Splendid pastoral, the doctor girl is a little sweet

Chapter 47
The eunuch read out the imperial decree, which was a bit wordy, but she still understood it.

It means that this year, Jinxia Prefecture has made great contributions in harvesting rice for the royal family, handing over the tribute rice as soon as possible, and raising food and grass for the soldiers of the imperial army.

And Mr. Gu, who improved the production tools for the villagers, should be commended even more.

Therefore, the Holy Majesty specially asked them to bring some rouge rice as a reward to Mrs. Gu.To encourage the villagers to learn more from Gu's how to work, so as to save time, worry and effort.After the soldiers drove away the thieves from the Lou Kingdom, the Holy Majesty would definitely let the prefects and others from other prefectures come to Jinxia Prefecture to visit and study.

Under the gaze of everyone, Gu Yingying raised her chin, stepped forward step by step, and took the bag of rouge rice that the eunuch asked her to bring to her.

Although I know that the weight of this bag of rice will not exceed thirty catties.But this bag of rice is extremely precious to me.

Because it is a reward from the emperor.

After saluting and thanking them, Gu Yingying followed Fan's family and moved the melons and fruits prepared by the villagers for the soldiers of the Imperial Army to the boat.

Since the leading imperial guards refused to give more, Gu Yingying and the others only brought two baskets of oranges and two baskets of water chestnuts to the boat, and covered them with straw before disembarking.

Standing on the shore, Gu Yingying saw her father and second brother moving rice with Xu Tai and the others. She wanted to go to help, but she couldn't.

Xu Tai said before that the rice is too heavy, so it is better to leave it to the men in the village to carry it.As for the melons and fruits, you can ask Fan to take them to help move them up.

Even if they stood on the shore and watched the soldiers of the imperial army weighing rice, no one dared to chat.

When Gu Yingying waited for her father and second brother to return, she took a few steps back consciously so that her father and the others could stand in front.In this way, the villagers consciously stood in two teams, watching the soldiers of the Forbidden Army leave in merchant ships.

On the way home, Gu Yingying heard some women's discussions.

Both the Zhou family and the Fan family are saying that this year, whether they go to the royal rice fields to harvest rice or harvest millet for the villagers, they are all thanks to the help of Gu Xiaoya.If Gu Xiaoya hadn't found someone to manufacture advanced production tools, it would take a lot of time for them to harvest them in the old way.

"That's right, turn around a few times, the plump millet is on one side, the shriveled millet is on one side, and the withered grass is on the other side." Feng Mei, who was on the side, also sighed after hearing this:
"Isn't it more time-saving and easier than using a dustpan to separate them?"

"It's true, we all benefited from Gu Xiaoyaer's favor, and we all saved trouble by following her." Even Qian Shi, who lived next to Gu's family, said the same.

When it comes to advanced production tools, Jia's can't help shouting:
"You only know that the Gu family has windmills, but you forgot that our Luo family also has them? Our family has donated so many windmills to the villagers, why does no one remember us well?"

They all said that they were honored by the members of the Gu family, but no one said that the Luo family also paid a lot.

Jia Shi must be thinking about these things.

After Gu Yingying heard Jia Shi's words, she really wanted to go up to that shrew and say: Your family?But save it.Who doesn't know, with regard to harvesting millet this year, the people in your family didn't do much to help the villagers.

All I know is that it is extremely reluctant to come to Gu's family to do work, but it is quite positive to come to eat.Fortunately, Lao Li was acting fairly and asked Jia's in-laws to give some rice.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that Jia's and the others can come to Gu's house to eat like this, and they can also go to other people's houses to eat like this.After more than a month, their family did not have to burn their own firewood or eat their own food.

"Your family's windmill has not been used by us, what are you arguing with us?" A woman gave Jia Shi a displeased look and said.

Jia snorted coldly and asked the woman:
"I didn't lend you my family's windmill. But the Gu family's harvester is so bad, didn't I let you use it for a few days? If they can lend it to you this year, what about next year, the year after, or even a few years later? Can you guarantee that people will lend it to you every year? But we are different, our family’s windmill is donated to the villagers.”

"It's also donated to folks in other villages, it's none of my business." The woman became impatient.

In front of everyone, Jia imitated Gu Yingying's tone when she rejected her and didn't lend her anything, and said to the woman:

"I bought the money for the windmill, but I saved the money for the jewelry. In order to make the windmill, I did not know how many miles I ran and wore out a few pairs of shoes before I got it done. How could it be so easy? Lend it to you?"

As soon as these words came out, the woman only replied Jia's two words:
"boring."

But Dong Shi and Niu Shi all turned their attention to Gu Yingying.

Even though Jia Shi was talking about that woman just now, everyone could tell that she was trying to settle accounts with this little girl Gu, how could she be indifferent?
"Hey, I seem to have heard someone say it, Gu Xiaoya said it herself, she hates our Luo family, and she doesn't want to lend us a windmill." When Dong said this, she reached out and patted on purpose. Niu's shoulder is to remind the other party:
She has to help her own sister-in-law, Jia Shi.

Otherwise, when she goes back, life will be even more difficult.

When Niu thought about it, it had been more than a month since he hadn't eaten the pastries given by Gu Xiaoya, and he hadn't drank the brown sugar water cooked by Gu Xiaoya.Thinking about how he treated her well after all, I still can't bear to say anything about her.So pretend not to understand.

Seeing that Niu didn't help, Mrs. Dong deliberately asked Mrs. Jia:

"I heard that father-in-law said when he read out the imperial edict that he would send prefects from other state capitals to study here."

Having said that, he deliberately turned his head to look at Gu Yingying, and continued:

"At that time, Gu Xiaoyaer can go to the Lanjiang River to build a shed to sell food, and use the treasure that Mr. Zhao gave her to pack ginger soup, and give it to the magistrates to taste. Not only can I earn money, but I can also gain a good reputation. .”

This is exactly what he said, asking Mr. Jia to donate a windmill, so that his reputation will spread far and wide.

Gu Yingying knew it well, and immediately replied to Mrs. Dong:
"I have long been famous all over the world. How about I can get the rouge rice given by the emperor? You said building a shed to sell food is a good way to make money, but it is not enough after all. What I think is to write a book and say, Write a book on how to use advanced production tools and donate it to the folks who need to learn."

After only knowing the words for a few days, you just want to write a book?Dong Shi let out a mocking laugh, "Hahahaha", and said to Gu Yingying:
"I hope your book really introduces production tools, not how to hook up talented people."

This time, apart from Jia Shi and Feng Shi, no one else laughed at Gu Yingying.

On the contrary, Fan, who was closer to Dong, looked at the woman with cold eyes. Even if he didn't speak, the woman was too scared to say anything more.

　Thanks for reading and have a great weekend everyone!
