Chapter 279 I actually believed it all, so naive
Qiao Ye knew that Dayin had another title for women, which was called Xiangjun, which was lower than Xianzhu.
There is no real power, but the status is elevated.
She had no interest.
She is just a peasant girl now. Even if she is conferred the title of a county lady, now that she has gone to the capital, how many people will take her as a county lady seriously?
Too weak.
If she had her own abilities and could make the emperor pay more and more attention to her, then no one would dare to look down on her even if she was a peasant girl.
Maybe in the future she would be able to earn the title of a county lady, or some kind of lady, and have the emperor confer the title on her instead of asking Xiao Qi for help.
She really looked down upon a low-ranking country gentleman.
Besides, this thing is worthless, and apart from making your identity look better, it has no practical benefits.
It will also be too eye-catching.
In her current situation, it is not appropriate for her to be too high-profile and attract the attention of those people in the upper class.
The farms and mountains in the suburbs of Beijing are not something that can be bought with money.
The emperor's reward is not only obtained without spending any money or using any connections, but it is also a gift from the emperor.
In the future, if we grow something good or develop well, no one will dare to covet and rob it. This is much more realistic.
What's more, she just wanted the prince and Xiao Qi to owe her a favor.
But I didn't want to give up the status of a county lady, so I returned the favor.
But she naturally wouldn't tell Xiao Qi what she was thinking.
Instead, she added in a dignified manner, "Although I am a woman, I also want to make a small contribution to my Dayin."
"I hope that I, Dayin, can get better and better and stronger."
He showed his lofty ambitions again, "If every soldier on the border could wear a pair of rubber-soled leather shoes and beat the enemy into a pulp, it would be refreshing and heroic just thinking about it."
"So how can I use this to ask for a title or something?"
When Xiao Qi heard this, he suddenly felt that he was too utilitarian before.
He rarely looked at Qiao Ye seriously and gave her a thumbs up, "As expected of you, my cousin's goddaughter. It's true that women are as good as men."
"I will definitely tell my father what you said."
Qiao Ye smiled at him modestly, "Thank you for the compliment."
What was originally wanted was for him to pass these words to the ears of the emperor and the prince.
Xiao Jingchen looked at Qiao Ye.
With a meaningful smile on his face, he said, "If all the people of Dayin were as righteous as you, there would be no need to worry about pacifying the borders and taking back the cities that were once robbed."
The city was lost by the previous dynasty, and this dynasty has always wanted to take it back.
He could roughly guess what this little girl was thinking.
She should have had this in mind when she said this, but this was definitely not her real purpose.
Instead, she chose what was best for her.
In fact, when Xiao Qi brought up the idea of asking for the title of Lady of the Country, he wanted to remind the little girl not to ask for it.
That thing is too eye-catching and it's too hot to hold. It's better to get something more practical.
He knows his royal brother very well.
The less you ask him for things, the more he feels you should give him more.
Besides, isn't it better to let the prince owe someone a favor than to be a county lord with no real power but just a good reputation?
Xiao Jingrui is different from the late emperor. He attaches great importance to his two legitimate sons.
The prince was carefully trained as a monarch, and Xiao Qi was loved and enjoyed family life like an ordinary person.
So if nothing unexpected happens, for example, the prince suddenly dies, or the prince suddenly has a brain problem and wants to abdicate first, or Xiao Jingrui has a mental breakdown.
There is a high possibility that the next monarch will be the crown prince.
He was actually quite optimistic about the prince.
He has strategies and means, and although he seems to be introverted and gentle, he is not soft-hearted or soft-handed.
He knows how to appoint the right people to the right positions, is broad-minded, and is able to listen to other people's opinions without being stubborn and self-willed.
He is indeed a good candidate for succession.
So it would be better to let the prince continue to owe favors.
Xiao Qi is still too young.
He only thought about the superficial identity and really wanted to help the little girl fight for it with good intentions, but he overlooked a lot of things.
Moreover, the little girl said it so majestically, but this boy actually believed it all. He is too naive.
No wonder he is only suitable to be a carefree prince.
Compared to that little girl, Xiao Qi's heart is truly pure and harmless.
When Qiao Ye met Xiao Jingchen's eyes, she knew that the other party had almost seen through her thoughts.
Sure enough, shrewd and cunning old foxes are not fun at all.
It’s better to get along with someone like Xiao Qi.
She glanced at Xiao Jingchen and said, "I really don't deserve your compliment. Thank you."
Jiang Yilin on the side chuckled and said, "My sister is amazing."
Then he changed the subject, "Come on, I'll go back and open a present."
Xiao Qi is a jerk. He often means well but fails to accomplish good things.
Fortunately, her sister is very smart and reacts very quickly, and knows how to make the best choice.
