Gu Nanxi reached out and touched Chen Yixuan's head.
Her smile is like a blooming peony, her eyes hold the wisdom of years, and make people feel kind and warm.
"Are you scared?"
These light words made Chen Yixuan's eyes red.
He lowered his head, sniffed, and then nodded heavily: "Yeah, I'm scared."
Why aren't you afraid?
Time is a ruthless knife that can easily cut off all kinds of friendships.
When they received the news that Duke Yun was planning to take them away from Kyoto and come to Yunzhou, they were ecstatic and did not hesitate.
They firmly believed that with their friendship with Duke Yun, their loyalty to him, and their abilities, they would be able to make a name for themselves in Yunzhou.
But when they came to Yunzhou, no, starting from Shuozhou, their confidence began to waver.
Yunzhou is developing too fast. Its systems, laws, regulations, various technologies, everything are very different from those of the Great Zhou.
Yunzhou is like a high-speed rail train. Anyone who cannot keep up with its pace will be left far behind.
And it seems that the only thing they can rely on is the friendship of Duke Yun.
After hearing Chen Yixuan's answer, Gu Nanxi looked around.
As steady as Censor Jiang was, he was unaware that the wine glass in front of him was empty and just raised his glass to drink.
Gu Nanxi stood up and said loudly: "It's my fault. I judged others by myself and didn't consider your feelings. I will drink three cups as punishment!"
Gu Nanxi drank three glasses of wine before he began to explain: "It's not easy to travel a long distance. I took into consideration that you are old and young, and the scenery in Yunzhou is very different from that in Kyoto, so I thought of letting everyone have a good time in Yunzhou first to relax."
So, it’s not intentional absence, nor is it a show of force.
And precisely because I consider so much, I won't rush and let everyone have enough fun first.
Gu Nanxi patted Chen Yixuan's hand soothingly. The child was trembling all over.
Gu Nanxi felt sad, and her tone became softer: "Yixuan, what did you call me?"
"Godmother."
Gu Nanxi waved at Jiang Guanghai again, motioning him to come over.
Jiang Guanghai hesitated for a moment, then walked over. He was not as sweet as Chen Yixuan, and his personality was decent, not as likable as Chen Yixuan.
Although he admired Gu Nanxi very much in his heart, he had never expressed this admiration out loud.
Gu Nanxi held Chen Yixuan's hand with her left hand and Jiang Guanghai's with her right hand, and said kindly, "In the past, you two settled your grievances at the Qiaodongzichuan Hotel and became sworn brothers with Xuanming, Yunting, Yunyan and others. What did you say at the beginning?"
Chen Yixuan and Jiang Guanghai blurted out: "We share the good times and the bad times."
"You treat each other as brothers, and I as your mother. In my heart, you are naturally my children as well. How can family affection fade due to distance? When I was attacked from all sides, did you ever think of drawing a clear line between you and me?"
Chen Yixuan: "How can this be possible? How can a child abandon his parents when they are in trouble?"
Jiang Guanghai: "Being treacherous is not the way of a gentleman."
Gu Nanxi smiled: "Then I am a villain?"
"Of course not! You are the greatest hero in the world!"
"If you are a villain, there will be no more gentlemen in the world."
Gu Nanxi said with a straight face: "If you have concerns in your heart, why don't you just say it? Especially you!"
Gu Nanxi tapped Chen Yixuan's forehead, and said angrily, "Wine makes a bear bold. Is there anything you dare not say when you are sober, but only dare to say it when you pretend to be drunk? I didn't know that my Shilang is actually a bear."
Chen Yixuan was so ashamed that he turned his head to look at his father, and then, under Gu Nanxi's encouraging gaze, he spoke loudly.
"I just want to ask for an official position for my father and my father-in-law. My father doesn't know how to do anything except being an official. We don't have much wealth, and he is always worried that there will be a day when he will run out of money. My father-in-law is obsessed with being an official. He feels itchy all over if he doesn't wear an official robe."
Lord Chen stroked his forehead and said, this naughty child is hopeless!
Chen Yixuan's father-in-law's face turned green and red. How should he explain this? It was good for his son-in-law to ask for an official position for himself, but please explain what is an official fanatic? Huh? ! What is an official fanatic? !
Gu Nanxi laughed out loud: "Wouldn't it be easier if you had said this earlier? Why should you let your family worry so much?"
Gu Nanxi turned to Lord Chen and said sternly, "Lord Chen, I heard that you are good at Xixia and Goryeo, and often deal with foreign countries. I have an important task for you, but the other party is on the way. After everyone arrives, we will talk in detail."
As soon as Lord Chen heard this, he knew that this was not perfunctory, but that there was really something he wanted to do. He bowed his hands repeatedly and said, "I am willing to be at your service, Lord."
As for Chen Yixuan's father-in-law, Gu Nanxi thought for a moment and asked, "What do you think?"
Chen Yixuan raised his hand: "He is interested in artillery!"
Although his father-in-law aspires to be an official, his technical level is still good.
Gu Nanxi asked for his opinion and then arranged the person to the logistics of the army, to follow Qin Bohuai to familiarize himself with the business first. Once he was able to get the hang of it and was sure that there was no problem with the person, Qin Bohuai could be released.
Lord Li used to work in the Ministry of Personnel and was familiar with the laws of the Great Zhou.
He himself wanted to continue working in the Ministry of Personnel, but Gu Nanxi did not agree.
"Master Li, the laws of Yunzhou are different from those of the Great Zhou. I want to rest and recuperate, but I am unable to do so. I hope Master Li can help me."
Lord Li is numb.
Judging cases according to the law and amending the law are two completely different things.
As long as the former handles the matter impartially, he will have a clear conscience.
The latter lasts for hundreds of years and can even affect the continuation of a dynasty. If there are one or two loopholes in the law, people can exploit them to make a sieve.
How heavy is the task?
Gu Nanxi gave a reassurance: "Don't worry, you are not the only one responsible for this."
After hesitating for a moment, Lord Li agreed. After all, I don't want to be the one who makes the rules.
Gu Nanxi and Lord Jiang looked at each other, then smiled and said, "Lord Jiang, I have remembered the late night talk at Songshan Academy that day. I have never forgotten it. I am walking forward for what we said that day. Lord Jiang, what about you?"
Lord Jiang raised his eyebrows slightly and straightened his back a little more.
He stood up and said respectfully: "Although I am in a low position, I still worry about my country. I am willing to serve you with all my heart and soul until my death!"
Gu Nanxi said bluntly: "Master Jiang is fair and upright, and dares to speak frankly. Although Yunzhou has its own system and laws, people's hearts are uncontrollable and human nature cannot be gambled. I need Master Jiang to monitor all officials and also monitor me. Do you dare?"
"Do your duty!"
After arranging the adults, Gu Nanxi turned his attention to the young people and female relatives.
There is no need to say much about Jiang Guanghai. He has been trained in the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After a little training, he can directly take charge of government affairs.
"Ladies and girls, if you have time, why not go to Baichuan Academy to study? We have female officials in Yunzhou. No one can have one better than yourself. Instead of waiting for your husband and son to earn an imperial decree for you, it's better to be an official yourself."
"what?"
The female family members looked at each other in bewilderment. So this was the way to bring the whole family together to serve the country?
Even the female family members are not spared?
Mrs. Jiang was eager to try, but she was not very confident: "But my son is already this big..."
Gu Nanxi encouraged him, "Lian Po is still strong at the age of sixty. We are only forty, and we are in our prime."
Chen Yixuan slid to his wife's side, massaged her back and shoulders, and said flatteringly: "Madam, our child's future depends on you!"
