Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

What does it look like for other officials when they resign and return to their hometowns?

The soldier guarding the gate stroked his chin and began to recall.

Of course, it would be a magnificent convoy, plus servants, maids, wives, concubines, and most importantly, guards.

Everyone knows that being an official can make a lot of money, and of course bandits know that too.

So this guard is the most important.

Otherwise, if you are not careful, all your life’s hard work will be wasted.

Looking at the light donkey cart of Lord Gong, the guard nodded and said, "Lord Gong is really an honest official."

"That's it!"

On the road outside Beijing,

Xu Jinyu, Princess Changle and Wei An squeezed into a carriage.

The carriages at the back were all fitted with newly made glass.

When Princess Changle heard that this glass could be installed on the window, she decided not to wait even a quarter of an hour.

He also brought the workers from Xu Jinyu's workshop back to the capital, preparing to install the glass himself.

Now the two of them were occupying one side of the carriage, staring at each other, neither of them giving in.

"Install it for me first! This glass is mine!" Xu Jinyu said righteously.

"Let me install it first. After all, I am your elder, please let me go."

Princess Changle was not confident, but she relied on her seniority.

As for Wei An, he just huddled in a corner and ate melon seeds.

Anyone who has ever surfed the Internet knows this kind of scenario.

If he gets in, he'll be cannon fodder.

The two women could turn around and take care of him.

In order to avoid being cannon fodder, Wei An decided to just stand aside and watch the fun.

"What elder? Look at your smooth face and your slender waist. Do you have the nerve to call yourself an elder?"

"At least you should be a middle-aged woman and act like an elder in front of me."

This compliment...

Princess Changle said that she accepted it, but her principles could not be shaken.

"Taian, you see, I just recovered from my illness, and I am really afraid of the cold."

The expression on Xu Jinyu's face relaxed. Princess Changle's health had indeed just recovered.

Princess Changle saw Xu Jinyu's expression and knew that he had softened his heart, so she quickly put in some effort.

"or·····"

"I, Gong Weiyi, pay my respects to Princess Changle."

Princess Changle's words were interrupted by a voice.

"Who!"

Just when she was about to obtain the first right to use the glass, she was suddenly interrupted and Princess Changle impatiently lifted the curtain.

"Lord Gong."

Seeing that the person who interrupted her was Lord Gong from the Ministry of Personnel, Princess Changle's expression relaxed.

This Lord Gong was a well-known honest official in the capital. He did not even bring his own family with him to the capital. There was only himself and an old servant in his family.

They were even more frugal in their lives. Who has ever seen an official uniform that was patched up?

At least Princess Changle had only seen it on Lord Gong, and it was Lord Gong who sewed it himself.

Lord Gong is a man of noble character, so I have to give him some face.

"Master Gong, it's freezing cold, what are you planning to do..."

Gong Weiyi twisted his beard and laughed heartily, "I am no longer Lord Gong. I resigned from my post and returned to my hometown. When I saw the princess' carriage, I came to say goodbye."

Looking at the lonely donkey cart behind Gong Weiyi, Princess Changle deeply admired Mr. Gong's integrity.

"Lord Gong is returning home in this donkey cart, which is too simple."

【Gong Weiyi, Mr. Gong. 】

[The Minister of Personnel, the Minister of Examination and Rectification, resigned in the middle of winter. This shows that he is really not afraid of the cold. 】

Why does this voice sound so familiar?

Gong Weiyi frowned, as if he had heard this somewhere before.

Xu Jinyu!

Gong Weiyi almost jumped up.

Why is this ancestor here?

Hurry up, walking too slowly won’t work.

"Shi Liu, go get a sweater for Lord Gong." Princess Changle turned around and instructed her personal maid.

When I turned around, the old man in front of me had a serious look on his face.

"Princess Changle, it's getting late. I'll take my leave~~~"

Then he ran towards his donkey cart with nimble legs and feet, and flicked the whip, and the donkey cart started moving.

Princess Changle was confused and puzzled...

So this Lord Gong came to her purely to say hello?

And what are you doing in such a hurry to greet me?

[Hahaha... In order to show off his integrity, Gong Weiyi only wore a linen shirt in the middle of winter and showed it off in front of people he knew and didn't know.]

【Let everyone see his thin clothes and the donkey cart without luggage. 】

【Let everyone believe that Mr. Gong Weiyi is indeed an honest official. 】

[He even went to Princess Changle to show off his integrity? He also planned to show Princess Changle his patched sleeves and shoes that showed his big toes.]

【Even Emperor Xuan was so moved that he rewarded him with a hundred gold coins.】

[Stingy guy, you are so stingy every time you reward me. ]

No matter when, Xu Jinyu never forgot to complain about Emperor Xuan's stinginess.

Princess Changle frowned.

What Xu Jinyu meant by this was that Lord Gong's integrity was just an act.

But, how is it possible!

Lord Gong really has no money.

Gong Weiyi's whip was swinging even faster.

No matter how careful they were, they couldn't prevent Xu Jinyu and Princess Changle from being together.

At this moment, Gong Weiyi deeply hated himself for choosing a donkey cart. If it was a horse carriage, it should be fast enough.

【Why did you run away so quickly? 】

Why did you run away so quickly?

Of course I know that Princess Tai'an Xu Jinyu is also here.

Princess Changle turned around and looked at the culprit expressionlessly.

The culprit was so addicted to the system that he had no idea that he had scared an old man away.

But Princess Changle said hello angrily.

What does it mean to show integrity in front of me? Could it be that this Lord Gong is not really honest?

Wei An had sensed something already, so he grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into Xu Jinyu's hand, waiting for the gossip!

As a modern person, I am deeply influenced by TV dramas. People like these who claim to be honest all day long are either truly honest and set an example, or they are extremely corrupt.

[No wonder he runs so fast since he's wearing such thin clothes. 】

[If you don't run faster, you'll have to see a doctor tonight. ]

Xu Jinyu raised his chin.

[With Lord Gong's age and Daqian's medical skills, a cold could kill him if he's not careful.]

The inner guard who secretly mixed in with Xu Jinyu's guards: Sir Xu, don't be so cruel!

We'll be in position right now.

But, the next moment...

[Princess Changle is still worried that Lord Gong will be cold. She doesn't care about him. There is a luxurious cruise ship waiting for him in Hengshui.]

[This was paid for by Mr. Gong's own son, who came to welcome his father who had pretended to be poor his entire life.]

【I want to let my dad enjoy it. 】

Hengshui is less than a hundred miles away from the capital city. It is the closest and most prosperous port to the capital city. The transportation of large quantities of grain depends entirely on the Hengshui port.

If you want to rent a luxury cruise ship at the Hengshui Wharf, you can't do it without one thousand taels.

Even if they are officials' wives, they would not rent this kind of cruise ship unless they are wealthy.

So Lord Gong is pretending to be poor.

Princess Changle waved her hand, and two guards ran out from behind the carriage and chased after Gong Weiyi.

Xu Jinyu's voice came from afar, and Gong Weiyi ran faster.

While running, he cursed his unlucky son. He had been pretending to be poor all his life, so couldn't he pretend to be poor in the last step?

He was about to leave the capital, and the future would be vast with a huge amount of money, so he could live freely.

If that doesn't work, you can go to two other countries.

As long as you have money, you can be happy anywhere.
