"Xianggong, it's been half a year since you left home, and you've lost a lot of weight." Big Joe came over to help me take off my coat and pat the dust on it.

I pulled the hair on my neck, thinking that in winter, I put a plush scarf on my neck, and the scarf of this era is naturally inferior to modern in terms of quality, so hair removal is also a common phenomenon.

"How's your health lately, you and Little Joe." I said.

"My sister may have been infected with some wind and cold recently, and now she has returned to her parents' house, my mother personally takes care of my sister, I heard that you are back, and I am waiting for you here." Big Joe brought a towel and said.

I looked at Da Qiao and smiled slightly: "I told you, don't toss yourself, I'll do all the work." ”

"Xianggong, you returned to Nanjing for half a month before you went home...... Isn't it...... You don't want to see us? Da Qiao took the towel and said with his head down.

At this time, Da Qiao is still beautiful, since she was pregnant, it has been almost eight months, and she has a big belly, and it is very inconvenient for her to walk.

Naturally, I feel extremely guilty, but there are some things that I still want to figure out, but it's inconvenient to talk about it now.

"I'm busy with business, but it's better to go next, and then it's not a big deal, I can be at home more." I said.

Da Qiao laughed, those big eyes looked at me, as if she could speak, she pursed her lips, and stopped talking, but soon said: "Wan'er is not a fool, Wan'er knows the concerns in Xianggong's heart, but Wan'er believes that one day, Xianggong will really like Wan'er's ......"

Big Joe's name is Qiao Juan, and Little Joe's name is Qiao Qian, I didn't expect Da Joe to say this to me, which makes me feel bad in my heart.

She approached me and put my hand on her slightly bulging belly: "Xianggong, the concubine knows that Xianggong is a person who does great things, but ...... But the concubine's body is not ugly, so it's good to look at the concubine's body more when it's fair......"

My heart was sour, and at this time I immediately hugged Da Qiao in my arms, and I said: "Don't think about it, when I calm down this chaotic world, I will accompany you and enjoy the ten miles of peach blossoms outside the city." ”

Da Qiao was hugged by me, and suddenly sobbed, and then he couldn't cry.

I wondered, "Why are you crying?" ”

"Xianggong This is the first time to hug Wan'er, Wan'er...... Happy. Da Qiao said softly.

I sighed and said nothing.

And Da Qiao came to Qiao's house by carriage, Qiao's house is very exquisitely decorated, a double-open iron gate, there are a lot of climbing vines hanging next to the iron gate, it is summer at this time, so the garden here is full of green, it looks very life-like, and climbing near the iron gate, it is to make the surrounding decoration look particularly charming.

Faintly you can see that the pointed hat of the villa is in the middle, the red tiles, which look very decent, and the surrounding area is full of the charm of books.

Entering the yard, first of all, there are a few trees on both sides, I don't know what these trees are, because I haven't seen them either, but I don't know how strong they are, the trees that can be here should not be ordinary varieties, plus a lot of low bushes and flowers around, so that the house has a special warmth.

This house is not very big, about two floors, but the space inside is very spacious, and it looks quite magnificent from the outside, before I entered the door, I saw six middle-aged women standing on both sides, but although these women are middle-aged, they must be six beautiful girls.

In the yard, there are still many houses, scattered houses, but arranged in an orderly manner, and many families are cleaning the courtyard.

There are also a number of carved Shan Shan on the far wall, these Shan Shan are beautifully carved, and the dragon flies and the phoenix dance, giving people a very quiet, but not perverse feeling.

Qiao Lao is also wearing a decent clothes, there is an old man beside him, but his body bones look very strong, there is a heroic aura emanating from his hands and feet, his hair is combed neatly, his beard is also very neat, the black shirt is matched with loose cylindrical trousers, the waist is straight, at a glance, I know that the body bones are very healthy, and the old man's eyes seem to have a murderous aura coming out, I can feel that this can only be exercised in the pile of dead people.

This seems to be Qiao Lao's entourage, and he is also a retired general with troops, who now also lives in Qiao's mansion, and when he saw me, he nodded at me with a smile.

