Chapter 82
The steward asked: "Master really recommend Master Gu to serve as Capital Government Yin?"
Xie Mao snorted coldly, "Of course! Leaving Gu Zhili in the northwest will only hurt me. Doesn't he want to go back to the capital? The official will help him to make his wish come true. But Gu Zhili wants to enter the six titles. The official didn't let him get what he wanted."
The housekeeper was a little worried, "Master, will Master Gu's appointment as the capital of the capital government impede the East Palace?"
Xie Mao smiled complacently, "He didn't dare, and he didn't have the ability. Now the Queen Empress is seriously ill. Based on my understanding of Gu Zhili, at this time, he dared not move, instead he has to guard himself more than ever.
Even if one day the empress empress, at that time, the official will have his own way to let him board the ship of the East Palace.
When the time comes, he will have to ask for what he wants from the official. What he owes to the official must be paid back even with the interest. "
The steward said immediately: "The adults are wise. The young ones think that the best way to contain them is to marry."
Xie Mao narrowed his eyes slightly, "I'm not in a hurry for the marriage."
Xie Mao thought from the bottom of his heart that he didn't want to marry Gu Zhili. If it was changed to Pingnanhou Mansion, he would be willing.
The Pingnanhou mansion is much better than the Gu family, and Pingnanhou himself is also very influential in the DPRK.
In a blink of an eye, Xie Mao laughed again, "After Mrs. Gu's family returns to Beijing, our two families will come and go often. Relatives, naturally they will get closer and closer together."
The housekeeper didn't understand.
Xie Mao did not explain. just thought in heart that after sister returned to Beijing, had to let wife and sister have more contact with each other in order to make peace with Nanhou Mansion.
At that time, he will come again to find a way. Maybe you can really be a son and daughter-in-law in the Nanhou Mansion in peace.
...
A few days passed in a blink of an eye.
Everyone is paying attention to the case of Master Yin Zhang in the capital city, after all, so many people are involved.
Everyone is also speculating about who has the opportunity to take over the position of Lord Zhang.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Kai Yao suddenly made a decree to promote Gu Zhili, the governor of Jinzhou, to the post of Yin in the capital.
Many people who received the news were at a loss.
Who is Gu Zhili?
After listening to the explanation, it turned out that it was an offshoot of Ping Nan Hou's direct line, and Ping Nan Hou's nephew, everyone suddenly realized.
It turned out to be Ping Nanhou's nephew, so it's no wonder that His Majesty will appoint this person as the capital of the capital.
Considering Zhili's qualifications, he is indeed qualified for the post of Capital Government Yin.
The news reached Pingnan Hou Mansion.
Ping Nanhou lost his temper in the study.
Mr. Hou Mansion, Pingnan Hou's eldest son Gu Zhiwenhou was beside him, "Father calm down."
thought silently, the old man was so old and had such a big temper, he didn't know how to cherish his body. was angry and hurt liver, so I'll have to ask an imperial doctor to pass the house to see for the old man.
Ping Nanhou was angrily, "How do you let the old man calm down? Which bastard was behind the plot, how could your Majesty suddenly let Zhili take the post of Yin in the capital?
Jingcheng Fu Yin, huh, it sounds good to say, it is a splintery, no one can not afford to offend, if something happens, he has to take responsibility.
In case Zhili is in office and encounters difficult things, if one fails to handle it, the whole family will be affected.
Which bastard came out of the idea was clearly harming our Gu clan. "
Gu Zhiwen coughed slightly, "Father, be careful that the wall has ears. According to his son's understanding, when his majesty asked about this, Li Shizhong said. Then his majesty decided to let the younger brother of Zhili take the post of Jingcheng Fu Yin."
Ping Nanhou frowned and asked, "Which Li Shizhong?"
Gu Zhiwen said softly: "The master of the harem."
Pingnan Hou suddenly realized.
