After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Yan Qingqing hurriedly stepped forward to help them up one by one and said: "Oh, uncles, what are you doing? You are all my elders. You are trying to break me."

Li Kaishan saw that Yan Qingqing was still kind to them even though he was granted a fifth-grade imperial edict. He was happy in his heart, but he said: "You are a person appointed by the emperor, and you still have a title. This gift cannot be revoked, so naturally we have to do it." Come to meet people.

Besides, not everyone has the honor to enter Ming Zhaoren's mansion.

Just let us worship, otherwise we will not feel at ease. "

Hearing this, Yan Qingqing had no choice but to say: "Well, I will accept the gift this time. Even if everyone has paid their respects, you must not do this when we meet again in the future."

Li Kaishan and others naturally agreed, and Yan Qingqing had to stand aside and accept their great gift.

After they paid their respects, Yan Qingqing asked them to sit down respectively, and then served tea to Ruyi and Ruxue.

Li Kaishan was the first to speak: "You are the pride of our village. With this status, we are no longer afraid of those noble ladies making things difficult for us."

Li Kaishan stayed in bed for two days to avoid Mrs. Shen.

Yan Qingqing laughed when he heard this and said: "Actually, Mrs. Shen's matter is the trouble I caused for everyone.

Back then, because my embroidery shop cooperated with Jinsheng Pavilion and blocked Chen Ji's financial path, they instigated Tietou to poison our chickens and ducks.

Later it was revealed that Chenji was closed. I thought that was the end of the matter.

Unexpectedly, when I went to Fucheng, I met the second lady of the Chen family and had some conflicts with her.

The eldest and second young ladies of the Chen family are both Shen Tongzhi's concubines.

I don’t know what Mrs. Shen was thinking, so she came excitedly to find a place for the two concubines.

So it affects everyone. I have to say sorry to everyone. "

Li Kaishan quickly waved his hand and said: "What are you talking about? How can I blame you? Some people are evil-minded and are used to being domineering and blessing.

We are all a family. If anyone blames you for this, I will be the first one not to spare him. "

Several other respectable old people also agreed.

Yan Qingqing smiled and said: "I have kept in mind the protective feelings of all uncles. Since we are a family, please don't call me a person anymore. It sounds strange.

You can still call me Qingqing or Xiang Pingniang as before. "

Li Kaishan and others naturally agreed quickly after hearing this.

One of them even said jokingly: "Oh, Xiang Ping can't yell anymore anymore. He is now an eighth-grade official."

After saying this, several people laughed again.

The next few people naturally said some auspicious words.

Finally, Li Kaishan rubbed his hands and said, "Qingqing, I have an unkind request and I don't know if you can agree to it."

Yan Qingqing glanced at him and said: "Uncle Village Chief, if you have anything you can tell me, if you can do it, I will definitely do it."

Li Kaishan then said: "Uncle, I want to enshrine your imperial decree in the ancestral hall for two days, one day is fine.

I just want to comfort the spirits of the ancestors below and let them know that their descendants have a bright future.

Can you see it? "

Yan Qingqing thought for a while and replied: "It's not impossible, it's just that this imperial edict represents the emperor, and there must be no loss, otherwise we won't be able to afford it."

Li Kaishan repeatedly promised: "Don't worry about this, I know.

When the ancestral hall is opened, I will send people to guard it day and night. There will be absolutely no loss at all. "

Yan Qingqing nodded when he heard this and said: "The people in the palace are still here. Let's wait until they leave. The village chief will start to deal with this matter."

As long as Yan Qingqing agrees to Li Kaishan, he will naturally not care whether it is early or late.

After Li Kaishan finished speaking, someone asked whether Yan Qingqing and Li Xiangping, both of whom had been appointed officials, should set up a few tables to make everyone happy.

In fact, Yan Qingqing also had this plan, but now that there are many things at home and people in the palace are still there, even if she wants to invite everyone to dinner, she has to wait until Eunuch Xiang and the others leave.

People in Canghe Village don't care when Yan Qingqing holds a banquet. Anyway, as long as it's done, they can brag when they go out. After all, they were the ones who had eaten at the banquet that Mingzhao had set out for them.

After saying these things, Yan Qingqing remembered that there was still something serious to say.

Then he said again: "Do you know why the emperor gave me a royal decree? It's because of the potatoes and sweet potatoes we grow, because the high yield can solve the food and clothing problem of our people in Dayan.

Naturally, I dare not disobey those emperors in my family who want to be transported back to the capital.

But you all grew it with your own hard work. I have already agreed with Magistrate Ling that the county government will buy it at five cents per catty. You should prepare it when you go back. The county government should send someone in two days. Come and transport. "

Everyone was naturally overjoyed when they heard this, especially Li Kaishan. He cultivated four acres of land. Calculating the yield per mu as three thousand jins, one acre of land was worth 15 taels of silver. So four acres of land was 60 taels. .

Li Kaishan gasped at this calculation. His family was considered wealthy in the village, but he could not save ten taels of silver in a year. Now he suddenly had an income of 60 taels. He felt like he was dreaming.

Not only Li Kaishan but also others had the same reaction. Because of their trust in Yan Qingqing, their family planted more or less, some planted one or two acres, and some planted half an acre.

Naturally, those who sow more will feel happy, while those who sow less will express regret in their hearts.

If they had known how much money they could make, they would have planted sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes even if they pulled out the wheat.

But it's too late to regret now. They wonder if there will be more points in the next season and whether they can catch up.

Yan Qingqing seemed to have noticed what others were thinking, and said with a smile: "This is the first batch of sweet potatoes and potatoes, and they are to be saved for seeds.

In the future, they may be planted as ordinary high-yielding crops. Once popularized, the price will only be cheaper than ordinary grain. "

Everyone was a little disappointed when they heard this, but at least they caught up this year. After all, you can't be too greedy.

After seeing them off, Yan Qingqing had a chance to rest.

There was no idle moment at the end of the day, and Yan Qingqing was also very tired.

But then he remembered that he hadn't gone to see Li Xiniang yet, so he steeled himself and went to her courtyard.

Li Xinniang's condition was still very good. She was in a daze when Yan Qingqing went there.

After seeing Yan Qingqing, she quickly stood up and called her mother. Yan Qingqing pulled her to sit down and asked, "How are you? Are you scared?"

Li Xinniang shook her head and replied: "Except for choking on two mouthfuls of water when I first fell into the water, nothing else happened.

Thanks to Mu Xi's timely action. Otherwise, my daughter will be ruined by that bastard Yuan Huicong.

You said how could such a good sister-in-law have such a bastard brother? "

Yan Qingqing was completely relieved when she saw that Li Xinniang was only angry and not frightened.
