Chapter 29 Rolled up

 "It's really a seed for reading. It's only useful when reading and studying."

Li Yan had enjoyed the benefits brought by his increased wisdom, so he naturally had the idea of ​​a bug.

But I tried many methods but failed. This talent will only take effect when I am reading and in a learning state.

Be content, at least you can still read ancient books that are arranged vertically and have no punctuation marks.

Infected, Qiu Shenji also sat down, opened a book carefully, and started reading.

"zzz...zzz..."

After an unknown amount of time, Qiu Shenji suddenly raised his head and exclaimed, "What time is it now?"

"Soon, you only slept for two hours."

Li Yan, who was reading seriously, didn't even raise his head: "This is a protracted battle. It's time for Brother Qiu to recharge his batteries."

No matter how thick his face was, Qiu Shenji turned red.

Why did you fall asleep?

It's all this book's fault, it's so hypnotic.

Seeing that Li Yan had already put a favorite book in his hand and recorded a lot of things in beautiful handwriting on the paper in front of him, he asked: "Yuanfang, do you have an idea?"

Li Yan shook his head slightly: "I need to understand her ethnic history and cultural customs. This is a huge project, and now it is just the beginning."

Qiu Shenji was speechless: "Isn't this... right?"

Li Yan smiled and continued reading.

He understands the original historical process and has insights beyond the times. This is a greater advantage than copying some poems, especially at the national level.

But precisely because of this, it is necessary to do enough homework in the details to make it effective.

"This kid grew up in a border area, and yet he has such abilities. It's definitely not a fluke!"

What Qiu Shenji hates the most is Confucian scholars who are knowledgeable and poor in scriptures, but thinking about the contribution made by him, he has to admit that this should be useful.

He rolled his eyes and stayed patiently.

Li Yan acted as if no one else was around, constantly enriching himself with knowledge that he could not understand in modern times, and time flew by.

soon.

It’s noon and it’s time to have lunch.

Li Yan did not hesitate and stood up immediately, preparing to go downstairs to the canteen of the Governor's Mansion to cook.

But he said to Qiu Shenji, who also stood up: "Brother Qiu, I will continue to work overtime in the afternoon. If you have anything to do, please do it yourself!"

"work overtime?"

Qiu Shenji was stunned.

This was a strange new word, but he understood the meaning and was greatly shocked.

Qiu Shenji came from Chang'an and had been exposed to the official routine since childhood. It was already noon and he went home to have fun.

Yes, the ministers in Chang'an work until noon and then get off work, so the business hours of the East and West markets are also open at noon.

Get up early and go to court, work in various ministries, have free lunch, and leave the palace in style.

This is the general routine of a day for officials of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, there are busy periods when you stay up all night, but overall, you still have plenty of free time every day.

Even so, in some idle departments, officials often leave early.

Before it even got there, everyone left and was already having fun in the city.

And at this moment.

In the Tang Dynasty, Longyou Road, Liangzhou, the Dudu Mansion, and the library!

One of the Tang Dynasty officials took the initiative to ask to work overtime!

Seeing Li Yan's expression of taking it as a matter of course, Qiu Shenji gritted his teeth: "Yuanfang is so diligent, how dare I not accompany him?"

The two of them had a sumptuous lunch, and after digesting their food, they returned to the house.

Qiu Shenji didn't sleep this time, and even forced himself to read the densely packed words.

At first, I knew most of the words, but I didn't know what they meant when they were put together.

But as I looked at it, I didn’t even seem to recognize the words.

However, Qiu Shenji still forced himself to put forward a few opinions to prove that he was involved.

Li Yan didn't answer a question and didn't pay much attention.

Until the sun sets.

Candlelight lights up.

"You have to work overtime at night?"

Qiu Shenji almost screamed.

Li Yan said seriously: "Intelligence work has always been a race against time, because we don't know when Liniang's superiors and subordinates will realize her arrest. We must pry out the information as quickly as possible. I want to stay, Brother Qiu."

Please help yourself!"

Qiu Shenji closed his eyes slightly.

In his mind, his father's decrepit appearance appeared.

Qiu Shenji's father, Qiu Xinggong, was a famous general around Li Shimin, and the Qiu family also came from a family of military generals.

It's a pity that Qiu Xinggong was the concubine of a concubine. He relied on military merit to work hard, had a cruel temperament, low emotional intelligence, and had a very poor relationship with his colleagues. Later, even Li Shimin hated him. He could not bring much protection to his children, and his reputation was greater than his reality.

Qiu Shenji was not the eldest son yet, so he inherited even less kindness. To a certain extent, he was very similar to Li Yan at this time. His parents and ancestors were prominent, but they did not really bring much help, so they had to rely on themselves.

"I work overtime!"

As a result, Qiu Shenji's face showed perseverance, and he uttered three words with high morale.

Li Yan had already placed a glass of buttermilk beside him and continued reading.

Read a book, read a newspaper, sit there all day long.

He is a veteran cadre of the agency.

It's a pity that there is no maid with a breathtaking voice to serve. When you are tired, you can put a knee pillow and squeeze your shoulders, which is called enjoyment.

If this kind of work intensity can be called overtime, then how will it really be in 996 in future generations?

If you mix for enough time, it’s the best way to fish!

Combining the two hidden talents of [Scroll King] and [Salary Thief], that is the way to go.

Li Yan was working overtime in a happy mood, while next to him was the future cool employee who was suffering extremely.

Finally, when the clock started to sound, Li Yan stood up and said, "Let's go back!"

Qiu Shenji stood up, with a smile that was one-third as if he had been granted an amnesty, one-third relaxed and the other four impatient: "Yuanfang, I'll take my leave now!"

"Well, come back tomorrow."

Li Yan nodded and walked out of the room gracefully.

Behind him was Qiu Shenji, whose smile instantly solidified.

Is this just the beginning?



Internal guard station.

Qiu Ying looked at the haggard Qiu Shenji and said in astonishment: "How did you end up like this in just five days?"

"me……"

Qiu Shenji's face was full of shame.

"Oh, you..."

There is a difference between closeness and distance. Li Yan is Li Jing's direct grandson and an outsider, while Qiu Shenji is his nephew. Qiu Xinggong also took good care of his younger brother who was also a commoner. Qiu Ying naturally hopes that Qiu Shenji will be more promising.

But the reality is that the gap between the two of them is really big. They can't even take credit so reluctantly, which makes Qiu Ying very disappointed. He said earnestly: "The saint reopened the inner guard and allowed me to do things easily. The positions of the martial guards under his command can be taken by myself."

Decision, but the saint’s generosity is a gift from heaven, but I cannot overstep it in the slightest.”

"The quota for each Wu Dewei is not given randomly. Xiao Ling's support within the clan has solved the urgent need. Yuan Fang has discovered the identity of the secret agent. Regardless of merit, he will be indispensable in Chang'an. My role is just to shorten the time

Process, but you have not made any achievements..."

"Uncle Third, do you know how hard he works!"

But Qiu Shenji was about to cry: "He reads ancient books every day for six hours without rest except for lunch!"

"Six hours?"

Qiu Ying took a breath when he heard this, and suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.

He couldn't sit still anymore and murmured: "Sure enough, there is no luck in success. The juniors have worked so hard, how can I rest?"

He immediately stood up, looked at the lazy-looking Qiu Shenji, and shouted with hatred:

"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Go to work!"

***The author has something to say***

Thanks to book friend "Feng Yu Wu Fei" for the reward.
