Because Jiao Shun had to go to the government office to schedule his shift in the past two days, he went out of the house before dawn despite the fresh snowstorm.

Xiang Ling and Yu Chuan'er tidied up the east room, and then went to the main room to help Wu'er with some housework. Then they went to the east room and asked Granny Hu who was chatting with the old woman who was waiting for Jiao Da to take leave.

After getting Granny Hu's approval, she went back to the house and wrapped herself in a fur-collared cloak before leaving the house with a paper umbrella.

Yingchun moved back this time and still lived in the original courtyard.

In fact, this courtyard was originally shared by her and Daiyu - Tanchun and Xichun also lived in the same place - but the old lady Bao loved Daiyu and kept Sister Lin by her side to take care of her, so Yingchun was able to live alone.

Xiuju was instructing two little maids to clear the snow. When she saw Xiangling coming, she hurriedly greeted her with a smile and joked: "Sister, you look like a fairy descending to earth, but you don't know what you are doing in this worldly place like ours?"

"

Xiang Ling smiled brilliantly, followed her to the corridor, closed her paper umbrella, and then asked: "Isn't Sister Siqi here?"

"Follow our girl to the old lady's place."

As Xiuju said, she turned around and scolded the two little maids: "You have no eyesight, and you don't want to bring a cup of tea to Sister Xiangling. Also, bring a foot stove from the room."

After sending the two maids away, she smiled and said, "If my uncle has anything to explain, sister just tell me."

"Our master has nothing to explain."

Xiang Ling said seriously: "Let me ask what is missing here. When we go to the lantern festival during the Lantern Festival, I can help buy everything and send it over."

"That means my uncle is thinking about us."

Xiuju's eyes were full of gratitude, but she couldn't help complaining: "Yesterday I said it was a 'Spring Festival Wine', but except for Miss Bao who asked a few questions, who else would care about what our girl is short of?"

Then he hesitated and said: "But all of a sudden, I don't know what is missing. Let's do it this way. When the girl and Sister Siqi come back, I will ask them carefully, and then I will go home to reply to my uncle and say thank you."

"That makes sense."

Xiang Ling thought about it for a while, then nodded and said, "Our master said when he went out that the shift schedule in this first month is not as regular as the regular duty. He will be back around three o'clock in the afternoon. My sister can come over then."

The two of them had a sound plan and didn't want to mention it too much.

However, it was said that when Jiao Shun arrived at the Yamen, he originally wanted to go to the handyman's office, but the clerk who did not want to be in charge of ordering and ordering said that because the chief who was supposed to be in charge of the Department of Affairs took a temporary leave, the superiors arranged for Jiao Shun to be on duty.

The head of the General Affairs Department is equivalent to the office director of the Ministry of Works. He is the only one with a lower status and weight among the chiefs. Accordingly, he has to deal with more than ten times more trivial matters than others.

Hearing that he was asked to work as a substitute in the Department of General Affairs, Jiao Shun couldn't help but frown and said: "I have never had any experience in the Department of General Affairs, but I am just afraid that I will miss my official duties."

"My lord, you are worrying too much."

The little official at that point explained hurriedly: "There are old officials on duty in the hall, and they can't bother you in front of the adults. Even if there is something big, as long as the adults report it to the boss in time, it will definitely not be your fault."

After confirming again and again, Jiao Shun received the temporary issuance seal and followed the clerk to the Secretary's Office in Qianya.

Because this department is not only the general manager of internal affairs, it is also responsible for receiving foreign guests. Not only does it occupy an area not smaller than that of other departments, but it is also better decorated.

only……

The lobby in the middle is really a bit dirty.

Not only were the peels and melon seeds scattered all over the floor, but there was still a half-pulled red bellyband hanging from the beam. Several government officials were picking it up with poles, but they couldn't pull it down, whether it was stuck or something.

The officer in charge of the command stamped his feet anxiously and urged: "Don't waste your time, hurry up and move the ladder!"

But the officials said that the manager of the warehouse had not arrived yet, and now that the warehouse door could not be opened, where could they find a ladder?

Seeing this, the official at Dianmao frowned and coughed heavily. When everyone followed the call, he raised his voice and said: "Everyone, please stop being so busy. Come and see the superior officer on duty today - Jiao Suozheng from the handyman office."

Only then did everyone come forward in confusion. Those with professional titles and honors bowed their hands in greeting, while those in white simply knelt down and cheered.

Jiao Shun was not in a hurry to let them get up. He pointed to the bellyband hanging on the beam and asked, "What's going on?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but everyone spoke back.

"how?"

Jiao Shun's face darkened: "My substitute words are not effective?"

If it were taken for granted, these words might not be able to frighten the officials of the Department of Affairs, but Jiao Shun was forced to have no choice but to join forces with outsiders to fight back, leaving the Ordnance Department disgraced and disgraced.

of uproar.

Who dares not to take such a ruthless gangster seriously?

The young official in green robe who was in charge at the moment replied hurriedly: "To my lord, Mr. Chen was on duty yesterday. Because he was really depressed, he went to the theater troupe and a few..."

Halfway through, he looked back at his bellyband, showing a look of helplessness on his face.

No need to ask, it must be Chen Yongpeng from the Tuntian Cleaning Bureau!

This guy is a descendant of the Duke of Qi, and he is also a minister of Xingjin, but he is completely different from the low-key Jia Zheng, who has always been the most undisciplined and dissolute.

Jiao Shun frowned and asked, "Why don't you clean it up in time at night?"

"this……"

The green-robed official smiled bitterly: "Master Chen is dedicated to serving the public. He stayed here specifically last night and didn't leave until just now."

Jiao Shun didn't know what to say, so he rolled up his sleeves and said: "Clean up quickly, I will check the room in the back room first..."

"grown ups."

But the junior official reported again with a sad face: "The inside is even more messy, and the smell is not very good."

What on earth did that man named Chen do in the yamen?

Jiao Shun had no choice but to go to the east chamber first and find a temporary place at the eighth-grade clerk's table.

I just ordered someone to find the nearest newspaper to relieve my boredom. Suddenly, it became noisy outside, and I heard someone cursed drunkenly: "That jade pendant was handed down from my ancestors. It was a treasure that my great ancestor personally opened. If I can't find it,

Even if I sell you, I can't afford the compensation! Where is the person in charge? Who is in charge today?!"
