Section 2: The Qiao family

This huge mansion is located in the southeast of Anhui County, surrounded by high walls of length and width. In the center of the main entrance of the house, there is also a plaque engraved with the words "Qiao's house".

"Come, I'll take you off the horse."

When Zhou Yu hugged Xiao Qiao, she happened to bump into her two brothers leaving the house, and when they saw the strange man doing something to the little sister, they rushed forward and said, "Who are you, you dare to despise my sister!" ”

These two sons of the Qiao family, one was twenty years old at the time, and his name was Qiao Yuan; One was eighteen years old, and his name was Qiao Zhan. They went out of the house this time to find their two younger sisters on the orders of their father.

Da Qiao jumped off the horse, pulled the two brothers apart, and said, "The two elder brothers can't make mistakes, he is the savior of his sister." My sister didn't know how to ride a horse, and her ankle was injured again, so he carried her sister off the horse, which was really helpless. ”

Zhou An muttered, "Kindness is regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs", and said to Zhou Yu: "Stand here and do nothing, don't go quickly." ”

Zhou Yu bowed, said "farewell", and left with Zhou An. Before leaving, he quietly looked back at the strange behavior behind the side, perhaps even he didn't care about it, and forgot to return the shoes and socks he picked up to Qiao's family.

At this moment, it was close to noon, and with the sun was rising, the midsummer heat was blazing; Along with the sweat, it was the blood under Piao'er's skin.

Looking at Zhou Yu's distant back, Xiao Qiao couldn't help but chant: "The son of Piqi is as beautiful as jade." It is as beautiful as jade, and it is very different from the princess. ”

When Qiao heard this, he couldn't help but "hum" and said, "In my opinion, "Fen Frustration" is not suitable for him. ”

"Why did the second brother say this?" Little Joe said.

Qiao Zhan picked up Xiao Qiao and walked to the mansion, "It's a long story, you will know in the future." The crowd has been waiting in the house for a long time, and my father is looking for you very quickly, so he will follow me to meet him quickly. ”

Speaking of the guests in the house, it is another lord, son and matchmaker of a wealthy family surnamed Xu in Anhui County. The purpose of their coming here is to choose one of the Qiao sisters to marry.

"Let go of me, I'm not going, I'm not going!"

Xiao Qiao struggled again and again, but was still carried by Qiao to the living room of Qiao's mansion. She had an ankle injury and had to lie down on the feast. Others were sitting at the feast.

"Frost, what's wrong with your feet?"

Compared with her father's concern, the matchmaker who proposed marriage was a little inferior, and she said: "Oh, what's wrong with the second miss of the Qiao family, she won't be crippled!" ”

"You!"

Qiao's family frowned angrily.

"The matchmaker was born lowly and doesn't know how to be polite, so don't be surprised by Brother Qiao." Xu Gongdao, "In my opinion, the eldest lady is more symbolic, and she has the appearance of a good wife, and my son is willing to marry your eldest lady." ”

"You look up to me, but I don't like you." Big Joe said.

"What kind of good wife's face, you are just worried about my second sister's feet, afraid that she will leave any sequelae in the future." Joe said.

"Enough, stop arguing." Qiao Gong said, "If Brother Xu doesn't think my Qiao family's food is rough, just stay and have some food." ”

Xu Gong said, "The Xu family still has important matters, so I will leave", and left the Qiao family with others. As soon as they left, Qiao Gong "banged" and said, "Qiao Yuan, how can you help your sister find her mother-in-law!" ”

Qiao Zhan muttered "I, I" twice, and said, "Come on, go and find a doctor for my sister." ”

Qiao Gong pulled his face, looked at his daughter's injury, and said, "Does it hurt?" ”

Xiao Qiao squeezed a smile and said, "Father, don't worry, I don't hurt anymore, it really doesn't hurt anymore." ”

Qiao Zhan stared at his sister's feet, looked at them carefully, and said, "Father, don't worry, my sister's injury should be fine." ”

"Tell Father how your feet became like this."

"It's a long story......"

It took Xiao Qiao a quarter of an hour to finish talking about what happened during the trip.

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Zhan said, "Sister, do you remember Piao'er's skin color?" ”

Xiao Qiao closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "It should be brown." ”

The corners of Qiao Zhan's mouth rose, and he muttered, "As I expected", and said: "Zhou An is just Zhou Yu's servant, Zhou Yu is the real master, and his birth should also be the home of a certain eunuch." ”

"How so?" Little Joe said.

"Just with Zhou Yu's bloody horse." Qiao said, "In my sister's impression, Piao'er's complexion is brown, but when I saw Piao'er, Piao'er's complexion was blood red. This is not wrong, just because Piaoer is a bloody horse.

According to historical records, the sweat and blood BMW is also called Tianma, which comes from the Dawan Kingdom. In the early years, in order to get thousands of sweat and blood horses, Emperor Wu did not hesitate to use more than 100,000 Han troops, trekked thousands of miles twice, and continued to fight against Dawan for four years. But in the end, it was only a thousand sweaty and bloody horses that were successfully brought back to Yumen Pass. After hundreds of years of vicissitudes, those who can now have sweat and blood, in addition to the children of the royal family, are the few official eunuch families.

I thought Zhou An was Zhou Yu's father, or the son of an official eunuch. What finally confirmed my identity as a servant was the very ordinary mount under his crotch. ”

"Then why did Zhou An pretend to be the master? Why did Zhou Yu pretend to be a slave? Little Joe said.

