Chapter 61: Joan
Aunt Wang turned her head away and secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "If you are a conscientious person, you will study well, and you will learn to avenge your father and face our parents." ”
Joan's heart came up again: "What's wrong with my father?" It's not that you will be acquitted, I have seen with my own eyes the flying pigeon biography sent by the Governor of An to our county. ”
It was because he saw it in person that he was so relieved that he would take care of it as soon as he got home, and then ask about star fruit first.
Could it be that the situation has changed, or before the letter from the Governor of An arrived, Zhou County's order first disposed of Uncle Zhao and Daddy? No, it's a matter of human life, you have to hand over the excerpt to the Criminal Department first, and the execution can only be carried out after the approval of Jingzhong......
Qiao An looked at his mother in horror, but Aunt Wang turned her face away and refused to look at him: "Shi can be killed, but not humiliated, the things that the An family did were more despicable and disgusting than directly asking for your father's life." You can rest tonight, and I'll go back to the private school tomorrow. ”
With An Zhiyuan's second ancestor virtue, Qiao An also guessed that Daddy and Uncle Zhao would have to suffer in prison. As a bloody man, he also wants to learn something, and if he gets a chance in the future, he will also teach An Zhiyuan a lesson.
But before going to private school, he wanted to see star fruit. Even if he only glanced at her secretly, as long as he was sure that she was okay, he could come with confidence.
"Auntie, I've been on the road for five or six days, and I want to ...... first"
"When you get the top prize, there is a time for you to rest. Now, you don't have to think about anything, I will ask your second uncle to watch you closer, if you dare to come nonsense, you will not recognize me as a mother in the future. ”
Qiao An wanted to say something, but Qiao Xiu pulled his sleeve: "Brother, you can rest first, and then talk about something slowly." ”
Xia Na had already brought hot water, Qiao Xiu twisted the handkerchief and wiped Qiao An's face: "Wipe it clean first, go see Daddy and eldest brother, and I'll boil the water and ask you to take a bath when I go back." ”
It's useless to talk more, Qiao An doesn't want to make A-Niang uncomfortable at this time, so she obediently listened to Qiao Xiu's arrangement.
He went to see Daddy first, and although he had been recuperating for several days, the injuries all over his body were still shocking. Joan looked uncomfortable, and her heart was as distressed as if there were thousands of knives cutting it.
"Daddy......" he shouted, his eyes sore and swollen.
Seeing Qiao An coming back, Qiao Kangcheng was so excited that he wanted to sit up. Aunt Wang hurriedly pressed his shoulder and said angrily: "I have torn the wound, and I have to suffer another pain." ”
"I was so happy that I forgot that I had a wound on my body." Uncle Qiao's face smiled, he pulled Qiao An to his side, and looked him up and down carefully: "You can come and go safely with a fake road guide, my son is really smart." ”
He didn't find out where Joan had gone, and he wasn't interested in hearing what he had been through. He couldn't wait to tell him about his experience and humiliation, and then encouraged him to study hard.
"Son, the Qiao family is counting on you, don't you dare to mess around anymore!"
At the same time, Xia Na is taking good care of Qiao Ping.
Qiao Ping took a sip of the porridge that Xia Na fed over, and when he handed it over again, he shook his head: "The second brother is back?" How did he look, but he was wronged outside? ”
Xia Na told Qiao Ping about the previous incident, and when she talked about star fruit, she let out a long sigh: "I thought that after this incident, everyone should be able to see Miss Yang clearly, and A-Niang should allow her to pass the door." Who wants to ......"
She put the porridge bowl on the small table, and took a handkerchief to wipe the corners of Qiao Ping's mouth: "If it weren't for star fruit, I would have died a long time ago." If it weren't for the star fruit to save me this time, I wouldn't have survived when I came back from the Xia family. Xianggong, I owe two lives to star fruit. ”
Qiao Ping reached out and patted the back of Xia Na's hand, and then squeezed her hand in the palm of his hand: "She is good, we all know it in our hearts." If I hadn't experienced this, if it hadn't been for this blow, I wouldn't have understood it to this day. ”
"That, Joan and star fruit ......"
"Let's take a break, my father and mother are bright-eyed and can definitely figure it out. If there is a time when you really can't figure it out, aren't there still you and me? ”
It just so happened that Joan came to see him, and Xana packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went out.
Qiao An looked at Xia Na's ruddy face, and Qiao Ping's spirit was also good, so she couldn't help laughing: "You guys have a good life. ”
Qiao Ping was a little embarrassed, and glanced at him angrily: "You can still be poor, it seems that you don't suffer any guilt outside." ”
"It's going well!" Qiao An pursed her lips and smiled, and lifted the blanket to see Qiao Ping's injury: "Did you hurt your muscles and bones?" ”
In order to recuperate from his injuries, Qiao Ping didn't wear anything inside, so he hurriedly held down the blanket and didn't let Qiao An lift it: "Can't you sit down and talk for a while?" ”
Before Qiao An could laugh, Qiao Ping opened his mouth again: "Where have you been, and what's going on with the county office?" I let people go if it was good, and I didn't give an explanation. ”
When it was said that she was down to business, Joan sat down.
"I really went to the state capital. Uncle Zhao has a junior brother in Shuzhou City, so I went to the city to find him first. Qiao An didn't say that he used a fake road to lead the thrill of the state capital, and said lightly: "I originally wanted to make trouble in the state capital directly." Although Shuzhou is the prefect of An, there is still a general judge staring at him. As long as we make things bigger, someone will definitely take care of our family's affairs. ”
Although he saw Qiao An sitting in front of him, Qiao Ping's breathing was also tight, and his heart and liver were raised: "You dare to break into the prefect's yamen, you don't want to die?" ”
"Isn't that a failure?"
