Before Qiao Jingjing left Juancheng, she was slapped hard by her elderly mother.

When Qiao's mother returned from Cao Cao's banquet, she was so angry that her hands were trembling.

His neck was covered in bulging veins.

"You! You! You!"

Mrs. Joe was furious.

Her dream of marrying Cao Mengde was shattered. It was ruined by her own good daughter, Qiao Jingjing!

"I told you to perform well! Is this how you perform? None of the young masters are good, and you are? Look at your face, look at your disfigured face. Cao Mengde doesn't mind you and is willing to let you choose one, so go ahead and choose!"

Qiao's mother cried and jumped around, pointing at Qiao Jingjing and cursing her.

"You ungrateful wretch! You want me to go to Lujiang with you? Let me tell you, if I don't go, I'll die right here! You've completely disgraced me! Back in the day, I was the most beautiful woman in Luoyang, my fame spread far and wide. Countless young noblemen and princes came to visit me, my family's door was always packed with carriages and people. Countless noblemen and princes lost their appetites for me and remained unmarried for life..."

However, Qiao Jingjing remained resolute despite being beaten.

I am determined to leave Juancheng and return to Lujiang.

Because autumn has arrived, her mulberry orchards, rice paddies, and fishponds are about to yield a bountiful harvest.

My mother is from a wealthy social circle, while she is from a rural social circle; it's normal for their ideologies to differ.

When he left, Cao Cao personally saw him off.

"If you need any help, write a letter," Cao Cao said to Qiao Jingjing.

Qiao Jingjing smiled and waved. What could she possibly need help with?

She doesn't fight or fight for territory, and she doesn't want to dominate a region.

"Lord Mengde, goodbye! Thank you. When I have money in the future, I will repay you a lot. I will bring you lots of delicious food from Lujiang and Moling, lots of delicious food that you have never tasted before! Thank you for helping me find my mother."

Inside the carriage, Mrs. Qiao's eyes were red with anger.

Hearing his eldest daughter's naive and presumptuous words, he got angry again.

My teeth are about to break.

“Madam, Da Qiao is a good child! Really. She is not like the children from the families you see in Luoyang and Juancheng. She is different from them and has her own ideas. But she has a truly good heart. Give her some time and believe me.”

Old Man Joe was still comforting his wife in the carriage.

Qiao Jingjing returned to the carriage.

Sit still obediently.

She doesn't hold a grudge against her mother for slapping her.

Although it really hurt, she tried her best to understand her elderly mother, knowing that her mother had never seen rebellious children in her life, and she didn't hold it against her.

After all, this was her elderly mother whom she hadn't seen for many years.

Getting along takes time. Falling in love takes even more time.

Back in Lujiang.

Qiao Jingjing had a bumper harvest without any doubt, and the entire city of Lujiang also had a bumper harvest.

Qiao Jingjing fulfilled the promise she made to Liu Xun: the grain yield doubled.

After the autumn harvest, agricultural officials estimated the amount of grain produced by each farmer and landlord, and for those that could not be measured, they found that the yield had more than doubled compared to the previous year.

In addition, there are crucian carp and shrimp raised in the rice paddies.

If we release the ducks into the paddy fields now, the harvest will be excellent by winter.

Prefect Liu was overjoyed and personally convened a meeting of agricultural officials, where he praised Qiao Jingjing and the Qiao family.

He also rewarded Qiao Jingjing with two catties of gold on the spot and presented the Qiao family with a plaque.

Agriculture is paramount.

Qiao Jingjing was very happy to have achieved such success after all her hard work.

She is a very content person, knowing that life is full of disappointments, and that no one can have everything or get all the benefits.

She was content as long as she could reap the rewards from farming.

She really didn't care what other people thought of her.

These people are just spreading rumors that she and Prefect Liu are not very close, saying that Prefect Liu divorced his wife for her sake, and that she has an exceptionally strong destiny.

It's said that when she was discussing marriage with Lu Kang's family, Lu Kang's nephews and nieces were either killed or injured. Later, that domineering and cruel Sun also offered her a position, but then, nothing came of it.

In the meantime, Qiao Jingjing disappeared without a trace for a while, and her whereabouts remain a question mark.

Those stories must be quite fascinating.

Such a complex and wonderful story, and yet it receives praise.

Who can blame them for being such a skilled farmer!

Those watching the spectacle thought that after Prefect Liu took office, he would make trouble for the Qiao family, and that they would suffer greatly. But it turned out the Qiao family was truly capable and could handle the situation. Prefect Liu even rewarded them with two catties of gold!

Two pounds of gold.

How many generations would it take for an ordinary family to accumulate enough gold to have two pounds of gold?

The surrounding people enjoyed the joy of the year's harvest while using the farming methods and techniques that Qiao Jingjing had taught them to store grain, raise silkworms to harvest cocoons, and raise ducks to make salted duck eggs.

On one hand, I felt a pang of sadness.

Salted duck eggs are now being sold everywhere in the market.

They all brew rice wine, cloudy wine, and clear wine. Mulberry fruits are also soaked in the clear wine.

In short, they all learned the same methods that Qiao Jingjing knew.

Nowadays, almost every household has chickens and ducks.

Every household has crucian carp, carp, and grass carp.

Every household has plenty of grain.

We can't finish it all, we can't finish it all, we simply can't finish it all!

Even excluding the portion paid as tribute, the grain that everyone contributed had already filled the granaries of Prefect Liu and the entire city of Lujiang to bursting.

There are still some left to pack.

Nevertheless, people generally felt that Qiao Jingjing's personal conduct was flawed.

Rumors are circulating that someone has taken over the household affairs of the Qiao family, and the steward has become more flamboyant.
