Mother!Do you want to change your father?

Chapter 58
It turned out that He Zexu had already agreed to come to the banquet, but one of his subordinates had just arrived from the capital, and he didn't know what to say, and his expression was a little bit bad, so he stopped coming.

When Wei Zijun heard this, it is very likely that something happened in the capital, and it was a very serious matter.

Just as he was thinking about whether to arrange for someone to investigate what happened, the yamen servant led a person over.

This person is He Zexu's subordinate, Xiaoan and the others all know him, especially Wei Zijun has a deeper impression of him.

Thirteen years ago, on the bamboo raft, when Cousin He Zexu attacked him, this boy spoke up for her.

Although it has been many years, Wei Zijun is a person who knows how to repay her kindness, and she will always remember people who have kindness to her.

She clearly remembered the scene at that time. Everyone in He Zexu seemed to be afraid of that cousin, but this guy named Zhuo Yan still spoke up.

Even if she ended up with a "tragic death" in the end, it was the result of her own plan.

So, at this moment, even though He Zexu himself was not present, Wei Zijun still didn't dare to speak out, fearing that Zhuo Yan would hear it.

Fortunately, her face was half-covered at that time, and the exposed half of her face also had ugly acne marks.Because of this, Wei Zijun is not worried that Zhuo Yan will recognize him based on his appearance.

"Zhuo Yan met Mrs. Gu, Mr. An, my master asked her to give it to Mrs." Zhuo Yan bowed to Wei Zijun, very respectful.

Wei Zijun reached out to accept the letter, glanced at his son, and Xiao An immediately understood: "Guard Zhuo, please sit down and wait a while. After my wife reads it, I will decide whether I need to reply to your prince."

Zhuo Yan heard the same reason, nodded, but did not sit down.

Xiao Le, who had just rushed into the next door to avoid it, hurriedly ordered someone to prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstone for her mother, and then she and Ruyi pricked up their ears to listen to the situation outside.

Xiao An kept staring at her mother's expression, and found that her mother's expression became more and more solemn after reading the letter, and her heart sank.

However, with outsiders around, it was difficult for him to ask.

After the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were delivered to the table next to Wei Zijun, Xiao An walked over.

Wei Zijun picked up the pen and thought about it, dipped the ink and put the pen down.

"My wife asked, when is your lord planning to leave?" Xiao An waited for her mother to stop writing, picked it up and read.

"Return to madam, it's tomorrow morning." Zhuo Yan replied.

Wei Zijun hesitated for a moment, then wrote again.

Xiao An waited for her mother to stop writing again, and before she picked it up to read, she was taken aback for a moment, looked at her, and then said: "This is my wife's reply letter, so please ask the guard Zhuo to pass it on for you."

Then, he folded the paper in his hand and handed it to Zhuo Yan.

After Zhuo Yan left, brother and sister Xiao Le came out immediately: "Mother, what did you say in the letter?"

"He said that when he returns to Beijing this time, he will try his best to obtain the three cities of Xuzhou as fiefdoms. It would be great if he succeeds, but if he fails, he will have to figure out a way for himself." Wei Zijun's voice was flat .

Ruyi tilted her head: "Mother, what does he mean by this? If he doesn't ask for success, will he not care about it?"

Wei Zijun shook his head lightly, that's all he said in the letter, but what she wants to know now is what happened in the capital.Moreover, she felt that his few short words made her feel very bad, and felt that something was wrong.

So, invite him over to dinner again, and find an opportunity to figure out why.

After all, he is her husband and the father of three children.Even though the family has not been reunited for so many years, even though he has never known the existence of the three children these years, or that she is still alive, even if he has not appeared or been in the 13 years between her and the child, she still hopes that he Live, live well.

Because it wasn't him who caused all this!
For him, Wei Zijun has always blamed himself and felt guilty.

In the inn in the city, He Zexu frowned slightly after hearing Zhuo Yan's reply. Judging by Mrs. Gu's behavior, she shouldn't be invited to the government office for a banquet again!

Could it be because of the letter that was sent just now?She understood what it meant?
So, is it still the same reason as the previous invitation, out of gratitude?

But he is not in the mood to have a feast at all right now!

He Zexu suddenly realized that he was a bit abnormal. It stands to reason that he didn't need to worry about such a situation in the past. He just went, and he didn't want to go.

Tapping the table in front of her with her fingers, she stood up abruptly: "Go, follow me to the banquet."

Until now, He Zexu didn't know why he decided to go to the banquet, and he wasn't in the mood to think about the answer.

Take it as a polite response!

……

In the government office, Xiao An was in charge of the reception. Before the dinner started, Xiao An proposed to play chess, and He Zexu did not object.

Because He Zexu was absent-minded, he lost to Xiaoan in three consecutive rounds.

However, Xiao An didn't seem particularly happy, he felt that he was invincible.

Just as the food was being served, a yamen servant brought water, and Xiao An greeted him, washed his hands, and took a seat.

There were only Wei Zijun, Xiao Le and He Zexu on the table in the hall, and there was another table in the side hall next door, which was used to entertain Zhuo Yan and others, accompanied by two yamen servants.

The dishes at the two tables were exactly the same, and the standard was not lowered because they were subordinates, and the wine was also low.

At the wine table, Xiao Le stood up and poured wine for He Zexu, then said apologetically that Madam has a sore throat and cannot drink, so he came to toast instead of Madam, wishing the prince a smooth journey back.

Naturally, He Zexu couldn't refuse, nodded, took a cup of wine and drank it down.

"My lord, this second cup, thank you, my lord, for not embarrassing me." Xiao Le immediately started the second cup.

There is only one reason for letting him play instead of elder brother, and that is to use his special ability to drink and not get drunk to get dad drunk so that he can find out the reason why he returned to Beijing.

Facing Xiao Le who thought it was Xiao An, He Zexu didn't have any precautions, so he drank the toast.

After seven or eight glasses of wine, I became drunk.

Wei Zijun, who had been eating slowly, noticed that He Zexu was almost done drinking, so he glanced at his son.

Xiao Le received a hint: "My lord, the letter sent by Zhuo's guards today, what the lord said in the letter, if the matter of asking for the fief fails, let the wife figure out the matter of the three cities of Xuzhou, what is the meaning of this?
Does it mean that the affairs here have been handled by others?Or does the prince still support our wife in managing the three cities of Xuzhou?Even if we fight with Anyu country, the prince himself will still not turn against us, become an enemy?

In fact, the matter of the three cities of Xuzhou has been dragged on for so many years. The prince has something to leave, and he can continue talking after the matter is settled. What does it mean once gone and never returned? "

Hearing Xiaole's words, He Zexu shook his head and put down the wine glass with a smile...
