Chapter 91: Beating Mandarin Ducks
Although there was a little speculation in my heart, I couldn't help but be a little surprised when I heard the news that she was dead, "What's the matter?" ”
"I didn't make it through when I gave birth." Yuan Langlang's tone was filled with a bit of regret and sympathy, "A woman's birth is a fight for life and death, the concubine won the bet, and Liu Ji just lost the bet." Before leaving, he was still chattering, saying that he gave birth to an heir for the Sun family, and could he exchange Huang Qing's life. ”
Huang Qing? It's been a long time since I've heard this name, and when I think of the past, I can't understand more and more that a character who thinks about climbing dragons and phoenixes all day long can attract Liu Zhu to be so obsessed.
"There are also a lot of concubines of the eldest brother in this house, and there are also childless under his knees, why do you have to ask you to raise two young children alone." Qiao Wei looked at Yuan Langlang's face and became much thinner and haggard, and even his eye sockets were a little sunken.
How tedious and tiring it is to take care of a young child, Qiao Wei has seen some of it, just getting up at night can keep people up until they are bald, not to mention two.
Yuan Langlang whispered, "This is the old lady's value." The concubine was also resigned, but the old lady said that the little son is now the only heir in the house, and the identity of the adoptive mother is extremely important. ”
Qiao Wei said, "It's not just for the name of the Runan Yuan family, if it were me, I would probably do the same, you have a noble and open-minded character, and the child will be handed over to you to educate, and it will not be bad in the future." ”
Yuan Langlang covered her mouth and snickered, "Madame's praise is so ridiculous, but the concubine has no place to be ashamed." The concubine is also so that the sister-in-law can have a brother to help her in the future. ”
Qiao Wei glanced at her coquettishly, "Then do you still have enough people around you?" ”
The old lady allocated the Bao Yuan beside her to the concubine to take care of the little boy together. Xiao Qiao also came to help from time to time, although he was tired, he still had enough manpower. ”
Speaking of Xiao Qiao, Yuan Langlang's eyes were full of appreciation, and he took Qiao Wei's hand, "The concubine really likes Xiao Qiao, although my father's branch is a little lonely now, but the foundation is still there, and my brother is not a gentleman. ”
Qiao Wei has also seen Yuan Yao, he is a gentleman who is more serious, but he is honest and ambitious, and he is also conscientious as the governor of Wancheng, and he takes Li Shu very closely.
Regarding the matter of choosing a sister-in-law, Qiao Wei was satisfied with Yuan Yao, but Mrs. Qiao probably felt that Zhou Yu Zhuyu was in front of her, and she was more looking forward to Qiao Ying entering the door of the Zhou family than Yuan Yao.
Qiao Wei was helpless.
"My aunt refuses to let go of this matter, and I am helpless." In the end, Qiao Wei is just a sister, and Qiao Ying's marriage finally has to be nodded by Qiao's father and Qiao's mother, "It's better to let Yuan Duwei walk around Qiao's house more, if my Qiao's mother can see the character and talent of the Yuan family's son, she may also be relieved." ”
Yuan Langlang understood what Qiao Wei meant, and thought about going back to write a letter to his brother.
Qiao Wei returned to Juxu Pavilion, thinking that he hadn't talked to Qiao Ying today, and walked to the side courtyard again.
was walking to the window, but saw Qiao Ying stunned at the bookcase, the ink on the tip of the pen was dripping on the paper, and he didn't notice a large patch.
There was also a letter on the side of the table, Qiao Wei gently pushed the door in, and saw the letter on the table, signed "Yu".
Qiao Wei chuckled in his heart, and his face changed slightly.
Qiao Ying suddenly found that her sister was standing in front of her, and subconsciously put away the letter on the table and hid it behind her, her face full of panic.
"Ah, sister......"
Qiao Wei sat down and asked softly, "When did it happen?" ”
Qiao Ying bit her lower lip, not knowing how to answer, now she is like a child who has done something wrong, she doesn't dare to look directly into Qiao Wei's eyes, she doesn't know how to face her sister's disappointed eyes.
"I don't blame you, why are you so nervous?" Qiao Wei took Qiao Ying's hand, "It's common for a family to have a hundred women asking for it." ”
Qiao Wei pulled the broken hair in front of Qiao Ying's forehead behind her ears, revealing the white back of her neck, which was moving, like a drunken begonia on a drunken day.
Qiao Ying cautiously looked up at Qiao Wei's face, and found that she was indeed not angry, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She unfolded the letter to Qiao Wei, but it didn't say anything else, only that she had found the seeds of Eucommia ulmoides, and asked someone to bring them back to Qiao Ying, telling her to take care of them.
"Huainan is not close, he can be regarded as having a heart." Qiao Wei commented without changing his face, but the truth is that Huainan is so far away, and he has not forgotten the peacock to open the screen, and he also opened it in front of his sister.
Damn man.
Qiao Ying was afraid that Qiao Wei would be angry, so she hurriedly explained, "After my sister said it once before, I returned the veil and thanked the Zhonghu Army."
I don't know if it's a letter from the Protector, or how he knew I was looking for Eucommia......"
The more Qiao Ying spoke, the quieter her voice became, and in the end, only the volume of a mosquito was left.
How do you know...... It must be that the people around you have Zhou Yu's eyeliner!
Qiao Ying thought that she really broke off her thoughts about Zhou Yu, when she was in Sun's mansion, she often went to Yuan Langlang to accompany Yuan Langlang to take care of the children, and sometimes she would listen to Yuan Langlang talk about Yuan Yao's affairs, and her heart gradually settled.
Yuan Yao is a gentleman, and in his letters to Yuan Langlang, he often writes about Anhui City, and also reports the safety of Qiao's family to Qiao Ying.
As my sister said, if she really becomes the wife of the Yuan family, and gets along with such a husband, her life should be very stable.
In this chaotic situation, a stable life is also what she has always longed for, it is best to be safe and secure for the rest of her life, nothing will happen, and you can see the end at a glance.
She gradually felt that the days when she met Zhou Yu were like a distant dream, but she was still not deep, and when she woke up, she only had a little regret, and she would not be sad.
And that peace was shattered when she received the letter.
Qiao Ying's change in eyes couldn't hide it from Qiao Wei, she could only lament, could it be that this is the fateful bond between Qiao Yu?
"Mother wants you to marry into the Zhou family, the Zhou family is the high gate of the Lujiang River, and the Zhonghu Army is a hero, and the future is definitely limitless.
But my sister still said the same thing, with someone as a concubine, life may be difficult. You just have to look at Langlang to know. She is also the daughter of the Yuan family in Runan, and she is the concubine of the Sun family, and a Mrs. Xu can handle her.
If it weren't for the maid next to Liu Zhu to report the news that day, I am afraid that I would have already died two corpses. Langlang is so smart and reasonable, and his life is still hanging by a thread, what can you do if it were you? ”
Qiao Ying's eyes were full of tears, and she couldn't refute, "I understand, sister." ”
Seeing her so sad, Qiao Wei couldn't help but be shaken by two points, but thinking of Qiao Ying's compromised appearance in her previous life, she had to force herself to be ruthless.
