Chapter 80: Unspeakably Expensive
In the county, in front of a house, Xi He and Qiao Xuan got off the ox cart.
Qiao Xuan crossed his hands and looked around, and Xi He stepped forward to knock on the door.
"Brother Xi, you're here!"
The door was opened by a young girl in a long white dress with a bright smile on her face.
"Come in! My dad must be glad to see you. β
She greeted Xi He, and the corner of her eye looked at Qiao Xuan who was standing next to Xi He.
Qiao Xuan's eyes were stunned, didn't he say that his daughter was stolen, but this was the adopted daughter in front of him?
When the three of them walked inside, while the girls were not paying attention, Xi He whispered in Qiao Xuan's ear: "This is the daughter adopted by my teacher, called Lu Zhenzhen." β
The house was very large, and Lu Zhenzhen took Qiao Xuan and Xi He around and around, through the corridor, through the garden, and finally to a pavilion in the lake.
In the pavilion, two white-haired old men are playing against each other.
Lu Zhenzhen made a silent gesture to Xi He and Qiao Xuan.
The three of them walked over quietly.
The two old men looked up at them and resumed their game of chess.
After a few moments, the game ended.
"Xi He is here!"
"The students came to visit the teacher," Xi He solemnly saluted the fairy-like old man.
"This isβ" Lu Qian stroked his beard and looked at Qiao Xuan with a pair of deep and narrow eyes.
While he was looking at Qiao Xuan, Qiao Xuan was also looking at him.
Xi He hurriedly introduced: "This is my fiancΓ©e Qiao Xuan." β
"Old Lu, you have a guest coming, then I will leave first, and I will come to play with you another day."
The old man opposite Lu Qian got up with a smile and waved his hand goodbye.
"Okay! Come back another day. β
Lu Qian nodded, and when his friend's figure disappeared, he pointed to the stone bench opposite and motioned for Xi He to sit with Qiao Xuan.
"Zhenzhen is going to make tea."
Lu Zhenzhen answered and went down.
Xi He sat down with Qiao Xuan.
"What do you see, little girl?" Obviously, Lu Qian heard Xi He say that Qiao Xuan was special, and he didn't say much to ask straight to the point.
"I heard Xi He say that Lu Lao wants to ask about his daughter's whereabouts?"
Qiao Xuan didn't answer and asked, "Do you remember the eight characters of your birthday?" β
Lu Qian's thin fingers flicked the black and white chess pieces on the table chessboard, his eyes drooped slightly, "Remember, it's ......"
Qiao Xuan's fingers pinched, and after a while, "Look up, let me see your face." β
Lu Qian's fingers paused slightly when he heard this, he slowly raised his head, and after the four eyes met for a moment, Qiao Xuan began to look at his face.
Xi He sat quietly next to him, his thin lips pursed, and he seemed to be nervous, afraid that the result would not be good.
"Let's draw two lots!"
Lu Qian was very cooperative, and let him do whatever he wanted, but his fingers couldn't stop trembling.
"City, source?"
He stared at the signed words and muttered as if to himself, "What do you mean?" β
Qiao Xuan's eyes widened, and he was shocked in his heart, he actually ......
"What's wrong?" Xi He frowned and asked in a deep voice.
Lu Qian's heart tightened, his face was like ashes, and he already thought of all kinds of worst outcomes in his mind.
"It's bad news, it's good news, what do you want to hear?" Qiao Xuan put the sign back in the holder and asked casually.
"Good news."
Lu Qian closed his eyes and tried his best to control his emotions, but his voice trembled slightly, and his body was a little stiff as he sat upright.
Qiao Xuan: "She's still alive." β
Lu Qian opened his eyes suddenly, with an expression of disbelief, "Really? β
"Naturally, not only alive, but also extremely noble," Qiao Xuan's lips hooked slightly.
"And the bad news?" Knowing that his daughter was still alive, Lu Qian re-injected a wave of courage into his heart.
"In this life, I am destined to have no father and daughter relationship with you, and I can't return to you to see you."
Qiao Xuan's tone was very light, but he knocked on Lu Qian's heart word by word.
After being silent, he seemed to have finally found his voice, "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive." β
"Where is she? Can I know? β
"When I was young, I endured hardships, ran around for several years, got an opportunity, Phoenix Nirvana, was reborn from the fire, and I was sad for half my life, and I became a person above 10,000 people under one person."
Qiao Xuan's voice was so light that it was almost nothing.
Lu Qian instantly stood up from the stone bench, his eyes full of shock, "You-what do you mean-"
Even Xi He's eyes were full of surprise, one person is below ten thousand people, isn't this what he said......
"That's what you think."
Qiao Xuan was actually shocked, after all, a weak woman with no power, no power and no background could become the most noble woman in the world, and it was unimaginable how many tribulations there should be.
Lu Qian's body was weak and almost fell to the ground, but Xi Heyan quickly supported him.
Deathly silence.
None of the three spoke again.
Lu Qian's heart was full of wrinkled emotions, and his expression was awe-inspiring, and the whole person seemed to be much older.
It wasn't until Lu Zhenzhen came from the long pavilion with tea that Lu Qian spoke: "I hope that the little girl will keep this matter in her heart, and no one will mention it again." β
Knowing that his daughter is alive, the stone in his heart has fallen, and he should be content.
"Don't worry, Lu Lao!"
Qiao Xuan is not a big-mouthed person, and he can clearly distinguish the importance of this matter, so he naturally won't say it.
"Hahaha" Lu Qian stroked his beard and looked up and laughed, with a sadness in his eyes that no one could understand.
God gave her a daughter, but she cut off the father-daughter relationship between the two.
"Drink tea!" Lu Zhenzhen put the tea on the table.
"Zhenzhen, go get fifty taels for Miss Qiao," Lu Qian ordered after taking a sip of tea.
Lu Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment, her face was puzzled, but she still turned around and went to get the money.
"Xi He, thank you for bringing the little girl here, it untied my knot, and I can leave without regrets."
Lu Qian looked at Xi He.
"Helping teachers solve their worries is what students should do," Xi He said respectfully.
"You are my most valued student, and the future will be unlimited, definitely, you must not give up on the path you should take."
Lu Qian had heard about Xi He's family, and couldn't help reminding him.
"I will, thank you for reminding me."
Xi He's voice was loud, and Junyi's face was full of seriousness.
Lu Zhenzhen quickly brought the silver, and Qiao Xuan accepted it without shirking.
"Brother Xi will stay and eat at noon! Just accompany my dad and talk to him. β
Xi He's face was embarrassed, because Xi Yan was still at home waiting for him and Qiao Xuan to go back to deal with the noodles to be sold tomorrow.
"That's it! If you have something, go back, and come back next time you are free" Lu Qian waved his hand and said, his mood had not calmed down at this time, and he wanted to be quiet.
After a brief greeting, Xi He took Qiao Xuan and left the Lu family.
"I found out that you are still strange for being popular with little girls," Qiao Xuan said half-jokingly and half-seriously on the street.
Xi He is good-looking, and from time to time a young girl's eyes fall on him and can't take it off.
"Huh?" Xi He paused, "Popular? β
The most contact he has on weekdays is Qiao Xuan and his sister, and he really has no contact with other members of the opposite sex.
