84. Chapter 84

Xiao Qiao spent three days at home in Dongjun.

These three short days were actually the most comfortable moment she had in the past few years. Because she seemed to finally see the real hope for the future that could be grasped in her hands.

What else can make people feel more energetic than hope for the future?

Mrs. Ding loves her in every way, and her brother will be with her sooner or later. Her father Qiao Ping has been hindered for many years, and her ambitions have not been fulfilled and she is depressed. Now that she is middle-aged, she has made up her mind and finally has a turn for the better. Although she is busy these days, 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 to talk for a while. Her brother will also be with her. The two of them are excited to listen to their father talking about the affairs he has started during the day and look forward to the future.

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

Before leaving Yuyang, Xiao Qiao met Zong Ji again. In addition to thanking him solemnly, he also asked Zong Ji to bring the news that he was about to leave for Dongjun to Bi Tong. If he had the chance, he hoped to meet him.

She had already arrived in Dongjun, and Zong Ji's journey should be faster than her.

According to estimates, Bi Tong has also received the letter now.

But Xiao Qiao didn't expect that he had arrived in Sucheng and was waiting for her.

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

The letter was written by Da Qiao, saying that he learned from Zong Ji that she was going south. Both of them were very happy and hoped to meet her. Originally, she wanted to come here by herself, so that Xiao Qiao would not go around on the road, but because of her pregnancy, Bi Tong refused to let her come out. He went to Sucheng, picked up Xiao Qiao, and sent her to Lingbi to meet.

Xiao Qiao was happy to see the letter.

In fact, Xiao Qiao knew that this trip was able to return home smoothly, and she was grateful to her. Since the family affairs in Dongjun had already developed in the direction she hoped, the rest would be based on her father and the others. Moreover, no matter what happened, it would be possible to do it step by step, and it would not be possible to do it overnight in the short term. If you stay, it would have no meaning. So Xiao Qiao was thinking that when she met Bishu Daqiao again, she should return to the north.

Therefore, on the night when he received the letter, Xiao Qiao waited until his father came back and met in the study as he did the previous night, saying that he planned to leave tomorrow.

It took only a few days before my daughter returned home and she was leaving. Qiao Ping was really reluctant to let it go and didn't speak for a moment.

Xiao Qiao was reluctant to leave, but he still smiled and said, "Father, this trip that my daughter can go south and return home is also the kindness of my grandmother. My father also knew that when I went south, my grandmother had recovered from illness, and my husband was on an expedition again. After visiting my aunt when I came back, my father's affairs were smoothly started, so I should go back early. I really couldn't bear to leave my father and brother, but I'm afraid I would be disappointed by my grandmother when I went back too late."

Qiao Ping didn't understand. How could a married daughter stay with her for as long as she used to be? Nodded and said, "I understand for my father. I'll send you north tomorrow for my father."

Qiao Ci suddenly coughed on the side.

Xiao Qiao glanced at Ah Di, saw him twisting his eyebrows at him, remembering the matter that the two had discussed during the day. Finally, she made a decision and then turned back his eyes.

Qiao Ci immediately stepped forward and said, "Does my father still remember the nameless man who refused Xue Tai outside Juye City that day and saved his son's life in front of the formation?"

Qiao Ping was deeply impressed by the scene that day and could not forget it. Suddenly, he heard his son mention it and said sincerely: "Of course. This person not only took back your life under the command of General Xue Tai, two generals of Cao Xu and Zhang Biao, but also went in and out of the situation like no one in the chaos of the two armies, and was unstoppable. He disappeared later. He was sent to search everywhere for him for his father, but he was regretful. He still remembered that he still regretted."

Xiao Qiao said, "Father, do you remember the green-eyed Bishe in the past?"

Qiao Ping looked at Xiao Qiao: "Is it the Ma Nu who kidnapped your cousin?"

Xiao Qiao said: "Don't call him like this in the future. He is the nameless person who saved Ah Di that day."

Qiao Ping looked at his daughter and son.

Qiao Ci hurriedly said, "What my sister said is not false. When the man sent me back to my father's formation, I recognized him on the spot because I had seen him traveling with my aunt at home before. But I was still not sure. After Xue Tai withdrew from the army, his son kept paying attention to him and saw him leaving alone, so he chased him. At first he didn't want to pay attention to me and couldn't stand my pursuit. Finally, he stopped and said a few words to me. He said that he had married my sister. I was sure that it was him!"

Qiao Ping was extremely surprised, came to his senses, and slowly looked at Xiao Qiao: "Manman! To be honest, did you do something you hide from me that day?"

