Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Chapter 310 Live a fulfilling life
At the end of the day, Gu Yunji returned home in the evening, so tired that his back ached.

Seeing his dusty and muddy boots, Xu Shuhua was taken aback, and joked, "Where did you go? Why, the government office in Xuzhou is so poor that you still need to go to the fields in person Did farming subsidize the treasury?"

Gu Yunji rubbed his stiff and sore calf, and said, "It's not like going to the fields to farm, but I don't think it's much worse."

"One day today, I made a general tour of Fucheng, visited the pier, inspected the rice fields on the river bank, went to four villages in two towns, and solved a 'bribery case' and a The 'stealing rice case', although these two cases ended up being nothing, but they are enough to make me tired."

Hearing Gu Yunji finish what he had seen and heard today, Xu Shuhua's beautiful eyes were slightly surprised, and he said with a smile: "In this way, your first day as a new official has been really fulfilling."

"It's not just fulfilling, it's simply too busy."

Gu Yunji spent a day outside the majesty of the sentence, and now he returned home and relaxed, his face wrinkled into a bitter gourd, and he said sadly: "This is the first day, and I met a county magistrate who was involved in corruption and bribery. From the high land rent of Tongzhi Chen Xunzhou's family, and the case of the ownership of the land that I haven't figured out yet, I have to find the woman to ask about the situation later, there are still many things to do."

"There may be an official's instigation behind these matters, or the involvement of several forces. It is very difficult to solve. The water in the Syrian state capital is deeper than I imagined. This judgment is really not so easy to handle."

Xu Shuhua smoothed his frowning brows for him, and comforted him with a smile: "The reason why you are worried is because you want to be a good judge and really think about the people of Xuzhou Prefecture. Sitting leisurely in the government office, except writing some slobbering official documents to fool the boss, the other things are left to the people below, and I don’t care about it, why do you visit and inspect everywhere like you?"

"It's normal for official affairs to be difficult, just take your time. Do your best when you are in charge of the government. Every time you accomplish one more thing, the lives of ordinary people will be better. Maybe they Adding half of the meal can add a handful of rice and reduce a handful of chaff, isn't it more motivated to think like this?"

Xu Shuhua has always known how to comfort Gu Yunji, and with just a few words, he melted away the boredom and worry in his chest. When his wife gently pressed the center of his brows, Gu Yunji's heart softened. Now, how are you doing today?"

Xu Shuhua curled the corners of his lips, with a smile on his brows: "I'm doing well, but I'm also quite busy. I counted all the property at home and put it in the warehouse, and arranged the work and affairs of the servants before going out. I went to find out the market prices of grain and vegetables..."

Counting the things he has done today, Xu Shuhua's clear and bright big eyes flickered and flickered with joy, his whole body was filled with unfettered freedom and joy.Gu Yunji listened patiently, and only now did he really see something similar to his daughter's temperament in his wife - no matter how gentle and dignified Xu Shuhua is now, she was really a lively and cheerful girl in the past.

At the end, Xu Shuhua frowned slightly again, and said unconfidently: "Although I learned how to take care of the house from my mother when I was not out of the cabinet, but I haven't practiced it for several years, and it's still a bit unfamiliar to get started suddenly, and I don't know how to do it. Is it appropriate to do so?"

Xu Shuhua has always looked dignified and elegant in front of outsiders. Now that he is far away from the strict rules of the capital and her husband's family, the true temperament revealed by the relaxed spirit is even more precious. Gu Yunji lightly pecked her face: "My lady So smart, you can do anything."

Xu Shuhua blushed slightly, and whispered, "You're used to coaxing me, but you haven't seen the effect yet, so how do you know it's right..."

Gu Yunji smiled and said: "Just to be honest, how could it be 'coaxing'? The lady has been familiar with poetry and books since she was a child, playing piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, family management and financial management. The position has to be given up to you. Now you can only show your ability a little in the back house, it is really inferior, if possible, I hope you can be an official in the government office with me, and manage the Xuzhou government together."

Xu Shuhua heard him say more and more outrageous, laughed and scolded: "If that's the case, are we still husband and wife? Are you my husband or my colleague?"

Gu Yunji tilted his head to touch her cheek, and said with a low smile, "There is no conflict between the two. I am your colleague during the day, and resolve cases and manage politics with you. At night, I am your husband, warming your bed... "

"...and not serious."

Xu Shuhua's face was flushed, afraid that Gu Yunji would say something embarrassing again, he quickly reached out to cover his mouth, but he grabbed his jade finger and kissed it, his fingertips burned immediately, and he retracted his hand like a conditioned reflex, his neck was so ashamed It's a fan: "Rogue."

Gu Yunji smiled, stopped teasing her, and changed the subject in a considerate manner: "Okay, then I'll be serious. Now that you've arrived at the Xuzhou Mansion, where Emperor Tiangao is far away, you don't have to surround yourself all day long. Hou Zhai, do you want to go to the government office with me to have a look?"

Xu Shuhua's eyes lit up for a moment, and then he hesitated: "Is it okay? After all, it's your office, wouldn't it be great?"

Gu Yunji didn't care: "What's not so good? This is not the capital city, so there aren't so many rules. When I was on duty this morning, I saw some officials bringing their children, but I didn't see anyone Make irresponsible remarks."

"If you really have scruples, you can pick me up when you are about to leave duty, and you can also come to the government office to take a look, how about it? Besides, in the entire Xuzhou government, except for the prefect and the same prefect, it is your husband and me. The official is the biggest, even if they are dissatisfied, who dares to say anything?"

Xu Shuhua was amused by his pretentious domineering appearance, holding his face and smiling with crooked eyes: "Mr. Tongju, you are such a powerful official."

Gu Yunji brushed up the broken hair around her ears for her, and said jokingly: "No matter how powerful the official authority is, can't you subdue it? Today I rejected the girl sent by Xue Liu on the grounds of fear. I'm afraid it won't be long. Others will think that I have married a Hedong lion. If you accidentally ruin your reputation, my lady, what should I do?"

Xu Shuhua hooked his neck with both hands, smiling brightly: "What else can I do? The reputation of the Hedong lion has spread, so just sit down. From now on, I will come to the government office every day to pick you up and take you I'll take care of my free time, I'm afraid you'll still find me annoying when the time comes."

Gu Yunji looked like an idiot who was fascinated by her, and said willingly: "How can you be bothered? I'm happy to be taken care of by you."

Just kidding, it's not just a whim that Gu Yunji wanted Xu Shuhua to go to the county government office in Xuzhou Prefecture.Once a woman in this era is married, she will be trapped in the back house all her life, unable to break through the shackles of the two roles of "wife" and "mother".

Gu Yunji has seen Xu Shuhua's freedom and ease, and also knows that she is talented and beautiful, and he doesn't want to see her shrinking her horizons step by step in the back house.So after being off duty every day, he took the trouble to tell Xu Shuhua what he had seen and heard during the day, and told about his troubles and joys in official affairs, just to keep her from losing touch with the outside world.

Picking up her husband seems to be a very simple act. In fact, you can see a lot of new things and learn a lot of up-to-date news on the way. You can also learn about the daily life of the government "by the way" when Gu Yunji is working. Public affairs and current affairs of the court...etc.These things are definitely not something that can be easily obtained by embroidering at home with children.

Limited by the times, Gu Yunji couldn't give Xu Shuhua the same freedom and rights as him, but if he could help her open up a little space for activities on the basis of the original foundation, even if it was just a little, it would be better than nothing.
