"That's great, mother. You're so good!"
"Mother, go get the painting." As she spoke, she got up and went to look for the painting.
I ran to the embroidery rack to choose the color.
The silk was dark green, so it would only look good if it was embroidered in a light color! That light green color can be used to embroider spider plants, that light yellow color can be used to embroider leaf tendons, that pearl white and crescent white can be used to embroider spider plants, and this bean green color is also quite good to embroider the position of the shadow.
Just as I was debating which color to choose, my mother came back with the painting.
"What are you doing? Staring at the thread in a daze?"
"I'm not daydreaming. I'm thinking about what color to use!”
"Yes, yes, yes. You're thinking about it. Come, let's think about it together.”
After saying that, she came over to pick a lane with me.
"How about using this tender green to embroider leaves? There was also this light yellow embroidery of leaf tendons, this pearl white and crescent white embroidery, and this bean green embroidery of shadows!”I pointed out the colors that I had thought of just now.
"Isn't it too gorgeous to use light green? Pea green was not bad, but the color of the leaf tendon was fine. How about this color? This was even lighter than the color of bean green.”
"This color is close to bean green, but it's a little blue. It looks good, but I don't know how the embroidery will look. Anyway, it's an experiment.”
"Hmm, that's true. This piece of silk is enough for two scarves. Take it and try it!”
"Mother, I'll help you cut the silk.”I said happily.
"You go first. Cut a thread for me first and I'll embroider it first.”
"Good!" When I was splitting the thread, my mother went to study the painting. She was probably studying where to start!
The mother and son's research on embroidery was not mentioned for the time being.
Fu Liangcheng came to the yamen's household registration department today. Because he had already completed his employment yesterday, he would be assigned work today. These people were responsible for the household registration, management, and admission work. The supervisor was the main registrar surnamed Qu.
The common people called these people the local governors.
Since today was his first day, Fu Liangcheng was mainly familiarizing himself with the environment and understanding the work content, helping others. In this place, as long as you could read and write, it was fine. You didn't need to have good handwriting or writing skills. It was the same theory examination, but the names and addresses were different. It was a good place to dawdle. Of course, there was no big development!
The entire morning was spent strolling around, drinking tea, and chatting. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After lunch, a small general came to the army, causing the leisurely days of the Ministry of Revenue to come to an end.
"Everyone is here! I'll inform everyone that I have something to tell everyone in the hall.”Bookkeeper Qu came to the place where everyone was drinking tea and said a few words before going to the Hall of Rites.
"What happened?" Someone spoke up as soon as Bookkeeper Qu left.
"I'm not sure. What big deal can it be? We're not constables who can solve cases!”A person said nonchalantly!
"That's true. We're just a few people who can't carry a burden. What can happen?”
"What's the point of talking about it? If they want us to go, then go. They might even let us rest. My child's school has already told us that it's a holiday! Haha."
"Let's go and listen.”
Everyone walked leisurely while whispering.
"Everyone is here! I invited everyone here today because I have a big matter that requires everyone's help! I hope everyone won't delay it.”Seeing that everyone had arrived, registrar Qu said slowly. His tone was very polite and a little tough.
"I don't dare, I don't dare. Lord registrar, please give us your orders!”After hearing the registrar's words, the oldest person in the group replied.
"Then I won't beat around the bush with you. Just now, our Annan General received a report from a spy that a spy had mixed in with the refugees and entered our prefecture with ill intentions. Now, the general has arranged for the soldiers to go with us to check if there are any suspicious people. The soldiers will arrive soon. I will split everyone into groups. Each of you will bring 20 soldiers to verify.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a young general came in with a few attendants.
"Little General Wu, you're here. I've already told them that we'll split up in a while?”When Bookkeeper Qu saw who it was, he took the initiative to win.
"Of course, the sooner the better!" The person replied.
Fu Liangcheng took a look and saw that the person who had come was Wu Jiang, the son of Wu Jiaqing, one of the three capable generals under the King of An 'nan. This Wu Jiang was in charge of collecting intelligence and managing scouts.
"This matter is too urgent, so let's not talk nonsense. Let's start dividing up Bookkeeper Qu now! My men will protect your safety. Don't be afraid. If you find any problems, just point them out. My men will take care of them.”Little General Wu promised.
"Yes, yes, please rest assured, little general. We will definitely cooperate fully!”The one who spoke was the oldest.
"Everyone, go to the courtyard. Old Li, bring a few people to bring the household registration book.”
"Sigh, I'll have to trouble the generals to move with me. There might be a lot of them in the entire prefecture!”
"The five of you go help!"
"It's the general!" The five of them replied in unison.
"General, look. Other than the two who went to the town on business and didn't come back, all of us are here. There are a total of 16 people.
This is the layout map of our prefecture. We are divided into five major regions: East, South, West, North, and Central. The west and north have the most population.”Bookkeeper Qu pointed at a picture.
"The refugees are more or less gathered in these two areas. Also, this South District is an Laocheng District with complicated streets and old houses. Some of the houses that have been in disrepair for a long time have been occupied by many refugees.”
"Then let's focus on these three districts first! The other districts can't slack off either!"
"Yes, yes!
Come, Old Hu, come over first. Your house is in the east. You're familiar with this. You can go to Dongmao. Li Baixin, you go to the west side of the Great Barrier. Wu Dasong, you go.
The assigned people went to get the household registration books that belonged to their own areas.
"We have already sealed the city, so we are not afraid of these spies escaping. Before the martial law, everyone can go to as many houses as they can! This Wu thanks everyone. Here is a token. Everyone take one. When you go out and show your token, soldiers will follow you!”After saying that, he took out 20 tokens that were the length of a thumb and the width of two fingers.
Everyone took out their household registration book and charcoal pencil.(This charcoal pencil was not available in the common people's homes. It was specially used by the yamen. There were black and red ones. The production method was unknown. The red one was usually used to cross out the name when someone died. The black one was used for field records.)）After receiving the token, he went out to retrieve the person.
Fu Liangcheng also received his book and token. His district was the Dongcheng Area, which was also the district of his father-in-law's house.
Fu Liangcheng walked out of the government office and saw a few groups of soldiers standing neatly outside. He took the sign and walked over to show it to a centurion. When the centurion saw the sign, he called out a group of people to follow them and took back the sign.
When Fu Liangcheng saw the team leader assigned to him, his heart calmed down. This team leader was someone he knew.
In front of everyone, Fu Liangcheng didn't say anything immediately and only left with his men.
After walking quite a distance away, the two of them leaned closer and whispered,"Why are you here?”
"My father-in-law found me an official position. Today is the first day of my official career! I didn't expect to meet you here. Why did you become a scout?”
"No, we're still city guards. We're on loan. Aren't we supposed to go wherever we need to go now?”
The two of them talked as they walked.
