Half a month passed.

Gu Jingxi resumed his daily duties at Dali Temple. He was punished for his lax management of the family and poor education of his children, so as soon as he could go out, he went to the palace to apologize to the emperor.

Emperor Jingwen Zhao Shuo liked Gu Jingxi very much. He was a pure minister and talented. If he did not punish him, other courtiers would be dissatisfied. He was not willing to punish him last time.

Emperor Jingwen also felt indebted to Gu Jingxi. After all, he was injured in order to save him. If Gu Jingxi could have a child of his own, he would not have to adopt someone else's child, and he would already have both children.

Emperor Jingwen looked at his close ministers. At first, Gu Jingxi was forced to marry a daughter-in-law, who was still his son's prospective fiancée. Such a ridiculous behavior was laughed at by the whole capital for a long time. It was not easy for him to mention it at first, but now it is He asked curiously: "Yao Ling and Madam seem to have a good relationship?"

Gu Jingxi looked slightly startled, as if he didn't expect that the emperor would ask such a question, but he said truthfully: "It has been a long time since we were in love, and now the piano and the harp are still singing in harmony."

Emperor Jingwen asked curiously: "To be able to penetrate Yao Ling's eyes, Mrs. Gu must have something special about her, right?"

In this regard, Gu Jingxi did not go into details. Talking too much would be bad for A-Yao. After all, it was A-Yao who made such a shocking request to marry him in the first place. He only said: "She is just a little girl, but she is gentle and virtuous, and knows right from wrong. Respect the elders and be kind to the younger ones."

At first glance, there is nothing special about her, just like that for ordinary ladies.

Emperor Jingwen said: "Marry a virtuous wife. If a woman can do this, she is a good woman."

Gu Jingxi's expression was gentle: "I thought so too, so I didn't think much about it at the beginning. We got along with each other with a normal heart. After getting along, we developed a friendship. This marriage has a good outcome."

Afterwards, the monarch and his ministers had a conversation, and Gu Jingxi resigned and went to Dali Temple for duty.

The officials of Dali Temple had not seen the Master of the Temple for half a month. Now when they saw the Master of the Temple come back, they all stepped forward to say hello and cast inquisitive glances.

The incident at the Changxing Marquis Mansion half a month ago, the day after the imperial edict was issued, had already spread in the capital. From the nobles in the palace to the little beggar, everyone heard about this scandal.

There are basically scandals in the back houses of wealthy families, but there is almost no such thing as a son plotting to frame his mother, and such disobedient and unfilial things. It is a rare occurrence in ten years. Gu Xiuming is already the heir apparent, no matter how angry Meng Jinyao is, he becomes himself. My mother should not have done such a thing to seek death, ruined her own future, was sentenced to exile, and was finally expelled from the clan. She really deserved it.

Even their Lord Si Qing is also embarrassed this time. In the past year, all the disgrace he has suffered has to do with Gu Xiuming. He is really guilty of raising such a son.

Qi Yunwen looked at him with deep resentment and said, "Yao Ling, you are really good. In the past half month, I have looked for you three times, but you have turned me away three times."

Gu Jingxi said solemnly: "The Emperor ordered me to stay behind closed doors and think about my mistakes. During this period, I should think about my mistakes seriously. It is not appropriate to see guests. Do you want me to disobey the imperial edict?"

Hearing this, Qi Yunwen rolled his eyes at him and lowered his voice: "Gu Yaoling, don't do this to me. I don't understand you yet? You must not be thinking about your fault, but spending time with your little wife. And I don’t even think about Shu anymore.”

Gu Jingxi looked up at him and acquiesced without explanation.

Qi Yunwen said angrily and funny: "You really value sex over friends. I told you that I wanted to see you in an emergency, but you ended up being so absorbed in the gentle country that you didn't even see me."

Gu Jingxi asked without changing his expression: "Then did you resolve the matter in the end?"

Qi Yunwen snorted softly and said: "It's been so many days, it must have been solved. If not, what's the point?"

Gu Jingxi glanced at him indifferently and replied: "Look, you can still solve the problem without me. That proves that you don't need me, but you are too dependent on me."

After Qi Yunwen heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to beat him up. He said angrily: "Who relies on you? You don't know how embarrassed I was that day. I was chased for several miles by several vicious dogs."

Hearing this, Gu Jingxi said matter-of-factly: "Could it be that if I sneak out to help you, I won't be chased by a dog? When it's time to be chased, I will still be chased. Unless I don't pass that place, it would be better for the two of us to be chased by a dog. What do you think about a man being chased by a dog?”

Qi Yunwen: "..."

He didn't feel very good. There was no one to accompany him in the embarrassment, and he always felt uncomfortable.

Qi Yunwen did not continue to dwell on the matter. He simply told him about the cases that Dali Temple had received in the past half month and the cases that had been solved. After talking about it, he suddenly said: "Yao Ling, you care more about your siblings than I thought, are you so angry this time that you become a beauty?"

Gu Jingxi did not deny that he cared about his little wife, and replied: "Xiu Ming's previous actions meant that he was not a qualified heir. This time the evidence is conclusive, with both personal and material evidence. Only then did he report to the emperor to depose him. How can he be where he is today?" It’s my own fault, even if the person framed is not A Yao, I will do the same thing.”

Qi Yunwen was startled after hearing this. This was in line with his friend's temperament. He was fair and strict, and only acted according to reason. Even if the unreasonable party was his son, he would not be partial to him. That's why the emperor transferred him from Hanlin Academy to Dali Temple. Dali Temple needed it. An official like him.

After a moment, Qi Yunwen asked curiously: "Now that Xiu Ming has been sentenced to exile, and I heard that he was also expelled from the clan, you and your siblings are helpless. Are you ready to adopt another child?"

Gu Jingxi shook his head gently: "No, I won't consider adoption for the time being."

Qi Yunwen was shocked, thinking that he was heartbroken by Gu Xiuming's incident, and was extremely disappointed with the adopted child. He did not dare to adopt another child for fear of being a white-eyed wolf again, so he asked again: "What about the title? We have to find an heir. "

Gu Jingxi smiled and said: "I don't think too much about the long-term. I just want to live a good life now. I am quite satisfied with the life now. Let's talk about the child later. Ayao is still young. She should be at the age to have fun. She should take care of her. What child?"

When Qi Yunwen heard this, he was stunned again, but looking at his free and easy face, he realized that he was not sad and disappointed because of Gu Xiuming, but just tolerant.

Gu Jingxi added: "I'll take a look at the files, you can do it yourself."

At Shen Shi, when officials were off duty, Gu Jingxi had nothing to do and went on duty on time.

He remembered that his wife had wanted to eat wontons last night, so he went to Lao Xu Wonton Shop, which he often went to before, and bought some wontons.

After returning home, Gu Jingxi saw the beautiful figure trotting towards him as soon as he entered the courtyard gate. He slowly raised the corners of his mouth, handed the wontons to the maid beside him, and opened his hands to hold them. Hold it in your arms.

After a while, Meng Jinyao threw herself into his arms, raised her head, looked at him with a bright smile, and said sharply: "Husband, I broke the chess game last night!"

Gu Jingxi praised without hesitation: "Ayao is so amazing."
