Because Li Changgeng, the owner of the Li family, was promoted to the right servant of the third-rank official department, the Li family instantly became lively from the neglect of the family.

Mrs. Li is strangely uncomfortable with this situation. She was originally a noble lady in the capital city, but she has lived with her husband in the border town for more than ten years. At critical moments, he can also grab a knife and work with the people in the house to protect the safety of the whole family.

Mrs. Li simply said: "After you report to the official department, I will go to my sister's side to see if there is anyone who can help. Third-rank officials, there are many people in the capital who are more officials than us and have higher status than us, so it's not our turn to have a grand banquet in the Li Mansion."

Li Changgeng has always respected his wife, and he has never been called wrong after suffering with him for so many years, not to mention that what his wife means is what he means, he doesn't want to be too high-profile, his position has hindered many people : "According to Madam, the water in the capital is deep, you must not be flattered and then step in, otherwise the family rules will not allow it."

Li Changgeng put on a face, it was really bluffing, but he was chased away by Mrs. Li in a blink of an eye. The children in the family are not the ones who will be blown away by a few words. With the current situation in the capital, they have already returned to the capital. I have made it clear before, and I will not interfere indiscriminately.

On the second day after Li Changgeng went to the Ministry of Officials to report to officially take office, the gate of the Li Mansion was closed, and the people who went to Li Mansion to deliver the post learned that Mrs. Li had gone out. The people who had to go back disappointed and reported the news to their masters.

Interested people paid attention to it, and found that Mrs. Li is really a restless person. As soon as she returned to the capital to settle down, she ran to Li Shi's side and got mixed up with Li Shi happily. What can they do?You can't pull people back by force.

Gradually, all the dignitaries in the capital also discovered the attitude of the Li family. They only wanted to keep a low profile, and if they wanted to win over the Li family, they had to do it slowly.

The work of the official department is not easy, especially Li Changgeng was targeted by Zuo Shilang, and he obviously felt that he was squeezed out. Li Changgeng was mentally prepared, so he didn't think it was different, but he was squeezed out by Zuo Shilang's people , Yan Xiangjin greeted him with a smile on his back foot, Li Changgeng felt strange in his heart, did he want to hit him with a stick and give him a sweet date?

If this was Yan Xiangjin's method, he would have looked down on Li Changgeng too much. Although he dealt with it calmly, it was not as straightforward as that in the border town.

After Li Changgeng joined the Ministry of Officials, there was no movement from Li Changshuo. Normally, Li Changgeng's current position could find a good job for his younger brother. Many people even gave hints in front of him, but Li Changgeng remained silent. I found my nephew and second brother in private to talk about it.

It wasn't what they expected to take over the position of the right servant, so the original plan didn't work out, and Li Changshuo's whereabouts became a problem.

Li Changshuo himself was careless: "In my opinion, I should still be sent abroad. Now that my eldest brother is in the official department, I am not afraid of being put on small shoes outside. Our brothers are all staying in the capital, which is too eye-catching."

Because of the appearance of Gu Zhao, the situation of the Li family has changed greatly compared to before, but don't look at Gu Zhao is just a small sixth-rank master, who is very inconspicuous on others, and a plaque falling on the road would be a big change. It can hit several Beijing officials, but Gu Zhao's situation is different.

Now a lot of power has gathered around him. He has a close relationship with Song Ze. Song Ze, the No. [-] Scholar, has a high popularity and prestige among scholars. Like brother, no one knows the status of Viscount Pingnan in front of His Majesty.

In addition, Gu Zhao is also very close to the Song family where Song Cheng lives. Song Cheng is now the servant of the household department, and now with the addition of Li Changgeng, the servant of the official department, he is already a part of the capital. A force to be reckoned with.

"If I leave the capital, my wife and children will have to be taken care of by Brother Lao." This time when he left the capital, Li Changshuo didn't want his wife and children to follow him around.

"This is what it should be." As the eldest brother and uncle, Li Changgeng should take care of them.

A few words determined Li Changshuo's future for the next few years, and Gu Zhao couldn't say anything more. The two uncles thought more comprehensively than him. After Li Changgeng entered the palace to face the saint, Li Changshuo's order was officially issued. Soon, he will leave Beijing to go to a relatively affluent place in the south to become a local official of the fourth rank. This transfer order was also issued directly from the cabinet without passing through the hands of the officials. Therefore, Yan Xiangjin didn't know about it until the transfer order came down, and his face was very ugly. , It seems that he has entered the Ministry of Officials and has great power, but in fact he is nothing in front of the emperor.

That night, Gu Zhao took Gu Mu to his uncle's house. Uncle Li was in a good mood. After waiting for many days, he finally found something, and the result was better than he expected. He was promoted to a higher level, but he was also promoted by two levels. Now he is also a local fourth-rank official. Not many people can reach this step, so he is very satisfied.

