Han Xiang

Chapter 9 I'm Not Worthy (For Favorites)
Qiao Rui shuddered, and only now did she understand what Chen meant. Originally, she wanted to marry Qiao Wei to the Yuan family, and she still dreamed of being a relative of the emperor.

It was a few years ago, when the Chen family had secretly mentioned to Qiao Rui that among the courtiers under Yuan Shu, there were only two daughters of the Qiao family, who were not much different in age from Yuan Yao, and they might be able to marry in the future.

At that time, Qiao Rui's children were young, and the Yuan family was very powerful, so it was very likely that the marriage would be completed internally, and it was unlikely that he would marry the daughter of the general's family. Unexpectedly, the Chen family would mention it again.

"Madam, don't even think about it. Your hometown is also Runan. You should know, but it's too far away from Yuan's family. We are not qualified." Qiao Rui waved his hands.

"Our daughter is beautiful and beautiful, Mr. Yao will definitely like it. Wei'er will reach the age of Ji next year, and the age is also just right. The general has to fight for it. My lord relies on you so much. What if she agrees?" Chen's eyes were full of anticipation. Watch Qiaorui.

Qiao Rui smiled wryly and said, "What's the use of relying heavily on this? What about the beauty of the daughter? Even if Lu Bu's daughter seems to have no salt, the lord will not hesitate to choose the latter, because the other party is a prince of the separatist side, and her husband is just a subordinate." will be"

"Then what should we do? Wei'er and Ji are going to be married soon, none of Shouchun's civil and military men who are at the same level as the general has an unmarried man of the right age, so we can't find a worse one?" Chen's brows were furrowed.

"There's nothing wrong with it." Qiao Rui shook his head, expressing that he didn't care.

The Chen family said seriously: "The family is right, since ancient times, Wei'er can't marry into Yuan's family, and she can't condescend to marry."

Qiao Rui nodded in response: "As a husband, I have my own concerns, and the daughter of the Qiao family will not worry about marrying."

"General, someone like Long Xiang, no matter how talented he is, he is our retainer, and he is not even qualified to recruit." Chen reminded in a deep voice.

Qiao Rui didn't think much of it at all, so she casually said, "My husband understands, we'll talk about it later."

Chen meditated for a moment, and then said: "When Sun Bofu captured Lujiang, my concubine persuaded the general to find someone to be a matchmaker. It is hard to find such a young hero with an equal family background, but the general hesitated at that time, and finally let Wu Jing find someone to snatch him. first."

"The reason why I am hesitant to be a husband is not because the Sun family has a lot of background. Marrying our daughter to Sun Ce as a wife, there is no guarantee that the lord will not be suspicious. Besides, Wei'er was still young at that time." Qiao Rui said, patted his robe and stood up. He planned to find someone to propose a marriage proposal to Yuan Shu.

"But Wei'er is fourteen years old now, so I have to make a plan early. Where is the general going now?" Seeing that Qiao Rui got up and seemed to be leaving, Chen asked urgently.

"My lord asked me to wait for the afternoon to discuss the matter. It's about time now. There is no need to worry about Wei'er's affairs. If there is no suitable one, I will keep it at home. My Qiao family has no shortage of rice." After finishing speaking, Qiao Rui raised his hand and strode out. flower hall.

Chen looked at Qiao Rui's back, a trace of bitterness appeared on her delicate face.

What is the use of not lacking rice?If you can't get married for a long time, won't you be an old girl?What's more, Qiao Wan is only one year younger, which is twice as troublesome.

Just as Qiao Rui left, Mrs. Chen also took lotus steps back to the back house. When she passed the corridor in the backyard, she accidentally found her three children sitting and chatting at the stone table under the pavilion.

Chen walked over lightly, only to find that several people were actually discussing Long Xiang.

"Eldest sister, second sister, have you noticed that Long Xiang has changed so much, his height is almost close to that of his father."

"He's sixteen, so it's normal to have a hair like this. The third younger brother, I heard that you were scolded by your father for being rude in the flower hall just now, right? Why are you not big or small again? Since his father gave him the sign, We can’t call him by his first name.”

