Ministers made me a male queen

Jiao Yun immediately cupped his hands and bowed his hands, with a dignified look: "It's your lord!"

Master Hou's meaning is also simple, that small wooden sign will be his pass in Changyang County from now on, but it cannot be used elsewhere.

Jiao Yun was very satisfied, and stayed with Tao Yuzuo in the county government for three or two years. After that, no matter how outstanding he was in his work, he would not be suspected.

Jiao Yun didn't stay longer in the county government office. This test was just going through the motions from the beginning until Master Hou gave it more than an hour to end. Because of the long delay, Master Hou hurriedly went to the back hall to change clothes and leave the county government office for errands.

Tao Yuzuo would also go with him, but he had to send him out of the Yamen safe and sound.

Wanniang and Nie Baichang had been waiting anxiously, staring straight at the door. At first, they could see clearly but not hear them, but they were anxious enough. Later, the yamen servants blocked most of the door.

One big and one small were in a hurry, but they didn't dare to go in and disturb them.

Finally, when his hands and feet were numb, he saw Tao Yuzuo bring Jiao Yun out.

The two of Wanniang were uncertain.

Tao Wuzuo was probably too excited, but now his face was a little dull: Brother Yun is more talented than he imagined, but now he has become his apprentice, it is like a dream.

For a moment, Tao Yuzuo could only care about bending over and holding Jiao Yun outside, but there was no expression on his face.

Wanniang waited for the two to approach, her heart skipped a beat. Mr. Tao's expression...has it happened?

Wanniang showed a cautious smile, afraid of irritating Jiao Yun, she squatted down, "Brother Yun is not afraid, but it's nothing, try again in a few years, it won't be sad."

Jiao Yun walked up to Wanniang with a sullen little face. Hearing this, he pursed his lips, which made Wanniang feel even more distressed. Just as he was about to say words of persuasion, he saw the child who had been languid for a moment suddenly grinned and showed a big smile. Smile: "Mom, I will have a master in the future!"

Tao Yuzuo was still in a trance and didn't pay much attention to it. Jiao Yun said with confidence, he came back to his senses and heard: "Yes! From now on we will be master and apprentice, Mrs. Jiao, I am afraid that Brother Yun will be handed over to me in the future gone."

Wanniang was taken aback by the ups and downs of emotions: "Ah?" Did she hear wrong just now?pass?Then... Her brother Yun will be Mr. Tao's apprentice in the future?

When she got Jiao Yun's affirmative gaze, Wanniang couldn't hold back her eye circles turned red instantly, and she turned her head quickly.

Jiao Yun hurriedly coaxed: "Don't, mother, what a good thing, this is the gate of the yamen, if you still think it's something wrong, let's go back first, Mr. Tao still has to do errands."

Wanniang touched her eyes: "Yes, yes, yes, don't delay Mr. Tao's affairs."

Tao Yuzuo sent the man to Wanniang's hands, but he didn't dare to stay too long, letting their mothers enjoy themselves.

Wanniang was afraid of delaying the yamen's errands, so she hurried out of the yamen's gate with the two little ones, even the vendors who passed by curiously looked at them and ignored them, until she returned to the booth, she felt that the soles of her feet that had been stepping on the cotton had fallen to the ground. .

Her brother Yun...he's about to make a fortune.

But Jiao Yun went to wash his hands again, and when he came out, he looked at Nie Baichang, who had been stunned and silent, stepped forward and put his arms around his neck, and lowered his voice: "Why? Are you unhappy?"

"Why, how could it be?" Nie Baichang asked anxiously, fearing that Jiao Yun might misunderstand.

When she tilted her head to meet Jiao Yun's smiling eyes, she pursed her lips and blushed slightly, "I just haven't recovered yet, and I always feel that it doesn't seem real."

Brother Yun really did it, he became Mr. Tao's apprentice, and he has a bright future in the future, but he hasn't started what he promised Brother Yun.

In the future, he will be an official and have to take a test of merit so that he can protect Brother Yun and Aunt Wanniang, but he...

He was anxious and panicked, afraid that if he couldn't reach it, would Brother Yun be disappointed?

Jiao Yun knew what he was thinking at a glance, "Look at you, you are under so much pressure before you enter the academy, Nie Xiaobai, you have to know that you are only a little older now, even if you have been studying for ten years, you are only sixteen. What's the rush?"

