Chapter 128 Look, there is a social phobia here
Amid the little princess's chattering, Mo Gong heard two words clearly.
Ministry of Industry.
"Are you from the imperial court?"
Mo Gong looked around, as if he wanted to run away.
Lin Yao had only seen this feeling of being guilty like a thief in some underworld figures.
"It is."
A Crown Princess and a Princess Royal can be considered as half of the court.
After getting the answer, Mo Gong became obviously more nervous.
【What are you afraid of? 】
Ji Qionghua was puzzled. Why did this man look like the criminal on the wanted list and wanted to run away as soon as he heard that someone from the imperial court was coming?
Of course, he is afraid of being exposed.
Mo Gong thought to himself.
He still couldn't accept the strange thing of being able to hear the inner voice of a little kid.
He distanced himself from Ji Qionghua, patted his head, and tried to wake himself up from his dream.
The funny behavior made the little princess laugh so hard that her nose was covered with snot bubbles.
【Huh. 】
The self-loathing little princess wiped her nose secretly.
[You came to the capital to play hide and seek. ]
[A few years ago, Mo Gong improved the windmill for farmland irrigation in Jiujiang County, which led to a significant increase in grain production that year.]
[Officials in Jiujiang County were overjoyed and spread the news of Mo Gong's abilities everywhere.]
[From that day on, countless people came to him for help every day, and Mo Gong couldn't stand it anymore and ran to the capital. ]
[He also heard that Yinyang Lane was the place that was least disturbed, so he spent money to move here.]
Lin Yao was quite puzzled.
According to Qiong Huaer, Mo Gong did good things that benefited the people.
If it were anyone else, they would wish everyone was like that.
Why is Mo Gong doing the opposite? Is he really indifferent to fame and fortune?
[I think you can understand that.]
Ji Qionghua swung her short legs and stared at Mo Gong.
【This is indeed difficult for people with social phobia. 】
When Mo Gong thought about being asked by a group of people every day how to modify the farm tools, he probably wanted to escape underground.
He was harassed there for three months and ran away because he couldn't stand it anymore.
Before leaving, he also left behind some drawings for improving agricultural tools, which led to higher grain yields in Jiujiang County in recent years.
"you……"
Mo Gong stared at Ji Qionghua, wanting to say something but stopping himself. His conflicted look was particularly pitiful.
He really wanted to ask the other party how he knew everything.
"Mo Gong, are you okay?"
A voice came from the door. It was an old beggar. He stood there with a cane, looking at Mo Gong with concern.
Lin Yao noticed that the other party's peripheral vision was always looking towards a certain place in the alley.
"Cuckoo, cuckoo!"
There was a sound of birds chirping in the box. It was the secret guard delivering a message.
There are people coming around.
Lin Yao locked her sights on the old beggar without leaving a trace. Although he looked dirty, his sharp eyes were not something that an ordinary beggar could have.
Although Yinyang Lane is a lawless area, it actually has its own class system.
Among them, this old beggar should be the best.
It seems that the other party is very caring towards Mo Gong. If Mo Gong shows any fear, he might have to fight his way out today.
[No, it's winter now, where does the cuckoo's call come from? ]
[What's wrong with Father's secret guards? They are totally incompetent.]
The little princess complained mercilessly.
There's no way to modify this code.
Mo Gong looked at Ji Qionghua deeply and shook his head at the old beggar at the door.
"Mr. Ge, I'm fine. These are guests."
Here, he often makes some small gadgets and lets some people in Yinyang Lane sell them to make a living.
In return, he gained protection from the people in Yinyang Lane.
"Oh, that's good."
Mr. Ge smiled and said, "It's really lively today. There is a group of people outside who are also looking for you."
"Well, here it comes."
As he spoke, five people appeared at the door. The clothes worn by the leader were not of the best material, but they were also something that not everyone could afford.
The meticulous temperament makes it easy to guess the other person's identity.
He is the housekeeper of a wealthy family.
The housekeeper was also slightly surprised when he came in and saw two people, one big and one small, in the room.
His eyesight was sharp enough to tell that the clothes on Lin Yao were extraordinary. Not knowing the other person's identity, the butler nodded politely and went straight to the point.
"Mr. Mo, what do you think of what our master said before?"
The butler was very respectful to Mo Gong and leaned forward to ask.
He even waved his hand, signaling the people behind him to put the things they brought on the table.
As the red silk was opened, Ji Qionghua's eyes were blinded by the ingots of gold.
【Wow.】
Ji Qionghua sat obediently on the chair, without blinking.
The money-grubbing look of this little guy made Mo Gong afraid that the other party would just take the gold for himself.
I have to say that the other party was very generous. The man here had at least a hundred taels of gold. Anyone who could afford such a high price must be asking for a lot from Mo Gong.
"Our master also said that this is just the betrothal gift. If you are willing to come to our Han's Woodworking Shop to be a teacher, the monthly salary can be negotiated."
"If the finished product sells well, you can get some commission."
The housekeeper lured him slowly.
This treatment is really good.
【Han's Woodworkshop. 】
Ji Qionghua dragged out the words.
[A century-old shop that specializes in wood carving. A month ago, a piece of ebony carving was auctioned for a thousand taels of gold.]
[And the ebony sculpture was sold at a high price because the craftsmanship was improved after Mo Gong's instruction.]
[They want to hire Mo Gong to teach the apprentices at the wood workshop. ]
Han's Woodworkshop is very famous in the capital. Some of the royal family's collections in recent years have included wood carvings from this family.
In the capital, this family's wood carvings are very popular.
Especially for those who like wood carving, the products produced by Han's Woodworkshop are the best choice.
This is easy to understand.
With the blessing of exquisite craftsmanship, brand products will have some premium, and the premium of luxury goods she has seen is even more terrifying.
If the craftsmanship can be even better, the status of Han's Woodworkshop in the capital will be unmatched by other wood carving industries.
Now it was Lin Yao's turn to say something.
After understanding the importance of Mo Gong, how can we watch an all-round craftsman who is more suitable to benefit the people become a woodcarver?
"I haven't thought about it yet."
Mo Gong said in a low voice.
In fact, he really wanted to refuse, but he was afraid of being pestered by the person in front of him, so he could only give a perfunctory response.
"Mr. Mo, please let us know if you have any requests. Our master said that as long as you are willing, we can agree to any request."
The housekeeper patted his chest and made the assurance, while taking the opportunity to peek at Lin Yao.
He felt that this person was here to snatch people from him.
[Say yes, it's a lot of money. ]
Ji Qionghua tried hard to push the plate with gold towards Mo Gong.
[It’s good to join the Han family. You will change from a socially anxious person to a social animal. Although the treatment at the Han family wood workshop is good, it is a high-pressure job.]
[Those craftsmen can only rest one day a month. ]
【If you can’t kill me, do it to death. 】
[But when you become a master, you will definitely be able to relieve the pressure on those craftsmen. ]
[It's just that Mr. Han has already prepared a plan to exploit you. ]
[One big lesson every three days, one small lesson every day. Just teach them step by step every day. Who knows, you might even get a banner for being a good teacher. ]
The little princess was laughing secretly, and her foxy appearance made Mo Gong imagine the kind of life full of resentment.