Li Shizhong is the empress of the empress, he suddenly said to let Gu Zhili Master Gu take the post of Yin in the capital, obviously, this is what the empress meant.
Behind the Queen Empress is the East Palace.
Thinking of Donggong, Ping Nanhou couldn't help but think of Xie Mao.
Could this matter have something to do with Xie Mao?
Reminiscing about the case of the former capital government Master Yin Zhang being arrested by Jin Wu, Donggong was afraid that everyone was panicked.
Thinking of this, Ping Nanhou gritted his teeth and said: "This matter may be Xie Mao's handwriting."
Gu Zhiwen was surprised, "Xie Mao? Can't it. Knowing that the position of Yin in the capital government is not pleased, he let his brother-in-law take the post. He is not afraid that the younger brother of the auditorium will hate him."
Ping Nanhou snorted coldly, "You think of Xie Mao too simply. This person does nothing to achieve his goal.
In his position, letting Zhili take the post of Yin in the capital city is the best choice. Xie Mao is really shameless. "
Gu Zhiwen frowned, "Father, how do we explain this to my cousin Zhili."
Ping Nanhou said: "To tell the truth. Zhili was calculated by Xie Mao this time, you have to remind him not to interact with Xie Mao.
Even his successor, Xie Clan, is not a beloved person.
It's a pity that everyone didn't expect Xie Mao to be where it is today, and Zhili was fascinated by beauty. The cause that was cast that day resulted in today's result. "
Gu Zhiwen said: "Father is too pessimistic."
Ping Nanhou waved his hand, "Don't talk about this. You can write a letter. Since your majesty has issued the imperial decree, you let Zhili clean up and go back to the capital with a family before the new year. The old man has not seen him for many years. , I don’t know if he has grown up after years of experience outside."
Gu Zhiwen smiled and said, "Father rest assured, Zhili Tang's younger brother has grown up well. If you are a local official, you are still in the northwest. This is not what ordinary people can do."
Pingnan Hou laughed haha, "We are all good guys from the Gu family."
...
The letter from Pingnan Houfu arrived in the northwest three days before the official document.
Master Gu's face changed after reading the letter.
Shiye Ma and Shiye Liu were at your side.
Master Ma saw Master Gu frowning, so he asked, "What's the trouble with Master?"
"Look at it."
Master Gu put the letter on the table.
Master Ma and Master Liu stepped forward together to read the letter.
Huh?
How could this be?
The two masters also frowned.
After reading the letter, Master Ma said: "The Hou Mansion's letter, this must be true. My lord, since the official document is already on the way, we still have to make early plans."
Master Liu stroked his beard and said, "Jingcheng Fu Yin is a positive third-rank. In terms of grade, an adult has been promoted. It's just that this official is not easy to be an official."
Master Gu didn't know that the location of Jingcheng Fu Yin was a hot potato and it was not easy to sit.
There are as many nobles as dogs in the capital. If a nobleman breaks the law, he should be interrogated by the capital's Yin mansion.
However, nobles are nobles after all, and nobles break the law, whether they should be tried, and to what extent, these are all knowledge.
Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will offend people.
What's more terrible is that nowadays, the battle for the seizure of the capital is getting more and more fierce.
As the Queen Empress became seriously ill, all the ghosts and monsters ran out.
Jingcheng Fu Yin faced these bulls, ghosts, and snakes, and if one of them didn't handle it well, he might be dismissed from office.
If it's just dismissal from office, it's still good. At least life will be saved.
I'm afraid that not only loses officials, but also loses his head, and even implicates the whole family and the whole clan.
The deeper thought about it, the more sweat was on Master Gu's forehead.
Xie Maozhuo used this kind of trickery to plot against him.
Master Gu gritted his teeth.
He really underestimated Xie Mao.
I thought that after the arrest of the spies before, Xie Mao was warned and would settle down.
Unexpectedly, Xie Mao backhanded and slapped him back.
Now, it's useless to think about it.
