Ying Qingci prepared the meals, and Geng Hanchu acted as an assistant, responsible for bringing the dishes to the table.
Seeing what Geng Hanchu was holding, Chen Huan was so frightened that he almost threw the teacup in his hand.
My legs were shaking.
"Dian...Dian..."
His Highness actually condescended to serve the plate. This...how can he eat this?
"Slave... come here, slave."
Geng Hanchu glanced at him and did not refuse.
Chen Huan raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. If he ate the food brought by His Highness himself, would his life... be shortened?
Even His Majesty and the Queen have never eaten the dishes served by His Highness himself, right?
Thinking like this, Chen Huan touched his neck, not knowing whether his head would be safe after he returned to the capital.
Geng Hanchu did not refuse, but he glanced at Nan Xiangyun.
Nan Xiangyun understood immediately.
"Sister Ying, let me help you."
Geng Hanchu's face darkened, did he mean this?
"No need, Brother Nan, I found a round plate and brought it over together."
With that said, Ying Qingci took out the dishes from the round plate one by one.
Looking at the dishes on the table, Nan Xiangyun swallowed, and the aroma that hit his face almost brought out all the gluttons in his stomach.
He couldn't wait any longer.
The same goes for Chen Huan on the side.
Obviously he has seen a lot of delicacies, but now when he saw the table of dishes in front of him, his eyes were filled with shock.
He didn't even recognize many of the grasses among them.
"County Lord, are these?"
"These are all things from the mountains." Ying Qingci knew that Chen Huan probably didn't recognize them. "This is a yam. It is used to stir-fry and eat. It has a smooth and glutinous texture..."
Ying Qingci raised her hand and pointed at the plate of fried yam in front of her.
Then we introduced chestnuts and sweet potatoes.
They were all things that Chen Huan had never seen or heard of before. Now that he saw them, he was surprised.
Huang Xuecao and the others were a little reserved.
After all, Chen Huan is also a member of the imperial palace. Normally, ordinary people like him cannot go to the capital, let alone meet the nobles from the palace.
"Eunuch Chen, please try it first to see if it suits your taste."
Chen Huan saw that everyone in the Ying family was staring at him, and he was sitting at the same table as His Highness. It looked like there was a nail under his butt.
I can't even sit still.
"This... County Master, I am just a slave, how can I sit at the same table with you?"
"Eunuch Chen, this is a civil society, and our family doesn't follow so many rules."
Ying Shuangzhu had just gotten acquainted with Chen Huan a little bit, but now that he heard his words, he spoke quickly.
"Yes, Eunuch Chen, our family doesn't have that many rules."
But Chen Huan looked at Geng Hanchu who was standing aside.
Your Highness is still here after all.
Nan Xiangyun also knew that Chen Huan was feeling uncomfortable, so he raised his head and glanced at Geng Hanchu.
Geng Hanchu raised his head and glanced at him, "Eunuch Chen, this is not a palace, there are not so many rules."
"Oh, yes, yes."
Chen Huan responded quickly, leaving the Ying family a little confused. Why did Eunuch Chen feel so obedient to Yu Zhi's words?
Is it their illusion?
This meal was delicious, but Chen Huan ate it with fear.
It was really torturing him to have dinner with His Highness.
Although the food was delicious, he was not in the mood to taste it.
After finally waiting until the meal was over, Chen Huan hurriedly left.
However, before parting, Ying's family also put a big burden on him.
"Third brother, don't you prepare some for your family?"
"Okay, then I'll trouble you girl."
"You're welcome, you are my big supporter!"
Geng Hanchu chuckled, knowing that his identity could not be hidden from Ying Qingci.
Therefore, Chen Huan came from the capital with only His Majesty's imperial edict and rewards, but when he returned, he brought large and small bags with him.
It’s full and rewarding.
Chen Huan's arrival caused a stir in Qingyang Village, but for the Ying family, it was actually nothing.
Previously, Wang Sihai and the others did not know that this imperial edict was actually one to confer the title of county lord. Now that they knew it, they naturally wanted to congratulate them.
"Congratulations, Miss Ying."
Wang Sihai had just finished speaking when he quickly changed his words, "No, it should be, congratulations to the county master."
Who would have thought that in just a few months, a small peasant girl who was running away from famine would become the head of the county with a higher official position than him.
Although the county lord has no real power, he is actually canonized by his majesty. His status is indeed much higher than that of the county magistrate.
"My lord, this is serious."
Ying Qingci smiled and spoke.
Wang Sihai didn't speak again, but he also knew that everything Ying Qingci had today was earned by herself.
If it weren't for her, the refugees who originally entered Nanning Prefecture would have endured hunger and would not be able to fill their stomachs.
There is also this poisoning incident. I don’t know how many people will be poisoned.
Not to mention, the few prescriptions she provided to combat the epidemic, as well as the plant illustrations she had drawn...
It is said that after His Majesty’s order, the Department of Agricultural Affairs has drawn an atlas and posted it in the jurisdiction of each county. Now many people have learned about many wild vegetables and plants through the illustrated encyclopedia...
It is indeed a major event that benefits the country and the people.
…
When the village chief and Qin Chunhua arrived at Ying's house, Wang Sihai and the others had just left.
Seeing their figures, Ying Shuangzhu quickly invited them into the yard.
"village head……"
Before Ying Qingci could finish her words, the village chief knelt on the ground.
"The common people see the county leader."
Ying Qingci's eyes widened, "Uncle, village chief, aunt, what are you doing?"
The village chief looked at her and said, "Xiao Liu, things are different now. You are the county head who has been personally appointed by His Majesty."
Speaking of His Majesty, the village chief and others had a look of respect on their faces, not daring to be disrespectful at all.
"Village Chief Abo, although I have been canonized as the county lord, I am still from Qingyang Village and live here, so I don't need to care about those false etiquette."
When the village chief heard this, he felt emotional.
Xiaoliu is still Xiaoliu, unchanged.
Thinking about it this way, he thought too much and thought that after Xiao Liu became the county head, he would disown them.
"Besides, our wine shop is still here, and we still need help."
I said this to appease the village chief.
Ying Qingci knew what the village chief was worried about.
She is not a person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong. She sees and remembers whoever treats their family well.
As long as there was no one secretly backstabbing her family, she would remember it.
As for those who made sarcastic remarks, she was not prepared to use them again.
"By the way, village chief uncle, do you know the village chief of Liujia Village next door to Qingyang Village?"
The village chief didn't know why Ying Qingci asked this, but he had an intuition in his heart that there must be something big...
