Zhou Jin looked at his father, shook his head and laughed.

I never thought that my father, who is so wise and brave outside, would be like this at home!

But it’s better this way, at least the mother can talk about it, which is better than keeping it in her heart.

Anyway, this is his father and mother's business. He won't worry about it anymore as he will have a younger brother or sister soon.

He has a wife, his own family, and perhaps soon he will have his own children.

He must work hard to make his wife honorable in the future and make his children proud of him instead of looking down on him.

Zhou Jin returned to Zizhu Garden.

Gu Xiling was reading a book with a peaceful look on her face.

He walked to Gu Xiling, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you reading this book too?"

Gu Xiling looked up and saw Zhou Jin coming back, clipping a delicate bookmark made of leaves into the book, "Why can't I read it?"

"A gentleman does not speak of strange and supernatural things. There are no ghosts in the world. Do you believe in these things?" Zhou Jin chuckled and reached out to tidy up the loose hair on Gu Xiling's temples.

Gu Xiling raised her eyes, "There are no gods or ghosts here, but metaphysics, the five elements and gossip, and feng shui. If you say it is useless, why do people look for a good feng shui site when they are buried? From ordinary farmers to government officials, who doesn't do this?"

"In addition, when building a house, you also need to choose a good site and consider Feng Shui. You also need to consider other things when building. There may be some metaphysical elements here, but that's because there may be many things that cannot be explained, so I can only express it this way."

"But I believe that as development progresses, people's knowledge of external things will continue to improve, and they may have different interpretations and understandings of these things. In short, we cannot deny them all, as that would be unfair to our predecessors."

Zhou Jin raised his eyebrows, "Okay, you have a point. I have already told my father what we discussed just now. My father agrees with the Reading Tower. At the same time, he also thinks it is a good idea to combine agronomy and mathematics and include them in the imperial examination."

Gu Xiling smiled and said, "These things are beneficial to the country and the people, but there will also be people who are not happy about it, so we must not rush into it and act with caution. Of course, we must also bring His Majesty and the Crown Prince over, at least they can lean on the big tree to enjoy the shade."

"Yes." Zhou Jin agreed, "By the way, my father came back and said that His Majesty has agreed to Xie Jin's appointment to the north."

Gu Xiling frowned, "It seems that it cannot be changed. It depends on God's will. However, as a fifth-rank general, he will not lead too many troops and cannot affect the overall situation."

Zhou Jin nodded, "I hope so. Lai Fu should have gone to Beirong by now, and I don't know how he is doing now."

"No news means good news." Gu Xiling comforted, "Lai Fu is a blessed man at first glance. Don't worry, his fate has changed. With the help of Changning Marquis Mansion and the full support of Kangguo, he will surely succeed."

In her previous life, Gu Xiling didn’t know how Lai Fu died, but this matter was closely related to Beirong, or Gu Xirong.

Otherwise, Xiulan would not hate Gu Xirong so much that she would not hesitate to kill Gu Xirong's young son.

In the previous life, Kang State suffered a snowstorm in the north and was unexpectedly invaded by the Northern Rong. It was indeed a bit embarrassing at the beginning, but it won in the end.

If we prepare in advance and take advantage of the situation, we will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

There is no doubt about this.

Zhou Jin sighed, "I hope so. I never thought Lai Fu would have such good fortune. It's really surprising. The next time I see Lai Fu, he will be Prince Lai Fu."

Gu Xiling shook her head and chuckled, "No, it should be King Lai Fu. Xiulan is accompanied by Nanny Yuan, and she is in good condition."

"That's good!" Zhou Jin agreed, "Even if Lai Fu is not the Prince of Beirong, I will treat Xiulan and his child well because we grew up together."

"Of course, there's always friendship." Gu Xiling admired this about Zhou Jin, who was loyal and righteous to the people around him.

It was raining outside, Zhou Jin stood up and closed the window, "It's getting colder with each layer of autumn rain, my lady, let's go to bed early."

Gu Xiling smiled sweetly and said coquettishly, "My legs are numb, carry me over."

"My husband is here." Zhou Jin's narrow eyes were full of energy. He bent down, hugged Gu Xiling, and walked quickly towards the bed.

At this time, Gu Xiling remembered that Zhou Jin's legs were just fine, "Oh, husband, you... your legs are just fine, don't..."

When he was about to speak again, Zhou Jin kissed him.

When young men and women are in love, it is natural that they will be affectionate and romantic.

Greedy for pleasure and wanting, don't want to stop.

Zhou Jin's movements became more and more skillful, and he knew how to make Gu Xiling more comfortable and aroused.

The man has a strong ability to learn independently when it comes to love affairs, and he can always make Gu Xiling unable to control herself and unable to extricate herself.

That night, Xie family.

After receiving a personal response from Emperor Kangping, Xie Jin left the palace in high spirits and with great satisfaction.

After returning home, he excitedly ran into the room, picked up Gu Xirong and spun around.

"My dear, we succeeded! I thought that if I were impeached by Censor Li today, I would be dead or at least suffer a lot."

"I didn't expect it to be a blessing in disguise. His Majesty not only did not punish me, but instead promised to transfer me to the north to lead the troops."

"As long as we leave the capital and take this opportunity to establish ourselves in the north, I will be able to gain a firm foothold in the army. Even if Uncle Li wants to punish me, he will be powerless."

Now Xie Jin is particularly grateful to Gu Xirong for encouraging him to go to the north, and also for using dreams to tell him that there will definitely be a great victory in the north.

From his observation of the Northern Rong delegation's every move, and the knowledge that Lai Fu, Xie Jin's long-time attendant in Changning Marquis's Mansion, was an exiled prince of the Northern Rong, he knew that everything was exactly the same as what Gu Xirong said.

Therefore, Xie Jin was full of confidence in this trip.

Gu Xirong was also very happy to hear what Xie Jin said. Although she had to leave such a prosperous place as the capital and go to the north, Gu Xirong believed that she would come back.

"I knew this was a good opportunity, but if I missed it, it would be hard to find another opportunity like this! After all, my dreams don't always appear. I only know that the Northern Rong invaded this year, and we won!"

Xie Jin nodded, "As long as we can win, generals big and small can all be credited. We will act accordingly when the time comes."

"It's just that the north is bitterly cold, so I'd like to trouble you to come with me. I'm worried about leaving you alone in the capital."

Gu Xirong certainly didn't want to be separated from Xie Jin, now that her health had recovered.

"Husband, what are you talking about? We have a good relationship as husband and wife, so of course we should follow each other. Wherever you go, I will go with you! Maybe I have a dream that can help you."

"If I were in the capital, so far away from you! Even if there were any signs in the dream, I might not be able to tell you in time. Wouldn't that be a waste?"

Xie Jin nodded repeatedly. This was exactly what he meant. "My lady, that's great! Tomorrow, please pack your luggage quickly. Once the Ministry of War issues the transfer order, we will set off immediately."

Gu Xirong nodded, "Don't worry, my husband. I'm prepared and I guarantee it will be done properly!"
