Maybe she happened to be the type that her brother liked, or maybe her brother finally opened his mind and wanted to start a family, so he boldly went to Jiangxia Xu's Mansion to ask for marriage.

What kind of person is the shopkeeper Xu, that is a good person, and his eyes are accurate and vicious - although the kid in front of him is really poor, but he is quite confident, and he dares to come to the door to propose marriage with nothing, so that he can also stand straight, have a good demeanor, and be neither humble nor arrogant in his speech. Coupled with the previous investigation of him, this person's medical skills, character, and talents are all of the same quality.

He was very, very satisfied, and immediately agreed to the affair.

So, my brother married Xu Yao and entered the Xu family in Jiangxia. Qiao Wan didn't come with her, she lived in a small courtyard that her brother had built next to the He family before, in addition to not wanting her brother to be more difficult to be, but also because she had a good relationship with the He family, they took good care of her and Xiangmo, and having such a good neighbor could really help a lot.

Especially He Ziyi, who has been really good to her and Xiangmo for so many years. Even if Qiao Wan told him more than once that he didn't like him, he just treated him as a friend. He smiled and said he knew, "I like you, it's my own business." ”

Everyone has already made it very clear, Qiao Guan thinks that he has a clear conscience, and he can't control others.

When he was three or four years old, Xiangmo began to question: "Why do other children have fathers, but I don't." ”

She told her that her father had left their mother and daughter very early.

Xiangmo blinked his ignorant eyes again, and then asked, "Is Daddy's surname Zhou?" What's Daddy's name? ”

Other children all follow their father's surname, her name is Zhou Xiangmo, and her father's surname must be Zhou.

Qiao Wan bowed his head and was silent.

Jiangdong Zhou Yu is famous all over the world, how many people in the world don't know this name? And now, she is just an ordinary rural village woman, with coarse tea and vegetarian rice, and a jinghai cloth skirt.

The delicate and soft hands of the past have long been rough because of farm work, and even this face, which is favored by God, is now inevitably stained with the traces of time, and the corners of the eyes have fine lines. He and her, now a cloud admired by thousands of people in the sky, and a mud that can be trampled on by people underground, no, from the beginning, they are the difference between clouds and mud.

Xiang Mo saw that his mother was secretly sad, so he stopped asking. So she knew at a very young age that her father was a topic that was kept secret, and she easily stopped mentioning it.

But Qiao Wan always knew that Xiangmo wanted a father very much.

Many times, she also wants to convince herself to accept He Ziyi, not because she likes it, but because it is suitable. He Ziyi is knowledgeable and reasonable, a talent, and is very good to their mother and daughter, and most importantly, this can give Xiangmo a complete home.

But after working hard for a long time, if you don't feel it, you don't feel it, if you agree to him, you are not responsible for yourself and He Ziyi, and it will only bring pain to more people.

So, she chose to follow her heart, and took Xiangmo to live in this small courtyard in the mountains, although she lived a farm life, she did not leave behind the teaching of her daughter, and taught her poetry and etiquette, and the discipline was very strict, completely in accordance with the education model she received when she was a child.

But Xiangmo is not as quiet and obedient as her, and I don't know whose wildness she inherited, she can't be quiet at the age of six, and she is full of ghosts, and she sneaks out to play every day, and a few children of Aunt He's family either go hunting in the mountains, or go to the river to fish, every time she can make Qiao Wan cry, and when she comes back, she can't bear to fight, and patiently reasoned with her over and over again, but it was useless, and she ran out again and again. It wasn't until He Ziyi volunteered to be the supervisor of these children that she felt a little relieved.

And today, it is rare for Xiang Mo to wash vegetables in the yard obediently, and it just so happens that my brother brought Rong Xuan over.

Qiao Wan hurriedly beckoned their father and son to come in and sit down, and poured tea and served it.

As soon as the two of them sat down, Xiang Mo pulled Rong Xuan to play in the yard, and Qiao Wan hurriedly called behind him: "Don't take your brother away!" ”

"I know, I know—" Xiang Mo hurriedly coped with a few words, pulled Rong Xuan and ran away.

Seeing her anxious look, Qiao Cong smiled and said, "The children's playfulness is normal, and they just let them go." ”

"Brother," Qiao Wan only shook his head helplessly, "You don't know how wild this child is, I can't control her!" ”

"Can't help it? Then one more person to manage? ”

"It's useless, it's useless, this kid is very wild, and ten people can't control it-" Qiao Wan hurriedly shut up, "Isn't my brother busy with the branch recently, why do you have time to come over?" ”

He raised his eyebrows and said, "You have been staying at home all day, but you are very well informed." ”

"I also heard Ziyi say it, you don't know that I, a rural village woman, the only way to know about the outside world is Ziyi."

Qiao took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Ziyi Ziyi, it's so affectionate, when will the happy event of the two of you be done." ”

It's really hard to prevent. Qiao Wan didn't realize that his hand slipped, and the teacup fell to the ground with a "bang", and he hurriedly bent down to pick it up.

"Just kidding, look at your reaction-"

Qiao Wan hurriedly picked up the cup and choked angrily: "Brother, you are too open-mouthed, how can you talk like this all day long!" ”

Qiao Mian hurriedly raised his hand and made a gesture of surrender, "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was open-mouthed-" He apologized repeatedly, and when he saw Qiao Guan's face softened slightly, he said tentatively: "But I said, He Ziyi is really good." ”

She finally knew the purpose of her brother's visit today. didn't answer again, lowered his head and gently shook the teacup, watching the tea leaves inside slowly unfold, only pretending not to hear.

Qiao Wei sighed. After being silent for a long time, he still hesitated and spoke: "Do you know...... What's a big deal lately? ”

Qiao Wan shook his head.

He continued: "Cao Cao personally led an army of 200,000 to the south and attacked Jiangdong. ”

"Oh."

"......" Qiao Miao's face stiffened slightly, and he took a sip of tea to relieve the embarrassment as if nothing happened, and said: "Cao Cao is like a bamboo, Jiangdong is afraid that this time there will be more than one luck." ”

Qiao Wan shook his head and faintly distracted, Jiangdong is as far away as a matter of his previous life.

After a long time, when I hear this word again, I think of those people, even if it is a matter of life and death, my heart can no longer make waves.

It's just that it's hard at the beginning. Qiao Yu simply finished speaking in one breath, "Zhou Yu personally led a large army to meet the enemy, crossed the Red Cliff, and confronted Cao Cao across the river - that's right, it is in the Red Cliff dozens of miles away from here. ”

Qiao Wan still didn't have any expression, pondered for a long time, and said lightly: "No matter what, let's wish him good luck." ”

“…… You have a good heart. ”

"It has nothing to do with me."
