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

Song Ruier made up his mind. He asked a student's birth date and then stuck it on the scarecrow's forehead.

After a few days, the student really started to become confused and dazed. He started to lose his focus in class and his eyes wandered, as if he had lost his soul.

Song Ruier used the excuse that she had a miraculous medicine that could help the student, and got 30,000 taels from the other party's family. When the note with the student's birth date and horoscope was revealed, the student's condition had indeed improved.

This is a good way to make money, but it cannot be abused. Song Ruier is not very happy about it. The most important thing is that Qiao Jianer is not affected at all.

His goal was not achieved at all.

He began to realize that the monk was probably not lying to him. It was very likely that Qiao Jianer had given a false birth date and horoscope, or it was possible that her life was too difficult. He needed to observe for a while.

After waiting for another half a month, the New Year was almost here and the capital was bustling with activity. Qiao Lian'er took more time to spend with her family. She was often seen going out shopping and she looked as usual.

She doesn't seem to have any worries. Although she doesn't like to laugh much, it can be seen that she lives a comfortable and relaxed life.

Song Ruier was basically certain that the birth date and horoscope given by Qiao Lianer was fake, otherwise it would be impossible for her to have no influence at all.

He no longer dared to appear in front of Qiao Jianer openly. He stood at the corner of the street, staring at her gloomily.

At the very beginning, when the Taoist priest arrived, Qiao Jianer took precautions and eliminated the source.

"Rui'er, you're still keeping an eye on me. Didn't you say I'd turn into a living dead in a month? It's been almost two months, and I'm fine."

A voice came from behind, which scared Song Ruier.

When I turned around, I saw Qiao Jianer standing there with a funny look on his face.

"You--" Song Rui'er gritted her teeth, but couldn't utter a word. There seemed to be a faint fishy smell in her throat.

He killed a person and now has nightmares every night. He got 200,000 taels of silver, but who would have thought that he would end up with nothing.

Qiao Jianer is a cautious person in everything. In the end, he was too confident at the beginning.

"Come to think of it, I don't know what trick you used this time. Would you mind telling me?"

Qiao Jian'er also secretly followed Song Rui'er, but she didn't stare at her all the time, so she didn't notice anything.

Song Ruier was so angry that her whole body was shaking.

He pursed his lips and walked quickly forward without saying a word.

"Is it that time when a Taoist priest asked me for my birth date and time?" Qiao Lianer said again.

Song Ruier paused, did not answer, and disappeared in a hurry.

Seeing his reaction, Qiao Jianer was basically certain.

That time, she was shopping with her sisters when a Taoist priest suddenly came and said he wanted to tell their fortunes.

She habitually kept a careful eye on things and didn't let the Taoist priest calculate the birth date for her family. She also gave a fake birth date and horoscope herself.

She herself came from another world and had such a large space, so she had established a cognition early on that some things could not be explained by common sense and science. Things like birth date and horoscopes must not be known to outsiders, as they were related to a person's luck and destiny.

At the gate of Qiao's house, a carriage stopped and a handsome young man in a white cloak got out, holding a scroll in his hand.

It was Lin Songyan, the third son of the Yuhua Mansion.

He sent a note to Qiao Zhizhi the day before yesterday, saying that he would visit her today with his paintings.

Butler Chai invited the guests in. In the west warm room, Qiao Zhizhi had already asked someone to prepare tea and snacks.

Lin Songyan unfolded the scroll and Qiao Zhizhi commented on it patiently. There was a waft of incense and a flickering fire inside. Looking in from the window, the scene was very heartwarming.

Qiao Lian'er sat under the pavilion, hugging a heater, playing chess with Pei Shijiu. The servants in the yard were busy with the New Year decorations, hanging lanterns, pasting window flowers and couplets. The flower trees and potted plants were also covered with ribbons and small lanterns.

She glanced towards the West Warm Pavilion and said, "Sister Zhizhi and the Third Young Master of the Lin Family are a good match."

Pei Shijiu dropped a child: "They have feelings for each other, the Lin family should know it, and it's time to take some action."

Qiao Jianer paused, thinking that more than half a year had passed since Lin Songyan approached Qiao Zhizhi. Lin Songyan was a reserved and restrained person. He had come to the Qiao family several times, and each time he had a very reasonable reason, but everyone could see that he had feelings for Sister Zhizhi.

Time flies. Sister Zhizhi is already eighteen years old, and Lin Songyan is nineteen years old. It is the age when men and women should get married. The eldest and second sons of the Lin family are already married. It is impossible for the Lin family's parents not to care about the marriage of the third son. He is also trying to show his affection to the girl from the Qiao family, but the Lin family's attitude is a bit ambiguous.

"Every family has its own considerations, and Lin Songyan didn't make things difficult for Sister Zhizhi. People who learn painting often come to Sister Zhizhi with their paintings. This is a very normal thing in itself." Qiao Lianer said.

There was a grand banquet before New Year's Eve, held at Prince Heng's Mansion. All high-ranking families above the fifth rank were invited. Qiao Jian'er didn't attend banquets very often, but she had to go to this one.

Prince Heng is the emperor's brother from the same mother. They have been close to each other since childhood. Sometimes, what Prince Heng does is instructed by the emperor to gather nobles together to express the closeness of the royal family. This is a means to win people's hearts.

The person who delivered the invitation said, "It would be lonely for the princess to go alone. It would be better to ask her sisters to come with her. Miss Zhizhi is now a famous painter in the capital. It would be best if she could go with her."

Then he handed over another note, which was addressed to Qiao Zhizhi.

"Okay." Qiao Jianer agreed.

Sister Zhizhi became famous, and she sold a lot of good paintings. Her value skyrocketed, and she was already a regular guest at many banquets.

Before the banquet, news came from Liuzhou that Eunuch Qi summoned Qiao Jianer to the palace to meet the emperor.

The emperor was very happy, his eyes lit up, and he changed his usual majesty. As soon as he saw Qiao Jianer, he said.

"Thanks to Jian'er's brilliant idea, the disaster in Liuzhou has been resolved, the people have enough food to eat, and the pressure on the government has been greatly reduced. This is a great achievement, and the merits are immeasurable."

"I have decided to wait until the Lantern Festival to tell you a good news."

Qiao Jianer didn't ask what the good news was, but just expressed his gratitude as usual.

"Jian'er is not curious." The emperor was a little surprised.

"I also want to keep this surprise and reveal it when the time comes." Qiao Lianer said.

The emperor laughed heartily. "It's the end of the year now, and I'm so busy with all the affairs that I can't spare the time. I need to reserve a good day for your matter."

"But the reward you deserve will be carried back to you now."

When Qiao Lian'er returned home, he was followed by a team of eunuchs, carrying eight heavy boxes. On each box, there was a Chinese character "Fu" (blessing) pasted to celebrate the New Year.

Normally, the emperor’s reward is two boxes. Last time, when Qiao Jianer made contributions in correcting the totem of Xiufeng Kingdom, he only received six boxes, and the specifications were even smaller, so the Qiao family was a little surprised this time.
