Lin Xiyun naturally had no opinion.

Since his mother drank a few sticks of decoction that Xu Yin brought back from the old imperial doctor in the county, she completely cured the confinement disease, not only did she no longer need to leave the decoction, but her body became healthier and healthier, and she respected her from the heart.

What's more, his family also has a field, and he is still the main force. For him, there are advantages and disadvantages to the busy farm holiday.

In competitions, there are rewards to be motivated.

Xu Yin took out a seed bag the size of a sachet, which contained several kinds of vegetable and fruit seeds that had never been seen locally: "These are the seeds of the Western Regions that I bought in Chunzhou Mansion, and the top three prize seeds in the literacy competition." The first place can choose 50 seeds at will, the second place will have 30 seeds, and the third place will have 10 seeds. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's desire to win and lose was aroused, and even Xu Sanqiu was eager to try.

Thinking of the melon seeds last time, the county magistrates all went to their plum blossom village to see, and drank a bowl of water at his house, if they can take the first and pick fifty seeds from the Western Regions back this time, maybe they can stay at the county magistrate to have a meal at his house. What an honor it is to eat at the same table with the prefectural magistrate, and to say it!

It's a pity that Comrade Xiao Jin, who has never forgotten it, how can he be left behind by others?

Xu Yin deliberately mispronounced a few words and gave the remaining two reward places to others.

The second place was unexpected, it turned out to be Sanya, and the third place was Cui Jikang.

The cubs who didn't win the award were obviously very disappointed, but the most lost was Xu Sanqiu.

In the past three days, when he went to the sand to serve the melon field, he didn't forget to pick up a branch and review the words on the sand, but he still lost to the hard-working Erya and Cui Jikang, who also had a good memory.

"Ahh I'm embarrassed! Xu Sanqiu drooped his shoulders and was frustrated, "I also told the eldest brother who was guarding the melon field that day, if I won the seed, I would give him a few seeds." Now he'll be sure to ask me, how do I answer? Ahhh ”

Xu Yin: "......"

How ignorant of your own strength are?

"Third brother, why don't I give you a few grains?" Sanya held the seed bag, so she didn't get entangled.

"Really? That's great! Xu Sanqiu was about to jump up happily, when the Chen County Order came.

He received a letter from the fourth prince the day before yesterday, in which he praised him in words and words, and said that capable people are among the people, so he must stabilize Cui Mengjin and his wife, and even respond to requests.

Although he didn't see at all that Cui Mengjin and his wife looked like capable people who were hidden in the city, according to his inquiry, these two people were born in Qinghe County, and their ancestors were farmers who worked in the fields for several generations, so it was impossible for them to be the descendants of the powerful people who migrated to this seclusion.

If you really want to say that there is any ability, it is probably that Xu's strength is amazing--he can pick up a stone mill that requires three or four middle-aged men to lift it with one hand, he can kick an adult wild boar with one foot, and he has a bit of unique insights into farming.

But it may also be because she is lazy, according to her mother-in-law Cui's evaluation of her, the new manure method she came up with, and the drive of ducks to the rice fields to weed, are all because of laziness.

This made Chen Xianling twitch the corners of his mouth, very speechless.

However, since the Four Princes said so, it can be seen that the suggestions mentioned in the letter he sent someone to send quickly last time made His Royal Highness the Four Princes praise His Majesty.

Chen Xianling couldn't help but feel happy for the four princes.

They are the doormen, naturally the master is good, they are good!

Stabilize Cui Mengjin and his wife, right? He didn't need to be reminded by the Four Princes, he would do the same.

After half a year of observation, he can see clearly: the couple has no ambitions, and they are as happy as if they are guarding the twenty acres of lotus pond.

As long as they are like now, they don't mess around, and let him and the magistrate respect them.

As soon as I read the letter written by the four princes, I heard the official who was on duty guarding the melon fields in Meihua Village come back to report, and only then did I know that Cui Mengjin and his wife had other seeds from the Western Regions in their hands, and they immediately rushed over from the county government.

I wanted to exchange directly with Cui Mengjin and let them not give out the seeds as prizes.

As a result, it was still a step too late to catch up, and the prizes were already in the hands of the top three.

"Ladies and gentlemen, can these seeds be handed over to this official? The official knows that this is the reward you have won in the literacy competition, so the official brought some pen, ink, paper and inkstones to exchange with you, okay? ”

“……”

It's not good, it's not good!

The other party is a prefectural magistrate! I didn't take it away directly, but exchanged pen, ink, paper and inkstone with them, which is really good!

Wait a minute! What to for?

Pen, ink, paper, inkstone?

The Four Treasures of the Study?

Oh, I'm a mother! The Four Treasures of the Study!

Of course it changed!

As a result, the prizes for the literacy contest were smoothly changed from seeds to the four treasures of the study!

Cui Mengjin sent a set of relatively high-end pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, while Xu Erya and Cui Jikang's were relatively inferior, but this did not prevent them from being happy.

This is not only a prize awarded by the county magistrate himself, but also the four treasures of the study that they don't have a chance to touch on weekdays!

Xu Yin was a little speechless.

She uses the seeds as a reward, firstly to motivate them to read a few more words, and secondly, to improve the big guy's dinner table.

At the end of the year, you can't eat meat a few times, and it's good to have a rich variety of vegetables and fruits.

Besides, everyone has it, and it won't look unusual for her to take it out and eat it.

But what does the county order want to do? Bring it back to study?

Chen Xianling clenched his fists to cover his lips and coughed lightly: "Your Majesty's birthday is approaching, and the official is distressed about what gift to offer, I heard that this is the seed of my great prayer from the Western Regions, since Your Majesty ascended the throne, it has been advocating agriculture as the foundation, and the official wants to borrow flowers to offer the Buddha to Your Majesty." ”

Xu Yin blurted out: "Give a gift to Your Majesty?" Is it most appropriate not to send a bucket of ginger mountain? ”

In many ancient texts, wouldn't the heroines who had anything to do with the royal family give the emperor a bucket of ginger mountain?

"Dominating the country? How is this sent? ”

“……”

Blame her for moving faster than her brain, will she believe the Hu County Order at this time?

Chen Xianling obviously didn't believe it, and even waited for her to explain with great interest.

Xu Yin had no choice but to find out the ginger at home and put it in a wooden barrel: "Look, a bucket of ginger mountain." ”

“……”

Chen Xianling was impressed by her brain hole.

But on second thought: what a brilliant idea!

It indicates that His Majesty will one day be able to recover the city of Beiguan and dominate the country!

He couldn't wait to go back to the county office to deliver a message to the four princes.

Xu Yin looked at his expression and knew that he was very satisfied with the standard gift of the goddess of the crossing, and took the opportunity to ask, "Then will you still take these seeds away?" In fact, the women don't know if they can grow or not. ”

"It's okay, the official will find someone to try the seed, and if it succeeds, I will present it to Your Majesty. Rest assured, this official remembers the merits of the two. ”

Xu Yin: "......"

Is my sister thinking about the merits?

My sister is thinking about the dishes on her own table!

However, when she looked at Comrade Xiao Jin, she cherished the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in his hand...... Forget it, take it away! Take it all!

Half of the remaining seeds in the seed bag were also distributed to the county order: "My lord, can these seeds be exchanged for another set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone?" ”

Keep it in the future to make her comrade Xiaojin happy.
