Chapter 196 Falsely claiming credit
Du Shi didn't take Leng Lanzhi's words to heart, and even found it ridiculous.

This country bumpkin still wants to destroy her?

Don't you think she can do whatever she wants because she is Li Junshou's cousin?

Sheriff or something, it's still far behind Shang Shu!

It's best that Li Changlin doesn't have any special thoughts. If the other party really dares to come to Shang Shu to gossip, she will let them know the power of the wind on the pillow!

Leng Lanzhi didn't say anything more.

She is not going to lose her status by arguing with a concubine.

When she returns to Beijing, give Wu Shangshu a little bit of news, and let him know how his concubine disrespected her in Tianhai City.

Without her taking action, Wu Shangshu would take care of this concubine by himself.

And it can directly cut off Du's capital for rebellion.

You have to hit seven inches when you hit a snake, otherwise it's really boring to make small fights.

Just like people from the Shui family.

The movement made by Master Shui was not small, but it was only in a small area and did not affect the male guest.

What's more, the protagonist today is Wu Shangshu, not the Li family. Wu Shangshu's interest is still there, so the banquet can naturally continue.

Tonight's banquet has a very important part - recognition.

The recognition will be held at a dinner.

Before the banquet started, Leng Lan thought Lanyuan was too noisy, so he went to the small garden of the Sheriff's Mansion, planning to go back when the banquet officially started.

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of her eye: "Dr. Qian's family?"

Dong Qian's family also saw him, and couldn't help being taken aback: "Miss Shui, why are you here?"

Leng Lanzhi said briefly: "I have been living in the county magistrate's mansion since I left the inn. Are you here to attend the commendation ceremony?"

Boss Qian shook his head: "No, I'm here to see Governor Li. Some of the data on my batch of goods don't match up, but I haven't seen Brother Du in the past few days, so I can only come to see Governor Li Bingming for the situation."

In fact, he and Boss Du took the wrong account book. The one in his hand belonged to Boss Du, and Boss Du took his.

When he checked the data, he found that Boss Du's account book had incorrectly recorded a grain payment, and the original three thousand shi of polished rice had been recorded as [-] shi.

He wanted to confirm with Boss Du and let the other party correct it in time. Otherwise, once the county guard finds out about this omission and suspects that they are greedy for credit and exaggerate their credit, it will be bad!

But for some reason, every time he went to see Boss Du, he would catch up with Boss Du when he went out.

Gu Zhan chuckled lightly: "Boss Du is here to attend the celebration banquet today. Why don't Boss Qian go over and see the excitement?"

Boss Qian was really curious about this celebration banquet, but he was a little unsure: "Can I go in?"

Gu Zhan's smile became brighter and brighter: "With my young lady here, Boss Qian's family will naturally be able to enter."

Finally, the banquet began.

Although the dinner banquet also has male and female seats, it is no longer separated by a yard, but in the same hall, and the male and female seats are separated by a screen.

In this way, when Wu Shangshu gave commendations, the female seats could also see the talents who had been commended.

Jia was very excited: "Cousin, many of the heroes this time are local young talents. Can you help me see if there are any suitable ones?"

"A local young talent?" Leng Lanzhi was a little surprised.

She also thought that Jia's family would target officials and eunuchs. After all, most of the marriages of the children of wealthy families are used as a tool for family marriage.

But the meaning of Jia's words didn't seem to be that she cared about the other party's identity.

Jia said: "Our family is already the biggest official in Tianhai City. Apart from the Liang family, who else in the city can surpass our family? Besides, I don't want to use marriage to consolidate my position."

If she was this kind of person who was eager for quick success, their family wouldn't have been stuck in the position of county magistrate for eight years.

You know, when Li Changlin was the county magistrate, his political performance was very good. If he had been a more diplomatic person, he would have been promoted long ago.

But Lin Changlin has been suppressed.

Firstly, it's because he seems smooth, but in fact he is very principled, and he won't give in on matters that concern the interests of the people.

During his tenure, he has always used a weak force to protect the local people.

His existence is a protective umbrella and a patron saint for the people.For superiors, it is a thorn in the head.

Secondly, it was because neither the couple had ever thought of exchanging their children for benefits. Otherwise, if Li Tian'er had given her to the then county magistrate when she was just a hair girl, wouldn't the future be difficult?
Jia sighed: "I don't have any big ambitions in this life. I just hope that the master will be safe and sound, and the children will be safe, joyful, prosperous and prosperous. Identity is secondary."

Leng Lanzhi nodded.

While the two were talking, Wu Shangshu had already come to the forefront and began to commend.

After a lengthy prologue, Wu Shangshu finally got to the point: "In this disaster relief, there are a few heroes who performed outstandingly and deserve to be rewarded! The first one is Wen Ruxu!"

Hearing this name, Leng Lan was taken aback, and the ladies and ladies also showed surprised expressions: "Why is it him?"

This Wen Ruxu was exactly the student Leng Lanzhi knew people by handwriting. Unexpectedly, by such a coincidence, the owner of a painting she opened casually turned out to be the first reward recipient tonight.

Wu Shangshu was still talking about Wen Ruxu's achievements.

It turned out that the mountain village where Wen Ruxu lived was also blocked by heavy snow, but he did not foolishly wait for the court's rescue, but actively organized the people in the village to help themselves.

Although we experienced rockslides and other accidents during this period, we were finally safe.

When other villages were trapped in the mountains for more than ten days, Wen Ruxu's village not only opened the passage by itself, but also helped other villages.

When the personnel from the county town arrived, Wen Ruxu took the initiative to lead the way and estimated the best excavation position, which reduced a lot of trouble for the rescuers and saved a lot of time.

In view of his outstanding contribution, Wu Shangshu discussed with the county and decided that the county would first reward him with 100 taels of silver.

As for the rewards from the imperial court, they can only come down after Wu Shangshu returns to report.

After Wen Ruxu, Wu Shangshu named several people who had made outstanding contributions, and the rewards varied.

Finally, Wu Shangshu said with a smile: "This next one, I think is very worthy of mentioning."

"He was originally just a businessman, and he wasn't even in Tianhai City when the natural disaster happened, but in order to support his hometown, he bravely transported tens of thousands of shi of grain and tens of thousands of winter clothes to Tianhai City from thousands of miles away, and sent All food and winter clothes were donated to the government.”

"So loyal and courageous, he was a role model at the time and deserves to be rewarded!"

Everyone's curiosity was aroused.

Wu Shangshu pointed in one direction and said loudly: "He is the owner of Du's caravan, Du Degui!"

As Wu Shangshu finished speaking, Boss Du stood up and said humbly: "Wu Shangshu deserves the award. This is what a villain should do!"

Among the female guests, someone thought of something: "Hey, what a coincidence, this boss Du is also named Du."

Du Shi smiled very gently and modestly: "He is my cousin."

The female guests immediately complimented her: "It turns out he is Sister Du's brother, no wonder he is so loyal and courageous!"

Du Shi seemed to be humble and said: "I can't compare to Miss Shui. Her cousin is Mr. Li, and he has made great contributions to this disaster relief."

Mrs. Liang snorted: "Sister Du, don't forget that Miss Shui has a crazy relative like Master Shui!"

"Master Shui's family is indeed insane, but Boss Du is not too far behind." Leng Lanzhi gently twirled the teacup.
