Chapter 289 Welcome the New Year

Jiang Yan's eyes were slightly stunned, and she glanced at the sugar cube in surprise.

"Master Fang, what else do you need? Please speak up."

Fang Tang nodded, carefully took out the list from his arms and spread it out. He cleared his throat and raised his voice and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince expresses his gratitude to the peasant woman Jiang Yan. In the past, the farm tools were improved and the late rice production was increased. She has served the country and the people. It is really impressive."

People admire me, and I will give you a box of gold and silver jewelry, a box of fine jewelry, thirty pieces of fine cloth and silk, two sets of heads and faces, and several pens, inks, papers and inkstones..."

When Jiang Yan heard this, she immediately knelt on the ground peacefully, and other nearby villagers also knelt down.

The people behind saw the people in front kneeling down, and one or two of them were confused, and they also knelt down in confusion.

Jiang Yan couldn't help but wander. She understood the emperor's reward, but why did the prince also give her a reward?

She didn't even know the prince's name, but now that the officials in the dynasty had a clear position, the prince could blatantly send the reward to Linjia Village, which meant that the sugar cube belonged to him too.

Jiang Yan pursed her lips tightly and her eyes fell on County Magistrate Li. When their eyes met, Magistrate Li shifted his gaze uncomfortably.

She thought for a moment, and the handsome face of "Fifth Master" flashed in her mind, and she immediately guessed the general background. The only people who could win over County Magistrate Li before the late rice was delivered to the imperial city were the people from Huafang Tower.

"Congratulations to you two adults..." the villagers shouted with a high voice, and they all knelt down again.

But it was still a fruitful return, after all, the last check she gave Tang Tang included the people accompanying her.

The prince did not use the word "lone" or "this prince". He called himself "I".

Fang Tang said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that I hope Madam Jiang will not be angry with this reward. Madam has a broad mind and everything she does is for the people. Madam, just believe it. I am the same as Madam."

Thinking of this, Fang Tang's heart became more and more excited, and his face couldn't help but show a bit of anticipation.

After speaking, Jiang Yan returned to the house in a few steps, dug out a small box, picked some large potatoes that she had planted before, and put them in. She quickly wrote a letter, including several ways to eat potatoes and how to grow them.

.

She gave it so blatantly that I didn't dare to swallow all the sugar cubes.

Jiang Yan thought about it for a moment, then called Fang Tang and whispered: "Master Fang, please wait a moment. I have something that I hope Master Fang can help deliver to His Highness the Crown Prince."

"All the royal decrees have been delivered, so I will take my leave first. Mrs. Jiang, I will see you again someday." Fang Tang handed over his hand and prepared to leave.

Jiang Yan felt a little embarrassed by Fang Tang's blazing gaze. She quietly took a few steps back and said warmly: "Congratulations to Mr. Fang and Mr. Li. It's snowing and windy on the road. Please be careful along the way."

"etc!"

Old Mrs. Jiang smiled like a maniac, and Jiang Yan rolled her eyes angrily. She really didn't want to talk nonsense, and her aura became more and more indifferent.

Jiang Yan handed the box to Tangtang and expressed her meaning without leaving any trace.

"Boss, please arrange for someone to sort out the rewards and put them in the backyard warehouse..." Jiang Yan looked at the list and called Lin Dong out from the corner.

"Mom! This is the imperial edict!"

Just when the servants were preparing to move things, Old Mrs. Jiang jumped out again, the excitement on her face was even more obvious than that of the Lin brothers.

"This imperial edict looks so exquisite. The fabric looks like Yun brocade, but it doesn't seem like it is. It's my fault that we didn't know better..."

After all the officials left, the villagers, who had been suppressing their excitement and fear, began to let out their voices. Everyone squeezed forward and looked at those things with burning eyes.

If it is really a great achievement, then the history books will not be able to write the sentence "worked as an official sugar escort!"

"I heard you right, my grandson also got a reward, one thousand taels! One thousand taels of silver! You are not allowed to take this away, I want it! I will take it all away now!"

Besides, with this wave of rewards from the Crown Prince, she was clearly taken under his wing, and it made no difference whether she agreed or not.

"A lot of gold, silver and jewelry. This is much more than last time. There is also gold..."

The group came with great fanfare and left with great fanfare. They didn't even go into the back room to sit for a while before leaving in a dusty atmosphere.

At first, Jiang Yan was still guessing that Huafang Tower was related to the prince. Now it seems that the "Fifth Master" is the prince. In this case, it is not surprising that the prince traveled thousands of miles to give her a reward today.

.

Before leaving, he leaned over and whispered to Jiang Yan: "Mrs. Jiang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to tell you a few words."

Although I don’t know what kind of medicine this prince sells in his gourd, if he can put down his identity and care about the people, of course she will support him.

Jiang Yan's expression remained unchanged, and she also lowered her voice and said, "What are you talking about? Mr. Fang, please tell me."

Jiang Yan followed him to the door and saw the tall and strong horses and two luxurious and brand-new carriages outside the door.

In a few breaths, Jiang Yan went through everything in her mind. She stood up slowly, ignoring her soaked knees, and accepted all the rewards.

Jiang Yan's eyebrows relaxed slightly and she said with a smile: "In that case, I will fully support His Highness the Crown Prince."

But in this way, she inexplicably took the position of the prince. If the prince was worried about the people, he would just stand, fearing that things would go against his wishes...

She thanked Fang Tang, took out a one hundred tael silver note and handed it to him again, and invited Fang Tang to stay and rest again, but Fang Tang declined Jiang Yan.

Lin Bei, who was holding the imperial edict, was surrounded by everyone. Everyone was rushing in and out, just to get a glimpse of this legendary thing.

"Sir Fang, these things are some of the specialties at home. I hope you can take them back. If the important people in the imperial city have something rare, you can ask Huafang House to come to Linjia Village to order it."

After being outside for so long, her body was already cold. She said to Jiang Wen: "Do you want to take the reward yourself, or what?"

He vowed and said with firm eyes: "Don't worry, Mrs. Jiang, I will send you to the imperial city, and I will never let you down!"

Fang Tang immediately understood the implication of her words. Thinking that Jiang Yan’s contribution to good recipes these few times were major events that could be recorded in history, his hands holding the box became more and more careful, and even his posture was a bit respectful and pious.

.

Jiang Wen directly ignored Grandma's gaze and said firmly: "It's all thanks to my aunt. I dare to accept this reward. My aunt will just keep it. I don't want any of it!"

Jiang Wen's voice was firm. He was already happy to be praised by the emperor this time. He was embarrassed to ask for the money. Even without him, my aunt could have painted it herself. If not, there was Qiao Xiucai.

Jiang Yan did not continue to persuade her. Just like the two hundred taels last time, she knew Jiang Wen would not want it.

In the current situation, giving it to him directly would be equivalent to giving it to Mrs. Jiang. It would be better to store it and return it all when he rushes to take the exam at the beginning of the new year.
