Chapter 422 (two chapters in one)
In Yunchu Palace, Lao Qiao, Mr. Chen, Qiao Jianshan, Chen Lan, Hu Daoba, Su Hong and others were discussing how to solve the problem when the couple came back this time.
According to Mr. Chen's words, we'll be cold. The old emperor of Nanyue would do whatever he wanted. His son likes to be his son-in-law in our family. If he has the ability, he will get his son away. Humph!
Lao Qiao didn't have much objection to the old emperor. He was just angry that his granddaughter was slapped by Concubine Jiang. After a year, he still felt aching in his heart when he thought about it. So let's have a cold first. This matter must be solved by Nanyue.
Both old men decided that Qiao Jianshan and Hu Daocao had no objection, so they would have a unified cold treatment!
Ruan Hui mentioned that he would not want to go back to Xilin and Qiao Qiao was unwilling to say anything now. Every day, the first floor of the family of four was filled with laughter everywhere.
When the old emperor and Concubine Jiang appeared in Yunchu Palace in the costumes of a wealthy family, the Qiao family was quite surprised. The old emperor and his wife gave their junior tribute to Lao Qiao and Lao Chen. His son was the grandson-in-law of the family. If the general people were talking about their generation, Lao Qiao and Lao Chen could bear the rituals of the old emperor and his wife.
"Your Majesty, this makes me please sit down."
Old Qiao signaled Old Master Li to help the old emperor to the seat, but the old emperor and Concubine Jiang only sat opposite Qiao Jianshan and his wife. Old Qiao and Old Chen were obviously older.
"Old Prince, I won't mention the emperor or the emperor here today. I am just the identity of Lao Jiu's father, just like the old father of ordinary people." The old emperor's words and attitude were very sincere.
Old Chen sat there with half-squinted eyes and pretended not to make a sound.
Lao Qiao was secretly thinking in his heart that the old emperor took this step, which was considered sincere. Since you want an ordinary person's home, you can do it.
Concubine Jiang was not very comfortable sitting there with the old emperor. If the Qiao family didn't mention it, it did not mean that the matter could pass. She was inappropriate.
Concubine Jiang said that it would not be bad, and she would always focus on her son. If her son is beneficial, she would naturally please her treasures. For example, if Qiao Qiao was not involved with someone, it would be normal for her to react fiercely, but she shouldn't take action, and she was too careless. In terms of identity, the girl was no longer a farm girl, but a precious little princess, and she was not much different from her son.
"Old Qiao, Mr. Chen, when the Lantern Festival incident happened last year, I beat Qiao'er in a hurry. Although it has been more than a year, I am still uneasy. It is because I didn't ask the reason that Qiao'er was wrong. Qiao'er was my daughter-in-law. It's because she apologized to her. However, Qiao'er is a sensible person and will definitely not be treated as a gift from her elders. Here, I apologize to Qiao'er's elders and my elders, just as I apologize to Qiao'er.
I am sorry to Qiaoer. I hope the two old men accept my apology for Qiaoer and forgive me for being a mother-in-law."
Concubine Jiang solemnly walked to Mr. Qiao and Mr. Chen and bowed in a regular manner.
Concubine Jiang was able to raise her son step by step into the emperor's favorite prince in the harem of Nanyue, and then become the crown prince. She has always been the old emperor's favorite concubine in the palace. She only took her to escape, so she could tell that she was a wise person who understood the situation.
"This is impossible, it is impossible..." Chen Lan hurriedly stepped forward and helped Concubine Jiang up, and the intimacy between the two relatives and mothers came up again.
"No problem, if you are wrong, it is wrong. My concubine is the younger generation of the two old men. This ceremony can be accepted." The old emperor did not ask Concubine Jiang to do this, but the old emperor was also relieved that she could do this for her son and Nanyue.
"This is too disgusting. Since the emperor has been indifferent to me, Yun Chu, I will ask Lao Qiao for a long time. I feel ashamed of accepting it, and I feel ashamed of accepting it."
"Well, indeed." Old Master Chen finally spoke and stopped pretending to be asleep. This attitude is OK, but he doesn't care if he has a lot of people.
Qiao Wu and Ruan Le rushed over after hearing the news. They were really the father.
"Daughter, son-in-law has met his father and mother Jiang."
"Yeah, get up."
Er Qiao Ruanle hurried to the front hall when she heard the news. She couldn't figure out the situation at first, but now she saw that the two families were in trouble and thought they were coming to put out the fire. She felt relieved.
"You guys come quickly, where are Ruan Hui and Qiao'er? They run out day by day, and it's hard to see someone." The couple, Qiao Ruan Le, must have known whereabouts. These two pairs are all the people.
"They took two little ones out of the city, but they should be back soon."
Not only Ruan Hui and Qiao Qiao left the city, but Hu Daoba and Su Hong were not there either. They didn’t know what the situation was when the emperor came, so it would be better to hide first.
