157. Chapter 157(1/2)

Wei Shao didn't know why he got drunk so quickly.

Before tonight, he had no idea that the threshold of the Qiao family in Dongjun was not impossible to cross in this life as he had thought before. Once the "father-in-law" was shouted, it was not so difficult to talk about.

Everything that happened is so natural.

When he was supported by Xiao Qiao and fell on the soft bed beneath him, he knew in his heart that the house he was in was the boudoir where Xiao Qiao had lived before he married him. The time of the girlhood that he had never been able to get close to was spent in this room with a faint fragrance. He felt deeply intoxicated.

He closed his eyes, hazy, and seemed to hear her and Chunniang whispering in his ears, and then he felt her sitting beside him, wiping his face and palms with warm wet wipes.

This feeling made him feel particularly at ease.

It was like a walker who had been carrying a heavy burden on his way to the end. He finally arrived at the end tonight. Although he was covered in dust and exhausted, he had her waiting and company at the end.

Since that day, the feeling of uneasiness that had been lingering in his heart that she was about to return to Dongjun made him feel uneasy and uneasy as if she was about to be abandoned. At this moment, he suddenly left him completely.

He felt extremely stable and full in his heart, his limbs, inside and out, completely relaxed, and immediately fell asleep.

The next day, Wei Shao slept until the end of Chen before finally sobering up.

He opened his eyes, and a silver-red soft silk tent was printed into his eyes. The curtain was half hanging, and a pair of purple fish-shaped sachets hung under the golden hook, which emitted a faint fragrance, which was intimately echoing the bunch of purple chrysanthemums inserted in the white porcelain bottle on the window table.

He sat up slowly, looked around, looked around, looked at the elegant decorations in her boudoir, then got up and opened the door, and Chunniang, who was waiting outside, came in with her servant, to serve him.

"Where is the female lady?" Wei Shao asked.

"The weather is good today. The little girl can't lock her in the house. The girl takes her to play in the garden. Let's call her?"

Wei Shao told her not to go, so he slowly searched for it. He turned around the corridor and heard a burst of laughter coming with the wind.

He stopped in front of a flower window, and through the hollowed-out flower window, he saw Xiao Qiao and the young woman who was slightly older than her who came outside the door last night, sitting side by side under the shade of flowers, laying a floor mat in front of his feet, and Fifty crawled on his head, and a boy who looked three or two years old was sitting opposite him, with four or five servants surrounded him.

Wei Shao knew that the young woman should be her sister Da Qiao. He saw Xiao Qiao approaching her very close, and she looked very intimate. The two seemed to be whispering in a whisper. She didn't know what she said. She smiled softly and fell on Da Qiao, and her little daughter's expression was vividly attracted to her.

The sunlight sifted from the gap between the flowers and the stars fell on Xiao Qiao's face and body. Her eyes shone brightly, her smile was like a silver bell, and her face was like a flower. For a moment, Wei Shao seemed to have a carefree feeling in her smile that only Philip could smile when she heard it.

She has been with him for several years. He has tasted her gentleness, understanding and understanding, which made him feel very fond of it. But it was not until this moment that he realized for the first time that she could smile so lively, with her little daughter's romantic mood.

Wei Shao stopped behind the window, looked at her silently, and did not get close to her anymore.

...

After the meal, Lei Yan and others came and waited outside Qiao's mansion.

Wei Shao is also ready to leave.

Xiao Qiao sent him out and finally stopped on the side of the screen wall. Wei Shao hugged Philip and kissed her on the cheek several times, reluctant to leave.

Xiao Qiao smiled and said, "Your husband doesn't have to worry too much, I will take good care of Philip."

Wei Shao looked at his daughter, his eyes were extremely gentle. Finally, he gently rubbed her soft hair and handed her over to Chunniang. His eyes then fell on Xiao Qiao's face, and he wanted to speak but stopped.

"Do you have any advice?" Xiao Qiao said with a smile.

Wei Shao paused for a moment: "Since you are back, please stay with peace of mind, so stay for a while. If I have time, I will come here to see you and Philip. If you want to go back, wait for me, and I will send you back in person."

Xiao Qiao smiled with a pursed lips: "Okay, thank you husband."

"You are dangerous in war, so you should take care of yourself when you are outside." She stared at him and said softly.

Wei Shao nodded, moved his fingers slightly, and was about to lift his arm when he heard Xiao Qiao say again: "Thank you for last night. I know my father hasn't been so happy for a long time."

