Chapter 106 New Year’s Eve Banquet
"As the county magistrate's daughter, Miss Shen really has no airs at all." One of the victims said looking at Shen Jintang's back.
They have already learned Shen Jintang's identity from the official.
"Who says it's not the case?" Another old woman who had been treated by Shen Jintang continued: "Not only does she have no airs, she is also beautiful and kind. There are not many such good girls in the world today."< /p>
Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this.
In the blink of an eye, November has arrived, and the affairs of the victims have come to an end.
With the decree from the imperial court, these victims can choose to return to their original hometowns.
You can also choose another place to settle down. You only need to take your identity and household registration certificate to the county government office to handle the settlement matters.
More than 90% of the victims in Yichang County chose to stay and settle down.
One after another, they went to the county government office to settle down with their household registration certificates proving their identity.
As a result, Shen Mu was even more busy all the time.
As soon as the victims' affairs were settled, the prices of noodle shops and rice shops also began to drop, gradually returning to their original prices.
After all the arrangements for the resettlement of the victims have been completed, it is already approaching the end of the new year.
Regarding the things that Yu'an County in Xuanzhou concealed and failed to report, the emperor has issued an order to remove the magistrate of Yu'an County from his official position and also put his people in jail.
A lot of officials, big and small, were dismissed throughout Xuanzhou.
Since the disaster victims happened, Yichang County has handled it best.
After the emperor heard about it, he specially praised Shen Mu in the court hall.
He has only been in office for less than a year. Even if his political achievements are outstanding, it is not easy to promote him immediately.
But the emperor already had a good impression of him and was just waiting for the next opportunity to come. As long as he could seize it, promotion would be just around the corner.
This is the first year that Shen Jintang’s family has spent in Yichang County.
After using ducks to eliminate the locusts, the problem of the victims was solved. Shen Mu, the county magistrate, has gained a firm foothold in Yichang County.
The new year has come, and as the magistrate of Yichang County, socializing and entertaining are naturally indispensable.
Some of the squires and nobles in Yichang County have a keen eye. After nearly a year of observation, they have discovered that Shen Mu is not a thing in the pond.
This Yichang County is just a small step on his road to officialdom.
They all want to show their face in front of him through the New Year's Eve party. It would be even better if they could make friends with him.
Even if we can’t make good friends, we still want to avoid offending him.
At the same time, they also urged their children to make good friends with Shen Mu’s three children.
Be sure not to offend them.
The New Year's Eve banquet was held at Hongyun Building, and the entire Hongyun Building was booked.
Shen Jintang sat in the private room on the second floor near the window sill, holding a cup of tea and sipping it slowly.
The tea leaves in this tea were brought by her.
She had planted the tea saplings that Guanshi Tong bought for her in the space, and they are now ready for picking.
Seeing her sitting here drinking tea, Zhang Yanyan also pulled Tian Xiuyao and ran over.
The two of them sat next to her, one on the left and the other on the right.
"What kind of tea is this? It smells so good." After Zhang Yanyan sat down, she picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup of tea.
Shen Jintang's gaze that was originally looking out the window shifted to her, smiled and asked, "Do you like a drink? I'll give you some later."
Zhang Yanyan nodded vigorously when she heard this: "Of course I like it. This tea is fragrant and moist, with a lingering aftertaste, and the tea fragrance has a long aftertaste. It is simply a top-quality tea."
Shen Jintang didn't expect that she actually knew tea, and was slightly surprised.
Tian Xiuyao chuckled softly from the side: "Jintang, don't listen to her harp. She has been studying for a few days, and now she learned it from her husband."
Shen Jintang suddenly realized.
Seeing that she was being brought down, Zhang Yanyan pretended to be embarrassed and came forward to scratch her.
Tian Xiuyao was most afraid of being tickled, so she exclaimed and quickly grabbed Shen Jintang's arm and hid behind her.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yanyan even scratched Shen Jintang's itch.
Three beautiful and prosperous girls suddenly made a fuss.
Several girls headed by Liang Ruxuan watched the three people playing and wanted to go over to talk, but there seemed to be a natural barrier around the three of them, and no one could get in.
Liang Ruxuan is a little confused. When did the three of them become so familiar?
His gaze suddenly fell on Shen Yunxian who was not far away, and the expression on her face suddenly turned into one of shyness.
"You guys play here for a while, I'll go over there." After saying something to the girls beside her, she walked towards Shen Yun.
"Brother Shen." She walked to Shen Yunhan's side, her heart pounding wildly.
Shen Yunxian and Shen Yunxuan were also having wine and chatting with these young gentlemen from the noble families.
When they heard someone calling him, they all turned around to look.
"Girl, what's the matter with you?" Shen Yunxian looked at her and asked with a slight smile on his lips.
Liang Ruxuan was so moved by his smile that she suddenly forgot what to say.
Others who knew Liang Ruxuan said, "Miss Liang, Brother Yunban is asking you. What do you want from him?"
Shen Yunban also looked at her with questioning eyes.
A humble young master, as gentle as jade.
Somehow, these two sentences flashed through Liang Ruxuan's mind.
In an instant, my face was as hot as fire, and it was completely red from the inside out.
She opened her mouth, said nothing, and ran away.
Until she turned a corner and could no longer see Shen Yun's figure, Shen Yun's voice and smile kept flashing in her mind.
The girl who was with her suddenly covered her face and ran towards her when she saw her, thinking she had been wronged in some way.
I quickly followed him.
But seeing that she was blushing like something, she quickly asked with concern: "Xuanxuan, what's wrong with you? Are you having a fever?"
Liang Ruxuan touched her hot cheek and said calmly: "Maybe it's too hot and stuffy here."
When the other girls heard this, they looked at each other. Even though the stove was lit in the winter, they never felt hot.
Shen Yun was very surprised when he saw her running away with a blushing face.
But he didn't think much and turned around and sat down.
A man at the same table glanced at him and said with a smile: "That Miss Liang seemed to be running away with a blushing face. Could it be that she fell in love with Brother Yunban?"
They are now at the age when their families are talking about getting married. Some of them already have a common roommate in their house. Naturally, they are not ignorant people. They all laughed when they heard this.
Shen Jintang and the other three stopped playing and sat down together to drink tea and chat.
She looked at her brother's table from a distance, who were changing cups and cups. They had already drank several bottles of wine. She was afraid that they would have a headache after drinking too much, so she called Bai Zhi: "Go and bring a pot of tea to my eldest and second brother's table." Past."
Bai Zhi nodded and said yes.
Then he made a pot of tea and brought it to Shen Yun's table.
Chapter completed!
