The corn had already been weighed, and Li Zhang and the others naturally wanted to stay and taste the so-called corn, but Ling Yi unceremoniously let people send them off.

Although Li Zhang is unwilling, the great credit for Ling Yi's planting of corn is in front of him, Qingyun is just around the corner, and he really can't afford to offend, not to mention that the county prince's mansion also offended the Xiao family before, with the relationship between the general's mansion and Xiao Yu, it is strange that Ling Yi will give him a good look.

When he sank his face and left with the crowd.

In the courtyard of the Xiao family, Ling Yi was still discussing with Xiao Yu how to eat corn: "This corn kernel is so hard, I'm afraid it's hard to cook it directly, right?" ”

Hao Jun said from the side: "I think it should be ground into flour and boiled like wheat and sorghum to eat." ”

Xiao Yu nodded, and asked Xiao Yucheng to take a few people to Lizheng's house to move a big stone mill back, and said: "It seems that the family also needs to let people make a stone mill, and you can't always go out to borrow others." ”

Ling Yan smiled, "Isn't that a simple matter. ”

Xiao Yucheng quickly borrowed a stone mill and came back, and a group of men in the army under Ling Yi grinded corn crumble and cornmeal for Xiao Yu in a short time.

With these two things, Xiao Pei herself guessed what to do, and after getting affirmation from Xiao Yu and Ling Yi, it didn't take long for her to make fragrant corn porridge, corn tortillas and corn steamed buns.

And this time, a few people didn't try the chicken and dog first, so they ate it.

Xiao Pei's craftsmanship has always been very good, and Ling Yi and the others are very satisfied with the taste of corn after it is made into food.

It was confirmed that this corn could be used to satisfy hunger and hunger, and the yield was so high, Ling Yi, Wang Lei, Xiao Yucheng and others did not hide their excitement, and immediately let the kitchen make good dishes, and took this corn as the staple food, and held a celebration banquet in the courtyard.

also let Xiao Yu open several jars of aging.

As a result, everyone was drunk one by one, even Ling Yi was no exception. Ling Yan stayed at Xiao's house that night, and several people gossiped until midnight.

The next day, after Ling Yi and a few people woke up, they remembered to report it.

Qin Guangyu lay on the bed in pain, listening to the news brought back by Zhao Jing, he was so angry that he coughed violently, which touched the wound, and the look on his face was even more hideous and terrifying.

Seeing Qin Guangyu with such a blue nose and swollen face, Zhao Jing couldn't help showing a trace of disgust on her face, but she quickly relented again.

Zhao Jing sat down next to her and persuaded softly: "Brother Qin, don't be angry, rest assured." The merits of this corn have already been rewarded several times, so what will be rewarded again this time? On the contrary, you should get better quickly and prepare for next year's exam. ”

Qin Guangyu's expression was slightly gloomy. That's right, with his talent and many years of hard study, he believes that he will be able to be named on the gold list and rise to the top. This is his fame in the examination, but it is much stronger than the Xiao family's climb to a high family and snatch it from him.

Thinking of this, Qin Guangyu's face couldn't help but show a little bit of anger again. That should have been his credit! In the future, he will take back everything that belongs to him!

Zhao Jing remembered that she was reprimanded by Li Ying for being useless in the palace just now, and her face sank a little. Xiao Yu should obviously be a peasant girl who is one level lower than her, but now she has climbed on her head, and the limelight is still so strong, suppressing the lord of Shuhui!

And wait, the higher you climb, the harder you fall!

Zhao Jing cursed hatefully, suppressed her anger and said a few words to Qin Guangyu before leaving, but she was still depressed in her heart.

Listening to Li Ying's words just now, the palace intended to be friendly with Xiao Yu, and Li Ying was extremely dissatisfied with this.

If before, Zhao Jing would not mind going to the Xiao family with her father to show goodwill and take the opportunity to have a good relationship with Xiao Yu, but now because of Qin Guangyu, the two families are equivalent to tearing their faces, and now they will break off the relationship with Qin Guangyu, which will only make the Xiao family look down on her even more.

