In the dark, An Jiu shot several knife holes at the back of the Minister of Works without leaving any trace.
It would be fine if his own brothers were snatching the job from him, but why did another official come along?
When An Jiu thought of the group of brothers who had rushed to send Shen Zhiyi to him during the day, he wanted to bite his teeth to pieces.
“Xiaojiu, you’ve sent Shen Lang off so many times, it’s time for me, your brother, to do it today.”
"Get out of here. Do you know what it means to respect the old and love the young? After Xiaojiu, it's my turn to be Anba."
"Go, go, go, go. Don't you know that the older ones have priority? I should be the one to go first."
"Brother, you have the arduous task of protecting the emperor. Come on, get out of the way."
An Da stopped talking, but he also wanted to follow Shen Zhiyi to hear what fun was going on.
An Jiu saw a good show on the first day he followed Shen Zhiyi, and later he also learned a lot of fun things.
envious!
envy!
Hate it!
“Chen Lang, this restaurant was just opened by my brother. The signature dish is roast duck. I’ve eaten it before and it tastes great. I’ll treat you.”
Shen Zhiyi had smelled the fragrance long ago.
"Mr. Cai, do you have any instructions for me?"
Shen Zhiyi resisted the temptation with difficulty.
[If someone shows kindness for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief! ]
Ministry of Industry: ...
He really wanted to treat her to a meal!
"It's okay, it's okay. We just opened a new store and wanted to invite my colleagues to try it."
[Is this true? I am the only one invited? I don’t dare to eat. 】
[Could it be that this Gongbu Yuanwailang was worried about his brother and came here to test him and even dragged me along by force? ]
Seeing Shen Zhiyi becoming more and more biased, Gongbu Yuanwailang hurriedly said, "Shen Lang, my brother has excellent craftsmanship and is also a good village chief. He wants to make the whole village rich. At the same time, he is also very filial and has no resentment towards my biological mother."
[It seems that the craftsmanship is indeed good. 】
Shen Zhiyi swallowed shamefully.
[It seems that the good village chief is indeed the case. He knows that he is the child of the chief priest. Well, the chief priest has been sent away, but Liu is still there. His brother is still a deputy minister of the Ministry of Industry. He is rich and powerful. After recognizing his ancestors, he began to think of ways to use his mother and the deputy minister's connections to seek benefits for himself.]
[Who else is particularly filial? Laughing. Let me see what happened in the family of Gongbu Yuanwailang recently. How could you come to the conclusion that this person is filial to Peng?]
After reading it, Shen Zhiyi felt that he had followed the old emperor too early.
[Ahhh, old emperor, why did you leave so early? You missed such a good show. ]
[Good fellow, this village chief is really good at acting. His half-truths are really convincing. The official in charge of the Ministry of Industry is also cautious and has even sent someone to investigate.]
The official from the Ministry of Works touched the tip of his nose awkwardly.
We should always be on guard against others.
[Peng was indeed not nice to the village chief at first, but later when she got older, maybe because she felt more guilty or because she had no hope of being a priest for the scumbag, she started to treat the village chief better.]
[But the damage in childhood has already been done, so what good will it do to try to fix it later?]
[On the surface, the village chief and Mrs. Peng maintained a superficial mother-son relationship, but in fact, she still had some resentment towards Mrs. Peng in her heart. As for the fact that after recognizing her ancestry, the village chief put on such a show, in fact, it was also for the Ministry of Works to see. ]
The Deputy Director of the Ministry of Works had a question mark in his head at first, but he soon reacted.
Although my mother Liu was able to clear her name and all the literati in the world knew that those famous poems and songs were written by my mother, my mother was already old and was just a literary enthusiast.
He is different.
He is currently a fifth-rank official in Daye, and is also in the Ministry of Works, which is highly valued by the old emperor.
So the performance that day was actually mainly performed for him.
No matter what, this Mrs. Peng is his biological mother.
After understanding the situation, the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Works smiled helplessly.
He already felt guilty towards the village chief, so even if the other party didn't do this, he would have helped the other party more within his ability.
This is what he should do.
“Chen Lang, you can take both roast ducks.”
Shen Zhiyi looked at the person next to him with a little doubt.
She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that the person next to her seemed a lot happier.
[Who cares? If you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you're a bastard.]
"Then I would like to thank Mr. Cai."
Shen Zhiyi, who was carrying two roast ducks, went back with his right hand frozen red. Just as he unlocked the courtyard gate, a voice came from behind him.
"Shen Lang."
Shen Zhiyi turned around and saw a simple-dressed older sister walking towards her with her hands in her pockets.
"Uh, who are you?"
"Chen Lang, I used to work in the palace, but I was kicked out after making a small mistake. Later, I heard that your house was recruiting servants, so I came here and recommended myself."
Shen Zhiyi turned his head stiffly, looked at his small courtyard, and said hesitantly: "Can this of mine be called a mansion?"
The eldest sister was speechless for a moment. She had not expected that the favorite of the old emperor actually lived in such a shabby place.
"Oh, look at what you said, Shen Lang, there are officials living here, it's not a mansion, it's a blessing for this mansion, it elevates its style."
[What a talkative elder sister, but she works in the palace? ]
Shen Zhiyi was a little tangled. After learning from the previous experience, she carefully looked at the past of the elder sister in front of her this time.
[Wow, no parents! No relatives! Perfect!]
[Oh my goodness, she’s a palace maid. She used to be in charge of a group of palace maids. What kind of mistake could such a person make to be kicked out? ]
