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

I thought I would get a positive answer, but Shen Zheng shook her head and said, "Not quite appropriate, Fifth Master, is there anything else..."

As they were talking, three figures appeared across the street, one of whom they had just seen.

Looking at the three figures getting closer and closer, Yu Shizhang sneered: "Bad luck, they came here just by smelling the smell."

The fifth Na Zheng's expression also changed a little, and he whispered: "Why are they here..."

"Let's talk outside." Shen Zheng called the servants at the door and asked them to carry the sedan chair of Diwu Nazheng out.

There was a light rain in the sky again. The three people opposite quickened their pace, and soon they stepped onto the curb.

Jiadebo raised his sleeve to wipe the rain off, without even looking at Shen Zheng and Diwu Nazheng, but smiled and said to Yu Shizhang: "I didn't expect to meet Yongningbo here, it's fate."

Yu Shizhang looked him up and down and smiled falsely: "Why is Jiadebo not at home reading ancient books, but running to the gate of the Imperial College? Maybe you don't have enough books at home, so you come to the Imperial College to borrow books."

Gadber's smile froze.

In front of so many people, Yu Shizhang actually dared to mention what happened in the Golden Palace that day!

"Lord Yongning, you are joking." He almost squeezed out the words through his teeth, "I came to the Imperial College just to ask you something."

"Oh?" Yu Shizhang's eyes moved slightly and fell on Yan Fengci, "Jijiu Yan is here too."

Yan Fengci smiled elegantly and bowed, saying, "Your humble servant greets the Earl of Yongning."

Then he shifted his gaze a little and fell on Shen Zheng and Diwu Nazheng.

"I didn't expect that Master Xiao Shen and the Fifth Master were here too. Lord, Master Xiao Shen has just arrived in the capital and probably hasn't been to the Imperial Academy yet. Many students in our Imperial Academy look up to you and Master Xiao Shen as their role models. Why don't we go in and have a chat?"

Yu Shizhang narrowed his eyes slightly and asked bluntly: "Yan Jijiu, what is the test question?"

He looked at that question later. Shen Zheng's way of solving the problem was indeed unique, but it was not without clues. It was just difficult for others to understand.

If Yan Fengci came here for that question...

Is this a bit of an exaggeration?

Suddenly, Yu Shizhang remembered what Hua Jiangdong had said before—Yan Fengci wanted to find Diwu Nazheng for something.

Why would the chief academic officer of the Imperial College look for a businessman?

The answer is somewhat obvious.

Yan Fengci's gaze fell on the shop behind them.

He said: "I have also seen the way that Master Shen solved the problem. Although it is not an ordinary method, it is very clever inside..."

"Brother!" Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jiadebo: "Let's not talk about the test questions today."

Because of that test question, he was severely humiliated by the emperor in the Golden Palace.

This matter has apparently been spread by many big mouths.

In the past few days, the scholars in Beijing started looking at him strangely, and every time this happened, he wished he could skin Shen Zheng alive.

Yan Fengci suppressed his displeasure, and after thinking for a moment, he gestured and said, "My Lord, Mr. Shen, and the Fifth Master, the elegant pavilion next door is owned by the Imperial Academy. Please honor us and go into the private room for a chat. There is something I want to discuss with the Fifth Master."

The drizzle was blown in by the wind onto the street side. Although it was not cold when it hit my face, it was a bit sticky and annoying.

Yu Shizhang stood still where he was. Shen Zheng lowered her eyes slightly and looked at Diwu Nazheng.

Diwu Na was sitting on the carriage, his hands pressed tightly on his knees, as if the rainy day made his legs uncomfortable, either with unbearable tingling or soreness.

Shen Zheng pulled Yu Shizhang's sleeve and whispered, "They are coming for the Fifth Master. It just so happens that you are here today. Let's go in and deal with them together, and let the Fifth Master warm his feet."

Yu Shizhang glanced at Diwu Nazheng, and finally walked towards Yage.

He asked Shen Zheng: "You really don't like this shop?"

Shen Zheng shook her head, "Really not. I just felt that this young master here is difficult to serve, and he might not be interested in our books. Now... this elegant pavilion belongs to the Imperial College, and I don't want to be their neighbor."

She was thinking about this when she was in Accord before.

Opening the Tong'an Bookstore opposite the Imperial College certainly made Jiadebo and Yan Fengci feel uncomfortable, but that was only a temporary relief.

From a long-term perspective, this is not a good thing for ordinary scholars in Beijing.

This feeling... is like opening a bookstore next to a nightclub, it's so out of place.

The group walked into the elegant pavilion. Shen Zheng was thinking as she walked, and did not notice the shock on the face of the waiter who lifted the curtain.

After they entered the private room, the waiter who lifted the curtain fell to the ground, muttering in despair: "It's over, it's over, it's all over... I'm afraid I can't keep this job..."

Another guy came over, his face full of curiosity.

He squatted down and said, "That girl...wasn't it you who met her just now? I saw that she was smiling and talking to you the whole time. You must have been appreciated by the noble! She is walking with Gadber now, so her status must be extraordinary. You are lucky today, boy, don't forget your brothers in the future!"

"What a lucky bastard!" The guy was about to cry, "I just thought she was from an ordinary family, so I said some unpleasant things to her, and I..."

"Pa!" He got slapped on the mouth and kicked his legs on the ground. "Don't offend anyone!"

......

In the private room, green smoke curled up from the gilded incense burner and swirled upwards.

After Yan Fengci said a few words that were neither painful nor itchy, he finally got to the point: "Master Fifth, I am here today for the shop next door."

Diwu Na's hands, which were placed on his legs, slightly clenched, and his drooped eyelids concealed the sharpness in his eyes.

Before he could open his mouth, Yu Shizhang said to him, "Yan Jijiu, do you mean to rent the shop next door?"

The waiter served tea to everyone. Yan Fengci took a sip and said, "Master, it's not renting, it's buying."

He looked at Diwu Nazheng and said, "Master Diwu, the shop next door has been vacant for half a year. Instead of letting it sit there gathering dust, why not sell it to our Imperial College? You decide the price."

Diwu Nazheng frowned and was about to refuse, but Yu Shizhang took over for him: "Why did the Imperial College buy it?"

Under the table, Shen Zheng gently pulled Diwu's sleeve and wrote on the arm of the carriage with tea - "I don't want it."

Diwu Nazheng's expression froze for a moment, and he quietly dipped some tea and wrote: "No."

He believed that Shen Zheng didn't want the shop because of the Imperial College.

But he knew very well in his heart that it was the shop he reserved for Tong'an Bookstore and he would never sell it to anyone else, not even if the chief academic officer of the Imperial College asked for it himself.

Having made up his mind to cooperate, he wanted to let Shen Zheng see that he, Diwu Nazheng, and his Diwu family were absolutely qualified allies and would never betray their allies.

Looking at the two simple words on the arm of the carriage, Shen Zheng was slightly distracted.

The man named Diwu Nazheng is truly worthy of admiration.

After a brief pause, she wrote again: "I'll see."