"If you want to know what the facts are, send someone to find out. If Zhou Yu is really an official eunuch, the happiest person is the eldest brother and younger sister. ”

"What should I be happy about!" Qiao Yuan and Xiao Qiao said in unison.

"You know it in your own hearts."

"Second brother, what do you say, don't make fun of Shuang'er."

Along with these words, there was also Xiao Qiao's gently rotating body, a slightly scarlet face, a slightly raised corner of his mouth, and flashing eyes.

Compared with Xiao Qiao's shyness, Qiao Yuan said angrily: "Second brother, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Outside the door, the servant said, "Master, the healer has arrived." ”

"Come in, please." Joe fair.

The healer was of medium stature, more than seven feet tall, and judging by the few traces of snow in his hair, he must have passed the age of no doubt. He was dressed in plain clothes, tied his hair with a scarf, and carried a medicine box on one shoulder.

"Quick, show my daughter her ankles." Joe fair.

The healer snorted and said, "Gong Qiao despises the healer like this!" ”

"You, you!"

Just when Qiao Gong was about to get angry, Xiao Qiao immediately rushed to say: "The troublesome doctor will see the little girl." ”

The doctor came to Xiao Qiao's side, put down the medicine box on his shoulder, and said, "I would like to see Miss in the next wish." ”

When the doctor checked the injury, Xiao Qiao couldn't help but say: "The little girl's name is Qiao Shuang, and the word is condensation." Dare to ask the doctor's name? ”

The healer deliberately whispered to Xiao Qiao: "In Xia Hua Tuo, the characters are elemental." ”

Xiao Qiao saw that Hua Tuo had no intention of announcing his identity, so he whispered: "Zunjia is the divine doctor Hua Tuo!" ”

Hua Tuo replied, "Exactly", and said, "What, it's not like that?" ”

"No, no, no." Qiao Shuang shook her head again and again, "Shuang'er heard that the divine doctor has always been a doctor in the clouds, but I don't know why she came here from the Anhui County Medical Hall?" ”

"Miss, listen to me......"

According to Hua Tuo, he came to Anhui County this time, one to teach medical skills, and the other to earn some money for medicine. He will not stay in the hospital for a few days, then he will leave Anhui County and start traveling again. At lunchtime, he heard that a wealthy family had paid a high price to ask for a doctor, so he took the initiative to come.

Hua Tuo went to see a doctor and found that Xiao Qiao's ankle had been reset, and the reduction technique was extremely professional, so he felt teased. But the serious appearance of the Qiao family does not look like a disguise, and there is only one possibility that the person who heals the wound is not a doctor. He sighed "sigh" and said, "Miss, who is this for you?" ”

"Well, it's ......"

Xiao Qiao hesitated for a moment and said, "It's a son called Zhou Yu." ”

Hua Tuo muttered, "It's a seedling who practices medicine", then stood up and said, "Miss's injury is no longer serious, but within a month, you must not move easily." ”

Qiao Gong sighed and said, "Come on, give Mr. a doctor." ”

"Sir, please take it."

The servant took a tael of gold and presented it to Hua Tuo with both hands, but Hua Tuo said, "I haven't cured the disease and saved people, so I don't dare to suffer in vain." ”

Through a conversation with Shicai, Xiao Qiao has basically understood Hua Tuo's heart, and she persuaded: "There are many people in the middle of the stream at the moment, this is the herbal medicine money that my Qiao family gave to the refugees, Mr. should accept it." ”

"What the little sister said is right, don't shirk sir." Joe agreed.

Hua Tuo accepted the gold and said, "Thank you for the homeless people." The young lady rested and took her leave. ”

Xiao Qiao sat on the seat and said, "The little girl is injured, please forgive me for not giving it all the courtesy." ”

"Second brother will send you back to the room."

After Hua Tuo left, Qiao Zhan carried his sister and went to her boudoir. During this period, he couldn't help joking: "It won't be long before the eldest brother will take you to thank Zhou Yu." ”

At the end of that day, Xiao Qiao was sitting on the bed, silently holding the book "Horse Book" when a woman suddenly came. The woman tiptoed to Xiao Qiao's side, saw that the book was turned on the page of the sweaty horse, so she snatched the book and said, "Is my sister knowing horses, or thinking about people?" ”

Xiao Qiao raised his head, looked at the person who grabbed the book, and said, "Sister-in-law came back so early." ”

Xiao Qiao's sister-in-law is the wife of the eldest brother Qiao Yuan, her maiden name is Li, and she is known as Li. Li's maiden family is also a wealthy family in this Anhui county. In the morning of the same day, the Li family went to visit their parents at their parents' house, so they missed the scenes of Qiao's family. When Shen Shi, when the Li family returned to Qiao's house, he heard everything that happened in Qiao's house all day.

Li Shi took the book in his hand, flipped a few pages at random, and said: "Brother Zhan has always liked horses and loved horses, I thought it was a plaything, and I didn't want to have a use for knowing people. At this moment, your eldest brother has sent a family member to investigate Zhou Yu, if Zhou Yu is really the son of an official eunuch, your brother will take you to the door to thank you one day. ”

At this time, Da Qiao happened to pass by his sister's boudoir. She heard a noise in the house, so she went into the house, snatched the book, and said, "The horse, the belongings of relatives, the sons of loyalty, know the least to be inflammatory." ”

Li knew that he couldn't argue with the Qiao sisters, so he snorted and left Xiao Qiao's boudoir with his sleeves.

Looking at the back of the Li family's negative departure, the Qiao sisters couldn't help but laugh "poof": "You should deal with her like this." ”
