Orion's pretty daughter-in-law

Chapter 119

While cooking, Luo Jinxiu mentioned this matter to Mrs. Xu with emotion, Mrs. Xu agreed, but had different ideas at the same time.

"That's what I said, but that shopkeeper Lu didn't suffer any disadvantages. It was because he did something good that you later helped him save his daughter-in-law and grandson, didn't you?"

Luo Jinxiu thought about it, and it seemed to be the case. If shopkeeper Lu didn't accept their ingredients, she would not have thought of going to Baiweiju when shopkeeper Lu's daughter-in-law gave birth later when she wanted to make money selling recipes.

"I don't need to mention human feelings. Since you have a good relationship with that shopkeeper, as long as the person is of good character, you can continue to communicate according to ordinary human relationships." Xu said.

Luo Jinxiu nodded. At first, she just thought of this incident suddenly and felt emotional. Later, she sold the prescription directly to the shopkeeper Lu because of the harmonious relationship between the two parties. Please help me, and I will help you some other day. The normal and harmonious way of getting along between people is nothing more than this.

Like the Yun family's, tsk, it's a purely exotic fighter, so let's not mention it.

There are many kinds of ingredients collected in the mountains, but there are not too many tricks to make lunch. Most of the crucian carp and carp are used to make grilled fish, and only one is left to make fresh mushroom crucian carp soup, and the hare and pheasant are grilled. There are all kinds of, stewed, and spicy.

Let’s get some cold wild vegetables to relieve the tiredness, even if it’s all done!
Wash the picked wild fruits and hold them with clean big leaves. In this way, there are even fruits after meals.

In addition to the freshly prepared dishes, the pancakes and beef stew they brought with them should also be heated up.

When Yun Jinghao and the others came back, it happened that all the food had been prepared, and they could eat hot and ready-made food right away!

"Why did you come back so quickly?" Madam Yu was surprised, "Could it be that you have encountered some trouble?"

Yan Jingcheng's expression was a little subtle, "I didn't encounter any trouble, but Jing Hao seemed to have known where the medicinal materials my grandmother needed in the mountains, so I went directly to pick them and came back."

At first, he thought it would take a lot of time for them to find the right medicinal materials, but he and the other two guards did not contribute much. Jing Hao had already picked off a small basket of medicinal materials in twos and twos. The few plants in the pan are hundreds of years old medicinal materials that are rarely seen in the Duke's Mansion.

Mrs. Xu felt very strange when she heard it, so she asked her grandson what was going on with her eyes.

Yun Jinghao put the medicine basket behind his back on the ground, and said, "When I went hunting in the mountains, I occasionally went to the deep mountains. I found these medicines at that time, but I didn't take them off when I didn't need them."

Nanny Yu deliberately checked the medicinal materials in the medicine basket, and found that there were actually two ginseng plants that seemed to be a hundred years old, and one of them must be at least more than 300 years old!There is also a Ganoderma lucidum that is not too old. Although these rare medicinal materials are not out of reach of the Duke's Mansion, it is really a bargain to get such a good medicinal material in this deep mountain without spending a penny!

No matter how well it is artificially preserved, the medicinal properties will be lost to some extent, but the freshly picked ones are completely different from the ones that are still covered with soil.

In fact, it's more than that, after Luo Jinxiu nourishes it with supernatural powers, these herbs will only exert [-]% of their efficacy!
It's not that Mrs. Xu is unhappy to find good medicinal materials, but compared to these, she appreciates that her grandson is worthy of being the blood of their Duke's Mansion, and not simply letting the Yun family keep ordering him around without responding, without any heart.

At least, I never thought of letting the Yun family know about finding these valuable medicinal materials that could make hundreds of taels of silver if I sold them casually.

These are the descendants of their Duke's Mansion!
Mrs. Xu asked people to collect the medicinal materials in a good way, so as not to disappoint her grandson's wishes, she beckoned them to come over and have something to eat.

The group stayed in the mountains until the evening before leaving, and caught some wild game along the way for dinner.

In the next few days, Xu's interest in going up the mountain was not low. Every day, he went into the mountain for a walk, but he didn't go too deep like the first time. He just walked around the periphery. Sometimes it was just a walk. Sometimes the guards are asked to come back with some game. In short, the life is not too comfortable, but they have to make ends meet all day long, because the harvest in the fields will definitely decrease this year, and the villagers who try to subsidize their families in different ways are very envious.

But compared to the villagers, the most indignant and jealous people were those from the Yun family.

After Mammy Yu sent the 500 taels of silver brought by the Yun family to the charity house in the county, she did not deliberately hide the matter, but inadvertently disclosed the news to the people in the village to let them know that their country The government doesn't care about the 500 taels of silver.

Of course, this news also reached the ears of the Yun family.

The thought of giving the 500 taels of silver to a group of inexplicable people after scraping together a whole lot of debts made the people of the Yun family feel distressed, and secretly cursed Mrs. Xu, Yun Jinghao and others at home. , just afraid of being heard by the neighbors and passed into the compound, and scolding at home will tacitly lower the voice.

