Chapter 1050 The Lazy and Bad Sister-in-Law of the Blessed Nongmen (45)

Therefore, Xu Yin, who was changed into new clothes at the mercy of the county magistrate's wife, and Cui Mengjin, who was called back from the field by someone sent by the county magistrate, hugged their son who was sleeping soundly, and knelt with their heads buzzing to welcome the order issued by His Majesty the new emperor. This reward edict.

"By God's favor, the emperor summoned and said: The Xu family in Qinghe County is ingenious and intelligent. He is diligent and conscientious in farming. He not only researched the magic weapon for increasing production, but also prayed for me to find thirty high-yield grain seeds... I am Greatly pray for the blessings of the common people. Special titles of eighth-rank farmers, enjoy the salary of the county magistrate, a house in the capital, one hundred mu of cultivated land, one thousand taels of silver, ten pieces of jewelry, ten bolts of silk and satin, and several servants... I respect this!"

   "..."

   "What are you doing in a daze, thank you!" The county magistrate's wife tugged at Xu Yin's sleeve.

  Xu Yin had no choice but to kowtow to thank her.

   There are ten thousand sentences in my mind about mmp, I don't know whether to say it or not.

   Co-authored for the past four years, the county magistrate dedicated everything he took from her to the crown prince...

   It’s no wonder that the system has been beeping and dinging in the past few years, and energy has been credited to the account almost every day. I also want to say that Mr. Chen is quite capable, teaching so many people to use new-style fertilizers and eat food grown from new-style fertilizers. It is not he who dares to give orders, but the prince.

  So, three years ago, he tried his best to invite himself to farm in Zhuangzi in the capital. I am afraid it is not an ordinary Zhuangzi, but Huangzhuang, right?

   "Congratulations, both of you!"

  After the reading, County Magistrate Chen put away the imperial decree, and bowed his hands to Xu Yin and his wife with a smile on his face.

  He has also been promoted. As a servant of His Highness the Crown Prince, he has achieved Taoism and ascended to heaven by himself. Now he has been promoted three times in a row, and he is already a fourth-rank Beijing official.

   "Sister Yin, wait for you to settle down at home, let's go to Beijing together!"

  Xu Yin's jaw almost dislocated: "We must also enter Beijing?"

   "Of course! Your Majesty wants to meet you and your wife. The emperor's grace is so great, you should also go to thank you. Also, don't you want to see the houses and fields in the capital?"

   "..."

   To be honest, I don't want to!

   "What about you? Do you want to go to the capital?"

   Sending off the county magistrate and his wife and a group of villagers who watched the excitement, looking at the pile of rewards, and the six servants standing respectfully outside the house waiting for distribution of work, Xu Yin asked the man with a headache while pinching her brows.

  Cui Mengjin took her into her arms and massaged her temples: "If the lady wants to go, I will go with the lady."

   "Alas..." Xu Yin sighed, "This is no longer a question we want to think about. The emperor summons, and the common people have no right to say no."

  Looking down at his son who was still grinning and giggling in his sleep, he couldn't help but want to pinch his fleshy little cheeks, heartless brats don't have these troubles.

   If you want to go anyway, it is better to prepare early.

   "In this way, the house will not be built for now, and we will talk about it when we come back."

Originally, the autumn harvest was over, and the silver taels on the bright side were finally saved enough. She wanted to build a courtyard house with blue bricks and black tiles, and a wall around the main courtyard. And the pigsty and chicken and duck coops at the back are all surrounded.

  Set up a grape trellis on the patio of the main courtyard, transplanted a few wild osmanthus, and repaired a set of stone tables and benches to enjoy the coolness in summer...I have gone through the design drawings in my mind several times, and it turned out...the plan really couldn't keep up with the changes!

  Cui Mengjin comforted her: "Let's go out for a walk in winter."

  He remembered going to Chunzhou Mansion four years ago, and she had a great time strolling around. The capital is at the foot of the emperor, so it must be more lively and interesting than Chunzhou Mansion.

