Chapter 499: Mrs. Gu's Work

Zhang Zhensun was deeply moved and said: "People outside only see the infinite scenery of the Metropolitan Governor, how do they know the hard work behind the Metropolitan Governor?" Most of the governors worked hard for the country and the people, and in contrast, the lower officials ...... Alas. ”

Mrs. Song said with a smile: "Your Excellency will do your best in the future, and most of the governors have nothing else to ask for." ”

Zhang Zhensun said cautiously: "Yes, please rest assured, Mrs., I will share the worries of the metropolitan governor." ”

At this time, they had come to the flower hall, Cheng Yue invited everyone to sit down, and had a lively lunch, and Cheng Yue personally sent them out of the house. Turning around and returning to the study, Ding Niang sent a bunch of pieces waiting there.

Cheng Yue cheered up and began to review one by one, and Mrs. Song was constantly busy beside him.

About half an hour later, Cheng Yue felt thirsty and shouted: "Tea!" ”

Soon, a cup of hot tea was delivered to him, and because his footsteps sounded unfamiliar, Cheng Yue couldn't help but look up.

There was no Mrs. Song in front of him, only Mrs. Gu was standing in front of him with a slightly embarrassed face, her face was red, and she was still holding a tea tray in her hand.

Cheng Yue was stunned and asked, "What about Mrs. Song?" ”

Mrs. Gu said: "Just now, the concubine saw her take some music and go out, I don't know who to give it to." ”

Cheng Yue thought about it and said: "Oh, I asked her to give it to Mei'er, there was a flash flood in the north of Fujian, I wrote a rough response, and asked her to find Mei'er to improve one by one, and transfer it to various ministries as soon as possible." After speaking, he glanced at Mrs. Gu strangely and said, "Why are you here?" ”

Mrs. Gu said: "Rou Niang took the concubine to meet a few princesses and ladies, but all the ladies were very busy and didn't say a few words. After Rou Niang helped the concubine arrange a place to live. I went back to work. The concubine saw that the house was busy. Don't dare to sit in the room and do nothing. So I wanted to ask the Metropolitan Governor to arrange something to do for the concubine, and before I could knock on the door when I walked to the door, I happened to hear the Metropolitan Governor asking for tea, and the concubine had no long skills, and she could still serve the Metropolitan Governor, so she ......"

Cheng Yue smiled: "I see, you just arrived in the house, how can there be any reason to let you do things immediately?" Let's go back and rest for a while. Let's talk about it in a few days. ”

Mrs. Gu hurriedly said: "The governor of the capital does not need to be polite, although he ordered the concubine to sit in the room and enjoy the happiness, but others are busy, and the concubine can't do it." ”

Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Okay, I won't fight with you, I'm really too busy these days." So stay with me for the time being, and be at my beck and call. Okay? ”

Mrs. Gu smiled and nodded, "Yes." The concubine stays here. ”

At this time, the afternoon sun was shining on Mrs. Gu's delicate face, the beauty was like jade, and her breath was like an orchid, Cheng Yue couldn't help but be moved, staring at Mrs. Gu's beautiful eyes in a daze.

How could Mrs. Gu not be able to read the man's eyes on her, she instantly felt flustered, and she wanted to escape, but she didn't know where to flee. Fortunately, Cheng Yue immediately withdrew his eyes and concentrated on reading the chapter.

Mrs. Gu breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, found some things that Mrs. Song hadn't had time to clean up, and tried to tidy them up, but a trace of strangeness in her heart was always difficult to eliminate, and occasionally saw Cheng Yue, she still felt uneasy.

After a while, Mrs. Song returned to the study, saw Mrs. Gu bending over to help, and said happily: "Sister Lao, I am too busy these days, and I am the only one who serves the Metropolitan Governor for fear of not taking care of me." ”

Mrs. Gu smiled: "The Metropolitan Governor ...... Let me give my sister a hand, and my sister can just explain to me if she has something. ”

Mrs. Song said: "My sister is doing a good job, I don't need to say it." ”

Cheng Yue didn't raise his head and said: "Mrs. Song, this piece is given to Lilac, and new textbooks must be printed everywhere, you let Lilac determine the quantity, and the price should be as cheap as possible, but the quality of the book should not be sloppy at all." There are also teachers sent to various places, I have drawn up a core list here, you ask the cloves to add more, and then quickly send them out. ”

Mrs. Song took the chapter and said, "Sister, the governor of the capital is handed over to you, and I will be busy." After saying that, he hurriedly left.

Mrs. Gu was full of energy, busy before and after, Cheng Yue had things to hand over to her from time to time, the wonderful thing is that the two were full of tacit understanding, what Cheng Yue said, she understood it as soon as she heard it, and it was done very well, and she was praised by Cheng Yue several times. With Cheng Yue's encouragement, Mrs. Gu worked more and more smoothly.

One afternoon, Mrs. Gu was able to understand what the center of the Great Song Dynasty could be busy, and she saw several high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the yamen, those big people who had never dared to think of it before, were humble and polite to her, and they were respectful in the face of the governors, talking about national affairs, and deciding the fate of millions of people! It was a world she couldn't have imagined!

