As the days passed, Song Jinshu took some time out from his busy schedule to stroll around the county town by himself.
Occasionally, county residents would pass by and say hello to her.
Because a lot of things have happened in Jingyang County in the past two or three months, from Mr. Li San to Wujian Village, each one has become a topic of conversation after dinner.
As the judge of these matters, she was naturally mentioned a lot, but fortunately, most of the comments were good for her.
Song Jinshu did good deeds every day as usual. When she heard the system ring that her points had increased by a few tenths, she walked away contentedly.
The beggars on the roadside now look at her as if they are seeing a living Buddha, and their gratitude to her is like an endless torrent of water.
The hot summer is approaching, the rainy season is about to come, and the canal digging work is almost coming to an end.
only…
"According to the date, the people who went out to buy food should be back soon!"
Song Jinshu looked up at the sky with a worried look on her face. If they didn't come back, her granary would be empty again!
Moreover, if it starts to rain, it will not stop for a while, and these people will probably be trapped even on their way back.
Song Jinshu was considering whether to ask Lu Ruoyu to write a letter to urge him to do so.
She feels insecure because she doesn't have food with her!
Before she could go and urge him, she saw Lu Ruoyu coming over with a happy face.
"What's wrong? Did you pick up some gold on the road?"
Seeing County Magistrate Lu’s smile so worthless, Song Jinshu curled her lips. Why didn’t she have such luck?
Lu Ruoyu was a little amused and helpless. He had long been accustomed to Song Jinshu's childish temper.
So he didn't take her joke to heart, but told her the purpose of his visit.
"Sir, there are some good news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"Oh! What good news? Tell me all about it!"
Song Jinshu poured himself a cup of tea and sipped it leisurely, seemingly not very interested in his news.
"The first thing is that Mr. Ma has already prepared the billiard table and mahjong, and I have already had them installed in the hot spring villa."
"Really? This is really good news!"
Song Jinshu stood up in surprise. It had been a long time since she played mahjong, and her son's hands were itching to play!
"Any more?"
Lu Ruoyu's mouth curled up. He knew that Song Jinshu would be happy, so he stopped the yamen runner from reporting and came over by himself.
"Also, the grain you asked me to buy will arrive in Jingyang County tomorrow. Besides that, the leader said he happened to run into some Hu people and bought some fresh seeds."
"Also, our canal will be completed in five days. Wu Li is already arranging people to handle the follow-up matters..."
After hearing this, Song Jinshu's eyes lit up again and again. It was rare to hear so much good news in one day!
"Great! I was just worried about food! And the canal issue, you should make arrangements for it, and the wages of those slaves must not be delayed..."
"Yes! Okay!" Lu Ruoyu listened carefully and took notes, fearing that she would miss anything.
"By the way, County Magistrate Lu, do you think the Ma family is reliable?"
Lu Ruoyu didn't understand why Song Jinshu asked this, but after spending some time with Mr. Ma, he thought he was a very reliable person.
So he nodded seriously: "Although Mr. Ma has a strange temper sometimes, he is honest and upright, and a reliable person."
"That's great! You can build the waterwheel I gave you earlier! Acquaintances are always more reliable than strangers. But remember, you need to sign a confidentiality agreement with him."
After all, the waterwheel is of great use. It is a thing that benefits the country and the people. Once it is built, she will naturally present it to the emperor to show her talent.
At least I can say a word to her when her life is at stake!
Maybe... she can take this opportunity to get some rewards or something.
Hehe...the best one would be that golden and coppery thing.
Lu Ruoyu nodded and agreed, and they both thought of the same thing.
Suddenly, Song Jinshu rubbed his hands together, tilted his lips, and said with a wicked smile: "Hey, County Magistrate Lu! Can you lend me some silver?"
Lu Ruoyu:?
The two were discussing official business, so why did they end up talking about borrowing money?
However, he then understood what Song Jinshu wanted to do!
Looking at the square brick in front of him, with numbers engraved on it, and Song Jinshu smiling so hard that his teeth were showing.
Lu Ruoyu's forehead suddenly started to hurt...
Shen Fenghua on the opposite side was even more exaggerated. He held the mahjong and guarded against Song Jinshu like a thief.
"Oh! Master Shen, why are you so rude? I only looked at you once!"
Shen Fenghua glanced at her sideways and snorted proudly: "As for! You've won several times by sneaking a peek at my cards!"
He lost all his monthly salary!
"Tsk~" Song Jinshu sneered disdainfully, then smiled at Lu Ruoyu and encouraged her, "Don't be discouraged, County Magistrate Lu! You're talented. You'll get it after a few more tries!"
"Mahjong is a national treasure! People all over the country love to play it!"
The two had just finished chatting about business, and Song Jinshu suddenly became interested in playing mahjong.
So, he took Lu Ruoyu and found Shen Fenghua, and the three of them came to the hot spring villa.
Then he picked a yamen runner and formed a temporary mahjong table.
Song Jinshu relied on the fact that she was the only one present who was familiar with the rules, and relied on her own luck to win more than a dozen games in a row.
This made her so happy that her teeth almost felt sore from laughing.
Shen Fenghua looked at Lu Ruoyu's pale face and smiled. Among them, Lu Ruoyu lost the most miserably.
Look... the pile of silver in front of Song Jinshu, most of it was donated by Lu Ruoyu.
"Come again, come again!"
Shen Fenghua became competitive and was determined to win the next game today!
The unknown yamen runners pitifully held on to their purses.
It's over. Although he lost less, he still lost. He will definitely be punished by his wife when he gets home!
He absolutely cannot go home today. He has to find a place to hide for a few days and wait until his wife calms down!
When I asked him why he continued to play mahjong, he told me that he was addicted!
Not only did the four of them have a great time, but even the people watching around them all wanted to try their hand.
They didn't stop until the sun set and the cards became unclear.
Shen Fenghua was still not satisfied and asked, "Shall we come again tomorrow?"
"No! We have official business at the county government tomorrow, and neither you nor I have time!" Lu Ruoyu refused with a wooden face.
He has important matters to take care of tomorrow, not because he almost lost all his pants!
Song Jinshu opened his mouth and suddenly changed his words: "That's right! Shen Zhubu, you should focus on your official duties and never indulge in fun!"
I don't believe you! Who was the one who wanted to agree just now? He saw it all clearly!
Shen Fenghua snorted. One or two people were like this. He was not the kind of person who would neglect his official duties and indulge in fun!
Now he's being treated like a sinner!
Song Jinshu put the heavy wallet she won today into her pocket and hid it against her chest. Even at night, one could see the big bulge in front of her chest.
I could hear Shen Fenghua's snickering and Lu Ruoyu's dark face!