Seeing that his father seemed to have guessed something, Xiao Qiao stopped hiding it, so she simply said, "Don't hide it from his father. My sister and Bi Tong had feelings for each other, but because of their identity, they abide by etiquette and law. I know that they are not equal in status, but I think it is a match made by heaven. It was only after I persuaded that My sister left home with Bi Tong."

Qiao Ping was stunned and felt ache: "That's how you married yourself to the Wei family instead of your sister?"

Seeing that his father seemed to be about to get angry, Xiao Qiao quickly went up and clenched his fists and pounded his back: "Don't calm down. I originally thought that my uncle had no sister and could not agree to his father's plan. I didn't expect that my uncle wanted me to marry on his behalf. Since the matter started because of me, I could only marry..."

Qiao Ping remembered the incident that day and wanted to scold Xiao Qiao with a stern face, but saw her looking at her with bright black and white eyes wide open, looking begging for mercy, and her heart softened, and she sighed: "You are too reckless, and you actually hide it from me..."

He sighed again and shook his head.

Xiao Qiao smiled: "Father, wealth should be the source of the source, but heroes should not ask where they come from. Chen She brought the family with a sacred man, and Changping Hou was born in a cavalry slave. Although he was a humble man, how could he know that he would not have any great achievements in the future? Besides, his father himself said just now, if he had not appeared to save him that day, wouldn't he be in danger?"

Qiao Ping was silent and then said, "What my daughter said is extremely true! I saw the power of the day of my father, and I still remember it. When he was in my horse farm, he was like a dragon trapped in shallow water. If he had wind and waves, he would definitely soar into the sky!"

Xiao Qiao said: "I dare not hide my father. This time I went south, and I also wanted to meet him and his wife. During the day, I received a letter. He is now waiting for me to come over in Suxian and pick me up to meet my sister. I was thinking that when I met my sister, I would go north immediately."

Qiao Ping exclaimed: "So that's it!"

He pondered for a while and said, "Since your cousin is willing to follow him, the matter will be over. He took action that day and saved your brother's life in front of the formation. He has always been grateful to his father. I regret that I could not find the person I had that day, but now he has come to my Yanzhou area again, and I will go there with you tomorrow for my father and thank him in person."

Although Bi Teng saved Qiao Ci, he left Yanzhou as a slave of the Qiao family and took Da Qiao away. According to the current law, it would be a death sentence. If his uncle Qiao Yue knew about it, he would probably just snorted coldly, thinking that it was natural for the slave to save the master.

But my 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 personally. Xiao Qiao felt even more respectful to his father. He smiled and shook his head: "I told my father about this, just to make his father think about it first. Bi Tong saved Ah-di on the same day, not to win his father's gratitude. And I didn't tell him in advance that his father would also go with me. If his father suddenly showed up, he might not be inconvenient. When I see him, I will convey my gratitude on behalf of my father. If there is a suitable opportunity in the future, it will not be too late for my father to meet him again."

After hearing this, Qiao Ping felt reasonable. After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay. If your daughter sees him and transfers me, the Qiao family will seduce him from his slavery. At this moment, he will be the same as a commoner. I hope he will treat your sister well and make great achievements in the future, and will not let down your sister's affection for him."

Xiao Qiao was very happy and thanked her father repeatedly.

...

On the day when the Great Witch Temple in Yushan was burned, the Great Witch was beheaded at the entrance of the downtown street. The Yuyang Order issued a document next to the gate of the Sifang City, saying that the witch is an evil way and is born to confuse people's hearts. It has caused great harm. Therefore, it was cleaned up to warn the people and not to indulge in the future.

The incident suddenly happened and the whole city was talking. It was not until a few days later that the major event that caused the whole city slowly subsided.

On that day, Wei Shao returned from the government office and it was already dark.

He entered the gate, turned into the back house, went straight to the north house, and reached the three-way intersection, but his footsteps were accustomed to stop, and looked at the west room on his right. He continued to step forward.

Mrs. Xu sat on the couch, facing a small copper stove with both ears, as if she was thinking in a daze. Suddenly, the servant woman outside the door called out "Male King". She looked up and saw Wei Shao coming in with a cold air, and a smile appeared on her face. When Wei Shao got closer, she asked him about his safety and asked him if he had used dinner. He heard that he hadn't eaten yet. He felt a little distressed, so he hurriedly asked Mrs. Zhong to bring the meal in.

Under the gaze of Mrs. Xu, Wei Shao finished dinner silently. After the meal case was removed, Wei Shao said, "How is my grandmother's health these days? After I came back, I was overwhelmed by affairs and still failed to fulfill my filial piety to my grandmother's knees. I was very uneasy. Grandma, don't blame me."

