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

Yang Yuanzu took the first sip of the pigeon soup, which was delicious and rich in flavor. It contained red dates, wolfberries, codonopsis pilosula, and tea tree mushrooms. It seemed that Yang Huahua had put a lot of thought into it.

From the moment he opened the pot, Yang Yuanzu knew that this was not the pigeon soup that his wife had cooked on a whim.

Although Lin Ting'an has learned how to stew soup over the years, his skills are far inferior to Yang Huahua's. Yang Huahua takes cooking very meticulously. Not only does he control the heat to a precise degree, he also calculates the time to put the ingredients into the pot.

And his wife makes soup by putting all the ingredients into the pot together, adding salt and then simmering it over high heat until the soup turns into a thick white color.

Although it is drinkable, it is far inferior to Yang Huahuadun’s soup.

Yang Yuanzu took a bite of the dish and drank a mouthful of pigeon soup with enjoyment. After eating and drinking, he packed his food into a lunch box and prepared to take it home when he got off duty tomorrow.

People feel sleepy after eating, so Yang Yuanzu got up and went to the yard to digest the food.

There was a lantern hanging on the eaves, and Yang Yuanzu only moved for a few times in the light at the door. During this time, the mosquito bites were annoying.

Yang Yuanzu walked back and forth at the door several times. He couldn't stand the mosquitoes any more, so he went back to the farm, spread out a straw mat and a thin quilt, lit some wormwood mosquito coils, and began to lie down.

The surroundings were so quiet that not even the sound of cicadas or frogs could be heard. Yang Yuanzu just felt sleepy and couldn't help yawning, preparing to sleep until around five o'clock the next day before getting up to report for duty.

Yang Yuanzu made a bed on the floor next to the desk in case someone came to the Agricultural Department to look for him at any time.

Half asleep and half awake, Yang Yuanzu vaguely heard a noise coming from the warehouse. Yang Yuanzu opened his eyes and looked at the beams helplessly.

Here I go again. What on earth am I looking for? I’ve been searching for two months and still haven’t found it!

Yang Yuanzu stood up and walked towards the warehouse, gently pushed open the wooden door. As a result, the old wooden door loosened and fell to the ground with a loud noise. The thief in the warehouse who was wearing night clothes stared at Yang Yuanzu in surprise, and the two looked at each other for a moment.

Yang Yuanzu:......

When will the old wooden door in the warehouse be replaced with a new one?

When he leaves tomorrow, he will definitely suggest to Mr. Nong to buy a new door!

The thief was startled and jumped out of the window. He ran for a long time and looked back to see that no one was chasing him.

Yang Yuanzu was too lazy to chase after the person. He just shouted a few times that there was a thief and then went to check if anything was missing.

After checking, it was found that except for some things being a bit messy, no records were missing.

After Yang Yuanzu finished checking, he saw that no guards had arrived. He shouted a few times, but still saw no guards. He couldn't help but wonder where all the guards had gone today.

Thinking that there were no guards to protect the Agricultural Department, Yang Yuanzu no longer dared to sleep peacefully. He found a wooden stick and placed it next to the desk to keep himself alert at all times.

As soon as he sat down, two young eunuchs came hurriedly outside. Yang Yuanzu looked carefully and found that one of them was the eunuch who ran errands and delivered takeout for him in the afternoon.

The eunuch who delivered the meal was called Xiao Fuzi, and the person who came in with him was his good friend and roommate in the dormitory, named Xiao Lezi.

Two young eunuchs ran in hand in hand, looking panicked, and shouted, "Master Yang, something bad has happened! There's a fight going on in the Baohe Hall!"

Yang Yuanzu was totally confused. What kind of fight was going on? Was it a fight between ministers, or a fight between envoys and ministers?

There was no need to panic like this even if there was a fight. Yang Yuanzu calmly advised the young eunuch to sit down, drink some water, take a breath and talk slowly.

Seeing Yang Yuanzu's calm face, Xiao Fuzi dropped a bombshell in a low voice with anxiety and fear: "There's a rebellion in Baohedian."

Yang Yuanzu was stunned when he heard this. Would he be able to go home tomorrow? If he had known this, he would have come to Changjing three years later.

No wonder no guards came when he called for them today. They must have gone to Baohedian.

"What's going on? Calm down and tell me slowly."

"Xiao Lezi and I usually run errands in the palace, so we are much more informed than usual. Today we saw that the number of guards at Baohedian increased."

"It is common to increase the number of guards at birthday banquets."

It is an important day after all.

"But the number of guards is abnormally large, and they are all concentrated in Baohedian. The key is the news that Xiao Lezi heard when he was running errands and delivering things in the harem." Xiao Fuzi said and looked at Xiao Lezi. Xiao Lezi looked hesitant and did not speak.

During the time when Yang Yuanzu was in office, Xiao Fuzi had been running errands to deliver meals to him, so Xiao Fuzi had a lot of trust in Yang Yuanzu. So he said to Xiao Lezi, "It's okay, Xiao Lezi. Lord Yang can be trusted. The roast chicken I brought back just now was also given to me by Lord Yang."

"I believe in Xiao Fuzi. He believes in you, so I believe in you too." Xiao Lezi glanced at Xiao Fuzi, then said to Yang Yuanzu, "When I was delivering a pearl hairpin to the Empress in the harem, I heard that they were going to start an uprising in Baohe Hall tonight, so I quietly took Xiao Fuzi and fled in advance. Fortunately, the two of us have humble positions and will not attract attention."

"It's too dangerous to stay in the palace now. Lord Yang, let's escape together!" Xiao Fuzi continued.

Yang Yuanzu shook his head after hearing this, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "If what you heard is true, then the palace gates may have been controlled by someone to prevent tip-offs or to prevent reinforcements. We may not know if we rush over like this..." Yang Yuanzu shook his head and frowned, saying, "The risk is a bit high."

"What should we do?" The two young eunuchs cried anxiously. They had heard before that if there was a coup, the palace would be flooded with blood and littered with corpses.

"The Agriculture Department is still some distance away from the Baohe Hall, so their impact should not reach us for the time being." After Yang Yuanzu finished speaking, he locked the doors and windows and led the two of them to the Ministry of Works next door. Today, Lord Shi will stay in the palace to attend the birthday banquet, and it is unknown whether he will be in the Ministry of Works at this time.

If they were there, it would be easy to deal with. All the former assistant ministers had a key to a sealed vault in their hands. This vault was used to seal records, and only they themselves knew its location. If they hid in this vault, their safety factor would be much higher.

Before leaving, Yang Yuanzu took away the food box and small porcelain pot placed next to the table. He also searched the place where he usually kept his snacks and took away all the snacks such as cakes and dried meat. The two young eunuchs saw this and although they didn't understand what he meant, they hurried forward to help Yang Yuanzu.

In addition to pastries, dried meat, biscuits, candies and fruits, the two young eunuchs were very surprised that Lord Yang had hidden so much food at his workstation.

When Yang Yuanzu left, he not only took his own food with him, but also took away those of his colleagues in the Agricultural Department.

"Yang Dare, isn't it inappropriate for us to take other adults' food like this?"

"Just take it, I'll take care of it!"
