Being named by Emperor Jingfeng, Cheng Yan walked out of the train, and after a vague glance at the crown prince Li Jinze, he said unhurriedly: "Although Gu Yunji is now involved in military affairs, he is the chief executive of Shaoxing Mansion, and he should be considered for an increase in office without affecting his own official duties." ”

"According to Weichen's opinion, he can be allowed to serve as the prefect of Shaoxing, and at the same time lead the Zhejiang Metropolitan Commander Si Zheng Liupin experience."

Experience is in charge of clerical affairs, although it is a military official, but it is usually a civilian officer. Moreover, there is no fixed number of people for this official position, and the Zhejiang Metropolitan Command Department has already had several experiences, even if there is another Gu Yunji, it will not have much impact on the existing official affairs of the yamen.

Of course, correspondingly, Gu Yunji will not have much real power.

gave Gu Yunji a bright identity, which allowed him to participate in the anti-Japanese military affairs in an upright manner, and at the same time did not give him real military power, he was essentially a civilian official, which was exactly what Emperor Jingfeng wanted.

Emperor Jingfeng thought about it for a while, was very satisfied with Cheng Yan's answer, and nodded: "Then let's do it, let Gu Yunji, the prefect of Shaoxing, also lead the post of commander of the Zhejiang Metropolitan Mission, and participate in the military affairs of Zhejiang's anti-Japanese war." ”

"Since everything has been said about this, then by the way, I will give Shen Baiyi, Su Qi and others a certain right of free movement, and assist the officials in Fujian to teach the Japanese Invaders, and if you need to transfer the anti-Japanese special army across provinces during the period, you can decide for yourself, and you don't need to report to me on everything, in short, everything is to eliminate the Japanese Invaders first."

The ministers said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

——

Although Gu Yunji, who learned that he was going to have a part-time experience, was a little surprised by this, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was reasonable. Anyway, the imperial court just gave him an identity to participate in military affairs openly, which actually did not affect his existing official position, and he still gave priority to the official duties of the Shaoxing Mansion on weekdays.

However, holding two positions is different from only holding one official position, Gu Yunji is much busier now than before, and he has to go to the state capitals to do business at every turn, either to help Shen Baiyi or Su Qi.

Seeing that Gu Yunji now has a serious identity to participate in military affairs, he is not polite at all, arranging this matter for him for a while, and arranging that matter for him for a while, as if he is afraid that Gu Yunji will be idle, he is about to squeeze out his rest time.

However, Gu Yunji watched all kinds of Japanese robbers being beaten by the special army every day, and although his body was tired, his mood was comfortable.

In just over two months, the Japanese along the coast of Zhejiang have been wiped out, and the focus of Su Qi and others has shifted to Fujian next door. Gao Shishu's Japanese robbers were defeated and retreated, and most of them retreated to the sea, not daring to go ashore at will to intrude.

At dusk that day, after dealing with the current stage of official business, Gu Yunji went home in a good mood, but he didn't see his wife greet him with a smile as usual. He felt a little strange in his heart, and when he walked into the room, he found Xu Shuhua sitting at the table with his head propped up, his eyes were red, and he looked like he had suffered some blow.

Gu Yunji's heart tightened, and he hurriedly went over and asked, "What's wrong Shuhua, what's going on?" ”

Xu Shuhua's throat choked, but he shook his head lightly and didn't say anything.

His wife didn't want to say, so Gu Yunji asked Qiu Xiao next to her with her eyes. Qiu Xiao's expression was a little complicated, she glanced at Xu Shuhua, and replied to him with two words: Miss.

Gu Yunji immediately understood, looked around, and sure enough, he didn't see his daughter. He sat down next to his wife and asked gently, "Is Xi'er disobedient and making you angry?" ”

Xu Shuhua sighed and closed his eyes tiredly: "You can go to the main hall and take a look." ”

Gu Yunji was puzzled in her heart, she didn't care about comforting her wife, and walked quickly to the main hall, where she saw Gu Zhaoxi's small body kneeling straight in the room, his eyes were red, and there were still tears on his face, but he looked stubborn and unyielding.

