C55

Probably no one expected Xie Cen to ask such a question. Ever since he had a new understanding of Gu Yun, the more he realized that it was a pity that this young master was buried at home, and he wholeheartedly pondered on how he could be an official.

Other people might not be able to get along, but Xie Jingxi and the old lady's faces didn't look too good. was better off being raised at home, she had planned to do whatever she wanted, but Marquis had been fine for more than twenty years, why did he start tormenting the other party the moment he became his Young Master?

Xie Cen probably did not have this thought in his heart. What he hated the most was for his own young master to look like a cripple and live his entire life.

However, Gu Yun did not seem to be surprised, his expression was normal. He was not a person who was willing to explain, but was very willing to act on Xie Jingxi's behalf.

It was a rather stiff sentence, but Xie Jingxi was able to hear a trace of pain in her heart that others could not understand. She suddenly started to hate Xie Cen, no matter how cold and indifferent they usually were towards her, from the standpoint of being raised for a whole round, she could still manage to get by.

Gu Yun was an outsider completely unrelated person, why did he need to accept this pain on behalf of Xie Family? How much does the future of Xie Family have to do with Gu Yun?

"Alright, alright, what are you doing? As long as Young Master and Jingwan are fine, we can't make them fall into the mud!"

After the old lady said this, Xie Cen relaxed his expression, "Mother, don't be so anxious, I naturally have a plan in my heart.

He then turned to Gu Yun and said: "After and I had a discussion, and since there was an empty seat for a Minister, we decided to temporarily place you there. When the spring is over, we can act as we see fit."

The Minister of Storage was a subordinate organization of the Ministry of War, and was specifically responsible for the work of military personnel and weapons. According to a normal promotion criteria, it would take the Minister at least a few years to climb to this position. Since Gu Yun had no reputation, he had to go through the back door to get this job, which was already a very high starting point.

Actually, according to Gu Yun's background, just relying on his shadow would allow him to be a leisurely and avaricious official. Who knew how many casual jobs he had hanging in his Imperial Court, Xie Cen was completely able to find him a place that did not require much effort.

But if Gu Yun really wanted to do this, he did not have the time to worry about Xie Cen. His goal was still to get Gu Yun to become an official, and perhaps to him, being able to sell his relationship to Gu Yun was already his biggest exception, he was not willing to do such a thing, and so he decided to take the detour from Lu Family to arrange for Ministry of War, but his final goal was still to enter the Department of Revenue.

But it all depended on Gu Yun's experience, if it was not effective, Xie Cen could not drag him out, it would be said that he spent a lot of time and effort, as for Gu Yun's body, it was probably not within his consideration.

Xie Jingxi thought that with Gu Yun's free and easy character, she would probably reject Xie Cen's good intentions and let him interact with the other military personnel everyday. It would be funny just thinking about it.

But unexpectedly, Gu Yun didn't say anything, and only said: "But Father-in-law is troubling you."

Xie Jingxi wanted to pry open his head to see if she had grown hair. She was already prepared to reject Xie Cen, at worst, she would just let it go.

Suddenly, Xie Jingxi realised that Gu Yun was giving her face, saying that she could raise her head and answer his question in the family on purpose. She looked at him a little anxiously, as if she really wanted a response from him.

Could he be any more stupid? She needed him to take care of her face, she had long since abandoned the face of Xie Family, why would she want to take care of his? Xie Jingxi clenched her fists so tightly that her hands were trembling.

Xie Cen was very satisfied with Gu Yun's attitude as he pulled him and Lu Bingsheng to the study room to have a chat. Xie Jingxi suppressed the hatred in her heart and acted as if nothing had happened to coax the old lady, but the old lady held her hand and sighed: "You're a fortunate child, Gu Yun is making things difficult for him."

In front of Old Madem, no matter what, she had to suppress him like this. This way of suppressing him, her heart quieted down as she thought about it carefully, Gu Yun was not someone who could be manipulated by anyone, he was just like an aunt facing Marquis Mansion. If he was not happy, he could pull her along and disdain his, Xie Family was not even on that level for him.

That meant that Gu Yun had his own plans, but what kind of plans was worth it for him to risk his life for?

Xie Jingyi saw that she had something on her mind, so she pulled her to the courtyard, "Don't worry, I've already greeted Bingsheng, his health is not good, he will not get tired, he only carries the name Ministry of War, even if he does not take up his position, no one will say anything."

Xie Jingxi knew that his elder sister was trying to console him, and felt grateful in her heart, "Big sister, thank you for thinking in my stead, and even made it difficult for brother-in-law."

