2626 Chapter 2625-compensation
Fourth uncle Gu was stunned and looked at Cai Xiaolian in confusion.
Cai Xiaolian didn’t look at him. She picked up a snack and ate it.
Fourth uncle Gu felt that he understood, but he didn’t seem to.
Anyway, her mind was in a mess.
Fourth uncle Gu was not even 30 years old yet. He was the youngest in the family. He had a carefree elder brother, a capable second brother, and an even more carefree third sister. This had already taken away most of his parents ‘energy and fire.
He had been living a comfortable life since he was a child. He was not naughty. He did not study well, so he learned some skills from Carpenter yang. His life was ordinary and ordinary.
In terms of personality, he didn’t stand out too much. Among the Gu siblings, he was the most ordinary one. Even grandma Gu rarely felt bad about him.
In the past, the family didn’t have to worry about food and drink, and now, they didn’t have to worry about food and drink even more.
He felt that it would be good for him to continue like this for the rest of his life.
However, his wife’s words just now made him feel that this way of thinking was wrong. He couldn’t just think about himself. He also had to think about his wife and child.
However, he had never thought of such a complicated problem before. He really didn’t know what to do.
Now that Cai Xiaolian had said such words, fourth uncle Gu couldn’t help but think, could it be that second sister-in-law is hinting that I can become the Vice Minister of Works?
In the great Zhou, the Ministry of Works was in charge of the engineering Affairs of the entire great Zhou. It was in charge of the system of construction, the use of artifacts, the method of lowering canals and weilds, and the ceremony of offering tombs to second. Civil engineering, irrigation, machinery, mining, textile, and so on.
He was only proficient in civil engineering, so how could he be the assistant Minister of the Ministry of Works? Not to mention the Minister of Works.
He felt that his second sister-in-law had overestimated him.
Gu shouxin and Cai Xiaolian didn’t speak and just looked at fourth uncle Gu quietly.
Fourth uncle Gu’s thoughts ran wild for a while before he sighed. second brother, second sister-in-law, I won’t disturb you any longer. I’ll go back now. You should rest early too!
With that, he stood up and left.
Gu shouxin and Cai Xiaolian looked at each other and then smiled helplessly.
“Don’t tell me fourth brother went back to think about how to get a promotion?” Cai Xiaolian whispered.
Gu shouxin smiled and shook his head,”it’s not impossible for him to go back and think about what you said.” I just don’t know where he’ll start working hard from.”
Cai Xiaolian was a little surprised,”eh?” Are we really going to have two ministers in our family?”
Gu shouxin pursed his lips and looked at Cai Xiaolian with a dangerous look.”In my wife’s heart, the highest position I have is the minister of rites?”
ah, this Yingluo. Cai Xiaolian quickly waved her hand. no, no, no. He was nine thousand years old, how could the highest position he had ever reached be the minister of rites? Lord Gu, don’t be so modest.”
Gu shouxin grabbed Cai Xiaolian’s hand and placed it on his chin.”But from what this husband heard, Furen just meant that. I’m a little hurt. Madam, do you think you should compensate me and comfort me?”
Cai Xiaolian rolled her eyes at him. stop messing around. You still have work to do!
With that, she got up and was about to withdraw her hand, but Gu shouxin pulled her into his arms.
Forget it, don’t even think about working tonight.
……
The next morning, the Xue family, the Peng family, the Lu family, the Huo family, and other families who had good relations with the Gu family sent gifts one after another to congratulate the Gu family on having a new member.
Zhang Shi arranged for people to sort out these things and then record them down one by one. These were to be used as a comparison in the future.
