The Qiao family all understood the intentions of the second young master of the Pei family.
Qiao Xi'er also joked, "Young Master Pei is already so caring at such a young age, what will he be like when he grows up?"
She is now five months pregnant and is taking great care of herself this time, with the pregnancy progressing more steadily than her previous one.
“Our Qiao family’s sickle deserves to be liked by someone like Second Young Master Pei,” Da Meng said.
Lady Lü glanced at him and said, "What's this about liking or disliking? Your little sister Lian'er hasn't come of age yet, so say less if you have something to say."
"Oh." Da Meng shrank his neck.
Lian'er still has her hair styled like a young girl, but in this family, Lian'er makes many decisions. She has grown much taller and looks like a young lady now, so her family members always subconsciously treat her as an adult.
Qiao Lian'er said, "This is an agreement between me and Young Master Pei. He said he could train those deputy generals. Let's wait for his good news."
Everyone was a little surprised that Lian'er actually allowed the Second Young Master Pei to interfere in her internal affairs, which showed that Lian'er valued the Second Young Master Pei to some extent.
At least, following the right person makes a slight difference.
But if Lian'er wants to stay at home, will the Pei family agree to send Pei's second son to the Qiao family as a son-in-law?
Both of the Pei family's sons are so outstanding; I'm afraid Prince Pei and Princess Pei will be reluctant to part with them.
Sigh, I hope they are truly destined to be together; Lian'er is still so young.
Qiao Lian'er went to her fiefdom and brought everyone fragrant coconuts and lychees.
The men of the Qiao family all put down what they were doing and entered the main hall. Each of them picked up a fragrant coconut and drank to their heart's content.
Although it's winter now, training on the field for a long time still makes you thirsty and sweaty.
"Young Master Pei said he would come again," said Old Master Qiao.
Nowadays, the Second Young Master Pei is arguably the busiest and most demanding, insisting that his deputy generals practice troop formations until he is satisfied every day.
Looking down from the watchtower, Qiao Lian'er saw that the young man had changed into a smart outfit, his ponytail tied high, looking dashing and neat, like a spirited, noble and aloof young general.
She rarely saw such a serious expression on Pei Shijiu's face.
Under his command and supervision, the military formations changed rapidly, sometimes like a long snake, sometimes like a phoenix in flight, dazzling the eyes, but upon closer inspection, one could see a sense of regularity and order.
It's clear that they put their whole heart and soul into it.
Qiao Lian'er carried a coconut water bottle and went down from the watchtower.
Upon seeing her, the boy's tense expression relaxed considerably, and his brows softened: "You've come to see me. I thought some people had forgotten about me."
"How could I forget you, the second young master of the Pei family? You've worked so hard for me; if I were to do this for you, wouldn't I be heartless?"
With his duties at the camp settled, Qiao Lian'er has been busy with business these past few days, and has expanded into many new markets.
Profits increase significantly with each new large market expansion.
Moreover, as the space map became more complete, she discovered that this world was much larger, at least twice the size of Earth, with land accounting for 60% of the total area, and the number of countries of all sizes was three times that of Earth.
It's truly an upgraded version of a parallel universe.
This will make it convenient for her to expand her business.
Now, she has become more cautious, reporting only one-tenth of her domestic income and profits, and only one ten-thousandth of her overseas income. Otherwise, with her immense wealth, she might attract unwanted attention.
Even if the emperor values her, trusts her, and even dotes on her to some extent, the world is full of people who are driven by self-interest, and she cannot guarantee that one day the emperor will not reach out to her.
The fates of countless wealthy people prove this point.
Then the boy said, "However, that's not good. You won't feel any novelty then."