The official document is already on the way, and soon, he will pack his luggage, hand over official duties, and leave Jinju.
Master Gu ordered the two masters to sort out the official duties, and it was time to deal with them. Those who cannot be handled shall be handed over to the left-behind officials.
Then, Master Gu went to the backyard and went to the room to see Xie's.
After more than half a month of raising, Xie's body is already well.
The originally thin cheeks were plumped again, and they looked good and blessed.
Seeing Master Gu came to Shangfang, Xie stood up to greet him.
"How come the master came here so early today."
Master Gu said blankly: "I learned one thing after receiving a letter from the Hou Mansion."
Xie's laughed, "Could it be a happy event?"
Master Gu smiled indifferently, but his smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes.
"It's indeed a happy event. I'm going to be promoted for my husband."
"Ah! Congratulations, Master, Master Hexi." After a brief shock, Xie immediately became happy.
She asked: "I don't know where the master is promoted."
Master Gu said, "Yin in the capital of the capital."
Xie's was taken aback, followed by ecstasy again.
The capital! After more than ten years, was finally able to return to the capital.
Xie suddenly laughed, "It's great, the master got what he wanted and was finally able to return to Beijing."
Master Gu said calmly, "I would like to thank my uncle for this matter. If it weren't for my uncle's contribution, he wouldn't be able to return to the capital for his husband."
Master Gu's tone was light, but Xie was so keen, she could clearly hear the smell of gnashing her teeth.
The Xie family immediately reduced his smile and asked carefully: "Is the master unhappy to be able to return to the capital?"
Master Gu seemed to smile but didn't smile, and asked instead, "Why did you say Brother Gu wanted to help me return to the capital?"
Xie shook his head, "I don't know the concubine."
"Then do you know, what is the position of Jingcheng Fu Yin? What is it in charge?"
Xie tried to ask: "Gyeongseong Fu Yin should be like the governor of Jinju, in charge of the entire area of Gyeonggi."
Master Gu smiled, "Madam is right. Then I will ask you again for your husband, who is the biggest in the capital?"
Xie didn't hesitate, "Of course it's the emperor..."
Before he finished speaking, Xie had come to his senses.
Jingcheng Fu Yin sounded very grand, but this was not a light-hearted position.
Xie's was a little nervous, a little flustered, "Master isn't satisfied with this position?"
Master Gu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Big brother-in-law helped me. I can't thank you in time. How can I be dissatisfied."
Of course can't believe this.
Xie hurriedly said, "Master, this matter has nothing to do with my concubine."
Master Gu looked indifferent and said, "Of course I know this has nothing to do with you. However, Madam, why don't you try to help me so eagerly?"
Xie shook her head repeatedly, she knew the answer, but couldn't say it.
She took Master Gu by the hand, "Master, why are you so sure that the eldest brother did this? Maybe this is a misunderstanding. As the official of the East Palace, the eldest brother should not have the right to decide the appointment of Jingcheng Fu Yin."
Master Gu nodded, "You're right. The eldest brother is indeed not qualified to decide the appointment of Jingcheng Fu Yin. But don't forget, behind him is the prince, and behind the prince is the empress. Is this enough? "
Xie cried suddenly, "Master calmed down. Although the position of the capital of the capital city is not good, he returned to the capital anyhow.
Our young and old family has been eating sand in the Northwest for eight years.
Seeing that the children are getting older and reaching the age to talk about marriage, I feel anxious.
can’t just find a home in the northwest and take care of the children’s marriage.
Master, when you return to the capital, you beg your uncle and them to find a way to transfer you from the capital, okay? "
Master Gu coldly snorted, "This is the only thing that can happen until now. Before returning to Beijing, there is still some time to deal with it. In addition, for the sake of the children, I hope that you will spend less time with you when you return to Beijing. Brother's family is coming and going."
Xie nodded again and again, "Master, don't worry, I can see what the older brother is like. For the sake of the child, for the future of the master, I will never do anything for the older brother.
