Joan was imprisoned in the ancestral hall again, and he didn't even have time to eat dinner.

Aunt Wang knelt in front of Qiao Kangcheng and cried: "What is this for, what is it doing?" My son came back from the pickled place so easily, and you let him catch his breath. ”

Qiao Ping and Xia Na took Qiao Xiu and Qiao Xiu to kneel on the ground, kowtowing together and begging: "Dad, you let the second brother (brother) come out first." He just suffered in prison, and his body would not be able to bear it. ”

"Shut up!" Qiao Kangcheng vigorously lifted the table in front of him, and more than a dozen dishes carefully prepared by Aunt Wang were scattered on the ground.

"I warn you, no one is allowed to see him, no one is allowed to let him out." His eagle-like eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and the threat was particularly obvious: "Whoever dares to disobey, get out of this house for me." I, Qiao Kangcheng, don't have such a wife, children, or children. ”

"Why is that?" Aunt Wang cried out: "My son has been wronged outside, and he has earned a reputation and future for our family, what do you do to treat your son like this?" If you refuse to let star fruit in the door, just say no. ”

Qiao Kangcheng slapped the table with a 'snap', got up angrily and left.

He actually didn't want to punish his son like this, but if he didn't, how would he discipline this son in the future? The last time he was a godfather in Zhou County, how ugly did Qiao An give him? If he hadn't been clever and ran out of the chaos, who knows how Zhou Xianling would clean him up?

broke into a big disaster, saying that if he ran away from home, he ran away from home, and he still has this family and his father in his eyes?

I see, except for the fox named star fruit, he can't see anyone in his eyes.

This is still eating Qiao's food, and by the grace of my Qiao Kangcheng, I dare to be disobedient and unfilial; If he really takes the fame test and becomes a big official in the future, can he, the father, still have a little status?

Qiao Kangcheng returned to the bedroom, sat on the edge of the bed and smoked a dry cigarette: "Qiao An, you can come nonsense, you can't, you definitely can't." ”

He took out the silver ticket of 'three hundred taels' of silver from his arms, and tears flowed down his face as he touched it.

"My Qiao someone's dignity, Qiao someone's face is worth these three hundred taels of silver? Just three hundred taels of silver? He thought about the days when he was beaten in prison, and the braised pork that he had snatched from the dog's mouth, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

"It will be a stain on my life, a shame for my life. Only when I have a status that is difficult for others to reach, and I have the right that others dare not despise, no one dares to mention this past. I, Qiao Kangcheng, can forget the days of grabbing food with dogs, straighten my spine, and live an upright life. ”

Obviously, he is middle-aged, and it is impossible for him to gain fame in this life, and it is impossible for him to ascend to the court and tilt his power towards the government and the opposition in this life.

But JoAnn has a chance! Qiao An, who has already received a letter of recommendation from the third prince, has a great chance!

Therefore, he must tame him and let him follow his vision in the future.

And star fruit is the one who can sway Joan's thoughts, and the one who has the potential to hinder his plans. So, no, absolutely not!

Qiao Kangcheng smoked a bag of smouldering cigarettes, then knocked the cigarette gun on the corner of the table, got up and walked out.

He went to the ancestral hall and took with him all the books he felt needed to test his fame. The first thing he said when he saw Joan said, "Don't you just want to marry star fruit, you can!" ”

Qiao An reverently knelt in front of the ancestral tablet, and did not turn her head back: "What conditions?" ”

Qiao Kangcheng put a large stack of books in front of Qiao An: "You don't need to take the test for Xiucai, I will donate it to you with money." When the children's examination is over next year, you will pack up your things and go to study in Guozijian. ”

Joan still didn't look up, and she didn't talk. He knew his father, and that was definitely not the point of his words.

"When you have to be promoted, when you are a father, you will invite someone to go to the Yang family to propose marriage. You see, don't you think? ”

In this world, there are countless people who can't even get a show talent after reading a book for a lifetime, let alone lifting people?

"What about marriage, when?"

"The official is the fourth grade!"

Jo Ann finally turned his head and looked seriously at his father, who had once hoped for a son to become a Chan but was never ambitious. Looking at it, I couldn't help but feel sad.

"I'm all for your good!" Perhaps because of Qiao An's uncomfortable staring, Qiao Kangcheng coughed dryly, and then his tone became more and more majestic and stern: "It's good to read in front of your ancestors, don't go to the Guozijian to embarrass my Qiao family." ”

Throwing down this sentence, Qiao Kangcheng left.

When the door slammed shut, Qiao Kangcheng paused. He looked back at the dim glow peeking through the window, and went back to unlock the door.

Joan knelt on the futon, he looked at the book sent by Daddy, and his thin lips slowly outlined a bitter smile.

"Actually, the path I want to take does not conflict with your wishes, so why do you force me in such a way? Could it be that in your heart, I can't rely on my own ability to take the road of fame? Could it be that I have no way out except to climb to power and become noble, except to marry a rich wife? ”

"It's not that you don't look down on star fruit at all, what you don't look down on is the identity of the daughter of the star fruit tenant family. What scares me is my true affection for her. Because your purpose is not for my good, and what you want me to do is not to help the world. All you want is power, but wealth, but face. ”

"Dad, you have become like this, my son is distressed!"

