Chapter 186: No comparison, no harm

After eating corn steamed buns and cornbread.

Many ministers have some thoughts.

Some people tentatively spoke, wanting to ask the Emperor for some corn seeds to bring back to their Zhuangzi to plant.

Regardless of whether it was truly a God-given seed or not, this corn seed has such a high yield.

So they also hope to be the first to plant corn on their farm.

It was not because they lacked food, but because it represented a kind of honor and a blessing from God.

Before the Emperor could speak, the Grand Minister of Agriculture reacted.

He jumped out immediately and said that all the remaining seeds should be taken to the Ministry of Agriculture for breeding.

Breed more high-quality corn seeds so that the Emperor can distribute them to the people for planting next year.

Facing the request of the Grand Minister of Agriculture, the Emperor expressed support, so he could not satisfy everyone’s request.

Then the Emperor asked everyone to leave.

Mo Qingling was surrounded by many people, asking for some corn seeds.

However, they were all declined by Mo Qingling with a cold face.

Xi Rui and the other three were particularly excited. They looked at each other a few times and then sneaked out.

“You bastard, where do you want to go?”

Xi Xinheng kept staring at his son and immediately grabbed him out: “Go back with me.”

Xi Rui: “……”

Why does he keep an eye on him?

If there was no such thing as donating seeds, he would have run away immediately. After returning home, he would seek protection from his old grandmother and huddle in the backyard.

But now, he looked at his father with a cocky look in his eyes: “Father, do you want corn seeds in our family?”

Xi Xinheng is a smart person, and he immediately reacted when he heard it: “You have them?”

Xi Rui was even more confident: “That’s because I begged for some from Brother Ling when I was in Nanxi County.”

At this moment, Mo Qingling just walked out of the entangled person and heard Xi Rui’s words. He had black lines on his forehead.

“Xi Rui, you know very well where your corn seeds came from.”

He looked at Xi Rui and the others and said playfully: “Do you want me to help you tell them?”

He had reported this matter to the Emperor before. The Emperor was indeed in a good mood, so he decided to let Xi Rui go.

Xi Rui and the others: “……”

There is no need to be so polite, we thank you.

Xi Rui smiled and said: “Brother Ling, that’s unnecessary.”

Mo Qingling glanced at a few people with a half-smile: “I have already told this to his Majesty. There will be no next time for this kind of thing.”

Seeing such energetic people, he couldn’t help but think of himself, who used to be a dandy.

Although these young masters were dandies, they had a bottom line in doing things. In addition, they have a good relationship with Shi Qingluo, so he helped them get through this time.

As soon as Xi Rui and others heard this, they knew what Mo Qingling meant.

This is the corn they robbed. They got through with it because the Emperor didn’t hold them accountable.

“Brother Ling, we are indeed good friends.” Liang Youxiao smiled and reached out to hook up his hand on Mo Qingling’s shoulders.

But before he could, he was pulled over from behind by his father.

Liang Mingcheng glared at his indifferent son and said, “Speak well, don’t be insolent.”

They were all dandies, but looking at Mo Qingling, then looking at his son. Suddenly, he wanted to stuff this bastard back into his mother’s womb to remold him.

He cupped his hands to Mo Qingling with a smile: “Thank you, Magistrate Mo, for cleaning up the mess for these bastards.”

Xi Xinheng also smiled and cupped his hands: “Yes, thank you very much, Magistrate Mo.”

They were all old people in the court. After hearing Mo Qingling’s words, they roughly guessed that the corn seeds in their bastard son’s hands were not given directly by Mo Qingling.

Now that they got the Emperor’s permission, their family can plant openly and honestly.

Mo Qingling smiled and cupped his hands in return: “The two masters are too serious. His Majesty wanted to reward them, so he didn’t pursue the matter.”

“I’ll take the first step if I have something else to do.”

“Magistrate Mo, please!”

Looking at Mo Qingling’s calm departure, Liang Mingcheng wondered when his troubled son would become like this.

Then he heard his son’s words in his ears: “Stop looking. That’s the son of the Mo family, he will never be your son.”

Liang Mingcheng: “……”

My hands are itchy.

He turned around and glared: “You little bastard, you are getting more and more courageous. Believe it or not, I will break your legs.”

Liang Youxiao raised an eyebrow: “Father if you don’t want the corn seeds to turn into corn buns tonight, you can break my legs.”

Liang Mingcheng: “……”

I envy the Mo family, how could I give birth to such a wicked son?

Well, forget about breaking the leg, otherwise, this bastard might turn the corn seeds into steamed buns.

Now, they have corn seeds, and the Emperor has tacitly approved them. After their Liang Family grows them, they will have more face.

Although there are thousands of corn seeds now, even if the Grand Minister of Agriculture can plant a lot next year, it would still be impossible to plant them all over Daliang.

It can be estimated that not many people will be able to get it next year. Even their family might not be to ask for it, which made him feel comfortable.

So he turned a blind eye to his careless and irritating bastard son.

On the other side, Xi Rui saw that Liang Youxiao’s father was choked by this sentence and did not mention breaking his leg.

So the next moment, he also said the same thing to his father: “Father, if you hit me, our family will have corn buns for dinner tonight.”

Xi Xinheng: “……”

Can’t this idiot have some thoughts of his own? He threatened his father with words that he heard from Liang Youxiao, who was full of evil in the Liang family.

He yelled angrily: “You bastard, I’ll settle the score with you when we get home.”

Xi Rui smiled playfully and was about to leave first: “Father, I’ll go back first.”

When they return home, he will first take the gifts he brought from Nanxi County to his grandmother and mother. This will him keep safe for today so that his father will not be able to lay a finger on him.

Xi Xinheng’s face darkened, “Get lost!”

Liang Mingcheng was suddenly comforted when he saw that Xi Xinheng and his son were in an argument.

Then several people from the Fei Family came out.

Fei Yuzhe immediately walked up with a smile.

“Grandpa, I brought some corn seeds back from Nanxi County to honor you and grandma, so that you can also enjoy this blessing from God and live a long life!”

Different from Xi Rui and Liang Youxiao, the person he was coaxing was not his grandmother and mother in the back house, but his grandfather, the head of the family.

This was a very different way of survival for a dandy.

Sure enough, when Old Master Fei heard this, he showed a kind smile and said: “I know you are the most filial. When we get back, let’s take this corn and plant it on the farm.”

Then he received envious looks from many people, which made the smile on Old Master Fei’s face become even deeper.

Many people took the initiative to join in. Old Master Fei began to show off his grandson.

Then, when he heard someone tentatively asking for seeds, he tactfully changed the subject and hurried away with his son and grandson.

Liang Mingcheng: “……”

Xi Xinheng: “……”

There is no harm without comparison.

Look at Fei Yuzhe, how sensible and respectful he was. But what about them? They just wanted to beat their bastard son to death……

Then they saw many people with good connections coming towards them, also with envious eyes.

The two of them had to lament that it was rare for their bastard son to make their faces look bright for once.

While feeling proud, they immediately ran away.
