Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?
Chapter 283 Wonderful Gift
It was Mr. Duan San and a young and beautiful woman, and he presented a gift list.
"Commander Ning, my husband and I are here on behalf of Young Master Ning to present you with a gift."
Ning Zhiwei raised his eyebrows. Can the Duan family already represent the Seventh Young Master Ning?
She took the gift list and glanced at it. It was a long list of wolf and fox skins, rare mountain treasures, live chickens, ducks, sheep, etc., filling up several carts.
Several children also received gifts, a piece of calligraphy or a picture they drew themselves. Although simple, it was a token of their love.
"Thank you for your hard work. Is everything okay at home?"
Third Young Master Duan bowed his hands, with a humble and respectful attitude, "Everything is fine. Seventh Young Master Ning can now walk like a normal person. The old lady and the women are in good health, and the children are also doing well."
"That's good." Ning Zhiwei asked about the child's study and life, and Mr. Duan San was unable to answer.
He could not enter the inner house of the Ning family. Those children were the Ning family's treasures and were never shown to others easily.
Ning Zhi smiled, feeling satisfied. No matter what happened outside, the children were well protected.
In fact, she placed someone next to each child, just in case.
We can know any disturbance at any time, and if anyone dares to touch the children, their hands will be chopped off.
She looked at the young woman. She was not the weak and frail type, but full of energy, with a strong figure and a bright smile. It was obvious at first glance that she was not a daughter of a wealthy family in the capital.
"When did Third Master Duan get married? Which daughter did he marry?"
Third Master Duan looked at the woman beside him tenderly, "We got married last month. My wife is the younger sister of Lord Ji, the military commander of Yumen Pass."
Lord Ji, the city garrison? Although Ning Zhiwei moved the government office here, he still retained the local officials and the city garrison.
Lord Ji is a member of the Ning family army. He is a man of integrity. Unexpectedly, he married his sister to the young master of the Duan family. This was a bit beyond her expectations.
Ji looked at Ning Zhiwei with sparkling eyes and bowed, "My concubine greets Commander Ning."
Ning Zhiwei smiled slightly, "Get up, your brother is upright and very old-fashioned. I didn't expect you to be so lively."
Ji said with a smile, "I am the youngest daughter in the family. My parents and family love me so much that I am inevitably lively. It is my blessing to meet Commander Ning today."
Ning Zhiwei was a little surprised that he was sincere. After thinking for a while, she took out a pair of pearl hairpins and said, "Congratulations on your wedding. This is a wedding gift for you."
Ji narrowed his eyes and smiled, very happy. Hey, Commander Ning is really a very good person. "Thank you, Commander Ning."
Seeing that the two of them were chatting happily, Mr. Duan San was a little surprised. Ning Zhiwei was not a person who was easy to talk to. Did he catch her eye?
"Coach Ning, we have another important matter on this trip."
He said directly, "I heard that the miracle doctor from Medicine King Valley appeared at Yumen Pass. Ning Qishao wants to invite him to Yumen Pass to treat the old lady. I would like to ask Commander Ning to lend a hand."
The old lady suffered a stroke and her health condition was getting worse, but she only reported good news and not bad news to Ning Zhiwei, and Ning Zhiwei pretended not to know.
Ning Zhiwei looked at him deeply, "The miracle doctor from Medicine King Valley? What's his name?"
Third Master Duan thought for a moment and said, "Lin Lie."
Everyone looked over at once. Duan Sangong noticed something unusual and became a little panicked. What happened?
Ning Zhiwei said calmly, "Oh, you're a step too late. He just poisoned a large group of guards and broke out holding hostages."
"What?" Third Master Duan was shocked. "What's going on?"
Ning Zhiwei said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, it's just that Lin Lie has evil intentions and approached me in an attempt to usurp the throne."
Mr. Duan San couldn't believe it. Was he crazy? "Is he mistaken? How can he, a doctor, have such great ambitions?"
The miracle doctor in Yaowang Valley is essentially just a doctor. Isn’t it a joke that a doctor wants power?
Ning Zhiwei said calmly, "To sleep on a beautiful woman's lap while drunk and to hold the power of the world when awake, isn't that the ultimate dream of you men?"
"Uh."
Ning Si suddenly stood up and said, "Okay, it's my turn to present the gift."
Ning Zhiwei looked over and said, "Fourth sister, what good things have you prepared?"
Ning Si waved his hand, and two men came in carrying a wooden object.
"This is a threshing machine. I hired a skilled craftsman to make it. The pedal pulls the flywheel, which in turn drives the gears..." Note (1)
Ning Si briefly introduced the principle, but most people did not understand.
I only understood one thing, that it is used to thresh rice? Nowadays, farmers have to thresh rice grains by hand, one by one, and their hands are almost useless after a day of threshing. It is tiring and hard work.
Ning Si demonstrated it on the spot. He just stepped on the pedal, grabbed a handful of rice and put it in. After a while, the grains came out from the other end.
Everyone was stunned. This was too magical. It was hundreds of times better than manual labor.
Ning Liu rushed over excitedly, "Let me try it too."
She pushed her fourth sister aside and clumsily followed her example, stepping on the pedal. She was a little unsure at first, but quickly adjusted herself.
Watching the grains falling like raindrops, Ning Liu was overjoyed, "Ah, I can thresh the grains now. This is so light and labor-saving."
"Fifth sister, this thresher is really great, come and try it out."
Ning Zhiwei's talents lie in leading troops in battle and using his wisdom, but he doesn't know much about farming.
However, we still understand the principle that food is the most important thing and agriculture is the foundation.
Agriculture is the foundation of a country. No matter what you do, you must have food first.
She came over and imitated them, and quickly learned it. It was not difficult to learn.
Her heart was suddenly filled with joy. With such a thresher, a lot of manpower could be saved.
"How much does this threshing machine cost?"
Ning Si explained clearly, "One tael of silver, most of it is made of wood, only the flywheel and gear are made of iron."
"I plan to do this. First, I will sell it to the government for one tael and two coins of silver to recover the cost."
"The second is rent. The rent is ten cents a day. Even the poorest village can afford ten cents."
Ning Zhiwei nodded as she listened. This fourth sister was extremely talented in farming.
"Fourth sister, you are great, very amazing."
Ning Si is a very calm and introverted person. Before, she just wanted to hide among her sisters and not stand out. But now it is different. She is brimming with confidence.
"I don't want to be outdone by my sisters. This is my way."
Everyone has his own way. Ning Zhiwei's way is in the world, Ning Wenyin's way is in business, and her way is in agriculture.
Looking at the radiant Ning Si, Ning Zhiwei's lips curled up slightly.
It's really all different.
Ning Si, who committed suicide in her previous life to preserve her innocence and died tragically early, now has a dream and a goal to strive for, and no longer just regards getting married as her ultimate goal.
She is working hard for her dream and shining.
Ning Si smiled at her, then turned to look at Ning Liu, "Xiao Liu, it's your turn now."
Now, the pressure shifted to Ning Liu, and Ning Liu remained silent.
The women of Da Qi refuse to admit defeat!
If you want to do it, do it big time!
