Hearing the words of the little official, Gu Yanzhang nodded, explained a few more words to Lu Yi, and then turned around and went back to the public hall.

A new volume of the Di Bao, together with more than a dozen new statutes issued by the imperial court, and a reply to the political affairs hall have been placed on the table.

After being busy for most of the day, Gu Yanzhang finally had to sit down, and he first opened the reply to the political hall.

This is a reply sent to the DPRK and China last time, asking for a deferral of the payment of the autumn grain for the previous year, and asking for a monetary amount to build water conservancy.

Gu Yanzhang glanced at the reply of the political affairs hall, and couldn't help but feel a little funny, but when he thought of the hidden meaning, his heart was slightly condensed.

After he finished dealing with the day's chores and returned to the back office, the sky was still bright.

Ji Qingling was talking to Qiu Yue, and when she saw Gu Yanzhang coming back, both the master and the servant looked a little embarrassed.

Qiu Yue blushed at her young master for the first time, and after she made a salute, she quickly avoided it, forgetting to even serve tea and water.

Gu Yanzhang was a little surprised, he looked at Ji Qingling and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Ji Qingling blinked, looked back at Gu Yanzhang innocently, and asked, "What's wrong?" As he spoke, he stood up casually, changed the subject, and said, "Fifth brother is back?" Are you hungry today? Do you want to call dinner in the kitchen right now? ”

She said as she stepped forward, looking serious.

Gu Yanzhang wanted to laugh when he saw it, and when Ji Qingling got closer, he stretched out his hand, pinched her face gently, and said with a smile: "Who taught you, you actually learned to coax people?" ”

Ji Qingling let out an "oops", held his hand, and said with a smile: "Fifth brother is so wide!" ”

Gu Yanzhang was beaten by her like this, and he had no temper at all, he couldn't help it, leaned over, put his forehead against Ji Qingling's forehead, the tip of his nose against the tip of her nose, pushed it, lowered his head again, and bit her chin affectionately.

Ji Qingling was in pain, glanced at him complainingly, and muttered: "If you bite me again, I won't help you change your clothes!" ”

Gu Yanzhang couldn't help laughing, and took her hand into the inner room.

By the time it came out, the evening meal had already served.

The two had dinner and saw that the weather was very good, so they went out for a walk arm in arm.

Ganzhou City has been built for thousands of years, although it is not as prosperous as Beijing, nor as beautiful as the south of the Yangtze River, but it also has its unique charm.

The two of them walked slowly on the road, with a few servants and two little girls far behind.

At this time, it was the beginning of summer, the weather was hot and sultry, there were few pedestrians near the state office, and the two of them walked not far before it began to rain in the sky.

Qiu Lu hurriedly stepped forward to deliver an umbrella.

Ji Qingling saw the legendary Ganzhou rainstorm for the first time, which was a little strange. Because Gu Yanzhang was holding an umbrella, she freed her hand and reached out of the umbrella to test the rain.

The rain was heavy and hit her hands, and soon a small piece of her sleeve was splashed.

Gu Yanzhang pulled her hand back, half-wrapped her in his arms, and said softly: "Like a child, be careful to catch a cold." ”

Ji Qingling let out an "oh", obediently leaned into his arms, and argued: "It's so hot, I'm not a child, how can I catch a cold......

Gu Yanzhang just pinched her waist lightly.

Ji Qingling was in pain, "Ah", hurriedly glanced back, and saw that the people who followed him were all behind, so he was relieved, pretended to be vicious, and glared at Gu Yanzhang.

Before she could finish her glare, the other party lowered her head and kissed her on the face.

Ji Qingling couldn't hold back anymore and laughed. With an umbrella in the way, Gu Yanzhang put on a big oiled paper coat and wrapped each other in it, so the two of them walked together without any scruples.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the rain curtain covered the sky, and the sky and the earth were like a white curtain, and the rain rattled, and the ground began to accumulate water.

Ji Qingling was wearing a pair of embroidered shoes, and she quickly got soaked.

She didn't think there was anything, but Gu Yanzhang saw it at a glance, and he saw that the rain didn't mean to stop for a while, so he said, "The shoes are wet, come out for a walk tomorrow, let's go back first." ”

Ji Qingling naturally had no opinion, she answered, and was about to turn around, but Gu Yanzhang grabbed her arm.

was stuffed with an umbrella in Gu Yanzhang's hand, Ji Qingling was still in a daze, but seeing that the other party had already squatted down, he turned his head and said to himself with a smile: "Come up, I'll carry you back." ”

Ji Qingling's heart jumped, her face was slightly red, and she fell on Gu Yanzhang's back with a short body.

The rain was pouring like a pour, like a scoop, but she didn't feel it at all, holding an umbrella in her hand, she only put her head on Gu Yanzhang's shoulder, and whispered with him that there was no oil and no salt between lovers, and she walked back slowly.

When I returned to the back office, it was already dark, Rao was wearing an umbrella, and I wore oil-paper clothes, the lower half of the two of them were still wet, and when they returned home, they hurriedly went to take a shower and change their clothes, and when they were finished, it was time to rest.

Gu Yanzhang lay on the bed and talked to her.

The two chatted for a while, and Ji Qingling suddenly remembered something and asked, "Fifth brother, look at the rain today, is the rainy season coming soon?" Didn't you say a while ago that you wanted to build a water conservancy, but the court never wrote back? ”

Gu Yanzhang shook his head first and said, "The rainy season will be two or three months later. ”

Fu said: "The reply has come down today, and there is no need to pay the autumn grain for the time being, but the silver money has not been allocated." ”

Ji Qingling was suddenly a little surprised, and said, "So stingy? After she said this, her face became solemn, and she asked, "Isn't it that the court is already so poor?" This is a serious matter, even if the money can't be fully allocated, it won't even refuse to give a little bit, is it really so poor? ”

The reason why Gu Yanzhang asked for silver was to build water conservancy, and the money he asked for was not much, that is, he gave it all, in fact, it was nothing, if he hit it in half, or gave it back less, Ji Qingling would not feel so strange.

In his previous life, when Ji's father returned home, he often complained to his wife that the state officials and county officials everywhere regarded the court as their mothers, and they had to come back to ask for two mouthfuls of milk to drink if they had nothing to do.

Ji Qingling was young at the time, and her family didn't take her seriously, they just thought they couldn't understand it, and they didn't avoid many words.

The two worlds are a pair, and she compares them to the wrong one.

You can discount it in half, or even fold it in half and fold it in half, even if you give a fraction, but if you don't give a penny, it's a bit too exaggerated.

Gu Yanzhang has never had to bother talking to his own person, often sometimes he doesn't even need to click on it, the other party can understand the meaning of his words, and when he heard Ji Qingling say this, he only bowed his head and said: "Looking at the back of the mansion, Yanzhou's rewards and pensions are only half distributed." ”