  Xu Yin also complained to her man, when the biggest boss summoned her, she had to have the courage to refuse.

  Lizheng happened to go out today, and when he came back, he learned that Meng Jin's daughter-in-law had been conferred the rank of eighth-rank Sinonong by the new emperor, and he almost lost his composure in astonishment.

Speaking of the official title of Sinong, it was added by the Supreme Emperor when he ascended the throne. Unlike the county magistrate who had to work in the yamen, Si Nong was a idle job, but enjoyed all the benefits of the county magistrate. For so many years, there are very few farmers who have been granted titles, and Xu Yin is the first one in Qinghe County.

After the elders of the    clan heard about it, they chose an auspicious day to open the ancestral hall and recorded the name of Meng Jin's daughter-in-law in the genealogy.

  Xu Yin twitched the corners of her mouth, that is to say, she originally only deserved to be named "Meng Jin's wife Xu" in the Cui family tree, but now she can record her full name.

   "Xu Erya? No, no, no! My name is Xu Yin, Caotouyin."

  After the ancestral hall was opened, all the crops that should be harvested in the field were harvested, and Xu Yin and his wife kept enough rations for the next year, and sold the excess;

  The lotus root in the lotus pond is dug up and divided into three groups, one group is reserved for seeds, one group is still invested in the collective lotus pond, and the other group is invested in the lotus root flour processing workshop;

  Six servants, leaving two to look after the house. The chickens, ducks and pigs at home need to be fed, and the winter vegetables in the field will not be harvested until some time later.

  The four went to Beijing with them, helping with luggage and taking care of the children on the road.

   This trip to the capital, she brought a lot of selected grains, vegetables, and melons.

  Since the emperor summoned her as a farmer, he would definitely ask some questions related to farming. Bringing some of the various seeds can also lead to multiple topics. Otherwise, are you staring at the emperor?

  Finally, there is a basket of freshly harvested papayas and a papaya tree packed with soil.

  The papaya seeds bought by Chunzhou Mansion, after four years of careful watering, finally bear fruit this year. The emperor rewarded her with so many things, so she should take this as a gift.

   Cough, the emperor may not like it, but his queen and concubine must be satisfied with this gift.

   After packing up, Xu Yin and his wife took their children and servants and set off for the capital.

   On the day of departure, the villagers of Dawa Village came out collectively to see them off.

   "Brother, sister-in-law."

   Cui Jikang bid farewell to the two with red eyes:

   "It's a long way to go to the capital, brother and sister-in-law must take care!"

   "Yes." Cui Mengjin was as concise as ever.

  Xu Yin patted the young man on the shoulder: "Do your best in the rural examination! Maybe you have to go to the capital to take the general examination before we come back from the capital."

  The boy's eyes were bright: "Can I do it?"

   "Of course! Sister-in-law is optimistic about you!"

  The boy clenched his fists and nodded excitedly: "I will work hard."

  Cui Shi on the side rolled her eyes: "Third brother, don't listen to your sister-in-law's nonsense, it's not so easy to pass the exam! According to me, it's just a waste of time and effort."

  Others felt that Cui's words were too disappointing: "Ji Kang is about to end, and you still make sarcastic remarks. You are still a mother, so don't look forward to him, okay?"

Xu Yin ignored this mother-in-law who loves to be disappointed and always wipes tears from her red eyes. She pulled Cui Jikang over, reminded him of the precautions for going to the examination room, and slipped a silver ticket to him: "The poor family is rich, don't go out." Show your wealth, but don't be too frugal, treat yourself better. It doesn't matter if you don't pass the exam, you are still young, so you should go to practice."

   "Thank you, sister-in-law." Cui Jikang's voice was choked up.

   "Okay, okay, we should go!"

  Her natal family is still waiting to see them off at the intersection ahead, and socializing is also very tiring, alas.
