80. Chapter 80
Seeing Mrs. Xu as if she was slightly stunned, Xiao Qiao looked at her and said, "I know this is really a ruthless request. My husband is now fighting outside. My grandmother is old and has been sick. It's only a few days before. I should be at home at ease and wait for my husband to return with her grandmother. But there is a reason. This morning, I received a letter from my brother from Dongjun that my aunt could not get up sick. It's been a while since I died. My mother died early. In the past, I was in the care of Aunt Dom at Dongjun's home and treated me like a daughter. My aunt had no son and only had one sister under my knees. When I got married last year, there was something wrong with my sister, and I was not at home. Now I suddenly realized that my aunt was ill and I was very concerned about it. Therefore, even though I knew I shouldn't speak, I still asked my grandmother's knees. I begged my grandmother to allow me to go home. After I visited my aunt, I would rush back as soon as possible."
After Xiao Qiao finished speaking, her eyes looked at Mrs. Xu with hope.
Mrs. Xu looked concerned, and when she finished speaking, she immediately said, "This is a common human relationship, why does it mean to be unkind? The most hated thing in my life is the saying of 'marrying a daughter and splashing water'. If you have a eldest daughter, you will be separated from your mother's family for the rest of your life. How can you stay with me? If you go, it's okay for me. If you keep going, what should I do, I will tell you to be in charge of the family. Let me leave as soon as possible."
After pondering for a moment, he said, "The only thing I have to worry about is that your road is safe. Fortunately, Youzhou went south to Jizhou, and it was all under Shaoer's jurisdiction. It would be fine. When I left Jizhou, I would like to send military commanders to protect you across the river and send you straight to Yanzhou. After you visit me, you will return early."
Yanzhou Youzhou is located across the Yellow River, which is more than a thousand miles away. Xiao Qiao has only been married for a year, and she wants to go back to her parents' home now, but she knows it is hard to speak of.
But this idea was originally there, and it had been circling in my heart for a long time. At this time, the news came that my aunt was ill, so I took the opportunity to bring it up.
Xiao Qiao also knew that she spoke at this time. With Mrs. Xu's understanding, even if she was not very happy, she would allow it.
Unexpectedly, she agreed so readily and thoughtfully. She couldn't help but feel guilty for the little that she had always been holding that could never be known to the Wei family.
However, every time, as long as she thinks about the ending of her previous life that made her nightmare countless times and still dare not relax, she tells herself that it is nothing wrong to take some precautions.
Grandma is really good. In addition to this incident, if she has been alive, she should be like a Dinghai Sword Needle for herself or the Qiao family.
But her grandmother is old after all. Although she knew about her previous life, she had prevented her in advance and had some good luck, she escaped. But she didn't know what happened in the future.
If one day my grandmother has a hundred years left, Wei Shao will be left. Just judge by her experience with him over the past year. Once Mrs. Xu is gone, who knows whether he will turn against him in the future and what will happen if he turns against him?
You can think about things in an optimistic and good direction, or do things. But you must never fail to prepare a way out for yourself.
Even if Wei Shao expressed his obsession with her on the bed, she would never forget this.
Xiao Qiao showed gratitude and thanked Mrs. Xu.
Mrs. Xu nodded with a smile: "You go back and pack your luggage. I hope your aunt will recover from illness early and you will return soon. I will also prepare some things here, and you can take them for me and give them to the elders."
When Qiao Ci and his group came last time, the Qiao family prepared generous gifts for both Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Zhu. The gifts were exchanged. Since she was going back, it was normal for Mrs. Xu to return the gifts.
Xiao Qiao thanked again.
...
I was busy. I was rushing back to visit the hospital and didn't pay much attention to it. I prepared for a day. The next day, at the beginning of November, Xiao Qiao bid farewell to Mrs. Xu, took Chunniang away from Yuyang, and embarked on the road southward.
Wei Liang fought with Wei Shao this time. Mrs. Xu chose Hu Ben Lang General Jia Wei to escort Xiao Qiao on the road. All 32 people were selected from the Wei family Hu Ben's personal soldiers, and they were responsible for escorting them, which was very trustworthy. After leaving the city, they rushed through the day and threw themselves into the post house at night. They walked the same road where Xiao Qiao went north to see him off a year ago.
I still remember the future was unpredictable and I was feeling uneasy. Now, a year has passed. Although I still don’t know what it will happen in the future, my mood is very different from that of a year ago. I passed Fanyang, Renqiu, and Hejian in turn. After seven or eight days, I entered Jizhou, and then arrived in Guangping for about half a month.
The governor of Guangping had already received a report from Mrs. Xu, and Xiao Qiao and his group continued to escort the south, gradually approaching the Yellow River Dadu.