Behind Qiao Lao was a white-faced old woman, the old lady was much older in comparison, but she was neatly dressed, and at a glance, she could find that the old lady's consciousness was a little confused, because her steps were broken, and her hands were a little trembling.

I once heard Qiao Juan say that she has a grandmother who is more than sixty years old, and nine times out of ten she is the person in front of her, and in this era, fifty or sixty years old is already considered a long life.

Sure enough, Qiao Xuan heard that I was coming, and prepared a rich banquet.

"Virtuous son-in-law, virtuous son-in-law, you are finally here, hahaha!" Qiao Xuan walked over with a smile on his face and said.

I arched my hand: "I've seen my father-in-law!" ”

"You're here to pick up Qian'er, but Qian'er is resting in the inner hall, and Dr. Hua has come and said that Qian'er just has a fetal gas, and it's not a big deal, just have a good rest." Qiao Xuan said.

"Let me go see Qian'er first." I said.

Qiao Xuan's eyebrows smiled, his eyebrows and mustache were almost squeezed together: "Okay, good son-in-law, go ahead, my daughters, in their previous life, they were also blessed by the heavens, and they have such a considerate husband!" ”

I smiled and walked towards the inner hall.

Qiao Juan followed behind me, and the two of us walked on the bluestone slab, one in front of the other, but there was a different feeling.

Suddenly, Qiao Wan's feet stumbled, and she was about to fall, I immediately grabbed her arm, Qiao Wan's face was charming, and she smiled slightly: "Thank you, Xianggong." ”

"Be careful." I said.

Qiao Juan thought for a while, she bit her lip and said, "Recently, how is the second sister?" ”

"It's good, what?" I looked at Qiao Juan.

Qiao Juan was a little flustered: "No, I just asked, in fact, the second sister is the one who helps Xianggong the most, I heard that the second sister has repeatedly saved Xianggong and water and fire, but it's a pity that now I have a big belly, otherwise Wan'er really wants to talk to the second sister and listen to her interesting stories along the way." ”

I looked ahead: "There will be a chance." ”

At this point, we had arrived at the Forbidden Garden, and I said, "I've heard about this place for a long time, who is being held in it?" ”

"This place is also a forbidden place for our family, only my father knows, and the orchid garden where my sister is located is still ahead." Qiao Juan said.

I glanced at the trees at the entrance of the Forbidden Garden, and I already had a plan in mind, so I didn't say anything more.

When I arrived at the Orchid Garden, I saw a lot of orchids and plants planted on the side of the road, and at a glance, it was verdant and very beautiful, and there were two maids in the distance, guarding a little girl's side, and the little girl was lying on the coffee table, as if she was doing something.

I crept over and heard her words.

"This is Xianggong, this is my sister...... Hee-hee...... Xianggong has a big nose, big eyes, and a small mouth...... Succeed with flying colors! As she spoke, the little girl picked up a piece of flower paper, on which were painted three people, very well and vividly, and in the middle stood a man in armor, and the two beside him were beautiful women like flowers and jade.

The two maidservants were stunned when they saw me, but I raised my hand and told them to leave first.

Qiao Wan chuckled, but didn't speak.

"Your father-in-law's mouth doesn't seem to be so small, it's all turned into a chicken ass!" I said.

"Where, my father-in-law's mouth is small, you don't understand! My sister likes him, my sister likes it, and Qian'er likes it too! Qiao Qian said playfully.

"How much do you like it?"

"Qian'er wants to sleep with Xianggong's arm every day, but Xianggong is busy and seems to have forgotten Qian'er, Qian'er waits and waits every day, but Xianggong just doesn't come back...... My sister said that there was another person living in Xianggong's heart. Qiao Qian said lonely.

Qiao Wan next to her immediately said, "Qian'er, don't talk nonsense." ”

"Sister!" Qiao Qian turned around happily, but when she saw me, a delicate and cute face, and immediately turned crimson: "Xianggong? ”
