...

Ling Fengge's face turned ugly as he listened to Guo Ping's scolding. He endured the embarrassment and did not dare to attack. He tried to show a plain expression and smiled at Guo Ping.

After a long time, he spoke, "Madam, being a husband is also a military member. What can you do if you don't serve in the Imperial Guard? This position of chief of Changle Palace is really not suitable for me..."

When Guo Ping heard this, he shook his head and said, "Do you have to stay in the army if you are from a military background? Okay, even if you want to stay in the imperial guards, you should at least climb a few steps up. I don't ask you to be the commander of the imperial guards. At least you should be the General of the Tiger General, right?

As a result, for two years, you are still a small inner city commander. Even if you are a thousand households, the imperial court has only added a title for his father's sake. His annual salary is only 280 taels. This is not even a waste in the capital."

Speaking of this, Guo Ping grabbed another jade chain and said to Ling Changge: "Look at this necklace, you can tell that it costs hundreds of taels just by looking at the quality. I'm afraid that your annual salary is not enough, alas..."

Ling Changge was scolded by Guo Ping, and could only stand aside timidly. When Guo Ping's anger faded, he whispered: "Madam, I will work hard to join the Tiger Army and will not be embarrassed. Please give me some more time?"

Guo Ping put down the necklace and said, "You don't look at what this place is under your feet. This is the most prosperous place in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty. How majestic the emperor can enter this city, especially the inner city, who is not ambitious to climb upwards?

I am guarding a small imperial guard like you, and I will never raise my head forever. Look at the relatives of our Guo family, who are not famous and wealthy. Every time I take you to see them, I am so shameless to say hello to them. Even if you don’t think about yourself, can you think about me and my father?"

Ling Changge, who was scolded by his wife again, his cheeks twitched, and his hanging palms were holding them tightly.

Seeing that her husband's expression was embarrassed, Guo Ping sighed heavily, then his tone became softer, and said to him kindly: "I'm showing this look to me again. Isn't this for your own good?

Forget it, after all, you are a commoner, and it is indeed not easy to reach this level today. I shouldn’t be too harsh on you. You should choose more things in this shop. Tomorrow the Emperor rewards the triumphal soldiers and enthrone the former military governor. There will be countless high-ranking officials and nobles present at the time.

When I was given a banquet, I would like to take care of you and find a job with a high salary for you, so I would not be looked down upon..."

While speaking, the merchant had already put three bead hairpins and sand beads in several exquisite boxes and handed them to Guo Ping.

Guo Ping took it and put it in the wooden box in the hand of the maid behind him, then took out six silver notes from the purse hanging on her belt, each worth hundreds of taels and handed it to the Fanshang. As the Fanshang thanked him repeatedly, he took Ling Changge to the next jewelry counter.

When Guo Ping brought Ling Changge to a vase made of topaz, she couldn't help but sigh: "This kind of workmanship is really meticulous. The shopkeeper, how much does this product cost?"

A fat businessman in gorgeous clothes heard this and smiled at Guo Ping, quickly looked at the two of them, and said to Guo Ping with a smile: "Madam, this is a good treasure, made by a skilled craftsman with pure color jade. The price is 3,000 taels of silver..."

Guo Ping frowned when she heard this, glanced at Ling Changge who was at a loss, and then said to the fat businessman: "Pack it for me, I'll want it..."

"Okay..."

The fat shopkeeper responded happily, and then ordered the clerk behind the cabinet to carefully hold the jade bottle behind the curtain.

"Madam, what else do you want? There are all kinds of hidden numbers here..." Seeing that Guo Ping was so generous, the fat shopkeeper naturally would not miss the opportunity to slaughter the fat sheep and continued to bewitch her to buy other things.

Guo Ping thought for a while and said, "Shopkeeper, do you have something suitable for giving away people here?"

"Yes, yes, yes..." The fat shopkeeper was so happy that he couldn't stop and replied repeatedly, "Madam, don't worry, I'm not bragging, these guys are all serving the dignitaries in the city. Even Princess Yuxiang comes to the lords from time to time..."

Guo Ping nodded and then said to the fat shopkeeper: "I'm a little tired all the way, so I'll just ask the shopkeeper to choose another six or seven for me..."

The fat shopkeeper was happy when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Madam, please sit next to you for a while. I will have someone to serve you tea, and then go and choose it yourself, and wait..."

Guo Ping nodded, then went to a table not far from the front of the cabinet and sat down. After a while, someone brought the freshly brewed tea.

While resting, Guo Ping pointed to Ling Changge at a couple not far away and said, "Husband, have you seen that couple? The third son of the Xu Taiwei family in the current dynasty, called Xu Chong, and the fourth lady of the Yuan family in Ganzhou. Both of them were prominent families in the current dynasty.

Then Xu Chong finally returned to the capital once. If you have the chance tomorrow, you and I will get closer to them together. After all, in this capital, there are many friends and multiple ways, which will also be helpful to your future career..."

Ling Changge nodded and said, "What the wife said is even written down for her husband..."

Just when Guo Ping wanted to continue teaching Ling Changge's connections, a beautiful image suddenly entered the gate of the jewelry store...

This woman is the wife of Li Suwen, the Marquis of Zhenliang, Princess Yuxiang and Wei Ying.

