Allure of a Country Maiden

As soon as Shen Chengzong entered the door, he said loudly: "The third brother is so happy! You are so rich!"

Shen Chengyao frowned after hearing this.

Mr. Shen excitedly grabbed Shen Chengyao's hand and asked, "Third brother, there is an imperial edict at home. What does the edict say?"

"I didn't understand it very well. It seems that because of the invention of the bobbin truck, cement and the cultivation of high-yielding rice, the emperor granted me the title of Marquis of Shengping and Xiaoer as the principal of Ruian County."

Mr. Shen felt happy after hearing this, and a smile appeared on his face. Although I am a bit dissatisfied that my granddaughter has also been granted the title of county head, it would be great if my grandson was granted the title. But he was still very happy.

They are the first people in the town who have the opportunity to receive the imperial edict!

Mr. Shen was just about to praise Shen Chengyao a few words, but when he looked up and saw the eldest son behind Shen Chengyao with a gloomy face and full of jealousy, he felt mixed emotions in his heart.

Guang'er has said since he was a child that he wanted to be a high official when he grew up, but he never thought about it... Mr. Shen sighed silently and shook his head, God's will plays tricks on people! The eldest son and grandson whom he devoted himself to cultivating have not yet become officials, but the son whom he never thought highly of has achieved such honor by farming!

It’s true that if you plant flowers intentionally, they won’t bloom, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will be shaded!

But it was the third child who was lucky. Even if many people planted their rice yields in the sky, they might not be able to let the emperor know about it. After all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away!

Even if someone takes the credit, you have no way to complain, and it’s not guaranteed that someone might get into trouble! But the third child met a noble man, a noble man! First, the recommendation post from Juxian Academy, and then such a big contribution, all for his uncle Zuotian Ting! Give him all the original credit!

How perfect it would be if the eldest son received such a great contribution!

The bad thing is that now that the families have been separated, this wealth only belongs to the three houses, otherwise... Mr. Shen sighed unconsciously, and no longer had the intention to praise.

Shen Chengyao was happy when he saw his father smiling. He thought he would be praised, but in the blink of an eye he looked at his eldest brother and sighed.

Shen Chengyao followed Mr. Shen's gaze and looked at his eldest brother. He looked a little happy, as if he owed him several hundred taels of silver. Shen Chengyao's heart skipped a beat, and his happiness dissipated a little.

"That's all what Lao San's imperial edict said? Is that the silver in the tray?" Shen Zhuang asked, looking at the tray covered with bright yellow satin on the desk.

"Oh, yes, the emperor also rewarded us with a hundred taels of gold, a marquis mansion, and a hundred acres of fertile land."

Mr. Shen Zhuang's eyes widened when he heard this. One hundred taels of gold! !

Hundreds of acres of fertile land! !

Others also stared at the tray with wide eyes, as if just by looking at it they could become their own!

Shen Chengzong happily patted Shen Chengyao on the shoulder, "Third brother, I have never been convinced by anyone in my life. Now I admire you. You are awesome. Others rely on their political achievements or military exploits to get promotions! You rely on farming We did it! As the third brother is a brother, we share the blessings and the hardships. When you become rich, don’t forget us brothers! Give us some of this money and fertile land no matter what, so that we can also share it with you. Feel the mighty grace of the Emperor!"

Everyone else's eyes glowed green after hearing this, and they all looked at Shen Chengyao eagerly!

"Our family does not dare to give away the things that the emperor has given to our family. Moreover, we must use the gifts that the emperor has given to our family as family heirlooms and pass them on to future generations from generation to generation! But don't worry, second uncle, the emperor has given our family a gift. When the food is harvested in the fertile fields, I will definitely send you some to taste it! It will make you feel the emperor’s grace. Grandma, grandpa, uncle, you all have it, and everyone has a chance to taste it." Xiaoer said with a smile.

"Lao San, you are wrong. Your family now has a lot of land, and you are not willing to share a little of it. It is difficult to gain weight by eating alone! You eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, but your brother and I are still eating bran-thick vegetables!" No matter how hard you score, be careful to overwhelm you! Shen Chengzong added in his mind.

"Second brother, if you don't know how to speak, don't speak!" Mr. Shen stopped Shen Chengzong's words.

Then he said to Shen Chengyao, "Third brother, a single tree can't make a forest. Broken bones are still connected between brothers. Dad doesn't ask you to share the things at home with your brothers. Now that you have the ability and ability, you should think about it." How do you want to help your brother? After all, the whole family is strong, so others will not dare to underestimate you. You should think of a way so that your brother can get an official position by farming or something like you. Part-time job, or maybe you can help your eldest brother get a job. Your eldest brother, after studying for so many years, is still a child..."

Shen Chengyao felt his head was pounding after hearing this. What kind of request is this? Isn't this request even more difficult to handle?

Donate an official position to your eldest brother? Although he is now a marquis, he has no real power.

And no matter how he figured out a way, he didn't get his title by himself, but by his daughter. This is his way!

Shen Chengyao couldn't control his anger anymore, so he said directly: "Dad, the only way for me is to give birth to a good daughter, then I will have everything! Money, houses, fields, titles, etc. are all brought to us by Xiao'er Home, bobbin trucks, cement, and high rice yields, these are all things Xiaoer came up with, I just contributed my efforts."

Xiaoer: Why does she think Shen Chengyao is evil?

Mr. Shen:...

"How is that possible!" Shen Chengguang didn't believe it.

"If my daughter hadn't come up with it, why do you think the emperor would give Feng Xiaoer the title of county head?" Mrs. Liu was also extremely angry at their increasingly unreasonable demands!

Most of the county heads are the daughters of princes who are eligible for the title! The appointment of Xiao'er as the head of the county shows that the emperor is wise and knows that Xiao'er's contribution is responsible for these things.

Mr. Shen was a little embarrassed. He also vaguely knew that these things were all Xiaoer's thoughts, but there would be fathers who would blame all the credit on their daughters. In that case, where would the father's face be? Shen Chengyao spoke so directly that he couldn't think of how to get his granddaughter to help his son.

The so-called first generation relatives, second representatives. After all, the granddaughter is a generation away. It doesn't make sense to ask a granddaughter who is only a few years old to help her uncle. Moreover, it was at my own request. If word spread, it would also ruin my reputation. Officials pay most attention to their reputation.

This is especially true for officials who rely on connections. I don’t know how many eyes are staring at you, waiting for the opportunity to pull you down so that your own people can take over.

The son can't, but as for the daughter, she has a biological brother Shengpinghou, so the marriage must be discussed! Thinking of this, Mr. Shen felt a little comforted.

He was still happy to ask Shen Chengyao to help his sister find a good match, and Mr. Shen knew this.

In fact, he knows many things in his mind, but... being a parent, alas! All ten fingers are long or short!

"Lao San, are you going to move to the Imperial Capital in the future?"

Today is the winter solstice, I wish everyone a happy winter solstice
