MTL - The Marquis Is Innocent-Chapter 80

Seeing Madam Xu stunned slightly, Xiao Qiao looked at herself, and said, "I know this is a really unkind request. My husband is now fighting abroad, and my grandmother is very old, and she has been ill for a few days. I should be at home with my grandmother and wait for my husband's triumph. It's just that there is a reason for this. I received a letter from Adi from Dongjun this morning, saying that my aunt was sick and could not afford it for some time. My mother died early, In the past, Aunt Domeng, who was in the Dongjun family's home, treated me like a daughter. My aunt had no children, and only had my elder sister. When I got married last year, something happened to my elder sister, and she was not at home. Now Suddenly knowing that my aunt was sick, I was very worried. So even though I knew I shouldn’t speak, I still begged to my grandmother’s knees. I beg my grandmother to allow me to go home, and when I visit my aunt, I will rush back as soon as possible.”

After Xiao Qiao finished speaking, she looked at Madam Xu with hope in her eyes.

Mrs. Xu looked concerned, and when she finished speaking, she immediately said: "This is normal human feelings, so why is it unkind? I hate the saying of 'marrying a daughter and splashing water'. Cut off the relationship with the mother's family, and the human relationship is safe? You can go, it's fine with me. You can transfer the affairs of the family, and the rest will be explained to the inner management. Leave as soon as possible. "

After pondering for a while, he added: "My only concern is your safety on the road. Fortunately, Youzhou goes south to Jizhou, all under the command of Shao'er, so there will be no obstacles along the way. After leaving Jizhou, I will send a letter to the county. Guard, send the army armor to protect you across the river, and take you straight to Yanzhou. After you visit the sick, come back as soon as possible."

Yanzhou Youzhou, separated by the Yellow River, is far more than a thousand miles away. It was only a year since Xiao Qiao got married. She wanted to go back to her parents' home now, and she knew it was hard to tell her.

It's just that this thought was originally there, and it has been circling in my heart for a long time, and at this time, there was news that my aunt was sick, so I just took the opportunity to bring it up.

Xiao Qiao also knew that when she chose this time, she spoke. With Madam Xu's mastery, even if she was not very happy, she should have allowed it.

I didn't expect her to promise so readily and thoughtfully. In my heart, I inevitably feel guilty for the little thought that I must never let the Wei family know.

However, every time, as long as she thinks of the ending of her previous life that made her have nightmares countless times, and she still does not dare to let go of it, she tells herself that it is not wrong to take precautions.

Grandma is really nice. Plus this time. If she has been alive and well, she should be like a needle-like existence for herself or the Qiao family.

But my grandmother is old after all, and this time, although she knew that she had taken precautions in her previous life, plus a little bit of good luck, she escaped the catastrophe. But she doesn't know what will happen in the future.

In case grandmother is a hundred years old, there will be only one Wei Shao left. Judging based on my experience with him over the past year, once Madam Xu is gone, who knows if he will turn his face in the future, and what will happen if he does?

You can think or do things in a positive and positive direction. But you must not fail to prepare yourself a way back.

No matter how much Wei Shao showed her infatuation on the bed, she would never forget it.

Xiao Qiao showed grateful joy and thanked Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu nodded with a smile: "Go back and pack your bags. I hope your aunt recovers soon, and you come back sooner. I've prepared some things here, you can help me take them and give them to the elders."

The last time Qiao Ci and his party came, the Qiao family prepared generous gifts for Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Zhu. It is normal for Mrs. Xu to return the gift since she wants to go back.

Joey thanks again.

…

busy. Because I was in a hurry to go back to visit the doctor, I didn't pay much attention to it. I prepared for a day. The next day, at the beginning of November, Xiao Qiao said goodbye to Mrs. Xu, took Chunniang away from Yuyang, and went down the southward gallop.

