It's so unreal. Yesterday, her life was hanging by a thread, and today she has become the 'most honorable person' in the servants' room.
The job also changed.
My father's job is purchasing and distributing goods. It's not tiring, but his monthly salary is more than eight times what it was before.
My mother-in-law distributes the laundry done by my parents to each room, and runs errands every afternoon.
The manager also said that Dajun had been replaced by a warehouse worker who moved goods to a personal soldier like Chen Wei.
The old couple confirmed again and again that Yingying had not traded her life for wealth before they began to appreciate the new house.
It was three quarters past afternoon when everything was cleaned up and the family sat together to eat.
When Dajun took the anti-inflammatory medicine at noon, he woke up, but he was very weak. He fell asleep again after a while. He didn't know that the house had been moved.
After dinner, Yingying prepared to go find Zhengwei.
"Knock~knock~knock~" There was a rapid knock on the door.
Yingying opened the door, and it was Taohong.
Taohong rushed over, tears welling in her eyes.
"Yingying, I heard about your situation as soon as I got back. I went to the old house but couldn't find you. They said you moved here."
Yingying let go of Taohong and saw that she looked nervous. It was probably because they were too familiar with each other. She could imagine what Yingying had experienced in the past two days.
"It's okay, it was a misunderstanding. I helped the young master, so she allowed me these."
Yingying spread her hands towards the new house.
"Help? What can you do to help the young master?"
Taohong still had a look of disbelief on her face. She knew best what she had.
"It's a coincidence. I was just about to go to the young master to ask for something. You should go home and rest first.
Anyway, we are very close to each other now."
Taohong nodded heavily, and her worried expression disappeared.
After saying goodbye to Taohong, Yingying hurried to the study. He was afraid that Zheng would get anxious and come to urge him again.
In the county magistrate's study
In the middle of the study, a middle-aged man with a potbelly, his eyes sparkling under a serene expression, asked his son, "Zheng'er, is this what you want?"
This is the magistrate of Changfeng Town, He was born as a top scholar, but because he has no background, he has remained a magistrate all these years.
There is no place to display all my talents.
His son has no ambition, and he is very disappointed with him. He just hopes that his son can live a peaceful life.
Some time ago, a landslide occurred in Xia'e Township, Changfeng Town. The prefect issued a strict order, requiring a solution to be found within five days.
I racked my brains but couldn't come up with a solution, but my son gave me an effective method.
"Dad, I saw you were so worried about this that you couldn't even eat, so I looked through books and scriptures and found this method."
"Where's the book?"
"I can't find where I put it. I just thought it was good at the time, so I wrote it down."
The county magistrate gave his son a long look and asked, "What about the matter of dredging the river?"
Hearing his father's question, he sweated again and said, "I was just thinking, Dad, give me an hour, not half an hour."
Seeing his father's look, he immediately changed his words.
The first quarter of an hour I spent in my father's study felt like a year had passed.
He took a deep breath and walked out of his father's study.
The servant beside the door immediately whispered in his ear that Yingying had been in the study for half a quarter of an hour.
He immediately set off towards his own yard.
As soon as I entered the study, I saw Yingying eating snacks and drinking tea, looking very leisurely.
And not long ago, he was still being "lectured" by his father.
Feeling unbalanced, Yu Zhengwei said with a displeased look on his face, "Yu Yingying, have you thought about the rest?"
"Pen and paper."
He immediately sat down at the desk, waiting to begin.
"The blocked river channel was blown up with gunpowder, and then the debris was removed by manpower."
"The fields were irrigated and drainage channels were dug."
Yingying took out a blueprint from her sleeve. She had taken some time to buy paper and pen from the mall and drew it.
She had encountered too many canals during her archaeological excavation and was familiar with their structures.
Just as he finished writing it down, he looked up and asked, "Someone said before that we could use gunpowder to blow it up, but gunpowder won't work if it comes into contact with water."
Yingying had a look of understanding on her face. "I just thought of it. I have bags that can block water. I can pack a few more and find some that are good at water resistance. I can put them at the bottom of the blocking stone."
Zhengwei nodded repeatedly, "Where is the bag?"
"This bag is very expensive. You can't take it for free. I'm very poor."
Yingying's eyes rolled around, "I don't want money either. Just give me that bottle. I like it very much."
Yingying pointed at a white jade bottle on the shelf, and the corners of her mouth twitched. She is really good at picking!
"Go get the bag." The matter was of great importance, so he didn't dare to delay.
He was determined to change his past life of idleness because this matter concerned his father's official position and his own glory.
Yingying turned around and walked out the door, pretending to take a few steps forward.
I went to a deserted place to open the mall, and bought a few extra large plastic bags for fear that they would not be enough.
After handing the plastic bag to Zhengwei, he quickly handed the white jade bottle to Yingying and left with the plan.
Yingying took it in front of her.
[Beep! A Jin Dynasty white jade bottle, valued at 1,153 taels]
"sell."
Clicking on the mall page, the balance in the upper left corner kept rising, and there was still 1,543 taels.
In the afternoon, Yingying planned to go out for a walk with Taohong.
Feeling refreshed, Yingying went to Taohong's house.
As soon as I reached the servants' quarters, I saw Taohong standing at the intersection, her face full of anxiety.
"Yingying, you're back. Something happened."
Yingying looked at Taohong's expression and asked hurriedly, "What's going on?"
"As soon as you left, Manager Zhao came looking for trouble, saying that thirty taels of silver were left behind when they moved yesterday, and your family took it."
"Talk as you go." Yingying grabbed Taohong and ran home.
