I heard that Quan Xiang wants to be good [rebirth]

Guo Hanru returned to Zhili Mansion at noon on the fourth day.

Guo Han is like a man, he is a first-class official and does his best with all his heart.For the past three days, he spent all his time by the river embankment, and he probably never rested for a day.When he came back, his whole body was dark and thin, and he looked lean and pitiful.

When he met Shu Changyu, the first thing he did was to clearly report the situation of the inspection, in every detail.Thinking that there is nothing wrong with the embankment, as the disciple of the person in charge of the embankment construction, Guo Hanru is also honored and eloquent.

After the official report was over, Guo Hanru took a pocket, which was full of some local specialties brought by Shu Changyu and Jing Mu.

"I didn't want to waste time to buy these raisins." Guo Han said to Shu Changyu with a shy smile. "However, my wife is in charge of the house. Every time I go out, I need to bring some gadgets for my wife, so I also bring some for Mr. Shu and the prince."

None of the things he gave were valuable.What to eat and eat fruits are all common things in those places.

It was the first time for Shu Changyu to see such an honest and honest official, and thanked him: "Master Guo has spent money."

For Guo Hanru, this is indeed a waste.

Therefore, when he left Zhili Mansion, Shu Changyu also sent people to the Antique Pavilion to buy two pieces of jewelry and gave them to Guo Hanru.

Guo Hanru refused to accept the original resignation, and Shu Changyu said to him: "This thing from Shu is not for your lord. The right should be given to Mrs. Guo by Shu, and thank her for taking care of Mr. Guo's housework, so that Mr. Guo can serve as a court official. Be loyal and have no worries."

Guo Hanru had no choice but to thank him when he heard the words, and said to Shu Chang with a smile: "When will Mr. Shu have a wife, I will return the courtesy when I get down."

Before Shu Changyu could speak, Jing Mu beside him hummed.

"Master Shu, do you know that Master Li from the south is gone?" Guo Hanru paused, suddenly thought of something, and asked Shu Changyu.

"...Master Li?" Shu Chang Yu Wenyan frowned. "...Which Master Li?"

Guo Hanru said, "That's Mr. Li who was sent to control the Yellow River."

Shu Changyu frowned: "Why did it suddenly disappear?"

Guo Hanru sighed, leaned closer to him, and said in a low voice: "It was only yesterday that news came back that he accidentally fell into the Yellow River and drowned. However, I heard that Mr. Li belonged to Mr. Qian from the Ministry of Industry." Fellow party. Master Qian fell off his horse, so he feared the crime and committed suicide."

Shu Changyu frowned.

"Your Majesty also heard that your majesty wants you to fill in the vacancy." Guo Hanru said. "Although I intend to do my best for His Majesty, my mother is still ill and it is not suitable to travel far. I will go there for three to five years. I have nothing to do. I am afraid that my mother will not be able to wait. Mr. Shu is still young, and he has made great achievements. It's a good time. The next official thought about giving this opportunity to Mr. Shu."

Speaking of this, Guo Hanru looked at Shu Changyu and said, "Master Shu, what do you think?"

Shu Changyu didn't make a sound.

After a while, Shu Zhangyu seemed to have not heard what he just said, and said with a smile: "Master Guo came back, the whole journey was full of dust, and he just stood here chatting with Shu. Why don't you go to the dining room at this time to welcome Mr. Guo? "

Guo Hanru saw that he had avoided the topic and rushed ahead again, so he sighed and followed behind him.

It was night, and Jing Mu arrived as scheduled.

When he came, the light in Shu Changyu's bedroom was still on.He was sitting under a lamp with a volume in his hand.

"Young Fu," Jing Mu said hastily when he saw the long metaphor. "You can't promise Guo Hanru."

Shu Changyu had been staring at the book, and was worried about this matter in his heart.His heart was in a mess, so when he raised his eyes, his eyes were a little dull.

Jing Mu only exchanged glances with him, then pulled him in from the couch, and pressed him into his arms.

Shu Changyu was stunned for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I haven't given the strategy book to the emperor yet."

Then, without waiting for Jing Mu to speak, he raised his hand and stroked Jing Mu's back comfortingly: "I have planned to give Guo Hanru the strategy book when he goes south. Although the floods are particularly serious this year, This book is more than enough to handle it."

Jing Mu almost thought he heard it wrong.

Shu Changyu looked up, and saw Jing Mu staring at him blankly.The emotions in those eyes ranged from dazed, to bewildered, to unbelievable ecstasy.

He pressed Shu Changyu into his arms, and hugged him tightly, as if he wanted to simply press this person into his blood and bones.

Seeing his appearance, Shu Changyu gave a helpless and warm smile, and raised his hand to hug Jing Mu.

Just like that, the two stood embracing each other under the light.For a long time, no one spoke.

Shu Changyu's shoulders were painfully wrapped by Jing Mu, so he raised his hand and pushed him.

Jing Mu pressed his face tightly against his hairline, and asked him with a smile, "Young Fu."

"Ok?"

