Dominate the ancient academy

Chapter 213 Are you willing?

Shu Tingyun had the same idea. He was even younger, more aggressive, and had more possibilities. As if he had thought of something, Shu Tingyun's breathing became heavier, and his face lit up: "Sister, are you telling the truth?"

Shu Xiaoxiao nodded affirmatively: "Of course, why would I lie to you? Those sweet potato seeds are still in the back mountain of the academy! Even the emperor knows about it, and he saw people carrying them in with his own eyes."

"In addition to sweet potatoes, I also discovered some vegetables such as peppers and tomatoes. Peppers can not only be used as vegetables, but also have the effect of warming the body. When the weather is unbearably cold, a bite of pepper is more effective than a glass of wine. Peppers also have a high yield. I have already prepared enough seeds, and I can start planting when school starts. I will send them to my father and second brother when I have a good harvest next year. I can put them in dishes to add flavor, and they are also very good for keeping warm when it is cold."

"To keep warm, can chili still keep warm?"

"Of course, I don't have any peppers now. I'll send Dad a batch when there is a good harvest next year. You'll know when you try it." If I had known earlier, I would have saved some. Now there are only pepper seeds, so I can only wait until next year.

"It's okay. As long as it's there, Xiaoxiao can just send it to me next year."

As long as there is, it will be fine. When it is cold at the border, people have frozen to death. Although wine can keep you warm, it also hinders your work! The soldiers on duty dare not drink too much, and the price is high. If this pepper can really keep you warm, even if the effect is not as good as wine, it is okay. If not next year, then the year after next, we can wait.

"I have only found these types for now, but I will work harder to find more food varieties in the future, so that all the people in Daning can have enough to eat three meals a day."

"Good, good, good."

Three meals a day! I dare not even think about it. Nowadays, people can only afford two meals a day. If we can have three meals a day, how rich will Daning be? I dare not even think about it!

Originally, he wanted to discuss with his daughter whether to leave the academy. After all, the academy was full of bad boys. If they wanted to study, they could hire a master in the mansion and learn there. Even if they wanted to practice martial arts, they could find a few female teachers, which was also very convenient. But now?

Shu Jingtian felt that it depended on his daughter. His opinion was not important. If his daughter wanted to go to the academy, she could go. It was an honor for those boys to study with her. And Tingfei just needed to practice martial arts well and protect his sister in the future.

"Ah!!! Sister, you are really awesome. But you don't need three meals a day. As long as you can make sure the soldiers at the border are well fed and watered, I will be at your disposal in the future. I will kill more enemies on the battlefield and earn you a title... No, I will make you a princess! You are really a lucky star for me, the whole family, no, the whole Daning, haha..."

Shu Tingfei was so happy that his big white teeth were showing. If someone else had said this, he would definitely not believe it. No one should brag like this. But since his sister said that even the emperor knew about it, it must be true. Didn’t he see that his father believed it? So he believed it too.

"Go away, don't listen to your second brother's nonsense. Xiaoxiao, just do what you think is right. Tell daddy if you need anything. The General's Mansion fully supports you. If it doesn't work, daddy will ask the emperor for help. Just tell me what you want, okay?" We can't let the brat disturb our daughter. It's better to have three meals a day.

"Second brother, it's too late for you. Xiaoxiao is now the Earl of Yongle in the court. You may have to pay respect to Xiaoxiao in the future?" Of course, this is based on the premise that the emperor does not mind Xiaoxiao's female body and can reward her fairly. As for whether it will work, it depends not only on the emperor, but also on whether their father can put in some effort.

Shu Xiaoxiao raised her head and said proudly, "Dad, second brother, I am not only the uncle of Yongle Earl, but also the nephew of the general's wife in the general's mansion. Don't call me the wrong name outside."

"No wonder Chenxi calls you uncle. Don't worry, second brother knows about it and will never call you wrong again!" Shu Tingyun patted his chest and assured. Since both his sisters were Yongle Earls, it was even more true. It wouldn't be long before he could achieve great things and realize his ambitions.

Shu Jingtian also came over to ask about the situation in the academy. Is anyone bullying you? If there is anything, remember to ask your third brother to do it. Don't get tired...

Shu Tingyu and Shu Tingfei's mouths twitched as they listened to this. They had never seen their father being so attentive. It turned out that their father was not incapable of caring for others, but it depended on who he cared for. Anyway, it wasn't them!

It took him almost an hour to leave the study. Shu Jingtian looked at the sky and thought it was getting late today, so he decided to go and talk to the emperor tomorrow to reminisce about the past.

Since his daughter wants to build a career, he, as a father, must support her and make sure that his daughter has no worries!

The next day

The father and his two sons got up early and went to the morning court together. They didn't care about the different looks in their eyes. After the busy and noisy morning court, the ministers left one after another. Shu Jingtian stood outside the hall with excitement on his face, waiting to be summoned.

Led by the eunuch, Shu Jingtian respectfully walked into the hall, half-knelt on both knees, clenched his fists and saluted, "Your Highness, long live the emperor!"

Emperor Jingming sat at the head of the table and said majestically, "Everyone else please go down first!"

The palace servants in two rows filed out silently under the majestic voice.

Seeing that there was no one else in the hall, Emperor Jingming changed his expression, put his hands behind his back and walked slowly to Shu Jingtian, and asked, "Jiaojiaoruanruan?"

Shu Jingtian: ........

"A gentle and weak temperament?"

Shu Jingtian: ........

"Soft as jade and as soft as flowers?"

Shu Jingtian: ........

"You don't even dare to touch a rabbit?"

Shu Jingtian: ........

Thinking of his daughter kicking someone through a sack, although she wasn't that weak, she did look delicate and soft! And girls should be strong so that others won't dare to bully them.

Emperor Jingming saw Shu Jingtian's head lowering, so he walked to the chess table next to him and sat down, saying, "Come and sit down!"

Shu Jingtian then stood up and sat down in front of Emperor Jingming.

"I heard that you and your daughter met in advance yesterday." Emperor Jingming asked with interest. He knew that Jingtian would definitely know what kind of person his daughter was as soon as he returned, but he never expected that the way the father and daughter met would be so... strange?

Upon receiving the news, he spat out a mouthful of tea. There were many fights in Kyoto, but no one was caught by their own father! I don't know which of the father and daughter had bad luck to encounter this.

"Your Majesty, my daughter didn't mean to hit anyone. It was those two guys who provoked her first. You can't blame my daughter! My daughter is acting on behalf of the heavens!"

Shu Jingtian was not surprised at all that the emperor knew what happened yesterday. With his daughter's ability, he would be surprised if the emperor didn't send someone to protect her! Although the emperor didn't look angry, he still had to defend his daughter.

"Don't worry, I won't take the fights between kids to heart, as long as no one gets killed." If he also has to take care of the fights in Kyoto, then he won't have to do anything every day. Does that mean he, as the emperor, has a lot of free time?

"What do you think about your daughter's affairs?"

"Your Majesty! I only have this one daughter! I have also heard about what she did. Now that she is the Duke of Yongle, I believe Your Majesty also believes in her ability. I only hope that in the future she can be treated fairly and justly as the Duke of Yongle, and stand upright in the court with her own ability."

Emperor Jingming was silent for a moment: "Are you willing to give it up?"

If she wanted to stand in the court, she could only be Lord Yongle or Marquis Yongle or any other identity in the future, but she could no longer be Miss Shu of the General's Mansion.
