Whether in ancient times or modern times, sacrifices to the gods must be made before starting work, especially in ancient times.

The weather is nice today. It has rained for a few days and it is finally sunny today.

Early in the morning, Lu Ruoyu went to arrange the things needed for the sacrifice, and Song Jinshu was also pulled up by several sisters to pack his luggage.

As the chief official of Jingyang County, she was the one who presided over such a major event as the worship of the river god and burned incense and prayed for smooth sailing.

Song Yunfu's beautiful eyes lit up slightly, and she praised softly, "Sister, you look so beautiful! You look even more graceful in this official robe."

The others also echoed, even the youngest seventh sister Song Yunrong said sweetly: "Yes! I wonder how much more majestic my eldest sister is than my father in this dress!"

Everyone's lips curled up slightly when they heard this. Their father, who died early, always had a dream of becoming an official. Before he died, he also wanted to borrow the official robes of his eldest sister.

He had been ill for a long time at that time and was as thin as a bamboo pole. The clothes looked totally out of place on him. How could they look good?

Song Jinshu also thought of her weird father, a Phoenix man. Because of his good looks, he seduced the young lady of the Liu family, her mother Liu, to be his wife willingly.

Unfortunately, her mother was a love-brained person in her early years, and was completely controlled by Fenghuang's father, who even used her dowry to marry a concubine.

Later, when the Liu family fell into trouble, her father could no longer hide his scumbag nature and took in several concubines one after another.

Liu fell seriously ill and only then did she see the true nature of Fenghuang's father. Before she died, she used up all her dowry to help her former master get an official position.

Knowing clearly that Phoenix's father was a scumbag, she was worried, so she hardened her heart and put a chronic poison in his kidney medicine.

Slowly, she waited until he finally closed his eyes, and only then did Liu leave with peace of mind.

"Ugh!"

"Why are you sighing, eldest sister? Are you missing daddy?"

The second sister Song Yunqing saw that her brows were furrowed, and thought that it was the seventh sister who mentioned her father that caused her sadness.

Among all the girls in this room, only the eldest sister has ever had fatherly love.

If their mother had not been kind, these girls would probably have been dropped to death when they were just born.

So when talking about their deceased father, no one looked sad.

Song Jinshu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No! It's getting late, I have to run some errands. If you guys have nothing to do, you can go out for a walk.

The top of the hill near the dam.

All the important people in Jingyang County came, and the village chiefs of each village had gathered here early.

Everyone turned their eyes to the dam mouth where there was a big hole but water was still flowing, their eyes full of anxiety and uneasiness.

"Alas! I wonder if the magistrate's plan will work? If not, the rainy season is about to arrive, what will happen to our crops?"

"Humph! You're still worried about the crops. If there really were a flood, it's hard to say whether you could survive."

Lu Ruoyu saw this scene and was very confident in Song Jinshu's method.

If this move succeeds, their Jingyang County will become famous throughout the world, and there is even a chance that their name will be recorded in history.

Seeing that the time was approaching and Song Jinshu still hadn't appeared, someone couldn't help but ask Lu Ruoyu, "Sir, County Magistrate, when will the County Magistrate arrive?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw Song Jinshu sitting on an ox cart with a carrot hanging on a stick. The scene looked funny and hilarious.

"..."

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Song Jinshu felt a little embarrassed. He jumped out of the car, took the carrot and threw it to the cow, stroking its soft head and turning his attention back to the people present.

"I'm so sorry, everyone! This cow is exhausted and has broken down several times along the way. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

How could anyone present dare to blame the boss of Jingyang County? It was not too late to refuse.

"County Magistrate Lu, let's get started!"

The time was just right, and Song Jinshu led the residents of Jingyang County to worship the river.

She recited the words Lu Ruoyu gave her without any trouble, and followed the instructions to complete the process.

"May Jingyang County enjoy favorable weather this year, next year, and the year after, and may all businesses flourish, and may prosperity flourish, and may the people live and work in peace and contentment..."

Finally, they threw away the firecrackers they bought from the next county and officially started digging the canal!

The people cheered symbolically and came to their respective areas to start working.

Song Jinshu was not idle either. He pulled Lu Ruoyu and the yamen runners to roll up their sleeves and join the villagers in digging a canal.

The villagers looked at her in disbelief. How could there be an official in this world who would work with them?

There were two extremely fiery gazes in the distance. One of them was from Village Chief Zhang. He was secretly proud and said that Lord Song must be a good official and he would definitely hold Lord Song's thigh tightly in the future.

The other one was Wang Laoer. He saw Song Jinshu working in the fields with his own eyes, and judging from her appearance, she seemed experienced. He guessed that she must have been so approachable in the past.

In order to keep up with the county magistrate, he spat into his hands, picked up the hoe and started working frantically.

Song Jinshu dug a few times and then felt a black screen in front of his eyes. The original body's physical fitness was too poor.

Just as I came to my senses, I saw Wang Laoer’s arms shining in front of me. His muscles looked very powerful!

She secretly clicked her tongue. This guy was really working so hard! But she liked people who worked so hard.

I'll observe him for a few more days. If he's useful, I'll definitely keep him.

Lu Ruoyu was earnestly digging the three-acre field in front of her, but out of the corner of her eye she noticed Song Jinshu's fixed gaze on Wang Laoer.

He pursed his lips, feeling an inexplicable emotion in his heart, but it only flashed by and he didn't care.

Time passed by like this, and after working for a whole morning, everyone was exhausted and out of breath.

Song Jinshu was so hungry that she felt she could eat a whole cow!

"Why isn't dinner ready yet? County Magistrate Lu, have you arranged for someone to cook?"

She looked at Lu Ruoyu eagerly, as if she would eat him on the spot if he dared to say no.

The people around heard the conversation between the two people. Although they did not dare to stop their actions, they all pricked up their ears.

They also want to ask, when will dinner be served?

Lu Ruoyu felt that the hungry Song Jinshu in front of her was like a paper tiger without claws, weak and funny.

He looked up at the sky. It was almost time, it was time to arrive.

"Don't worry, sir. We should be arriving soon. Why don't you go upstairs, wash your hands, and rest for a while?"

Song Jinshu was thinking about this. She shook off the mud on her body, but it made her even dirtier. She had no choice but to ignore it for the time being and climbed up using both hands.

Looking at the dusty villagers, she shouted, "Everyone, come up and rest for a while! It's almost time for dinner. Let's eat before we start working again!"

It's about the same as these few times...

The villagers couldn't wait any longer, but because Song Jinshu was present, no one dared to act wildly, so they had to work hard.

After receiving her order, everyone felt relieved and quickly reached the shore with their hoes.