Jiao Yun snorted Nie Baichang's head, and began to talk about how nervous he was in the courtroom and how scary the corpse was. His hands were shaking at the time, and his hands were stiff when he poked the corpse, and he still hasn't recovered!

Jiao Yun was exaggerating naturally, he wanted to use this effect to make Nie Xiaobai relax, but after speaking, he found Nie Xiaobai's face was sullen and his eyes were red, so he began to pinch his hands seriously.

Jiao Yun: Why does he always feel...that he is bullying others?Cough, this must be an illusion.

Wanniang didn't recover from this ecstasy until the next day, so what should Jiao Yun do?

The small wooden sign is still a few days away, Master Hou gave him a few days to deal with family matters, and it just so happens that Nie Baichang will also be sent to the academy in these few days.

He and Nie Bochang wrapped the wooden barrel with cotton according to the usual habit, but heard the sound of food being fried in the oil pan again from the kitchen. Jiao Yun and Nie Baichang squatted there and looked at each other, "No Have you eaten breakfast?" Why is Mother cooking again?

The two little ones leaned over and took a look, good guy, during their delay, Wanniang has already fried a plate of fried pork with some marinated ingredients, so the aroma is pervasive, but it is different from the stewed alone, it is more fragrant It also makes people more hungry.Jiao Yun touched his stomach, he found that he was full and hungry again.

Wanniang didn't notice the two little ones, and quickly cooked two more dishes, plus the one just now, two meat and one vegetable, both of which had a unique color and taste, just smelling that smell, the kid next door didn't want to cry yet, Jiao Yun was hungry first.

"Mom, what are you doing here?" Jiao Yun took Nie Xiaobai to rub against him.

Wanniang was taken aback, seeing that they were still busy, "Let's have something else at noon."

Although braised pork rice is delicious, but if she eats too much, she is afraid that the child will get bored of it, not to mention that there is another reason.Her elder brother Yun became Mr. Tao's apprentice, and Mr. Tao didn't accept a thank you gift. She could only use this to express her gratitude. Of course, she also kept a little selfishness. .

The child has been by her side since she was a child, but she suddenly has to be away from her side often. Although she comes back at night, her heart... always feels empty.

Thinking about it, Wanniang's eyes were a little red, but fortunately the stove was steaming, so she regained her composure and took out the three wooden boxes that she had prepared overnight.

It’s similar to a wooden barrel, but it’s much smaller, and it’s covered with many layers of cotton. In addition, it’s getting hot in April. If it’s cold at noon, you can borrow the pot from the steamed bun vendor next door to steam it.

Because her stewed pork can be served with steamed buns and other things, the business of the surrounding vendors has also improved, and they are very enthusiastic about them.

Jiao Yun didn't expect Wanniang to know how to order without ordering, but she could think of marinated ingredients and stir-fry vegetables.

Usually because Wanniang got up early, he didn't want her to be tired, and he didn't mention the change of taste, but since Wanniang changed, he naturally didn't mind.

It's just that the amount of food... seems a bit much.

Wanniang saw his doubts: "In a few years, you will learn crafts from Mr. Tao, respect Mr., don't mess around, and be filial from time to time."

Jiao Yun:? ?No...is that what he thinks?Let him deliver food to Tao Wuzuo?

Jiao Yun thought that Tao Wu would definitely come for the stewed pork, but he silently agreed to Shang Wanniang's serious expression.

Forget it, one day is a teacher and a life is a father, filial piety is filial piety.

It was Tao Wuzuo's first time accepting apprentices, and he was so excited that he stayed up all night. He got up early the next day and followed Master Hou and the others for a whole morning, and he didn't come back until more than an hour after noon, he sighed.

The acquainted yamen servant next to him was also tired, but he was used to being noisy and teased: "Yo, you just sighed when you accepted such a transparent and savvy apprentice?"

Tao Yuzuo took a deep look at him: "You don't understand." If it was half an hour late at ordinary times, maybe Brother Yun would have kept it for him, but at this moment, it might have been sold out for more than half an hour. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat the delicious stewed pork rice.

In the past, when he was busy, he felt that no matter how busy he was, he couldn't get enough, but since he ate the Jiao's meal, he felt that this meal was his daily motivation.

