The bamboo forest is quiet, fresh and pleasant.

The breeze blows by, and the forest waves are bursting.

The noise outside the main entrance of Qiao Mansion gradually dissipated, and dozens of entourages moved boxes of all sizes into the backyard.

"Ashui, what are you doing? Who came to the mansion to propose marriage again?"

On the corridor of the backyard, four girls in brocade clothes and silk skirts came and met a group of entourage carrying wooden boxes. One of them was beautiful and beautiful, raised his hand to call Qiao Shui, the servant in the front yard, and asked softly.

"Ashui has seen two ladies." Seeing the young lady inquiring, the servant Ashui hurried forward and said respectfully: "Miss, this is the dowry sent by the two young masters in the main hall of the front yard. According to the old rules explained before, ten carts of dowry, we will move out three cars and return the remaining seven cars."

"Is this a bride price?" The young lady changed her expression when she heard this. She pointed at the box in her entourage's hand in surprise and asked in surprise.

A Shui nodded with a confused expression and said, "Yes, there were also red silk characters on the box, but we pulled them off and threw them away."

"Ah! There is also the word "Happy in Red Silk?" The eldest lady changed her charming face again and said in surprise.

A Shui continued, "The master was very angry today. When he first entered the main hall, he accidentally knocked over a pot of hot tea. He burned his feet. As a result, he couldn't stand firmly and knocked down three vases. The master was so angry that he didn't talk to the two young masters who gave gifts for a long time. By the way, they were here to pick up the bride, and now the master is scolding them in the main hall!"

"Please take the bride? What kind of bride should I get? Who in the mansion wants to get married?" At this time, a beautiful woman with a look of no less than a lady came up behind the eldest lady, and asked curiously.

"Uh. This,,,,,,,," A Shui suddenly woke up, his eyes driftingly and did not dare to look at the two ladies. He hesitated and did not dare to answer.

The eldest lady raised her eyebrows slightly and said in a deep voice in an unhappy tone: "If you ask you, just tell me the truth, and hesitate!"

"Yes, yes, yes, the villain must tell the truth!" Seeing the eldest lady's expression unhappy, A Shui was so scared that she nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at the food.

After a little breath, A Shui reported truthfully: "These two young men are strange today. They wore big red wedding robes and sent ten carts of betrothal gifts, all of which were bought according to six-color betrothal gifts. Three matchmakers and ritual music came to the mansion together. Just now, the villain asked a entourage named Lu Su, and he told me that today his two brothers came to Qiao's house to welcome the bride. The man to marry was, Qiao, big and small."

After tremblingly speaking, A Shui retreated, fearing that the two ladies would take their anger on him.

"What? You said they are coming to marry us sisters today?" After hearing this, the eldest lady and the second lady looked at each other and asked in unison.

Obviously, the eldest lady is Da Qiao, who is born with a look of falling fish and falling geese, and is named Qiao Liang; the second lady is Xiao Qiao, who is so proud of the moon and the flowers. She is named Qiao Wan.

However, women in this era rarely call their full names directly. Before they leave home, they usually use nicknames or honorary titles. After getting married, they use their husband's surname, or honorary titles for position, or surnames; such as: Zhen Zhang, general's wife, lord's wife or Qiao, etc. Therefore, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are the names of Er Qiao, and the full names of their sisters are rarely shown to others.

"Absurd!" After the two sisters were surprised for a while, Da Qiao walked lightly to A Shui and asked, "Who are these two young men? Have you been here before?"

A Shui lowered his head and wanted to retreat further, but he was already leaning against the pillars and had no choice but to retreat.

Seeing that he could not escape, A Shui had to report according to the facts: "The Lu Su told the villain that the two young men were in the court. The leader was Li Li, and the other was Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu was the head of the village and was born in the Zhou family in Lujiang. He was very famous. The villain had heard of the name Zhou Yu."

"Zhou Yu?" Da Qiao whispered softly in surprise, then remembered who Zhou Yu was, and said in a shocking voice: "It turned out to be him, Zhou Yu, Zhou Gongjin!"

Before Da Qiao finished speaking, Xiao Qiao frowned slightly and said, "Li Li? This name is so familiar. It seems that I have heard it somewhere, but why can't I remember it!"

"Sister, are you talking about Li Li?" Da Qiao asked anxiously with a pretty face.

Xiao Qiao nodded slightly and said, "Yes! My sister only paid attention to Zhou Yu's name and didn't hear A Shui say that the person in charge was Li Li? But who is Li Li? I seem to have heard of it somewhere, but I can't remember it?"

"Ah——!" Da Qiao Jiaorong suddenly changed, looked at Xiao Qiao incredibly, and screamed in surprise.

Xiao Qiao was frightened by this scream and his delicate body shook slightly, and he said softly in surprise: "Sister, you are,,,,,,,"

"Sister, my silly sister, you say his name every day, why can't you remember it now? He is here, come to find you!" Da Qiao walked to Xiao Qiao with a complicated expression and said with a little emotion in his soft voice.

"Who is here?" Xiao Qiao was shocked, and then her delicate body trembled slightly, and she murmured softly: "Li Li, Li Wenchang, Xiliang Li Li Wenchang! Is it really him?"

In an instant, Xiao Qiao took steps one after another, her delicate body trembled in shock, and extremely complex feelings flashed across her beautiful cheeks: hesitation, surprise, panic, sweetness, incredible. But these fleeting feelings eventually turned into two lines of crystal tears, and a crying silently choked.

Immediately, Xiao Qiao rushed to his sister Da Qiao's arms, cried with joy, and tears of lovesickness slid on her pink and white cheeks.

