Bend Over [ 折腰 ] - Chapter 49

[Chapter 49 26]

After Qiao Ci finished paying respects to Lady Xu and The Zhu clan, Xiao Qiao also thanked them both and Wei Yu, and then took Ah Di to his own West House.

ChunNiang had been looking at the middle of the road early in the morning, and saw Qiao Ci and Xiao Qiao coming side by side in the distance, greeted them, smiled and squinted deliberately: “Gongzi, do you remember the?”

In the past, in The East County, on the time spent together, Xiao Qiao and ChunNiang were actually only two years, but Qiao Ci was really looked up to by Chunniang from childhood. Although the owner of the Qiao family is mediocre and incompetent, there is one thing that is difficult for other families to reach, that is, he has always been lenient to the people under his rule and the people in the family. Qiao Ci was the same, and had a good relationship with Chunniang, and when he saw her, he went up and said, “Chunniang is a few points younger than before, and I can’t recognize her.”

ChunNiang knew that the little prince was making herself happy, but she was really happy by him. Joyfully picked him up, gossiped all the way back to Westinghouse. Little Joe asked his father and his uncle and aunt about their health. Qiao Ci said, “Father is in good health, and before he came, he also specially instructed me to bring a message, so that Sister A, you don’t have to worry, you can live well on your own side.” But uncle, some time ago Xue Tai came to attack, and he fell ill. Later, Xue Tai retired from the army and raised it for a few days. My aunt has always been fine.

Little Joe heard that his father was healthy and well, and he was also relieved.

ChunNiang was talking for a while, knowing that they should have something else to say, and went out first. Leaving little Joe Qiao Ci sister and brother two.

……

The Wei family, whether it was the grandmother or the mother-in-law of the sister-in-law, was so polite, not to mention the attentive reception of the Wei cousin, which was simply meticulous. In this way, it seems that Sister A mistakenly hit and bumped into this place can also be considered a blessing in disguise, and her life is very good. As long as Sister Ah is doing well, it is even more important than her own life. Qiao Ci was overjoyed and in a good mood, and as soon as Chunniang went out, she immediately rushed and asked, “Sister, when will my brother-in-law return?” I went out of town to meet him!

Xiao Qiao remembered the night before Wei Shao left, and mentioned to himself that he had few conversations when he was going to Zhuo County the next day.

In fact, Xiao Qiao did not think that Wei Shao had deliberately avoided welcoming his brother and Yanzhou to Zhuo County.

So far, though, she couldn’t talk about how much she knew about him. But he always felt that with Wei Shao’s identity and his conceited personality, even if he really didn’t want to receive visitors, if he ignored it, he wouldn’t be unable to do it, and there was no need to choose to avoid such a way.

Maybe he really needs to pass at this time.

But then again, even if it was a coincidence, these days, for Qiao Ci’s arrival, Wei Shao gave her the feeling that was cold and negative. It’s similar to the feeling of “my grandmother let her do what she wants, and what to do with me”.

If he had always had the cold and disgusting attitude towards himself that he had always had at the beginning, she certainly didn’t care.

But now, the two have done everything intimately. Looking at his appearance, he seemed to be quite fascinated by himself, and at that time in the study, the moment before saying that, he forcibly asked her to sit on his lap and let him touch and kiss him.

This was also when she learned that he was leaving at this moment, and she didn’t care at all, and she didn’t even have the slightest explanation or at least comfort her.

Even if she is open-minded and thinks open again, her heart is inevitably a little blocked.

Of course, she didn’t expect Wei Shao to meet her family just because she was good with herself. After all, the feud between father and brother does not share heaven.

But in the end, it will still be a bit difficult.

To put it bluntly, she felt that she was the plaything of Wei Shao, who named her wife. Like an Israeli waiter, now he covets freshness and gives himself a little good color, who knows what will happen in the future?

Now that he saw that Ah Di had just arrived, he was overjoyed, and I was afraid that he regarded Wei Shao as similar to Wei Yu, and when he saw that the real person was too far behind, he said: “Your brother-in-law is old and serious, and he is not the same as Wei Lingjun.” He has a reclusive personality and does not like to deal with people on weekdays. When you see him, be sure to maintain the necessary etiquette and do not need to be too warm, lest he misunderstand that you are offending and have a bad impression of you.

Qiao Ci was stunned. I looked at My Sister. Seeing her look serious, it didn’t look like she was laughing. After hesitating, he nodded, “I remember.”

