"Haha, that's great!" Qiao Guolao grinned, rummaged through the cabinets, took out a thing, a small jade pendant, handed it to Wang Baoyu and said, "If you meet this girl, you will say that this is a gift from Qiao Xuan." ”

Wang Baoyu looked left and right, but didn't see anything special, and after putting it away, he asked, "Gong Qiao, what else do you have to give her?" ”

"I am close friends with Cai Yong, if Wen Ji doesn't give up, you can come to Qiao's Mansion, and I will definitely treat it as my own." Qiao Guo said.

Wang Baoyu didn't mention Cai Wenji's words again, and after drinking a few cups of tea, Qiao Guolao asked curiously: "Wang Taishou is so young and in an important position, I don't know who my father's surname is?" ”

"Wang Lian Wang Yifu!"

Qiao Guolao was stunned for a moment, and said, "I never thought that you were the son of Mr. Yifu, why have you never heard him mention it?" ”

"Me! may not please him, and he has been fostered in Huang Chengyan's house since he was a child. Qiao Gong, do you know my father too? Wang Baoyu asked.

"A man is talented, no one knows, and I don't hide it, I have a friendship with a husband." Qiao Guolao said excitedly, "It's just that as soon as he goes to Xishu, there will be no news, which is sad!" ”

His father should be in his forties, and Qiao Guolao is almost seventy, and he seems to be a year-old friend. Wang Baoyu was idle and asked, "Since you are very familiar with my father, how many daughters-in-law does he have?" ”

The son didn't understand his father's situation, especially the family situation, which made Qiao Guolao very speechless, seeing that Wang Baoyu really didn't know anything, he slowly said: "First there is Liu, Qin Se and Ming, very affectionate, but then somehow, Liu left him, and there was no news." Later, there was the Cai family, virtuous and dignified, with a son, and the discipline was very strict. ”

Wang Baoyu roughly understood, what about Wang Lian, the two wives before and after, the previous Liu, should be his own mother, or took the initiative to leave Wang Lian.

It is very rare for ancient women to take the initiative to divorce, this Liu family is indeed quite individual, as for the reason, it is probably because his son was sent away by Wang Lian, and he left her husband in a fit of anger. According to Qiao Guolao, he should have a younger brother.

But there are still some doubts that are difficult to dredge, since Wang Lian's good friends in the circle know that there is a person named Liu, it means that Wang Baoyu should not be an illegitimate child, so why did Wang Lian abandon himself again?

"Kindness is also great, why don't Wang Taishou go to find relatives?" Qiao Guolao asked.

"Well, I don't know where he is, I'll talk about it later!" Wang Baoyu lied, knowing that his father was in Zitong County.

"I'll inquire for you." Qiao Guolao has a good impression of this young man.

"That's not necessary, Wang Lian, oh, no, my father also has his own life, I'm going to go to him and make a detailed plan."

"That's fine."

I didn't want to mention my father and mother here, because he had no emotional foundation with them, Wang Baoyu complimented him without words: "Gong Qiao, you are so strong, have you practiced the immortal law?" ”

The old man immediately grinned, and said arrogantly: "My teacher Yu Ji has taught the method of health preservation, practicing day and night, and now he is light and healthy, and he can enjoy his life." ”

Wang Baoyu was speechless for a while, this old man actually knows everyone, he really has a wide range of friends, and he can talk to anyone for a long time, it's really boring!

Wang Baoyu didn't want to talk about Yu Ji for a long time, just when he wanted to get up and say goodbye, suddenly a trace of a faint fragrance came, without any sound, and a white shadow fluttered in outside the door, which scared him out of goosebumps.

When I looked closely, it was Da Qiao who came. Qiao Guolao seemed to be accustomed to his daughter's appearance, but he was not surprised at all, and asked, "Wan'er, why did you come?" ”

After Da Qiao gave gifts to his father and Wang Baoyu respectively, he said dissatisfiedly: "Father, a good girl does not marry a second husband, if she marries Liu Bei, what face will she have under Jiuquan to see General Sun Ce in the future?" ”

"My daughter is so confused, marriage is a major human matter, General Sun Ce died early, you raise his children for him and take care of his younger brother, the Sun family doesn't know how much kindness they owe you. Today, you can marry the emperor's uncle again, and it is also a blessing for the family. Qiao Guo said.

"No matter how noble he is, his daughter just won't marry, and she is willing to always accompany her father and serve her left and right." Da Qiao wiped his tears and said.

"Wan'er should not be stubborn, this is also the intention of Zhongmou, and now that the imperial uncle has arrived in Jiangdong, how can he break the contract?" Qiao Guolao said stubbornly.

"Mention the conspiracy again! His brother, General Sun Ce, has a domineering temperament, and I am a wife, so I naturally have to endure obedience and rely on him in everything. It's just that Sun Quan was originally my uncle, and behind the general, he relied on me to contact the old ministers to stabilize his Jiangdong status, and now Zhongmou doesn't think about reciprocating, do I have to see his face again? Big Joe was much louder.

"Hugh is talking nonsense!" Qiao Guolao has always been proud of his daughter, but he doesn't want the most sensible eldest daughter to shout while guarding the guests, which makes him a little embarrassed.

"Why didn't Zhongmou marry his sister to Liu Bei, and he had to marry my sister-in-law? If General Sun Ce is alive, he will definitely be slapped in the face, and Zhong Mou's move is clearly bullying me as a widow! And ask the father to make the decision for his daughter! Da Qiao still cried non-stop, and he was not small.

Qiao Guolao didn't speak, Wang Baoyu also became dumb, both of them drooped their heads and thought about their hearts, only to hear Da Qiao cry for a long time and then there was no movement.

Wang Baoyu looked up and didn't know when Da Qiao floated out again. Hey, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, although Da Qiao has a noble status, he can't get around these.

Wang Baoyu got up to say goodbye to Qiao Guolao, and then rushed back to the post station, and it happened that Sun Quan took Lu Su and others to Liu Bei, saying that he wanted to ask Liu Bei to go to Nanxu County for a visit, enjoy the scenery together, and fulfill the friendship of the landlord.

Explain, there was no place name Nanxu during the Three Kingdoms period, and it is not clear what the name is, for the convenience of reading, it is called Nanxu first! Don't take it seriously, readers.

Liu Bei readily agreed, he also wanted to see the scenery of Jiangdong, after all, he had never been here before, so Wang Baoyu and Fan Jinqiang followed Liu Bei all the way to Nanxu City.

The traffic is inconvenient, the team is mighty, walked for two days, and then came to Nanxu City, along the way, Sun Quan and Liu Bei sat in the same car, a table to eat, and even a tent to sleep, with glue like paint to describe, it is not an exaggeration.

The geographical location of Nanxu City is very special, surrounded by mountains on three sides, facing the river on one side, it is the so-called embracing love, it looks like a treasure land of feng shui, Tai Shi Ci is buried on the Beigu Mountain in the north.

The officials in the city had already been waiting here, but Sun Quan only let the accompanying army enter the city to rest, and he continued to the north, taking Liu Bei with him, and went straight to the Ganlu Temple on Beigu Mountain.

"Lao Lu, why is it called Ganlu Temple?" Wang Baoyu inquired curiously.

Lu Su explained: "This temple was originally called the Ascetic Temple, the temple was short of water, the monks were difficult, and later a wandering monk threw a bead in the temple, and the ground gushed out spring water, which tasted as good as nectar, and was renamed Ganlu Temple." ”
