On the first day of Zhou Gu's appointment as the head of the household department, not only did he not get off his post in advance, but he didn't wait until midnight to come out of the household department with the head of the household department and others.

When they came out, they were so tired that they didn't even have the strength to speak.

When he was in Daliang, Zhou Gu thought from childhood to adulthood that one day he would enter the court, step by step, and become an auxiliary minister after the crown prince ascended the throne, and he would not be busy until he came out of the yamen in the middle of the night.

The moment he saw the moon hanging high in the middle of the sky, he almost regretted coming to Nanchu with Su Rong.

He wanted to live a lifetime with the person he liked, but he didn't expect to be afraid of sword fighting, nor was he afraid of thousands of troops, and the first thought that almost made him regret it was to fold his halberd in the mountains of official duties in the household.

It's only the first day, and he's twice as busy as the Ministry of Rites, and for a year and a half, he's afraid that he's going to get old early.

I followed Zhou Gu in the middle of the night, and I also broke my leg today, and I was also weak, and the whole person was not energetic. He was also distressed yesterday that Feng Ling was kicked away from the princess by his son, and was kicked out of the Ministry of Rites by his own son-in-law to fill the vacancy, he thought to himself that he was okay, he still followed the son, he didn't have to make up for the vacancy, it would be much easier, just follow the son.

Who knows, I'll be slapped in the face today, the son is tired of becoming a cow, and he is almost tired of becoming a dog.

If this continues, he is afraid that one day he will not even have the strength to swing his sword.

No wonder the night phase and Mr. Xie unanimously kicked the son to the household department, the household department is too short of people, there are too many things piled up, the disadvantages can't be sorted out, there are bad points everywhere, the son is in the middle of the night this day, the tight brows have not been loosened, and he almost ran away several times, compared to the first day of yesterday's daughter and the courtiers in the palace to discuss important matters, but also add a more word.

He felt that Childe almost wanted to draw his sword and kill someone. If those people from the Nangong family didn't escape from Dawei, he estimated that they would be cut into pieces like watermelons one by one.

Hey, I'm tired, I'm tired. His life was not much better than Feng Ling's.

Back in the palace, Zhou Gu dragged heavy steps into the Feng Palace, and when he walked to the door of the palace, he suddenly remembered that when he came back so late at night, Su Rong should have rested, and she was also very tired, he shouldn't have woken her up and woken her up.

But he hadn't seen her for a day, and he really missed her.

He was struggling, the door suddenly opened from the inside, Su Rong stood in the door barefoot and wearing single clothes, and whispered to him, "Why didn't you come back and come in?" Standing at the door as a doorman? ”

Zhou Gu shook his head, "No." ”

He reached out and picked her up by the waist, walked into the door, and after two steps, turned back and kicked the door again.

Su Rong snorted, "Why are you hugging me?" ”

This horizontal princess hugged her, making her feel as if she was going to be entered by him into the cave room.

Zhou Gu carried her into the inner room, entered the inner hall, came to the bed, lifted the curtains, put her on the bed, and said, "The ground is cold, you are barefoot, isn't it cold?" ”

Su Rong stretched out his hand to push him, "The kung fu is short, I don't feel cold, you go and hold the lamp." ”

Zhou Gu nodded, there was a moon outside the house, and a little moonlight came in the house, and he didn't feel dark after getting used to it, but he still walked to the table and lit it with a flint, and the room suddenly brightened.

Su Rong sat up from the bed and asked him, "Why did you come back so late?" Too busy to do the work of the household? But it shouldn't be so late, it's past the hour. ”

Zhou Gu poured himself a glass of water, brought it to the bedside, and sighed while drinking, "The situation in the household department is very bad, I didn't expect it before I went to the household department, but after I went, I realized that it was more than ten times worse than I imagined." ”

Su Rong frowned, "Is it so bad?" ”

"Yes. The dossier filled three rooms, and there were hundreds of things to be dealt with, and they were disorganized. Zhou Gu had a cup of water, played with the teacup and said: "There are dozens of important things, and I am afraid that I will not be able to finish it for a year." ”

Su Rong inhaled, "So serious? Didn't the household department do anything before? ”

After she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that the reason why the household department had so many things to deal with was because the household department was controlled by the Nangong family in the past, and the Nangong family infiltrated the entire household department for personal gain, and set up the household book, which is also what he learned when he mentioned it to her on the way back to Beijing through night return to the snow, and now that the Nangong family has withdrawn, won't the entire household department collapse, disorganized, and have to be picked up all over again? There is only one household book, of course, it doesn't work.

She stretched out her hand to hug Zhou Gu, "Then you can't be so tired, if you go down so late every day, and people are not beaten with iron, how can you stand it?" Look at you, your face is not good this day. Didn't eat at noon or night? ”

"Eat." Zhou Gu casually threw the cup back on the table in front of the bed, let Su Rong hold him, rested his chin on her shoulder, smelled the fragrance emanating from her body, and relaxed himself, "It's just a headache from being tossed by the mountain of files, and I feel that this job will take a year, and the whole person feels bad." ”

Su Rong can understand this feeling, when she went to the morning court on the first day, she heard that everyone had a book, and some people even played two or three books, and they were all important things that needed to be solved urgently, and she was not good at the time, and almost stared her father out of a hole.

But she really didn't expect that Tobe would be so bad.

Tonight, she didn't wait for Zhou Gu to come back on time, she thought that he went to the household department on the first day, Ye Xiang and Uncle Xie both said that the household needed people, it must be a real need, and it was not strange to be later, but she didn't expect it, she waited, and he didn't come back until midnight.

She hugged Zhou Gu and said distressedly: "It can't go on like this."

"It's not impossible, I can stand it." Zhou Gu rubbed Su Rong's neck with his chin, "Just wait until everything is smooth." ”

"According to what you say, at least a month." Su Rong said.

Zhou Gu nodded, "It's true that it takes this time, but I can stand it." ”

He was stunned and stunned by the situation of the household department for a while, but now that Su Rong hugged him, he was energetic again, and felt that he could do it again.

Su Rong said: "This is not a way, even if you can stand it, what about the rest of the household?" Are they as late as you are? ”

"Well, Master Sun is also staying up with everyone. He is old, and at the end of the day, the whole person walks shaking. Zhou Gu thought of Master Sun and began to see him, as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and then he was busy all day, and he didn't even want to speak.

Su Rong pondered quickly, "That's it, Zhang Yun can't come back, he must stay in charge, transfer Xingzhi and Ning Ze back to Beijing, and let the two of them go to the household department to help you." Discuss the follow-up matters of the peace book with Da Wei, and Zhang Mao and Jiang Zhu should be able to handle it with someone to assist Zhang Yun. In addition, in the early Ming Dynasty, I discussed with the courtiers and immediately opened the imperial examination. Within three months, a group of talents will be selected. ”

Zhou Gu thought about the tricky things in the household department, and did not object, so he simply said, "Okay." ”
