I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 222 Hahaha

Re-order the next day. . . . .

Oops, she blurted it out accidentally. Shen Qiao quickly nodded carefully. She forgot that there were female officials and female schools in ancient times.

He smiled and said, "Dad, I just saw Uncle Hu. He's on a boat and is about to dock." Shen Xiao said as he opened the car door. Before Master Shen Si could finish his words, he jumped out and waved to the boat.

Fourth Master Shen laughed helplessly. Since the founding of the country, there have not only been female military officers, but also the establishment of a girls' school by Grand Duke Huazhang. Women are no longer as restricted as they were in the late period of the previous dynasty.

She lowered her head and met Xiao Qilang's stunned eyes, "Do you want to get off the car to find your sister?"

Xiao Qilang shook his head, "Dad, I need to pee."

Fourth Master Shen...

This mule cart was rented, so the Fourth Master had to find out where all the items were.

While the father and son were busy in the car, Hu Wu had already arrived in front of the car.

He was quite tall, and he bowed and said, "Fourth Miss, my mother asked me to charter this boat last night. We set out before dawn."

Shen Xiao did not expose him: "Uncle Hu Wu, you have worked hard."

"It's not even dawn yet. I'm afraid he's been sleeping on the boat all night." Shen Ruoyun lifted the cotton curtain and glanced at Hu Wu's wrinkled clothes.

Hu Wu chuckled, took over the Seventh Young Master, and tightened his small cloak, "Fourth Master is very smart, my mother rented a boat last night and asked me to come here.

But when we arrived, the city gate was already closed."

After Shen Ruoyun got off the car carrying three bamboo tubes and wrapped herself tightly in a cloak, the driver from Fu Ji's "station" not far away had already come to meet her.

Old Mac took out half a wooden sign, matched it with the sign in the visitor's hand, and handed over the mule cart to him to settle the bill.

The driver held the bridle and bowed, saying, "Sir, take care and have a safe journey."

The group came to the shore and prepared to board the boat, but suddenly they heard someone shouting, "Han Guang."

Shen Xiao looked around, who was calling daddy?

On the river bank, on the left side separated by a boat, a middle-aged scholar with a short beard, a slightly plump figure and a straight suit was waving at them.

Shen Ruoyun hurriedly took a step forward to meet him.

Shen Xiao, who followed closely, heard Lao Mai remind him, "Mrs. Qian's brother."

It turned out that he was her step-grandmother's younger brother. Although she had never met him, she and her brother had always received gifts from Uncle Qian during the Chinese New Year.

Shen Ruoyun had already come to Qian Runze and bowed deeply, "Uncle Qian."

Like his brother-in-law Shen Shouxin, Qian Runze became a disciple of Jiang Boyuan, the president of Wenlan Academy.

At that time, Senior Sister Jiang died of illness during childbirth. When her brother-in-law was looking for a new wife, Qian Runze found his mentor and arranged a marriage for his sister whose fiancé had died.

Therefore, Ruowu and Ruoyun are the same to him as his nephew Ruoxu.

He helped Shen Ruoyun up, and then lifted up his two children, "No need to be so polite."

Seeing that the father and his two sons were all dressed in plain clothes and the younger one was about to leave, he sighed slightly in his heart, took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to the two children.

Shen Xiao and Shen Xiujun turned to look at their father, and after their father nodded, they happily accepted the gift.

"Thank you, Uncle Qian."

"good."

Shen Xiao held his brother's hand and followed his father and others to a nearby teahouse. He listened to his father and Uncle Qian chatting, and then he learned that Uncle Qian had received excellent test scores and had been transferred back to the Ministry of Works from Fujian to serve as a Langzhong in the Tuntian Qingli Division.

Both Tongpan and Langzhong were of the fifth rank, but Langzhong was a Beijing official and naturally half a rank higher.

You have to know that in the past and present dynasties, there was only the Cabinet, the six ministers, and 24 departments below the six departments. The doctor was the chief officer of each department, which was definitely a promotion.

