Chapter 325 Why?
His wife is upright and kind, and her heart is always toward the Qiao family, otherwise she would not have used her dowry and bride price to cover the debt owed to the Qiao family.
If it were him, he would definitely not give so much money to the Qiao family.
He has a problem with Murong, but she is the princess, and he is only a fourth-rank official, so he should be more careful in front of her, and can't say everything.
There are also younger brothers and sisters, he is also angry with her, his own wife is stupid, she is also stupid, and has paid for the dowry and dowry, not to mention saving some, what a prodigal.
If he has these family backgrounds, then he will pay some money to the top, and maybe his official position will be promoted again.
Thinking of the emperor's test, he could only sigh helplessly.
I should mention something carefully and go home to visit the grave of my biological parents. I just go back quietly. Why did I tell her.
Jiang Yuanpeng sat in a daze when he was free, annoyed that he was too stupid.
Jiang Yuansheng is different from him, he continues to live with peace of mind, he is very grateful to his adoptive parents, without them, he would not be where he is now, so he is very supportive of Xiao Qingling's giving the dowry and bride price to his adoptive mother.
Now his wife has given birth to a son for him, and he is very contented with guarding his wife and child, without any other thoughts.
The two brothers have completely different ideas, one is annoyed and the other is calm.
Qiao Mai is like this. If you treat me well, I will treat you well. If the emperor granted his daughter the title of princess, she will not treat the emperor badly.
She gave him a bag of rice seeds in the early morning of Yuan's family, and said calmly.
"This is a new type of rice. If there is wheat in the north, the food in the south must be improved!"
Yuan Jiaqi looked at this bag of rice seeds, his eyes sparkled, and he had long wanted to ask his wife to think of something for the people in the south.
He didn't dare to urge his wife, but now that she finally made a move, he was very happy.
"Great, how much does this rice plant produce per mu?"
"The soil in the south is fertile, so it must be more than a thousand catties."
She also attached a booklet, "Here is how to grow a new type of rice, let's give it to the emperor together."
"My lady, I believe in you as a husband."
The Yuan family got up early in the morning, and when the emperor and courtiers finished discussing state affairs, they stood up with the bag of rice seeds in their hands.
"Your Majesty, the minister's wife got a bag of rice seeds from an overseas businessman, planted it at home for a season, and the yield per mu was about one thousand catties, and specially asked the minister to dedicate it to the emperor."
The emperor stared wide-eyed and quickly waved at him, "Quick, bring it to me to have a look."
The little **** took it from Mr. Yuan, with a fawning expression on his face. Now the civil and military courts, including members of the royal family, are not showing favor to him.
Even so, he remains the same, exactly the same as before.
Secretly people call him an iron rooster, the stone of the hut, smelly, hard and buttoned, haha!
They just weren’t convinced, he had so much money, he never treated guests to dinner, and he didn’t attend any weddings or weddings.
Unless there is the emperor's will, I will not take any good things when I go there. You say it is annoying.
In the past, when he was in a low position, he dared to ridicule him openly and secretly, but now that he is a prince, who would dare?
You said where did his family get so many recipes? In the past, it was fine to get a recipe for new wheat seeds, then a recipe for steel seeds, and now a recipe for rice seeds.
Endless repayment, or I will send people overseas to see if I can get some prescriptions back?
He, a man with a different surname, got it by relying on Fang Zi, so look down on him, hum!
The emperor got new rice seeds, so he hurriedly called out the director of the Agricultural Department.
"Hurry up and send people to plant it. If it is feasible, the people in the south will be able to use the new rice within three years."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The director is a farming expert. He is knowledgeable and loves farming. He is very concerned about agriculture. He was selected by the emperor himself.
He was very loyal to the old emperor, and he couldn't wait to leave after taking the rice seeds.
The old emperor smiled and looked at Yuan Jiaqi, "I am very pleased that your family has contributed money and efforts for the country. This time your wife has made great contributions. How do you want me to reward you?"
