    After posting the horses in the official stable at the end of Tianjie, Tian Xiu returned to the Ministry of Industry Yamen in the imperial city.

    Because tomorrow is the holiday at the end of the month, after the government office dismissed at noon, many people disappeared under the guise of going out for lunch. There were not many people in the huge government office.  This is also the grand style of the imperial government's Yamen - one person is superfluous to the task!  When working in the six departments, whether you have the ability or not is secondary. The key is to never get ahead of things. If anything can be postponed, it will be postponed and polished. Unless it is an urgent matter that is overseen by the superiors like thunder and lightning, otherwise, it can be postponed to  Things that are done on the fifteenth day should never be done on the fourteenth day.  Because if you do it on the 14th, you will probably have nothing to do on the 15th. If you have nothing to do on the 15th and can only sit in a daze, and unfortunately it falls into the eyes of the superior, what kind of test should this be?  No more questions.  So it doesn't matter if you delay three or five official matters, but if you delay your future because of a review, that is a big mistake

    While Tian Xiu was thinking about these words of "sincere warnings" from others, he kept nodding and saying hello to the acquaintances and unfamiliar people he met.  This was completely different from the situation when she came to work at the Ministry of Works just a few months ago.  At that time, people usually treated her with a cold attitude of turning a blind eye, but now they greet her warmly from a distance, and when they get closer, they always stop and say a few random words.  It's just that because she is a woman, no matter how much others want to get closer to her, they can't find a proper reason. They can only say empty words like "I'm back" and "I've been tired along the way."  Tian Xiu always spoke to these people generously and solemnly.  She knew very well why these people's attitudes had changed so much. What they valued was not Tian Xiu, but Tian Sicao from the Patent Department.  At the same time, she also warned herself in her heart that at times like this, she must be more careful with her words and actions!

    When she was about to reach the public house, she saw Yang Heng walking out with two people.  Judging from their clothes, the two men were also officials, one was of sixth grade and the other was seventh grade. Their manners and manners had a calm air. It was obvious at a glance that they were not local officials who came to the Ministry of Industry to handle matters.  Obviously, this is someone from another big yamen.  But for some unknown reason, when these two people were talking to Yang Heng, although they tried hard to act neither humble nor arrogant, they left the impression that they were flattering Yang Heng.

    Yang Heng said goodbye to the two people with a smile, turned around and saw Tian Xiu.  He smiled and extended his hand to Tian Xiu, walked over and asked, "Master Tian is back?"

    "I'm back." Tian Xiu nodded.  Not sure if it was his own misunderstanding, Tian Xiu thought that this young man who was a beauty in the seventh year of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty might have encountered something extremely happy. His face was filled with a happy smile that could not be concealed.  With a turbulent momentum, even the tone when he spoke revealed a kind of joy from the bottom of his heart.  She was curious about what made Yang Heng so happy, but instead of asking, she talked about official matters: "Has the matter in Xuzhou Dafang been resolved?"

    Tian Xiu¡¯s tone sounded harsh. If someone else spoke like this, Yang Heng might feel uncomfortable.  But Yang Heng and her had been working as a team for more than half a year, and they knew each other's temperaments very well, so they didn't take it too seriously. He smiled and said, "The matter is settled." He didn't go into details, and said a few words lightly.  He turned around and asked with concern, "I heard when I came back that there was a new look at the Sky Watching Instrument, and I also read the case file you left in the Yamen. How is it, has it been completed?"

    Tian Xiu sighed sadly and shook his head.

    Yang Heng immediately frowned and sighed with her.  He said to comfort Tian Xiu: "It's okay, it's no big deal if it doesn't work this time. I tried it according to the method in your case file. Two pieces of glass reflected each other, and I could see clearly things hundreds of steps away.  What an incredible thing! It¡¯s really amazing!¡± He sighed in admiration several times, and then said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, don¡¯t be anxious, this celestial instrument will be built sooner or later!¡±

    "I'm not too worried," Tian Xiu said.  As she spoke, she shook her head and smiled bitterly, "It's just from the Taishi Bureau"

