No matter how noisy and hustling the outside world is, Qiao Xin just does what she is supposed to do every day, as if it has no effect at all, and she never gives any explanation.
In short.
What does other people’s thoughts and opinions have to do with her? It’s not her fault. It’s the people in this world who are sorry for her!
Nanny Qin admired Qiao Xin very much. Even though she was at the center of the storm, she was able to maintain such a calm mental state and do things openly, leaving those who were waiting to see her make a fool of herself almost speechless!
Take today for example, right after seeing off the dean of the Agricultural College, she and Lao Cao were so angry that they almost died.
But the old lady actually curled her eyes at them.
"Let's go and get you two some delicious food!"
Cao Guanshi was so angry that he said, "Madam, what's going on? It's not so quick to cross a river and then destroy the bridge!
Listen to what they say. What do they mean by saying that our practice has hindered the mass promotion of improved varieties?
Without our support, would the Agricultural College be able to reach its current size?"
Eight years, eight years!
The old lady supported the Agricultural College regardless of weather conditions, from enrollment to planning of experimental fields, to summarizing experiences and supplying improved varieties. Which step could have been achieved without Qiao Xin's support?
When the school was first established, no one agreed to build an agricultural college. It was Qiao Xin who went against the majority and paid for the establishment of this branch out of his own pocket!
Now, His Majesty attaches importance to farming, and the status of the Sinong Temple has also risen!
The government office, where no one wanted to work in the past, has been expanding again and again.
Too many people can't do anything, and too many dragons won't spit water!
A government office that serves the people was not only filled with chaos, but the fire also spread to Qingyang Academy!
As soon as Qiao Xin's contract with the Agricultural College expired, the newly appointed dean couldn't wait to cut ties with the Qiao family.
That's why there is such behavior of adding insult to injury today!
Qiao Xin asked someone to fetch a bottle of apple cider vinegar from the cellar and poured a cup of it for each of her two confidants who had stood up for her.
"Come on, come on, try the new drink I made! Sit down, sit down, Lao Cao, we are all elderly people, don't get angry easily, if you get sick from anger, no one can help you!"
Manager Cao hesitated for a moment, then sat down, but he still couldn't swallow that anger!
He picked up the porcelain cup on the table, drank it in one gulp without even looking at it, and his facial features were distorted by the sour taste.
Nanny Qin stared at Steward Cao for a few seconds, then looked at the golden brown liquid in the porcelain cup that exuded a sweet and sour aroma, not knowing whether to drink it or not.
Manager Cao smacked his lips, savoring the taste.
"This...is this vinegar?"
"Yes, it is vinegar, but it is apple cider vinegar. You have to savor it slowly. If you chew peonies like a sluggard, how can your teeth not feel sour?"
Manager Cao immediately misunderstood.
"Madam, if you are really unhappy, don't be jealous. I can get you some wine!"
Isn't it said that drinking alcohol can relieve sorrow? Why is her master using vinegar to relieve sorrow?
Wouldn't it be even more ridiculous if this got out?
"You old man, don't look down on this stuff. This is a fine wine made specifically for women. It is beautifying and slimming, and it is not intoxicating. It tastes sour and sweet, and can be drunk by children and the elderly!
Nanny Qin no longer hesitated and drank the wine in her hand in one gulp!
Well, it’s just like the old lady said, sweet and sour, just to her liking!
"If Mammy likes it, just go to the cellar and get some. Last winter, the trees had a lot of apples. We worked day and night for more than half a month and brewed more than 30 jars.
It’s enough for you to drink it as water every day!”
"Okay, then I won't be polite!"
"Manager Cao, bring two kilograms back for your mother and wife to try!"
"Hey, thank you, ma'am!"
Manager Cao happily agreed. Sugar was added to it, so it was obvious that it was not a cheap thing. The old lady really took a lot of effort to coax them!
Qiao Xin patiently comforted a few old friends.
"Don't think too much. I just want you to have a taste of my cooking skills! I have nothing to be unhappy about. I have already informed His Majesty about the Agricultural College. I will no longer be involved in it this year.
This burden is too heavy, as it concerns the livelihoods of ordinary people. I am old and my energy is limited, so I really cannot manage it.
Some things should be let go. Whether it's Qingyang Academy or Agricultural College, they are not my private territory. Isn't it only a matter of time before we separate?
If they rely on me alone for everything, what if one day I am gone, will they die?
I just didn't expect that these people in the court would be so impatient and eat in such an ugly way.
There are things I haven't explained yet, but they are impatient to listen. Don't blame me if something goes wrong in the future!"
"Bai Liu, please report today's incident to His Majesty without missing a single word!"
"Okay, I'll write it right away, and let His Majesty give you justice!"
Bai Liu was standing aside with the account book in his hand, watching the entire conversation between the dean and Qiao Xin.
Now when I hear Qiao Xin say this, I think Qiao Xin is feeling aggrieved!
The reason why Qiao Xin joked with Bai Liu like this was because he was His Majesty's man, yes, Emperor Wu's man!
In fact, Qiao Xin knew it all along, and she gave her to Zhang to manage the rouge shop at the beginning.
This girl was also quite capable. In just a few years, she opened branches in all four directions of the capital, and also helped Xu and Zhang open branches in the places where their husbands worked.
With Shunzi's cooperation, he opened a shop in Jinling.
It was during this process that he and Shunzi fell in love with each other.
After the blind date party, Shunzi insisted on marrying her, but Bai Liu refused to agree!
