Chapter 84:

Xiao Qiao spent three days at his home in Dongjun.

These short three days are actually the most comfortable moments she has had in the past few years. Because it seems that I finally see a real hope for the future that can be grasped in my hands.

What's more uplifting than hope for the future?

Mrs. Ding loved her in every possible way, Adi accompanied her sooner or later. Her father, Qiao Ping, had been constrained for many years, his ambitions had been stagnant, and he was depressed. Although she is busy, she knows that her daughter is concerned about the affairs of Yanzhou. Every night when she comes back, she will summon Xiao Qiao to the study for a while. Adi is also by her side. The two listen to their father talk about the affairs he has started during the day and look forward to the future. uplifting.

On this day, Xiao Qiao also received a letter from Bi She, saying that he had arrived in Sucheng and was waiting for her arrival.

Before leaving Yuyang, Xiao Qiao met Zongji again. In addition to thanking him solemnly, he also asked Zongji to bring the news that he was about to leave Dongjun to Bi She. upper side.

She has already arrived in Dongjun, Zong Ji should be faster than her.

According to estimates, Bi She also received the letter at this time.

It's just that Xiao Qiao didn't expect that he had already arrived in Sucheng and was waiting for her.

Sucheng is less than two hundred miles away from Dongjun and is a small town under the rule of Yanzhou.

The letter was written by Da Qiao, saying that he and his wife were very happy when they learned from Zong Ji that she was going south, and hoped to meet her. Originally, she wanted to come over by herself, to save Xiao Qiao from tossing and turning on the road, but because of her pregnancy, Bi She didn't let her come out. He went to Sucheng, picked up Xiao Qiao, and then sent her to meet her in Lingbi.

Xiao Qiao is happy to see the letter.

In fact, this trip was able to return home smoothly, and Xiao Qiao also knew that it was Madam Xu's kindness to her, and she was also grateful. Since things in the Dongjun family have gone in the direction she hoped, the rest is up to her father. What's more, no matter what, you have to come step by step, and it can't be done overnight in the short term, and it doesn't make much sense to stay by yourself. So Xiao Qiao is also thinking that when she meets Big Qiao Bi She soon, she should return north.

So on the night of receiving the letter, Xiao Qiao waited until his father came back and met in the study as he had done a few nights ago, and said that he planned to leave tomorrow.

It was only a few days after her daughter returned home, and Qiao Ping was really reluctant to leave. Don't speak for a while.

Xiao Qiao was also reluctant to give up, but she still smiled: "Father, it is also a favor from my grandmother that my daughter can return home this time. My father also knows that when I went south, my grandmother was not long after her illness, and my husband was on an expedition. When I came back, I visited my aunt and things went smoothly with my father, so I should have gone back as soon as possible. I really can’t bear to leave my father and Adi, but if I go back too late, I’m afraid I will lose my grandmother.”

Qiao Ping did not understand in his heart. How can a married daughter stay by her side as long as she used to? Nodding: "I understand for my father. I will send you north for my father tomorrow."

Qiao Ci suddenly coughed.

Xiao Qiao glanced at Adi, saw him frown at her, and remembered the thing they had discussed during the day. Finally made a decision. He gave him a look back.

Qiao Ci immediately stepped forward and said, "My father still remembers the nameless man who refused Xue Tai outside Juye City and saved his son's life before the battle?"

Qiao Ping was so impressed by the scene that day, it was impossible to forget. He suddenly heard his son mention it, and said sincerely: "Of course. Not only did this person take your life back from General Xue Tai, Cao Xu and Zhang Biao, but also in the chaotic battle between the two armies, he also entered and exited like no one, and was unstoppable. After that, he disappeared. I sent people to look for him everywhere for my father, but unfortunately there is no whereabouts. I still regret it when I think of it to this day."

Xiao Qiao said, "Father, do you remember the green-eyed Bishe at home?"

Qiao Ping looked at Xiao Qiao: "Is that the manu who kidnapped your cousin?"

Xiao Qiao said, "Father, don't call him that again. He is the nameless person who saved Adi that day."

Qiao Ping looked at his daughter and his son.

Qiao Ci hurriedly said: "Sister's words are true. When that person sent me back to my father's front, I saw him traveling with my aunt at home before, and I recognized him on the spot. I'm just not sure yet. After Tai withdrew, his son kept paying attention to him, and when he saw him leaving alone, he chased after him. At first he didn't want to pay attention to me, but he couldn't stand my pursuit, and finally stopped and said a few words to me. He said he I'm married to my sister. I'm sure it's him!"

Qiao Ping was very surprised. He came back to his senses and slowly looked at Xiao Qiao: "Man Man! To be honest, did you hide what you did from me that day?"