    Yang Heng laughed immediately.  He could understand Tian Xiu's distress.  The reason why the Ministry of Industry put so much effort into firing glass was for the Taishi Bureau's celestial observatory.  Before the advent of glass, the Ministry of Industry wanted to spend every penny on it. Whenever others brought up the glass to make excuses, the Ministry of Industry always defended itself with stern words, saying that it was casting the Sky View for the Taishi Bureau.  The Taishi Bureau wants to use a celestial instrument to observe celestial phenomena. The purpose of observing celestial phenomena is to determine the calendar, and to determine the calendar is for the sake of the country and the people's livelihood. As for the purpose of the country and the people's livelihood, it goes without saying Although everyone knows that this reason is really very simple.  It's far-fetched and ridiculous, but the Ministry of Industry was already riding a tiger and couldn't get off, so it could only use the "cat skin" of the Taishi Bureau to hide its face.  However, when glass came out, the Ministry of Industry, which had been stabbed in the back for more than half a year, finally managed to see the moonlight. With high spirits and high spirits, the Taishi Bureau and Guantianyi immediatelyHe was thrown aside. In the memorial written by Shangshu Zhai Cuo to express his merits to the court, there was not a single word mentioned about Taishi Bureau from beginning to end.  Of course, it cannot be said that the Taishi Bureau was completely kicked out by the Ministry of Industry. At least Tian Xiu was leading people to study the art of casting the sky observation instrument. This is also an indisputable fact.  But no matter what, it is irrefutable that the Ministry of Industry does not care about the sky observation instrument

    While talking, the two of them walked into the public house.

    When entering, Yang Heng said with emotion: "In a few days, we won't have to work together with Yu Housi."

    "Oh?" Tian Xiu said, "So, our patent department will also have a company?" In front of outsiders, she never mentioned the patent department. Even if others took the initiative to talk about it, she would just say that she didn't know much about it.  this matter.  However, in front of Yang Heng, she didn't need to be so cautious.  She asked, "Where?"

    ¡°Two rooms have been vacated in Shangshu Gong¡¯s residence, and our Patent Department will temporarily settle there.¡±

    "Ah! In the minister's house?" Tian Xiu said in surprise.  No matter how small the space in the imperial city is, and no matter how tight the housing in the Ministry of Industry's yamen is, it's not like we can't even make room for a small courtyard for offices, right?  This was the 25th Division of the Sixth Division But she immediately realized that this was Zhai Cuo and Chang Xiu's way of showing their importance to the Patent Division!

    Yang Heng nodded and said, "Yes, we will work with Lord Shangshu and the two Lord Ministers every day from now on."

    Tian Xiu smiled.  She could tell it was a joke.  However, it is not easy for Yang Heng to say such words.  Because he failed in his official career in his early years, Yang Heng has always been very cautious in dealing with people. Whether facing his boss or colleagues, he always puts himself in a very low position, being both humble and polite.  , no matter what happened, he would never lecture others harshly. Even in the workshops of Xiaoluoyi and Xuzhou, facing the craftsmen, apprentices and helpers in the workshops, he would still speak less and do more  Much more.  This modest and prudent character also benefited him greatly personally.  This time the imperial court was preparing to establish the Patent Department. In order to help their own people stand out, several major yamen quarreled and quarreled over several important positions in the Patent Department. Only his position as judge was uncontroversial. This was in line with his cautious character.  Not irrelevant.  Of course, his background is also very important - "Jinshi and third place in the Rites Competition in the seventh year of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty". This alone can shut everyone's mouths

    The two people walked into the public house. Before they could sit down, Chang Xiu, the left servant of the Ministry of Works, came with a dark round face.

    Chang Xiu¡¯s expression was very bad, and he ignored everyone who greeted him.  The corners of his mouth were hanging downward, his brows were furrowed tightly, and the word "Chuan" was written between his eyebrows. He glanced at Tian Xiu when he entered the door, then turned to Yang Heng and said, "Just now I saw Bai Huang from the Criminal Department."  , what is he doing here? Is he here to find you? "

    Before Yang Heng spoke, Tian Xiu felt confused.  She couldn't figure it out, why was Chang Xiu so sure that some official from the Ministry of Justice was here to find Yang Heng?  Are people with the surname Bai not allowed to find others?

