Gu Yun came home late today, and had a lot of things to do these past few days. He couldn't come back to eat with her often, but in truth, there was no time where he didn't want to come back quickly and eat with others.

The moment he entered, he saw Xie Jingxi reading on the bed, she went to wash her hands, then took down the book from her hands without saying a word, and directly carried her onto the bed.

"Does it still hurt?"

Although Xie Jingxi knew that he would usually stay in the outer room for a while, and take the cold air off her body before coming in, it was as if he could not hold her hands warm at all. It was as if she had brought the whole winter home with him.

"Have you eaten? If you don't eat properly, I'll ask Ming Yu to make you a bowl of noodles. "

Gu Yun obviously didn't want to eat it, he just hugged it, "It's okay, I'm not hungry, let me hug you for a while."

Xie Jingxi held his hand, but was instead held back by him, "Have you always had a stomach ache?"

"Yeah, it has always been, but I've been treating it for the past few years. It's much better now, so you don't have to worry."

Gu Yun rested his chin on her shoulder, and unconsciously held her hand on her lower abdomen, "I'll ask the old man to show you later."

Xie Jingxi giggled, "It's no big deal, it's fine as long as you recuperate for a while, but you don't have to be greedy, I might be a little shy around words normally, I will take note of it in the future, but your second brother gave me a prescription today, I don't know if I can use it, so I'll show it to grandfather later."

"He has a lot of connections outside, even his family also has a few Medicine Hall. He must have asked them in detail, so it shouldn't be wrong."

Gu Yun played with her fingers while listening to his casual tone. Suddenly, Xie Jingxi remembered the last time she met his in Aunt Zhao, when she helped her along the way, and estimated that at that time, Gu Yun would already know what was going on. It was just that he had never mentioned it, and her worries never hung on her face, which made Xie Jingxi a little nervous.

It wasn't because she was afraid of anything, but because she was afraid that he would think too much into it. There were some things that were unclear, so it was more accurate to say, "Did your second brother ever look for you?"

"Hmm?" Gu Yun was startled, "You said last time? "You guessed it."

Xie Jingxi nodded her head. The last time Zhao Zhang rushed here so quickly, he must have followed Gu Heng all the way here, since he wasn't the one who specially sent people to follow him out of boredom. He must have been looking for Gu Yun first, and had even said something that he shouldn't have said.

"Actually, it's nothing. If you don't like it, then I'll find someone else to settle the score with in the future."

When her words reached the tip of her tongue, Xie Jingxi felt a little regretful that she had mentioned this matter, because she realized that there was no way to explain her thoughts at all. She could not say what really happened, and it was just a sentence of nonsense.

But it made Gu Yun laugh, "So that's why you kept this matter to yourself, when we, Xi, attract others to like us, it is my fortune, and if it is mine, I will keep it." Most likely, it was not his, he had to snatch it, furthermore, Gu Heng was not the only one who was thinking about his family's Xi.

Xie Jingxi thought that it would be better to avoid Gu Yun and his preconditions from now on.

"Have you been in trouble recently?"

"It's not bad, but today is the first month for Lord Feng of Ministry of Justice, Lu Kun insisted on bringing me to join in the fun, so it wasn't easy to refuse, so I went to ask for a favor."

Gu Yun did not like to socialize with others, and there was nothing he could do about it. Looking at his spirit and vitality today, Xie Jingxi knew that it definitely would not be just that, but since he did not tell her, she did not ask. He only followed his instructions and asked: "Master Feng? However, the previous son of the Zou Clan's young mistress mentioned it to me. Since she mentioned it, my mother told me that it was a joyous occasion and that we should send something over. I then considered giving his a gift in the name of Marquis Mansion.

"You're so stingy." Gu Yun looked at her with a smile, "If you had said it earlier, then I wouldn't have been so polite, it would have been better to eat more. Master Feng is also willing to go, all you invited are the famous chefs in the capital, it's just that I was still thinking about having a stingy person at home, and wasn't in the mood to eat."

Originally, this is all a matter of courtesies. For the past few days, I've been looking at the accounts in the residence, and the monthly gift money has already caught up with us eating for several months, so it's not like we can be friendly with each other. In my opinion, it's not going to be a gift from the start, it's just that I've spent a lot of effort to prepare a gift for you.

Hearing that, Gu Yun immediately knew that this foolish wife of his did not know who Master Feng was, but it was all thanks to her giving him a gift in one go, causing Master Feng to think even more highly of him.

This Master Feng was none other than the cousin of Crown Prince's Wife's mother. At least half of the reason why Ministry Feng was able to climb to his current position was because he was related to Crown Prince's Wife, but he himself was not too far from doing so. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to obtain the position of.

But I have to start from the beginning.

Gu Yun had been quite free these past few days since he'd taken up his post. Firstly, because he didn't have much business as an official, and secondly, because he was the eldest young master of the House of the Marquis, no one expected him to do anything. Initially, the princes and sons of noble families were mostly people who only knew how to eat with corpses. Even if Gu Yun was a seventh grade official, someone would still try to coax him.

