As the prince of the Great Xia Kingdom, Xia Nanyu usually had the best food and clothing, but the things he saw and ate today were things he had never seen before.

"If the prince likes these, he can come to our restaurant or teahouse. The food there is all new food developed by Qianqian."

Shen Yalan recommended to Xia Nanyu that if the Seventh Prince could go to a restaurant or teahouse, that would be the best sign.

Xia Nanyu nodded slightly and said, "Just send the invitation over when you open your business."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your honor!" Shen Yalan said with a smile.

Just at this time, Jialan came over with Hongling and the others.

"Yalan, you mentioned the Pin Shang Guild. I have a good item here. Take a look at it."

As Lu Qianqian spoke, she asked Jialan and the others to show what they had in their hands.

When she saw clearly what they were holding, Shen Yalan stood up excitedly and strode over.

Shen Yalan looked at the embroidery in front of her, her eyes filled with amazement.

Xia Nanyu raised his eyebrows. He had seen many embroidery works, but none of them were as stunning as the four in front of him.

"Ms. Lu, your embroidery is amazing." Ming Yu exclaimed.

Yeying and Qingfeng both widened their eyes in shock.

Shen Yalan admired these four embroidery pieces carefully. The stitches on the embroidery were very delicate, and the bright colors completely attracted her attention.

"These are plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. Plum blossoms can grow in harsh environments, showing their strong and unyielding spirit; orchids are elegant and noble; bamboos are indomitable and can stand the frost and rain; chrysanthemums are strong and brave, upright and unyielding, and have a sense of being a hermit in the world; so I named them the Four Gentlemen."

"The plum blossom symbolizes noble people; the orchid symbolizes wise men in the world; the bamboo symbolizes humble gentlemen; the chrysanthemum symbolizes hermits in seclusion;"

Xia Nanyu didn't expect Lu Qianqian to have such insight, and at the same time he was a little confused. A farm girl who knew nothing suddenly had the ability of a florist and was so knowledgeable.

From this point, it can be seen that there must be someone behind Lu Qianqian giving her guidance.

"County Lady Qingling, you are indeed knowledgeable. I wonder whether the plants you mentioned have been planted." Xia Nanyu knew about bamboo. The literati and scholars of the Great Xia Kingdom liked to use bamboo to show off their elegance.

But he had never heard of or seen the other three.

Lu Qianqian smiled and nodded, "Plum blossoms are planted in my backyard, but now is not the season for plum blossoms to bloom. When winter comes, Mr. Xia is welcome to come and see the plum blossoms."

"Okay, then I'll be sorry to bother County Master Qingling." Xia Nanyu didn't hesitate and agreed directly.

After spending more time with Lu Qianqian, Xia Nanyu became more curious about what other surprises she could bring him.

"I also grow orchids and chrysanthemums, but just like plum blossoms, there are many types of each flower plant, just like the camellia I grow, which can bloom flowers of various colors." Lu Qianqian continued to introduce.

The imperial edict had been issued, the tour had been completed, and the meal had been eaten, so Xia Nanyu stood up and said goodbye.

After Xia Nanyu and a group of people left, the villagers who were watching came over one after another.

"Qianqian, did the emperor really make you the county lord?"

"Of course it's fake. So many officers and soldiers came together, especially the leader. He looks good, but he looks too powerful."

"Qianqian, what good thing did the emperor give you? Let us see it!"

"Yes, that was a gift from the emperor, it must be valuable!"

"What do you want? Go away, go away quickly, Lu Yi and Lu Er, please see us out." When Mrs. Lu saw so many people running in, she started to ask Lu Yi and the others to drive them away.

"Mrs. Lu, why are you in such a hurry? It's such a happy event, let the whole village celebrate together." The person who spoke was the oldest person in Xinghua Village besides the old village chief, named Wang Baofang.

Some time ago, this old lady went to visit her eldest son in the county, so she had no idea what was happening in the village. She had just returned today and saw such a big commotion, which really shocked her.

Wang Baofang has always believed that she is the most blessed old lady in Xinghua Village. Her eldest son is an accountant in Qingshan County, and his monthly salary is several taels of silver. He married a girl from the county.

The second son is the manager of a restaurant in town, and his monthly salary is quite good.

He also had two daughters who also married well and both married into the county.

The four children are also filial to old lady Wang Baofang. Usually, the two sons take turns to live with her for a period of time. If the old lady feels bored, she will go back to live in the village.

The two daughters are the same. They will come back to see them whenever they have time, bringing some gifts.

But this time when she came back to show off her good life, she saw that Mrs. Lu was actually living better than her.

This made Wang Baofang feel uncomfortable. She was the only old lady in the village who lived a good life. How could she let others surpass her?

So when she saw Old Lady Lu driving people away, she wanted to see what good things the emperor could give Lu Qianqian. It wouldn’t be just an empty title, right?

There are millions of turtles and ten thousand year old tortoises, who doesn’t know who?

Old Lady Lu rolled her eyes at Wang Baofang and said, "That was a gift from the Emperor to my family. Can you just look at it whenever you want? If it's lost or damaged, does it belong to you?"

Wang Baofang's face turned red after being choked by Old Lady Lu. Finally, she snorted coldly, "It must be something worthless! That's why you don't dare to take it out and embarrass yourself."

Lu Qianqian stopped Mrs. Lu who was about to curse, and said to Wang Baofang with a smile: "Grandma Wang, the emperor rewarded me with 500 taels of silver. Silver is just like that, there is nothing to see. We have been busy for a long time today, and our family will not invite you. Let my father notify you to come for a drink later."

When they heard that Lu Qianqian was going to treat everyone to a dinner, those in the village who had eaten the warm-house meal at Lu Qianqian's house couldn't help but think of the delicious food that day.

"Then we'll just wait. I've known you since you were a child that you were blessed. Now look, even the emperor knows you."

"Yes, Qianqian was different when she was born. It was obvious that she was destined to be rich and powerful."

When there is something delicious, no one would mind saying a few good words.

As he spoke, he said goodbye. Wang Baofang saw that everyone had left and there was no way to cause trouble anymore, so he could only leave cursing.

Old Lady Lu glanced at her and said, "This old woman is just a short-sighted person. She can't stand others having a good life. You should stay away from her in the future."

"Mother, I know."

"Okay, you and Yalan go to your yard and talk. All those things are in your study. Remember to pack them up."

Shen Yalan hadn't left yet, and Old Mrs. Lu didn't hold her daughter back, letting her go and do her own thing.