Little Joe smiled, pulled him to sit down, and asked about his daily life. Qiao Ci responded one by one, hesitated, and suddenly asked, “Sister, do you have any news about your cousin now?”

Little Joe shook his head.

“Earlier I met the green-eyed Manuby!”

Little Joe was stunned.

Qiao Ci told the story of when he was outside Juye City, his father led 50,000 soldiers and horses from Yanzhou and Xue Tai’s two armies to prepare to fight to the death, and he went out to fight himself, first killing Xue Tai’s son, and then fighting against Xue Tai’s two men, and at a critical moment, he was rescued by a stranger who suddenly appeared.

“Sister, when he sent me back to my father, I stood on the ground and saw his face clearly, which was the Manubyan who had disappeared with my cousin in the family before. As soon as the war was over, I set my sights on him and tried desperately to catch up with him. He stopped and said he and his cousin were already husband and wife! I listened to him, as if my cousin was willing to go with him in the first place! Sister, you and your cousin have always been close, don’t you know half a minute beforehand?

Xiao Qiao only knew that his father led the army to refuse Xue Tai to be outside Juye City, and Xue Tai later heard that the base camp was attacked by Yang Xin and was forced to retreat to save himself. I didn’t know that there was such an experience in the middle. I was surprised and delighted after listening to it.

There has been no news of Bi Yan and Big Joe before, the chaotic world is not as good as the Taiping Dog, although I know that Big Joe should be able to protect Big Joe, but I am always a little worried, and I will think about it from time to time. Now that he suddenly learned this news from his brother’s mouth, at least it showed that the two of them should have fallen to their feet. Bi Yan also knew that Yanzhou was in difficulty, so he sneaked back to secretly help.

Xiao Qiao looked at his brother with confused eyes and said, “I know.” Not only do you know. I helped the two of them run away.

Qiao Ci was shocked and looked at Xiao Qiao stupidly, unable to say a word.

Little Joe said, “I know you don’t understand.” You’ll know later. Sister Ah wants you to remember that Biyan is not just an old manu in our family. He is extremely capable, born in a chaotic world, and if he has an opportunity, he may not be able to dominate one side in the future. The cousin married him and was in love with each other, and the two were created in heaven. I believed you and told you this. Maybe in the future, Yanzhou and our Qiao family’s lives will also need his help. You keep it in mind. Just go back, don’t let your uncle know about them, understand?

Qiao Ci has always been obedient to Xiao Qiao, although he is still in shock and cannot extricate himself, but when he saw Sister Ah saying this, his expression was very serious, he still nodded his head and murmured, “I remember.”

Xiao Qiao said, “This time Xue Tai attacked Yanzhou, and Yanzhou was able to keep it, because he relied on the gifts of others.” If our Qiao family continues like this, xue tai is gone today, and there will be Wang Tai and Li Tai tomorrow. The Qiao family itself is not strong, always pinning their hopes on others, how can it be extended?

Qiao Ci looked ashamed: “What Sister Ah said is true.” It was Ren Cheng Zhouqun who attacked in the first place, and the men in our family were incompetent, so they married you far away here. Only half a year has passed, and he has been attacked by Xue Tai again, trembling and trembling, and there is no peace! If our Qiao family does not stand, Yanzhou will sooner or later fall into the hands of others! Even

if Yanzhou was lost, he was afraid that in the end, there would be no one left.

Xiao Qiao stared at his brother, and his tone became softer, “Sister Ah knows that Ah Di has the heart to revitalize the family business, but Ah Di is only fifteen now, even if he has a heart, he is powerless to control alone.” Uncle is not to be counted on. Now I can only hope that my father will work hard. If my father can become the pillar of the Qiao family, in two years with the help of Adi, with the help of my Qiao family in Yanzhou, a three-pronged approach, why worry about not being able to revive the family business? Qiao Ci’s

blood boiled with excitement at Xiao Qiao’s description, and his face turned red: “Sister A is assured! When I went back, I urged my father not to blindly follow my uncle again! Listen to my uncle again, our Joe’s family will be finished sooner or later!

Xiao Qiao smiled and said, “You must dare to be so reckless, Father.”But instead of listening to you, they are going to beat you. No need for you to persuade. Before you go back, I’ll give you a letter and you’ll help me forward it to my father. Yanzhou suffered again and again, and I did not expect my father to be willing to look up to people and even sit still.

Qiao Ci was embarrassed by what Little Qiao said, scratched his head, and responded. The sister and brother spoke for a moment, and Qiao Ci thought about it and said happily, “Sister, that Wei cousin said, wait and take me out for a ride, can I go?”