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

After saying that, he looked at his grandson carefully. Seeing that there seemed to be a faint feeling of tiredness between his eyebrows. Thinking of the days he came back, he went out early and came back late every day, and didn't say much in front of him. After thinking for a while, he sighed slightly: "Shao'er, grandmother didn't want to let you know the troubles of the back home at home, so as not to add to your thoughts out of thin air. Then again, the back home is the business of our mother. If there is any recession, it is the first thing that my grandmother will do wrong. If you want to blame me, blame me first. But this time, since your mother is imprisoned in confinement, you always have to give you an explanation. This time your mother is too much. If you let her go as before, you don't know what kind of disaster will cause in the future. Grandmother knows that you are a filial son, you won't blame your grandmother in your heart, right?"

Wei Shao said: "Why did my grandmother say this? My mother was so confused that she committed such a thing. She was so careless about her. She was so generous to her. Her grandmother was so confused that she would not be so confused about right and wrong."

Xu Fu nodded: "It's good that you can think so. This time, the matter of the house in the future is here for you, so you don't have to worry about it anymore. Grandma herself knows the right measure."

Wei Shao said: "Although the incident happened, it was dangerous but it made me feel scared. If it weren't for her..."

He paused and jumped over: "If it weren't for the auspicious appearance of the man and the heavenly beings of his grandmother, his grandson wouldn't dare to imagine..."

Mrs. Xu looked at him and smiled and said, "Yes, if your wife hadn't been alert and let the cat stop him in time, I'm afraid that grandmother would no longer see you when you come back this time..."

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

Mrs. Xu looked at him with a smile, and her other hand covered the back of his thick hand. She patted her softly and said, "Grandma is fine, she's gone..."

Wei Shao finally slowly let go of Mrs. Xu's hand, sat upright again, and said, "Grandmother, I listened to the statement of Yuyang Order. Jiang Ma was trying to take medicine to poison my grandmother. The woman from the village marquis's house, who died on the day of the incident. How could Jiang Ma get medicine from that woman? Where did that woman come from? He really obeyed my mother's things? It's not that my grandson wanted to defend my mother. But the process was full of doubts. If this matter is not clear, I will feel uneasy."

Mrs. Xu stared at Wei Shao for a moment and said slowly: "Your grandmother is old. She used to doze off, but she is not confused yet. This time she walked by the gate of hell, and her grandmother naturally thought of what you were worried about. Leave this matter to grandmother himself! The same thing, do your things outside, and deal with these ghosts and monsters in the back house by yourself. You don't need to be distracted."

Wei Shao hesitated for a moment.

"Why, you don't even believe your grandmother?" Mrs. Xu's eyes were bright and bright.

Wei Shao thought for a while and said, "Since my grandmother said that, what my grandson heard from her grandmother is. If her grandmother makes progress, please inform her as soon as possible, so that she can rest assured."

Mrs. Xu smiled and nodded, looked at him, and suddenly said, "Do you miss your wife a little? It's also a big deal for grandmother. At that time, she said she would go back to visit the hospital. Grandma was soft-hearted and let her go. But she didn't ask for her return date. She asked you to come home now, but she was alone. Grandma was so sad that she looked at it."

Wei Shao was stunned, a hint of embarrassment flashed through his eyes, and then he said seriously: "How could it be! Grandma misunderstood! She went back. Not to mention that if she was happy, it would be fine if she lived in Qiao's house for a year and a half. I am a big man and I can't even be busy with things outside. How could I care about these things?"

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

Wei Shao smiled and said a few more words with Mrs. Xu, urged the servant to serve with sincerity, and then he respectfully refused to leave.

...

Wei Shao returned to the west room alone, feeling a little depressed. When he entered the inner courtyard, he looked up and saw that the candlelight in the room was lit, and there seemed to be a slim figure shaking in front of the window. His heart suddenly jumped, and he immediately accelerated his pace, took a few steps and went up the steps, pushed open the door, and scared a maid who was changing the candlelight in front of the case. When he turned around, he quickly stepped back and called him "June".

Wei Shao's expression became cold. He heard the maid explain there and brushed his hand impatiently. Seeing that his face looked ugly, the maid didn't dare to stop anymore, so she hurriedly stepped out.

Wei Shao went to the study room and returned late at night. He lay down but still couldn't sleep. With his eyes closed, Xiao Qiao looked like he appeared in front of him, either teasing him or pouting. He thought it was dry, but the pillow fell on his face. He gradually seemed to be in a burst of fire in his heart and under him.
