Chapter 6: Twin Brothers
The two brothers Qiao Jing and Qiao Li are still very favored in front of Mrs. Qiao, and the people of Nanqiguo are superstitious, because twins have always been rare, and they think that the sons of twins are auspicious signs. And the two of them are the eldest sons of the house, except for Brother Qi from the second room, they are the youngest.
Therefore, although Qiao Guogong asked them to stay at home as soon as they returned, the two of them still pitifully begged the old lady and ran out.
I also brought back a lot of delicious and fun things.
looked at the bright eyes of the young man in front of him and looked at her without blinking, and put all the things in his hand on the small table next to the couch.
"Qingbao, do you feel better? It's really lively outside! Arri and I went to see the lion dance... If you want to go out to play, I'll go and ask my dad to ......" Qiao Jing babbled and spoke, but was interrupted coldly by Qiao Li: "If Dad knows that you go out, he will discount your leg first." ”
Seeing the two of them playing tricks, Qiao Mei couldn't help but want to cry!
In her last life, because of her, her three elder brothers failed to die well, and even Brother Lin, who was born to her sister-in-law, did not live past the age of three and froze to death in the snow!
Qiao Mei clenched his fingertips, holding back tears.
Qiao Jing, who has always been very aggressive, didn't notice her sister's sadness, so she brought all the pastries and snacks on the table and wanted to stuff them into her sister's arms.
Qiao Li carried him out without a sound, his face cold.
Unable to hold back her tears, Qiao Mei only felt that her eyes were hazy, and she stumbled into Qiao Li's arms, buried in his not too wide chest, and cried.
It's her mistake!
It's that she can't know people!
The young man with a cold and handsome face was rarely at a loss, he was not very skillful and soothed his sister's back, Qiao Jing was also a little confused, and after reacting, he hurriedly teased Qiao Mei and smiled, even Qiao Yu didn't eat pastries, and looked at her anxiously.
However, several people only thought that Qiao Mei was sick and fragile, and they didn't have much guess about her sudden emotions.
And Qiao Mei was coaxed by her two brothers in the hazy eyes of tears, and she only felt that she had lived in vain in her previous life, and she actually cried again......
Because Qiao Mei's body is still weak, Mrs. Qiao specially let her rest in the courtyard tonight. In the middle of the night, the old lady couldn't stay up and went to sleep, and there were a few juniors in the house, especially Qiao Jing.
Winter passed quietly, and snow-white pear blossoms stood on the branches.
The two brothers, Qiao Jing and Qiao Li, returned to Renqitang, and Qiao Jing was teary-eyed when he left.
-
When Qiao Yu appeared in Qingping Courtyard wearing a soft smoke and eight Luo skirts, Qiao Mei was still a little startled, and couldn't help but look at the thin coat wrapped around his body.
Before Qiao Mei could sigh, Qiao Yu fluttered her wings like a smart butterfly and threw herself into her arms, raised her head with a smile, and whispered to her with a piece of peach cake in her mouth, "Fourth sister, have you heard?" The third sister's family affair is scheduled for July. ”
July?
Qiao raised his eyebrows, it was three months later than his previous life.
There was a noise at the gate of the courtyard, followed by Mama Lin, who commanded the maid holding the tray behind her to come in.
"Mama?" Qiao Mei called out to her with some curiosity.
Mama Lin smiled and pointed to those maids, "Girl, this is the cloth that Mrs. purchased from Sishu Fang, Madame asked you to pick and choose, and I will order you to buy dresses for you in the next few days." ”
Qiao Yu stared at the round eyes, not only surprised but also puzzled in his eyes, "Sishu Fang?" Doesn't it mean that only ten pieces of cloth are sold there every day? "The price of one horse is staggering.
Although Master Qiao San loves Qiao Yu, his official position in the court is not high, so Yu Lu can't be compared with Qiao Guogong, and it is rare to buy Qiao Yu like this kind of cloth once a year, and it is not possible to buy it as generously as Zhou's.
My aunt is really rich......
Although she could see through Qiao Yu's thoughts at a glance, Mama Lin only smiled and did not answer.
Qiao Mei was not curious, Zhou's mother was the richest man in Nanzhou, and there were several important officials in the imperial court.
What's more, this silk Shufang was one of her grandfather's properties in Kyoto, and later married the Zhou family, which no one except Jing Guogong knew. But now that Qiao Mei is alive again, he naturally knows about it.
Qiao Mei got up and asked Qiao Yu to pick a few horses with her.
After sending Qiao Yu away, Mama Lin said to her, "In a few days, it will be a hundred flowers banquet, and the palace will definitely give you a post, so Madame has been busy choosing clothes and jewelry for you these days!" ”
Qiao Mei has not entered the palace for a long time, she has been sick for more than half a year, and she can't help but think of what Zhou said to her before, "This Hundred Flowers Banquet is a ...... for His Royal Highness the Prince."
Thinking of this, Qiao Mei smiled at Mama Lin, revealing sweet dimples, "Then there will be Mama Lao, I'll go to my mother's place to have a look." ”
Qingping Courtyard is built by Jingguo Gong for the Zhou family, the main courtyard faces the lake on three sides, not only the scenery is very good, the climate is also particularly pleasant.
It's just that Qiao Mei was pushed down into the small pool by his cousin Zhou Yiyi when he was five years old. Afraid that Qiao Mei was afraid, the Zhou family moved out of the main courtyard and only lived in the secondary courtyard.
But in her previous life, she has always been respectful of the Zhou family.
Walking through the broad courtyard and stepping on the brown stone steps, Qiao Mei's footsteps paused slightly. The last time she came to see Zhou in her previous life was here, when she was wearing a phoenix crown and a gorgeous wedding dress, stopping and waiting here expectantly, but Zhou never came out of the house.
At that time, she only felt a little cold in her heart, but more shy, and yearning for the future days. I didn't even think about how sad and desperate her mother must have been, and how her daughter was married to an inhuman......
It's ridiculous that at that time, she still felt that the Zhou family didn't love her, and she didn't even show up for such a big thing as getting married.
Qiao Mei picked up her thoughts, quietly brushed the tears from the corners of her eyes, and saw the big girl Qingzhu beside Zhou.
Qingzhu still looked indifferent, she saluted Qiao Mei, and said, "Madame is waiting for the girl inside." ”
Qiao Mei nodded, looked at the first blooming spring in the courtyard again, and continued to walk forward.
Everything is the beginning, as it should be.
