Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Lin Dachang was pushed onto the beheading platform by the yamen runners and tied tightly to the pillar with thick hemp ropes. The executioner stood beside him holding a ghost-head knife.

Old Lady Bai threw herself on the railing in the audience, crying heartbreakingly, her voice breaking into a chord:

"My dear son! If you were gone, how would I live? It's all that evil star's fault!

It was Bai Wanwan, that calamity star, who brought you to death!"

She stared at Bai Wanwan in the direction of the teahouse with resentful eyes.

Bai Wanwan mouthed silently, "You are the disaster star. Your whole family is the disaster star."

Since she was a child, she has been labeled as a disaster star by this family, but wherever she goes, she can always help those around her find hope. She is obviously the lucky star.

Lin Zaozao's tone was full of accusations: "Bai Wanwan, are you satisfied now? Are you willing to force my family to the point of destruction?"

Bai Wanwan just felt angry and amused.

This family always blames others for anything that happens, and never considers that their greed, gambling, and harsh treatment of others are the root causes of their family's ruin.

Bai Wanwan watched Lin Dachang's head fall to the ground before she stood up.

Old Lady Bai fainted from anxiety. Lin Dasheng rushed in and said, "Bai Wanwan, is this the result you wanted? He is your uncle, your uncle! You evil girl."

Bai Wanwan waved her hand, and the entire restaurant was empty. She smiled and said, "Dear uncle, have you ever seen an uncle hit his niece? You saw it all, didn't you?"

"He...he was just confused for a moment."

"Hahaha... what a momentary confusion! You Lin family never think about whether you have made any mistakes, and always think that all the mistakes are someone else's.

I don't want to argue with you pointlessly, just pay your debt slowly!" Bai Wanwan turned and left.

"Wanwan... Wanwan... Dad was wrong..."

Bai Wanwan didn't even turn her head and turned away.

She recently became the governor and is very busy every day.

Every day before dawn, she had to get up quickly, put on her official uniform, and rush to the morning court.

While standing there listening to arrangements from above, I had to hold back even a yawn and not dare let anyone see.

As soon as the morning court session was over, she had even less time to spare.

In the morning, I have to go to the government office to calculate local taxes. After eating a few mouthfuls of food at noon, I have to meet with the gentry who come to report the situation in the afternoon.

In the evening, I still have to check the disaster records reported from various places. What to do in each time period is packed and there is no time at all.

There were some tasks that gave her even more headaches. When she first took over, many things were not sorted out, the previous records were messy and incomplete, and some things that should have been done were not done clearly.

Now she not only has to deal with daily affairs, but also has to find time to make up for the previous holes.

I have to sort out all those messy things that have not been done yet. I am busy every day until dark and don’t even have time to drink a cup of hot tea.

Bai Wanwan was busy until the evening. She stretched and felt that the surroundings were too quiet. She looked up and saw Gu Sinian sitting not far away. She asked, "Is the work done?"

Bai Wanwan chuckled and said, "Brother Si Nian, why are you here?"

Gu Sinian looked at her and asked, "Can you finish all this work?"

Bai Wanwan sighed and said, "I have to do it even if I can't finish it! I don't know what my predecessor did for a living, leaving me with so much debt."

Gu Sinian smiled and said, "Let's take our time with these things. Let's eat something first!"

Gu Sinian took out a few side dishes from the food box beside him, handed them to Bai Wanwan and said, "Have some dinner first. It's so late, I'm afraid you haven't eaten yet?"

Bai Wanwan nodded and took the dishes and chopsticks: "You know me best."

Looking down, she saw that the table was filled with her favorite dishes and a cup of milk tea. She couldn't help but smile: "You even brought me milk tea, you really understand me!"

After Bai Wanwan had eaten and drunk her fill, she remembered the important matter and asked, propping up her chin, "By the way, Brother Si Nian, who are we going to choose as the crown prince this time? Could it be you?"

Gu Sinian shook his head and said calmly, "I have no interest in being the emperor."

"Who could that be?"

Bai Wanwan frowned:

"Sixth Brother is definitely not suitable. He has a personality like a madman and beats people at every turn. If he were to become the emperor, wouldn't it be a mess?

None of the other princes are particularly suitable...

Who is it? Couldn't you have told me in advance? "

Gu Sinian still shook his head: "You will know when the time comes. It will be officially announced in a few days."

Bai Wanwan had no choice but to curl her lips and shrug:

"Okay, okay, I didn't expect you to be so tight-lipped now. You won't say anything no matter what I ask.

But it doesn't matter whether I say it or not. Anyway, the situation in the court is now stable, and my father will be returning to the court soon."

Gu Sinian raised his hand and touched Bai Wanwan's head, his tone gentle:

"We are going to hold the imperial examination soon, and the court is in urgent need of manpower.

I just want to recruit some people with real skills and see if I can find some available talent."

Bai Wanwan's eyes lit up and she leaned forward:

"Are we really going to hold a special examination? Then won't all the students in our academy have to come to the capital?

Let me tell you, there's a very smart kid in our academy, only one year older than me, and his brain works faster than anyone else's!"

"In every academy examination, he always ranked first, and even the teachers could not find any fault with him.

The dean often praised him, saying he was a rare talent.

Bai Wanwan sighed and said:

"It's a pity that his family is so poor that he has to save even his brushes, ink, paper and inkstone.

If his family was better off, and he didn't have to study in the academy while helping with housework, he might be even more outstanding! "

Gu Sinian pursed his lips, his eyes filled with inquiry. "What's the name of this student? How could he be so highly regarded by you?"

Bai Wanwan chuckled, her eyes full of recognition for the talent:

“I just think he’s a rough diamond!

If he could really take part in the Enke exam, I think he would definitely be in the top three on the gold list."

Gu Sinian looked at her cheerful expression and asked softly, "What about you? You're praising him so much, do you think you like him?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Bai Wanwan immediately glared at him and said hurriedly:

"I just value talent! Besides, I'm the prefect of the Southern Territory.

My jurisdiction can produce such a good seedling. If he can pass the exam, I will be proud of it!"

Gu Sinian nodded calmly and said:

"I know you're dedicated to your work, but don't stay up too late.

Come on, I'll take you out for a walk and relax."

Bai Wanwan's eyes lit up and she nodded in agreement: "Alright, it's a good time to take a break."

The two walked side by side and soon arrived at a place.

Looking up, I saw an extremely large and magnificent building, so majestic that it was hard to take my eyes off it.

As soon as you step into the pavilion, melodious music floats over.

Inside was actually a place specifically for watching performances, with singing and dancing performances of various styles on the stage.

A group of dancers dressed in long skirts with water sleeves embroidered with lotus flowers on the hem, spun and danced to the tune of "Rainbow Skirt", their sleeves fluttering like flowing clouds.
