Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 343: Chapter 343 – Those Treasures, Unlucky

Translator: 549690339 |

The founding Emperor, in order to create a good image, often exaggerated or invented miracles to illustrate his divine right to rule. That’s pretty normal.

But the retired Emperor was different. After founding Daqi, he expressly forbade discussions about the years of war, and instead diverted people’s focus to the “Daqi Law”.

If written in history, this would definitely make him stand out.

“The reason I brought this up today is because of the meal Miss Qiao cooked. The taste, the light feeling in the stomach after eating that’s not greasy at all – it’s so much like the taste of the rice dish described by my teacher.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai curved her lips into a smile, “My cooking skills can’t be compared to those of that heroic woman.”

“I don’t know if they’re comparable, but the taste of your food is really good, no matter where it’s served.” Ma Dongshu praised with a beaming smile.

Qiao Xiaomai lowered her head, picked up her chopsticks to eat, and modestly said, “You flatter me.”

“Hey, Brother Ma, tell us more. What happened next in this intriguing story?” Qiao Changshun also picked up his bowl to drink, but his mind was still on the story told by Ma Dongshu, his eyes eagerly fixed on him.

Qiao Dami was somewhat confused and curiously watched Ma Dongshu while eating.

Ma Dongshu looked at the father and son, and clucked a bit, “What could have happened? That batch of treasure hasn’t been found until now, and that woman hasn’t been found either.”

“It has become an unsolved mystery, and many people are eyeing this treasure.”

“Including you, Elder Ma?” Qiao Xiaomai asked, her eyes twinkling with amusement.

At her words, Ma Dongshu shot her a glance and scoffed, “I don’t care for such mundane objects. What I seek is to understand all the landforms in the world, to grasp the geomancy of the world.”

Qiao Xiaomai smiled, but did not reply.

However, Ma Dongshu raised a question, “What about you, Miss Qiao? Are you tempted by this treasure?”

“No.” Qiao Xiaomai replied quickly and casually, still chewing food in her mouth.

After swallowing the food, she picked up a small bowl and scooped some Tremella Soup.

Ma Dongshu watched her actions and casually asked, “Why not?”

“If I need silver, I can earn it myself.” Qiao Xiaomai looked at him matter-of- factly, “With my skills, can’t I earn what I want?”

“But that’s the National Treasury. Just the gold and silver alone could cover the entire ground of Anping Village, along with countless ancient antiques, calligraphy, and rare treasures. Those are the accumulated wealth of the dynasty over hundreds of years,” said Ma Dongshu again.

On hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help rolling her eyes in her mind.

That gold and silver truly couldn’t cover the entire ground of Anping Village.

While she sneered inwardly, her face did not show it. She smiled and looked very simple, “Enough silver is enough. As for antiques and calligraphy, I don’t know how to read or recognize antiques.”

“Those rare treasures, which can’t be eaten or drunk, can only be kept at home like worshiping ancestors.”

“Furthermore, the accumulated wealth from the previous dynasty is, after all, the hard-earned money of the people. Those treasures were gathered from the blood and sweat of common folks, that’s not very auspicious.”

“The money I earn with my own skills is enough for our family to have our necessities without worry. Why should we get involved with those blood-stained things? I’m timid and dare not touch them.”

Ma Dongshu

He couldn’t help twitching the corners of his mouth.

Such a charming face with the simplicity of Qiao Zhaodi, what a mismatch!
