Chapter 1 On the Road

In the past three years, the changes in the Qiao family have not been very obvious, but they are still dominant compared to the rest of the Qiao family village.

In the past three years, the people of Qiaojia Village have been recruited by Qiao Xi one after another, and this life has become really better.

Many families in the village slowly built new houses, a change that was the envy of people in other villages.

Since Qiaojia Village has a case, this status is also rising in a straight line, and the village chiefs who used to look down on those villages looked down on the village chiefs of Qiaojia Village very much, and now they are absolutely successful in counterattacking.

This year, Qiao Xi is twelve years old, and this year their family will usher in two good things, one is that Qiao Bai is going to test the water for the child, which is a year later than his eldest brother, but compared with the same age, it is much higher, not everyone is qualified to test the water at a young age, and it also needs the recommendation of the master.

Another happy event is that her eldest brother is going to participate in this year's township examination, and the location of the township examination is in Tanzhou, the jurisdiction of Liaoyun Mansion, but fortunately, the eldest brother's township examination time is in August, and the younger brother will rush to Tanzhou after the end of the year, leaving the eldest brother with not a lot of time to familiarize himself with the environment and review before the exam.

Tanzhou is farther away than Liaoyun Mansion, and the carriage to Liaoyun Mansion can still come in handy, but the carriage to Tanzhou is a bit choking, so they can only choose the waterway, all the way to the south, even if it takes a month to take a boat at the earliest.

There were many happy events, and the entire Qiao family was immersed in laughter.

Qiao Bai went out to test the water, and the whole family still went out together, except for Furong to catch the car, the rest of the people didn't bring any of them.

However, the shadows still followed two people to protect, and in three years, the Qiao family was also well-known in Tanzhou's generation.

In the past two years, there have also been people who have relied on their own net worth background and want to use despicable means to make Qiao Xi restrained, but in the end, it was themselves who were unlucky.

If it happens once or twice, others don't pay much attention to it, and if it happens too many times, it will cause reflection, and the more you think about it, the more you feel that it is evil, and after a long time, those people will not dare to take action again.

Every time they acted, the Qiao family's business did not suffer any blow, their business was unconsciously robbed of a lot, and some shops changed hands directly, but the person behind it was forever lost, with this cognition, how could they dare to go against the Qiao family, and honestly not move those careful thoughts.

Qiao Bai's mentality was relatively correct, and the two people in the family said a lot of things to him, in short, to let him not be nervous.

In fact, he is not nervous at all, he did not do well in the exam this time, and there will be next time, anyway, he is still young now, my sister said, young is capital, and now he can squander it.

The children's test is not as strict as the government test and the township test, and the children's test is to explore the bottom, which is relatively easy.

But this is only for the first time children's examination, the children's examination is divided into five times, each time the difficulty is different, each time is more difficult than the other, only five times all successfully passed, only qualified to participate in the government examination, strive for the name of the show.

But there are not many people who can be admitted to Xiucai.

The results of the children's test Qiao Xi They can't wait, they hurriedly set off to Tanzhou, Qiao Song's township test is the highlight of the Qiao family this year, in it, that is to lift people, lift people to enjoy more treatment than the show, show talent is difficult to test, but every year there can be hundreds of people in each place, but there are only a few people, how to tell the difficulty.

In addition to accompanying his eldest brother to participate in the township test here when she went to Tanzhou this time, she also wanted to open an embroidery pile Linglong workshop in Tanzhou.

Now the Linglong Fang business she opened in Liaoyun Mansion is full every day, who makes the clothes in her shop novel and unique.

The clothes she designed not only retain the style of Daqian's clothing, but also add many modern elements of the Celestial Empire, the combination of the two phases, which makes people shine, especially her daughter's family, who absolutely loves beautiful things.

Daughters' families like to compare, whether it is a peasant girl or a noble lady, comparison is an indispensable part of their life, and it is not an exaggeration to compete for beauty.