About ten days after Xu's group came to Shangxi Village, the compound welcomed a group of guests again, and they were still from the Duke's Mansion. In terms of seniority, Yun Jinghao and Luo Jinxiu should call him little uncle .

That's right, the person who came was none other than Xu's youngest son and Yan Junyue's younger brother, Yan Junze who worked in the Ministry of Industry.

For this unexpected visitor, even Mrs. Xu showed obvious surprise, obviously she didn't know about it.

"Why are you here too? Do you have some errands to do?" Besides, she couldn't imagine why her youngest son would come here suddenly. Officials in the capital can't leave the capital easily. There are a lot of busy affairs, and there are not many holidays, so I can't spare time to travel too far.

Her youngest son is also a person who is busy with business affairs. Usually, he often doesn't even go home and directly stays in the Ministry of Industry.

"There are some things to do." Yan Junze replied, and then looked at Yun Jinghao with nostalgia, "This is my sister's son, my nephew Jing Hao, he really looks like my sister."

"..." The corner of Luo Jinxiu's mouth twitched, her expression was very strange.

Obviously looks like you!

In appearance, Yan Junze is more similar than Yan Jingcheng and Yun Jinghao, perhaps because he really answered the phrase "nephew Xiaoshuo", this little uncle looks more like Yun Jinghao's father than Yun Deshun.

Yun Jinghao nodded slightly to him and called, "Little uncle."

There was a smile on Yan Junze's face, and he patted him on the shoulder with relief, "Okay, okay! I heard that you have been on the battlefield before, but you became the chief executive by yourself at a young age. It's amazing! If my sister knows you, I must be very proud to have such a capable son as you."

After complimenting Yun Jinghao, he looked at Luo Jinxiu again, and his eyes were full of admiration: "You are Jinghao's daughter-in-law, Luo Jinxiu, you were the one who came up with the kang and the new agricultural tools presented by Zhangzhi County. ?”

It's hard for Luo Jinxiu to say that these things borrowed from the wisdom of the predecessors are her own, so she can only vaguely say: "It's just that I have seen similar things in the past."

Yan Junze only thought of her as being modest, and didn't think too much about it, "It's been a bit dry in the north this year, and the waterwheel that you asked Zhang Zhi County to present was a great help!"

Speaking of which, whether it is Yun Jinghao or Xu Shi, they have already guessed the purpose of his trip, probably it is for the waterwheel!

Mrs. Xu has seen the huge round waterwheel standing by the river these days in the village, and knows how much this thing is for farmers who rely on crops for food, and how it will help the entire country to control drought. Impact.

It is definitely not the same as the modern Dujiangyan and other famous dams, but at least like this year's drought that is not so serious, as long as you get a few of these waterwheels in places with water sources, you don't have to worry about it every now and then. When the weather is bad, the imperial court has to spend a lot of money for disaster relief, and from time to time there are always troubles that corrupt officials swallow the money.

How much money can the treasury save!
Yan Junze came here in person on this trip. Firstly, the emperor sent him to test the function of the water wheel. Once it is confirmed that the news from below is true and that the water wheel is indeed useful, it is necessary to mass-produce this thing as soon as possible and spread it to the world. The area that often suffers from drought in the country!
Secondly, I also stopped by to visit the mother who questioned her grandson who wanted to visit her in person, as well as her nephew who had never met before, and finally, to convey the official letter of transfer to Zhangzhi County.

"Transfer?" Luo Jinxiu looked surprised: "Zhang Zhixian is going to be transferred? Is it downgraded or... promoted?" As soon as the words came out, it seemed a bit redundant.

Sure enough, Yan Junze said with a smile: "Naturally, it's a promotion. After all, I borrowed your credit and offered things that are of great benefit to the country over and over again. The emperor Longyan was very happy, so he was promoted to the magistrate of the same Yao's mansion." .”

"Zhizhou?" Luo Jinxiu was even more surprised. The magistrate is the seventh rank, but the Zhizhou is from the fifth rank. This is more than two consecutive victories!

Xu said: "It is thanks to you that Zhixian County has such good luck. If the emperor wants to reward, he should reward you."

Yan Junze said: "What mother said is that the emperor now knows that Jing Hao is his sister's son, even for the sake of our Duke's family, he will not take the credit for the two of them. It's just that a country Given the current status of the Duke's Palace, it might not be easy to decide what reward to give, before I left, the palace sent someone to tell my father that we will decide how to reward after Jing Hao enters Beijing sometime later."

There is no comparison between gold and silver things compared to their merits, but let's talk about official positions. Yun Jinghao was already the chief executive before, but he voluntarily disarmed and returned to his hometown to marry a wife. It seems that he has no pursuit of official positions. .

It is not easy to give power and money, but there is no expression and I am afraid that the Duke's Mansion will think too much, and His Majesty the Emperor is also embarrassed.

Yun Jinghao said: "I don't care about any credit, besides, those things are all thought of by my daughter-in-law. If the emperor really wants to reward me, I will listen to my daughter-in-law when my wife and I come to Beijing."

Xu Shi and Yan Junze were taken aback at the same time, then looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.
