[486] Big Joe and Little Joe

Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan and Sun Quan left the mountain pavilion and came to Sun Quan's temporary residence, during which Ma Xiaoquan mentioned the matter of sending a letter to Cao Cao, and Sun Quan even cheekily asked him to go to see Xiao Qiao with Ma Xiaoquan

+++++++++++++++++ because the place where Xiao Qiao lives now is still a long distance away from where Ma Xiaoquan is currently located, and Cao Cao is currently at war with Sun Quan, and the war is relatively tight, although Sun Quan said that he wants to go with Ma Xiaoquan, but as the head of Jiangdong, he knows very well what to do now.

In his eyes of extreme envy and jealousy, Sun Quan watched Ma Xiaoquan leave

The road was calm and quiet, and there was no episode, Ma Xiaoquan came to Xiao Qiao's hometown.

Erqiao's hometown is in the east of Anhui County.

As soon as he stepped into Anhui County, Ma Xiaoquan was deeply attracted by the scenery here.

In ancient times, Anhui County was relatively poor, but if you look at it according to the judgment standard of Ma Xiaoquan, a modern person, Anhui County is a very natural and beautiful small county.

As a man who has been running around for many years, Ma Xiaoquan has seen a lot of beautiful scenery, but Anhui County really shocked Ma Xiaoquan.

It's not that Anhui County is beautiful, it's just that the scenery here gives people a soft beauty, just like the women of southern Anhui, gentle and quiet.

Since the death of her husband, Xiao Qiao has moved back to her hometown and lived with her father Qiao Lao.

Ma Xiaoquan once asked Sun Quan, and Sun Quan said that the second daughter moved home because her husband died and was sad, but the fact is that Sun Quan coveted the beauty of Xiao Qiao, and deliberately set aside his brother Sun Ce's son.

Ma Xiaoquan doesn't care so much, this is all other people's family affairs, as an outsider, he is not that interested in asking.

In line with the principle of leaving after sending a love letter to Cao Cao, Ma Xiaoquan knocked on the door of Qiao's house.

The one who opened the door was an old man, who looked like he was sixty or seventy years old, Ma Xiaoquan politely said hello to the old man, and then he knew that the old man was Qiao Lao.

Qiao Lao is also known as Qiao Guolao, but Qiao Guolao prefers others to call him Qiao Lao.

Qiao Lao was also stunned when he saw Ma Xiaoquan.

Qiao Lao was an official of the imperial court when he was young, and he had seen a lot of strange things, but Ma Xiaoquan's appearance and body shape still surprised Qiao Lao very much.

Ma Xiaoquan smiled, pointed to his hair and said, "Old Qiao, do you want to ask me about the color of my hair?" ”

Qiao Lao shook his head and said, "Your Excellency's hair color is brighter than that of Zhongmou, but Zhongmou's eyebrows and beards are not like Your Excellency, which is black. ”

Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said nothing. The reason for the change in the color of his hair is because he has the heart of time in his body, and Sun Quan is born, of course, there is no comparison.

Qiao Lao saw that Ma Xiaoquan didn't speak, so he didn't ask any more questions, since he moved back to his hometown to live, few people came to visit, Qiao Lao was a person who had been in the officialdom, and when he saw Ma Xiaoquan's extraordinary skills, he naturally thought that Ma Xiaoquan was not an ordinary person.

"If Your Excellency doesn't dislike it, you can go into the cold house, and we can have a cup of tea, wouldn't it be happy?"

Ma Xiaoquan nodded, this old Qiao is really old, he sees that he doesn't ask about his intentions or reasons, it's amazing, it's amazing!

"Hehe~~ It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, hehe"

After entering the courtyard, Ma Xiaoquan was attracted by the scenery in the courtyard.

Ma Xiaoquan thought that a person of Qiao Lao's status should decorate the courtyard more magnificently, but in fact, in this courtyard, except for a stone round table and four stone piers, there are no other furnishings.

The ground floor of the annex is paved with bluestone bricks, and some of them have broken due to time.

Although the overall appearance of this annex is a bit monotonous, it gives people a very simple and elegant feeling.

Ma Xiaoquan looked around several times, and couldn't help but sigh: "Old Qiao, you have the identity of a national elder, why don't you choose to live in a bigger and more comfortable place?" ”

Qiao Lao smiled and said: "I'm old, and I don't have much pursuit of these things, but my two daughters have to come back to live with me, an old man, hey~~"

Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Hmm~~ Speaking of Qiao Lao's daughter, why haven't I seen it?" ”

Qiao Lao smiled and said, "Your Excellency came today, which of my daughters are you looking for?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "Find both!" ”

"Looking for them all?" Qiao Lao was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Excellency, I'm afraid what you said is a bit excessive."

Ma Xiaoquan said: "Old Qiao misunderstood me, I did come here to find Er Qiao, but not for me." ”

"Oh?" Qiao Lao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Then who is Your Excellency?" ”

"Cao Cao!"

