While Pei Yuanchang was deeply analyzing the meaning of Pei Shu's words, Pei Shu walked out of the house under the long shadow of the setting sun.

I only took Chai Xin with me.

Guard and groom.

The carriage finally stopped at Yongji Hutong.

Looking from the entrance of the alley, there is a three-entry house in the middle. In front of the two red lacquered doors, there are lions carved on the doorstops, symbolizing that this is the residence of civil servants of a certain rank.

However, a courtyard like this is really inconspicuous in the Imperial Capital where aristocrats are everywhere.

As the last rays of the setting sun fade away, lamps are lit everywhere in the city. The dim yellow lights and fire shadows illuminate the buildings far and near. The streets are empty, and the sound of wheels is approaching.

"Sir Yan." Pei Shu called out to stop the driver who was returning late.

After a while, Yan Zhu got out of the carriage.

He was dressed in a dark official uniform, with clear outlines and sharp-cut sideburns. His eyes were clear and sharp, and the corners of his lips were pursed in a straight line. He was so quiet and cold that it was difficult to get close to him.

Yan Zhou, a doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was born in a Qingliu family and was an upright man.

If Xie Xian is said to be a man whose words and deeds are inconsistent with each other, he is truly a gentleman who is consistent in appearance and deeds.

Pei Shu stood there with soft eyebrows and soft eyes, smiling lightly, as tenderly as if she was melting the melting night.

Yan Zhu stared at the girl illuminated by the wind lantern and was silent for a long time: "The queen of Pei Mansion, one of the new prince's lecturers."

Pei Shu was a little surprised: "The official affairs of the company are heavy, but Mr. Yan actually remembers the encounter a few months ago."

There are four divisions under the Ministry of Personnel, which are responsible for the appointment, removal, inspection, promotion, and transfer of officials across the country.

The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the Ministry of Personnel Seal, which is headed by the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel, who is responsible for selecting expatriate officials.

If Pei Yuanchang wants to have no flaws in his official career, he must pass the Yan Marsh test.

Pei Shu explained her intention, and Yan Zhou frowned: "I'm sorry Yan Zhou has difficulty complying with your request."

Pei Shu's beautiful eyebrows curved into a crescent shape: "My request does not violate the rules and principles. Can Sir Yan make it easier?"

His eyes were sharp and he stared at Pei Shu sharply.

"Young lady is so good at exploiting side factions, why don't you directly ask for an edict from the Holy Spirit? Even if your subordinates have objections, they probably won't dare to follow it."

The sarcasm came to her face, but Pei Shu's expression remained gentle and showed no hint of embarrassment: "Master Yan, it's possible that he has some misunderstanding about me. I am definitely a sycophant who takes advantage of his power to oppress others."

"Master Yan is fair and strict in dealing with things. He is known for his "righteousness" and "straightforwardness". There are very few people like you in the turbulent officialdom. I am in awe of you. No matter how greedy you are, I will never make things difficult for you.

On the head."

In the dusk, he looked at her under the light with his hands behind his back,

"The second son of the Pei family did not enter the official position through the imperial examination, and it is particularly necessary to distinguish between the "clean" and "turbid", the "righteous path" and the "different path". The female monarch did not seek to be close, so she went to seek His Majesty's grace. Instead, she gave up the near and sought far away to find her own official. This is nothing more than

The reason is that his evaluation comments should be beautiful and his resume should be clean."

"The lady is so eloquent, and she has taken so much pains to use her reputation as an upright officer to plan a smooth promotion path for your second uncle, with the intention of pushing him to a height that others cannot reach in the shortest possible time.

."

At only seventeen years old, he knows how to plan ahead and take one step at a time.

Yan Zhu's eyes were sharp, with an almost cold scrutiny. He looked at the girl who always smiled lightly. It was foreseeable that there would be another person who would stir up trouble in the Imperial Capital.

He mercilessly uncovered the surface and revealed her true intention in one sentence. Pei Shu was speechless for a moment.

Yan Marsh said nothing, and walked past him with his clothes and stepped onto the stone steps.

This bone is really hard to chew! Pei Shu watched him walk away step by step, until the red lacquer door closed, cutting off the figure before turning around and walking back.

"Isn't the female monarch successful?" Chai Xin, who was several feet away, didn't know the content of the conversation between the two. He saw her looking at the other person's back and couldn't get enough of it, and boldly guessed that this person was probably the female monarch's new photo.

Just the goal.

Chai Xin admired the speed at which he changed his mind when he saw something different, but having said that, the female monarch had a good vision, and this one was much better than the charming bitch in Cainanyuan who seduced the master.

At least not the unsexed female queen who climbed over the wall in the rain.

Pei Shu picked up her skirt and got into the car, ignoring him.

Chai Xin scratched his head and said, "Ms. Jun, I've thought about it for a moment. Why don't I put a sack on him and beat him up tomorrow? How about you come to save the beauty in the meantime?"

This idea was so cool, Chai Xin felt that since he followed Nujun, his mind seemed to have become smarter.

Pei Shuyi glanced at him: "Thinking very well, don't think about it next time."

Chai Xin tasted her words, but he didn't understand.

"Go to Qiwan Lane in the outer city." Pei Shu ordered after getting in the car.

Chai Xin: "Nvjun, the curfew will be in less than an hour."

Pei Shu: "It doesn't matter. There are few vehicles and pedestrians on the road now. If you drive faster, you might be able to get back home before the curfew."

"Okay, sit tight then." Chai Xin thought about it. Their daughter dared to go out to climb over the wall in the middle of the night, and she had long regarded the curfew as nothing.

It's nothing to be late.

Pei Shu galloped to the outer city. Pei Shu was not affected by the bumps at all and said with a steady breath: "Wait outside."

It simply doesn't suit her noble and delicate identity.

Chai Xinxin muttered nervously and said: "There are crowds in the outer city, and Qiwan Lane is a notoriously dirty and poor alley. Why don't I ask my subordinates to accompany you in there?"

"You don't want the car?" Pei Shu said, "Wait."

Chai Xin nodded obediently: "Oh."

He has a simple mind but is obedient and doesn't talk too much, which is a good advantage.

In Qiwan Lane, he visited an old craftsman who was very good at making Liuxia lamps. Then he drove to Jiuling Lane a few blocks away and visited a steward who had been fired due to leg problems.

Coming out of Jiuling Alley, Pei Shu was holding a dirty young man in his teens.

Chai Xin asked urgently: "Nvjun, what's going on?"

Pei Shu grabbed the young man by the back of his neck and threw him onto the carriage shaft: "You are a thief who robbed me."

Hearing this, Chai Xin kicked him on the head and said, "Hey, the dog is quite timid!"

Pei Shu: "Don't cause trouble by arresting people. It won't be good if you become stupid tomorrow. This is the little apprentice I'm looking for for you."

"Ah?" Chai Xin was a little confused.

The dry young man stared at Chai Xin with his bared teeth, like a little wolfdog without all his teeth.

Pei Shu said calmly: "Take him back and give him a hard training. If he does anything slippery, I'll break his legs."
Chapter completed!
