In the past few days, Hanzhou has done two things.

The first thing is to start a group by yourself and not eat with other people. Lao Deng felt that she had too many things, and she was so special when she first came, obviously not realizing her status as a house slave. The master also knew about her fainting, so he said let her be, she had never suffered before, as long as it was not too much, leave her alone.

The second piece, Hanzhou asked Lao Deng to take her to the carpenter, she squatted on the ground and talked to the carpenter for a long time, and the carpenter was confused, but the girl persevered, drew a picture on the board for the carpenter to see, it was a picture from different angles, and she had to watch the carpenter do the work, she had to explain while watching, which annoyed the carpenter, and finally had to let her.

The back garden was originally an abandoned garden, but since the fainting incident, the children have a good place to go, and they can drill there when they have time. forced Lao Deng to add a manhole cover to the small well.

Looking at this popular garden, Lao Deng was secretly refreshed, the old man said to find you a quiet place, hey, you can't be quiet now, you found it yourself.

A few days later, the carpenter sent something, and Hanzhou took advantage of the old man's absence to let the things into the house. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter that room, but this Xiaohan girl has to say that it is okay, and if the master wants to punish you, let him punish me. Lao Deng is angry again, I won't be responsible if I punish you? Can I say that? I don't know how thick the sky is!

Finally waiting for the old man to come back, Lao Deng trembled and welcomed the old man in, and then quickly bowed his head and retreated outside, pricking up his ears to listen to the sound that would come out in a while. As a result, I waited for a long time, only to say: "Huh? Behind him was the sound of placing things, and I don't know what his old man was busy with, and he didn't call for helpers.

Lao Deng thought about it, and took the initiative to come in to help, you have to be a subordinate.

When I came in, the old man was taking a bamboo slip and looking for a place to put it. Some have already been put away, and some are still hesitating, it seems that they are thinking about where to put it.

The bamboo slips are now resting on the lattice shelf against the base of the wall. This is what Hanzhou asked people to carry over today, and it was placed on the kang against the wall, and the owner was usually there to review the documents, so it should be very convenient to turn around.

"You rest, I'll do it." Lao Deng said busily.

"Hehe, you can't do that. Only I can do it. The old man worked with a smile and enjoyed himself.

There are three levels of shelves, each with five compartments. On the left baffle, secret, secret, and top secret are written vertically from top to bottom. On the top baffle, from left to right, agriculture, industry, commerce, learning, and the military are written. More detailed, there is a half-plank partition in each small grid, and the left side of the partition is written "not", and the right side of the partition is written "already".

Now the owner is looking for a corresponding place for each pair of bamboo slips.

Finally, all the bamboo slips were put away, and the old man stepped back a little, and said, "Yes, this job is good, it's much easier!" ”

Lao Deng also saw the doorway here. When it came in the afternoon, he was so nervous that he didn't look closely, but now he realized that the girl was clever. But what are the two boards on the ground for?

The old man followed his gaze and saw the two long boards, what the hell are they for? The old man turned his gaze to Deng Zi: "Deng Zi, this is-?" ”

"Ah, I'll ask." He ran out in a panic and went to find Miss Xiaohan. The heart said, in the end, keep one hand, and are you afraid that I will fight for merit, what's wrong?

Miss Xiaohan soon came, she took the board, looked at the shelf, found a wooden trough, inserted the plank into it, pushed it hard, and the plank went in, blocking the top secret grid. Pick up another piece, compare it, put it down again, and say: "It depends on your work habits, if you are willing to block it, you can block it, and if you don't want to, you won't block it." You can ask the carpenter to install a lock next to the baffle, only you have the key, and it is not easy for others to see it, so as to achieve the purpose of secrecy. You want me to copy something on top, or let's make another grid, I don't move the rest, and you don't have to worry about it. ”

The old man looked at Han Zhou appreciatively and nodded.

Old Deng Xin said, this girl is smart, she can divide her work with other people's work by making a grid, and she also knows how to get rid of responsibilities. After doing this, her weight is not light.

