Qiao Lian'er explained, "Because this place is too far from the north. Your Lianzhou is closer to the central region, so you might know more about the situation in the north."
“We, the common people of the South, always worry about whether the Emperor is healthy and well. We hope that the Emperor will enjoy boundless happiness and longevity. We also know that the North has been constantly harassed by the northern tribes, and we hope for peace and tranquility.”
Pei Zhujin was even more surprised, never expecting that such a young girl, at such a young age, would have such a righteous heart.
He thought about it and realized what Qiao Lian'er meant.
She was asking these questions because she wanted to know if the north was peaceful and the capital was stable, since the imperial court was in the north, and only if the north was doing well would the south be doing well.
Especially those of them who are in business, they don't want any changes.
Pei Zhujin smiled faintly. It was rare to see a girl from a farming family so young and so intelligent.
He said, "Everything is fine. The situation is proceeding smoothly and in an orderly manner, just as always. Miss Qiao, please feel free to manage everything."
When Pei Zhujin said this, Qiao Lian'er noticed his expression; he wasn't lying to her.
She asked these questions to the two brothers because she could tell from their demeanor that they came from a big city.
My mother's family is in Lianzhou, but what about my father's family?
If there are any major developments, they are probably the first to get the news.
Qiao Lian'er lowered her eyelids. In the world she came from, she had lived for nearly thirty years and was able to tell whether a person was telling the truth. That uncle did not seem to be lying at all.
Pei Zhujin was the same; although he was young, he was more mature and sincere because he was the older brother.
Or perhaps it's because the two brothers are too young and know nothing about these things.
Suddenly, something occurred to Qiao Lian'er, and a thought struck her.
"How long have you been out?"
“It’s been four or five months. We’ve traveled all over the southern country. It’s time to go back,” Pei Zhujin said.
"Wow, it's just sightseeing?"
“It’s not just that. Our family sent my brother and me out to gain experience and see how things are going, such as how the business is doing, how the crops are growing, and whether the yield of mulberry and hemp has increased.”
Pei Zhujin didn't think there was anything wrong with these things and told them all.
Qiao Lian'er immediately became alert, as she had unexpectedly run into two people who were checking on supplies in the South.
They had been out for four or five months and had gained a general understanding of the various regions.
Of course, their families must be keeping it from them why they were invited to see these things.
Otherwise, Pei Zhujin would not have been so frank.
They didn't know what the older man was talking about because they had been outside for too long.
When they get back, they'll definitely get some new information.
Qiao Lian'er tapped her little finger on the table.
Of course, she couldn't stop the two from going back and tell them the truth about the situation in the South.
Even if it's not them, someone else will come.
“Young Master Pei, we businessmen only seek stability. It’s not easy for ordinary people to live a peaceful life. If you hear any bad news when you go back, could you write me a letter?”
