Chapter 80 The Study Room
Xin Nuo actually woke up when she was picked up. She was not an unwary person, but she did not take advantage of her senior brother.

Listening to the footsteps disappearing, she quietly got up and looked out through the gap in the bed tent. With a sweet feeling in her heart, she turned over and lay down on the bed, closed her eyes and continued to sleep.

The next day, she woke up to a gentle voice. In her blurred vision, she vaguely saw a man with a smile in his eyes. Xinnuo couldn't help but smile.

Chu Wei said: "Get up quickly when you wake up. I will take you out when the guards change shifts at dawn."

Xinnuo woke up and climbed out of bed.

It dawned early in the summer. It was only around midnight, and the glow was already appearing in the east. Xinnuo did not change clothes, but only washed up, followed Chu Wei, and left the Ruiminghou Mansion as if he was in a deserted place. .

Most of the people who came in and out of the inner city were servants. Xin Nuo and Chu Wei were a little conspicuous. Chu Wei glanced at the eastward street and said, "Go back."

Xinnuo was very obedient, waved his hand and walked away briskly.

When they arrived at the back door of Cheng's house, the kitchen shopkeeper pushed fresh fruits, vegetables and meat in. When he saw Xinnuo coming in from the outside, the woman who looked like a kitchen manager smiled and said hello: "Second Miss, you went out early in the morning. .”

Xin Nuo also smiled: "Where am I going, do I need to inform you in advance?"

The mother-in-law said embarrassedly: "No, no. I would like to ask what you like to eat for breakfast. We will prepare it for you."

Xinnuo said, "Thin-skinned big wontons, I haven't eaten them for a long time."

"Hey, okay, miss, just go back to the courtyard and rest, and when I'm done, I'll find a little girl to send it to you." The woman's attitude was even more humble.

After Xin Nuo left, the woman over there whispered: "Manager Li, are you deliberately trying to trouble that person?"

Manager Li glanced at the woman and asked: "Who? Her?"

Looking at the direction where Xin Nuo left, he said, "Didn't you hear what Hong Shan Niang said, this lady is not afraid of seeing a tongue-pulling corpse?"

Besides, they are from the upright Cheng family, so why are we, a servant, joining in the fun?
Li Guanshi turned around and waved his hands, "Hurry up, hurry up, the old lady will be serving dinner in an hour."

----

The large thin-skinned wonton fillings made by Cheng's kitchen are juicy and juicy, and they are juicy when you bite into them. Xin Nuo is holding a large bowl, and it is extraordinarily sweet to eat.

The old man and the old lady across the street also ate more than half of the bowl before putting down their chopsticks. The old lady also praised: "I have eaten wontons from many places, but the ones made here are really good in texture and taste."

Xin Nuo wiped her mouth and said, "If grandma likes to eat it, I will ask the cook to make it tomorrow morning."

The old lady waved her hand, "No matter how delicious the food is, it won't taste good if you keep eating it. By the way, where were you last night?"

Although Xinnuo went out secretly, he did not want to hide it from his grandparents, so he said: "I woke up a little bored, so I went out for a walk, and I even met the master."

The new old man smiled and said: "He came at just the right time. Have you told your master about the gambling match between the Thousand Machines Sect and the Pisces Gang tomorrow?"

Xin Nuo: "I told you, master said he would help." He put his chopsticks on the bowl and said, "Grandpa and grandma, I have to report to the government office today, so I have to leave first."

The two elders were puzzled, what was going on to report to the government office?

Xin Nuo hurried into the house to change clothes. She had prepared a simple dress with sleeves before going to bed yesterday. After changing it in a few times, she opened the door and saw her grandparents standing on both sides of the door.

"What's going on when you go to the government office?" Grandpa asked first.

"I just went to the government office to find a job," Xinnuo said as he walked outside. "Grandpa, after I get to know you well in the government office, I will recommend you to work there."

The new old man said hurriedly: "I want to rest. There is no need to mention my name again."

"Okay, okay," Xinnuo promised not to go out soon.

----

When she came outside the gate of the government office, Aunt Wu still felt like she was dreaming.

Today when this young lady went out, she actually called her and said that she would take her to be the jailer who interrogates female prisoners in the government office.

is this real?
Aunt Wu couldn't believe it. Two guards came from the street outside. Aunt Wu quickly stepped aside.

The officer on the left stopped, looked at them and asked, "Do you want to file a complaint or find someone?"

"Looking for someone," Xin Nuo just said these two words, Zhang Ku and Hu Ping happened to also come from outside, seeing Xin Nuo, they all came forward to greet Xin Nuo warmly.

"New girl, you're here so early. Come in quickly. The adults will be there after dinner." Zhang Ku said, reaching out to welcome the person inside.

At first, the two guards saw that they were acquainted with Mr. Zhang, so they smiled and followed him inside.

Xin Nuo introduced Aunt Wu, and Hu Ping quickly found a servant to take her to familiarize herself with various parts of the Yamen. If the case is tried in the future, people like Aunt Wu will need to wait in the courtroom with the women in the women's prison. of.

Today's jailers have a lowly profession and are looked down upon by good people, but compared with being a servant in a wealthy family, it is a better profession.

Aunt Wu was very happy. She was brought here by the young lady. If she behaves well in the future, she might be able to move up the ladder.

Aunt Wu here is full of longing for the future, and Xin Nuo on the other side has also been assigned an office space next to the adult's study. When she opens the window, she can reach out to a loquat outside the study next to her.

Several loquats were turning yellow. Xinnuo reached out and picked one, put it in his mouth and sucked it in. The sweet juice filled his mouth.

She was leaning against the window eating loquat, when she saw Chu Wei striding forward in a crimson official uniform, Xin Nuo took a bite of the loquat and ran out quickly.

"Is there any case?"

Chu Wei held a stack of official documents in his hand and handed it to Xinnuo casually, saying: "I just went to check the old cases in the government office. There are several cases that are similar to the previous Luohua Lane case. Take a look at the similarities among them. point."

"Okay." Xin Nuo happily took it and followed Chu Wei into his study.

There are three bookcases in the study, one side displays antiques, the other side contains ancient books, and the other side is just documents wrapped in kraft paper.

On the table next to the window, there is a bonsai. It is a pine tree bonsai. The bottom is separated from the soil by stones, and a small turtle is crawling on it.

Those who work as officials and raise turtles must be old officials.

Xin Nuo picked up the crawling little turtle and placed it in a glass vat the size of a porcelain bowl on the windowsill. "Is this left by the prefect?"

Chu Wei nodded.

Xin Nuo asked: "Have they not tidied up this study?"

"It's almost done. If there's anything you don't like, just give it to the servants outside." Chu Wei said and threw a key to Xinnuo, "You will do the cleaning of the study later. "

Xinnuo: It turns out that he assigned me a job, and he said it as if I could decide what to do.

She put the keys in her purse and asked, "Where's the rag?"

Xin Nuo doesn't work often, but she does it very quickly. In fact, there is nothing she needs to scrub. She closes and throws away what needs to be collected. In a short time, the study room that still retains traces of its original owner has changed drastically. Same thing.