Especially those who are high and high, they don't like to be the same as other people's clothes, and if they can win over the people they hate, they can enjoy it for ten days and a half months.

Without the appearance of Linglong Pavilion, everyone is surprisingly successful in the embroidery on the clothes, the style has basically not changed much, like the rich merchants, there will be their own embroidery girls, who are responsible for clothes.

Since the appearance of Linglong Pavilion, some embroidery girls raised in the house have no work, and many of them have been sold by the main family, or they have directly terminated the employment relationship.

At one time, many embroidery girls lost their jobs, but they were also provided with jobs, which can be regarded as a slap to a sweet date.

"Brother He, have you packed it up?" Qiao Xi walked to the door of the eldest brother's room, and He Youjun happened to come out of it.

"The girls are all packed." He Youjun hugged Qiao Xi with a fist.

"It's hard work, go down and rest, we're going to leave tomorrow."

The departure date was set for June 15, and the road to the provincial capital was much farther and more difficult than going to Liaoyunfu.

Most of the journey will be spent on a boat. I don't know if the eldest brother and the younger brother can adapt to the life on the ship, whether they will be seasick, if they are seasick, this day will be even more sad, and it will be a great torture for the body.

"It's a girl." After three years, He Youyoujun has truly integrated into the Qiao family and regarded this place as his home, but he has not forgotten that he still has important things to do.

He is still young and can afford to wait, but that person is different, he is slowly getting old, and he has to bear the sins he has done, waiting, one day he will return there, and when the time comes, it will be the time for them to pay the price.

This time I went back just to see what kind of situation the huge He family is like now, I don't know if there is another dispute, fighting for red faces, red ears and red ears, fighting for head and blood......

Looking at the moon in the sky, He Youjun remembered the past, he didn't like him, he could kick him out, he didn't mind, he didn't have much sense of belonging to the He family, if it weren't for half of the He family's fortune relying on his mother, he didn't want to go back at all.

"Sister." Qiao Bai has grown up a lot, and his height is also very fast, and now he is nine years old and is already one meter five, almost surpassing Qiao Xi.

In the past three years, Qiao Xi's height has also changed dramatically, and now he is 1.6 meters tall.

"Why haven't you gone to sleep yet, where have you been?" Qiao Xi is just like when she was a child, and her hands still like to rub the top of Qiao Bai's hair.

For this matter, Qiao Bai talked to her for a long time, but she never took it to heart, nor did she change this habit, and since then, Qiao Bai has not bothered to say it, and let her go.

"I didn't go anywhere, I just came back from the field with my eldest brother, and we picked several big watermelons and prepared to take them to eat on the road." The weather is already starting to get hot, and watermelon is a great thing to relieve the heat, and he especially likes watermelon, if he doesn't take some, he will miss it.

"I really don't change my foodie side." I have grown in all aspects, and I have also intensified in terms of eating.

"Who made my sister's grows so delicious whether it's fruit or anything else, of course I can't control it." Qiao Bai looked at Qiao Xi with an expression that couldn't blame me.

"It's going to be poor. Alright, hurry up and get some rest, tomorrow we're going to go. ”

"Yes." After saying that, he ran away with a smoke.

After a long six-day drive, they finally arrived at the pier.

The coastal port is very lively, the boats come and go here, you can still hear the shouts of the boatmen every morning, and you can eat the freshest seafood here, and there are many fishermen who will go to the distant sea to bring these seafood back, and sell them here, and the income is still quite good.

When he came to the port, Qiao Xi first sent someone to ask when there was a ship going to Tanzhou, and then found an inn to rest temporarily.

Soon the inquiring person came back, there was no boat to Tanzhou for these two days, and there was no boat to go there in three days, if you decided to take this boat, you had to go to the dock to register, and book the room, otherwise you would have to crowd the hall with other people.

