Uncle Guo, your heart thief has been promoted again

"Do you have to go?"

Jiang Baoyu walked to Mu Gui's side in a few steps, but he didn't help.

"As an officer of the Shangfu Bureau, if you go to the Shanggong Bureau to act as an agent for Shanggong, aren't you afraid that you will not be able to do what you want?"

"Ah."

Mu Gui didn't stop holding his hands, and said with a smile on his lips: "I'm not the only one who is promoted across bureaus among female officials with the prefix Shang.

Not to mention, after your aunt passed away, didn't Mr. Liu Shanggong of the Shanggong Bureau also serve as the chief of the two bureaus?Ben Shangfu is more than [-] years younger than Liu Lao Shanggong back then, how could he be unable to do what he wants? "

"I don't care! Didn't you and my aunt earn the position of the royal merchant? Now that you say you want to leave, what is the rift between you and the promise that you won't see each other for ten years?"

"It's time to tell you something now."

Mu Gui finally put down his work, stood on the side of the table with his waist pinched, and said: "Afu, you go down first, I have something to talk to your elder sister Baoyu."

Afu stepped back and closed the door for the two of them outside.

Mu Gui took out a letter from the drawer and handed it to Jiang Baoyu.

"This is a letter your aunt wrote to me before she died of illness. You should read it first."

In fact, Jiang Baoyu has always been curious. Since Mu Gui and Jiang Rongxi have never been in touch with each other, why did Jiang Rongxi send a letter to tell Mu Gui to give up everything and return to the court.

So when Mu Gui gave her the letter, she couldn't wait to open it and read it.

Unexpectedly, there was only one page of paper. Judging from the ink stains printed on the paper, there should be at least one more page in the letter, but Mu Guiyin went to see what Jiang Baoyu shouldn't read, so he only handed what she could read to her. her.

However, there is only one line of words on this readable page.

"My life is near, return quickly."

"My lord and my aunt—"

"That's right, I have never had a quarrel with your aunt. It's just that I was in two different camps and in order to protect each other, I made this scene."

When Mu Gui spoke, the corners of her lips were still twitching faintly. Every time she thought of the tragic death of her best friend, but she was far away from home and unable to return to heaven, she felt heartbroken and could not forgive herself.

"Different—alignment?"

Jiang Baoyu frowned, seemingly puzzled.

Mu Gui said with a wry smile: "You can't understand, at that time, even if it was just a low-ranking female official like me, she had to rely on one side to be able to live in the deep palace that eats people and doesn't spit out bones." , to save lives.

Wanting to do one's own job wholeheartedly is simply a luxury. "

Jiang Baoyu couldn't help sneering, and said: "How can the lower officials not understand, isn't this the situation in the palace now?
It's just that Xiaguan believes that relying on one side to protect himself is not the only way out, and it is not impossible to do his own job wholeheartedly. "

As she spoke, Fu raised her head, looked at Mu Gui and said with a slight sneer: "Only weak and incompetent people would think of relying on others instead of relying on themselves to survive! Isn't this what adults teach subordinates?"

"Of course it's good for you to think like this. This is what your aunt and I hope to see. After all these years, I have really put in a lot of effort to let you children see such a new world.

But at that time, there was no such possibility at all, as long as you know it. "

Mu Gui is always like this. When he is too lazy to explain, he will directly order and let Jiang Baoyu figure it out by himself. Different camps, then my aunt was working in the Harem Fashion Bureau at the time, and based on her relationship with the empress, she was naturally the empress's person.

So, who is the adult?The emperor's man? "

Because before Mu Gui left the palace, she was already the Secretary of the Imperial Clothing Bureau, and after returning to the palace, the emperor would strongly support every proposal she made. So Jiang Baoyu felt that he was making a reasonable guess.

But Mu Gui's face also showed the eyes that Shui Hanzhou looked at her when he was fishing in Shouchun Lake in the daytime.

This made Jiang Baoyu very annoyed, "What does this mean, my lord? Did I guess wrong?"

Mu Gui didn't tell her clearly, but smiled and said: "Silly boy, what you need to understand is that sometimes what you see with absolute certainty is just what others want you to see.

What is the specific truth, you need to experience it with your heart and judge according to common sense, instead of just trusting your eyes, sometimes, even your eyes can lie to you. "

"It's like you and my aunt, isn't it?"

When Jiang Baoyu thought of Jiang Rongxi, her nose felt a little sour unconsciously, and when she thought that even Mu Gui was about to leave the Shangfu Bureau, she was even more reluctant, and subconsciously grabbed Mu Gui's hand and said, "So, my lord, what are you doing?" What are you trying to tell me? Or can I really not join you guys and do what you guys are doing right now?"

Mu Gui held Jiang Baoyu's hand backhandedly, shook his head at her and said, "Silly girl, your aunt handed you over to me because she wanted me to take good care of you.

What I want to tell you is that in the palace from now on, even if you want to indulge yourself, do what you think is right, be a happy and just female official, and create a fair and just environment for your descendants. This is your mission And responsibility, you don't need to take care of other things, so don't ask too much, understand? "

I don't know why, but Jiang Baoyu always felt that Mu Gui's words seemed to be saying goodbye. He knew that the distance between the Queen's Shang Palace Bureau and the Queen's Shangfu Bureau was only the end of the street. If she missed her, she could go to see her at any time.

But at this moment, she felt as if she was about to say goodbye to the person in front of her forever.

Jiang Baoyu felt this feeling for the first time after Jiang Rongxi was taken out of the palace by Uncle Yongfu.

"My lord, I don't want you to go. Didn't you say that I'm still young? I still have a lot to learn from you. I'm so stupid, how can you bear to let me go? Don't go, even if it's for me, you Can't you stay?"

As Jiang Baoyu said, tears fell into beads unconsciously, but Mu Gui didn't feel sorry for him at all. He shook Jiang Baoyu's hand, turned his head away, and hummed softly, "Don't make people cry with sweet words here, let's talk about you." This kind of annoying person who only causes trouble, what do I have to miss? The Shang Palace Bureau is in charge of the Sixth Bureau, and I go there to be the Shang Palace, isn't it good? This is none of your business, you should also step down!"

At that time, seven or eight female historians came over, saying that Xu Shanggong sent them to help Mu Gui move things. Jiang Baoyu and Afu just watched Mu Gui leave without looking back.

Seeing the figure of her master getting farther and farther away, she has been with her for five years. When she first met her, she still had black hair. Now she has gray hair, and even her back is a little hunched.

Jiang Baoyu dragged Afu's chin with both hands, and wept.

"What should I do, Afu? We don't have a master anymore, woo woo woo~"

In the end, Afu broke away from her hand, stood on the opposite side and tilted her head to look at Jiang Baoyu like a fool and said, "It's because you don't have a master anymore, Sister Baoyu, but I'm still a good apprentice of the master."

As she spoke, she took out a palace card from her body and said: "Master said, if there is anything I don't understand in my homework, I can go to the Shang Palace Bureau to find her at any time."
