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

Shen Zheng read two messages from Cui Jinyin's words.

——The Xu Mansion and the Cui Mansion are indeed clearly separated.

——General Zhenyuan’s Mansion and Cui’s Mansion…seem to be on the same page.

No wonder Prime Minister Cui is so busy running around inside and outside. It turns out he is a lonely man, and his son is also useless. If he doesn't make some efforts, the Cui family will probably decline.

But many things have traces to follow. Flowers do not wither suddenly, and rivers do not dry up in an instant.

But this little girl in front of me...

"Why are you suddenly looking at me like that?" Cui Jinyin frowned slightly and unconsciously looked down at her own attire. "Are you feeling sorry for me? Am I poorly dressed?"

Look at this guy, he's not pleasant the moment he opens his mouth.

Shen Zheng thought that her expression had nothing to do with "pitiful", at most she was just worried.

She couldn't help but ask, "You haven't returned home yet, isn't your grandfather worried?"

Cui Jinyin spoke faster than she could think: "I've been staying at my uncle's house recently. My grandfather doesn't know where I am, and my uncle won't tell him."

She regretted it right after she finished speaking, and immediately answered herself: "I am very free, I can do whatever I want, there is no place in the capital that I cannot go."

Shen Zheng lowered her head and smiled.

I was indeed overthinking it just now. Even if the Cui family really fell into decline, Xu Zhijie, as her uncle, could protect Cui Jinyin from harm.

"Freedom is good. Freedom is the most precious thing." She said with a smile.

Cui Jinyin glanced at her suspiciously and said uncomfortably, "What's your answer? Can cotton wool be made into cotton wadding? I still have to go back and give my uncle a reply."

This was her first time dealing with court affairs, and she couldn't hide her excitement, thinking that if the soldiers guarding the border wore cotton-padded clothes, would it be due to her contribution?

This feeling doesn't seem bad, no wonder everyone wants to be an official.

She waited eagerly for an answer, but Shen Zheng only said, "I will write to General Zhenyuan and discuss it with him in detail."

"You don't believe me?!" Cui Jinyin looked hurt: "Are you still afraid that I will tell my grandfather? I already said I won't..."

"It's not that I don't trust you." Shen Zheng said helplessly, "This is a serious matter. How can it be resolved in a few words or explained in a few sentences? I haven't even figured it out yet, and you're chasing me for answers. How can this be allowed?"

Cui Jinyin was a very easy-to-appease person, and she immediately lost her temper when she heard that.

"Well... well, I'll go back and tell my uncle."

She picked up the teacup and drank it all, then slowly stood up. "Then I'll leave?"

Seeing that Shen Zheng didn't keep her, she turned around in disappointment and moved towards the door step by step.

"Eat your meal before you leave." Shen Zheng's voice sounded behind her, "But the affairs of the Shen Mansion can only stay in the Shen Mansion. You can't say anything after you leave, and you can't..."

"I won't tell anyone!" She turned around immediately, but suddenly realized that she seemed too happy. "It's just a meal. If Grandfather knew, he couldn't do anything to you, but he could..."

She swallowed the unfinished words.

Shen Zheng stood up and walked to her side, "Let's go, Nan Shu and the others are making a fuss outside."

The sounds of laughter and playfulness outside were endless, a kind of liveliness that Cui Jinyin rarely experienced.

When Shen Zheng opened the door, she pulled Shen Zheng's sleeve and lowered her head and said, "Um... can you tell Yu Nanshu that it was you who insisted on having me stay for dinner? I'll even pay for the meal."

Yu Nanshu had said before that she was as sticky as a piece of taffy, and followed Shen's house eagerly.

She was actually very afraid that Yu Nanshu would look down on her.

"I understand." Shen Zheng opened the door.

"Sister Shen!"

Yu Nanshu and the others were right at the door, and they surrounded them as soon as it opened. Fang Ziyan, before he could even stand still, started complaining, "Sister Shen, just now we were playing chuiwan, and Nanshu hit the ball onto the roof, breaking a tile, and she insisted I say it was me who broke it!"

Several of them were sweating profusely from playing, their faces as red as monkey butts, but their eyes were brighter than each other.

Shen Zheng looked at Yu Nanshu who was hiding in the back. Yu Nanshu smiled awkwardly and slowly raised her hand. "Tomorrow, Zhao Qi and I will build a ladder to change the tiles."

Fang Ziyan insisted: "You were the one who broke the tile, why did you ask Zhao Qi to help?"

Yu Nanshu's arrogance diminished. "I need someone to help me get started. Zhao Qi and I are colleagues, and he's reliable and reliable, so he's the perfect person!"

Fang Ziyan grabbed Pei Zhaoqi's left sleeve and said, "But Zhaoqi doesn't want to!"

Yu Nanshu was not willing to be outdone and pulled Pei Zhaoqi's right sleeve: "Zhaoqi will definitely agree!"

"I don't want to!"

"willing!"

"..."

Pei Zhaoqi was like an emotionless puppet, being fought over by them.

"Stop!" Shen Zheng couldn't bear to watch any longer and rescued Pei Zhaoqi. "Let the victim say a few words."

Yu Nanshu and Fang Ziyan looked over eagerly.

"......." Not wanting to offend either side, Pei Zhaoqi could only offer a compromise: "Nan Shu will buy tiles tomorrow, and Zi Yan and I will trade them. Is that okay?"

The two nodded together, obviously satisfied with the judge's decision.

The storm subsided, and Cui Jinyin felt puzzled.

It's just a piece of broken tile...how can you take so long to break it?

Besides, wouldn't there be servants to do things like replacing tiles? There were so many servants in the yard, why would I have to do it myself for something I just casually said?

Just as she was thinking about it, Yu Nanshu stood beside her without her knowing when.

"Cui Jinyin, do you want to play chuiwan?"

Chui Wan?

with who?

With Yu Nanshu, the little fat guy and the others?

"You said..." Before she could finish her words, a hammer was stuffed into her hand.

The hammer was a little old and sticky, but she couldn't get rid of it, as if it was stuck to her hands.

She forced herself to look at Yu Nanshu, wanting to see what her expression was like - was she sincerely inviting her, or was she feeling sorry for her, or was she aware that she was not good at chuiwan and wanted to laugh at her?

After some inner struggle, Cui Jinyin found out that no matter what Yu Nanshu's purpose was in inviting her, she was willing to play mahjong with them.

Why didn’t I realize before that…Chui Wan is so attractive?

Yu Nanshu had two hammers in her hand, both of which were cleaner than the one in her hand. She was about to ask for another one when she saw Yu Nanshu hand one of them to Shen Zheng.

"Sister Shen, can you play with us for a while?"

Cui Jinyin withdrew her hand.

Unexpectedly, Yu Nanshu was rejected by Shen Zheng: "I have to go to the kitchen to see, they have no experience in making frogs, we can't let our stomachs down."

"Frog?" Cui Jinyin's face turned pale as she pointed at the ugly creature in the tank. "We're going to eat this tonight?"

Doesn’t this thing say there are bugs? She heard people talking about it when she went out today.

"Yes." Shen Zheng looked at the only two pairs of frogs left in the tank. "They are delicious. You are in for a treat today."

Cui Jinyin felt her stomach churning and was unable to speak for a long time.

When Shen Zheng walked towards the kitchen, she suddenly remembered something very important.

"Nan Shu, where are grandparents?"

Two living people didn't show up, and she only realized now!

No wonder my wrists feel empty...
