I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 533 Invitation from Prefect Mao
"Brother Hui, Sister Yun."

She hastened to embrace a pair of sons and daughters, her voice choked up unbearably.

"Our three lives are lucky to be rescued by the old lady, and now they treat us as equals as their own people. But they treat us well, this is their kindness, but we can't really forget ourselves just because of the old lady's care identity!"

"You must take good care of the young masters and ladies in the future, and you must not be negligent, remember?"

"Mother, don't worry, I remember it, and I remember it firmly!" Lu Qinghui nodded quickly.

Lu Qingyun also nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. "Mom, I like my aunt and miss! They are good people!"

"It's not just that they are good people? Their whole family says they are good people, very good people!" Lu Yueniang said with emotion.

As she spoke, she hugged the two children tightly again, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes again.

It's just that Xia Ying finally returned home, and she and Gu Tuo only had time to rest for a day, and the next day they discovered——

They have already been targeted by others!
It was Mao Zhifu who came to the door first.

As early as the night of the Lantern Festival, Gu Tuo's method of channeling the crowd had already been appreciated by the magistrate.If it wasn't because Gu Tuo needed to be quarantined, he would have brought someone there the next day to be his right-hand man!
Now that the ban was finally lifted, and Gu Tuo was safe and sound, the magistrate of course no longer had any scruples. He asked the master of the mansion to bring his own letter to ask Gu Tuo to help him the next day.

However, Gu Tuo didn't want to go at all.

"I'm just a mere carpenter, and what I did on the night of the Lantern Festival was just a matter of urgency. It's nothing compared to the methods used by the magistrate to organize people to manage the provincial capital these days. Yuan Master, you'd better pass it on to the mansion, and ask him to invite someone else!"

He rejected the person immediately and clearly.

The master looked shocked. "Master Gu, do you know what you're talking about? Now is the chance that the magistrate personally sent a post to invite you. No matter how many people ask for it, you can't ask for it! And even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your children Consider it?"

He has said this very blatantly.

After all, Gu Tuo is now a businessman. Although at this time, the son of a businessman can buy an identity and go to school with a little extra money, but wouldn't it be more comfortable for the child to be the second generation of officials than the first generation of officials?

Mao Zhifu was originally a person with ability and ambition, and he was a dignified fifth-rank official, which was already an unattainable status in the local area.

If Gu Tuo followed him, as long as he performed well in the future, he would be promoted to an official position.If magistrate Mao continues to be promoted, Gu Tuo's status will also rise accordingly.

In this way, no matter how Gu Yuanlong or Gu Yuanhao brothers want to develop in the future, they can save 30 years of struggle through the relationship of Gu Tuo, the father.

Not to mention Miss Fu.If she has the status of an official lady, wouldn't her in-law's family be chosen randomly?
So following Mao Zhifu's words, there is absolutely nothing to lose!

But Gu Tuo still said coldly, "I won't go."

The master was speechless.

He quickly winked at Xia Ying. "Mrs. Gu, I heard that Master Gu listens to you the most, so why don't you persuade Master Gu?"

"Oh, master, what are you talking about? I am a woman, a weak woman, and I have always been the only one who listens to my man. When will it be his turn to listen to me? You must not go out That is to say, otherwise, where will I show my man's face?" Xia Ying hurriedly waved her hands.

What she said...

The master was dumbfounded when he saw her such a virtue of talking nonsense with her eyes open.

Gu Tuo couldn't listen anymore.

"Master Yuan, please wait a moment, we husband and wife go to discuss it first."

"Okay, okay, master Gu, please." Master Yuan nodded hastily.

Gu Tuo immediately pulled Xia Ying away.

Gu Tuo let go of the two of them when they reached the back yard. "Are you going so far as to say the truth?"

Hearing her say that just now, goose bumps almost fell all over his body!

He is now completely sure: Xia Ying is really not suitable for the role of a good wife and mother, the words gentle and virtuous have nothing to do with her at all!

Xia Ying covered her lips and snickered: "You can also pretend that you can't hear my subtext, just recognize it directly! Then I can't do anything to you, can I?"

"You have disgusted me so much, can I still ignore it?" Gu Tuo looked helpless, "Just tell me, what do you want to do?"

"It's nothing, I just want you to agree to the prefect's invitation." Xia Ying said.

Gu Tuo's face darkened. "I have already said--"

"I don't agree, right?" Xia Ying answered, "I heard it just now, you said it twice, and your attitude is firm, there is no room for backing down!"

"If that's the case, why are you wasting this effort?"

"Because I know that the reason why you don't agree is because you don't want to be promoted because of this, you just want to stay in Gu Ji safely and be your master Gu, and then develop Gu Ji thoroughly, right?" Xia Ying asked.

The displeasure in Gu Tuo's eyes faded a little.

"Since you know everything, why do you still say those things?"

"Because I think at this time, you should stand up and help the magistrate."

"I've already said—"

"Sister! My good husband, good brother, can you listen to me first?" Xia Ying quickly hugged his arm, and she called out delicately.

Gu Tuo suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning, a tingling sensation spread all over his body, and there were more goosebumps on his arms!

but……

Apart from the discomfort at the beginning, a sense of comfort slowly emerged in his heart?

Xia Ying's "good husband, good brother" is quite useful to him!

Of course, he would never say such words.

So the man immediately shut up and didn't speak.

Xia Ying hurriedly said: "Of course I understand what you mean, otherwise, with your ability, which official master do you want to follow, and then get yourself an official position, isn't it easy? Since you have never gone to this If you go on the road, it means that you don't have this intention. I have respected your opinion all these years, haven't I?"

"But now, there is a plague in our Jiangbian province, and the magistrate is busy all by himself, and there is a shortage of people around him. Since you are capable, why don't you help? You didn't do it on purpose. Mao Zhifu seeks glory and wealth, and you only want to save the people in our Jiangbian province who are suffering from the plague!"

Hearing her interpretation of this matter in this way, the resistance in Gu Tuo's heart faded by half again.

"If you say that, I really should stand up for this matter. After all, the people are innocent. It's just that I'm worried..."

"I know, you are just worried that if you behave too well, the magistrate will give you an official position and stop you from doing business! It's simple!" Xia Ying clapped her hands, "The big deal is that you make trouble while doing business, and in the end you will be rewarded. Wouldn’t it be enough if it’s just enough?”
