Chu Yu's analysis of the situation in the court did not happen overnight, but he never expected that the emperor would have already secretly extended his hand to their hometown.It feels like there is a sudden extra hand in the throat, which may be strangled at any time.

The balance that had long been tilted in my heart quietly shifted a lot at this moment.

The atmosphere in the room became extremely serious for a moment, Chu Yu frowned, and fell into deep thought without saying a word.

Chu Xi looked at his uncle, then at Wen Fei, and saw the latter blinking at her, so the tension in his heart dissipated a lot.She walked to the table again, poured a cup of tea again, and said to the two: "Uncle, General Wen, please sit down and have a cup of tea first, and then discuss it slowly. This is a major matter and cannot be ignored."

When Wen Fei heard her calling himself "General Wen", he was very alienated, and immediately felt wronged and eagerly looked at her.Unexpectedly, Chu Yu just raised his eyes when he heard Chu Xi's words, and saw Wen Fei's small movements at a glance, and his brows that were already furrowed became even tighter.

Sensing Chu Yu's gaze, Wen Fei quickly restrained his expression, coughed lightly and then turned his expression serious, and said, "Ah Chu said yes, uncle, don't worry, just sit down and think about it slowly."

Chu Yu didn't want to say anything to the two faces of the young man.He sat down in silence for a while, and did not touch the tea that Chu Xi had just poured: "I heard that the general told me so much, are you not afraid that I will leak the news and make His Majesty jealous?"

Wen Fei laughed when he heard this, and he didn't care: "So what if you say it? Let people know that they have a knife hanging over their heads. Wouldn't it be a good shock?" She paused here, picked up Chu Xi and poured it out He took a sip of his tea, and the smile on his face became grim: "Your Majesty wants to clear up the situation and stabilize the court. He always wants to kill a group of people and keep a group of people."

Of course the aristocratic family must be suppressed, and the power must also be withdrawn.But talent is hard to come by now, and the emperor cannot do without a family if he wants to govern the country, otherwise there would be no enough people to fill so many positions in the court.Furthermore, the aristocratic family was originally a product of the times. Even if the emperor supported the poor family now, how could he know that the poor family would not develop into the next aristocratic family in 20 or 30 years?

There is no need to waste time and effort.Therefore, if the emperor wants to solve the current situation, it is best to support some aristocratic families and suppress others.As for who supports who suppresses, it depends on who is more knowledgeable and interesting.

Of course, all of this is just a plan, and it is unknown whether it can be achieved.

Chu Yu thought about gains and losses, and kept judging the respective strengths of the family and the emperor in his heart, wanting to ensure the safety of the family.

Wen Fei didn't rush when he saw this, and went to see Chu Xi secretly, but was glared at by the latter-the topic was a bit far away, but Wen Fei's private break-in in the middle of the night hadn't been revealed yet, so this person Can't be honest? !

As it turns out, no.

Wen Fei hadn't seen Chu Xi for half a month, and he would venture over the wall for a private meeting tonight because he missed her.It's a pity that the luck of the two of them was really not good. They held a small hand and acted coquettishly when they met, and Chu Yu came here before they even had time to say a few words.And the other party was very shrewd, Wen Fei couldn't escape hiding on the beams of the house, so he had to obediently admit defeat in the end.

The little general felt very aggrieved, especially when the topic turned back and forth and turned to the real business, she really felt extremely boring in her heart.Simply taking advantage of Chu Yu's distraction, he flirted with Chu Xi under his nose.

Chu Xi became much calmer, and didn't want to talk to her at all, and was softened by her pitiful eyes.

Fortunately, Chu Yu was really distracted, and his eyes fell on the teacup without any focus, so naturally he didn't notice the small movements of these two people.However, after thinking about it for a long time, he did not give Wen Fei a clear statement. Instead, he revealed the plan of everyone in the family during today's banquet - he came here to find Chu Xi tonight, and it was originally for this matter.

After finishing speaking, Chu Xi's expression was not very good-looking.This has nothing to do with the beauties, but I didn't expect those patriarchs to be so brazen, including family friends of the Chu family, it's really chilling to think about it.

Wen Fei's eyes brightened slightly, and he was a little happy: "Then let's just plan it?"

As soon as these words came out, Wen Fei's foot under the table was stepped on, causing her brows to twitch in pain.Then he looked at Chu Xi aggrievedly, and the latter gave him another blank look.

This time, Chu Yu saw the small actions of the two of them, and couldn't help shaking his head in his heart, which was a little funny.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, which startled all three people in the room.

Chu Yu immediately turned his gaze to Wen Fei, a little harshly.The latter understood immediately, and obediently hid behind the screen with her teacup. Her movements were swift and skillful, making one wonder if it wasn't the first time she had done this.

Fortunately, there is no time to worry about these things at this moment. After Wen Fei hid it, Chu Xi raised his voice and asked, "What's the matter?"

The person who knocked on the door was Yu Dong, who was originally Chu Xi's personal servant girl, but after hearing what Chu Xi said, she pushed the door open without thinking.He was about to go in in a hurry, but when he looked up and saw Chu Yu, he was startled, and immediately stood upright and saluted: "My lord."

Chu Yu raised his eyes and glanced at her, frowning in dissatisfaction: "There are no rules."

Yudong immediately fell to his knees in fright when he heard the words.

