When Liu Ajiao returned home with an air of authority, she stepped into her parents' home.
She spotted two busy figures in an elegant courtyard near her father's study. One of them was none other than Da Qiao, whom she hated with a passion.
Da Qiao was accompanied by Xiao Qiao, and both Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were surrounded by a group of men of all ages.
Many men surrounded her.
Chen Tian sneakily went up to inquire and found out that this Da Qiao was the new official in charge of agriculture in Lujiang City that Liu Ajiao's father-in-law had mentioned.
That's a ghost story.
Liu Ajiao was completely baffled.
Liu Ajiao first went home to pay respects to her father, and then to her mother.
Finally, she had a chance to ask her mother, "Why is Da Qiao in our mansion? What are all those men doing around her? Is she really doing farm work?"
"Oh, my son. This is a long story."
Then, with tears streaming down her face, Lady Wang recounted her longing for Liu Ajiao, and also mentioned that Liu Xun, as an official, was not acting like one, lacking the foresight to choose a woman to manage agricultural affairs.
The key point is that this woman is only sixteen years old, an inexperienced and naive girl.
ah.
Liu Ajiao was internally screaming with frustration.
"What? That bitch Da Qiao has suddenly become the official in charge of agriculture in Lujiang City? She boasted to her father that she would double the grain yield in Lujiang City this year? And then, she pulled all these stunts, inviting so many upright and honorable men to her, training them, and making them listen to her lectures?"
"Mother, do you think Da Qiao's brain was struck by lightning?"
"This hen dares to run wild in our mansion!"
"Mother, just you wait. I'm back to help you get revenge. In less than three days, I'll make sure that bitch Da Qiao packs her things and crawls out of our house with her tail between her legs."
After meeting her mother, Liu Ajiao didn't even have time to recover from her long journey, such as lying down for a full-body spa or taking a hot bath.
She went straight to the courtyard where Qiao Jingjing now lives.
She still thought that she was still the same person she used to be, and that Qiao Jingjing was still the same Qiao Jingjing.
She overlooked the fact that in Qiao Jingjing's courtyard, there were over a hundred minor officials in charge of agricultural affairs, listening intently to her lectures. Qiao Jingjing herself was speaking with great enthusiasm, gesturing and talking animatedly. Qiao Jingjing was the central figure, with Qiao Er and Qiao San serving as her teaching assistants, while Xiao Qiao acted as a scribe, washing brushes and grinding ink.
Qiao Jingjing's agricultural training courses were actually quite successful, if it weren't for Liu Ajiao's interference.
But Liu Ajiao, along with Chen Tian, Liu Dong'er, and dozens of others, surrounded the place and barged in without any politeness.
"Tie up this vile woman who spreads heresy!"
When Liu Ajiao said this, and when her men arrived, everyone was initially confused.
But after three or four seconds, everyone was scratching their heads.
First, the local officials who were listening to the lectures outside the station blocked the first wave of aggressive lackeys.
"Who are you? Where did you come from? Don't you know this is Prefect Liu's residence? How dare you cause trouble here?"
"Yes, who are you? Have you come here to ask the prefect's opinion?"
“We’re all here listening to the lecture. If you miss the class, you’re delaying this year’s farming. If you delay this year’s farming, you’re jeopardizing the food supply for tens of thousands of people in Lujiang City. Who can bear that responsibility?”
If scholars are considered useless, then at this crucial moment, those who, despite their somewhat pedantic nature, are still able to work in the fields are mostly those who have inherited a tradition of farming and studying, those who want to learn knowledge and possess the fine traditions of Chinese culture. These junior intellectuals have truly played a role at this critical juncture.
Liu Ajiao and these dozens of people were indeed kept outside.
This forced Liu Ajiao to stand at the courtyard gate and shout at Qiao Jingjing:
"Qiao Jingjing, are you a demon in disguise? I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've come to my house to pretend to be something you're not! What kind of nonsense did you use to make my dad believe you so much?"
"And these people? Do they even have brains? Look at their eyes, it's like they've been brainwashed! Qiao Jingjing, let me tell you, if you continue to spread these lies in my Liu family, don't blame me for going in with a white knife and coming out with a red one..."
Liu Ajiao made a harsh statement.
But as soon as he said that, he was met with a barrage of criticism from these devout agricultural students.
"What white knife? What red knife! Who do you belong to? What's your surname? Where did this shrew come from? You're so unreasonable! What? Your surname is Liu, and you're the daughter of Prefect Liu?"
"My God, how could Prefect Liu, who has been so wise all his life, be so foolish as to raise such an ignorant brat?"
"What do you mean you're brainless? Are you blind? Can't you see all of us? Are you hanging your brain around your neck?"
"Don't try to reason with this kind of person, you won't get anywhere with her. Does this pampered young lady even know what rice is? Does she know what a rice paddy is? Does she know how cattle work in the fields and how they walk? These parasites, they are the parasites in our turbulent society, they only know how to be waited on hand and foot, they don't know how to work in the fields, yet they think they are high and mighty and want to give orders to us..."
"That's right! Miss, please go back to where you came from, go stay somewhere cool! We are here to work. We have signed a pledge to the governor that this year's grain yield must double. If the grain yield does not double, the blame will not be on us, but on you, Miss Liu. You will have to bear the consequences of your own actions."
"Yes, then we'll see if Magistrate Liu can treat his own family members the same way."
