A few days later, the morning dynasty dispersed, Lu Yuanze did not stay in the palace, hurried to the Ministry of Industry Bureau, the coachman saw that he was in a hurry, so he consciously sped up, to the outside of the official office, but he was not in a hurry, got off the carriage, walked in, and asked the manager of the department: "Someone came earlier?"

The steward replied, "Your Excellency has not yet arrived, but you are the first...... Oh, no, the little fool, someone came, but it was a woman, and she came here with your letter of recommendation, and said that she was here to serve as a counselor, and the little one thought it was strange, but seeing that the letter she was holding was indeed in the handwriting of an adult, she had to let her in, I don't know ......"

He asked, "Where is she?"

"The back court pattern fortification room. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Lu Yuanze walked to the most remote and inconspicuous house at the back of the official office, and after walking for a while, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he turned his head and looked at the steward: "It's just an ordinary recruitment of counselors into the ministry, you can't wait for the rumors to spread nonsense." ”

The steward understood and nodded in agreement. He continued to move forward, walked to the outside of the fortification room, and saw that the door of the room was wide open, and the surroundings were silent, and inside the door, a woman in a green dress and cloth skirt, with a large back, stood between many easels, facing the main wall of the hall with her hands behind her back, in front of her, was magnified dozens of times and almost occupied a wall of the Guanghe Palace architectural pattern, she stood quietly, in the place where she should not have appeared, quietly looking at her work.

"Qingning ......" he withdrew from the others, walked into the fortification, and called her.

She turned her head when she heard the voice, with a faint smile on her face, Lu Yuanze was suddenly a little speechless, a little confused. She walked up to him and asked, "What's wrong with you? What's that expression?"

Lu Yuanze shook his head and said, "Oh, it's nothing, it's just that I was in a trance for a moment just now, and I suddenly felt ...... I don't think I've ever seen you so happy......"

She didn't stop, getting closer and closer to him, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, how can you feel this way?"

"I don't know. He also laughed at himself for being stupid: "It's a delusion, I know that even if you're really happy, you won't let me see it." ”

Gu Qingning stopped, and there was a step between the two.

"But you can still see it......" The words rang in her heart, but she didn't say them, and what she said was: "This is the first time we've met since your wedding, how is it?

"Are you asking the county lord?" he smiled awkwardly and replied: "She is very good, everything is good, very simple, after all, she is only eighteen years old, full of heart, but her temper is a little big, and she will be angry when I go back later every day...... But it's the most intimate with Yuansi......"

She said: "After all, he is only twenty-eight Fanghua, and he is the only pearl in the palm of King Jinxuan, so it is natural for him to have a big temper." As for falling in love with the second lady, it's not surprising. ”

Although Gu Qingning was very indifferent, Lu Yuanze couldn't bear to talk to her about this kind of topic, and said: "Qingning, although you are already in the Ministry of Industry at the moment, I can't help you anymore, you also know that all kinds of things that women will suffer when they enter the official office can only be resolved by yourself from now on, you and I can't have an intersection in front of others, and the most important thing is that I can't let my father or my family know that I recommended you to the Ministry of Industry, do you understand?"

She nodded and raised her eyebrows: "I naturally know." ”

Lu Yuanze glanced at the drawings on the wall, and vaguely heard the voices of people in the front court, so he knew that his colleagues had arrived at the office, and asked, "Is this difficult...... Do you really want to do this?"

Gu Qingning was a little surprised that he would ask himself this question, and replied decisively: "I'm sure, no matter how difficult it is, I'm not afraid." ”

He thought for a while and said, "When you enter the fortifications, I have already greeted Liang Zhengqing, the deacon of the construction works, he is a smart person, and he will definitely not ask more, but I am worried now, the supervisors who are in charge of the fortifications...... They will come back to me and ask me why, and I am afraid that today will be restless......"

Gu Qingning said straightly: "If you don't see them today, after a while, they will get used to seeing me, and they won't make trouble." ”

He waved his hand anxiously: "Qingning, at this juncture, are you still joking? I'm in the official office, how can I avoid them?"

"I mean, if you don't have to be here these days, they won't be able to make trouble in front of you, so why don't you go home and avoid it for a few days? She said.

Lu Yuanze felt that the more she said, the more ridiculous she became, "No, no!"

"Are you afraid that I have a secret plan here? You don't feel at ease with me, do you want to guard against me?" she asked with a smile as she approached him.

Seeing at a glance that she was worried, Lu Yuanze said embarrassedly: "Qingning, don't think about it, I'm just afraid that you will be excluded here and isolated......

The two were already close at hand, Gu Qingning looked at him deeply, suddenly lifted his toes, climbed on his shoulders, and kissed him the neck. Lu Yuanze's whole person trembled, for fear that someone would come to see him, and his face turned red unexpectedly.

Gu Qingning quickly let go of him, he was still sluggish, she reached out and touched the marks she left on his neck, and motioned him to take a look at the bright copper board next to him, he immediately saw an extremely obvious dark kiss mark on his neck, no matter how he rubbed it, he couldn't rub it off, at this time, the movement outside was getting bigger and bigger, and the counselors were about to come, he was really angry, "You are really crazy!"

Gu Qingning smiled evilly: "I still remember when I was eighteen years old, I had this kind of mark on my neck for the first time, and I couldn't get it off, so I was so scared that I didn't dare to go home, but fortunately, you bought a fox fur scarf for me to block it." But at this time, it is not yet the middle of winter, and I am afraid that you will not be able to count on it with a scarf, so it is better to find a place to avoid it for a few days, my squire, no, it is the county horse. ”

Lu Yuanze was angry again, covered his neck and walked quickly, not daring to go to the vestibule, sneaking out directly from the back door of the official office on a small road, and when he arrived in front of the person, he inevitably met someone he knew, and asked him, he could only say that he had some abrasions on his neck, and he didn't dare to go back to Xiangguo's mansion to be questioned by his family, so he came up with an idea in the carriage, and asked his entourage to inform his family and ministry that he had an urgent matter to go out, and he went to the inn to avoid it, and then find another way.

After he left, Gu Qingning's independent fortification room, facing the gate, stood upright, looking at the subordinates at the bottom of the Ministry of Works, the counselors who participated in the refinement of the drawings walked here in groups and rushed to her.

She knew that she was going to become one of them, and this first step, she walked out, she did not become the bride of the first door, she did not become a good wife and mother in the high-walled garden, she did not be in the embroidery pavilion boudoir......

But here, in the most unnoticeable position in this officialdom, she gained a foothold and moved forward, becoming herself, the only Gu Qingning in the world.

The subordinates of the Ministry of Industry have taken their positions and started their busy day's official duties. The most surprising thing for all the people in the backyard fortification room today is that they arrived at the office early in the morning and saw the woman here.

These counselors are all temporary, not even official members of the Ministry of Industry, no official or rank, and some are just the possibility of becoming official officials, but they all think highly of themselves, and they surround Gu Qingning and ask questions in every way.

Gu Qingning didn't want to talk to them too much, and just wanted to move out of the rhetoric he had prepared earlier to deal with them, but he heard someone outside the fortification room speak in a stern tone, and reprimanded: "What are you doing one by one?
