Chapter 308
When Su Jinxiu hurried back to Xiaya Village, the village official Li Chunhe had already helped set up the incense table at Su's farm, and was waiting for her to come back.

"Jin Xiu, hurry up, Royal Envoy Long En arrives, and I will wait for you to come back and kneel to accept the imperial edict."

Su Jinxiu nodded, "Okay, Uncle Cunzheng, I'm going to wash up and come over after changing clothes."

As she was talking, she came over to make Wei Wei a blessing, and asked Li Cunzheng to receive her on her behalf, while she went to the upper room, washed up in a hurry, and changed into a set of soft light lotus color cross-neck skirts, Then they called Zhao Mei and Zhuo Ya as maids, sealed a big red envelope with a hundred taels of silver in it, and came out.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: Su's Jinxiu in Xiaya Village, Yong'an County, has a sensitive and intelligent nature, has both four virtues, is steadfast in his heart, a corner of Fuze, praised by relatives and neighbors, so Su's family is named Qingxiu County Lord of Yong'an County, There are three hundred food households and one hundred mu of land, here you go."

Let me go... This is the county head?
Su Jinxiu was a little confused.

I am an ordinary woman, but I was able to get His Majesty's insight, willing to be the county lord, and rewarded me?
"Jinxiu, I see you are happy. Hurry up, bow your head and thank you for accepting the order." The village official, Li Chunhe, is a person who often goes in and out of the town and the county government. He knows a lot. Seeing Su Jinxiu looking at the bright yellow The imperial decree was still in a daze, so he hurriedly urged.

At this moment, the farm was full of kneeling villagers who came to join in the fun, all of them were like Su Jinxiu, looking at Minghuang's imperial decree, that was called awe, and all of them looked solemn and respectful.

Su Jinxiu hurriedly kowtowed to thank her, then took the imperial decree and asked Su Linhai to carry it to the main hall to confess.

Su Linhai didn't expect that his cousin would let him hold the imperial decree, so his face turned red with excitement, his eyes were moist, and he kowtowed respectfully, then he took the imperial decree with both hands and walked towards the main hall.

Su Jinxiu stepped forward to thank the envoy, and quickly and quietly handed a purse to the eunuch who passed the decree.

The eunuch who passed the decree was not polite, and while taking the purse, he twisted it with his fingers, and the inside was light and light, which made him happy.

Well, this handsome county lord is indeed a person who does great things. This gift is so good, you can tell with your hands that it is not a piece of silver or something, but a bank note.

"Uncle Cunzheng, this servant has worked hard all the way, please help entertain me, I will prepare some bojiu and vegetarian dishes, and treat this father-in-law to eat and drink enough before he can hurry back to Beijing."

Li Cunzheng was naturally very happy, with a smile all over his face, he quickly agreed, and invited the eunuch who delivered the decree to the upper guest room of the farm to take a seat.

Because there is no shortage of any ingredients in the farm, it is not a problem for Su Jinxiu to cook a few dishes, and he also cooked fresh and tender corn, steamed minced meat with chili sauce, and half a pot of potatoes.

These few things are the most rare and commonplace in modern times, and they are even unreasonable to entertain guests, but in the ancient Ming Dynasty, they are definitely the most precious food.

Sure enough, the unique sticky, waxy and fragrant taste of potatoes, paired with minced meat chili sauce, immediately conquered the taste buds of the eunuch Chuanzhi.

"It's delicious, it's delicious...it's delicious." The eunuch who passed the decree was also an interesting person, while hissing and sticking out his tongue, he couldn't stop praising him while he was busy.

Some people say that the mouth of eating people is soft, but the hands of holding people are short. This eunuch, who is full of food and drink, did not forget to call Su Jinxiu a few words, "Our sage is wise and mighty, frugal and caring for the people, strives hard to govern, and makes good use of talents...

Hehe, County Lord Qingxiu's bread and butter are rare talents. If Your Majesty knows that County Lord Qingxiu can do so well, it must be Longyan's joy. "

Li Cunzheng and Su Jinxiu both had expressions of admiration on their faces, bowed their hands towards the southeast, and saluted three times.

Su Jinxiu said that as a woman, His Majesty Emperor Demeng valued favor so much, and he would definitely devote his life to cultivating more and better crops for His Majesty in the countryside, and doing his best to benefit one side.

The eunuch who passed the decree was very happy to see that Su Jinxiu was so upright, and his errands were handled so cleanly and beautifully, which not only brought glory to his face, but also couldn't hide a smile.

The next day, Su Jinxiu cooked another twelve dishes, which was regarded as a farewell wine for the eunuch who passed the decree.

After the decree eunuch had eaten and drank and left, Su Jinxiu returned to the village where he lived, and discussed with Li Chunhe and others about the establishment of a county head.

The building of the County Lord's Mansion was stipulated by the law of the Great Ming Dynasty. Therefore, if Su Jinxiu was modest and frugal and did not build this County Lord's Mansion, he would be contemptuous of the emperor's gift and committed a crime of disrespect.

Li Cunzheng is more eager and active than anyone else in building the county lord's mansion. He immediately told Su Jinxiu, "Qingxiu county lord, the construction of the county lord's mansion must be discussed with the county government and the town government. What is the specification? , how to make the law, and when to hand over the work, these are all said."

Su Jinxiu saw that Li Cunzheng was cautious and talking to herself in a discussing tone, and suddenly she was a little speechless.

It seems that since I was promoted to the title of county lord, the attitudes of the villagers, including Li Cunzheng, have also changed a lot.

And the construction of the county lord's mansion is indeed not a simple matter. It must have certain rules that must not be surpassed, otherwise someone with a heart will seize the opportunity and be impeached.

"This matter... If the Qingxiu county lord can trust me, I will do my best." Li Cunzheng volunteered.

Su Jinxiu was amused and a little uncomfortable, "Uncle Cunzheng, you better stop calling each handsome county magistrate, I... am not used to it." Li Chunhe straightened his face and said, "How can this work? County magistrate It's the county head, how can he not be honored by the court?

County Lord Qingxiu, let me tell you this, there are rules in the Tao, and the court has the laws of the court. You must not be too casual just because you are a former woman in our village. "

Su Jinxiu was so trained that he was speechless, so he had no choice but to promise him to act in accordance with the rules and regulations, not too casually.

Li Cunzheng said, "Master Qingxiu doesn't want to put on airs and show off, but some people are like this. If you give her a good face, she will treat you as a soft persimmon. Therefore, everything is done according to the regulations, and no one dares to say no." Come on."

At this moment, Su Jinxiu deeply felt that having such an elder who cared so much for her was indeed equivalent to having a protective armor, allowing her to do what she wanted to do with confidence and boldness.

In this way, for the construction of the county lord's mansion, Li Cunzheng went to discuss with the county magistrate Sima Rui and the mayor of the town government's yamen, who would supervise, who would make arrangements, who would choose the site and materials, etc...

Su Jinxiu didn't need to worry about all matters.

However, she didn't worry about family affairs, but because she became the county head, she attracted harassment from those so-called relatives and friends.

People like Su Mei, Mrs. Yang Si and others came to the door one after another.

To Su Jinxiu's surprise, it was Yang Huai'en's daughter-in-law Kou Wenjuan who came to her first.