    Yang Heng stood up and said respectfully: "Bai Huang is here to see me. When the Ministry of Punishment was cleaning up the old case files recently, it discovered that the separation of the Zhang family was handled by me at the Inspection Department of Ruzhou Prefecture in the eighth year of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty.  The case of the family property was not that I was criticized for favors and not dealt with impartially, but that I had other reasons. Bai Huang was entrusted by Mr. Chen from the Ministry of Punishments to inform me of this matter. In addition, the Ministry of Punishments will also return the news soon.  There will be an official document specifically talking about this matter."

    Tian Xiu opened his mouth in surprise.  No wonder!  When she saw Yang Heng just now, she felt that he was so happy that he was almost dancing. It turned out that the cause and effect was here!  She knew that the wrong case caused Yang Heng to suffer a lot. The dignified Tanhualang could only be humiliated as a steward in Xiaoluoyi's workshop. She didn't know how much pain and suffering was involved!  What made her feel even more guilty was that she knew that Yang Heng's experiences over the years were not due to any unjust or wrongful convictions. The ultimate reason was because her father, Tian Wang, valued this person, which was why Yang Heng was implicated.  Now, now that the Ministry of Punishment has discovered that Yang Heng's case was unjust, false, and wrong, the first thing they have to do is to correct the mistake, help Yang Heng clear his grievances, and then set things right and vindicate Yang Heng Thinking of this, she couldn't help but help Yang Heng.  Feeling sincerely happy.

    Chang Xiu did not show any surprise at all. He obviously knew the ins and outs of the whole thing. He just asked: "Why doesn't Chen Huan go there in person?"

    He is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, so he can naturally name a fifth-grade doctor of the Ministry of Punishment, but Yang Heng cannot do this.  Yang Heng lowered his head and explained: "Master Chen originally wanted to come here in person, but Master Bai and I are of the same year. When we were taking the exam in Beijing, we lived in the same inn, so Master Bai  " He was so confused that he didn't know how to continue his words.

    Chang Xiu has transferredHe raised his head, gave Tian Xiu a deep look, and said, "Come out for a moment, I have something to tell you!"

    Tian Xiu was still happy for Yang Heng just now, but when Chang Xiu glanced at him, he suddenly felt as if a basin of cold snow water was poured on his body, which chilled his bones from head to toe.  She had probably had a premonition of what Chang Xiu was going to say to her, and her heart was frightened. A shiver ran through her body, and her cheeks that were originally rosy suddenly became so pale that it was unbearable to look at them.  She bit her lip and took a step back to lean against the door. She raised her head high and said loudly, holding her neck: "No!"

    Chang Xiu took two steps and saw that Tian Xiu refused to move. He turned around and said, "Come out with me. I have something to say to you."

    "No!" Tian Xiu's voice was low, but his expression was very determined. He didn't even look at Chang Xiu. He just stared at the beams, as if he was trying to cut through a few beams.

    Chang Xiu paused and called out Tian Xiu¡¯s nickname in a low voice: "Qingshan!"

    But Tian Xiu raised her face and remained indifferent, as if there was no Chang Xiu in front of her and Qingshan was not her nickname.

    Yang Heng shivered in excitement, and suddenly realized that what Chang Xiu was going to say was definitely not a trivial matter, otherwise he would not avoid others.  But what is a big deal in the Ministry of Works now?  It can only be glass; and there is a celestial instrument.  Oh, and there is the Patent Department, which is the top priority of the Ministry of Industry.  But Tian Xiu was involved in every major event, and he himself was also involved. Why did Mr. Chang suddenly avoid him to speak?  Could it be that something happened between Bai Huang's departure and Chang Xiu's arrival? He swallowed hard, and the sound of his Adam's apple rolling up and down scared him.  A big jump

    Chang Xiu was silent for a long time. Seeing that Tian Xiu had no intention of changing his mind, he took out an official document from his sleeve pocket and said, "This is a letter from the Ministry of Officials." He lowered his eyelids and put the thin  He opened and closed the two pages of the official document, twitched the corner of his mouth several times, and then said, " Starting from the first day of the new month next month, you no longer need to come to the Ministry of Industry. Your duties will be arranged by the Hanlin Academy.  "After speaking, he put the two pages of paper on the table next to him, turned around and left.
