The reward from the Ministry of Industry soon came down, and all those who made crossbow arrows were upgraded one level on the spot, although the grade difference for the technician was not too big, but Yu Lu was upgraded, and the effect was still visible.

Wu Yun was directly promoted to technician, and Yao Cheng was promoted from the eighth rank to the ninth rank by himself, or it was a ninth grade.

Before Shen Xiaoyu could go out early in the morning, Hongjube said: "There is a person at the door of our house, who carried something, and said that it was your colleague, let him in?" "The red dates are still proper, Shen Xiaoyu himself is not a little conscious, but after all, he is also an official, and someone comes to deliver something, in case someone says that something goes through the back door to accept bribes, it is not good.

As soon as Shen Xiaoyu heard this, she went to the door by herself, she really didn't dare to accept the gift, she was timid, she was afraid that someone would grab the pigtails.

When he arrived at the door, he saw that it was Wu Yun, Shen Xiaoyu was relieved, and saw that the things Wu Yun brought were some pastries, so he said, "Come here, what are you doing with things?" ”

Wu Yun said: "Don't dislike it! As he spoke, he sent things up, he was able to become a technician in advance this time, and he could be promoted, most of which was also due to Shen Xiaoyu, but even if he became a technician, he would be able to study the drawings of the Ministry of Engineering without restrictions in the future, which opened a door for him.

Shen Xiaoyu accepted it and said, "Come so early, you haven't eaten yet, right?" A? ”

Wu Yun said twice, and just stayed to eat.

At the table, all the people in the courtyard were on the table, and when Wu Yun saw it, he asked in a low voice: "Why can all the servants in your family serve the table?" ”

"Ah, just a few people." Shen Xiaoyu said, really let her eat alone, and feel a little lonely.

Wu Yun said: "You are really down-to-earth, in our family, not to mention the servant and the master have a table, I have a hard time serving the table, and I usually eat in the room by myself." ”

Shen Xiaoyu said: "I'll be casual." As he spoke, he said to Uncle Hu: "This soup is good, I will make it tomorrow morning!" ”

"Gotcha!" Uncle Hu responded directly, and turned around and asked, "Can the young man eat enough?" Again? ”

"No thanks." Wu Yun smiled: "Your life seems to be really easier here." ”

Shen Xiaoyu smiled and said to Wu Yun: "Don't you want to be the best technician?" I have some ideas, do you want to hear it? ”

"You say, I listen!" Wu Yun was still willing to accept Shen Xiaoyu's opinion, after all, others were stronger than him.

Shen Xiaoyu said leisurely: "Craftsmanship is mostly related to the mind, for example, what you want and how to figure out what you want to make is good, then you have to ponder it well, and ponder without distractions." Like you, the situation at home is so complicated, let alone pondering, it is estimated that life is terrible, how much energy can you put into research? ”

Wu Yun listened and nodded, what Shen Xiaoyu said was very reasonable, he was indeed very irritated in order to deal with things at home, after all, he was sent under the fence.

"Now that you have a fortune, move out!" Shen Xiaoyu said.

Wu Yun smiled: "You are so good to rent a house in Kyoto City?" A technician, from the eighth grade of the money can have a few dollars, to rent the money, I can only drink the northwest wind. ”

Shen Xiaoyu thought about it, and pondered too, not to mention the eighth grade, she didn't have many eldest sons in the seventh grade, if she didn't have a shop, she couldn't afford to raise the maids and cooks in her courtyard.

"Why don't you think about a side hustle? And I still have land in this yard, which can be rented to you cheaply! Shen Xiaoyu said.

Wu Yun shook his head: "That's not good, you are the hostess, my old man is sharing a house with you, it is not in accordance with the rules!" ”

Shen Xiaoyu smiled: "That's right, but you can buy some bricks, and I'll rent you the house at the back door, and when the time comes, the wall will be built, and there will be two households." ”

When Wu Yun heard this, he was really a little moved, but he still said: "The method is a way, but I can't eat and drink by myself with that little money, and I can't be in the yamen three times a day in the future, right?" ”

Shen Xiaoyu said, "Why don't you ...... With a little carpenter's work, my shop can also be rented to you. ”

"There are problems with eating, and you still rent a shop? It's nice to have a place to stay! Wu Yun said: "It's okay to use it for nothing!" ”

Shen Xiaoyu laughed: "It is impossible to use it for nothing, but I can take a cut, and in the future, for every piece you sell, give me thirty percent, and my sister-in-law is also hired by me, and I can also sell it on consignment during the day!" ”

Wu Yun thought about it, thirty percent is not much, but ......

"Your shop is all for your Boss Shen's craftsmanship, I'll ...... I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?! Wu Yun said.

Shen Xiaoyu shook his head: "I didn't have any fame, and the things I made were all paid by me, when my sister-in-law sold them, as long as I made it clear, if the guests really liked your things, it wouldn't affect it!" "Each flower has its own eyes, and the things that people like are not easy to figure out, in case there are really things that like martial arts, it doesn't matter!

Wu Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, deal." But the house is not in a hurry to rent, I will wait for the sale of some money to move the nest. ”

Shen Xiaoyu nodded, her own shop was not small, and she didn't have to do anything to get an extra penny, and the cooperation with Wuyun was a win-win situation!

