Chapter 134 Chili Being Targeted

There are only a few peppers left, why are you targeting them all?

Shu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt that the token in her hand was not fragrant at all?

But looking at the freshly prepared senior brother, Shu Xiaoxiao couldn't refuse, so she said, "I only have a little left. Let's have dinner together tonight and eat the remaining peppers so that you don't worry about it."

"I've already prepared enough pepper seeds for next year. I've bought all your peppers for next year. There really isn't any left this year. If you eat more, you'll only have the seeds."

Shu Xiaoxiao sighed. At the beginning, she should have eaten alone and not told anyone. Although she didn't know how to do anything else, she could still fry some chili powder without any problem, and she didn't have to worry about so many people.

She has preserved all the chili peppers. Even if there are too many, dozens of acres will definitely be enough. Everyone can enjoy them to their heart's content next year.

The Sixth Prince touched his nose and finally did not refuse. He no longer had any hope in his father's approval, so he just regarded eating with his junior brother as a way to cultivate their relationship.

Yun Qinghan took out his gift, which was a short sword. It was longer than a dagger, but its appearance was exquisite and amazing. It looked more like a work of art than a weapon. The blade was as thin as a cicada's wing, and it shone with a cold light. The unique patterns on it were complicated and mysterious, exuding a unique charm. Shu Xiaoxiao was stunned at first sight.

"Senior Brother, is this for me? It's so beautiful, right?" Shu Xiaoxiao asked in surprise.

As expected, it has to be our ancestors. The craftsmanship is simply amazing. It is simple and elegant, and exudes a sense of mystery. It is definitely not comparable to modern craftsmanship. I love it!

"This dagger suits you very well. Use it for self-defense."

Seeing Shu Xiaoxiao's happy look, Yun Qinghan was also very satisfied. He got this dagger by chance. The dagger was good and sharp enough, but it was too delicate and not suitable for him. He had left it unused. This time, when he was thinking about giving his junior brother a gift, he thought of this dagger, and it was indeed suitable for his junior brother.

"Thank you, brother. I like it very much."

Seeing his little apprentice's happy look, Master Chu nodded with satisfaction and said, "You two will be brothers in the future, so you should take care of each other. I am not worried about you two. You are both people with titles, so you don't have to study as hard as thousands of other students to compete for that one in a million ranking.

But the higher the status, the greater the responsibility, and you must not neglect the necessary knowledge. Your eldest and second brothers do not need to take part in the imperial examinations. As for you, Xiaoxiao, you should decide whether to participate based on your own situation.

I hope you brothers can help each other and make Daning stronger together." Principal Chu was full of hope.

He had thought that his apprentice would have to go to the examination hall, after all, the test would show how well the teacher taught him. But the young apprentice chose a different path, and he was not a conservative person. As long as it was beneficial to Daning, those formalities were fine. At most, he would supervise the young apprentice more often and make sure that his knowledge was good enough.

Actually, he had never expected that his three disciples were all of high status. If those petty-minded and jealous people saw this, they would definitely ridicule him for accepting disciples based on status and for being scornful of the poor and in love with the rich.

In fact, he himself did not expect that the reason why he chose the eldest disciple was because the emperor had asked him personally, and he could not disobey the imperial order; the second disciple was because he had some friendship with Marquis Dingbei, and Yun Qinghan himself was also smart, so he valued talent and offered it to him.

As for his young disciple, he originally thought that he was also a disciple from a poor family, and what he was good at was exactly what he was studying now. This was their destined relationship as master and disciple!

Speaking of which, he has quite a few connections in the imperial court. His two older disciples basically don't need his help with planning. But when a younger disciple comes, who is all alone and helpless, it's just right for him to make detailed plans, protect the younger disciple, and bring honor to the family.

As a result, before his status as a disciple was confirmed, the young disciple's title was given. He was awarded the title based on his own ability, and he didn't contribute much.

This also made the series of plans he had previously tailored for his young apprentice go down the drain. After all, his young apprentice was already an old man at this age, and he should conserve his energy and study hard. There was no need for him to attract unnecessary attention.

After all, if you want to be in the limelight, without solid knowledge and foundation, it is easy to fail. As the saying goes, a blacksmith must be strong himself. The little apprentice has already been in the limelight for a while, and he still needs to strengthen himself next!
