Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

The old lady said, "I didn't ask you to assign them high positions. Just a job that can support themselves is enough."

"They come to the capital to look for jobs, but they are afraid that they are unwilling to do the hard and tiring work, right? Living in the capital is not easy. For positions below the sixth rank, the salary is OK for daily living, but it is difficult to buy a house. Where will they live in the future?"

In the capital, buying a house is the dream of many small officials.

Where do my uncle and his family live? Do they plan to live in the mansion for a long time?

During the day, the old lady only thought about how to find jobs for her nephews and grandnephews, but she never thought about what if they planned to live as a family in the Marquis' Mansion?

Gu Boyu immediately shouted, "Mother, you can't be so foolish as to allow them to stay in the mansion. There are more than 50 people in their group, and if they are all treated as masters, Tu, the head of the household, will not be able to manage it."

The old lady immediately thought of something, looked at Gu Shaoyu, and said, "When it comes to household chores, neither Tu nor Lu are as capable as Xie. Can you let Xie take over the household chores? Mother is old and can't afford to worry about it anymore."

Gu Shaoyu refused without a second thought: "It's enough to have the eldest sister-in-law in charge. The third house is neither the eldest nor the noble, so it doesn't make sense for the third house to be in charge of the household."

The old lady said, "Which family is in charge of the household expenses is up to mother, and your eldest and second sisters-in-law will never say anything."

"Mother Xie doesn't like to meddle in other people's business. Mother, please keep the status quo." Gu Shaoyu stood up and said goodbye. "Mother, I'm tired after a day's work. I have to attend the court tomorrow. I'll go back first."

After stepping out of the door, he turned back and decided that some things had to be put on the table and made clear.

"Mother, I have already handed over all my salary, shop and land. If we use them sparingly, the mansion can still get by. I will never touch Xie's dowry, so don't even think about it. I hope you will save some face for me."

After he finished speaking, he left.

Gu Zhongyu asked the old lady in a daze: "Mother, what does Third Brother mean by this?"

The old lady couldn't save herself, and after coughing for a while, she angrily said, "What do you mean? Isn't it because you two are not up to the task?"

Gu Zhongyu was confused. What does this have to do with me?

"Mother, so many people have waited their entire lives for a vacancy, and there is no one like you in the entire capital, and you asked my third brother to arrange eleven for them all at once!

In my opinion, mother, you shouldn't accept such a request. If someone reports my third brother because of this and brings him down, our entire mansion will fall. When the time comes, you will see that these relatives will run away faster than anyone else!"

Gu Zhongyu was a military official who could not make any achievements himself, yet he forced his third brother to arrange for outsiders? He was still very dissatisfied.

The old lady was so angry that she pointed at Gu Zhongyu and said, "You are useless and you don't even ask your third brother to help you. Is it in vain that I have raised you?"

"Mother, my third brother is capable, but that's because of his own progress. If you force him to make arrangements for us brothers or our nephews, that makes sense.

But you arranged for cousins, nephews, and other relatives, how far away is that? Forget about him, I don't even want to worry about this." Gu Zhongyu continued.

The old lady grabbed the soup bowl on the table and threw it over: "You don't want to worry? You want to worry, but do you have the ability?"

Gu Zhongyu was unable to dodge and got hit on the head. He was so angry that he stood up and walked away: "I don't care, you can do whatever you want, I don't have the ability anyway."

When Gu Shaoyu returned to Qingpu Courtyard, Xie Zhaozhao had not yet gone to bed, and was going over accounts with Yuanyuan under the lamp.

The dowry shop and the farm were both the most profitable ones chosen by Xie Yu for her. The shopkeepers and accountants were all very good.

Hearing that Gu Shaoyu had returned, she hurriedly asked, "Do you want to have some more food?"

Gu Shaoyu said, "Bring me some soup so I can accompany His Majesty to toast those old people. I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach."

Xie Zhaozhao quickly asked Yuanyuanman to bring a bowl of mung bean porridge. Gu Shaoyu drank it, leaned back in the chair, and pinched his eyebrows.

"You are not feeling well, so just give your relatives in your hometown some face, and don't take on too much. I don't owe them any favors."

"it is good."

Xie Zhaozhao told him to relax and massaged his shoulders.

Gu Shaoyu had been sitting for a long time reviewing documents and felt some discomfort in his neck and shoulders.

Xie Zhaozhao started by pinching his shoulders little by little from his neck. His shoulders were very thick and the acupoints were a little stiff, so she had to use force to pinch them open.

After pinching it for a while, he gently hit it with his fist.

Gu Shaoyu grabbed her hand, kissed it, and said, "Don't pinch it, don't get tired."

"Then sit down and I'll comb your hair for you."

Xie Zhaozhao untied his hair, combed it carefully, and then combed it carefully from the scalp.

For fear of hurting him, I used my ten fingers to comb his scalp starting from his hairline, little by little, and pressed some acupoints on his head with my fingertips.

Sure enough, she pressed like this for less than half a minute, and then she heard the sound of Gu Shaoyu's even breathing.

He has fallen asleep.

Xie Zhaozhao continued to press for a while, then quietly called Yuanyuan to come over to help and lift him onto the bed.

Yuanyuan had just approached and hadn't touched him when he woke up, suddenly opened his pair of black eyes, and shot out terrifying cold arrows.

Yuanyuan was startled and said quickly, "Lord, it was Madam who asked me to help carry you to bed."

"Well, thank you, but that's not necessary." Gu Shaoyu stood up by himself and Yuanyuan immediately left.

Xie Zhaozhao said distressedly: "You are tired all day, go to bed quickly."

He was indeed tired, so he lay down obediently, and insisted on pulling her along: "I'm used to having you by my side, sleeping together."

The next morning, Gu Shaoyu got up on time to attend the court and instructed Bei Chen to keep a close eye on the yard and not let anyone in.

Xie Zhaozhao didn't have any serious illness, she just had her period. She still got up early, dressed Gu Shaoyu and tied his belt. Although these were small chores, she did them very devoutly.

Gu Shaoyu also accepted it with pleasure. He opened his hands and watched her tie the belt for him. He felt warm and fragrant and was very happy.

She had changed a little after all.

He asked for her.

She married him at the behest of her parents and the matchmaker.

Her upbringing and etiquette made her a very qualified mistress, even someone who could treat him as an equal.

But he was not satisfied with that, what he wanted was her heart, without any doubt or distance, without anyone in between, just a heart that beat in the same rhythm as his.

He wanted her to laugh from the bottom of her heart, to have light in her eyes, and to have endless love for him.

He did not hide himself in front of her, revealing his real self, hoping to get a real her in return.

After watching her fasten her belt, he gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead and left.

Yuanyuan said, "Miss, I haven't been to South City for a long time. I guess Xiaoxin has a lot of information backlog. Should I go there first?"

Xie Zhaozhao just remembered and said, "Go quickly."

Yuanyuan came back in less than an hour. She sent the horse to the stable and hurried back to Qingpu Courtyard.

"Miss, Guan Yingying went to Nanzhao Kingdom a month ago."
