“My father is the best. He’s good to Xiaoya, good to Mother, and the best to the country and the people under his rule. Although his reputation isn’t so good, his heart is good. Humph, this Grand Tutor Jun, his reputation is so good, who knows if it’s all fabricated. The human heart is a treacherous place, the hardest thing to fathom. You’re right, Mother!”
After Xiaoya finished speaking, she pouted.
For children, their own father is always the most powerful.
Su Jiaoniang accepted what Xiaoya had to say.
After all, there have been many such debates in later generations.
My father's skills all lie in the internal competition.
Kids even compare how their dads eat poop!
What can a father do?
Even if I don't eat it, I can't stop the kid from showing off.
“Yes, your father is the most powerful and capable!” Su Jiaoniang echoed.
Feng Yuwei nodded in agreement.
Most people in this world don't understand the Regent of Qi.
Every single thing he did in the State of Qi was accompanied by bloodshed.
However, without this prince, there would be no silver to allocate during droughts and floods, and the Qi Kingdom would riot, resulting in even greater losses.
Only when you see through and understand some things will you realize that everyone in the world has their own stance.
There are indeed extremely evil people in this world.
but……
Like the prince, there are many who are deep-thinking and infamous, yet they are single-mindedly pursuing their ideals on their own narrow path.
If so, it would be great if high-yield hybrid grains could be produced.
The lives of ordinary people will improve.
The world will be more peaceful!
Feng Yuwei's gaze fell on Su Jiaoniang.
He then returned to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
This wasn't a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar place, and it wasn't because of the little girl's talent, but rather...
He could die if he encountered danger, but the person in front of him could not die.
He had a premonition that this person had many things in mind that would benefit the country and its people. If he could dig those things out, it might change the world. That was what he was looking forward to.
Perhaps I will never see such a scene in my lifetime.
However, it can comfort the rest of one's life.
...
The carriage continued its journey, exiting the city gate.
Leaving the capital.
On the road, Jun Chaoyang lifted the carriage curtain and glanced back: "Who is that?"
"It looks like the carriage of Chief Eunuch Rong, but the voice inside doesn't sound right; it doesn't sound like that young wife!" the coachman replied.
You nodded, seemingly unwell.
We lowered the carriage curtain and slowly drove towards our destination in the cold wind.
If they meet again on the road in a narrow pass, and the other party refuses to give way, Jun Chaoyang will take the initiative to give way.
A gentleman is modest and refined, gentle and gentle as jade.
Jun Chaoyang, the Grand Tutor, has risen to prominence!
Xiao Ya walked along the road, still feeling unhappy, and she disliked Jun Chaoyang very much.
People like her father, bearing the most vile reputation, do the most conscientious things.
Jun Chaoyang carried the most lauded statement, but was he truly consistent in word and deed?
not necessarily!
Xiao Ya secretly set a small goal in her heart: to peel back Jun Chaoyang's disguise and reveal his true colors.
I just don't believe this person is truly consistent inside and out.
...
Spring is slow to arrive, and while walking on the road, I even encountered a sudden cold snap.
The carriage stayed in a small town for more than ten days.
In spring, apricot blossoms bloom along the roadside, the ground is covered with a layer of white snow, and small grasses with a faint green glow emerge from the snow. In spring, wheat sprouts also slowly crawl out from under the thin layer of snow.
The scenery is picturesque.
But the farmers on both sides of the path had worried expressions on their faces.
"The apricot harvest won't be good next year!"
"yes!"
"..." The good mood that had just risen vanished instantly.
Grain is for farmers to fill their stomachs, but the wild apricots that they have worked so hard to grow are said to be able to be sold for money.
Wealthy people living in those parts of Beijing like to eat sour and tangy foods.
That's just what they like.
I'd feel uneasy if I couldn't eat it.
The sudden cold snap has brought snow, freezing all the blooming apricot blossoms and inevitably reducing the yield!
Thinking of those farmers by the roadside piling wheat straw under apricot trees, supposedly to keep them warm, however…
They knew in their hearts that doing so would be ineffective; frost-damaged flowers on branches would not bear fruit.
But doing this makes me feel a little better!
I grieve for the many hardships faced by the people.
No one can laugh when passing by a place like this.
The carriage moved slowly forward.
The farmer suddenly said, "I wonder if more of the insects in the field will freeze to death, so that we can harvest more wheat!"
"Grandpa, a good snow promises a good harvest. The snow was so heavy before the New Year, nothing will happen."
"Yes, nothing will happen!"
An old man and a child were talking while working in the field.
The words made the people in the carriage's hearts clench!
Life is always so difficult!
No matter how bitter or difficult life was, the difficulties would eventually pass, and the group finally returned home when spring was in full bloom.
The courtyard was spotless, as if it had never been there.
Hearing the commotion, Xie Shi, who was in the courtyard, came out with Guo Guo and Guo Shu.
Seeing the carriage outside and Su Jiaoniang stepping down from it, her eyes reddened: "Madam, you're finally back! Are you tired? Would you mind if this old servant fetched you some water?"
Guo Guo burrowed closer to Xiao Ya.
Guo Guo glanced at the carriage, but did not see the Buddha statue. Disappointment flashed in his eyes.
Overall, the kids were happy.
These days, the owners of the courtyard are all away, and there have been some rumors in the village that they want to take over the courtyard and seize Su Niangzi's property.
