But Song Qingming also knew very well that his sister was not something he could manage for a long time, but as long as his sister listened to his words, she would not become a woman raised by the emperor's grandson today, not even a name, not even a concubine.

He knew that after this incident, Shen Jingcheng might go farther and farther away from him, but this was also a helpless thing, who would be willing to deal with the person who would take revenge again?

It was also because of this that when it was time for the next purchase, when the Shen family did not come to his store again, he accepted it calmly.

Of course, this is a later story, and he didn't reveal half a word to Song Qingyue about this matter, for fear that it would cause unnecessary trouble.

In fact, Shen Jingcheng also felt that Song Qingming was a pity, he had been together for many years, he felt that Song Qingming was still very good, but it was a pity that he had a sister who was not very sober-minded.

Shen Jingcheng left the Song family's shop and went to the street to buy things for the New Year.

Now that it has been close in recent years, the people on the street are very noisy, what to buy Shen Jingcheng already knew in his heart, and after buying everything on the street, he went home, and returned to the yard with large bags and small bags.

It is said that the capital is south and should be warmer than Qingzhou Mansion and Guide Mansion in winter, but in fact, because of the high humidity, Gu Jin actually felt that the cold kept drilling into the cracks of his bones, and even had a feeling that the capital was colder.

In Qingzhou Mansion and Guide Mansion, her house has a warm kang, even if there is no stove at home, burn a warm kang every day, dry the quilt every few days, and it is very warm when sleeping. But now, every day as soon as she enters the bed, she is so cold that she shiveres first, and the bedding feels damp and cold without drying for a day, and it is very difficult to sleep and get up.

It's just that Xiao Youping is like she can't feel anything, and she keeps tossing when she sleeps every day, making it difficult for her to warm the bed. When he woke up, he arched in the quilt again, making her want to rely on the quilt.

Gu Jin felt that this day was simply not a human life, and he looked forward to Shen Jingcheng quickly reporting and returning all day long.

Fortunately, there are only a few days left before the Chinese New Year, otherwise, she would have wanted to leave quickly.

After eating dumplings and setting off firecrackers in the Chinese New Year's Eve, it will soon be the sixth day of the new year.

Early in the morning, Shen Jingcheng followed a large number of local officials who were much higher than his official position to meet the old emperor, and Gu Jin also began to pack and salute, just waiting for Shen Jingcheng to face the saint to come back, and they set off to leave.

Really, it's winter here, and she doesn't want to stay for a day.

The old emperor in the palace was even older, his beard and hair were all white, and his body looked a lot fatter than in previous years, and he was not so energetic, but he still couldn't hide the sharpness in his old eyes.

Shen Jingcheng found an inconspicuous corner to stand, just like when he was a grain chief in the past, quietly listening to the old emperor asking officials one by one, and listening to those officials recount what they had done over the years and local political affairs.

In less than an hour, the old emperor seemed to be a little tired when he asked, his body was so crooked on the dragon chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, the official who was answering the old emperor's question was stunned, and he didn't know whether the old emperor listened or not, but the old emperor didn't squeak, and he didn't dare to stop, so he quietly recounted, until he couldn't say anything before he shut up, and the old emperor would also say at this time: "Go down." ”

Another half a day passed, and finally it was Shen Jingcheng's turn to step forward.

"Minister, the magistrate of Yuhe County see the emperor." Shen Jingcheng walked out of the ranks of officials like everyone else and bowed down.

"......." With the old emperor's eunuch singing and harmonizing, Shen Jingcheng also got up, listened to the old emperor's question, and began to narrate the affairs of Yuhe County in the past few years without hurry.

His voice was flat and straightforward, almost without emotion, but the old emperor on the dragon chair listened to it, but slowly opened his eyes.

The voice seemed familiar.

The old emperor squinted his eyes and looked down, and saw a slender young man, speaking quietly, his steady demeanor and magnetic voice were very similar to his son who died early.

Every time his son answered his question, he was like this, not in a hurry, not arrogant or impatient, as if he would not be in a hurry when the sky fell.

He misses his son a little, and his old woman, the two of them will really enjoy the blessings, they went underground early, and they didn't worry about the government at all, only leaving him a lonely old man, and they had to go to the court every day to manage affairs at a great age.

Shen Jingcheng ......

The old emperor whispered the name softly in his heart, and the memories of years earlier jumped into his mind.

It's the child that his son once appreciated, I really didn't expect it, it's just an appreciation from his son, this child actually has the shadow of his son in his speech and demeanor.

The old emperor sat up slowly, and when Shen Jingcheng finished talking about the general situation of Yuhe County, he talked with him unhurriedly.

This is an honor that no one here here has ever had.

In fact, the things that the old emperor asked were all very ordinary things, but today he inexplicably wanted to talk to this young man, and he felt that talking to him was as if he was talking to his son, and his heart was extremely calm, and even his spirit seemed to be much better.

It's a pity that this kid surnamed Shen just talks and behaves like his son, but he doesn't have half of his Qin family. Otherwise, he would have suspected that this was his son's child who had been left behind.

"You are very good, you have governed Yuhe County so well in just three years, it's time to be promoted." Until there was nothing to ask, the old emperor looked at him with some sighs.

Who would have thought that such a place that suffers from flooding every year would be governed by this kid in peace.

"Don't dare, it's within the minister's responsibility." Shen Jingcheng bent down to salute.

The old emperor looked at Shen Jingcheng, who was not arrogant or impatient, and became more and more satisfied, and said directly: "That...... Let's be promoted to the prefect, your prefect has not made achievements over the years, so it can be seen that he is only suitable for keeping. ”

Shen Jingcheng was stunned for a moment, and then knelt down and thanked him.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

And the prefect of Guide Mansion, who was also in the hall, heard this, and his face turned black.

promoted three levels in a row, although there are outstanding talents in every dynasty and generations, and there are such legendary deeds, but Shen Jingcheng's things are not so amazing, is this some child's play.

But the old emperor's order was a holy decree, and he didn't dare to say anything, he only lowered his head and bit his cheeks painfully, but he didn't dare to make any sound.

Knowing early, knowing early......

In fact, he knew that he didn't have any way, Shen Jingcheng was sent to Yuhe County by the old emperor, he just wanted to move, and he wasn't so bold.

Shen Jingcheng was not ambiguous, he came out of the palace and went directly to the ministry to get everything he needed to go to the office, the ministry didn't expect him to come so soon, but because this was the old emperor's personal seal, he could only hurriedly write documents for him, stamp the official seal, and find official clothes.

Shen Jingcheng took the things from the ministry and returned to the courtyard of the capital, and took Gu Jinniang and the others on the way back, without stopping in the capital for a moment. The speed was fast, and even the imperial grandson who wanted Shen Jingcheng to go to the imperial grandson's mansion again when he heard the news didn't catch his shadow.
