And most importantly, it is to be able to win the favor of the villagers and gain a good reputation for the Xin family. The second brother (Xin Chang'an) will have to go on a career in the future, and it is very important to have a good reputation.

If you use some benefits to keep these villagers alive, you won’t be afraid that they will not cooperate in the future.

As the Xin family's conditions became better and better, the villagers and tribe members' attitude towards them became much more "passionate".

Some people want to come to Qiufeng to borrow money, some want to get married to the Xin family, and some people who don’t know how far away they are, come to visit them in the name of contacting each other.

It made Yanjiu very annoyed and didn't want to pay attention to these people at all, but she had to deal with them patiently.

In fact, it was Ling Xiujin. Ling Xiujin has now become a "celebrity" in the village, and it is still the kind of person who has a name on the county magistrate.

There are two reasons: one is that the rice and potatoes he planted were extremely high in yields. (Note: Potatoes have already appeared in this era.)

Secondly, he improved several types of farm tools and "designed" something called a waterwheel not long ago.

Ling Xiujing handed him over the methods of increasing grain production and the production maps of improving agricultural tools and water trucks, and the county magistrate rewarded him with one hundred taels of silver.

Their county is very good and promised to help Ling Xiujin ask for merit. When the emperor determines the authenticity of this matter, there should be other rewards.

However, what Ling Xiujin did not expect was that the emperor actually called him to see him, so he had to temporarily entrust Goudan to Lingjiu, ask her to take care of him, and then follow the county magistrate to go to Beijing.

What Ling Xiujin didn't expect was that after the emperor accidentally learned that he was an old bachelor, he actually planned to give him a palace maid to be his wife.

Ling Xiujin was so scared that she quickly rejected the emperor's kindness. The emperor was not angry about it, but was a little curious about why he refused.

Logically speaking, an old bachelor who can't afford to marry a wife will suddenly become a waste of his wife. He should be very happy.

"Caomin dares not deceive Your Majesty. Cao Bao already has a sweetheart in his heart, but he cannot marry her for some reason. Cao Bao is really unwilling to marry a wife now, so he can only let His Majesty down."

Ling Xiujin explained this, looking anxious and restless, a trace of light flashed in his lower eyes. Obviously, his nervousness was all pretending.

"Oh? Is your sweetheart already married? Or is her parents disagree?" After hearing this, the emperor was immediately interested.

As the emperor, he had three palaces and six courtyards, and there were many beauties in the harem. Logically, the emperor should not be able to understand his thoughts, but coincidentally, the emperor had a white moonlight in his heart.

Is it the girl I fell in love with when I was an emperor or a prince? It’s a pity that the girl was weak and sick. Before the emperor could propose marriage to her father, the girl died.

This girl became the white moonlight in the emperor's heart.

Now that he heard Ling Xiujin say this, the emperor couldn't help but think of the girl, feeling a little regretful, and then asked more.

After careful consideration, Ling Xiujin decided to tell the truth: "Your Majesty, is it, she is a widow..."

"Oh? One of you has no wife yet, and the other has died, why can't you be together?" The emperor became more and more curious.

This dynasty has always encouraged widows to remarry. Widows are not new, so the emperor does not understand what his concerns are.

"She has four sons, and her children are quite filial. One of them is a scholar. The Caomin felt that he was not worthy of her and was worried that she would not want to remarry me."

Ling Xiujin said in a little embarrassed manner, her face turned red, and she looked like she wanted to dig a crack on the ground and drill into it.

After hearing this, the emperor couldn't help laughing happily, and Ling Xiujin's face turned redder.

Perhaps seeing Ling Xiujin was infatuated, the emperor did not force him, gave him a large reward, and told him a few more words, so he asked him to go back.

Ling Xiujin did not take the opportunity to ask the emperor for marriage. First, he did not want to force Ling Jiu in this way unless she was willing to marry him.

Second, he is self-aware. He does not have that big face yet, and can let the emperor give them a marriage. You must know that not everyone is qualified to let the emperor give them a marriage.

What's more, the reason why the emperor summoned him was just because he valued the output of food and wanted to see him on a whim.

In the eyes of the emperor, he is actually nothing, and even his name may not be remembered.

If he dares to overestimate himself, he will definitely make the emperor unhappy and may even lose his life.

"Aunt, my dad won't be in trouble, right?" Xin's family, Goudan asked Lingjiu with a worried look on her face, clenching her hands slightly.

"Well, your father won't be in trouble, you don't have to worry." Lingjiu nodded and gave him a positive answer, but was thinking about a question in her heart.

Something was wrong with her neighbor.

Although... this person looks no different from the original memory, he is as honest and taciturn as he is.

But the farm tools he made and the methods to increase yield made her feel familiar, and she even had relevant knowledge in her mind.

In addition, he seemed to have been showing kindness to her intentionally or unintentionally, uh~ he just kept giving her delicious food. This behavior really made people feel a bit inconsistent.

Yes, in the past year, Aya Xiujin often asked Goudan to deliver food to Aya Jiu.

At the beginning, Lingjiu was a little embarrassed to accept it, but in the end she couldn't resist the temptation of the food and accepted it with a thick skin.

Of course, Lingjiu always returns gifts. After all, she has come and go, so she has no habit of taking advantage of others.

Over time, Yanjiu became accustomed to this "interactive" relationship. The main reason is that the dishes made by the other party are so delicious. Compared with the old neighbor's skills, the dishes cooked by her home are simply pig food.

But speaking of this, her old neighbor's cooking skills are also one of the doubts. You should know that this person's cooking skills were not that good in the past.

Of course, it is also possible that their family was too poor before and could not bear to buy meat, so there was little smell of meat.

Anyway, in Lingjiu's opinion, the old neighbor of the original body was very suspicious, and you could tell at a glance that he was not a simple person.

But what Lingjiu couldn't understand was why this person delivered food to their house every day, what was he trying to do?

If the original body hadn't been younger and seemed to be two years older than this person, she would have doubted whether the other party had any intentions for her.

"But... Aunt, I'm still a little worried about my father. I heard that it would make His Majesty unhappy, but it would lose my head." Goudan was still very uneasy when he heard this.

In fact, Goudan also knew that Lingjiu could not give him an answer. After all, he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a disaster. He just wanted to find someone to talk to.

Because their family is poor and he is not his father's biological son, the friends in the village are not happy to play with him, so he has no particularly good playmates.

Now that his father followed the county magistrate to meet the saint, he was very worried, so he wanted to talk to "Aunt An".
