be enough for decoration.

"Brother Mo, don't underestimate the power of silver...... Tsk, Brother Fan is really generous. ”

"That's not it, I've heard that it takes a lot of procedures to open a new store in East Market."

"Brother Mo, these are all your own people here, so there's no need to deliberately keep a low profile, aren't you sending someone to help us do these things?" An ambiguous smile appeared on the old man's face.

"Me?" Situ Xi pointed to the tip of his nose, he hadn't put much thought into this restaurant these days, where was there time for someone to help them with the formalities.

"Yes, your brother-in-law also brought some officials to the store that day, it is said that they are all officials on errands near Lezhen Road, he let us recognize each other's faces, and the old man also made a few dishes for them."

It turned out to be Zhong Liyi, Situ Xi instantly understood, remembering that Zhong Liwu mentioned the restaurant to him yesterday, it seems that his father-in-law and brother-in-law really pay attention to themselves all the time.

"Huh-" The seventh string of the car suddenly stopped the horse, and Situ Xi looked around, this should not have reached the destination yet.

"Someone is blocking the road in front, is it an acquaintance?"
