Marry a concubine? Reborn to move out of the mansion and marry a general

However, Gu Shian was very relieved to hear that the queen was pregnant.

The Empress is pregnant, which is a blessing for the country!

If a smart prince could be born, the prestige of the Wu Kingdom would be further enhanced!

"Don't trouble the Queen too much in the future." Gu Shian warned.

Gu Jiusi nodded repeatedly: "I know, my sister has reminded me before, I have kept it in mind, but I must come this time, I don't feel at ease if others come!"

Gu Jiusi was indeed not willful. The disaster relief governor wanted to do a good job, which was a difficult job.

The capital was thousands of miles away from the south of the Yangtze River. In order to save time, they rarely stayed at post stations. When they felt sleepy, they would take a nap on the horse. Only when the horse could no longer hold on could they rest for a night.

When arriving in the south of the Yangtze River, there are a myriad of issues to deal with, including post-disaster comfort and reconstruction. Local corrupt officials always try to dig holes and hinder others. If one is not careful, one will fall into the mud pit. In the mildest case, one will have no hope of a career in politics, and in the worst case, one may face imprisonment!

But if you want to gain some merit, it's very easy to do!

As long as you collude with the local county officials, take bribes and extort money, you can even get an umbrella for the people when you return to Beijing!

The former Marquis of Weiwu, Shen Zhili, had reaped the benefits of this during his three years in Anping.

However, Gu Shi'an knew that the Gu family would not produce a descendant like Shen Zhili. Gu Jiusi tried every means to grab this job. Firstly, he had the people in his heart, and secondly, his younger brother and sister were both in Jiangnan. He was worried about other people transporting relief food, and he would not allow others to make the river management of his younger brother worse.

"Brother Zhuangyuan, you don't know that your brother lay in front of the military department for three days in order to take away the 500 soldiers from the patrol and garrison camps!" Xu Shixian picked up a piece of food for himself and ate it slowly, as if he didn't see Gu Jiusi's murderous look.

"How many good things did your crazy woman take from me? Her eating habits are even uglier than those people in the Ministry of War!"

"Why are you so anxious?" Gu Shian glared at his brother and said, "You haven't gotten married yet. When you get married, will the princess and her husband miss out on your good things?"

When Gu Jiusi heard this, he immediately smiled happily: "Brother is right, when the time comes I will get a few more wives and concubines, and I guarantee that I will make back the money I put in with interest!"

"Now that you are here, work hard and don't let the emperor and your family down." Gu Shian finished the rice in his bowl and put down his chopsticks. Gu Jiusi tactfully handed him some tea.

Gu Shian drank it all in one gulp and wiped his mouth with his sleeve: "I'm still busy over there. If I had known that the governor was you, I wouldn't have come to this meal!"

Gu Jiusi looked aggrieved: "My brother's words really upset me. I set out from the capital and thought about my brother all the way. I finally arrived in Anping, why is my brother estranged from me?"

Gu Shian raised his hand and slapped him on the head: "Hurry up and eat and drink enough, then go to sleep. Follow me to the riverbank tomorrow morning. If the Anping dam breaks again next year, I will plant you on the riverbank!"

Gu Jiusi shrank his head, bent his body, and followed his brother in small steps. When he came back, he put his hands behind his back and his face darkened:

"My brother was so handsome and graceful in the capital. He was even more handsome than Lord Xu. How come he has become a skinny old man after only a few months in Anping? Did you gang up on me to abuse my brother?"

The officials and gentry who were accompanying him all took two steps back silently, making the silent Wei Shaofeng stand out.

At this moment, Wei Shaofeng felt as if his heart, mouth, and whole body were filled with coptis!

And they are all crushed, and the juice that comes out is so bitter that it is unbearable!

"Master Gu, Master He Dao is in Anping, and we have never dared to treat him unfairly!"

At the beginning, it was a bit of a show of force, but Gu Shianquan didn't take it.

after that……

As Wei Shaofeng thought about it, tears were about to flow!

Later, when Ning Weizhou arrived, Admiral Zhao suddenly sent 500 soldiers to guard the riverbank.

After waiting for a long time for Ning Weizhou to leave, a unreasonable girl appeared next to Gu Shian. She would use fists, knives and sticks to attack him, just like a bandit!

No, they are even more brutal than bandits!

Who has ever seen a bandit meet an official and punch him in the head?

Wei Shaofeng touched his shoulder, and it still hurt a little!

"My brother has suffered, and it's all your fault. He has lost several pounds of flesh. Either you give him good food and drink to make up for it, or let the knife in my hand cut off the flesh from your bodies to pay off your debt!"

As soon as Gu Jiusi finished speaking, Xu Shixian coughed twice: "Master Gu, you and Master He Dao are brothers, this should be avoided in the officialdom! How can you say that?"

Wei Shaofeng burst into tears of gratitude, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw:

"Thank you, Lord Xu, for your righteous words..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Shixian said softly, "But this is a private banquet, right? That's fine. Without this official robe, we are all citizens of Wu, and we are all the same! Besides, Lord Gu, although this cannot be said, what is done in secret is different. In the officialdom, there are many stories of smiling in front of people and stabbing them in the back. Lord Wei must be very proficient in this. If something happens to him, he will not be surprised!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Jiusi clasped his fists and thanked him, "Master Xu is indeed very knowledgeable. I just suffered from my lack of education. I hope Master Xu will give me more guidance in the future!"

The two of them talked back and forth, making the big shots in Anping City sweat on their foreheads and tremble in their legs!

This is clearly an act of retaliation!

But in fact, Gu Shian was as cunning as a fox. They not only did not gain any advantage, but also suffered a lot!

The flood in Jiangnan this time was much better than in the past. If the rain had not been the heaviest and longest in more than a decade, the riverbank would not have burst two holes.

Gu Shian no longer has the appearance of a handsome young man. In fact, he gets up early and stays on the river bank in the dark every day. Not to mention a person, even if he is a piece of wood, it will become dry after more than a hundred days of wind and sun!

The number of disaster victims and the amount of silver lost counted this time are hundreds of times better than those during the three years that Marquis Shen Zhili of Weiwu was in Anping!

During those three years, the weather was good, but not a cent of the money used to repair the river embankment was used on the river embankment. After years of disrepair, the river embankment was breached everywhere when it rained heavily.

Every year, countless people suffer from disasters downstream of the river embankment, but when the reports are sent to the capital, they are all full of praises and eulogies, as if the times were peaceful and tranquil!

The people affected by the disaster could only leave it to fate. It was not like this year. After the disaster, the Gu family first took out rice and grain, and then the Sheng family donated their stocks. The supplies escorted by the governor also arrived on time.

These things were even more serious, and they all went into the stomachs of the victims. Wei Shaofeng and others didn't even dare to take a grain of rice home!