"Cao Cao?" Qiao Lao exclaimed, "Your Excellency is Cao Cao's person?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "No! ”

"Wait!" Qiao Lao looked at Ma Xiaoquan, as if he remembered something, so he asked tentatively, "I heard that there is a Ma family compound in Yecheng, and the head of the Ma family compound at that time is a master immortal, the immortal's surname is Ma, his name is Xiaoquan, it is said that the officials and people in Yecheng call him 'Lord Shangxian' dare to ask Your Excellency, do you have anything to do with that 'Lord Shangxian'?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan smiled, stretched out his right hand, and after a little concentration, a light red flame immediately ignited in the palm of his right hand.

"This" Qiao Lao looked at the flame in Ma Xiaoquan's hand and froze.

Ma Xiaoquan extinguished the flame in his palm and said slowly: "Uh~~~ I didn't expect me to be so famous, hehe"

As soon as the words fell, the source in the left eye suddenly said: "Ma Xiaoquan, do you dare to pretend to be deep again?" ”

A "bang" suddenly sounded not far from Ma Xiaoquan and Qiao Lao.

Old Qiao came back to his senses, looked towards the place where the voice came from, couldn't help frowning, and scolded: "What kind of system!" ”

Ma Xiaoquan also turned his head and saw a stunning woman.

The woman has a slender figure, and her facial features have the unique beauty of Jiangnan women.

Ma Xiaoquan looked at the woman and couldn't help but be stunned.

On the other hand, the woman, although the teacup and teapot in her hand had fallen to the ground and shattered, she did not have the slightest sense of tension.

The woman stood slim and looked at Ma Xiaoquan, but her eyes were a little hollow.

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and asked, "Are you Da Qiao or Xiao Qiao?" ”

The woman's eyes widened, she looked at Ma Xiaoquan, and only after a while did she say tremblingly: "Xiao Qiao"

"Wow~~" Hearing Xiao Qiao's voice, Ma Xiaoquan couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

Although Xiao Qiao only said two words, it made Ma Xiaoquan's heart shake fiercely.

Such a beautiful sound is really rare to hear in the world.

"Gollum~~" Ma Xiaoquan swallowed his saliva and asked, "Where is your sister?" ”

Little Joe shook his head.

Ma Xiaoquan turned his head to look at Qiao Lao, and saw that Qiao Lao was still in a daze, so he couldn't help but gently stepped forward and patted the other party.

"Oh, uh~~~" After being slapped back to his senses by Ma Xiaoquan, Qiao Lao's face turned red after a few words.

Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "Old Qiao doesn't need to panic, Ben Xian came this time, just for Xiao Cao, oh, it's Cao Cao to send two letters to your daughter, of course, you can also send them to you, you can also read it!" ”

After that, Ma Xiaoquan took out the letter in his arms and handed it to Qiao Lao.

Qiao Lao took the letter, hesitated whether to open it in front of Ma Xiaoquan, and after thinking for a while, Qiao Lao still decided to give the letter to his two daughters.

"Xuanshuang, come here!"

Xiao Qiao hummed lightly and walked over a little timidly.

Old Qiao handed one of the letters to Xiao Qiao and said, "This is given to you by Cao Cao, you can take a look, by the way, call my sister after reading it." ”

Xiao Qiao sighed and took the letter, but did not open it in front of his father.

She took a small step back, saluted her father and Ma Xiaoquan, and then turned to leave.

After a while, Xiao Qiao and his sister came together.

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao have a slightly different appearance and temperament, compared to his sister, Da Qiao is more mature.

While Ma Xiaoquan was amazed by Da Qiao's appearance, he couldn't help but sigh at the hard-working woman in front of him.

was widowed at a young age, and she was such a beautiful character woman, who she put it on, everyone was very distressed.

Elder Qiao handed another letter to Da Qiao and said, "This is from Cao Cao." ”

"For me?" Da Qiao was not as reserved as Xiao Qiao, and asked his father, "Cao Cao wrote to me?" Father, why? ”

Qiao Lao looked at Ma Xiaoquan and said, "You can ask this uh~~~ It should be 'Lord Shangxian'."

"Lord Immortal?" Da Qiao looked at Ma Xiaoquan with wide eyes, "Daddy, is this the immortal master that Zhongmou said?" ”

Qiao Lao nodded.

"Oh, that's great~~ I finally met Lord Shangxian!"

Da Qiao said, jumping happily, her current behavior is not at all like a woman over thirty years old.

Xiao Qiao is much more stable than his sister, and seeing his father's confirmation nod, Xiao Qiao's heart is also quite excited.

She had heard her husband Zhou Yu talk about the immortal master Ma Xiaoquan, and she had seen it from afar, but she was in too much of a hurry at that time, and Xiao Qiao couldn't see it very clearly.

Well, seeing Lord Shangxian so closely, Xiao Qiao was also excited in his heart.
