Chapter 13 The Library

The place where the female officials work is called the atrium. Xiao Zhiyun stepped into it for the first time, and after asking around, he came to the Division of Shangyi Bureau.

She is unfamiliar with this place.

But all the female officials here know her, as long as they see the green jade medal she wears, they will know who she is.

So when she came to Siji, Yan Siji had already come out to meet her.

The word must have spread the moment she stepped into the atrium.

Yan Siji looked young, he had round eyes and was very energetic, he was short but quick-witted.

"What a distinguished guest." Yan Siji smiled and pulled Xiao Zhiyun into the hall.

Xiao Zhiyun followed quietly, looking at everything in the hall.

The whole hall looks clean and has a bookish atmosphere, and there are palace maids sorting out books.

Seeing her watching, Yan Siji stopped and introduced: "Our Siji department is in charge of classics and books, writing and writing. There is a library at the back of the hall, which stores a lot of books."

Xiao Zhiyun nodded clearly, "Then what is your daily job?"

"Hey, don't call me my lord, we are all six-rank Siji, you can call me Shuyan." Yan Siji said carelessly, and then said, "I usually check the books in the library, what statistics are there? If it needs to be transcribed again, arrange for the female officer to burn the worn out book after transcribing it, and there are many other things.”

"I... is there anything I can do?" Xiao Zhiyun asked.

When she came to ancient times, she was very confused about ancient books and the like, and couldn't figure out what she could do, so she could only ask first.

Yan Siji said gently: "Why don't you try to manage the library? Slowly figure out the way here, and everything else will be easy to use."

"Okay." Xiao Zhiyun nodded and said, "Then please take me there."

Yan Siji pulled Xiao Zhiyun closer to him, "Why are you being polite? It's easier for me if you come, we are helping each other."

Xiao Zhiyun didn't know how to respond politely to Yan Siji, so he could only follow along with a smile.

The two walked out from the back door of the main hall and came to the library.

There is not one but three library buildings, each with three floors. The wonderful thing is that each floor is designed with a corridor, and the buildings are interconnected.

After Yan Siji took out the key to open the library, he led Xiao Zhiyun inside.

Inside the library, there are all bookshelves, and the shelves are full of books.

Yan Siji picked up a book on the bookshelf at the door, and said, "Xiao Siji, look at this book. It's very moldy. I'm afraid it won't work if it's dried in the sun. You need to write down the title of the book, and then distribute it to someone else." Ladies, let them transcribe."

As she said that, she picked up another book, "The ones like this are just damp, so write it down and arrange for the female officer to dry the books."

After Xiao Zhiyun wrote it down, he looked at the degree of mold and damp of the two books.

At this time, Yan Siji kindly reminded: "But you must remember not to lose the book, and the burned book must be registered."

After Xiao Zhiyun put the two books back in their original places, he thanked him and said, "I'll let you know, Mr. Yan."

Yan Siji didn't show any more politeness, but arranged for one person in charge of the classics and five female historians for Xiao Zhiyun.

He also left her the key to the library.

For things like memorizing things, Xiao Zhiyun only needs to say something, and there will be books and books to register.

Xiao Zhiyun came to the bookshelf that Yan Siji had checked halfway through, and continued to check. Wei Dianji was in charge of recording, and Luan Zhangji was in charge of sorting the books with problems and putting them on the shelf at the door.

In fact, this job is not difficult, Xiao Zhiyun got started very quickly, but the library was a bit shady, and it became cold after staying there for less than a moment.

After rubbing her arms, she continued to watch.

After checking a few more books, she retreated in her heart, forget about it today, and come back tomorrow when she wears thick clothes.

"Just see here." Xiao Zhiyun said lightly.

However, Wei Dianji was puzzled: "My lord, the people under us can't communicate with each other like this. Maybe no one of you will say something bad, but if we have nothing to do..."

Xiao Zhiyun took a deep breath, as if quitting after taking over would affect others.

I knew I wouldn't have taken over so early.

Who would have thought that the library would be cold after staying for a long time.

After thinking about it, she decided to persevere.

When she finished her work, she felt that she was already completely cold, and it was the kind of cold that slowly penetrated into her bones and made the temperature of her body disappear little by little.

When she returned to the female officer's residence, she felt the warmth of the room, her muscles began to swell, and her skin felt itchy.

After hearing about this, Wan Zhuang snorted coldly: "This Yan Siji is really good at arranging people."

"I didn't expect the library to be so cold, put on makeup, and see if there are any thicker clothes in the clothes that Princess Gaomi gave me." Xiao Zhiyun instructed.

The next day, after Xiao Zhiyun got everything ready, he fought against the library again.

With experience, Xiao Zhiyun worked like a fish in water for several days in a row, spending a few hours a day in front of the imperial court, and the remaining hours in the library.

Today, after she picked out the books, she stretched her waist.

"My lord, this is a book that needs to be transcribed. Please take a look." Wei Dianji handed over the booklet.

Xiao Zhiyun came to the shelf at the door, compared them and stamped them.

Then Luan Zhangji also came over, "These are transcribed books, these are going to be burned, the officials have finished checking, sir, please take a look again."

After Xiao Zhiyun compared it again, he stamped it.

Immediately afterwards, she stretched her waist again, this management of the library is really exhausting.

She decided to take Princess Gaomi to the restaurant to relax.

When passing by the main hall, she saw Yan Siji rummaging around, and yelled at other female officials to look for it together.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Zhiyun came over and asked in confusion.

"I lost the key to the library." Yan Siji said anxiously, and then instructed, "There are only two keys to the library, so you must keep yours."

Xiao Zhiyun took out her key and said, "Mine is here."

Only in this way did Yan Siji reassure himself: "That's good."

Then she asked again: "Look at Xiao Siji, is he going out?"

Xiao Zhiyun nodded and said: "Yes, I'm going to find Princess Gaomi to leave the palace."

Yan Siji nodded, and asked politely, "Is Xiao Siji coming back tonight?"

"Come back, otherwise you have to get up early to enter the palace tomorrow." Xiao Zhiyun said with a smile.

After the two of them said a few more words of politeness, Xiao Zhiyun stopped bothering Yan Siji and other female officials looking for keys.

After making an appointment with Princess Gaomi, he left the palace.

The two also drank a few glasses of wine and had a good time when they returned to the palace.

When passing by the West Corridor, Princess Gaomi noticed a silver light in the grass, and walked over to see that it was Yan Siji's lost library key.

Xiao Zhiyun thought that she could see Yan Siji, so she took the key away from Princess Gaomi.

When returning to the female officer's inner courtyard, she was afraid that Yan Siji would be in a hurry, so she wanted to send him there, but she didn't expect Yan Siji's room to be locked.

I don't know where I went so late.

So she had to keep it first and give it back the next day.

The next day, when she gave the key to Yan Siji, Yan Siji thanked her in every possible way.

And she said that she went to deliver the keys last night, and asked where Yan Siji had gone.

But Yan Siji could see the corners of his mouth twitching, and said with a slightly embarrassed smile: "I went to Chen Dianji's residence to chat with her."

Xiao Zhiyun nodded without asking further questions.
