The peasant widow is famous all over the world

Chapter 286

After Yan Zhongqiu left, Lu Zheng excitedly carried the wooden box containing the imperial edict to the main room and placed it on the shrine for worship.

Tang Mian and Li opened the box and sorted out the contents.

"Mian Niang, there are so many jewelry and silks that our family can't use up. What do you think we should do with them?" Mrs. Li happily touched the silks and satins in the box and couldn't put them down.

More than ten pieces of materials, totaling more than twenty pieces of hairpins, earrings, bracelets, and necklaces.

This was the first time she had touched such a slippery material, it felt so good! This is the first time I see so many jewelry, so beautiful!
Tang Mian smiled and said softly: "Mom, you choose what you like first, make two outfits for you and dad, and then choose some matching jewelry."

When Mrs. Li heard this, a look of confusion appeared on her face, "These jewelry and clothes made of materials, I'm afraid they are not suitable for us to wear, right?"

I really like it, but they are from the countryside and don’t have the chance to wear it!
"Mom, it's okay. You can put your clothes and jewelry away and just take them out and wear them when the occasion comes." Tang Mian reassured.

Li nodded hesitantly, "Okay. Then put these things away first, and I will choose carefully."

To her, these things were too expensive and she always felt that none of them were suitable.

It's better to put it there first, ask the old man's opinion later, and then pick it slowly.

"Okay." Tang Mian didn't say anything more and put things into her room with Li and Feixing.

It's definitely not suitable to put these things in the utility room, and there is no separate warehouse to store them, so they can only be placed in her room first, with Feixing guarding them so that thieves will not miss them.

After putting the things away, Tang Mian took out another hundred taels of silver and handed it to Mrs. Li, "Mom, the expenses at home will be more and more in the future. You can take this hundred taels first, and then..."

Before Tang Mian finished speaking, Mrs. Li refused and said, "Mother, you still have the money, so there is no need to give it to me. Just keep it and keep it. The two children will have a lot of money to use in the future."

"Mom, don't worry about the money. This time I went to the mountains to collect herbs and earned more than one hundred taels. In addition, the emperor also rewarded three thousand taels of silver and twenty acres of land. I have deposited all the money into the bank, and we will use the land as a reward. Plant well and your family will not be short of money.”

Not to mention three thousand taels of silver, the twenty acres of land, once planted, will earn a lot of income every year.

Li's eyes lit up and her breathing quickened. She held Tang Mian's hand tightly and said excitedly: "There are still three thousand taels of silver and twenty acres of land. Oh my God! Silver...land."

When talking about the latter part, Li was a little incoherent and didn't know what to say to express her excitement.

Feeling the pain coming from his hand, Tang Mian just smiled and nodded. He did not push Li away, but comforted him: "Mom, you don't have to worry about running out of money at home in the future."

"So, just keep these one hundred taels."

"Okay, okay, okay, take it, take it." Li nodded casually, her face full of joy.

After taking the ten silver ingots, Li smiled and put them in her arms and went back to the house to hide them. "Old lady, what did the emperor reward you? I think you almost burst out laughing." Lu Zheng, who had paid the imperial edict, returned to the room and saw that Mrs. Li was so happy that there was only a slit left in her eyes. He guessed that there must be something in the box. nice one.

Mrs. Li chuckled and pulled Lu Zheng to explain to him quietly. Soon, Lu Zheng's startled voice sounded in the room.

Tang Mian, who walked into the yard, shook his head and chuckled when he heard the voice, thinking about where to choose the best twenty acres of land.

After thinking about it, I decided to ask my father and mother later.

Before she could ask, Lu Zheng, with a smile on his face, walked towards her with brisk steps, "Mian Niang, have you decided where to choose the twenty acres of land?"

"No, I was just about to ask you and your mother." Tang Mian shook his head.

Lu Zheng said cheerfully, "I have a idea in my mind. Later, you and I will go see it on the spot and consider it carefully before making a decision."

"Okay, dad." Tang Mian nodded in agreement, "However, I plan to keep the three thousand taels of silver from the outside world as a reward from the emperor."

Lu Zheng was startled for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "Okay. Country people, three thousand taels of silver is too eye-catching, so it's better to hide it."

"Even for other things, don't say it so clearly."

Twenty acres of land is visible to all and cannot be hidden.

However, the land was rewarded by the emperor. No matter how jealous others are, they cannot take it away or steal it.

Tang Mian: "Yes, I understand."

Lu Zheng: "It's late today. Let's go see the land tomorrow."

"Okay." Tang Mian nodded, "I'll go to the kitchen to cook with my mother. Xiao Niu and Zhuang Zhuang should be back later."

Although Yan Zhongqiu was not in the village today, he had arranged tasks for Mao Niu and Maomao. The two little guys were practicing at Doctor Wu's house.

Lu Zheng: "Go."

After saying that, he turned around and left home with his hands behind his back. He happily walked around the village and determined the location of the twenty acres of land.

Today's harvest was quite fruitful, and the family had dinner happily.

Just after breakfast the next day, Lu Zheng hurriedly took Tang Mian to see the land.
