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

As the woman spoke, she kept looking into the carriage with her drooping eyes.

"What's the Sixth Girl?" A voice came from the carriage. The curtain was lifted and the person who spoke bent over and walked out. "The maids in this mansion all have names, but none of them has the surname 'Six'."

When the woman heard the previous sentence, she wanted to retort, but after hearing the word "this official", her eyes turned and she greeted him with a familiar look.

"Oh, you are Mr. Shen, right? You really look like a fairy. Our sixth girl has been working in your house and has caused a lot of trouble..."

Before she could finish her words, a silver-shining broadsword blocked her way. Hua Duo looked cold and said in a chilly tone, "My master said that there is no girl named 'Six' in the mansion. Get out of the way."

"Ouch!"

The woman was frightened by the knife and took several steps back. "How can you, a girl, brandish a knife and a gun like a man! Please don't hurt our Lord Shen, really..."

"It is not your turn as an outsider to interfere in my affairs." After Shen Zheng finished speaking, she took Hua Duo and Nanny Gu to the gate of the mansion.

"Hey - Lord Shen!" The woman took two steps forward, but was pulled away by her own man. "Let me tell you! You can't even speak clearly, it's useless!"

The woman staggered as he pulled her, staring at his back and muttering, "I was just thinking of saying something nice first, but who knew that the female official also had eyes on the top of her head..."

"Master Shen, please stay!" The man boasted of his literary demeanor and quickly caught up with Shen Zheng, "I hope Master Shen will listen to what I have to say..."

Shen Zheng continued, "My surname is Dai, and I have a daughter named Dai Liunu, who is from Yanzhou, near Shangjing. Previously, my mother and I wanted to find a good future for the child, so we sent her to run for election..."

"Pah." Nanny Gu was usually very calm, but today she couldn't help but spit. "There are prospects for her in the palace, but with parents like you, how can she have any future?"

The woman standing not far away rolled her eyes and muttered, "If it weren't for us, would she have been able to say a word to Guan'er in her life? Little hoof, you forgot your parents when you became rich... You didn't even tell Guan'er when you came to his house. Fortunately, I was well-informed..."

On this side, Shen Zheng stepped over the threshold and gave the doorman a look.

The doorman understood what he meant and closed the door with a bang.

The man was unable to avoid it and was pushed back two steps by the door. "Sir Shen, I..."

"Oh, that heartless girl, she didn't recognize her parents after marrying into the government!" The woman behind him suddenly sat on the ground and cried, "We went through so much trouble to come to the capital just to see our daughter, is this not even possible?"

She howled more and more excitedly, covering her face with her hands, and completely forgetting herself, thinking that this would attract people to stop and ask for justice for them as parents.

But what she didn't know was that this was Shangjing, and they were located on Yintai Street in Shangjing City, where every inch of land was worth a lot of money.

All around her were dignitaries and dignitaries, and Shen Zheng had been very popular recently. Today, she was rewarded by the Emperor and was allowed to wear the goldfish talisman into the palace. Everyone in the mansions of Yintai Street knew about it.

Someone is sitting in front of the Shen Mansion and crying?

No one dared to get close to watch the show, and no one dared to step forward to "seek justice" for them.

Regardless of right or wrong, most people tend to flatter the weak and step down on the powerful, not to mention that Shen Zheng not only has a high status.

......

"The master is back!" Mu Qing felt very uncomfortable when he heard the crying and wailing at the door.

"Where is the jade pendant?" Shen Zheng walked towards Ziyi Residence.

"Peiyu is in the room, and Wudan and the others are with her." Mu Qing followed up and said, "When Peiyu heard that her parents were coming, she was very excited. She cried and took a pair of scissors, wanting to rush out of the house to argue with the two. I, Wudan and the others had no choice but to lock her in the room and wait for you to come back."

Shen Zheng's pace became faster and faster, and in just half a moment she arrived at Ziyiju.

It was very quiet in Ziyiju Center, the door of Peiyu Room was closed tightly, and there was no sound at all.

"Knock knock knock—" Shen Zheng knocked on the door, "I'm back, open the door."

The door was immediately opened from the inside. Wodan and Gantang stood on the left and right of the door, looking at her, wanting to say something but stopping themselves.

Before Shen Zheng could say anything, Pei Yu ran over, knelt down with a "pa" and began to kowtow.

"I am useless. I have caused trouble to you, sir. Please deal with me. You are busy with your work, and I cannot let my affairs affect your work."

Nanny Gu glanced at Shen Zheng, then bent down and helped the jade pendant up.

She kowtowed very hard, but after just a few kowtows, a red spot appeared on her forehead.

Shen Zheng sighed and asked everyone to sit down. Pei Yu didn't dare to look up or sit down, and was forced onto the stool by Grandma Gu.

"Pei Yu, you wanted to go out before, how did you plan to face them?" Shen Zheng asked.

Pei Yu was stunned for a long time.

The lazy cicadas in the trees in the yard were making so much noise that her thoughts were confused, her throat was dry, and her brain was a mess.

After sorting out her thoughts for a long time, she regained her ability to speak, "My lord, I understand them. In their hearts, I am not a daughter, but a toy that can be exchanged for money. They came to your house this time, not just to take a look at me..."

For people like them, there is no gain without hard work. The journey from their hometown of Yanzhou, south of Shangjing, would cost at least two taels of silver.

Two taels of silver?

During those more than ten years of raising her, I probably didn't even spend two taels of silver.

The meal they ate was thin brown rice, the vegetables were the leftovers of them and their younger brother, and the clothes were worn in turns by the sisters.

The greatest favor they could do for her was probably the favor of giving birth to her.

"So what do you think is the reason they came to Beijing?" Shen Zheng asked.

Pei Yu thought for a while, "My younger brother should be here too... He has studied with my father and knows some words, so maybe..."

She couldn't say the rest.

So embarrassing.

Shen Zheng pondered, and Nanny Gu said, "Sir, this kind of thing happened occasionally to the elected girls in the past. Some girls were favored by their masters, and they could find jobs for their families in the masters' houses. In this way, not only can the family be reunited, but they can also become servants of the government, with stable jobs and generous monthly wages."

Shen Zheng frowned after hearing this.

If this kind of behavior happened in the previous life, it would mean that the whole family would work for the rich and make money together.

But nowadays, being a servant for the government means becoming a slave, losing human rights, and having your life and death depend entirely on the will of your master.

How good are the servants of the government to make them willing to give up their civilian status and become slaves?

Moreover, when she glanced at Pei Yu's father just now, she seemed quite self-righteous.

What this kind of person wants...is probably more than just finding jobs for his family.
