Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

Gu Xiling chuckled and said, "Thank you for reminding me, husband. I will do it."

How could Gu Xiling, who has lived there for more than ten years, not know the climate there?

Rouge and powder are only used when you go out to meet guests.

Use less when you are not meeting guests.

However, you must apply moisturizing cream to keep your skin moisturized in order to reduce dry lines.

On the contrary, if you use too much rouge and powder, they will become too dry and fall off, increasing wrinkles.

The most important thing is to wear a veil when going out to block the wind, sand and sunlight.

"Although this journey is dangerous, His Majesty and my father have high hopes for you and have made proper arrangements. We just need to think carefully and act accordingly."

Zhou Jin nodded, "My lady is right."

Yuan Zhen was shocked when he learned that he was going to Qingshui Town to be the county magistrate. He hurriedly discussed it with his father and his eldest, second and third brothers in the study.

Now, Mr. Yuan has become a powerful official of the third rank.

If he can do his job well, he may be able to become a Shangshu in the future.

As for Yuan De, the second master of the Yuan family, he received a transfer order to be the prefect of Yunzhou, a fourth-rank official position, which was considered a promotion.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Do you think the focus this time is you?" Old Master Yuan looked at his youngest son and spoke sarcastically.

I used to think that my son was useless, and later he really was useless. But I didn't expect that during the process of capturing the remnants of the Red Lotus, this kid would be able to risk his life as an undercover agent and make great contributions.

After escaping death and surviving, the youngest son is now very different from before, which can be considered a blessing in disguise.

Yuan Zhen was stunned, "It's not me, it's my second brother?"

After all, my second brother was transferred to Yunzhou and became an official at a higher level than Qingshui County.

But this is against the rules! It is taboo for two brothers to serve in the same place, even if their official positions are different.

Yuan De glanced at his fourth brother and shook his head, "It's not me either!"

"Who is that?" Yuan Zhen was puzzled. "Big brother, second brother, third brother, is there something else you haven't told me?"

The Yuan family elder smiled and said, "This time the focus is on Zhou Jin, the son of the Marquis of Changning. You and Xie Jin are both partners of the son of the Marquis of Changning. In the process of governing Qingshui County, at least you will not go against Zhou Jin. As for Wang Shiwen... that is the whetstone that His Majesty prepared for Zhou Jin."

"Ah?" Yuan Zhen was stunned. "The county magistrate is Zhou Jin? I am the county magistrate, Xie Jin... should be the garrison commander, then Wang Shiwen, could he be the chief clerk?"

Old Master Yuan stroked his graying beard and said, "Yes, you guessed it right. He has finally grown a brain."

When Yuan Zhen heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, "Dad, I'm not that bad, am I?"

"Humph! How dare you say that?" Old Master Yuan snorted, "If you weren't so bad, you wouldn't have been harmed by the remnants of the Red Lotus."

When Yuan Zhen heard this, he immediately shrank his head.

When the three Yuan brothers saw this, they looked at each other and secretly laughed.

In the past, the fourth younger brother was very much loved at home. If he said a few more words, his father and mother would protect him.

The reason why my fourth brother was so dissolute in the past was largely due to the doting of my father and mother.

But of course the three brothers would not say it.

Seeing that his fourth brother was so depressed and had no fighting spirit after being scolded, the eldest master of the Yuan family smiled and said, "Father, although the fourth brother suffered a loss in front of the remnants of the Red Lotus, he has turned back from his mistakes and changed his previous dissolute temper. Now he can walk on the right path and be valued by His Majesty, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise."

Yuan De smiled, "Yes, father. Marquis Changning is the most trusted minister of His Majesty, and has made many outstanding achievements. He is now the Minister of Rites, and he is very young, about the same age as my elder brother."

"Although Zhou Jin, the son of the Marquis of Changning, is not as cunning as his father, he has gradually calmed down in the past two years and has done a lot of great things. Not to mention the distant past, my fourth brother asked the son of the Marquis of Changning for help twice. Zhou Jin handled it very well, which can be regarded as a great achievement."

"Although His Majesty did not explicitly say that it was a reward, it was inevitable that he would use Zhou Jin. Otherwise, Zhou Jin would not have been arranged to go to Qingshui County. In order to ensure that Zhou Jin would be safe, arrangements were made at the back and on the left and right sides."

"Now that Fourth Brother can work with Zhou Jin, he should work hard and manage Qingshui County well, and he will have a bright future. In fact, I am grateful to Fourth Brother for this. Thank you very much, Fourth Brother."

When Yuan Zhen heard his elder and second brothers praising him, he quickly stood up and bowed, "Thank you, elder brother, second and third brothers. I have caused my father and brothers to worry about me in the past. I will definitely turn over a new leaf and do my job well in the future."

After hearing his son's words, Old Master Yuan looked at his youngest son again and said, "That's right, Zhen'er has turned over a new leaf. It's just that his body has been harmed by the remnants of the Red Lotus, so he won't have a son in this life."

"Look among you three brothers and see who has more sons. Give one to your fourth brother. Zhen'er is going to Qingshui County this time, and his wife and children must go with him. Not having a son won't work. You are the older brothers, so you have to think of a solution."

The third master of the Yuan family quickly said, "Father, I only have one son, and I can't adopt him."

Yuan De said awkwardly, "Father, there are only two sons in my family, not many."

Finally, everyone's eyes fell on the eldest brother of the Yuan family, and even Yuan Zhen looked at his eldest brother with expectation.

The eldest master of the Yuan family is a powerful official and has many descendants in the backyard.

Seeing his father and brothers looking at him like that, the eldest master of the Yuan family said, "This is easy to handle! Your eldest sister-in-law has a two-year-old child in her name. It was born to one of my concubines, but she died of complications during childbirth. Fourth brother, if you want, I will give the boy to you for adoption."

He had six sons, three legitimate sons and three illegitimate sons.

Only the youngest one is two years old. The others are all grown up and can remember things, so it is not convenient to adopt him to my fourth brother.

Yuan Zhen stood up and said, "Thank you, big brother. Our family still depends on you. If you need my help in the future, just let me know."

The eldest master of the Yuan family nodded and said, "Don't blame me for not giving you my legitimate sons. When they grow up and are given to you, even if they know who their parents are, you won't be able to raise them well."

Yuan Zhen said quickly: "Brother, please don't say that. I am already very grateful to you for giving me your youngest son."

The eldest sister-in-law values ​​her legitimate son so much. He is her biological son and she has raised him with great care. How could she possibly give her beloved son away for adoption?

Of course the eldest sister-in-law was willing to adopt a concubine's son. In the future, she could get less family property and less betrothal gifts.

A child who is only two years old in age is actually just over one year old.

Take good care of him, he will be Yuan Zhen’s son in the future.

Old Master Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. "I feel relieved to see that you brothers are united. Brothers fight together to fight tigers, and fathers and sons fight together in battle. I am old now, and I have retired. From now on, I will rely on you brothers to help each other."

"Yes, father." The four brothers responded quickly.

Next, the Yuan family also began to prepare. After all, their two sons had gone to the northwest, so they couldn’t rush.

Compared with the Yuan family’s jubilation, Wang Shiwen was not so happy!

The place where he was exiled was Jiangnan.

He had been to Jiangnan before and could not forget the beautiful scenery and beautiful women there.