Da Qiao gently patted his sister Qianruo's boneless back and said softly: "Sister took back his previous words, Li Wenchang did not leave you alone, nor was he a romantic and lucky person, nor was he abandoned him at all. After half a month, he came to find you, which means he did not leave Yangzhou and did not abandon you. He must have had something to do before, so he left in a hurry. Sister, you are happy, and you have heard that he came this time to marry you, so you don't have to be afraid in the future."

"Sister!" Xiao Qiao said shyly and whispered to Da Qiao: "Sister, you can't hide anything from you. Li Lang left me for nineteen days. I should have had my period seven days ago, but I still haven't made any noise until now. I'm so worried these days, for fear that if I drag this on, I'll be exposed sooner or later and I can't hide it at all."

After hearing this, Da Qiao's eyes suddenly opened wide. He hurriedly pulled Xiao Qiao to the boudoir. After a while, she asked the maid to guard the door. Then she closed the door and asked Xiao Qiao in disbelief: "Sister, what you said just now is true. Are you really pregnant?"

Xiao Qiao was so embarrassed that her pink neck was blushing, and she lowered her head and said softly: "I can't be sure if it really happened. Maybe it's because I'm too anxious these days, so my menstruation is abnormal."

"Yes." Da Qiao nodded gently and sat next to Xiao Qiao. He whispered softly: "It should be that you have been too nervous recently and have been muttering about him all day long, so that's why. Otherwise, you only have one time, how could you get pregnant?"

Xiao Qiao was ashamed to himself when she heard this. Then she didn't know that the string was misplaced, or she felt that her sister was a little contemptuous of her man's ability. This made her feel very uncomfortable. So she whispered to Da Qiao: "It's indeed once, but he was once and overnight, which made me faint after several consecutive times. He is not finished yet!"

Xiao Qiao's words were so powerful that Da Qiao's delicate body was soft and soft. The phoenix eyes were wide open, and then his breathing was rapid and his face was red and his ears were red.

Then she said to Xiao Qiao shyly: "I don't know how to be ashamed, I can say such words! When you hear that he is coming to you, you are like a person. You dare to say anything without any restraint. If you see me, you will be helpless in this life. One day you will ask him to sell you, and you will still be smiling in the dark!"

"Hehehe!" After hearing this, Xiao Qiao not only did not get angry, but instead smiled and hugged Da Qiao's slender waist and said with a smile: "Sister, have there been secrets between us sisters over the years? But I could hear that my sister was jealous of me and envious of my sister for finding a good husband, so I arranged me in anger. But didn't Ah Shui say just now that in addition to Li Lang, there was another person coming to the door to greet the bride. Hey, what's his name?"

Da Qiao blurted out when she heard this: "Zhou Yu!"

"Hehehe! I know it's Zhou Yu, and I'm deliberately teasing you!" Xiao Qiao quipped with a smile.

"Okay, you dare to tease your sister, let's see how I deal with you!" Da Qiao stood up shyly while talking and threw Xiao Qiao on the couch.

"Hehehehe!"

After the two sisters had a fight, they lay on the couch panting and Xiao Qiao said softly: "Sister, do you think your father would refuse Li Lang's proposal?"

"This is for sure. Don't you know my father's thoughts?" Da Qiao continued helplessly.

Xiao Qiao turned over and sat up, pursing her red lips, and said firmly: "I have been deemed Li Lang in my life. Apart from him, I would rather die than marry anyone else. Sister, what about you? Since Zhou Yu came with Li Lang, he must be willing to follow Li Lang. In this way, if my sister marry Zhou Yu, then we sisters will meet frequently in the future. I wonder what my sister wants?"

Da Qiao stood up gently and laughed and said, "Why do I have to marry Zhou Yu? Can't I marry Li Wenchang? Your Li Lang is the master and Zhou Yu is the minister. In the order of seniority and seniority, shouldn't I marry Li Li?"

"Ah!" Xiao Qiao's pretty face changed drastically, but accidentally found a playful smile in her sister's eyes. She immediately said with a smile: "Okay, my sister doesn't want to separate from her sister anyway, so we sisters just serve one husband together. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds? But I heard that Li Lang already has several wives and concubines, and my sister can only be a concubine after following Li Lang. I wonder if my sister is willing to be a concubine?"

"This,,,,,,,, you won. Since you treat Li Li as a treasure, I will give it to you!" Da Qiao said discouragedly. However, although her tone was quite helpless, there was actually a smile on her eyebrows.

Xiao Qiao looked at Da Qiao and said with a smile: "So, is my sister willing to marry Zhou Yu? That's good, and it saves Li Lang a lot of trouble. Otherwise, if my sister doesn't want to get married, even if I want to get married, I have to wait until my sister gets married before I can get married, so as not to be discussed."

Until this time, Da Qiao realized that she had just fallen into the trap of her sister. However, she had a good impression of Zhou Yu. She had mentioned many times that Zhou Gongjin was tall and had both civil and military appearance, but unfortunately she had never been able to meet her.

This time Zhou Yu came to propose marriage. If he was as good as the rumors and had not married, Da Qiao would be a little moved. After all, she was already in her prime, and she was twenty years old, and she was already a good age for marriage. Moreover, her sister Xiao Qiao had a husband, so no one wanted her yet, so would she continue to be an old girl?

At this point, Da Qiao tidied up the Luo skirt and pulled Xiao Qiao out: "It's too early to say these things now. Let's see if this Li Li is the Li Wenchang you are looking for, and then act according to the opportunity!"
