A few days after returning home, Xie Zhaozhao went to the Xie Mansion again and told her grandmother that Gu Shaoyu had squeezed out a position for her in the Salt and Iron Bureau.

The old lady happily pulled Xie Zhaozhao and said to Mr. Xie, "She is a girl who has only been married for a few days, and she is already worrying about you, her uncle."

Mr. Xie was very excited. He had been working in the Ministry of Works for so many years and was now only an eighth-rank official. He had never participated in any imperial examinations and was now in his thirties and had accomplished nothing.

But he has one advantage: he is popular and can be friends with everyone.

"What opportunity did Zhao Zhao find for my second uncle?" Second Master Xie was very eager. If he could be given an eighth rank and change his position, he would be satisfied.

Xie Anfeng was in charge of the entire Xie family. He was too cautious, especially when it came to promoting his own family members. Xie Yu was a serious Jinshi, but now he was at the bottom of the Ministry of Revenue.

Mrs. Xie's eyes were bright and she was swallowing her saliva nervously.

The old lady didn't keep it a secret and said, "Gu Ge Lao will help you arrange for the Salt and Iron Bureau to be a Salt and Iron Judge. The rank is from the fifth rank. It's not easy to get into the Salt and Iron Bureau. When you go there, please don't embarrass us Zhao Zhao."

After the old lady finished speaking, Second Madam Xie rushed to Xie Zhaozhao like an arrow, hugged her, and said excitedly: "Zhaozhao, you have helped your second uncle a lot! Your second uncle and I will be grateful to you for the rest of our lives."

Mr. Xie was so happy that his tail was sticking up. He was actually transferred to the Salt and Iron Bureau, a department that many people were eager to get into!

He was suddenly given a fifth-rank official position. Hey, a fifth-rank official is still considered a fifth-rank official.

This is the qualification that only those who have passed the imperial examinations in the two lists can obtain after five or six years of hard work.

My nephew's husband got it done for him with just one word.

"Zhao Zhao, don't worry. I will never embarrass you. I will be careful and diligent in everything I do." Mr. Xie promised, "I will never make mistakes, and I will have good relationships with people so that no one can gossip about me."

Xie Zhaozhao just pursed her lips and smiled. Since her uncle and aunt were happy, she didn't want to say anything more.

When Gu Shaoyu offered her this position, she had already thought that her second uncle would be the most suitable candidate.

Second Uncle is just like Yin Jinan and the others. He is the second in command in the mansion. He has no resources or favors and is a nobody.

Such a person will be more grateful once you give him some opportunities.

Second Uncle is very good to Xie Yu. He is good at dealing with people and at smoothing things over. It is best to place such a person in the Salt and Iron Administration, the department with the fattest money bag. Even if someone is dissatisfied, he can fool others into not hating him.

My brother is going to be the head of the Xie family in the future. With the concerted efforts of these family members, the Xie family will not fall apart.

When she returned from the Xie Mansion, Second Madam Xie accompanied her for a long distance, filling a whole cart with gifts, and all that was missing was a carved plaque to offer to her.

When I returned to the Marquis' Mansion and arrived at Qingpu Courtyard, I saw Nanxing guarding outside the bedroom door.

"The elder is in there?" Xie Zhaozhao was very surprised. Has he come back so early?

"Yes, he's inside." Nanxing didn't know what the elder was doing inside. He ran out after the court session at noon and brought back a bunch of things.

He moved things into the house and didn't know what he was doing.

Xie Zhaozhao entered the house and heard a thumping sound coming from the swimming pool. She knocked on the door and someone inside asked in a muffled voice, "Zhaozhao?"

"Well, I'm back."

"Wait a minute, I'm not done yet."

Is this assembling something?

It was a hot summer day, and she was sweating during her trip to Xie's house, even though there was ice in the house and in the carriage.

I was about to change clothes in the bedroom, and when I lifted the curtain, I suddenly saw a brand new cloth bag on the pillow. I opened it and saw a soft underwear inside.

Soft and delicate, but it is a private garment that cannot be shown to outsiders.

Her face suddenly turned red and she quickly stuffed the clothes back into the bag.

Before I had finished changing my clothes, I heard the door of the swimming pool open and Gu Shaoyu walked out.

He was in his own yard, the weather was hot, and he was only wearing a dark blue silk shirt and white thin silk trousers. His long hair was simply tied with a yellow headband.

The open chest reveals the white, broad and strong pectoral muscles.

Although he was a civil servant, he was skilled in riding and shooting and had a strong physique.

It was the first time that he stood in front of her in such a casual manner, with a confidence that came from the bottom of his heart. He did not look sloppy at all, but only made people feel that their blood was boiling and their nose was about to bleed.

It is so beautiful that one can’t take their eyes away.

Her face immediately turned red and she asked, "What are you doing?"

Gu Shaoyu went to the bedroom and took the bag, then took her hand and said, "Come over and see what I put in it."

When Xie Zhaozhao saw him taking the bag, alarm bells went off in his heart, and he said, "I just came back from outside, I'm sweating all over!"

"What are you afraid of?" he asked with a smile.

Xie Zhaozhao didn't respond to him, always feeling that he had bad intentions.

When I entered the swimming pool, I saw a tall iron beam as thick as an arm installed on the original empty space.

There is a rope hanging under the beam. Isn't this a tall swing?

However, the rope used to hang the swing was not a thick hemp rope, but a cowhide rope covered with lace.

"Come on, come up and try it." Gu Shaoyu took her hand, "I've been pretending for most of the day, and I've tried it myself, it's very strong."

"What made you want to install a swing indoors?"

"It's too hot outside."

He took off her clothes while talking: "It's so hot, why are you wearing so many clothes?"

After taking off all her clothes until she was left with only her underwear, Xie Zhaozhao refused to stop. Even though they were husband and wife, she could not stand being naked in front of her husband.

Gu Shaoyu covered his eyes with a ribbon and tied it behind his head, saying, "Is this okay? I can't see. Can you put on this new dress and show it to me?"

"What's the point of changing it? You can't see it!"

"Aren't you shy? Don't worry, I won't peek!" He begged, "Little sweetheart, change it and let me take a look, okay? I spent a lot of effort to get it, if you change it, I will take a look, okay?"

"Don't change!"

"Little boy!"

"Not good..."

"Little boy..."

Finally changed it.

The man blindfolded her and held her on the swing, which flew up.

After a few circles of rising and falling, the uneasiness in my heart gradually dissipated.

The swing swung higher and higher, and before I knew it, my clothes were gone and my hair was tangled.

Butterflies are flying and insects are humming.

Only the swing sways rhythmically, like a fluttering butterfly in spring!

Lu Nonghua is thin, light sweat and light clothes.

This day, until the end of the You hour.

After taking a short nap, Xie Zhaozhao reluctantly got up and called Yuanyuanman to change clothes.

"No need to get up." Gu Shaoyu held her down gently and politely. Seeing those marks, his eyes shrank. "Just ask Yuanyuan to bring the food to the bedroom."

He had changed into casual clothes and his hair was combed meticulously. A word popped into her mind: hypocritical!

However, she didn't have time to argue with him and said, "I just came back from Xie's house and haven't paid my respects to my mother yet."

The proper etiquette must be there.

Gu Shaoyu did not stop him. It was dusk and the sun was setting, so it was good to get up and take a walk.

Xie Zhaozhao asked Yuanyuan to bring a box of snacks to the old lady's Ci'enyuan.

Coincidentally, Tu and Xie Xiangxiang were both there.
