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

Yu Shizhang struggled psychologically for a long time and finally picked up the knife again.

Just as he raised his arm and prepared to strike with the knife, there was a loud noise outside the door, followed by a familiar scream.

"Fang Ziyan, I told you to throw it farther away! Why did you throw it right at our feet?" Yu Nanshu was obviously frightened by the sound of the firecrackers.

"I... I've never played with such a big firecracker before. I was afraid it would explode in my hand, so I wanted to throw it away quickly... I'm sorry, Nan Shu." Fang Ziyan's apology was heard.

"Little daring!" Yu Nanshu's voice followed immediately: "Stand further away and watch——"

There was a rustling sound.

"boom--"

Not long after, another loud noise was heard, followed by Fang Ziyan's praise: "Nan Shu, you are so awesome! Zhao Qi, hurry up, let's set off another one!"

In the courtyard, Yu Shizhang pondered for a moment, then "snapped" and put down his knife: "This girl is actually playing with firecrackers, how can this be allowed, what if she hurts herself..."

"No!" He looked at Liang Fu with a worried look on his face: "Old Liang, you heard it too. It's not that I don't want to cut the meat, but..."

"You just don't want to cut the meat." Liang Fu looked at him firmly: "Your eyes are full of longing for firecrackers."

"......" Yu Shizhang was silent for a moment, then looked at Shen Zheng: "My granddaughter is here! How can she just sit there and watch me cutting meat without being moved? Besides, is it appropriate for the three of them to be playing with firecrackers outside while we are busy here? We should call them in!"

This scene made Sima Zhao's intention known to everyone.

As soon as he finished speaking, three figures rushed in from the front yard.

——Good guy.

Shen Zheng smacked her lips after seeing clearly.

"Did you guys clean out the firecracker shop?"

I saw the three little ones each carrying a backpack half a person's height. The baskets were filled with strings of firecrackers, so full that they were almost level with the tops of their heads.

Yu Shizhang's mouth twitched, and he looked at them: "Are you here to blow up the county government office?"

Yu Nanshu pulled the shoulder strap that was a bit tight and said to Fang Ziyan, "Ziyan took us to Quanyang County to get it. He didn't even pay for the shop!"

Fang Ziyan smiled shyly: "If you still want to play, just ask them to send us later..."

"......" Everyone was silent for a moment, and Shen Zheng spoke first: "Don't play with it in your hands, put it on the ground, and run away if it catches fire."

After saying that, she looked at Feng Qianzhi who had been peeking at them: "Qianzhi, come here, stop rolling the noodles, I'll come later, you go play with Nanshu and the others."

Yu Nanshu also ran over with a backpack on her back, holding up the backpack straps and said, "We didn't find you when we went to the clinic just now, so we guessed that you were in the county government office. Come with us to set off the firecrackers! I tell you, Ziyan's firecrackers are really loud!"

"But..." Feng Qianzhi actually wanted to go set off firecrackers with them.

Growing up, she had only seen others set off firecrackers, but had never set one off herself. Just now, she heard them setting off firecrackers in the yard, and it seemed really fun, and the firecrackers were really loud.

She looked at the half-rolled dumpling wrappers and said hesitantly, "Nan Shu, can I finish wrapping the dumplings and then come back to you guys?"

Yu Nanshu looked at the dough and the large bowl of minced meat on the table, her eyes lit up: "What's the big deal! The four of us finished wrapping them in no time! Zi Yan Zhao Qi, come quickly, let's finish wrapping quickly and go play!"

The three of them put down their backpacks, washed their hands without saying a word, and started working.

Pei Zhaoqi rolled the noodles, Feng Qianzhi pulled the dough, and Fang Ziyan and Yu Nanshu's skills were slightly worse, so they were assigned to the "dumpling making post" which required the least skill.

Yu Shizhang stood by with a kitchen knife in his hand, pretending to do something for a long time, but Yu Nanshu didn't even look at him.

He raised the kitchen knife, forced a smile, and took the initiative: "Um... Nan Shu, grandpa is cutting meat?"

Yu Nanshu tilted her head and took a look, "Wow - Grandfather is so awesome!"

"......Gone?"

"That's all..." Yu Nanshu was puzzled, "What else do you want to say?"

"...Nothing, hurry up and make the dumplings. Finish them sooner, then...go set off the firecrackers sooner."

There was another round of chaos, and in the end Shen Zheng couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to open her mouth to take the knife - if she let these two continue cutting, she would have to eat raw meat tonight.

She had just taken two steps forward when there was a knock on the door of the county government office.

Yu Nanshu looked at Fang Ziyan and asked, "Did you lock the door?"

Fang Ziyan scratched his head as he thought about it, "No, it's still covered. You can just push the door and come in."

"Then why is there someone knocking on the door?" Yu Nanshu looked at the front yard through the cave door and put the wrapped dumplings into the dustpan: "I'll go see who's coming!"

Shen Zheng was also wondering who would come.

The Fifth Exploration? Fang Wenxiu? Mo Qingwan? Or Man Niang?

It's all possible.

They were not familiar with the county government office, and they did not know that the small door of the county government office was often not locked and was deliberately left open.

After Yu Nanshu arrived, she did not open the main door, but opened the small door and looked in: "Oh - you are...?"

The man was dressed in tight clothes, holding the reins of a horse in his hand, and looked exhausted. It was obvious that he had just arrived in Tongan County and went straight to the county government office.

She felt that the other person's clothes looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen them.

The other party was also surprised to see that it was a little girl who opened the door. Then he looked up at the plaque and confirmed that it was the Tongan County Government Office before asking, "Little girl, is Lord Shen Zheng in the government office?"

Yu Nanshu looked at the sword behind him and paused. Instead of answering, she asked, "Who are you? Let me ask you first."

The other party was stunned.

To be honest, he himself knows very well how he appears to outsiders. Although he cannot scare children to tears, there are not many children who can ask him questions without changing their expression.

He looked at Yu Nanshu for a moment and had a guess in his mind: "But Miss Yu?"

Yu Nanshu became even more curious and asked him, "Who are you then? What do you want to see Sister Shen about?"

The other party understood clearly that this person was the granddaughter of Earl Yongning, the daughter of Prefect Yu whom he had just met on the road. Although he had only seen Earl Yongning from a distance twice, he felt that the person in front of him had the demeanor of Earl Yongning.

"I am He Yan from the Imperial Guards." The other party clasped his fists and said, "I have come from the capital to announce the order of His Majesty."

"Pah--" the small door closed, and the next moment the big door opened from the inside. The little girl turned her head and shouted towards the backyard: "Sister Shen, Grandfather! His Majesty has sent someone--!"

"Brother soldiers, I am sorry for offending you just now." After Yu Nanshu shouted, she gave He Yan a standard salute.

He Yan tied his horse at the door, came in and returned the greeting, saying with a smile: "I came here rashly, and the young lady has done nothing to offend me."
