Playing bad and eating melons: The whole court is laughing? No, no

"We usually write a leave request, state the reason, and give it to Kong Jijiu. Once he approves it, we can take leave."

Jiang Yueyang nodded and asked, "Is Kong Jijiu easy to talk to?"

"Working in the library is a leisurely job. Unless there are special circumstances, Kong Jijiu will usually agree."

While being free also means there is no room for advancement. If you are not extremely talented, you can only reach the seventh rank at best.

Someone like Jiang Yueyang, who starts out as a fifth-rank official, is rarely seen in ten years.

Jiang Yueyang expressed her gratitude, "By the way, where did you buy these flowers?"

"My mother bought this by chance at a grocery store. The shopkeeper said it was a flower she had never seen before, so she bought it and planted it. I don't know what kind of flower it is, but it's quite beautiful."

Jiang Yueyang hurriedly asked, "Did your mother tell me where the shop is?"

Xu Zheng told her the address and said that he still had a lot of that flower at home. If she wanted it, he would have someone send it to her at Jiang Mansion tomorrow.

Jiang Yueyang really wanted it, but he was too embarrassed to accept something for free. Otherwise, he would be impeached and fined a month's salary.

Although five taels of silver was not a lot of money for her, it was still shameful to be fined repeatedly.

So she waved her hand and refused.

Xu Zheng tried a few times, but seeing that she really didn't want to accept it, he didn't force her.

"Then I'll get busy first."

Not long after Xu Zheng left, Pei Yan came again.

Jiang Yueyang, who was about to stand up and go to the couch to study the storybook, sat down silently.

Pei Yan placed a book in front of her and said, "Master Xiao Jiang, Kong Jijiu heard that you have good handwriting and asked you to copy a copy of this book."

Jiang Yueyang glanced at the book in front of her that was as thick as a finger, "...Who did he hear that from?"

Pei Yan: “…”

This is just a casual remark to keep you busy and prevent people from finding fault with you.

Pei Yan: "I don't know, do you need me to ask?"

"What do you think?" She would have to be crazy to ask such a question.

Pei Yan pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly, "Jiu Kong asked Master Xiao Jiang to copy it carefully, and make sure there are no typos, otherwise he will have to rewrite it."

Jiang Yueyang flipped through the book casually, sighed and said, "I know."

In this way, Jiang Yueyang copied the book diligently until the lunch break.

She ate a little, continued copying for a while, then washed her pen and ink and left the palace.

Qingzhi was waiting outside the palace gate on time. Jiang Yueyang climbed onto the carriage and changed his clothes while directing, "Go to Liu's Grocery Store on Yuehua Street."

Soon, the two arrived at Liu's grocery store.

Jiang Yueyang, who had been feeling a little tired after copying books for the whole morning, suddenly became energetic when he saw the corn seeds!

There are no things like corn, potatoes, tomatoes, and peppers in this world, but surprisingly there are spices like pepper, star anise, and bay leaves.

But people here don’t know how to eat it.

Jiang Yueyang pointed at the corn kernels and asked, "Boss, how much is this?"

The shopkeeper who was entertaining other guests looked over reflexively. Seeing that Jiang Yueyang was asking about the seeds that had been piled up for a long time, he immediately walked over happily.

He exchanged those seeds with a passing merchant. He thought that the rare items could be sold at a high price, but he didn't expect to lose money on them.

Although he didn't spend much money, he felt annoyed by the sight of those things piled up there.

"If you want it, give me a penny and take it all."

"all?"

Seeing this, the shopkeeper took out a bundle from under the shelf and unfolded it for Jiang Yueyang to see. There were more than a dozen small bags inside, all filled with seeds, but it was impossible to tell what kind of seeds they were.

"I got these seeds from the same person."

Jiang Yueyang was extremely excited when she saw a sprouted potato in one of the bags!

Ahhh… I can have French fries, hot and sour potato shreds, mashed potatoes, and meat and potato stew!

Seeing Jiang Yueyang didn't say anything, the shopkeeper asked anxiously, "Miss, do you want it?"

To prevent the shopkeeper from seeing her inner desire and asking for too much, Jiang Yueyang said reluctantly, "Okay."

The shopkeeper didn't notice, and immediately packed the corn kernels into the package and handed it to her with a smile, fearing that she would change her mind and not want it.

Qingzhi took the package and took out a piece of silver and gave it to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper weighed it and gave her two cents and twenty coins in change.

After leaving the grocery store, Jiang Yueyang couldn't wait to go home.

She wants to plant a little bit of each of those seeds to see what kind of blind box will come out.

But before they reached the place where the carriage was parked, Jiang Yueyang was attracted by the noisy sound in front.

When I got closer, I saw a fair-skinned, gentle-looking man surrounded by several playboys and not allowed to leave.

In the restaurant next door, a man dressed in luxurious clothes and looking somewhat rebellious was laughing at the man who was surrounded with his companions.

"I just said he looks like a woman."

“Hahaha… now that I think about it, the way he looked at you before was wrong. Could it be that he had a crush on you, Nan Muyang?”

Nan Muyang immediately showed a disgusted expression, "Don't disgust me, I am a serious man, I only like women."

The surrounded man wanted to break through the encirclement and leave, but those playboys would not let him go.

"Don't leave so quickly, tell us what kind of men you like."

"Get out of the way!" the man growled.

"Why are you still angry? Look, you look more like a woman when you're angry! Otherwise, wear a skirt next time you go out."

"Hahaha...Miss He."

Jiang Yueyang only understood half of what she heard, and subconsciously asked the system: [What are they doing?]

The system explained to her: [The person surrounded is He Jing. His homosexuality has been discovered. These people are mocking him.]

As soon as the words fell, the chaotic laughter gradually subsided, and the dandy boys slowly turned their heads.

He Jing also met Jiang Yueyang's gaze through the gap in the crowd.

For some reason, Jiang Yueyang felt inexplicably guilty.

He Jing & the Playboys: It turns out that she is the daughter of Minister Jiang.

At the restaurant, Nan Muyang curled his lips and glanced at Jiang Yueyang, then for some unknown reason, he continued to laugh at He Jing.

"Hey! He Jing, I heard that the young men in the South Courtyard are all very handsome. Why don't you go and redeem one of them to be your wife?"

"Hahaha..." deafening laughter.

"He Jing, listen to me, no matter how hard it is for others, you must not let yourself suffer. Even if I can't marry her, as long as I have money, I believe someone will be willing to meet your needs."

Nan Muyang sneered and said, "It just so happens that I don't know how things work between two men. I'll ask the artist to draw the whole process so that everyone can learn more."

He Jing's face was extremely pale, but the laughter was getting louder and louder.

Jiang Yueyang looked up at Nan Muyang upstairs with a gloomy face. [Has this guy eaten shit? His mouth stinks! What does it have to do with him whether someone likes a man or a woman?]

The smile on Nan Muyang's lips froze for a moment, and then gradually disappeared.

The deafening laughter from before also completely stopped at this time.

But the next second, laughter rang out again. However, this time it wasn't the laughter of the dandies, but the laughter of the system.

[Hahahaha... Host, you've got the truth. He stepped on a melon rind on his way out this morning and fell. There was a pile of dog poop right where he fell, and he took a big bite!]