However, Gu Yun's superior was not an ordinary person. When the Treasury expanded to the present dynasty, it became a idle department that oversaw the management of military equipment. Yang Shouli, the teacher of the Treasury, was originally a military general, and was sent to this position because he committed a small offense. Yang Shouli was a military general, and a very typical one with a simple-minded and well-developed body. The military equipment was one thing, but dealing with books and books like that was equivalent to taking his life.

Therefore, when Gu Yun took over his position, he did not care about how old his grandfather was or what rank he had lined up for, so he immediately threw the matter of the military personnel storehouse to him. It did not matter if he could get involved, since no one came to this place throughout the year, so all you had to do was watch and do not let the bugs eat it.

They all said that Yang Shouli was a rash person, but Gu Yun found him to be an interesting person. Normally, he would get along well with him, and with an eye for eye, he would even take over some of the miscellaneous objects that were used to writing. Since he had nothing to do with it, he would just look through the records in the military manual.

This person was Ministry Feng. Ministry Feng had been an assistant minister for a few years in the Ministry of War, and although he was raised in Imperial examinations and had some knowledge about military strategies, he had written a book on military tactics. He then kept it in the armory as an ancient book and left it there to be covered in dust, it did not prevent Ministry Feng from being pleased with himself.

Lu Kun was Lu Bingsheng's father, he had given Xie Cen face and naturally had to take care of Gu Yun, so this kind of good thing about getting to know officials was naturally the first one he thought of, thus he did not care whether the other party sent a invitation or not, and forcefully pulled them over. At first, Ministry Feng did not have a good impression of Gu Yun because of what Crown Prince's Wife said to his wife, Lady Li. Of course, Crown Prince's Wife was not stupid enough to tell the ugly things about the crown prince, but Ministry Feng came to the conclusion that the crown prince might not like Gu Yun too much.

However, on Lu Kun's face, was still quite courteous to Gu Yun, given the relationship between him and. However, after getting along with him for a while, he felt that Gu Yun, this young man, was very much in his eyes. Only when the crown prince ascended the throne would he be considered as an honorable uncle to the country. Thus, when Gu Yun intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the book that he had written previously, the eyes that he looked at Gu Yun with were all shining.

was like a spring breeze blowing into the Ministry Feng's heart, just right enough, it scratched his itch and talked to him for a long time, as if they were close friends when they were drinking. Upon hearing that the other Ministry Feng s could do such a thing, all the other people present rushed to praise them one after another. They all wished that they could flatter this song to praise it.

This kind of noble and objective method was especially sincere. The Ministry Feng who followed the rules really didn't have the slightest bit of temper, and after drinking three rounds, he almost pulled Gu Yun down to his knees and kowtowed to him. In the end, it was Lu Kun who persuaded him with a few sentences, saying that it would be easy for him to become famous this way, and that he could drag Gu Yun out of the Feng Residence at any rate.

After Ministry Feng drank the broken pieces, the only thing he remembered was his precious son and Gu Yun, and dragged Lady Li along as he muttered to himself, "The young master of the Gu family is really not bad, this young man has a bright future, we have to interact more in the future, no, we have to promote him."

Lady Li knew that he was the type to go up after drinking a bit of alcohol, and it wasn't weird for him to flatter her so much. For the rest of her life, the only thing she was most likely worrying about was getting a son, not asking about government affairs and now there were tens of thousands of things to do, whatever Ministry Feng said, she would listen to.

"Old master, now that you mention it, I do remember that Marquis Mansion is a gift for us. You said that we also did not think of sending a message to the young master of the Gu family. I heard that Marquis Mansion is currently for the eldest wife."

Ministry Feng's eyes became brighter, he slapped his thigh, "Look at me, I think I know how to do something, my wife is also a sensible person, according to logic, our house is not even close to the Marquis Mansion, normally the head of Marquis' Wife would not condescend to give me gifts, this daughter-in-law would only take care of a few days to know how to pave the way for her husband, with her good eyesight, look at how my wife does things, what about that, inviting her to visit our house in a few days, everyone would recognize her."

The Lady Li rolled his eyes, "Then you should have forgotten what the Crown Prince's Wife said. The Crown Prince doesn't seem to like the young master of the Gu family.

"You woman, what do you know!" The Ministry Feng did not like seeing her short-sighted look, "Usually, there will be a few who know what kind of person the Gu family's young master is, and the Crown Prince might not like his because of the trivial matters that he has to deal with, and might not even have directly met his. I think that it's most likely for the sake of women, and furthermore, this kind of person does not go and recruit them, and even gave them to others for free."

"Even if I told you, I wouldn't be able to understand it. What kind of status does the young master of the Gu family have now, not to mention the fact that he is a son-in-law of the Gu family, he has even covered half the sky for half the day, just like Pavilion Elder Song. If the Elder Official Xie is also on the side of the crown prince, then even if they couldn't rope him in, at least their Marquis Mansion would be of great importance."

As a result, after listening to her drunken speech for the whole night, Lady Li finally heard a sentence that she was more interested in, which was Gu Yun's wife, Wangfu. If she had said it earlier, wouldn't she have understood it? She had to make friends, and see what this Wangfu's wife looked like.
