Chapter 308: Pretending
Originally, Xie Qiping thought that this vine was just a sweet potato!
Then, I saw my servants rummaging through the field, and immediately they found six or seven sweet potatoes of about the same size.
In other words, under such a nest of sweet potato vines, at least a dozen sweet potatoes have grown.
Xie Qiping is not a person who is not familiar with farming at all, he looked at the interval between each nest of sweet potato vines, and then counted how many ridges of land there were in an acre of land.
immediately calculated the approximate number, and was secretly surprised in his heart, the yield per mu was two thousand catties, and the Ning family was really not lying!
Although he didn't understand what was going on over there in Li Weishan.
However, now that he has discovered this matter, it is naturally impossible to let such a thing that is beneficial to the court and the people be so obscure.
However, he worries that there may be so many sweet potatoes under this nest of sweet potato vines.
Therefore, regardless of Ning Pengpeng and Jiang Luochun's obstruction, he snatched the hoe in the hands of the people in the Zhuangzi, and dug out all these sweet potatoes according to the posture that Jiang Luochun had just dug up.
By the time all this acre of land was dug up, the palms of Xie Qiping's hands holding the hoe had been ground red.
But he didn't feel any pain at all, and when he looked at the baskets full of sweet potatoes, his mouth couldn't close with a smile.
Ning Pengpeng saw Lord Futai like this, knowing this wave, stable!
Sure enough, after the excitement passed, Xie Qiping calmed down.
If he said before, he felt that there was no need to offend Lai Xingchun, who had the third prince as the backstage, for the sake of the insignificant Ning family.
But now, as long as he presents the Ning family's new crop of sweet potatoes to the royal front, it is not a problem to add officials to the knighthood, and the holy favor is the most important thing.
After all, whether it is the second prince or the third prince, they are still just a prince now!
It is the saints of today who are truly in charge of their own affairs.
"Ning, would you like to go to Beijing with me?"
After Xie Qiping thought about it, he asked Ning Pengpeng.
"The Ning clan is subject to Lord Futai's arrangement."
Ning Pengpeng's posture was very low, and this Lord Futai was willing to take her to Beijing, probably only because he was not very familiar with how to grow this sweet potato.
Otherwise, she would definitely not be given a chance to take credit.
After all, after going to Kyoto at that time, Lord Futai only needs to say one word, it was discovered by a peasant woman under his jurisdiction, and the emperor must have put the credit on Lord Futai, and praised her as a peasant woman at most!
Ning Pengpeng has been in the real estate class for so many years, and she still has the eye to see people.
This Lord Futai, although not as good as the prefect, is definitely not the kind of person who is Li Xianling.
Thinking of Li County's decision to apply for a commendation for himself, several years have passed now, and there has been no movement, so I know that Li County's order has no sense of existence in front of the people above.
Hearing Ning's interest, Xie Qiping couldn't help but nodded.
Since the other party sent such a credit to his hands, he naturally would not ignore the matter of Ning Mansion again.
The abbot of Dajue Temple, as early as when Xie Qiping was digging sweet potatoes, when he looked at the basket of sweet potatoes carried to the edge of the ridge, Rao was a person from outside the square, and he couldn't help but burst into tears. ….
Trembling stretched out his hand and touched the sweet potatoes in these baskets, this is the hope of the people in the future!
Xie Qiping finished washing his hands, straightened his robe, and then walked to his carriage, turning his head to look at Ning Pengpeng who was standing aside.
"Old Madam Ning, why don't you go back to the city together?"
"Thank you for your kindness, it's better to be respectful than to obey!"
A smile appeared on Ning Pengpeng's face, and he saluted Xie Qiping.
However, this time, she and Lord Futai sat in two carriages, with Lord Futai in front and her behind.
As for the abbot, Ning Pengpeng had already instructed Jiang Luochun to find another carriage in Zhuangzi and send him to Dajue Temple.
After Lai Xingchun got the news that the Ning family was suspected of not being in the house, he immediately greeted someone
Horse, rushing towards Ningfu.
Then at the door of the Ning Mansion, knock on the door and let the door open quickly.
But now in the Ning Mansion, there is no master at all.
Even the housekeeper of Najiang is not in the house.
Now there is no one else who can take care of things except Aunt Tan.
"Mother, how is this good?"
Zhu Cuihua was so frightened that her face was pale, and she looked at her mother-in-law with a sad face.
Aunt Tan gritted her teeth, in this Mingzhou Mansion, except for the Yang family and the people in the mansion, they don't know what the old lady looks like.
The words that the old lady said to Feng Xu and his wife before did not avoid Aunt Tan.
Coupled with the boiling rumors spread by the Ning Mansion in the Mingzhou Mansion, the Ning family is afraid that something bad is coming!
But the son is still outside with the second master, and the old lady is not in the house now.
"Cuihua, when the door opens, do you remember to call me old lady, understand?"
Hearing her mother-in-law's words, Zhu Cuihua was directly stunned at the beginning, and then reacted, only to feel cold, like falling into an ice cellar.
"Mother, how can this be?
In case those officers and soldiers outside the gate want to arrest the old lady, how can it be?"
Zhu Cuihua pouted, knelt down in front of her mother-in-law, and tears fell down.
Since she married Liu Hu, Aunt Tan, who is a mother-in-law, treats her daughter-in-law like a daughter.
Now how can she watch her mother-in-law go to death, thinking of the word death, Zhu Cuihua couldn't cry, shook her head again and again, unwilling to agree.
"Cuihua, my mother didn't ask you for anything.
This time, I'm begging you.
You remember, if your mother is taken away, you should hurry out of the city, go to the old lady, and ask her not to go back to the city!"
"No, mother, no.
Even if I call you old lady, everyone in the house knows the old lady's appearance!"
Hearing her daughter-in-law's words, Aunt Tan reached out and touched the top of her head.
"Cuihua, they are all descendants who have sold the death contract.
As long as the deed is in the old lady's hands, even if it is me who is caught, they will be smart enough to shut up."
After speaking, Aunt Tan turned around and entered Ning Pengpeng's room.
She is the one who serves Ning Pengpeng closely, so she naturally knows what Ning Pengpeng's clothes, shoes and usual hairstyle look like.
Soon he got dressed up, and walked out of the old lady's room.
Not to mention, because although Aunt Tan has been serving Ning Pengpeng in the past few years, her life has been smooth, and under her wide heart and fat body, she wears the clothes of the old lady and dresses up like this, and at first glance, she looks like a rich wife.
Sure enough, when Aunt Tan walked to the gate of the courtyard in the old lady's clothes, those subordinates looked at her with shocked expressions.
It's just that Du Cleverly didn't ask, just looked at each other, lowered his head deeply, and pretended not to see it.
"Open the door."
Listening to the sound of the door constantly shouting to open the door, Aunt Tan pursed her lips and commanded Zhu Cuihua.