When Guo Ping saw it, his eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly got up and pulled Ling Changge to the woman wearing a phoenix decoration and bowed to him and said in a low voice: "The daughter of Grand Marshal Guo Zhao, Guo Ping pays homage to Princess Yuxiang!" At the same time, he gently pulled Ling Changge's sleeve beside him and signaled him to salute him quickly.

Wei Ying looked at the two who bowed to him, Danfeng's eyes suddenly bent, and then said, "You don't have to be too polite. I'm going out to wander around today. Don't let me know if I say it out?"

Seeing Wei Ying's face was filled with anger, Guo Ping had to nod and respond, and took Ling Changge to the side, making way for Wei Ying.

In fact, since she returned from Yuanzhou City last year, Wei Ying's mood has not improved. Li Suwen is not at home all year round, and her attitude towards herself when she is at home is neither salty nor indifferent, which makes her extremely uncomfortable. She stayed alone in the boudoir for several nights.

What's even more annoying is that after Li Suwen came back, she was always obsessed with the eldest lady of the Jiang family, which made her very unhappy, but she could do nothing about it. She thought that Jiang Ruoyan had been named the wife of a third-rank general, and thought that her man should give up, but she was disappointed again...

This time, I heard that Liu Ce, who made him embarrassed and made a fool of himself, was about to receive his father Wei Zhen's reward when he entered the capital. He was even more angry. He took his guard and maid out of the house to breathe, which was also a relief from his boredom.

At this moment, the fat shopkeeper packed up the things Guo Ping wanted and sent them over. Guo Ping knew the temper of the eldest princess, so he hurriedly paid to him and pulled Ling Changge and Wei Ying to say goodbye, and walked out of the jewelry store.

As soon as he left the jewelry store, Ling Changge suddenly asked Guo Ping: "Madam, what time is it now?"

Guo Ping looked at the sky and asked suspiciously: "What are you asking about this? I saw you uneasy since the beginning. Is there anything I have hidden from me?"

Ling Changge said: "My wife misunderstood, but she has to go back to the Imperial Guard's Mansion tonight. She must go back to the Imperial Guard's Mansion before the sixth hour of Xu..."

Guo Ping frowned when she heard this: "Are you already off work today? What night is it? You are not allowed to go. I finally waited for a chance to lift the curfew and I was able to go out to visit the night market. Are you thinking about going back to stay at night? Why didn't you say it before?"

Ling Changge said: "Madam calms down. This is a temporary decision made by the Imperial Guard's Mansion today. We need to strictly prevent the curfew from being lifted. The husband is afraid that he will sweep his wife's interest in wandering. I hope the wife will forgive me..."

Guo Ping said angrily: "It seems that what you said to you just now is useless, you didn't listen to it..."

Ling Changge said: "Madam, this is the order of Yang Yuan, the commander of the Imperial Guardian. How can you not obey it for your husband? What's more, Madam, would you like to see a husband who neglects his duties and does not seek progress?"

Guo Ping thought for a while and sighed, "Forget it, you either don't speak, you can't tell you if you open your mouth. It seems that you can't come back tonight?"

Ling Changge said, "No, after the hour of the middle, you can go back to your house after the handover. Please don't wait for me and take a rest earlier..."

Guo Ping said with heartache: "Then I will prepare a midnight snack for you, and you won't be hungry even if you come back..."

Ling Changge said: "Thank you, Madam, for your understanding, I left for my husband..."

Guo Ping stepped forward to tidy up his collar and smiled and said, "Go, remember to be safer on the road. If you can come back, come back early..."

Ling Changge nodded and replied, "Madam, I'm leaving..."

After saying that, Ling Changge walked towards the Imperial Guard's Mansion. The moment he turned around, the previous compliment on his face was wiped out, and replaced by the momentum that a soldier should have.

Guo Ping looked at her husband's distant figure, sighed, and said to herself: "Maybe this is what fascinates me, right? She is extremely serious and persistent in doing anything."

After muttering, Guo Ping walked towards the Guo Mansion and passed by a four-wheeled carriage.

"Old Ma, stop, stop~"

"Well~"

When the carriage drove to the jewelry store, Wei Ji's shouts rang out in the carriage. The coachman immediately stopped the carriage when he heard this.

Finally, Wei Ji held an orange in his hand and walked out of the car with a smile on his face. After a while, Xu Wenjing also followed him.

Wei Ji looked at the jewelry store with an orange and said to Xu Wenjing with an embarrassment: "Military advisor, I am really ashamed. The Liuyan of Xiuhong Pavilion did not show up tonight and swept the military advisor's atmosphere. So I am the host tonight. You can choose whatever gold, silver and jadeware you like here. After all, I am rich now and you don't have to worry about losing money."

Xu Wenjing smiled and shook her head, looked at the endless figures in the jewelry industry, and said to Wei Ji: "Your Majesty, why bother with this? Today, the wonders of Luo River have been a feast for me. How can I let the Youther Majesty spend money again?"

Wei Ji smiled and said, "Military advisor, don't you just use it to spend money? Isn't this a big fortune without doing much effort along the way. Just treat it as my king's generous and squandering. Just don't let me lose face. Let's go, military advisor, don't stick it..."
