"Ningzhou Mansion, make a general judgment." Du Xuanmo said.

When Shen Shiliu heard this, he asked, "Is it in Fengyang County?" ”

Du Xuanmo nodded, Anyang County is also a place below Ningzhou Mansion, but Fengyang County is the first, and the government and the prefect are all working in Fengyang County.

"That's not far, it's not far to you." Shen Shiliu was relieved, she thought that Du Xuanmo would be assigned to a place she had never heard of, but now that she looked at it, it looked like it was gilded.

Shen Shiliu didn't know much about official positions, so he asked, "What is the general judgment for?" How many products? ”

"The one who is in charge of money and food is the sixth grade, and I can be regarded as promoted." Du Xuanmo smiled lightly, he was covered by a prime minister, so naturally he would not be divided into bitter places, but ......

Shen Shiliu remembered something, so he asked: "I heard that the harvest in Fengyang County is in arrears this year, although you are promoted, are you not good at it?" ”

Du Xuanmo didn't expect Shen Shiliu to know so much, so he said: "You know better than me that there is indeed a lack of harvest over there, otherwise Xiangye would not have let me go." ”

Shen Shiliu understood in his heart that although the prime minister was covering Du Xuanmo, he was also testing Du Xuanmo, if a poor county couldn't understand it, it would be useless.

"You have to do this general judgment well, so that Xiangye can see that you are indeed a talent!" Shen Shiliu said, if he survives this hurdle, Du Xuanmo will be more valued in the future, and after so many years of hard study and hard life, it will be considered to be the end!

Du Xuanmo nodded, for a better tomorrow, he will definitely work hard!

Shen Shiliu saw that the direction was also decided, so he asked, "When are you leaving?" ”

"After three days, these days are all about packing things, and we can't delay it." Du Xuanmo said.

Shen Shiliu sighed: "Can't you even celebrate the New Year?" ”

Du Xuanmo smiled: "If you really wait for the Chinese New Year, it is estimated that the yamen over there will also be anxious, and finally someone will take over the trouble, they are more anxious than me!" ”

Shen Shiliu nodded: "I know, what about the aunt?" ”

"Come with me, this time my mother said why she refused to let me go by myself, I will also arrange a place to live, but I can also take care of it." Du Xuanmo smiled bitterly and said that his mother was actually scared by what happened last time.

Shen Shiliu also looked like a mirror in his heart, so he didn't say much.

Du Xuanmo came to live for a while and hurriedly left, Shen Shimei sat back in her place, embroidering her purse more quickly, she also had a handkerchief, and she wanted to embroider it all before Du Xuanmo left this time.

Du Xuanmo packed his luggage at home, and when he left Anyang County this time, he didn't know if he would have a chance to come back in the future.

"As soon as we leave, this house will be empty, so let's take those books with me." Du Xuanmo said that the most valuable books in this house are these books.

Du Niangzi nodded: "It's okay, let the grinding plate in the yard also take the pomegranate, and there is nothing left at home, even if you are robbed in the future, you will not be afraid." ”

In the afternoon, Shen Shu took Hong Yi to pull the grinding plate, and Shen Shu also heard from Shen Shimei that Du Xuanmo was going to Fengyang County, so he said, "How long will you stay in Fengyang County?" ”

"I don't know, but since I'm in charge of money and food, I guess it's at least a year." Du Xuanmo said.

"Then ...... your marriage with Pomegranate" Shen Shu was a little worried, it would be so long to go, and after a long time, would the two of them be far away?

Du Xuan smiled: "Now the pomegranate is still small, and when the pomegranate is a little bigger, I want to open up the marriage and take the pomegranate with me in the future." ”

Shen Shu nodded, now it can only be like this.

Du Xuanmo saw that Shen Shu was here, so he went back to the house and took a silver ticket out: "These ten taels of silver are my salary and the money I saved, you can hand it over to the pomegranate for me." ”

Shen Shu knew that Du Xuanmo owed Shen Pomegranate money, so he said, "Where can I use so much?" ”

"I'm leaving, I'm afraid that I can't be by my side if something happens to Pomegranate, with this money, some troubles can be solved, and now that's all I can do!" Du Xuanmo said, recalling, it seems that Shen Pomegranate has always helped him a lot, and now he has an official position, and he can't always guard Shen Pomegranate, but he also hopes that Shen Pomegranate will go well.

When Shen Shu heard this, he finally said: "Then I'll transfer it for you, but your salary shouldn't be so much, why ......?"

Du Xuanmo smiled lightly, "Don't worry, the bookstall is not unsightly!" ”

Shen Shu smiled, but he thought of Du Xuanmo narrowly.

Leaving from Du's house, Shen Shu returned to the restaurant and gave Shen Shimei the silver ticket in front of his father, and Zheng was very satisfied: "It's a heart." "In fact, after the two families got engaged, everyone didn't care about the money that the Du family owed to the Shen family, but Du Xuanmo still remembered, which showed that this person was reliable.

Shen Shiliu smiled bitterly: "Even if his bookstall is reopened, how long has it been, and these ten taels have been brought over, he must not have any silver taels on him, isn't he going to drink the northwest wind?" ”

Father Shen thought about it for a while, and said: "Let's send the money back, these ten taels are not a small amount, he just went to Fengyang County and is not familiar with the place, in case he needs to take care of it, what if he can't get the money?" ”

Shen Shiliu shook his head: "Don't send it, he will feel uncomfortable when he sends it back, so take it." After speaking, he continued to embroider the female red in his hand.

