Uncle Guo, your heart thief has been promoted again

Chapter 186 Success
Jiang Baoyu followed out with a frown.

The speed of the black shadow is not very fast, it seems that it intends to lure Jiang Baoyu to a certain place, and finally stops in the bamboo forest near Mugui's small courtyard.

"Dark Bamboo?"

Jiang Baoyu frowned, looked left and right, saw that there was no sign of Shui Hanzhou, and then asked in puzzlement: "It's so late, why are you here?"

Anzhu spoke succinctly, and handed Jiang Baoyu a post-it note: "My son asked me to give it to you. The little palace lady named Zhong Qing has a problem, and my son said that if you need it, we can help."

Jiang Baoyu took the post-it, unfolded it, and saw Zhong Qing's recent actions recorded on it, except what she saw on the rockery today, and some more unexpected contacts.

Although pulling out each matter individually does not allow people to see what it has to do with her, but if all the things are put together, it is not difficult to see Zhong Qing's intentions.

Jiang Baoyu slightly hooked his lips, and bowed back to An Zhu: "Thank you for your hard work, please thank my son for me, but I will take care of Zhong Qing's affairs, and please don't interfere with me, just concentrate on doing your own thing." it is good."

An Zhu didn't like Shui Hanzhou meddling in Jiang Baoyu's affairs, and now he heard Jiang Baoyu say that they don't need to intervene, so he was happy to be at leisure.

After fist-fighting salute with Jiang Baoyu, he turned and wanted to leave, but Jiang Baoyu called him to stop.

"If your family is still worried about the failure of weapon development, you can go to Yongfu Bo's mansion to find my father, and maybe you can get a chance."

Jiang Baoyu's small abacus crackled.

If she gave Shui Hanzhou the blueprint of the cannon directly, she would be ashamed to take money, but if Bo Yongfu came to deal with it, she could kill Shui Hanzhou ruthlessly.

After all, it's all the emperor's money, so if you don't make money, you don't make money.

"Who said my family failed to develop weapons?"

An Zhu looked puzzled and even dissatisfied.

"Didn't it fail?"

Jiang Baoyu was also shocked, and subconsciously said: "Didn't it explode? I heard that the entire weapons workshop was blown up. Isn't this considered a failure?"

An Zhu only thought her words were ridiculous, but anyway, the Shui Hanzhou had already silenced those gossiping ministers in the court today, so it was no secret.

"It was successful because it exploded. After all, the weapon developed by my family is black powder."

"Black powder?"

Jiang Baoyu frowned, she traveled with her father since she was a child, she also heard that some warlocks would use gunpowder into the alchemy furnace to practice medicine, but she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.

I didn't even think about using this thing as a weapon.

But since Shui Hanzhou thought of it, this thing should be very powerful.

But as far as she knew, the material used to make black powder was not stone lacquer.

"So what the son brought back from Guangling wasn't stone lacquer?"

"Stone paint?"

Anzhu thought that Shui Hanzhou did not disclose all the information to the emperor in order to keep it secret, so he smiled and said: "There is indeed stone lacquer, but there are other things besides stone lacquer."

Speaking of this, Anzhu suddenly realized that he had revealed too much information with Jiang Baoyu unknowingly, and couldn't help looking at Jiang Baoyu's face in surprise.

He is not such a person who can't hide things, how could he be so outspoken in front of this woman?

Could it be that she still has some tricks to deceive people?

He felt startled when he thought about it, so he didn't wait any longer, greeted Jiang Baoyu hastily, and flew away.

Jiang Baoyu returned to the hut with his mouth pouting.

She said that Shui Hanzhou had a smart mind and would not be trapped to death by a small problem.

Instead of worrying about him, it's better to think about the matter in front of him, and study carefully how to make that malicious Zhong Qing shoot himself in the foot.

Time flies, and the day of the female officer exam is approaching.

As early as three days ago, the little maids who were going to take the female officer exam had already selected by lottery the assistant little maid who would help them in the practical exam.

Not surprisingly, Jiang Baoyu drew Zhong Qing.

It's just that in addition to Zhong Qing spending a lot of money in various ways, Jiang Baoyu also contributed a little bit.

At this moment, Jiang Baoyu was standing in front of the examination room for the female officer examination, thinking about the scene when the lottery was drawn three days ago.

At the beginning, for the sake of fairness, the lottery was drawn in a way that candidates and assistant maids each used a lottery tube, and the lottery officer called people in to draw lots separately. Finally, the maids and assistants with the same number plate automatically formed a group.

As the last little maid to draw lots, Jiang Baoyu's lottery was given to her directly by the lottery officer.

There is a word Wu written on it impressively, which means the number plate Wu.

The signing officer saw Jiang Baoyu took the number plate, as if something had dropped on the ground, and a smile suddenly appeared on his tense face.

"Go out as soon as you get the number plate, and find the assistant lady with the same number plate as you. There are only three days left before the exam. The running-in between the two is also very important for candidates."

As the signing officer said, he also started to pack his things, ready to find a place to drink tea.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Baoyu didn't leave after taking the number plate, but raised his eyebrows and said: "The assistant little maid holding the number plate Wu, shouldn't it be Zhong Qing?"

The signing officer is dispatched by the Shangyi Bureau, and it is reasonable to not recognize a young maid who has just entered the palace from the Royal Shangfu Bureau.

But it was probably the first time to do this kind of thing, so nervous, the signing officer stopped for a while, turned around and looked at Jiang Baoyu with displeasure, and said, "What does the examinee mean? The official is not a member of the Imperial Service Bureau, this is also the first time to come to the Imperial Service Bureau, how do you know who is the assistant little palace lady who took the No. [-] plate?"

"My lord's words are ridiculous. I was called in by your name just now. After the lottery, you will also record it by name. How can you not know who is the person who took the No. [-] plate?"

Jiang Baoyu walked around in front of the signing officer with the No. [-] plate, smiling all over his face, but it always made the signing officer feel creepy.

I saw Jiang Baoyu playing with the number plate in his hand and smiling sweetly at the signing officer.

"However, your lord is right, you are not familiar with the people in the Imperial Service Bureau, so you may have forgotten it for a while.

It's just that the little girl doesn't know one thing. Dare I ask the adults to ask people to come in and draw lots, how is the order determined? "

The signer was guilty for a moment, and when Jiang Baoyu suddenly mentioned Zhong Qing's name, he was a little caught off guard and became nervous. Now that he has recovered his mind, he will not be afraid of Jiang Baoyu, a mere little palace lady.

So he replied confidently: "I read it according to the list given by the Imperial Bureau of Shangfu!"

"That's strange! As Mu Shangfu's apprentice, the young girl is ranked first in everything except Sister Feiyan in the Royal Shangfu Bureau. Why is the young girl ranked last in the list this time? "

Jiang Baoyu said, thinking about something: "If I remember correctly, Zhong Qing, who has only been in the palace for three months, is the first one to go in to draw lots."

The signing officer frowned, knowing that the girl in front of him should not be so easy to fool, so he wanted to use force to suppress her.

"What's so strange about this? In order to prevent suspicion of cheating, I deliberately messed up the order, so I can't call it casually? I have important things to do, so I advise you not to make trouble here!"
