marriage contract

The atmosphere in Anqing Mansion is pretty good, and I haven't encountered any difficulties after staying here for two months.

Gu Chengzhi integrated into it faster than expected.

Of course, there are also reasons why he and Chu Junyi got married.

The floods that year were raging, and most of the victims were villages along the banks. Compared with the affected places, towns and villages a little farther away from the river bank were not affected much.

Even so, it does not prevent the people here from having a special affection for Gu Chengzhi and Chu Junyi.

Those who experienced the flood really regarded these two people as benefactors, not all of them, but most of them were grateful to them in their hearts.

Those who did not experience the flood were far worse, but natural disasters were imminent, and the flood came and went suddenly. over both of their heads.

So, when Uncle Yu was thinking about how to establish a friendly relationship with the local people, Gu Chengzhi was already taken aback by the enthusiasm of the local people.

For example, since the common people knew that Gu Chengzhi came here to be an official, it took only one morning for everyone in the city to know about it.

When he went down to the Yamen, Gu Chengzhi had just stepped out of the gate of the Daoist Department when he was shocked by the crowds of people in front of him. He thought something serious had happened, but after careful questioning, he found out that the people came to watch and appreciate Gu Chengzhi.

Gu Chengzhi: "..."

For this reason, Uncle Yu often teased him.

It was the same when it came to Chu Junyi's place. The common people knew that Gu Chengzhi came here to be an official, so they naturally knew that Chu Junyi was with him.

The night before, Chu Junyi was teasing Gu Chengzhi jokingly, but the next day he was surrounded by people.

Chu Junyi: "..."

Gu Chengzhi sneered when he heard about it, and only said: "Yes!"

The news of Gu Chengzhi and Chu Junyi in Anqing Mansion seemed to have grown wings, and it flew all over the entire Anqing Mansion within a few days, and there was a tendency to spread outward.

Chu Junyi didn't mind being surrounded by people, but some stubborn people really regarded the two of them as offerings to living Bodhisattvas, and drove for several days in a bullock cart just to kowtow to them.

Seeing the common people who were kneeling down, crying so much that they kept saying words of gratitude, Chu Junyi also felt very sad.

But he was moved and sad, and he had no other choice, especially when the kneeling people said that the land had been a little dry in the past few days, and wanted to ask Chu Junyi if he could help bring down some rain. At that time, he really wanted to find a Drill into the seam.

He said that it was a coincidence, and the people nodded in agreement, and then said that it doesn't matter if it is a coincidence, as long as it can bless the local people with good weather.

He said that they would not ask God for rain, and the people reluctantly nodded with mournful faces, saying that they would not embarrass them, but that expression seemed to be a silent accusation.

The people reluctantly returned home in the ox cart, while Chu Junyi didn't sleep well for several days after tossing and turning.

Gu Chengzhi felt sorry for him, and said that he would help him take a look, and let him relax.

His family knew their own affairs, how could natural disasters be avoided, Chu Junyi was afraid that those people's fans would turn black.

As a result, within three days, the people who had left came back with news that it rained the night they returned to the village.

Chu Junyi finished listening with a blank expression, and then looked at them blankly, with a calm expression on his face, and he was about to kneel in his heart.

The people were grateful, but Chu Junyi didn't answer a word, only saying that it was an accident and had nothing to do with them, even if it was time for natural rainfall, they were also mortals, and they didn't have that much ability to influence the wind and rain.

After Chu Junyi finished speaking, he was about to leave. He was really a little scared.

But when he turned around and took a few steps, the people behind him kowtowed repeatedly, as long as they were humble, and this kindness would definitely be repaid.

Hearing this, Chu Junyi's knees softened, and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Gu Chengzhi came over to check on the situation, and happened to pick him upright, which saved Chu Junyi's image from being ruined.

Seeing Chu Junyi's embarrassed face, Gu Chengzhi seemed to be fleeing for his life, and seeing the people behind him, he understood.

Chu Junyi was uncomfortable in every possible way. Whether it was the receding of the flood or the rain from the sky, it had nothing to do with them. Well, he was pushed to the position of a false Bodhisattva for no reason, and he felt very sorry.

Gu Chengzhi is relatively better. Those who can be enshrined as saints are not only god sticks, but also officials who sincerely care for the people. He cannot control natural disasters, but he can avoid man-made disasters. As long as he is sincere for the people, Even if he didn't have that layer of halo, he still deserves the worship of the people.

With Gu Chengzhi's comfort, Chu Junyi adjusted his mentality for a few days. No matter in his previous life or this life, he had never encountered such a situation. He was really a little scared.