The aristocratic family has strict rules, and Yu Dong's behavior of pushing the door into the house without permission is indeed out of order, and he will be punished wherever he puts it.It's just that Chu Xi has been with her master and servant for many years, and she doesn't care much about these things in private, which allowed her to develop such a habit.It's okay that no outsiders saw it, but now that Chu Yu bumped into him, not only Yudong won't be able to please him, but Chu Xi will also be blamed for his lack of discipline.

That's why Chu Yu frowned, so Chu Xi had no choice but to plead guilty, and then asked Yudong, "What happened, such a rush?"

Yudong was sent by Chu Xi to the concierge to ask for a letter before, but after she left, many things happened one after another, and Chu Xi forgot about it for a while.In other words, the answer has been the same for the past few days, and she just took it as a routine question, and didn't have much expectation.

However, Yudong gave her a different answer this time: "The letter from Changzhou arrived, and I lost my sense of propriety in a moment of anxiety."

As soon as these words came out, not only Chu Xi was surprised, but even Chu Yu also stood up: "What did you say? Changzhou's reply has arrived?!"

Yudong flinched, and hurriedly answered yes.It was also her luck that when Chu Yu wrote the letter back to Changzhou, someone sent it privately and quickly, and the reply letter was not sent to the concierge like an ordinary letter.When she went to the concierge to ask for news, the messenger from Changzhou had just arrived, and after running out of breath to rest in the concierge, she heard the news and hurried back to report it.

When Chu Yu heard the affirmative answer, he immediately couldn't sit still—it was useless for him to think about it. Regarding such a big matter as the family's future, it was always up to the family head to decide, and he could at most give an opinion.

It's all right now, Changzhou's reply letter has been delivered, so he doesn't have to suffer any more.

Chu Yu even forgot that Wen Fei was still hiding in the house, so excited he walked out, hurriedly going back to read the letter.

Chu Xi still remembered Wen Fei, but she waited for the reply letter for a long time, and she wished to know her grandfather's decision right away—although she had a guess in her heart, if she guessed wrong and her grandfather didn't intend to join the emperor, then she Her family and Wen Feike were completely on opposite sides, and it became even more difficult for her to do what she wanted to do.

After a moment of hesitation, Chu Yu had already walked away, and Chu Xi worried that Wen Fei would stay behind.

************************************************** ******************

After Chu Yu left, Chu Xi beat Yu Dong a few more words, and then sent him away.

There was no one else in the room, so Wen Fei came out from behind the screen, and said, "A letter from Changzhou? It seems that the Chu family is going to decide to stand in line." After speaking, he looked at Chu Xi: "Ah Chu thought that your grandfather How will you choose?"

Chu Xi's thoughts followed the letter, and she was a little absent-minded at the moment: "How do I know what my grandfather's plan is?"

Wen Fei could see Chu Xi's agitation at the moment. She walked up to Chu Xi and knelt down, held her hand with one hand, and then looked up at her sitting: "I thought that Master Chu was old and prudent, and would make the right decision. choose."

In such a posture, Chu Xi only slightly raised his eyes and looked at her: "Then how does Ah Fei know that your so-called correctness is the Chu family's correctness?"

Wen Fei was silent for a while, knowing in his heart that from the moment he submitted the memorial, the interests of the Chu family were bound to be damaged.From the point of view of the Chu family, there is nothing right or wrong about this matter. There are knives on the left and right, and it just depends on which one stabs harder.Either he was stabbed to death, or he was stabbed and bled, and then died on an uncertain day in the future.

But this is the general trend... The aristocratic family is gradually decaying in comfort, and the emperor is in his prime, courageous, ambitious, full of means and with military power in his hands, Wen Fei does not believe that he will fail.

The two looked at each other for a moment, neither of them said anything more, they just held hands and waited quietly, waiting for Chu Yu to give a result after reading the letter.

The room was silent, save for the occasional "crackling" sound of the candle burning.I don't know how long it has passed, the two people who were waiting for the trial finally heard the sound of footsteps coming from the outside, gradually approaching.

Wen Fei stood up, and just about to turn around to avoid the screen, suddenly changed his mind and stopped, leaned over and kissed Chu Xi lightly on the forehead: "No matter what the result is, you must be mine anyway! "

It was rare for Wen Fei to put down the declaration domineeringly, and Wen Fei turned around and quickly avoided behind the screen.

Chu Xi was startled, and raised her hand to touch her forehead, the soft feeling from just now seemed to remain.But the next moment there was a knock on the door outside the house, her heart froze, she withdrew her hand and regained her composure, then raised her voice, "What's the matter?"

This time, the people outside the door were very polite, and they answered honestly outside the door: "Miss, the adults have something to send."

Chu Xi made up her mind, and went forward to open the door, only to see Chu Yu's entourage standing outside the door.He lowered his head and didn't look sideways. When he saw the door opened, he presented a letter with both hands.

Could it be Changzhou's reply?

Chu Xi was a little surprised, and when he took it, he knew it was wrong, so he dismissed the man calmly.

After closing the door and opening the envelope, what Chu Xi took out was not letter paper, but a scroll of silk.She unfolded it and looked at it word by word, and finally her eyes fell on the seal at the end of the silk book, and her frowning brows finally relaxed.

Wen Fei also came behind her at some point, put his chin on her shoulder, and gently wrapped his arms around her waist: "It's done, ma'am."

Chu Xi blushed and pushed her away: "Who are you calling Madam?!"

The author has something to say: Wen Fei (difficult): If you don’t call me Madam, then... daughter-in-law, wife?
