Ayu stayed in the Astrology Department in the end, because she was about to turn around to leave when she heard four loud "plops".

Looking back, the four of them were kneeling neatly in front of him, and the Commander named Xie Zhen was even more weeping.

【…】Even Tuanzi was shocked, how could this person shed so many tears and snot in just a few breaths?

If this person is introduced to the system world, those movie star growth systems will definitely go crazy.

A natural showman, this is it!

Ayu wanted to step forward to pull these people up, but the court lady Liu Fang moved nimbly, and rushed over to help them up.

It would be a big problem if Mr. Yuxiang went to pull people in person.

Ayu had no choice but to say: "What is this for? You all stand up quickly, and say what you have to say."

"Mr. Yuxiang, please take pity on me!" Xie Zhen didn't care about the dignity of a middle-aged man, sobbing, while speaking clearly, "This is already the tenth job we've recruited. It’s getting old, I think back then, I was also a young man like a flower, but in the past 10 years, we have not been able to find new colleagues. Those people are either liars or lazy. Can't even pass the test!

"In the past ten years, in order to keep the Astrology Department, everyone has been exhausted physically and mentally, but there is nothing they can do. Moreover, the superiors have already said that if we still only see us old bones, we will directly tear down our Astrology Department. There are old and young, where can orphans and widows go? Officials who are kicked out by the court, don’t they have a dead end?!”

Not to mention Ayu, even Liufang, the court lady, has never seen this kind of battle. I only heard that the Department of Astrology is the most insignificant department in the entire imperial city, but I didn’t hear that there are a group of abnormal brains locked up here. people.

If others come to see such a department, why don't they run away quickly?

Lest I also be tired and go crazy.

How precious is the status of Xiangjun, even if he was appointed just now, he must have been a daughter in the past, how could he live here?

"What about you?" Ayu didn't directly refuse, but looked at the remaining three people.

The remaining three people are not considered serious astrologers.

One is Uncle Luo, the cook, the other is the fat aunt who sweeps, and the last one is Xie Zhen's apprentice, named Xie Guixin.

Uncle Luo is less than thirty, Fat Aunt Fang is thirty-two, Xie Guixin has just reached the crown, and it is said that his wife has not yet been found.

Xie Guixin originally planned to go to Puji Temple, but was dragged into the Department of Astrology by Xie Zhen on the way, and he did not make much progress in the past ten years.

Fortunately, in a sense, the Department of Astrology and Puji Temple have the same effect through different routes. They are both quiet and not disturbed by external objects, and are very suitable for cultivating the mind.

Ayu had heard that this department was dying, but he didn't expect it to wither like this, only two full-time employees?

"You don't know, although our Astrology Department has been quiet these years, it was once famous in the ancestors, and even overwhelmed the Ministry of Rites. At its peak, from one end to the other, there were more than ten halls. There are nearly a thousand colleagues in the Department of Astrology!" Xie Zhen said with a sigh of emotion, "It's only been more than 200 years, and it has become like this, alas."

[…] Tuanzi rolled his eyes in the space.

Judging by your tone, I thought it was 20 years ago!

For more than 200 years, when I met a weak dynasty, I didn't know how many leaderships I changed!

Ayu was also very speechless, but she didn't come here to achieve fame, but to find a source for Jiulong Baoding. The Department of Astrology has such a glorious past, maybe it can come in handy.

"I want to ask, do you have any records about the Astrology Department's previous records?" Seeing that Xie Zhen was still talking, Ayu hurriedly interrupted him by raising his palm.

If he didn't interrupt, Xie Zhen might be able to talk until dark.

"Yes, yes, there are not many other things in our astrology department, but there are many books, and I don't know how much I have accumulated from my ancestors!" Xie Zhen hurriedly led Ayu to one of the rooms.

I took out the key and opened it, and it was really full of big wooden boxes, one on top of the other, filling up the whole room.