As the sun was about to set, the backlog on the table had finally been disposed of, but there was still a pile underneath the table. Mrs. Gu was so tired that her back hurt, and after bringing a cup of tea to Cheng Yue, she couldn't hold it anymore, so she sat on the chair and gently rubbed her legs.

Cheng Yue smiled: "How is it?" Not easy, right? Can you still stand it? ”

Mrs. Gu smiled bitterly and said, "Governor, how can you afford to be so busy every day?" Why does it seem that you have to come to the Metropolitan Governor for everything? ”

Cheng Yue gave a thumbs up and said: "You're right, in fact, there are many things that shouldn't be handled by me, but because the law has just begun to be changed, many rules have to be re-established, and the people in the yamen are afraid of making mistakes, so they would rather trouble a little more and let me personally order them to dare to do it." It's human nature, and I can't blame them, and I really should take care of it. It's good to be busy for this time, just like the current Special Economic Zone, I don't need to do everything myself. ”

Mrs. Gu said: "The concubine originally thought that only half of the Analects would be enough to rule the world, but who knew that it was so hard, so why are there so many people who want to fight for the world?" ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "That's because you haven't felt the wonderful taste of power yet." Once it is felt, many people want to seize greater power, people's greed is endless, and the highest power is only one person, so for thousands of years, all kinds of dramas for power and profit have been staged, and the cycle is endless. ”

Mrs. Gu said: "How good will power be? Even if there is a wide world, it is just a bed and a table, isn't it the same to die? ”

Cheng Yue stroked his palms and smiled: "That's good." If the world thinks the same way as you, at least half of the troubles will be lost. ”

Mrs. Gu said shyly: "The concubine is a woman, and she doesn't understand so many truths, so most of the governors laughed. ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "What you said is neither right nor right. For example, if I don't have power, how can I let others go to great lengths to send Rou Niang to me? Without Rou Niang, I wouldn't know you. In fact, it's not just Rou Niang, all my wives know each other like this. These are still secondary, the key is that without power, how can I save the Han people from fire and water? How can you stand up to the Mongols? How can he display his ambitions and reverse the national fortunes of the Great Song Dynasty? In order to accomplish the above goals, I need not only power, but also great power, even power that is not subject to any constraints, and nothing else. Power is not sinful, the difference is only in what you do with it. ”

Mrs. Gu said: "But if a person with a bad mind holds the same power as the Grand Governor, won't the people suffer?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "That's true, so power must be restricted." But that's for later, and it's too early to tell. ”

Mrs. Song came in and said, "Governor, sister, it's time for dinner." ”

Cheng Yue stood up and stretched, and said, "It's been another busy day, let's go eat first, and then we'll be busy in the evening." ”

The food in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was very rich, and Mrs. Gu ate happily, and she even stuffed two small pieces of cake to be satisfied.

After dinner, Cheng Yue walked to the piano and played two piano pieces as usual. The shock in Mrs. Gu's heart was indescribable, and at the end of the day, everything made her feel like she was in a dream. Life here was incomparably new and wonderful for her, and it filled her with a vision for the future, and a great vision that she could not have at her age.

After dinner, when they returned to the study, a man and two women began to be busy again, and the concubines were not idle, and the things that Cheng Yue had to do were to be completed by them, and everyone had to fight at night.

Late at night, after writing the last word, Cheng Yue put down the pen, moved his sore wrist a few times, turned his neck again, let out a long breath, and his mood became happy. Looking left and right, Mrs. Song was half-lying on the bed, already asleep. She has always been by Cheng Yue's side these days, running around, exhausted, and has been trying her best to persevere, but now that Mrs. Gu is by her side, her tense nerves are loosened, fatigue surges, and she soon falls asleep.

Mrs. Gu was also covering her mouth and yawning, Mrs. Song was asleep, she couldn't sleep.

Cheng Yue smiled: "Sleepy, right? That's all for today, you can go back to your room and rest. ”

Mrs. Gu said strongly: "Yes, the concubine will send Mrs. Song back to the room first." ”

Cheng Yue said: "No, let her sleep here, don't alarm her." He got up and walked to the bed, gently picked up Mrs. Song's delicate body, moved it into the bed, and covered her with a quilt.

Mrs. Gu was suddenly scared awake! What's going on? How could the Metropolitan Governor hug Mrs. Song casually? Isn't she the mother of the concubine of the Metropolitan Governor?

Mrs. Song slept soundly, and vaguely felt that someone was hugging him, which could it be if it wasn't Cheng Yue? She subconsciously thought that Mrs. Gu had left early, otherwise Cheng Yue would not have been so close to her, so she muttered: "Official, can you sleep here with a slave for a while before leaving?" The slave hadn't spent the night with the official for a long time. ”

Cheng Yue kissed Mrs. Song deeply on the lips and said, "Okay, I'll sleep with you for a while before leaving." As he spoke, he began to take off Mrs. Song's clothes.

Mrs. Gu looked at everything in front of her in amazement, almost thinking that she was dreaming!

It turns out that Mrs. Song and the Governor of Dadu have this kind of relationship! And what about Mrs. Luo? It must be!

Cheng Yue took off Mrs. Song to only **, her mutton fat and white jade-like skin was extremely charming under the light, and he himself went to bed and got into the quilt, ignoring Mrs. Gu from beginning to end. (To be continued......)
