Han Xiang

Chapter 35

"How could I ask? I just said a few words casually." Qiao Wan didn't take it seriously.

Qiao Wei continued to remind: "You can't hide your thoughts from me? The last time you invited him to a dinner at home, did my sister observe secretly? I haven't seen you do this to others."

Qiao Wan thought for a while and said with a smile: "Is the elder sister too nervous? Long Xiang has lived in the mansion for two years, so he is not considered an outsider. I don't know if you noticed that day, but he has changed a lot from before he left the mansion. "

"At that time, Long Xiang was infected with the plague, and his complexion must have been extremely bad. After he recovered, he recovered, and the comparison between before and after was naturally different." On that day, Long Xiang usually lowered his head when he went to the banquet, and Qiao Wei just glanced at it, and didn't think much of it. Look carefully.

After hearing this, Qiao Wan waved her hands, "Elder sister is wrong. When I saw Long Xiang again that day, she was completely different. She behaved quite confidently and was more attractive than before. I don't know if a man will know how to do it when he grows up." so."

Buddhism says that appearance is born from the heart. Although a person's appearance is innate, it is also closely related to the acquired experience. Confidence will make people feel happy, which in turn affects speech, behavior and complexion.

The Long Xiang that Qiao Wan saw that day was no longer the obedient orphan of the past, but a future man with a lot of knowledge. That self-confidence would naturally affect his demeanor, which made Qiao Wan feel attractive.

Qiao Wei showed a very surprised expression when she heard the words 'better-looking'. She grabbed Qiao Wan's little hand and asked, "Second sister, tell the truth to my sister, have you fallen in love with Long Xiang? Look, he has no chance as an orphan of a military family, so don't ask for trouble."

"I just fell in love with it? What are you talking nonsense, big sister?" Qiao Wan stood up angrily.

Qiao Wei got up and said earnestly: "Don't blame the elder sister for being serious. Since ancient times, the marriage has been arranged by the parents. The mother should want us to marry into the rich family. There are many rules in the aristocratic family. You have to change your character like Lingtiao , otherwise it will suffer in the future.”

"That's not necessarily true, maybe I'll marry a soldier family."

Qiao Wan hurriedly covered her mouth halfway through her words, thinking to herself, why did she say what she heard last night?It's a pity that it was too late for her to recover, Qiao Wei was looking at her with strange eyes.

Qiao Wei usually doesn't talk too much, but she is definitely not easy to be fooled. Seeing Qiao Wan's sudden loss of composure, she immediately knew there was something hidden in it, so she turned her head and asked: "Second sister, is there something to hide from elder sister?"

"How could it be?" Qiao Wan tried her best to conceal it.

Qiao Wei chased after her fiercely and said, "What does it mean to marry a military household? With my second sister's intelligence, she won't say this without a reason. If you don't explain it clearly to me, then I can only ask my mother."

"Don't, I'll tell you." Although Qiao Wan could act like a baby in front of Qiao Rui, her mother, Chen Shi, didn't like it, so she could only choose to give in after simple consideration.

If Qiao Wei knew the content of the conversation last night, her parents would punish her and share the damage among others. Although Qiao Wan is younger than Qiao Wei, she has a lot more heart than her sister.

Qiao Wan found an excuse to send the servant away, and then whispered into Qiao Wei's ear after closing the doors and windows, because half of the topic was about herself, Qiao Wei's face turned red and white when she heard it, and she fell silent in place after hearing it.

"Eldest sister, don't be too disappointed. Father loves you so much, he will definitely recruit a young hero. In fact, marrying a young general is not bad. What if you can become the second Sun Ce?"

For her sister's consolation, Qiao Wei just smiled and sighed: "How can there be so many heroes? Who is married to a husband and a child?"

"If it is really selected from the officers, I don't know who the brother-in-law will be, but Long Yunqi's age is appropriate." Qiao Wan pinched her chin and said to herself.

Qiao Wei shook her head lightly, "Even if mother is willing to lower her requirements, a family background like Long Xiang's has absolutely no chance, unless he can make some military exploits, but this person is single-minded and timid, and he doesn't even have the slightest advantage in him. I can't grasp the opportunity to make meritorious service."

"No, big sister is wrong." Qiao Wan waved her hand and added: "Today the third brother went to the camp with his father, and asked him to follow Long Xiang as an example."

"What do you mean?" Qiao Wei was puzzled.

Qiao Wan then told Gao Leng's elder sister the news about Qiao Ni's return from the beginning. Qiao Wei thought of the picture of her skin being torn and bruised, and remembered that Long Xiang was so tolerant, and thought she was mistaken?Long Xiang's performance was a little brilliant.

The Qiao family sisters were whispering, but they didn't even notice that the topic was mostly related to Long Xiang, and Long Xiang was lying on the bed and using the mental transfer method to relieve his pain.

"Uncle Xi, take it easy."

Long Xiang was sweating profusely from the pain, and Tang Xie, who applied medicine to his back, joked, "Uncle Xie holds a knife in his hand, and his hands are full of calluses. If it's not that you can't bring women into the camp, I'll find someone A young woman will do it for you."

Those teachers' techniques are really gentle. Tsk tsk
Damn it, the spirit transfer method was interrupted again.

"When Yunqi's injury heals next year, I'll find someone to look for, and pick a woman of the right age for you to marry. The Long family is only you now, and it's a serious matter to marry a wife and continue the incense." Tang Xi continued using the topic nagging.

Long Xiang didn't rush to refute, but asked wittily: "Uncle Xie, you are still under fifty, why don't you remarry again? Aren't you the only one left in the Tang family? Remember to continue the incense."

Tang Xi was stunned, and smiled wryly: "Huh? Yun Qi, Yun Qi, you are much smarter than Brother Yuan. Now the world is in chaos, and Uncle Xi is already in his forties. He may fall on the battlefield one day, leaving orphans behind." The widowed mother is still the same, and finally died in the rebellion or starvation? You have never tasted it when you are young, don't learn from Uncle Xi."

"Don't be pessimistic, Uncle Xi, don't you still have me? You want to marry us together." Long Xiang said in his heart that although I am only sixteen now, I lived to my thirties in my previous life. Don't you see more than you?
"You're so slippery. If you can really settle down in the future, it doesn't matter if I continue." Tang Ju shook his head and sighed.

Hearing what Tang Xi said, Long Xiang lowered his voice and asked: "Uncle Zhong and his family, don't send them to the south for now, wait for a few months when no one pays attention to this matter, and then let them use the reason of life difficulties to divide them into batches and time. Escape from Shouchun quietly."

"Don't worry Yun Qi, I can handle this matter well." Tang Yu nodded solemnly.

The pain in his back was severe again, Long Xiang slowly closed his eyes, changed the subject and asked, "Is there any news about Xiao Pei? Did General Ji Ling defeat Liu Bei?"

"No one in the camp mentioned it. If Yun Qi pays attention to this matter, I'll find someone to ask about it."

"You don't need to pay attention deliberately. Xiaopei's defenders are not many, and the victory or defeat will be determined soon. You should be careful when you inquire about the news, otherwise others will think that we are really connected."

"Well, I see."

Although Long Xiang was secretly helping Liu Bei, he never revealed his feelings in front of his most trusted subordinates. After all, Liu Bei was really not considered a high-quality stock among the princes at this time, and Long Xiang did not want to explain to others one by one. .

After lying on the couch for more than ten days, Tang Jue hurriedly came to Long Xiang's side, and he brought the news of Ji Ling's withdrawal.