"Your Majesty, my wife said that there is no need for rewards. As a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, I should think about the country and the people."
"Haha, why don't you go back and thank your wife for me?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
All the courtiers breathed a sigh of relief, it's fine if there is no reward, otherwise, they will all be jealous to death.
The court was dispersed, and everyone performed their duties. What people didn't expect was that the imperial decree went to Qiao's house again in the afternoon. How long has it been? The Qiao family has received so many imperial edicts, all of which are rewards.
The emperor got a new rice seed, and he was very happy. He thought that Mrs. Qiao was just a first-rank imperial wife, and she didn't seem to be a good match for a king with a different surname, so he decreed that Qiao Mai should be promoted to a first-rank princess.
Many people couldn’t sleep at night. What’s the matter? The Feng Shui of Jixiangyuan is so good?
As long as you enter the door of Qiao's house, the male is a high-ranking official, and the female is a high-ranking official, why?
The old man and the old lady returned to Jixiangyuan on the sixth day of the lunar new year, and they still lived as before after returning. They didn't say a word about the Wang family.
The two old people are very happy about the succession of happy events in Jixiangyuan.
Knowing that Qiao Mai doesn't like to socialize, he ordered the kitchen to cook a big table of good food and wine, and the family sat together to celebrate.
Instead, the imperial concubines in the palace, Princess Jiamei and the emperor all sent gifts.
Others want to give it away, but the Qiao family doesn't accept it. Only those three give it, the Qiao family will have to accept it.
After accepting the gift, the old emperor has a reason to come to her house for dinner.
When Yuan Jiaqi mentioned this to Qiao Mai, she frowned with a headache.
"Who can bear to spend time all the time?"
"Ask the cook to do it. You can get him a few ready-made ones. It doesn't need to be so troublesome."
"Just himself?"
"This time there is the imperial concubine and Princess Jiamei."
"Okay, for the sake of the two of them, let's treat him well."
This time, Qiao Mai specifically asked the old man and his son if they want to be together, and the two shook their heads.
"I won't go, as long as you treat me well, we are all so old, and we are used to being unrestrained."
Rejected again, even they knew it was troublesome to entertain distinguished guests, let alone Qiao Mai.
"That girl is a hard worker. She worried about those two children earlier. When she grew up, she became an official and married a daughter-in-law. She wanted to recognize her ancestors and return to her family. Now she is fine. She is a relative of the emperor. She is still a foodie, and she doesn't count on herself. , and brought the whole family to eat and drink, Qiao Yatou is a fastidious person, she will never let Jiaqi lose face, she must look decent."
"Yeah, after finishing Chuan'er and Ling'er's marriage, and their daughter-in-law, grandson, grandson, etc. are a bunch of other things, she will not be free, and she has to go to the free clinic when she has time."
"By the way, speaking of this, do you know the rumors outside?"
"I'm old, I don't want to worry about the outside world anymore, what are the rumors?"
"I heard that there is a genius doctor in the capital who is elusive. He often gives free consultations on the street of Mingren Medical Clinic. Even the medical clinic can't cure the disease. The doctor cured the disease with his hands. Do you think it is Qiao girl?"
The old man took a breath, "Has her medical skills reached this level?"
"I don't know, I just doubt it. I heard that the man is a middle-aged man."
"The girl seems to be able to disguise herself?"
"That's not bad, it's Qiao girl, you said she is running the house, and she has to go out for free clinics, so tired of so many things?"
"Those who are capable work harder, she knows martial arts, if she is tired, she will not do what she can, so we don't have to worry so much. I am old and weak, and I can't help her. Just show her a good home."
"The daughter-in-law also has a problem with us, so she stays at her own house and lives in someone else's house."
"She should thank Miss Qiao. We're not there. She doesn't have the pressure, isn't she more free? She doesn't eat her food, and the girl is taking care of us for her. If we don't change things that are not satisfied, I really let Zong Sheng rest she."
"Look at this time, Zihan's big wedding will be over a month away, and I gave her 200,000 taels of silver."