It has been traveling for half a month now, and this place is no longer Wei Shao's territory. The closer we are to the Yellow River area in the heart of the Central Plains, it is difficult to fight for many years due to war chaos. Today, I will go tomorrow. The soldiers are like thieves, and they will be scraped three feet away when they pass by, and the people's livelihood will become more and more withered. The road is corrupt, the fields on both sides are gradually abandoned, and the bones are even exposed in the wild. In addition to the city walls, sometimes it is difficult to encounter the rooster's ming village after walking for half a day. Even if there are still people, the remaining ones are just the old, weak, sick and disabled.
Compared to what Xiao Qiao saw in the north last year, it was a bit more desolate.
After coming out of Youzhou, which is like a prosperous era, I saw such a desolate scene. Although I knew that it was not surprising that such scenes were common in the chaotic world, I still felt a little touched. Until I went on and gradually approached Jibei, these places were also turbulent, but warlords everywhere were in stalemate. Even if there was a war, it would not continue over the years. The villages and towns I saw along the way gradually recovered.
A month later, on the day of early December, Xiao Qiao and his group finally entered the state of Yanzhou.
On the evening of the next day, before he arrived in Dongjun, he was walking on the road and saw a man holding the Qiao family's flag coming from the other side.
Qiao Ci came to greet her sister.
Jia Wei sent a quick horse to send news to Dongjun, the capital of Yanzhou, a few days ago. Qiao Ping received the letter and was ecstatic to learn that his daughter had returned unexpectedly at this time. He was ecstatic and sent Qiao Ci to greet him.
The siblings finally met together.
Over the past month, the road has been full of dust. Xiao Qiao was not only worried about the condition of his aunt Mrs. Ding, but also guessed that his father's reaction after receiving his letter, but he was not relieved.
But from the moment I set foot on the Yanzhou situation yesterday, Xiao Qiao's fatigue was wiped out all the way.
Although Qiao Ci had just returned from Yuyang for only three or two months, her sister returned home unexpectedly and was also extremely happy. In fact, with his nature, she wanted her sister to stay with her when she came back this time and would not return to Yuyang again in the future. The brother and sister said a few words. Xiao Qiao asked Mrs. Ding.
In fact, Xiao Qiao had already asked Qiao Ci to take Da Qiao An toast the last time. She hoped that her mother would be relieved and not worry about her news quietly brought to Mrs. Ding. She learned that although she had not improved much now, her condition had not continued to get worse. She was just feeling depressed all day long.
Because it was getting late, he rushed back to the city and then got on the road. Qiao Ci actually asked the driver to go down, got on the driver's seat, and personally drove the carriage for Xiao Qiao.
The journey was smooth, and late at night, the group entered the Dongjun city gate and returned home.
The servant handed in the news of the arrival of the young master and the young master. Qiao Ping, who was looking forward to it, ran outside the gate to greet him.
When he saw Xiao Qiao, he saw tears flashing in his daughter's eyes. Hearing his daughter call him "father" with a familiar voice, Qiao Ping felt a mixture of sadness and joy in his heart. However, in front of the servant, he tried his best not to reveal it, just as if he had taken a treasure and took his daughter in person.
Because of the evening, the eldest uncle Qiao Yue had already rested, so it was even worse to disturb my aunt's rest at this hour. It was not too late for Qiao Ping to ask her daughter to come and visit her tomorrow morning. Although she had piled up a lot of words to say, she just felt sorry for her daughter's bumpy road, so she asked her to rest. She personally sent her to the door of the former boudoir.
Pushing open the door, Xiao Qiao looked around the familiar room he had lived in. Seeing that the decorations inside had not changed at all, even the faded and old beauty kite that he had drawn by himself was still hanging on the wall. He was slowly moved, and looked back at his father and thanked him.
When his daughter returned home from afar, Qiao Ping was in a good mood and laughed: "Silly girl, what can I thank you? Even though you have married, I won't leave you a house for my father?"
After not seeing him for a year, my father seemed to have lost weight again than Xiao Qiao. When he smiled, although his appearance was still elegant and elegant, he lived up to his reputation as the "Dongjun Langjun" when he was young, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became clearer.
He was indeed under forty. He was just as the man had the most charming years of his life, and he should have shown his ambitions, but he worked hard to assist his uncle and worked so hard.
In Yanzhou, Qiao Yue, the uncle of Xiao Qiao, inherited the status of the family leader, controlled power, took charge of the outline, and was responsible for guiding the country. The implementation of the complex and complex matters such as grain collection and tax collection, people's conditions and livelihood, and the firmness of troops, were almost all implemented by Qiao Ping. If you do your duty well, it will be a dereliction of duty.
Xiao Qiao felt distressed and couldn't help saying, "Father, please be careful and don't work too hard. I see that you are older than before I left last year."
