Chapter 371: Sisters of the Qiao Family
The next morning, Zhang Lang went to deal with official business early in the morning, but Dong Ying slept until three poles in the morning and did not get up.
Qiao's family.
When Jingzhou had just fallen into the hands of Zhang Lang, Old Man Qiao, the second Qiao of the Qiao family, and all the people of the Qiao family were all worried for fear that Lu Bu's subordinates would not let go of them, Sun Jian's staunch supporters. However, as time passed, they found that the terrible things they imagined did not happen, even the lawsuit between the Cai family and several scholars who were in an uproar, did not appear as some people expected, and Lu Bu took advantage of the situation to play the topic, but made a judgment very fairly, and several scholars only returned the illegally occupied property and land, and imposed a fine of the same value, and the Assassin Shifu did not punish those scholars too harshly.
The Qiao family felt that the legendary incomparably terrifying Lu Bu did not seem to be as reasonable as the rumors.
This morning, Old Man Qiao was pacing back and forth in the back hall, his face full of hesitation.
Xiao Qiao Erqiao, who was dressed in a moon-white dress, came in from the door. Seeing the father who was not giving up, they glanced at each other, and stepped forward to salute: "Daughter to meet father." ”
Old Man Qiao glanced at his two daughters, and his troubled expression immediately dissipated, and he changed into a cheerful appearance, "It's you?" ”
Da Qiao asked, "Father has troubles?" ”
Old Man Qiao sighed, walked to the top and sat down, "I'm wondering, do you want to go and see the general!" Er Qiao was taken aback, and Xiao Qiao asked urgently, "Why did my father suddenly have this idea?" Then he said with a face full of resentment: "Our family shouldn't have anything to do with that tyrannical guy!" Then he said with a look of hope: "I only hope that Zhou Lang and Uncle Sun can come back soon to recover Jingzhou!" ”
Old Man Qiao shook his head and said, "Things are not so simple! If there are three points today, the strongest is Cao Cao, followed by Lu Bu, if the Sun family still retains Jingzhou, then the strength can compete with Lu Bu, and now the Sun family is not as good as before, and it is impossible to recapture Jingzhou at all! ”
Er Qiao's face changed, and Xiao Qiao asked urgently: "Could it be that the neighbors think that Zhou Lang and Uncle Sun are not Lu Bu's opponents?" ”
Old Man Qiao sighed, "In the battle of Shangyong that day, more than 400,000 Sun family troops were wiped out, and now the Sun family can only rely on the sailor in his hand to be in a safe corner!" Lu Bu is brave and unparalleled, and the brave generals under his command are like clouds and rain, and what is even more intimidating is the elite foot cavalry he trained single-handedly! I heard that even Cao Cao sighed that if the number of people is the same as that of the field front, no one in the world can compete with Lu Bu's army! The waves swept from the iron hooves, and 100,000 tigers destroyed the mountains! ”
Xiao Qiao said angrily: "Father, don't recite poetry at this time!" This is simply to grow the morale of others and destroy their own prestige! ”
Da Qiao pondered: "Does my father want to give up the Sun family?" ”
Xiao Qiao was shocked, hurriedly looked at his father, and said urgently: "Father, we must not be like this!" Uncle Sun treats us like a mountain, we can't be ungrateful! ”
Old Man Qiao was a little depressed in his heart, he didn't expect his two daughters to have such a deep affection for the Sun family and Zhou Yu! In this case, it will be difficult for him to realize his plan.
Old Man Qiao said: "I just want to improve the relationship with the general, I don't mean anything else, you two don't guess." ”
Hearing this, Er Qiao relieved his heart. Xiao Qiao patted his chest and said with palpitations: "I thought my father wanted to throw himself at Lu Bu!" I'll just say, my father is not that kind of ungrateful villain! Old Man Qiao laughed dryly.
The housekeeper rushed in, hugged his fists and said, "Master, a young man came outside, saying that he was a friend of the master and wanted to see the master." ”
"Friends? Youngster? Didn't he say what his name was? ”
"Nope."
Old Man Qiao thought for a moment, "Bring him here." ”
The butler answered and hurried out of the back hall.
Old Man Qiao said to Er Qiao: "My father wants to see the guests, so you two will avoid it for the time being." Er Qiao answered, saluted his father Yingying, and went out through the side door. Da Qiao was about to go back to the embroidery building, but Xiao Qiao grabbed her and whispered: "Sister, let's secretly see who is coming!" Da Qiao said: "That's not good." Little Joe was already crouching by the window. Big Joe shook his head helplessly and walked behind Little Joe.
A moment later, the butler led in a young man dressed in ordinary clothes with a scarf wrapped around his head. The housekeeper bowed to Old Man Qiao and left first. When Old Man Qiao saw the arrival, he found that he had a graceful body, a beautiful appearance, and very delicate facial features, which were even more beautiful than ordinary women, and he was stunned, feeling that he was a little familiar, and hurriedly asked, "Who is Your Excellency?" Why does it sound so familiar? The young man took off the scarf on his head, and the green silk on one end was sprinkled down, and she turned out to be a woman! The woman smiled and clenched her fists and said, "Uncle Qiao, don't you know me?" ”
Old Man Qiao recognized it, revealing an incredible look, "You, you are Sun Ren?!" ”
Sun Ren smiled and nodded, and formally greeted, "Niece to meet Uncle Qiao!" ”
Old Man Qiao was stupid there, and his heart was full of thoughts.
Da Qiao and Er Qiao ran out of the side door, all looking elated. "Xiangxiang, I really didn't expect you to come!" Xiao Qiao grabbed Sun Ren's slender hand and shouted excitedly. Da Qiao on the side was also very excited. Sun Ren was also very excited when he saw the two of them, "It's been a long time, I miss you every day!" ”
Old Man Qiao came over and said with a smile: "You three sisters have a good chat, I won't bother you." With that, he walked outside. The third daughter hurriedly saluted: "Congratulations to my father (uncle)." Old Man Qiao smiled and waved his hand, left the back hall, and walked towards the courtyard where he lived, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.
Er Qiao led Sun Ren to their courtyard, sat down in the water pavilion, and said goodbye to each other, and couldn't help but feel a little sad and helpless.
Xiao Qiao asked with concern, "Xiangxiang, is Zhou Lang okay?" ”
Sun Ren nodded, "Brother Zhou is very good, but he misses Sister Xiao Qiao very much." Xiao Qiao was silent, and his beautiful eyes showed a look of depression. Da Qiao looked at Sun Ren with a look of wanting to speak and stopping.
Sun Ren noticed Da Qiao's expression and said to her, "Big brother misses Da Qiao very much!" Da Qiao's heart trembled, and a strong affection rose from his chest, revealing through his beautiful eyes, and he let out a long sigh.
Xiao Qiao asked urgently, "Xiangxiang, when will Uncle Sun and Zhou Lang call back?" ”
Sun Ren smiled and said, "Don't worry! I'm sure it won't be long before that! When Er Qiao heard this, he couldn't help but show joy, and Xiao Qiao said with a look of eagerness: "I really want to see Uncle Sun and Zhou Lang enter Xiangyang City earlier!" ”