He can deal with a fox like King Chen without being at a disadvantage.
She was smarter and more capable than he thought.
Of course, if his sister hadn’t reacted before, he would have reminded her.
Jiang Yilin's idea is similar to that of Xiao Jingchen and Qiao Ye.
Like Xiao Jingchen, he felt quite disgusted with Xiao Qi.
Among the four people here, only Xiao Qi had a solid glutinous rice dumpling, while the other three had black sesame fillings.
Xiao Qi obviously didn't know that he was being disliked.
Jiang Yilin immediately diverted his attention, "Go in and open it."
So several people went into the house again.
Jiang Yilin opened the last wooden box.
There were three sets of clothes in different colors: black, blue and gray.
Qiao Ye thought that it would be easier to match the clothes if she wore these three colors inside.
Jiang Yilin took out a set and looked at it. "What kind of clothes is this?"
"It feels very soft, and the style and pattern are different from what we usually wear."
Qiao Ye said: "This is a sweater and trousers, which are worn under the outer robe."
"It's very warm to wear inside when it's cold."
“You don’t have to add layers of clothes, so you won’t look bulky.”
The sweater is made of high-quality cashmere yarn, so it won’t prick you.
It's very soft and comfortable to touch and wear.
This kind of wool is used to knit sweaters, trousers, etc. as gifts, or sold at a high price.
The coarser wool is picked out and blended with cotton fluff, which is not prickly and is of lower grade than this, so it will be mainly sold.
Jiang Yilin's eyes lit up, "Then I'll find a place to try it?"
For young people like them who prefer style to temperature in winter, this kind of clothes is really necessary.
Qiao Ye also saw what kind of personality his second brother had. He was probably the type who liked to show off.
She smiled and said, "You can change in the empty room next door."
Jiang Yilin picked up a set of sweaters and trousers and went next door.
Soon, it was changed back.
He smiled broadly, "This is good stuff, too."
"It's soft and warm to wear, so comfortable."
"Look at my figure, it's still so slender and straight, not bloated at all."
“I like this dress.”
He added, "Of course, I like the zodiac candles and rubber-soled leather boots, too."
He said proudly: "It's good to have a sister!"
Xiao Qi felt a little envious and looked at him resentfully, "Look how proud you are."
He also wants to have a sister like this.
Then he picked up the green sweater from the wooden box.
"Everyone who sees it gets a share. The weather has been cold recently, and I was worried that the clothes I brought were too thin."
"We are similar in size, so this set belongs to me."
Before Jiang Yilin could react after he finished speaking, he ran to the next room to change with his clothes in his arms.
There is only one pair of shoes and it’s hard to grab them, but there are three sets of clothes.
Jiang Yilin: “…”
This shameless Xiao Qi.
Soon, Xiao Qi changed his clothes and walked in.
He also looked very satisfied, "This sweater and trousers are really good, I like them."
Jiang Yilin put his arm around his shoulders and said through gritted teeth, "This is a meeting gift from my sister."
Xiao Qi is also a shameless person, "We are cousins, doesn't your sister also mean my sister?"
"So it's okay for me to take a portion of the gift he gave you."
Jiang Yilin: “…”
Xiao Qi is even more shameless than him. I am really impressed.
Xiao Jingchen saw the three gifts that Qiao Ye gave to Jiang Yilin and liked them very much.
He is the emperor's uncle and elder, but he can't bring himself to do that to Xiao Qi.
So he looked straight at Qiao Ye and said, "Little Ye, it seems that you haven't given the emperor's uncle a gift yet?"
This is the name that a vicious woman uses to refer to a stinky girl, and he also uses it.
When Xiao Qi heard this, he thought that the emperor's uncle was really good at it!
He also looked at Qiao Ye and pointed at himself, "There's a cousin here."
Qiao Ye twitched his lips: "..."
She is not a royal relative, so who is her uncle or cousin?
Jiang Yilin: “…”
These two royal uncle and nephew are really unbearable to look at.
And he is so shameless that he is trying to steal my sister.
Qiao Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, there are gifts for everyone."
The information Xiao Jingchen gave her about the Guanyong Marquis's mansion was very detailed and useful, and she was originally planning to give him a gift in return.
As for Xiao Qi, she had actually prepared rubber-soled leather boots and a sweater and trousers for him.
After all, she has always regarded him and Lin Hao as living advertisements.
With their promotion and free advertising, sweaters, trousers and wool yarn will definitely sell for a good price first.
When they heard her say this, smiles appeared on their faces.
Although Xiao Ye Zi is mean to others, he is really kind to them.
And about the same time.
Lu Shao, who was far away in the border military camp, also received a carriage of loving gifts from his young wife.
