When Ling Hui came over after finishing his official duties, what he saw was a scene like this. Even though he was well-informed, he was still stunned, but there was nothing wrong with it.

His eyes were immediately fixed on Shen Nanshan. No matter how many times he saw her, he was still curious. How could there be such similar faces in the world? They were almost exactly the same.

"Meet the general."

It was impossible for Yao Shu not to notice such a big figure appearing at the door. She immediately stood up and saluted with Shen Nanshan and his son. Although their etiquette was not very standard, it was enough.

Otherwise it would be disrespectful of them.

Because Shen Nanshan had said this before, Yao Shu paid special attention this time and unexpectedly discovered something was wrong. Did Ling Hui pay too much attention to Shen Nanshan?

She still had the method of growing sweet potatoes in her hand, but even so, she couldn't take away even a ray of sight.

"General, this is a sweet potato cultivation method compiled by a civilian woman."

Seeing that Shen Nanshan was about to be unable to bear the pressure, Yao Shu took the initiative to send the booklet in her hand forward.

After all, it was business that mattered. General Ling withdrew his gaze. The people around him couldn't escape here. He had plenty of time to figure out the truth.

He took the booklet and read it carefully. The content was very concise and clear, and the words on the paper had a unique style of their own. He didn't expect that Yao Shu, a peasant woman, could write such a good stroke. , he very much doubted that the Shen family was more than just refugees.

"I didn't expect Mrs. Shen's talent and learning to be so good, and her handwriting is quite elegant. This makes me very ashamed."

Ling Hui is a military commander, but he is really not good at literature.

After being looked down upon by him, Yao Shu did not admit it. Although it was easy to deceive Ling Hui now, she could not let her conscience feel uneasy.

"General Mizan, I asked Wang Chengzhi from our village to help me write this article."

"I see."

Ling Hui suddenly realized that this made sense. When he got the things, he did not forget Yao Shu's contribution, but he didn't know what to reward Yao Shu, so he simply asked directly.

"You have made great achievements, but what reward do you want?"

"Women dare not take credit."

She still had to have the modest refusal, as this reward could not be escaped, and she really couldn't think of anything she wanted for a while.

She didn't know what to ask for. The Shen family was living a pretty good life now. Although they were still a little poor, they would definitely be able to get out of the current predicament in time. Apart from gold and silver, she seemed to be unable to think of anything else to ask for.

If a man from a well-established family got such merit and worked hard, he could be awarded a title. However, given the situation of the Shen family and the identity of her daughter, she would not even think of such a reward because it was hopeless.

Even if there is no reward, she won't be angry. It would be a great thing for the General's Mansion to owe her a favor.

She didn't say anything, but Ling Hui wasn't prepared to do anything.

"In that case, let's go back and wait for the news."

This matter was of great importance, and he needed to report it to the court. He had no idea of ​​taking credit. Ling Hui had guarded the northwest for so many years, and he did not lack such a small amount of credit. He was also worried that his great achievements would shake the master.

"promise."

There was nothing wrong with Yao Shu, so she said goodbye immediately and left. The three of them walked out of the living room. Before they even stepped out of the threshold, they heard a voice coming from behind.

"stop."

Ling Hui's sudden appearance frightened Yao Shu and the other three people. She couldn't figure out what the cause of this incident was, and she felt a little uneasy.

"What orders does the general have?"

Even though she was worried, Yao Shu could only reply bravely. Everyone in her family was pointing at her, and Shen Nanshan and Shen Bei were so frightened that their legs weakened.

"Who is this?"

"This is Shen Bei, the third son of the family."

Yao Shu glanced at Shen Bei and quickly looked away, and answered respectfully.

During this period of time in the General's Mansion, Shen Bei had always behaved himself without causing any trouble, and he didn't know how he attracted Ling Hui's attention.

"The boy has met the general."

Under the signal from Yao Shu's eyes, Shen Bei excitedly stepped forward to salute again. Although his movements were very quick, he was already panicking. He came to the General's Mansion just to discuss business with the housekeeper. , I never expected to talk to the general.

He had never experienced such a battle before, so he panicked.

"Ah."

Ling Hui responded lightly, saying that he was familiar with his old friend when he was a boy, and Shen Beichang's old friend was 70-80% similar when he was young.

It was already very rare to meet someone who looked like an old friend. As a result, he met two in a series, and he became more and more certain that the Shen family must be related to his old friend.

In this case, he could not help but give more preferential treatment to the Shen family.

"Nothing, let the housekeeper take you back."

"More generals."

Because of Ling Hui's sudden order, Yao Shu and others felt much more relaxed when they went back, and went straight back to Dahe Village in a carriage.

The carriage in the General's Mansion was not particularly gorgeous, but it was first-class comfortable. For Yao Shu, it was much more comfortable than an ox-cart. Although there were still some bumps, they were negligible.

Because the people driving the carriage were from the General's Mansion, the Shen family didn't talk much along the way, making the journey extremely boring.

It wasn't until he arrived at the door of the Shen family's courtyard that Shen Bei mustered up the courage to speak to Butler Ling.

"Steward Ling, I wonder if the general still needs sweet potatoes now? I still have a lot of them at home."

"Of course I want it."

Butler Ling was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized that Fanshu would naturally accept anyone who came, not to mention that this was a request from the Shen family.

Seeing the two of them talking, Yao Shu had a look of relief on her face. She thought that because of the previous episode, Shen Bei would not dare to speak again. Even if Shen Bei did nothing, she would be able to understand.

But Shen Bei still didn't forget the purpose of going out, and his character was still good.

It happened that the carriage was here, and Butler Ling immediately took Sweet Potato and Tudou back. After the money was paid, Shen Bei got a twenty-tael silver note.

This is really a huge sum of money. Firstly, it is because the General's Mansion is purchased at a high price. Secondly, Butler Ling intends to sell the Shen family a good one. As a servant, he understands the master's thoughts very well and will not spend more money. Next words.

Twenty taels of silver was nothing to the General's Mansion, and he, the housekeeper, didn't even look down upon it.

After sending the people from the General's Mansion away, the Shen family relaxed and Shen Bei reluctantly gave the banknote to Yao Shu.

"Mom, I've taken care of things."

"Yes, it looks like he has made a lot of progress."

Yao Shu did not hesitate to praise Shen Bei. Although a large sum of money was credited to her account, there was not much smile in her eyes.
