In the evening, four people sit around a table.

This seems to be the first time they have eaten so solemnly since Yuan Bao'er's grandfather left.

Gu Sheng raised his glass and thanked the rat couple.

The rat waved his hand again and again, smiling as a companion.

Cui Xin can't drink alcohol, just fruit juice.

After three rounds of drinking, the mouse unconsciously chatted with Gu Sheng about his plans and thoughts.

Yuan Bao'er listened for a while, probably fighting left and right, stuffing people inside, and stumbling each other, making a mess inside.

"My lord, I don't care about this matter, and I don't care about it."

"Can you give me the right words, what the hell do you think?"

Gu Sheng took a sip of wine and said in a deep voice, "You're drunk." ”

"We're just doing what we are told, so where do we need to have any ideas?"

"My lord," the mouse wanted to say more, but Cui Xin pressed him, "My lord, he is drunk, don't listen to his nonsense." ”

Cui Xin exchanged glances with Yuan Bao'er and forcibly dragged the mouse away.

Yuan Bao'er sent the two to the door, and came back and said, "It's been difficult to make rats lately?" ”

Gu Sheng nodded.

"The two prime ministers are in the ring, and the minions below are all standing on the platform shouting."

"Those people don't dare to trouble me, so they go to bother the mouse, he has to deal with so many people alone, it's really hard."

Yuan Baoer pursed her lips and understood why Gu Sheng didn't come forward.

She and Gu Sheng are both ministers of Gu Ming, and they are both at the same level as Prime Minister Hou Wen.

If Gu Sheng stands up, no matter which side he helps, it is tantamount to expressing his position.

Then she and Gu Sheng will fall into passivity, and if one is not good, the previous layout will be in vain.

If Brother Yuan wants to take the initiative, it may be a long time later.

This is what none of them want to see, so Gu Sheng knew that rats were difficult to do, and he didn't interfere.

"It's just this period of time," Gu Sheng said: "The right minister's illness can't drag on for too long, if he spares his life, he must find someone to take over." ”

"The people behind are no match for Zuo Xiang, no matter how convenient they are, and they will definitely join forces with Hou Wen."

"I've made arrangements there, as long as they move, we'll win."

Yuan Bao'er touched his elbow and comforted him silently.

Gu Sheng smiled and pulled her to sit down again.

"Make so many dishes, eat more."

Both of them only had some refreshments with the rat couple at noon, and they were still hungry at this time. “

Halfway through eating, Yuan Bao'er suddenly remembered, "I forgot to give her the candied fruit." ”

"I'll send it tomorrow," Gu Sheng was a little drunk and grabbed Yuan Bao'er.

Yuan Baoer was afraid that he would get drunk, so she dragged him back.

The next morning, Yuan Baoer got up a little confused.

You don't have to go to court today, and you don't have to get up when it's still dark.

The two slept again, and Yuan Baoer rushed to the Ministry of Industry.

This is the first time she has been on duty since she got married, and all the people from the yamen came to congratulate her.

Yuan Baoer smiled and went back to the room.

It was rare for the Ministry of Industry to come over, "Why did you come to duty so quickly, didn't I mean to allow you half a month off?" ”

"This is not in accordance with the rules," Yuan Bao'er smiled, "but I still want to thank you, wait for the adults to have time another day, and ask the adults to go and sit down." ”

Shang Shu smiled, "Since you said, then I'll be cheeky to bother me another day." ”

"My lord, just come," Yuan Bao'er smiled, "Gu Sheng and I will meet each other." ”

Shang Shu smiled and nodded, and walked away slowly.

Since the death of the first emperor, Shangshu has only been in name, and when he comes over by chance, he chats with Yuan Baoer or a few principals, making it clear that he wants to give way.

As for who to give it to, it goes without saying, everyone knows.

Yuan Baoer finished reviewing the documents that had been backlogged for several days and called the director of the board in charge of the equipment.

"How's the picture I gave you some time ago?"

The principal was a little embarrassed, "There is still some work to be done." ”

Yuan Bao'er frowned slightly, "I remember that you told me that it would only take more than a month, but now it has been nearly two months. ”

The director shook his hand and said: "My lord, it's not a small slack, it's really that craftsman who is too prickly, and I have persuaded him a few times, but everyone can't get along with him, so I can only let him do it alone." ”

Yuan Bao'er got up, "Director Dong, this is the official office of the Ministry of Industry, not a vegetable market, not a manpower head, what should I do, and I want to teach you?" ”

The principal hurriedly asked for sin, but he still didn't want to ask anyone else.

Yuan Bao'er couldn't, so she had to go to the mansion in the corner of Xicheng.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard the sound of sawdust shoveling off.

She followed the sound and saw that only the craftsman in his thirties was working in the huge courtyard.

She squinted her eyes and walked around the mansion, but she didn't find anyone.

When she went back to the Ministry of Works, she sent those personnel directly to the Ministry of Officials.

Suddenly receiving such a list, the officials were a little puzzled.

"What about you?"

Yuan Bao'er smiled, "Absenteeism for no reason, and I don't know how many times, such a capable person, our Ministry of Industry can't afford to use it." ”

"Please arrange another place for them."

"In addition, I urgently need people there, and I ask the adults to help arrange for some diligent people to come."

She dropped her words and walked away in style.

The director was dumbfounded, and hurried to find Shangguan.

The official department has a headache.

There are not many craftsmen in Kyoto, but there are not so many good craftsmen.

Yuan Baoer threw these out, has been in the industry for decades, and has some real skills in his hands.

Of course, it is natural to have a bit of a temper if you have the ability.

If in the past, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu had a soft temper, and this matter would have passed.

But now the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is not in charge of things at all, and everything is decided by Yuan Baoer alone.

And she also has a very tough backer, which makes him unable to even intercede.

Shangshu raised his eyes and saw that the principal was still pestle, so he said, "Why are you still stunned, why don't you hurry up and find someone?" ”

The principal understood that Shang Shu had agreed to be replaced.

And look at his appearance, this thing has to be fast.

For a while, he and the people below him were in a hurry.

Yuan Bao'er has returned to Xicheng leisurely.

When the craftsman saw Yuan Bao'er coming again, he finally took two looks.

When he saw her dress, he stood still and saluted.

Yuan Bao'er smiled and groaned, "When Lord Zuo Xiang recommended it, I thought it was as good as him, but I didn't want you to have a personality and offend me, a person from the yamen." ”

The craftsman pursed his lips, "I didn't offend them, and it doesn't matter to me how they are." ”

Yuan Bao'er shrugged, "I don't care about anything between you, but I changed this batch of people for you." ”

"I think you should understand why you came here."

"At the end of next month, I want to see the new finished Qianji crossbow, otherwise I will go to Zuo Xiang to ask for an explanation."

"Which is more important, you think clearly."

Yuan Bao'er said softly and gently, turned her head and left.

The craftsman stood still for a few moments before he could react.

In the future, he probably won't be able to be a maverick.

Otherwise, if he sues Zuo Xiang, he may really not be able to eat and walk.
