    Carrying a briefcase and an umbrella, Tian Xiu left the Yuhou Company and walked towards the gate of the Ministry of Industry Yamen.  Along the way, many people still greeted her, and she returned the greetings generously, saying a few words to people she knew casually and solemnly as usual.  There was no strange look on her face at all. She was as calm as ever, as if nothing had happened.  However, a few attentive people also discovered that her face was unusually rosy, as if there were two balls of fire burning on her cheeks, and her redness was a bit dazzling.  But none of them thought anywhere else.  When they thought about it, Tian Xiu must have just received praise and praise from another adult.  While they were talking to Tian Xiu intermittently, they were very envious of her good luck in their hearts.  The six ministries of the imperial court have always been under the jurisdiction of four divisions. Now the Ministry of Industry is the first to create a Patent Division in addition to the four divisions of Works, Tuntian, Dushui, and Yuhou. This is a first-of-its-kind "feat"  , made Yang Heng and Tian Xiu become the most popular figures in the imperial city.  How popular the Patent Department is, you can tell two-thirds of it just by looking at where their office is. Apart from the Patent Department, which other government office can set up its office in the Shangshu Office?

    Tian Xiu tried his best to restrain himself and walked out of the Ministry of Industry.  After leaving the gate, she quickened her pace and ran towards Yemen.  In the Yamen just now, she had already faintly noticed someone pointing fingers at her from a distance behind her back. It was obvious that someone had a quick talk and spread the news about her transfer back to the Hanlin Academy.  She doesn't want to stay here anymore!  She can't teach others to read a joke!

    It wasn¡¯t until she left Yemen, crossed the Golden Bridge, and found her horse in the official stables at the end of Tianjie outside the Bell and Drum Tower of Sichen and Dusk that she let out a long breath.

    She hung her briefcase and umbrella in the saddlebags next to her saddlebags, led the horse, and walked aimlessly along Tianjie.

    The winter rain, which had been brewing for most of the day, fell for a while around noon, then stopped before noon.  But the black clouds never dissipated. Instead, they gathered more and more thickly. They rolled, spread, and hung over the head with teeth and claws, as if a ferocious god was about to become angry. Dark clouds lingered in the sky above.  The earth grew dark.  Some houses and shops on the street have already lit up lights.  A wild dog emerged from nowhere, raised its head and stared at the black clouds, whined quietly, put its tail between its legs and ran away without a trace.

    Tian Xiu didn¡¯t pay attention to the situation on the street, but put all his thoughts in his heart.  Others could go home to reunite with their families after going to work, have a drink with friends, and hang out in a place full of fireworks, but she had nowhere to go.  She has no family, and her father publicly stated a few years ago that he had severed the father-daughter relationship with her.  Firewood and rice are expensive in Beijing, and she has no money. She can neither buy a house nor rent a private courtyard. So far, she lives in the princess's mansion in Nanyang.  But the Princess Mansion had been sold out by Nanyang three or four years ago, and there were not even a few helpers left. There were only a dozen or so people on duty in such a huge mansion. Tian Xiu went back every night and watched.  The dark pavilions and the silent halls and wing rooms always make you feel a little on tenterhooks.  Every day when she went to the Yamen before dawn, she would leave with her front legs, and her little maid Tuan'er would bolt all the doors and windows shut with her back legs.  Tuan'er has cried and made trouble in front of her many times, and wants to teach her to move out, even if she sleeps on the street, and is no longer willing to live in the princess' mansion.  Because the princess mansion is too big, there are not many people, and it is not popular at all. The little girl always thinks that this place will be haunted

    She doesn¡¯t want to go back now.  She felt depressed in her heart. If she returned to that lifeless place immediately, it would only make her mood even more depressed.  She wanted to stay alone for a while so that her resentment could slowly dissipate.

    She led the horse, lowered her head, and walked silently.

    She didn¡¯t think about anything, she just walked and kept walking.  Sometimes she would stop, raise her head, stare blankly at this familiar yet unfamiliar city, sigh silently, and continue walking in silence

    In this way, she walked along Tianjie until she reached Zhuque Gate.

    In front of the Zhuque Gate, she stopped and raised her face to look at the tall gate tower in confusion.

    She stood there for a long time without moving.  This situation was incompatible with the endless flow of people and horses around her, which quickly aroused the dissatisfaction of others: the road in and out of the city gate was only as wide as two carriages, and she was leading a horse, which naturally blocked other people's access.  road.  But she was wearing a blue official robe, so others did not dare to come up and embarrass her, so they could only mutter a few unpleasant words.

