As expected, Gu Chengzhi's promotion and transfer order was processed years ago, and the place he went to was the Ministry of Household Affairs, and his grade was the top five.

Judging from Gu Chengzhi's current age alone, it is not unreasonable to be able to sit in this position. After all, civil servants are different from military officials. Military officials are promoted based on military merit, while civil servants are promoted based on their rank and seniority in the imperial examination.

When he is released from Beijing in two years, Gu Chengzhi's rank should be raised, because the official positions released will be a little higher than those in Beijing, and it is estimated that they will be fourth-rank officials by then.

At the end of the three-year release, it is very likely that he will be transferred back to Beijing on a flat basis. The Beijing official will sit at the fourth rank, and he will still have real power in his hands. Gu Chengzhi's net worth will immediately increase several times.

The third-rank official position and the fourth-rank official position are a watershed. Many Jinshi will not be able to cross this hurdle in their entire lives. Gu Chengzhi is top-notch in terms of ability and imperial examination ranking. This hurdle is not difficult for him. Just qualifications and experience.

After Gu Chengzhi went to the household department, he became extremely busy. This is different from the busy time when he was in the Imperial Academy. At that time, he was working in private, and now everything is on the surface.

And Chu Junyi is not very idle here, he must be careful about things over there, but he also revealed some information to the spies, just to give them a thought, the matter of revenge is just around the corner, in the days to come It's still growing.

The adults are busy, and the kids are bored.

Brother Qi has been bored at home for several days. Gu Chengzhi and Chu Junyi both leave early and return late. They have finished the homework left for him, but reading just feels boring.

Chu Junyi saw that the little guy was a little listless, and after thinking about it in his heart, he understood what was going on, but he couldn't delay the matter in hand, so he decided to discuss it with Gu Chengzhi after thinking about it.

Gu Chengzhi raised his eyebrows after hearing this, called the little guy to him and asked, "Are you bored at home alone?"

"En." The little guy pouted and answered.

Chu Junyi: "..." Are all the big living people in your mansion dead? !

"Father, have you been busy recently?" the little guy asked.

"Very busy." Gu Chengzhi replied.

"..." The little guy pursed his lips, and said again: "What about Daddy?"

"Very busy too." Gu Chengzhi continued to reply.

"..." The little guy lowered his head and asked listlessly, "Is Uncle Yu busy too?"

"Yes, he is also busy now." Gu Chengzhi reached out and patted his head.

"Oh." The little guy responded in a low voice.

"So, do you want to go to the academy to study?" Gu Chengzhi asked softly.

"Ah?" The little guy raised his head with a dazed expression, "Academy?"

"Yes, the academy." Gu Chengzhi picked up Brother Qi, put him on his lap, and said, "The academy that taught me and your father is also the academy that taught your grandfather."

The little guy blinked and asked, "Is that academy good?"

"Of course, that's the best academy." Gu Chengzhi raised the corners of his lips.

"Then..." the little guy tilted his head and asked, "Can I be as powerful as my father?"

"That depends on your ability." Gu Chengzhi smiled lightly, "Do you want to go?"

"Yes!" The little guy became energetic, like a water-deficient plant meeting water, and his eyes lit up instantly, "I want to be as powerful as my father!"

"Good son." Gu Chengzhi smiled and rubbed Brother Qi's head twice.

Chu Junyi leaned on his chin to watch, his expression was a little helpless, but his eyes were full of tenderness.

"Daddy, I'm going to the academy!" The little guy jumped off Gu Chengzhi's lap and threw himself into Chu Junyi's arms.

"Are you happy?" Chu Junyi asked with a chuckle.

"En." The little guy smiled and narrowed his eyes.

"Then study hard and listen to what your husband says." Chu Junyi urged.

"En." The little guy nodded repeatedly.

When Brother Qi returned to his room to sleep, Chu Junyi asked Gu Chengzhi again, "Did Mr. Nie say hello?"

"No." Gu Chengzhi smiled.

Chu Junyi: "..." You made a promise without saying hello!

"However, Master once mentioned that Brother Qi would be sent to the academy when he was older." Gu Chengzhi smiled.

"A little older?" Chu Junyi squinted at him, and said, "Brother Qi is only five years old."

"After the new year, he will be six years old." Gu Chengzhi leaned over and buried his head in his neck, "Send him to the academy, and you can relax."

Chu Junyi wanted to push him, but he grabbed his wrist and said helplessly, "You are lazy." Even the education of his son had to be handed over to others.

"You think I'm lazy?" Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Then I have to refute." After speaking, he picked up Chu Junyi and walked to the bedroom.

Chu Junyi: "..."

After Muxiu, Gu Chengzhi took Brother Qi to visit Mr. Nie.

Mr. Nie's attitude was very good, and Brother Qi was not too nervous. After talking for a few words, he asked Brother Qi what books he had read, then asked questions, and finally nodded, saying: "The teaching is good. "

Gu Chengzhi nodded with a smile, Chu Junyi taught his son very well.

"It's rare that you can still calm down and teach children with your temperament." Old Mr. Nie smiled while wiggling his beard.

Gu Chengzhi is really smart, but he is only suitable for dealing with smart people, working with idiots can suffocate him to death.

If someone comes to ask for advice, once or twice is fine, and if there are too many times, it will be annoying. Children are the most difficult to teach, because they have unconstrained ideas. According to Gu Chengzhi's previous temperament, it is estimated that the child asked a few times. He would be thrown into the study and let him turn the pages by himself.

