Shen Ping frowned: "Is this what you are using?"

"Godmother, this is not in Heyang. I want to buy some soaps made in the workshop, but they are not available. I can only buy these soaps."

Shen Ping remembered that when Mo Ru came to the state capital, she gave her dozens of soaps, but she didn't expect them to be used up so quickly. Fortunately, there were still some left in the space.

As if seeing Shen Ping's doubts, Mo Yu explained. Some wives of officials came over and expressed envy when they learned that the scented soap they used was different.

Mother-in-law Dong gave some soaps as gifts to some wives of officials.

"Oh~"

Shen Ping suddenly understood.

Unexpectedly, there is still a gap in the market here, and Shen Ping now has another bold idea.

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the government office, and Hongmei hurried in to inform Dong.

At this moment, Lord Xu had just come down from the hall and returned to the backyard. When he heard that Shen Ping had arrived, he went out with Mrs. Dong to greet her without even having time to change out of his official uniform.

I didn't expect this prefecture's government office to be so grand! The gate is tall and magnificent, with two stone lions standing on the left and right in front of the gate.

The courtyard wall was nearly two meters high, and there were four officers guarding the gate in front and behind. Cuihong and Cuifeng were stunned by what they saw.

Not to mention the two of them, even Shen Ping was shocked in her heart. She had only seen the government office and the county government office on TV before.

I visited it today and found that there is a huge difference between the two. If the county government is the younger brother, then the prefectural government is the older brother! It feels completely different.

She thought about how magnificent the palace would be when she went to the capital. But when she thought about how the palace gate extended into the sea and that she had no idea where Shenyang was at the moment, Shen Ping's heart sank.

Compared to Cui Hong's surprise, Cui Feng was even more ecstatic. She didn't expect that this Madam Shen actually knew the governor of the prefecture. It was right to follow her. She had finally met a noble person.

Mo Ru led Shen Ping and the others into the gate, just as Lord Xu and Madam Xu came out.

Unexpectedly, Lord Xu was dressed in official uniform and looked very serious. Cuihong and Cui Feng's palms suddenly began to sweat.

"Mr. Xu, Mrs. Xu, Happy New Year!" Shen Ping smiled and waved at them as she watched them come out from a distance.

When Lord Xu and his wife approached, Wuchun bowed respectfully to Lord Xu and Mrs. Dong: "Godfather, godmother~"

"Hey~" Dong replied happily: "It's only been a new year, why does it feel like Wuchun has grown taller again?"

Then, he grabbed Shen Ping's hand and said with a smile: "Madam Shen, I've been looking forward to seeing you for a long time! I've been looking forward to seeing you every day!"

"Godfather, godmother~" Wuchun bowed respectfully towards Lord Xu and Mrs. Dong.

“It’s only been a new year, but why does it feel like Wuchun has grown taller?

"That's right. My wife talks about you every day. If it weren't for the fact that you are a woman, I would be jealous!" Lord Xu said jokingly.

It felt a bit strange to hear these words coming out of the mouth of Lord Xu, who was wearing an official uniform.

If Shen Ping hadn't known that he and she were modern people, she would have really thought that Lord Xu spoke frivolously.

Cui Feng and Cui Hong looked at each other in surprise. They both had not expected that this governor, who looked so different from his appearance, would actually joke with their wives.

Shen Ping smiled: "Haha~ Then I really thank Madam Xu for her kindness."

"Come, Madam Shen, please come in~" Lord Xu made a gesture of invitation.

Dong asked Tiechui to drive the carriage to the backyard through the alley next to her. Then Cuihong and Cui Feng took the things off the carriage.

"Come! Madam Shen, please take a seat!" Mrs. Dong said enthusiastically.

"Mrs. Xu, I didn't bring anything else this time. I just brought some things made in the workshop." Shen Ping sat down and asked Cuihong and the others to put the things on the table.

These are soaps and chili sauces, as well as a few sets of skin care products, and two 10-jin cans of peanut oil. There are also some salt-baked chicken and stewed meat.

Mrs. Dong's eyes lit up immediately, and she smiled and said, "Thank you so much, Madam Shen, for knowing that we like stewing. And your chili sauce is really delicious!"

Godmother, if I had known you brought so many things, I should not have bought this soap, instead I would have looked so annoyed.

"It's okay, we don't need it, leave it to the servants!" Mrs. Dong hurriedly said to comfort them.

"Why is Xu Hao not here?" Shen Ping looked around.

"It's New Year's Day, and I asked him to go and give a gift to the teacher. Besides, he has to go to class in two days," Dong explained.

"Ugh!"

Wuchun looked regretful: "It's a pity that I came a little late and couldn't visit the teacher with my brother-in-law."

"It's okay, it's the same if your brother-in-law goes!" Mo Ru said with a smile.

"Mrs. Shen and the Fifth Young Master, please have some tea." Hongmei placed the tea in front of Shen Ping and Wuchun.

Lord Xu went back to his room and changed into plain clothes, looking much better.

When Xu Feng saw the peanut oil on the table, his eyes lit up: "Madam Shen, this is good stuff!"

"Lord Xu really knows what's good. This is a new product from our workshop, peanut oil~" Shen Ping said proudly.

Lord Xu gave Shen Ping a thumbs up, his eyes full of admiration.

"By the way, godmother, where is Xu Feng?" Wuchun looked around curiously. He knew that Xu Feng was a restless person and loved to argue with him, so why didn't he see him today?

"Yes, look at my memory!" Mrs. Dong slapped her head and said, "I forgot to tell you that Xu Feng and Hao Er went to the teacher together!"

"Oh~"

When Wuchun came back and didn't see Xu Feng, he felt a little disappointed.

"Don't worry, they will probably be back soon." Dong said to Wuchun with a smile, and then asked Hongmei to tell the people in the kitchen to prepare dinner.

"Madam Shen, you must be tired after traveling all the way. Why don't I take you to the room to rest first?" Mrs. Dong looked concerned.

"Yes, you go and rest for a while. I'll ask someone to call you when dinner is ready!" Lord Xu also nodded.

"Godmother, I'll take you back to the house to rest." Mo Ru said, standing up.

Shen Ping was really tired at this moment. She had been traveling for nearly a week. She had ridden in carriages more times in just these few days than she had in the two years since she came into the world. Her buttocks suddenly ached and she felt like her whole body was falling apart.

Mo Ru asked Hong Mei to take Cui Hong, Cui Feng and Tie Chui to the servants' room in the backyard. As for Shen Ping, Mo Ru arranged her in the second-floor wing.

The room was quite spacious, with the bed in the inner room and a large round table and a few round stools outside. Mo Ru was afraid that the room would be cold, so he had someone light the stove in advance and put a teapot on the stove.

"Godmother, you are tired after the long journey, take a rest first." Mo Ru said to Shen Ping,

Shen Ping held Mo Ru's hand and said, "Talk to your godmother for a while."

It’s better to sit down.

Shen Ping looked at Mo Ru. She hadn't seen her for a while. Her face had become visibly rounder, and her skin was fair and rosy. It seemed that she was living a good life in the provincial capital after getting married.
