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

The river wind blew her robes and she pinched her palms, looked into Shen Zheng's eyes and explained:

"Sir Shen, whether you believe me or not, I will tell you. This time I was admitted to the officialdom after passing the assessment of the Ministry of Personnel. I was able to come here after I had the ability to take the position. In addition, I will also prepare for the imperial examination in Yonglu County in the next two years. By then, I will definitely enter the officialdom with dignity."

Shen Zheng was startled by her serious look. After a moment of silence, she said:

"Don't worry, I'm just curious. I don't mean to distrust you, nor do I mean to look down on you. Since you have been appointed, just do your job well. Who knows, we may meet again in the court in the future."

She held Diwu Tanwei's hand and smiled comfortingly, "You are the first female official I have met. The meaning is always different. If you have any questions or difficulties in the future, feel free to come to Tong'an County to find me."

Diwu Tanwei stared at her blankly, with surprise in his eyes: "Really...can I come to see you?"

"Of course." Shen Zheng tilted her head and said, "Our two counties are so close, why would I lie to you? You can come here often and exchange accounting experiences with Xu Zhubu."

"Xu Zhubu?" Diwu Tanwei frowned and suddenly asked, "Does the Zhubu in your county intend to resign?"

"Ah?" Shen Zheng pulled her hand back in fear, and asked in confusion: "Why do you ask? Do you know each other?"

This shouldn’t happen, Shen Zheng thought.

Xu Zhubu is indeed from Liuyang Prefecture, so how could he know Diwu Tanwei?

"I'm just asking casually." Diwu Tanwei smiled at her, and his words sounded true and false to her: "I was just thinking that if the chief clerk in your county leaves, I will apply for a transfer order and work under you."

In her words, applying for a transfer order seemed as easy as eating and sleeping.

Shen Zheng was shocked by her train of thought and laughed dryly, "I think he probably has no intention of leaving his post yet... You should just keep doing your job well in Yonglu County."

A trace of disappointment flashed across the eyes of the Fifth Tanwei, "Okay... I will listen to you. Whatever you say is fine."

Shen Zheng:!

This strange feeling...what's going on?

She felt something was wrong, coughed lightly, winked at Yu Zhengqing, and exclaimed, "Sir! What's wrong with you? Are you tired? It must be because you got up early today and didn't rest well."

"Ah?" Yu Zhengqing didn't react immediately after being pointed out by her. After a while, he held his head and said, "Ouch - what happened to my useless head? It was fine just now."

Shen Zheng stepped forward with her fists clenched, and said sadly: "Please take care of yourself!"

She turned her head and looked behind her, waving at Ba Lezhan, "Master Ba - come quickly, help Master Yu."

Ba Lezhan glared and really thought that something had happened to Yu Zhengqing, and he almost lost his shoes.

"My lord, what's wrong with you? I'll help you up!"

“Ahem…” Yu Zhengqing turned his head away and acted weak: “I feel a little unwell. Please help me get on the carriage, and hurry.”

Bale Zhan was so anxious that his eyes were blazing with anger when he heard this. He wanted to carry him back to the carriage directly, "My lord, are you okay? Let's go directly to the clinic!"

"Go first, go first..." Yu Zhengqing said in a humming voice with his head down.

Shen Zheng was about to follow Yu Zhengqing into the carriage when Diwu Tanwei suddenly spoke up, "Sir Shen, I have something to ask you. Can I ride with you?"

Shen Zheng wanted to refuse, but unexpectedly, a hint of pleading appeared on her face: "I am new here, and there are many things I don't understand. Lord Yang... is a man, and there are some things I can't communicate with him. I hope Lord Shen can give me some pointers."

Anyone who sees a cold-faced beauty with such an expression would feel soft-hearted, right?

Shen Zheng felt that she was no exception, not to mention that she had just told Diwu Tanwei to come to her if he had any problems.

How could I suddenly change my mind about what I just said?

Just as Shen Zheng was about to answer, Yu Zhengqing coughed heavily in the carriage: "Shen Zheng, come up, I have something to say to you."

The fifth Tanwei turned his head slightly to look and frowned slightly.

For Shen Zheng, the situation now becomes a choice between Diwu Tanwei and Yu Zhengqing. Isn't it a difficult choice?

She smiled with a hint of guilt, "Fifth Chief Clerk, Lord Yu is both a teacher and a friend to me. I haven't seen him for a long time, and I still have something to say. Yonglu County is not far from Tongan County, and we have a long way to go, so let's talk about it later."

The cloudy expression on Diwu Tanwei's face suddenly turned sunny, and her smile was like a melting iceberg: "Okay, I will come to ask you for advice later."

......

As soon as Shen Zheng poked her head through the curtain, Yu Zhengqing couldn't wait to speak: "Can you show me the jade pendant that the Fifth Tanwei gave you?"

"Jade pendant?" Shen Zheng lifted her robe and sat down. She took out the jade pendant from her bosom and handed it to him, asking, "Does the Fifth Chief Bookkeeper's family sell rouge, powder, silk, or anything to keep women healthy?"

There are not many shops whose target customers are women nowadays, and it is difficult for them to be popularized across the country as in the past.

Today, women’s sense of autonomy and spending power are far inferior to those of women in previous lives, so shops that target women as customers are generally only opened in “developed regions” such as Beijing, Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Yu Zhengqing took the jade pendant and shook his head, "What rouge and powder? I can only say that it got a little stained on the edges."

He took the jade pendant in his hand, turned it over and over to look at its quality, and then rubbed the carvings on it repeatedly with his fingertips.

Shen Zheng leaned forward and whispered, "I didn't look at it carefully just now, but this jade pendant looks like a good thing. I'm afraid it can be exchanged for a lot of silver in a pawn shop. The Fifth Chief Clerk's family is willing to spend the money."

Yu Zhengqing's hands trembled when he heard this, and he almost dropped the jade pendant on the small table.

"Pawning the Fifth Family's keepsake? You're the only one who could come up with this idea."

Shen Zheng sensed something was wrong and frowned as she asked, "What do you mean? Could this jade pendant be some amazing treasure?"

She had another idea, but because it was a little dark and weird, she didn't say it out loud.

——Could it be that the Fifth Family has marked every jade pendant, and if anyone dares to pawn the jade pendant, they will hunt that person down to the ends of the earth?

How is it possible! Not to mention that even if the deal fails, the righteousness still exists. The Great Zhou is not the origin of martial arts novels. She has not even seen the real iron-blooded martial arts world until now.

Hunting? That sounds too far away.

Yu Zhengqing placed the jade pendant flat on the table, raised his eyelids and said to her: "You are right, this jade pendant... is a great treasure."

Shen Zheng's heart sank, and she didn't feel any joy at all for "picking up" a great treasure.

She pointed at the jade pendant and asked hesitantly, "What...big treasure?"
