Transmigrated into a corrupt female county magistrate, defied fate and changed her life in a deserte

The Song sisters all looked at Song Jinshu.

"Third sister, I have an idea to free your hands! There are only about a dozen mooncakes, and making them one by one is time-consuming and laborious..."

Why didn't you think of copying the pattern and having a carpenter carve the mooncake pattern into the shape? Then you just need to make the mooncake balls and press them into shape with a mold before frying and baking?"

After listening to Song Jinshu's advice, everyone's eyes were filled with clear stupidity.

Song Jinshu sighed, explained it further, and finally understood.

Liu Jiangyue's eyes sparkled: "Cousin, if that's the case, can you also copy the patterns of the cakes in our shop?"

"If I could just copy it, Third Sister would have a lot less trouble. She wouldn't have to get up early every day!"

The room was buzzing with discussion about the patterns to be copied.

Amidst laughter and joy, the mooncakes were shaped and Song Yunqing put them in a pan to fry.

While waiting, the Liu family sent Mid-Autumn Festival gifts.

Song Jinshu had nothing to do, so she went to meet the guest in person. When she saw the familiar face, the corners of her mouth twitched.

"Master Liu, won't you return to Shun'an Mansion to reunite with your family?"

Except for Old Man Liu, all the members of the Liu family were in Shun'an Mansion. She thought that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, their family should return to Shun'an Mansion to celebrate the festival.

"Students wish Master Song a happy Mid-Autumn Festival." Liu Jingmo said a blessing with a smile, and then explained: "Grandpa has returned to Jingyang County now, and my parents and brothers and sisters will naturally come to accompany Grandpa to celebrate the festival."

Song Jinshu nodded to show her understanding. She didn't think there was anything wrong with his self-proclaimed title.

Although Liu Jingmo did not continue to take the imperial examinations to pursue a career in officialdom, he still had some achievements to his credit. He had passed the examination for a scholar two years ago, so he had no problem calling himself a student to Song Jinshu.

"These are Mid-Autumn Festival gifts. They're not expensive. They're all things I sell at home."

It was obvious that the Liu family had heard that Song Jinshu did not accept valuables. The Liu family had also been in contact with her for some time and knew that she was serious.

Therefore, Mrs. Liu picked up some writing brushes, inkstones, and other items that were neither impolite nor too expensive.

Song Jinshu took a quick look. Although she couldn't understand why these things were so valuable, she could tell from the material that these 'cheap' things couldn't be cheap either.

"Please thank Madam Liu and the old man for me. You came at the right time. My sisters made mooncakes today. You can take some back for your family!"

A batch of mooncakes has been prepared and is just right to be given to Liu Jingmo as a return gift.

Liu Jingmo did not refuse and waited obediently there, waiting for Song Jinshu to get the mooncakes.

In the kitchen, Song Yunbing looked outside from time to time. When he saw Song Jinshu, he walked forward with the food box.

"Who is that outside, elder sister?"

Song Jinshu thought she was just curious and said casually, "Oh! It's the young master of the Liu family."

Just as she finished speaking, she realized that they had an unpleasant memory. She explained awkwardly, "It's a Mid-Autumn Festival gift sent to us on behalf of Mrs. Liu and Mr. Liu."

"Second sister, please help me pack a box of mooncakes. I'll take it back to the Liu family as a return gift!"

Song Yunbing lowered her head with blushing cheeks, and shyly handed over the food box in her hand.

"Just now I thought that my elder sister might want to return the gift to the guests, so I packed it in advance!"

After saying that, she put the food box into Song Jinshu's arms and ran back to the kitchen.

This scene was seen by Concubine Xiang in the corner. There was a hint of joy in her eyes. It seemed that she was going to start preparing a dowry for Bing'er.

Song Jinshu looked at Song Yunbing's back and felt strange in his heart, as if he had overlooked something.

Oh! If you can’t think of it, forget it!

Song Jinshu brought mooncakes to Liu Jingmo as a return gift and watched him leave.

It was still early and someone was doing the housework. Song Jinshu informed Aunt Qiu and asked her to pay attention to the visitors at the gate. After giving her instructions, he went out for a stroll.

Today, Jingyang County has changed. Red lanterns and couplets are hung in every household on the streets.

Song Jinshu also had people decorate the front of the county government office, and it looked festive everywhere.

There were vendors setting up stalls on both sides of the street, and people were also walking into the city to buy goods.

She looked around and bought a few things that her daughter liked, preparing to take them back home as gifts for her sisters.

"Hey! I heard that the Liu family invited people to perform at the gate for this year's Mid-Autumn Festival! After dinner, let's go to the Liu family to watch the show!"

"Oh! Really? Then we have to go back and talk to our family. We have to eat early. If we come too late, we might not be able to get a good seat!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Come on! Let's go home quickly."

The Liu family invited people to perform opera? Song Jinshu thought about it and realized that wealthy families seemed to invite people to perform opera at their doorsteps during festivals.

It also means allowing ordinary people to watch the show for free, in order to gain a good reputation.

After all, when people have money, they want fame and fortune...

"Oh!" Song Jinshu sighed. If she had the money, she would have held a lantern riddle guessing game in the county town this Mid-Autumn Festival.

Then we can also organize some raffles or something to bring some joy to the people.

Song Jinshu shook his head and sighed: "It's all because of lack of money!"

"grown ups?"

Song Jinshu: Why does she look familiar? Is that right?

"Sir, are you going to see a play tonight too?" Lu Ruoyu asked again from behind.

He had seen Song Jinshu when she left the house, and followed her silently. He didn't expect that she was so weak in guard and didn't notice anything at all.

Song Jinshu turned around and looked at Lu Ruoyu who was walking towards him: "Isn't County Magistrate Lu going back to spend the holiday with his elders?"

She remembered that he had a grandmother at home, and Lu Ruoyu's registered residence was in Shun'an Prefecture, so he could go home and spend the holidays with his grandmother if he could.

Lu Ruoyu paused for a moment, then quickly recovered as before, smiling faintly: "Home is a long way away, and my aunt missed my grandmother so much that she brought her over to celebrate the festival a few days ago."

"Is that so?" Song Jinshu said embarrassedly.

"then you…"

"No problem!" He had long been accustomed to living alone.

Song Jinshu pursed her lips, and without knowing what to say, the two of them walked side by side for a while.

"I heard that the prefectural city holds a riddle guessing competition every Mid-Autumn Festival. I've never seen one in my life! Your family lives in Shun'an Prefecture, so you must have seen it many times, right?"

In order to ease the awkwardness, Song Jinshu changed the subject.

Lu Ruoyu's body stiffened. He pursed his lips and nodded lightly: "Yeah! On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the streets are full of all kinds of beautiful lanterns, and at night the lights are dim..."

Just listening to Song Jinshu, I felt that such a scene was very beautiful.

"When we make some money this year, we'll organize a lantern riddle guessing competition next Mid-Autumn Festival, and then we can go out and have fun together!"

"Okay! Listen to you!"

Song Jinshu smiled, and they chatted all the way without realizing it. He sent her back to the county government office first and watched her go.

Looking at the person behind him, Song Jinshu felt a little reluctant and wanted to invite him to celebrate the festival together, but it was not convenient because there were only women in the family.
