Quick Wear: Everyone knows I am a good person

"What's there to worry about?"

Shu Jiao rolled her eyes, "If you don't want it, I will! This box of gold, and this red jadeite inlaid with beads necklace, this violet gold inlaid with agate bracelet... this white jade plum blossom ornament... that twelve-panel Suzhou embroidery screen, all of them, give them to my room."

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and take out the one Jiaojiao has chosen and send it to Yixinyuan."

Guo Rongan stood beside her and said.

Hearing this, the servants no longer hesitated and hurriedly and carefully moved Shu Jiao's selected things to Yi Xin Courtyard.

Shu Jiao raised her hand, and Guo Rongan subconsciously took it.

The two walked back side by side.

He didn't even glance at Wen Rong who was counting the items nearby.

Wen Rong: ...

It's okay, I'm used to it.

Also good.

She doesn't ask for favor, and now that she has the power to manage the household, and her mother-in-law is there to help her with social interactions, so it's just a few things, so what's wrong with giving them to Yi Xinyuan?

Shu Jiao at least gave her wealth.

She seemed to vaguely hear what Shu Jiao said to Guo Rongan, but she couldn't hear it clearly. Wen Rong flipped through the booklet with her brows drooping.

On the other side, Shu Jiao curled her lips and said, "Every prince sent gifts, so it's our destiny to become rich. Every family has a share in this matter, so who are we colluding with? If one day only one prince sent a valuable gift..."

"Then the Emperor will be suspicious."

"Remember this, from now on you must follow the Emperor obediently. The so-called merit of following the Emperor is bullshit. Our family is already extremely wealthy, and if you try to follow the Emperor again, you will be the first one to be killed when you succeed."

It's not a matter of burning bridges after they have crossed the river or abandoning the dog after the rabbit has died.

It’s not that I’m afraid of failure, or that the new emperor is narrow-minded.

The Zhongwu Marquis’ Mansion has been in charge of the military for three generations, so Guo Rongan’s father definitely has a strong say in the army.

Even though you have been trying to be low-key these years, you can't really treat others like a pig!

The merit of saving the emperor is not a big deal, it only shows that you are loyal to the emperor and love the country. But if you want to successfully take the merit of following the emperor, how will the new emperor confer you a title?

If the reward is too little, what will the people of the world think? What will the meritorious officials think? If the reward is too much for other meritorious officials, it will be unfair, and what will the Zhongwu Marquisate think?

Give too much...

Considering the family background of Marquis Zhongwu, if he is not careful, his achievements will surpass his master. The worst thing to be feared is that he will directly rebel!

Therefore, for Guo Rongan's generation, the best strategy is to seek progress while maintaining stability, while betting on both sides is a way to death.

"Jiaojiao is really smart."

Guo Rongan praised without hesitation.

"That is."

Shu Jiao raised her head slightly, "Remember, just listen to me from now on."

"Okay, okay, I will definitely listen to you."

Guo Rongan's expression was one of indescribable submissiveness.

As soon as the two returned to Yixinyuan, Marquis Zhongwu sent someone to call Guo Rongan to the study.

Guo Rongan also went there obediently.

Marquis Zhongwu stared at him for a long while, then sighed, "Sit down. You will be taking up your post in the palace soon, and I have something to tell you. After you enter the palace, talk as little as possible, and don't offend anyone!"

The imperial guards were all talented men selected by the emperor from various major families.

It can basically be said that each one has its own background.

He was really scared. If Guo Rongan went there, he would offend everyone and he would have to clean up the mess afterwards!

"Do you treat the emperor like this?"

Guo Rongan asked doubtfully.

Marquis Zhongwu choked, "Of course not to the emperor... Well, the same, you should answer whatever the emperor asks, don't talk nonsense. Also! After entering the palace, no matter which prince gives you gifts or favors, don't accept them!!!"

"What about the Emperor?"

Marquis Zhongwu: ...

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why are you always talking about the Emperor? I'm talking to you about serious matters!"

Marquis Zhongwu gradually became irritable.

Guo Rongan lowered his head, his eyes rolling around -

It seems that his father is really getting old and his temper is getting worse.

"Anyway, after entering the palace, you just need to do your job honestly. Remember, there is only one true master in the palace, and that is the emperor. You cannot show the slightest intimacy with any of the princes!"

The Marquis of Zhongwu said earnestly, "Rong'an, our Marquis of Zhongwu Mansion is already full of honor and glory, and there is no need for you to fight for the future."

He is so scared!

Doesn't he know what kind of brain his stupid son has?

The princes who were raised in the poisonous insect farm in the palace are all cunninger than each other. Playing tricks on his son is as easy as playing tricks on a dog!

They have been maintaining stability since the beginning of the Zhongwu Marquisate, starting with his and Guo Rongan's two generations. This will give other families some time to develop, and also allow the royal family to no longer be wary of them. They can wait until Guo Changhong's generation makes another effort to fight for glory and nobility.

Marquis Zhongwu placed all his hopes on Guo Changhong.

He didn't expect Guo Rongan to do anything at all.

To put it bluntly, he and his wife spoiled Guo Rongan since he was a child. Although they really loved him, didn't they also consider the family?

only!

Now the plan is ruined!

How could he not worry about his silly son who was about to go to the palace and be surrounded by a group of cunning people?

But Guo Rongan didn't care about his father's mood at all. He waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Dad, I know. You don't need to say more. Jiaojiao has told me. Our family will follow the emperor wholeheartedly."

"I believe whatever the emperor says, and I will do whatever he tells me to do. Is that okay?"

Marquis Zhongwu: ...

“That’s true…”

"That's it."

Guo Rongan spread his hands and said, "Dad, is there anything else? If not, I'll leave."

"where to?"

"Let's go to the front yard. Jiaojiao asked me to go find a tutor for extra lessons."

Marquis Zhongwu couldn't help but clench his fists.

Who on earth is raising this son?

What?

Your Aunt Shu, you do whatever she tells you to do? Why didn't I see you listen to me and your mother so much when you were a child?

"Go."

After a while, Marquis Zhongwu waved his hand weakly, "Remember my words."

"understood."

Guo Rongan stood up immediately and walked out with big strides.

"How long have you not seen Changhong? You should go and spend time with him when you have time."

"Don't you have me here? Besides, he's already that old, does he still need me to accompany him? When I was his age, I took guards with me to the streets to bully... uh... play!"

The child is eight years old.

There are so many people taking care of him at home, what does he have to worry about?

At the age of five, he took his guards to the streets to fight with his enemies.

That kid was raised by his father like an 80-year-old man, and his temperament is nothing like his father's.

While thinking, Guo Rongan walked into the front yard and met the teacher whom he hadn't seen for several days.

The Master gave him a head-on blow.

Fortunately, Guo Rongan had a pretty good memory and remembered everything he had learned before. Although he stuttered during the test, he still managed to answer the questions.

After finishing his studies, he quickly walked back to Yixinyuan.

At this moment, everyone in Yi Xin Court was busy under Shu Jiao's command.

"Take down the curtains and replace them with the beaded curtains that just arrived today... Um... Put the colored glazed vase with eight treasures here. Bring over the huanghuali Luohan bed with Ganoderma lucidum and cloud patterns..."
