Chapter 146: Cherries to be sold at a very low price?


0

Qiao Xin looked at Pei Xinshu in surprise, "Oh, this little adult also knows this place. It seems that this house is haunted and everyone in Beijing knows it!"

Pei Xinshu smiled helplessly, "To be honest with you, I also liked this place and planned to buy it and move in, but my clan members thought it was unlucky and had bad feng shui, so we didn't do it in the end."

When he first bought his family business, he fell in love with the house at first sight. It was open from north to south and crowded with people. He could have bought it and rented it out or let his servants open a shop. However, his parents strongly opposed it. Even his wife did not support it, saying that she was afraid that it would affect his career and future. It was better to believe it than not to believe it.

He naturally didn't believe in the ghost rumors, but his old mother at home was a strong believer in ghosts and gods. With the pressure of filial piety, he had no choice but to give up.

Every time I think about it, I feel regretful.

I didn't expect that this house would fall into the hands of the Qiao family, and it was bought by the Qiao family's ancestor himself. Pei Xinshu had never envied Qiao Yunqing as much as he did now.

As a human being, why can’t he meet such an open-minded elder?

I just don’t know why the Qiao family also took a fancy to that place?

"The so-called haunting is just a small trick used by the Wang family father and daughter to protect their family business and fight against those who are spying on the family.

Now that I have pointed it out myself, I can't proceed." Qiao Xin looked at Emperor Wu and asked, "Your Majesty, I spent five hundred taels to buy a five-acre mansion. Is that taking advantage of someone's misfortune and usurping the people's property?"

Qiao Xin's thoughts were so straightforward, she had no intention of hiding them. She just wanted to disclose the benefits she had gained through luck to Emperor Wu in advance, so that when someone came to deal with the Qiao family in the future, they would not bring up these things and cause trouble.

What a trouble-maker!

Qiao Yunqing couldn't help but smile. A'niang really understood the Emperor Wu's style of treating his subjects.

This kind of openness is really easy to win the emperor's heart. He spent most of his life struggling to figure out the truth in his previous life, but Qiao Xin did it intuitively.

It's not that no one in Beijing understood what was going on, but the only one who actually took action was Qiao Xin.

He still remembered what Emperor Wu had said when dealing with traitors, especially: "What I hate most in my life is deception..."

Sure enough, she heard His Majesty reply: "As long as you and I are willing and the procedures are legal, it doesn't count. I approve this reward today, and I will let Minister Qiao and Minister Pei help you when the time comes.

Prince Qi, please go to the Ministry of Works to urge them to add more manpower to the waterway post station to ensure that it is completed next month. Minister Qiao, do you have any other requests?"

Qiao Xin was very satisfied with the result. "No more, no more. Your Majesty, Prince, tell me what fruit you want to eat in the future. I will try to grow it for you. In life, there is nothing important except eating and drinking.

This is all I can do. I can’t help much with other things. I live my life just to satisfy my hunger.”

The King of Qi laughed and said, "You are very clear-headed! In that case, can you arrange for someone to deliver some more strawberries? The amount we had the other day was not enough for those people in the mansion.

I thought you didn't have much, so I didn't ask for anything. Now that you have enough to feed the chickens and ducks, I won't be polite. Don't worry, I will settle it with you according to the market price."

Qiao Xin nodded and said, "That's no problem. I'll send someone back to pick it up right away. We can send a small amount at a time by water, and it should be fine if we're careful. It will take two or three days at most. Just send someone to Futai Restaurant to pick it up."

Then he sincerely recommended: "The cherries in our garden are ripe. Would you like to try some? They are not expensive, only fifty coins per pound. They are the color of agate, sweet and sour, and delicious. They can only be eaten for half a month. Of course, if Your Majesty and the Prince want to eat them, it is free. When the time comes, please ask Eunuch Cao to check them a few more times."

......

Qiao Xin's words stunned everyone present, and even Qiao Yunqing himself didn't know that his family actually produced cherries.

Does his mother know how precious cherries are!!!

As the "first fruit of early spring", apart from the royal family members, officials would also give out a small portion of the fruit they grew at home as a way to build closer ties.

Even if Qiao Yunqing were to live in this life, he would only receive such a small reward at the Cherry Banquet hosted by His Majesty.

Qiao Xin sold the beautiful jade at a very low price!

After hearing Qiao Yunqing's reasons, Qiao Xin suddenly said, "Well, my family still has at least a dozen trees, and what should we do with the nearly 1,000 kilograms of yield? We can't keep this stuff. We don't have that many relatives and friends to give away. If we don't sell it, should we keep it for the New Year?"

This reason is really irrefutable. However, a tree can only produce 40 to 50 kilograms of human sperm, and at most less than 100 kilograms. How can your dozen or so trees grow at this rate?

Is it true that the feng shui of Laohu Town is good for people? Is it true that everything can increase in value wherever it is?

Emperor Wu couldn't help but think of Xu Can. This kid had stayed in Laohu Town for more than two months. It was as if he had been reborn, from a boiled chicken into a big, strong and rough man.

The Qingyang Academy on the mountain is where I once studied. It is also considered the place where the dragon rose in its thirties. But this wonderful place has been left abandoned for so many years. It seems that it is time to reopen it.

He might have some reservations if he handed it over to someone else, but if he handed it over to the woman in front of him, there might be unexpected gains. Through the incident of the vicious dog injuring people, Emperor Wu finally understood that the ancestor of the Qiao family was a man who really dared to think, act and act ruthlessly.

Coupled with his unreserved approach, this man who always claimed that he just wanted to manage the one and a half acres of land in Laohu Town, but there are too many things that can be done with that one and a half acres of land.

Even though her ideas are always wild and unorthodox, she will do what she says once she makes up her mind, without any nonsense.

Anyone who thought she was just talking casually would be very wrong.

So this time he was willing to give it a try to see what kind of unexpected gains the other party could bring him.

"Madam, if I ask you to reopen Qingyang Academy, would you be willing?" Emperor Wu looked at Qiao Xin and asked an irrelevant question.

Qiao Yunqing knew the special features of Qingyang Academy, and quickly stepped forward: "Your Majesty's mother has never been educated, and she is actually capable of such a major task as building an academy. Please take back your order!"

The smile on Emperor Wu's face disappeared immediately, "Qiao Yunqing, I am asking about your mother, not you!"