Qiao Xi listened to Furong's words, and immediately took the silver to Furong, and according to the number of people, she set five rooms, she was alone, Furong and Rose were one, the eldest brother and the younger brother were one, He Youjun and Ah Ming were one, and the two people who followed and protected this time Qiao Wu and Qiao Liu.

I didn't expect that there is such a thing as booking first, it seems that human wisdom is really infinite.

Fleur quickly went back and quickly implemented the matter, paid the money and got the key to the room on the ship, and when the time came, you can board the ship directly, and when you board the ship, someone will tell how many people and how much luggage according to the key.

Once the boat is done, they can play here in peace for the next two days.

Two days passed quickly, and after packing up their salutes, they boarded the big boat, and when it was full, the boat moved slowly.

Everyone came to the deck with curiosity, and watched as the big ship left the shore little by little, and sailed into the distance, and it was not long before the harbor disappeared from their sight, and the next thing they saw was a vast sea.

There were a lot of people gathered on the deck, Qiao Song and Qiao Bai were very excited, they were so old and saw the sea for the first time, if they didn't go to Tanzhou this time, they probably wouldn't have seen it.

They looked at the scenery on the sea, and they didn't think that they had also become beautiful scenery in the eyes of others.

Probably because the girl's gaze was too hot, Qiao Xi followed the blazing heat, and saw a young woman staring at her eldest brother without blinking, without a woman's reserve at all.

Of course, she knows her eldest brother's appearance, and he is the number one beautiful man in the queue there, and it is normal to be able to attract the attention of others.

Qiao Xi gently pushed Qiao Song's arm, Qiao Song looked at his sister for some reason, and asked silently, "What's wrong?" ’

"I'm back."

The girl saw Qiao Xi's actions and walked in their direction step by step.

"Oh." The excitement is still fading, looking at the endless sea at the moment, he is not much interested, and the little sister said to go back.

"Wait a minute." Qiao Song and Qiao Xi had just taken a step, and the woman who was walking towards them saw that they were leaving, and immediately spoke up.

Qiao Song glanced at his little sister, and finally reacted after realizing it, pulling his younger brother to speed up his pace, "Little sister, I'll go first, you hurry up." "No matter how you go, you can run into," Qiao Song thought angrily.

"Wait." The girl directly crossed Qiao Xi and came to Qiao Song, and when she looked at Qiao Song at such a close distance, this girl's eyes became even more obsessed.

"You're so good-looking, how about being my husband?" The girl looked at Qiao Song fixedly for a while, her eyes lit up a little scary.

Qiao Xi was speechless for a while, "......" When did the girl here have such courage? Even if you really like it, you will only be shy in your heart, who would say it so boldly and directly? What about reserved? Are you going to feed the dogs?

Qiao Xi turned her gaze to the woman's body, this time she found that the woman's eyebrows had a heroic spirit, the bridge of the nose was very high, the color of the eyes was amber, a little exotic, and the dress was also very different from the usual girl, the woman did not wear a skirt, but a neat corset.

Qiao Song seemed to be hiding from the plague, he couldn't even take care of his younger brother, and he didn't stop when he heard the woman's words, he bypassed her directly, and didn't even leave a word.

The woman still wanted to chase, but Qiao Xi stretched out her hand to block it, "Girl, my brother has no plans to marry a wife for the time being, please go back." Otherwise, it will be a hindrance to your reputation. Qiao Xi looked at the woman with an expression that I was also for your good.

"What reputation is not famous, that is something that you big women will care about, there is no difference between girls and men on our grassland, we have to fight for anything we like, go and grab it. You are his sister, when I marry your brother, you will be my sister, you go back to the grassland with me, we have the most horsey horses on the grassland, and the eagle soaring high in the sky, without any restraints, how to be comfortable and how to come. ”

"Girl, I have already said that my brother will not consider marriage matters for the time being, please leave, don't entangle." She likes her ease and ease, but it doesn't mean that she has to accept this girl's nonsense.

