But he said that this afternoon.

Han Sheng, the head of the General Affairs Department of the Ministry of Industry, quietly moved someone to the duty room and asked with a straight face: "It's been more than a month since that slave took office, but why haven't you seen any movement?"

Most of the people in charge of the Ministry of Industry are pragmatic, and their actual power is not as upright as the following.

Only Han Sheng was in charge of the Department of Affairs and was not under the control of other departments. He was directly subordinate to Shangshu and Shilang. In terms of authority, he was comparable to the office directors of later generations, and he had the potential to keep pace with the ministers of various departments.

Hearing Han Sheng's question, the man opposite hurriedly defended: "When he first came here, he delegated some official duties to Mr. Zhao, and then he came up with some work-study scheme, and he actually got the support of Mr. Su——

Even if the villain has the intention to harm his good deeds, he must have this opportunity to do so."

After a pause, he added: "Mr. Jiao is even more proficient in accounting than the few accountants he hired. I was picked out by him a few wrongly, but now I have to do it."

Be extra careful and serve me.”

"Useless things!"

Han Sheng cursed and played with a finely carved pen holder for a long time, then said in a low voice: "That's all, it's hard to compete with a lion. Don't conflict with Jiao Shun first, wait until you find his shortcomings in the future.

"

After hearing this, the man opposite him first breathed a sigh of relief, but then looked at Han Sheng furtively.

"Hmph~"

Han Sheng snorted and said without raising his head: "I have already made arrangements for your grandson to enroll in the academy. He will report to the academy after fifteen."

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"

The man was so happy that he lifted up his robe, knelt down and kowtowed solemnly. Seeing that Han Sheng had no other instructions, he resigned and left.

But he said that he came out of the duty room, shook out some scattered silver from his sleeves, and was about to hand it to Han Sheng's personal entourage. Unexpectedly, someone in the courtyard suddenly called out: "Liu Suocheng, why are you here?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Liu Changyou was so excited that a dozen taels of silver rolled all over the floor like a goddess scattering flowers.

But he didn't bother to pick it up. He turned his head stiffly, rushed to the person who came, bowed and said: "Jiao, Mr. Jiao."

Jiao Shun's eyes first glanced at the pieces of silver, and then fell on Liu Changyou's face playfully. After a long while, he smiled and said: "What a coincidence, I was originally thinking of looking for you——

You must have remembered what I said before, right? I will be waiting for you at Rongguo Mansion tomorrow morning."

"Don't worry, sir. I'm in a hurry. I'll definitely rush there early tomorrow."

As Liu Changyou spoke, he showed his usual honest smile, but this time it felt awkward.

"That's good."

Jiao Shun stepped forward and patted him lightly on the shoulder. He stared at Han Sheng's room attendant and said, "Before, I was worried that if I didn't have any acquaintances in the General Affairs Office, I would be in trouble during the attendance and evaluation process. But now I'm relieved - I'm going to

If there is anything else here in the future, I will just ask Liu Suocheng."

"This, my... humble position..."

Liu Changyou's broad shoulders seemed to be made of paper for a moment, and half of them were crushed by Jiao Shun.

He wanted to explain in panic, but Jiao Shun raised his hand to stop him, and said without any explanation: "Just leave it like this, I'm going to take a personal leave in a hurry, you go back to the office first and tell the recent official affairs manager

Be prepared, I'm going to check it 'carefully' later."

With that said, he left Liu Changyou and went directly to the side hall.

When he came out after taking personal leave, there was no sign of Liu Changyou outside.

Jiao Shun glanced sideways at Han Sheng's room attendant, secretly thinking that this handyman's office had really become a sieve, with everything above and outside being connected.

Although he had acted calmly before and even hit Liu Chang once while chatting and laughing, but facing this mess, he really couldn't feel happy.

It's a good thing that Jiao Shun didn't make any inventions at the beginning, but chose to take advantage of the situation and start from the big picture, otherwise he might not be able to pass Liu Changyou's test - just talking about specific craftsmanship, ten of them are tied together.

, I’m afraid he may not be Liu Changyou’s opponent.

Alas~

I'm afraid I'll have to be more cautious in the future in the yamen.

After sighing, he went back to the office to bind and seal several important documents, and then went to the handyman's office to beat up the uneasy Liu Changyou in front of everyone.

They even made a rule in public that if there was any dealings with the Department of Affairs in the future, they would all be entrusted to Liu Changyou.

By doing this, the monk Liu Changyouzhang was confused.

After leaving the office, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, so he gritted his teeth and prepared two carefully made folding fans, intending to present them to Jiao Shun when he went to Rongguo Mansion tomorrow, so that he could take the opportunity to make up for it.

Not to mention him.

But when Jiao Shun returned to the Rongguo Mansion, he saw countless carriages and horses parked in front and behind him, and there were also boys carrying food boxes and waiters going back and forth.

When we arrived at our home, there was actually a table for takeout already set up in the main room.

Jiao asked Yu Chuan'er who came out by the way: "How come the people who deliver wine and food to the house are so busy, but they even order delivery to our house?"

"Isn't this going to break ground tomorrow?"

Yuchuan'er welcomed him into the house and helped him take off his official robe and put on his home clothes, shoes and socks. He explained: "Lao Tao Zhang of Qingxuguan calculated it and said that you should avoid the smoke of fireworks before starting work.

