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

Since they were going to the provincial capital, Song Jinshu went downstairs to arrange for the servants to get ready.

Suddenly she had an idea and ordered her servants to send a message to Lu Ruoyu, asking him if he wanted to go with her.

The servant reported that he also wanted to go with them. Song Jinshu's mouth corners unconsciously raised, and he was in a good mood.

All the Song sisters will go except the youngest Song Yunrong and the introverted and quiet sixth sister Song Yunjie.

Therefore, the Liu family arranged three carriages, and Song Jinshu, Lu Ruoyu and Liu Jingmo rode in the same carriage.

Song Yunbing took the fourth sister Song Yunyu in one car, and the third sister Song Yunqing took the fifth sister Song Yunfu and Liu Jiangyue in another.

A group of three carriages drove one after another on the official road leading to the provincial capital.

They talked and laughed along the way, and Song Jinshu was not idle either. He asked them to play Landlord.

Unsurprisingly, Lu Ruoyu was the one who lost the most. This time they were not playing for money, and whoever lost would have a note given to them.

By the time they arrived at the provincial capital, Lu Ruoyu had more than ten bandages on her body, and her face could not be seen clearly.

Song Jinshu held back his laughter and helped him tear off the notes one by one, while Lu Ruoyu shook his head helplessly and dotingly.

He seemed to be particularly bad at the word 'gambling'.

"We're here! There are a lot of people in the city today, so we need to walk into the city."

Liu Jingmo just glanced at Lu Ruoyu with pity, then looked at Song Jinshu and said.

"Well! Let's get off!" She jumped out of the carriage first.

Liu Jingmo followed, and Lu Ruoyu got off the carriage gracefully only after making sure that she had no note on her.

The Liu family's carriage was temporarily parked by the driver at a farm not far outside the city, so that it would be convenient for them to get there when they return tomorrow.

A bustling crowd of people poured into the tall gate of the city.

Song Jinshu stood under the magnificent high wall, gazing at the big words "Shun'an Prefecture".

It’s a big city as expected, the display is quite impressive!

This was her first time to visit the provincial capital and witness the ancient and charming buildings. She deeply admired the wisdom of the ancients.

It’s unbelievable that such a high city wall was built by hand alone without any machines!

Seeing her staring at the ancient city name in deep thought, Lu Ruoyu was a little puzzled, so she just stood quietly behind her and waited.

Several sisters of the Song family got off the car, and after everyone was gathered, they entered the city together.

Song Yunyu was the first to sigh, "Shun'an Prefecture is so lively! And it's so much more prosperous than Jingyang County!"

Hearing Song Yunyu's words, Song Yunqing frowned. She really didn't know who her sister took after.

In order to prevent her from causing trouble after entering the city, Song Yunqing leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words.

This made Song Yunyu roll his eyes, but he didn't dare to say anything else.

After entering the city, Liu Jingmo first took them to a small courtyard of his own. The courtyard was not big, just enough for each of them to have a room.

Lu Ruoyu did not stay, but chose the nearby Fulai Inn.

As for Liu Jingmo, since he came to the provincial capital, he naturally had to go home first.

He came back half an hour later and brought his sister Liu Lanru with him.

Liu Lanru liked Song Yunbing very much, and the two of them chatted affectionately for a long time.

After having a quick meal, the group went out shopping.

Several girls like to go to jewelry and clothing stores, but Song Jinshu is not interested.

After asking Liu Lanru to help take care of her younger sisters, she took Lu Ruoyu away.

She had just been paying attention to her surroundings, and occasionally noticed that there were quite a few Hu merchants with deep facial features and high noses at the end of the pier.

She wanted to follow him and try her luck.

Seeing her rushing towards the dock with a clear goal in mind, Lu Ruoyu knew what she wanted to do.

He followed silently, then whispered in her ear, "The Hu merchants don't speak our language, so communication is difficult. If we want to do business with them, we need to hire a tongue-teller."

Tongue people refer to people who work as translators. They specialize in learning the language of the Hu people and then make a living by translating.

Song Jinshu was very surprised, but then he understood that although the current emperor was very stingy in rewarding officials, he was a wise ruler.

Although there were some dirty dealings with some neighboring countries, most of them were harmless, and he also encouraged foreign trade.

Therefore, there were many Hu merchants in the Jinghe Dynasty.

"Ruoyu, do you know where I can rent a tongue man?"

She is just a country bumpkin here. She arrived in Jingyang County as soon as she crossed over, and the farthest place she has been to is Dafang County.

Not to mention the original owner, who didn't care about anything else except eating, drinking and having fun.

Lu Ruoyu nodded slightly and led her around in turns, and they arrived in a cup of tea.

It is a standard courtyard house with people coming and going at the door, and business is pretty good.

A short, fat, middle-aged man with a round belly saw them and his eyes lit up. He stepped forward and asked, "Are you two here to buy or sell a house, or to rent one?"

Song Jinshu suddenly realized that there were so many people renting here. It turned out that this was a real estate agency!

"We are pig tongue openers!"

The man looked delighted, welcomed the person in, served tea, and then called out the tongue man as Song Jinshu had requested.

Song Jinshu asked a few simple questions and chose a woman who spoke little.

The woman didn't expect that someone would choose her, and she cried with joy. She had been here for half a year, and if she didn't make any more orders, she would probably be fired.

Song Jinshu paid a deposit and would pay the balance after the work was completed.

The woman followed Song Jinshu to the dock. On the way, the woman told Song Jinshu some tips on negotiating prices with merchants.

Song Jinshu was impressed by her speaking skills. She didn't expect there was such a unique way of bargaining. It was really eye-opening.

At the dock, Song Jinshu looked around and then stopped in front of a stall owned by a foreign merchant.

"Boss, how much is this?" she asked, picking up an exquisite three-layer makeup box.

The makeup box in front of me is exquisite and beautiful. The whole box looks like a work of art.

She thought that Song Yunbing was about to get married, so it was a good opportunity to put makeup on her.

Little girls all like such beautiful and useless things.

The tongue man immediately translated with the Hu merchant, and then quoted a price to Song Jinshu. It was a little expensive, but Song Jinshu liked it very much. After some bargaining, he finally bought the makeup box.

Then she went to other stalls and bought a few small items for other people as souvenirs.

Then she stopped at a stall and saw a white jade hairpin on the stall. It was simple and elegant, and she fell in love with it at first sight.

Unfortunately, the hairpin was ridiculously expensive, so Song Jinshu left with reluctance.

While her mind was elsewhere, Lu Ruoyu quietly left for a quarter of an hour, and then quietly followed her footsteps.

You can vaguely see that there is something extra in his arms.

The tongue man noticed and laughed silently...

This young couple is really interesting, especially the young man, who seems to be a caring person.

This lady is so lucky, unlike the old man in her family who does nothing all day long.

After walking around for so long and not seeing what he wanted, Song Jinshu gradually lost his patience and became a little disappointed.

Suddenly she noticed something familiar and ran around the crowd.
