When everyone came back to their senses, Mrs. Qin shouted angrily, "A bunch of stupid things, who asked you to let people go!" ”

The maids hurriedly knelt down, their faces pale.

"Slaves... I was frightened by the sight just now, and I hope that Mrs. will forgive me. ”

Mrs. Qin pulled her handkerchief and snorted coldly, raising her eyes to look at the road that Ling Xiu'er had just run, there was no one there, but she was staring at it deadly, "That's just a trick, it can also bluff you, and sell it all after you go back." ”

None of the maids in one place begged for mercy, all of them were as dead as ashes, and there was a strange sense of relief. Maybe even they don't know which kind of life is more devastating.

——

Ling Xiu'er came home before dark, and the room was dark, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after, Cao Yu returned.

Ling Xiu'er greeted her with a gentle smile on her face, "Why did you come back so late?" ”

Cao Yu lowered his eyebrows, "There are a lot of official duties to deal with, if I come back late in the future, you can rest early, and you don't need to wait for me." ”

Ling Xiu'er looked away a little weakly, and happened to see the sachet hanging from his waist, "Huh? ”

Cao Yu secretly said in his heart: Suffered. It's just that it's too late to hide it now, so I just showed her generously.

"What's wrong with this sachet on you?" Ling Xiu'er remembered that she gave this sachet to Zhang Ze, her eyes full of doubts.

"This ......" Cao Yu, who can speak well, encountered this situation for the first time, and he thought for a long time before he spoke, "I happened to meet Zhang Ze today, and he asked me to return it to you." ”

Despite the doubts in his heart, he still chose to believe him, "Since that's the case, then forget it!" ”

Next.

Ling Xiu'er sent Cao Yu to the door and tirelessly advised, "Don't come out in everything, so as not to be hated, come back early, no matter how important your official business is, you must pay attention to your body, remember to come back early." ”

Cao Yu responded one by one, not feeling annoyed at all, "Don't keep embroidering things, it's not good for your eyes." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Looking at the figure farther and farther away until it was out of sight, Ling Xiu'er withdrew her gaze, and it was just like this, a flashing black shadow made her hearted. I don't know if there have been too many things happening recently, and a little wind and grass can arouse her vigilance.

There are some things that can't be thought about, and the more I think about it, the more suspicious I feel, and in the end, Ling Xiu'er still decided to tell Cao Yu about this matter, and discussed what to do.

At this time, Cao Yu had already entered the palace gate, looking at the vermilion gate, his deep eyes were a little darker, the place he once longed for, when he really touched it, it might not be as beautiful as he thought, but he didn't regret it.

He glanced at the sachet hanging from his waist before walking towards the ministry.

"Cao... Yu, why did you come? A man approached him, frowning and displeased.

Cao Yu's hand on his waist was tightened, "I don't know what's the matter with adults?" ”

The man waved his hand, "It's not that I'm looking for you, it's that I'm looking for you, so go in quickly!" Cheng-sama has been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Cao Yu pursed his lips, some people are born to be wrong, he and Cheng Kun are probably like this, "Thank you for informing." ”

Cheng Kun had indeed been waiting for a long time in the ministry, he thought that the newcomer should always be more positive, but what he never expected was that Cao Yu stepped on it, which made him depressed and even more depressed.

"Lord Cheng, I don't know what you are looking for the lower official?" Cao Yu gets straight to the point.

Cheng Kun flipped through the folds in his hand, as if he hadn't heard it. It just so happened that Cao Yu was also stubborn, and the two were so deadlocked, one standing and the other sitting.

I don't know how long it took for Cheng Kun to raise his head, and those sharp eyes hit Cao Yu, very dissatisfied, "Could it be that you want to stand here today?" The people chosen by the court are becoming more and more useless. ”

Cao Yu clenched his fists and took a deep breath, "I don't know what happened to Lord Cheng?" ”

Cheng Kun stared at him for a long time, as if to see how long he could endure it, "Go and sort out all the files over the years." ”

"Yes."

When he saw all the files of the ministry, the corners of Cao Yu's forehead jumped, even if he didn't sleep for three days and three nights, he probably wouldn't be able to sort out the tip of the iceberg here.

Cao Yu, who has just joined the official, has never thought of being lazy, if he is bent on being lazy, why should he be an official? Wouldn't it be more comfortable to lie down at home?

Although he was not angry, Cao Yu still honestly sorted out the files, organized and unhurried.

An hour later, someone reported to Cheng Kun, "He is indeed sorting out the files, and... Seriously. ”

Cheng Kun snorted and raised his eyebrows, "Since he likes to organize files so much, let him sort them out." ”

This person has been in the ministry for many years, so he naturally understands the meaning of these words, and is silent for a moment before responding, "The subordinates know." Hesitation is not soft-hearted, but he doesn't quite understand why he should embarrass a newcomer?

Every year, there are new people who enter the ministry, but he has never been so sad, so he can't figure it out, but if he can't figure it out, he can only think about it, and he never thinks about asking the reason. Here, if you say too much and make a mistake, maybe one sentence can ruin everything.

Cao Yu sorted it out well, and suddenly a group of historians walked in and turned out the files he had sorted out earlier.

"It's all sorted out."

The historians glanced at him, "We need to use these files, you go and sort out the other files first!" ”

Cao Yu pursed her lips, looked at their movements, endured the anger in her heart, turned around and walked towards another layer, and kept telling herself in her heart: You can't be angry, you can't disappoint Xiu'er, you should give her the best.

"Whew!"

Suddenly, a sneer came from behind him, stiffening his determined back, and then walked forward as if nothing had happened.

"I don't know if he's pretending to be it, can these broken things be sorted out for so long?"

Another historian raised his eyebrows, "Maybe he just likes to tidy up!" ”

"Then let's ......"

……

Cao Yu understood that Cheng Kun just wanted to rectify him, no matter what attitude he had after all, Cheng Kun would not let him go anyway.

Thinking of this layer, he was filled with a burst of irritability all over his body, and he had studied hard for more than ten years, and he took the lead to come to this point? The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt.

Sunset, fortunately, Cheng Kun did not set a time, and Cao Yu did not continue to stay stupidly, and a group of officials walked towards the outside of the palace.

"Master Zhang has performed well over the years, I'm afraid he should be promoted this time."

The abrupt voice lifted the minds of a group of tired officials, and after a moment's thought, most of them nodded, "Indeed, he should also be promoted." ”

Cao Yu walked behind them, hearing this, for some reason, he thought of that mysterious person, if there is that person's handwriting, then Zhang Ze does not need to worry about his promotion at all, but listening to the tone of these people, I'm afraid they don't know yet!

But none of this was something he should be worried about, he should think about himself.
