Chapter 539: Cang Shuhang

In the partial hall, He Ming has been waiting for a long time. In the end, when he saw the Prefecture Magistrate, he hurriedly saluted.

Cang Shuhang waved his hand: “You don’t need to be polite. Is there anything I can do for you?”

He Ming waited until Cang Shuhang sat on his seat before he took out a red velvet box. Then, he handed it to him: “Daren, this is something this old one obtained by accident. I heard that you are looking for a gift to give to the Empress Dowager’s birthday. I saw this thing is good, I thought maybe it can also catch your attention. So this, I try sending it to you.”

Cang Shuhang looked at He Ming, who was very respectful in front of him and raised his eyebrow slightly. So to say, what’s in this box must be very valuable?

“Open it!” He said softly.

He Ming hurriedly opened the velvet box. Inside the box, on the red velvet cloth, there was a piece of crystal white jade pendant, carved with laughing Buddha. There was a very bright green color on the belly of the laughing Buddha. The jade quality looked very extraordinary.

Cang Shuhang took the jade pendant and carefully looked at it. There, he saw a small red dot on the fingertip of the Buddha’s finger. As if someone had dropped blood on it.

It was really a good thing, he has seen countless treasures in his life, but it was still his first time to see such a jade pendant. It has a rare texture and strange shape.

If this thing is given to the Empress Dowager, she will surely favor him. If that happened and the Empress Dowager praises him in front of the Emperor, won’t he get promoted?

Cang Shuhang nodded his head in satisfaction: “You have a heart.”

Seeing that Cang Shuhang had accepted it, He Ming’s heart finally felt at ease. Then, he said with a smile: “It’s an honor to be able to serve you, Daren.”

Cang Shuhang put back the jade pendant into the velvet box and looked at He Ming: “Last time, you said you wanted to work under me?”

He Ming hurriedly knelt and kowtowed heavily in front of Cang Shuhang: “Please give me a chance!”

Cang Shuhang was in a good mood, so he simply waved his hand: “Alright, there are exactly two vacancies in my office. I will write you a recommendation letter in a while. You can go to Master Song and he will arrange things for you.”

He Ming couldn’t close his mouth in happiness. He kowtowed to Cang Shuhang twice. He served as the county magistrate for seven years. For seven years, he didn’t dare to raise his voice, he stayed in the same place.

Finally, he waited for this opportunity.

After He Ming left, Cang Shuhang played with the jade pendant for a while. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. If it wasn’t the Empress Dowager’s birthday, he will not give it up. He will keep it for himself.

Surprisingly, the mid-winter in the northwest was not as cold as early winter.

Perhaps she got already used to the cold, so she no longer find it cold.

It hasn’t snowed for several days, the weather has been clear for several days, the temperature has risen, and the ground was exposed. She suddenly began to miss the white scenery.

At this time, Zhou Xiaofeng had set up the carriage and put the medicine she made last night in the carriage.

When he turned around, he saw her sitting in a daze on the low stool at the door, staring at the big jar in the courtyard, but it seemed that she was not looking at the big jar. What was she thinking? Who is she thinking about? Is it Hu Feng?

“It’s time to go!” Zhou Xiaofeng shouted towards Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi returned to her senses, got up, and looked inside the house, then asked: “How about sister-in-law?”

Zhou Xiaofeng replied: “Auntie went to the village to collect the embroidered clothes. She said she wanted to catch up and make more handmade dolls so that she could sell them in the store.”

Bai Zhi nodded her head absent-minded: “Did she say to wait for her?”

Zhou Xiaofeng shook his head: “No, there is no stock in the store. She can’t open the store today. She asked us to go by ourselves.”