"Hey, what are you talking about in a family? There are only these few sisters in the family, how can they not help each other?"

The reason Xie Jingyi was able to come today, was probably because she was afraid that Lady Xu would ignore him, call him ugly, and give her face. Xie Jingxi knew this in her heart, and remembered how much her elder sister had treated her.

When Gu Yun came out of Xie Cen's study, he did not see any change in expression. The whole family still ate lunch together with He Le. Xie Jingxi had been accompanying the old lady the entire time and mentioned about the matters of the Old Man Ji with her. The old lady was only surprised for a bit, but she did not say that she would not go. In the end, Ming Yu had secretly told the old lady about thinking that Xie Jingxi was being bullied.

By the time they returned to Marquis Mansion in the afternoon, the awkwardness of the morning had long since disappeared. The old lady sent them out the door, and to everyone else, they seemed to be filled with envy.

But after getting on the carriage, Xie Jingxi's smile slowly faded, and even after forcing herself for an entire day, she was still unable to contain her smile. Gu Yun pulled her to his side, and nodded her eyebrows, "What's the matter, you can't bear to have your grandmother return everyday, so you don't need to worry so much that you look like an angry wife.

Xie Jingxi rebuked him for a bit before burying her face in his, hiding the tears that she almost couldn't hold, "You just didn't want to discuss it with me, if you're not willing, then no one will force you."

Hearing her suppressed crying voice, Gu Yun patted her head, "It's just because of this, your father is thinking about us, why is he unwilling? He's been busy for a long time, I can't just push him away like this, when I don't want to work anymore, I'll just quit, it's good, and you've finally managed to make me confused."

Xie Jingxi raised her head and stared into his eyes, as if she wanted to dig out some hidden reason she couldn't see through, but Young Master Gu's eyes were just too deep, with just a glance, she was swept away by a pure light, and followed him into the bottomless abyss. Although no one knew how deep the abyss was, or what was buried inside, at this moment, what made her feel that, even if she were to follow along, would make her feel a little more at ease.

"Don't you dare hide anything from me."

Gu Yun only felt that his wife was just a child who wanted to take the candy for herself without any conditions. She was cute and unreasonable, but he liked her just by looking at her, "How can I hide it from you, you can see what's in my heart with your eyes, I don't have such thick skin, I can only surrender and let you take it."

"Can't you be more serious!"

"I am truly wronged, tell me, my Xi has so easily thrown himself into a hug, and I am still being serious, isn't there something wrong with that?"

Xie Jingxi's small fists rained down on Gu Yun's body. Gu Yun did not reject all of them, and in the end, was afraid that she would be tired, so he directly carried his in his arms and coaxed the child, "How imposing must you be? Don't you find your hands painful?

"Gu Xuanchen!"

Gu Yun felt that he had to reward her with this, so he looked down to find the right place to hide, and then he stuffed all her anger into his own stomach. Even seeing her angry caused her heart to ache. How could she bear to tell her about the dirty and messy matters?

Gu Yun thought that it would be fine if some things could only be played in his stomach. Since he would be the one to challenge Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild, she would be in charge of eating and drinking to her heart's content, and only need to give birth to a little baby for her. But as a future daughter, he definitely could not take advantage of that brat Lu Family.

When the two of them returned back to the Marquis Mansion, it was already late at night. The days were supposed to be rather relaxed, but because Gu Yun had to enter the Ministry of War by the end of the day, they felt a little heavy. In reality, every single girl wished for their newlywed husband to be by their side, so that a girl who had just entered another family would not feel uneasy. Although Xie Jingxi was not nervous, she definitely did not wish for Gu Yun to go and take over.

Seeing that she was still pretending to be bored, Gu Yun ordered Zhao Zhang to bring over a few account books. As soon as Xie Jingxi looked at the books on the table, she was immediately a little dumbfounded. In her previous life, she had taken charge of the house in the Marquis Mansion. For a clan like the Marquis Mansion, all of the books in the account added up did not even exceed ten. Of course, this was not even included in the accounts room.

"You're not going to say that this is the account book you're going to give me, are you?"

Gu Yun saw her stunned, and found it funny. "Could it be, you think I'm the one who gave you the word book to calm you down?" Gu Yun pulled her over to the table and sat her down on his lap, then casually flipped through a book, "These are all businesses that I have right now, but they are just a small part of it. I know that you do not like to be in charge of things, but if I do not care about them in the future, I will definitely ask you to take care of them.