Except for the holidays and etiquette. At the rest of the time, I cut off contact with him, and never made trouble for the master. "
Master Gu stared at Xie, "I hope you can do what you say and don't let me down. Otherwise, for the future of the child, I also deserve to be cruel."
Xie's whole body trembled, "Master's words, concubine body should be kept in mind."
Master Gu got up and said, "Be prepared for things about returning to Beijing. Come back for your husband another day."
"The concubine dare not delay the master's business."
Xie sent Master Gu to the gate before returning to the room.
As soon as he returned to the room, Xie collapsed on the collapsed collapse, drained of all his strength.
Chunhe brought the health soup, "Mrs., drink some."
Xie waved his hand, "Set aside and drink later."
Chunhe put the soup bowl on the table and whispered: "Don't worry, madam, the attitude of the master is obviously much better than before."
Xie smiled, but it was a wry smile.
How much respect the master used to respect her.
Because of the eldest brother's matter, the master's attitude towards her plummeted.
Xie was very sad.
How much effort does she have to spend to let the master untie the knot.
All this is to blame on Big Brother.
Before, Xie's words to Master Gu that he cut off contact with Xie Mao were half sincere.
She was really miserable by her elder brother Xie Mao. was angry, annoyed, and resentful.
She also really made up her mind, and from now on, she will never help her elder brother Xie Mao again.
But now I am going back to the capital.
After returning to the capital, it is inevitable to meet.
When you meet, you have a relationship.
I'm afraid there will be some toss then.
Xie rubbed his eyebrows, "Chunhe, order to go down. After a few days, I have to go back to the capital, so that everyone can make preparations. If you want to take away, hurry up and pack it out.
In addition, ordered the sewing room to step up the winter clothes. In order to avoid the severe cold when returning to Beijing, everyone will get frostbite. "
"The slave and maid obeyed. Madam, do you have any more orders?"
Xie said: "The shops in the city and the farms outside the city must be dealt with as soon as possible."
Chunhe was surprised, "Doesn't my wife keep the shops and farms? I'm selling them at this time, I'm afraid they won't be able to sell at a high price."
Xie shook his head, "I don't keep the shop or the farm. What do I keep in this ruined place in the northwest."
After taking the money, when return to the capital, will rebuild the Zhuangzi and shop.
In addition, someone has to be sent to the academy to inform Rokuro so that he can return home soon. Since we are going back to the capital, there is no need to stay in the academy to study.
There are better academies and better masters in the capital. During the period before returning to Beijing, he just stayed in the mansion to study his homework. "
Chunhe responded, "The slave and maidservant will send someone to the academy to notify the sixth master. Madam, do you want to inform Mrs. Fu Yin about the return to Beijing?"
Xie nodded, "After the official document comes down, it will not be too late to notify. But by then, Mrs. Fu Yin should have heard from Master Fu Yin that we are going back to Beijing."
Things were roughly arranged, Xie's sigh of relief.
Finally was able to leave the northwest and return to the capital.
Although Master Gu and Xie Mao had a conflict, Xie's heart was still very happy.
I have been looking forward to it for so many years, and finally I am looking forward to today.
The news of returning to Beijing quickly spread throughout the province.
Some people are happy, some are sad.
Master Gu took his family back to the capital, and he certainly wouldn't take all the servants in the mansion.
Some people will definitely be fired.
And most of these people sign live contracts.
After Mrs. Gu's family left, they had to find work again.
Everyone of Gu's family had children with a smile.
After so many years, was finally able to return to the capital.
Thinking of the colorful world of Beijing, feel excited.
"Girl, good news, good news."
Xiaocui ran back to Zhilan Academy excitedly, "Girl, good news, I'm going back to the capital."
Gu Jiu was stunned, "What's going back to the capital? Make it clear."
Xiao Cui took a breath and said, "The slave servant heard that the master has been promoted and he is in the capital. Soon we will be able to return to the capital."
