As soon as Gu Ming finished taking a bath, Lord Taishan came with a small jar of wine as if he had pinched the time.

As soon as the person arrived, he first asked with concern, "The virtuous son-in-law is not injured, is he?" ”

"No, my father-in-law, please take a seat."

"Great, this Guobei County's confidant has finally been cleared, and this is all thanks to the virtuous son-in-law......"

Gu Ming waved his hand modestly: "Father-in-law, the son-in-law didn't dare to take credit, and with the help of a few masters, he was able to completely kill the old demon." ”

Nie Hongshu couldn't help but groan: "That...... So how do you report to your superiors? Do you want to report the names of those masters together and let the court commend them? ”

"No, they don't like to deal with the imperial court, the father-in-law doesn't have to worry about this, the son-in-law treats them in private.

As for the top...... The father-in-law didn't need to mention his name, but said that there were a few hidden masters who destroyed the old demon of Montenegro. ”

When the conversation was almost over, Yu'er set the wine table one by one.

"Huh? Yu'er, this girl is a little wrong today, huh? How? Got something on your mind? ”

Nie Hongshu saw that Yu'er looked preoccupied, not as cheerful and lively as in the past, so he subconsciously asked.

"No, no, thank you for your concern."

Yu'er hurriedly waved her hand.

It's no wonder, but I don't dare to admit it.

Nie Hongshu didn't bother to ask, and while drinking with Gu Ming, he chatted about the demon extermination in Montenegro.

At this time, Yu'er finally put aside her complicated thoughts, sat aside and listened to her uncle talk about fighting with the old demon of Montenegro.

"At the critical moment, another master rushed over and joined forces with us to deal with the old demon of Montenegro......"

After listening, Nie Hongshu looked happy: "God bless me Guobei County...... By the way, the virtuous son-in-law, since Montenegro is already peaceful, can you move some villagers in, and save the barren mountain. ”

Gu Ming shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work in a short time." First, Montenegro is too famous, and the people are afraid.

Second, after thousands of years of demonic energy, the mountain is dead and silent, and it also takes time to slowly recover its vitality, and it is estimated that it will take about ten years. ”

"Well, that makes sense......" Nie Hongshu nodded thoughtfully. Then he smiled and said, "Then I don't have to worry about Montenegro anymore." ”

In ten years, even if he is not promoted, he will have to be transferred to another place according to the rules, and Montenegro's affairs have his own new county order to worry about.

When the wine was drunk, Nie Hongshu couldn't help but say: "Virtuous son-in-law, Lord Chen wrote that the prefect recommended me to the imperial court and wanted to transfer me to the government office......

"Oh? This is a good thing, after all, there is a greater chance of promotion when you get to the government. ”

"But I don't want to go...... In fact, I have already planned to apply for resignation when my term of office is about to expire, grow flowers and grass at home, and live a few years of leisure. ”

Hearing this, Nie Xiaoqian couldn't help but ask, "Daddy, you're not too old, why don't you want to be promoted?"

Besides, Gu Lang is now a Beijing official, which is also an opportunity for you. The prefect recommended you, and he must also want to show favor to Gu Lang......"

"Silly girl, that's the problem."

Nie Hongshu couldn't help but sigh.

"Our father and son are in the same officialdom, which seems to be a good story, but the pros and cons are also equal.

I don't care, the official is soft-spoken, like the sun is thinning. But the virtuous son-in-law is different, he is very high, and the future is unlimited.

However, because of this, it will arouse the jealousy of many ministers of the DPRK and China.

They may not be able to deal with the virtuous son-in-law, but there is no guarantee that they will not attack me......

Of course, I'm not afraid of this, but because if something goes wrong with me, it will inevitably involve the virtuous son-in-law, and then affect his future. ”

Saying this, Nie Xiaoqian suddenly realized.

Indeed, this kind of serial incident can be said to be endlessly occurring in the officialdom.

Not to mention Weng's son-in-law, even relatives, friends and even fellow villagers may be implicated.

Although Nie Hongshu has not been an official for a long time, he also knows the truth in this regard, so he would rather not be an official than drag his son-in-law back.

Hearing this, Gu Ming couldn't help but say: "Father-in-law, it has always been your wish to enter the office, how can you give up easily?"

Son-in-law, you don't have to worry too much about it, don't give up your future because of this. ”

"Virtuous son-in-law, this time is different from the past. You and Xiaoqian have become married, we are all a family, and your future is more important than anything else.

As long as you and Xiaoqian are happy and harmonious, it doesn't matter if I am an official or not......"

Speaking of this, Gu Ming is not good at persuading each other again.

In his heart, he is not interested in his career, after all, he is different from ordinary people.

The reason why he is an official is also to improve his realm and strength.

When the time is ripe, he will resign and return to his hometown, run a college, practice, and enjoy his family with peace of mind......

And Gu Ming guessed that there should be another reason why his father-in-law didn't want to move up further, that is, his mother-in-law.

Presumably, after the last time the husband and wife met, they changed their father-in-law's philosophy of life, or rather, made his life full of hope again.

Isn't it a pleasure to recuperate at home for a few years and wait for the return of his wife?

"Father-in-law, otherwise, since you have made up your mind, the son-in-law will no longer persuade you.

At present, the most beneficial thing for you is to stay in Guobei County, after all, your political achievements in Guobei County are obvious to all, and it is not so easy for others to hack you.

Even if someone really wants to fix your black material, no matter who he is......"

Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in Gu Ming's eyes, and he continued: "I will definitely make the other party pay a painful price!" ”

"Hmm!" Nie Hongshu nodded with satisfaction: "It's just ...... The prefect has already reported to the imperial court, if the boss really wants to transfer me to Jinhua Mansion to serve, what will happen? ”

"So this has to be done first...... In this way, I will write a letter to the prefect of Jinhua in a while, saying that my father-in-law has just made some political achievements in Guobei County, and it would be a pity to be transferred now.

It is better to wait for two more years and accumulate more political achievements that are more conducive to future promotions. In this way, the matter can be dragged out. ”

"Haha, great, there is a handwritten letter from a virtuous son-in-law, I believe the prefect will definitely pay attention to it."

To put it bluntly, the Jinhua prefect wrote to the imperial court to recommend Nie Hongshu, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that it was to show favor to Gu Ming, that is, to choose to stand in line.

Although Gu Ming's current official qualities are the same as his, they are all five-grade, but the status and future of the two are not the same.

Gu Ming got married, the emperor, the queen mother, the queen, several concubines, and the prince of Qing all sent congratulatory gifts, how many people in the world can win this honor?

If you don't hug your thighs now, will you have to wait and see, and wait until Master Gu enters the cabinet to hug you?

At that time, I couldn't hug it if I wanted to.

Therefore, Gu Ming went to a letter at this time, how could the Jinhua prefect not follow it?

After drinking to the end, Nie Hongshu said goodbye and left.

After sending off his father-in-law, Gu Ming returned to the courtyard and found Yu'er looking at him pitifully, with a look of expectation in her eyes.

Gu Ming could understand her eyes, and she was begging him not to mention what she had said before to the young lady.

This is not her pretentiousness, she is sincere and does not seek fame, she just wants to be able to be a girl with peace of mind by the side of Gu Ming and his wife.

It is precisely because of her simplicity and lack of desire that Gu Ming feels sorry for her and is willing to give her a name.

In other words, if you are the kind of girl ring who thinks carefully all day long, let alone give it a name, I'm afraid it will be changed a long time ago.

"Xiaoqian, you come into the house, I'll discuss something for you."

"Oh!"

Nie Xiaoqian answered and walked into the house.

"Uncle, look, there's something in the sky......"

Yu'er was in a hurry and raised her hand to the sky.

Sure enough, Nie Xiaoqian stopped and raised her eyes to look at the sky.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yu'er hurriedly hurried at Gu Ming, asking him not to say anything. Because, she guessed that her uncle must mention what he told her before.

And it is impossible for her to take the initiative to talk about this matter in front of the young lady, for fear that the young lady will misunderstand that she took the initiative to bring it up.

Gu Ming pretended not to see, and also raised his eyes to look at the sky......

"Yu'er, what are you exclaiming? What's in the sky? ”

Nie Xiaoqian looked at it for a while, and couldn't help frowning and glancing at Yu'er and asked.

Yu'er squeaked: "Yes...... There are stars ......."

"Poof!"

Gu Ming couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Nie Xiaoqian couldn't help squinting, subconsciously looked at Yu'er, then at Gu Ming, and vaguely guessed something......

Before, she ordered Yu'er to accompany Gu Ming tonight, but it was actually well thought out.

According to her original plan, she originally asked Yu'er to accompany Gu Ming to the capital and take care of Gu Ming's daily life.

As a result, Gu Ming disagreed, saying that Yu'er had to stay at home to take care of her, and Yu'er was at the juncture of cultivation now, so it was better to stay at home.

Therefore, Nie Xiaoqian decided to let Yu'er accompany Gu Ming before he left home.

Her purpose was actually to let Yu'er give Gu Ming a child......

"Inexplicable!"

Nie Xiaoqian glared at Yu'er dissatisfied, and then walked into the room.

Seeing that the door was closed, Yu'er looked entangled...... I wanted to eavesdrop, but I didn't dare.

She was really afraid that the young lady would get angry and scold her.

If the young lady misunderstands her, she will be driven away...... Where does she go from here?

Thinking of this possibility, Yu'er couldn't help but sit in the courtyard and wipe away her tears.

Ying Ning was quite sensible, and ran to Yu'er's feet and screamed softly, as if to comfort her.

in the house.

Gu Ming pretended to be a tiger and asked Nie Xiaoqian: "Madam, what do you mean by this, why did you suddenly order Yu'er to accompany me?" ”

"People are also kind-hearted......"

Nie Xiaoqian replied with some grievances.

"I know you're well-intentioned, but...... Yu'er is still young......"

"Husband, I know you love Yu'er, actually...... Actually, I didn't arrange it casually, I thought about asking her to give you a baby, and ...... in the future."

Hearing this, Gu Ming couldn't help but stroke his forehead: "Wait, what are you talking about?" Dare you let Yu'er accompany me to let her have a child? ”

"Yes, you also heard from my mother that day, she said that I may not be pregnant in the next few years, so ...... I thought about it, and the most suitable person was Yu'er.

Of course, I won't lose her, and when she has it, my husband will take Yu'er as a concubine and give her a name......"

"Uh...... How did you come up with me? Actually, I'm looking for you for this as well.

Of course, I don't mean having children......"

Gu Ming recounted a conversation with Yu'er when he took a bath in the afternoon.

"I took the initiative to bring this up, Yu'er was afraid that you would misunderstand, so she kept begging me not to tell you, she said that she didn't ask for fame, as long as she could be by our side."

Hearing this, Nie Xiaoqian was quite moved and emotional.

"Oh, this stupid girl ......"