The eldest brother's marriage is a big deal, and when he takes a fancy to a girl one day, he will definitely do everything he can to marry someone into the door, and he doesn't need to be urged by others at all.

"I ......"

"Miss!" As soon as the woman said a word, four men suddenly appeared on the deck, each of them was very strong, and he could feel a strong muscular breath through his clothes.

"Keqin, you came just in time, I have a crush on a man, and I want to snatch him back as my husband, you hurry up and get the man back for me." As soon as the woman saw her own people coming, she commanded directly.

"Miss, this is the territory of Daqian, we have to abide by the rules of Daqian, go back with me." One of the four people walked out and said to the woman, presumably this is the Keqin in the woman's mouth, the leader of the four.

"Don't, if you don't snatch someone for me today, I won't come back." The woman said angrily.

"Miss......" Keqin knows the temperament of her young lady, if she doesn't do it, don't think about stopping this way, she just got on the boat, and she doesn't know how long she will drift at sea, in order to appease her, Keqin can only compromise. Miss waited. ”

He glanced at the other three, and the three of them understood and prepared to arrest someone.

People, how could they be caught so easily, Qiao Xi was the first to refuse.

One dodged to block the way of the four of them, "It's really an eye-opener, it's the first time this girl has grown up and met such a shameless person, since that's the case, then don't blame me for being unkind." ”

The woman didn't expect Qiao Xi to have this hand, and looked at her in surprise, "Don't you say that the women in the Central Plains are made of water, delicate and delicate, and can be crushed with one finger, but I didn't expect you to be a hidden master." Keqin, you stand aside, girl, come, let's learn from each other, if I win against you, how about letting your brother marry me? ”

"And what if I win you?" Qiao Xi asked rhetorically.

"Win me, impossible." The woman frowned, and then said with great certainty.

"There are no absolutes in everything, who can guarantee it. Say, what if I win? ”

The woman thought for a while, and when her eyes touched the four of Keqin, her eyes lit up, "If you win me, I will give you one of my four retinues." ”

"No, change it." Follower, what is she going to do, she is not without one in her hands.

"And what do you want?"

"It's very simple, I won you, please don't pester my brother." Qiao Xi's request is not difficult.

"Okay." The woman was very confident in her own ability and responded without hesitation.

Before the woman's good words were completely falling, Qiao Xi made a move, stepped forward, held the woman's wrist with one hand, buckled the acupuncture points on the wrist, and kicked her knee directly with the other foot.

The woman didn't notice for a while, she lost the opportunity, and after being caught, it was difficult to move a bit, and her legs kicked back, so that she could avoid Qiao Xi's kick.

Qiao Xi hooked her lips and smiled, increased the strength of her hand, and pressed her acupuncture point, and the woman's scream suddenly sounded, "Ah...... It hurts, it hurts...... Send it away, let go of the ......" The pain was so unbearable that the woman knelt directly on the ground, and there was a fine and dense cold sweat flowing from her forehead.

The four entourages stepped forward to help, but were stopped by Qiao Xi's cold eyes, "This is Daqian, since you are here, you should be self-aware, and you must abide by the rules here, maybe this kind of thing is very common in your place, but this is Daqian, not a place where you can do whatever you want." Qiao Xi's subordinates exerted force again, and the woman couldn't bear the pain, so she fainted directly from the pain and lay straight down on the ground.

"Miss." The faces of the four entourages changed, and they came to the woman's side anxiously, and when they picked up the woman, they didn't forget to glance at Qiao Xi with vicious eyes, and even left cruel words, "If my young lady has three long and two short, I must ask you." ”

"Take the sins you have done by yourself, she will not be entangled, why is it today's matter, it is still you who are strange, take a good look at your young lady, if you come to pester my brother again, then let her sleep until she gets off the boat." Qiao Xi's words are not alarmist, her new research is called Sleeping Beauty.
