The seven emotions and six desires are all my nourishment

Chapter 539 Laziness Makes Me Happy 33

This debate lasted for a whole month. Pei Chi received the selected young talents politely, temporarily kept them together, and asked them to brainstorm and write a policy paper.

The young talents were full of enthusiasm and were discussing enthusiastically. Pei Chi nodded with satisfaction.

Then, he chose a nice sunny day, took the imperial decree for Xin Zongliang's promotion, and went to the government office to find Xin Zongliang and make peace!

"Congratulations, Lord Xin, on your promotion to the position of Taotai. This is the imperial decree of your promotion, as well as the Taotai's seal and imperial book, which have just been delivered. I was so excited that I came here uninvited." Pei Chi looked so high-spirited and happy that he was happier than the confused Xin Zongliang.

Xin Zongliang took the bright yellow memorial and his eyes widened at the sight. He had only been an official for a short time, and he hadn't heard a word of it! What's more, he thought he had done nothing! "This, this, this humble official didn't do anything!"

"Haha, Lord Xin has a good way of governing. I see it with my own eyes and respect it in my heart. Lord Xin, there is no need to belittle yourself."

"The court is in need of talent, and I cannot bear to see Lord Xin's good plan progress so slowly, so I have asked my father to make a proposal to the emperor on your behalf."

"Now that you have been promoted to the position of Daotai, you no longer need to cry and beg others for help. You can make many decisions on your own."

"Lord Xin, please feel free to use your fists and feet. I will definitely cooperate if necessary!" Pei Chi had a friendly expression. He took Xin Zongliang's arm and helped him sit down.

Xin Zongliang's beard was so excited that it stood up. "Well, well, your humble servant..."

"Alas, the Xin Jian brothers have been with me through thick and thin, and we are as close as brothers. It would be a bit strange for us to address each other by our official titles. Uncle Xin, please don't be so polite!"

Pei Chi is becoming more and more slick. Based on what he has observed about Xin Qin's daily life, he is now very humble when trying to build relationships.

He summed up the key points of hard work, and "three people make a tiger" can also be transformed into "three sentences make it come true"!

That's just nonsense. You are shameless and sweet-talking. If you talk too much, not only others will believe it, but you will believe it too!

"Your humble servant..." Xin Zongliang fell to the ground. He was a civil servant. Although he had ambitions and was moved by the words, his mind was still more delicate than Xin Jian and others.

After all, General Pei Chi was so humble as to treat him like this, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. He quickly stood up and bowed to show his humility.

Pei Chi held his hand and said kindly, "Don't be nervous, Uncle Xin. Although I'm a military commander fighting on the battlefield every day, my ultimate goal is to ensure that the people can live a peaceful and prosperous life."

"Ever since Uncle Xin took office and implemented a series of policies, the people in your jurisdiction have smiled more than those elsewhere!"

"It's all because Uncle Xin loves the people like his own children and governs them wisely that the people love you so much and always protect and praise you. I really admire Uncle Xin for that."

"Well, in that case, I'd like to honor you, General, by calling me uncle." Xin Zongliang was so moved by his sincere praise that he shed tears.

"It's getting late, I won't bother you anymore. Uncle Xin should go home quickly to share this happy event." Pei Chi nodded with a smile, as if he had just remembered something, and made a gesture to leave.

Xin Zongliang grabbed him and said, "Hey, how can you do this? Come home with me and have a drink together!"

"My dear nephew has done a lot for me behind the scenes, and now he calls me uncle, so we are family. Come on, come on, follow me back home!"

"Uncle is right. I will respectfully obey your orders! Please!"

……

Pei Chi raised the corner of his lips, [Lazy girl, now it's your turn to take the initiative~]

……

Xin Mansion.

Xinqin was feeling sleepy during the spring, and was covered with a snow-white, flawless, soft and silky fox fur cloak.

Pei Chi was an extremely generous man. Ever since he schemed to marry the men in the barracks, and then transferred the "wolf" away from the mountain, and then went to Meng Lang's house and flirted with her.

In the days that followed, Xinqin was on high alert, waiting for him to make a move, but he never did anything excessive towards her again, and he never even showed up.

In addition to him peeking at her in the dark from time to time and bringing her food and drinks, there were also exquisite jewelry, high-quality leather goods, or just an insignificant flower.

He acted in a subtle and gentle way, like a snail girl who takes whatever she wants without asking for anything in return.

Xinqin was also puzzled. Just like that? How could this possibly make her marry someone on her own initiative?

But Pei Chi's style of doing things like boiling a frog in warm water has actually been gradually integrated into his hard-working life.

Hard work is like an insect that has been anesthetized by a spider. It is wrapped tightly by soft silk threads, but the insect is unaware of it.

Xinqin didn't even realize that because the things she liked were always so readily available, and the things that appeared easily and continuously, she hadn't left the house for a long time!

This is different from before when she was simply lazy and would not go out unless she could. Now she doesn't need to go out at all, which is very dangerous!

That night, more than a dozen people from the Xin and Miao families gathered together. Even the three wolves came back. It was so lively that Xinqin's head felt buzzing.

Especially when Xin Qin learned that Xin Zongliang had been promoted to the position of Taotai and would soon change into his official robe, and that Pei Chi was behind the promotion, her headache became even worse!

[Oh my, there was a mistake! This bastard actually dragged my stupid dad on board!]

[How audacious! A military commander actually colluded with a civil official, and yet he's so careless... Huh? No, no... What the hell is the Emperor up to?!]
