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

Tutor Zhou was drinking tea here. When he heard the news that Song Jinshu had returned to the county government office, he stood up to greet him.

Before I even stepped into the reception room, I saw Song Jinshu and the other person walk in.

After not seeing each other for more than half a year, Grand Tutor Zhou was still the same. Song Jinshu bowed and spoke with a sense of intimacy: "Old Zhou, why didn't you give me a heads-up before you came? That way I could prepare in advance."

Grand Tutor Zhou smiled, smoothed his beard, and waved his hand mysteriously, "I'm here for a serious matter, and it's a great joyous event for you. If I tell you in advance, the surprise you mentioned won't be there."

Song Jinshu looked helpless and amused. Even though he was old, he still had a playful spirit.

"So what good things do you bring me?"

When it came to business, Grand Tutor Zhou didn't keep the suspense any longer and solemnly asked for the imperial edict. Song Jinshu was a little surprised but not surprised.

All the people in the county government, headed by Song Jinshu, knelt down to receive the imperial edict. Tutor Zhou looked around and read out the contents of the imperial edict word by word in a very penetrating voice.

When she learned the content, Song Jinshu was shocked. Did Old Zhou come all the way here to give her a pie in the sky promised by the emperor?

Tutor Zhou was truly happy for Song Jinshu. This imperial edict was hard-earned and had caused a dispute in the court.

He tried his best to promote this decree, but unfortunately the other party was outnumbered and powerful, and the emperor almost couldn't handle it. Later, it was thanks to Censor Xiang and others who suddenly stood up and agreed.

"Xiao Song, this shows the emperor's high regard for you. As long as you don't make any mistakes during your five-year term in Jingyang County, you will be transferred to the position of County Magistrate of Shun'an Prefecture. Once you are familiar with the official duties of Shun'an Prefecture, you will be able to take over the position of County Magistrate."

This imperial edict from the emperor was a great relief to Song Jinshu, a county magistrate who was a successful candidate in the imperial examination.

You have to know that if the county magistrate of the provincial capital is not a Jinshi, even if she is rich and donates all her money, she cannot get him.

Moreover, she was just a mere juren, and it was a stroke of luck for her to be appointed as the county magistrate of Jingyang County. Besides, this place was desolate and no one was willing to come here.

Otherwise, even if she worked until her death, the highest official position she could get would be county magistrate.

Everyone present congratulated Song Jinshu, and Song Jinshu could only accept the blessings with a forced smile.

She read the imperial edict again and again, and a hint of disappointment flashed in the depths of her eyes. It would be better to give her some gold and silver!

Isn't that how it's played out in TV dramas? A reward of ten thousand taels of gold!

Song Jinshu's smile was not obvious, and Tutor Zhou thought she was so happy that she was silly, and sighed secretly.

Alas! What a pity! If she had entered the government as a Jinshi, with her successful leadership in avoiding the floods, protecting the people of Jingyang County, and controlling the spread of the plague, why would she have needed a five-year probation period?

When Tutor Zhou felt sorry for Song Jinshu, Lu Ruoyu tried hard to suppress the corners of her mouth. Others would rather get promoted, but she liked gold and silver.

Her personality is more suitable for business, but businessmen are not worthy of her talents.

"Since Lao Zhou is here, why don't you stay here for a while longer? You've never been to Jingyang County before, and I haven't treated you well!"

Song Jinshu put away his inner regret and sincerely invited Tutor Zhou to stay and play.

Tutor Zhou agreed with a smile. He had heard a lot of interesting stories along the way.

I also heard a lot about Jingyang County, such as the cotton-padded clothes that felt as warm as a stove, and the quilts that were soft, light, and warm.

As well as the most popular hot spring villas and novel mahjong, etc.

Every time he heard something, he became itchy and couldn't wait to try it himself.

As for the affairs in Kyoto, the emperor is far away, so I’ll deal with them after I have fun and go back!

Tonight, Master Zhou felt the warmth of his cotton-padded jacket. He held the thin and warm quilt in his arms and cried for half the night.

Finally, because I was old, I couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep in the warm bed.

This was the first time in his career that he overslept, and when he woke up it was already time for breakfast.

Song Jinshu hosted a banquet for all the people who came from Kyoto, and Taifu Zhou couldn't contain his excitement at the dinner table.

He really wanted to know the origins of the quilts and the cotton coats worn by people on the street.

It was a very cold day, and he wore seven or eight layers of clothes, but his hands and feet were still cold. However, the common people wore only single clothes, had rosy complexions, and looked relaxed and warm.

"Xiao Song, when will you take me to see the clothing workshop?"

He had found out that the cotton-padded clothes and quilts came from a clothing workshop, which was the property of the Liu family and Song Jinshu.

Tutor Zhou didn't think too much about it. He just simply and urgently wanted to see with his own eyes how cotton-padded clothes and quilts were made.

The clothes and quilts made from this material are so practical!

If this is promoted nationwide, how many fewer people will freeze to death every winter?

Just thinking about it made his chest surge, and even the food didn't taste good anymore.

Song Jinshu finished working on a pig's trotter, his face tangled as he said regretfully, "Old Zhou, don't worry! The workshop is right there and it doesn't have legs, so it can't run away!"

"Come and have some more! This pig's trotter is amazing!"

However, with cotton clothes and quilts in front of him, Master Zhou found the food tasteless even if it was delicious.

He was eager to fly to the clothing workshop to take a look, but he also knew that he had to wait for Song Jinshu to lead the way.

Lu Ruoyu shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Master Zhou was so anxious that he couldn't even sit still, but she was the only one who was calm and continued to sit still and enjoy eating her pig's trotters.

He's hungry looking at it...

Thinking of this, Lu Ruoyu also picked up the pig's trotter and took small bites of it. The two of them chewed on the pig's trotters as if no one was around, and Master Zhou's defense was instantly broken.

Do they know what this cotton coat means?

Looking at their heartless appearance, they really didn't know that Master Zhou was tired, so he took a pig's trotter and started to chew it.

I originally wanted to vent my anger, but I was unexpectedly bewitched by the delicious food. My restless heart was soothed and my hands moved much faster.

After eating and drinking their fill, the three of them raised their heads contentedly and burped inelegantly. Song Jinshu took the wet handkerchief handed to him by Lu Ruoyu and wiped his hands and mouth.

She looked at Master Zhou, who was rubbing his belly with a satisfied smile on his face, and said with a smile on her face, "How is it? Isn't this pig's trotter super delicious?"

This was a gourmet restaurant that Song Jinshu accidentally discovered. She fell in love with it after eating there once, and she came here every few days since then.

Grand Tutor Zhou kept a straight face and nodded calmly: "Not bad! A little worse than the restaurant in Kyoto."

Song Jinshu shook his head helplessly. After washing their hands, the group strolled along the street and headed out of the city.

She had arranged for Wang Er to wait outside the city in a carriage. The clothing workshop was half an hour's journey from the county town.

It is impossible to walk. When Taifu Zhou learned about Song Jinshu's arrangement, he breathed a sigh of relief and his eyes were full of expectations.

Finally, I get to see how cotton-padded clothes are made!

In addition to the county government's carriage, there was also a luxurious carriage outside the city.

Standing next to him was Liu Jingmo. He heard that Song Jinshu was going to take Tutor Zhou to the clothing workshop, so as one of the owners, he naturally had to come and accompany them.
