minister on skirt

Chapter 55

"Actually, General Su and I are only friends of my father's generation, and I don't like to disregard public and private affairs, so in the government office, in my opinion, she is no different from other female generals." He said while supporting the wooden railing in front of him. .

He continued: "My father was away from home for many years, and later we both lived in Jinling with the Su family, so the two family members often moved around during that time, and I was able to get to know her."

Changying didn't expect that he would chat with her about homework, so she raised her head.

"So don't misunderstand me, so as not to affect the errand." Xu Lan turned to look at her beside her.Then he smiled and straightened up: "Let's go, it's getting late."

Seeing this scene, Su Xinrong from behind could see blood dripping from her eyes.

Huo Rong, who was still standing with the tea bowl in his hand, watched the two people's gazes meet, and there was a flash of thunderbolt, so he couldn't help but put the bowl down.

The sound of the bottom of the bowl hitting the slate woke up Su Xinrong who was gnashing her teeth.

Su Xinrong was a little confused, and pulled the corner of her mouth: "What's wrong with General Huo?"

"It's too hot, hot eyes."

A slanting sun pierced from behind the clouds, shining golden light, isn't it hot eyes?

……

When Chang Ying returned to the original place, Huo Rong had already chatted with the boat masters for a round, and due to errands, they each dispersed.

There were nine boats, and when they arrived at the wharf, the timber had almost been unloaded, and someone had to count the number. Chang Ying asked Huang Ji and Zhou Liang to follow, and dragged a small horse over by himself, holding a pen and ink to file the count at the timber side.

Things are free, enough for her to take some errands.

As far as she knew, the Song family was a farming and studying family, a prominent family in Huzhou, with a large family. Song Cheng's grandfather used to serve as the official in the Department of Pedestrians, and he was a veritable minister of the emperor.

Of course, once the emperor and the courtiers, the Song family is not as powerful in the court as it used to be, but Song Tong, who is a university scholar, still has a lot of prestige among scholars.

In the previous life, after Song Yi resigned from office, the whole Song family kept a low profile. Before Changying died, none of the children took part in the imperial examination again, presumably because they were chilled by the court situation.

Changying has never met Song Cheng before, but due to errands, he occasionally interacted with the Song family a few times, so he forgot what the current situation of the Song family is like?
While holding her chin in a daze, one hand suddenly withdrew the pen from her hand, leaving a striking ink mark on her tiger's mouth.

Su Xinrong stood in front of her, twirling her pen around her fingertips, looking down at her from above: "General Shen is on duty?"

This is not the first time Changying has offended her today. Seeing this, she slapped down the account book and stood up: "What advice does General Su have?"

Su Xinrong was no shorter than her, but she also shuddered because of her sudden standing up.

She threw down the pen and said with a serious face: "Shen Changying, I can't see that you are such a person. You pretend to be innocent in front of Brother Lan and the others, but you show your ugly face behind your back. You are a scheming person." Why is it so deep?"

Changying laughed: "It would be better to be deeper than you are so superficial."

Su Xinrong sneered, and glanced at her: "In terms of sharp teeth, no one can compare to you."

Changying was too lazy to talk to her, so she took another note and counted: "If you have nothing to do, withdraw it for me, I don't have time to waste on you."

Su Xinrong gritted her teeth and threw over a list: "This is from the warehouse, don't blame me for not reminding you, take a closer look!"

There is a stamp of the warehouse on the list, which is a document for approval of materials.Changying picked it up and looked at it for a few times, only to see that there were several ticks on the item of wood.The receipt of materials at the wharf has to go through several inspections, such as wood, not only the quantity of Changying, but also a preliminary inspection. Broken and severely bent materials are not acceptable.

But all the items checked above should not appear in the wood that is sent to the warehouse.

How is this possible?She obviously checked them all.

Chang Yingfang raised her head, Su Xinrong suddenly pulled back the list, and walked away with a sullen face.

This is no small matter.Changying got up and greeted the people from the Water Transportation Department, and then went to the warehouse.

In the middle of the journey, she suddenly stopped again. No, since she was sure that there was no problem with the wood in her hands, then she could only leave her place and go to the warehouse. Isn't she responsible for the transportation? ?
She thought about it for a while, then turned around and walked back along a remote path between the logs.

I saw that in the place where the discarded wood was piled up, now a few craftsmen put ropes on both ends of the wood.

The person who lifted the wood moved quickly and neatly, and quickly replaced four or five pieces of good wood with bad wood, and carried the good wood out.

The timber in the dock is guarded by officers and soldiers, and these people must have a formal pass.But how come it's such a coincidence that after Su Xinrong came to show her the list, someone came to carry her wood?
Is she going to play dirty with her?
Putting his tassel back against the wood, he thought about it and frowned.

"Let's go! Stop dawdling!"

There was another sound behind them, and the men began to walk away carrying the wood.

She restrained her expression, followed them quietly, and left the lumberyard.

Su Xinrong sat in the warehouse, and handed a handkerchief to Xu Lan who had just finished counting the paint materials: "I haven't had dinner yet, is Brother Lan hungry? I'll ask the chef to cook a bowl of noodles for you?"

"I'm not hungry." Xu Lan wiped his sweat with bare hands, sat down and shook his fan, and looked at the accounts again.

Su Xinrong was coldly rejected, stood for a while, and walked over: "Are you angry because of what I said about Changying earlier?"

Xu Lan turned to look at her, then turned over the account.

"I didn't mean to target her. She came from a small family and didn't care about etiquette. No matter how high she climbed, she couldn't get on the stage. I did it for her own good.

"It's okay for her to mock me. If it offends someone like General Huo... Besides, I didn't say anything hurtful." She said earnestly.

"It's not wrong to be a small family, why do you always insist on this?" Xu Lan raised her head, "A person with a good family background may not be worthy of respect.

"This is a dispute between you and your colleagues. I'm just your boss. As long as it doesn't affect the business, you don't have to explain so much to me.

"Also, remember to call me General Xu when you're on business."

Su Xinrong bit her lower lip, gradually getting air from the bottom of her heart.

"I see." She gritted her teeth.

Xu Lan looked at her with an awkward expression in front of her, and then thought about Changying's straightforwardness before, and said, "I don't think Changying has any evil intentions, why don't you try to be friends with her? You can learn from being with excellent people. to many things."

Su Xinrong simply laughed angrily.

He blatantly helped Shen Changying without saying anything, and even boasted that Shen Changying was better than her?

Is Shen Changying really that good?

But she gritted her teeth, calmed down and said, "I'll just listen to you."

Xu Lan secretly felt that she might be a little harsh, so she calmed down, nodded at her, and went out with the account.

　Sorry, it's later.