    Tian Xiu did not leave the city.  Even if she leaves the city, where can she go?  Nowhere is her home.  She really wanted to tell her good friends Nanyang and Chen Pu about her unfortunate experience, so that she might feel better.  She had grown up with her two sisters, and they must have understood her pain.  But Chen Pu has been struggling for many years.?In the military camp, Nanyang doesn't live in the city. If I go to find them now, maybe I won't see anyone until dark.

    Maybe if she works harder, she can get to the village in Nanyang before dark?

    Yes, let¡¯s go to Nanyang!  Going right now!

    She put her hands on the saddle, and when she was about to turn over and get on the horse, her eyes swept across the dark sky.  Her movements immediately hesitated.  She couldn't help but think, what if there was a strong wind and rain on the way?  She immediately told herself that she was not afraid. There was an oilcloth raincoat given to her by Chen Pu in her bag. It was said to be a rare item only issued to a high-ranking officer in the army She encouraged herself while speaking.  Looking for the raincoat on the edge of the saddle.

    Her eyes suddenly became dull.  sky!  Where is her robe?  Where the robe was originally hung, there are now only two pieces of leather rope left.  The robe actually disappeared

    No need to think about it, someone must have taken advantage of her while she was in a daze and stole her trousers.  Her mood immediately hit rock bottom.  There are still more than 600 Wen in the bagmoney is nothing, the key is that the raincoat is also in it!  Without a raincoat, how could she brave the cold wind and freezing rain to go to Zhuangzi in Nanyang?

    Unable to meet his good friends, Tian Xiu had no choice but to pull the reins and return to the bridle, walking back the way he came.

    When she returned to the Princess Mansion in the rain, she was surprised to find that Chen Pu was here as soon as she entered the courtyard.

    As soon as Chen Pu saw her, he immediately said happily: "Where have you been? Why are you home now?" Without waiting for the maid's help, he took a clean towel and handed it to her, saying, "Wipe it quickly! Tuan'er, hurry up."  Get some dry clothes for your girl to change into!" He then said, "I am rare and generous. I ordered a large table of food and drinks at the restaurant outside. I originally wanted to treat you to a feast, but who knew?  I didn¡¯t know until I got here that you haven¡¯t come back yet. All right, I¡¯ll let them start cooking right now!¡±

    Tian Xiu was driven around by her, and finally got an opening. He asked her, "Why are you here today? Are you here for a meeting at the Ministry of War again?"

    "I'm not leaving."

    "Have you been in the capital these days?"

    "Yes." Chen Pu said, "Although there are not many people in my Gyeonggi camp, there are still six to seven hundred veteran troops stationed there, and there are a lot of things to eat and chew. Winter is coming soon, and winter is coming.  Food, winter pay, winter clothing, and firewood for heating have not been given to us. In the past few days, I have been urging the Ministry of War to send the things to me quickly!"

    "Does such a small matter require your personal supervision?" Tian Xiu asked her good friend.

    "There is no way, in the eyes of the Ministry of War, our Gyeonggi Camp is the stepmother. If I don't go there personally to guard them, I'm afraid I won't be able to see anything next year." Chen Pu said with curled lips.  She immediately smiled sheepishly and said, "I have been quarreling with Gu Poyang every day, banging the table, and my other skills have not improved, but my speech has become more and more vulgar. I went to see my father and concubine yesterday, and I accidentally let it slip.  I was scolded by my father" Her words sounded as if she regretted not being able to learn any good skills, but there was no trace of regret on her face, and instead she showed a proud look on her face.  There are probably not many people who can quarrel with Gu Poyang every day, right?  In fact, when she left the palace yesterday, her father gave her a sword. Apparently Emperor Dongyuan also felt that Chen Pu's daughter had indeed improved her abilities.

    Tian Xiu could hear the pride and pride in Chen Pu's words.  She felt extremely sad when she thought that Chen Pu was competing with people like Gu Poyang in the Yamen of the Ministry of War, but she could only end up as "the Hanlin Academy has other tasks".  She really wanted to hold Chen Pu and cry bitterly, and confide her misfortunes to her good friends.  But Chen Pu was so happy, how could she immediately defeat her?  She had no choice but to cheer up and ask Chen Pu about what happened in the Ministry of War Yamen in the past few days.