Lao Qiao, Lao Chen and Qiao Jianshan were talking with the old emperor, talking about Ruan Hui and Qiao Qiao's wedding. Chen Lan and Ruan Le accompanied Concubine Jiang to Yunchu Palace, and chatted about some details of the wedding while walking. The men talked about the general direction and the women talked about the small details.
In short, there is only one purpose, this wedding cannot be delayed anymore.
When Ruan Hui and Qiao Qiao returned to Ninghui Pavilion with two children, they were told that the old emperor was here.
Qiao Qiao asked the two children to wash and change their clothes. She was like playing with mud outside the city and was covered in dirty clothes. The couple also cleaned up before taking the dumpling fruit to the front hall.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa, Uncle, we're back!" The two little ones jumped in and rushed into the middle of a bunch of old men to hug them. Everyone was very conscious of not snatching people with the old emperor, and asked him to hug them two by themselves.
"Father."
Ruan Hui and Qiao Qiao saluted the old emperor, and after that, the old man greeted him again in the room.
Why does Qiao Qiao like to stay in the palace? She is the youngest in the room except for two little ones, and she will greet everyone she meets.
"Old Jiu, come here, my good girl."
The old emperor took his eyes off the two little ones. This time he came to deal with his son and daughter-in-law. Seeing that Qiao Qiao had not seen him, he still followed Lao Jiu to call him father. He was much more content, which means that his daughter-in-law was still the original daughter-in-law and had a broad mind.
The two young couple approached as they said, and the old emperor looked back and forth on Qiao Qiao and Guoguo, "Qiao girl, when I first met you, you were not much older than Guoguo. Look, Xiao Qiaoer is several years old."
Hmm, this is a feeling that time is easy to pass, which scares Ruan Hui so much that he thinks his father is going to make things difficult for his daughter-in-law.
"No, my father is probably remembering it wrong. At that time, I was at least seven or eight years old, Guoguo was only three years old, and I was mostly there at that time." Qiao Qiao complained in her heart. Could it be that she was as naive as Guoguo at that time? It's not possible.
"I was seven or eight years old at that time, and now I have been ten years now. Time is so fast."
The old emperor seemed to be nagging with Qiao Qiao, or he was talking to several old men of the Qiao family.
"Isn't it very fast? I lived by the Xiangshui River back then, and Qiaoer was still a crazy girl running all over the mountain." Mr. Chen answered.
"I also planted many acres of high-yield rice at that time." Qiao Jianshan seemed to be recalling.
Just Lao Qiao is very sad. He has no chance to participate in these pasts of his children, grandchildren, and he is very sorry.
"Qiao girl, go find your mother and the others. Lao Jiu is here, we have something to discuss." The old emperor gently pushed the two little ones to Qiao Qiao and asked to take them away.
Qiao Qiao understood that she couldn't listen to what the two little ones said.
He glanced at the two old men and their father, and they nodded slightly and asked her to take the two children out. It would be strange if Qiao Qiao didn't understand yet. This is talking about her wedding with Ruan Hui again. It's like this if you don't get married. What's the difference between one more process? Just one word for tiredness.
By the way, why can’t the heroine listen to the marriage? What a strange thing.
The old emperor actually asked Qiao Qiao to meet Concubine Jiang, hoping that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would make peace and not have a rift.
After walking around the back garden for a while, the three women in front were leading a group of girls wandering around. Qiao Qiao was about to tell the two little ones to chase after them, but the two little ones were already shouting and rushing forward.
"Grandma, grandma, aunt..."
"Wait for us..."
The three people in front turned around together.
"Oh, slow down and don't fall." Chen Lan hugged Guoguo who was rushing towards her.
Concubine Jiang hugged Tuanzi and kissed them all on Xiaotuanzi's face, "Good, grandma misses you."
"Grandma, I miss you too."
"I want to, too."
The two little ones said one by one, so sweet that Concubine Jiang was so sweet that she saw that the child was so close and was not alienated at all. She knew that the Qiao family did not instigate the two children and did not speak bad things to her grandson. She blamed herself for the impulse of beating her daughter-in-law.
"Mother's Concubine." Qiao Qiao stepped forward to salute Concubine Jiang.
"Well, I'm walking around the garden with your mother. It's very beautiful here. Let's have a walk together."
"Two mothers, please take two little ones to visit. Ruan Le and I will sit here for a while." What's the best place to visit in the garden? Only a fool can do this.
Qiao Qiao rescued Ruan Le by the way.
"That's fine, we two old ladies are shopping." Chen Lan knew that her daughter didn't like shopping, so she gave her daughter a step.
The old emperor specially asked Qiao Wu to find Hu Daoba.
"Emperor." Hu Daoba rushed over and felt a little relieved.
"Old Hu, you do your daughter's business. If you don't have a few words, you won't feel sorry for not saying anything? Why are you hiding from me?"
"Hehe..." The stone in Hu Daoba's heart fell down, talking about the marriage means that the matter has been over.
The marriage between Ruan Hui and Qiao Qiao was decided so easily and happily by the two families again. It was scheduled for June and a half. Time was tight, but I had been preparing for it before, so everything was ready, as long as I was there, it was enough.