Qiao An omitted the hardships in the middle, and said with a light smile: "I was lucky, I got the news when I was about to make trouble." The Holy Lord sent the three princes and the servants of the ministry to inspect the southwest and assess the local officials along the way. ”
Xia Na came in after making tea, Qiao An took the teacup, took a sip and praised it twice before continuing the previous words: "An Zhiyuan is an old man from An Zhifu, and he has developed a lawless temperament since he was a child. It was because of the trouble in Shuzhou that people held on to their families that he hid in our Liang County. ”
"I found the families of the previous victims and contributed money and efforts to help them strengthen their strength. Uncle Zhou, who is Uncle Zhao's junior brother, has some connections in the state capital, and asked someone to secretly send a letter to An Zhifu, telling him that An Zhiyuan had caused trouble in Liang County, and he carefully explained the matter here.
At the same time, he also secretly handed over a report letter to the general judge, reporting An Zhiyuan's actions in Liang County. The matter is a little big, and seeing that the nobles in Beijing are coming again, the Governor of An has no choice but to spend a lot of money to settle the matter. On our side, we also personally wrote to Zhou County Order, asking him to release him quickly.
We netted the carrier pigeons that flew out of the prefect's mansion, and we saw the letter of release with our own eyes. ”
Jo Ann downplayed the matter very lightly, without mentioning the hardships and setbacks she encountered. Qiao Ping saw that he said easily, so he didn't think deeply, and only said: "Everyone is safe, and God has eyes." ”
Xia Na also laughed on the side: "It's just that I spent some silver in vain, but fortunately, the shop is saved, and the money spent will be earned back sooner or later." ”
Speaking of protecting the shop, Xia Na glanced at Qiao An deeply: "If it weren't for star fruit, our shop would have to be closed." When you come back this time, you have to thank people. If it weren't for the help of you, the girl's family would be crazy and desperate to throw herself into the fire pit? ”
Qiao Ping pulled Xia Na's sleeve, and turned his head to look at Qiao An's eyes seriously: "At that time, we forcibly broke into the court, and the county order beat the idea of taking our prestige. But halfway through the beating, the master didn't know what to say to the county order, so he suddenly kicked me and my aunt out. Only star fruit was taken to the back hall, and I don't know why. ”
Later, the county government released people, but they did not release star fruit. We chased after the dignitaries, and a maid said that Miss Zhou was talking to star fruit. Later, A-Niang went to ask star fruit, and star fruit only said that it was a joke for her daughter's family. But what can Miss Zhou joke with the country girl? ”
"I haven't heard of star fruit and the Zhou family knowing each other before, and if they really know, they won't be forced to break into the court. I always feel that there is something in the middle, you should keep an eye on it, don't let the star fruit suffer a big loss. ”
Joan thought about it before and after, and also felt that things were very strange. But if you want to say what's wrong, you can't say.
"I'll ask the star fruit, I can't have another accident."
Qiao Ping nodded: "Go ahead, I was pulled out of the quagmire by you, and I don't think you will follow my old path again." ”
"It should be able to stop for a while, if someone is coming to Beijing, An Zhifu himself has to live with his tail between his legs, let alone An Zhiyuan? This time, people from Beijing came, and it is said that corruption is still being investigated in secret, and it is difficult to say whether the An family can survive it. ”
Qiao Ping nodded, his expression relaxed: "That's good, this scourge, someone should clean it up." ”
The brothers talked a little more, and Jo Ann went back to her room.
Star fruit's injury has healed early, and she has been busy taking care of her master recently, and she has been helping to clean up the medicine garden when she has time.
Zhao Langzhong sat in a wheelchair basking in the sun under the eaves, looking at the star fruit who was busy in the medicine garden in a daze. After a long time, he asked her aloud: "Tao'er, are you rare the child of Qiao's family?" ”
Star fruit was watering the newly planted He Shou Wu, and was stunned when she heard the words, and then her pretty face turned red, pretending not to hear and continuing to work.
"That kid is good, but it's a pity that you don't have fate." Zhao Langzhong looked at the star fruit, and his eyebrows were more serious: "Let's not go to Qiao's pharmacy, okay?" Let's open a pharmacy by ourselves, you see a doctor, and I will take the medicine. Life is not enough. ”
Carambola was startled, and the water in the scoop spilled all over the ground: "Master didn't go to Qiao's pharmacy for a consultation?" ”
"If I don't go, I'm a person with a criminal record, and I still don't harm people everywhere. Even with you, I only grasp the medicine, do chores, and no longer take the pulse and prescribe prescriptions. ”
"What about Qiao's pharmacy? Aunt Wang is busy with medicine, and Uncle Qiao and Qiao Ping don't know how to see a doctor and prescribe. You're ...... gone."
"If you are willing to spend money, you can naturally find a good doctor." Zhao Langzhong interrupted the star fruit and said with a sincere face: "Don't go either, the girl's family, take care of your reputation." If you want to beg for food, it's the same if we open our own shop. ”
Star fruit remembered the night when An Zhiyuan was slighted again, she subconsciously touched the right side of her face, and the feeling of nausea and dirtiness came to her heart again.
She and Joan really have no fate!
Carambola nodded and agreed: "Okay, let's open a shop together." ”
When I went home that night, I met Joan, who had obviously been waiting for a long time, on the road, and the star fruit was in a complicated mood. It was here that An Zhiyuan blocked her way home......
