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

Shen Zheng got out of the carriage upon hearing the sound, but before she could even stand, her eyes were blinded by the stench.

"Oh my God..." She looked at the smoking steps, raised her sleeve to cover her mouth and nose, called the doorman, forced a smile and asked him: "Did you rinse with hot water?"

The concierge scratched his head and laughed, "Sir, hot water removes grease and cleans things..."

"..."

After thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true. Shen Zheng gritted her teeth and raised her hand, saying, "You... wait until I leave before you rush."

She turned around and got on the carriage, asking the driver to move forward a few dozen steps, away from the gate. When she heard shouting from behind the carriage, she remembered that someone seemed to be coming.

"Master Shen..." the man rode his horse and chased after him for two steps, "Master Shen... uh... you wait... uh..."

Shen Zheng covered her mouth and nose and lifted the curtain to take a look. The person who came was the manager of the fifth family, whose surname was Tan. She had met him once before at the Xianhuan Society.

She waved her hand, signaling Manager Tan to follow her. Manager Tan retched and stumbled on his horse to catch up.

The carriage stopped a few dozen steps outside the mansion gate. Shen Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and got out. Steward Tan had tears in his eyes and his voice was hoarse: "Master Shen, did you sprinkle some kind of medicine at the door of your mansion?"

Shen Zheng's expression froze.

There's no need to be so subtle.

"Someone smeared me with shit." She said it lightly, but in her heart she was thinking that after catching the culprit, she would feed him a bowl of dog shit.

After collecting her expression, she asked again, "What brings you here, Manager Tan?"

"Ah?" Steward Tan was still immersed in the shock of "someone smearing the Shen Mansion" and only reacted after a while: "The ship from Tongan County has arrived at the dock. The master asked me to ask you if you want to go over and take a look."

He thought that Lord Shen had a very broad mind. If someone had smeared shit on his doorstep, he would probably be so angry that he wouldn't go out for the whole day, let alone stand outside the door and watch the servants clean up.

"Has the county ship arrived?" Shen Zheng's gloom vanished, and he immediately replied, "I'll go there myself. Manager Tan, please go to the dock first and tell them to wait for me to arrive before unloading the cargo."

I don’t know who came with the boat?

Xu Zhubu and Zhao Xiu are definitely not here, and Wang Guangjin must have gone to Ximi, so he can't come either...

Shaking his head, Shen Zheng felt that he might have thought too much - maybe only the crew members came?

.......

At noon, Shen Zheng brought Hua Duo to the dock.

As soon as Shen Zheng heard the news from Tongan County, her thoughts burst out like a floodgate that had been opened, unable to stop.

Along the way, she said a lot to Huaduo.

Sometimes she said the food in Tongan County Yamen was delicious, sometimes she said the people of Tongan were both simple-minded and smart, and sometimes she said that when she first arrived in Tongan County, she ate and slept every day and could not find anything to do. She also said that the constables in the Yamen had always been called gluttons by the people.

Hua Duo had a faint smile on his face as he listened to her story quietly, and his yearning for Tongan County grew even stronger.

The sun is shining brightly today, and there are endless ships coming and going. The sounds of hawking can be heard one after another. Shirtless laborers are shouting slogans and working hard to load and unload goods on the ships.

The carriage was led in by Manager Tan. Along the way, Shen Zheng did not miss any of the ships.

It was not that she was afraid that Manager Tan had taken her to the wrong place, but she missed Tongan County too much. Everything related to Tongan County made her yearn for it.

"Uu——"

Manager Tan reined in his horse, and the coachman followed closely behind. Shen Zheng grabbed the curtain and squeezed it in her hand, leaving a sweat stain on the curtain.

"Hiss——" Shen Zheng took a deep breath, and then exhaled, "Hu——".

a little nervous.

Outside the car, Steward Tan's voice came: "Master Shen, we're here."

After straightening his collar and wiping the dust off the tips of his shoes, Shen Zheng lifted the curtain with one hand and slowly got out of the carriage.

She couldn't help but look towards the platform. At just one glance, she locked onto the ship from Tongan County. Just as she took a step, she caught a glimpse of a figure rushing towards her out of the corner of her eye.

Almost at the same time, Huaduo drew his sword.

"Lord be careful!"

"Sir, wuwuwu, I—ah—"

The figure was forced back by the big knife. Shen Zheng turned his head suddenly, and his pupils shrank after seeing clearly, "Hua Duo!"

Who else could that guy who was so scared by the big knife that he squatted on his buttocks except Xiao Yuan!

Seeing her expression, Hua Duo knew that he had frightened one of his own people, so he quickly hid behind her and bowed his head to apologize: "I have made a mistake, and I hope you will punish me."

Shen Zheng just saw clearly that she was holding the blade inwards and the back of the knife towards Xiao Yuan, and she had no intention of attacking him.

"It's okay. He's a constable from Tongan County. You'll get to know him later."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at Xiao Yuan who was sitting on the ground crying, "You kid..."

Darker and fatter.

It seems that men really gain weight after marriage.

Xiao Yuan stared at her blankly, tears streaming down his face.

She gently stroked her sleeves with her fingertips, walked over to his side, squatted down, and smiled at him, holding back her tears: "Why are you crying? You're already married, and you're still scared to tears by the back of a knife?"

Xiao Yuan still didn't say anything. Seeing this, she felt sad. She raised her palm and waved it in front of him, "Are you really scared? I don't want stupid detectives in Tongan County."

"I'm not, not scared..." Xiao Yuan said, his nose running down.

He looked Shen Zheng up and down for many times, then suddenly cried out, "Sir, I miss you, Brother Zhao misses you, Master Xu misses you, everyone misses you. Are you, are you not going back to the county?"

Meeting his cautious gaze, Shen Zheng could no longer control her emotions and turned away.

"What nonsense! I'm almost done with my work here. I'll be back soon after I'm done."

"But, but they all said that when you finish one thing, there will be another one waiting for you. You can stay in Shangjing until you finish the remaining year or so of your term, and then you can stay in Shangjing directly..."

"You're just imagining things!" Shen Zheng's voice was hoarse. She stood up and held out her hand. "Come on, get up. You've just arrived in Beijing and you're already sitting on the ground crying. How embarrassing! People will laugh at you for being so naive."

Xiao Yuan buried his head, grabbed her wrist and stood up. After standing up, he kept brushing off the dust from her sleeves.

"Oh, that's enough, that's enough." Shen Zheng pulled back her sleeves, put her hands behind her back, and looked down at the Constable badge on his waist. "How come after not seeing you for a few months, you've become so shy?"

"I was scared all the way..." Xiao Yuan raised his head, his eyes red. "I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to see you, but I was also afraid that if I saw you, you would just say you wouldn't go back..."

No matter which possibility it was, he was too embarrassed to return to Tongan County.

As he spoke, he started to cry again. Shen Zheng had no choice but to take out a handkerchief and throw it to him, asking him to wipe his tears.

After a while, he finally calmed down, and Shen Zheng finally spoke: "Xiao Yuan, I should be able to return to the county next month. You can stay in Shangjing for the time being, and then we can go back together, how about it?"

Xiao Yuan raised his head in a daze.

How to describe this feeling?

It's like... taking a huge, huge reassurance pill.
