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

After the carriage stopped outside the house that was about to collapse, Cui Jinyin had a new understanding of the word "home".

Can that shabby, cracked mud house be called a home?

If there are thieves passing by, I'm afraid they will have to throw two coins at them before leaving...

Ah Wu looked calm and said to them, "My lord, my lady, please come in."

Shen Zheng took a step forward, and Cui Jinyin retreated: "I won't go in..."

She was afraid that the noise from the crowds would cause the mud wall to collapse and end up hitting her.

"Awu is back?" A woman's voice came from inside the house, "But Awu is back?"

Ah Wu nodded to Shen Zheng and went in first, "Grandma, I'm back."

Shen Zheng followed her in.

The main room faces south and has no sunlight at this time, so it is a little dark inside.

After adjusting to the light, Shen Zheng could clearly see the furnishings in the main room - a low table, a wooden stool, a door panel, and two simple farm tools, nothing else.

The main hall was connected to inner rooms on both sides, which should be the rooms of Ah Wu and his family. After a while, Ah Wu came out supporting a thin middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman was talking to Ah Wu: "Your sister and her friends went out to sell vegetables and haven't come back yet. I asked Ah Liu and Ah Qi to send some vegetables to Grandma Zhang. Grandma Zhang has sent us food a lot before... Is there anyone there?"

She looked in the direction of Shen Zheng.

Ah Wu supported her and nodded, "Grandma, this...sister helped me today and gave me food at noon."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Shen Zheng again: "Grandma's eyesight isn't very good, please don't mind."

Shen Zheng stepped forward, helped her to help grandma sit down, leaned over and said: "Grandma, I just happened to pass by and sent Ah Wu back. Now that I have sent him back, I will not bother you anymore."

Grandma turned around and looked at the vague outline and said, "Those dishes were sent by the girl? The girl is kind-hearted..."

Cui Jinyin, who was eavesdropping outside the house, pouted when she heard this.

Just when she was thinking about Shen Zheng taking credit for her work, she heard Shen Zheng say from inside the house: "That dish was not sent by me, but by another little girl. Ah Wu, you stay with grandma, I'm leaving first."

Upon hearing this, Cui Jinyin quickly took a few steps back and then turned her head pretending to be casual.

Meeting Shen Zheng's gaze, she asked, "Are you leaving?"

She thought Shen Zheng wanted to stay here and have a meal before leaving.

Seeing Shen Zheng nod and walk out, she took off the gold hairpin on her head and threw it into the arms of Ah Wu who followed her out.

The hairpin drew a golden arc in the air. Ah Wu subconsciously reached out to catch it and was slightly stunned. "Miss, this... I can't have it."

Although she was poor in stature and ambition, she was unable to help with the matter as originally agreed, so there was no reason for her to accept the reward.

"Just take it!" Cui Jinyin said, then lifted her skirt and trotted after Shen Zheng.

Looking at the two figures getting on the car one after another, Ah Wu was silent for a long time before turning around and going back to the house.

Maybe she was wrong, and Lord Shen just wanted to send her back. Even so, today was an extremely lucky day for her.

I got a cartload of vegetables, a bowl of rice, and also... a gold hairpin.

......

The carriage drove towards the city. Cui Jinyin looked at Shen Zheng, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself several times.

Finally, she couldn't hold it back and said with a puzzled look on her face: "You said you were going to Wu's house to take a look, so you really took a look and left?"

This person actually does what he says?

Shen Zheng was thinking about her grandma, and said calmly: "If we don't leave now, they will keep us for dinner."

"Is this why you left in such a hurry?" Cui Jinyin understood a little. "It seems that there is not much food at her house. If we eat a few more bites, they might starve. But they won't have to suffer so much in the future. I can buy a lot of meat with my hairpin."

Shen Zheng did not respond, but asked: "Are you going back to Cui Mansion or Xu Mansion?"

"I..." Cui Jinyin was stunned for a moment, leaning against the carriage and said, "Go back to Xu's house, will you take me to the gate?"

Such kindness, I feel a little uncomfortable for a moment...

Shen Zheng looked at her and asked, "Why did you block me outside the dam for a whole day?"

She really couldn't figure it out.

Judging from Cui Jinyin's reaction, Cui Xiang and Xu Zhijie didn't know that she had come to the suburbs.

If Cui Jinyin was lying, why did Cui Xiang and Xu Zhijie do this?

Send a clear-headed, simple-minded young lady to negotiate? That's impossible.

Cui Jinyin didn't dare to look into her eyes, and the several excuses she had prepared seemed to be useless.

She lowered her head and said in a muffled voice: "To be honest, I don't know either. I just want to see what kind of person you are."

At first, she and Sisi were just curious, but later, she was slapped by her grandfather, and her curiosity turned into rebellion.

She didn't know what she had done wrong, nor did she know why she was slapped for no reason. In the end, her desire to see Shen Zheng's heart slowly reached its peak.

Shen Zheng didn't know whether her words were true or not, and the car fell into silence.

This silence continued all the way to the entrance of Xu's house.

As soon as Cui Jinyin got out of the car, there was a commotion at the entrance of Xu's house.

"It's almost dark, and you still remember to come back!"

The voice was very urgent, but before Cui Jinyin could answer, the other party immediately asked: "Have you been to Cui's house today?"

"No..." Cui Jinyin said in a rude voice, "I'm not going back. Do you want to drive me back? I don't want to!"

"Uncle didn't mean to chase you away." In Shen Zheng's ears, Xu Zhijie seemed to be relieved. "Uncle sent someone to Cui's house to deliver a letter. You can stay here for the next few days. You don't have to run back and forth. By the way, who sent you back?"

Hearing that there was still something for her to do, Shen Zheng lifted the curtain and got out of the car.

"Your humble servant greets Lord Xu."

"Lord Shen?" Xu Zhijie's voice sounded surprised, but his expression was not surprised at all. "You brought Yin'er back? Thank you so much."

Seeing that he was going to perform, Shen Zheng followed suit.

"I happened to meet Miss Cui, so I sent her here. Sir Xu, you don't have to be polite. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Just as she was about to get in the car, Xu Zhijie called her again: "Master Shen."

Shen Zheng turned around and asked, "My Lord, is there anything else?"

Xu Zhijie glanced at Cui Jinyin and sighed: "Yin'er is naughty and her grandfather is very strict. I hope you can handle today's matter..."

Shen Zheng understood.

There's something...not right with Seo Chi-jie and Choi Sang.

Does what happened in Cui Mansion yesterday have anything to do with Xu Zhijie?

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Shen Zheng said: "I won't say much, sir, don't worry."

After Shen Zheng got on the carriage, Cui Jinyin looked at the carriage and then at Xu Zhijie, and always felt that something was wrong.

"Uncle, didn't you also not allow me to see Lord Shen? Why did you keep it a secret from me today?"

Xu Zhijie's face darkened. "Then I will send someone to Cui's house now and tell your grandfather that you waited for Shen Zheng in the suburbs of Beijing for a whole day and were so busy that you didn't even have a hot meal."

“No, no, no, no.” Cui Jinyin quickly took his arm and leaned against him, saying, “You’re the best. Don’t complain, don’t complain…”

The two walked towards the mansion, and Cui Jinyin shared with great interest: "Uncle, let me tell you, I met a little beggar in the suburbs of Beijing today. Her name is Awu..."