That night, Joan knelt reverently on the ancestral tablet all night.

At dawn, he kowtowed to his ancestors in a dignified manner: "Qiao An is not filial, and he wants to be a disobedient descendant." ”

Getting up from the futon, Qiao An took out the letter of recommendation from the third prince from his bosom, and burned it to ashes by the light of the oil lamp......

In stark contrast to the bleak and bleak Qiao family, the Yang family was busy killing chickens and fish.

Carambola They came too late yesterday, and the family did not prepare, so they only prepared a surprise banquet for star fruit today.

The eldest aunt took the initiative to let the eldest uncle kill two fat chickens: "Pick up the fattest one and kill it, we have to make up for the peach." It's only been a long time since I've been away from home, and I'm so thin that I'm about to lose my face, and I'm distressed when I look at it. ”

Hearing this, the eldest uncle smiled happily: "Cheng, after killing the chicken, I'll go to the mountain to pick up some mushrooms." Peaches love that! ”

As soon as she got up, she heard the conversation in the courtyard, and looked at her mother with some suspicion: "Why is it suddenly so generous, it looks strange and frightening." ”

Ye Shi nodded at the star fruit in anger, rolled his eyes and smiled: "People can't be good to you?" I don't know what to do. ”

"I just think the contrast is too great." Carambola stuck out her tongue coquettishly, scooped up the water and washed her face seriously: "I'll go over to help in a while, thank you auntie." ”

At this time, there was also movement on the second aunt's side. Through the wall, I heard the second uncle instruct the second uncle: "You will go to the shop in the city to buy some codonopsis, gastrodia, etc. and come back later." I heard my sister-in-law kill chickens in the yard, and buying some good medicine to stew in it is really to replenish the body. ”

"Dang Shen Tianma?" The second uncle was obviously frightened, his voice was raised and he didn't say anything, and his tone was full of disbelief: "People like us, where can we eat that?" If you have any discomfort, I'll go find Tao'er to show you, the right medicine is better than that. ”

"I bought it for Peach. The little girl's family, I don't know how much suffering she has suffered outside, you see that she is so thin, how can she make up for it? ”

"Then you don't have to ......"

"Not for what? Am I still not as good as that sister-in-law who is hypocritical? Anyway, Tao'er and Sanfang are also kind to me, otherwise, I don't know what the trouble would have become. ”

The second uncle stopped for a while, and then made a ruthless decision: "That's it, I'll buy it in a while." are all uncles, aren't we as distressed as our eldest brother? ”

Carambola washed her face silently, and she couldn't tell what it was like.

Being distressed is naturally a very warm and happy thing, but excessive spending will always make people feel uneasy.

The Yang family is a broken household, and the wish of one person and one bedroom has not yet been realized, where is the spare money for a meal and two chickens, where is the spare money and the codonopsis and gastrodia?

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, I'm really afraid that there is something hidden in the middle.

Ye Shi also frowned when he heard this: "I have thought about a new pair of shoes and thought about it, what happened to your second aunt today?" ”

Carambola wiped her face with a handkerchief, turned back to A-Niang and smiled helplessly: "Who knows, just wait and see." However, I don't think the meal at noon today is probably not very tasty. ”

"I'll go and talk to your second uncle, how easy it is to earn this silver......" Yang Laosan was drinking water, and when he heard this, he put down the tea bowl and walked out, and the star fruit hurriedly grabbed him.

"The second aunt and the second uncle are talking privately in the room, how can they interject?"

Ye also advised: "Originally, the wall was thin, but if you look for it like this, people still think that we deliberately listen to the foot of the wall." Left and right is for the good of our daughters, let them break the bank. After this while, let's think of subsidizing the expenses to them. ”

Yang Laosan looked the star fruit up and down, but he still didn't insist on going out: "It's time to make up for it, looking at you like you've been hungry for a long time and haven't eaten." ”

It's just that I haven't eaten for a long time, and I was picked up like that by Zhou Zhifu, and I didn't eat anymore, it was definitely psychologically strong.

In that past, star fruit would never talk about it to her parents, she smiled shyly, and then threw a thunderbolt on her father: "Mother, don't go to Wang Matchmaker for my business, I will not marry anyone in this life except Qiao An." ”

Ye and Yang Laosan were stunned for a moment, they glanced at each other and looked at the star fruit at the same time: "What did you say?" ”

"I heard what you said last night." Yang Cui happened to bring breakfast over, and star fruit went over to help pick up the dishes and chopsticks, and while serving rice for her father, she said seriously: "I know that you are all for my good, but no, no one but him." ”

Yang Laosan immediately made a tiger face: "Do you know what you're talking about?" Your daughter's family, do you still know shame? ”

Ye's face was also a little ugly: "You girl, you want to make us angry when you go home, right?" Haven't you seen clearly who the Qiao family is? You were so heartfelt last time, and you said so clearly for your mother and Aunt Wang. What is it in exchange, it is Shana who came to worship her godmother, what does this mean, don't you understand? ”

Yang Cui, who was setting up the dishes and chopsticks, also frowned, looking like she wanted to break her head open to see what she was thinking.

Just looking at the reaction of the family, star fruit also knew that the road ahead would not be easy.

However, the people and paths you have chosen, how can you dare to give up easily until you are crushed?
