Chapter 637 639. Don’t Promise
Jin Qianqian is now more worried about something else. "It's not a good way to go there. There are mountains all over the place. I need to ask someone so that we can make arrangements early."
Gu Wenheng, "I have already known all this. I will find a chance to visit Lord Cao after I return to Beijing.
Lord Cao was stationed at the border there before, and he is very familiar with the terrain and customs of the people there."
Jin Qianqian glanced at him and asked, "Have you already decided on this?"
Gu Wenheng, "I hadn't decided before, but the places I was given today allowed me to prepare myself mentally."
Jin Qianqian was curious at this time, "Then this place is the most difficult one."
Gu Wenheng nodded, "It may seem so on the surface, but I guess the other seats are not easy to sit in either."
Given Hua Shunming's personality, it is impossible for him to have too much free time.
"Then we really need to bring more people this time. There are not only bandits but also many wild animals over there. We must be fully prepared."
Over the years, she has read some travel guides. Even though she has not been there in person, she has some understanding of that place.
Gu Wenheng, "We will have guards when we go there, and I am also planning to transfer most of the guards in the mansion over there."
When Jin Qianqian heard him speak, she remembered that the Censor had the right to mobilize troops, so it was normal for him to bring some guards with him.
"Then should we send the escort agency's people with us? We haven't set up a branch in Yi Province yet."
Gu Wenheng naturally had no objection. With more people under his command, he would not be constrained when he arrived at the place. "Find some good people to follow. If there is a shortage of manpower in other places, we can recruit some from outside when the time comes."
But those recruited later are definitely not core personnel, and it is impossible for them to come in front of them.
Jin Qianqian, "I finally got a few days off, but now I have to stay on the road for so long.
I wonder when the term of office will end?"
The letter did not provide any details, and I guess even Fu Da’s butler didn’t know.
Gu Wenheng, “Don’t worry, we still need ten days or half a month to prepare to go to Shangjing, so it’s quite flexible, as long as we arrive at the place where we are in office.
The imperial decree has just been issued, which is enough time for us to prepare."
Jin Qianqian, "There's no rush for the stuff, just tell the people below to get it, but we've been back for so long, we still have to maintain our relationships in the capital.
Apart from anything else, some of the good ones will definitely visit each other.”
Also because of these few companies, they can get more accurate and detailed news about Beijing from outside, so these relationships really need to be maintained well and cannot be too far away.
Gu Wenheng, "That's how it should be."
They hadn't talked for long before the Gu family received the news and rushed over.
Everyone's face was filled with joy. They all knew that the seventh brother would be promoted this time, but they didn't expect that he would directly become a third-rank official.
Gu Yuanjin, the eldest brother, said with a smile, "Congratulations, Seventh Brother!"
Others also congratulated him. Gu Wenheng kept saying, "Congratulations! Congratulations!"
Gu Sanbu, who was supported by his children and grandchildren, smiled so hard that his missing teeth were exposed. "Because you left in a hurry before, you happen to be in the clan this time. Let's choose an auspicious day and open the ancestral temple to worship our ancestors.
This is a great thing, and our ancestors should also be happy about it."
Gu Wenheng, "Third Grandfather, the date for my succession has been set, and the journey is long, so I dare not delay any longer.
I came back in a hurry this time, and some families in Beijing have not yet visited each other, so I will leave all the matters of ancestor worship to you, old man."
Gu Sanbu, "Do we have to rush like this?"
Gu Wenheng believed that after today, many people would get the news. If he didn't leave here quickly, he would probably have to socialize again.
"It can't be helped. I thought the transfer order wouldn't come down so quickly.
Some preliminary preparations have to be completed, or I would like to take my family home to rest for a while and fulfill my filial duty to my parents. "
"Then the business is more important. I will ask your brothers to offer sacrifices to the ancestors on your behalf." Gu Sanbu also knew the priorities. "Are you going to let Gu Yi and the others go with you this time?"
Gu Yi is the eldest grandson of Gu Sanbu, and this time he is also among the younger generations that Gu Wenheng specifically named for promotion.
"Let's go together! This way we'll have someone to take care of us on the way. Besides, the time I leave Shangjing has not been decided yet, so we won't be in a rush when the time comes." Gu Wenheng made the decision right away.
Gu Sanbu gave a few more instructions, "Okay, I'll send someone to notify those guys later.
If these guys don't perform well, just send them back, don't make it difficult for the sake of the tribe members' reputation."
Gu Wenheng, "Wenheng will be gone for many years. I will have to trouble the elders to take care of the family affairs. Thank you for your hard work."
"We are all family, so let's not talk behind each other's backs." Gu Sanbu shook his head and said, "You protect the tribe members from the wind and rain outside, and we will help you keep an eye on the family affairs and will not let them hold us back."
Gu Wenheng bowed deeply to the elders, feeling fortunate that although the Gu family had conflicts, at least there were no extremely evil people.
With so many sensible elders watching over him, it saved him a lot of trouble.

Li Cuicui held her two young grandchildren in her arms, reluctant to leave, "I have only been back for a few days, and I have to leave again.
When you come back next time, grandma won’t be able to hold you anymore.”
Liu Liu was also a little reluctant. It was rare for someone to listen to her constant chatter. "This is too sudden. Seventh sister-in-law, if you see anything you need to bring, please tell us. We will help you prepare it as your sisters-in-law."
Jin Qianqian, "Thank you, sisters-in-law. We have almost finished cleaning up.
If I need anything, Manager Hu will help me arrange it.
It's just a family matter, thank you sisters-in-law for your help."
"It's not hard work, this is what we should do." As the eldest sister-in-law, Xie Ruyi naturally had to say something polite, "You should take care of yourselves outside."
As soon as this conversation started, everyone started talking, giving some advice and instructions, and Jin Qianqian responded to them one by one.
Except for the eldest brother, the other brothers all had a child who went out with them. After giving a few instructions, they ran back to help the children pack their bags.
Li Cuicui waited until they all left before she grabbed Jin Qianqian's hand and said, "My nephews are going out with me, so I'll have to trouble you to take care of them from now on.
But if they make mistakes, don't be polite to them, teach them a lesson and beat them up if necessary."
Jin Qianqian smiled and said, "Mom, these husbands have already been arranged. For the future of the children, they will definitely be strict."
This time, there is a child from the second to the fifth room. It is impossible to support people in the clan and ignore their own children.
As their aunt, the most she can do is take care of them in their daily life. Whatever happens to them in the future depends on themselves.
But she was not stupid. She couldn't say these words at this moment, nor could she promise anything.
