Quick Wear: BE cannon fodder does not follow the routine

Chapter 581 Sir, Please Stay (43)

"Let's go back slowly. You're pregnant now. What should I do if something unexpected happens to you from all the hard work you've done in the past few months?"

"I'll pay attention to that in the future."

Deng Wenjie did not dare to return to Fuxing City too slowly, because he still had an official position to hold, and he only took Gu Yuxi to visit some places along the way.

It was noon when they returned to the county magistrate's mansion. Dongfeng held up an oil-paper umbrella, and Deng Wenjie carried the sleeping woman out of the carriage.

"My lord, you..."

Deng Wenjie put his index finger to his lips. The housekeeper and others understood and stood aside waiting.

After sending the person to the room, Deng Wenjie came out. There must be a lot of things to deal with in the next few days, and he must be very busy.

"Sir, some people have suggested that Madam should breed more laying hens. They also want to raise a few."

"Madam is pregnant now, so it's not appropriate for her to go to the farm. If anyone wants to buy chicks, you can sell them at the current price."

"it is good."

After a few words, Deng Wenjie sat in his study and began to review official documents. He had to take Gu Yuxi to the capital in twenty days, but he was worried about her health...

A few days later!

"Sir, the locust plague control has been very effective. His Majesty wishes to see you and your wife, and orders the masters to depart today."

"I see."

Deng Wenjie had just finished dealing with those complicated affairs when he received news from the capital. The emperor's order was difficult to disobey, so he had to travel with his wife.

"Husband, let's go early and come back early, and visit our family in Beijing on the way."

"Your husband has been running around all the time because of worrying about you. My body can't take it."

"I am fine."

"I have been a burden to you. After we go to the capital this time, we can take our children with us during the New Year next year if we have the chance."

"Ah."

With the opening of the new official road, Deng Wenjie and his party reached the capital in about four and a half days. After entering the Deng Mansion, Deng Wenjie and his wife were looked at like monkeys.

"Oh, you finally came back."

"Hello, sister-in-law."

When Gu Yuxi returned to the Deng Mansion again, he had a lot of feelings in his heart. There were several new people in the mansion.

"At the beginning, you ran off to that remote and poor place to be the county magistrate without saying a word. Your father and I were unwilling to do so. Now you have made great achievements. You are worthy of being a descendant of my Deng family."

"Let's find a chance to return to the capital. After all, it's not safe outside."

"Father, I was able to gain a foothold in Fuxing County thanks to the help of General Gu and my wife. I am living a good life there now."

"You... Is it better than the capital city outside?"

"Although it's not as good as the capital, it's the place I worked hard to govern. I want to see it become better and better. This is the agreement I made with my colleagues."

Deng Wenjie declined all the suggestions to stay in the capital to work. There were too many forces involved in the capital, and now his elder brother-in-law had handed over most of the military power to the prince who was about to ascend the throne.

Perhaps there will still be some fluctuations, because some princes are restless, so Fu Xing is safer.

"Since you've said so, we won't force it. Don't regret it later. Since you want to make a career, then continue to maintain this good state."

"Yes."

The next morning, Gu Yuxi and his wife met the emperor and the crown prince in the Xuanzheng Hall.

The two stood respectfully. The emperor smiled and said slowly, "Everyone, stand up. Please take your seats."

He responded, "Thank you, Your Majesty." Then, they all slowly sat down.

The emperor turned his gaze to one of them and said amiably, "I have not seen Lord Deng for many years. You have been doing your duty and working diligently in Fuxing County, managing that land in an orderly manner.

Madam Deng is also extremely intelligent and cares about the people. She is good at governing, which is rare. I am very pleased! If I can let you come to the capital to serve, it will surely be a blessing for our dynasty."

Deng Wenjie quickly stood up from his seat, bowed, and said earnestly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness and praise. It is my duty to help Your Majesty with your worries and difficulties. This is my blessing.

I just hope that Your Majesty can withdraw the order to let me serve in the capital. At present, my ability is still insufficient, and there are still many matters in Fuxing County that need to be dealt with. I really don't want to give up halfway. "After saying this, he bowed deeply again.

The emperor nodded slightly to show his understanding, and after thinking for a moment, he said loudly: "In this case, I will naturally not force you.

However, I have heard about this disaster relief matter from the Prince of Zhenjiang. You and your wife have made outstanding contributions in this matter, which is truly admirable.

Mr. Deng, with your talents, perhaps you should not be limited to Fuxing County. From today on, I appoint Mr. Deng as the governor of Fuzhou, and work with the governor of Fuzhou and other officials to govern the land there."

Deng Wenjie was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. I will definitely fulfill my mission and do my best to assist you and benefit the people of Fuzhou."

"As for Madam Deng, you have treated the victims, promoted many high-yield crops in Fuxing, and solved disasters. You are a role model for contemporary women. I will plan to make you a second-rank imperial lady from today. I hope that you and your wife can continue to solve problems for the court."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Madam Deng, I haven't seen Princess Jingshu for several years. When I saw her yesterday, she seemed much more mature and stable. Tell me what interesting things you and your sister-in-law have experienced in Fuxing over the years. We can just chat among our family members."

Facing the two most noble men in the world, Gu Yuxi was cautious in his words and actions, and knew how to tell these people some strange stories.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect such a weird thing to happen. Those people who were scared definitely didn't know it was the catfish in the ditch that caused the trouble."

"Father, what should we do about this?" the man asked, handing over a memorial.

"Now that you are about to ascend the throne, you should think about it yourself. Lord Deng, Madam Deng, let's talk somewhere else."

The prince only saw his old father leaving with a smile. Wasn’t the memorial in his hand less important than those funny stories and jokes?

Gu Yuxi and Deng Wenjie were about to leave the palace, but they didn't expect a maid to say behind them: "Sir Deng, Madam Deng, please stay."

Seeing who it was, Gu Yuxi stepped forward and said, "Auntie Kui."

"Madam, please excuse me for a moment."

When they reached a secluded place, Gu Yuxi said, "Madam, please speak."

"This is a secret letter from the Queen Mother to Madam, telling her not to meet anyone she shouldn't."

After hearing what Aunt Kui said, Gu Yuxi immediately understood what the Queen Mother meant. She was not allowed to see Li Haozheng again, but she had clearly rejected him.

She said, "I know what the Queen Mother meant. Now that I am a married woman, the man who was not worthy of me before is even less worthy of me now. Please reply, Madam, so that the Queen Mother can rest assured."

"Madam is smart. With your words, the Queen Mother feels much more at ease."

Gu Yuxi bowed, then took the letter and left the palace, opening it halfway.

"Ma'am, is there a problem?"

"The Queen Mother doesn't want me to stay in the capital for too long. My husband, I really don't know what the prince is thinking. Now that my brother has handed over his military power and become a civil servant, the royal family won't worry about our Gu family, right?"