I think that if she has any moths in the future, the master may not care, and I don't have to bother with it.

The old man was very interested, clapped his hands and said, "Since you came, the little ones have always gone to the backyard to play, let's go, I will also go to see what they have tossed into?" ”

Hanzhou bowed and smiled, leading the way in front. The heart said, is this a product that walks with me?

On the first day, the old man said that she couldn't look at some bamboo slips, and she guessed that the old man was not simple. But when the family meets, they are only called the master, and she has no contact with other people, and she does not know more about the situation in this house. But the children always came to play in the past two days, and from their conversation, she already knew the identity of the old man. He is Li Si, the prime minister of Great Qin. Knowing this identity, Han Zhou was a little confused for a while, although she knew a little about Qin Shi and had the advantage of being a prophet, and sometimes she looked at the people and things of this era with a scrutinizing eye, but now by mistake and fate, she actually came to the Li Mansion, and it seemed that she was also a half-key confidential secretary, which made her a little uneasy. Faced with such a figure, her feelings are complicated. Although she once said that in the entire fifteenth year of the Great Qin, there were no strategists in the cabinet who would be praised by future generations, but it was a casual statement in the history of China for 2,000 years. This is a person with great talent and strategy, and he is brave enough and decisive enough, because of the spy of Zheng State, the King of Qin wanted to expel the foreign ministers, and he, as a native of Chu, was also expelled among them, but at that point in time, he wrote the "Book of Expulsion" and presented it to the King of Qin, so that the King of Qin took back his fate and got the opportunity to be promoted, which is to turn the disadvantage into an advantage. For capable people, Hanzhou has always been respectful and even worshipped. And because of his words to rent a house, the old man actually got her over, although the identity is a house slave, but the meaning of taking care of it is still obvious.

But Hanzhou knows the huge class differences between people in this era. In any case, she is a house slave, and the closer she is to the powerful, the more opportunities she has to offend the powerful, and the more insecure she becomes. There are some things that you can't change with talent, kindness, or sincerity.

So the rule she set for herself to get along with is to do things seriously, close and measured. She also doesn't want to spend time trying to win the trust of others, flattering people, sometimes the more she spends her thoughts, the more self-defeating, as for the shelf where bamboo slips are placed, one is for the convenience of work, and the other is to protect herself, she doesn't want to involve herself because of some avoidable misunderstandings.

Of course, for a person who wants to enter the Qin History Research Institute, the content on those correspondence documents is quite attractive to her, but in the face of life safety, this curiosity has to be put aside.

……

"Little Han girl has something on her mind?" The old man asked.

"Huh?" Han Zhou smiled, thought for a moment and said, "I was thinking about how to call you more appropriately." ”

"Huo, why did you think of this question?"

"A few days ago, you went to the store to buy something, I called you old man, you instructed me in calligraphy, I called you old man, and now I am copying documents by your side, I should call you master the same as Brother Deng, but now I know that you are the prime minister of the dynasty, I wonder if I should change my name, or it would be too rude. However, if you think about it, you still don't know what to call it? ”

Li Si laughed: "For you to say this, it seems to be really a problem!" So, what should you call this situation in your hometown? ”

Han Zhou thought for a while and said: "If you are in front of outsiders, you still have to call it official, such as an official position, if it is just the two of us working together, some people are called bosses, which is not only a relationship between superiors and subordinates, but also a bit of a personal taste, it seems to be like this, some people also call official positions, but then it seems to be raw." The subordinates still hope that the superiors will treat him as their own. But in the final analysis, they are all colleagues, they are cooperative relations, and their superiors and subordinates are all paid by the state. But my current situation, unlike these, is that I am a house slave. We are not an employment relationship, we are a personal dependency. So, I think, in the end, it's better to call me master. ”

In the end, Han Zhou's voice lowered, a little helpless.

Lao Deng followed behind, also listening, he thought it was a very simple matter, how could this girl be complicated to analyze, do you say this is a smart person or a foolish person? He has been called Master since he was a child, isn't it quite smooth?

