On the dinner table.

"How are you doing?" Qiao Xuan looked at Qiao Yuan with a worried face and asked.

Qiao Yuan kept a bowl of white porridge in his hand, and kept putting vegetables in Qiao Xuan's bowl with chopsticks, as if he wanted to make up for all the debts he owed to his daughter.

"There was a rainstorm half a month ago, I was accidentally caught in the rain, I got sick, and I haven't been getting better" Qiao Yuan's face was gloomy, and he said slowly: "Then I had another dream, I dreamed that you fell off the cliff, and I was worried, so I asked Steward Zhang to pick you up." ”

Although he was sick, he didn't die, he was trying to make Manager Zhang go to Qiao Xuan and deliberately said something serious.

"I'll take a look for you later!"

Qiao Xuan took a sip of soup, "When are you going to go back with me?" She wanted to know what he thought.

"I-"

As soon as the words in Qiao Yuan's mouth began, someone hurried into the courtyard, "Old Qiao, the master called you over!" ”

Qiao Xuan frowned, put down his chopsticks, and looked out of the house at the same time as Xi He.

A man of the same age as Qiao Yuan rushed into the house, picked up Qiao Yuan and walked out, the reason for Qiao Yuan's physical discomfort, one stumbled and almost fell.

"You eat first, I'll be back later!"

Qiao Yuan turned his head and said to Qiao Xuan and Xi He, and then the people walked away.

Qiao Xuan's expression was complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Let's eat!" Xi He tried to divert Qiao Xuan's attention.

"How is this Jincheng City Lord? Have you ever heard of him? Qiao Xuan suddenly thought of what Qiao Yuan said about the Jincheng City Lord asking him to participate in water control, so he asked.

Xi He was stunned for a moment, and pondered for a moment before saying: "I heard that this person is kind, gentle and polite to the people in the city, and is an honest and upright person. ”

Qiao Xuan nodded to indicate that he understood, picked up the chopsticks again and began to eat.

I'm really tired after running around for several days, I just slept a little, and now my back hurts.

"I heard that someone from Qiao Yuan's family is here?"

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard.

"I look at him as if he has been called away! Wouldn't it be nice for us to come over now? ”

"If there's anything bad, I'll just come over and say hello."

A young girl and a chubby woman walked and talked.

He faced Qiao Xuan and Xi He, who were standing at the door of the room.

The woman's gaze swept over the two, and finally her eyes were fixed on Qiao Xuan, after all, Qiao Xuan and Qiao Yuan's facial features were still similar, and it was easy to guess the relationship between the two.

"What a delicate and pretty little beauty" A shallow smile was pulled out of the woman's lips, and two shallow dimples loomed, obviously not young, but for no reason it gave people a sweet feeling like a little girl.

Qiao Xuan was stunned for a moment, thinking that the other party was here to find trouble, but he didn't expect the person in front of him to be smiling and kind.

"Who are you?" She asked tentatively.

"You're Qiao Yuan's daughter, right?" The woman smiled and walked closer, looking at Qiao Xuan carefully.

"I am," Qiao Xuan replied.

"I'm Miss Cao's Mansion, my name is Cao Rongrong, you can call me Aunt Cao."

Cao Rongrong took out a golden hairpin from her head, and was about to put it on Qiao Xuan's head, "This is my gift to you." ”

Qiao Xuan took a step back and avoided her movements, "Thank you for your kindness, but don't worry!" ”

She didn't know the purpose and identity of the person in front of her, how could she accept the other party's kindness for no reason.

Cao Rongrong was not angry when she was rejected, she still looked smiling, "Little girl, what do you think of me?" ”

Qiao Xuan: "......"

Listening to this, it seems a bit like ......

Is that what she guessed? She was a little unsure for a moment.

Xi He stood aside and looked at Cao Rongrong, guessing Cao Rongrong's intentions like Qiao Xuan.

"It's good," Seeing Cao Rongrong waiting for her answer with anticipation in her eyes, Qiao Xuan replied a little perfunctorily.

The smile on Cao Rongrong's face became brighter and brighter, "Really? Do you think I'm fine? ”

Qiao Xuan nodded cautiously.

"Then what do you think of me marrying your father?" Cao Rongrong's next sentence was like a thunderclap that smashed on several people.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you? How can you have such a mind? ”

After a pause, the little girl standing behind Cao Rongrong couldn't help but speak, with a look of disagreement, "My father won't agree!" ”

"I'm in charge of my marriage, it's useless if your father doesn't agree!" Cao Rongrong didn't take the little girl's words seriously, "Besides, Qiao Yuan's daughters agreed." ”

Qiao Xuan's expression moved, she wanted to ask when she agreed, she obviously didn't say anything!

Besides, what's the use of even if she agrees to such a thing?

"Don't worry, I will definitely be a good stepmother, treat you well, don't bully you, and take good care of you."

Cao Rongrong solemnly patted Qiao Xuan's shoulder.

"Does my dad know about this?" Qiao Xuan endured it, and finally couldn't help asking.

Cao Rongrong's white and round hands covered her face, and she shook her head very shyly, "I haven't caught up with your father yet." ”

"Your father is very fierce, as soon as he saw me, he walked away, I chased me several times, but I didn't catch up."

She was a little frustrated at this, and her tone was lowered.

"But I'm not going to give up! It is bound to get your father, be your stepmother, and marry into your old Qiao family. ”

Qiao Xuan's face appeared in Qiao Xuan's mind, although he was not young anymore and had wrinkles on his face, he was indeed still good, no wonder Cao Rongrong in front of him would take a fancy to him.

"Hmmm! Then you continue to work hard" Qiao Xuan's dark eyes looked at Cao Rongrong with a smile.

"Mmmm, I will" Cao Rongrong swore back after receiving encouragement, and then asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Qiao Xuan."

"Your dad gave you such a nice name!"

Cao Rongrong seemed to think that everything was fine with Qiao Yuan, including Qiao Yuan's daughter and Qiao Yuan's daughter's name.

Love the house and Wu to an unparalleled situation.

The little girl behind her felt that she had no eyes to see, so she turned her head and bit her lip silently.

"Who is this?"

Cao Rongrong looked at Xi He again.

"I'm Xiao Xuan's fiancé," Xi He said.

"Xiao Xuan's fiancé is also really handsome" Cao Rongrong turned into a Kwakwa clan, looking at Qiao Xuan and Xi He, it was pleasing to the eye.

"Auntie, it's not too early, we should go back!" The little girl tugged at Cao Rongrong's sleeve and reminded.

"Got it!" Cao Rongrong nodded, but her eyes still fell on Qiao Xuan, "You guys are too plain to wear, I have a few good fabrics there, and I will have someone send them for you to choose from later, and ask someone to make a few sets of clothes for you." ”

"Our Qiao family has to wear spirits."

Qiao Xuan couldn't help but want to laugh, although he didn't know what Qiao Yuan thought, but this suitor of his was quite interesting, very cute, and he already praised himself as Qiao's family before he caught up.
