The Gu and Li families are developing more and more steadily here, even faster than when they were suppressed by the late emperor in the capital.

The capital side has given a few more official positions to those in Guangdong and Fujian, including civil and military officials. Although they are low-ranking and their official positions are not high, they are much better than those who were severely suppressed before.

This can be regarded as reciprocation from relatives in the capital. They wrote letters saying that the situation in the capital was not very good. The new emperor also admitted several beauties into the palace. He did not do any official work all day long and supported a confidant to take care of the government affairs for him. Sometimes he was not available for a long time.

The longest time I went to court was half a month without going to court, and all the officials were at a loss.

Now everyone misses the Li family and the Gu family very much, especially when the two old men were here, as well as the dead prime minister. They were stable in the court, and the people were harmonious and prosperous, and there were not so many bad things.

Every day, every official does not know whether they will die tomorrow or whether they will be ostracized.

More and more people from aristocratic families and noble nobles were being squeezed out. Everyone was very nervous. People in the court began to win over each other. The sons of the eldest prince were not too old, and the eldest one started to win over him when he was only thirteen years old.

The dispute over the position turned into a mess.

This is why many low-level officials, the Gu and Li families, can get opportunities, because the emperor is no longer in charge, and the officials in the capital are also trying to find ways to join forces to gain connections. The legs of the Gu and Li families are still very thick. It’s not that no one sees the Night King’s ability.

, not that I didn’t expect it, but that it was inconvenient.

Now we can only take a tortuous path, win over the Gu and Li families first, and occupy a corner position, so that it will be better than being liquidated later.

Boss Li, Grandpa Gu and others began to frequently deploy people to serve as local officials in the outskirts of Fandi. Almost all capable uncles and elders in the family got good opportunities and were sent out.

Instead, those who stayed in Fandi were direct descendants. This time, almost all the collateral descendants of the Gu family left. The clan members were very grateful for the kindness of the direct descendants.

In fact, everyone understands that when the war breaks out, the direct descendants choose to stay and bear the responsibility and danger, leaving the chance of survival to the descendants of the collateral descendants, leaving the incense to continue to exist outside. If there is any danger, the children stay outside and do not have to come back.

.

Even the thirteenth uncle was arranged by Gu Lei to serve as an official in Guangdong.

There is another good opportunity this time. The suitable manpower in the family is gone, and the remaining ones are half-grown children who cannot be released to serve as officials.

Li Yu thought of a person, "Xu Heng."

"Well, why did you think of him?"

"Instead of giving opportunities to others, it is better to give opportunities to oneself. Lin Yue is also considered to be raised by the Gu family. It is better to give Xu Heng a chance. He also represents a power from a poor family. Luo Hang can also consider it in the future. As long as they treat their wives well, everything else is not a problem.

, my Gu family can afford it."

She smiled confidently.

Grandpa Gu thought for a while and said: "Since you are willing to promote me, you can consider it. After all, Yue'er is considered a child raised by the Gu family, and she should be protected."

When the Gu family ran a jewelry workshop, Lin Yue was the first to place an order, running around to place orders and promote them, and she helped a lot.

Lin Yue gives gifts to the boys all year round, including pigs, cows, sheep, clothes, cotton clothes, cotton trousers, and armor. They have never been broken. They have been given to them for many years. They are really helpful to the Gu and Li families. They are also more sensible than before and know how to treat each other with etiquette.

, can become a human being.

"Xu Heng is still capable. He did a good job writing documents for me. Luo Hang can also do this job. We don't need so many people. Why not give the opportunity to Xu Heng? If there is a chance, we must focus on our own talents first.

.”

"Okay, let's decide like this."

Gu Lei specially called Xu Heng to talk.

"I asked you to come here to discuss something. There is a local official position in Fuzhou. I want you to go. Are you willing to go?"

Xu Heng's face showed a look of surprise, and then he frowned, "Brother, I want to go, but my daughter is still young. I can't leave Yue'er and the child behind. Can I take care of my family? What about my brother?"

Gu Lei was not unhappy, but smiled happily. He thought of his family first, and he was a responsible person, not an official fan.

"You can take your cousin and the child with you, and leave your younger brother to continue studying. There is someone in the yard. He is also fifteen years old. He should learn to live independently and take care of the housework. If he does well in two years, it's time to say goodbye."

"Didn't my cousin buy him a house and a farm? It's not a big deal for him to run the shop for his brother and sister-in-law. Isn't it possible that he can't even do this?"

Gu Lei has also met Xu Jin. He is a very stable boy with good knowledge and is worthy of training.

"Of course not. Brother Jin has been studying general affairs with me. I'm afraid he won't be able to resist on his own."

Xu Heng felt a little hesitant.

"You go back and discuss it with your cousin. Your sister-in-law and I are here. It's not a big problem. It's a rare opportunity."

"Okay, brother, then I'll go back and discuss it with Yue'er."

"OK."

Xu Heng went home to discuss the matter with Lin Yue Xujin.

Xu Jin was the first to speak, "Brother, you go ahead. I'm watching over you at home. Besides, I'm not doing well and my cousin is so awesome. Don't worry, the stewards won't worry about it. My cousin won't be slapped to death."

They are the weird ones."

Li Yu often came to Lin Yue's house to visit her, give gifts, and see her goddaughter. She took great care of Lin Yue's family and never forgot them.

Lin Yue also smiled, "Go ahead, I'll go with you, and I'll take my daughter with me."

"Okay, since you all agree, let's go together. Brother Jin, you can stay and look after me while you study. When you come back after taking the examination next year, I can also say goodbye to you."

"Okay, brother and sister-in-law, you can go ahead and I'll look after the house."

Xu Jin nodded sensibly, knowing that his brother and sister-in-law were good to him. They also helped take care of the children and settle accounts, and helped with as much work as possible.

The Xu Heng brothers that Wang found for Lin Yue were of good character, and Lin Yue is very satisfied with her current life.

After discussion, Xu Heng replied to Gu Lei and agreed to take up the post.

Gu Lei sent the Gu family to escort them to take office. Lin Yue took her child with her. She said that she had been abandoned by her mother and was left alone in the Gu family. She had to take her daughter with her wherever she went. Others could dislike her.

She cannot despise her daughter because she is useless.

She hopes that her daughter can learn from Li Yu, be brave and strong, and be courageous and perseverant no matter what difficulties she faces.

This is what she has learned from Li Yu and from this troubled world over the years.

Li Yu supports her decision this time and is very pleased that Lin Yue is getting stronger and stronger, especially as a mother, she understands the principles of human nature better and is more considerate than before.

After Xu Heng left, the Gu family took more care of Xu Jin. Li Yu still had regular classes at the academy, so she could take care of him nearby without worrying too much.

With Li Yu and Gu Lei here, the manager of Lin Yue's shop would not dare to play any tricks. Today is different from the past. Gu Lei is no longer the easy-to-fool young man back then, he has long been the leader of the clan.