Li Si doesn't think so, this Shanghan girl obviously doesn't agree with her identity, she just has no choice but to live here, and her helplessness is helplessness for the whole environment, not just helplessness for personal encounters. He became more and more curious about this Xiaohan's origin.

"The children said you told them the story that Aesop had made."

Han Zhou smiled: "Well, they give me candy to eat, and I will repay theirs." ”

Lees smiled, "You told them that Aesop was a great slave. ”

There was a hint of doubt in these words, and Han Zhou said calmly: "Yes, that's what I said. Each person cannot choose his origin, but he can choose what kind of person he becomes, even if they are all slaves, there are differences. And if a person who has gone from the lowly to the top of life also thinks that slaves represent lowliness and stupidity, then it is even more undesirable, as if they are laughing at themselves. ”

Li Si laughed again, and glanced at the girl meaningfully, is this talking about the two of them? He is a person who has gone from the humble to the top of his life, and although she is a domestic slave, it does not mean that she is lowly and stupid.

She seems to be humble, but she is very bold and cannot be humiliated.

The back garden arrived. In the past few days, the barren grass has been cleared, the young grass is also rising high, a rope has been pulled on the branches of the trees in the garden, women's clothes are dried, and there are traces left by the children after playing games on the ground, which looks peaceful and vibrant.

"I opened a small plot of land to grow leeks, and the children helped me open it, and I said that when it grows, I invite them to eat dumplings filled with leeks."

"Hehe, dumplings, I sound fresh." , Li Si glanced at Lao Deng with a smile and said, "Why are they so diligent when they come to you?" I've found that they are more likely to come to you than the teachers in the school. ”

Hearing this, Han Zhou became vigilant, what does this mean?

"I think you teach them how to read, it's still good for you to teach them how to read."

Han Zhou thought for a while, and said humbly: "The learning in the school room is still more systematic, if they come here to play, it is good if they are willing to play and learn." I remembered an article I had read written by a gentleman called 'From the Hundred Herb Garden to the Three Flavors Book House', which was about a group of children playing while reading, a very beautiful childhood. ”

"Oh? Sanwei Bookstore! What are the three flavors? Li Si asked with interest.

Han Zhou smiled and recalled: "I can't tell which three flavors they are, but they probably refer to the delicious delicacies, which are delicious, and it is said that books are people's spiritual food, and reading will make people as healthy and happy as eating delicious food." Sanmi Shoya is a private school where the gentleman studied. ”

When Li Si heard this, his eyebrows furrowed, and he said in a serious tone: "Now the state does not allow private schools to be run by the people. ”

Han Zhou smiled indifferently: "I know there is this decree. But what is written in that book is also about people's past. Whether life is good or not, whether he studies well or not, write about his childhood, let people see it, it's all true, all good. The good harvest of the children today is the good of the world in the future, because at the beginning he planted truth, goodness and beauty in his heart, he will know how to maintain, build and cherish. If the child does not get this good today, there will be a lot less good in the world in the future, because he does not know how to maintain, build and cherish. Of course, this is a long way off, and the children in this yard can still get anything. ”

Li Si didn't speak again, just stared at Han Zhou, she seemed casual, but every sentence was well thought-out, she wasn't sure of the current decree, but she didn't want to fight with it, so she chose such an angle to talk about it. But it doesn't seem like she's trying to tell herself about it, because she's here by accident. If she hadn't mentioned the topic of children just now, she wouldn't have talked about it.

Thinking about her way of doing things these days, Li Si felt that she was really an outlier. I have to eat by myself, obviously because I don't eat well in the big kitchen, so I have to pay for it myself, and she doesn't care. Moving things to the study without her consent, Deng Zi was afraid of taking responsibility, she was not afraid. The Hu family is very good to her, she wants to be quiet, so she wants to rent a house outside, so if she is not happy to live here, will she also move out? Would she dare to ask him? You have to say that she was of noble birth, she was sympathetic to slaves, and she cared about the boys in the tofu shop. But if you want to say that she is from a humble background, who can say that she doesn't care about it is pretended?

All in all, this is someone to watch.

I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing to get her into the house?