Seeing that his father had guessed something, Xiao Qiao stopped hiding it, and simply said: "Don't hide it from my father. A-jie and Bi She had feelings for each other at the beginning, but because of their status, they followed the etiquette. I knew about them. Their status Although it is not equal, but in my opinion, it is a match made in heaven. It was only after my persuasion that my sister left home with Bi She. "

Qiao Ping was stunned, and his heart ached: "That's how you are, marrying yourself into the Wei family instead of your elder sister?"

Seeing that his father was about to get angry, Xiao Qiao hurried up to make a fist and lightly beat his back: "Father, calm down. Originally, I thought that my uncle had lost my sister, and that if the marriage proposal failed, I would listen to my father's advice. I want to marry you. Since things started because of me, I can only get married..."

Qiao Ping remembered what happened that day, and wanted to scold Xiao Qiao with a stern face, but when she saw her widened black and white eyes looking at him with a begging expression, her heart softened, and her words turned into a sigh: "You It's too reckless, and even hides it from me..."

He sighed again and shook his head.

Xiao Qiao smiled: "Father, the source of wealth and honor should be considered, but the hero does not ask where he came from. Chen She entered the family as Tian Fu, and the Marquis of Changping was born as a cavalry slave. Although Bi She came from a lowly background, he knew that he would be in the future. Wouldn't there be something extraordinary? Besides, just now, my father said it himself, if he didn't show up to save him that day, wouldn't A-di be in danger?"

Qiao Ping was silent, and then said: "What my daughter said is very true! The courage of Bi She for her father's view on that day is rare in the world, and I often think of it. When he was on my horse farm, he was like a dragon trapped in shallow water. Soar to the sky!"

Xiao Qiao said: "I don't dare to hide my father. This time I went south, and I also wanted to meet him and his wife. I received a letter during the day, and he is now waiting for me in Suxian to pick me up with my sister. Let's meet. I was thinking, when I meet my sister, I will go north immediately."

Qiao Ping snorted: "So it is!"

After pondering for a while, he said: "Since your cousin is willing to follow him, that's over. He took the shot that day and saved your brother's life before the battle. I have always been grateful for my father. I regretted that I couldn't find it. Now that the person who came to that day knows, he is now in our Yanzhou territory again, to go there with you tomorrow for my father, and thank him in person."

Although Bi She rescued Qiao Ci, he left Yanzhou as a slave of the Qiao family and took Da Qiao with him. According to the current law, catching him is still a death penalty. If Uncle Qiao Yue knew about it, he would probably just snort coldly, thinking that the savior of the family slave is justified.

But her father was as open-minded as she had hoped. Not only did he never mention the old things, but he also said that he would thank him in person. Xiao Qiao loved his father even more in his heart. Then he smiled and shook his head: "I told my father about this, just to let my father have an idea. Bi She saved Adi that day, not to win his father's gratitude. And I didn't tell him beforehand that his father would also be with me. Go with me. If my father suddenly shows up, I am afraid that he will not be inconvenienced. When I see him, I will express my gratitude on behalf of my father. If there is a suitable opportunity in the future, my father will not be too late to meet him again. "

Qiao Ping listened and felt reasonable. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "That's fine. If my daughter sees him and turns to me, the Qiao family will get rid of his slave status. From now on, he will be no different from the commoners. I hope he treats your sister well and will do a lot in the future. It's not worth your elder sister's affection for him."

Xiao Qiao was very happy and thanked his father.

On the day the Yushan Great Witch Temple was burnt down, the Great Witch was beheaded at the intersection of the downtown area. The Yuyang decree was posted next to the gate of Sifang City, saying that witches are evil ways, and they were born to confuse people's hearts.

Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion in the city. It wasn't until a few days later that this major event that shook the whole city slowly subsided.

Wei Shao returned from the government office today, and the sky was already dark.

He entered the gate, turned into the back house, and went straight to the north house. When he reached the three-way intersection, his footsteps stopped a little as usual, and glanced in the direction of the west house on the right. Continue to move forward again.

Mrs. Xu was sitting on the couch, facing a small copper stove with two ears to keep warm, and she seemed to be thinking about something, when she heard the servant girl outside the door calling "Men", looked up and saw Wei Shao wrapped in a body The cold came in, and a smile appeared on his face. When Wei Shao got close, he asked himself if he had eaten dinner. I heard that he hasn't eaten yet. Feeling a little distressed, she hurriedly asked Zhong Li to bring in the food.

Under Mrs. Xu's gaze, Wei Shao finished dinner in silence. After the food case was withdrawn, Wei Shao said, "How is grandmother's health these days? After I came back, I was so busy with affairs that I still couldn't fulfill my filial piety.

Mrs. Xu said: "Grandma is very good. You don't need to worry about it."

