Cheng Feng was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened and he looked at Gu Hanzhang in disbelief.
"What do you mean, you want me to appear in front of others? Hanzhang, you can't push me into the fire pit just because you want to take your sister-in-law out for a walk!" Cheng Feng was shocked.
If he guessed correctly, Gu Hanzhang wanted him to enter an official career. How could this be possible?
Gu Hanzhang's face was full of seriousness, "You should have been like this a long time ago. I have blocked so many troubles for you. It is best for you to become an official now. When you become an official, you will attract the attention of those who are doing things secretly. They know your relationship with me."
"You mean, we will lure the snake out of its hole then?" Cheng Feng also calmed down.
"Exactly." Gu Hanzhang nodded.
The current situation is somewhat passive, so it is better to take the initiative and see what is going on.
Now that others are not in the capital, it will be easier for those who do it secretly to reveal their tricks, and it will be easier to deal with them.
There is also Shen Fang. To this day, he still doesn’t know who he is.
It's a pity that the memory of the previous life was not completely recalled, otherwise he could save a lot of trouble and know what Shen Fang wanted to do.
If he could tell Chaoli all this in his previous life, he would be able to finish the matter earlier and take Chaoli around instead of just spending more than ten days playing.
"Hanzhang? Gu Hanzhang? Why are you distracted again?" Cheng Feng looked resentful.
Really, if I want him to become an official, he is still distracted. He doesn't know what to do now.
"You don't need to worry. Since you have been standing behind the prince, you will naturally join the official position, but it is just in advance." Gu Hanzhang glanced at Cheng Feng lightly, "Even if I don't say it, Cheng Guogong will tell you."
It is true to say so, but Chengfeng is also a little uneasy. He did not expect to become an official so soon.
With Duke Cheng here, he does not need to take the scientific examination and can easily get an errand from the emperor.
However, he always felt that he could just stand at the back and not stand in front of others as a target.
It turned out that Gu Hanzhang was ruthless and asked him to stand up so quickly. He must have wanted to attract those people's attention to him in order to continue playing with Chao Liyou.
How heartless!
"If I had known it, I might as well not have come to find you. Who would have thought that I would be tricked by you." Cheng Feng rolled his eyes.
Gu Hanzhang's expression remained the same, "Since you asked, I still have to remind you."
"Oh? Are you finally willing to talk to me?" Cheng Feng said with a smile.
"My reminder is that you have to control your mouth. You need to know that trouble comes from your mouth. Be gentle. This is not the first time I have told you this." Gu Hanzhang sighed helplessly and added. , "It's easy to break if it's too strong."
Chengfeng's mouth is indeed very easy to offend people. Sometimes he speaks too directly, giving people the impression that he has a tough attitude, but he doesn't know it yet.
If one is not careful and is hated by a villain, it will cause trouble for oneself. Even if Duke Cheng protects him, it is impossible to protect him like this for the rest of his life.
"Indeed, if it is too strong, it will break easily, but if it is too fleshy, it will become loose. I actually understand the truth, but how do I control this degree?" Cheng Feng frowned and said.
Gu Hanzhang raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's very simple, you need to be strong and soft at the same time."
Cheng Feng almost cried, "You said it is very simple, but it is very difficult for me to do it!"
"When encountering something, you must show your attitude when you need to be tough. Don't be too afraid to say anything. When it's time to compromise, you must also remember that suffering is a blessing."
Cheng Feng frowned, "I can understand what you said, but I may not be able to do it. I understand myself."
Gu Hanzhang knew Chengfeng's temperament and he couldn't do that well immediately. No matter what happened, he would help.
"Don't worry, you have Duke Cheng and me behind you."
Hearing what Gu Hanzhang said, Chengfeng's eyes immediately lit up.
"I feel relieved now, shall I go back now?" Cheng Feng said.
"Well, go back." Gu Hanzhang nodded.
Cheng Feng said angrily, "Why don't you let me have a meal or go out for a walk with you?"
"There are still many things going on in the capital, and you need to go back and take charge." Gu Hanzhang said with a serious face.
"Don't you think I'm disturbing you and your sister-in-law, so you asked me to leave quickly?" Cheng Feng had a strange look on his face.
I thought Gu Hanzhang would not admit it, but who knew that he actually nodded seriously.
"As long as you understand."
Chengfeng Yuzu, he shouldn't have asked more, why must he be so mean-mouthed?
"Okay, okay, I understand. You guys love each other so much. I'm superfluous. Why don't I leave? I won't disturb you." Cheng Feng cursed and left.
Gu Hanzhang watched Cheng Feng leave and turned back to the inn.
Chaoli had already packed up and knew about Cheng Feng's arrival. As soon as he walked to the lobby, he saw Gu Hanzhang entering alone.
"Hey, isn't Chengfeng here?" Chaoli asked softly.
"I asked him to go back." Gu Hanzhang replied, but felt that he was not very detailed. "Don't pay attention to him. We will go to the next place according to the arrangement."
After hearing this, Chaoli roughly understood that Cheng Feng should have been driven away by Gu Hanzhang.
If it was not necessary, Cheng Feng would not come to them. Now that he was here, Gu Hanzhang would need to make a decision. Now that it seemed to be resolved, Chaoli didn't ask any more questions.
"Okay, listen to your husband." Chaoli smiled.
She didn't tell Gu Hanzhang that it was important to let him get down to business. After all, he had already made concessions and arranged everything. If she said so, Gu Hanzhang would have wasted all his efforts.
Gu Hanzhang understood that Chaoli knew everything.
The two of them had such a tacit understanding, and Gu Hanzhang was very satisfied.
After packing up, the two carriages set off again.
…
In the Songhe Courtyard of Zhenbei Hou Mansion, Gu Yuan took Fan Tong to play chess again. The two old men kept arguing and the whole courtyard was very lively.
"You stinky chess player, you regret playing again, you are so shameless!" Fan Tong shouted.
If there was no one else in the house who could play chess with him, and there was nothing to do on weekdays, he would not want to play chess with this guy Gu Yuan.
Really, it happens every time, it’s so shameless!
Gu Yuan chuckled and said, "What regrets are there? I just slipped my hand, but I didn't really get to that point. Stop talking and continue. Both of our games are draws."
"A draw? Do you dare to be more shameless? In the first game, you accidentally knocked over the tea, and in the second game, you accidentally knocked over the chessboard. If that's what you mean, you are not suitable for playing chess today.
What a fart!" Fan Tong was furious.
Hearing this, Gu Yuan was not embarrassed at all and still looked like he had a clear conscience.
"Oh, it's not like Hanzhang and his wife have left. I have no one to accompany me here, so I called you."
