The farm cook is very prosperous

Chapter 120 The Sudden Blessing (2)
"What are you muttering over there by yourself?" Song Yicheng entered the room, and saw Chunniang frowning and talking with her fingers.

"Hey, it's nothing, I'm just thinking again, how much does the house cost for a month?" Chun Niang replied calmly, resting her chin.

"Pfft, I thought what was the matter, let us, the Shun'an county lord, have a hard time here?" Song Yicheng was amused by Chunniang's worrying words, and laughed and teased.

"If you are not in charge of the house, you don't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt? Besides, the house bestowed by the emperor, I can't keep it empty, so I don't want to live in it, but if I live in it, there are so many houses, and I have to hire a dozen or so just to do odd jobs, not including the kitchen. The rough envoy, the gatekeeper, the nurse..."

"Wait, I heard what you said. If you dare to ask for this gift, it's not a house, but a burden of burning money. Have you forgotten the other gifts mentioned in the imperial decree?"

"What else, isn't it just 5000 taels of silver and some silk?"

"What about a thousand acres of fertile land?"

"Oh, yes, I can still collect rent. Although it's not very rich, it shouldn't be a big problem to be a rice bug." The little head began to calculate there again.

"It seems that you really don't know what benefits this county master has?" Song Yicheng shook his head, he really didn't know what to say to the behavior of his own wife who was always thinking about the money bag, but was indifferent to her own interests.

"Is there any more? What is it?" Chunniang's eyes lit up. Could there be something else that was not mentioned in the imperial decree? The title 'County Lord' was too unfamiliar to her, and it happened so suddenly that she didn't even have time to adapt.

"You, Lord of Shun'an County, as the name suggests, your fief is Shun'an County. Shun'an County is less than seventy miles away from here. The house that the emperor gave you is in Yun County. I will tell you clearly that you don't have to go to fief. As far as I know , Shun'an County is also included in the corn seed demonstration area you donated this time. Shun'an County is much larger than Yun County, and it is also a rich county. Don't worry, your money will definitely not be short in the future."

"What do you mean?" Chunniang was confused.

"Oh." Song Yicheng said it so blatantly, why this girl still didn't understand, he was so angry that he knocked on Chun Niang.

"I'm usually not very smart, how can I be so stupid now." Song Yicheng looked at Chunniang still looking at himself stupidly, hey, and said with a deep sigh.

"I mean that the tax revenue of Shun'an County is better than that of Yun County. As the chief court of Shun'an County, the salary that you get every year will not be less than [-]% of the county's tax revenue. You should understand now, right?" .”

"You mean that I still have a salary every year, [-]% of the tax. My God, how much is it?" Chun Niang couldn't turn her head enough, and her mind was full of white money.Unexpectedly, life is so delicate. When she first wore it, she kept complaining about God's injustice to her. She didn't expect that the better days are coming, and she will soon be able to live a luxurious life like royal family and aristocrats.

"Have you finished the calculations with your little head? I still have something to ask you." Song Yicheng looked at Chunniang's silly look, and knew that she was thinking wildly again.

"Ah, oh, just say what you have to say."

"Did the county magistrate really get it by donating corn seeds?" Song Yicheng was so busy entertaining congratulatory guests with Chunniang these days that he never had time to talk to Chunniang in detail. He was not jealous of his little lady's comparison He has a high status, but he always feels a little uneasy, is Chunniang hiding something from him, is there something happening that he doesn't know about.

"It should be, isn't that what the imperial decree says?" Chunniang didn't know how to explain these canonizations to Song Yicheng, and she herself felt baffled.

"What did the father-in-law who announced the decree tell you before he left?"

"Ah, he... He told me not to disappoint the empress dowager and the second prince in this competition."

"Second prince? It seems that this canonization must be related to him." Song Yicheng said with a wry smile.

"You guessed it too?" The chance of her guessing alone is definitely not high, but if even Song Yicheng is so sure, then it's probably close to ten.

Song Yicheng glanced at Chunniang suspiciously, and it must be easy to guess what this girl was thinking: "The only person we have contact with the royal family is him, but I never thought that he would buy such a favor from you, what did you do?" People like my wife so much."

"They said it was to repay my life-saving grace last time. But I feel that I deserved it. At that time, I just did it unintentionally. The main reason was that I was afraid of hurting myself, so I delayed the assassination of Boss Huo and the others. You said Do we want to return this canon to others when we go to Beijing this time?" Although Chunniang accepted blessings from all parties on the surface these days, she was always a little uneasy in her heart.

Song Yicheng hugged Chun Niang, and said infinitely tenderly: "Silly girl, this is an imperial decree from the emperor, you think it's playing tricks. If you feel really ashamed, then in this culinary art The performance in the competition should be better. Do you still remember what Eunuch Cao said? Don’t let them down." I really hope that everything is as it says on the surface, the gift given by the second prince is too big.

A week later, Song Yicheng, his wife, and Chen Feng officially set foot on the road to the capital with several servants.Since the matter of canonization was delayed for a long time, they hurriedly rushed along the way, not daring to make any delays.

"Ah, where are you now?" Chunniang lifted the curtain of the car, yawned, and looked around blankly.In addition to the flowers and trees on both sides of the road, it is the sound of birds that are constantly singing.

"Hehe, Song Yicheng really convinced you. He married a little slacker and went home, and offered him like a treasure. Although he was riding a horse outside, he ran into the carriage after a while. I didn't understand at first. , I found out later that he was afraid that your girl kicked the blanket to sleep and caught a cold, so I said you used the girl next to her as a display." Although Chen Feng said this to Song Yicheng and Chunniang, both of them were fine. He laughed with him over there, but the other person blushed in embarrassment, wishing he hadn't gotten out of the carriage just now.The servants around here are all from the Song Mansion, and that one doesn't know the temperament of their third son's family, but this is the first time to speak out in public, and they all cover their mouths and laugh secretly.

"Brother Feng, what nonsense are you talking about? People are asking where you are now? What nonsense are you talking about?" This Chen Feng is really serious, and he loves to make fun of her more and more.

"It's still early? You only slept half of the journey, or I think you'd better go back to the car and continue to sleep."

"What? You only walked halfway?" Oh my god, they have already set off for ten days. Why did they only go halfway? The capital city is too far away. It would be great if there was a speeding car or a train.