Wei Shao was silent for a moment and said, "My father-in-law was blind. Perhaps Bai Shishou could be cured in this world. I will send someone to visit as soon as possible."

Xiao Qiao said: "Thank you, my husband, for your concern."

All along, whenever he did something for her, she would never forget to thank him no matter how small the matter was.

Wei Shao was already used to the way she talked to him, and never thought anything was wrong before.

For some reason, he suddenly felt that her "Thank you, my husband" sounded so harsh.

In his mind, her colorful smile under the morning flower shade appeared. After hesitating, he moved slightly closer to her, and lowered his voice: "Manman, we are husband and wife... In the future, you will be in front of me, and you will do whatever you want, don't have to see me, and don't have to thank me for everything..."

He felt that he was a little clumsy, as if he could not express what he thought, and stopped slightly and looked at her.

Xiao Qiao seemed stunned, then smiled, raised her eyes and said softly: "Okay. I remember."

...

Mrs. Qiao Pingding and Da Qiao sent Wei Shao out of the gate.

Wei Shao asked Qiao Ping to stay.

Qiao Ping drank too much last night and just got up this morning, but she looked very energetic and said with a smile: "It's rare that you come. I would have to stay for you for a while no matter what. But I heard from my daughter that it was a tight situation in Luoyang, so I couldn't force it to stay for me anymore. I can only hope that you will stay for a while next time. No matter what, I want to send you out of the city today."

Wei Shao hurriedly refused, Qiao Ping insisted.

Mrs. Ding smiled and said, "Your Majesty has only been gone for a night. Before leaving, don't let the county lord down. He is inconvenient to ride a horse, but it is not hindered by the car. The car is ready, so he is outside."

Wei Shao looked at Xiao Qiao, saw her smiling, nodded slightly, and had to say, "I'm sorry, my father-in-law."

Xiao Qiao helped his father into the carriage, reminded the accompanying manager, and stood at the door to see him off. Seeing Wei Shao turn back several times on the horse's back, the figures of the group gradually became smaller, and finally disappeared from sight with the carriage carrying his father.

...

Qiao Ping sent Wei Shao out of the west gate and went to more than ten miles. Wei Shao got off the horse and asked him to return to the city again and again. Qiao Pingfang stopped and ordered someone to help him off the carriage, and said with a smile: "I have something to say to you, but I have never found an opportunity before. I finally met yesterday, but I don't want to see you today, so I'll go on the road again. Can you take this opportunity to tell me?"

Wei Shao said: "Don't be polite, father-in-law, please come here." He helped Qiao Ping's hand and led him to the side of the road.

Lei Yan saw that Qiao Ping should have a private conversation with Junhou, and ordered his companion to return to the team and lead him to wait from a distance.

Wei Shao said: "What does my father-in-law have to give me? But it doesn't matter."

Qiao Ping turned his face and asked Wei Shao to lead him to face north.

Wei Shao was puzzled, but he followed his words.

Qiao Ping faced the wind blowing from the north, and knelt on his knees, bowed with his forehead, respectfully and deeply respectful.

Wei Shao was stunned and said, "What does father-in-law mean?"

After Qiao Ping kowtowed, he got up from the ground and said solemnly: "I used to kowtow to the heroic spirit of General Xianhuya and Brother Xianling to be a ritual. I dare not ask for forgiveness. I just knocked on my knees out of my gratitude, for the old lady and for the lord."

Wei Shao turned his head and looked at the vast wilderness facing north. He closed his lips and said nothing, and his expression became solemn.

Qiao Ping said slowly: "It was my Qiao family's mistakes, and the father and son of General Huya died. The old pain has not yet subsided. Now, because of my misunderstanding, it almost caused General Wei Liang to be in trouble. The guilt in my heart is really hard to describe. The magnanimity of the king made me feel even more ashamed. First, I returned my brother's head and allowed him to bury his entire body..."

"Don't worry about my father-in-law," Wei Shao suddenly said lightly, "I am not a tolerant person. The reason why you and I can speak here today is because of the man and man."

Qiao Ping let out a long sigh in his chest and said, "This is what I want to say to Junhou. At that time, my brother was the leader and wanted to be better than Wei's family by marriage. He was not only with the idea of ​​eliminating the grievances of that year, but also wanted to use the power of Junhou to protect Yanzhou by strong enemies. My elder brother was smart in his mind, but at the beginning, I couldn't bear to marry my daughter in such a hurry. She was the only one below me, and after her mother passed away, I had nothing to do with it. I just hope that she could make a happy marriage in the future, be cared for by her husband, and be able to live a smooth life. This is my greatest wish. The situation in the future is not controlled by my power, and I can do nothing, so I can only marry her to Junhou..."

