After the Chinese New Year, Ming Qian was going to take the children's exam, and he went to take the exam, which was very important to the Ming family. At that time, candidates gathered in the county, accommodation and meals were very expensive, and there were several days of continuous exams. Someone has to follow.

Pearl asked Liu Hai to bring peonies, flowers and roses to the capital to give gifts, this time not only to give gifts to the Hou Mansion in the capital, but also to the capital to inquire about the market. Pearl gave Liu Hai an address, which was a shop that Pearl used to go to buy flowers for the old lady. Let Liu Hai take a few pots of flowers to explore the way, and the price of purchasing flowers in Zhuozhou City is really limited and low. In the past, she bought flowers for the old lady, and the rare quality and good quality cost hundreds of taels of silver!

This time, the pearl also brought a gift prepared by himself to the Hou Mansion, and the big tree of the Hou Mansion must be relied on. In addition to the flowers given to the Hou Mansion, Pearl also took a sword in a sandalwood box given by Shopkeeper Liu and sent it over. This sword is also considered the best in the world. The gold-inlaid treasure is also one of the two swords exchanged for the shopkeeper Liu. Absolute baby. The third master of the Hou Mansion is at the border, and this sword is sent over, which can definitely please the old lady. I made a delicate dress for the old lady, embroidered a small interstitial screen, and didn't have enough time, so I was busy in the space, and finally caught up. The interstitial screen is embroidered on both sides with the portraits of the old lady's favorite three grandsons, the front is three people standing together and smiling head to head, and the quilt is a picture of the back of the three bad boys, you pinch me, I pinch you. Pearl was too familiar with them, and she was familiar with their temper.

Half a month later, I came back, Liu Hai deliberately went to the pearl's house to lie down, brought the reward of the Hou Mansion, I heard that the old lady valued the sword very much, and directly asked the third master to take it back, the old lady also liked the clothes, and the small interstitial screen was the most loved by the old lady. Even the eldest lady and the third lady like it very much. The three young masters also liked this embroidered statue, and they all felt that it was as clear and vivid as taking a Western mirror. Turning the interstitial screen, seeing the actions of the three people in front of the quilt, the old lady was even more happy. He said that he shouldn't have let the pearls go home. The sticky corn sent by bangs also made the old lady like it very much. In a letter to the old lady, Pearl explained in detail that she had grown corn and potatoes, and that the yields were amazing.

The old lady gave the corn to the palace, and she left fifty corn cobs, and soon, the reward from the palace came down, and the old lady was rewarded with four palace satins, a golden silk nanmu inlaid jewelry jade Ruyi, a pair of white jade paperweights and a set of emerald jewelry.

The old lady was very happy, this time she took a pair of official kiln porcelain vases, a pair of green jade teacups, and two pairs of official kiln colored porcelain teacups for pearls. The eldest lady gave a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets, a set of inlaid gold cleats and gold bracelets for the child, and the reason why she gave such a heavy gift was also related to the fact that a few months later, the Marquis of Yongchang came to buy corn and potatoes. The third lady also gave a famous calligraphy and painting, two boxes of emblem ink, a ivory carving ornament, and a jade lock piece because of the sword. The three young masters gave a lot of pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and put together a box. In addition to this, there are six rulers, six boxes of dim sum, four boxes of high-quality tea, and wine from the Four Altars Palace.

The palace satin rewarded by the palace also gave two pearls, one is the moon and white cloud pattern woven gold satin, and the other is the green lotus bottom peony peacock feather woven gold satin. Liu Hai also got in touch with the merchants in the capital, and will send flowers to the capital next time.

Liu Hai took so many things from Pearl's room, of course, he couldn't hide it from the people of the Ming family, but no one dared to ask for it, because Pearl was too busy, and it was given by the old lady of the Hou Mansion. With such a backstage, you have to think about what you want to do.

It stands to reason that they have also gained a lot of things, and the last time Qi Decheng gave them all the things and pearls, if they are not satisfied, they will be a little unbearable.

It's autumn, and it just so happens that Mingqian also has a seven-day vacation, but Pearl sent a few books and some food to the past, so that he doesn't come back, if the family is busy with the autumn harvest, he can hire someone, and it is too hard for him to come back once. And Pearl is also in good health now, and her home is also good.

When the wheat in Pearl's house was ripe, Pearl took out the money and asked the villagers to help harvest the wheat. Everyone seems to be very concerned about the yield of this field, and they are very energetic. When the wheat is all harvested and beaten. When the weighing began, most of the people in the village came to watch. When the wheat is ready, it will be weighed, good fellow, seventeen acres of land, three hundred catties more than others, and 8,000 potatoes! Corn harvested 3,200 catties! It's scary.

The whole village is boiling, everyone is inquiring about the potatoes and corn of the Ming family, and the old man of the Ming family and Ming Youshou have now become the most popular people in the village. The scenery is endless. When the villagers heard that the wheat and other seeds were bought from the big grain store in Zhuozhou, they were all boiling, although they did not have the ability to go to Zhuozhou to buy seeds. But the Ming family has it! It's the same to buy from the Ming family! So much grain is dried in the village's grain drying field, and the men of the Ming family take turns to guard these fields, for fear of being stolen. Pearl didn't say anything, anyway, the grain was given to them, in their words, this was the reward of Ming Qian's brother, only the land was his own, and the temporary loss of a few years' harvest was nothing, but it could only be a part of the loss.

People from both the village and the nearby villages want to come and buy the seeds. The pearl didn't care much, all let Ming Youshou and Ming He sell it, but the flour eaten at home was bought from outside, and the pearl didn't know how much money they sold, but when the seeds were sold, it must be a lot. Some potatoes and sweet potatoes were stored in the cellar, but how many were sold, which made Pearl feel a little depressed, she couldn't eat it at home, and she sold them all, and it was really not easy to improve the food of the Ming family!

The pearl Zhuangzi is also a bumper harvest, whether it is potatoes or sweet potatoes, the output is very amazing, even rice and wheat are more than other fields to harvest two percent. Pearl was happy, and gave each of the people in Zhuangzi an extra fifty catties of wheat and fifty catties of rice.

After that, the potatoes were ripe, and at this time, Yongchang Hou Zhang Daozhong also came with a group of subordinates, and after watching the pearl family dig the potatoes out of the field, he immediately let the people he brought weigh the potatoes. Zhang Daozhong was really shocked. On the Zhuangzi of Pearl, the chef specially cooked a lot of meals for Hou Ye with potatoes and sweet potatoes, and Zhang Daozhong was very happy to eat this meal. Wait for the head of the village to write down all the grain growth records since the beginning of spring planting, the methods of preventing pests and diseases, and preventing floods and droughts. Hou Daozhong is really happy, he is an idle position in the household department, if this time to donate these data to the data, it is definitely a great credit, the people on the Zhuangzi also said that potatoes and sweet potatoes can be put in the spring, it is even more happy.
