Transmigrated into a corrupt female county magistrate, defied fate and changed her life in a deserte
Chapter 204 Royal Merchant
Shen Fenghua, dressed in dark red and purple clothes, with charming peach blossom eyes and a faint smile, walked towards Song Jinshu in a standard square step.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, Master Song, have you forgotten me?"
Song Jinshu sighed inwardly, calling him a showoff, and said unhappily, "You still remember to come back! It's a pity it's too late. Someone has already taken your place."
After a pause, Song Jinshu reluctantly said, "However, considering that you have done a good job before, I will use my brain to find you a new position!"
After saying that, she looked at Shen Fenghua carefully, trying to test whether he would stay or leave after coming back this time.
Unfortunately, Shen Fenghua did not respond, so it seems he will not stay.
Shen Fenghua pursed her lips to conceal her emotional fluctuations, and chuckled as she showed the imperial edict in her hand.
"The emperor ordered me to deliver his decree."
Seeing this, the Song and Liu families, led by Song Jinshu, all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to receive the order.
The general meaning of the imperial edict was that the emperor was very happy to learn about the rice yield. He praised Song Jinshu again and again for how capable she was. He admired Song Jinshu so much and asked her to continue working hard to ensure a good harvest next year.
He also painted a big cake and gave Song Jinshu various exquisite ornaments to represent the emperor's great grace.
Song Jinshu would definitely not use those imperial gifts, nor could he sell them, so he could only burn incense and offer them as offerings for good luck.
Another thing is that the Liu family helped her grow rice, so they were given the title of imperial merchant and were able to sell their own products to the royal family.
Liu Jingmo and his wife burst into laughter. Song Yunbing, with her pregnant belly, was so excited that she almost fell down. Fortunately, Liu Jingmo was quick and helped her up in time.
Song Jinshu respectfully received the imperial edict, burned incense and offered sacrifices according to the procedure, went to the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors, and informed them of the news.
Fortunately, he had some experience before, so after going through the whole process, Song Jinshu was tired but did not make any mistakes.
After doing all this, Song Jinshu returned to the county government office. Shen Fenghua stood in the yard, looking around and recalling the past.
It has been almost a year since I left, and the county government office is still the same.
"Shen Fenghua! Would you like to reconsider working for me? Our Jingyang County is now developing as well as Kyoto, and the monthly wages of the yamen runners have increased several times."
"You are an old acquaintance. If you come over, the monthly silver will definitely not be less."
The amount of monthly salary is not important to Shen Fenghua. He knows that Song Jinshu is persuading him to stay, but unfortunately he is already deeply trapped in the vortex of power in Kyoto and it is difficult to extricate himself.
Thinking carefully, he realized that he had not relaxed for a long time. After coming to Jingyang County, he was like a fish entering the sea, free and carefree.
Shen Fenghua raised her lips and smiled, but the smile was somewhat bitter: "No, I will leave in three days."
Song Jinshu looked at him in surprise, a little reluctant to let him go. "Can't you stay a little longer? Jingyang County has changed a lot now. You finally got home, don't you want to go for a walk?"
Go home? Shen Fenghua's eyes deepened slightly. It turned out that in her heart, she had always regarded him as a relative?
For a moment, Shen Fenghua wanted to stay regardless of everything, but reason told him that he no longer had the right to choose.
Never mind, it’s enough to have had good memories.
"Kyoto has a lot of things to do, so I won't stay here for long. I'll come back to visit when I have time."
He was afraid that by the time he really had time in the future, things and people would have changed, and he was just saying these words to comfort himself.
Song Jinshu simply thought that he was really busy, so she didn't try to keep him. After all, she was a successful official and had received great favor from the emperor, so she could make further progress.
The highest position he could hold in his life was the prefect of Shunan Prefecture, which was not far from Jingyang County.
Even if she gets promoted and moves to the provincial capital in the future, she can come back and play anytime she wants.
Because Shen Fenghua came back tonight, Song Jinshu hosted a banquet and invited Lu Ruoyu and Liu Jingmo.
The four of them were old acquaintances, and after a few drinks, they started chatting.
Lu Ruoyu looked at Shen Fenghua, who was obviously much calmer, and said disdainfully, "Why do you become even less likable after going out?"
"I still prefer the way you chatter happily."
Being suddenly teased by her 'mortal enemy', Shen Fenghua rolled her eyes inelegantly and said with a pout, "Really? Then you have quite a unique taste. Do you want to take a bath with me again?"
When she heard about the couple's bath, Song Jinshu's eyes flickered slightly. She still remembered the scene she saw when the system gave her the wrong skills.
The gossipy spirit in my heart was ignited, my ears pricked up secretly, and I started to support the couple in person.
The Lu Ruoyu of today is no longer the naive person he used to be. He can even know what Song Jinshu is thinking just by the way she farts.
So when he saw her prick up her ears furtively, he glanced at her helplessly, then pushed away Shen Fenghua who was standing in front of him.
"If you don't want to be beaten again, come over here."
Shen Fenghua laughed wildly, as if he had returned to his original state of being aggressive. He let go of Lu Ruoyu and turned to look at Song Jinshu.
"Can you please get rid of the stuff in your head? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking about."
Song Jinshu awkwardly picked up a piece of pork ribs and chewed on it, pretending not to understand. Liu Jingmo, who had been silently watching all this, was envious.
The relationship between the iron triangle in Jingyang County is really great!
"Brother Shen, are you going to stay in Kyoto forever?" Liu Jingmo suddenly asked.
The other two looked at Shen Fenghua at the same time. Shen Fenghua was stunned. He couldn't get away easily now.
But who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
If he could be free, he would not stay alone in Kyoto.
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Fenghua said softly, "At least for the next five years, I will stay in Kyoto. Why did Brother Jing Mo ask me this question?"
Liu Jingmo grinned and said, "You know I'm a businessman. Jingyang County is rich in specialties now, and I intend to open a trade route from Jingyang County to Kyoto. After all, Kyoto is at the foot of the emperor, and the money I earn will only increase."
"Besides, my wife is about to give birth. After the child is born, I want to give him a better education environment and also want to build up a fortune for him while I am still young."
Hearing this, Shen Fenghua sighed in admiration: "Brother Jing Mo is really a good man. Do you want to ask me about the news in Kyoto, or do you want me to help you get involved?"
To him, this was just a small matter, but his identity was special and could not be known by too many people. If Liu Jingmo wanted to do business in Kyoto, he could only help him secretly.
"Brother Shen is the one who knows me best. To be honest, I have this in mind. The interpersonal relationships in Kyoto are complicated, and every business may involve high-ranking officials. I want to investigate in advance to see if my family's existing business will affect the interests of others."
The business can be expanded and strengthened. Now that their Liu family has the status of royal merchants, officials in small places will give the Liu family some face.
But it’s not necessarily the case in Kyoto.
Song Jinshu was not surprised that Liu Jingmo wanted to develop in Kyoto. Song Yunbing had already revealed this to her.
In the past, she thought that the Liu family had little background and might be suppressed if they went to Kyoto, but the emperor had already conferred the title of imperial merchant on the Liu family, so they could go out and try their luck.
