Chapter 211 Attrition
When Mu Gui just left, he said that he had something to go, but in fact he was bored, and went to find Xu Shanggong unhappy.

In the middle of the night, he was taken out of the quilt to drink. The annoyed Xu Shanggong couldn't bear it anymore, and he drank two large jars of dirty wine, and finally drove him back.

But Mu Gui was not drunk at all, and went back to the small courtyard helplessly.

Xiao Hei and Xiao Qing slept next to each other under the eaves, and the old hens also entered the coop.

Mu Gui looked at Jiang Baoyu's room, the lights had already been turned off.

After hesitating again and again, she decided to go and have a look. She walked up the steps and gently opened the door a small crack, but she didn't see Jiang Baoyu's figure.

So she opened the door suddenly to make sure, but there was no one there.

gone?

That child is still the Jiang family after all, so he can't escape the fate of going to Jiang Yuanhui's place, right?

That's fine, after all, Jiang Baoyu is old now, even if he goes to Jiang Yuanhui's place, he will be a good, upright and kind boy.

That was enough, and it was time for her to return Jiang Baoyu to the Jiang family.

Mu Gui thought this way, but still couldn't feel at ease, sighed, frowned, and walked towards his room.

As a result, when he opened the door, he saw Jiang Baoyu lying on the desk, as if he had been waiting for too long and fell asleep.

Mu Gui froze in front of the door, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.

No, she was sure she was.

In her heart, she also very much longed for this child to stay and accomplish more important things with her.

But at the same time she was sad.

Because that important thing is doomed to be thorny, and it is a road of no return.

Succeed or die!

So she was very scared, afraid that she would not have enough ability to protect this child, just like she failed to save Jiang Rongxi in time.

But probably because the night wind had cooled down a little, Jiang Baoyu shivered quickly, stretching his arms and waking up.

Half of her face was imprinted by her arm, and there was still some pain in the process of returning blood, which made her look unattractive. Because she was still sleepy, she half-closed one eye.

Jiang Baoyu quickly found Mu Gui standing in front of the door, stood up immediately and said with a smile, "Why did you come back? My little girl has already spread the bedding for you. Come in quickly, my little girl will wait for you to go to bed."

Mu Gui walked in, and he couldn't believe that what he saw was the real Jiang Baoyu, so he smiled unnaturally.

"You didn't go back with Jiang Yuanhui?"

Jiang Baoyu froze, and soon said with a smile: "My lord, you are joking. I am a member of the Royal Shangfu Bureau. What are you doing with Jiang Shangfu back to the Eastern Palace Shangfu Bureau?"

"But now that you are the number one in the female officer examination list, you have the right to choose where you want to go. If you want, you can go."

Mu Gui probed carefully, and added: "If it's because you don't trust me, then I have no objection. You can choose where you want to go."

"really?"

Jiang Baoyu re-rolled the quilt for Mu Gui, and turned around excitedly.

But Mu Gui's heart skipped a beat, and she thought she was still worried about my thoughts, maybe she wanted to go to the East Palace Shangfu Bureau?

"Well, really. When did Ben Shangfu lie to you?"

In the end, I saw Jiang Baoyu walking over quickly, grabbed her arm, pulled her, and walked towards the bed: "Then I won't go anywhere, I will stay by your side, continue to pester you, and learn from you ,OK?"

Mu Gui was in a trance for a while, and couldn't believe his ears for a long time.

"Why? I have always been harsh to you, and I often steal your money. What future do you have with me? After all, Jiang Shangfu is your real aunt, and she is always better than me."

"Why else? Of course it's because I spent money."

Jiang Baoyu knew that Mu Gui was not willing to let her go, so her beautiful eyes narrowed into two bends, and said: "That's enough money to support a border town for several years, you taught me this, so you want to drive me away ? The idea is too beautiful, right?"

As Jiang Baoyu said, he helped Mu Gui to sit on the bed and waited for her to take off her shoes and socks.

Mu Gui slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and looked softly at the fluff on the girl's head with a look of relief.

But he still teased Jiang Baoyu: "But I don't have a suitable position for you here. If you stay with me, why don't you continue to be a little maid?"

"That's impossible!"

Jiang Baoyu immediately stared, she took so much effort to get to the top of the list, is it because she wants to continue to be a little palace maid?

So she immediately asked curiously: "Is there really no job vacancies?"

Mu Gui nodded.

"You also know that when I came to the Royal Shangfu Bureau three years ago, I took advantage of the opportunity of the Eastern Palace Shangfu Bureau to replace a group of older female officials.

Now the structure of our imperial clothing bureau is stable, except for the death of Wu Dianyi's mother, the empress allowed him to go back to fulfill his filial piety, and there is still one vacancy, there is no other vacancy. "

Mu Gui said, looked at Jiang Baoyu's thoughtful expression, and continued: "This year, a total of six candidates from our bureau and clothing department took the exam, except you and Qing Meng, and Shun Lan also got a place.

Shun Lan entrusted her relationship early, and got a quota in the Harem Shangfu Bureau.

Now this position is between you and Qing Meng. If it is assigned by you, who do you think should be kept and who should not be kept? "

"Do you want me to compete with Qingmeng?"

Just as Jiang Baoyu was about to fall into deep thought, he suddenly smiled cleverly and said, "Hey, don't fool me, my lord. I have all passed the examination for female officials. How can I not know that all the female officials in the palace, except for the female history, are quotas?" two?

Now our Department of Yi, from Dianyi to Siyi, only has one person. Even if Wu Dianyi's vacancy is not counted, there are at least three vacancies. How can there be only Wu Dianyi's vacancy? "

Mu Gui still didn't change his face, and said with a smile: "We are different from the Harem Shangfu Bureau, because they have to serve many high palaces, so they need a lot of people, while we only have to serve the emperor.

Right now, the war situation in the north is uncertain, the imperial court is developing new weapons, and the Guangling Canal has just been built in the south, and the treasury has spent a lot of money. The emperor and empress are very worried about this.

When I met the emperor this morning, Ben Shangfu had already asked himself to reduce his staff. "

"What can the national treasury cost?" Jiang Baoyu stood up in shock, "The construction of the Guangling Canal was obviously spent by our family. My father was not crying for poverty, but the emperor was crying first. Now even the salaries of court ladies , he doesn’t even want to take it out?”

"presumptuous!"

Mu Gui immediately changed his face and reprimanded Jiang Baoyu: "You are going to be a female official now, so you should know how to be cautious in your words and deeds."

Although Jiang Baoyu was still not convinced in his heart, he also knew that Mu Gui was right, so he had to sit back in a wronged manner, but he still pouted with his head down, looking unhappy.

Seeing her like this, Mu Gui felt joking.

"Don't be angry, isn't there still a vacancy? At worst, I'll do Qingmeng a favor and help her get a vacancy from Chen Zhaodi?"

"That won't do!"

Jiang Baoyu stared, and immediately retorted: "Qing Meng has been in the imperial court since she entered the palace, and she doesn't like to socialize, and Chen Shangfu is not friendly, how can you ask Qing Meng to go there?"