Next was a banquet. In the next few days, the old man from the Qiao family, Manyun Chu City, took the old emperor on a stroll. Ten days later, except for the old Prince Qiao and Qiao Zhen and his wife, they all returned to Xilin City. Before the wedding, the Qiao family also had to go back to prepare in various ways.
Time is tight, and after Yunchu discussed the day, invitations have been sent to local fast horses, such as big dealers and Tuliao.
Speaking of the big dealer, after Xiao Rui was gone, neither Xiao Da nor Xiao Bin mentioned the matter of becoming a superior. They both took charge of all the government affairs of the big dealer as the prince and the little prince. After Xiao Bin returned to the big dealer from Tuliao City, he and his father had a long discussion on the future direction of the big dealer for a long time. The father and son's decisions were roughly the same.
Xiao Bin was preparing to go to Xilin to congratulate the wedding of the Prince of Nanyue and Princess Yunchu. After he discussed the gift with Xiao Da, he had already prepared some.
When he returned to Xilin, Qiao's mansion was neat, and no one left the girl and the woman, and they all stood by their posts. Qiao Qiao lived back to her two-story building, and everything in the building was still spotless.
The same is true for Hu Dao Scar's mansion. Ruan Hui tried his best to protect him, otherwise, it would be a massacre now.
In the palace and Qiao Mansion, although she had prepared a lot for Ruan Hui and Qiao Qiao's wedding, she still had to catch her and make every preparation. But no matter how busy she was, it had nothing to do with Qiao Qiao. She didn't have to think about anything. Then she put on her wedding dress and she would be finished.
The rule of not allowing people to go out before marriage is not true for Qiao Qiao. She still goes to the first floor every day, even if she stays in her room and stares at Dahui with big eyes, she can stay for a day. She told herself that this is premarital phobia.
Ten days before June 15th, Xiao Bin arrived in Xilin City. As soon as he entered the city, he headed straight to the first floor and moved into his VIP room. Qiao Qiao prepared the West Suite for him on the sixth floor.
"Xiao Bin, just shake your hands and drink my wedding wine?"
"What? I am poor now and have no money to buy gifts."
"You like to give gold before, just dirt, but I don't dislike it anyway, because of the quantity."
"Haha, it's a coincidence that you are still so cute!"
Qiao Qiao and Xiao Bin will always be poor when they meet, but according to Xiao Bin's arrogant personality, how can you just bring your mouth to drink? Gifts must be overwhelming all the guests. Of course, Qiao Qiao was very happy that Xiao Bin was able to come, which means she let it go, and she didn't miss his gift.
"For the sake of your best friend, you can use Xiangru and Fentao in my building during your stay in Xilin City."
Xiangru and Fantao are the two girls who have been with Qiao Qiao for the longest time. Both Qiao Qiao instilled their ideas. They are closest to Qiao Qiao in character and look good. Although they are lingering in the entertainment industry, they are also a person who is not a person. If Xiao Bin can like one of them, it will be considered a blessing for Xiao Bin and a blessing for the girl.
"Okay, that little prince is hugging him from both sides." He rubbed his shoes and lay on the soft couch behind the tea table. Xiao Bin's playful temperament was complete. Seeing that Qiao Qiao was not moving, he urged him again, "Where are you asking for someone? I just finished talking but I was reluctant to let him go?"
"Go and call the two sisters up." Qiao Qiao ordered the maid at the door.
After a while, the cold and quiet Xiangru and the charming and cute pink peach appeared in the West Suite.
"Xiao Bin, you have to be nice to the girls." Qiao Qiao introduced to the two girls again, "This is the only little prince of the big dealer, you have all seen it."
"Fongtao has met the little prince."
"Xiangru has seen the little prince."
After introducing the two girls, Qiao Qiao left the West Suite. Xiao Bin hmmed, and after a while, the music of songs came from it. In the past few days, the music of songs never stopped.
There are two days left before the prince’s wedding day, and Zhao Feng and his son also returned to Xilin City.
Qiao Qiao had almost no contact with the ladies from various prefectures in Xilin City, and there was no mention of having a best friend. The only two best friend became the eldest sister-in-law and the other became the second sister-in-law. What can I do? The rule the night before getting married is to have a few handkerchiefs to accompany him. Qiao Qiao thought of the three talented women, Shuangshuang, Li Xiangru, and Fantao.
The three girls on the first floor got along with Qiao Qiao for the longest time and got along well, especially Shuangshuang. Because of Qiao Qiao's affairs, they are always angry with the eldest princess. Although Zhao Feng fell in love with her later, she also loved Zhao Feng very much, but she always inferior in her identity. Then mention her identity. Qiao Qiao proposed to Qiao Jianshan and Chen Lan that she would become sworn sisters with the three girls. In the future, the three girls were also sisters of the Crown Princess, and no one dared to underestimate her anymore.
In this way, in the small building in the back garden of Qiao Mansion, four girls became sworn brothers in front of the three elders of the Qiao family. After worshiping the elders and ancestors, they cried with joy.
