Chapter 279 Yan Siyu: I have found my life and work, my family

"Those two families said that the yard is uninhabited. Can we go in and take a look?"

Xie Hui nodded, "Of course, it's okay, but it's getting dark now, so it's not very convenient to watch it. Why don't we come back tomorrow?"

"You are right. But I will bring my own people tomorrow. This case is already a case of the Dali Temple. Sir Xie will not have to take care of it in the future. But if I have any questions, I will still come to you, Sir Xie!"

Xie Hui chuckled, "Well, thank you for your hard work, Master Shen. Just let me know if you have anything to say."

"I'll take a few days off. If the weather is good, do you want to go horse racing together?"

After a year, Shen Yuan's riding skills have become quite proficient, but this time, she shook her head and refused, "I have something to do on the day of the holiday. Siyu posted a message and invited us to meet on that day. She said she had something to tell us, so we can only meet next time."

"Okay, that's okay."

The two of them walked out of Lihua Lane, and without noticing, they held hands naturally while walking on the road. When Shen Yuan reacted, she realized that it was no wonder that passers-by would turn their heads to look at them. In the past, if she saw two people in official uniforms walking hand in hand on the road, she would inevitably take a few more glances...

——Retreat day

"What did you say? Really?"

Facing the astonishment of her three friends, Yan Siyu nodded and said, "It's true. I really passed the exam to join the matchmaking department."

Shen Yuan said: "Why didn't I hear you say this before? You are quite strict."

"Before, I forgot about it. Besides, I just got excited. I didn't expect the matchmaking department to be so easy. I passed it on the first try."

After hearing what Yan Siyu said, Shen Yuan asked curiously, "What is the exam for the matchmaking agency?"

"One day, a couple came in who were quarreling and wanted to divorce. The matchmaker told me to treat it as a test and asked me to go and persuade them. I went and persuaded them in just a few words. Then the matchmaker praised me for being a good match. That's how it happened."

Yan Siyu herself had never thought that she would get an official position like this. Although it was a very small position, Yan Siyu liked it very much. She thought the matchmaking department was very interesting and she couldn't wait to start work there.

"My mother said that I was not doing my job at home, and wanted to find a matchmaker to find me a husband. Now I don't have to find one. I can go to the government office to be a matchmaker. It's a good job, and I can do my job and be a matchmaker. It's a pity that you all have your partners, so I don't need a matchmaker. Otherwise, I would find the best man in the capital for you to meet."

Jiang Yunyi smiled and said, "Don't worry about us. If you see something good, keep it for yourself."

"That won't do. Have you ever seen a matchmaker who doesn't match other people but herself? Although I'm not a matchmaker, I'm almost the same if you think about it. If I find someone for myself, what will that mean? Wouldn't that be espionage by custody?"

Yan Siyu's words made the three of them laugh.

"By the way, I have something to tell you."

"Wait! Don't tell me yet, let me guess." Yan Siyu interrupted Lu Shuyan, "Could it be... you are pregnant, right?"

Lu Shuyan smiled helplessly, "Sorry, not yet. I mean my caravan should be back soon. It's been a year. This time it's going to Persia and other countries in the west. Remember to come when the time comes. I won't charge you for the things you pick. Actually, I wanted to go out to sea, but sea caravans are not that easy to find, and the cost must be very high. I can only wait and see."

"Tsk tsk tsk!" Yan Siyu shook her head and sighed, "Yuanyuan, guess who is sitting in front of us?"

Shen Yuan cooperated and said, "I know, he will definitely be the richest man in Dazhao in the future!"

"That's right! Shuyan, you are amazing. Where do you get the energy to do so many things?"

"Yes, Shuyan, these things are important, but don't tire yourself out."

"Don't worry, I know this. Stop talking about me. Our little Master Shen has been very popular in the capital recently. Many people have seen him chasing thieves on the street."

Shen Yuan smiled and said, "It's better not to make a fuss about it."

The case in Lihua Lane had some clues after she had looked at the two courtyards that were said to be uninhabited. The courtyards seemed to be uninhabited, but when she was checking in the courtyards, she somehow found some leftover biscuit crumbs in the haystack in the courtyard. If she smelled them carefully, she could even smell the scent of biscuits fried in a pan, which showed that this place was definitely not deserted.

Sure enough, a hole was found at the base of the courtyard wall. This hole would be overlooked if you were not careful, because it was usually blocked up, but the bricks were slightly different from the surrounding ones.

In fact, this case is also very funny. It was treated as a serial case by Jingzhao Prefecture and Dali Temple. In fact, the neighbor accidentally climbed over the wall to pick up clothes blown by the wind and saw a small piece of silver. Later, he heard from somewhere that the neighbor had stayed in the palace. He didn't know if there were any treasures hidden there. When the man heard it and thought of the silver he picked up, he thought it was real. He was afraid that this secret would be discovered by other people, so he deliberately made up such a thing, making Lihua Lane a place that no one dared to come.

As for the fact that she was in the spotlight, it was because when she was arresting someone, the man tried to run away, and Shen Yuan chased him without thinking too much, and even picked up a bowl from the stall next door and smashed it on him.

But she had never practiced before, so naturally she missed. In the end, the man was arrested by the constables from the Dali Temple, and she paid him back with a bowl of wine.

I don't know how this story got passed around and turned into a story about a female official from the Dali Temple subduing a thief with a bowl on the street. Even though Shen Yuan was thick-skinned, he couldn't help feeling embarrassed when he heard it.

"But it was you who solved the case. What's the big deal if it's a little exaggerated? Master Shen, just accept it with peace of mind."

Shen Yuan laughed, "Really? The storytellers in the teahouse have started telling stories about a female official from the Dali Temple who was strong enough to lift a tripod and killed a thief with a bowl. Can I really accept this?"

"Forehead..."

——A short drama about how Yan Siyu persuaded people to make peace in the matchmaking department

Yan Siyu: Do you really want a divorce? If you have decided, we can sign the divorce papers later. However, you are so young, do you want to find another one? We still have many good young men in our matchmaking department!

Husband: What are you talking about? We are here to get a divorce, not to see each other!

Yan Siyu: No problem. You are getting a divorce, why would you care about your wife? Madam, what kind of people do you like? If you like scholars, we have scholars here, who are eloquent and fair-looking! If you like strong and powerful people, we have them here too, including members of the dragon boat team, the Cuju team, and the police officers of the government, each one stronger than the other!

Husband: We are not getting divorced. We were just joking. We don’t want to get divorced…