Xiao Qiao actually didn’t want Qiao Ci and Wei Yu to get too close. It was only in the North House that Lady Xu personally sent such words, letting Wei Yu be the guest of the East, if she was not allowed, it was inevitable that some of them could not be said, and the younger brother looked at himself with his eyes at this time, slightly hesitated, and nodded.

Qiao Ci was happy.

“However, everything has a degree. He is easy-going, that is, he is kind to you out of the friendship of the landlord. The etiquette and rules you should have, keep them. Can’t be too close to people, understand?

Qiao Ci replied with a full mouth.

Little Joe looked at his brother’s elated look, still a child, couldn’t help but laugh and shook his head.

Lunch Joe Ci used here in little Joe. Mrs. Xu sent someone to send a box of dishes. The two brothers and sisters finished eating, rested for a while, and the next person came to pass on the word, and Wei Yu had already arrived.

Little Joe sent Qiao Ci to the gate.

Wei Yu was dressed in hunting clothes, with more than a dozen retinues in the same strong costume, waiting, a group of people dressed in fresh clothes and angry horses, rich and powerful. Seeing Xiao Qiao leading Qiao Ci out, Wei Yu greeted him, quickly walked up the steps, and said to Xiao Qiao: “Brother and sister rest assured, I will take care of Adi and return before dark.”

Xiao Qiao thanked him and watched Qiao Ci get on his horse, ride with Wei Yu and gallop towards the outside of the city, and the cries of the group gradually disappeared into his ears.

……

Before dark, Qiao Ci did return. The next day, he went hunting with Wei Yu. The group came to the Fishing Mountain Hunting Ground, and the harvest was very rich, with two roe deer and countless pheasants and hares. In the blink of an eye, a day passed, the sun gradually began to tilt westward, Wei Yu was about to shout and return to the city, when he suddenly saw a frightened adult deer in the dense forest in front of him, with a plump physique and a swollen abdomen, looking like a pregnant doe, he immediately pulled a bow and arrow, an arrow shot out, one of the running doe’s hind legs in the middle, the doe fell to the ground with a cry of mourning, climbed up and dragged the bloodied leg, limped and still struggled to escape. The retinue rushed to catch the doe. Wei Yu rolled over and dismounted, took a leather bag, drew a dagger from the boot barrel, and was about to cut the throat of the doe and bleed into the skin bag, Qiao Ci was beside him, seeing the doe you you you were mourning, Yu couldn’t bear it, and said: “Cousin Wei, can you release this thing?”

Wei Yu looked up at him.

Qiao Ci saw that many of his entourage also looked at him with surprised eyes, his face was red, and he said, “My sister taught me before that if you encounter a pregnant mother animal during hunting, you should not be harmed.” I saw that this doe’s belly was as big as a drum, and Presumably it was about to give birth…”

He was a big man, and when he said such a thing, he was really ashamed of his teeth, and after saying half of it, he stopped.

Wei Yu was frightened, and then he laughed, immediately collected the dagger and threw away the skin bag, ordered his men to pull out the arrow from the deer leg, take the golden sore medicine to put it on, and after letting it go, patted the shoulder of qiao Ci, who was red-eared, and smiled: “What your sister said is very true.” I’ll remember it later. Qiao Ci was

originally worried that he was going to laugh at himself, but he didn’t expect his attitude to be so cheerful, and he was immediately relieved, and his heart was even closer to him, and he hurriedly thanked him.

……

A group of people returned from the fishing mountain and rode in the direction of the city, and when they arrived, on a road to the west, from far and near, a group of more than a dozen people and horses bathed in the sunset. Also heading for the city, the two sides gradually met and met at the fork in the road.

The retinue that followed Wei Yu had already recognized that the man and horse who was approaching in the sunset were the same prince Wei Shao who had gone to Zhuo County three days ago.

The entourage stopped at the side of the road and dismounted and knelt down to greet them.

Wei Yu slowly drew his horse, but did not go down, only sat on the horse and watched Wei Shao gradually come.

Qiao Ci did not recognize Wei Shao, and naturally did not get off the horse, only following Wei Yu to stop the horse, staring at the opposite team of people and horses that were speeding towards him. He saw that the man who was in the front was very young, handsome, with a determined look, his eyes looking straight ahead, the evening wind attacking his robe, the corners of his clothes flying, and the horse galloped to the near front in the blink of an eye.
