Chapter 250 I want to be an official
"Replace the bamboo basket with something else?"

Qingzhu raised his head and looked at the place where the sound came from. The strippers stepped aside one after another. A young man with thin clothes appeared in front of Qingzhu's eyes, but the patches on his body were very neat, and the clothes were well washed.On the boy's feet, he was still wearing straw sandals, and his exposed toes were red from the cold.

Seeing Qing Zhu's eyes on him, the young man looked very cramped, his head was lowered, his body was very stiff, his hands were uneasy clenched and then loosened, loosened and clenched again.

This time, Princess Anle recruited all skilled old bamboo craftsmen. How could there be such a young boy?
Seeing Qingzhu staring at the young man, the old bamboo craftsman became nervous and moved his lips a few times before saying, "This kid's grandpa is the best bamboo craftsman in our ten miles and eight towns. His grandpa learned how to walk and know how to piece bamboo strips, and his craftsmanship is not bad.

As I said before, although Yizhou is Shangzhou and is close to Shangjing, because it is not a feudal land of a vassal king, and the mighty Marquis who guards it is very exploitative, so the life of Yizhou people is extremely hard.The master of Anle County recruited craftsmen, and he was given a lot of money, and he was provided with three meals a day, so for them, it was a rare and good job.

The old bamboo craftsman headed by this was afraid that Qingzhu would think that the young man was here to earn money, so he quickly explained.

Qing Zhu didn't answer the old bamboo craftsman, but just looked at the young man, smiled slightly, and asked, "You said earlier that you used something else to replace the bamboo basket. I wonder what you were talking about?"

Although the young man didn't raise his head, but listening to Qing Zhu's gentle words, he felt a little less cramped and nervous, and said timidly, "Go back to the female general, thirty miles to the west of this place, there is a Zhema mountain. There is a kind of wild vine growing on the mountain. The wild vine is very strong, especially after it has been soaked in tung oil and dried, it is difficult to cut with a knife, and its weight is lighter than bamboo strips. If you use that to weave rattan baskets, It should be able to meet the requirements of the female general and princess princess."

"Is this true?" Qing Zhu asked with his eyes lit up when he heard the young man's words.

"Yes." The boy nodded.

"How do you know?" Qingzhu's tone became more and more gentle, looking at the young man and asked softly.

"Yes, it's what my grandfather said." The young man raised his head, glanced at Qingzhu quickly, then lowered his head, and said in a low voice.

"Is your grandpa here too?" Qingzhu said, and glanced at the strip craftsmen in front of him.

"No." The young man lowered his head and his voice sounded very low. After a moment of silence, he choked up and added, "My grandfather fell off a cliff and broke his leg in order to cut that kind of wild mountain vine... There is no money, so Grandpa he... he... is gone."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked this." Hearing the boy's choked up voice, Qingzhu looked at the boy apologetically and said.

The young man shook his head and said, "No, Grandpa said, this is fate..."

After hearing the boy's words, Qingzhu's heart became more and more sour, and her voice became more and more gentle. She looked at the boy and asked again: "Then can you find the place where those wild vines grow?"

"Yes." The young man nodded, raised his head to look at Qingzhu, his eyes were red, and said, "I was the one who found Grandpa, so I know about that cliff."

Qingzhu looked at the boy and nodded, and said: "Okay, if you can lead us to find the kind of mountain vines you mentioned, and if the woven rattan baskets are really useful, I will ask the princess to be the master and give you money, fertile land, and return money." There is a house, what do you think is okay?"

After hearing Qingzhu's words, the surrounding bamboo craftsmen showed envious expressions on their faces.

Where do you know, the boy shook his head without thinking, and said, "Not good."

Hearing the young man's words, Qingzhu's face froze for a moment, but he didn't say anything immediately.

The strip craftsmen were all anxious when they heard the young man's words, for fear that he would offend the female general in front of him, they all gave him winks one by one, and the strip craftsman standing beside him secretly tugged at his skirt.

The leading old stripper was blinking almost cramp, and the young man just looked at the green bamboo and didn't change his words.

"Forgive the female general, this child grew up with his grandfather, and he didn't have a mother, so...in fact, what he meant was that doing things for the female general and the princess is his duty, and he doesn't ask for rewards." of."

After a while, Qingzhu shook his head, smiled at the old stripper, and said, "It's okay." Then he looked at the boy and asked, "Why not?"

The young man looked at Qingzhu, a flash of determination flashed across his face, and his tone of voice was as timid as before. He looked at Qingzhu and said, "I don't want money, nor fertile land, let alone a house..."

After hearing the young man's words, the strip craftsmen all breathed a sigh of relief, but hearing that he didn't want anything, they thought he was stupid, and kept blinking at him. The old strip craftsman in the lead laughed and said, "Just It is said that this child is sincere, but if the female general and the princess are really rewarded, this child will not accept it."

"Hey, I said, are you annoying, old man? Qingzhu was talking to that young man, why do you have nothing to interrupt? Didn't you see that the princess didn't say anything?" Seeing the leading old stripper again and again, again and again As for San's interjection, although Qingzhu didn't say anything, Princess Anle finally got impatient, flicked the whip, and rattled the air, looked at the leading old stripper, and said impatiently.

"Princess Princess, forgive me." The old stripper was frightened when he heard Princess Anle's words, and knelt on the ground with a plop, and said in his mouth.

Although Princess Anle was impatient, she didn't really mean to do anything to the old man, so she just frowned and said, "It's okay to ask the princess to forgive me, just shut up and stand aside, don't Always nagging, annoying."

"Yes, thank you, princess." The old stripper turned pale with fright, and no longer dared to speak for the young man, he scrambled to the side, squeezed his mouth tightly, and only stared at his feet, He never dared to look at the boy again, for fear of offending Princess Anle again.

When Princess Anle stopped talking, Qing Zhu looked at the boy again and asked, "Then what do you want?"

"I want to be an official." The boy looked at Qingzhu and said.

As soon as the young man's words came out, Qingzhu was stunned again, but she couldn't be the master of this, she just looked at Princess Anle with questioning eyes, and asked her what to do.

How do you know, Princess Anle gave her a look that you can figure out what to do, and then began to look around, looking absent-minded.

Qing Zhu helplessly shook her head slightly, then turned her head to look at the young man and said, "I can't decide whether or not to be an official. It’s not enough to be an official, at least, you have to have some other useful skills.”

"I know." The boy nodded, looked at Qingzhu and said, "I know how to weave armor."