"He's not here, why did Second Sister hit me on the head again?"

"So what if he grows taller? He's just the son of a military family, and he might disappear someday."

"Sister, you can't say that. I just asked Li Shiwei, Long Xiang. Yunqi, he was organized by his father in the rear army, and he played last every time. Most of them lead the team to clean up the battlefield. It is not easy to die. , and this person"

"how is he?"

"Li Shiwei said that he was lazy and timid, and often tried to lead the team to avoid battles, so the Qubu he commanded had zero casualties and zero military achievements in several battles during Xuzhou, and he didn't even get wine for the past few days."

"No wonder he drank so fast today, he wanted to make up for it at the banquet, but Long Xiang is so cunning? He stayed in our house for two years in vain, and he lost his father's face."

"Elder sister, you didn't call out the word just now, and you still..."

"Third brother, stop talking nonsense, cowards are not worthy of the title."

"Sister, don't get excited. Since Long Yunqi is so miserable, why did father invite him to the banquet? The two of them frequently drank with each other at the banquet. Isn't this in line with common sense?"

"Elder Sister, Second Sister is right."

"Perhaps his father took pity on him and thought of his father's sacrifice, otherwise how could it be."

"I don't think so. Just now Long Yunqi looked quite good, and when he was drinking with his father, he was full of pride. This kind of aura is not like a cowardly person at all, and has the elder sister noticed that he is not only more cheerful than a year ago, but also It looks more pleasing to the eye."

"Have it?"

"Elder Sister, Second Sister is right. He used to lower his head every day, and never saw him smile. If it wasn't for his voice, I doubt it's Long Xiang Yunqi."

"The more I talk about it, the more mysterious it becomes. It is estimated that this person is used to life in the camp, and he is just a Guizhou leader after all."

The three siblings discussed Long Xiang as the topic and sat under the pavilion to discuss intensely. Mrs. Chen shook her head and walked away after listening for a while.

The two daughters are similar in appearance and height, but have completely different personalities. The eldest daughter, Qiao Wei, is very similar to her mother, Chen Shi, while the second daughter, Qiao Wan, seems to be more intelligent.

Mrs. Chen walked to the corner of the corridor, turned around and glanced at the small pavilion in the courtyard, thinking about Wan'er so much, she must be very tired in the future, right?After all, the smarter you are, the more troubles you have.

The sound of cicadas burst out in summer, and was regarded as a topic of conversation. At first, Long Xiang pretended to be drunk in the Flower Hall of Qiaofu, and then had to work hard to pretend to be asleep when he returned to the barracks.

There is no way, Long Xiang must persevere in order not to collapse the character.

Closing his eyes and lying on the bed, Long Xiang complained about how he offended the mother and daughter of the Qiao family?He also thought that he had to avoid him as much as possible in the future, as long as he didn't see each other, he would have no troubles. In fact, he didn't know the crux of the matter at all. The mother and daughter of the Qiao family didn't hate Long Xiang, but just disliked his origin.

Long Xiang was a civil engineer in his previous life, and pragmatism was his principle of doing things. He was very surprised when he saw Xiao Qiao just now, but because he was too rational, he didn't have much trouble.

When Long Xiang was in college, there were very few girls in his class. What was ridiculous was that the only three 'dinosaurs' were also popular among boys in the school, mainly because they were rare and expensive.

After joining the work, it was even worse. Almost all the workers on the construction site were male, and the only female comrades were also the daughters-in-law brought by the workers. They either helped their husbands or cooked for them on the construction site.

It may be because he has been away from the city for too long and has seen too few women. When Long Xiang saw the cooking aunt for a while, he always felt pretty.

Later, it appeared from the media and rescued the majority of civil engineering workers. The girlfriend Yun, who sang and danced in various apps, was the stuff of dreams for workers at night.

Long Xiang once came to the conclusion that Tumu people don't need to marry a wife at all, because I'm really not worthy of being outside all year round and not taking a bath for ten and a half months.
