After the rebirth, the cannon fodder left the plot

Chapter 148 Promotion
But Song Qingming is also very clear that his sister is no longer in his control, but if his sister listens to him, she will not become a woman raised by the emperor's grandson today. A concubine's room doesn't count.

He knew that after this incident, Shen Jingcheng might go further and further away from him, but this is something that can't be helped, who would be willing to associate with someone who will avenge their kindness again?

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

Of course, this is something to say later, and he didn't reveal anything to Song Qingyue about it, for fear of causing unnecessary troubles.

In fact, Shen Jingcheng also felt that Song Qingming was a bit of a pity. After getting along with him for many years, he felt that Song Qingming was a pretty good person, but it was a pity that he had a younger sister who was not so clear-headed.

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

It was almost the end of the new year, and the peddlers on the street were extremely noisy, Shen Jingcheng already knew what he wanted to buy, after buying everything on the street, he went home, and returned to the courtyard with big and small bags.

It is said that the capital city is located in the south, so winter should be warmer than Qingzhou Mansion and Guide Mansion, but in fact, because of the high humidity, Gu Jin actually felt that the coldness kept creeping into the bones, and even the capital city was even colder. a feeling of.

In Qingzhou Mansion and Guide Mansion, her house has heating kangs. Even if there is no stove in the house, she burns the heating kang every day and dries the quilt every few days. It is very warm when she sleeps.But now, every day when she gets into the bed, she is shivering from the cold. She feels damp and chilly when the bedding is not dried for a day. It is very difficult to sleep and get up.

However, Xiao Youping didn't seem to feel anything, and kept tossing and tossing every day when she was sleeping, making it difficult for her to warm the bed.When he woke up, he was huddled in the bed again, making her want to lie down under the bed.

Gu Jin felt that this life was simply not human, and all day long she hoped that Shen Jingcheng would finish his work report and go back.

Fortunately, it's only a few days before the Chinese New Year, otherwise, she would have wanted to leave quickly.

After eating dumplings and setting off firecrackers on New Year's Eve, it will soon be the sixth day.

Early in the morning, Shen Jingcheng followed a large group of local officials who were much higher than his official position to meet the old emperor. Gu Jin also began to pack and salute, and they set off to leave when Shen Jingcheng came back.

Really, in winter here, she doesn't want to stay here for a day.

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

Shen Jingcheng found an inconspicuous corner to stand in, just like when he was grain chief, quietly listening to the old emperor asking officials one by one, listening to those officials narrating their actions over the years and local political affairs. .

In less than an hour, the old emperor seemed a little tired from asking, and he leaned back on the dragon chair with his eyes closed to rest. The officials who were answering the old emperor's question were taken aback, and they didn't know whether the old emperor listened or not. But the old emperor didn't make a sound, and he didn't dare to stop, so he continued to narrate quietly, and then shut up until he had nothing to say, and the old emperor would also say at this time: "Go on."

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

"My lord, the magistrate of Yuhe County has a meeting with the emperor." Shen Jingcheng walked out of the ranks of officials like the others, and kowtowed down.

"Get up..." Following the old emperor's accompanying eunuch's chorus, Shen Jingcheng also stood up, listening to the old emperor's question, and began to narrate the events of Yuhe County in the past few years without any haste.

His voice was flat and straightforward, with almost no emotion, but the old emperor on the dragon chair listened, but slowly opened his eyes.

The voice seemed very familiar.

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

Every time his son answered his questions, he was like this, neither in a hurry nor in a hurry, neither arrogant nor rash, as if he would not be in a hurry even if the sky fell.

He misses his son a little bit, and his old woman, those two women really know how to enjoy themselves, they went to the underground early, don't worry about the government at all, only leave him as a lonely old man, a lot of age and still go up every day To steward.

Shen Jingcheng...

The old emperor murmured the name softly in his heart, and memories from a few years ago jumped into his mind.

It was the child his son had admired. I really didn't expect it. It was just his son's appreciation. This child actually carried the son's shadow in his speech and behavior.

The old emperor sat up slowly, and after Shen Jingcheng finished talking about the general situation of Yuhe County, he chatted with him in a leisurely manner.

This is an honor that no one present today has.

In fact, the things the old emperor asked were very ordinary things, but today he inexplicably wanted to talk to this young man, and felt that talking to him was like talking to his son. It seems to be much better.

It's a pity, this kid surnamed Shen just speaks and behaves very much like his son, but he doesn't even look like his Qin family.Otherwise, he would have suspected that this was his son who was left outside.

"You are very good. You have governed Yuhe County so well in just three years. You should be promoted." When there was nothing left to ask, the old emperor looked at him with a sigh.

Who would have thought that such a place that suffers from floods every year would be managed peacefully by this boy.

"Don't dare, this is a matter of the minister's duty." Shen Jingcheng bowed and saluted.

The old emperor looked at Shen Jingcheng, who was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and became more and more satisfied, and said directly: "Then... let's be promoted to prefect. Your prefect hasn't seen many achievements in these years, so it can be seen that he is only suitable for success."

Shen Jingcheng was taken aback for a moment, then knelt down and kowtowed in thanks.

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

And the prefect of Guide Prefecture, who was also in the palace, turned dark when he heard the words.

Even though there are outstanding talents and legendary deeds in every dynasty, Shen Jingcheng's work is not so amazing, isn't this a bit of a joke?

But the old emperor's order was an imperial decree, so he didn't dare to say anything, he just lowered his head and bit his cheek sorely, but he didn't dare to make any sound.

I knew earlier, I knew earlier...

In fact, if he knew that he had no choice, Shen Jingcheng was sent to Yuhe County by the old emperor, he just wanted to move, so he was not so bold.

Shen Jingcheng was also unambiguous, he went directly to the official department after he came out of the palace, and received all the things he needed for his appointment. The official department did not expect him to come so soon, but because this was the old emperor's personal appointment, they could only write documents for him in a hurry. Cover the official seal and look for official uniforms.

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