From the child's tests in school to the show of power at this banquet, it is estimated that there will be various surprises waiting for their family in the future, and it seems that the adoptive mother has no intention of backing down.
The stronger you are when facing a strong opponent, the more your motivation is unknown. This probably describes the personality of A Niang.
Fortunately, they are not fighting alone!
"Mother, do you still want to submit a memorial to His Majesty?"
Without even raising her head, Qiao Xin said, "Yes, this year should be considered a good year for weather and good harvests. This is just the beginning of the fruit and vegetable business. We have to give His Majesty a heads up!"
So, Emperor Wu sat high up in the Ganzheng Hall, reading Qiao Xin's letter while eating Qiao's family's peaches.
When Eunuch Cao saw His Majesty eating two peaches in a row, which was rare, he couldn't help but remind his master to pay attention to his diet.
"Isn't this peach available anywhere else?"
“Your Majesty, I have never seen such beautiful peaches. I heard that the peach garden in Qiao’s mansion has honey peaches from June and July, as well as yellow peaches and flat peaches from the end of September.
Yes, it is the peach that the birthday god eats. ”
"When I was at Qingyang Academy, I knew there was a large peach forest there. They would usually invite scholars and poets to attend banquets, but I had never seen so many varieties of peaches there."
"It's normal to have changes after a lapse of 10 or 20 years. It's not that Mrs. Qiao is so capable. I heard that they hunted wild boars in this forest because they couldn't bear to see the orchard being destroyed by a group of beasts.

Emperor Wu laughed and scolded: "You old man, how many benefits have you received from the Qiao family? Why do you always speak for them?"
"Nothing can be hidden from your Majesty, they sent a basket of cherries and peaches to this old slave alone.
I'm not speaking for the Qiao family. Old Madam Qiao is like the reincarnation of the Goddess of Land. She is very close to the land. Whatever she plants grows back and thrives exceptionally well. Your Majesty, isn't this exactly the person you need? ”
Upon hearing this, Emperor Wu couldn't help but think of the scenes described to him by people who had been to Laohu Town.
People in Laohu Town are so busy that even old men with crutches can sit under a big tree and weave willow baskets and bamboo. The strong young men in the village carried baskets of fruits down the mountain, and none of the women, children or adolescents were idle, all busy picking fruits.
There were also many refugees from other places who rushed to Laohu Town with their families because the Qiao family was recruiting people from time to time and provided them with three meals a day. The influx of foreign population in Laohu Town has far exceeded its original capacity, and its bustle is catching up with that of Wisconsin-Madison.
Prefect Wu and Fan Huairen have already strongly suggested expanding Laohu Town, and the memorials are now on his desk.
The rise of the Qiao family not only revitalized Laohu Town, but also revitalized Linshui Town.
