Chapter 56 When a hobby becomes a job.

Fang Lingchu arrived at the Ministry of Works.

The people here are noticeably more enthusiastic than the historians.

When the officials and doctors from the Ministry of Works saw Fang Lingchu, they quickly went over to greet him.

"Young Master Fang, you've arrived."

"Hello, Mr. Fang."

"Young Master Fang, you've come at a time like this."

……

The greetings came in all sorts of strange and unusual ways.

Fang Lingchu answered each question briefly before asking, "Where should I sit?"

Upon hearing her words, one of them quickly said, "Young Master Fang, your seat is over here."

The others rolled their eyes at his eagerness.

Fang Lingchu looked at the person who had brought her along.

He asked, "What's your name?"

The one who answered replied, "You Yunliang is a secretary in the Tuntian Qingli Si (a local administrative office).

Fang Lingchu awkwardly replied with a smiley face, then asked the system: "Guagua, what's my position?"

The system said: [It looks like a drawing tool.]

Fang Lingchu, her face darkening, said, "[Isn't it just an artist? Then why am I sitting here? So what exactly is my position?]"

The system said: [Vice Minister of the Palace Secretariat, main responsibility: drawing; rank: sixth grade. Host, I didn't expect the Emperor to treat you so well! You're the only one with this position.]

Fang Lingchu really wanted to roll her eyes. The emperor actually offered her a position so that she would go to work.

I'm not happy at all. Who would like it when their hobby becomes their job?

Fang Lingchu was furious; all she wanted to do was give up!
Seeing Fang Lingchu's fury, the system weakly asked, "Host, are you still going to draw?"

Fang Lingchu said irritably, "[One thing at a time, of course I have to draw it! The money from the Prince of Dingbei's family could save so many displaced people.]"

Fang Lingchu arrived at her office.

He said reluctantly, "Could you help me find the design plans for the Prince of Dingbei's residence?"

You Yunliang nodded, just as he was about to go look for it.

The Minister of Works had already brought her what she wanted.

He added, "Young Master Fang, these need your repair. There are many palaces and mansions that have been there for a long time. Thank you for your hard work these days."

Fang Lingchu looked at the old painting and nodded with a wry smile, saying, "Understood, Lord Guan."

The Minister of Works didn't even look at Fang Lingchu's face; he put down his things and left.

Before You Yunliang could say anything, the Minister of Works gave him a look that scared him away.

Fang Lingchu didn't notice the two people's actions. After looking at the painting given to her by the Minister of Works, she felt that the workload was manageable.

Then, picking up a map of the Dingbei Prince's Mansion, he asked, "Guagua, where are all the gold bricks kept?"

The system glanced at it and said, "[Host, I actually have all these maps! Why didn't you ask me instead of coming here to look for them?]"

Fang Lingchu said, "Yours is an electronic version, and this is a paper version. How can they be the same?"

The system leisurely said: "Isn't it just that you, host, don't want to draw it again yourself and want to save trouble?"

Fang Lingchu seemed not to hear the system's words and picked up the white paper next to her to start drawing.

An hour later, he raised his head, stretched his limbs, and said, "It's finished."

After putting the pen away, I felt hungry.

[Guagua, how much longer until I get off work?! I'm so hungry!]

Fang Lingchu's office was just a short distance from the Minister of Works, who could hear her thoughts.

Hearing that Fang Lingchu was hungry, someone quickly sent over the pastries they had bought. This time it was You Yunliang again who delivered the pastries. After putting the pastries down, he said, "Young Lady Fang, you must be hungry after drawing for so long!"

Fang Lingchu looked at the pastries, nodded, and said thank you.

Then they dismissed him.

[Guagua, who is this You Yunliang? Why is he being so attentive to me? Let me see his melon.]

You Yunliang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Fang Lingchu start gossiping about him.

He had heard that Fang Lingchu knew things that others didn't, which is why he frequently appeared in front of her.

Upon hearing that Fang Lingchu finally had time to gossip, the system happily set off electronic fireworks.

[Host, you finally remembered to enjoy the gossip, how wonderful.]

Seeing the system's happy expression, Fang Lingchu said, "[Okay, Guagua, you've been waiting a long time. Let's start eating melon seeds!]"

The system announced: "The gossip is here."

You Yunliang passed the imperial examination three years ago and was assigned to the Ministry of Works. His family wasn't very wealthy, but they weren't poor either. The family was harmonious, with loving parents and respectful siblings.

Hearing this, Fang Ling nodded and said, "This is the most normal gossip we've heard in a long time."

The system chuckled and said, "Host, have you forgotten? In this melodramatic storyline, how could I possibly have any normal gossip?"

You Yunliang felt very happy when he heard the system talking about his family. His family was a rare example of monogamy, and there were no messy women in the house.

But upon hearing the system's next sentence, he began to have a vague premonition of something bad.

Their father passed away when You Yunliang was ten years old, and their mother raised them afterward.

His elder brother was a military officer, and he himself passed the imperial examination and entered the Ministry of Works. The two of them got married.

Both of them were very filial, and they did not separate their households after getting married. The eldest sister-in-law managed the household affairs, and his wife was also a non-competitive person, so the family could be described as harmonious.

However, this harmony was broken a year ago.

Fang Lingchu was initially moved by the heartwarming scene, but upon hearing the system's subsequent words, he knew that the melodramatic plot was about to unfold.

Could it be that one of the brothers has a crush on their mother?

The system said somewhat helplessly, "Of course not, host, can you please not let your imagination run wild?"

Fang Lingchu continued to guess: "Since their mothers-in-law are so kind, do their daughters-in-law like their mothers-in-law?"

The system once again refreshed its understanding of Fang Lingchu.

【no. 】

Hearing all sorts of wild guesses, You Yunliang's worldview was completely shattered.

What a mess of ideas.

Is this young lady Fang normal? Should he go and talk to her later? It's not right for a girl like her to act like this.

The other adults shared the same thought: this young lady's ideas were too unconventional, and they were all afraid that she would go down a bad path in the future.

Then Minister Fang received care and attention from officials of all ranks in the bureaucracy.

There were all sorts of educational philosophies, all kinds of books, and even a box or two of inspirational storybooks.

But Fang Lingchu was unaware of these things.

The system felt that if Fang Lingchu continued to guess, all ethics and morality would be lost.

Their uncle kidnapped their mother.

Fang Lingchu: ? ? ? This isn't that melodramatic!
You Yunliang: What? His uncle kidnapped his mother?
Fang Lingchu sat up straight and said, "Come, come, tell me about their love, hate, and grudges. I want to hear it."

Others: They want to hear too.

My brother-in-law and sister-in-law.

Hahahaha, it's just so...

The system knew that Fang Lingchu liked this.