After speaking, he carefully looked at his grandson. There was a faint look of tiredness in his eyebrows. Thinking of the few days he came back, he went out early and returned late every day, and there was not much to say in front of him. After thinking for a while, he sighed slightly: "Shao'er, grandmother didn't want to let you know about the troubles of the back house, so as not to add to your worries out of thin air. Then again, the back house is the business of our girls, if there is any trouble, It was also grandmother who oversaw the first. If you want to blame, blame me first. But this time, since you put your mother in confinement, I always have to give you an explanation. This time your mother has gone too far. If you let her go like before , I don't know what kind of trouble will be caused in the future. Grandma knows that you are a dutiful son, so you won't blame grandma in your heart, right?"

Wei Shao said, "Why did my grandmother say this? My mother was completely confused, and she committed such a thing. The confinement has already made her grandmother very lenient to her. The grandson is confused, so it is not so indistinguishable between right and wrong."

Xu Fu nodded: "It's good if you can think so. This time the matter of the back house is with you, so let's stop here, you don't have to worry about it anymore. Grandmother knows what to do in her own heart."

Wei Shao said: "Although the house after the incident is dangerous, I still have lingering fears. If it weren't for her..."

He paused and jumped over: "If it wasn't for the grandmother, the grandson would not dare to imagine..."

Mrs. Xu glanced at him and said with a smile, "Yes, if your daughter-in-law hadn't woken up and let the cat stop him in time, I'm afraid that your grandmother will not be able to see you when you come back this time..."

Wei Shao suddenly leaned over, raised his arms, and tightly grasped one of Madam Xu's hands with his own hands, and refused to let go for a long time.

Mrs. Xu looked at him with a smile. She put her other hand on the back of his thick hand and patted it soothingly, "Grandma is fine, it's all over..."

Wei Shao finally slowly let go of Madam Xu's hand, sat up straight again, and said, "Grandmother, I listened to Yuyang Ling's statement that Jiang Mi wanted to pour the poison of grandmother, the woman from the Xianghou Mansion, that The woman died on the day of the incident. How could Jiang Li get the medicine from the woman? Where did the woman come from? Did she really obey my mother? It was not the grandson who wanted to defend my mother. It was the process. There are many doubts. If this matter is not cleared up, I will feel uneasy."

Mrs. Xu stared at Wei Shao for a moment, then said slowly, "Your grandmother is old, and she had dozed off before, but she was still not confused. This time, when you walked past the gate of hell, what you were thinking about, your grandmother naturally also thought of it. . Leave this to your grandmother! Again, you do the things outside you well, and grandmother will handle all of these backyard monsters by herself. You don't need to be distracted any more."

Wei Shao hesitated.

"Why, you don't even believe your grandmother?" Mrs. Xu's single eye was bright.

Wei Shao thought for a while and said, "Since grandma said so, grandson listens to grandma's advice. If grandma makes progress, please let her know as soon as possible, so that grandson can rest assured."

Mrs. Xu smiled and nodded, looked at him, and suddenly said: "Do you miss your daughter-in-law? It's also not good for your grandmother. At that time, she said that she would go back to visit the doctor, but her grandmother was soft-hearted and let her go. She didn't say hello to her return date. I told you to come home now, and you fell alone. Grandmother looked very distressed."

Wei Shao was stunned for a moment, and there was a trace of embarrassment in his eyes, and then he said seriously: "How could it be! Grandma misunderstood! She went back when she went back. Don't say it's only so long, if she is happy, she has lived in Qiao's house for a year and a half, I'm fine too. I'm a big man, why would I care about this?"

Mrs. Xu raised her eyebrows, as if she was relieved: "That's good. Originally, I was worried that you were thinking about your daughter-in-law. That's good."

Wei Shao smiled, accompanied Madam Xu to say a few more words, and told the maid to serve with heart, and then he respectfully retire.

Wei Shao returned to the Westinghouse alone, feeling a little sullen. Entering the inner courtyard, when I looked up, I saw that the candle was lit in the room, and there seemed to be a slender figure shaking in front of the window. His heart skipped a beat, he immediately quickened his pace, took a few steps and went up the steps, pushed open the door, and startled a maid who was changing the candle in front of the case. When he saw that it was Wei Shao, he hurriedly stepped back and bowed. body, call him a prince.

Wei Shao's expression turned cold. Listening to the maid's explanation there, she flicked her hands impatiently. Seeing that his face was ugly, the maid did not dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly backed out.

Wei Shao went to the study and only returned late at night. Lie down but still can't sleep. With his eyes closed, the appearance of Xiao Qiao appeared in front of him, but the pillow was empty when he touched it. My heart and my head gradually seemed to have a burst of fire. Suddenly he thought: "I was out on an expedition, and my life and death were uncertain. She said that night she wanted to keep me here, but she didn't stay at home to watch me when I came back, so she left me and went back to Yanzhou, not even a word! It is said that the woman is jealous, she left me like this, and if I take the opportunity to sleep with the person next to me, will she not care at all?"