"Do you love me too?" he asked. "The kind I love."

Shu Changyu's face was hot, he laughed softly, and pushed him: "Silly boy, you've been so sour all day - let go quickly, such a big neck hurts me."

Only then did Jing Mu let him go with foolish joy.

"Then Young Fu, what were you thinking about just now?" Jing Mu smiled and took down the book in his hand, flipped through it casually and put it on the table, then raised his hand to rub his shoulder.

Shu Zhangyu paused, and then said nonchalantly: "I was just wondering when Guo Hanru's mother died. It should be many years, but I forgot the exact year."

Hearing this, Jing Mu didn't doubt him, and said, "There are still eight or nine years left, and we can wait for Guo Hanru to come back. Although the old lady is not in good health, she can survive very well—it would be better if you let Guo Hanru go." He has been such a petty official all his life, he went to cure the Yellow River, but he did a great job, and he could earn his mother a royal order to come back."

Shu Changyu smiled and said: "Yes. If I go, I will have to bear the name of a master of high meritorious service when I come back."

The emotion on his face was hidden, even Jing Mu didn't see it.

He was sitting there just now, and he was naturally not thinking about Guo Hanru.

He was thinking that he had been able to smuggle time in this Zhili Mansion for Jing Mu these few days, but soon he would push the matter of river governance to others in order not to part with him.These practices of his are contrary to the education he received since childhood.

For your own happiness and selfish desires, you don't do what you should do.What is the difference between this and deserters who are greedy for life and fear of death on the battlefield?

However, when he saw Jing Mu, he uncontrollably put aside all those responsibilities and morals.Like an addict, knowing that this move is wrong, but still unable to control himself.

To express my heart, I am really poisoned.

The next day, the new governor of Zhili arrived, and they set foot on the road back to Beijing.

Before leaving, the new governor of Zhili cupped his fists and congratulated Shuchang Yu several times.

Shu Changyu was at a loss, so he asked him what he wanted to do.But the governor raised his eyebrows and smiled joyously, saying: "Master Shu has won the trust of the Holy One, I am afraid that in time, it will be a matter of time before he becomes prosperous."

What he said seemed to know something inside, so he meant something, and it was a bit like a flattery without thinking.Shu Changyu asked again, but the governor of Zhili didn't want to say anything more.

"When Mr. Shu returns to the capital, he will know." The governor said with a smile. "The next official would like to congratulate Shuda in advance. In short, it must be a good thing."

Shu Changyu set out on the road full of suspicion.

This road is much more peaceful than when we came here.They rushed all the way, and when they arrived in the capital, it was just dark and it was not yet curfew time.

Shu Changyu asked Jing Mu to go back first, and brought Guo Hanru into the palace to face the saint.

Emperor Qian Ning's body is surprisingly cold.Now that it's summer, he can't stand the cool breeze at night.When Shu Changyu arrived at the imperial study, he was sitting on the couch, wearing a thin fox fur, drinking a cup of ginseng tea.

Seeing the two of them coming, Emperor Qianning put down his tea and asked about the situation of the Zhili embankment.

He seemed to be in a bad mood these past few days because his health was deteriorating. He didn't look very happy when he heard what they reported.

After that, he asked about Sun Dazhi again.

Sun Dazhi is now locked in the imperial prison, and he will be executed only after the list of his crimes is clear.Inquiring now is just considering whether to kill him alone or implicate the whole family.

After all these matters were clarified, Emperor Qian Ning coughed tiredly twice, and sent Guo Hanru out first, leaving behind a long and long metaphor.

"Li Shilang who went to the south to control the river is dead, Shu Sanlang knows?" Emperor Gan Ning coughed a few more times, picked up the ginseng tea on the table and moistened his throat. "This year the Yellow River flooded very badly, and Shandong was in drought. Now the officials in Beijing and outside of Beijing are all ready to move, Shu Sanlang, I can't stand the chaos in the south anymore."

Emperor Qianning preferred...it was himself.

Shu Changyu bowed his head and knelt down, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, forgive me... I haven't finished writing the strategy book in my hand, I'm afraid... I can't help the Emperor to calm the flood, and I ask the Emperor to punish me."

Unexpectedly, Emperor Gan Ning snorted coldly when he heard his words.

"Punishment? Shu Sanlang, you are really capable now." Emperor Qianning said. "Naturally, you have to be punished. Shu Sanlang, how do you punish this crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Shu Changyu raised his head, and saw Emperor Qianning looking down at him.

"Your mother knew about the floods in the south, but she personally presented your book to me." Emperor Qianning said. "Shu Saburo, I can read your book, it's very well written."

There was a buzzing in Shu Changyu's ears.

Mother?Why did my mother suddenly...

Over there, Emperor Qianning continued to say: "Shu Sanlang, I know you are talented, and I also know that you don't like to take credit. But now I want to use you, and the community wants to use you. You Shu family sons, all of you are doing your best for the court. Do things. Even women can be independent. Why do you have so much timidity when you come here?"

"Shu Saburo, don't be in vain for Shu's family."