"elder sister."

Shen Xiao was pulled by his brother's hand, and he squatted down and asked him what was wrong?

"Sister, look." Shen Xiujun pointed his finger at the people getting off Uncle Qian's passenger ship outside the window, and then quickly retracted his finger.

The man was wearing shorts and holding two pots of vine beads in his arms.

The branch was full of walnut-sized fruits, which were red and looked tempting.

Shen Xiao opened his eyes slightly and saliva couldn't help but flow out. This is a tomato!

When she was four years old, she had stir-fried pork with chili peppers at the birthday banquet of Prince An, the Chief of the Imperial Clan. She heard that it was presented by Sichuan and Guizhou.

Later, several restaurants in the capital city also started offering spicy dishes, but the prices were too high, at only one tael of silver for a small portion of stir-fried pork with chili peppers.

Later, her father asked someone at the canal dock to buy a few for her at a high price. He took the trouble to save the seeds, and when he returned, he had half an acre of land in the garden to plant them.

But I have never heard of tomatoes appearing in the capital.

Its appearance now indicates that it has spread to the coast, but, like the peppers in the past, it is still considered an ornamental plant.

She quietly pulled Fourth Master Shen's cloak, thinking she was being discreet, but Qian Runze saw it.

He was promoted to the fifth rank of Beijing official just when he reached the age of forty, and he had a very sharp eye.

He raised his left eyebrow and said with a smile, "Are you interested in uncle's red fruit?"

Shen Xiao's eyes lit up, and he nodded in surprising unison with Shen Xiujun, with similar expressions and identical movements, which made Qian Runze burst into laughter, and the fatigue from the journey seemed to disappear.

"You and Uncle Grandpa can live in my house together, and each of you can have one red fruit plant."

Shen Xiao and his brother shook their heads quickly.

The two were pulled into their father's arms and each of them snapped his fingers.

"Uncle Qian, please forgive me for being so naughty." Shen Ruoyun knew that the flowers and fruits brought back from Quanzhou from afar must be treasures.

"You!" Qian Runze couldn't help but sigh, and then said: "My family doesn't know that I came to Beijing early today. It will take more than a month for your aunt and her family to come back. When the time comes, we will have a family dinner. You can bring the children with you."

"Oh." Just agree to it first, and then find an excuse not to go.

Old Mai found two horse-drawn carriages from Lai Fu Ji and helped Hu Wu load the luggage.

Qian Yize called his servant over and gave him a few instructions. After a while, the servant brought two rosewood boxes painted with gold.

"Then, if you don't go back home with me, you can only get a few fruits and branches." Qian Runze opened the lid and pushed it in front of the two children.

Shen Ruoyun felt a little embarrassed because the naughty child was not shy.

Shen Xiao was overjoyed. He reached out to touch the bright red fruits. Some of them were ripe and quite large, so they could be kept for seeds. He could also find ways to propagate the vines in the other box.

He took one out and put it in his brother's hand. Xiao Qilang held it curiously and leaned over to smell it. "It doesn't smell good."

Qian Yize laughed again. Fortunately, they were the only guests in the teahouse at that time. Otherwise, if they were seen by the censor, they would be reported for being disrespectful.

"Uncle, when we have finished growing the crops, we will definitely send you lots of red fruits." Shen Qiao was confident that she would be able to grow the crops well.

Xiao Qilang also said: "Grow lots of it for uncle."

"Then it's a deal!" Qian Runze raised both his hands and pointed at the two of them.

Shen Xiao took his brother's hand and high-fived him together.

The two little ones were still excitedly talking about how to preserve seeds and how to keep them alive until they arrived in Tong County by boat and got on their own carriage.

The carriage passed through the main street of the county town and moved steadily southward. Suddenly, several people rushed out from the street corner, and a young man pounced on one of them and bit him.

Old Mai and Hu Wu worked together to pull back the frightened horse that almost stepped on the boy.
