The fog in the water clouds and mountain streams fell earlier in the evening and dissipated later in the morning.

The autumn is stronger, but the autumn chrysanthemums are more colorful.

When the sun rose and the clouds gradually faded, and finally revealed the mountainside where the clouds gathered in the back mountain, Li Chenan and Xiao Wu came to the grave again.

In a blink of an eye, it was already the seventh head of Sun Tiewei.

Zhongli Ruoshui was coming too, but Li Chen'an dissuaded him because the mountain stream was cold and the wind was strong on the mountainside. Zhongli Ruoshui was sick yesterday and had some cough.

The two were suddenly surprised when they stood in front of the grave because there were two plates on the worship platform in front of the grave!

One plate contains the pork tail of sauce.

Another plate also contains the pork tails of sauce!

The two looked at each other, and there was inexplicable surprise in each other's eyes.

"You've been here?"

Xiao Wu shook his head.

"Who else will?"

Xiao Wu still shook his head, he suddenly squatted on the ground, picked up a dead branch, and wrote on the mud in front of the worship platform:

"Grandpa has no friends, I think it's Mrs. Fan from the Marquis of Dingguo's Mansion."

"So few people know about grandpa's favorite pig tails. Apart from the third lady and me, there is roughly the only one in the old lady."

Li Chenan also squatted down, reached out and pinched a pig's tail. It was very elastic, which was just put here shortly.

He got up and looked around, and there was nothing except the amiable white fog and the few birds flying in the white fog.

Dingguo Hou Mansion is a bit far away from here.

If Mrs. Fan had been here, why didn’t she sit in Yunjibi?

He suddenly remembered that there was a plate of pork tails on the stone table in front of Changsun Jinghong two days ago under the crooked tree in the Imperial City Department.

Li Chenan raised his eyebrows and did not ask again.

Xiao Wu wiped the words from the ground, and the two of them put in fragrant wax, burned paper money, knelt down and bowed, and then went down the mountain.

After taking a break in the clouds and gathering in the fields, Li Chenan decided to go to the palace.

Go to the grass-fed Supervision Department, and then go to the Imperial City Department to get to know the seven places. You also need to go to the eight-story building to search through the information about the officials collected by the Imperial City Department.

“Which set is worn?”

Zhongli Ruoshui was a little worried because Li Chen'an had two sets of official robes.

"I still prefer this black. If you want to have a pretty soap, it's better to have a black one."

Zhongli Ruoshui gave him a blank look, took the black robe and put it on Li Chenan, and tied the golden sword that could enter and exit the palace to his waist.

After looking around, Zhongli Ruoshui laughed because she also felt that this blackness was indeed better.

"Just stay in the room, don't blow the wind and get cold."

"Okay...I'll wait for you to come back at home."

"Well, Xiao Wu burned good charcoal. He asked Xueer to make a basin of charcoal fire, but remember that the windows should not be closed tightly."

"Um."

Li Chenan reached out and held Zhongli Ruoshui's shoulder, hugged her into her arms, and after a while he let go.

He turned around and walked out.

...

...

It was almost noon when I arrived at the palace.

He was roughly the last one to come to the palace to attend court.

The huge palace is very quiet.

That made him feel an illusion, would you take a break today?

But when he passed by those yamen, he clearly saw someone inside.

Not only people, but also many whispers.

"The Prime Minister hasn't been here for three more days... Sir, have you gone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see him?"

"Why……"

A voice sighed: "I have been there, but the concierge of the Prime Minister's Mansion said that the Prime Minister is ill and is in bed and recuperating, so it is not suitable to meet guests! What can I do?"

"It's strange that the eldest prince of the emperor has not entered the palace in the past few days... what's wrong with him?"

"Don't guess, he's fine! Master Huang from the Ministry of Works said that he had been to Meiyuan two days ago and wanted to turn all the houses in Meiyuan into something warmer."

"What is a warm room?"

"How can I know? But Lord Huang said that if that thing is made, there will be no chill in the room for twelve hours in the winter."

"Oh, that's a good thing. Sir, the second prince seems to have not gone out in the past few days! Has the direction of the wind changed?"...

"Shut up! Can you think about whether to change or not now?"

"That's not what the officials mean."

"What do you mean?"

"The official thought... it's time for the adults to think about it!"

“…”

Li Chenan raised his eyebrows and walked through many yamen. He heard roughly these words, well, they were all gossiping, and no one was doing serious business.

He originally wanted to go to the Ministry of Revenue for a walk, but after thinking about it, he really had nothing to say with his second uncle, so he gave up and went to the remote area, the Supervision Department, which was forgotten by all the officials.

He didn't know that many heads were poked out from the yamen behind him.

Those people were all wearing his back and his dark clothes.

Suddenly, a surprise sound came from behind: "Look, I said he was going to the Supervision Department rather than the Imperial City Department!"

"You lose, give me money!"

“…”

Li Chenan turned around.

All my heads shrank back at that moment.

He walked towards the Supervisory Office again.

I walked into a courtyard and saw the garden full of dead grass.

The palace in the courtyard is actually not small, with two podiums on the left and right.

It's just that it's really old.

It was old like the old man lying on a chair in front of the hall basking in the sun!

The old man's official robe had been washed white and even had a few patches.

He did not wear an official hat, and his gray hair was not too sparse, just like those withered grass.

Li Chenan walked over with a smile.

Perhaps his shadow blocked the sunshine falling on the old man's face, and the old man's eyes opened a crack and saw the dark clothes.

The old man suddenly opened his eyes wide, and the whole family sat up and stood up quickly.

He bowed and bowed: "Master of the Imperial City Department?"

"There is no one in our Supervisory Office... Who do you want to check?"

"Are you the Chancellor Tang?"

"There is the official."

"Oh, my name is Li Chen'an, the counselor of our Supervisory Office. Speaking of which, you are still my Shangguan!"

Tang Buju was shocked. His old eyes opened wider. His body was slightly hooked, but when he heard it, he hooked more violently.

"I dare not. I have met you, and I have seen you... Lord Xiao Li!"

"I wonder what instructions did Lord Xiao Li say to come?"

Li Chenan waved his hand, "It's okay, after all, I'm also a counselor. Come here to see, you...you keep sleeping."

Tang Buju was startled when he heard this, "Mr. Li... it's not that Xia Guan likes to sleep, but..."

"I know, you should first develop your spirits and you will have work for you in a few days."

"By the way, I'm not familiar with the officials here, but you are an old man from the Supervision Department, you should be familiar with them."

"According to this, I, an official, should not be in charge of so many things, nor can I take care of so many people, but I still have to do something to do when I plan my own affairs."

"In a few days, you will call all the officials who are idle at home. Tomorrow, I will ask Lord Huang from the Ministry of Works to make our place."

"It's brighter and newer... After all, it's necessary to have a new look."

"That's all, you keep sleeping, I'll go to the Imperial City Department."

After Li Chenan said that, he turned around and left.

Tang Buju then straightened his waist and looked at Li Chenan's back.

He suddenly smiled, shook his head, and lay on the chair again.

But instead of closing his eyes, he narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured:

"Winter is not coming, is spring coming?"

He suddenly sighed: "Ah... a newborn calf can't beat a tiger after all!"
