Kong Jijiu looked up when he heard the voice and stared at Jiang Yueyang for a long time before putting down the pen in his hand.
He said sternly, "Because time is tight, your office is not ready yet. I'm afraid you will have to work in the public area outside."
"It doesn't matter, it's more fun with more people." Jiang Yueyang said indifferently.
Kong Jijiu was very satisfied with this. "Your job is mainly to repair the books in the library. Don't worry about other things. If you have any questions in the future, just ask Pei Yan. He is your direct subordinate."
What the hell are direct subordinates?
Assistant? Secretary?
Jiang Yueyang glanced at Pei Yan, feeling very confused. However, she did not ask, but simply responded.
Kong Jijiu waved his hand, indicating that she could go and get busy.
Jiang Yueyang and Pei Yan turned around one after another, and Kong Jijiu looked at their backs thoughtfully.
Emperor Yuan asked him to come over for a talk yesterday, and he didn't beat around the bush and said straight out that he didn't need Jiang Yueyang to do any work that was required of her, and that she just needed to attend court and eat melons every day.
What this means is that the work that originally belonged to Jiang Yueyang can be completed by others without leaving any trace.
After all, not everyone knows about the inner voice.
Moreover, Emperor Yuan was already fully aware of Jiang Yueyang's lack of knowledge and skills, and now he felt from the bottom of his heart that she was incapable of completing the task of repairing the books.
Therefore, he was worried that those ministers with ulterior motives would use this as an excuse to drive her out of the court.
He could act arbitrarily and force Jiang Yueyang to stay in the court, but he might discourage those students in the world who were unaware of the inside story.
The most important thing is that he really doesn't want to be a tyrant or a corrupt official.
Pei Yan placed Jiang Yueyang in a quieter corner, which he had cleaned up before leaving get off work yesterday.
The things on the desk were very simple. Apart from the four treasures of the study, there was only a pot of chrysanthemums specially prepared for Jiang Yueyang.
It is not a rare variety, but it is small and beautiful.
"I heard that Lord Xiao Jiang likes flowers and plants, so I prepared this especially for you."
Jiang Yueyang smiled at him gratefully, "Thank you very much, what should I do now?"
"There's no rush for work. You can get familiar with the environment on the first day."
Jiang Yueyang nodded. It would be great not to have to work.
"Then... do you need me to show you around?"
"I want to rest for a while." She was very tired after walking all the way from the Hall of Supreme Harmony to here.
"Okay, call me if you need anything."
Jiang Yueyang nodded, and Pei Yan returned to his seat and buried himself in his work.
He and two other editors are the ones who share Jiang Yueyang's work.
Jiang Yueyang sat down in his seat, looked around, took out a bag of beef jerky from his sleeve, and started eating it secretly.
【Xiaogua, what time is it now? 】
【Half past eight.】
The working hours for Daxia officials are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with a two-hour break in between. The palace will provide working meals.
Jiang Yueyang took a bite of beef jerky and sighed to the system: [I am really going backwards and backwards. Now I can't even work from nine to five. ]
[In fact, I think the host is not living that badly now. At least you now own a thousand acres of official land. ]
Jiang Yueyang was shocked. [So many! Wouldn't that make me a landlord?]
Everyone: Aren’t officials more attractive than landlords?
The system didn't quite understand her, [Host, isn't your grandfather the richest man in Daxia? Why are your eyes so bright over just a thousand acres? ]
[My grandfather is rich, but I am not rich. What is there to be happy about? ]
The system poured cold water on her, "The official land is not yours either. If Suzhu no longer serves as an official, the court will take it back."
Jiang Yueyang had never heard of this and exclaimed when she heard it.
But she wasn't too disappointed, after all, she had already made up her mind to let her brother support her for the rest of her life.
In her previous life, she would have sneered at such behavior of relying solely on others.
But she figured it out in this life. Why not take advantage of someone who allows her to rely on you?
Life is only a few decades long, why make yourself suffer?
The system knew its host too well, and when it saw her indifferent expression, it knew what she was thinking.
[Host, if your brother gets married and your sister-in-law is not happy for your brother to support you, what will you do? ]
[Huh?] Jiang Yueyang thought the system was asking nonsense, [My brother wouldn't like a petty-minded girl, this assumption doesn't exist.]
The system thought about it and it made sense. Given the love the Jiang family had for the host, not to mention that Minister Jiang and his wife would have prepared a way out for her, her grandfather would not have ignored her either.
After all, when the host was just born, her grandfather gave her dozens of shops.
That's something Jiang Xun doesn't have.
However, none of these hosts know this.
The system said: [From this point of view, the host’s current situation is indeed a bit bad. 】
Everyone: If a fifth-rank official is considered bad? Then what are they?
Pei Yan and the other two who were helping Jiang Yueyang share the work: "..."
Jiang Yueyang finished chewing the beef jerky in his mouth and swallowed it. [I wonder when His Majesty will allow me to resign? ]
[I guess it was the day you became the Crown Princess. ]
[Then I'll just keep going to work. ] Jiang Yueyang blurted out.
Everyone was shocked that Lady Xiao Jiang didn't want to be the Crown Princess!
A certain spy of the prince silently took note of this matter.
[I'm so thirsty.] Jiang Yueyang looked around, [Where can I get some water here?]
[I don't know, the host should ask someone. Don't be scared, you are the most powerful person here besides Kong Jijiu.]
Yes, all of them are men in green.
Jiang Yueyang was not a shy person, so she clapped her hands and prepared to get up and ask Pei Yan.
But before she could take any action, a baby-faced colleague came over with a teapot.
He walked to Jiang Yueyang's desk and said shyly, "Master Jiang, would you like some tea?"
Jiang Yueyang blinked, [What a coincidence, I'm thirsty. ]
The baby-faced official's heart trembled when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "I just saw you eating, so I thought you might want to drink some water. I am sorry for being rude."
After saying this, the baby-faced official prepared to go back with the teapot.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yueyang smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, I'm thirsty. Do you want some beef jerky?"
"No, no, this is what I should do." The baby-faced official waved his hands flattered, but his eyes involuntarily glanced at the purse containing beef jerky.
Seeing this, Jiang Yueyang took two pieces of beef jerky and handed them to him, "Try it, it's delicious."
Daxia had a regulation that oxen could not be slaughtered at will, so even Emperor Yuan could not eat them often, let alone small officials like them.
The beef that Jiang Yueyang ate was sent by her grandfather.
The baby-faced official hesitated for a moment, but still took the beef jerky and said, "Well... then I won't be polite."
Jiang Yueyang nodded and reached out to pour some tea.
Seeing this, the baby-faced girl quickly picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Jiang Yueyang without saying a word.
