The development of the Gu and Li families here has become more and more stable, even faster than when they were suppressed by the first emperor in the capital.
The capital side gave a few more official positions in Guangdong and Fujian, both civil and military officials. Although they are low-ranking and the official positions are not high, they are much stronger than being severely suppressed before.
This can be regarded as reciprocation from relatives in the capital. Letters say that the situation in the capital is not very good. The new emperor has recruited several beauties into the palace. At the longest time, he didn't go to the court for half a month, and all the officials were at a loss.
Now everyone misses the Li family and the Gu family very much, especially when the two old men were here, and the prime minister died.
Every day, the officials don't know whether they will die tomorrow or whether they will be squeezed out.
The people from aristocratic families and Qinggui began to be excluded, and everyone was very nervous. The court began to woo and line up everywhere. The sons of the eldest prince were not too big, and the oldest started to line up when he was only thirteen years old. The position dispute, in short, is a mess.
This is why many low-level officials, Gu and Li, can get a chance, because the emperor doesn't care about things, and the officials in the capital are also trying to find ways to stand in line to win connections. , It's not that I didn't expect it, but it's inconvenient.
Now he can only take a tortuous path, first win over the Gu and Li families, and occupy a corner position, which is better than being liquidated later.
Boss Li, Grandpa Gu and others began to frequently assign people to the outskirts of Fandi to serve as magistrates. Almost all capable uncles and uncles in the family got a good opportunity and were sent out.
It was the direct descendants who remained in Fandi. This time almost all the collateral descendants of the Gu family left, and the clan members were very grateful for the kindness of the direct descendants.
In fact, everyone understands that when the war is fought, the direct line chooses to stay to take responsibility and danger, leaving the chance of survival to the collateral lineage children, leaving incense to continue to survive outside, and if there is any danger, the children stay outside and do not have to come back .
Even Uncle Thirteen was dispatched by Gu Lei to serve as an official in Guangdong.
There is still a good chance this time. There are no suitable people in the family, and the rest are half-grown children, who cannot be released to serve as officials.
Li Yu thought of someone, "Xu Heng."
"Well, how did you think of him?"
"Instead of giving others a chance, it's better to give yourself a chance. Lin Yue is also considered to be raised by the Gu family. Why don't you give Xu Heng a chance. He also represents a poor family. Luo Hang can also consider it in the future. As long as they treat his wife well, everything else is fine. , I can afford to take care of my family."
She smiled confidently.
Grandpa Gu thought for a while and said, "Since you are willing to praise her, you can consider it. Anyway, Yue'er is also considered a child raised by the Gu family, and she should be protected."
When the Gu family was running a jewelry workshop, Lin Yue was the first to place an order, running around to publicize the order, and helped a lot.
The sons trained, and Lin Yue gave things all year round. Pigs, cattle, sheep, clothes, cotton clothes, cotton trousers, and armor have never been broken. They have been given away for many years. They really help the Gu and Li families. They are more sensible than before and know how to reciprocate. , will be a man.
"Xu Heng is still capable. He did a good job of making documents for me. Luo Hang can also do this job. He doesn't need so many people. Why don't you give Xu Heng the opportunity. If you have the opportunity, you must first stick to yourself." .”
"Okay, let's make a decision."
Gu Lei specially called Xu Heng to talk.
"I called you here to discuss something. There is a magistrate position in Fuzhou. I want you to go. Would you like to go?"
Gu Lei was not unhappy, but smiled gratifiedly, thinking of his family first, he is a responsible person, not an official fan.
"You can take your cousin and children, and leave your younger brother to continue studying. There are people in the yard, and he is fifteen years old. He should also learn to live independently and take care of household chores. If he does well after two years, he should say kiss."
"Didn't my cousin buy him a house and a farm? It's not a big deal for him to run a shop for his elder brother and sister-in-law. Don't you want to spend so much effort?"
Gu Lei has also met Xu Jin, he is a very steady kid with good knowledge, worthy of training.
"Of course not. Brother Jin has been learning general affairs from me. I'm afraid he won't be able to resist alone."
Xu Heng hesitated a little.
"Go back and discuss it with your cousin. There are me and your sister-in-law here. It's not a big problem, it's a rare opportunity."
"Okay, big brother, then I'll go back and discuss with Yue'er."
"OK."
Xu Heng went home to discuss this matter with Lin Yuexu Jin.
Xu Jin was the first to speak, "Brother, you go, I am watching at home, besides, my cousin is not good at doing well, she is so good, don't worry, the stewards don't worry, and the cousin will not be shot to death." They're the ones to blame."
Li Yu often comes to Lin Yue's house to give gifts and to see his daughter-in-law. He takes good care of Lin Yue's family and never forgets them.
Lin Yue also smiled, "Go, I'll go with you, and I'll take my daughter with me."
"Okay, since you all agreed, let's go together, Brother Jin, you stay to watch the house and study, and when you come back from the exam next year, I can marry you."
"Okay, brother and sister-in-law, you go ahead, I will take care of the house."
Xu Jin nodded sensiblely, knowing that his elder brother and sister-in-law are good to him, and they also help take care of the children with household affairs and settle accounts on weekdays, and help with work as much as possible.
The Xu Heng brothers that Wang found for Lin Yue have good personalities. Lin Yue is still very satisfied with her current life.
After the discussion, Xu Heng replied to Gu Lei, agreeing to take up the post.
Gu Lei sent the Gu family to **** them to the post, and Lin Yue took the child with her. She said that she was abandoned by her mother once, and she was left behind in the Gu family. She would take her daughter with her wherever she went, and others could dislike her. Her daughter is useless, she can't dislike her.
She hopes that her daughter can learn from Li Yu, be brave and strong, and no matter what kind of difficulties she faces, she can go forward and be indomitable.
This is what she has learned from Li Yu and this troubled world over the years.
Li Yu supports her decision this time, and is also very pleased that Lin Yue is getting stronger and stronger, especially as a mother, she understands the principles of human relationships and is more considerate than before.
After Xu Heng left, the Gu family took care of Xu Jin more. Li Yu still attends regular classes in the academy, so he can take care of him nearby without worrying too much.
With Li Yu and Gu Lei here, the manager of Linyue Shop dare not play tricks. This is not what it used to be. Gu Lei is no longer the foolish young man he was back then, he is already the head of the clan.
Luo Hang replaced Xu Heng and took over his job as Gu Lei's clerk. Xu Heng's promotion also encouraged him. As long as he lives a good life and works hard, he doesn't have to worry about his future. The Gu family can afford it.
