Chapter 161 A Rich Reward(1/2)

The matchmaker cleaned all the rooms, and everyone went back to their rooms and fell asleep.

When they woke up, it was already noon the next day.

Leng Yingchun was the first to come out. When she saw that the matchmaker had prepared a lot of food, she felt hungry and respectfully shouted, "Aunt Hong!"

The matchmaker raised her head with a smile, "Yingchun, you were too tired last night and went to bed early, so we didn't talk much. Today, my husband-in-law asked me to buy groceries a long time ago, and I didn't know you

What do you want to eat, but you guys haven’t gotten up yet, so I just bought some. I hope you don’t mind.”

"Why would you mind? On the contrary, we came uninvited and disturbed you, so you don't mind." Leng Yingchun said modestly.

"What are you talking about? Get them up quickly, wash their faces and come out to eat. I have already told my husband that you will have to go to the county government office later. It seems that there is something important to discuss." The matchmaker ordered.

What else could happen? The government must pay her the price of the grain she purchased.

She was very happy when she thought that she had sold a lot of money yesterday, even though she didn't know the approximate amount.

"Wow, what kind of big holiday is today? There are so many delicious foods!"

Xiang Min ran out and saw the table full of meat dishes, her eyes were as big as a bell.

"Can you be more reserved?" Qin Xiaoxiao reminded.

Xiang Min saw the matchmaker's eyes widening and smiled, "I'm sorry, I don't know much about etiquette and I'm embarrassed in front of you."

If Aunt Su was here, she would definitely scold her bloody. Suddenly, she felt that life was quite leisurely without her mother by her side.

"Just treat this place like home, what kind of false etiquette are you talking about?" The matchmaker doesn't like polite people.

"Master, Madam, you are so kind!" Xiang Min laughed.

"Why are you still standing there? Sit down and eat quickly, otherwise it won't taste good if it gets cold!" the matchmaker urged.

Everyone sat down slowly, picked up their bowls and chopsticks, and started eating.

Of course it was a full meal.

They looked at the leftovers on the table and went to the county government office in embarrassment.

"Master, what do you want from us?" Leng Yingchun patted the master on the shoulder. Seeing his solemn look, he asked in a low voice, "You won't tell me that you want to steal my food money, right?"

.

If this was really the case, she would immediately cry in protest.

"Haha, when I see you all showing pain one by one, why does my voice sound so happy?" Master jumped up.

He was about to hug Leng Yingchun, but suddenly felt that it was inappropriate, so he grabbed Leng Yinghuan's shoulder and turned to look at Leng Yingchun.

"The emperor's condition improved and he was very happy to learn that we were going to transport a large amount of rice to various places in the Da Yu Kingdom. He wrote an edict of commendation and sent a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, which directly raised your official status to another level.

, and as a result, I have an extra one or two silver dollars in salary every month.”

"Hey, I just told you that as long as you help us farm the fields seriously, there will definitely be benefits!" Leng Yingchun was also very happy.

"Yingchun, it's fine now. Our Lucheng is well-known in the Dayu Kingdom. Many businessmen will definitely come to us for development, and many people will come for sightseeing. It will definitely bring us some income.

When the money is handed over to the treasury, the emperor will die of joy. We will also get other benefits."

The master became more and more excited as he thought about it, so much so that he accidentally stepped on the water that was poured out when he was drinking water and almost fell down.

"When you get promoted and get rich, you have to be more cautious. Don't be impatient and lose your identity!" Leng Yingchun patted the master on the shoulder, "Where is the food money? You have to give it to me, right?"

"Just wait, I'll go find the master!" The master went to the county magistrate to get the money, and the magistrate asked him to pick out some jewelry to give to the three girls outside.

The master selected six pieces of jewelry in one breath and went out.

Leng Yingchun, Qin Xiaoxiao and Xiang Min each received a piece of jewelry.

"The remaining three pieces are for Qingqing.

, Aunt Su and Xiangdi's!" Master handed the jewelry in his hand to Leng Yingchun.

"Okay, thank you, Master!" Leng Yingchun admired Master's tact.

"Some of these banknotes were obtained from the grain merchant yesterday. We don't charge a penny for them. We will give them all to you!" The master then handed the banknotes to Leng Yingchun.

"Yingchun, look how many there are!" Qin Xiaoxiao asked anxiously.

Leng Yingchun was embarrassed to count, so the master opened his two fingers and said, "Twenty thousand taels of silver notes!"

"Why so many?" Leng Yingchun was surprised. According to her speculation, selling two would be great.

"Of course they were given by others!" Master took out two letters from the small box, "One is from the capital, and one is from other cities. They are both for the Spring Festival."

"Look who it is!" Qin Xiaoxiao was curious, why no one wrote to her? Is she not attractive enough?

Leng Yingchun opened the letter from the capital. It was written by Qin Lanqing, saying that the medicine sent by Su Jingxian was very effective. After the emperor took it, he felt much better and could gradually eat. After taking it for two days, he was completely healed.