On the day Du Xuanmo set off, Shen Pomegranate and Shen Shu both went to deliver it, Shen Pomegranate brought a large bag of food, although it was more than two hours from Anyang County to Fengyang County, but it was good to keep it on the road.

Du Niangzi and Shen Shu watched Du Xuanmo and Shen Shiliu say goodbye, so they both stepped aside to chat, and let the two of them talk well.

Du Xuanmo looked reluctant: "I don't know when I will see you again, you have to take care of yourself, don't be too tired." ”

"I know, you too, I gave me ten taels of silver, I'm afraid you won't have enough to eat when you get there!" Shen Shiliu said.

Du Xuanmo smiled: "It won't be so miserable, there is still some money, and when the salary is paid, life will be better." ”

Shen Shiliu took out his embroidered purse and handkerchief and handed them to Du Xuanmo: "There are calming herbs in the purse." ”

Du Xuanmo came to the result, looked at the neatly embroidered patterns on the top, and said: "The embroidery is really good, and I take it just right." ”

Shen Shiliu smiled, and then saw that Du Xuanmo also handed over something, and in the handkerchief was a hosta.

"I've been here for a long time, and I can't wait for your gift, so I can only send you in advance." Du Xuanmo said, wait for the next time we meet, Shen Shimei will be the big girl!

Shen Shiliu rewrapped the hairpin and said, "Okay." ”

Du Xuanmo and Du Niangzi got into the carriage and popped their heads out of the window, and Du Xuanmo could only watch Shen Pomegranate get farther and farther away from him.

Shen Shiliu waved her hand, everyone has their own way, she just wants to support Du Xuanmo to the greatest extent, and finally guard him for a hundred years.

The business of the restaurant is still done every day, and Shen Pomegranate is in a daze most of the time in his spare time, thinking about whether Du Xuanmo has eaten now, is he tired, is he tired, and now that the weather is so cold, is Du Xuanmo's clothes enough to wear?

"Pomegranate, take account." Shen Shu called at the counter, but Shen Pomegranate was still there in a daze.

"Pomegranate!" Shen Shu shouted again, and Shen Shimei replied: "Huh? ”

Shen Shu was helpless, so he said, "Don't be in a daze, come and take inventory!" ”

"Oh!" Shen Shiliu walked to the counter listlessly, although he was reading the account book, he still didn't have any energy.

As soon as Shen Shu saw this, he asked Shen Shiliu to stop first: "Okay, okay, I'll take it slowly, you better sit there and continue to be in a daze!" How many days has this man been gone? You're so useless! ”

Shen Shiliu pouted: "You are a full man, you don't know that a hungry man is hungry, and if Sister Tianxiuhua doesn't come to the store, I think you are like this!" ”

Shen Shu was angry, there was really no way to take Shen Pomegranate.

When it was December, Shen Shiliu received a letter from Du Xuanmotuo's post station, and the whole person excitedly took the letter and turned around in a circle.

Shen Shiliu went to the back kitchen to find a place where no one was there before opening the letter, and Du Xuanmo's familiar handwriting appeared in front of him, and before he could read the content of the letter, Shen Shimei's eyes began to bubble pink.

Du Xuanmo's letter didn't have any love poems, that is, he talked about his life in the Yamen of Fengyang County, but he said it in detail, and finally said something that Shen Shimei should not worry about.

"What a nerd, I don't know what to say about me!" Shen Shiliu couldn't cry or laugh, but he always had a letter, which was a good thing.

In the evening, Shen Shiliu took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, her words were still ugly, but in order to let Du Xuanmo not laugh at her so much, a reply letter was written very seriously, and it was still eye-catching when stroked one by one.

"Pomegranate, haven't you slept yet?" Zheng got up in the middle of the night to see that the lights in Shen Pomegranate's house were still on, so he asked.

Shen Shiliu realized that it was past time, so he replied: "It's time to sleep." "A letter is not finished, and the efficiency is too low.

The next day, Shen Shiliu took Hong Yi to the vegetable market to purchase, and as he walked, he saw a convoy of people, and the carriage was full of sacks.

"What is this for? Why didn't you see it before? Shen Pomegranate chatted with the lady who sold vegetables.

The eldest lady was well-informed, so she said: "It's to transport grain, Fengyang County has a bad harvest this year, so buy grain from us!" ”

As soon as Shen Shiliu heard the three words of Fengyang County, he asked, "How many days will it be transported?" ”

"I heard that it's a day, but it's only shipped once every half a month, and it is estimated that it will have to be shipped like this until next summer." The grocery shopping lady said.

Shen Shiliu sighed, it seems that the situation in Fengyang County is not too bad, after all, it is the first county of Ningzhou Prefecture, even if it is owed, it is rich!

Shen Shiliu went home, and after arranging all the things, he went back to the room to write the unfinished letter, and then sent it to the post station.

The weather in December is already very cold, and the number of guests who eat has decreased, but her mutton soup is still sold as always.

"Pomegranate girl, I have a relative who runs a restaurant in Hongyang County, and wants to buy our secret recipe for making soup, let me come and ask!" One day, a regular customer came over and asked.