After getting along for a while, the two sides can be considered to have some understanding.

As long as you don't mention those gods, ghosts, and ghosts, Chu Junyi is a very easy-going person. He often takes Brother Qi out for a walk, tells him about the customs, and asks about local things by the way, which can be regarded as a disguised collection. intelligence.

Gu Chengzhi spends most of his time at the Taoist Office sorting out official duties, and only when he is resting will he accompany Chu Junyi at home or go out for a walk.

The local folk customs are good, and they are very lenient and kind to people and things. Just like the matter of Chu Junyi and Gu Chengzhi, people in the capital never mentioned it.

But the people in Anqing Mansion will repay them with the greatest kindness. Of course, this has something to do with the people thinking that the two of them can keep safe.

Thanks to Gu Chengzhi's blessing, Uncle Yu also integrated into it as quickly as possible. After all, in the eyes of the locals, anyone who can make friends with Mr. Gu is a good official.

Regarding this, Uncle Yu was a little dumbfounded.

As September approached, Gu Chengzhi also started to prepare for his tour. Mid-September was his first tour here, and all the work was proceeding in an orderly manner.

In recent days, there have been no more people coming here one after another. Perhaps it is the autumn harvest time, and every family is rushing to harvest the crops in the field.

The people of Anqing Mansion are very fortunate that Prefect Fan is a good official, and the two new officials are also good officials.

Knowing that Chu Junyi doesn't like others to mention those things, the common people will follow suit, anyway, they just remember it in their hearts.

Zhu Ning's son and daughter are about to turn one year old, this was reminded by Brother Qi, Chu Junyi prepared gifts, and sent them back to the capital together with those prepared by Brother Qi.

Brother Qi has always been thinking about his sister, and he would buy one of all the interesting and beautiful things he saw in Anqing Mansion, and he made a small box just for the small items prepared for Ke Ke.

Those who returned to Beijing not only gave gifts from each family, but also had to do reporting work.

Jin Rong received Gu Chengzhi's letter, and couldn't help laughing after reading it, took the letter and went to Qianqing Palace to meet the emperor.

The letter not only wrote about the official affairs of the past few months, but also some private matters. Among them, some people regarded them as magic sticks, the kind who could call wind and rain.

Gu Chengzhi vomited bitterness in the letter, obviously they didn't do anything, but in the end it was blamed on them when it rained, if there was another natural disaster someday, the common people would still eat them up.

The emperor sighed secretly after seeing it. He had already guessed that this would happen as early as when the Taoist priest of Hegui was doing fortune-telling, so when Gu Chengzhi proposed to be transferred to Anqing Mansion as an official, he also hesitated in his heart.

But he knew Gu Chengzhi's temperament, if he didn't investigate the matter of the second master himself, he must not be able to sleep well.

The emperor wrote a letter and handed it to Jin Rong to send it back to Gu Chengzhi.

The letter followed the person who came to Beijing to give the gift, and returned to Anqing Mansion again.

When he received the letter, Gu Chengzhi's heart was slightly lifted, and after reading the letter, he felt relieved.

Since ancient times, accompanying a monarch is like accompanying a tiger, imperial power cannot be violated, and being worshiped as a Bodhisattva by the people can be said to be ignorance of the people, or he can be said to have ulterior motives.

Before he came to Anhui, he really didn't expect such a thing to happen. Now it is no longer a matter of nodding and thanking, those people really regard them as benefactors.

Even though he was brought to such an embarrassing place, Gu Chengzhi didn't regret coming to Anhui Province to release him, but he couldn't let the situation develop. If he didn't control it, something big would happen sooner or later.

In the letter, the emperor laughed and scolded him for not knowing what is good or bad, and not knowing what is good when he is in the blessing, and said that since he has won the hearts of the people, he should do some practical things for the people.

At the end of the letter, there was a sentence that the emperor knew well, so he could handle his business with peace of mind.

This sentence is enough, Gu Chengzhi read the letter twice, and heaved a sigh of relief.

He was able to get to this position, apart from his rank in the imperial examination, the greater reason was that he had the grace of the Holy Grace.

Don't you see how many champions are depressed all their lives, and not all champions can stand out and become extremely courtiers.

Gu Chengzhi's greatest reliance is the emperor, he cannot let the emperor suspect him.

The common people are spontaneous and well-intentioned, but one or two is enough, and it is indeed a disaster if there are too many.

But Gu Chengzhi couldn't tell the people that this would harm him, so he could only say something to the emperor like a joke.

