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

Shen Xingjian and Liang Fu were candidates carefully selected by the emperor, so there was no way they would make things difficult for Shen Zheng.

At this point, Yu Zhengqing was happy to have some free time, so he left the backyard of the county government office to Shen Zheng and the other two, and took his old father and daughter to the county school.

"Just now I was saying that Shen Zheng didn't have a mansion. Actually, this is the mansion that the county magistrate hadn't completed. Humph, not bad, isn't it?"

Yu Zhengqing led the two of them through the county school, saying as they walked that this was more than good, his mansion in Liuyang Prefecture was not as good as this "Wei Mansion".

Because the county school did not have a plaque, Yu Shizhang just felt that the interior of the mansion looked a bit strange.

"It does look nice overall, but along the way, there are many houses that are obviously partitioned off from the back. Also, why did they demolish part of the corridor? It ruins the beautiful view. Does Shen Zheng want to move in?"

Yu Zhengqing shook his head and pointed at the part of the corridor that had been demolished. "Shen Zheng wanted to demolish that part, saying it would be more convenient for students to do morning exercises."

"Students? Morning exercise?" Yu Nanshu also became curious. Isn't this an official residence?

"It's a student. Shen Zheng joined forces with the gentry and merchants in the county to transform this unfinished mansion into Tongan County School."

Yu Shizhang was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "If the county wants to develop, it's time to open a county school. Sir, you haven't started teaching yet?"

There was no plaque, no sound of reading, and not even the shadow of a student was seen.

but......

What is that "crunching, sizzling" sound?

The house has been abandoned for too long, it won't...

Is there a mouse?!

Yu Shizhang broke out in a cold sweat.

"It's almost done, father." Yu Zhengqing didn't notice anything unusual about his old father and pointed to the houses in the county school and introduced them to Yu Shizhang.

"This is actually the proper county school, where students study. The teacher was found by my son for Shen Zheng, but the principal of the county school is..."

He was stunned when he said this, and suddenly remembered that he had forgotten something.

Policy essay answer sheet!

Under the astonished gazes of Yu Shizhang and Yu Nanshu, he took out three answer sheets from his arms and stuffed them all at once into Yu Shizhang's hands.

"These are the essays written by three gentlemen in the county when they were bored. Please judge their performance."

Yu Shizhang's hands shook and he subconsciously wanted to throw the answer sheet away.

Well, well, I have spent more than ten or twenty years reading imperial examination papers in the first half of my life. Now that I am about to start living a good life, I am caught off guard and am being held up again!

"No, you have to watch it yourself."

Being rejected was something Yu Zhengqing expected.

But he already had a plan to deal with it, and all it took was a look.

"Grandfather - Grandfather - please, Nan Shu, please help Daddy, Grandfather, you are the best grandfather in the world -"

Yu Nanshu acted coquettishly while swinging around Yu Shizhang's arm.

Yu Zhengqing secretly gave her a thumbs up. After not seeing her for a few years, her skills had improved.

Yu Shizhang was coaxed into feeling sweet inside, but he didn't show it on his face, "Nan Shu, this little traitor, has been with your grandfather for the past few years, but it's not as good as seeing your father today."

Yu Nanshu held Yu Shizhang's hand and said seriously:

"Grandfather sees me every day, but in the past few years, Nan Shu has only looked at Daddy once. Of course, she is very happy. You are the same, right? When you went to Beijing, you kept talking about it. In front of Nan Shu and Grandmother, you said that Daddy was stubborn and insisted on going down to the countryside..."

Yu Zhengqing lowered his eyebrows when he heard this.

As expected, father...still thinks of him this way.

"But at night when you were drinking alone in the courtyard, you would mutter, "I wonder how Daddy is doing in the countryside. When he returns to Beijing, you must drink with him and ask him about his experiences over the past few years."

There were changes on Yu Shizhang and Yu Zhengqing's faces. One blushed with embarrassment, and the other had slightly red eyes.

Yu Nanshu continued to pour the beans:

"You also said that Daddy is worthy of being your offspring, that he knows exactly what he wants and is a real man. You also said that you have actually been in the Shangjing circle for a long time and have warned your colleagues many times, telling them not to... "

"Stop talking!"

Yu Shizhang's face turned red and he covered Yu Nanshu's mouth.

At this moment, he no longer had the majestic aura he had when he got off the carriage just now. He asked angrily:

"When I was drinking in the courtyard, I looked around and saw that I was the only one there. You little girl, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you..."

How could he have heard all the old man’s whispers?

Yu Nanshu grinned: "Nanshu was in the tree, she got there before grandpa. Don't drink for so long next time. Nanshu's butt was numb from sitting that day, and she didn't dare to move."

After she finished speaking, she felt that the atmosphere seemed to be wrong.

The grandfather who loved her the most, and the father who just called her a baby girl, now had anger in their eyes and stared at her with gritted teeth...

"Yu Nanshu! When I'm not in Beijing, you've really gotten bold enough to climb a tree in the middle of the night!"

Yu Nanshu shuddered, feeling that her father's love came and went quickly. She explained, "Dad, no one saw Nanshu climbing the tree. Nanshu is still the image of a lady from a noble family. Don't worry."

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhengqing wanted to pinch Ren Zhong.

"At this point, you still think this is a matter of face for our Bo's Mansion? Yu Nanshu! The Bo's Mansion's courtyard is full of century-old trees with thick and tall trunks. If you fall down, what will happen to your grandparents, me, and your mother?"

Yu Nanshu lowered her head slightly, secretly glanced at Yu Zhengqing, and then quickly retracted her gaze.

"Tell me yourself, if something happens to you after you fall, wouldn't you want our whole family to spend the rest of our lives in tears?"

Yu Nanshu felt that her father had not scolded her for several years. When she met her father today, she wanted to ease the relationship between him and her grandfather, but she didn't expect to get herself involved.

She was in tears and pouted, "Nan Shu won't dare to do that anymore. Daddy, please don't be angry. Nan Shu will never climb a tree again."

Although she looked like Yu Zhengqing, she also inherited her mother's good genes. Now when she cried, she looked so pitiful that Yu Zhengqing and Yu Shizhang felt a pang of pain in their hearts.

Yu Shizhang glared at Yu Zhengqing, blaming him for speaking too harshly.

Yu Zhengqing gritted his teeth. It was indeed a bit heavy, but he did not regret it. He would never, ever joke about his child's safety.

It's okay even if the kids hate him.

"Daddy." Yu Nanshu choked twice and called Yu Zhengqing in a muffled voice, "Why don't you comfort Nanshu? Before you left Beijing, you would comfort Nanshu whenever she cried. Do you have another daughter here?"

Yu Zhengqing: “???”

What does this have to do with anything? He just wants the little girl to learn a lesson!

But seeing Yu Nanshu like this, Yu Zhengqing still felt sad.

He walked forward, wiped away his daughter's tears with his thumb, and said softly:

"It's not that I can't let Nan Shu climb the tree, but when Nan Shu climbs the tree, you need Daddy to watch you from below. Even if there really is someone... Daddy can catch you in time. Do you understand?"