As a result... I couldn't eat it today.

Another yamen servant bumped into the one who said, "Haha, don't ask, Mr. Tao is so sad that he didn't get to eat Jiao's braised pork rice."

"Huh, it's really so delicious?" They had heard about it a long time ago, but after hearing Mr. Tao say that a meal costs twenty or thirty yuan, they silently ate the food delivered by home.

Just kidding, a meal of [-] or [-] yuan, isn't it all meat, the family will cook a meal every few days, they are not greedy!

Tao Yuzuo hung his head with the box on his back, but when he was about to reach the yamen, the yamen servant next to him suddenly bumped him, "Mr. Tao, your little apprentice is here! Haha!"

"Huh? Brother Yun?" Tao Wuzuo raised his head, and sure enough, he saw Jiao Yun obediently standing at the door with a small bundle not far away. His little head looked this way from time to time, and when he saw him, he waved his hand suddenly.Tao Wuzuo's eyes gleamed, and he walked a few steps quickly, "Why are you here now?"

Jiao Yun picked up the tightly packed things: "Mr. didn't come over at noon, so I'll deliver the meal to him." After finishing speaking, he spread his small hands, "Well, it's the old rule, 29 liters." Twenty liters a share Meat, Liuwen rice, a braised egg.

This is always the case with Tao Wuzuo, but he basically eats two servings. Wanniang meant at first that she would not accept copper coins, but Jiao Yun shook her head. receive.

But today he has a lot of food, so he will accept it according to the price of one share. Tao Zuo guessed that he would not refuse if he didn't know the situation.

The yamen servants just came over and heard this sentence, they were amused, and teased Jiao Yun: "Your master's money is also accepted?"

Jiao Yun smiled: "I am me, my mother is my mother, mother also needs capital to do business, right sir?"

Tao Wuzuo also smiled, "Naturally." If he didn't charge for it, he would be ashamed to eat it.

Jiao Yun handed the burden to Tao Wuzuo, took the 29 Wen coins Tao Wuzuo gave him, and ran away.

Tao Wuzuo reminded while carrying it: "Slow down."

Jiao Yun didn't look back, and waved his hands, if it wasn't for his mother to buy new clothes for him and Nie Xiaobai, he really wanted to see Tao Wuzuo's shocked face when he saw the food, it was fun to think about it.

Tao Yuzuo shook his head helplessly: Sure enough, he is still a child, and his temper is not stable at all.

He went in with his bag, and the other yamen servants, who had never seen braised pork rice, surrounded him tremblingly, "Hurry up, Mr. Tao, let us see how delicious it really is, and it makes you run to the braised pork stall every day. "

"Go, go!" Tao Wu cursed with a smile, but he didn't really rush. When he got to the stone table next to him, he opened the outer package, and found that the inside was a wooden box wrapped in cotton, which was still a bit hot to the touch. When he took out the wooden box, his hands were so hot that he shivered, and when the wooden box was taken out, he wondered why the weight seemed a bit heavy?

I don't know when there are several yamen servants around, all staring at him eagerly.

Tao Wu made a low cough, restraining the excitement of wanting to eat, and slowly opened the wooden box, but the moment he opened it, he saw the food inside, his eyes widened quickly, and the next moment, he closed them with a snap!

But even so, the aroma that makes people want to swallow their tongues permeates and lingers for a long time, making the officials who were originally joining in the fun dumbfounded: good, good smell!I want to eat!

So, a group of yamen servants stared at Tao Yuzuo with their green eyes like wolves who had been hungry for a long time, and spread their hands to reveal the five copper coins in their palms: "Hey, Mr. Tao, how about... How many mouthfuls?"

The rest saw their eyes glowing, and followed suit one after another. They immediately took out their pockets, and all of them had flattering smiles on their faces: "Mr. Tao~"

Tao Wuzuo looked at this and that, and finally landed on the row of copper plates in front of him. He could still smell the aroma of food in his breath, and suddenly shouted to one side: "Brother Yun, you are sending food again. coming?"

A few yamen servants quickly turned their heads to look at the door when they heard that they were eating.

Tao Wuzuo seized the opportunity and quickly ran away with the food in his arms.

Yamen servants holding five copper coins: "..."