Mid-September arrived in a blink of an eye, Chu Junyi stuffed his son into the team, while he stayed in Anqing Mansion.

Gu Chengzhi has been away for three months. Chu Junyi doesn't plan to follow him all the time. He also has things to do here. He will go after Gu Chengzhi's team after the things at hand are done.

The road patrol team left as scheduled, and Chu Junyi waited for a few days before going to the person Qin An mentioned.

There are local snakes everywhere, and Anqing Mansion is no exception. The local snake here is named He Hua, and it is considered to be under the jurisdiction of Qin An.

However, I heard from Qin An that this person is a bit disobedient, although he can complete the things he explained, but his attitude is very loose, which makes Chu Junyi fuss.

After seeing He Hua, Chu Junyi finally understood what laxity is. This guy is just a lazy guy who doesn't push or push.

He Hua was reclining on the recliner to receive Chu Junyi. He could move his mouth twice, served by four maids beside him, and brought fruit, snacks and tea to his mouth. He only needed to open his mouth.

In fact, Chu Junyi came here this time to recognize the family, and he hasn't reached the time to ask He Hua.

When He Hua asked about his purpose, he just nodded in response.

He is able to be what he is today, apart from his own efforts, he is supported more by others. Those people can push him to this position, and they can also step him into the mud. It is easy to do things with the back of the mountain, and it can save a lot of trouble if someone protects him.

However, Chu Junyi did not intend to respond for Gu Chengzhi.

But He Hua also simply said that he listened to Chu Junyi.

Chu Junyi was choked up, not quite understanding what He Hua meant.

He Hua smiled and said nothing. He believed Chu Junyi's words because he brought Qin An's handwritten letter, which asked him to help Chu Junyi as much as possible, so he would not refuse.

Behind Chu Junyi is Gu Chengzhi. Gu Chengzhi and Uncle Yu are in charge of this place. It is difficult to spread the intelligence network.

And standing behind them is the emperor, and the time limit given by the emperor is only three years.

Qin An will not make his own decisions, this matter was decided after he consulted the emperor and got the emperor's words "do it cheaply".

With He Hua's promise, Chu Junyi saw that he had nothing else to do, so he packed his bags and went after Gu Chengzhi's team.

The tour route is pre-booked, and the route will not be changed if there are no special circumstances.

Along the way, Chu Junyi did not encounter setbacks. The speed of the team was not slow, but due to their duties, they stayed for more time, and finally intercepted people in a county town of Anqing Prefecture.

Most of the common people have heard about the great name for a long time and have never seen him. They have seen Gu Chengzhi's appearance, but they don't know what Chu Junyi looks like.

Most of the people who went to Anqing Mansion to thank them were farmers from a few nearby villages. For example, this county is a little far away from Anqing Mansion, so it didn't take much effort to go there.

In fact, people in this kind of county can be more rational. They have never experienced the flood, and they mostly heard it from others. At least Chu Junyi has not seen those engraved with his and Gu Cheng's names along the way. longevity tablet.

The people under Gu Chengzhi are very familiar with Chu Junyi, and they know what Gu Chengzhi treats him, and this family member is not a woman, so there is no need to stay in the backyard.

As for Gu Chengzhi being the one to marry, this was selectively forgotten by them.

Different from the usual expressions when they saw Chu Junyi, when the people under Gu Chengzhi saw Chu Junyi this time, they were taken aback for a moment, and then they panicked and wanted to stop him.

Chu Junyi narrowed his eyes slightly, and walked inside.

The gate of the county government office was open, and Chu Junyi stepped in without hesitation.

The people behind them looked flustered, they couldn't stop them and didn't dare to grab them, for fear of hurting anything, Gu Chengzhi wanted to deal with them severely.

Chu Junyi passed unimpeded all the way, and soon saw the person he wanted to meet.

Gu Chengzhi had a cold face, the yamen guard followed behind him, and the opposite was a man in official uniform, who should be the local county magistrate.

And standing beside the county magistrate was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, who was quite handsome, with red cheeks and eye sockets, and an expression of grievance.

Chu Junyi's eyes froze, and he turned his head and made a silent gesture to the people behind him, telling them to keep quiet.

He would like to see, what do these people want to do? !

The few people who were silenced had cold sweat on their foreheads. They felt bad when the girl rushed into the county office. They never thought that Chu Junyi would arrive at this time...

The girl looked at Gu Chengzhi with obsessive love, and said aggrievedly: "I, I really want to serve Mr. Gu...The grace of saving life should be promised by your body, I, I..."

Before the words were finished, Gu Chengzhi and Chu Junyi's faces turned black.
