Song Yuyan looked at Tang Zhi suspiciously, based on what she knew about this little girl, she would definitely not come to hang around her just because she had nothing to do.

She sharply spotted the corner of the bag protruding from behind Tang Zhi. Although she didn't know what was in it, she had an intuition that it had something to do with Tang Zhi's coming.But people didn't take the initiative to mention it, so she couldn't rush up to ask, so she said: "It doesn't matter if you have nothing to do, come in and have a seat."

The first time Tang Zhi lied, she felt ashamed and panicked. Hearing that Song Yuyan had no doubts, she was slightly disappointed and at the same time relaxed.

After entering the house, she discovered that a large space had been vacated in the west yard of the Song family, and a lot of bamboo and bamboo weaving had been moved into the main room.

She remembered that Song Yuyan said that she wanted to build the house on the west side, so she asked, "Are you planning to start building the west courtyard?"

Speaking of this, the corners of Song Yuyan's mouth turned up: "Yes, I finally saved enough money to repair it earlier, so that Sun'er and Bing'er are still crowded in the same room. Now Bing'er is still young, and others rarely talk about it. , but if they grow up, there will definitely be more people who break their mouths."

In fact, in the eyes of outsiders, Song Yuyan's relationship with Sun'er has improved a lot now, so it's no problem for the two of them to share a room. Song Yuyan should vacate the room on the east side for Bing'er.But the key point is that Song Yuyan is not really a man, so Tang Zhi would never persuade her to do so.

Song Yuyan poured Tang Zhi a bowl of water with sugar in it, so Tang Zhi tasted sweet.Song Yuyan didn't forget to grab the cloth bag after seeing her sitting down, and could see that the things in the cloth bag were very important to her, so she couldn't take the initiative to ask.

After Tang Zhi drank the water, someone in her heart was instigating her to take this opportunity to give away the carving knife. She looked around and decided to find a topic first, and then cut to the main topic when the time came.

It's just that she was nervous, so she said immediately, "Is the pancake not here?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she wished she could bite off her tongue. Bing'er was doing homework with her younger sister at Tang's house. Before she came out, she told the two little guys to take good care of the house.

She seemed to be able to see Song Yuyan's puzzled, teasing, and curious eyes. When she thought of this, she avoided Song Yuyan's eyes and dared not look directly at this person.

But she was wrong. Although Song Yuyan did look at her, he didn't laugh at her knowingly as she thought.Song Yuyan pondered:

"Could it be that this little girl just came back from outside and hasn't arrived home yet?"

She then said: "Little lady just came back from outside, the pancake went to your house, and she also started to learn to draw recently, so in her spare time, I let her go and practice with Ye Zi."

Of course Tang Zhi knew about this, but Song Yuyan's explanation eased her embarrassment.

"Caiyuanzi hasn't been stolen recently, has it?" Song Yuyan asked again.

Tang Zhi shook her head, and suddenly remembered a happy event to share with Song Yuyan, and she immediately became lively: "Nowadays, not many thieves dare to steal vegetables from my vegetable garden. He transferred over, and if there is no problem with the exam, it will be done by the end of the year at the earliest."

Song Yuyan was slightly surprised. From the county government office to the government office, on the surface it was a change of place to be a subordinate, but in fact it was a promotion.

In the Tang Dynasty, subordinate staff had a promotion path of "flowing from outside to inside". That is to say, subordinate staff, like officials, started as low-level clerks. go up.Although it may take more than ten or twenty years from being a clerk to actually entering the officialdom, subordinate officials are also very popular.

Although the policy of the Zhou Dynasty did not have the official statement of "flowing from outside to inside", in fact there is still a lot of room for maneuvering.Because of the policy of the Zhou Dynasty, even ordinary people, as long as they have Zhuo Lue's contribution, they can be awarded officials. Although they are the lowest rank nine sesame officials, their promotion path is not like that of a scholar, but the ninth rank sesame officials are also officials. !

Of course, Tang Haogen's "promotion" is still a long way from becoming an official, but being a clerk in the government office is much better than being a clerk in the county office.

