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

"Brother, why don't you pick it and taste it yourself and you'll know?"

Song Jinshu picked one at random and handed it to Huo Fang. After Huo Fang got the strawberry, he threw it into his mouth without hesitation.

Then the sweet taste of strawberry filled his mouth. Huo Fang's eyes lit up as he looked at Song Jinshu with joy.

"This fruit is different from watermelon and grapes, but it's quite delicious!"

"I'll have a few more!"

Huo Fang became addicted to eating strawberries and picked them by himself. Song Jinshu turned to look at Lu Ruoyu and chuckled.

"By the way, these strawberries were brought back to me by Ruoyu. Do you want to try them?"

Lu Ruoyu pursed her lips and smiled, and replied softly: "Of course I have to try."

Soon the three of them had picked two baskets of strawberries, and the servants brought dinner to the table. Song Jinshu asked someone to wash the strawberries.

At the dinner table, Song Jinshu held up his wine glass and looked across at the opposite side with great emotion.

"Brother, Ruoyu, I'm toasting you with this glass of wine, wishing you a successful start and a triumphant return!"

Huo Fang smiled heartily and raised his full glass. Lu Ruoyu did the same. The three of them clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

"Hey! The taste of this wine seems to be particularly strong, more refreshing than the one I have stored in the cellar for many years!" Huo Fang squinted his eyes and enjoyed the aftereffect of the wine.

Lu Ruoyu raised her eyes to look at her and said with certainty, "Did Jinshu brew this himself?"

Song Jinshu's mouth curled up, feeling extremely proud. She started brewing this last year and kept it for more than a year just to celebrate their return.

"Well! I specially left a few jars for you. If you like it, I will help you brew it in the future."

Hearing this, warmth flashed across their eyes. It turned out that when they missed their families, she was also thinking of them and even prepared celebratory wine in advance.

That night, the three of them didn't go home until they were drunk.

The next day, Song Jinshu had a splitting headache and felt completely confused.

Thinking of how drunk she was yesterday, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face. She didn't know what had taken her so much trouble to get drunk, but she actually hugged Lu Ruoyu tightly and kept calling her beauty.

"This is so embarrassing! How can I face people?"

Song Jinshu beat his chest and stamped his feet, not daring to face the reality. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

"Sir, yesterday's guest has woken up and said he wants to see you."

"Hey! I got it! I'll be right out!"

Without thinking too much, Song Jinshu quickly tidied himself up and went to the front hall, only to see Lu Ruoyu standing there alone.

Song Jinshu smoothed the corner of his clothes uncomfortably, and shyly stepped forward to greet her, "Good morning, Ruoyu. You're up so early!"

The sun had risen to its highest point at this time, but Lu Ruoyu didn't seem to notice her embarrassment and remained as calm and gentle as ever.

"Good morning, Jinshu. When I left the capital, the Emperor asked me to take with me 150,000 taels of grain for disaster relief and 100,000 taels of silver. I've already counted them. Do you think you would like to come with me to the government office to inspect them?"

Song Jinshu raised his hand and declined: "No need, I trust you."

She would rather believe that she would pocket the money than believe that Lu Ruoyu would keep it for herself.

Maybe it was because they hadn't seen each other for too long, and because he was drunk last night, Song Jinshu always felt guilty when facing Lu Ruoyu and didn't dare to look at him.

"Drink this."

Suddenly, Lu Ruoyu handed over a bowl of sobering soup, which was still warm. It must have been brought to her when she came over.

Song Jinshu felt warm in her heart. He was still the same as before, taking good care of her.

"Thank you!"

"You never said this to me before, but now you are alienated from me?" Lu Ruoyu's eyes were deep and she felt a little uncomfortable.

Song Jinshu was stunned. He took a sip of the hangover soup and shook his head, pretending to be stupid: "No! Hehe!"

To be honest, she felt that although Lu Ruoyu tried to maintain a gentle expression on her face, her whole demeanor had changed a little.

There was a more solemn and murderous air, and the temperament became more profound, which made her always nervous involuntarily.

Lu Ruoyu sighed lightly and did not argue with her, but asked her what her next plan was.

"Building a highway takes time. What do you want to do in the next three years?"

Song Jinshu paused slightly and fell into deep thought. She hadn't gotten over this problem yet, and she had just muddled through before.

She asked uncertainly, "Eating, drinking, and having fun? Occasionally supervising?"

I thought he would think I had no future and no lofty goals, but unexpectedly he just nodded slightly.

"That's good. You've done enough. You can leave the chores to the people below you."

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Ruoyu looked at Song Jinshu and asked, "There's something I want to ask for your opinion before making a decision."

Song Jinshu's heart skipped a beat, and he leaned his head to listen attentively. Lu Ruoyu smiled helplessly.

"The Emperor intended for me to tour the country to develop agriculture and oversee the duties of officials, but I didn't agree to it directly."

This news made Song Jinshu's nose sore. He was jealous and envious, and also reluctant to leave.

"Isn't this good news? Traveling around the country at public expense, and seeing the scenery of different places."

The farthest place she had been since arriving here was the border of Shunan Prefecture.

She has been working hard in order to retire early and travel around the country to experience the ancient customs of various places.

But now she is trapped in Shun'an Prefecture for a short period of time, unless she retires and returns home. But she has worked hard to climb to this position, and she is reluctant to leave!

Seeing the longing on her face, Lu Ruoyu's mouth twitched. She was so heartless. Didn't she know how to keep him?

As long as she asked him to stay, he would stay by her side and help her for the rest of his life.

Lu Ruoyu was in a bad mood and said lightly: "So you think I should agree to the emperor?"

Song Jinshu hesitated for a moment and sighed, "I also feel that there's something wrong with it. Living without a stable place can make you depressed after a while."

After all, business trips are not just for fun, you also have to get things done.

"Don't you have anything to say to me?" Lu Ruoyu asked with the last hope.

"Well..." Song Jinshu glanced at Lu Ruoyu and stammered, "It's just... I'm reluctant to see you leave again."

Lu Ruoyu's hanging heart finally fell, and the corners of her mouth rose: "I'll listen to you, I won't go."

"Ah? Listen to me?"

Song Jinshu felt strange. What did she say?

……

Since Huo Fang and Lu Ruoyu came back, Song Jinshu's life has become much more fulfilling.

She took them to travel around... Oh, no, she took them to the countryside from time to time to inspect the progress of the highway.

This month he had a meal with the magistrate of Guangrao County, and next month he went to Dafang County.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon.

The letter that Cheng Ziqian handed back said that he had passed the palace examination and ranked second, and was kept in Kyoto by the emperor and arranged to join the Hanlin Academy.

In addition, Song Yunqing is three months pregnant and is about to welcome a happy family of three.

Song Jinshu felt very relieved. He recognized the talent at first sight and picked the runner-up, and he also became her brother-in-law.

In the future, when Cheng Ziqian develops in Kyoto, she will have her own help in the court.

Liu Jingmo's business was booming in Kyoto, and he became one of the top 20 richest businessmen in Kyoto. Song Jinshu's shares in him also doubled.

She already had over one million taels of silver in her name, and had become a wealthy woman.
