When Qiao Dacheng and Qiao Zhizhi woke up, they learned that Qiao Lian'er had already met with the emperor and had even bought a house.
After more than ten days of bumpy travel, their bones were exhausted. Once they were settled in, they relaxed immediately and slept for a long time.
Who would have thought that Lian'er, with such boundless energy, would accomplish these two important tasks so easily.
Qiao Dacheng said to Qiao Zhizhi, "General Guan once said something that I remember very well."
"What are you saying?"
"For a person to succeed, in addition to their own abilities, energy and enthusiasm are also very important. They must be decisive and efficient, as well as cautious and meticulous. When all these factors are combined in one person, they can reach a height that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve."
“Look, it’s only the first day we arrived. Lian’er hasn’t even had a proper rest yet, and he’s already going to meet the Emperor. For His Majesty, this shows more sincerity than if he had rested properly before going.”
Qiao Zhizhi also sighed, "So, Lian'er can command an additional two thousand soldiers. This is the Emperor's recognition of Lian'er."
Young and full of vigor, it is the age to strive and improve. We should seize every opportunity to continuously increase our strength, while maintaining a sense of awe.
This is the most worthwhile thing to learn from Lian'er.
Dinner was even more lavish than lunch, and the dishes were all new and varied. There were few dishes I could name. The aroma of the dishes had lost its strong, rustic flavor and gained a more refined and elegant taste, making them quite different from what I expected.
They also served a jar of century-old Daughter's Red wine that had been buried underground.
It was clear that the Pei family was doing their best to entertain the three siblings, treating them as very important guests.
She's just a county princess; even if she's talented, it's not worth the Pei family going to such lengths. The main reason is that the two young masters cherish this friendship, and Master Pei and Madam Pei also dote on the two young masters.
Moreover, the medicinal herbs that Qiao Lian'er provided were a great help to them, and the benefits were tangible.
Therefore, they treated this thirteen-year-old girl with great care.
Mr. Pei and Mrs. Pei were also at the table. Generally speaking, Mr. Pei was busy and usually ate in his study, while Mrs. Pei ate in her own courtyard.
On the first day, they naturally wanted to spend quality time with their guests.
The two already knew about the trip to meet the emperor.
They were all quite surprised to hear that the number of recruits had increased. It seemed that the Emperor's regard for Qiao Lian'er was beyond their imagination.
Putting aside the friendship between children, if she were to become a princess in the future, it would be of great benefit to the Pei family.
The Pei family has stood strong for over a hundred years, surviving generation after generation in the vortex of power struggles. They also value the benefits a person can bring to the Pei family.
In the eyes of Master Pei and Madam Pei, this time, by joining forces with Qiao Lian'er, they dealt a heavy blow to the Qiao and Qin families in the capital. She was someone who could bring good fortune to the Pei family, and they had already regarded her from the bottom of their hearts as someone who could cooperate with the Pei family in the long term.
“Miss Lian’er, you’ve only just arrived in the capital today, and you’ve already gone to meet the Emperor and bought a house. You must be exhausted. You should get some rest tonight and not wear yourself out,” said Madam Pei.
"Yes, thank you for your concern, Madam Pei. I'm not familiar with the capital, and the two young masters have been helping me with all this. They've had it even harder than I have," Qiao Lian'er said politely.
Madam Pei was very pleased to hear this: "Miss Qiao's speech must indicate that she has read a lot of books."
"I read some books occasionally."
"Your family is truly enlightened to allow a girl to study and learn to read and write. No wonder they were able to raise such a promising young lady like you." Madam Pei's tone was somewhat incredulous.
In rural farming families, girls generally have no opportunity to learn to read.
It can only be said that some people's fate is determined by heaven, and various coincidences and serendipity have pushed her to this point.
Such fortunate people also exist in the capital. No matter how the winds and rains change, or how unpredictable the situation becomes, these people miraculously avoid all kinds of sharp edges and dangers, and survive in the midst of fierce struggles.
