One year brought a great drought, the next year floods, and then, in a blink, a plague.
The Xu family fled from the north to the south, and then from the south back to the north.
Before...
The Grand Minister of Agriculture pestered Xu Ning for a few days, and the Xu family knew what was going on.
What Grand Minister of Agriculture Qin Wen wants is Xu Ning's secret, and the Xu family will definitely not help him speak up.
Pei Jiao and the others are also half members of the Xu family. Although they don't know what is being discussed between Xu Ning and the Minister of Agriculture, they will not use their own ideas to interfere.
"Xu Ning, why are you so stubborn? This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people!" After lunch, the sun was shining brightly, so Xu Ning dragged the lounge chair from the house to the yard and lay comfortably in the sun. Seeing this, the Minister of Agriculture moved a small stool and started chanting his Tang Monk scriptures again.
"Old man Qin, why does this good thing that benefits the country and the people happen to me?" If time could go back to before she set off for home, Xu Ning would definitely change her mind and would never bring this old man back with her even if she was beaten to death.
"Hey! Are you asking questions without knowing the answer?" The Grand Minister of Agriculture's beard twitched. Xu Ning turned his head to look at him with some impatience.
"You say I'm stubborn, but aren't you the most stubborn? Why don't you think about whether this seed can survive in this land?"
"How can the crops fail with me here?" This is the pride of being the Minister of Agriculture. Although he is not the most professional, his thirty years have not been in vain.
"Okay, then even if it can be planted, can it still be so productive? And, Qin Wen, have you ever thought about the price I'll have to pay for taking this thing out? What if I break the rules and die?"
Xu Ning spoke very clearly. For a moment, the Grand Minister of Agriculture opened his mouth but could not make a sound. There was some fear in his eyes. At this moment, he seemed to realize that he had taken everything for granted.
He was eager to verify whether Xu Ning had a golden finger, and he didn't even think about what she would face once Xu Ning's specialness was discovered by more people.
Aren’t high-yield crops a treasure? But can those who possess them withstand the evil human nature they will face?
The Minister of Agriculture was confused, and the wound that had almost healed began to hurt violently.
Xu Ning looked at him covering his wound and helplessly called Pei Jiao over, and she took the brothers Xu An and Xu Feng to the town.
Originally, Old Lady Xu didn't want her to run around recently, but she was annoyed by the Grand Minister of Agriculture's energy, so when Xu Ning suggested going for a walk in the town, Old Lady Xu agreed without hesitation.
"It's cold both morning and evening. You have to come back half an hour before dark." Old Mrs. Xu was afraid that Xu Ning would forget the time while playing, so she gave her another instruction before she left.
"Don't worry, grandma. I'm just going to tell Boss Hai. I haven't told him the news in the past few days since I came back!"
"Dabao, take good care of your sister and come back early."
"Grandson knows, grandma, please come into the house!"
…
"Second sister, can't we let the Grand Minister of Agriculture go? He's so annoying!" As soon as he got on the carriage, Xu Feng went close to Xu Ning. The Grand Minister of Agriculture had been pestering Xu Ning these past few days, and even he couldn't get close to him, so he had been full of resentment.
"Xiaobao, he's the Minister of Agriculture, an official. Do you think our family can afford to offend him?"
"But he can't bully you like this!" Xu Feng was so angry that his face puffed up. He wanted to open his mouth to retort him several times, but Zhang held him back.
Xu An also felt helpless, because the Grand Minister of Agriculture was not only an official, but also someone Old Lady Xu knew. However, he was also planning to take advantage of Xu Ning. The Xu family didn't know what to do for a while, but judging from Xu Ning's attitude today, it was clear that he had refused. They just didn't know what would happen when he returned this time.
In fact, the Xu family is all watching Xu Ning's attitude. As long as Xu Ning is unwilling, then it won't work!
No matter whether he is the Minister of Agriculture or the Minister of War, family is the most important!
"He can't bully me, Xiaobao. How can your second sister be so fragile? If I don't agree, can he still snatch her away by force?"
"But, second sister, what if he tells others about you and the immortal?"
"Just say it. He has a mouth. Why should I care about him?" She doesn't care about what others think. She only cares about her relatives and friends who trust her and love her wholeheartedly.
