"Shi Jin is back."

Pei Jinan pretended to be calm, but his eyes could not hide his joy. He walked quickly forward and patted Gu Wei on the shoulder.

"We've been fighting for so long, let grandfather see if you're injured?"

Gu Wei chuckled, "No, Grandfather, don't worry."

"That's good. That's good."

Pei Jinan laughed.

The people around were shocked.

When Pei Jinan was young, he had a reputation for being handsome but not very smart.

Although he is over 60 years old this year, he is still upright and solemn.

He has a high nose bridge and deep eyes. When he looks at people, they are like two deep pools, which are intimidating and make people dare not even think of playing around.

People in the Pei family, even the old lady, were a little afraid of him, not to mention seeing him smile, which was simply like a fairy tale.

Everyone sighed silently in their hearts, it had to be Shi Jin, otherwise who else could have such treatment?

Pei Jinan finished speaking and looked at Xie Ling beside him, his eyes gentle, "Xie Ling is here too, that's great, you guys plan to play for a few days, why don't you stay longer?"

Xie Ling looked at Gu Wei.

Gu Wei immediately replied: "Grandfather, the date of return is not yet determined. I will plan it based on what happens in Sinan."

"Okay. Grandfather still hopes that you will stay for a few more days. The more we see each other in this world, the less we see each other."

Pei Jinan's sudden words made everyone present anxious and their expressions became nervous.

The old lady slapped Pei Jinan's hand, "What are you talking about? How unlucky!"

"I just said it casually. I hope Shi Jin can accompany an old man like me."

Pei Jinan finished speaking and asked Gu Wei some more questions, looking out the door. "The government affairs have not been dealt with yet. You play with your grandmother. I will be back in the evening."

After saying that, Pei Jinan ran away in a hurry.

It was raining outside, but he didn't care and just dived into the rain. He couldn't even hear the servant's voice.

The old lady pointed at his back and said angrily, "Shi Jin, look at your grandfather's behavior. He is busy with government affairs all day long and doesn't care about anything else. He is like a fool."

Gu Wei naturally didn't dare to follow his grandmother in teasing his elders.

He just patted her back gently and said soothingly: "Grandfather is a man of outstanding talent and great strategy. Now that he can finally display his talent, he is naturally happy. Please let him go."

The old lady pursed her lips after hearing this.

He has been married to Pei Jinan for decades.

She naturally knew that his ambitions were difficult to achieve and that he was full of aspirations.

Now that I finally have the opportunity to display my talents, I am naturally very happy and can't wait to immerse myself in it.

The old lady sighed.

"I'm not worried about his health."

Xie Ling winked at her.

"Grandma, I'm a doctor. I can see that grandpa is in good health. It's obviously because he has taken care of Qinghe River so well. There is a saying that goes, 'Don't say it's too late, the sky is still full of clouds.'"

The old lady narrowed her eyes and smiled.

"Girl Ling is still the best to talk to."

In the evening, night falls.

The men of the Pei family had just returned one by one, and women from Beijiang could also become officials, and there were also many girls who went home with them.

Upon learning that Xie Ling had come to Pei Mansion, all the girls were eager to visit her immediately.

This is the idol of all the women in Beijiang!

When Xie Ling found out, she went to meet them immediately.

Chat with them, listen to their understanding of political affairs and their confusion in study, answer their questions and offer their opinions.

Seeing Xie Ling so patient and gentle, without any airs at all.

The girls were deeply moved and their admiration for Xie Ling deepened.

Listening is easy.

It is difficult for a person who stands at the top and knows everything to be willing to listen to people who don’t understand, and communicate with them on an equal footing without mocking or showing off.

On the other side, Gu Wei was also called by his uncle and cousins ​​to have a drink.

We haven't seen each other for a long time, so naturally there are many old things to reminisce about.

More importantly, it is about the development of the work-point system and Gu Wei's prospects for Beijiang.

There was a full moon in the sky and it had just rained, so the air was fresh.

The Pei family sat in the courtyard admiring the moon.

He wore a high hat and a wide belt, and was casual and free-spirited, like a famous scholar.

Pei's uncle even improvised a poem to liven up the atmosphere.

Gu Wei sat in the middle like a star surrounded by stars, raised his glass and took a sip, "Qinghe County has been able to develop to such a grand scale in just one year, and all the uncles and cousins ​​have made great contributions.

I also ask you to share your experiences and write a few political articles so that other provinces in Bac Giang can learn from them.”

Pei Xingjian, the eldest grandson of the Pei family, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll write it when I get home that night. I hope my cousin won't despise my superficial opinion."

"How could that be? It is Shi Jin's fortune to have the guidance of my cousin."

Gu Wei smiled and looked at his elegant and well-behaved cousin.

Pei Xingjian perfectly inherited Pei Jinan's talent and character. He was clean and simple in administration and enjoyed a high reputation in Qinghe and was also well-known in the entire Beijiang River.

Gu Wei is very close to him.

In addition to admiring his character, the most important thing is that he is too much like his older brother Gu Yun.

Gu Yunxiao looks like his mother Pei, and Pei Xingjian looks like his father.

So no matter in temperament or appearance, the two are almost cut from the same mold.

Every time Gu Wei saw him, he would feel dazed.

"Still drinking? I won't go to the county government tomorrow!"

A majestic voice sounded, and everyone suddenly felt a fear rising from the depths of their souls, and they all sat up straight.

Pei Jinan is back.

Even Uncle Pei, who was over 40 years old, was frightened by his majestic father and silently put down his wine glass.

He was the oldest person present, so naturally he had to explain.

He raised his eyes, looked into Pei Jinan's deep eyes, and swallowed, "Father, we are welcoming Shi Jin, just having a few drinks to relax."

Pei Jinan snorted coldly.

"For Shi Jin's sake, I won't punish you today. You should know that the entire Qinghe County, and even the entire Dongzhou, are under your control. You must always pay full attention to me, especially the inspection."

Pei Xingjian gathered his sleeves smoothly.

"promise."

After Pei Jinan finished speaking, he picked up a wine glass, took two sips, and calmly gave orders.

"Keep drinking today. You are not allowed to go back until you have had your fill. This will not happen again!"

Even so, no one present dared to get really drunk.

Pei Xingjian curved his eyes and smiled gently, "Grandfather is teasing us again."

Pei Jinan raised his eyebrows slightly and patted Gu Wei's shoulder.

"Come with me."

Gu Wei frowned.

A heart is hanging high.

He knew that this moment would come sooner or later.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Gu Wei followed Pei Jinan to the study.

Gu Wei secretly discovered that the area around the study had been cleared and it was estimated that not even a mosquito could fly in.

He raised his eyes and looked directly into Pei Jinan's eyes.

The young man's eyes were deep, like an unstoppable sword.
