Chapter Fifty-Eight: Promise to Repay
Qiao Xuan really loves his young son very much, looking at his figure running away, Zhou Yi smiled and said: "Champion Hou, Lord Cai, since the matter is settled, I will also leave!" β
"Master Zhou, go slowly!" Liu Zhang, Cai Yong and Zhou Yi saluted each other, and Zhou Yi led people out of Qiao's mansion.
"Master, those three robbers told me something else!" Seeing that there were no outsiders on the left and right, Liu Zhang said softly in Cai Yong's ear: "The person who instructed them is the Yuan family!" β
"What?" Cai Yong was taken aback, then looked at Liu Zhang seriously, and asked softly: "Aren't you taking revenge for personal gain!" β
"Master, what do you think of me?" Liu Zhang smiled: "I'm just telling you!" That's the way it is, and if you don't believe it, there's nothing I can do. However, since the Yuan family can attack the Qiao family, you also have to be careful, after all..."
Looking at Liu Zhang's clear eyes, Cai Yong nodded, he still trusted his apprentice very much. It's just that the contradiction between Liu Zhang and the Yuan family is not small, and he suddenly pointed the finger at the Yuan family, which inevitably made Cai Yong suspicious. Cai Yong smiled and said: "It's the teacher's fault, don't tell others what you say!" If it turns out that it is really the Yuan family, I..."
Liu Zhang smiled: "The master is serious! Isn't it just us? Besides, I'm just worried that the master is also being calculated by the Yuan family, so I will give you a wake-up call. To deal with the Yuan family, let's be an apprentice! β
Cai Yong nodded and said, "Let's go see Gongzi Qiao!" β
Liu Zhang and Cai Yong slowly walked to the hall of Qiao's house, and Qiao Xuan had just finished checking his youngest son's body. In addition to being a little frightened, he also took some anesthetic, Qiao Xiaogongzi had no problem at all, and the three robbers should have brought their own poison. Think about it, kidnapping and ransom is a big crime no matter which dynasty it is, and in the years when corporal punishment still existed in the Han Dynasty, it was better to die a happy death when the government was caught and punished. Since you dare to pin your head to the waistband of your trousers, you must have the consciousness of losing your surname at any time.
"Thank you Brother Bo, thank you Champion Hou!" Qiao Xuan saw Liu Zhang and Cai Yong, and thanked the two excitedly, and almost knelt down and kowtowed.
"Thank you Gongzi for saving my brother, the two of us have nothing to repay, I am willing to serve Gongzi as a slave and a maid, and there will be no complaints!" Qiao Xuan didn't kneel, but the two little girls knelt in front of Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang was taken aback, he was kind enough to save people, how could he really let the two girls be slaves and maids? Besides, if these two girls are really big and small Qiao, then wouldn't Zhou Yu and Sun Ce cry? Liu Zhang picked up the two girls and said, "Two girls, as the saying goes: when the road is uneven, draw a knife to help." Everything I do is my duty. If I had accepted you, would I not have become a villain with a reward of grace? β
"Gongzi is righteous, but my Qiao family has won favors, if I don't repay it, won't I become ungrateful?" The older girl said: "My Qiao family is poor, and there is really nothing to repay, if the son does not dislike the two of us, I hope to accept it!" β
Liu Zhang was a little helpless, how could there be a woman who wanted to post upside down these days. No, it's a girl who wants to post upside down! Looking at these two five or six-year-old girls, Liu Zhang threw a look of help to Cai Yong, but Cai Yong didn't seem to see it. In desperation, Liu Zhang had no choice but to look at Qiao Xuan, but Qiao Xuan didn't seem to see it, and was thoughtful on the side.
"Is it true that the concubine body can't enter the eyes of the son?" The slightly older girl's eyes were in tears, and she looked pitiful, which made Liu Zhang cry and laugh a little. If an adult beauty does such an action, it is estimated that Liu Zhang will not be able to bear it. But it's such a little beauty, is it possible to bring it back to be a child daughter-in-law? Liu Zhang is a little cold when he thinks about it!
"Virtuous nephew!" Just when Liu Zhang was about to resign, Qiao Xuan smiled and said: "I know that my virtuous nephew is righteous, but what my daughter said is also right. I've always heard Bo Ji say that you are honest and capable, but now when I see you, it's really extraordinary. Although my two daughters are a little naughty, they can be regarded as good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and knitting women are omnipotent, they can be said to be in the hall and in the kitchen, and I hope that the virtuous nephews will treat them well! β
"Uh... How do you say that? "The more Liu Zhang listens to it, the more wrong it becomes, why does Qiao Xuan seem to be promoting his daughter?
At this time, Cai Yong also said: "Zhang'er, I heard that you are said to study hard and practice hard, and you don't even have a maid." Today, you are kind to Gong Qiao, and Gong Qiao will allow your second daughter to be a concubine, so you can reluctantly embarrass it! β
Get! Old man Cai is more direct! The two elders said so, and Liu Zhang really had no way to refuse. Liu Zhang thought for a while, and the only way to do it was to procrastinate, so he smiled and said: "Gong Qiao, master, I really can't make the decision on this matter, why don't I go back and ask my father?" β
"Yes!" Qiao Gong and Cai Yong looked at each other and smiled, but Liu Zhang was chilled, and only heard Cai Yong say: "Zhang'er, it just so happens that there is nothing to do today, Qiao Gong and I will go to visit Lord Youzhou Thorn Shi!" β
"What?" Liu Zhang was sweating, these two old boys went to visit Liu Yan, not to mention that Qiao Gong's daughter was a beauty, even if it was two Zhong Kui, Liu Yan would let Liu Zhang accept it. What is most important to be an official in the court: connections! Cai Yong and Qiao Xuan, one is a lieutenant, the other is a Confucian, if the protΓ©gΓ© is in line, he can line up from Beijing to Youzhou! Marrying Mrs. Qiao's daughter, or being a concubine, this kind of good thing, others can't ask for it, if Liu Yan refuses, there will be a ghost!
