Red Dust Daqian

Xiangcao was secretly happy. Zhou Sen did a great job this time. There will be one less corrupt official in the world. I hope Shangguan Wuhou can continue to do good deeds for a longer time, so that the people of Changnan County will suffer less. In this way, Shangguan Wuhou can be considered a good official, which is also a blessing for Changnan.

Charity porridge distribution has not happened in Changnan County for many years. Even in the year of disaster, the county government only did it for show. Did the magistrate who skinned the pig change his nature or did he have another conspiracy? The people who were disappointed with the Changnan County Government could not help but wonder.

Zhou Sen, Xiangcao and the people from the county government came to the porridge shed in a mighty procession. The people saw two Taoists among the people distributing porridge and talked about it. Some sharp-eyed people recognized that the two Taoists were Zhang Mumu and his sister Zhang Xiangcao, the Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain who helped Changnan County to kill the dog and wolf monsters some time ago. Oh, it turned out that the Taoist priest had influenced the county magistrate who was skinning pigs. He had just saved the people of Changnan County from the chaos of monsters, and now he has influenced the county magistrate to implement good policies for the poor. The Taoist priest is really compassionate and saves all living beings.

After a day of distributing porridge, Zhou Sen and Xiangcao said goodbye to everyone in the county government office and went back home exhausted.

Everyone else in the Tianshi Mansion had finished their day's work and had returned home. Madam Xiao bought a cook, a maid, and a servant from the tooth merchant. Zhumutang Kiln Factory also regained its former popularity under the organization and preparation of Xiao Zhuyu, and the potters also returned to the kiln factory. Zhao Tiechui lived up to Zhou Sen's trust and purchased most of the raw materials and auxiliary materials. Under their management, it would take only a few days for the kiln factory to get back on track. Although colored glaze could not be fired for the time being, ceramics were already a breeze.

The daylight was gone, night fell, and when everyone was ready to rest, Shen Qianrou actually returned to the Tianshi Mansion with her maid Shen Yueer. She was not planning to stay at the Shen family for another day, but returned to the Tianshi Mansion overnight. Did Shen Qianrou's parents agree so easily?

Zhou Sen complained: "Miss Shen, don't you plan to stay at the Shen family for a while before coming here? Miss Shen's parents are so impatient that they want to kick Miss Shen out of the Shen family!"

Shen Qianrou glanced at Zhou Sen with disdain and ignored him. She introduced her personal maid to everyone and said, "This is Qianrou's personal maid Xiaoyue'er. She has been with Qianrou since she could remember. She is nominally a maid, but in fact she is more like Qianrou's sister. From now on, Yue'er will also be a member of Qianmutang. She will move into Tianshi Mansion with Qianrou. We are inseparable." Shen Yue'er saluted and greeted everyone.

Shen Yue'er had moon-like eyebrows, a pair of beautiful eyes with a sparkling light, a straight and handsome nose, slightly flushed cheeks, cherry lips that exhaled like orchids, and oval cheeks that were very beautiful. Her skin was as delicate as frost and snow, and her figure was delicate, lively and cute. She was dressed much more gorgeously than the average maid, and looked more like a lady than a maid. It was obvious that Shen Qianrou loved her very much and always treated her as a sister.

Following Shen Qianrou came several carriages. Shen Qianrou must have moved all her belongings here. The things in the carriages made everyone amazed, and the preciousness and luxury of the items also made everyone envious. If someone who didn't know the truth saw it, they would think that this must be a rich family marrying a girl and giving her a rich dowry!

Looking at Shen Qianrou's rich belongings, Zhou Sen said sourly: "Is this the Tianshi Mansion or the Shen Mansion? You moved so many things here, and our small temple, which is only enough to shelter from the wind and rain, can't accommodate them. Why call it Tianshi Mansion in the future? Just call it Qianrou Mansion!" Shen Qianrou said embarrassedly: "I accidentally brought too much. I have streamlined a lot. The things I brought can be used by everyone. Besides, Taoist Mu, aren't Qianrou's things your things? Do you need to distinguish them so clearly from me? It's not impossible for you to change Tianshi Mansion to Qianrou Mansion." Xiangcao, Xiao Zhuyu, and Madam Xiao, who couldn't stand the two people flirting, were sour and went back to their rooms. Zhao Tiechui thought that there was another hostess in the house, and diligently helped Shen Qianrou unload the plants and put away the packages. It took until the hour of Hai to finish the arrangement.

With a creak, Zhou Sen skillfully pushed open the half-closed window of Vanilla's room and climbed in. The dim room was lit by a faint candlelight. Vanilla was sitting next to the table with her back to the window, looking frail, as if she was waiting for Zhou Sen's arrival.

Hearing someone breaking into her room, Vanilla knew who it was without turning around. She said sourly, "Shouldn't you go to climb Qianrou's window today? Why didn't Qianrou pay attention to you? She didn't leave the door open for you, and you came to my place again. Forget the old when there is a new one." Zhou Sen was a little embarrassed and pretended to be calm as he sat next to Vanilla. He gently put his arm around Vanilla's waist and said affectionately, "Vanilla, what are you talking about? Qianrou and I are innocent. It's not what you think. Besides, no matter how many people there are, they can't replace your place in my heart. How can I forget the old when there is a new one? You are my unique Vanilla."

The love words sounded sour, but they were very useful. Vanilla pretended to be unhappy and tried to break free from Zhou Sen's arms. Seeing that Zhou Sen held her tighter, she stopped and scolded, "Hypocritical, sanctimonious. Qianrou is so beautiful, you have been interested in her for a long time, and you did such a dirty thing to her by the river that day. What are you talking about being pure and innocent? Do you know how important purity is to a woman? If you let Qianrou down, I will not forgive you!"

Zhou Sen felt so wronged, but still wanted to explain, so he said, "Sister, I was really wronged. When I rescued Qian Rou from the river that day, she had already fainted. If I hadn't given her artificial respiration in time, she would never wake up. The situation was critical, and there was no better way at the time. I didn't care about so many lives and gave Qian Rou artificial respiration." Xiangcao replied to Zhou Sen relentlessly, "Okay, okay, don't quibble anymore. I watched you grow up, and I know your moral character. What artificial respiration? It's a fabrication. You fell in love with Qian Rou, and you dare not admit it. I have kept Qian Rou for you, why are you still quibbling? Be careful that I will look down on you and be disappointed in you."

Zhou Sen was embarrassed. It was so unfair. In desperation, Zhou Sen held Vanilla's head with both hands, stared into her eyes and said, "If you don't believe me, I will show you how to do artificial respiration." The two looked at each other at a distance of 10 centimeters, and the atmosphere became a little ambiguous.

Zhou Sen didn't care, pinched Vanilla's nose, opened Vanilla's small mouth, kissed her fiercely, and then blew hard into her mouth. Vanilla was startled by Zhou Sen's sudden kiss, her mind went blank, immersed in it. But then she felt Zhou Sen blowing into her mouth, and she reacted from the moment of absent-mindedness. She immediately felt ashamed and angry, and slapped Zhou Sen.
