Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

Go to the capital.

Zhuque Street at the palace gate was closed early, and when the people saw this, they knew that something big was going to happen in the capital again today.

The closure of Zhuque Street means that there is a carriage coming out of the palace and passing through Zhuque Street. It means that the nobles in the palace are traveling, or the army is going to war, and the emperor is giving a farewell party to the generals and soldiers.

There is another possibility, that is, there are envoys from other countries, or officials of the Great Zhou are sent as envoys to other countries.

No matter which possibility it is, it can become a topic of conversation among the people.

The living standards of the people in the capital city are much better than those in the local areas. It is no exaggeration to say that they are as different as heaven and earth. Life is easy, so people naturally like to join in the fun and chat after dinner.

After leaving Zhuque Street, the restaurants on both sides are very lively. There are many people today, and the store owners have specially invited storytellers to tell stories to everyone.

Under normal circumstances, the most expensive place for the two guests in the restaurant would naturally be the side room, but today was different. Today, the seat by the window was the throne that everyone was fighting for.

If for no other reason, it is because from here, if you raise your head, you can see the carriage coming out of Zhuque Street.

"Mr. Liu, didn't you claim that you have been reading books for decades and that any movement in the capital can escape your eyes and ears? Then why don't you tell us what big event is going to happen today and why is Suzaku Street closed?"

A man who looked like a scholar was sitting by the window. Seeing that there was no movement on the street, he couldn't help but feel anxious.

He spent five taels of silver to reserve this seat today. The shop owner was very stingy. For five taels of silver, he could only sit there until noon. If he didn't leave by noon, he would have to order food.

Mr. Liu, who was telling the story, glared at him but did not answer. He continued, "If you were to tell you about the deeds of Earl Yongning when he was young, I could not finish even if I told you for three days and three nights. I do know that Earl Yongning's son..."

"It's open! The Suzaku Gate is open!"

When everyone heard this, they no longer cared about listening to the story and rushed to the window. Even the storyteller stroked his beard and walked over.

He needs to get first-hand information so that he can continue telling stories somewhere else!

The scholar, who was originally happy that he had occupied a good seat, was squeezed against the wall by the crowd and could not even lift his head up.

"Don't push! Don't push! I paid for this seat, are you guys being unreasonable?"

No one cares about him.

"Let me see, let me see, but is it His Majesty's carriage?"

"Stop pushing! The Suzaku Gate has just opened, so you can't see anything! Ouch, who touched my butt? No, men can touch it too!"

......

The palace gate was solemn and dignified. The gatekeepers pushed the gate open from the left and right and stood there with their heads down.

Several horse-drawn carriages drove out of the Suzaku Gate. The palace carriages were luxurious, with two horses driving side by side, and the carriages were very spacious.

A pretty girl lifted the car curtain. She was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a round face, a full forehead, and lively eyes. She glanced outside and then quickly retracted her gaze.

She asked the old man beside her: "Grandfather, why do we have to set out from Suzaku Gate today? Can't we leave quietly?"

Yu Shizhang had his eyes closed to rest, but when he heard his granddaughter's question, he opened his eyes, his eyes full of love.

He waved at the girl and said, "Sit back first. There will be some bumps ahead. It's not safe for you to sit like this."

The girl obediently moved back.

She was the youngest daughter of Yu Zhengqing and his wife, Yu Nanshu.

She has an older brother who is not interested in literature and joined the army at an early age. He vowed that he would not rely on his family and would make a name for himself in the army.

Therefore, in the past few years, she was the only direct descendant of the Yongning Earl's line in the family, and was naturally very much loved.

Yu Zhengqing and his wife were reluctant to take her to Liuyang Mansion to suffer, so they left her in Shangjing. They felt that it was okay for her to suffer a little. Yu Nanshu was still young and a girl, and they were afraid that she would not be able to adapt to the situation there.

There are lots of fun things to do in Beijing. She has close friends and the old man to support her. She can just grow up happily here.

Yu Shizhang patiently taught: "Shu'er, tell grandfather why we are leaving today?"

Yu Nanshu's face showed anticipation, and the dimples at the corners of her mouth made her look very cute. "Of course I'm going to Liuyang Mansion to visit my mother and father!"

Shangjing City is hundreds of miles away from Liuyang Prefecture. If she didn't really miss her mother and father, she would not be willing to sit in a carriage for such a long time. If she continued on this journey, she would probably feel her bones falling apart!

Yu Shizhang smiled helplessly when he heard her answer, "Grandfather knows that Shu'er misses her parents, but Shu'er, tell me why you want to go?"

Yu Nanshu lowered her head and thought carefully, and could not help but frowning. After a moment, she figured out the reason and said, "Because my father has made great contributions as the county magistrate in the prefecture, my grandfather wants to go and announce the reward."

Her eyes were bright, like a cunning little rabbit. "Because my grandfather is going to announce the reward, and the officials from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue are sitting in the carriage behind us, so we will go through the Suzaku Gate to let everyone in the capital know that we are leaving!"

Yu Shizhang nodded with satisfaction, looked at her and said, "Shu'er, the Lady Shen we are going to meet this time is not an ordinary woman. She has made great contributions and is appreciated by His Majesty. His Majesty ordered us to set out from Suzaku Gate in order to spread the word and build momentum for Lady Shen."

The sound of horse hooves clattered, and Yu Shizhang lifted the curtain to look out the window. At this time, the reward convoy had already left the Suzaku Gate and was about to enter Suzaku Street.

Yu Nanshu propped up her chin upon hearing this and tilted her head to look at Yu Shizhang: "Since you want to create momentum, then that Lord Shen will definitely be an important official in the future!"

Yu Shizhang was stunned when he heard this. His granddaughter was always like this. She seemed innocent and naive, but what she said was always to the point in some aspects.

She dares to say what others dare not say, and she can always see through what others cannot see through.

But her innocence cannot be faked.

Yu Shizhang recalled the way the emperor talked about Shen Zheng these days, and said, "If she doesn't make a mistake, it's almost certain."

......

After the convoy entered Zhuque Street, people in the restaurants on the nearby streets could see the convoy clearly.

When everyone saw that it did not look like the emperor's carriage, they could not help but feel confused.

"If it's not the Emperor, then who is the person sitting in the carriage?"

"I don't know who it is, but I know that the person in the first carriage must be a high-ranking official! Does anyone know what happened today?"

Everyone was itching to find out. They struggled to get a good seat, but in the end they didn't get any information at all, and became more and more curious.

A man who looked like a warrior raised his head when he heard this, with a slightly arrogant look on his face.

"Come to think of it, I do know some news. Would you like to hear it?"

Everyone quickly gathered around him, talking at once: "Brother, tell me! Is your information accurate?"

Wu Fu showed a hint of displeasure on his face, and looked at the person who questioned him: "Whether it is accurate or not is not up to me. But my wife's third aunt's uncle's nephew's cousin works as a groom in the official's house, so he knows some information."
