Du Qi left the Duke of Qin's Mansion and quietly returned to the Du family.
After resting for the night, the next morning.
Du Qi left the Du family early in the morning and went out of the city. This trip to the north was relaxed and carefree, without any burden. Moreover, the journey was smooth. However, when Du Qi returned to the Gate of Yan, it was already September.
The weather was getting cooler and cooler, and there was even a trace of coldness. Du Qi returned to the Chief Steward's Mansion. He first met with Du Ruhui and told him about what happened in Chang 'an, as well as the Eastern Palace and Li Shentong.
After Du Ruhui finished listening, he was also very happy.
Although he was an official, his contact with the Duke of Qin's Mansion had not been cut off. They had always been in contact.
After Du Ruhui finished listening, he praised, "Father already knows about the matter of you repairing the road from Chang 'an to Lantian County. This section of the road has been repaired. Moreover, this concrete road is indeed extraordinary. The concrete that you concocted is very extraordinary. "
Du Qi said, "Father praises me too much."
Du Ruhui said solemnly, "The number of properties under your command is already increasing. The expansion of the family property means that it is easy to be attacked by others. The more it is at this time, the more careful you have to be. "
Du Qi said, "Father, don't worry. Son understands."
Pausing, Du Qi said, "Father, where is elder brother?"
Du Ruhui said, "Your elder brother is at the mansion."
Du Qi said, "Father, arrange for someone to invite elder brother over. I have a decree from His Majesty for elder brother."
Du Ruhui immediately arranged it. He was rather curious why Li Yuan would have a decree for Du Gou. Du Ruhui did not ask for the time being. Before long, Du Gou entered the study.
Now that Du Gou was already married, he was much calmer. He first bowed to Du Ruhui, then looked at Du Qi and said, "Second brother is back. Mother often talks about you."
Du Qi said, "I'm back now. I won't be leaving for a while."
Du Su said, "That's good."
Du Qi and Du Gou were brothers, so they were family. Therefore, Du Qi did not go through any complicated procedures. He directly took out the imperial edict given by Li Yuan from his sleeve and handed it to Du Gou, saying, "Brother, this is the imperial edict given to you by His Majesty. You are ordered to be the county magistrate of Mayi County and go up north to take up your post."
When Du Mo heard this, he was very shocked.
He had been staying at home and reading books to broaden his knowledge. He did not expect that he would be promoted to the county magistrate of Mayi County in Shuo Province.
This was his opportunity.
Du Gou didn't say much. He directly took it and said, "Erlang, the county magistrate of Mayi County was also plotted by you, wasn't it?"
Du Qi said, "Because I completed the construction of the road from Chang 'an to Lantian County, His Majesty appointed you as the County Magistrate of Mayi County. Furthermore, His Majesty had also heard that Elder Brother was talented and hoped that Elder Brother could display his talents. Now that Elder Brother has a family and established a career, it's time for Elder Brother to start a career. "
Du Gou was honest by nature, but he was not stupid. He had his own ideas. He said, "Erlang, don't worry. I know what to do. Moreover, this Shuo Province's Gao Manzheng has a good relationship with our Du family. Being the county magistrate of Mayi County won't be too difficult with Gao Manzheng around. Moreover, the Turks are in decline now. They won't be able to invade the south in a short time. "
After a pause, Du Gou said, "Being the county magistrate of Mayi County is also an opportunity."
Du Qi said, "It's good that Elder Brother understands."
Du Gou was a man who was swift and decisive. He was honest by nature, but he was also decisive in doing things. He said, "I'll go pack up and prepare to go up north."
Du Ruhui said, "Remember to say goodbye to your mother."
"Yes!"
Du Gou answered and turned to leave.
Only Du Ruhui and Du Qi were left in the study. Du Qi talked about some things in King Qin's Mansion and inquired about some things in Daizhou. Then he left the study and went back to his own yard.
However, Qianxue and Li Yanyun had come.
Du Qi had been away for more than half a year. Although the two women were busy with business, they still cared about Du Qi and cared about Du Qi. Now that they saw Du Qi, the two women were very excited. They sat around Du Qi and talked about their love.
On the other side, in Du Gou's yard.
Du Gou and Wei Yuanchun were sitting opposite each other.
Du Gou took out the imperial edict and said that the Emperor appointed him as the county magistrate of Mayi County and that he would go up north to take up the post. After that, Du Gou said, "Madam, what I mean is that we go up north to Mayi County together. What do you think?"
With the Jeong Clan at home, Wei Yuanchun didn't need to do anything.
So Du Gou had this idea.
The relationship between Du Gou and Wei Yuanchun was quite harmonious. As newlyweds, they didn't want to be separated. Besides, Wei Yuanchun was a well-educated girl from a big family and could give advice to Du Gou. So Du Gou was reluctant to let Wei Yuanchun go up north alone.
Wei Yuanchun thought.
She was not worried about Du Gou's future.
After all, Du Gou was the eldest son.
Although Du Qi had his own property, Du Gou inherited the original property of the Du Family. So Wei Yuanchun was not jealous of how rich Du Qi was and how many properties he had.
Du Gou was honest and had a good relationship with Du Qi.
As long as the brothers didn't have conflicts.
Du Gou's future was not bad.
Now, Du Gou had the official position of a fifth-grade county magistrate.
Wei Yuanchun was actually quite satisfied with her current situation. This was because Du Gou was magnanimous and honest, and he treated her extremely well. It was just that they had been married for a few months, but her belly was still pregnant. That was Wei Yuanchun's regret.
After thinking for a while, Wei Yuanchun said, "There's no problem with my husband's idea. I agree with your arrangement to go up north to Mayi County."
A smile suddenly appeared on Du Gou's face.
He was relieved to hear Wei Yuanchun's words.
Moreover, it was great that Wei Yuanchun went with him. Du Gou was happy about it.
Wei Yuanchun said, "We have to tell mother about our plan to go up north to Mayi. Otherwise, she won't be happy, and the loss will outweigh the gain. In addition, you became the county magistrate of Mayi County. Although you are famous for your talent, there are countless talented people in the world. So I have to thank Erlang for this. Husband, you should thank Erlang. "
As Du Gou's wife, she should arrange the domestic affairs for Du Gou.
She should be a good wife.
Du Gou said, "I've told Erlang. As for Mother, I will explain it clearly to her. "
Wei Yuanchun said, "That's good."
In fact, she didn't think that the Jeong Clan would stop her and Du Gou from going up north together. After all, the Jeong Clan wanted to have grandchildren. So she and Du Gou going up north together was also good for carrying on the family line.
Although the Jeong Clan was the head of the family, they were also very easy to talk to. They always thought about their children.
The husband and wife talked privately for a while. Then Du Gou got up and went to see the Jeong Clan. As Wei Yuanchun expected, the Jeong Clan supported Du Gou and his wife to go up north to Mayi County. They also told Du Gou to have children early and spread the family line.