Well, I can walk as freely as before, and I got to know my beloved concubine that night.

The emperor was so happy that he praised Su Zhengliang mercilessly and gave him a lot of gold and silver jewelry. Su Zhengliang thought of Lucheng's good deeds and took 30,000 taels of silver notes to the Lucheng government.

After discussing with her superiors, the county magistrate decided to give half of the reward to Leng Yingchun so that she could continue farming actively.

"What kind of official is Uncle Qin? He can give so much money, so he must have great power?" Qin Xiaoxiao was very confused.

Xiang Min didn't feel anything at all. She was very happy just looking at her jewelry.

"Ignore him, as long as we make money!" Leng Yingchun smiled and put away the other letter. As soon as she looked at the notes, she knew it was Su Jingxian's handwriting.

Since it is her personal letter, how can it be shown to others?

"Yingchun, you haven't read that letter yet. Who wrote it and what did it say?" Qin Xiaoxiao broke the casserole and asked.

"It's nothing, just a friend!" Leng Yingchun vaguely said, "Master, if nothing happens, we will go back."

"Work hard, we will plant rice seedlings in a few days." Master agreed.

"Yingchun, we have made money again, shouldn't we buy something to treat ourselves?" Qin Xiaoxiao asked carefully, she just wanted to eat something delicious.

"Here you go, buy whatever you want." Leng Yingchun gave Qin Xiaoxiao and Xiang Min a piece of silver.

They took it unceremoniously and ran to their favorite street to buy the corresponding things.

"Huanhuan, what do you want to buy?" Leng Yingchun asked.

Leng Yinghuan thought for a while, touched her head and pointed shyly in front of her, "Buy some pork, pig in the water, I want to eat braised pork and roasted fat sausage."

"Okay!" Leng Yingchun readily agreed and went to the pork stall.

When the store saw them, he took out the prepared pig meat and said, "It's very fresh, half for sale and half for free!"

"They're all taken!" Leng Yingchun held back domineeringly, "Give me that piece of pork again."

"Okay!" The store owner was so happy that he packed it quickly and asked Leng Yinghuan to carry it.

Just when Leng Yingchun was paying, the money bag in his hand was snatched away.

"There is a thief, where can I run!" Leng Yingchun stood up instinctively, kicked off her feet and flew up.

She stepped on a common man's shoulder, jumped over and kicked the thief, knocking him to the ground and throwing the money bag out.

She picked up the money bag, but before she could say anything, the thief ran away very fast.

"Yingchun, you just..." Leng Yinghuan was frightened, "Why are your martial arts skills so high?"

Only then did Leng Yingchun realize that the behavior just now was so smooth and smooth, even she was surprised.

"My little master must have given you some inner strength to boost your strength." Leng Yinghuan guessed.

"It does matter!" Leng Yingchun was still confused at this moment. This was what Yan Zipiao said about taking the shortcut. If she practiced martial arts according to the normal process, it might take her a few more years to achieve the results she has now.

However, breaking her legs was so painful that she shuddered just thinking about it.

"Congratulations, you have broken through yourself so quickly. If you practice for a while, you will be comparable to me."

Leng Yinghuan felt sour, why did it take so long to practice martial arts on her own?

He can no longer be idle and should study harder.

"Let's work together and make progress together. Let's go. Xiaoxiao and Xiang Min will probably go crazy." Leng Yingchun said softly, which made Leng Yinghuan feel quite comfortable.

They returned to their original positions. Qin Xiaoxiao and Xiang Min each carried a small basket of food, which they liked, and also held candied haws in their hands.

"Yingchun, try this candied haws on a stick, it's quite good." Qin Xiaoxiao handed the candied haws to Leng Yingchun's mouth.

Leng Yingchun gave Mianzi a special taste, and it tasted better than anything she had tasted before. "Xiaoxiao, you bought the right thing this time."

"Sister Yingchun, I'm pretty good at buying food. Try this mung bean cake. The mung beans are quite good, and there's no cutting corners at all." Xiang Min gave Leng Yingchun the mung bean cake not to be outdone.

Leng Yingchun took the mung beans and pondered, the mung bean smoothie in her memory was waving to her again.

She beamed with joy, put the mung bean cake in her mouth, clapped her hands, "Just wait for me, I'll buy something."

"Yingchun, where are you going?" Qin Xiaoxiao asked anxiously.

"You guys wait for me right where you are!" After Leng Yingchun said that, she went to a small vendor selling beans at the corner. "Auntie, give me your soybeans, mung beans and red beans."

The aunt expressionlessly pushed three baskets of leguminous crops to her, "One hundred taels of silver!"

"What?" Leng Yingchun thought she heard wrongly, "Excuse me, could you say it again?"

"Little girl, all the crops have been precious this year. If someone in the family had not been sick and needed treatment, I would not have sold these bean seeds." The aunt said decadently.
