Chapter 345 Big Brother Is Useless
Gu Huaizhi's move did a great favor to Su Wan. It made her worry free and she didn't have to think of other ways to attract people to donate money.
Jing Yun admired Gu Huaizhi very much for his foresight.
"Brother, you are now a second-grade official. Why don't you give me a commission for my mother and sister-in-law?" Jing Yun felt that it was inappropriate, with a serious expression on his face: "An official can only give you a commission. If you gave it to my sister-in-law, you didn't give it to your mother." Please, that will definitely give someone a reason to talk about it. Well, my sister-in-law founded Baishantang to benefit the people. Now she is going to open a relief society. How about I give her the title of Mrs. Zhou? "
Gu Huaizhi: "..."
This Madam of the State of Zhou must be of the first rank based on Jing Yun’s thoughts.
The wife's grade is ordered to follow that of her husband.
He is a second-grade official, but his wife is a first-grade official.
Jing Yun also realized this and murmured: "Brother, my sister-in-law is not the one you asked for. Isn't it okay if I don't follow your rank?"
With that said, without waiting for Gu Huaizhi's reply, he touched his chin and said, "No, this makes the eldest brother too useless. Is he still the second-grade Mrs. Zhou Guo?"
Gu Huaizhi's face darkened: "I haven't tested my knowledge during this period. I just have time today so I can test it."
Jing Yun's life was pinched in an instant, "Brother, there are still memorials to review. You have been in the palace for a long time, and my niece is only thinking of you." He dropped these words and ran away dejectedly.
Gu Huaizhi missed his wife and daughter, and felt that he had accomplished something important for Su Wan, so he returned home to claim credit.
Now that his identity was revealed, Gu Huaizhi didn't need to be secretive and went home directly.
He went to the study to change out of his official robe, put on a soft and smooth dark coat, and went to the main room to visit his wife and daughter.
The little guy opened his big eyes, looked around, and finally settled on him.
"I haven't seen you in a while. Do you miss Dad?" Gu Huaizhi's heart softened. He held the child in his arms and pressed his forehead against hers. Seeing her staring at him unblinkingly, he said with a smile: "She still looks at him now." Isn’t it clear? I always feel like she saw me when I came in.”
"Things will be blurry within a month. You can only perceive light and shadow when you are far away. Only when you are close can you see clearly." Su Wan was a bit annoyed. In the past, when Gu Huai came home, he would look for her first.
Now when I get home, I hug my daughter quickly.
"Did your entry into the palace go smoothly today?"
"It went well." Gu Huaizhi sat on the edge of the bed, teasing the child, and said, "The relief society has already taken shape. Someone will send money for Jiaojiao's full moon ceremony."
Su Wan knew what was going on without asking. She smiled lightly and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Gu."
"Madam is delighted." Gu Huaizhi remembered something: "I told the people in the house to call my mother the old lady from now on, you and I are the master and madam, and Jiaojiao is the young lady."
The little lady sounded weird.
Su Wan had no objection, it was just a title.
Her interests were all in the relief society. If you stayed in the house for a month, you would get moldy. Fortunately, there was one thing to do.
She couldn't hold it back: "Huaizhi, you take care of the baby, and I'll work out the process."
"Don't be tired. Dr. Liu said you shouldn't overuse your eyes, as it will hurt your eyes." Gu Huaizhi followed Su Wan while holding the child: "You hold the child and give guidance, and I will write."
"It doesn't matter, I am a doctor myself, so I know it well." Su Wan smiled and stood on tiptoe to kiss his cheek: "I have you and the baby, so I will take better care of my body."
Gu Huaizhi had no choice but to compromise, but ordered Qingyuan to light a stick of incense and let her rest after the incense burned.
Su Wan had something to do and felt that time passed unusually fast.
Gu Huaizhi now takes office as a new official, but he is unable to spend more time with his wife and daughter at home.
When the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel resigned from office, Gu Huaizhi had to take over his duties and handle the heavy official duties, which made him hit the back of his head with his busy feet.
Su Wan hoped that he would not stare at her if he had something to do. He was not allowed to do this or that.
In the blink of an eye, the full moon ceremony is approaching.
It was agreed before that only relatives and friends would be invited, but after Gu Huaizhi told his colleagues about the invitation in court, he naturally sent invitations to them all.
The night before the full moon ceremony, Gu Huaizhi was stopped by Zuo Shilang: "Sir, Li Yushi and others are hosting a banquet and setting up a table in Cuiyan Tower to apologize to you." Before Gu Huaizhi refused, he hurriedly said: "They heard that you were going to open a relief society. They called many wealthy businessmen, and they were all waiting for you there."
Gu Huaizhi thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and went to Cuiyan Tower with Zuo Shilang.
Li Yushi had been waiting at the door for a long time. The moment he saw Gu Huaizhi, he greeted him enthusiastically: "It's an honor for me to come here to honor you, Mr. Gu. Come with me!"
Gu Huaizhi glanced around calmly. The hall was full of guests, and every table of guests was accompanied by a woman.
His eyes were slightly cold, and he lowered his eyes and went up to the private room on the second floor.
As expected, several officials had already arrived, as well as a few middle-aged men who were familiar to them. They were the wealthy businessmen Zuo Shilang said. Their expressions were particularly reserved and they did not dare to speak randomly. They only laughed along with them.
Five or six beautifully dressed women stood in a row, seemingly waiting for the host and guest to choose first.
"Master Gu, please take a seat." Li Yushi asked Gu Huaizhi to take a seat and winked at the woman beside him.
The woman at the head had a delicate appearance, a pair of clear and moving eyes like apricots, and she was wearing an apricot-colored long skirt, which made her skin as jade-like as frost and snow.
She walked to Gu Huaizhi's side in a slim manner, and her voice was soft and charming: "Sir, Yan'er is here to serve you."
