Chapter 275 Return to the Capital
Gu Yunyi is destined to be a lucky man in the future. Even in the situation in the original book, he was able to survive and climb to a position above everyone else. Now, the butterfly effect caused by her arrival will not destroy him all at once, right?
Moreover, he is not only He's son, her husband, and Yun Sheng and Yun Mo's elder brother, he is also Zhizhi and Ruirui's father. He should have his own responsibilities.
Only in this way can he shoulder the burden of the family.
"Just be sensible, I won't ask any more questions."
Gu Yunyi hugged the person in his arms tightly, and his warm lips kept falling on her lips, on her face, and on her neck. His voice was hoarse: "Madam, is this okay?"
Xu Qingmeng was so confused and infatuated with Gu Yunyi that her face turned red, but she still nodded in response to his expectation.
…
Xu Qingmeng did not ask what Gu Yunyi had said to Pei Cheng at Lord Kang's house that day.
The next morning, Gu Yunyi took Xu Qingmeng to visit several teachers at the provincial school. These teachers were all teachers at the provincial school and they all admired Gu Yunyi very much.
The gentlemen did not seem too surprised at Xu Qingmeng. After all, the Gu family's hot pot restaurant was so popular that most of them had eaten there before.
But the moment they saw Xu Qingmeng, the gentlemen felt quite amazed. They did not expect that Gu Yunyi's wife was so elegant. They thought she was just from the countryside. How could she be worthy of him?
Now it seems that the gentlemen think that Gu Yunyi is not worthy of the girl. Gu Yunyi has talent, but now he is just an ordinary scholar, and the family still depends on him for the expenses.
However, the two of them did not stay for too long. They just went through the motions. Their main purpose was to leave some impression of Xu Qingmeng around the prefectural school so that no one would remember them.
The two of them did not stay for dinner at any of the gentlemen's homes. They spent the whole morning walking around from one house to another and basically finished their tour.
The two chatted and laughed along the way and soon returned home. It was just time for dinner and the food was already ready, waiting for them.
"I thought you two wouldn't stay for dinner at Mr.'s house, and you came back just in time, so I asked Xinting to stew a chicken. Drink some soup to warm your body. It's cold outside!"
When He saw the two men coming back, she hurriedly pulled Xu Qingmeng in to drink soup. However, she was distressed after they were out for about two hours.
"Mom, I'll go check on Zhizhi and Ruirui first. They've been out for a long time, they must be starving!" Xu Qingmeng said.
"It's not too late to drink some soup first. Mammy has fed you rice soup."
"Uh-huh."
Xu Qingmeng drank a bowl of chicken soup and felt much warmer.
After dinner, Mr. Shen talked with Gu Yunyi and Mr. Pei.
"I won't come over at night."
Gu Yunyi paused and looked at the gentleman in surprise: "Today is only the fourth day of the New Year, the New Year has not yet ended, why is the gentleman..."
Mr. Pei seemed very calm, as if he already knew it.
"Zhang Hanzhe will be here this afternoon. I'll have someone make something for him."
"Just eat at home."
"Yun Yi, Lord Zhang must have something to discuss with you," said Mr. Pei.
Gu Yunyi looked at the two of them and then asked, "Will Mr. Mingri remain the same?"
Mr. Shen shook his head: "No, I have friends coming to visit in the next few days, and I may have to go out."
Gu Yunyi was already worried, and now he was even more nervous, his face became serious.
After all, the last time Mr. Shen said he was going out, he said he would be back in a month or two, but it took a year. Not only did his daughter break off relations with him, but he also became lame in one leg.
Although he didn't know what Mr. Shen had experienced or encountered outside, he was not a fool, and based on what his grandfather had said to him, he knew that Mr. Shen was not what he said to the outside world.
He is a free-spirited person who loves mountains and rivers and does not care about the affairs of the court.
In previous years, even if the gentleman went out, he would stay away for a long time. Now, he has just returned for a short time and he is leaving again?
Gu Yunyi was still quite worried. Now he was no longer the scholar who knew nothing and only knew how to study.
Mr. Shen looked at his worried expression and said with a smile: "Don't worry? It's just visiting a few old friends."
After the gentleman finished speaking, Gu Yunyi breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Sir, I'll let the guards at home go with you. It's freezing cold, and I'm worried about you going out alone."
"I have people to take care of my yard, so just take him with you. Don't worry about it."
"gentlemen……"
No matter what Gu Yunyi said, Mr. Shen did not give in. Even when Mr. Pei spoke on the side, he was unsuccessful in persuading him.
In the end, I had no choice but to give up.
After talking for a while, they went back.
"General Pei, if you leave tomorrow, I won't come to see you off."
"No need to see me off, no need to see me off. I'm leaving now. I don't need you to worry about my grandson anymore."
Mr. Shen nodded, and then the two of them said something else, but their voices were so soft that Gu Yunyi didn't hear it.
After Mr. Shen left, He said, "Mr. Shen is a very capable person, why do you need to worry about him?"
What He said was right, but for some reason, he still felt uneasy.
"Don't worry, your husband is not what you see." said Mr. Pei.
"Grandfather...what does this mean?"
"You just need to know that your husband is not a simple person. Now all you have to do is climb up, and you will know what you should know."
The gentleman has not been in the court for many years, but every time I chat with my grandfather, I feel that it is not the case. My grandfather also respects the gentleman very much.
My grandfather must have known about it, but the two of them refused to let him intervene, which meant that in their eyes, he was not qualified to know about it, either in terms of ability or qualifications.
He is still far from enough.
But he wasn't stupid, and he also had the conversation at Kang's house yesterday...
Gu Yunyi understood that this city was even more unstable than Yan County. In the past, Yan County had the rivalry between County Lieutenant Liu and County Magistrate Huang.
But the provincial capital is different. As the center of an entire state, it is naturally more complicated.
The city camp holds the military power, and soldiers speak with force. In addition, given my uncle's family background, although he has only been transferred here for a short time, he has already established a firm foothold in the camp.
But the political affairs of the provincial capital are indeed different. Prefect Kang is also from Kyoto, but he is still incomparable to the Pei family. Although the officialdom was cleaned up through Pei City, there are various factions in the provincial capital, and it is not that simple.
One place can reflect the entire court, so even if it is just a small city, the fight is not that simple.
Mr. Shen didn’t say it, and Mr. Pei didn’t say it, but he could still feel that Lord Kang and Zhang Hanzhe were not from the same faction.
