Everyone in the village also got the news. When Lin Daqiang and his wife helped Lin Youwang and his wife come over, the courtyard of Lin Xiaoman's house was already crowded with people, some of them had already climbed onto the courtyard wall, and they all wanted to see for themselves what it was like to read the imperial decree. of.

Lin Xiaoman came out of the house in a fine attire, and heard the sound of breathing in and out of the courtyard.

It took a long time before someone whispered, "My God, is this Xiaoman? She looks like a fairy in the sky."

"That's right, I just said who it looks like, but I just can't remember. Isn't this exactly the same as the fairy on the New Year pictures sold in the city?"

"It's clothes that make a man depend on clothes, and clothes that make a Buddha depend on gold. Xiao Man is already good-looking, but wearing this dress, she is more beautiful than the most beautiful girl I have ever seen."

Hearing other people's compliments, Lin Erhu came back one step earlier, had already bathed and changed in another room, and Lin Erhu, who had changed into a light blue brocade robe, was delighted, and raised his chin proudly, "That's my sister, of course she looks good. gone."

Amidst the chatter of the crowd, the Eunuch Fang who was talking to Lu Jin before came forward with a scroll of imperial edict and smiled, "Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu, members of the Lin clan in Hedong Village, Qingping County, Wuzhou Prefecture, received the edict."

Before Lin Xiaoman came out, she had already been taught by Nanny Jin how to receive the order, and Lin Erhu obviously learned it too. Lin Xiaoman knelt on the futon in front of the incense table, and Lin Erhu prostrated on the ground half behind her.

The people who were still watching also knelt down under Lu Jin's signal. A few of them were riding on the wall. After learning that they were going to kneel too, they jumped down anxiously, and two others fell down.

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

Seeing that everyone was kneeling down, Eunuch Fang read out the imperial decree aloud: Blessed by the heavens, the emperor, the imperial decree said: There is a daughter Xiaoman from the Lin family in Hedong village, who is extremely intelligent, gentle and honest, and cares about the people. A thousand mu, a thousand taels of silver, and two boxes of jewelry.Thank you!"

1000 taels of silver and two boxes of jewels are worth a lot. If it was before last year, if they heard that Lin Xiaoman's family had received these rewards, the villagers would be so envious that their eyes would turn red.

But after planting new vegetables and grains with Lin Xiaoman's family for a year, the least income in the village was 200 taels, and someone like Lin Dajiao who opened up a large piece of barren land would earn 2000 taels no matter what. You're too stingy to give such a small reward?

But no one dared to say this, but after looking at each other, they were not very happy for Lin Xiaoman and his brother.

Lin Xiaoman hadn't thought about how much gold, silver and jewels the emperor would reward. In the past year, she herself had earned a lot, so she really didn't care much about such rewards.

I just thought that Lu Jin said before that the emperor might give her a fiefdom, so she can plant whatever she wants.Obviously not this time, it is inevitable to be a little disappointed.

But it is better to have a reward than no reward. The value of this reward is not how much it is rewarded, but that a family can receive a reward from the imperial decree once in a lifetime, which is enough to honor the ancestors.

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu kowtowed to thank them, and just about to get up after receiving the order, their father-in-law said with a smile: "Wait a minute, there are more!"

The siblings knelt back again, and Eunuch Fang took out an imperial decree from the tray handed over by the person next to him, and read it out: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the decree says... to plant new high-yield grain potatoes and sweet potatoes, so that the people do not have to suffer anymore." The suffering of hunger will benefit the world, and I will be named the owner of Yongfu Township, with a thousand acres of Changliang farmland, and a yearly salary of five hundred stones, I admire this."

After Lin Xiaoman thanked him, he was about to get up, but he was stopped by Eunuch Fang again, "Don't worry, the owner of Yongfu, there are more."

Lin Xiaoman looked at the tray brought up again, and saw that there was only one imperial decree left on it this time. Could it be the imperial decree rewarding her for growing corn?
But the corn hasn't been broken off the stalk yet, isn't it too early for the imperial decree?Does the emperor really believe in Lu Jin's words?The new food has not been delivered, and the reward came first?
Sure enough, the content of the imperial decree this time was to reward Lin Xiaoman for the corn he planted.

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

This time, the emperor's reward was even heavier, and he directly made Lin Xiaoman the head of Qingping County, and [-]% of Qingping County's future tax revenue would be used as Lin Xiaoman's salary.

All the unowned wasteland in Qingping County can be assigned to Lin Xiaoman to cultivate new species. If there are new crops and vegetable seeds, they can also be planted in Qingping County. Crops can be promoted nationwide.

The corn harvested this year should be brought by Fang Gonggong and Nanny Jin when she returns to Beijing. The emperor wants to promote the new crop to the whole country.

In addition, his younger brother Lin Weizhen, who was young and intelligent, was already a scholar at the age of ten.

Lin Erhu was stunned for a long time, but he forgot to thank him. When he knelt down, he didn't expect that there was something about him, but the emperor directly named him Xiaolian?

Xiaolian, that's equivalent to juren, you can directly go to Beijing to take the Chunwei exam.This made him, a scholar who passed the examination based on his ability, really happy and regretful.

In case he goes directly to the capital to participate in Chunwei, will others say that he didn't pass the exam based on his ability?
Oh, what a sweet obsession.

After the imperial decree was read, Lin Xiaoman became the head of Qingping County, and Lin Erhu became Lin Xiaolian. Not to mention their village, even Qingping County couldn't find a second one. This is a great honor.

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

Lin Xiaoman packed a big purse for each of her father-in-law and Nanny Jin, but both of them looked at Lu Jin who was at the side, and seeing him nodding, they happily accepted the purse.

Lin Xiaoman noticed this detail, and was puzzled again, what is Lu Jin's identity?Why does everyone in the palace have to look at his face?

Why can't this be a royal relative?
Lin Xiaoman was sitting in the courtyard with Eunuch Fang and Nanny Jin talking. Her status today is extraordinary, so naturally she can't cook by herself.

So, Lin Daqiang called his younger sister Lin Dajiao, who had been studying behind Lin Xiaoman for more than half a year, and was much better than the villagers in both farming and cooking, to come over to take charge of the cooking.

There are a total of eight dishes, each in a pot.

When serving the table, Lin Xiaoman invited Eunuch Fang and Nanny Jin to sit down, but they stood obediently by the table and did not dare to move until Lu Jin pulled Lin Xiaoman to sit on the table.The two of them 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 it's because there are so many people."

Lin Xiaoman was helpless, she was afraid that they would be dissatisfied, so she prepared this table for them alone, but in the end it was only her and Lu Jin.

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

Lin Xiaoman wanted to change back to the clothes he usually wore, but was stopped by Lu Jin, "It's so beautiful, let's wear it for a while, I'll give you whatever you want to eat."

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

Lin Xiaoman looked at the pork knuckle again, there was half a pork knuckle in the bowl...
