Song Jinshu was familiar with the person leading the way. He was Lu Chuan's former younger brother in the escort agency.

When he saw Song Jinshu, Wang Tieniu, a burly man of 1.8 meters, actually cried out in grievance.

Song Jinshu's body stiffened. He tried hard to control his complicated emotions and patted his lower back soothingly.

There is no way she can only take pictures here...

"Tie Niu! What injustice have you suffered? I will definitely help you."

Wang Tieniu awkwardly turned his head away and wiped away his tears: "Lu Tou and Master Liu were detained by the Zhao Jun governor in Beizhou. We can't save them."

At the end of his speech, Wang Tieniu lowered his head guiltily. The 1.8-meter-tall man looked like a wronged wife.

Song Jinshu sighed and soothed, "Yes! I know. I've already sent people to Beizhou to take care of them. Once we've investigated what happened, we'll rescue them."

Wang Tieniu was both surprised and delighted. Could Lord Song have predicted this in advance?

Could it be that Lord Song had already known that Lu Tou and the others would be detained, and both sides were coordinating to put on a show? Yes, that must be the case. It seems that Lord Song is secretly doing something big.

But just one sentence made Wang Tieniu imagine things on his own, so Song Jinshu inexplicably received his enthusiastic admiration.

"Tie Niu, you've worked hard on this journey. Go back and rest first. Once you've rested, I'll reward you according to your merits."

……

After Tie Niu and his companions left, Song Jinshu felt a little better when he looked at the 100,000 kilograms of cotton in the warehouse.

"Add to that the cotton the county has grown this year, and if we save some, it will be enough for General Huo to use."

With Lu Ruoyu keeping an eye on Beizhou, Song Jinshu focused all his attention on making cotton.

It was winter now and snow could fall at any time. Because Beizhou's matter had delayed the progress of the cotton-padded clothes, Song Jinshu could only try to shorten the time.

The next day, an urgent job recruitment notice was posted. The villagers who had nothing to do in the winter and went to the city to find work immediately reported the matter back to the village.

Almost that afternoon, villagers who had signed up gathered outside the county government office.

Jingyang County made a lot of money this year. Song Jinshu was smart and hired students from the county school to register the villagers' information.

With the experience of previous recruitments, the registration went smoothly.

However, this time the recruitment was large in scale and involved a large number of people, so the contracts signed by the villagers were short-term. Everyone felt regretful but also satisfied.

We can have a prosperous year this year. With a clever and skillful woman at home, we can save more than ten taels of silver.

After working hard for about half a month, we finally finished the last batch of cotton coats when the first snow of this year fell.

Although it was a little late, it was finally completed. Huo Fang had already sent people to wait.

Song Jinshu assisted Huo Fang's personal soldiers in transporting the last batch of cotton clothes, and was finally able to stop and rest for a while.

On the 20th day of the 12th lunar month, as the New Year draws to a close, Jingyang County begins to become lively again, and wealthy families prepare New Year's goods early.

The Liu family also started preparing New Year's goods, but Old Madam Liu caught a cold, so the people who prepared the goods were given to Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Yao.

The doctor had just taken Madam Liu's pulse and prescribed medicine. He frowned and warned Madam Liu, "Medicine is three-quarters toxic. Your cold isn't serious. The reason it hasn't gotten better is because you're depressed."

"Please relax and don't worry too much."

Song Yunfu, who had been accompanying Old Madam Liu, had tears in her eyes. "Grandma, you must listen to the doctor and get well soon, otherwise your uncle won't be able to rest assured about you when you're away."

When mentioning her eldest son who hadn't returned yet, a trace of worry flashed across Old Madam Liu's eyes, but she smiled and said, "Okay, okay, Fu'er, don't worry. Your uncle is having a good time outside, I won't worry about him."

Song Yunfu curled her lips, not believing it at all. The doctor had already made his point, so she took the consultation fee and went back.

Song Jinshu also knew about Madam Liu's worries. She sighed and asked about the progress on Lu Ruoyu's side.

Lu Ruoyu was silent for a moment, then explained, "Things are more complicated than we imagined. The person behind this is very cunning. The clues I've found so far are just small fry."

If you want to play the long game and catch a big fish, you need more time.

Song Jinshu was very conflicted. It would not be difficult to rescue Lu Chuan and Liu Zhiyuan, but there was a high possibility that it would alert the people behind him, and then all his efforts during this period would be abandoned halfway.

It was just that she couldn't bear to see Old Madam Liu's health. Lu Ruoyu naturally heard about this. He said in a gentle voice: "Old Madam Liu is open-minded. Jinshu might as well tell her about this. The old lady will understand your intention."

Song Jinshu paused and looked across hesitantly: "Is it okay?"

"Of course!" Lu Ruoyu's mouth curled slightly.

Afterwards, Song Jinshu went to see Old Madam Liu, and gradually, Old Madam Liu's health improved visibly.

The New Year is approaching, and before New Year's Eve, villagers go to the city to buy New Year's goods.

Every family has earned a lot of money this year. With money, those who love their children will naturally not treat them badly.

The county school and technical training college also closed for vacation half a month in advance, so the teachers had some free time.

Hao Qiulan and his wife had nothing to do, so they set up a stall on the street and wrote couplets for the people for free.

Many students saw their respected teachers and masters setting up stalls on the street to serve the people, and they followed their example and wrote couplets for the people for free in the county, towns and villages.

Seeing this, the people had even greater respect for the county school. As long as the people of Jingyang County knew that the students were studying in the county school, they would treat them with courtesy.

The students felt the kindness of the people, and a sense of responsibility took root in their hearts. Even the students in the county school spontaneously taught the people to read during their breaks.

Song Jinshu was delighted to see this and openly encouraged the students. After receiving the county magistrate's praise, the students became more motivated.

After New Year’s Eve comes the New Year, and the New Year gifts sent from the Zhou Mansion in Kyoto are also delivered to the Song Mansion.

What surprised Song Jinshu was that both the emperor and Xiao Tan sent New Year gifts.

She could understand the emperor giving it to her, but Xiao Tan...

If she remembered correctly, they seemed to have a grudge against each other?

Xiao Tan believed that she was the one who broke up the couple, and it was good enough that he didn't come to her house to fight. Why would he send her a New Year gift to mend their relationship?

Song Jinshu thought for a moment that it might be addressed to Liu Jiangyue, so she flipped through it roughly and indeed found a letter personally addressed to her.

She really couldn't understand why Xiao Tan, who had such a strong sense of self-esteem, could still have the audacity to come to her when the relationship between them had become so tense before.

It seems that he really loves...

Song Jinshu was unable to make a decision for Liu Jiangyue, so she gave her all the things Xiao Tan sent. As for how Liu Jiangyue dealt with them, it was none of her business.

With her free time, Song Jinshu spent more time at home, and she finally noticed the abnormality of her family members.

After observing for a few days, Song Yunqing came back with a happy face for the nth time. The last time she saw such an expression was when it was on Song Yunbing.

Well, it seems that the Song family is going to have another wedding.

Afterwards, Song Jinshu hired Song Yunrong to follow Song Yunqing and find out who she had met, what she had done, and where she had been.

The final discovery surprised her.