Gu Chengzhi unconsciously coughed lightly, and his ears felt a little hot. Chu Junyi was responsible for his son's education, and he just listened to his son's endorsement.

Mr. Nie beckoned to Brother Qi, let the little guy walk up to him, and said, "What does your father usually teach you? Tell me."

Brother Qi looked at Mr. Nie, then at Gu Chengzhi, and said imitatively: "This paragraph is one word short; that paragraph is one sentence short. I'll give you the book, and then recite it."

Mr. Nie: "..."

Gu Chengzhi pursed his lips and looked up at the sky.

Mr. Nie raised his head and stared at him, then asked Brother Qi, "Who taught you in that family?"

"Daddy taught it." Brother Qi replied.

Mr. Nie's eyelids twitched. The answer was reasonable. Gu Chengzhi was too lazy to teach children, and the only one who could teach them was Chu Junyi.

After patting Brother Qi's head, Mr. Nie glared at Gu Cheng again, and said, "You are really promising!"

Gu Chengzhi accompanied him with a smile and said, "Aren't I busy?"

"I'm so busy that I don't even have time to teach my children?!" Old Mr. Nie said with a stern face, "When the first month comes out, you send the children here."

"Okay, I have to trouble Master to help take care of him when the time comes." Gu Chengzhi answered happily without any hesitation.

Mr. Nie is getting old, and he hasn’t taught his apprentices himself for a long time. Gu Chengzhi asked Brother Qi to come to Hoi An Academy, firstly because of the strength of the teachers here, and secondly because Mr. Nie was there. As for the loss, other things depend on Brother Qi himself.

What Gu Chengzhi meant, Mr. Nie also understood that his most proud disciple had already adopted his son, and he would depend on Brother Qi for his retirement in the future. He was also afraid that the child would be raised in a wrong way.

It's not that he has any objections to Chu Junyi, he understands Gu Chengzhi's temperament, let alone now, even in another ten years, he still can't calm down to teach his children, so all of Brother Qi's education problems will fall to Chu Jun Yi's body.

In the eyes of outsiders, Chu Junyi has nothing serious to do, but Mr. Nie still remembers the look in the eyes of Chu Junyi asking him to borrow the time report from the mansion. Those eyes are not the eyes of people who have nothing to do, and he doesn't want to find out what Chu Junyi is doing, but Brother Qi's education must not be delayed.

Gu Chengzhi would send the child here at this time, there should be some reasons for this, Mr. Nie sighed inwardly, that's fine, as long as he is still alive, he can help a little.

Brother Qi's enrollment was finalized, and Gu Chengzhi made another big gift. Whether it was before or now, Mr. Nie has treated him with the utmost benevolence and righteousness.

Mr. Nie accepted his gift, waved his hand, and told them to go home. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are many things at home.

This was the first year that Chu Junyi and Gu Chengzhi had spent together after the family separation. Not only did they have a son by their side, but they also had an extra person.

Yu Ji was treating Jin Rong's illness and couldn't leave Beijing for the time being. Jin Rong wanted to make arrangements for him, but Yu Ji found a reason to push him away, and then ran to Chu Junyi's place, begging pitifully for his shelter.

Hearing Yu Ji's pitiful words, Brother Qi also took Chu Junyi's hand to intercede.

Chu Junyi didn't care, and asked Gu Chengzhi for his opinion.

Gu Chengzhi curled his lips and did not refuse. Jin Rong had told him before that Yu Ji didn't want to go to the palace for the New Year, so he asked if he could help. After all, Yu Ji came to Beijing because of Gu Chengzhi's request and Jin Rong's request. It's not a big deal to bring him along for the New Year due to his illness.

Yu Ji was one year older than Chu Junyi. He usually acted like a dog in front of outsiders, full of genius doctor aura, but in front of acquaintances, he showed his age to be about the same as Brother Qi.

Since he came to the mansion, brother Qi has found a playmate, and Chu Junyi often feels that he is looking at the two children.

Brother Qi was young and full of energy. Even if Yu Ji was playful, he didn't have that much energy. After playing with the little guy for a while, he sat opposite Chu Junyi to rest.

Because of what Mrs. Chu did before, Chu Junyi and Gu Chengzhi did not return to Chu's house to pay New Year's greetings. Mrs. Chu didn't care if they came or not. It was Mrs. Chu who got angry, but no one at home paid any attention to him.

Not to mention the other side of the Gu's family, they wished that Gu Chengzhi would not come to the door, and Gu Chengzhi had gone back when he adopted brother Qi's son.

There is no hope for relatives here, and the two people's maternal ancestors are not in the capital. After visiting the teacher's relatives and friends, the two stayed at home and did not go out.

When the first month came out, Brother Qi was sent to Hoi An Academy. Because he was young, he didn't live in the academy. Chu Junyi was responsible for picking him up every day. Fortunately, the academy was not far away, otherwise he would have been on the road all this time. up.

Brother Qi does not reject going to the academy to study, not only does he not reject it, but he also likes it very much.

Chu Junyi stroked the little guy's head, feeling in his heart, this looks like Gu Chengzhi, which is good.

Gu Chengzhi has been in the household department for a while, and he is no longer so busy, but he still returns late sometimes.

Chu Junyi didn't pay much attention, but there were exceptions. For example, when Gu Chengzhi came back late, his face was too ugly, so Chu Junyi had to ask.

Seeing Chu Junyi's concerned expression, Gu Chengzhi softened his expression a little, but before he could speak, someone came to report: Uncle Gu is here.