Wei Shao turned his head slowly and stared at Qiao Ping.

Qiao Ping was unaware of it and continued, "I don't hide it either. The Wei Qiao family formed such a deep grudge. If I put myself in my shoes, I would probably not be able to treat the daughter of the other family well. Therefore, when Man Man married for the first time, I was very concerned about it for a while..."

"Your Majesty, you don't know that she was spoiled by me and her mother since childhood. After her mother unfortunately left early, I treated her like a pearl in my hand. In the education department, I was afraid that after she married, she would not be able to fulfill her duties, nor could she be better than her husband's family. What I didn't expect was that Mrs. Xu was so kind and kind, and took good care of her. She was even more stupid when she was not abandoned. Now, because of her words, Mrs. Wang let go of things and sent her home in person. All these things made me feel ashamed and unhappy. It turned out that my doubts at the beginning were just for me to save others with my own heart!"

Wei Shao was silent.

Qiao Ping sighed: "I am a useless person, but now I only have a broken body. Life, death, honor and disgrace are just passing clouds and misfortunes. The only thing I can't let go is my daughter. She is tolerant by nature. Even if she has troubles in her heart, she never reveals a word in front of me, for fear of making me worry. This is why I cherish it even more. Today, the Lord is in front of me. Although I am blind and cannot see the Lord's face, I understand the elegance and grandness of my Lord. Therefore, I take this opportunity to solemnly entrust my daughter to you. I know that Lord is not a thing in the pool. If one day the golden scales turn into a dragon, I hope Lord can care about the love and protect Manman's happiness for my life on my behalf, I will be grateful for it!"

After Qiao Ping finished speaking, he bowed to Wei Shao.

Wei Shao was shocked and hurriedly supported him.

Qiao Ping stood up straight and smiled and said, "I will send you here in this way. I hope that the king and lord will pacify the world as soon as possible and give the people a peaceful and prosperous era."

...

Wei Shao sat on the back of a horse, watching the carriage Qiao Ping was riding gradually disappear from sight. After a long time of excitement, he turned his horse's head and headed west.

In the evening, there are dozens of miles away from Qiantou Inn. If you get faster, you can almost arrive before dark.

Wei Shao was moving slower and slower, as if he was absent-minded.

Lei Yan had long noticed his abnormality. Although he was in doubt, he didn't ask questions and just slowed down.

There are still ten miles away from the post house. Wei Shao suddenly stopped on the side of the road and said to Lei Yan: "Take people to the post house in Qiantou and wait for me to come back!"

After saying that, without explaining much, he turned around and clamped the horse's belly, and shouted softly. He got the BMW's message when he got off his hips and received the speed limit for half a day. At this moment, he was finally able to let go of his horse's hooves. With a cheerful neigh, he immediately spread his hooves and galloped forward.

Under the surprised gaze of Lei Yan and a group of followers, Wei Shao's back quickly disappeared into the thick twilight that was flying far away.

...

Wei Shao returned to the gate of Dongjun. It was already dark. When the city gate captain heard the call, he climbed to the top of the city. With the light of the fire stick, he recognized that it was Wei Shao who had just been sent out by the county magistrate during the day. He was shocked and hurriedly ordered someone to open the key.

Wei Shao passed through the slowly opened city gate and galloped towards the Qiao family along the empty street under the moonlight.

...

After dinner, Mrs. Ding and Da Qiao came to Xiao Qiao's room with Li'er in her arms.

Mrs. Ding and Chunniang were doing needlework. While talking, the two sisters Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were playing with Li Er and Philip.

There was constant laughter in the room, and when I was having fun, suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and a servant pushed the door and leaned into it: "Madam! Madam! Junhou is back-"

The sound in the room suddenly became quiet, and Mrs. Ding and Da Qiao turned their heads.

Xiao Qiao was surprised and raised her eyes.

When the door opened, Wei Shao stood at the door.

Mrs. Ding was very surprised, so she put down the needle and thread in her hand, stood up and greeted her, "Come in quickly! You shouldn't have enough food yet? Wait a moment, aunt will prepare for you now." After that, she hurried out to prepare the meal.
