The Shao family had a mid-autumn luncheon, and everyone had different thoughts, but there was only one consensus.

The family members here are flattering Qi Qingxi, while the other table is trying their best to please Gu Yu.

However, after the whole meal, Gu Yu just said a few words to Shao Huaduo.

In addition to Qi Qingxi calling Shao Hua's fourth brother, Gu Yu has other things to discuss with Shao Hua.

Ever since he knew that someone was going to make trouble in the Northwest Conquest Army a few years ago, he has never let go of his secret surveillance of the West Army.

It's just that after being spotted by them that time, the person behind the scenes hasn't made any movement for a long time.

Unexpectedly, this time he sent people to the northwest to deal with the matter of Wu's father and son, but the people he sent overheard that those people started to act secretly again.

It was still aimed at Ningguo Marquis Shen Xing, but this time he wanted to pull him down from the position of the commander of the right army.

Gu Yu had already sent a letter to tell his uncle Shen Xing about this matter, but Shen Xing's reply told Gu Yu that he must not let the wind go out, and that he was going to fulfill the wish of the person behind the scenes, and resigned from his official position along the way.

Gu Yu knew his uncle's intentions.

If Shen Zheng really followed his aunt's wishes and married the daughter of a civil servant, then his uncle would not have to do so.

But what Shen Zheng is going to marry now is the daughter of the Empress Dowager's mother's family, Changxinghoufu's family, and the old Marquis Zhao of Changxinghoufu is the current governor of the Left Army.

How many people in the court would be happy to see such a marriage.

Not to mention that the Shen family has Shen Xing, the governor of the right army, in the palace, there is the emperor's favorite concubine, the concubine, Shen Shi, and under Shen's knees, there is Qi Wang Li Qining, who is quite loved by the emperor, and now he has the Marquis of Changxing. in law.

Although it looks like a lot of flowers, it has become the target of public criticism.

In the entire Ningguo Hou Mansion, except for the eldest son who has never been on the battlefield and has no military exploits, there is no place for reassurance.

What's more, Qi Ning's desire to compete for the position can be seen at a glance now, and the Shen family will be pushed to the forefront in the future.

Therefore, Gu Yu actually supported his uncle's brave retreat. Only in this way can the Shen family be preserved.

But he would never allow anyone to use trumped-up charges to tarnish his uncle's reputation and achieve this goal.

In the case of embezzlement of military pay, I don't know who came up with such a scheme, wanting to place such charges on a solid soldier.

This matter must be investigated clearly, but in order to avoid alarming the enemy, he cannot use people from the army.

After thinking about it, it turned out that this visit to Shao's house for a banquet allowed him to find a more convenient way than placing personnel in the army.

For a business person, the most important thing is to see all directions and listen to all directions.The Shao family's business in the Northwest is doing very well. If there is this way, it will be half the effort to inquire about the news in the Northwest in the future.

It's just that there are too many people at the dinner table, it's not the time to talk about it, and he and Shao Hua shouldn't get too close in the future, otherwise it will make people suspicious and hurt him instead.

So as soon as the dinner was over, Gu Yu took Qi Qingxi into the carriage and went back to the government office.

Seeing Gu Yu leaving in such a hurry, Qi Qingxi thought he had some urgent business to deal with.

Gu Yu didn't hide it from her: "Xi'er, something happened to my uncle."

Qi Qingxi was really taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately said: "What happened? Is it important?"

Gu Yu chuckled lightly, took her hand and placed it in his own; "It's not a big deal, but it's just that I might be a leisurely Lord in the future."

Thinking of the ending of the Shen family in the original book, Qi Qingxi felt that it might be a good thing to be a leisurely Lord.

However, according to the plot line of the original book, the dismissal of Marquis Ningguo Chen Xing should have happened after the male protagonist ascended the throne. Now Qi Qingqing has just broken off her engagement with Shen Zheng and has not yet married into the male protagonist’s mansion. Why is Marquis Shen about to be dismissed so early?

And what Gu Yu said was "something is going to happen", did he already know what would happen?

"What's going on?" Qi Qingxi shook Gu Yu's hand instead.

Gu Yu told Qi Qingxi about the conspiracy she heard: "Uncle means to take this opportunity to leave the court."

The current momentum of the Shen family is like a fire cooking oil and blooming flowers. If Marquis Shen can let go of his power at this time, everyone will think of the Shen family's good, and will not target the Shen family everywhere in the future.

"It's just that my uncle's resignation from Shen Zheng at this time must be to inherit the military position. He has never been in the military camp, and I don't feel relieved that he is alone in the army." Gu Yu said.

"You... are you going to give up literature and follow martial arts?"

Qi Qingxi was a little nervous. When she changed Gu Yu's medicine at the foot of the cliff last time, she saw a lot of sword wounds on his body. She knew that they were all wounds left on the battlefield. Yu went to the battlefield again.

Gu Yu smiled lightly and hugged Qi Qingxi in her arms, and kissed her lightly on the forehead: "You don't need to abandon literature and pursue martial arts, just stay in the capital and take care of him, but if we go back to the capital, we have to deal with many personnel matters, you It’s not so easy anymore.”

Qi Qingxi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it's not going to the battlefield.As for dealing with many personnel matters, how could there be so many relaxing moments in life, and she had already expected such a day and was ready for it.

But it has only been a year since Gu Yu became the prefect in Linzhou, so it may not be easy to transfer back to the capital at this time.

In fact, Gu Yu had already received the emperor's order to take up the position of censor of the capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but he didn't want to be involved in the turmoil in the capital, but now he had to go back just because of Shen Zheng.

"When Shen Zheng can stabilize the situation, let's come out again, okay?"

Qi Qingxi lay in Gu Yu's arms and nodded slightly. According to her current thinking, it doesn't matter who is the emperor as long as the people around her are safe and sound.

She stretched out her hand to lift the corner of the car curtain. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there will be a lantern festival at night. Now it is only afternoon, and the street is already full of crowds and vendors, and it is very lively.

Although she was a guest at someone else's house at noon today, Qi Qingxi had already prepared the reunion banquet in the evening, and she got into the kitchen as soon as she returned to the mansion.

Now that there are two maids, Ginkgo and Sequoia, to help, Qi Qingxi is really much more relaxed.

Hearing Gu Yu say that the new magistrate sent by the imperial court to take over is already on his way, and when the new magistrate takes office, they will return to the capital after handing over the affairs in the yamen. Qi Qingxi felt that it was necessary to talk to the two maids.

Although she has the contracts of prostitution of the two servant girls, if the two of them do not want to go to the capital with her, she will return the contracts of prostitution to them and let them go.

After hearing this, Ginkgo and Sequoia knelt on the ground and both expressed their unwillingness to leave.

"We are Miss's servant girls, so naturally we will follow Miss wherever she goes."

In fact, after getting along for so long, Qi Qingxi has gotten used to the two of them being by her side, and she is not willing to let them go.

Qi Qingxi helped them up: "Since you have decided to leave with me, you should prepare in the next few days, and we should leave soon."
