The people in the village also got the news that when Lin Daqiang and his wife helped Lin Youwang and his wife over, Lin Xiaoman's courtyard was already full of people, and some people had already climbed to the courtyard wall, and they all wanted to see with their own eyes what it was like when they read the holy decree.

Lin Xiaoman came out of the house wearing a fancy suit, and heard the sound of inhalation one after another inside and outside the courtyard.

After a long time, someone whispered, "Oh my God, is this Xiaoman?" Like a fairy in the sky. ”

"Yes, yes, I just said who it looks like, I just can't remember, isn't this exactly the same as the fairy on the New Year's picture sold in the city?"

"This is a person who relies on clothes, Buddha relies on gold clothes, Xiaoman is already good-looking, and when he wears this again, he is more beautiful than the most beautiful girl I have ever seen."

Listening to the compliments of others, Lin Erhu, who had already bathed and changed clothes in another room, and changed into a light blue brocade robe, blossomed, and raised his chin proudly, "That's my sister, of course it's good-looking." ”

In the midst of everyone's gossip, the father-in-law Fang, who had spoken to Lu Jin before, stepped forward with a smile holding a scroll of holy decrees, "People from the Lin clan in Hedong Village, Qingping County, Wuzhou Prefecture, Lin Xiaoman, Lin Erhu took the order. ”

Lin Xiaoman had been taught by Mama Jin how to receive orders before he came out, obviously Lin Erhu had also learned, Lin Xiaoman knelt on the futon in front of the incense case, and Lin Erhu was crawling on the ground half of her body than her.

The people who were still watching also knelt down under Lu Jin's signal, and a few of them were riding on the wall, and after learning that they were also kneeling, they jumped down in a hurry, and two of them fell.

But even if it hurts, no one dares to shout out about the pain at this time.

Seeing that everyone knelt down, Fang's father-in-law read out the holy decree loudly: Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: The Lin family in Hedong Village has a female Xiaoman, who is intelligent, gentle and kind, cares about the people, grows new vegetables such as tomatoes and peppers, and appreciates thousands of acres of fertile land, a thousand taels of silver, and two boxes of jewelry. Chin!"

One thousand taels of silver, two boxes of jewelry are worth a lot of money, if before last year, when they heard that Lin Xiaoman's family had received these rewards, the people in the village would have been so envious that their eyes would be red.

But after planting new vegetables and new grains with Lin Xiaoman's family for a year, the least earned in the village has to be one or two hundred taels, and a person like Lin Dajiao who has opened a large area of barren land has to earn one or two thousand taels, and he actually thinks that the emperor is too stingy to give such a little reward?

But no one dared to say this, but after looking at each other, they didn't make much fun for Lin Xiaoman's sister and brother.

Lin Xiaoman didn't think that the emperor would reward many gold, silver and jewelry, and in the past year, she herself has earned a lot, and she really doesn't care much about this reward.

It's just that I thought that Lu Jin said before that the emperor might give her a fief, and she could plant whatever she wanted. Obviously, not this time, it is inevitable that there will be some disappointment.

But it is better to have a reward than nothing, and the value of this reward is not how much is rewarded, but whose family can receive a holy decree reward once in a lifetime, which is enough to glorify the ancestors.

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu kowtowed to thank him, and were just about to get up after receiving the order, when he heard his father-in-law laugh again: "Wait, there is more!" ”

The sisters and brothers knelt back again, and Father-in-law Fang took out a holy decree from the tray handed over by the person next to him, and read it out: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says...... Grow high-yield new grain potatoes and sweet potatoes, so that the people no longer have to suffer from hunger, for the benefit of the world, named the owner of Yongfu Township, Chang Liang Tian 1,000 acres, 500 stones, Qin this. ”

After Lin Xiaoman thanked him, he was just about to get up, but who wanted to be stopped by Father-in-law Fang again, "Yongfu Township Lord, don't worry, there is more." ”

Lin Xiaoman looked at the tray that came up again, and saw that there was only one scroll of holy decrees left on it this time, could it be the holy decree that rewarded her for planting corn?

