After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

Chapter 170 I Don't Care
Su Xiaomu has already made a decision, and now this field will be turned into an experimental field.

If all goes well, she will be able to harvest her first potatoes before winter.

It will be October in a few days. If Su Xiaomu remembers correctly, Uncle Liang came to her two days ago and told her that after everyone finished spraying the insecticide, they would start harvesting millet one after another.

After all, we are all afraid of the locust plague this year. It is better to reduce production now than to be eaten by locusts.

Su Xiaomu also agrees with their decision. She knows exactly how effective the insecticide she researched is.

Therefore, insecticides can effectively kill locusts, but after all, the weeds will not be burned out, and the spring breeze will regenerate. It is not clear where there will be a comeback that has not been killed.

So these days, Zhumeng Xiaozhu has also reduced the number of guests she entertains each day, so that the villagers who work in her have enough time to go back to the autumn harvest.

Of course, another reason why everyone is so motivated is that they have more or less heard in the past few days that other surrounding places have begun to be attacked by locusts.

Although there were not many locusts, they lost a lot of money and food because they did not prepare in advance. It was also heard that in the county closest to the east, someone was bitten to death by locusts.

As for Su Xiaomu, after hearing the news that someone had died, he couldn't help being very shocked.

But what she can do alone is limited, and it was already very difficult to protect the people in Fucheng at that time.

It can only be said that the other people around her had no chance with her, probably because of their fate.

Therefore, Su Xiaomu with this idea, when the villagers came to give her gifts to thank her one after another, she didn't refuse any of them, and accepted all their gifts calmly.

It's a normal thing to come and go.

Of course, compared to the villagers who gave gifts, Su Xiaomu was somewhat happier when he saw Gu Jingcheng.

"I see that you are indeed busy these days, and you have lost a lot of weight. It seems...these days, Aunt Zhao should make you more chicken soup for you. It won't be long before winter. If you don't post more Fat, how can I survive the winter?"

When Su Xiaomu said this, he was eating fresh melons and fruits in early autumn leisurely.

Pears, grapes and pomegranates, she likes them all, and she can't put them down, she can't wait to fill her mouth with them.

Gu Jingcheng was seated opposite her. He stretched out his slender fingers to pick up a grape and fed it to his mouth. A relaxed smile appeared on his tired face due to Sunday's exhaustion: "You have plumped up a lot."

"I'm an anxious fat."

Su Xiaomu coughed lightly, signaling him not to dwell on the topic too much.

"We haven't seen each other for more than ten days. Don't say that I really miss you. You haven't told me what you did after killing insects? I heard from Master Wan that since I went there last time After looking for you, you never went to his house to study again."

Su Xiaomu wasn't very worried about Gu Jingcheng's study.

She knew very well that he was a gifted and knowledgeable person, so asking this question was just out of curiosity, what would make him do it even if he didn't study?
"It's a tricky thing."

Gu Jingcheng guessed that she would ask himself these things, but he didn't expect her to ask so early.

He pondered: "Fucheng and the villages around Fucheng, because of your reminder, no one suffered any disasters, nor did they lose any money, but other surrounding areas are different, and you must have heard of it these days. "

"Someone died, bitten to death by locusts."

When Su Xiaomu mentioned something related to human life, he immediately became serious: "This matter... Does the capital know?"

"Well, that's what I'm going to tell you next."

Gu Jingcheng sighed: "Because our side suffered relatively few disasters, the county magistrate has made a lot of achievements in this matter. He is afraid that he will be promoted. According to reliable sources, the promotion order issued by the above is probably within a few days. arrive."

"how about you?"

Su Xiaomu wanted to know if Gu Jingcheng had benefited from running for the county magistrate for so long?
Gu Jingcheng worked so hard for him these days, it's impossible to become a free labor force in the end, right?
"It can be regarded as a little bit. The county magistrate said that he would write me a recommendation letter to the capital. If everything goes well, this matter will add a lot of favor to the emperor before the imperial examination."

Gu Jingcheng couldn't help being a little tired when he talked about this, he stretched out his fingers to gently touch his temples, his handsome face was full of exhaustion, and he said with a wry smile a few times.

"Before this time, when it came to the people's livelihood, I only thought about my many experiences, and I read articles about victories in ancient times, but after I really experienced it once, I realized how difficult the lives of the people are. , how heavy the word people's livelihood is."

"You don't have to put so much pressure on yourself. The life of the people is good or bad, and it has nothing to do with you now. You are still one of the mortal beings. There is no need to put heavy shackles on yourself so early. Wait. One day you will truly live at the height of the temple and have the opportunity to change the fate of all beings, and then you will reflect on whether you are not doing well enough and whether your eyes are not far enough."

Su Xiaomu reached out and patted his shoulder, and smiled to smooth his frowning for him: "Okay, let's think about what we're going to eat today, I'll tell the chef in the clubhouse later that she doesn't use it for cooking, I'll make it for you, tell me what you want to eat."

"Your credit..." Gu Jingcheng didn't reply to Su Xiaomu about eating, but turned his eyes away, a little afraid to look at her.

"These things can be resolved so properly, all relying on your credit, although the magistrate said before that your name will not be missed, but the report is anonymous, so everyone... I'm afraid it will be difficult to know why you their contribution."

The benefits that Gu Jingcheng can get are already in front of him.

He followed Wu Shu around these days, and the matter of the locust plague had already been cleared in front of the people. Although the memorial sent by the magistrate of the county, although he did not explicitly mention that it was him, it only vaguely mentioned that there was a student who helped.

But right now, it seems that there is no difference with Ming said.

This time, only Su Xiaomu did not leave a name for his real contributions.

"I don't care. I don't care if you can let everyone know that it is related to me."

Su Xiaomu never thought of creating an image of a good person for herself.

In addition, she didn't want to be famous, and she didn't want to be the target of public criticism.

Just want to make money in obscurity.

So if her credit can help Gu Jingcheng in the end, that would be the best.

Su Xiaomu has always understood what she really wanted.

"Let's eat, don't talk about this matter after it's over, and to me, it doesn't matter who gets the benefit, the important thing is that someone gets the benefit."