"This is the accumulation of past generations." Xie Zhen said, opened the outermost box, and took out a yellowed book from it.

With a shake, one of the fragile pages fell off.

"...Ahem, it's just a small accident. These books are made of very special trees, which are relatively easy to damage, so we usually don't open them unless we need to study them." Xie Zhen said, carefully Take the book out and put it on the table outside.

Turning over the first page, there are a bunch of ghostly characters written on it, and he said to Ayu: "This is where the capital of our astrology department lies. Xiangjun is talented and intelligent. As long as you read all the books here, you will be considered a member." Door."

Not to mention, they themselves haven't finished watching it yet.

It's not that I'm stupid, but that this book is rather weird, and it makes people sleepy after reading a few pages, and there is no explanation, so I have to understand it by myself. If you use your brain too much, you will easily get confused.

"Is it the script of the ancestors, or the cursive script?" Ayu didn't have much hope at first, but when he saw the first page, he became interested.

She had studied this kind of writing for a while.

"Xiangjun really understands?!" This time, not only Xie Zhen, but even Xie Guixin who hadn't spoken much opened his mouth in surprise. He didn't expect this young and deceitful (crossed out) Xiangjun , I really have some skills.

Ah Yu really knew each other, that's what they learned during their study tour.

At that time, shortly after they passed through Huangsha City, they came to a relatively backward nomadic tribe. The tribe is also special than other tribes. They have a fixed residence in autumn, and there are many words like this on the walls there.

Of course Ayu couldn't learn it, so Tuanzi scanned the writing on the wall, found a partner who was good at linguistics on the World Channel in the mall, and deciphered it for her.

Later, when Ayu was idle and bored, he learned this script.

Compared with Dachang's well-formed script, the ancestors' script has relatively few characters, only about a hundred in total, and most of them are assisted by graphics.

"Since Mr. Xiang can understand, can you give me a little explanation?" Xie Guixin said in a respectful tone.

Ayu nodded, pointed to the first line of words, and slowly translated: "The first sentence says that this is a recipe I got during my travels, and I will record it after copying it."

Division of Astrology and others: "..." Recipe? !

Wait, isn't this "Astrology Book"? Then they have been studying this for several years, and wrote the footnote...

Ayu asked Xie Zhen to take a few books to read. Some of them were scriptures, some were long-lost music scores, some were about how to take care of children, and some were about parenting.

【puff. 】

[Bao, look at their expressions. 】

Ayu looked up, and saw a few people who seemed to be petrified, and blinked: "What's wrong with you?"

"Plop!"

"Plop!"

Xie Zhen and Xie Guixin knelt down sincerely, and saluted in unison: "Xiangjun, teach me to wait!"

Ayu: "..."

In this way, Ayu joined the Department of Astrology, and at Xie Zhen's weeping request, he was awarded the title of Commander of Astrology, which turned out to be a fifth rank!

This is also the only department that can determine positions internally without assessment.

Ayu originally disagreed, until Xie Zhen said to her: "The commander of astrology can go to the court, regardless of gender, you don't have to go if you don't want to go. By the way, the salary also includes 50 acres of official land, one of which is in the small palace. In the imperial garden, that is, the vegetable garden you saw when you came here, you can plant it as you like."

Ayu: "Since you have seniors and juniors, you should keep this salary, I—"

She wanted to say that although she liked the field she had given away, she was not in short supply of the money.

In the end, Xie Guixin added from the side: "Master is an old man, but the old man is his grandfather, Mr. Xie Ge who has retired. Master's father is the richest man in Linkong City, and half of the shops in Linkong City are owned by his family." There is a younger brother, the younger is his nephew and niece, the nephew received an errand to be an official in another place last year, and the niece married the eldest prince."

Then, Xie Guixin paused, and pointed to himself: "Orphan."

Pointing to Xie Zhen again: "Widowed mother."

In the Department of Astrology, the salary mixed with the fifth rank depends on each other.

Ayu: "..." She was worrying too much.
