As soon as Xu Wenlan stepped onto the stands, she felt that everyone's eyes fell on her, some were casually swept by, some were familiar with kindness, and some were malicious and ruthless.

Although she felt it, Xu Wenlan just didn't notice anything. Slowly stepped forward and gave a deep salute, she said in a deep voice: "The people's daughter Xu Wenlan is a gift for adults. ”

The county magistrate, who was whispering to the master next to him and saying something "Jiang Bi is like a blue boat like an arrow", raised his head, and smiled after just one glance: "Yo, it's actually such a child......"

Because he saw that Xu Wenlan was young, he accepted his thoughts about making poetry for a while. The master also breathed a sigh of relief, the master who was waiting for him was obviously a poet, but it was best to make poems that were not four or six invisible, he had really heard enough.

felt that Xu Wenlan had relieved his siege, and the master smiled and said: "No, it's really young, but it's also an adult's rule, otherwise such a child knows something, and he will take the initiative to give gifts to adults." ”

Master's words were just right, and he was scratching the itch of the county order, and in the harmony of the people around him, he laughed, and his attitude was even more kind: "Little girl, don't be afraid of ......"

Xu Wenlan raised her head, smiled, and said calmly: "The people are not afraid!" Although I admire the majesty of adults, I often hear my parents say that adults are our parents and officials, and they love the people the most, so the people are not afraid, they just respect the adults......"

"Hey, what a little girl who can talk!" The county commander smiled, looked at Xu Wenlan, and couldn't help but say again: "It's ...... bold too"

This little girl is really not afraid of him, look at the eyes that are as clear as water, there is clearly no fear, look at the appearance, but also born beautiful, although she is still young, but she has shown a pretty and elegant posture, and she will be a beauty when she grows up.

Such a woman, and such a conversation, where does she look like a country girl?

Looking at Xu Wenlan's cloth clothes, the county magistrate couldn't help frowning, wondering if the rich family under his rule deliberately let the daughter of the family dress up as a country daughter to please him.

The master saw it clearly from the sidelines, and knew that his grandfather was suspicious, not to mention the grandfather, even he didn't believe that such a girl was a country girl.

Look, in front of so many people, I saw the county lord again, but I didn't mean to be restrained, but I was a bit of a banner girl.

Frowning, he said in his heart that it would be difficult to expose it if he really pretended, and at this moment, He Yan in the ceremonial room approached with a smile: "The adults don't know this girl, but her brother has seen it." ”

The county commander raised his eyebrows, and subconsciously looked at the eldest young master of the Guo Buluo family who was nearby.

He Yan didn't realize it, but still smiled and said: "It's Bai Shengwen who was born a few days ago - the two brothers of the Bai family who fought against the beard a few years ago!" ”

As soon as He Yan said this, the county order immediately remembered.

At the beginning, he personally met the two brothers, and praised them as a pair of little heroes for the country and the people, Xian Zhongkun, who had such two little heroes under his rule, and it was also his political achievements, at that time, because of this, he also won the prefect's commendation, and it was also because of this that as soon as he saw Bai Shengwen's name during the county exam, he immediately clicked.

"It turned out to be the sister of the two brothers, no wonder she was so free and easy......"

The county order smiled, but the master blinked: The Bai family? Miss Xu?

I want to have some other stories, but at this moment, I don't want to ask too much.

Thinking of the praise he received in front of the prefect, the county magistrate was a little more happy, and beckoned with a smile: "Let the official see what kind of gift you offered." ”

Xu Wenlan stepped forward in response, held the crockpot in both hands and handed it to the officials who stepped forward: "My lord, the folk girl is offering sugar." ”

The county magistrate who was about to lift the lid was stunned, frowned and smiled again: "Sure enough, it's a child......"

If there is anything to offer sugar, you can buy it in the grocery store, but it's just that the child wants to show his face, and it's not worth being angry.

Thinking like this, the county magistrate was about to wave his hand to let the little girl retreat, but he heard her say: "My lord, this is not the sugar of the south, but the sugar made by the north itself." ”

The county commander raised his eyebrows and couldn't help laughing: "Is the cane transported to make sugar in the north?" Sugarcane transportation is more troublesome than sugar, it is better to transport sugar directly, and if you have to transport sugarcane to make sugar, isn't it putting the cart before the horse?! Fooling around......"

"My lord," Xu Wenlan raised her voice to interrupt him, "My lord, this is not sugar made from sugar cane, let alone raw materials transported from the south. ”

Unexpectedly, the county magistrate looked at Xu Wenlan, but he really believed what the little girl said, beckoned and shouted to the official who was holding the sugar jar and was retreating, he lifted the lid, and saw that it was as white as snow inside, and it was really sugar, and it was a very fine frosting.

Gently squeeze it and lick it with the tip of your tongue, which is a little sweeter than cane sugar: "This is really not sugar made from sugar cane?" ”

"Back to my lord, this is indeed not sugar made from sugar cane, and the people dare not deceive the adults." Xu Wenlan pursed the corners of her lips and said in a deep voice: "My lord, this sugar is made of beets - my second brother is under the stands, can you take a look at the beets?" ”

"Right down there? Spread it quickly......" The county magistrate shouted urgently, his voice revealing a bit of excitement.

The master has been with him for a few years, and this will be in touch with the county order, and whispered in his ear: "My lord, I haven't heard of this beet before, if it can really make sugar......

Waving his hand to stop the master from continuing, the county commander looked intently at the young man who came to the stage with the basket, and even stood up when he approached.

Others still think that the county order is a bit of a fuss, but Chengyu has already understood.

Since ancient times, sugar has been eaten in the north, either made from malt, or frosted from sugar cane brought from the south, because of the long distance, the price of sugar in the north is more expensive than salt.

If it is true that the north grows a kind of sugar beet that can produce sugar, there is no need to transport sugar from the south from now on, and since I am a child, the sugar price will inevitably fall when sugar is produced in the north, which will help people's livelihood. Speaking from the beginning, it has changed the pattern of sugar transportation from the south to the north, and northerners can also eat their own sugar. Moreover, it is a great achievement to produce new crops under the rule and make the people rich.

Standing in front of the basket, the county magistrate picked up a beet, both suspicious and happy: "Is it the sugar made from this beet?" ”

"Yes, sir." Xu Wenlan replied respectfully: "My lord, now the Minnu's family grows sugar beet, and the output is limited. If everyone can grow this sugar beet, then we northerners will be able to eat our own sugar in the north. ”

"The sugar ...... of the north" flashed his eyes, and the county commander suddenly clapped his hands and laughed: "Well said!" We northerners can also produce sugar ourselves! Well presented for this gift! This official will give this sugar as northern sugar today - I only hope that we northerners can eat our own sugar as soon as possible......"

The master in the back smiled and said, "Not only do we eat it ourselves, but we also have to transport it to the south so that the southerners can also taste it......"

Before he finished speaking, the county magistrate burst into laughter.

The sedan chair was carried by everyone, and even those in the stands who didn't fully understand it laughed along.

Cheng Yu raised his eyebrows, his eyes fell on the field and stood silently, and the smiling girl suddenly laughed.
