1172. Chapter 1172 5
After breakfast, he summoned him at the warm room.
Gu Qian has not worn the official uniform. Even though he is now an official, he is still wearing a long gray cloth gown, but the material is just slightly better than before. I haven't seen him for a long time, and when I saw me in the first day of Chu, he still looked so restrained.
I sat there and received a gift from him, and then let him sit.
"I haven't seen you for so long, but you still look like this. Look at your outfit, I want to be a clean official."
Because of Gu Qian's dull nature, I occasionally like to tease him. These words were just joking with him, but I didn't expect him to get up and hold his fists, "As a lower official, he was ordered by the emperor, and he should set an example for his local parents and officials. He should put the people first in everything, and he should not be arrogant, extravagant and deceitful, and corruption and fraud are absolutely necessary."
I didn't expect that he would take it seriously, and his stern look made me laugh.
I turned to Hua Wuyan and said, "See, his temperament has not changed at all," and then looked at Gu Qian with a smile, "I just laughed at you, but you can take it as real."
When Gu Qian heard this, he grinned and looked like he didn't know how to cry and laugh. His face was blushing to the center of his ears. Then he clasped his fists again, but he smiled embarrassedly.
I didn't tease him anymore, and just asked, "You are here in Yuzhou this time, will your mother, wife and children come with you?"
After hearing this, Gu Qian paused for a moment and then replied, "The official is asking for a 'restoring'."
"What?" I was very surprised when I heard this.
Our country has always valued filial piety. If an official is a member of the family, he will have a system of "Ding and Worry" when his parents die.
Ding You was called "devouring love" by the government after three years of mourning, and only after the three-year period was over. According to the needs of the country, Ding You was not allowed to retire and mourn, and Ding You was called "devouring love". The "recovery" mentioned by Gu Qian refers to people who had been mourning for three years but were recalled by the court for some reason.
I looked at Hua Wuyan, but he didn't agree, and thought he knew about it.
Gu Qian took a deep breath, then smiled bitterly, "The princess doesn't have to worry about it. My mother's life is not easy, but she only hopes that I can make a name for herself as a parent official who can plead for the people. Now I have been supported by the princess and entered the official career, which can be regarded as repaying my mother's wish."
Even though Gu Qian said that, I felt that he recalled him during his mourning period, which made me feel a little embarrassed.
Gu Qianxun saw my intentions, and paused and said, "Even if the princess does not summon the officials to Yuzhou, the officials still intend to submit a request to report "recovery". This is not that the officials are unfilial, but what my mother hopes for throughout her life is that the officials can be a good manager. Now the world is already..."
Gu Qian didn't say anything more, but I also understood his thoughts. The world is gone, and what's the use of being those skills? It's better to be a good official. His mother's knowledge is also a comfort.
Hua Wuyan walked forward and patted Gu Qian's arm. Sometimes there is no need to say much about what men do.
When I chose Gu Qian as my prefect of Yuzhou, I was still hesitating whether he could be competent for his position and whether I could entrust Yuzhou to him.
Now my heart is mostly lost.
The seventh day of the seventh month is the Qixi Festival, and it is also the day for me to get married with Hua Wuyan.
And this day a year later became a day like a wedding.