Although Xu Shuhua is strict with Gu Zhaoxi on weekdays, he also loves his daughter very much, even if he makes a mistake, at most he is only punished for standing and copying books, and he has never even beaten his hand, let alone kneeling.

It seems that Gu Zhaoxi has been kneeling for a while, so if Xu Shuhua can punish her like this, wouldn't it be a big disaster?

Gu Yunji had thousands of thoughts in her mind, thinking of the possibility of her daughter making a big mistake, she didn't dare to rush to wake her up, and asked with distress: "Why is Xi'er kneeling here?" Did your mother punish you for kneeling? ”

Seeing Gu Yunji, Gu Zhaoxi's eyes lit up, and he quickly suppressed the joy again, and said with a small face: "My mother didn't punish me, I had to kneel myself." ”

Gu Yunji was stunned: "You want to kneel yourself?" Why? ”

Gu Zhaoxi hesitated for a moment, and said, "Because...... I want to practice martial arts. ”

“…… What? ”

Gu Zhaoxi mustered up the courage to repeat again: "I said, I want to practice martial arts!" ”

Gu Yunji looked at her daughter's childish face, and didn't react a little: "...... Martial arts? Why? ”

Gu Zhaoxi knelt straight: "There is no reason, I just want to do something different, I just want to practice martial arts." Boys like me are starting to read, but I can't do anything. ”

Gu Yunji was puzzled: "But didn't you start reading a long time ago?" When you were about three years old, my mother and I taught you to read and write, and you read all the enlightenment books, and now you have started to learn four books, and your progress is much faster than those boys, they are not as good as you at all, what is there to be unhappy about? ”

Gu Zhaoxi immediately said: "That's different!" The boys study to become a big official in the imperial examination, but I can only entertain myself when I study. Every time I go to my uncle's and grandmother's house, I have to be told that it is not good for girls to read too many books, and after reading the female commandments and female training, it will be enough for her husband and children in the future. ”

"Why? It doesn't make sense! I don't study for my husband and children, I also want to take the imperial examination, and I also want to be a big official! ”

Gu Yunji was sad when she heard this: "I'm sorry Xi'er, my father has to tell you that there is no way for a girl to take the imperial examination to become an official." This is a custom for thousands of years, and Daddy can't change it for you. ”

Gu Zhaoxi's mood was depressed: "Actually, I know that because I am a woman, I will never be an official in my life......"

Gu Yunji's heart fluttered, and she wanted to comfort and comfort her daughter, but when she saw her, she instantly cheered up again, and her eyes lit up and said, "You can't be an official, you can always do other things, right?" I don't believe that there is only one way for a woman to get married and have children! ”

"I want to learn from Santang, go far, far away, go to many, many places! Two days ago, he came back and gave me a lot of beautiful shells, saying that he had brought them back from Qiongzhou. He said there was the sea, there were golden beaches, and there was a fruit called coconut that grew high in the trees. ”

Saying that, Gu Zhaoxi maintained a kneeling posture, moved to Gu Yunji, and said coquettishly: "Daddy, I want to go to Qiongzhou to see the sea like Uncle Santang, and I have to go to many, many places, I don't want to stay at home all the time, okay?" ”

Gu Yunji pinched his eyebrows and sighed: "But Xi'er, you are still too young, and the outside world is very complicated. The world is difficult, and it is even more dangerous for women, and you will encounter countless dangers. ”

"That's why I'm going to practice martial arts!" Gu Zhaoxi's enthusiasm was not dampened at all, "Even if I am young now, I can wait until I grow up before going out, if I have martial arts like my godfather, can't I protect myself?" ”

Gu Yunji finally understood and looked at her: "So that's why you want to practice martial arts?" ”
