Chapter 989: What more can a husband ask for when he gets a wife like this?

Sun Shan told the truth: "Take Gui Ge'er and the men in the village with you."

After a pause, he continued, "Sister Yun, you and your father and mother should stay in Sunjia Village first. After I take office and get familiar with the situation, I will let you come over."

Looking at the little fat girl who was sleeping soundly, Sun Shan felt so soft in his heart.

Reluctantly, he said, "Xiaoxiao is young and can't walk far. You guys stay at home first, and come back when the weather gets warmer and Xiaoxiao is older."

Yun Jieer wanted to follow Sun Shan to take office, and was just about to say that she would go with him, leaving Xiaoxiao in Sunjia Village as a left-behind child.

Then I saw the warm little fat girl and I felt reluctant to leave.

After comparing them, Xiaoxiao is still more important than Shan Ge. That is her baby that she carried for ten months. How could she bear to leave her alone in Sunjia Village?

Yun Jie'er then thought that she hadn't given birth to a son yet. If Sun Shan was gone, then when would she give birth to a son?

This is a very serious problem and I can't help but fall into distress.

Sun Shan saw Sister Yun hanging her head and saying nothing, so he comforted her, "Sister Yun, this time we are going to Yuanlu, we are not familiar with the situation, and we don't know what it is like there. To be honest with you, I am also very confused and scared.

I have been studying in the academy before, and I have been studying all day long. Now I have to be independent and be a local official. Sister Yun, I am a little scared, afraid that I am not up to the task. "

Sister Yun suddenly raised her head and looked at Sun Shan, who was a little hesitant. She didn't expect that her brother Shan would also be afraid.

I am afraid that he would dare to say it out loud. This is not something that the scholars and officials during the Daqian period could say.

I didn’t expect Brother Shan to be so straightforward.

Now it was Sister Yun'er's turn to comfort Sun Shan: "Brother Shan, don't be afraid. You are so smart, you will definitely be able to handle it."

Sun Shan shook his head and said, "I don't know if I can handle it. This is my first time as an official, and I don't know anything. When I get to take office, I have no idea what to do. I usually study in the academy and learn how a certain official is so glorious, how he is loved by the people, and how brilliant he is.

Whenever I hear these stories, I feel excited and hope that I can also achieve something. But now that I am about to become an official, I find it so difficult and I find that I know nothing.

When I arrived in Yuanlu, I didn't know how to start my career as an official. If I were in Huangyang County, Zhangzhou Prefecture, or Guangzhou Prefecture, I wouldn't be afraid. But leaving the familiar place and going to other places, I am a little scared.

I don’t know whether the local people are easy to manage, whether the local officials are easy to get along with, and I don’t know what kind of person the superior is, and whether he will make things difficult for me and his subordinates.”

Sister Yun was anxious. Seeing that Sun Shan was now "weak", she couldn't help but worry.

He quickly comforted her, "Brother Shan, don't think too much. When you get there, you may find that being a local official is actually very easy. Don't scare yourself now. I saw that my second uncle and third uncle were officials in other places, and it was also easy. They didn't make any mistakes in these years.

Brother Shan, you are smarter than my second and third uncles. They are only juren, but you are a jinshi. I believe you can handle the local situation better than my second and third uncles, and do better. "

Yun Jie'er's second uncle and third uncle are away all year round, so Yun Jie'er actually doesn't know the specific situation.

However, in the letters I wrote over the years, my grandfather never mentioned any problems, so he should be doing well in officialdom. Even if he is not, they are just minor problems.

Her brother Shan has always been smart. He will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties and become a good official.

Sun Shan held Yun Jie'er's plump little hand tightly.

He nodded and said, "Sister Yun, you are right. I shouldn't be so self-deprecating. How can I give up before I even get to be an official? Others can be good officials, so I believe I can do it too. There were so many people taking the imperial examinations, and I was able to stand out, which proves that I have merits and am better than many others. Sister Yun, your words have opened my eyes. Thank you."

Yun Jie'er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that her words could comfort Sun Shan.

What I said just now was actually nonsense, and I don’t know if it was right or not. But seeing that Brother Shan listened to me, I couldn’t help but feel happy.

Sister Yun said gently, "Brother Shan, when you go there, talk less, listen more, watch more, and think more. I heard from my father that officials are one thing on the surface, and another behind the scenes. Brother Shan, don't be too honest. Honesty often leads to big losses."

Being an official is like this, you have to speak nicely and act decisively. In any case, you cannot be inconsistent in what you say and what you do, and you cannot let people see through your true self.

It is best to keep it mysterious, but sometimes you need to use the tiger's skin to carry the banner.

In short, you have to learn to act.

Sister Yun told Sun Shan everything she knew about the officialdom so that he could learn from it.

Yun Jie'er felt that her brother Shan was rather honest and might suffer losses in official circles.

Just like just now, he actually told me that he was afraid of being an official. How could I say such a thing, not even to my wife.

Look at her brother Shan, he treats people so sincerely. It’s okay to treat her, but he must never be like this when he is with outsiders, especially officials.

Sun Shan also couldn't have imagined that Yun Jie'er knew so much. Why were the codes of conduct for officials that Yun Jie'er talked about so similar to those that De Ge'er talked about?

De Ge'er told him to say one thing in public and do another in private, and Yun Jie'er now told him to do the same, and also told him to pocket any gray income he had, and not to leave the official team and seek special treatment.

Yun Jie'er also said that her father did the same thing when he worked in the government office and had some gray income from time to time.

Since others take it, he takes it too. Everyone takes it together, and everyone puts it in the bag safely.

Sun Shan disagreed with some of Yun Jie'er's words, but it was not easy for him to oppose her in person.

Sun Shan has always adopted the principle of "accepting advice with an open mind, refusing to change despite repeated admonitions, and doing one's own thing."

Said: "Sister Yun, I understand."

Then he changed the subject and said, "Sister Yun, you stay at home and help me take care of Xiaoxiao, my father, my mother, and my grandmother. This way, I can be more at ease in my job. Sister Yun, thank you for your hard work.

I really can't take you with me. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle the situation, and I'll make you worry. If you stay in Sunjia Village, I can do my job without any worries. I don't want to worry about the government affairs, and I don't want to worry about the difficulties you will encounter in an unfamiliar place. I feel more at ease if you stay in Sunjia Village."

Since Sun Shan had said so, how could Yun Jieer dare to say anything else?

What Shan Ge said actually makes sense. It is difficult to go to a strange place, and it is even more difficult to bring the whole family there.

If you don't do well at work, there might be noise again when you get home. It's better to do your work in peace and quiet alone.

Even though Yun Jie'er was reluctant to leave, she knew that staying in Sunjia Village for the time being was the best option.

Sister Yun said helplessly: "Okay, Brother Shan, you go first by yourself, and when you are familiar with the situation, we will follow you."

Sun Shan looked at Yun Jie'er with emotion and held Yun Jie'er's chubby little hand tightly.

He said gently, "Sister Yun, you are so kind! You have worked so hard at home. What more could a husband ask for with a wife like this!"
