Chapter 196： The prefect comes to visit

Everyone is busy working.

Xie Yucheng was busy recruiting people to ask Jiang Ning to popularize wild yam knowledge, looking open-minded and eager to learn.

Jiang Ning had already prepared and brought up a plate of Ruyi Cake. "Everyone has eaten the Ruyi Cake made by my family. Many people want to know the recipe and try it themselves, but they can't make it. This is the reason."

Xie Yucheng suddenly asked, "Mrs. Muyi means that it is the ingredient of Ruyi Cake?"

Jiang Ning nodded slightly, "I also found it accidentally in the mountains. I don't know what it is called. My family was too poor at the time, so I was interested in anything that could hold my belly. That's why I came up with this trial.

After my own observation, this food can fill the stomach, but it is not suitable for eating every day. It can be eaten in exchange for taro and other grains. Also, some people’s hands will itch when they touch the mucus in it.”

Xie Yucheng wrote vigorously, wishing to write down every word Jiang Ning said.

By evening, all the yams were harvested.

Gao Yongzhen reported: "Sir, the yield of fertile land is about three tons per mu. According to Mrs. Muyi, part of it was planted last year and replanted this year, mixed together.

The newly reclaimed wasteland at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain has a yield of one and a half tons per mu. It was just planted this year. The yield of the other wasteland is one ton two per mu. After seeing it, the old farmers in the village said that fertile land has the best harvest, but wasteland can also be planted, which is really good. "

Xie Yucheng immediately asked Jiang Ning what he meant, and took away some of the wild yam and the Ruyi cake made by Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning knew that Xie Yucheng could take credit again this time. From taro, wild yam, and Pan Kang, his political achievements in the past two years were enough for him to be promoted to another two levels. It is estimated that the magistrate of Ping'an County will be replaced next year. .

Fortunately, she is now Mrs. Muyi, and with the addition of wild yam this time, she may still get some benefits. Even if Ping'an County changes to the county magistrate, it will not have a big impact on her.

Xie Yucheng was very fast, so he ordered people to work hard and divide the things into two parts. One part was sent to Fucheng, and the other part was sent to the capital.

Ji Wuya, the newly appointed magistrate of Quzhou, saw the visitor. He first learned about the situation and learned that it was related to Sheji and Mrs. Muyi. He immediately went through the things carefully, tasted the Ruyi cake, and went there in person that day. To Dongli Villa.

Every move of the prefect was watched by people. He mobilized troops and led a large group of people to Dongli Villa, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Even Zhong Bohan received the news.

Ji Wuya didn't care about so much. When he arrived at Dongli Villa and saw Youran Inn, he immediately praised it so much that Butler Zhu was stunned.

Ji Wuya visited Youran Inn all over before asking, "I heard that Second Young Master Yang is in Fucheng?"

Butler Zhu replied in surprise: "Sir, my second young master is indeed in Fucheng, but today he led people to build a house. I will ask someone to find the second young master."

"No, no! The second young master is busy with business, so don't bother me. I just came here to take a look today, and I asked the second young master to say hello to Mrs. Muyi on my behalf."

Ji Wuya walked around once he came over, drank a cup of tea, said a few words, and left!

Leave housekeeper Zhu and a group of two-foot-long monks scratching their heads.

Zhu San asked anxiously: "Steward, our second young master has been in Fucheng for so long and he still hasn't seen the prefect say anything. Is the sun rising from the west today?"

Butler Zhu frowned, "I don't know! The magistrate mentioned Madam. It seems that we have to ask Madam about this matter. You go find the Second Young Master."

As soon as Ji Wuya's people walked out, Zhou Hao of the Zhou family couldn't sit still and sent three waves of people one after another, one to Zhenbao Pavilion, one to Dongli Villa, and another to Quzhou Academy.

Zhong Bohan was giving Yang Santie an academic test, and the housekeeper brought the things in. Zhong Bohan frowned, "What's the matter?"

The housekeeper was sweating coldly, "Sir, Master Zhou of the Zhou Mansion sent two boxes of unique copies, one to you and one to Mr. Yang."

"This is out of season, and there are no other circumstances. Could it be that Young Master Zhou is crazy?" Zhong Bohan couldn't understand. The only copy was no better than the others. It could be treasured as an heirloom. Zhou Hao sent two boxes as a gift. Is it possible? The Zhou family is gone?

The housekeeper was trembling, "I don't even know. People from the Zhou family have been begging for it, and they also said that the master and Young Master Yang must accept it. I wonder if it has something to do with the prefect's personal visit to Dongli Villa?"

Zhong Bohan looked at Yang Santie, "Why did the magistrate come to your house?"

Yang Santie's eyes revealed clear sincerity, "I don't know, I swear! But I know why Zhou Hao gave me something."

He told Zhong Bohan what happened in Zhenbao Pavilion that day.

Zhong Bohan laughed angrily, "The eldest young master of the Zhou family actually dares to rob a girl in the street. He is very capable!"

Yang Santie comforted him: "Grandpa Zhong, don't be angry. My second brother and I had scared him away that day. He even gave a bag of silver to Sister Xu. He was probably frightened by the magistrate's actions, so he panicked." Who cares after giving away so many things, since the Zhou family wants to give it, we can keep it with peace of mind. My second brother and I don’t intend to pursue it anymore anyway.

Grandpa Zhong, that is a unique copy! There is no such store after passing this village! "

Zhong Bohan was amused. He was not a pedantic person. He asked the housekeeper to bring the things in, and the old man and the young began to "divide the spoils."

Xu Nuoyan in the Zhenbao Pavilion saw the small box presented respectfully by the shopkeeper and thought it was another valuable piece of jewelry that needed to be repaired. He was about to put it on for inspection.

But the shopkeeper said cautiously: "Miss Xu, this is the reward given to you by Master Zhou. He said that the emerald phoenix hairpin you repaired last time was very good. Mrs. Zhou was very happy."

Xu Nuoyan was dumbfounded, "Didn't he already give me a bag of silver? I don't need any more remuneration from him."

Why is it related to Young Master Zhou? Xu Nuoyan frowned subconsciously.

The shopkeeper immediately begged: "Miss Xu, just accept it! Master Zhou said that the phoenix hairpin is of great significance to Mrs. Zhou, and he just bought a lot of valuable jewelry outside, and he also covers all the jewelry you made. Yes, I have to pay you extra!”

"He hasn't given up yet!" Xu Nuoyan turned pale in horror.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, no, the people from the Zhou family respect you very much and wish they could take you as an aunt. How could Young Master Zhou still not give up? In fact, Young Master Zhou just wants to ask, you Can you forgive him for his unintentional offense last time?”

It took Xu Nuoyan a long time to digest what the shopkeeper said, and he was happy, "I don't care about it a long time ago. Besides, I'm already engaged, so I don't want to mention it!"

“That’s just right, this box is a congratulatory gift from Master Zhou to you and Master Yang!”

Looking at the attitude of the shopkeeper, she has no choice but to accept these things today.

Xu Nuoyan guessed that it had something to do with Yang Erdan, so he could only keep the things temporarily.

As soon as Yang Erdan returned to Zhuangzi, Butler Zhu told him about the arrival of the magistrate. At the same time, he presented to Yang Erdan the congratulatory gifts sent by wealthy families in the city, among which the Zhou family was the most prominent.
