Anyone who can break through the siege of many candidate officials in Jiangnan must be a top expert in observing people's words and expressions!

Everyone knew that Ning Weizhou's words were perfunctory, but looking at Ning Weizhou's smiling face like a spring breeze, no one dared to raise a single word of doubt!

In the past two months, some were arrested and sent to the capital, and some were kidnapped by bandits when they went out.

Everyone knew clearly that this was the work of this young general.

He looks like a delicate scholar. Whenever he meets people, he is always as warm and gentle as spring breeze. What's more, if you send him a few beauties, he will blush and say that his wife is fierce and he is afraid of kneeling on the washboard when he goes back!

In fact, when killing people, if he can kill two, he will never kill less than half!

"The general's wife cares about the people and is more merciful than a bodhisattva!"

"The general's wife is as brave as any man. She opened the warehouse to provide relief. I, as a man, really admire her!"

"Since the General's wife has important matters to attend to, we naturally dare not delay her. However, Wuzhou will always reserve a table for the two little darlings. No matter when you come again, everyone in Wuzhou will welcome you warmly!"

"Please tell my wife, General, that the Gu family's business in Jiangnan is not a problem for her!"

Ning Weizhou thanked them one by one, returned home, and told the story to Gu Feiwan as a joke.

"These official vacancies in Jiangnan are all lucrative positions. They can fill them up because they have people behind them. But the common people always suffer." Gu Feiwan sorted out the children's clothes.

Many of these were made by Madam Chen and sent over by someone. Although children grow fast and can no longer wear many of them, Gu Feiwan still had them kept carefully and placed them in a special box to take away.

Ning Weizhou washed his hands, changed his outer robe, and walked to the cradle to tease the child while continuing Gu Feiwan's words:

"How can there not be a few rats in a rich place? They are just killed when they are fat. Officials are just like leeks in the field. They grow again after being cut. There is no need to worry about no one doing the job!"

"I heard that my eldest and second brothers selected a few people from humble backgrounds, all of whom were successful candidates in this year's imperial examinations. I wonder if this can help to clear up the atmosphere in the officialdom?"

"There will always be some effect. Besides, my elder brother and I have just killed and captured people in Jiangnan. Those who are greedy will be scared for a while. This is the opportunity for those poor scholars. Once they gain a firm foothold, they will be able to check and balance in the future."

Gu Feiwan put down the small clothes in her hand and walked to the cradle: "If Fan'er chooses to be an official in the future, I hope he can stick to his original intention and not go along with those people."

Ning Weizhou embraced her and said, "Don't worry, I'm here. No matter what this kid does, he won't break the rules!"

Gu Feiwan glanced at him and said, "You are not allowed to hit the child!"

"Look, the day before yesterday I said I would spoil the child, and you said I was indulgent. Today I said I would follow the rules, but you didn't allow me to beat the child. My wife never forgets to make things difficult for me!" Ning Weizhou looked helpless and aggrieved.

"This is my first time being a mother, and I always feel uneasy. If I do it too lightly or too heavily, it always feels wrong!" Gu Feiwan hit Ning Weizhou:

"Anyway, I don't care. If the children are not well, it must be your fault as a father!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Ning Weizhou grabbed Gu Feiwan's pink fist and said, "If a child is not well-educated, it is the fault of the father. Naturally, it is all my fault! They are still young now, so let them eat when they want to eat and sleep when they want to sleep. When they can walk, I will definitely teach them well!"

Gu Feiwan struggled twice but failed to break free: "Can you teach me?"

"I'll ask the grandparents for advice. They can teach good sons. If I learn more, I can naturally teach the children well!"

The two were pulling each other, and the wet nurses, seeing this, tactfully took the children out, leaving the couple behind.

However, they got it wrong!

Even Gu Feiwan felt puzzled. She was held down by Nanny Zhu and Doctor Song and stayed in bed for two months.

Now counting with fingers, it has been more than ten days since she was out of confinement, and her body is clean now. But although they share the same bed every night, Ning Weizhou just hugs Gu Feiwan at most, and does nothing else.

Gu Feiwan was too embarrassed to ask, but she felt distressed.

Could it be that Ning Weizhou was unhappy because her figure had changed after giving birth?

The more she thought about Gu Feiwan, the less confident she became. She was two years older than Ning Weizhou.

She was pregnant with twins and the delivery was difficult!

But this matter was too private, and Gu Feiwan was too embarrassed to ask others.

She asked Nanny Zhu indirectly, and Nanny Zhu said that many couples were like this. After the wife gave birth, the husband lost interest, the sex life was not harmonious, and the harem was not peaceful. He had to add new people, and some even had mistresses.

Thinking of this, Gu Feiwan lost his interest in laughing: "Rest early, you still have official business tomorrow morning."

Ning Weizhou seemed to be relieved: "It's time to rest early. You just came out of confinement and you are busy with business during the day. Your health is the most important thing."

That night, Gu Feiwan deliberately turned her back, but she waited for a long time but Ning Weizhou didn't take her into his arms.

The next day, when Gu Feiwan woke up, there was no one around him. He reached out and felt half of the quilt was cold. Ning Weizhou had been gone for at least half an hour.

"Miss, Qinglin is back." Qingshuang heard the noise, pulled up the curtain and said happily.

Gu Feiwan rubbed his eyes and said lazily, "You came back so early in the morning. Is there something going on in the shop?"

"She didn't say anything, but I saw that she brought the young master of the Peng family here!" After saying this, Qingshuang lowered her voice and said mysteriously:

"I noticed that Master Peng looked at Sister Qinglin like a mouse seeing a cat. It was very strange!"

Gu Feiwan raised his eyebrows. Qinglin and Peng Liuzi?

How come these two people are together?

Besides, although Qinglin is a tough and powerful person inside, he is always gentle and polite when dealing with others, unlike Qingshuang, who always shouts for war and killing.

"Breakfast is set up in the front hall. I'll be there after I wash up!"

Qinglin is the head maidservant by her side. If she works hard, she will be the head shopkeeper in Jiangnan in the future. Gu Feiwan has to give Qinglin enough face in front of the other shopkeepers.

When Gu Feiwan brought Qingshuang to the front hall, they saw Qinglin and Peng Liuzi standing in the corridor like two pieces of wood.

"Come in!" Gu Feiwan raised her hand, Qinglin came over to hold her arm, and gently called out: "Girl!"

"What's wrong? Are you in trouble?"

Qing Lin like this is rare, Gu Feiwan couldn't help but ask.

"No, I just came to see the girl."

Helping Gu Feiwan to sit down, Qinglin went to the side to wash his hands, wiped them with a clean towel, and then picked up the chopsticks to serve the food to Gu Feiwan.

Gu Feiwan stopped him and said, "You don't need to do these. Sit down and eat together. Master Peng will also come."

Unexpectedly, Qinglin refused. Peng Liuzi glanced at Qinglin, then stood there with a wry smile.

"Miss, please let me serve you meal one more time. After you leave, I don't know when I can see you again!" Qinglin said with red eyes.

Gu Feiwan held her hand and said, "How many times have I told you? I've already given you the indenture, why are you still treating me like a slave?"
