Du Jinning was about to speak, when he heard a person shouting from afar: "Master Du......"

Du Jinning turned her head and saw a few people standing on the road in the distance, one of them was a sturdy man in his forties, she knew that it was Lizheng in this area, who had guaranteed her and the tenant farmers in the contract.

As for the others, they don't know each other.

"It turned out to be Zhou Lizheng. How do you have time to come here today? Du Jinning smiled and planned to go over.

"Hey, don't come here, don't come here." Zhou Lizheng hurriedly said, "Let's go over, Lord Du is waiting in place." ”

Seeing this, Du Jinning had to stand there and wait for the group to come over.

Song Zhuangtou approached Du Jinning and whispered: "The owner, the old man in blue clothes, is the owner of the field next door, surnamed Hu, everyone calls him Hu Yuanwai." His family has more than 200 acres of land, and the Zhuangzi across the Bali Road in the west is his family's. ”

After a pause, afraid that Du Jinning would not understand Hu Yuanwai's intentions, he said again: "The villain estimates that he came for the owner's farming skills." ”

The ancients have always cherished their brooms, and if they have any good techniques or recipes, they are all hidden, for fear that others will learn them and delay their own wealth. That's why Song Zhuangtou has this word, and his tone and attitude are full of contempt.

Du Jinning asked, "How is he?" Is it good for tenant farmers? ”

Seeing that the pedestrian was about to come over, Song Zhuangtou suppressed his desire to talk, and said concisely: "If you are stingy, you will almost drink human blood." If it weren't for the fact that there was no way, everyone wouldn't want to share his family's land. ”

At the beginning, everyone was willing to sign a contract with Du Jinning, instead of going to Hu Yuanwai's house to tenant his family's land to plant, which also had a certain relationship with Hu Yuanwai's personality.

Du Jinning nodded.

At this time, Zhou Lizheng and Hu Yuanwai and his party had already approached.

"Master Du, the villain will introduce you to you, this is Hu Yuanwai, and he is also related to you, his family's field is to the west of your house, with more than 200 acres." The right way of the week.

Hu Yuanwai raised his hand, arched with Du Jinning, and said with a smile: "I have long heard the brother-in-law in the capital mention Lord Du's talent, but I didn't expect Lord Du's field to be planted so well." Hu admired, admired. ”

Zhou Lizheng interjected at the right time: "Hu Yuanwai's brother-in-law works in the Ministry of Industry. ”

"Oh?" Du Jinning glanced at Hu Yuanwai, smiled, and asked, "Oh, your relatives work in the Ministry of Industry?" My teacher used to be in the Ministry of Engineering, and I often went to the Ministry of Industry, but I knew a lot of people in the Ministry of Industry. I don't know which one of the noble relatives of Hu Yuanwai's family is? ”

"Oh, my brother-in-law's surname is Wang, and he is the head of the Yuheng Qing Officials Division of the Ministry of Industry." Hu Yuanwai said proudly, and after speaking, he also glanced at Du Jinning with slanted eyes.

Yu Hengqing, the director of the Ministry of Industry, is a sixth-grade official, half a level higher than Du Jinning's rank; The most important thing is that the magistrate sees that the Beijing official is also three points shorter, according to this theory, Du Jinning is more than half a level lower than his brother-in-law.

Du Jinning bought this field, and he waited for Du Jinning to visit him. But I didn't wait, left and right. Now that he wants to take the initiative to come to the door, he is not angry, so he naturally wants to move out his banner to scare Du Jinning.

"Oh, it turned out to be the king's business." Du Jinning said lightly.

“……”

Hu Yuanwai stared at Du Jinning for a long time, and then finally determined that Du Jinning didn't seem to care about his banner, or it hadn't reached the point where Du Jinning was surprised enough to slap him, which made him very depressed.

In fact, his brother-in-law is a little far away, a distant relative of his wife, so far away that he usually doesn't move around much. But it did not prevent Hu Yuanwai from pulling the tiger skin to make a banner. Because of this banner, Zhou Lizheng usually didn't know how polite he was, even if the tenant farmers made all kinds of trouble because he exploited him too much, Zhou Lizheng helped him suppress it; The surrounding landlords and squires were all courteous to him.

But now, Du Jinning's light breeze gave him the feeling of punching the cotton, which made him feel depressed.

If it was just like this, Du Jinning didn't give him face, he could have brushed his sleeves and left, which made Du Jinning feel worried. But he came here to ask for help.

He wanted Du Jinning's method of planting double-cropping rice and rice seeds, as well as the method of raising fish in rice fields.

This is someone else's secret recipe, why do others want to give it to you for no reason? If you don't want to pay the price of money, you can only bully others.

In his opinion, after sacrificing his banner, Du Jinning must be sincerely afraid of him and stutter in various ways. At this time, when he asked for those methods and rice seeds, Du Jinning would not be able to refuse. In this way, he didn't spend anything, and he was taught by Du Jinning with all his heart. Next year, he also had a bumper harvest in his fields, earning more than double the usual yield. As for ignoring Du Jinning at that time, that's another matter.

didn't expect Du Jinning to not pick up his stubble at all, which made his drama unable to sing all of a sudden.

He collected the smile on his face, his expression was also faint, he looked at the small courtyard of Zhuangzi not far away, and said in a tone that was not salty or light: "Doesn't Lord Du invite us into the house to sit?" ”

Originally, when I heard Song Zhuangtou say that Hu Yuanwai was a person, Du Jinning didn't like him anymore; Now seeing that he still came to her to put up a fight, Du Jinning hated him in his heart.

She didn't bother to waste time on this kind of person, and said directly: "I'll go to the fields for a walk in a while." Hu Yuanwai and Zhou Li are here, let's talk about it here. ”

Hu Yuanwai was stunned.

Since he waved the flag of "brother-in-law", no one has dared to talk to him like this.

"People say that Lord Du Tongzhi has a very big official frame, but I don't think so. Now it seems that this is indeed the case. "He said in a weird way.

Zhou Li was very embarrassed on the sidelines, and he regretted taking such a thing in his heart. One is the state tongzhi, his immediate boss; A relative who is a big official in Beijing is not something that he can afford to offend.

He only hoped that the two of them would treat him as invisible and not burn the fire on him.

But he didn't want Du Jinning to seem to hear his heart, so he put aside Hu Yuan, and arched his hand towards Zhou Lizheng: "Zhou Lizheng, I'll go and get busy first if it's okay, and say goodbye." With that, he turned and left.

"You, you, you ......" Hu Yuanwai was suddenly so angry that he was smoking, pointing at Du Jinning and trembling.

"Lord Du." A voice sounded behind Hu Yuanwai and the others.

As soon as Hu Yuanwai and Zhou Lizheng turned around, they saw seven or eight people standing behind them.

The leader was in his sixties, with a lock of beard; The other, who appeared to be in his thirties, was white-faced, beardless, and wore a royal blue satin tunic and was squinting at them. The others are all dressed as subordinates.

"Father-in-law Jin, Lord Wu." Du Jinning arched his hand and smiled.

Hu Yuanwai and Zhou Lizheng's bodies trembled.

Father-in-law? Except for the castrated eunuchs in the palace, no one dared to call people by this title. And the eunuchs can't even leave the palace without the emperor's approval.

In other words, this is a eunuch in the palace sent by the emperor?

Before the two of them could figure it out, the sixty-year-old man stared at Hu Yuanwai and said with a smile: "Wang Hailin is your brother-in-law?" The old man didn't know that his brother-in-law had such a big shelf, so we had to put down our official business and talk to you and chat. ”

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, old man Wu Zheng, the Ministry of Works." He said again.
