"Miss Han, why are you staring at me? Are you afraid that I might do something bad to you?"

Han Yian clasped her hands across her chest with a smile on her lips. With her skills, Lin Ting couldn't deal with her.

"No, I was thinking. You said your name is Lin Ting and you just arrived in Beijing. So where is your home?"

If Lin Ting guessed correctly, this Miss Han should be General Han’s only daughter, and Lin Ting had heard a little about her.

"My husband's family lives in a small village in Wenzhu County, in the past of Minzhou..."

"Is it Wushan Village? I know you..." Before Lin could finish listening, Han Yian rushed to speak.

“So you are Lin Ting, the lady Lin who planted the corn you grew. Hahahaha… So it really is you!

You have no idea how happy my father and I were ever since we learned that corn could be used as a staple food, could be grown in dry land, and could be produced twice a year.

This year they planted corn on the border, and the soldiers ate corn, and the horses ate corn leaves and stalks, so the whole army no longer had to go hungry."

Han Yian moved closer to Lin Ting, and his endless words were all filled with joy.

If it weren't for Lin Ting, no one would have thought of growing corn to eat, and it was only thanks to her planting techniques that corn was able to be grown.

If it were to grow freely, even if all the corn was peeled off in the experimental fields in the capital, there might not be a single plate of corn left.

They listened to Han Yian talking all the way and soon arrived at Qulou. Han Yian naturally and familiarly put his arm around Lin Ting's arm.

"Madam Lin, let me tell you, from now on in the capital, if anyone dares to bully you, just come find me. I'm going to tell everyone that you, and Hua Yan, are protected by me, Han Yian."

Lin Ting: "It's better to obey than to be respectful!"

Lin Ting smiled and followed her upstairs. The waiter brought the menu and said respectfully.

"What would you two like to eat?"

Lin Ting made a gesture of invitation to Han Yian, meaning that he wanted her to have some.

Han Yian was not polite and picked up the recipe and said to Lin Ting.

"Mrs. Lin, their eight-treasure duck is really good. How about having one?"

"I also can!"

Han Yian ordered some dishes with Beijing characteristics. Lin Ting looked at the prices on the menu and found that they were not very expensive.

Han Yian's secret concern for her made Lin Ting like her even more.

"Mrs. Lin, you're so good at growing corn, so are you able to grow a lot of other things? For example, rice and wheat? Do you have any techniques to increase yields?"

If Dongxia Kingdom had abundant grain, the border town army would not be afraid of Xiluo, Han Yian thought, and her father would be able to come back soon.

"If you want higher yields of rice and wheat, besides choosing high-quality seeds, the most important thing is pollination. As long as you control it well, you won't have to worry about not having high yields."

After Lin Ting instructed Shen Dali to do this this year, their family's rice yield increased from 500 dan per acre to 800 dan per acre this year.

It is thanks to the knowledge she has learned and her control over rice flowering that she can achieve such a high yield.

Han Yian's eyes lit up when she heard Lin Ting's words. She knew that the woman she admired would not be that simple.

"So, Madam Lin, you have this technology, right? Then can you share it with the people of Dongxia? They..."

Han Yian paused, feeling a little embarrassed to continue.

This is Lin Ting's own technology. If she shared it for free, she would be at a great loss. Han Yian has nothing to exchange with Lin Ting, and she feels ashamed.

"Miss Han cares about the people, which is a blessing for the people of Dongxia. However, this technique was already recorded by Yu Da, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, last year. This year, officials from all over the country will definitely teach it to the people.

Dongxia Kingdom will soon have a new world, Miss Han, just wait and see."

"Is that Yu Kangle from the Ministry of Revenue, Lord Yu?"

Lin Ting nodded: "Yes! Lord Yu lived in my farm for a year last year."

As the two of them talked, time passed by unknowingly, and the dishes from Qulou were served.

But the person opposite looked at Lin Ting with shining eyes.

Han Yian thought that Lin Ting was a businessman who would put profit first, but Lord Yu was incorruptible and would definitely not give any money to Lin Ting.

But she was able to teach Lord Yu the corn planting techniques and rice planting techniques. How many people can be so open-minded?

Many people in the court were puzzled as to why the emperor would give a businessman like Lin Ting a house, a farm, and money.

Now Han Yian finally understood that compared to the things bestowed by the emperor, the technology in Lin Ting's hands was the real treasure, and it would be worth it even if he gave her twice as much.

Han Yian is not pretentious, and Lin Ting also likes to play with such people.

After eating and drinking her fill, Lin Ting asked the restaurant staff to pack up two more dishes for her to take back for Shen Qingzhou to try.

After leaving, Han Yian personally sent Lin Ting and the others back to the courtyard in Rongguang Lane.

"Mrs. Lin, do you live in this courtyard?"

This courtyard is much smaller than the Han family's general's mansion, but the decoration inside is very warm, unlike the general's mansion, which is cold.

"Yes, this is my home in Beijing. If you have time, Miss Han, you can come and visit me."

Lin Ting invited her sincerely. Besides Lin Lin and Madam Qu, Han Yian was the first friend she wanted to make in the capital.

"Okay! I'll definitely come and play with you when I'm free."

Han Yian thought for a moment, then looked at herself again. She didn't have any decorations on her body. Finally, she took off the tassel of her sword and showed it to Lin Ting.

"Madam Lin, this is my unique sword tassel. Look at the wolf fang on it. It's the fang of a wolf king my father killed in the border town.

If you are in danger in the future, or if you come to the General's Mansion to look for me, you can enter and leave the General's Mansion at any time with the sword tassel."

The wolf king's teeth are not easy to obtain, so Lin Ting accepted the kindness.

"I will take good care of this sword tassel of Miss Han."

Han Yian hung the sword back on her waist. In fact, she didn't have many friends in the capital. Everyone was learning music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she was the only woman who liked to wield swords and guns.

It's rare to meet someone as talented, smart, and similar to her like Lin Ting.

"Why call me Miss Han? Just call me Han Yian. We will be friends from now on."

It was the first time that Lin Ting saw someone making friends in this way, but she also really liked Han Yian.

"Then Yi'an, come to my yard and have a cup of tea before..."

"Hurry up, the lady is here..."

Lin Ting was just about to invite Han Yian to play in their yard for a while, but before she could finish her words, a dozen guards appeared from the other end of the alley, pointing at Han Yian in a menacing manner.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Han Yian turned around and ran with a puffed face, while not forgetting to talk to Lin Ting.

"Mrs. Lin, I'll come to see you next time. I'll run away first because of something..."

During the chat with Han Yian, Lin Ting learned that she ran away from home today.

Those who came to capture her were all masters trained by her father, just to keep an eye on Han Yian and let her learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting well.