After everyone had eaten enough, they were busy with their own work, Shen Xiaoyu and Wu Yun were going to the yamen, but before they could step out, there were people at the door again.

Wei Jingnian and Shen Xiaoyu have also seen it, and when she was summoned to the palace before, she had met Wei Jingnian.

"Grandpa Wei? Why did you come in person? Shen Xiaoyu asked, in the past, the rice paper was all other little eunuchs, and Wei Jingnian was not an ordinary person, and he would not run by himself for trivial matters.

Wei Jingnian said with a smile: "Lord Shen, there is a good thing today!" ”

As soon as Shen Xiaoyu heard that it was a good thing, he thought of Yao Cheng's words, could it be that he came so soon? Immediately, her face was happy, whether it was for gold, silver, jewelry or field products, she didn't dislike it!

Wei Jingnian took the holy decree, Shen Xiaoyu quickly knelt down, and one of the people in the courtyard knelt down, and Wei Jingnian began to read the holy decree.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said......"

There is a large list in the middle, all of which praise Shen Xiaoyu for his smart and clever character, and Shen Xiaoyu is not salty or light when he listens to it, what is written on the holy decree is nothing more than the words of the car, and he mainly has to listen to the last.

"The emperor specially presents the county lord of Chaoyang as a reward, admiration!" After Wei Jingnian finished announcing the holy decree, he said, "Lord Shen will accept the decree!" ”

Shen Xiaoyu knelt, her eyes were still straight, the county lord knew what to do, a symbol of status! Yao Cheng told her not to ask the emperor for a reward the day before yesterday, but now she has directly made the county lord, and she has really earned it! You must know that there are few county lords in the dynasty, not to mention that they have no relationship with the emperor?

Wu Yun knelt for a while and didn't see Shen Xiaoyu get up, and when he looked back and saw that Shen Xiaoyu was still in a daze, he poked Shen Xiaoyu with his elbow.

Shen Xiaoyu came back to his senses just now, just thinking about what a better life he would have in the future!

"Weichen Shen Xiaoyu takes the order!" Shen Xiaoyu hurriedly accepted the order.

After receiving the order, everyone also got up, Shen Xiaoyu was happy, and said, "There is Lao Wei's father-in-law who has a trip!" ”

Gonggong Wei said with a smile: "Congratulations, this dynasty is still the first county lord who is not sealed because of his family background, and the title of county lord is a lot of gold!" "There are really not many women who rely on their own skills to obtain status, after all, most people rely on their fathers and brothers.

Shen Xiaoyu was happy like a second fool and sent away Gonggong Wei, and Wu Yun said, "Just send it away?" Don't need to give people a 'labor fee'? ”

"No, only people who are willing to crawl the Internet will stammering this and that! I don't have to! Shen Xiaoyu said with a smile.

Wu Yun was speechless: "You said that you don't want to climb up, how can you still get these benefits in one go?" "He really wondered, he didn't have a goal, but he rose faster than anyone else!

Shen Xiaoyu still said the same sentence: "There are no distractions, the more you want it, your mind is full of so little things, and you can't do what you want to do!" ”

Wu Yun sighed, compared with Shen Xiaoyu, he is really more than a star and a half behind, this consciousness is a big difference!

Shen Xiaoyu and Wu Yun went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry together, and as soon as they entered the door, everyone said goodbye, and the Yamen also received a letter, knowing that Shen Xiaoyu is now the county lord.

"Thank you!" Shen Xiaoyu hugged his fists, and then went to find Yao Cheng.

Yao Cheng saw Shen Xiaoyu coming with a beautiful face, and smiled: "Happy this time, right?" ”

"It's all thanks to adults!" Shen Xiaoyu said that she also knew in her heart that Yao Cheng helped her like this, and it must be in order for her to repay something. Starting from the trebuchet, Yao Cheng's care for her began to be unusual, and then the new crossbow arrows that were made, she also believed that Yao Cheng would make a fuss about the crossbow arrows, Wu Yong was old, and he had been running outside for many years, and this Ministry of Works was also Yao Cheng's sooner or later, but starting from the crossbow arrows, she felt that Yao Cheng seemed to be not in the Ministry of Works.

Yao Cheng said: "This is also what you have exchanged for your own ability, you must know that with your crossbow arrows, how many fewer soldiers can die on the battlefield, and the war does not have to drag on for a long time, whether it is for the soldiers, or the people, or the treasury, it is a meritorious service." The position of the county lord is not low, it should be yours. ”

Shen Xiaoyu said at this time: "Xiaoyu knows that she is a girl, and there is basically nothing for me in the officialdom, and I am already satisfied if I can live like this, and I just want to continue to work well in the Ministry of Industry in the future." ”

Yao Cheng nodded: "You are a smart child, and you are not proud of your glory, but you still have to remember that the water in this Kyoto City is really deep." This can be regarded as advice to Shen Xiaoyu, there is generally no good end for the first bird. Even if you don't make a show, you may be hated, and if you are too public, you will definitely climb high and fall painfully.

Shen Xiaoyu nodded: "I wrote it down, thank you for reminding me." "Although Yao Cheng has other thoughts, in general, Yao Cheng is not bad-eyed.
