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

The sun was rising beside the field, and the morning light shone on Li Leyou's face.

She lowered her head, and her scattered hair blocked her eyes, making it difficult for Zhou Lizheng and others to see her expression.

All they could see was that she was nervous.

Her hands had been rubbing the edge of the linen shirt at her side, and the already worn shirt was twisted into a ball.

Zhou Lizheng was anxious and urged, "Why don't you want to study in the county school? Don't you want to be like the adults and become a female official respected by the people?"

grown ups.

Li Leyou's heart trembled.

Shen Zheng's image involuntarily appeared in her mind.

When the lord tried a case, his voice was stern and his face was stern; when the lord encountered problems, he was calm and composed; when the lord taught the people in the county, he spoke eloquently.

Every look of the adults was as clear as if engraved in her mind, making her admire them and yearn for them.

But how can someone like her be mentioned together with someone as bright as the moon?

That is...that is a disgrace to the adults.

"Zhou Lizheng, I... I may not be able to become a great man like you, I... I just want to weed the fields well, wait for the vegetables to grow up, and then sell them to make some money..." Li Leyou said.

"what?!"

Zhou Lizheng screamed, "You have a great opportunity, and you only want to farm?!"

He felt unconfident for a moment because he remembered what the adults had said.

"Everyone has their own aspirations."

Whether you are farming, being a craftsman, studying, or being an official, as long as you like it and feel comfortable doing it, that's fine.

So for Li Leyou, reading is just a hobby in her spare time, but farming is her dream?

For a moment, Zhou Lizheng began to doubt himself and his life.

He asked uncertainly: "So, your dream... is to farm?"

But he rejected himself in a moment, "How is it possible? If you don't like reading, how could you secretly borrow books from Zhang Yuanwei? How could you walk from our village to Qingyuan Village to borrow books from He Xuezi? You are lying!"

Mother Li covered her mouth when she heard this.

There was a light in her eyes that Zhou Lizheng and the others could not understand.

"You, you also went to Qingyuan Village to borrow books from the scholars there? You...why didn't you tell mother that you like reading so much..."

"Mother." Li Leyou raised his head with a forced smile on his face.

"My daughter doesn't really like reading, she just reads it to kill time in her free time," she said.

"you are lying!"

Zhang Yuanwei, who was standing nearby, couldn't hold it in any longer and yelled.

"If you don't like reading, why would you cook? How can you light the fire? How can you read while tending the fields?"

Li Leyou was struck by lightning, his eyes widened as he asked, "How did you know..."

After Zhang Yuanwei yelled, he put down his food and said in a low voice:

"I have a very good nose. I can smell the smell of food, wood stove ash, and grass and soil. The book you returned has all these smells... In the pages with the strongest smells, you frequently asked me for my opinion on them."

"I……"

Li Leyou had no way to defend himself.

"Let's go!" Zhou Lizheng couldn't stand when he heard that.

"Come with us, no matter what you are worried about, the county school starts today, let's go and register first! If you have any difficulties, come back and Brother Zhou will find a solution for you, we will solve it together!"

"Yes." Zhang Yuanwei took a step forward.

"Li Leyou, please come with us first. If you don't go, we will be late."

"Happy travel."

Mother Li wiped away her tears.

"Listen to Li Zheng Zhou. Since you love studying and adults have given us this opportunity, we can't give it up easily."

After she said this, she seemed to have thought of something and suddenly smiled: "Maybe my daughter can really be like you, study hard, become a high-ranking official, and benefit the people?"

Li Leyou felt his fingertips going numb, and his heart was being pulled back and forth, as if he was trapped in a vicious circle.

Her fingertips turned white from pinching herself, and after a moment, she found a decent excuse for herself.

"If your daughter goes to school, what will you do? What will your father do? What will happen to the family land?"

"When my daughter is here, she can take care of the family with you, but if she goes to the county school, even if she can rush home in the evening, the burden of the family will still fall on you alone..."

"Don't worry about these!"

Zhou's mother suddenly became a little angry, but she was angry at herself and this family that had finally returned to normal.

"mother!"

Li Leyou also became excited.

"My father wanted to study at that time, but in the end he didn't even pass the exam to become a student, and his eyes were burned by fire! My grandparents also blamed my father for draining the family's savings and leaving the family land in ruins. He didn't make any progress in his studies, and instead didn't get any good things out of it!"

Mother Li staggered on the spot and opened her mouth, but no word came out.

Zhou Lizheng was looking at Li Leyou with surprise in his eyes.

He asked, "What did you say just now? Your father's eyes were burned by fire? Wasn't his eyes broken when he fell in the fields at night?"

Li Leyou realized that he had said the wrong thing and his lips trembled.

Her father's eyes were burned by fire. When her grandparents were alive, they told no one to mention the fact and to keep it to themselves.

No one in Nanba Village knew that my father had no talent for studying.

Her father, Li Han, has been interested in reading since he was a child. He learned a few words from others and recited them every day.

Her grandparents were overjoyed. They felt that a golden boy had appeared in the family and that her father would be able to make a fortune and lead the Li family to great success.

So as long as the family saved some money at that time, her grandparents would send her father to the old boy student in Quanyang County to study and learn to read.

In fact, her father just liked reading, but he had no talent for it.

But the old student is also a black-hearted person.

The old scholar's knowledge was not that good and he had a strange temper. Which rich family would send their children to study there?

All those who were sent to him were from poor families who had no money in their pockets but wanted their children to go to school. They all had this dream.

Therefore, the old student especially "cherishes" every disciple, to the extent that...

So much so that her father, who had no talent for studying, became a potential scholar in the eyes of the old student.

But her grandparents were very happy.

My father said that he had never seen my grandparents laugh so happily, so he actually had a very poor education and it was difficult for him to speak the first time. After that, he couldn’t speak anymore.

In this way, the word "reading" was originally my father's hobby.

In the end, it turned into a waste of time and a shackle.

A true academic genius, like Principal Li’s disciple named Pei, passed the examination for a tongsheng when he was just over ten years old.
