The Seventeenth Mother nodded, with a look of reluctance on her face, and then she suddenly put her head on Zhang Yue's shoulder and said, "I know I am too greedy. Other Jinshis have been appointed to foreign posts as soon as they become officials. For several years or even more than ten years, their husbands and wives have not seen each other."

We have only met each other, and you have been by my side since we got married, but I am still... greedy..."

Zhang Yue put his arms around Shiqi Niang's shoulders and patted her gently.

Since getting married, Zhang Yue has regarded Qi Niang as the love of his life and held it in his hands for fear that she would be wronged in the slightest. Now that he sees her sad, he feels sad too.

Zhang Yue said: "Madam, I know, I know. I don't necessarily want to be a foreigner, but you need to be prepared for this."

These days, there are really not many officials who have taken up foreign posts, such as Zeng Bu.

His wife Wei Wan was a well-known talented woman in the world, but Zeng Bu had been an official and had been working abroad, so he did not take Wei Wan with him. The couple spent less time together and more separation.

In the end, Zeng Bu also had a good relationship with his adopted daughter, leaving Wei Wan to stay alone in the empty boudoir.

Zhang Yue refused to take up any foreign posts. In the eyes of outsiders, he was obsessed with Wenwen Township and seemed to have no ambition.

But he and Qi Niang have been married for ten years, and their relationship is still as good as when they were newly married.

For officials who can leave their wives at any time to take office, in their eyes, they can have love affairs with concubines and have fun with prostitutes, but they cannot fall in love with their wives, or even sit down and talk for a few words.

In their eyes, wives are just a marriage of interest.
