Datang: Li Er, are you teaching me how to do things?

Chapter 437 Newcomer to the Manufacturing Bureau
Brother and sister Xie Cong moved house a few days ago, because Xie Shuying was in the previous place, and everyone knew that she was a woman.

For Xie Shuying's safety, the siblings have now moved to Daningfang. This place is closer to the East Palace, and Xie Conghao often goes home.

Today Xie Cong asked for leave from the East Palace, and when he returned home, he found that Xie Shuying was not there. He also knew how his sister was, so he didn't care.

About an hour later, when the sun was about to set, Xie Shuying came back from the outside. Seeing that her face was flushed, she must have eaten.

Xie Cong complained: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, cook quickly."

Xie Shuying pointed at her brother, making a fierce look, but didn't say much, and then went to cook.

Not long after, Xie Shuying brought out the food, "Brother, it's time to eat."

Xie Cong opened his eyes, and then sat down to eat. Xie Shuying was sitting opposite him. Only then did he realize that Xie Shuying had put on makeup and dressed herself very darkly, just like those old farmers in Chen Jun who worked in the fields every day.

"Little sister, what are you doing?"

Xie Shuying smiled triumphantly, and then said: "Brother, can you still see it now? I am a woman."

Xie Cong paused for a moment, then understood what Xie Shuying meant, and looked at her carefully.

I found that Xie Shuying really doesn't look like a woman now. Although she has excellent facial features, her skin is too dark, and there seems to be something on her face, which makes her face look tougher.

"It's not very similar, why are you dressed like this?"

Xie Shuying chuckled, "That's good, the way I came up with, is it good?"

Xie Cong rolled his eyes, and then said, "Your voice is still female."

"who said it……"

Xie Shuying suppressed her voice on purpose, imitating the way a man talks, "What about now?"

I have to say that Xie Shuying is indeed very smart. She speaks like a male voice at this time.

Xie Cong curled his lips, "It's better to be careful, there will always be mistakes when you walk too much at night."

"It's okay, I'll be careful."

Xie Shuying paused, and then said: "I found a job to do."

"Work? What can you do? You can't embroider?"

In this era, apart from the work in the fields and serving the nobles, only embroidery is left. There are also women who can do laundry, but relatively few.

Because even if you do laundry, you do it in someone else's home.

Xie Cong didn't think that his sister would go to someone else's family, it should be a job, so only embroidery was left.

Xie Shuying smiled, and then said in a low voice: "I went to see Uncle Zhou the day before yesterday, and he arranged a job for me as a supervisor of the Manufacturing Bureau of the Ministry of Industry."

"Uncle Zhou, that Uncle Zhou?"

"Uncle Zhou Jinming, the Minister of Industry today."

After all, Xie Shuying and Xie Cong were disciples of the Xie family in Chenjun. Their father was also a well-known literati in the south and knew many people.

Zhou Jinming is one of them.

The two used to be best friends. Before Zhou Jinming became an official, he lived in Xie's house for two years. At that time, Xie Cong and Xie Shuying were not born yet.

However, the relationship between the two families is very good. Even if Zhou Jinming became an official in Chang'an later, he would write to Xie's family every year.

Xie Cong naturally knew about Zhou Jinming, but because of his current status, he was too embarrassed to go to meet his relatives for a while, and he planned to wait for him to make a name for himself before going to Zhou Jinming.

He did not expect that Xie Shuying would go to find Zhou Jinming.

"Why didn't you tell me? How could you go to him so rashly?"

Xie Cong was a little angry, he was afraid that Xie Shuying would go over like this and embarrass the Xie family.

Xie Shuying chuckled, and then said: "Brother, you are afraid that I will give Xie's family a soft spot."

"You...you just know, father has been upright and upright in Zhou Jinming's heart all his life, how can we lose face of father?"

Xie Shuying shook her head, "What face does father have? Uncle Zhou is not a fool, do you think he doesn't know what happened to our family in Chenjun?"

"Then...then did he laugh at you?"

"Of course not. Who do you think Uncle Zhou is?"

Xie Shuying continued: "Uncle Zhou cared about me very much. If I hadn't insisted on leaving, he would have let me live in the Zhou Mansion. In addition, he had arranged for me a job as a supervisor of the Manufacturing Bureau of the Ministry of Industry."

"This job is very easy. It is to record the daily output of the two production bureaus."

"There are three supervisors in total. The three of us do not belong to each other. We all do our own things. Everyone is recording work."

"As long as there are no errors recorded, there will be no problems."

Hearing this, Xie Cong paused for a moment, then looked at Xie Shuying in a daze, "Little sister, you...are you still not reconciled?"

"Oh, not reconciled? No..."

Xie Shuying turned her eyes away, looked at the dark sky outside, and then said: "I just feel bored, find something to do."

Xie Shuying has been very intelligent and talented since she was a child. If she was a man, she would definitely be able to become an official, but if she is a woman, there is no other way.

Originally, with the background of the Xie family, even if Xie Shuying wasn't an official, she could still be in business as well as powerful.

However, the brothers and sisters of the Xie family did not keep their family property. They had no money to do business at all.

Xie Cong could see clearly, knowing Xie Shuying's thoughts, he said in a low voice: "I have no objection if you want to do something, but you must be careful, and you must not show your feet, and you must not implicate Uncle Zhou."

"Of course I know this, don't worry, I know it well."

Xie Cong thought for a while, and suddenly thought of the rumors in the East Palace, and then said, "When are you going to work?"

"I'll go tomorrow. I've already gone to the Manufacturing Bureau to say hello today."

"Oh, then can you postpone the past for a few days?"

Xie Cong continued: "I was working in the Eastern Palace, and I got the news. Because of the Goguryeo incident, His Majesty was very dissatisfied with the Eastern Palace Manufacturing Bureau, and ordered His Royal Highness to rectify the Eastern Palace."

"His Royal Highness is not easy to fool. If he finds out the identity of your woman, I'm afraid it will embarrass Uncle Zhou."

Xie Shuying paused slightly, "This..."

She still had something to say to Xie Cong, she did go to see Zhou Jinming, and received Zhou Jinming's warm hospitality.

But she didn't go as Xie Shuying, she went as Xie Cong.

She disguised herself as a man, and Zhou Jinming was a gentleman, so he didn't think of this.

So if she wants to ask for leave tomorrow, or doesn't go to work, it will definitely leave a bad impression on Zhou Jinming.

Thinking of this, Xie Shuying shook her head, "It's okay, with my current appearance, even if he has three eyes, it is impossible for him to find that I am a woman."

Xie Cong was still a little worried, "Why don't you ask for a few days off?"

"No need, I just want to perform well, don't ask for leave."
