Who knows, family members? The system was intercepted by the First Emperor.

Ying Zheng heard Li Jiang's thoughts and the pen knife in his hand slipped again.

He raised his head and looked at Li Jiang. Zhao Gao was a heavenly eunuch... Li Jiang should know that, right?

Li Jiang knelt down next to Ying Zheng with vacant eyes. After watching Ying Zheng make a deep mark on the bamboo slips, he turned his attention to her.

【What?error?Brother Zheng is shy? 】

"Your Majesty? What's wrong? Do you have any orders?"

Li Jiang pretended to be confused and cupped his hands towards Ying Zheng.

[Look, your expression is natural. I definitely didn’t notice any mistakes on your part. Brother Zheng, don’t worry! 】

Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, turned his head and continued to carve the bamboo slips with his pen knife dipped in ink.

"Can you read?"

"Back to the king, I know a little bit about you."

The original person was literate, which made it a lot easier for her.

"Since Zhao Gao is going out with the army, you will temporarily take over Zhao Gao's position."

Then he pointed to the bamboo slips on the table: "Organize these."

Li Jiang knelt down beside the table, holding a pen knife in his hand, dipping in ink and carving the statistical data on the bamboo slips.

Because I couldn't control the strength just now, my fingers were burning and hurting.

Occasionally, if a wrong word is engraved, the handwriting on the bamboo slips must be lightly crossed out with a pen knife.

If there were too many typos, the bamboo slip would be taken out, replaced with a new one, and the carving would have to start from scratch.

In just one day, Li Jiang developed two large blood blisters on his index and middle fingers.

[It’s really difficult to write a word now. I can’t even read the words without a few carving efforts...]

[Ooooooo, it hurts so much...my hand hurts so much...]

【yes!Writing brush! ! 】

"You go down first..."

Ying Zheng sighed, he just wanted to be quiet for a while...

"Here!"

Li Jiang agreed happily, and she could just go find some materials and make a brush!

"Wolf hairs... purple hairs... rat hairs... deer hairs... mink hairs..."

"Where do you get your hair..."

Li Jiang thought.

Obviously, rats are the most common, but they are also the hardest to find in Xianyang Palace.

But it’s hard to find but you still have to find it…

So Li Jiang went to the palace room with the silver reward given to her by Ying Zheng, and found the steward in charge of cleaning.

"Hey, what kind of wind brought Changshi Li here?"

Not to mention how sad Manager Zhang was, how lucky he was to rise from a small palace to heaven...

"Manager Zhang, you're fine..."

Li Jiang smiled and took out some coins and stuffed them into Manager Zhang's hands.

"I came here this time to ask my sister for help with something."

Manager Zhang was so sad that she could only say a few sour words.

Now seeing Li Jiang like this, he took the money and muttered: "What's the matter that even Changshi Li can't handle."

"Sister, I want some rat whiskers..."

Manager Zhang shook his hands and looked up at Li Jiang.

"Don't worry, sister, I'm going to make something with my beard, and I'll do it right in front of you, and I won't take the beard away."

Li Jiang was also born in the Sasao Palace, so he naturally knew that some things should never appear in front of nobles.

After that, he gave Manager Zhang some more money and said a lot of good things before Manager Zhang reluctantly nodded.

However, this mouse is not easy to find, especially the beard, which is even more difficult and will take some time.

"Yellow dog, yellow dog, come back soon~"

When Li Jiang came out of the palace room, she saw a yellow Chinese pastoral dog running towards her with its mouth grinning and its tongue hanging out.

Her eyes lit up!It seemed as if she saw countless brushes flying towards her.

yes!Why sacrifice the near for the far!

At this time, when dignitaries went hunting, they almost always brought hunting dogs with them.

Su Dongpo also once said: "I am chatting with young people, holding the yellow on the left and the blue on the right."

The "yellow" here refers to the large yellow dog used for hunting, formerly known as the Chinese Pastoral Dog.

The big yellow dog saw Li Jiang squatting down and pounced on him.

The palace man behind him was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted: "Yellow dog! Come back quickly!"

This yellow dog is extremely ferocious and always accompanies the king when he goes hunting or goes on an expedition.

He even bit a prisoner of war to death while on an expedition.

After the big yellow dog knocked Li Jiang down, it wagged its tail and stuck out its tongue to wash Li Jiang's face.

Li Jiang was wearing the jade ring given to her by Ying Zheng, and she had been with Ying Zheng for a long time, so her body was somewhat tainted with the smell.

"Hahahaha~ Okay, Dahuang, stop making trouble~"

Li Jiang touched Rhubarb’s hair, it was so good, smooth and smooth~

The people in the palace behind saw that Li Jiang was fine, and they all breathed a sigh of relief and paid tribute to Li Jiang one after another.

"Greetings to the regular attendant."

Li Jiang grabbed the chain around Dahuang's neck and waved to several people.

"I will take Dahuang to play for a while, and I will send Dahuang back to you soon."

After returning to his residence and playing with Dahuang for a while, Li Jiang took out the scissors with a malicious smile on his face.

"Hehehe~ Dahuang~ It will be over soon~ There is no pain at all~"

After all, this was Ying Zheng's big yellow dog. Li Jiang found the hairier and smoother part of the tail and clipped it.

He collected the cut hair and combed Dahuang's hair again to cover up the area where the hair had just been shortened.

Li Jiangcai nodded with satisfaction and sent Dahuang away.

Back at his residence, Li Jiang began to pick hair to make a brush, and then took apart the barrel of the pen sharpener.

But after working on it all afternoon, I failed to make the brush in the end.

After eating the evening meal, Li Jiang took the scissors again and set off to Dahuang's residence...

This time she has experience and will cut more hair at a time.

When going to court, the ministers held wat boards in both hands, and Li Jiang also had one in his hand.

There are things that need to be reported to Yingzheng and are engraved with a pen knife on it, similar to the notebooks used in modern meetings.

Li Jiang listened absently to the food raising instructions issued by Ying Zheng in the court, and looked at the shriveled blisters on her hands.

I made up my mind to make a calligraphy brush as soon as possible.

Ying Zheng knew what Li Jiang was doing yesterday, and he didn't expect Li Jiang to really make any contribution to government affairs.

As long as I can give him an early warning of what's going to happen in the future.

As for wanting to play with his yellow dog, Ying Zheng said it didn't matter.

After going to court, Li Jiang wanted to endure the pain in his hand and work, but Ying Zheng informed him that he would have a day off today.

She rushed to Dahuang's kennel in excitement, preparing to take Dahuang back to her residence for research.

The palace servants serving Dahuang in the kennel were a little worried when they saw Li Jiang coming.

"Chang Shi Li, Huang Quan may be sick... We haven't found the cause yet. If Chang Shi gets sick, it would be the slave's fault."

"sick?"

Li Jiang was a little surprised: "Weren't you fine yesterday?"

"Yesterday I found that the yellow dog had some hair loss, and some areas were bald... The veterinarian didn't see anything..."

Li Jiang felt a little guilty, but still shook his head and said: "It's okay, I'll go see the rhubarb, or... how about I take the rhubarb to my place and raise it for two days..."

"Just wait, I'll report it to the king."

[Brother Zheng should allow me to grow rhubarb for two days...]

[If they don’t let me see rhubarb, won’t I be able to make this brush? 】

Thinking about it, Li Jiang turned around and walked to Dayang Palace, preparing to ask Ying Zheng to let her raise rhubarb for two days.

At this time, Ying Zheng had not realized what kind of suffering Li Jiang would bring to his pet dog...
