Qian Feng took a bite of the bright red flesh and felt as if after a mouthful of the melon went down his throat, his whole body became sweet and soft.

"Master, this winter melon is even more delicious than the ones that were sent as tribute."

The man nodded and fell into deep thought as he looked at the melon in his hand.

Her grandfather's family is also in business. If this melon were sold to the capital, it would be snapped up by everyone.

Moreover, if he gave his father some money as a favor, his future career in the government might be more stable.

Thinking of this, he immediately stood up and planned to go meet the county lord.

I heard before that the county princess was just a baby, and she was only named county princess by the emperor because she produced some food.

I didn’t think it was necessary to go over and say hello to him before, but now it seems that this little baby may not be as simple as I thought.

"Madam, I plan to go to the county lady's house to take a look. If there are a lot of this thing growing, I plan to buy some and send it to my father in Beijing."

"Then you go, but drive slowly."

The woman was not ignorant. She naturally knew that any small change she made to the tribute melon in front of her might affect her husband's future career.

After all, favors are the hardest to repay these days, and things are always valuable because they are rare. With such a treasure, I believe it will have the greatest effect.

Qian Feng soon arrived at Taoliu Village, but what he didn't expect was that every household in the village planted rare varieties.

These rare varieties were probably the sweet potatoes that were all the rage in the capital before he came here.

It was not until I arrived in the village that I discovered that every household had fruit trees, and some of the trees were already heavy with fruits.

These fruits were ones that they had never seen before. The old men and women at the entrance of the village looked around curiously when they saw a strange carriage parked at the entrance.

This gorgeously dressed man just looked at the village without taking any further action.

The old patriarch of the village happened to be enjoying the shade under a big tree. When he saw the visitor, he knew at first glance that he was a noble person.

He stepped forward and bowed, "I don't know what brings you to Taoliu Village, sir?"

It was then that Qian Feng reacted and quickly returned the greeting, "Uncle, I am the new county magistrate, and I came to pay my respects to the lady county master."

The people under the big tree were in an uproar. They were shocked at first that it was the county magistrate who came to the village. Then they were even more shocked by the tone of the county magistrate, who actually said that he wanted to meet the county lady.

It was not until this moment that they realized that the little lucky star who usually ran around the village actually had a higher official position than the county magistrate.

When I originally heard that the emperor personally conferred the title of county lord, although I didn't quite understand what it meant, I thought it was just a position where I could make some money, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful.

"Hurry, daughter-in-law, take the county magistrate to the Su family."

The young wife who was called by her father-in-law was still in the crowd, talking excitedly with the group of women. Suddenly she heard her father-in-law calling her and hurriedly got up to lead the way for the county magistrate.

Along the way, the young wife didn't dare to say much, for fear that she might say something wrong and offend the important person.

"Your Excellency the County Magistrate, this is the Su family."

Qian Feng gave a wink to the servant beside him and then walked towards the Su's house.

The servant naturally understood, and quickly took out a tael of silver from his purse and handed it to the young wife.

"Thank you, sister-in-law, for showing my family the way. This is a small gift for me, you must accept it."

The clan leader's daughter-in-law refused at first, but finally accepted it.

She just tightened her grip around the ounce of silver and had no intention of handing the money over.

Since we haven't split up yet, everyone eats and drinks together. Although we won't go hungry, we can't eat anything good.

My mother's hometown is not like Taoliu Village. Because of the little lucky star, every household in the village lives a pretty good life.

My mother's family is several villages away from Taoliu Village, and there is no mountain there, so we can't even dig some wild vegetables or mushrooms on the mountain.

We rely on the crops from the fields to survive all year round, but there has been drought since the past few years.

It cannot be said that there was no gain, but it was just a matter of survival.

So she planned to bring the tael of silver to her mother when she returned home. She had already thought of an excuse and would say that it was a reward from her mother-in-law for her working in the workshop.

When Qian Feng learned that some other families in the village also grew winter melons, he was so happy that he went crazy.

This thing would be very good for my father to build some connections, and he could also present it to the palace.

Then he suddenly remembered that he left in such a hurry that he didn't even taste the little golden pumpkin before rushing over here.

Su Muyao was taking a nap at this time, and Old Man Su didn't know how to chat with the county magistrate.

In short, everyone is a little reserved.

The awkward atmosphere was not broken until a small baby voice was heard from far away.

"Mom, please tie my hair for me."

Soon the little kid came to the main room, with the two little tufts of hair on his head hanging loosely.

Su Muyao looked at the gorgeously dressed man.

Qian Feng had already inquired about the interpersonal relationships of the old Su family before coming, so he naturally knew that the little girl in front of him was the county lord.

The man in front of him suddenly stood up and bowed to Su Muyao, saying, "Your humble official is here to see the county lady."

"Oh, get up quickly."

Su Muyao still didn't quite understand the situation.

"Wow, this is our county's new magistrate."

When Su Muyao heard that it was the new county magistrate, she asked directly, "What about the previous county magistrate's family?"

"The former county magistrate was promoted, and his family moved to Liuzhou."

When Su Muyao heard this, she exploded, "Damn it! You bastard Yuanyuan, don't let me see you, or I will knock out your teeth."

I treated her as my best sister, but she left without even telling me. It really pissed me off.

Yuanyuan, who was being nagging by Su Muyao, sneezed three times in succession in Liuzhou Mansion.

The beautiful woman next to her looked at her little girl in disapproval, "It's so hot, how come you caught a cold? It must be because you didn't cover your stomach at night."

"Mom, that's not the case! I feel like it was Yaoyao who missed me. It's all Dad's fault that he carried me to the carriage while I was taking a nap, and I didn't even say goodbye to my sisters."

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little worried. I wondered if Yaoyao would blame me when I returned to that town.

"Didn't your father leave in a hurry at that time? After a while, when the weather is not hot, I will take you back to see Sister Yaoyao."

The little girl said happily: "It's a deal."

...

It took Su Muyao a long time to recover her breath. She had good things but she was still thinking about her little sister, but she just left without even saying goodbye.

Old Mrs. Su comforted him, "Maybe you left in a hurry and didn't make it in time. I will take you to Liuzhou to visit that girl when we have the chance in the future."

Su Muyao turned her head away and snorted coldly: "Humph! Who wants to play with her?"

The nearby county magistrate thought that although the Su family only sold watermelons from his half-acre land, it was already a lot.

After learning that the rest had been booked by others, he decided to pay 20 taels of silver per watermelon, so he also paid taels of silver for each watermelon.

Fortunately, I brought enough silver with me. Next, I will go to the village to collect all the melons from other people's homes.
