Chapter 186: Don't take your own shortcomings and compare them to others
At the moment when Qiao Ling turned around, he found that there was actually a woman in the house, although it was only a glimpse, but Qiao Ling saw her figure and appearance clearly, and said that she was younger than herself.
Brother-in-law turns out to like younger ones? This is ready to eat secretly before he gets a wife?
Do you want to tell your mother? Qiao Ling was a little entangled in her heart.
At that time, it was common for men with power and advantages to raise Teng concubines, and Long Xiang's current identity was completely fine, but after all, the two sisters were not married, and they were going to have two bowls of noodles just now, and it was clearly a bowl for themselves and a bowl for the woman, needless to say, the affection.
Qiao Ling was entangled all the way, because he was too engrossed in walking, he had just passed through the Moon Gate, and was startled by Qiao Wan who was "waiting for the rabbit" next to him.
"Second sister, what are you doing here? I was shocked into a cold sweat." Qiao Ling patted his chest and soothed.
Qiao Wan disagreed, and quipped: "Look at your little cowardice, you were shocked during the day, no wonder Xu Chu didn't teach..."
"My brother told me that if I don't take my own shortcomings and grow longer, I can't compare my hand to Xu Chu, so it's better to learn from my brother, Xu Chu will listen to him..."
Qiao Ling is getting older now, especially after staying with Long Xiang for a long time, she has learned some of the ability to behave in the world and adapt, and she is not so easy to be handled by her sister.
After hearing this, Qiao Wan changed her stubbornness, and nodded solemnly in agreement: "What Yunqi said is reasonable, he has a lot of skills, the third brother has to learn by heart."
"Hehe, of course, the noodles you ate before were learned from my brother, how about it? Doesn't it taste good?" Qiao Ling was complacent.
Qiao Wan pursed her mouth: "The taste is not bad, and the learning is also good, but don't forget who taught you, he should make it even better."
"The second sister's words are true, my brother kneaded the dough and cut the dough very neatly, if we didn't know him well, I would have thought he was the cook of that big family." Qiao Ling nodded in affirmation.
Qiao Wan suddenly stopped talking and asked in a low voice, "Is there such a big movement in the front yard, what happened?"
"Brother has changed a group of guards, and the new guard chief is black and strong, and he feels that his momentum is three points stronger than Xu Chu."
Qiao Ling was in a hurry just now, and she didn't have time to get to know Zhang Fei at all.
Qiao Wan raised her beautiful eyes and muttered, "It's been good, what kind of guard does Yunqi change?" In addition, in this Hefei City, there are people who are more imposing than Xu Chu? They drove Sun Ce away."
Qiao Ling turned her head and pointed, "That person is in front, the second sister doesn't believe that she went to see it, maybe it was newly recruited."
Qiao Wan's small hands were spread, and the pear vortex at the corner of her mouth was revealed: "What do I not believe? Yunqi hasn't eaten the noodles yet, has he? Did you just ask?"
Qiao Ling hesitated: "Asked... He asked me to cook two bowls and then let the kitchen prepare some noodles, which might not be enough..."
"And what are you doing here? We haven't prepared yet, he must be busy and hungry..."
Qiao Wan couldn't help but say, and ran to the kitchen with Qiao Ling.
Qiao Ling couldn't help but didn't tell the informant, but she slandered her stomach as she walked.
People are not busy and hungry, and the concubine is placed next door, but I am afraid that I will be even busier tonight.
The two sisters and brothers went to prepare noodles, and the misunderstood "bitter master" Long Xiang introduced Zhang Fei to the end, so he asked him and Xiahou Juan to go to the main hall to wait for dinner, and told Xu Chu to invite Lu Su to come and see him.
As soon as Xu Chu walked to the door, Long Xiang quickly chased after him, and lowered his voice and instructed: "The news of Yide's coming to Hefei, don't announce it to the public for the time being, let the brothers of the Tiger Guard Camp stop talking nonsense, especially not let the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion know."
"The last will understand." Xu Chu clenched his fists sonorously.