In the past, he thought that he would spend his whole life in the fifth-rank position. Who would have thought that there would be a day when time would come.

Seeing his nephew coming and not shy away from Gu Mu who came with him, Uncle Li asked directly: "What does Zhaoer think of your second uncle's appointment?"

Gu Zhao said: "Second Uncle's appointment this time is not easy. If it is possible, Second Uncle is over there, so you might as well pay more attention to the movements in Jiangnan's officialdom."

Uncle Li nodded and agreed: "That's right, what Zhao'er said is right, the place you went to this time is next to Jiangnan, it seems irrelevant, but there is a lot involved in it, but now the water in Jiangnan is too muddy, the two Brother, you must be careful."

Uncle Li frowned when he heard this, he thought it would be easier this time, but he didn't want the burden to be heavier, but he has been an official for many years, and he will not be afraid of it, not to mention he is quite supportive of his nephew's choice, Jiangnan's officialdom is so important , Of course, we can't let Jiangnan fall into the hands of others.

"I understand. I will act cautiously. Those people probably don't expect that I will make a fuss. That's enough, leave this task to me." Uncle Li Er accepted this challenge happily, and finally he could help his nephew.

Regarding Gu Mu, the two uncles unanimously regard him as their own. Although he is the son of the Southwest Prince, he has a deep relationship with his nephew. In the past few years, they have also seen it clearly. Anyone, not to mention Gu Mu is the most trusted person around the emperor, so even for the nephew, they will treat Gu Mu as their own. Uncle Li specially told him how to behave in front of His Majesty, Grasp the sense of propriety, and never be spoiled by favor.

Gu Mu also accepted it humbly, and his attitude made the two uncles of the Li family very happy.

After the conversation, Gu Zhao took Gu Mu to meet the two aunts and cousins ​​before leaving Li Mansion. Because it was still early, the two of them did not get into the carriage, but walked side by side on the road.

"Brother is still working on those machines?" Gu Mu is also very busy recently, so he hasn't communicated with Gu Zhao privately for a while. I only know that my brother is also busy in the Ministry of Industry all day long, but he is not as leisurely as he was in the Imperial Academy before. up.

"I'm not working on the machine anymore. I applied to Mr. Zhao for a reward system. I will take part of the money from selling the machine and use it to reward craftsmen who have made beneficial improvements. Those craftsmen are better at doing these things than me. , I won’t get involved.” Because it was their own internal income, they could use part of it at their own discretion, and of course this matter was also acquiesced by Master Shang Shu, so Gu Zhao devoted his energy to other things.

"What have you been up to these days? Can you tell me?" Gu Zhao asked with concern.

Gu Mu nodded and said: "There is nothing you can't say to my brother." Even if His Majesty asked him to keep it secret, he didn't feel the need to hide it from his brother, unless these things would bring danger to his brother. He whispered in Gu Zhao's ear , "The girl is pregnant."

Gu Zhao's eyebrows twitched when he heard it, is that what he thought it meant?Gu Mu nodded with certainty.

Gu Zhao raised his eyebrows, but this was normal. Ever since the princess married the son-in-law, the two have always loved each other very much. The son-in-law is very considerate, and he does everything about the princess himself. Anyone with eyes can see that, although the princess behind the scenes He would say some nasty things to look down on the son-in-law, thinking that he eats soft food, has no masculinity, and circles around a woman all day long, but Ning Yang clearly enjoys it.

Now that Gu Zhao has entered the officialdom, he doesn't have many opportunities to contact the princess, but he has seen the princess a few times, and he also thinks that the princess looks very good. It can be seen that he is very satisfied with the life with the son-in-law, so it is very important for the princess to be pregnant at this time. normal thing.

Seeing that her brother was interested, Gu Mu even drew a number with her hands. Gu Zhao was even more surprised. It had been four months. So there is no trace of it.

Gu Mu smiled: "The girl is in good health, and she is still showing off in front of me, saying that she is not a problem even if she stabs the bandit's lair now, and she can still mount a horse to kill the enemy. She is fine, but she frightened Your Majesty and the son-in-law. .”

Gu Zhao also burst into laughter: "But the weather is getting hotter and hotter, I'm afraid I can't hide it."

Gu Mu nodded: "So pay special attention to the safety of that girl."

Gu Zhao understands, Gu Mu should be busy with this matter recently, I am afraid that the three juniors may not be willing to see the princess give birth smoothly, look at Ning Yang's current posture, how is it different from the married ones, they I'm afraid that the emperor will treat his grandson as his own grandson, so what will happen to them then?

Besides, even if there is no such thing, if there is some accident during the delivery of the princess, it would be the most cost-effective for them to kill two dead bodies. I am afraid that even His Majesty will not be able to survive at that time.

"In the next few months, until the successful completion of the period, I'm afraid it will not be peaceful."

Gu Mu snorted softly, he couldn't let those guys ruin his business.
