Chapter 11 Arriving in Chang'an and heading to the Ministry of Industry
"Hmm? You all listen to me?"
Changle nodded.
"In that case..."
Qin Wenyuan rubbed his chin with his right fingers and said seriously: "Then you and I, husband and wife, let's go this afternoon to Chang'an."
"Go... go to Chang'an?" Changle was slightly stunned.
As soon as Chang'an was mentioned, those extremely painful memories once again came to her mind.
Qin Wenyuan seemed to have sensed something and blamed himself, "Madam, I'm sorry, it's my husband's fault."
"You just broke up with your family in Chang'an, so you really shouldn't set foot in a sad place again, but I have to go on this trip to Chang'an."
"Because only in the Ministry of Works, which gathers all the outstanding craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty, will they truly realize how amazing the Luban Lock is."
"They are the only ones who are more passionate about craftsmen than silver, so... I must go."
"How about this, Madam? You stay home for a while. If you feel bored, go find Uncle Luo. Uncle Luo is very enthusiastic and will answer all your questions. You can go shopping wherever you want."
After the words fell, Changle was silent for a long time.
Her breathing was a little rapid, and she seemed to be struggling with her conscience.
After a long while, she shook her head and said, "No, husband, I want to go with you."
"There's no way to avoid this hurdle. Baiyun County is so close to Chang'an, and I have to face it anyway."
Forehead!
Qin Wenyuan was slightly stunned.
He discovered that his wife was really strong.
He chuckled, stepped forward and gently hugged Changle's slender waist, put his hands together, and sniffed the unusually pleasant fragrance of her hair, "Thank you for your help, ma'am."
"No……"
"Gurgle!"
Changle was about to speak when he was interrupted by the protest of his stomach.
"Gulu, gurgle..."
Her face turned red instantly.
Compared to his wife's shyness, Qin Wenyuan burst out laughing.
"Haha, ma'am! My bad, my bad!"
"I was so busy talking about things that I forgot you haven't eaten for almost a day. Come on, it's time for us to eat. We can discuss the details later."
Changle buried her little head in Qin Wenyuan's arms, lowered her head and said shyly: "Yeah."
…
After they finished eating, they began to pack their clothes and set off for Chang'an.
With a creak, Qin Wenyuan opened the door and saw Uncle Luo still carrying a hoe at the door.
Judging from his appearance, he probably just came back from working in the fields.
"Hey, Qin boy, are you going out?"
Qin Wenyuan took Changle's hand and gestured slightly, and the two of them smiled and nodded.
"Uncle Luo, I'm just about to take my wife to Chang'an to see if there is any work to be done." Qin Wenyuan said with a smile.
Uncle Luo stepped forward and glanced at Changle.
Changle saluted with both hands and bowed slightly, "Hello, Mr. Luo, my husband, thank you for your care."
"Oh, no trouble, no trouble."
Grandpa Luo spread his hands and continued, "Girl, you shed so many tears this morning, but you didn't scare me and my wife. Now you look rosy, it seems that Qin kid has coaxed you."
Forehead?
What does it mean to coax someone?
My wife is so smart, does she still need me to coax her?
I am really speechless.
Qin Wenyuan was a little embarrassed.
But Changle didn't think so.
She looked at Qin Wenyuan tenderly, "Yes, if it weren't for my husband, I really don't know what I would do."
Qin Wenyuan: ...
Madam, madam, why are you suddenly so sentimental?
Qin Wenyuan felt even more embarrassed.
And Uncle Luo standing by was even more embarrassed!
God have pity on him, he just came over to say hello, how come he encountered such a way of showing off his love?
This is totally wrong!
"Ahem, it's okay, it's okay."
Grandpa Luo coughed twice and said, " Just take care of yourselves. If you have any problems, please let me know. My wife, I, and the villagers will do our best to help if we can."
After saying this, he fled away without waiting for Qin Wenyuan and his wife to reply.
"Husband, this... did I say something wrong?" Changle was a little confused.
Qin Wenyuan shook his head. "No, I don't think so. Based on my understanding, I think it's because Mr. Luo is too shy."
"Let's ignore this for now and set off quickly. It's getting late. We probably have to stay in Chang'an for another night."
"Um."
And just like that, Qin Wenyuan and Changle set off again.
The two of them walked hand in hand along the way, looking very harmonious.
People passing by would marvel at their companions and comment, what a great couple, a match made in heaven!
…
Chang'an.
It was noon, but the sun was not too hot today, but rather a little warm.
"Tang Haws for sale! Tang Haws for sale! Freshly baked Tang Haws!"
"Don't miss it if you pass by it, a huge stone is coming to break your chest!"
"Hey, I'll hide here so Erwazi can't find me."
Chang'an is still as lively as ever.
Qin Wenyuan took a special look at the candied haws and asked, "Madam, do you want to..."
"don't want."
Changle was careful and saw through Qin Wenyuan's thoughts at a glance. She curled her lips and said, "Husband, I don't want anything. Let's deal with the business first."
Qin Wenyuan smiled helplessly, "Okay then, as for the Ministry of Works, I remember that the Ministry of Works has been recruiting temporary servants. Let's go and take a look."
After saying that, Qin Wenyuan thought for a moment and asked, "By the way, Madam, you were born and raised in Chang'an. What do you think of the Minister of Works, Mr. Lin Youwei?"
The Minister of Works is the person in charge of the entire Ministry of Works. He holds a third-rank official position and is a truly high-ranking official.
And Lin Youwei is the current Minister of Works.
"Lord Lin? I heard rumors that he is a conservative person who is very stubborn and rarely shows a good face to others."
Changle thought about it seriously, "Well... and he is dedicated to his duties and is a good official who is very focused on his work."
"It is said that he personally directed the construction of the imperial palace many years ago."
"Because the palace was newly established, he has been busy running around in and out of the palace. That year, he didn't even go home a few times, which made his wife and children full of resentment."
"So many years ago, Lord Lin was the Minister of Works?" Qin Wenyuan was surprised.
"That's right."
"After so many years, Lord Lin has no signs of promotion?" Qin Wenyuan asked again.
Changle nodded, "Maybe it's because Lord Lin is old-fashioned and doesn't treat people well, so his official position has remained stagnant, right?"
Hearing this, Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
After a moment, he smiled and said, "Madam, let's go now. Let's not go to the place where we recruit servants."
"Let's just go to the Ministry of Industry instead."
