So what if I traveled through time? I'll continue to roll in another place

Kong Nanlu made a fuss for a while and Zhou Yao had no time to go back to sleep, so he could only pack up and prepare for the morning court.

Xiao Yueshan was afraid that the night would be too long and there would be more trouble. As soon as Zhou Yao returned to Beijing yesterday, she asked him to send the newly cast weapons and farm tools to the Ministry of Works first, and have them reviewed by Shangshu Xu Miao and others before they were considered ready.

As expected, Xu Miao and others were full of praise for the fine iron weapons. Now that the mission was completed, the two of them felt free of burden.

Kong Nanlu sat alone in the room, watching the sky outside the window gradually light up. Xiao Yueshan's words touched her soul, and she pondered for a long time alone.

She is also a modern intellectual woman who has gone through many trials and tribulations. Is she really willing to devote herself to being a pawn for the Shen family?

Although Shen was not very smart, he was ruthless enough. Kong Nanlu still felt a little scared when she thought of Shen's cruel methods and his elusive secret guards.

She had not yet completed the mission that Shen had sent her to Xizhou to seduce Zhou Yao. She was not very good at the chemical experiments at the bottom of Wangyue Mountain. If she really returned empty-handed, she didn't know how she would be treated.

Kong Nanlu thought of the tragic death of Teacher Shen, clenched her fists, and decided to go all the way.

She had to get Zhou Yao no matter what. She could replace Xiao Yueshan and get the protection of the Zhou family; or she could complete Shen's mission and get away with it.

She probably had a plan in mind, so she went outside to look for Xiao Yueshan.

"Junior sister Xiao, I was bewildered by the devil before, but luckily it didn't lead to a serious mistake. I'm sorry, I won't do it again." Kong Nan looked guilty and spoke sincerely.

Xiao Yueshan was happy about her change, thinking that she had figured it out. "It's okay. It's not easy for everyone to come here. As long as you figure it out, it's fine."

"I thought about it and decided that I should be self-reliant or make use of my professional expertise. However, I majored in science and engineering, and I am not very good at doing accounting or embroidery. I can't even recognize all the traditional Chinese characters. For a moment, I had no idea what to do." Kong Nanlu lowered her eyes, as if she was really at a loss.

"Is that so..." Xiao Yueshan held up his chin and thought, "It's okay, how about letting the maids teach you how to write and use an abacus these days, and then we'll see what you want to do."

Kong Nanlu's eyes lit up and she immediately responded, "That's great. I'll trouble you, Xiao."

In this way, Fangcao, as the financial director, sent her maid Biyun to teach Kong Nanlu how to write and do accounting for two hours every day. Kong Nanlu took the opportunity of learning to ask Biyun about many things in the Zhou Mansion, and he kept quiet for a while.

When Lu Jiayan heard about Xiao Yueshan's arrangement, he could only sigh and said, "Shanshan, you are too generous. Are you really going to let her live in your house for a long time? I always feel that something is a little strange."

Xiao Yueshan smiled, "I also think she's a little strange. I'm not keeping her here because I'm generous. First, when she first came, she made a scene that everyone knew about. People outside thought she was Zhou Yao's new concubine in Xizhou. It would be even more eye-catching to drive her away now.

Secondly, her arrival was indeed strange. She knew Zhou Yao before, so how could she be sent to Zhou Yao after traveling through time? And she was sent to the Nantai Iron Mine in Nantai County, Xizhou so accurately? If someone wants to use this relationship to infiltrate our organization, it is better to lure them into the trap and see what they are up to. "

Lu Jiayan laughed after hearing her thoughts, "Fortunately you are not some saintly little white flower. I feel relieved when you say that."

Xiao Yueshan picked up a piece of molasses cake and ate it. "If I were really a female competitor and my husband's wife is loved by everyone in the world, I would definitely target you!"

She looked at Lu Jiayan with a smile, "But you are so beautiful, I just want to be close to you."

Lu Jiayan was amused by her, and the two of them started eating together affectionately.

A few days passed like this, and Kong Nanlu gradually became familiar with the Zhou family's situation.

Yangzhou Prefecture was wealthy, and the Zhou family had considerable property. Now that the most promising third son had settled down in the capital, Zhou Qitai had purchased many new farms for them in the capital.

After the New Year, the managers of various manors came to report on the preparations for spring ploughing. Xiao Yueshan had been doing the accounting in the study room recently. One day, Kong Nanlu came in with a cup of tea, "Xiao Xuemei, you've been working hard all day, I made you a cup of tea."

Xiao Yueshan took it with a smile, "Thank you."

Kong Nanlu looked at Xiao Yueshan. This woman had her hair combed in a dignified and elegant back bun, and wore a few plum blossom branch hairpins with silver threads and inlaid pearls and chalcedony. She looked both seasonal and elegant.

She was wearing a lilac-colored double-breasted brocade gown with an ice-heart wintersweet pattern, a snow-blue horse-faced skirt inlaid with silver thread, and a snow fox fur cape draped over her shoulders. She was sitting at her desk, looking at the account books and deeds piled up on the table.

This woman was not extremely beautiful. She looked at Xiao Yueshan critically, her eyes sweeping across the neatly arranged stacks of account books and vouchers, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes.

She adjusted her mood in time and said, "Not only is this schoolgirl pretty, she's also very capable. Senior brother is so lucky."

Xiao Yueshan certainly caught Kong Nanlu's subtle expression change. She just pretended not to see it, "Senior sister, you are too polite." She stood up and asked Kong Nanlu to sit at the round table in the middle of the room.

"I've been busy these days and haven't had time to visit my senior. I wonder how her calligraphy is going." She was still smiling and talking.

Shutong and Fangcao arranged the tea and snacks with a glance and quietly stepped aside.

Kong Nanlu smiled and replied, "I have made some progress. Thank you for your concern, junior sister."

Xiao Yueshan took a sip of tea and nodded, "That's good. Learning to count and read is the entry level here."

Kong Nanlu's eyes flickered, and she pretended to be envious and said, "You are really amazing. You have managed so many account books in an orderly manner. Unlike me, I get a headache just by looking at these."

Xiao Yueshan smiled and said modestly: "It's just some additions and subtractions. I used to do this, so I'm used to it."

Kong Nanlu took the opportunity to ask, "You're right, junior. You should stick to your old profession. Otherwise, wouldn't all the years of studying be wasted? I've thought about it carefully. I studied mechanics, and I've drawn the drawings of those equipment. I can also try to draw the drawings of the Xizhou smelting factory."

Xiao Yueshan's heart was moved, but he remained calm on the surface. "It's a good idea. I can draw at home without being in public. It's not dangerous, but it's a bit hard."

Kong Nanlu quickly said, "I am not afraid of hard work. When I was studying, I often stayed in the laboratory all night to do experiments and write papers."

Xiao Yueshan smiled and said, "In that case, I'll talk to Zhou Yao after I finish what I'm doing."

Kong Nanlu was overjoyed, "Thank you, junior! I will definitely work hard."

Xiao Yueshan looked at her excited expression and had some guesses about Kong Nanlu's intentions.
