Shen Xiaoyu returned home from outside the city, and when he was far away, he saw that there was a carriage at the gate of his house.

"Ma'am? Is this going to ......? As soon as Shen Xiaoyu entered the courtyard, he saw that Qian Yuemei was directing Chunfen and red dates to take the luggage to the carriage.

Qian Yuemei saw that Shen Xiaoyu was back, so she said, "It's been so long, I should go back too." ”

"Why does Madame suddenly want to go back?" Shen Xiaoyu asked, didn't Qian Yuemei really want to go home?

Qian Yuemei sighed: "I can't really let Wang Xiuyan's old goblin be powerful in the Qin family!" "Now that Qin Huaijin wants to be an official, he will have to move around in the officialdom in the future, and Wang Xiuyan will definitely fight for his son!

When Shen Xiaoyu heard this, he said, "Then I'll find someone to send Mrs. back." ”

"No need, you're not from the Qin family yet." Qian Yuemei's implication was that she didn't want to accept any help from Shen Xiaoyu.

Qin Huaijin had just left, and Shen Xiaoyu couldn't snub Qian Yuemei, so he said, "It's better to find someone to send it, it's a long way, and it's not safe." Then he went out to the dental store to find manpower.

After sending Qian Yuemei away, Shen Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, and the person she was looking for would come to her to take the rest of the deposit after sending Qian Yuemei to the place, which could be regarded as giving her a safe life.

As soon as Qian Yuemei left, the house was completely deserted, Chunfen and Red Dates were a little worried, they were originally asked to take care of Qian Yuemei, Qian Yuemei has now returned to her hometown, where are the two of them going?

"Little Fish girl, let's ......" Red Jujube asked, Shen Xiaoyu thought about it, and said: "Stay, I will have more things to do in the future, and someone at home must help take care of it." "She has to take care of both the yamen and the shop, and she can't take care of her family.

Chunfen and Red Dates are happy, and they don't have to be sent back to the dental store to wait for errands again.

The Ministry of Industry not only has to make some farm tools, but also goes to various places to inspect to see if the farm tool drawings and things issued by the imperial court are in line with the rules.

Shen Xiaoyu and Wu Yun were divided into a group, and they didn't have to go too far away, there were also people from the Ministry of Industry in the locality, and they didn't need to check these in Kyoto City, but because Shen Xiaoyu had been here for a short time, Yao Chengcheng asked Shen Xiaoyu to go and see more and learn more.

It is also awkward for Wu Yun and Shen Xiaoyu to go on the road together, although Shen Xiaoyu does not have an official uniform, but the rank is there, and he and Shen Xiaoyu are also a follower themselves.

Shen Xiaoyu didn't have any shelves, because it was a suburb of Kyoto City, and she didn't have a carriage, so she walked all the way with Wu Yun.

"We'll only be there in the afternoon, and we probably won't be able to come back in the evening." Wu Yun said on the side, if there is a carriage, it is estimated that one round trip a day can be done.

Shen Xiaoyu said: "Then stay overnight, I brought a lot of food, I can't be hungry, do you want to taste it, my Uncle Hu is very good!" As he spoke, he took out the sesame sauce cake.

Although Wu Yun felt that Shen Xiaoyu was a little out of state, he still turned out to be a sesame sauce cake, and when he took a bite, it was really fragrant!

"Do you have relatives in Kyoto City?" Shen Xiaoyu asked.

Wu Yun wondered: "How do you know?" ”

"The cost of Kyoto City is large, and it looks like what you eat on weekdays is not bad, so you should have relatives to take refuge in, and you shouldn't be ordinary relatives." Shen Xiaoyu said.

"It's my uncle's family, my uncle is the bookkeeper of the ministry, and the official is not as big as you, but the family background is still good." Wu Yun said.

Shen Xiaoyu didn't seem to be very happy when he saw Wu Yun's expression, so he said, "It's not good for you?" ”

"It's not counted, and the food is not short for me, but my parents died early, and I have lived in my uncle's house since I was a child, and my aunt has three sons, all of whom are older than me, and they all failed in the scientific examination three years ago, and this time they failed in the big exam, and the family felt that I was ominous...... "Wu Yun's words are not all finished, my uncle's house is now musical, and the three cousins are also not in shape, and most of the reasons for not being able to pass the imperial examination are because of eating, drinking, and having fun all day long, but my aunt thinks that it is his broom star, and Fang Ke their family.

Shen Xiaoyu also felt sour when he heard it, his parents died early, and their lives were hard enough, your own children couldn't pass the exam, what does it have to do with others? !

"No wonder you want to become a technician sooner, and then Yulu will be enough to set up your own door outside." Shen Xiaoyu said that she could understand Wu Yun's mood very well, and the life under the fence was really not easy.