The leader did not take the initiative to explain the reason, and the subordinates did not know much and did not ask much, Xu Chu understood this very thoroughly, but he didn't know why Long Xiang was like this, especially the orphan of the Yuan family in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Since the orphans of the Yuan family came to Hefei, most of the time they have been eating and waiting for death in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and no one in the mansion has been used by Long Xiang.
Xu Chu didn't understand Long Xiang's intentions, and he also felt that the other party was unfathomable, no wonder he could grow from a small Qu to become the existence of 100,000 people in a few years.
Long Xiang avoided the Yuan family with a clear purpose and raised them in the spirit of humanitarianism
, and when Sun Quan takes over, he will be sent away as a gift.
If Jiangdong Wenwu knew that Zhang Fei had come to Hefei, he might be wary of Hefei, which would make it more difficult to take Jiangdong later.
After all, Xu Chu has already overwhelmed Sun Ce, plus Zhang Sanye, who is a 10,000-strong enemy, how can the Jiangdong rats still have the strength to fight back?
The mother and daughter of the Qiao family were full of praise after eating the noodles, and they asked Qiao Ling to prepare them in advance, and the ready-made ingredients came quickly, so Zhang Fei and his wife did not sit in the hall for a while, and there were maids outside the hall who brought two bowls of noodles.
Long Xiang motioned for the maids to serve to the guests, and enthusiastically introduced Zhang Fei and his wife.
"Yide, Mrs. Xiahou, this is also a noodle thing, it is a new way to eat in Hefei, you can taste it while it's hot, it's not enough."
"It smells good, ma'am, let's not be polite to Yunqi."
"Hmm..."
Xiahou Juan and Zhang Fei are very similar to father and daughter together, although they are young, their manners are down-to-earth and generous, and they are as docile as kittens in front of Zhang Fei.
Long Xiang was making fun of Zhang Fei in his heart, and accidentally caught a glimpse of a familiar figure outside the hall.
He stood up and said to Zhang Fei, "You guys use it slowly, I'll go outside and explain a few words."
"Yunqi is self-serving, but your noodles are so fragrant, I need at least three bowls to eat it for the first time in such a big life... No... Five bowls is enough."
Long Xiang said that it was enough just now, but Zhang Fei was not polite to him at all, and lowered his head and asked Xiahou Juan, "Have you ever eaten noodles before?" Are you enough?"
"Nope..."
Xiahou Juan only replied one word, and he didn't know if he hadn't eaten it or if it wasn't enough.
Zhang Fei waved his hand to stop Long Xiang and shouted, "Yunqi, I still need seven bowls."
"No problem, I'll have someone prepare..."
Long Xiang smiled and walked outside the hall, he saw the Chen family just now, the mother-in-law is usually fine, there must be something in front of her, so she must go out to have a look.
Chen originally didn't plan to follow, she went with Qiao Wei to visit the noodle practice, and when she saw that the honest Qiao Ling looked different, she knew that Long Xiang brought back a woman, and now she is placed next door, and it is not clear whether she plans to accept her as a concubine.
The names of Qiao Wei and Qiao Wan have been decided, and many important officials in Hefei know that Chen is not worried about Long Xiang's remorse, but she heard Qiao Ling say that the woman is young and lovely.
Chen took the opportunity to deliver food to take a look, but found out that he was a guest of Long Xiang, and he was also discovered by his son-in-law.
Chen was a particular person and knew that Long Xiang would definitely come out, so he waited quietly outside the hall.
The son-in-law was so solemn in his hospitality, and the rugged man was also extremely unkind, and she planned to ask the people inside about their origins.
Long Xiang strode across the threshold and saluted Chen, who was standing on the left side, with a fist clasped into his fist: "Auntie, is there something wrong with me?"
Chen smiled slightly: "Ling'er said that there were a lot of guards in front, and Yunqi asked the kitchen to prepare more noodles, I thought you were tired of what you were doing, so I came out to see, are the two people inside father and daughter or..."
"It's a couple, my friends of life and death."
