Quick Transmigration: My First Female Skill Takes Effect

Gu Jia Sanlang?

"Is it Gu Pingsheng?" Wen Zheng asked again, his eyes filled with doubt.

The attendant replied yes.

Wen Zheng asked Mei Hua to help her change her clothes, as she had to receive guests. She also glanced at her daughter, who looked like a monkey, and said, "Give her a change of clothes too."

The two countries were on good terms, and their customs on the frontier were different from those in the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty.

There's no need to be wary of the children of long-standing family friends meeting once.

Zhao Yue lowered her head, looking very reluctant as she went to change her clothes. She was going horseback riding in the afternoon, and if she changed now, she would have to change again later.

She wore a bright green dress and her hair was still in a ponytail; this was her last act of defiance.

As she stepped out of the inner room, she saw her parents sitting in the head seat. Turning her head, her light steps faltered.

Directly opposite her was a boy of about fourteen or fifteen, with his hair in a ponytail tied up with a jade hairpin, and his face glowing like jade.

Zhao Yue recalled a poem: A gentleman is like jade, which can be cut and polished, carved and refined.

He seemed like a gentleman from a scholarly family, not like the sons of military generals.

After a moment's thought, she unconsciously slowed her pace and her breathing became lighter as she walked to the front of the hall and bowed to her parents.

Zhao Yifeng introduced her: "Gu Sanlang, Gu Pingsheng, is your Uncle Gu's son."

Gu Pingsheng had already stood up. Seeing Zhao Yue bow to him as an equal, he looked at her with a clear and honest gaze. After Uncle Zhao finished introducing them, he returned the bow.

Zhao Yue walked to the left and sat down next to her elder brother, Zhao Yan.

"Big brother."

"Second Sister."

After the two greeted each other, Zhao Yue pointed at Gu Pingsheng and asked softly, "Why is he here?"

It should be noted that General Gu Liang was stationed in Huai Prefecture, which was separated from You Prefecture by Ya Prefecture.

Zhao Yan leaned towards Zhao Yue and whispered, "Sanlang is going back to the capital, so he came here specifically to say goodbye to me."

The three sons of the Gu family were all on the border, and only the elderly, women and children were in the capital. The emperor was worried about them, so he specially sent an imperial envoy to summon Gu Sanlang back to the capital.

It was said that Gu Liang had worked hard and made great contributions, so Gu Sanlang was granted an official position through hereditary privilege.

Zhao Yue nodded; it seemed she wouldn't be staying at her house for long.

As the sun reached its zenith, the meal prepared to entertain the guests was also complete, and Zhao Yue ate with them.

After the meal, she accompanied her mother back home, while her father took Gu Pingsheng to the study and gave him a few words of advice.

Zhao Yan then went to prepare some travel supplies for Gu Pingsheng.

Everyone has their own life to live.

"Pingsheng, when you get back, you might as well represent General Gu and send some gifts to Li Erniu, who is by His Majesty's side, so that he can say some good words for the general in front of His Majesty," Zhao Yifeng said with experience.

Li Erniu is Li Grandpa, and he doesn't feel comfortable using that title in front of younger generations.

His gift has already been sent.

The messenger returned and said that Li Erniu had agreed to speak out for him.

Upon hearing this, Gu Pingsheng refused with youthful spirit: "No need, Uncle Zhao. My father was His Majesty's former study companion, and my entire Gu family is in the capital. Our loyalty goes without saying."

"His Majesty will not believe the words of those petty men."

Zhao Yifeng added another piece of advice: "If a petty person talks too much, people will eventually start to have doubts."

"Wouldn't it be better if you nipped His Majesty's suspicions in the bud?"

Gu Pingsheng nodded helplessly: "Alright, I know Uncle Zhao means well. I'll see if there's an opportunity when I get there."

"it is good."

In the afternoon, at 3:45 PM.

Gu Pingsheng, carrying the gifts from the Zhao family, mounted his horse, with his guards following behind. He clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "When I return to Huaizhou in the future, I will definitely come to see you."

Zhao Yifeng waved to him.

Zhao Yan waved in return.

Gu Pingsheng was riding his horse when a sudden gust of wind swept through the sky, and when Zhao Yifeng opened his eyes again, he could only see some dark shadows.

He turned his horse around and went home.

Zhao Yan was slightly surprised to see his father return home with him instead of working in the governor's mansion in the front courtyard.

The rest of the Zhao family remained quite calm.

They have witnessed this for two whole months.

The magistrate actually read to the child in his wife's womb every day. This military general, like a scholar, softly recited the books of sages that he had previously disdained to read.

"Scholars are wise, and I have truly suffered for the sake of our children." Zhao Yifeng said after reading another passage from the Analects.

He told the baby in his belly about the hardships of being a father.

He even tentatively asked, "After you finish reading the Analects, how about your father reads you military strategy books? This is our family's livelihood; we can't lose it."

He said whatever he wanted, but the baby in his belly didn't move.

Because it's not time yet.

Mingqi is still asleep and cannot answer her father's question for the time being.

Wen Zheng lay on the couch, her head resting on her hands, and listened to the man's rambling words, agreeing on behalf of the child: "This is definitely a good idea."

"We parents can only feel at ease if our children have more skills. By the way, Yifeng, you learned your military strategy from General Gu, right?"

"Yes, General, your kindness to me is immeasurable."

"Since you're going to teach the child, shouldn't you go through it from beginning to end? Also, before the child is born, you should write a letter to General Gu asking about any questions you have about military strategy."

"That way, when the child is born, you'll be able to teach him fluently."

The teachers invited from outside all need to practice what they are going to teach in advance.

Zhao Yifeng: "...That makes sense. I've been quite lax these past few years." General Gu gives him a great sense of security.

"I will begin preparations tomorrow."

After talking with the child for a while, Zhao Yifeng reluctantly left, as he still had official business to attend to.

Walking to the front courtyard of the government office, he arrived at his room and his gaze fell on his desk, where a stack of official documents to be processed looked like a headache.

Zhao Yifeng walked over, stopped in front of the table, then picked up a book and looked at the general contents written on it: "Greetings, Your Excellency. How have you been lately?"

A lengthy and elaborate list of praise, several hundred words long.

He shook his head and tossed it aside, then picked up another book, which contained an additional sentence compared to the previous one: "This year's favorable weather is all thanks to your leadership."

Zhao Yifeng dropped the document again, covering his forehead with one hand and waving to his trusted aides behind him: "Give all these official documents to Chief Clerk Ning, and have him pick out some of the important ones and send them to me."

"He approved all the unimportant gossip."

The trusted confidant could only carry the official documents to the neighboring office to find Chief Secretary Ning.

Zhao Yifeng took out his old notes from the bookshelf, thinking that it was better to start today than tomorrow.

The confidant, seeing that there were more official documents beside Chief Secretary Ning than in his arms, lowered his head in shame and put them down for him: "Chief Secretary, the magistrate said: Please pick out the important documents for him."

"You can approve the other greetings and such."

Ning Changshi looked up at the stack of documents in front of him, which had grown even larger, and asked, "Zhao Dahe, can you see the pile of official documents in front of me that reaches my shoulder?"

"I can see it."

"Then why are you still releasing it?"

"It was at the behest of the magistrate."

After saying that, Zhao Dahe covered his face and left, not daring to look Ning Changshi in the eye.

Chief Secretary Ning: "..."

Have you learned to run away?

That's impressive!
