County Magistrate Shen had not been in office for long, so it was not convenient for him to leave for a long time. However, the new rice seeds were very important, so the Emperor felt that he had to meet him.
Xiaoxiao was not worried at all. She knew best what was going on with the rice seeds. When County Magistrate Shen wrote the memorandum, he specifically said that he did not know if the next batch of rice would have high-yielding characteristics. He did not set a trap for himself.
The envoy from the Imperial Capital also knew that the two of them were going to receive the reward, so he was still quite polite to them.
Of course, this courtesy was different when facing County Magistrate Shen and Xiaoxiao.
County Magistrate Shen was the disciple of the Great Confucian Lu Chen and the youngest top scholar in the history of Great Xia. He had a bright future and no one would offend him. Ning Xiaoxiao was just a farm girl, so it was fine as long as he had given her enough face.
