Chapter 124 Sending Durian to Bai Jin
Shen Li carefully reviewed the design drawings again, calculated the budget carefully, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that everything was correct.
She was a carefree person by nature, and now that she had completed this crucial task, she felt relieved. She immediately decided to hand over the subsequent matters to her father Shen Shaodong, so she took the drawings and went straight to Shen Shaodong's room.
"Father, here are the design drawings and budget for the courtyard, ancestral hall, and school, as well as the budget for our yard. I have done everything I can, and now it's up to you."
Shen Li handed the drawings to Shen Shaodong. There was a hint of fatigue in her eyes, but more of the calmness after completing the task.
Shen Shaodong took the blueprint and looked at the detailed markings and plans on it. He was filled with satisfaction and praise: "Li'er, thank you for your hard work. Your father will make proper arrangements."
Shen Li nodded slightly and turned to leave. As soon as she left the study, she remembered the agreement with Bai Jin and everything that had happened before, and felt that it was time to express her feelings and apology.
So he called Shen Yu and whispered, "Shen Yu, ride on a fast horse, take this backpack and go to the county government office, and deliver the contents to County Magistrate Bai."
Shen Yu opened the backpack curiously and saw that it was filled with various fruits, including emerald green watermelons, pink peaches, bright red apples, golden pears, and even durian with a unique smell.
He couldn't help but wrinkled his nose: "Miss, this durian smell is so strong, will County Magistrate Bai like it?"
Shen Li chuckled and said, "Just send it over, don't ask any more questions.
I have my own considerations. County Magistrate Bai and I will have more interactions in the future, and he will definitely understand my intentions."
Although Shen Yu still had doubts in his heart, he obediently put the backpack on his back and climbed onto the horse.
The horse neighed, raised its four hooves, and galloped towards the county government office.
Along the way, the sound of horse hooves clattered by. Shen Yu held the reins tightly, thinking about the deep meaning of the young lady's actions.
He had learned over the past few days that these fruits were unusual, but since the young lady was willing to give them to the county magistrate, she must have had her own considerations.
Shen Li stood there, looking at the figure going away, with a meaningful smile on her lips. She knew that her plan was progressing step by step. If she could work with a talent like Bai Jin, it would be of immeasurable help to both the family and this land. Even though he might feel a little confused about this sudden gift at the moment, she believed that everything would become clear in the days to come.
Shen Yu rode on Chunhua like a gust of wind and arrived at the gate of the county government in the blink of an eye.
You know, although Chunhua is Shen Li's exclusive precious mount, she has only traveled far away once since coming out of that wonderful space. This is the second time.
The scene before going out was very interesting. Shen Li was like a worried little parent. She gently touched Chunhua's head and stuffed two sweet candies into it. She kept muttering to herself, "Chunhua, you have to be good. Be careful on the way. Don't let your Uncle Shen fall, otherwise I won't agree!"
Shen Yu was dumbfounded watching from the side, muttering to himself, "It's not like Chunhua and I have been out together before, why is Miss doing this? Nagging at a horse, it's doubtful it will understand!"
Hey, who could have imagined that reality would give him a slap in the face right away? Chunhua neighed softly and gracefully, nodding her big head vigorously as if pounding garlic, as if loudly declaring, "I understand everything. Leave it to me!"
Shen Yu had no idea of the secret. He was completely unaware that he could not understand Chunhua's words, while Shen Li could communicate with her smoothly.
This Chunhua is a lively little mare that Shen Li carefully selected in that mysterious space.
At that time, it, along with the first horse, two cows and 19 other agile war horses, were fed precious spiritual liquid by Shen Li.
Because of this, they all possess intelligence and are extremely intelligent, and are no longer ordinary livestock.
At this moment, Shen Yu dismounted swiftly, straightened his clothes, and respectfully walked towards the official standing upright at the gate of the county government office.
He bowed slightly, clasped his hands together, and performed a standard salute. He said in a voice neither humble nor arrogant, "Sir, our village chief specifically asked me to come here with some small gifts for Lord Bai. Please let him know. Thank you very much."
The officer looked up at Shen Yu and Chunhua beside him, nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards the county government office to report.
