Chapter 688: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Yao Bo was stunned. What did she just say? She could meet Mr. Qi and even have his token?
Shu Yu smiled at him. "So, are you going to speak up or not? Time waits for no one, and if we wait too long, Uncle Yao might suffer more."
Before Yao Bo could speak, Madam Yao quickly stepped forward and eagerly said, "Yes, yes, my husband has made a farming tool that can irrigate fields and increase crop yields. He wants to give it to Master Qi."
Yao Bo wanted to stop her. Wasn't the lesson from the past deep enough? His father was doing well in the Ministry of Works, but because he created something rare and it became known, it caused trouble and he was exiled to the southwest.
But then he thought again. No matter how good the thing was, it couldn't compare to his father's life.
Therefore, when his mother spoke, he opened his mouth but didn't say anything in the end.
Shu Yu was momentarily stunned by his silence. Irrigating fields?
She had worked on barren land before, so she naturally knew that irrigation tools were not widely used during this period of the Da Su Dynasty.
"What is it?" she asked.
Yao Bo took a deep breath, turned around, and went into the house. After a while, he came out with a small model.
Shu Yu only glanced at it and knew what it was. It was a high rotary plow, indeed an irrigation tool.
In her world, it was a Tang Dynasty irrigation tool. In the Da Su Dynasty, she hadn't seen it yet.
She didn't look at it for long, quickly withdrew her gaze, and said to Yao Bo, "Alright, take this model with you. Let's go to the county government office to find Mr. Qi."
Yao Bo was taken aback. He glanced at Shu Yu and was sure that she had only taken a quick glance and then looked away.
Looking at Lu Erbai, who was a carpenter, he should be more interested in such things, but he also quickly averted his gaze and turned to ask Shu Yu, "Ah Yu, are you sure it's okay to meet Mr. Qi?"
"No problem," Shu Yu shook her head and looked at Yao Bo. "Aren't you coming?"
Yao Bo snapped back to his senses. "Let's go, let's go, we're going."
He quickly put away the model and turned to his mother and wife. "Mother, I'm going to the county government office. Don't worry, Father will be fine. We'll be back soon."
Madam Yao could only nod. "Be careful, and avoid the constables when you go."
"Understood."
Shu Yu led Lu Erbai and Yao Bo as they headed back to the county government office.
The guard at the gate was puzzled to see Shu Yu return. He looked at her strangely. "Miss Lu, do you have more business?"
"Sir, I want to see Mr. Qi," Shu Yu said.
The guard looked hesitant and furrowed his brow. "Miss Lu, the officials and Mr. Qi are busy at the moment. They might not see you. If you don't have something important, it's better to go back first. I'll pass on your message when the officials have some free time."
As he spoke, he glanced at the two people following Shu Yu.
One was the person who had been with her before, and the other... seemed to have come earlier.
What did they want to do?
Shu Yu lowered her head and took out a jade pendant, handing it to the guard in front of her. "This is given to me by Mr. Qi. Could you please deliver it for me? Let him know that I have something very important to discuss with him."
The guard took a look at the jade pendant and hesitated for a moment before accepting it. "Wait here."
He instructed another guard to watch the gate and then turned around to enter the building.
Yao Bo looked at Shu Yu in surprise. She really had Master Qi's token?
