Volume 3 Chapter 112 Running away from home
Along the way, Qiao Loufeng always told An Ning about his experience when he was young, and An Ning benefited a lot, as if life suddenly opened up and knew another realm. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Dealing with people, the status quo of officialdom, and the power-for-money trading of white and underworld...... Qiao Loufeng's life has been full of ups and downs, and the experience is very imaginable.
And these stories are told eloquently, as if they opened another door for An Ning and allowed her to understand another life.
Halfway through the team to rest, Qiao Loufeng got off the horse with An Ning in his arms, came to the river, took out a jade pendant from his chest, lowered his head, and tied it to An Ning's belt: "This is your brother Mobai's jade pendant." The last time I entered the palace, His Majesty handed it over. β
An Ning lowered his head and held the piece of jade, and suddenly felt as heavy as a thousand catties.
This is half of a pair of jade jade pendants, there were originally two pieces, on the jade pendant, engraved with "Mo on the white clouds", non-poetry and non-words, it seems to be missing the lower rhyme.
Qiao Loufeng looked at the wide river, the convoy pulled the horses to drink water, the autumn wind was a little cold, An Ning held the jade pendant, but felt that the jade was very warm, as if it was carefully stored in his heart.
"The year Zibo was born, my grandfather was very happy, and he hit the horse back to Jindu, and there was a poem called what it was called - the spring breeze was ten miles, and the horse's hooves were proud......" Qiao Loufeng's eyes fell on the mountains, as if he remembered those good memories, and smiled on his face: "Grandfather was so happy, he forgot to buy a gift on the way, and suddenly felt very cold, so he stopped at a stall." β
At that time, he saw a piece of jade, the texture was very good, but unfortunately it was only half of the pair of jade, and the other half no longer knew where it was, so the remaining half of the piece could not be sold.
"My grandfather didn't understand jade at that time, so he thought it was beautiful, so he bought it for five hundred taels of silver, and gave it to his grandson when he returned home. Ah Zheng asked me to choose a name, I hadn't read a few lines of poetry at that time, and I would take a name anywhere. Grandfather shook his head with a smile: "I just saw the line of words on the jade, so I took 'Mobai', and Ah Zheng also praised me for my literary talent." β
The matter of naming his grandson seemed to make Qiao Loufeng very happy, and now in retrospect, there was a tenderness in his eyes.
An Ning stepped forward and took his grandfather's hand, which was wide, heavy, and trembling slightly. An Ning has never understood men's emotions, they can't cry like women, and they can't expose their emotions, as if they can hide their sadness deep in their hearts.
Qiao Loufeng held her hand and squatted down, and said softly: "This jade pendant will be given to you in the future, if there is fate, you may be able to find the other half of the jade pendant." An Ning shook his head: "This is Brother Mobai's thing, grandfather should be missed." β
Qiao Loufeng rubbed her head: "Grandfather has half of his feet in the coffin, An Ning is still young, he has lived longer than his grandfather, and he has long remembered it, An Ning will remember your brother Mobai for his grandfather." β
When An Ning grows up and has children, she can tell her children a story about a teenager.
An Ning's eyes were slightly wet, and he nodded vigorously.
The convoy was getting ready to go, but Qiao Da beside Qiao Guogong hurriedly walked over, met Qiao Guogong, hugged his fists and said in a low voice: "Lord, there is news from Qiao's Mansion that Fifth Young Master Qiao is gone." β
- Qiao Xu is gone!
An Ning shook his grandfather's hand in shock, Qiao Mobai was no longer there, Qiao Xu was now the only grandson of Qiao Mansion, how could the heir to the title of Duke Qiao Guo disappear for no reason in the future!
Jiang is still sick, and Qiao Ying is already crazy-Qiao Xu is only eleven years old, where can he run.
An Ning suddenly thought if someone had targeted the Qiao family and kidnapped Qiao Xu.
Qiao Guogong stood up and stood with his hands in his hands, his face calm: "Can Qiao Si still be contacted?" Qiao Da shook his head: "On the day that Young Master Qiao Xu disappeared, Qiao Si also disappeared together, but according to Qiao Wu, Qiao Si left a mark. β
Since Qiao Mobai passed away, Qiao Guogong specially arranged for his personal guards Qiao Si and Qiao Wu to look at Qiao Xu, who was his only grandson after all.
He pondered for a moment and commanded, "Bring the map of mountains and rivers." β
Qiao Da rushed back, and immediately ran to the river with the mountain and river map, Qiao Guogong took it with one hand and spread it out along the roller.
"How long does it take to ride a horse from Jindu to Lianggu City?"
Qiao Da calculated: "It will take half a month to travel fast." β
Their convoy had only been gone for seven days, and the convoy was huge, carrying goods, and the speed was very slow, and it had not yet reached Jinju.
Qiao Guogong's eyes were calm, and he looked at the states and counties along the mountain and river map: "Immediately send messages to people and horses from all over the country, go to the mountain trail to ambush, and find a young man who rides a horse alone." β
An Ning listened on the sidelines, slightly puzzled - did Qiao Xu run away from home by himself, what did he want to do?
Qiao Da was slightly stunned, and immediately responded, Qiao Guogong's face was serious: "You don't have to show mercy to your subordinates, if you break his leg, you can take him back." He handed the mountain and river map back to Qiao Da.
Qiao Da trembled, Qiao Guogong's tone seemed calm, but he was actually extremely angry. The little master is really, why bother with everyone.
ββThe road from Jindu to Lianggucheng is long, the weather is cold, if the little young master has a little accident, it is estimated that the grandfather of the country has the heart to kill.
Qiao Guogong turned to An Ning and said, "Originally, I wanted to take you around and see the customs, but now I'm afraid I can't." An Ning's tone was anxious: "Grandfather, it's still important to find Qiao Xu." β
If Qiao Xu doesn't take the official road and goes to the wild road, it will be even more difficult to find, who knows what will happen on the road.
Qiao Guogong shook his head and sighed: "I haven't disciplined Xu'er much since I was a child, and I think that since there is a son Bozhi in the future, it will not be short of his food and clothing, and it doesn't hurt for him to be happy, so let his temperament be." β
Unexpectedly, Qiao Mobai died at a young age, and Qiao Xu was so bold that he ran away from home without saying a word to his family. Does he know that the rivers and lakes are sinister, the people's hearts are not ancient, and he can't be prevented when he goes out.
An Ning looked up at his old grandfather and comforted, "It's not too late to teach. She said softly: "He will definitely be as good as Brother Mobai." β
Qiao Guogong nodded helplessly, and let out a long sigh: "I hope." β
The convoy picked up speed, and the people gave up walking, and when they entered a county town, they sold most of their goods and replaced them with horses. Only then did An Ning know the reason why his grandfather went north to buy goods - the northern Xinjiang was short of materials, and the grain and cotton cloth were very valuable, so he sold half of them, and he had already earned back the money when he bought them.
And if this batch of goods really arrives in Lianggu City, the price can be increased several times.
The people rode away quickly, and within a day, they arrived at the border of Jinju, and the horses were already very tired, and a few of them had died, and it was impossible to hurry again.
And the news of Qiao Xu and Qiao Si seemed to sink into the sea, and there was no movement. (To be continued.) )
