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

The exquisite carriage stopped at the gate of Cui Mansion.

Before getting off the car, Taotao held an umbrella for Cui Jinyin.

After taking two steps toward the gate, Cui Jinyin extended her hand from under the umbrella, looked at her palm, and said, "Taotao, is the rain...getting heavier?"

Taotao stuck her head out of the umbrella, felt it for a moment, and then answered, "It seems to be a little big. I will put on a simple dress for you later. After you see the master, you can go back to your room and change into it. How about that?"

Cui Jinyin lifted the hem of her skirt and shook her head, saying, "Forget it. I'll stay here today and go back to the Xu residence tomorrow."

A group of people came to the main courtyard holding paper umbrellas.

As soon as she entered the hospital, Cui Jinyin smelled a strong smell of medicine.

What she hates most is this smell, which always brings her back to her childhood.

She took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose, frowned and asked the housekeeper: "Didn't Grandfather sprain his ankle? Why does he need to drink medicine? This medicine smells so bad."

The butler lowered his head slightly, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

"Speak!" Cui Jinyin raised her voice.

"...Before, I was afraid that the young lady would worry, so I didn't tell you everything." The butler lowered his head, making it difficult to see his expression. "In fact, the master sprained his ankle because he suddenly had a high fever and felt dizzy after leaving the court today. When the master returned home, he was a little confused..."

"What?!" Cui Jinyin was shocked and quickened her pace towards the main house. "Grandfather has always been in good health. Why did he suddenly have a high fever after just attending the last morning court session? Have you called the court physician... no, have you called the doctor? What did the doctor say? If they can't cure him, send someone to the palace to call the imperial physician!"

Seeing her anxious look, the butler's mouth corners rose for a moment, then quickly fell.

"Yes, the palace physician and the doctors outside all said that the master's illness came out strangely, and it might be a result of accumulated depression." He walked two steps with Cui Jinyin, his voice tinged with sadness: "This old servant thinks that the master misses the young lady too much..."

As the words fell, the person who was walking fast in front also stopped.

"Missed me too much...?"

Guilt suddenly rose in my heart.

She suddenly began to doubt herself - should she have been so stubborn and stayed in the Xu Mansion for so long?

While she was feeling uneasy, she suddenly thought of someone.

"I'll go see Grandfather first. If those doctors can't cure me, I'll go to the Shen Mansion and ask Dr. Li to come!"

"No, Miss!" The housekeeper stepped forward and said, "The master's illness must not be publicized, especially since the master and Mr. Shen..."

My grandfather and Lord Shen have always been at odds.

After thinking for a moment, Cui Jinyin came up with an idea: "I won't publicize it. I'll just go to the Shen Mansion secretly to ask for help."

In this way, Doctor Li saved my grandfather, so my grandfather naturally had to thank Lord Shen for his kindness.

Who knows... maybe it will be possible to make the two of them resolve their conflict?

Cui Jinyin entered the bedroom damp all over.

"Ahem—" Cui Xiang half-closed his eyes, raised his hand tremblingly, and said to the figure in front of him: "Yin'er? But Yin'er is back? It's your grandfather who has wronged you. Your grandfather shouldn't have hit you. Don't, don't be angry with your grandfather again..."

Cui Jinyin's eyes suddenly became moist, and she squatted beside the bed and held his hand.

......

An hour later, at Shen's Mansion.

The rain showed no signs of stopping. Jiang Sheng entered the mansion through the back door with the shopping boy. Raindrops dripped down his straw raincoat, but in a blink of an eye, his feet were wet.

The servant wiped the rain off the mule with a handkerchief and said with a smile, "Manager Jiang, since the master is staying at home today, can we...eat some fresh food with the master?"

Jiang Sheng gave him a sullen look and shook the rain off his raincoat. "What's wrong? Is it because the adults treat us so well that you feel like we need to eat fresh vegetables every day to survive?"

The servant immediately covered his teeth with his lips and cried out, "Look at how many vegetables you bought... There's nothing we can't eat, and you just treat it as a fart."

As he spoke, he raised his handkerchief and waved it twice in front of his face, "Let this fart smell go away. Please don't mind."

"..." Jiang Sheng walked under the shed and took off his raincoat. "But you're right. The master said that we'll have an extra meal today. But the master will be returning to Tongan County soon. After he leaves, we can just order some more vegetables in the backyard. We're too lazy to go out to buy them."

After hearing his words, the servant's heart sank, "Master will be leaving soon..."

Wouldn't that mean we would have to live the same hard life as before?

Ugh.

In the words of scholars, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

Just as he was lamenting, someone knocked on the back door. Jiang Sheng was stunned for a moment, then walked forward in the rain to open the door.

Seeing the person holding an umbrella outside the door, he was even more stunned: "Miss Cui?"

"It's me." Cui Jinyin brought Taotao with her, her face anxious: "Is your master at home?"

"Are you looking for Master?" Jiang Sheng sensed something was amiss and was particularly cautious. "It's rainy, Miss Cui, please return to the car and wait for a moment. I'll go and ask if Master is at home."

Cui Jinyin didn't notice anything unusual, but just urged him: "Hurry up, if she is at home, tell her I have something urgent to do."

......

"Urgent?"

Shen Zheng was in the middle of the place. Just as she finished writing her reply to General Zhenyuan and was looking at the account books of the bookstores and cloth shops in Shangjing, she heard Jiang Sheng say that Cui Jinyin had an urgent matter.

"An urgent matter through the backdoor?"

She really couldn't understand what kind of "urgent matter" could make Miss Cui willing to use the back door.

"Yes." Jiang Sheng secretly wiped the water stains on the ground with the sole of his shoe, thinking back, "Miss Cui looked very anxious, and she didn't seem to be faking it. Her maid was holding a... box in her arms."

After pondering for a moment, Shen Zheng put away the reply letter and the account book, "Take her in through the main entrance. Tell her that if she doesn't come in through the main entrance, I won't see her."

If Cui Jinyin was not the granddaughter of Prime Minister Cui, she would not have made such a request.

A quarter of an hour later, Cui Jinyin hurriedly entered Ziyiju with Taotao. In her panic, she slipped and took three steps away.

Hua Duo led her into the study. She stood firm and the first thing she said was, "Master Shen, please save my grandfather!"

Shen Zheng started playing: "What did you say?"

She, Shen Zheng, saved Cui Xiang?

Was it a mistake?

She didn't even ask Prime Minister Cui not to harm her, but Prime Minister Cui asked her to save her?

"It's Doctor Li. Please send Doctor Li to save my grandfather." Cui Jinyin pleaded, "My grandfather is seriously ill. The palace doctors and doctors outside the palace said they couldn't cure him. They also said that only Doctor Li in your palace could help. That's why I..."

After saying this, she asked Taotao to place the box on the table and opened it, saying, "These are a small gift from the mansion. I hope you can put aside your past grudges for now. Please ask Doctor Li to accompany me to the Cui Mansion. The Cui Mansion will calculate Doctor Li's consultation fee separately, and we will definitely not treat him unfairly!"

Looking at the box of treasures, Shen Zheng slowly sat back in her chair.

"Is Lord Cui suffering from an acute illness?" she asked again.

"Yes, it's an emergency!" Cui Jinyin nodded repeatedly: "He was fine this morning, but now he is bedridden!"
