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

Shuang'er couldn't help but tremble a little.

When she was a child... no, even before today, she had never thought that Lord Shen would personally attend her wedding and even give his blessings.

It's like a dream, happy and beautiful, but unreal.

But now, the gift from Lord Shen was in her hands. It was clearly a wooden box, and it was clearly the beginning of autumn, which was gradually getting cooler, but she felt her palms were getting warm.

"Don't just stand there, my lady." Xiao Yuan stared at the small wooden box in her hand and urged, "I'm so curious, open it quickly!"

Shuang'er lowered her head and gradually applied force to her thumb, "Then I open it?"

"open!"

"Click--" the small lock of the wooden box popped open, and a dazzling golden light suddenly fell into the eyes of the two.

"Hiss——" After Shuang'er saw the object inside clearly, her hand shook and the wooden box fell directly onto the bed. After a "click", the wooden box closed by itself, locking the golden light in the box.

"Husband..."

She covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes gleaming with disbelief, "I... I am not seeing things, Lord Shen! She actually gave us gold!"

Xiao Yuan's reaction was even more intense than hers. He picked up the wooden box, looked around and said in panic, "No! This is too valuable, we have to return it to the adults! I will go to the county government tomorrow!"

"Yes, yes!" Shuang'er patted her chest and nodded randomly, "How can we just accept such a valuable item! Quick, quick, put it under the pillow, don't lose it!"

Xiao Yuan was about to hide the wooden box as she said, but suddenly he seemed to think of something and asked, "Madam, if I am not mistaken, there was a piece of paper inside the wooden box just now?"

Sir, do you have anything to say to them?

Shuang'er thought for a moment and frowned, "I really didn't notice it... When the golden light appeared just now, I panicked and my mind went blank."

Her family was similar to Xiao Yuan's, both were ordinary families that could barely make ends meet, how could they have ever seen gold? It was inevitable that she would panic at this moment.

Xiao Yuan held the wooden box, pursed his lips and recalled what happened during the day.

Today... the moment the adults stepped into the yard, the yard immediately became quiet, but in just a moment it became even more lively and noisy - Lord Shen came personally and had the feast with them, and the guests on both sides felt that today was a very honorable day!

So amidst the loud gongs and drums and the blessings from everyone around, what did the adults say?

"Ah——" Xiao Yuan scratched his head in annoyance.

It was so noisy at that time that he couldn't hear the adults talking!

Seeing him like this, Shuang'er couldn't help but persuade him, "Husband, why don't we take out the note and have a look? We don't want the gold, but the note might contain the master's blessing to us."

She covered her chest with her hands, a smile on her face: "I received so many blessings today, but I always feel that...your blessings are particularly different."

When Xiao Yuan heard this, he thought it was feasible.

The candlelight cast circles of light on the lacquered surface of the wooden box. He pressed down with force using his fingers.

"Click——"

It was not until this time that they could truly see the objects inside.

——On the left is a pair of concentric jade pendants, which are intertwined and inseparable in the box.

——On the right is a delicate and small gold hairpin with a flower made of gold wire adorned on the top, which is lifelike, eye-catching and dazzling.

Shuang'er stared at the golden hairpin blankly and murmured, "It's so beautiful..."

After an unknown amount of time, she realized what she had said, and quickly turned her head away, blushing as she said, "I, I don't want this hairpin, I just think it looks pretty."

Xiao Yuan looked at the letter for a long time, then sighed, "Madam, the master... guessed that we would return the gift."

"What?" Shuang'er leaned forward, but she couldn't read, so she could only ask, "What did the adults say in the letter?"

Xiao Yuan looked at the big words on the letter again and again, and was deeply moved.

He said: "The master wrote in the letter: 'If you dare not accept it, you will be expelled from the county government!'"

"Ah?" Shuang'er was a little unconvinced, "Did the adults really write this? I feel, I feel that this is not something an adult would say."

She is different from Xiao Yuan and others. She spends every day with Shen Zheng and knows her private character.

In her eyes, Lord Shen is not only close to the people, but also more like a goddess who is high above and cannot be offended.

Could the goddess say something that seemed like a threat but was actually a joke?

"It's written by the master himself." Xiao Yuan took the note in his hand and said with emotion: "The master guessed that we would not accept it, so he wrote it specially."

"Then..." Shuang'er asked tentatively, "If we return this gift, what will the Master do?"

Xiao Yuan smiled and guessed, "If I am expelled from the county government... I don't think so. But I think the master will give me a death order and ask me to accept the gift. If I don't accept it, he will not let me return to the county government to serve."

Adults are always like this, even her blessings are hot and warm.

Shuang'er looked at the golden hairpin and the concentric jade, feeling somewhat at a loss, "What should I do then?"

"What else can I do?" Xiao Yuan took out the gold hairpin carefully with a smile on his face.

Shuang'er hid back when she saw this.

If Xiao Yuan was holding a silver hairpin, she would be overjoyed and couldn't wait to put it on her head and show it to her beloved.

But that was a golden hairpin...a golden hairpin that none of her ancestors had ever had.

"Huh?" Xiao Yuan's hand stopped in mid-air.

He looked at the end of the hairpin and asked uncertainly, "There seems to be words on it?"

He moved the red candle over and squinted his eyes to take a closer look, "...Shuang? Madam, that's your name!"

"Really?!" Although Shuang'er was illiterate, she still knew her own name and Xiao Yuan's name.

She was surprised and took the hairpin carefully. As the candle flame got closer, the small words on the end of the hairpin became more visible.

"Really!" After seeing clearly, she grabbed Xiao Yuan's hand, tears in her eyes: "Husband! This is the hairpin that Master specially chose for me, with my name on it!"

Xiao Yuan was even happier than her. He reached out and hugged her, saying in a muffled voice, "Our marriage is blessed by the adults. We will definitely, definitely be together forever and grow old together."

Shuang'er nodded heavily in his arms, "I definitely will!"

At some point, the golden hairpin was put on her head. Xiao Yuan held her shoulders and stared at her for a long time. "The hairpin is beautiful, and she is even more beautiful."

......

Three days later.

In the early morning, someone knocked on the window of Shen Zheng's room.

"Boom boom boom——"

"Sir, get up! Our new county government office is going to have a plaque!"

"Um--"

After Shen Zheng, who was still asleep, gave a random response, there was no sound in the room again.

Fang Ziyan and the others waited outside the house for a while, then formed a circle and guessed, "Did the master fall asleep again?"

Yu Nanshu nodded: "Definitely."

Pei Zhaoqi looked worried and asked Feng Qianzhi, "Did the master ask you to prescribe tranquilizers?"

Feng Qianzhi looked innocent: "How is that possible? The master is famous for his good sleep. Does he still need to take medicine?"

"That's true..."

"Then what should we do?"

"What else can we do? Nanshu, Qianzhi, go ahead!"

"Squeak-"

"My Lord, the sun is shining on your buttocks..."

"Hmm... Hmm?! Get up, get up, get up, get up!" Shen Zheng, with a messy head, did a somersault and stunned Yu Nanshu and the others. "Wait for me for half a minute. I will show you what it means to get up at the speed of light!"

"What is the speed of light?"

"You'll find out later."
