"Don't cry, don't cry." Tian threw away the broom, picked up Erniu and brushed the dust off her. "I'll beat him to death later. Let's see if he dares to call you ugly again."

Tian pulled a handkerchief from her waist and wiped her tears. She held her face and looked at it for a while, frowning and said, "Tsk, it's really a bit ugly to be caught like this."

Erniu's sobbing, which had weakened, suddenly rose again. She broke away from Tian and ran to the west room crying. Sanniu followed her, "It's okay, second sister. Mother will be fine after applying the medicine."

"What medicine are you applying?" Jian Ning, who was swinging a spatula in the kitchen, turned around and glanced at Erniu and Sanniu who were walking towards him. "Don't you like to fight? You apply it today, but it will be scratched again tomorrow. Don't waste the medicine as soon as possible."

"Mom, let's not fight anymore." Sanniu said.

"Tell it to Yuanbao, and see if Yuanbao believes you."

Erniu's face was about to rot, and Sanniu hurriedly took her hand and said, "Second sister, let's go find Sister Qiaofeng. Sister Qiaofeng can also fix it. Come on, I'll take you there."

She took Erniu away.

After Jian Ning finished stir-frying the cabbage, Huo Jincheng and the others returned from the fields. The hybrid beans had grown faster than they had expected and could be harvested in another two weeks, without affecting the early rice planting. Huo Jincheng's previous annoyance had been swept away by the joy of the impending harvest.

He had one hand behind his back and was gesturing with the other, saying something to Weidong, his face full of excitement.

When he walked to the corridor, he saw Ding Youtian coming from the west room with a jar of wine. He greeted him with a smile and raised the jar in his hand, saying, "Let's get drunk today."

"Okay, I'll drink you to death today." He followed Ding Youtian into the cafeteria, and the two of them started talking and laughing again.

After a while, the food was served. Master Ding San came forward and saw his two sons sitting in the dining hall. Ding Yang was still pouring wine for everyone. His face darkened, thinking that his two sons were too ignorant. There were so many people eating, and even Jian Ning was not at the table. He ate in the kitchen with Tian Shi and others. How could they have a seat here?

He was about to yell at them to go back to the kitchen and eat some rice, and not to get so arrogant and rude as to not know their own weight, but he glared at them, and before he could finish his words, Ding Youtian came out and saw him. Without saying a word, he also dragged him into the cafeteria and pushed him onto a chair.

When Mr. Ding San saw someone standing behind Weidong, he thought it was his servant. Thinking that he and his son were also Ding Youtian's helpers, he hurriedly called his two sons to get up again.

"Uncle San, just sit down and relax." Ding Youtian pushed him down again. "You are the elder of the clan. Uncle Wei and the others are my honored guests. How can I not accompany you?"

"Hey, I'm just a country bumpkin. How can I be on equal footing with Brother Wei and Master Huo, who are both very powerful? If you don't know, I'll think I don't know etiquette."

Mr. Ding Sanye was really a little frightened. Huo Jincheng's deposit this time was over a thousand taels of silver notes, and he was a man who even the prefect had to give some face to. He really didn't know what kind of virtue his ancestors had accumulated to be able to dine at the same table with such a great god of wealth.

"Third Uncle." Huo Jincheng stood up, pointed at Wei Dong, and said with a smile: "Today I will introduce you again. This is my master, the chief steward of the Crown Prince's palace. My father is the current imperial tutor, and I am a first-rank sword-bearing guard in the imperial palace."

"Bang!" Uncle Ding San fell to the ground with a thud, his legs going limp with fear.

Oh my God, is he dreaming? He scratched his ears, wondering if he had misheard.

Ding Yang and Ding Jian were so surprised that they could fit an egg in their mouths.

It's no wonder they were surprised. The palace was really too far away from their lives. Suddenly, the prince's tutor, the sword-wielding guards and so on appeared before their eyes, and they really had no idea what to do.

After Mr. Ding Sanye was helped up, he turned to look at Ding Youtian and saw that he looked calm, obviously he already knew their true identities.

Oh my God, what good luck did the fourth boy from Old Ding's family have that he even stepped into the palace?

Huo Jincheng revealed his true identity because even if he didn't, it wouldn't be long before everyone in Dingjia Village knew. The Emperor had already ordered the Ministry of Revenue to send officials to Dingjia Village to learn about hybrid grain cultivation. He also ordered Dingjia Village to send representatives to accompany the Ministry of Revenue officials to various locations throughout Dayan State to promote and teach hybrid grain cultivation.

"Mom, mom, it's a big deal." Ma Xiaomai and his brother squatted on the porch, holding their bowls of rice. After hearing what Huo Jincheng said, they ran into the kitchen and told Tian and the others everything they had heard. "There are also high-ranking officials coming to our village, and our village will send people to other places to promote hybrid grains. Will the emperor come to our village in the future?"

"What about your dream wife?" Tian knocked him on the head with a chopstick. "You can see the emperor? What? The emperor? Did you just say the emperor?"

Tian realized it belatedly and looked at Jian Ning with a bewildered look on her face.

Jian Ning smiled and said, "We ordinary people just need to live a peaceful life. As for other things, it's not our turn to worry about them."

"Yes, yes, we ordinary people should just live our own lives." Tian came to her senses and waved her hand, saying, "Who cares if the emperor comes or not? Even if he does, it has nothing to do with us ordinary people."

"It's unlikely that the emperor will come here. At most, a few officials from the capital will come. I'm afraid our village will be very lively in the future. Your escort agency is a good choice. I sell wine here, and you won't have to worry about lack of business."

"Oh, that's great! This is all thanks to my sister. Now I know that you are the great benefactor of our family and the lucky star of our entire village."

They were overjoyed to hear this. Yue'e and Qiaofeng silently ate their rice, their bowls in hand. Both looked a little uneasy. Yue'e, in particular, had suspected that Ah Man was the daughter of the Saint they were looking for, ever since Tian mentioned her. After Huo Jincheng arrived, she secretly felt relieved that she had made the right decision to stay with Jian Ning.

She was thinking of finding an opportunity to ask Huo Jincheng, but she didn't expect that he was actually a sword-bearing guard in the palace. Her people were killed or fled because of the current emperor. How could the saint marry a sword-bearing guard in the palace?

Yue'e was a little unsure.

In the dining hall, Mr. Ding San ate a bowl of rice absentmindedly, threw the bowl away, and left with the excuse of having to feed the horses. As he stood up, Ding Yang and Ding Jian also put down their bowls.

Next to the stable, Master Ding San gave his two sons a serious and earnest admonition, "You two have to understand this: we're just helping out your fourth brother's family. The master treats us like human beings, so we dare not cheat or act dishonestly. Be grateful and repay the kindness you receive. Follow your fourth brother's lead, okay?"

Chang came over with a half-full bowl of leftovers to feed the chickens. Hearing Mr. Ding's words, she glanced toward the stables and thought to herself, if Ding Pingshun had Mr. Ding's understanding, her family wouldn't have to worry about their current life. How could he have died so young?

It can be seen that as a human being, you must have a righteous heart and cannot lose your conscience no matter what!

She sighed and headed towards the chicken coop.