In the morning, all the stoves had stopped, even the boiler room had turned off."

No wonder there's no heat in the room at all!

It's really hard not to let fires start in this winter.

After complaining for a while, Yuchuan'er added: "Our house is pretty good. In order to avoid the sudden snowfall when the construction started, and the fact that the house would have to pay tribute to the Dragon King all night, we arranged for seven or eight stewards to take turns keeping an eye on the house.

, I’m afraid I’ll even kneel through the futon.”

After saying that, he squeezed his body into Jiao Shun's arms and said: "If you feel cold, sir, Xiangling and I can warm up the bed first at night."

This is also a common thing in big houses.

But today is a day for rest. If we let them warm the bed, how can we be like beasts again?

Alas~

That’s all.

How can a 'fool' like Mr. Jiao escape from the sword at his waist?

I consoled myself for breaking the precept, and thought a few times to myself, "I'll definitely do it next time." Then my mind was filled with the warm fragrance of soft jade.

Just at this time, Xiangling came in from outside and said to Yuchuan'er: "Your sister has come over and is waiting outside on the corridor now."

Yu Chuan'er then left Jiao Shun behind and hurried outside to greet him.

When I went out, I saw Jin Chuan'er pacing back and forth in the corridor with a haggard face, looking like she was distracted.

Yuchuan'er became anxious for a moment and hurriedly pulled her sister to ask: "But what happened at home?"

"Home?"

Jin Chuan'er was stunned for a moment before she understood. She stared at her beautiful eyes and said, "What are you talking about? I'm doing well at home! It was Xiren who begged me to come over. Didn't Mr. Bao have hysteria again recently? Although he's better now,

But from time to time some nonsense comes out.”

"Tomorrow is the big day for the groundbreaking. Guys from the East and West Prefectures are going to be there. Xiren is afraid that Mr. Bao will cause trouble in front of him, so he thought of asking Mr. Jiao to help look after Yi and Er."

Yu Chuan'er then breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Is it just our family, or several other masters?"

"Second Master Lian and Uncle Zhen also asked the two grandmothers to help spread the message, but you don't have a serious hostess in the courtyard, so I can only do it."

"Then I'll go back to you soon, sir."

Yu Chuan'er heard that they all had requests, so she nodded in agreement.

Seeing that my sister was unhappy, she was obviously worried about Jia Baoyu's condition, so she couldn't help but curl her lips and said: "Since I entered this house, Mr. Bao has been sick eight times if not ten times. You have to follow me, sister." It's time for someone else to take care of him - otherwise, even if I take advantage of him, I'm afraid his body and bones may not last long."

"Bah, bah, bah!"

Jin Chuaner spat a few times and said angrily: "Why are you cursing him for no reason? Be careful, if someone hears you, my wife will skin you!"

"I am now a member of the Jiao family, why should I let my wife handle it?"

However, Yuchuan'er was not intimidated by her. She held out her increasingly full gift and said in a tone of experience: "Sister only cares about his family background and appearance, but she doesn't know that a man needs to be like our uncle, who is born with such a gift." The spirit of Tuan Longma is the right thing to do. If you are sick all day long, what fun can you have?"

Jin Chuan'er completely disagreed with her statement.

In addition, I was already worried about Baoyu's condition, so I couldn't bear to hear this.

She didn't care that she was at Jiao's house for a moment, and retorted: "Yes, yes, only your uncle is good. Second Master Bao's life experience and appearance are not worth mentioning, so adding up the talents and talents that everyone praises, it is worth it." But with your uncle’s brute strength, it’s finally done, right?”

"you!"

How could Yu Chuan'er allow others to belittle Jiao Shun?

He was also annoyed at the moment, and said bitterly: "I was just thinking about my sister, why is she so anxious? Come on, since we think our uncle is a reckless person, there is no need for him to take care of your second master Bao. !”

"You girl! This is a serious matter, how can you mess with it?!"

"Why are they confused? It was obviously my sister first..."

The two sisters exchanged words with each other, and then they started arguing in the corridor.

Inside, Jiao Shun heard the voices getting louder and louder. He couldn't help frowning and raising the curtain to come out and scolded: "What do these sisters look like when they quarrel? Yuchuan'er, why don't you quickly make amends to your sister!"

Yu Chuan'er pouted dissatisfiedly, but after all, she cared about the friendship between the sisters. She blessed her sister, said "Sister, please don't be angry" without any sincerity, and went back to the house.

Jin Chuan'er also wanted to leave in anger.

However, thinking of the purpose of his visit this time, he still forced a smile and said: "Uncle Jiao, our second master Bao has been suffering from hysteria recently and often talks nonsense. Please keep an eye on him tomorrow and don't let him make any mistakes in front of the master."

"Just this one thing?"

Jiao Shun asked curiously: "Then why did you have a quarrel just now?"

Jin Chuan Queer only said that it was because of trivial matters at home, and then left with a slight sigh of relief.

Jiao Shun watched her go out of the courtyard and was about to go back to the house to ask about Yu Chuan'er.

In the main room, Granny Hu raised her voice and said she was afraid that the food she bought would get cold, so she asked Jiao Shun to use it while it was still hot.
