"We usually write a note asking for leave, state the reason and give it to Kong Jijiu. Once he approves it, we can take leave."
Jiang Yueyang nodded and asked, "Is Kong Jijiu easy to talk to?"
"Working in the library is an easy job. Unless there are special circumstances, Kong Jijiu will usually agree to it."
Being free also means there is no room for advancement. Either you are extremely talented or you can reach the seventh rank.
Someone like Jiang Yueyang, who starts out as a fifth-rank official, is rare in ten years.
Jiang Yueyang expressed her gratitude, "By the way, where did you buy this flower?"
"My mother bought this by chance in a grocery store. The shopkeeper said it was a flower she had never seen before, so my mother bought it and planted it. I don't know what kind of flower it is, but it's very beautiful."
Jiang Yueyang hurriedly asked again after hearing this: "Did your mother tell me where the shop is?"
Xu Zheng told her the address and said that he still had a lot of that flower at home. If she wanted it, he would have someone send it to her at Jiang Mansion tomorrow.
Jiang Yueyang wanted it very much, but she was too embarrassed to accept something from someone else for nothing. Otherwise, she would be impeached and fined one month's salary.
Although five taels of silver was not a lot of money for her, it was still very embarrassing to be fined repeatedly.
So she waved her hand and refused.
Xu Zheng tried a few times, but seeing that she really didn't want to accept it, he didn't force her.
"Then I will go and get busy first."
Not long after Xu Zheng left, Pei Yan came again.
Jiang Yueyang, who was about to stand up and study the storybook on the couch, sat down silently.
Pei Yan placed a book in front of her, "Master Xiao Jiang, Kong Jijiu heard that you have good handwriting, so he asked you to copy a copy of this book."
Jiang Yueyang glanced at the book in front of him that was as thick as a finger, "…Who told him that?"
Pei Yan: “…”
This is just a casual remark to keep you busy and prevent people from finding fault with you.
Pei Yan: "I don't know, do you need me to ask?"
"What do you think?" She would have to be crazy to ask such a question.
Pei Yan pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly, "Kong Jijiu asked Lord Xiao Jiang to copy it carefully, and make sure there are no typos, otherwise he will have to re-copy it."
Jiang Yueyang flipped through the book casually, sighed and said, "I know."
In this way, Jiang Yueyang copied books diligently until the lunch break.
She ate a little, continued copying for a while, then washed her pen and ink and left the palace.
Qingzhi was waiting outside the palace gate on time. Jiang Yueyang climbed onto the carriage and changed clothes while directing, "Go to Liu's Grocery Store on Yuehua Street."
Soon, the two arrived at Liu's grocery store.
Jiang Yueyang, who was feeling a little tired after copying books for the whole morning, suddenly became energetic when he saw the corn seeds!
There are no things like corn, potatoes, tomatoes, and peppers in this world, but surprisingly there are spices like pepper, star anise, and bay leaves.
But people here don’t know how to eat it.
Jiang Yueyang pointed at the corn kernels and asked, "Boss, how much is this?"
The shopkeeper, who was entertaining other guests, looked over reflexively. Seeing that Jiang Yueyang was asking about the seeds that had been piled up for a long time, he immediately walked over happily.
He exchanged those seeds with a passing merchant. He thought he could sell the rare items at a high price, but he ended up losing money on them.
Although he didn't spend much money, he felt annoyed by the sight of those things piled up there.
"If the girl wants it, give her a penny and take it all."
"all?"
Seeing this, the shopkeeper took out a bundle from under the shelf and unfolded it for Jiang Yueyang to see. There were more than a dozen small bags inside, all filled with seeds, but it was impossible to tell what kind of seeds they were.
"I got these seeds from the same person."
Jiang Yueyang was extremely excited when she saw a sprouted potato in one of the bags!
Ahhh…I can have French fries, spicy and sour potato shreds, mashed potatoes, and meat and potato stew!
Seeing that Jiang Yueyang didn't say anything, the shopkeeper asked anxiously, "Miss, do you want it?"
In order to prevent the shopkeeper from seeing her inner desire and asking for too much, Jiang Yueyang said reluctantly, "Okay."
The shopkeeper didn't notice, and immediately packed the corn kernels into the package and handed it to her with a smile, fearing that she would change her mind and not want it.
Qingzhi took the package and gave a piece of silver to the shopkeeper, who weighed it and gave him two cents and twenty coins in change.
After leaving the grocery store, Jiang Yueyang couldn't wait to go home.
She wants to plant a little bit of each of those seeds to see what kind of blind box will come out.
But before they reached where the carriage was parked, Jiang Yueyang was attracted by the noisy sound ahead.
When I got closer, I saw a fair-skinned, gentle-looking man being surrounded by several playboys and not allowed to leave.
In the restaurant next door, a man who was dressed elegantly and looked somewhat unruly was laughing at the man who was surrounded with his companions.
"I just said he looks like a woman."
“Hahaha… now that I think about it, the way he looked at you before was not right, could it be that he fell in love with you, Nan Muyang?”
Nan Muyang immediately showed a disgusted expression, "Don't disgust me, I am a serious man and I only like women."
The surrounded man wanted to break through the encirclement and leave, but those playboys would not let him go.
"Don't leave in such a hurry. Tell us what kind of men you like."
"Get out of the way!" the man growled.
"Why are you still angry? Look, you look more like a woman when you're angry! Otherwise, wear a skirt when you go out next time."
