After three days, it finally came to fruition.

Chen Shangshu of the household department was dismissed from his job and ransacked his home because of his incompetence in handling errands, and his family ransacked.

On the second day, the newly appointed Hubu Shangshu appeared in the court.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the new Hubu Shangshu. This was obviously Prime Minister You's retainer, and he actually took over the position of Hubu Shangshu under Prime Minister Zuo's command.

This is just hanging a sling under Prime Minister Zuo's neck.

Prime Minister Zuo was still standing at the head of the left side with benevolent eyebrows and good-natured eyes, with no abnormal expression, even smiling and nodding when the emperor announced the new Minister of the Household Department. Is this... tacit approval?

The situation in the court is really unpredictable.

Finally, the cold February has passed, and spring is coming.

Spring is a season of revival of all things. All kinds of grass grow and warblers fly, and the spring is full of spring. It is still very good to go out for a walk in the green and enjoy the spring flowers in your free time.

After seeing off his drinking buddy Chen Shangshu for many years, Lieutenant Li was depressed for a long time. He didn't go out to drink flower wine for half a month, and he couldn't lift his spirits all day long.

Unexpectedly, when he was asleep, Mrs. Li quietly invited a doctor to feel his pulse, to see if he had some hidden disease and kept it from herself.

The doctor finished his pulse, looked at Lieutenant Li, who was sleeping ugly, and said with a smile: "Madam, there is no need to worry. Your Excellency may be a little tired recently, and you have depression in your heart. It's not a big problem. Just take a few doses of regulating medicine and you'll be fine. If you think about it sooner, Madam can take you out to relax, the stagnation will dissipate, and the disease will be gone."

Recently, Mrs. Li heard that Adjutant Li kept calling Chen Shangshu in his sleep. She knew that Adjutant Li was unhappy because of Chen Shangshu, so she was a little relieved.

Thinking that Lang Zhong said that going out to relax would relieve depression, Madam Li took two maids to the White Mansion at dawn.

Different from the rampage last time, Mrs. Li knocked on the door dutifully this time, and waited for the pass to pass before she straightened her appearance and walked in.

In the yard, Bai Lan was watering a winter jasmine with a watering can, and vaguely saw Mrs. Li's majestic figure, the water from the can was directly sprinkled on her feet.

Like a hen protecting its cubs, Bailan spread her arms across the floor in front of Mrs. Li, "What are you doing here again! Does your man drink flower wine? Does it have anything to do with my lord? Don't worry about your man running away!" Let me tell you, my family is thin-skinned, I am embarrassed to scold you, but I am shameless, if you don’t accept it, we can go to the street and scold you. Your last name!"

Mrs. Li pursed her lips, and said softly to Bai Lan: "Brother, you misunderstood, I have something to ask Bai Shangshu this time. Last time I was blindfolded by lard, and I forgot what I was. It's my fault to come here to act wildly. Little brother, don't be angry, take me to see Bai Shangshu, I'll salute you now." As he spoke, he bent his legs and saluted.

Bai Lan hurriedly jumped aside, dodging the big gift, scratched the back of her head, and said to herself: "What's the wind, you're so polite."

"Mrs. Li, come in and talk." Behind him, Bai Yuhui, who was already sitting in the hall, called softly.

Mrs. Li led the two maids to the hall, and ordered the maids to put the food box in their hands on the small table, and stood in the hall to wipe their tears before sitting down.

Bailan hurriedly moved the armchair on one side forward, and pushed it behind Mrs. Li.

Wiping the corners of her eyes, Mrs. Li said to Bai Yuhui, "I'm a rough person. I offended you last time, so I shouldn't have stepped into your house again. But I feel sorry for my husband, and I can only bother him because of him." For once, my lord, please help me to be my lord for the sake of being acquainted with my lord in the past."

"What happened to Lieutenant Li?" Bai Yuhui asked in confusion.

Since Chen Shangshu returned to his hometown, Adjutant Li had been sick at home, so he hadn't seen Adjutant Li for a long time.

"Recently, he doesn't think about tea and food, and he sighs all day long. Seeing that he has lost weight so well, I feel anxious. Last night I asked the doctor to feel his pulse while he was fast asleep. It's the depression in my heart. I guess it must be Chen Shangshu's departure, which made him get into a dead end, and I can't make it with myself."

Bai Yuhui understood, and asked, "What can I help?"

Mrs. Li raised her big watery eyes and said gratefully, "My lord, don't you care about my recklessness before? I knew that you, my lord, can pull a boat. I'm not doing this for anything else, please I can make an appointment with my family to relax. Even... Even if it's drinking flower wine, I will never make trouble."

Bai Yuhui raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at this unattractive woman again.

With a big face, bucket waist, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and fierce eyes, she really has nothing to do with the word "beauty".

But after saying these words, Bai Yuhui found her a little more pleasing to the eye.

Seeing that Mrs. Li's nose was about to flow from crying, Bai Lan hurriedly cleaned the handkerchief and handed it to her.

Mrs. Li didn't hesitate, she took the veil and wiped her face, covered her nose with a snort, wiped all the snot on the veil, and returned it to Bailan.

Holding up the handkerchief, Bai Lan cast a look at Bai Yuhui asking for help.

Bai Yuhui smiled and said: "It's a small matter, Mrs. Li will go back to the house first, and when I take a rest tomorrow, I will visit."