Under normal circumstances, promotion will give priority to those clerks with older qualifications. Tang Haogen has only been in the county government for three years, which is far from enough for promotion.So there must be someone who intends to support... Song Yuyan thought of Liu Chuo.

Since the last time Liu Chuo canceled the policy of recruiting civilians to dredge the two lakes, he has been committed to helping the people affected by the disaster. First, he organized the rich households in Mingzhou to contribute money and efforts, and then led the officials under him to visit the people affected by the disaster. He was also busy supervising Inspecting post-disaster reconstruction work...

Each of these measures did not involve the interests of those tyrants, so the implementation was unimpeded.

Liu Chuo also really felt the threat of the powerful local forces, and had already infiltrated the Yamen.He lamented that if he wanted to implement the decree smoothly, he still had to have his own people by his side.

He only brought his wife and children and two servants with him when he took office, and the servants only took care of the life of the Liu family and could not help him with the affairs of the yamen. Even a subordinate employee of the yamen was a native of Mingzhou. He also couldn't tell which subordinate was the powerful eyeliner.

For this reason, he urgently wanted to arrange some of his own people by his side, and he thought of a very suitable candidate - Tang Haogen.

Tang Haogen once reminded him to be careful of the powerful landlords in Mingzhou, so he was definitely not on the side of the powerful landlords.In addition, he has no father and no mother, and the family can't become a big climate, can't threaten him, and he won't have any worries when he uses Tang Haogen.

Now the development of history has deviated a lot from the memory of the original owner, so Song Yuyan can't be sure about the future direction - if Tang Haogen follows Liu Chuo, things are done, and Liu Chuo's political achievements are good, his status will naturally be higher; Like Liu Chuo failed in his previous life, Tang Haogen must be implicated.

Song Yuyan pondered for a moment, telling Tang Haogen not to stand in line with Liu Chuo would be impossible, and the best way to prevent Tang Haogen from being implicated is to let Liu Chuo win this battle...

Song Yuyan has no political ambitions, and she doesn't want to get caught up in these intrigues.However, she does not have a respected grandfather, nor a powerful father, nor a mother who is well-rounded, so there are some things that she did not have to experience and endure in the past, but now she has to face them personally.

"Things haven't reached such a difficult point yet, so don't think too much now." Song Yuyan said to herself.She temporarily forgot about these complicated mundane affairs, and followed Tang Zhi's words to congratulate her.

Tang Zhi suddenly said: "Once the elder brother is happy, he will definitely have a drink, so don't drink with him then."

Song Yuyan said: "I know, I know, my house is out of wine, and he won't be able to drink even when he comes."

Meng Shuituan gave her and the Tang family a lot of wine before. He said that the wine affairs have been strictly checked recently, and the batch of wine made by their family did not sell much, so they just gave it away.

And Tang Haogen didn't want his wine in vain. When Meng's family was accused by neighbors of brewing wine without permission, he went to Cixi's wine manager and said: "It's not a big deal for this farmer to brew wine by themselves, and they didn't sell it. , This matter gives them a hundred courage, and they will definitely not dare to hide it from you, will they?"

For this reason, he also took the supervisors of the lumber factory and the salt factory, and the supervisor of the liquor affairs to Goulan Washe to listen to the music all night.Although Cixi's wine affairs officer is not a big or small official, but after all, he is still working under the supervision of other people, so Tang Haogen naturally has to give Tang Haogen this face.

The Meng family was safe and sound, so the Meng family was even more grateful to Tang Haogen, and the wine was sent over as if they didn't need money.

With Tang Zhi, the family wine supervisor at home, Tang Haogen didn't dare to accept so much wine, so he gave them to those friendly supervisors one after another.He himself kept a few altars, and secretly hid two altars with Song Yuyan.

But he forgot that in this matter, Song Yuyan, the "future son-in-law who is restrained by his sister and dare not drink but actually wants to drink" in his eyes, is on the same front as Tang Zhi.So he was betrayed by Song Yuyan.

