Since Song Laosan is already in this state, she wants to see what kind of trouble he can still cause.
Pei Shijiu looked at her calm face, her brows revealing a hint of decisive ruthlessness, as if she could decide the course of many events with the slightest movement of her finger.
Now she has grown into a young woman, shedding her former childishness and becoming increasingly beautiful and dashing, as if she were a queen.
He wasn't interested in delicate, gentle women, but the person in front of him fascinated him. He didn't know if it was innate or if he had changed after meeting Qiao Lian'er.
This feeling grows stronger with age.
Thinking that Qiao Lian'er was not yet fifteen years old, Pei Shijiu lowered his eyelids again.
The wine was warming on the stove. After drinking two cups, he felt a warmth in his abdomen and got up to leave.
"Take the lychees back with you, and don't tell anyone." Qiao Lian'er had prepared a box of lychees for him.
These lychees are typically only available in the summer in southern China, but she planted them out of season in her space.
She had taken out the lychees a month ago; she didn't intend to use them for profit, but only to present them to the emperor.
Historical records state that even the emperor and his concubines could not easily enjoy a few lychees, let alone others. She did this precisely to correspond with the historical records, allowing the emperor to further experience the scarcity and uniqueness of this delicacy.
In this way, the emperor would be even more grateful to her.
She's been busy training her troops for the past month, and only now does she have time to prepare lychees for the Pei family.
Pei Shijiu ate one, and his eyes lit up immediately. He liked durian, but he didn't particularly like it. However, this thing burst with juice when you bit into it, and it was fresh and sweet, like milk pudding breaking in your mouth. It was exactly what he liked.
"It seems you don't sell this thing called lychee."
"It is offered only to the Emperor."
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on the young man's face, and his tone softened and warmed: "Besides the Emperor and my family, it's our Pei family who will have to eat."
Qiao Lian'er waved her hand generously: "There's more after you finish eating, don't be shy with me."
Carrying a large box of lychees, Pei Shijiu boarded the carriage, leaning back in his seat with a smile that he couldn't suppress appearing on his lips from time to time.
When Qiao Lian'er had some free time, she went to Datian Village and Yuezhou City to deliver lychees to her family.
If it's just restocking, she doesn't need to go in person. She just needs to select the address on the network, then select the type and quantity of goods, click "arrive," and the goods will be delivered to the warehouse.
But she wanted to see her family in person.
Qiao Li and Qiao Yue are already one year old and are taking their first steps.
With careful nurturing, the two little ones are fair and tender, like they were made of lotus root. When they smile, their soft and sweet smiles are very endearing.
"Coo coo, coo coo." They stretched out their little arms and followed her, swaying back and forth.
Qiao Lian'er picked them up easily, one in each arm.
The Qiao family members are naturally strong, and she often does strength training at the camp, so her physical fitness is getting better and better.
Lingyin laughed and said, "You haven't even learned to call me 'father' or 'mother' yet, but you've already learned to call me 'aunt'."
"This shows that even the two little babies know who is the most powerful and who is the backbone of our Qiao family," said Old Mrs. Qiao.
Everyone was laughing.
After spending a few days in Datian Village and a few days at the Chu family's residence, Qiao Lian'er returned to the capital.
The first thing to do was to check on Ponda's condition.
