Magistrate Shen took office not long ago, and it was not convenient for him to leave for a long time. However, the new rice seeds were of great importance, and the emperor felt that he must meet him.

Xiaoxiao has nothing to worry about. She has the best knowledge about the rice seeds. When Magistrate Shen wrote the brochure, he also specifically stated that he did not know whether the next crop of rice would have high yield characteristics and did not dig a hole for himself. .

The envoys from the capital also knew that these two people were there to receive rewards, so they were polite to them.

Of course, this politeness is somewhat different when it comes to Magistrate Shen and when it comes to Xiaoxiao.

Magistrate Shen is the apprentice of the great scholar Lu Shen, and is currently the youngest number one scholar in the history of Daxia. He has a bright future, and no one would dare to offend him. However, Ning Xiaoxiao is just a peasant girl, and she can just live up to her reputation.

But the more they walked with them, the more the envoys felt that something was not right.

Ordinarily, unsophisticated farmers should be anxious and excited when they learn that they are going to Beijing, but this girl Ning should eat and drink. She occasionally pulls grass and digs out seedlings, plays with them and then throws them away. Along the way, it seems that When traveling around the mountains and rivers, there was no sign of nervousness at all, and sometimes he was even calmer than Magistrate Shen.

What makes them even more puzzled is that Magistrate Shen is from a good background and his wife's family is also wealthy. Even if he spends money lavishly, why does this Miss Ning seem to be as generous as Lord Shen?

Whenever I see something interesting on the street, I buy it without considering the price at all.

If she just bought some girly stuff, the thing she bought the most along the way was actually books.

The envoy was puzzled. After asking the county magistrate, he found out that the little girl had an older brother who was studying, and he was also a disciple of Lu Daru. He immediately paid more attention to her.

Xiaoxiao was completely unaware of this. When she walked out of Xijiang County, she felt like she had discovered a new world. She couldn't eat and drink in front of so many people, so she ate as much as possible and tried to guess the cooking method after eating. She couldn't guess. , no matter how delicious it is, it will never let the space use ingredient identification.

She is a very professional person, and other people's prescriptions are all worked out by others. If she cheats, what is the difference between cheating and plagiarism?

Even if she tastes the recipes with her tongue, she will never use them for commercial use or tell others. Most often, she makes them herself to satisfy her cravings.

Since she wanted to eat too much but had limited space in her belly, she distributed all kinds of food and snacks to the people around her. This move seemed ordinary, but it made her fellow guards feel very good about her, and they all enthusiastically shared her feelings along the way. She talked about local customs.

Xiaoxiao reciprocated the favor and tried her best to cook a roasted whole lamb for everyone during a break. The aroma of cumin spread for hundreds of miles, attracting many passers-by to stop.

Xiaoxiao refused to accept food and introduced it generously: "This is a newly developed way of eating in Xijiang County. Nowadays, many people like this bite. There are also green shrimps caught in the Xiaoxi River. The meat is tender and yellow. , more flavorful than river shrimp.”

She was also kind enough to cut some out for passers-by to try.

Everyone who had eaten there was full of praise and said they must visit Xijiang County if they have the chance.

Xiaoxiao then added: "If it is inconvenient to travel far, you can also go to the Li family's shop near home and buy ready-made seasonings to make at home."

Yun Bi was greatly amazed by his future mistress's ability to do business wherever she went. He ate most of the leg of lamb with admiration and guilt for Yun Er and the other brothers.

Friendships between people are often established over one meal. If one meal is not enough, then two meals.

Anyway, when they arrived in the capital, the accompanying guards had already lost any sense of distance from Xiaoxiao, and they all knew each other very well: "Ning Meizi" and "Ning Yatou". The envoy responsible for announcing the decree quietly pointed out some of the emperor's preferences.

Xiaoxiao and County Magistrate Shen heard clearly what he could say and what he couldn't mention. His Majesty's attitude towards the rice seeds and what he wanted to know most.

Originally, County Magistrate Shen was just as worried as the Ning family about Xiaoxiao being young and it would be inappropriate for her to meet His Majesty, but now, ah, it smells so good.

The gates of the capital were countless times higher than those of Xijiang County. The envoy looked at Xiaoxiao with pride, expecting to see a look of shock and speechlessness on her face - just like the many heads that returned to the capital. Like other people, who would have thought that she just covered the sun with her hands and said appreciatively: "Wow, so tall, so majestic."

The tone is that way, but it doesn't seem to be that way.

The envoy gave up thinking and walked towards the imperial city at a faster pace with great solemnity.

It's not that Xiaoxiao doesn't look down on the majestic city gates of the capital city, it's just that she has seen modern high-rise buildings and walked through the majestic and majestic Great Wall. She just sighed, she was already very proud.

However, she also understood that as a peasant girl, she should not act too calm, so when the envoy led them outside the imperial city, Xiaoxiao still acted appropriately as if she had no knowledge. The palaces in the imperial city were majestic and majestic, indeed something she had never seen before.

The envoy was satisfied and went to report and asked the two to wait for summons. Magistrate Shen asked Xiaoxiao: "Are you nervous?"

Xiaoxiao nodded fiercely: "Yes!"

But why did County Magistrate Shen feel that she was lying? He shook his head and put the thought away. How could she, a little girl, not be nervous when she was visiting the capital for the first time and meeting the Holy Master?

He thoughtfully took out something from his arms: "Here, this is the Qingxin Dew given by the miracle doctor Gongsun. If you feel dizzy, take a few puffs before going in."

Xiaoxiao understands, it probably has the same meaning as Fengyoujing, it is used to refresh the mind.

She also took out a greased paper bag from her arms and said politely, "Here, here are the peas I bought on the roadside just now. It's almost time for dinner, why don't you have something to eat?"

Magistrate Shen:...

As a serious minister, Magistrate Shen thanked and declined. Xiaoxiao had to eat three pieces of pea yellow in one bite, and then commented: "It's a little dry and a little too sweet, but it's a pity that there is no tea."

Hey, it's a pity that there is no milk tea shop like her "Fate is You" on the roadside. Otherwise, wouldn't it be beautiful to take a cup away?

Magistrate Shen looked at his nose and heart, standing straight and waiting for the emperor's call. A full hour passed by this time.

It wasn't that the emperor deliberately left people hanging, but that he was furious when an urgent report came from the border that most of the grain and grass transported had been burned.

When the chamberlain finally came out, Xiaoxiao and Magistrate Shen also saw the ministers who were sweating profusely and running out of the Qinzheng Hall. There was wind at their feet, and they were only thinking about going home quickly, so they didn't notice the ministers standing there. The two Xiaoxiao people next to them.

When Xiaoxiao walked into Qinzheng Hall, he lowered his head the whole time as the envoy taught him and never peeked at Tianyan out of curiosity.

The emperor's questions were all answered by Magistrate Shen. They had already discussed the details of their meeting with Mr. Yuan, including Mr. Yuan's appearance and conversation, what he said, and how he left the rice seeds. Described it once.

The emperor was still unsatisfied: "So, this is an outsider who regards gold, silver and power as dirt."
