"After all these years, you are the only one who has the courage to ask me this question so bluntly!
My dear minister, you have helped me solve crises for many years. You are my ally and I will never let you down!"
After Emperor Wu had finished stirring up the emotions, he couldn't help but be curious: "I haven't asked you yet, what are you going to do with this land all of a sudden?"
Qiao Xin had nothing to hide: "I'll fulfill my wish!"
"Repay your vow?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, you don't know, during the days when I was unconscious, I didn't know where my soul went!
I felt like I was being pulled to a paradise on earth.
There, women are not limited to taking care of their husbands and children. They can work like men, go to school, and even become officials and join the army like men...
There are women in all positions that men can hold.
But the local people there have long been accustomed to it, and they don't point fingers at them...
Your Majesty, that is a very friendly place for women. I think God must have his reasons for letting me see this.
I am a dull woman, I can’t figure it out, I can’t understand it, after thinking it over and over, I decided to spend the rest of my life creating a place like this to fulfill my wish! ”
Under normal circumstances, Emperor Wu would definitely not believe it, but when he thought about the days when Qiao Xin was in a coma, he couldn't find any reason.
One has to wonder, is this really a warning from God?
"Your reason is really irrefutable. I'm afraid the ministers won't believe it. I'm afraid the majority of the memorials impeaching you will be in the morning court tomorrow."
"As long as your majesty trusts me, other people's opinions are of no importance!"
Emperor Wu:........
After Qiao Xin received the imperial edict, he rushed back to Laohu Town without stopping!
Xu, who rushed over after hearing the news, originally planned to take her mother-in-law back and share her achievements.
But I didn't know that I was just one step late and missed Qiao Xin's whereabouts.
Xu stamped her feet, and said with regret: "This... this is really a hectic day, there is no peace at all!"
The personal nanny consoled her, "Madam, this is a good thing. It means that the old lady is still very strong and there is no need for the younger generation to worry about her!"
Xu was startled, and immediately remembered the scene when Qiao Xin was sick. She smiled with relief: "That's true. Never mind, never mind, let's go with our mother! As long as she is happy, that's fine!"
However, Eunuch Cao, who sent Qiao Xin out of the palace, sent a little eunuch to the mansion to tell Xu the truth!
"Madam, you are well. I am here to congratulate you!"
Xu was a little confused: she didn’t understand where the joy came from, how could she look at the other person with such a serious face!
"His Majesty has just awarded Xihua County to the old lady as a fiefdom!"
Doesn’t Xihua County include Yunxi Town, Laohu Town and Leiwo Village? Doesn’t it really belong to my mother-in-law alone now?
The county magistrate of Xihua County was Fan Yanqiu, Dalang and his classmates' first teacher.
As for the original county magistrate Fan Jihuai, he has been transferred to another place to serve as a prefect!
Before Xu could come to her senses, the nanny beside her quickly stuffed a bag of silver into the pocket of the eunuch who delivered the message.
The other party then went back happily to report!
Xu stood there and took a long breath, "Madam, why is the gap between people so big?
We are both women, but why is it so easy for my mother-in-law to get a reward, just like eating and drinking, but why is it so difficult for us?"
"Madam, people have different destinies, each has his or her own fate, which cannot be envied!
The lady envies the old lady, but she doesn’t know how many people envy the lady’s life!
Besides, the old lady will still belong to you gentlemen in the future."
Xu quickly stopped her from speaking any further.
"Don't say that anymore. A-niang has already divided the family. No one has the right to covet the old lady's things. Don't forget the lesson of the second house!"
The nanny slapped herself in the face and quickly bowed her head to admit her mistake.
"I know that Madam is loyal to her master, but there are things that can be done and things that cannot be done!"
"I'll remember this, old slave!"
Xu did not pursue the matter and got into the car.
"Okay, let's go back! Where's Sanniang? Has she also gone to Laohu Town?"
"I'll take the Wang family's boat back early in the morning. Maybe I'll run into the old lady!"
........
The third lady did not meet Qiao Xin!
As soon as she got off the car, Manager Cao told her to supervise the construction workers in measuring the land.
Manager Cao handed over the account book in his hand.
"On the way back, the old lady turned to Leiwo Village. She had earlier asked me to accompany the young lady to survey the site for the medical school!"
"Grandmother, are you planning to separate the medical school from the women's school of Qingyang Academy? Will they agree to that?"
"I'm not sure about this, but in recent years, there are fewer and fewer female doctors in women's colleges, and the medical department is almost non-existent. There are many people involved in this.
The old lady had been dissatisfied for a long time and was too lazy to waste energy arguing with them.
It would be better to set up a place to teach women medicine, so that it can complement Junkang Hall in the future."
"Is this okay?"
Manager Cao smiled and comforted her, "What's wrong with that? The old lady said that it is much easier to establish a new order than to patch up the old one!"
Sanniang thought that this was quite consistent with her grandmother's style, so she said no more and followed Manager Cao with the people around her!
The two men came to the hillside not far behind Junkang Hall, where yamen runners and the chief clerk were already waiting.
When he saw Qiao Sanniang and Manager Cao, he hurried forward to greet them.
"I wonder how much land your government wants to measure this time?"
"Measure 20 acres first. We'll see how it goes later!"
The chief clerk said, "That's fine. Anyway, our Xihua County will be under the old lady's management from now on. If the young lady needs anything, just send someone to the government office to let her know!"
"You are joking, my Lord. How could Xihua County be governed by my grandmother? If this gets out, everyone will think that our family is arrogant!"
The chief clerk stroked his goatee and said with a smile: "It seems that the young lady doesn't know yet. This morning, His Majesty awarded our Xihua County to the old lady as a fiefdom. In the future, all of us will have to rely on the old lady for food!"
The third lady glanced at Manager Cao and saw that he was as confused as she was. It was obvious that he had not received the news yet!
However, it is quite normal for this to happen to my grandmother!
Well, it’s a surprise, but it happens so often that everyone has become accustomed to it!
However, to be on the safe side, Qiao Sanniang decided to hire someone again: "Sir, are you serious?"
"Miss, who dares to speak up for such a thing? Our government office has received instructions from above, so this land can be used by anyone but you!
The third lady nodded and said, "Then I will borrow your good words!"
In that case, you’re welcome!
Qiao Sanniang pointed her little hand toward the hillside and said, "Measure here, here, and here."
Anyway, after the medical school is built, there will be projects such as the second phase inpatient center and the third phase confinement center.
