Chapter 1069: Chapter 1069: Seeking Advice_1 Chapter 1069: Chapter 1069: Seeking Advice_1 “Agreed.” Yang Wenxiao held the chili peppers in high esteem as well. Yang Ye had previously acquired a very small amount, which he specially delivered for Yang Wenxiao to taste. They were quite good, far superior to the Cornelian Cherries.
However, due to the small quantity and Yang Ye’s longing look of desire, Yang Wenxiao only tasted them to appreciate the flavor.
Now, the new chili peppers had borne fruit and were not far from maturity!
“I think planting them next to the Snapdragon Flowers would be good,” he turned and instructed Gao Lian, telling him to handle this matter.
Gao Lian affird and hastened out.
The three of them continued with breakfast, and after the al, Qiao Xiaomai first went to the kitchen to start making Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. This dish was simple — she just needed to put all kinds of precious ingredients in a pot, add Spiritual Spring water, and stew slowly.
Tong Sanlang tied two piglets up next to the well, and together with Ren Zhong and several guards began slaughtering the pigs.
Yang Wenxiao stood by, watching with great interest, “These pigs have been raised very well indeed.”
This couple certainly had a natural talent for farming.
“If you like, I can send you so more after Xiaomai and I return ho,” Tong Sanlang responded thoughtfully.
Yang Wenxiao smiled even more satisfactorily and nodded his approval. He was about to speak again when a Eunuch hurried over to report: Emperor Yongan and Yang Hao had arrived.
Emperor Yongan was looking for Yang Wenxiao to consult him about the Reflecting on Hardship and Sweet mories event.
The event was proposed by Yang Wenxiao last night in a mont of anger. He had contemplated it throughout the night, forming a rough plan in his mind, but worrying that Yang Wenxiao might not be satisfied, so he ca over to seek Yang Wenxiao’s opinion.
Yang Hao had learned about the previous night’s events and specifically ca to see how Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang were doing.
Yang Ye had once complained to him about Bai Zhi’s neglect and madness. Therefore, he was also well aware of the grudge between Bai Zhi and Qiao Xiaomai. In his view, Qiao Xiaomai was an innocent victim of misfortune brought by Yang Ye’s actions.
With Yang Ye absent, he believed Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang would not be able to suppress Bai Zhi, so he ca to see how the two were faring and how Grandpa Emperor had specifically arranged things.
Seeing the father and son arrive, Yang Wenxiao did not change locations but started talking right next to the well.
“Your arrangent is good, but I think it’s not profound enough. rely eating dark, wild vegetables for a few days and wearing hemp clothing isn’t enough to make people realize just how hard the life of a farr is,” Yang Wenxiao said, his hands clasped behind his back, a reminiscent expression appearing on his face.
“Soone once said to that farrs are the most hardworking people beneath the heavens, engaging in the most arduous tasks every day, yet what they earn is barely enough to fill their stomachs. When disasters strike, they cannot even achieve that.”
“They are the hardest-working, the most diligent, and the most simple-minded people whose demands are not high—being content with wheat flour to eat and comfortable clothes to wear.”
“Such a group of people, they endure hardships but are easily contented, so they should not be wantonly hard.”
“I had almost forgotten these words, but Tong Sanlang’s speech yesterday provoked to dredge them up from deep within my mory.”
Qiao Xiaomai was just another diligent and capable village girl, why should Bai Zhi go out of her way to bully her?
Tong Sanlang’s words had struck a chord in his heart, stirring a mix of emotions. He was reminded of the words Liuli had once said to him.
Rembering Liuli’s face, he felt a weariness throughout his body.
That’s why he lost the will to pursue the matter at the ti.
Qiao Xiaomai diligently and earnestly lived her humble life; with Bai Zhi being a high and mighty princess, there was no need for her to instigate trouble and bully her.
It wasn’t Qiao Xiaomai’s fault, she didn’t have to suffer Bai Zhi’s anger.
