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

In this world, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, and those who follow the rules are afraid of those who do things wrongly.

Xu Shixian knew that he could not be as good as Gu Jiusi, but he was still qualified to be Gu Jiusi's amulet!

"You should settle down soon, otherwise you'll have more wrinkles on your face and your crazy wife will scratch my face!"

The candlelight was dim. Gu Jiusi, wearing only a single layer of clothing, took out a book from his bag and began to read it carefully.

This is the disaster information collected during the day, and he has to sort it out again at night.

He drew a topographic map of the affected areas and consulted county records from various government offices. He gradually mapped out the direction of the flood.

Once all the drawings are completed and combined with the original topographic map, we will be able to tell which are natural disasters and which are man-made disasters.

God cannot be controlled, but people can be killed!

Xu Shixian had just taken a bath in the inner room. The weather in the south of the Yangtze River is humid, not as dry as in the capital. He is a clean person and wishes he could take a bath three times a day!

"I'll stay with you a little longer. Maybe there will be new disaster information coming in later, so I don't have to get up from bed again." Xu Shixian also took the book, and the two of them huddled in front of the candlelight and studied hard.

During these days, the two of them ate and lived together, and many outsiders looked at them with strange eyes.

Gu Jiusi asked Xu Shixian to live next door, saying that if anything happened, he could just call him.

But Xu Shixian refused: "I'm afraid they won't give you a chance to scream. I promised Qing'er that I would bring you back alive and well. You still owe her a set of Dongzhu headgear!"

The two were reading a book when suddenly a burning smell came.

Gu Jiusi looked up, panic flashed in Xu Shixian's eyes, and he slapped Gu Jiusi in the face!

"Snapped!"

A piece of burnt hair fell on the table, and Gu Jiusi touched his face:

"I didn't expect you to be so strong. Will it be swollen tomorrow?"

"That's better than being bald!" Xu Shixian cursed angrily:

"You are already so old, how come you don't even know your hair is burned?"

"Hey, it's okay, it's just a few, it won't cause any trouble!" Gu Jiusi always looked nonchalant.

Xu Shixian stared at him for a moment, then suddenly said:

"Nine Thoughts..."

Gu Jiusi shuddered and crossed his arms: "Speak properly, don't be like this!"

Xu Shixian's face changed, and the scroll in his hand flew up and hit Gu Jiusi's face!

This kind of attack naturally couldn't hurt Gu Jiusi at all. Gu Jiusi grabbed the scroll with one hand and said, "If you have something to say, let's talk nicely. Why are you using force?"

"Why did I have the idea of ​​promising my only sister to you? Is my brain broken?" Xu Shixian was a little angry and turned his head away, ignoring Gu Jiusi.

Gu Jiusi's eyes lit up: "Is it the sister who can dance with swords that you always talk about?"

Xu Shixian rolled his eyes at him in anger: "Look at how scoundrel you are now. You are really not worthy of my sister!"

I thought Gu Jiusi would immediately retort and then praise himself as a rare hero in heaven and earth.

But this time, Gu Jiusi just handed the book over and said indifferently:

"I'm really not worthy of your sister."

Xu Shixian was stunned. He didn't take the book, but stretched out his hand and touched Gu Jiusi's forehead:

"You don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense?"

Gu Jiusi pushed his hand away angrily: "If you had said it earlier, I could have said a good word to you, but now I can't!"

"Why?" Xu Shixian was puzzled.

"You also heard a few days ago that my brother and Ali fell in love with each other, and both of them were determined to be together. This matter was originally nothing in my Gu family, but with the Minister of Industry asking a matchmaker to propose marriage, it became a difficult matter!"

Gu Jiusi looks reckless, but he is actually very thoughtful.

The flood in Jiangnan this time was caused by God’s ignorance, which caused the heaviest rain in more than a decade, and also because the river embankments in Jiangnan had not been properly repaired for decades.

After Gu Shian came to Jiangnan, he had been working very hard, wishing he could split one day into two days, but in the end the time was too short. Although the results were huge, the river bank still broke.

He was the new governor of the Jiangnan River, and such a disaster happened during his tenure. There were always several impeachment memorials submitted to the emperor.

When Gu Shian returned to Beijing to report on his work, a reprimand from the emperor was inevitable.

If someone else tries to trip us up, the situation will become even more unpredictable!

The Minister of Industry is Gu Shian's immediate superior and a key figure.

I am not afraid of the trouble from the King of Hell, but I am afraid of the trouble from the little ghosts.

"The daughter of the Minister of Works has a good reputation. I think she will be obedient if I marry her. If my brother doesn't want to marry her, then I will marry her. She will still be a wife of the Gu family, and she will also be the eldest son of the family. The Minister of Works should not have any objections." After Gu Jiusi finished speaking, he stretched.

"At most I can give you more dowry. As long as my brother is fine, it doesn't matter to me."

Xu Shixian couldn't stand his lazy look, so he glanced at him and said, "Do you believe in reputation? It's said that Fule likes to kill people and skin them. When have you ever seen her take someone's life? It's just a rumor! Besides, Gu Shian found someone he likes. Don't you envy him? Don't you want to find someone who shares the same feelings with you?"

Xu Shixian rolled up his sleeves and picked up the wick, ready for a late night talk:

"Also, what good girl in the capital would lower her status and ask someone to propose marriage to the man's family? If the matchmaker is not good at telling lies and the man is immoral, and the news gets out, will she still want to get married? You should think about it more!"

Gu Jiusi leaned back in his chair, his eyes narrowed slightly: "I just thought about it enough, so I decided to marry myself!"

He picked up a pen, without dipping it in ink, scribbled a few strokes on the paper, and threw it to Xu Shixian:

"How long has our Gu family been in the capital? How many years has the Minister been an official in the capital? How could he not understand the customs of the capital? Just as you said, if the news gets out, who would want his daughter?"

After Xu Shixian finished reading the words on the paper, his back suddenly straightened!

Or was it his fault that he had been in the officialdom for too long. Although his family was in the officialdom, he was only a minor official after all, and was far away from the capital. The officialdom traps he had heard and seen seemed as childish as playing house now.

"It's terrible for a lady from a noble family to have her reputation damaged, but if the news spreads, won't her moral character be damaged? If the Gu family insists on not marrying her, what if the girl is so upset that she kills herself?"

Gu Jiusi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It seems that our Minister is eager to find talent, but if you look deeper, it is just a hemp rope tied around the Gu family's head!"

"If my brother didn't have Ali, he would have married her. Anyway, he is now often in Jiangnan. It is not difficult to keep a few more people in the mansion in the capital. With the grandparents watching over him, there won't be any big trouble. But in this situation, should I let my brother give up Ali?"

Gu Jiusi shook his head vigorously: "That's absolutely not possible! If that happens, it would make me, as a brother, look useless!"

"They must have gotten the news that my brother and A Li are in love, so they did this to me before I left the capital!"

Xu Shixian crumpled the paper into a ball and said, "I didn't expect that the Minister would rather sacrifice his own daughter than drag the Gu family into this!"