Mrs. Li hurriedly saluted, turned around to the door, turned back when she remembered something, pointed to the two food boxes and said, "Of course I can't empty-handedly make amends, and I don't know what Bai Shangshu likes. It’s the scallion pancakes and some vegetarian buns that I personally baked in the morning, please don’t be disgusted with it, Mr. Shang Shu, and try it reluctantly.”

Looking at the back of Mrs. Li going away, Bailan let out a long sigh of relief: "Master, is the meal cooked by Mrs. Li safe to eat?"

He was still holding the snot-filled handkerchief in his hand, ready to throw it away when he went out.

Seeing those two simple and elegant food boxes, I was a little afraid that the things inside were not much better than the handkerchief in my hand.

Bai Yuhui smiled and said, "Do you know why Lieutenant Li married this Mrs. Li?"

"Anyway, it can't be because it's beautiful like a flower, right? Could it be..." Bailan shifted her gaze to the food box again, rekindling her interest.

If it's not for beauty, then it's for food.

After a while, Bailan was sitting at the door with the third vegetarian bun, eating it with great interest.

The chopped scallion in the pancake was still hanging from the corner of his mouth, and Bai Lan didn't care to wipe it off. While stuffing the white and soft bun into his mouth, he said, "Master, don't tell me, Mrs. Li's craftsmanship is really not for bragging. Look at us. On the snack street at the entrance, there is something more delicious than this bun, I have never eaten it before."

Bai Yuhui leaned against the door frame, teasingly said: "Remember to wash the handkerchief after eating, maybe you can use it next time."

Bai Lan's mouth was full of fragrant buns, and his face was full of happiness. He didn't care about the previous dislike, and nodded his head like smashing garlic.

Isn't it just a snot mask, if such delicious buns are delivered every day, he is willing to wipe Mrs. Li's nose every day.

It seems that they have avenged the old Shangshu, and the court has been extraordinarily calm these few days.

For the first time, the two prime ministers did not confront each other, and everything seemed to be a scene of prosperity and peace.

Bai Yuhui was busy with the things in his hands step by step, and went to the punishment department at noon.

Qi Shangshu's mansion, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, is far away from the place where he works, so at noon, he reads a book or takes a nap in the office, and does not go back to the mansion.

At this time, apart from the guards at the gate and the prisoners in the prison, there was only Qi Shangshu in the entire punishment department.

Bai Yuhui brought two side dishes and walked in through the door.

When Qi Shangshu saw the person coming, a forced smile appeared on his tired face, "Why are you here? What's the matter?"

Bai Yuhui put the side dishes on the table and took out a jug of fruit wine from his pocket.

"Did you still bring wine with you during the shift?" Qi Shangshu asked with a puzzled smile.

"I dare not. I sent someone out of the palace to buy this half an hour ago. Knowing that you are tired recently, I came here to talk to you. This is fruit wine, and it is very shallow. Drinking less will not affect your afternoon work. .”

Qi Shangshu heaved a long sigh, and drank what Bai Yuhui handed over to him in one gulp.

Bai Yuhui didn't stop him, and immediately filled him up again.

"You said my cousin, why did you just..." Before he finished speaking, the glass was empty again.

Bai Yuhui didn't continue pouring wine for him this time, but pushed the side dish towards Qi Shangshu, and said slowly: "Actually, we all know that sooner or later we will end up like this, it's just one day sooner or later. Sentimental spring and autumn work Otherwise, you and I would not be able to sit where we are today."

"I know." Qi Shangshu filled a cup for himself, held it on his fingertips and measured it carefully.

"Chen Shangshu's return to his hometown is not a bad thing. The court is changing, and every step of the way is frightening. Now that you can let him return to his hometown alive, it is considered comprehensive. Who can guarantee whether we will be able to escape safely in the future? So, we should be happy for Chen Shangshu."

"Oh, I'm happy." Qi Shangshu took another drink, and said angrily: "I don't know which villain who suffered a thousand knives tripped secretly. My cousin's knee is considered useless. I'm afraid that in the future, there will be no such thing as us." Thinking so carefree. That’s all, I’m still alive.” As if accepting his fate, Qi Shangshu put the wine glass heavily on the table, and patted Bai Yuhui’s shoulder: “I don’t think the new Jin Zhang’s affairs are very simple. Be careful."

"Well, it's not easy."

Two spring swallows flew outside the door, chattering around the eaves, it seemed that they were preparing to settle down.

It's great that Chunyan holds mud in her mouth and is home everywhere.

On March [-]th, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly.

One mile outside the capital city, there is a peach grove, which is a good place to enjoy flowers during this season.

This year's spring came a little later, so in the peach blossom forest at this time, only a few peach blossoms are in full bloom, and most of them are still hanging with half-open buds, swaying in the wind on the branches.

Even so, it has attracted many literati and inkmen to come to enjoy the flowers.

Bai Yuhui took a rest today and went to Li's Mansion early in the morning, pulled the drowsy Adjutant Li up from the bed, stuffed him into the carriage and drove him to the Peach Blossom Forest.

Bai Yuhui thought about inviting Mrs. Li to follow him just now, and Mrs. Li's look of wanting to follow but afraid of spoiling their elegance, he couldn't help looking sideways at Adjutant Li who was standing under the tree in a daze.

Bai Yuhui was inexplicably envious.