Tang Zhi took his wine and gave it to the neighbor, and Song Yuyan also gave the wine to Aunt Lie, so Tang Haogen couldn't find the wine with Song Yuyan at the moment.

"You have a very flexible brain!" Tang Zhi praised Song Yuyan.

Song Yuyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, his eyes fell on her hand, and he felt that the timing was just right, so he asked: "I've wanted to ask Miss Tang about something for a long time, but I was worried about being abrupt again, little lady... I don't know what's in your cloth bag, I saw you carrying it for a long time, is it something valuable, otherwise why would you carry it even when you sat down?"

Tang Zhi, who was still calm just now, panicked instantly, and she hurriedly said: "This is not some expensive knife, it's all worthless!"

Song Yuyan: "..."

How come there is a feeling of wanting to cover up?

Tang Zhi's heart was pounding, thumping, as if it was about to jump into her throat, she took out the cloth bag in a panic, and handed it to Song Yuyan: "Just, just for the sake of teaching Xiaoye so carefully, I just bought it!"

After finishing speaking, he threatened fiercely, "Don't be disgusted!"

Song Yuyan took the bag with a smile and took a look, and saw the carving knives inside, including oblique knives, flat knives, round knives and curved knives, each with two types of large and small, totaling eight.The blades of each carving knife are very sharp, and the handles are also fixed with wood, so she doesn't need to wrap the handles with cloth strips.

Although the set of engraving knives Tang Zhi gave was much less than that given by Lou Er, because the ones given by Lou Er have been divided into three types: large, medium and small. But Song Yuyan still fell in love with the carving knife given by Tang Zhi at a glance.

She knew that Tang Zhi definitely didn't buy it casually, because few people would use wood as a knife handle so meticulously at this time.Even for other hand carvers, the most common method is to wrap the handle of the knife with cloth like her, which saves trouble and at the same time ensures that the hands are not slippery.

However, the carving knives used by Song Yuyan in modern times are either made of plastic or have wooden handles, which are more comfortable to hold in the hand.She naturally prefers this wooden handle to the cloth-wrapped handle.

She could see that Tang Zhi carefully selected these knives for her.This is not the first time she has accepted Tang Zhi's love, but the feeling she feels now is very subtle, like a ray of spring breeze blowing across the lake, ripples ripple silently in her heart.

"I don't dislike it, on the contrary, I like it very much." Song Yuyan looked at these carving knives lovingly.

Tang Zhi's nervous heart, which had no place to rest, finally settled down with her smile, and she smiled too: "That's good!"

Just when she was relaxing, Song Yuyan suddenly asked: "But why can Miss Tang just buy this kind of carving knife?"

Tang Zhi: "..."

She was ashamed and annoyed, and finally became angry from embarrassment, and gave Song Yuyan a look: "I'm lucky!"

Song Yuyan let out an "oh", regretfully said: "I thought it was the little lady who specially asked someone to put a wooden handle on it!"

"How could I do such a boring thing!" Tang Zhi retorted.After speaking, she found an excuse and ran home.

Seeing her looking like she was running away, Song Yuyan smiled silently, she was really just a little girl, and she couldn't hide her thoughts at all.

Thinking of this, her smile narrowed slightly.After being complained by the system last time, she can be regarded as thinking of her character who disguised herself as a man, so Tang Zhi's change of attitude towards her made her a little uneasy. No one paid attention to her real gender.

After pondering for a moment, Song Yuyan smiled self-deprecatingly: "Affected by the system, I have also become narcissistic. What Miss Tang expressed to me is not necessarily love, maybe it is kindness!"

system:"……"

I'm not narcissistic, thank you!

After thinking about it, Song Yuyan tried the carving knife Tang Zhi sent, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he wrapped it in oiled paper and put it in the pen holder.Wrapping it in oiled paper is because she is worried that it will rust after a long time-the carving knife specially given by Mrs. Tang, of course she will not use it to carve ordinary bamboo carvings, so the frequency of use must not be too high.
