Chapter 59: Bad News at Home
"I'm sorry, I'm too excited for a while, and I hope the general won't be angry."
Qiao Jinyu lowered her head, her voice was delicate and glutinous, and she looked like she had done something wrong.
Zhao Kuo only felt that somewhere in his heart was as soft as a cloud, and even his voice unconsciously became soft.
"It doesn't matter."
At this time, the atmosphere was just right, and Zhao Kuo wanted to express his heart, but after opening his mouth a few times, he couldn't open his mouth, so he had to give up.
"These military books are boring and boring, and they are really not suitable for women to read." Zhao Kuo took the initiative to change the topic.
"If you want to read travelogues or miscellaneous books, I can ask Uncle Zhao to buy you a few copies back."
Qiao Jinyu raised her head, her eyes shining like jewels.
"Really?"
Stunned, Zhao Kuo nodded.
"Well, it's true, of course."
"That Jinyu thanked the general here first."
After making a blessing salute to Zhao Kuo, Qiao Jinyu left Zhao Kuo's courtyard on the grounds that he still had something to do.
Zhao Kuo looked at the bookshelf in front of him, then looked at the tea and snacks on the desk, smiled, and continued to read his military book after returning to the desk.
In winter, the weather is getting colder and colder day by day.
Qiao Jinyu didn't have any winter clothes, so she found a day to go to the street, planning to buy two winter clothes, and by the way, Qiao Dazhu, Du Shi and Qiao Huaian also bought a new set of clothes.
She went to the ready-to-wear store she had been to last time, and the owner of the ready-to-wear store saw her and immediately welcomed her warmly.
"It turns out that the girl is from the General's Mansion."
The proprietress shrewdly swept the Steward Zhao who was waiting outside the store.
"I said that the girl is good-looking, and she will never be an ordinary person, I really didn't look away."
Qiao Jinyu smiled, didn't say anything, chose and tried them on, and finally succeeded in choosing two sets of winter clothes for herself, and bought a jacket for Du Shi to wear on a cold day.
Because there were only women's clothes and no men's clothes in the store, she had to find another store that sold men's ready-to-wear to buy clothes for Qiao Dazhu and Qiao Huai'an.
The proprietress knew she was going to buy men's clothes and introduced her to a men's ready-to-wear store, just around the corner.
She thanked her, went out of the store, put her clothes in the wagon, and prepared to walk to the corner.
"Jinyu girl?"
She had just taken a few steps when she heard someone behind her calling her.
She stopped and turned away, only to be greeted by a completely unfamiliar face.
"Oops! It's really Jinyu's girl! ”
The man stared at her for a moment, then hurried towards her.
Steward Zhao looked at her face and knew that she didn't know who was coming, so he took two steps and stepped in front of her.
"Who? What's the matter with our girl? ”
The man was drunk by Steward Zhao, looked at her and then at Steward Zhao, and slapped his thigh.
"Jinyu girl, I'm Aunt Zhang, don't you recognize me?"
"My home is at the entrance of the village, and my son Tie Dan is two years older than your brother Huai'an!"
Qiao Jinyu blinked, and suddenly remembered her younger brother Huai'an, as if she did have a playmate named Tie Dan.
Aunt Zhang saw that she finally remembered herself, and hurriedly said: "Jinyu girl, go back to the village to see your father and your mother when you are free, since your father sent you away, Qiu Laosan's eight lambs take people to your house every day to find trouble." ”
"Just a few days ago, Qiu Laosan's subordinates injured your father, and your father is still lying in bed and can't get up."
"What did you say?" Qiao Jinyu was shocked, and the words almost came out.
Realizing that she was too excited, she hurriedly adjusted her emotions.
"Aunt Zhang, you said that Qiu Laosan led someone to hurt my father, when did this happen? How's my dad doing now? What did the doctor say? ”
