C55 (1/2)
Probably no one expected Xie Cen to ask such a question. Ever since he had a new understanding of Gu Yun, the more he realized that it was a pity that this young master was buried at home, and he wholeheartedly pondered on how he could be an official.
Other people might not be able to get along, but Xie Jingxi and the old lady's faces didn't look too good. was better off being raised at home, she had planned to do whatever she wanted, but Marquis had been fine for more than twenty years, why did he start tormenting the other party the moment he became his Young Master?
Xie Cen probably did not have this thought in his heart. What he hated the most was for his own young master to look like a cripple and live his entire life.
However, Gu Yun did not seem to be surprised, his expression was normal. He was not a person who was willing to explain, but was very willing to act on Xie Jingxi's behalf.
It was a rather stiff sentence, but Xie Jingxi was able to hear a trace of pain in her heart that others could not understand. She suddenly started to hate Xie Cen, no matter how cold and indifferent they usually were towards her, from the standpoint of being raised for a whole round, she could still manage to get by.
Gu Yun was an outsider completely unrelated person, why did he need to accept this pain on behalf of Xie Family? How much does the future of Xie Family have to do with Gu Yun?
”Alright, alright, what are you doing? As long as Young Master and Jingwan are fine, we can't make them fall into the mud!”
After the old lady said this, Xie Cen relaxed his expression, ”Mother, don't be so anxious, I naturally have a plan in my heart.
He then turned to Gu Yun and said: ”After and I had a discussion, and since there was an empty seat for a Minister, we decided to temporarily place you there. When the spring is over, we can act as we see fit.”
The Minister of Storage was a subordinate organization of the Ministry of War, and was specifically responsible for the work of military personnel and weapons. According to a normal promotion criteria, it would take the Minister at least a few years to climb to this position. Since Gu Yun had no reputation, he had to go through the back door to get this job, which was already a very high starting point.
Actually, according to Gu Yun's background, just relying on his shadow would allow him to be a leisurely and avaricious official. Who knew how many casual jobs he had hanging in his Imperial Court, Xie Cen was completely able to find him a place that did not require much effort.
But if Gu Yun really wanted to do this, he did not have the time to worry about Xie Cen. His goal was still to get Gu Yun to become an official, and perhaps to him, being able to sell his relationship to Gu Yun was already his biggest exception, he was not willing to do such a thing, and so he decided to take the detour from Lu Family to arrange for Ministry of War, but his final goal was still to enter the Department of Revenue.
But it all depended on Gu Yun's experience, if it was not effective, Xie Cen could not drag him out, it would be said that he spent a lot of time and effort, as for Gu Yun's body, it was probably not within his consideration.
Xie Jingxi thought that with Gu Yun's free and easy character, she would probably reject Xie Cen's good intentions and let him interact with the other military personnel everyday. It would be funny just thinking about it.
But unexpectedly, Gu Yun didn't say anything, and only said: ”But Father-in-law is troubling you.”
Xie Jingxi wanted to pry open his head to see if she had grown hair. She was already prepared to reject Xie Cen, at worst, she would just let it go.
Suddenly, Xie Jingxi realised that Gu Yun was giving her face, saying that she could raise her head and answer his question in the family on purpose. She looked at him a little anxiously, as if she really wanted a response from him.
Could he be any more stupid? She needed him to take care of her face, she had long since abandoned the face of Xie Family, why would she want to take care of his? Xie Jingxi clenched her fists so tightly that her hands were trembling.
Xie Cen was very satisfied with Gu Yun's attitude as he pulled him and Lu Bingsheng to the study room to have a chat. Xie Jingxi suppressed the hatred in her heart and acted as if nothing had happened to coax the old lady, but the old lady held her hand and sighed: ”You're a fortunate child, Gu Yun is making things difficult for him.”
In front of Old Madem, no matter what, she had to suppress him like this. This way of suppressing him, her heart quieted down as she thought about it carefully, Gu Yun was not someone who could be manipulated by anyone, he was just like an aunt facing Marquis Mansion. If he was not happy, he could pull her along and disdain his, Xie Family was not even on that level for him.
That meant that Gu Yun had his own plans, but what kind of plans was worth it for him to risk his life for?
Xie Jingyi saw that she had something on her mind, so she pulled her to the courtyard, ”Don't worry, I've already greeted Bingsheng, his health is not good, he will not get tired, he only carries the name Ministry of War, even if he does not take up his position, no one will say anything.”