But the corn has not yet been broken off the stalks, is it too early for the decree to come? Could it be that the emperor believes Lu Jin's words like this? The new grain has not arrived, and the reward has come down first?

Sure enough, the content of the holy decree this time was to reward Lin Xiaoman for the corn he planted.

Not only did he boast about the high yield and edibility of corn, but he also expressed the hope that corn could be planted all over the country in a few years, so that the people would no longer have to worry about filling their stomachs.

This time, the emperor's reward was heavier, and he directly named Lin Xiaoman as the lord of Qingping County, and one percent of Qingping County's future taxes will be used as Lin Xiaoman's money.

The land in Qingping County is allocated to Lin Xiaoman to cultivate new seeds, if there are new grain and vegetable seeds, they can also be planted in Qingping County, the imperial court does not interfere with Lin Xiaoman's decision, as long as the crops suitable for planting in various places are planted, they can be promoted throughout the country.

The corn harvested this year was brought by Fang's father-in-law, Mama Jin, when she returned to Beijing, and the emperor wanted to promote the new grain varieties to the whole country.

In addition, his younger brother Lin Weizhen, young and intelligent, was already a talented person at the age of ten, and was loyal to filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and was elected as filial piety......

Lin Erhu was stunned for a long time, and forgot to thank him, and when he knelt down, he didn't expect that there was something about him here, but the emperor directly named him filial piety?

Filial piety, that is equivalent to lifting people, and you can directly enter Beijing to take the Spring Exam. This made him, a talent who was admitted to the examination with his ability, really happy, but also a little regretful.

If he goes directly to the capital to participate in the Spring Festival, will others say that he was not admitted by ability?

Alas, this is really a sweet haunt.

After the holy decree was read, Lin Xiaoman became the lord of Qingping County, and Lin Erhu became Lin Xiaolian, not to mention their village, even the entire Qingping County could not find a second one, which was a great honor.

Lin Youwang and Lin Daqiang were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths, and immediately ordered to kill pigs and sheep to celebrate.

Lin Xiaoman wrapped a big purse for his father-in-law and Mama Jin, but the two looked at Lu Jin on the side together, and when they saw him nodding, they happily accepted the purse.

Lin Xiaoman noticed this detail and wondered again, what is Lu Jin's identity? Why do people from the palace have to look at his face?

How could this not be a relative of the emperor?

Lin Xiaoman accompanied Father-in-law Fang and Mama Jin to sit in the courtyard and talk, her identity today is extraordinary, so naturally she can't cook by herself.

So, Lin Daqiang called his sister Lin Dajiao, who had studied behind Lin Xiaoman for more than half a year, and was much better than the people in the same village in both farming and cooking.

There are a total of eight dishes, each of which is served in pots.

When it was brought to the table, Lin Xiaoman invited Father-in-law Fang and Mama Jin to take a seat, but the two stood obediently at the table and did not dare to move until Lu Jin pulled Lin Xiaoman to sit on the table. The two ran to the table where Lin Daqiang was sitting.

Lin Xiaoman asked Lu Jin, "Why don't they sit at this table?" ”

Lu Jin smiled, "Maybe there are a lot of people." ”

Lin Xiaoman was helpless, she was also afraid that the two would be dissatisfied, so she prepared this table for the two of them alone, who knew that in the end, only she and Lu Jin were left.

However, this gorgeous dress is really tiring to wear, the sleeves are wide, and it is not convenient to eat.

Lin Xiaoman had the heart to change back into the clothes he usually wore, but was stopped by Lu Jin, "It's weird and good-looking, wear it for a while, what do you want to eat, I'll clip it to you." ”

Lin Xiaoman looked at the plate of braised fish, and Lu Jin's chopsticks immediately went towards the belly of the fish.

Lin Xiaoman looked at the pork knuckle again, and there was half an extra elbow skin in the bowl......