With a sad face, Liu Zhang was helpless, and took Cai Yong and Qiao Xuan to his house. Liu Yan, who was recuperating at home, heard that Cai Yong and Qiao Xuan were visiting together, so he hurriedly asked people to open the middle door, and he almost unloaded the door! Liu Zhang looked at the situation at home and knew that he wanted two more little maids.
Sure enough, after Cai Yong and Qiao Xuan explained their intentions, Liu Yan was really flattered. With Qiao Xuan's identity, even if the emperor or prince wants to marry his daughter, there is no position of a wife. Liu Zhang actually let Qiao Xuan sacrifice his daughter as a concubine, which made Liu Yan surprised and delighted. However, when Liu Yan knew that these two concubines were exchanged for Liu Zhang's surname, his face was not very good-looking.
Qiao Xuan and Cai Yong were sent away, but the two girls were left behind. Since she was Liu Zhang's personal maid, she was naturally thrown into Liu Zhang's bedroom, but poor Liu Zhang was trained by Liu Yan for more than two hours. Looking at Liu Yan's lips rolling up and down, Liu Zhang felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart, maybe this is fatherly love!
Training, Liu Yan also discovered Liu Zhang's abnormality, he shook his head, he was really a little speechless for this son, he could still be so moved by being scolded, could it be a masochist? Thinking of this, Liu Yan was not interested in talking any further, so he waved his hand and asked Liu Zhang to go down to deal with the little beauty in the room!
"Meet Childe!" Liu Zhang thought about Liu Yan's good as he walked, and unconsciously walked to his room. When the two little beauties saw Liu Zhang coming in, they immediately stood up and saluted.
"Excuse me! In the future, there is no need to be so polite in my room, just feel free! Liu Zhang sat on the bed and saw that the two little girls were still standing, so he couldn't help but smile: "Sit down!" β
It was the first time for the two good girls to spend the night at someone else's house, although they would be regarded as members of the Liu family in the future, but they were still a little cramped in the face of Liu Zhang. After the two got Liu Zhang's order, one of them found a chair and sat on it carefully, lowered his head, and did not make a sound for a long time.
Liu Zhang smiled bitterly and touched his nose and said, "Two girls, there are many ways to repay you, but you don't have to. Why don't I send someone to take you back tomorrow? β
"No!" The older girl said: "My Qiao family will do what they say and do what they do, since our sisters have decided to repay the favor with their bodies, they will never regret it!" Unless... We're dead! β
"Gotcha! Still a tough chick! Liu Zhang scratched his head helplessly and said, "Then you guys stay here first!" That's right! I can't leave you without a name! β
"The concubine's name is Qiao Ying, that's my sister Xiyan!" The slightly older girl blushed and said, "At home, my father told us to be big and small Joe!" β
"Big and small Joe?!" After knowing that Mrs. Qiao was Qiao Xuan, Liu Zhang was a little clear, and now that he heard the name of the second daughter, he was even more convinced of his judgment. In order to confirm Er Qiao's identity, Liu Zhang asked with a smile: "Where are you from?" β
Da Qiao replied: "The concubine's ancestral home is Lujiang Anhui County, Yangzhou people's family!" β
That's right, Xiao Qiao is from Lujiang. According to legend, Qiao Xuan was disheartened by the death of his youngest son, and he was also old, so he returned to his hometown in Lujiang. Later, Sun Ce attacked Jiangdong, conquered Lujiang and Anhui County, and found the size of the national color and Tianxiang, so he married one with Zhou Yu alone, and no one knew whether it was a wife or a concubine.
Looking at the two trembling little beauties, Liu Zhang sighed helplessly. In his previous life, he used to love his girlfriend deeply, but unfortunately that woman betrayed him, and now there are two more beauties, but he doesn't know what to do. If it were someone else, Liu Zhang would treat them as irrelevant maids at most, but Xiao Qiao was not only a famous beauty in the late Han Dynasty, but also two hard-working people.
Since Liu Zhang was born, he has never let others serve him, no matter what Liu Yan and his wife say, he doesn't want a little maid or a maid. Because he knows that after getting along for a long time, there will be feelings, and this world has never been a place where you can be emotional. For a while, Liu Zhang was confused, and he was a little irritable and asked Xiao Qiao to go down to rest, but he didn't know how to treat Xiao Qiao. Finally, he covered his head and fell asleep.
In the dream, Liu Zhang saw Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Cao Ying, they all wanted to rob Xiao Qiao, and Xiao Qiao was hiding behind him with a frightened face! Just when Liu Zhang was helpless, he found that there were people standing around him, some knew and some didn't know, and at the front of these people were Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei!
Liu Zhang woke up, and he found that Da Qiao was actually asleep lying next to his bed. Da Qiao still held a pot of warm water in his arms, presumably to prevent him from being thirsty at night. Looking at the little girl's sweet smile and crystal face, Liu Zhang suddenly felt a wave of pride explode in his chest. The beauties of the mountains, the armor of the gods, the horses and the horses, which is not the pride of this era. Since you are fortunate enough to get Big and Little Qiao, then take good care of these two tragic beauties, and save Zhou Yu and Sun Ce from being ruined by the two short-lived ghosts!
