"The girls in the boudoir are the most suitable to learn soft whips, which are convenient to carry with them without using brute force! If you learn better, you can manipulate things like ribbons with the same ease as I do. Mrs. Wang said succinctly.

Shen Moli witnessed the power of the ribbon with his own eyes, and his face was adoring and firm, "Master, I'll learn this!" ”

After that, in addition to his daily studies, Shen Moli went to Wang's house to practice the use of soft whips whenever he had time.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, families are busy preparing New Year's goods and packing up their houses to welcome the arrival of the New Year.

On the thirtieth day of the lunar month, Shen Botao was writing couplets in the study, and someone from the county government informed him to hurry to the county government to receive the order.

When Shen Botao first heard the order, he thought that he had heard it wrong, and after confirming it again and again, he didn't dare to delay and didn't even bother to wash the ink on his hands, so he trotted all the way towards the county government regardless of his image.

The rest of the Shen family didn't know what was going on when they heard about it, and they all sat in the main room waiting for Shen Botao to return.

"Amitabha! Bodhisattva bless! Zhou Wanqing sat on the kang and kept chattering.

Shen Jianhui, who was pacing around on the ground, looked uneasy and kept looking out of the window.

Shen Moli was in a good mood and teased the raindrops.

Chengzi was not sure, "Madam, why don't I go to the county government to inquire?" asked Zhou Wanqing.

Zhou Wanqing nodded hurriedly when she heard this: "Yes, yes, you go and inquire!" ”

Before Chengzi went out, Shen Botao entered the door with a happy face.

"Oh, you're back! What the hell is going on? Zhou Wanqing hurriedly pulled her husband to the ground and asked.

"There's no rush! It's a good thing! After the fifteenth morning of the first lunar month, I will be promoted to the prefect of Shaanxi Mansion!" Shen Botao laughed, this was the first time he laughed like this.

"What are you going to do?" Zhou Wanqing wondered.

Shen Botao smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyes: "The holy decree said that I should take over as the county commander of Baoji!" ”

Everyone was silent when they heard this, and the room was suddenly silent.

Shen Moli silently sighed in her heart that the circumstances of many people in this life have changed, "Congratulations Daddy!" Congratulations Daddy! Bring the silver! Saying that, he didn't forget to enliven the atmosphere, smiled happily and stretched out his hand to ask for a happy seal.

"Good! Good! Shen Botao agreed, "Speaking of Xiyin, I didn't bring any silver with me when I went out in a hurry just now, so I turned around and wrapped Xiyin and distributed it to the people in the yamen." He instructed his wife.

Zhou Wanqing's face was shocked, and she nodded mechanically.

After Shen Jianhui came back to his senses, he jumped up happily and threw the calm momentum that was easy to cultivate behind him.

Chengzi is glad for her decisive decision, and I don't know how many people will envy her in the future!

"Mother, you will be the county lady from now on! It's a veritable official lady! Shen Moli said with a smile.

Zhou Wanqing cried with joy, tears suddenly flowed, afraid that the children would laugh and rush to the back room.

This year is of great significance for the Shen and Zhao families, and since it is different from previous years, everyone is very happy to celebrate for a while.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, two carriages escorted by hundreds of elite soldiers came towards Baoji County, and when they walked to the city gate, Zhao Chenjing had already led all the officials to wait there to greet him.

When the carriage passed by Zhao Chenjing's side, he only lifted the curtain from the inside, revealing the appearance of an official who was accustomed to being pampered and commanding, and said slowly: "Well, this official came this time to reward Zhao County's orders and all the sons, and by the way, I will observe the people's feelings......"

"Dad, didn't you say you're about to arrive at your grandfather's house? Why stop, hurry up! The child wants to eat his grandfather's sugar fried cake. Before the man could say anything, a boy's impatient voice came from the car.

The brushed curtains were lowered, and the voice of the child was heard in the carriage, and the carriage did not stop to urge it to speed away. The elite soldiers who followed hurriedly quickened their pace, running all the way to catch up with the carriage.

"Phew!" Several officials next to him looked at the back of the carriage with disdain.

"There is such a king and eight calves waiting outside on a cold day!" Wang Zhutou sucked the red nose from the cold.

Zhao Chenjing sighed lightly without saying a word, turned around and walked towards the county office.

The officials walked back, muttering in a low voice from time to time.

"These 100 elite soldiers are tired enough to look at! Shoveling snow all the way to open the way. ”

"What's that, we've been doing it for a month!"

"Let's do it for the people of the county! What about them? As he spoke, he spat on the ground again.

"Speaking of which, Lord Zhao's official position is bigger than him!"

"That's also after fifteen years of appointment!"

"This is stronger than people!"

Hearing this, everyone was silent, sighed and walked a few steps to catch up with Zhao Chenjing.

In the evening, Shen Botao came back from the yamen.

Zhou Wanqing looked at the dark sky outside and complained: "It's not yet the day you took office, you just went to help, so active and careful, the morning scene is not happy!" ”

"Madame, don't worry! Morning View is not that kind of stingy person!" Shen Botao shook his head proudly and said.

Zhou Wanqing glanced at her husband.

"Today, the commander sent Master Zhang to our Baoji." Shen Botao thought about the day's events and gossiped.

Zhou Wanqing was not interested in these things, she was only busy serving rice, Chengzi was setting the table and serving the meal on the side, and Shen Jianhui was immersed in poetry and looking at the candle flame in a daze. Only Shen Moli looked at him with interest, waiting for the following.

Shen Botao didn't think that the number of listeners was small, and he said to his daughter with great interest: "Lord Zhang took his wife and children in a carriage, and a hundred elite soldiers opened the way, saying that he came to us to inspect, but in fact he was visiting Lord Yue!" With that, he picked up his teacup and took a sip of hot tea.

Shen Moli thought for a while, and seemed to have some impressions that this Commander Zhang was dismissed two years later for dereliction of duty, which caused a sensation in Shaanxi at that time, plus today's actions are not a good official, "Daddy, you can stay away from this adult!" ”

"Li'er, don't worry! For the sake of my father, I'm not officially making it up now, how can I see the commander! "Shen Botao deliberately stayed in the file room for a day today.

"Master, girl, let's sit down and eat!" Chengzi said respectfully.

Shen Botao was stunned, he was still not used to others calling him that, "Chengzi." How many times have you said it, don't call me master, it makes me uncomfortable to hear. ”

Shen Moli grimaced at Chengzi, and sat down to eat with a smile, this is the benefit of being a child, you can make trouble casually.

Chengzi, who was trying to maintain a steady image, picked the corners of his mouth upward, and sat down to eat as if nothing had happened.

On the third day of Commander Zhang's arrival in Baoji County, he sent out invitations to invite local famous people to celebrate the 60th birthday of his father-in-law
