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

On the outskirts of the dam, a carriage stayed there for a long time.

The flower curtains on the car window were blown up by the river breeze, and the face of the girl in the car was vaguely visible.

"She is Shen Zheng..." One of the girls pouted, "She doesn't seem to be anything special. She doesn't have any more eyes or hands than us, Sisi, don't you think so?"

The girl she called "Sisi" tilted her head and thought about it.

"I think she is pretty, but the green official robe is not good-looking. The green is too dark. Who among us young women would wear clothes of that color? Okay, Yinyin, the people have seen it. We should go back. If my father knew that you and I came to Heba, he would definitely tell Grandfather Cui."

One of them is the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Cui and his granddaughter; the other is the eldest daughter of the Minister of Personnel, Xu Zhijie.

The fact that they could come to the outskirts of Beijing to take a look was already a step lower than their status.

"Let's go." Xu Simi lifted the curtain and looked at the sky. "My father should still be in the Ministry of Personnel. Let's go back early to avoid running into him."

Each of them only brought a maid on this trip, and even the carriage was rented from a carriage and horse shop.

Although it was the best carriage in the carriage company, it was still not as comfortable as their original carriage.

After arriving at the outskirts of Beijing, Xu Simi felt a little itchy all over his body, thinking that it must be because the carriages of this carriage company were not very clean.

I wanted to go home quickly, but Cui Jinyin was unwilling to leave.

"Wait a little longer..." Cui Jinyin pouted and shook her arm, saying, "The sacrifice will be over soon. Shen Zheng will definitely just be here for a formality and will leave soon. When her carriage comes out, we will say the horse is lame and stop her to let her carry us for a while."

She really didn't want to leave.

Just after taking a quick look, she felt like something was missing.

At least she should be allowed to hear Shen Zheng's voice, right?

Xu Simi scratched his arm through his sleeve and said with a bitter face: "But my body is itchy, I want to go back quickly..."

"Where does it itch?" Cui Jinyin held her arm, rolled up her sleeves and took a look. "Oh - there's a rash!"

Red spots appeared on her fair arms, and Xu Simi almost cried when she saw this.

"No, no, this place is not clean, and this carriage is not clean either. Yinyin, let's go back..."

Cui Jinyin looked at her arm and then at the dam.

She gritted her teeth and said, "You go back first! Let the palace doctor take a look at you. I will wait here until Shen Zheng comes back. If uncle asks, you can say that I went back to the prime minister's mansion. He won't send anyone to confirm it."

Xu Simi knew that Cui Jinyin was bold, but she didn't expect her to be so bold today.

"This is the outskirts of Beijing!" She held Cui Jinyin's hand with her backhand, "It's not in Shangjing City. It's too dangerous for you to stay here alone. Let's go next time, Yinyin. I'll accompany you next time."

Take headdresses for example, Cui Jinyin wears several kinds. What if they are stolen?

Besides...being robbed is still the least of my worries.

Xu Simi looked up at Cui Jinyin.

Her skin is as white as cream, and her lips are red and her teeth are white.

I am afraid that evil people do not seek money, but sex!

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll take Taotao with me. Don't worry. I'll find a way to let Shen Zheng take me with her later." After Cui Jinyin finished speaking, she lifted the car curtain and got out of the car despite the dissuasion.

After getting off the car, she did not forget to tell the driver: "You know who is sitting in the car, drive faster, go back quickly, don't delay on the road!"

After saying this, she put on her face scarf and left with her maid Taotao without looking back, leaving Xu Simi's worried cry behind her.

......

On the dam.

After the sacrifice, the people were still enthusiastic and wanted to stay to see the wonder for a while, but they were waved away by people from the Ministry of Works.

As the crowd dispersed, those who remained on the dam included officials such as Shen Zheng and 500 laborers.

The construction was coordinated and arranged by Wei Xiyu, the director of the Capital Water Conservancy Bureau, and Zeng Tongshi, the director of the Water Conservancy Bureau of the Ministry of Works. Most of the time, Shen Zheng only had to take notes.

The work process, materials, project quality and construction safety are the parts that she needs to pay special attention to and record.

In the first few days of construction, they needed to clear the river and dig a temporary diversion channel, so lime and other cement raw materials would not be brought in.

Shen Zheng took Yu Shizhang for a walk along the shore and introduced the construction process to him as they walked.

Yu Shizhang felt overwhelmed after hearing this and stopped her, saying, "Don't tell me these things. It's too taxing. I'll tell you something fun."

As the river breeze blew, Shen Zheng put the blueprint back into her arms and asked curiously, "What's the fun?"

"The Cui family."

Shen Zheng saw a hint of...evil in the smile on Yu Shizhang's face?

She asked, "At Prime Minister Cui's residence?"

"Eh..." Yu Shizhang nodded, "That's right. These past few days, I have been counting the books in various mansions. I must go to Prime Minister Cui, a powerful person, first. Guess what I ran into?"

Shen Zheng saw his evil smile and couldn't help but get goose bumps. "What did you see?"

"Prime Minister Cui's good-for-nothing son brought him a daughter-in-law." As he spoke, Yu Shizhang's expression turned disgusted, "His daughter-in-law is only two years older than his granddaughter!"

Shen Zheng stared.

"You mean... stepmother is as old as my daughter?"

Who wouldn't be embarrassed when meeting like this?

"Who said it wasn't?" Yu Shizhang thought back to yesterday's scene and said, "Isn't this a deliberate attempt to annoy the girl? Fortunately, the girl went to her uncle's house, so we didn't see it."

Shen Zheng thought for a moment.

Marrying a young wife is actually not uncommon among wealthy families, but as Yu Shizhang said, it would be a bit unreasonable to marry a young wife home when the girl hasn't even gotten married yet.

She asked in confusion: "But this... why did you see it? You can't enter the back house."

"So, why do I talk about funny things? The fun is in this."

Yu Shizhang looked around to see if there was anyone around, and then he said, "After I entered Cui's mansion yesterday, Prime Minister Cui took me into the storeroom to look at books. As I was looking, there was a commotion outside, and from the servants' voices, it sounded like they were chasing someone. Prime Minister Cui's face suddenly turned dark, and he turned around and tried to send me away."

Shen Zheng let out a "Yoho" and her gossipy heart was burning.

"So Prime Minister Cui already knew about this?"

"I guess so." Yu Shizhang continued, "I didn't want to leave, but after all, this was a private matter, and it wouldn't be appropriate for me to stay and watch the show. But just when I was about to avoid suspicion, guess what happened!"

Seeing how he spoke in such a rhythmic way, Shen Zheng quickly responded: "What's going on?"

"Someone bumped into us!" Yu Shizhang said, "The woman seemed to be careless, but she was actually heading straight for the library. After she ran in front of Prime Minister Cui and me, she knelt down with a 'click' sound."

Shen Zheng felt that she didn't quite understand, and asked in confusion, "She knew that you, the Earl of Yongning, were in the Prime Minister's Residence, so she deliberately bumped into the library? She wanted you to see her, and then what?"

Yu Shizhang glanced at her and deliberately kept silent.

Shen Zheng felt itchy in her heart.

If she had known this would happen, she would have read more novels about house fighting!
