Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

The emperor had just finished his morning court session when he heard Qiao Jian'er request an audience and said, "Summon her."

Qiao Jianer entered the Golden Palace and bowed.

"Princess Dingxiang, what can I do for you?"

The emperor's ordinary questioning tone was filled with an innate majesty.

Qiao Jianer said, "I have come to see the Emperor regarding the recruitment of soldiers for the fiefdom."

"Oh, tell me about it."

"I have three uncles and four brothers. The last time the Kuiniu Kingdom attacked for the first time, my uncles and brothers worked together to defeat the larger force with fewer men, completely annihilating the Kuiniu Kingdom. They were able to perform so well because I taught them some battle formations so that they could practice and form battle arrays."

The emperor showed a thoughtful look on his face: "It turns out that the Qiao family is not only a promising person like you, but also a family full of loyal and filial people."

Qiao Jian'er continued, "My three brothers have therefore been promoted to reserve lieutenants, and my other uncles and brothers have also become generals, commanding a thousand men, each with a strength of five hundred or so, for a total of five thousand. These soldiers have long been in the army and are proficient in several formations. They are highly adaptable to new formations and can learn them quickly. I think that instead of recruiting and retraining new soldiers, it would be better for my uncles and brothers to be stationed directly in Qingfengyuan. This way, they can better serve the emperor."

The emperor nodded. "That's a good idea. However, as long as the sending and receiving locations are both okay, you don't have to come to the palace specifically to deploy 5,000 troops."

"My uncle and brothers are leading their troops towards the capital. Even if there are only fifty, let alone five thousand men, I will report this to the Emperor."

The emperor immediately understood what she meant, and a look of admiration flashed in his eyes.

He is only thirteen years old, but he has such awareness. Indeed, the capital is different from other places, and Qiao Jian'er is young and promising, so it is inevitable that he will arouse envy. At that time, if someone with ulterior motives gossips about him, he may be misled.

"How many of your uncles and brothers are here?"

Qiao Jian'er had already learned from the letter and said, "Eldest uncle, third uncle, second cousin, and third cousin, four in total."

"You will concurrently serve as the garrison commander, and I will send another thousand elite troops. This will bring the total to six thousand. Your uncle and brothers will each lead two thousand soldiers."

The emperor originally planned to send a general, but Qiao Jianer knew his limits, so he gave up the idea.

Moreover, she is in charge of her own army, and the whole army is united, which makes it more efficient.

Qiao Jianer's arrival earned him the position of captain for his uncle and brothers.

She was somewhat aware of one thing: if the emperor was satisfied, he would not remain silent.

It was just a captain of two thousand men. For the emperor, it was just a drizzle of grace, but for the Qiao family, it was a step up.

Now that my uncle and his family have arrived, there is also my second uncle, brother Dayong, and brother Xiaomeng at home. There are three vacancies for captains in the Guanning Iron Cavalry station. If nothing goes wrong, the position will fall on them.

Originally there was some competition between them, but after several people were assigned to the fiefdom, they all had their positions.

Qiao Jianer felt deeply that this decision was right.

Ten days later, all the villagers in the fiefdom had planted new rice.

Some of the crops were sown early in spring, and some of them had grown, so we just dug them up.

Anyway, the county lord has filed a lawsuit, so if the production is insufficient, it can be supplemented. If the production is high, everyone will benefit.

In the blink of an eye, I have been in Beijing for more than half a month.

The three siblings visited many places, tasted different delicacies every day, and the things they bought filled up several bed boards.

Just don't be too happy.

At some important banquets of high-ranking families, the Pei brothers would also bring Qiao Jianer with them, so that she could get to know more of the nobles in the capital.

Qiao Lianer has a good memory and can remember many people after being introduced once.

She is polite, modest, and tries not to attract attention, which has won her a lot of favor.

If anyone intends to make things difficult for her, the Pei brothers will protect her.

Qiao Jianer came up with an idea and asked to be taken to more aristocratic gatherings.

Pei Zhujin was a little surprised. Qiao Jian'er didn't like to talk much at the banquet. He was still wondering if he had disturbed her by bringing her along.

Seeing his confusion, Qiao Jianer said, "Master, I have some goods that are perfect for selling to the wealthy families."

The wealth of these wealthy families could not be spent in eight lifetimes. If they became her main clients, it would definitely bring her a lot of money.

After looking at the housing prices in Beijing, she realized how insignificant she had and that she couldn't even afford a good house facing the street.

Pei Zhujin suddenly understood that it was all for business. No wonder Miss Qiao suddenly became so active.

He immediately agreed and said, "The capital is not only home to royal families and aristocratic families, but also to rising stars and many wealthy businessmen. Since you need it, I will take you to any place that invites you."

Otherwise, unless they were particularly close, he would find an excuse to shirk the responsibility.

The next day, when several people were riding horses at Pei's horse farm, their subordinates brought them an invitation letter.

Pei Zhujin smiled as he saw it. "This is an invitation from Prince Heng's Mansion. They have several varieties of peonies planted in their large gardens. They are all in bloom right now, and it's the perfect season for viewing them. Every year at this time, Prince Heng's Mansion sends an invitation."

"Will there be a lot of people?" asked Qiao Jianer.

"Everyone above the fourth rank will receive an invitation."

Those were big fat sheep, Qiao Jianer almost drooled.

Qiao Jian'er is a county princess, and a thirteen-year-old one at that. She gained her status through meritorious service. It is only appropriate to take her alone to such a garden party.

Qiao Dacheng and Qiao Zhizhi asked Pei Shijiu to play with them.

Pei Shijiu is still decorating the house, and by now, the progress is finally halfway through.

He didn't let Qiao Jianer go to see it, and only said that he would give her a surprise when the time comes.

"Brother, I want to go to the garden party too. Let Sister Rong accompany them." Pei Shijiu said, "I go to see the peonies every year. I can't miss it this year."

Prince Pei had a half-brother who was a General of the Central Army. He was given a house a street away after the family division. He had three sons and one daughter. His daughter was named Pei Qingrong, who just turned sixteen this year.

Other illegitimate children would feel inferior when seeing legitimate children, but she was naturally lively and optimistic, loved to play, and often came to visit the two brothers.

During this period, she went to her grandmother's house in another city and only came back the day before yesterday.

Pei Shijiu asked someone to invite her over and explain his intentions.

"a piece of cake."

Pei Qingrong readily agreed, looked at the brother and sister, and smiled: "Leave it to me, come with me, I guarantee you will have a great time."

The girl has a pretty face, bright eyes and white teeth. When she speaks, the light in her eyes twinkles, and her smile is even more charming.

Dacheng was stunned for a moment, as if something was stirring his heart.
