Traveling through books: Traveling through time with a golden finger to become a soft rice man

"Where do I have time to bask in the sun? I just went to report to the head of the farm."

"Yang Nongshi is really busy."

"Same, same, I'm not as busy as you adults, discussing important matters even while walking."

Their official positions were one level lower than Yang Yuanzu's, so Yang Yuanzu was not afraid of making hidden threats when he spoke.

The two wanted to refute after hearing this, but they couldn't find the right words. It was indeed them who gossiped behind others' backs, but they didn't want to be humiliated by the newcomer in secret, so they said, "Of course we are busy, even on weekdays when we are off duty. We are so busy that we don't have time to go to restaurants, theaters, brothels and other places for entertainment."

Yang Yuanzu didn’t believe that these people who looked like they had kidney deficiency had never been to a brothel. They even had dark circles under their eyes!

It is impossible to work overtime. He has never seen anyone in the court stay to work overtime voluntarily, even if it is passive. The bosses here have no concept of overtime at all.

"Oh~ Then who was that person I saw at the entrance of Fanjin Building yesterday?" The two looked panicked when they heard that. Yang Yuanzu said, "Could it be the adults' twin brothers? I have never heard of any adults having twin brothers. Could it be the son of your father who was left behind in his early years? I must go and find out about this."

"Yang Nongshi, don't go too far."

"What did I say? You gentlemen are so angry. It's too narrow-minded. I'm not angry about you saying that I went to Yunjinlai. Besides, Yunjinlai and Changjing are separated by tens of thousands of miles. I can fly there with wings!"

After saying this, Yang Yuanzu flicked his sleeves and left, too lazy to argue with the two and waste time.

Recently, people in the agricultural department looked at him with mockery or disgust.

Yang Yuanzu doesn't believe that others have not been to those places. If you make him angry, he will apply to His Majesty for a comprehensive inspection of work style and see if you can escape it.

If we have to die, we all die together. Besides, he is innocent, so he may not die!

It would not be a good thing to let the rumors continue. When Yang Yuanzu returned to his workstation and was worried, a young eunuch ran to the Agricultural Department. He looked at the door and saw Yang Yuanzu and shouted, "Master Yang!"

The young eunuch's voice was so soft that if Yang Yuanzu had not happened to look out the door he would probably not have noticed him.

The young eunuch was immediately relieved when Yang Yuanzu saw him, then he smiled and called out "Master Yang" again. Only then was Yang Yuanzu sure that the other party was calling him.

Yang Yuanzu stood up and walked out and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The master's husband has brought lunch and is waiting at the palace gate."

The court does not provide meals, so the officials who work here either have their families send them food, or pay for the meals to the imperial kitchen, which will help prepare some food at noon.

The Imperial Kitchen was the place responsible for the meals of the Emperor and the nobles in the harem. The food expenses for officials of the same rank as them were naturally not cheap, so officials with low salaries usually chose to ask their family members to deliver the food.

Naturally, Yang Yuanzu would not be taken advantage of by the imperial kitchen, so he chose to ask his family to help deliver the food, and he was more accustomed to the meals at home.

The meals sent from home were completely based on his taste, so Yang Yuanzu felt that the meals at home were better than those from the imperial kitchen. It was also okay to try the meals from the imperial kitchen occasionally for a change of taste.

After receiving the news, Yang Yuanzu touched his sleeve pocket and found that the nine taels of silver he brought with him today had been pried away by Liu Baba.

So he pulled a colleague over and saw that it was another agricultural official, Li Rui, so he asked, "Sir Li, do you have half a tael of silver?"

Lord Li, who was being held by him, nodded in confusion, and then heard Yang Yuanzu say, "Lend it to me for a while, and I'll return it to you in the afternoon."

With a surprised look on his face, Lord Li took out half a tael of silver from his purse and gave it to Yang Yuanzu, who then gave the other half a tael of silver to the young eunuch as a reward. The young eunuch quickly said politely, "Lord Yang, it's not necessary. Your husband has already given me a reward."

Yang Yuanzu took back the half tael of silver with an expressionless face and returned it to Lord Li. The young eunuch looked at the half tael of silver reluctantly, as he was just being polite!

After thanking the young eunuch, Yang Yuanzu walked out of the palace gate, praying on the way that the lunch was not prepared by Lin Ting'an.

Although the young eunuch lost half a tael of reward money, he was happy to receive a thank you from the adult.

In the past, most of them would not say thank you when running errands for the adults. Some not only would they not say thank you, they would not even give any reward money, as if they were born to be lowly dust that did not deserve to be looked at.

These little eunuchs are the adults' magic mirror. Because the adults never take them seriously, they will not try to hide themselves and thus easily expose themselves in front of them.

When Yang Yuanzu rushed to the palace gate, he saw many officials' family members coming to deliver food, but most of them were servants. Yang Yuanzu saw Lin Ting'an chatting happily with a woman, both of them holding children in their hands.

I guess it was the children who gave them a common language.

Tianpu was sitting in the carriage reading a book, the guard was standing not far from Lin Ting'an holding a knife, and Xiaofan was standing behind Lin Ting'an holding a food box.

It was Tianpu who first noticed Yang Yuanzu when he came out. After seeing Yang Yuanzu, Tianpu reminded Lin Ting'an, who turned around and looked at Yang Yuanzu.

The tiger boy who was being held in the hand also noticed Lin Ting'an's movements. In the last second he was chatting with the child held by the parent opposite, and in the next second he was about to pounce on Yang Yuanzu.

As usual, Yang Yuanzu lifted Tiger Boy up high in his arms.

Lin Ting'an said something to the parents who were chatting and then took Xiao Fan to Yang Yuanzu. Yang Yuanzu asked curiously, "Whose family is that?"

Lin Ting'an introduced: "She is the wife of the Master of Mathematics. She heard that I was from the Yang family so she took the initiative to come and chat with me. I heard her say that you and the Master of Mathematics in his family get along very well."

Yang Yuanzu nodded and said while teasing the child, "Master Suan and I worked together for a period of time. He was obsessed with arithmetic so we had a better relationship."

Lin Ting'an knew that Yang Yuanzu was good at arithmetic, so it was not surprising that these two people got together.

Lin Ting'an then asked Yang Yuanzu about Yunniang. Yang Yuanzu was surprised. He didn't expect Lin Ting'an to be so well-informed.

Lin Ting'an believed in Yang Yuanzu, so he naturally didn't believe the rumors. That's why he came to Yang Yuanzu to inquire.

Yang Yuanzu honestly told what had happened before, starting from the day he went looking for the child.

Yang Yuanzu told Lin Ting'an these things, firstly to explain the misunderstanding, and secondly to make Lin Ting'an more careful.
