Quick, I don't want to be in love anymore

Chapter 282: Love in the Sadistic Story (29)

Soon, the results of the palace examination came out, and Shen Huaizhi won the third place as expected.

The top two candidates were both already married and had children, so he, a student with a good family background and good looks, naturally became a hot commodity in the eyes of those who were looking for a son-in-law.

Before conferring the title of palace upon them, Zhou Chengyun thought for a long time and finally decided to keep Shen Huaizhi in the capital and arrange him into the Hanlin Academy. For all the students, the Hanlin Academy is indeed a good starting point. As the saying goes, there is no cabinet without Hanlin, so this can be regarded as an early reward for Shen Su.

After all, Shen Su is already a princess now, and I have left her a promise that has not yet been fulfilled. If I only reward her with some gold, silver and treasures this time, it would seem that I am too stingy.

Zhou Chengyun really couldn't think of what reward he could give her, so he turned his attention to the other people in the Shen family.

As for what Shen Su said about a drought in May, he already believed it about 70%.

As soon as the appointment was made, the Prime Minister's Mansion became even more lively. After all, everyone with eyes knew that as long as Shen Huaizhi did not bring about his own destruction, with the emperor's favor and the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he would surely rise to a high position in the future.

As they expected, the rainfall in the north was already low in May, and this year it was unusually low.

There was not a drop of rain for several months in a row. The once green fields became dry and cracked, the soil was as hard as stone, and the cracks crisscrossed, as if the earth was wailing silently.

The crops withered under the scorching sun, the leaves curled, and they lost their former vitality. The sunlight was dazzling and scorching.

The water levels in wells and rivers have dropped dramatically, and in some places they have even dried up, exposing the rocks in the riverbed.

Fortunately, in recent years, due to the promotion of sweet potatoes and potatoes, grain harvests have gradually achieved bumper harvests.

Zhou Chengyun also gave orders early on, asking people from all over the country to make preparations and store food in advance. He even sent people to build large and small reservoirs to store some water in advance.

The people conserved this water and struggled to get by. It wasn't until the following year that a few raindrops, mixed with snowflakes, finally fell on the ground, finally ending the year-long drought. A long-awaited downpour descended on this thirsty land, nourishing every inch of the ground. Cracks gradually healed, and the soil became soft and moist once again.

The air is filled with the fresh scent of earth and new plants, bringing hope and comfort to people.

The people stood in the rain, letting the rain wet their faces and clothes, their faces filled with long-lost smiles.

The children ran and played in the rain, enjoying this gift from nature.

"Miss, there seems to be someone in the alley."

Recently, Shen Su brought people out to inspect the store from time to time, but unexpectedly something happened on the way back.

She gently lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked in the direction of Dongzhi's finger. She saw a red ball in the alley. If she looked closely, she could see that it was a person.

"Host, host, this is the prince of the Jade Kingdom who deceived the original owner in the original text."

"Shen Cheng, go and bring the person over."

Hearing the sudden reminder from 011, Shen Su directly sent someone to bring him over and return to the Prime Minister's Mansion together.

Although the original owner did not have any related tasks for the person who deceived him, as a princess of Wei State and a good citizen who loves the country!
How could Shen Su allow a prince from an enemy country to travel around David?
After bringing him back, she directly ordered that he be sent to Shen Heng, and then she strolled leisurely in the garden with small steps.