Wu Yun sighed: "It's a pity that I'm a little stupid, you are younger than me, you have achieved the seventh grade, I have been in the Ministry of Engineering for more than a year, and I still have achieved nothing." ”

Shen Xiaoyu comforted: "This may also be a matter of opportunity, I was just a small trader selling handicrafts, and the things in the middle are more complicated, if it weren't for good luck, I might still be that small trader." You don't have to feel stupid as me, you're a talented person, and you'll be found out sooner or later! ”

was comforted by Shen Xiaoyu, and Wu Yun's mood improved a lot, so he asked: "You don't have to say it in terms of luck, I have also seen what you make, you are indeed very powerful, Lord Shangshu and the emperor both think that the things you make are good, otherwise you will not be given an official!" ”

Speaking of giving officials, Shen Xiaoyu said: "This is your advantage, my official position as a woman may stop at the seventh grade in this life, and it is an official in the Ministry of Industry who does not involve the political situation of the court, but you are different, you are a man, as long as you work diligently in the future, let alone the seventh grade, there are opportunities for higher grades, and the people in the Ministry of Industry have become human spirits, and you can go to the household department and the official department, and participate in national affairs, what do you say you have to be frustrated?" ”

Wu Yun was said by Shen Xiaoyu, and he was about to float up, and said with a smile: "When you say this, I feel that I seem to have an unlimited future!" ”

Shen Xiaoyu smiled: "So, people can't give up, the difficulties in front of you are not the difficulties in the future, as long as you pass the present, there will be many happy things in the future, when you become a big official, don't forget me, let me hug my thighs!" ”

Wu Yun laughed, although Shen Xiaoyu was suspected of fooling in what she said, she was right, as long as she passed the difficulties in front of her, she would be able to enjoy smooth sailing in the future.

The two chatted and walked, and when they waited until noon, they finally arrived at the designated location.

"Is this it?" Shen Xiaoyu saw a village road.

Wu Yun looked at the map, and the location should be correct.

"That's right, let's go, go in and find the village chief first." Wu Yun said.

Shen Xiaoyu nodded, continued to walk inside, and walked for half a cup of tea, when he saw a small village chief.

"It turns out that the villages near Kyoto Castle look like this, and they don't look like any different from other villages!" Shen Xiaoyu said, looking the same as Sihe Village, she originally thought that it would be very prosperous if it was so close to Kyoto City.

Wu Yun was speechless: "You still think too much, it's the same everywhere in the village!" ”

The two entered the village, because it was winter, there were not many pedestrians on the road, and when they got closer, they found a family at the entrance of the village and patted on the door.

Wu Yun waited behind, and Shen Xiaoyu stepped forward to inquire. It was a sister-in-law who opened the door, and when she saw two strangers, she asked, "Are you going to ......?" ”

"We want to find the village chief's house, and we hope that my sister-in-law can show me the way." Shen Xiaoyu said politely.

The sister-in-law said: "The village chief's house is not far away, walk along this alley, and the penultimate house, the vermilion door is the village chief's house." ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Shen Xiaoyu thanked him.

When the sister-in-law closed the door, Wu Yun asked, "We are officials, why do you speak so politely?" ”

Shen Xiaoyu pouted: "The official body is the official body, and you can do something that you can do with a good word, why do you have to put that score?" Defect! "Even when she wasn't an official before, she spoke politely, and sometimes it was better to listen to a sentence than to give money!

Wu Yun pursed his lips and said, "You know again?" ”

"You're still young, and you still don't understand a lot of things......" Shen Xiaoyu said Wu Yun quickly with a mouthful of old blood, as if he was so ignorant.

Walking to the village chief's house, Shen Xiaoyu saw that it was a vermilion gate, so he continued to knock on the door, and soon someone inside came out to open the door, this time it was a young man who opened the door, about the same age as them.

"Who are you?"

"We are from the Ministry of Industry, let's take a look at the tools used for spring plowing this year." Shen Xiaoyu directly showed the brand of the Ministry of Industry this time.

When the young man heard this, he said, "Come in first, and I'll go and call my father." As he spoke, he turned around and shouted: "Dad, someone from the Ministry of Industry is here!" ”

The village chief hurriedly came out of the house, clenched his fists and said, "The two are the officials of the Ministry of Works?" "It's too young to look like it.

Shen Xiaoyu showed the sign to the village chief and said, "People from the Ministry of Industry shouldn't come often, right?" "Although this village is not Kyoto Castle, it is considered the foot of the Son of Heaven, but it is also the boundary of the shoe, and it usually doesn't cause anything.

The village chief said: "Yes, the people from the Ministry of Industry have basically come every three or five years, and they will come to see it and leave, but this year the things in the village have been replaced with a new batch, and the adults should also come for this, right?" ”

Shen Xiaoyu nodded, the Ministry of Industry made a batch of new, neighboring villages as an experiment to test whether there would be anything useless when used in the field, Shen Xiaoyu came this time to listen to the opinions of the people.

"What's new, I'm always afraid that everyone won't be used to it, so I'll come and ask if there's anything that won't work!" Shen Xiaoyu said that if it is used well in the future, the drawings will be transmitted to everywhere, and the people can use them casually.

The village chief led the two of them away, and said as they walked: "It's a good use, and we've started to reclaim the spring famine in the past few days, it's ......."

Take a deep breath and see that the village chief has something to say, so he said: "Village elder, you can't help but say something, let's just come to see if this thing is suitable or not, if you don't say it, we don't know what's going on!" ”

The village chief hesitated for a moment, then said, "Everything else is fine, and it saves effort to use it, but this thing is easy to break!" ”
