Although Mr. Bian did not agree to become a disciple, Situ Xi still performed the apprenticeship ceremony and served tea to Mr. Bian. He did not refuse and drank the tea with a smile.

When Wen Shu'er saw this, she also followed her example and offered Situ Xi a cup of tea. Situ Xi was a little helpless, but in the end he still accepted her gift. Wen Shu'er was very happy. She didn't stay at Situ Xi's house for long and soon left.

She left happily and wanted to go home to inform Mr. Wen of the happy news of her successful apprenticeship.

Soon it was lunch time, Bian Lao stood up and left, and Situ Xi had dinner with everyone in the family.

In the morning, Zhongli returned to Duke Huaiming's Mansion. Li chatted with her for a while and handed her a lot of banknotes in person, asking her to keep them for emergencies.

Zhongli Min also heard a lot about the follow-up to yesterday's incident from her family. Just as Situ Xi wanted to know these, she told Situ Xi one by one.

First of all, there is the situation of today's morning court. After three days of rest, the ministers already have many things to report to Emperor Chu. In addition, they have to deal with yesterday's ambush. Today's morning court lasted for nearly three hours.

Most of the time was spent negotiating with the Li delegation. Although the Emperor of Chu had already talked with the envoy named Na Feng yesterday, it was in an informal setting after all, and the opinions of an envoy could not be determined.

Represents Li’s attitude.

The envoys of Li State argued hard at today's morning meeting, demanding compensation from Emperor Chu, and asked Emperor Chu to investigate the matter within one month and give them a satisfactory explanation.

The ministers from both sides argued for a long time, and finally the Emperor of Chu agreed to the mission's request. After all, the Chu State was indeed in the wrong in this matter.

Secondly, the imperial court issued a notice after today's court meeting. The Xuan Inspector will conduct a thorough inspection of every corner and force in Xuan'an City in the near future. In the future, people entering the city will also be strictly interrogated.

Several more checkpoints have been added at the city gate.

It seems that the arrogant Emperor Chu finally realized that the security situation in Xuan'an City was worrying, but Situ Xi did not think that doing so would prevent incidents similar to the previous assassinations from happening.

At that time, the assassination on Yuxin Street might not have been very clear to Situ Xi, but after yesterday's ambush, Situ Xi could be sure that the person behind the plot must be a senior official of the Chu State.

Being able to know the relevant information about the Spring Hunt in advance, and being able to set up an ambush in advance at the event carefully prepared by the Emperor of Chu without letting the patrolling soldiers discover it, if the person behind this did not have any status in the Chu Kingdom, Situ Xi would definitely

Don't believe it.

I just don’t know why they did this. First it was Zuo Mingli, then Chen Pu, Chen Zhisu...

Hiss - they all seem to be royal heirs, both local and from out of town.

Situ Xi was stunned. It seems that he is also a prince. Could it be that I will be the next round?

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

"Third Prince? Where are the Crown Prince and Prince Geng?"

This result was somewhat beyond Situ Xi's expectation.

"The two highnesses were punished by His Majesty for some unknown reason. They were slapped and banned. Not to mention serving as regimental trainers, it seems that they can't leave the palace now."

The affairs of the royal family are really complicated, but it has nothing to do with him. Anyway, when he takes up the deputy position, he only needs to do his job well. It doesn't matter who is the commander of the regiment.

"Also, I mentioned to my concubine the Situ Mansion that His Majesty gave me before. After all, it is a mansion given by His Majesty. If we don't move in... Even if His Majesty doesn't worry about it, some people will say it.

Some gossip."

"I have a sense of discretion on this matter." Situ Xi nodded. He had considered this before. However, he was in the period of being banned when His Majesty gave the reward. After the ban was lifted, he encountered the Flower Festival and other activities for three consecutive days.

, there is no time to deal with this matter.

He raised his head and glanced at Chaoyun Chaoyue and others at the table. Seeing that their expressions had been a bit unnatural since just now, Situ Xi could roughly guess what they were worried about. After thinking about it, Situ Xi looked at Zhong Li.

serene.

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

"Master, there is someone visiting. His surname is Zhang. He said he is the manager of a sake restaurant."

Before Situ Xi could finish speaking, Pudie walked in from outside, walked up to Situ Xi and reported to him the news that a guest had come to his door.

…

"Is everything almost done?"

On the street, Qixian was acting as Situ Xi's temporary coachman, while shopkeeper Zhang and Situ Xi were sitting in the carriage.

Lao Zhangtou came to see Situ Xi today to take him to the Jade Winery. As the owner of this new style restaurant, Situ Xi has not personally visited the restaurant until now. This is somewhat unreasonable.

.

"Brother Xi, there are only a few details that have not been sorted out. With the current situation, there will be no problem even if you want to open tomorrow."

"How come it's so fast?" Situ Xi was puzzled. It had only been a few days. I'm afraid it wasn't enough time just to decorate.

"Brother Mo, don't underestimate the power of money... Tsk, Brother Fan is really generous with his actions."

"That's not the case. I heard that opening a new store in Dongshi requires a lot of procedures."

"Brother Mo, we are all our own people here, so there is no need to keep a low profile, right? Can't you send someone to help us with these things?" Old Zhangtou had an ambiguous smile on his face.

"Me?" Situ Xi pointed to the tip of his nose. He hadn't put much thought into this restaurant these days, so he had no time to ask someone to help them with the procedures.

"Yes, your brother-in-law brought some officials to the store that day. It is said that they were all officials working near Lezhen Road. He asked us to get to know each other, and I even made a few things for them.

A dish.”

It turned out to be Zhong Liyi. Situ Xi understood instantly. He remembered that Zhong Limei had mentioned the restaurant to him yesterday. It seemed that his father-in-law and brother-in-law were really paying attention to him.

"Uh-" Qixian, who was driving, suddenly stopped the horse. Situ Xi looked around and realized that he had not yet reached his destination.
