At the beginning, the little koi carp was grabbed by a wolf and became the favorite of the beasts.

Father Zheng opened the box, slowly took out the bright yellow imperial edict, and said, "This is the imperial edict. Quickly kowtow and thank the emperor for his grace."

He looked at Boss Zheng and the others solemnly.

Several people kowtowed three times in obedience.

Especially Boss Zheng, in order to show his sincerity, he drank loudly.

When he raised his head, his forehead was already red and swollen, looking extremely conspicuous.

Father Zheng nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, everyone, get up!"

Boss Zheng and the others stood up and when they saw the bright yellow color, they all took a few steps forward to get a better look.

"Dad, isn't this imperial edict made of gold?" Zheng Laoer asked.

Look at the bright color, it was so bright that he didn't dare to open his eyes.

"Yes, the color is really like gold."

Li Yun and Wan Niang were huddled together, both with curious expressions on their faces.

"Probably not?"

Father Zheng turned his questioning eyes to Lin Zhizhou.

It was also the first time for him to see an imperial edict, so how could he understand this.

"Of course not, the imperial edict is made of fine silk." Lin Zhizhou explained.

"Silk, no wonder it looks so slippery. Dad, please touch it for me." Boss Zheng said with a playful smile.

The others also nodded, looking at Father Zheng with the same expression.

Looking at so many pairs of eyes, Father Zheng couldn't bear to be stingy. He stretched out his edict and said, "Touch gently, don't damage it."

"Don't worry, it's safe."

Boss Zheng rubbed his hand on his body a few times before he dared to touch it cautiously.

"Is this silk? It's so comfortable to touch. If this were made into clothes, it would be so comfortable."

As he spoke, a picture appeared in Boss Zheng's mind: Jin Bao was wearing a small dress made of silk, rolling happily on the bed.

"As beautiful as you think, how can there be so much silk to make clothes? I'm afraid only the nobles in the capital can afford to wear these things."

Father Zheng rolled his eyes at him, feeling that he was a little whimsical.

"Wouldn't that be expensive?"

Zheng Laosan asked, looking at the shining imperial edict.

"There are many types of cloth made of silk. I'm not very proficient in this aspect. Silk is generally more expensive and scarce in quantity." Lin Zhizhou said.

Silk was generally used by people in the palace, and some powerful ministers would also use silk to make clothes, but he didn't pay much attention to this.

"This thing is so slippery, I don't feel comfortable wearing it."

Mei Hua touched the imperial edict and compared it with the cotton shirt she was wearing. She still preferred the soft one to the slippery one.

For people like them who work all day long, if they really wear silk clothes, they will not be worn out after a few times, but coarse clothes and linen are more convenient.

"It's not suitable for outerwear. It should be quite comfortable for inner wear. When the opportunity comes, I'll give our Jin Bao two inner clothes to wear." Li Yun said with a smile.

When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she nodded. It was a good idea. Their brocade was so tender that it could squeeze out water, so it was just right to wear it.

"Okay, I've looked at it, touched it, and done whatever I was supposed to do."

When Father Zheng saw them fussing around, he rolled up the imperial edict in distress and carefully put it back into the box.

Boss Zheng and the others curled their lips when they saw his strange look, and kept muttering in their hearts: You must be stingy.

Looking at the black box, Lin Zhizhou suddenly remembered that there were still things in his carriage that he had not brought over.

So he stood up and prepared to walk outside.

"Zhizhou, why are you going?"

Seeing his anxious look, Father Zheng asked.

"I'm going to get something from the carriage and I'll be back soon. I have something very important to ask you later." After that, he strode out.

Zhou and the others nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"Boss and Second Brother, you guys take the plaque to the back room. It's too unsafe to leave it here." Father Zheng ordered.

There are many children, and if they are placed in such a conspicuous place, if they bump into each other, wouldn't it be contempt of the imperial power? This is not a child's play, and you must be careful.

Boss Zheng muttered reluctantly: "Don't we all hang up the plaques? Why are we still hiding them?"

Before he could go far, Father Zheng happened to hear clearly.

He turned around and reprimanded: "You know nothing. In our small mountain village, hanging a plaque given by the emperor will attract thieves' attention. Besides, who can you hang it up to see?"

"Also, this is a gift from the emperor. Do you really think that what your uncle said just now was to scare you? If you really damage a sacred object and someone finds it and uses it to make trouble, you are not asking for trouble."

After saying that, Father Zheng glared at him.

Mr. Zheng thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense. He walked up to the plaque and carried it into the back room with Mr. Zheng.

As soon as the plaque was placed, Lin Zhizhou walked in holding a box.

"This is?"

Zhou looked at him and frowned slightly.

"That's what I want to ask. Let them go ahead and let me talk to you two alone." Lin Zhizhou said with a serious face.

Father Zheng and Mrs. Zhou looked at each other and waved their hands, indicating that they all should retreat.

When Boss Zheng and others saw that they had a business discussion, they consciously led the children out.

Seeing that there were only three of them in the room, Lin Zhizhou put the box on the table and slowly opened it.

A large ginseng tree lies quietly inside. At first glance, it really looks like a fat baby.

"Zhizhou, why did you bring this out?"

"Does it look familiar to you?" Lin Zhizhou asked.

Mrs. Zhou shook her head and said, "We have never seen such a big ginseng, and the one we keep at home doesn't seem to be that big either."

"It's not that big, it's a bit smaller." Father Zheng confirmed.

"You mean, your family only has one ginseng tree?"

Lin Zhizhou looked at them in disbelief.

"It's really just one tree. There's nothing to hide." Father Zheng said nonchalantly.

"Then do you know who gave this to me?"

Lin Zhizhou's expression was a little complicated. He originally thought that the Zheng family had too much ginseng to give away, so he gave it away. It seemed that was not the case.

Father Zheng looked at it for a moment and said, "Such a big ginseng should be a reward from His Majesty, right?"

Doctor Wang said that their ginseng tree is very rare, and this one looks bigger. It should only be owned by the emperor.

Lin Zhizhou shook his head, sat down and took a sip of tea to suppress the shock in his heart.

Then he said slowly: "Do you still remember that Jinbao gave me a bag when I left last time?"

Zhou's body suddenly froze, as if she thought of something.

She and Father Zheng looked at each other with shock on their faces.

Seeing the two of them acting uninformed, Lin Zhizhou continued: "Originally, I thought that your ginseng was a big radish, and it was just two top-quality ginseng. I didn't expect that you were also kept in the dark."

It seems that this matter was really Jin Bao's idea.
