Now that he has decided to experience the life of a mortal, serving as an official for the country should be considered a part of being a mortal. However, Guo Yi really does not want his son to fall into that kind of officialdom. The customs and rules in the officialdom will pollute his purity.
Mind. It is definitely not conducive to his future growth.
He wanted to bring a clean Guo Nian with him, and also wanted to see a clean Guo Nian leave.
Weiyang gave herself a clean and pure Guo Nian.
Then how could I hand him a contaminated Guo Nian?
"Are you determined to become an official?" Guo Yi asked.
"Yes!" Guo Nian nodded.
"Okay, then you have to promise me that you must be clean as a person and honest as an official." Guo Yi looked at Guo Nian seriously.
"Father, please rest assured!" Guo Nian bowed respectfully and said, "Nian'er will never be corrupt in his life, and he will never do anything that is unworthy of the monarch or the people of the world."
"Okay, I believe you for now." Guo Yi nodded.
"Thank you, Father, for your trust." Guo Nian was overjoyed.
Guo Nian's grades are among the best in school. There is no problem in the national examination.
After three days of national examination.
Guo Nian actually succeeded in becoming the second place in the national examination with the second place in the Wu Kingdom, and was summoned to the palace by the King of Wu the next day.
Guo Family Courtyard.
Guo Yi stood at the door alone and lost.
"Husband, what are you looking at here?" Zi Xing asked curiously.
"I'm looking at a figure fading away!" Guo Yi sighed.
"Husband, I think your worries are unnecessary." Zixing held Guo Yi's hand and said, "Nian'er is very sensible. Moreover, you have taught him since childhood, so he will definitely remember your words!"
"Do you really think a person can emerge from the mud without being stained?" Guo Yi shook his head, turned and walked towards the yard: "It's impossible."
Looking at Guo Yi's back, Zi Xing suddenly felt a little distressed, and this distress was an inexplicable one.
the next day.
Guo Nian entered the court together with the people who were listed on the list to meet the monarch.
As he wished, he entered the court as an official and became a parent official.
Guo Nian did not work as an official in the capital, but went to a small city more than 200 kilometers away from the capital to serve as an official.
"Father, mother. The child is serving the country now. It is time for the child to feed his parents in return." Guo Nian knelt in front of Guo Yi and Zixing and said imploringly: "Please come with me to Youzhou City."
Zixing turned to look at Guo Yi.
Guo Yi shook his head and said, "Nian'er, are you really determined to become an official?"
"Yes." Guo Nian nodded and said, "A man has ambitions everywhere. I shouldn't live an ignoble existence and live an ordinary life."
"What's wrong with being more plain?" Guo Yi asked.
"As long as a person lives, the grass and trees will fall. Even the grass and trees know how to compete for beauty in the spring, let alone a seven-foot man like me?" Guo Nian knelt on his knees and said, "So, I want to serve the country and contribute to the people.
.Even if you can’t be famous forever, you must still become a pillar of talent.”
"Well, since you have made up your mind, I can't stop you." Guo Yi smiled slightly and said: "However, your mother and I will not go with you to Youzhou City. After all, we are used to living here. Change
If I go to other places, I’m afraid there will be something wrong.”
"Father!" Guo Nian was anxious, and he said earnestly: "As the saying goes, if parents are here, they will not travel far away. If you don't go with me, how can your child govern a country with peace of mind, and how can he serve the country with peace of mind?"
"Don't worry." Guo Yi waved his hand and said: "Your mother and I are still in good health, so you don't need to worry about it. If anything happens, I will ask someone to deliver a message to you."
Guo Nian was silent for a moment, and finally could only nod.
He said helplessly: "Well, since father has made up his mind, I can't stop him. I will hire two maids to take care of the two elders later."
"No need." Guo Yi shook his head and said, "Your mother and I are used to living as two people, and it would be uncomfortable to have more people in the family."
"Yes!" Guo Nian nodded.
Afterwards, Guo Nian kowtowed three times, stood up and left.
Looking at Guo Nian's back.
Zi Xing was a little reluctant to give up.
"Husband, why don't you go to Youzhou City with Nian'er?" Zixing pursed her lips and said, "Don't we live the same life wherever we go? I'm still a little reluctant to leave Nian'er."
"He has grown up and should have his own life." Guo Yi stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly toward the door.
Outside the yard, a carriage took Guo Nian away quickly.
Zixing also hurriedly walked out, reluctantly watching Guo Nian leave.
Zixing asked: "Husband, I don't think Nian'er will become the person you said."
"Really?" Guo Yi showed a smile.
"Yes!" Zixing nodded firmly and said: "I know Nian'er very well. He has your inheritance in his bones. He is cold, arrogant and aloof, and will never do anything that disgrace his family. I believe he will
He will become a good official with great achievements."
"I hope!" Guo Yi sighed and said, "I have no intention of letting him become an official. I just want him to live a good life, marry a wife and have children, until he leaves this world quietly. This is my biggest concern.
Long-cherished wish.”
Guo Yi's inner goal has always been to experience the life of a mortal.
But it’s a coincidence!
Guo Nian's approach caused him to deviate from his goal.
When you become an official, who knows what will happen?
Court struggles and national wars may lead to trouble at any time. These are things that Guo Yi does not want to see. But now, these things may happen at any time. Guo Yi is just an ordinary person now and cannot cast spells at will.
He turned into a mortal and practiced hard for ten years.
for what?
Isn’t it just to understand the way of heaven, to attain the way and become a god!
If I give up these ten years of hard training, I'm afraid all my efforts will be in vain.
Ten years!
For cultivators, it is only the blink of an eye, but for mortals, it is out of reach and takes an extremely long time.
Guo Yi is not stupid, he is very clear and understands these things.
Zixing looked at Guo Yi's worried look and said, "Husband, are you worried about anything?"
"Yeah, I'm worried that something will happen to Nian'er!" Guo Yi sighed.
"Husband, how can something happen to Nian'er?" Zixing smiled and said: "This is a great thing. You see, everyone in the city praises us Nian'er. Every day I go shopping for groceries, and Aunt Zhang also
I have always wanted to be a matchmaker for Nian'er, but I rejected him."
"A woman's opinion!" Guo Yi shook his head and walked away.
The smile on Zi Xing's face froze.
She pursed her lips and said, "Yes, I am a woman, so husband, please tell me, what can happen to Nian'er?"
