Chapter 264: Meet
Tong Shuangxi knows her younger brother's talent, otherwise she would not attach so much importance to Tong Shuangshuang's studies, after all, the imperial examination in ancient times was even more cruel than in modern times, if Tong Shuangshuang really had no talent to go to school, Tong Shuangxi would have to find another way out for him.
"Qiao's school is not suitable for people like us, and I asked Qiao Juren to find another school for Xiaoshuang." Tong Shuangxi resolutely refused.
To tell the truth about the master of the Qiao family, Tong Shuangxi is not unimpressed, as long as he enters the Qiao family's family school, with Tong Shuangshuang's hard work and talent, he will definitely not be far behind, but Tong Shuangxi knows his younger brother's character, his birth and personality are not suitable, so she will not ask Tong Shuangshuang's own opinion like this, but directly refuse.
Qiao Xian saw that Tong Shuangxi's words were so resolute, and couldn't help frowning and glanced at Tong Shuangshuang, only to see that Tong Shuangshuang did not have a trace of pity on his face, thinking that the two sisters and brothers had made up their minds.
"That's it, even if it's not suitable, then I'll find a school for Xiaoshuang outside." Such a thing is reluctant, Qiao Xianzhi secretly felt sorry for Tong Shuangshuang in his heart.
Tong Shuangxi hurriedly pulled his younger brother to thank Qiao Ju.
"During the Chinese New Year, we all ate your family's food, and today I will invite you to eat my family's food." After talking about the school, Qiao Xian smiled and said to Tong Shuangxi and Tong Shuangshuang's sister and brother.
Tong Shuangxi saw that Tong Shuangshuang was about to refuse, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, we haven't eaten a big household yet!" ”
The words were purely joking, but they made the previous serious atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
"I'll go and give orders, you sit here for a while." Seeing that Tong Shuangxi responded, Qiao Xian said excitedly.
After Qiao Juren walked out of the courtyard, Tong Shuangshuang asked his sister with a puzzled face: "Before I came over, my sister obviously told me that she wouldn't stay in Qiao's Mansion for dinner, but why did she change her mind at this time." ”
Listening to Tong Shuangshuang's words, Tong Shuangxi hurriedly said: "After all, we have a request for others, we have rejected Qiao Juren's kindness before, if we refuse continuously, I am afraid that Qiao Juren will be unhappy, although Qiao Juren will not annoy us because of a meal, but we also have to take care of Qiao Juren's intentions, Qiao Juren helps our sister and brother like this, we have to receive this favor." ”
Although Tong Shuangxi knew in his heart that Qiao Juren regarded his sister and brother as a vulnerable group, so he helped them like this, but this is also a fact, for people like them, appropriate weakness does not mean spineless, and Qiao Juren left their sister and brother down to eat.
Now that the three of them have arrived in the capital, they can no longer behave like in Liuli Village, the capital is not easy, if you want to survive well, you have to know more human feelings, so Tong Shuangxi will take the opportunity to teach his younger brother to say.
Listening to Tong Shuangxi's words, Tong Shuangshuang nodded as if he didn't understand.
"I understand, in fact, I like Qiao Juren, especially his knowledge, I admire him very much, sister, don't worry, I will definitely study hard, and I will also give you a test in the future, and no one will dare to underestimate our mother-in-law and grandson at that time." Tong Shuangshuang still minds the porter's attitude towards his sister and brother in the bottom of his heart.
Tong Shuangxi understood in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "What do you mean by giving me a lifter, it's like if you take the test, I can be an official!" ”
After speaking, Tong Shuangxi couldn't help patting Tong Shuangshuang's head, and then looked at him with a smile.
Tong Shuangshuang said seriously: "Mine is my sister's!" ”
Seeing his younger brother so persistent, Tong Shuangxi couldn't help but be a little moved: "Okay! Good! Good! The sister waited for Xiaoshuang to be the champion, and then the sister and aunt followed Xiaoshuang to eat and drink spicy food! ”
"Eat and drink spicy, what spicy, Xiaoxi, do you mean that you like to eat spicy? I'm going to tell the kitchen to cook a few spicy dishes......"
As soon as Qiao Xian entered the courtyard, he heard Tong Shuangxi and Tong Shuangshuang's sister and brother talking about whether it was spicy or not, and hurriedly walked into the house to say.
Tong Shuangxi and Tong Shuangshuang couldn't help laughing when they heard Qiao Juren's words, but they made Qiao Juren laugh a little inexplicably.
It's just that before the meal was served, the old lady of the Qiao family asked the maids around her to come over.
"When the old lady heard that there were guests at home, she asked me to come over and have a look, saying that she asked the third young master to bring the guests to her courtyard for dinner." As she spoke, the little maid looked curiously at the two sisters and brothers on the side.
Hearing the maid's words, Qiao Xian looked at Tong Shuangxi and Tong Shuangshuang sisters and brothers with some embarrassment.
Knowing that Tong Shuangxi and Tong Shuangshuang's sister and brother are from a mountain village, and their sisters and brothers are used to being free on weekdays, Qiao Xian deliberately sent out all the maids and daughters-in-law in his yard, but he didn't expect to be discovered by his grandmother.
"Our sister and brother are going to visit the old lady, and they are bothering the young lady to take us there." At this time, looking at Qiao Juren's expression, Tong Shuangxi still didn't understand.
Qiao Juren thinks about their sister and brother like this, and their sister and brother can't make Qiao Juren embarrassed.
The maid didn't expect that these two sisters and brothers from the countryside were also clever people, so she couldn't help but smile and nodded, and then said: "Our old lady said that the third prince has been stirring up trouble in your mansion for so long, and she should thank her in person." ”
Hearing the maid's words, Tong Shuangxi hurriedly saluted the maid, and then said, "Thank you sister for mentioning something!" ”
The maid felt that the little girl in front of her was a wonderful person.
Qiao Xian, who was walking behind a few people, was a little worried, his grandmother had always been strict with outsiders, he was really afraid......
After the weeping flower gate is the courtyard of Mrs. Qiao, Qiao Xian first saluted his grandmother, and then introduced Tong Shuangxi and Tong Shuangshuang sisters and brothers just like his own group mother.
"When my grandson was away, thanks to the care of Xiaoxi and Xiaoshuang's family, the dried meat slices brought back by my grandson last time were also made by Xiaoxi." Qiao Xian said to his grandmother with some eagerness.
Old Madam Qiao glanced at Qiao Xian, then at the two sisters and brothers, and then her eyes stopped at the sister who was standing not far from her with her head down.
Tong Shuangxi and Tong Shuangshuang both lowered their heads, not daring to look at Mrs. Qiao, but Tong Shuangxi could feel the gaze that stayed on him.
"It was Qiao Juren who lifted our family, and this time Qiao Juren was able to come to our house as a guest, which was to fulfill our wishes!" Tong Shuangxi replied without humility or arrogance.
"Oh? What mind? Old Madam Qiao asked with great interest.
"At the beginning, because of the help of Qiao Juren, my family and I were able to get out of danger, so our family has always wanted to repay this great kindness, and it happened that I met Qiao Juren in the county again, so I invited Qiao Juren to my home as a guest."
