2111 The fifth generation
Gu Xin solved two cases in February. The people from the Supreme Court and the capital governor’s office were respectful towards her at first, but now, they were full of admiration for her.....
Mr. Qin already had a lead on the first case, so Gu Xin only went to continue her investigation. She already had a lot of evidence and clues, so she didn’t think much of it.
However, this second case was completely directed by Gu Xin. She did not wrongly accuse anyone or punish anyone wrongly. She even used three days to find the real murderer and only used the people from the capital governor’s office. For someone who was new to this case, this was really not bad.
At the end of February, the Emperor had sent someone to the Gu residence, saying that he and the Empress Dowager would be coming over for dinner at night, and that everyone would be reunited.
The Emperor had also said that he would invite Gu Hui, Gu Nian, and Gu Qingyuan’s family.
Under Gu shouxin’s management and the emperor’s respect, Gu Qingyuan had now been promoted to the Vice Minister of Revenue.
Gu Qingyuan had the memories of the original owner. The original owner had entered the officialdom through the imperial examination and was a County Magistrate in a small county under the bustling Suzhou government for a few years. After Gu Qingyuan transmigrated, he made many outstanding achievements in his office and was transferred to the newly established Linzhou government to serve as the magistrate for three years. Although his resume was not good enough in the eyes of some people, he was a child of the Gu family and was indeed capable, so it was quite easy for him to become the assistant Minister of Revenue.
As for the various obstacles he would encounter after taking office, the Emperor and Gu shouxin would not help him. He had to rely on himself.
That night, the Gu family’s kitchen had been preparing a feast since after lunch. After everyone arrived, they were served one by one.
The Grand Empress Dowager held Gu Hui’s hand and asked her about her recent health.
Gu Hui had been pregnant for three months and the fetus was stable. There were no more morning sickness. She was envious when she heard that Gu Xin was living a fulfilling life.
She told the Empress Dowager that if it was possible, she would like to take a walk around the military camp.
The Grand Empress Dowager naturally did not allow it. She patted Gu Hui’s hand kindly. “Huihui, it’s not that great-grandma doesn’t allow it, but you’re carrying great-grandma’s most precious child. There couldn’t be any mishaps. You can play anywhere in the capital, but you can’t leave the capital. Once they were out of the capital, great-grandma was worried that there would be places that she could not take care of. Just be good and listen to me, okay?”
The child in Gu Hui’s stomach was the Grand Empress Dowager’s fifth-generation descendant. How could she not be nervous?
She was going to be 80 soon. Although she had always been in good health and full of energy, who knew whether tomorrow or an accident would come first? She just wanted Gu Hui to take good care of her baby so that she could see her fifth generation of children and grandchildren.
Zhang Shi also tried to persuade him,”Hui, what are you thinking?” In the past, if you wanted to go, we would allow you to go. But now, you’re pregnant. Don’t go! I’ll fall out with you if you go!”
Grandma Gu agreed with Zhang Shi this time. She glanced at Gu Hui. “You were bored at home, so you came back to plant flowers with me and your grandfather. Otherwise, you can ask your second aunt to teach you how to draw. You’re not allowed to go to the military camp!”
Gu Hui,”Yingluo.”
Her mother, her grandmother, and her great-grandmother did not allow it. Could she resist? He couldn’t resist, so he could only agree.
Peng ze, who was sitting at the next table, heaved a sigh of relief. Recently, Gu Hui’s pregnancy reaction wasn’t that strong. She really wanted to go to the camp every day, and he almost couldn’t stop her. Fortunately, the Yue family was very supportive!