Zhao Jing couldn't help gritting her teeth: Why can Xiao Yu live more chic and wanton than her! It's just that slang is born as a lowly embryo!

Thinking of this, Zhao Jing asked the coachman to turn around and go to the palace. She didn't believe that a man from a prominent family like the Lanling Xiao family would marry a slang girl! I must ask Li Ying to carefully check Xiao Yu's identity and origin.

Recently, there have been a lot of people from the Xiao family who have come to visit with gifts, but they have all been stopped by the guards outside.

How can the place where the corn is stored allow idle people to enter at will? In this way, the Xiao family sisters and brothers are a lot cleaner.

On this day, the Xiao family sisters and brothers received an invitation from Changle Villa, and the peonies in Yanshan Villa bloomed, and the two sisters were invited to enjoy the flowers.

Hearing that Ling Yan was also going, Xiao Yu immediately responded.

Nowadays, there are fewer peonies in the south of the Yangtze River, and even fewer in the Yuedi area. Because most of the peony varieties in the north cannot adapt to the hot and humid weather in Lingnan, the florists of Changle Villa can plant peonies alive, which is also a stunt.

And the peonies that are blooming more and more nowadays are worth appreciating even if they are of ordinary variety.

Early the next morning, Ling Yan came to Xiao's house early, walked with Xiao Yu and Xiao Pei, and went to Changle Villa.

I haven't been here for a few months, and the path outside the cottage is covered with pink briars, and the breeze blows, and the refreshing fragrance comes to my face.

The villa is still full of greenery, flowers and trees.

Hua Yue wore a long robe with tooth-white sleeves today, and her robe rose in the wind, looking like a celestial, Xiao Yu was stunned when she saw her.

When Ling Yan saw Xiao Yu's appearance, she suddenly understood something, and turned her head to look for Zhong Lang's figure.

It just so happened that Zhong Lang also looked over, and the two looked at each other, both of them were stunned, and they all looked away. Ling Yan immediately looked at the furnishings in the hall.

The hall is cool and comfortable, Hua Yue has let people put the flowers on the table, only to see two pots of peonies, a pot of pink and purple inlaid flowers, a pot of flowers pure white, graceful, it is the famous Zhao Fan and pear blossom white. Ling Yan was immediately amazed.

Although Xiao Yu didn't have much research on raising flowers, he had also heard of Er Qiao, and said enviously: "I don't know where I invited the florist?" ”

Bai Shao next to him smiled: "This is a flower raised by Gongzi himself." ”

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and said a little embarrassed: "I forgot that the Yue Gongzi family was originally very good at planting flowers. ”

Hua Yue happened to come in from outside, smiled slightly when she heard this, and asked, "Miss Ayu also wants to learn to grow flowers?" In fact, it is not difficult to grow flowers. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yu blinked his eyes and said with great interest: "Then when I have planted all the grain, melons and fruits, I will learn to plant flowers." ”

Ling Yan couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.

Several people were talking, Ling Yi was late, and when he entered the door, he greeted everyone one by one, and then said directly: "I just received news from Beijing, and the Holy Lord is going to reward those who have made meritorious contributions to planting divine objects. ”

Hearing Ling Yi talk about this, everyone returned to their seats.

Xiao Yu opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know what rewards they have?" Is my county lord still there? ”

Although Ling Yi was puzzled by something when he came, he couldn't help laughing at this moment: "The Holy Lord has already drafted a decree, it should be to make Cousin Ayu the county lord!" ”

Hearing the news, Ling Yan and the others all looked at Xiao Yu in surprise and congratulated them repeatedly.

Xiao Yu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said: "Now that the official will has not been made, it is impossible to say." But if this is true, wouldn't I be of the same grade as Li Ying now? ”

Ling Yi nodded: "There is another strange thing, there is also Li Ying among the people who have been rewarded by the Holy Lord. A few of us went to Changzhou, why did Li Ying also find that sweet potato from overseas and came back, and quietly planted it into a harvest? ”

Everyone didn't expect this to happen, they looked at each other, and their expressions became solemn. (To be continued.) )