Wei Liang fought with Wei Shao this time. Mrs. Xu chose Tiger Ben Lang to **** Jia Xi with thirty-two people to **** Xiao Qiao on the road. All thirty-two people were selected from the Wei family Hu Ben's personal soldiers, dedicated to the responsibility of guarding, and were extremely trustworthy. After leaving the city, he hurried on the road during the day, and went to the post house at night. It was the same road that Xiao Qiao went north to marry a year ago.

I still remember that the future was unpredictable at the time, and my mood was uneasy. Now suddenly a year has passed. Although it is still unknown how it will be in the future, my mood is quite different from a year ago. After passing through Fan Yang, Renqiu, and Hejian in sequence, seven or eight days later, they entered Jizhou, and after another half-month journey, they arrived at Guangping.

The governor of Guangping County had already received a report from Mrs. Xu's fast horse, and picked up Xiao Qiao and his party to continue escorting them south, and gradually approached the Yellow River Dadu.

At this time, it has been more than half a month, and this place is no longer Wei Shao's territory. The closer to the Yellow River in the hinterland of the Central Plains, due to years of military turmoil, there is no way to compete. If you come today, I will go tomorrow. If the soldiers are thieves, they will scrape the ground three feet after passing by, and the livelihood of the people will become more and more withered. The road is ruined, the fields on both sides are gradually abandoned, and the bones are even exposed in the wild. In addition to the city, sometimes walking for a long time, it is difficult to encounter Jiming Village. Even if there are still people, the rest are only the old, the weak, the sick and the sick.

Compared with what Xiao Qiao saw when he went north last year, it was even more desolate.

Coming out of Youzhou, which is like a peaceful and prosperous age, I saw such a scene of desolation. Although I know that in a chaotic world, it is not strange to see such a situation, but it is still inevitable that I will have some feelings. Until we go further and get closer to Jibei, although these places are also turbulent, the warlords are stalemate in various places. Even if there is war, it will not last for years. recover.

A month later, on this day in early December, Xiao Qiao's group finally entered the situation of Yanzhou.

In the evening of the second day, before arriving in Dongjun, when walking on the road, I saw a group of people carrying the Qiao family flag coming from a distance.

Qiao Ci came to greet her elder sister.

A few days ago, Jia Xi sent a fast horse ahead to deliver news to Dong County, the Zhisuo County in Yanzhou. Qiao Ping received the letter and was ecstatic when he learned that his daughter had unexpectedly returned at this time, so he sent Qiao Ci on the road to greet him.

The siblings finally meet.

This month, the road has been full of dust. Xiao Qiao was not only concerned about the condition of his aunt, Mrs. Ding, but also guessed his father's reaction after receiving his letter. In fact, he was not at ease.

But from the moment he set foot on Yanzhou yesterday, Xiao Qiao's fatigue all the way has been swept away.

Although Qiao Ci had just returned from Yuyang for three or two months, her sister was unexpectedly returning home at the moment, and she was also very happy. In fact, based on his character, I wish my sister would leave her when she came back this time, and it would be better not to go back to Yuyang in the future. The siblings spoke a few words. Xiao Qiao asked Mrs. Ding.

In fact, Xiao Qiao had asked Qiao Ci to take Da Qiao well, and she hoped that her mother would be relieved, and the news that Wukong was worried about her was quietly brought to Mrs. Ding. Knowing that although she has not improved much now, her condition has not deteriorated, but she has been sullen all day, and she is a little relieved.

Because it was getting late, I was in a hurry to go back to the city, and then I went on the road. Qiao Ci actually asked the coachman to get down, took the coachman's seat by himself, and drove the carriage for Xiao Qiao himself.

The journey went smoothly. In the middle of the night, the group entered the city gate of Dongjun and returned home.

The servant handed the news of the arrival of the son and daughter, and Qiao Ping, who was looking forward to it, ran out of the gate to greet him in person.

The moment he saw Xiao Qiao, there seemed to be tears in his daughter's eyes, and he heard her daughter call her "father" in a familiar voice. But in front of the servants, he tried his best not to show it, but just like picking up a baby, he personally picked up his daughter.

Because of the night, the uncle of the eldest house, Qiao Yue, had already rested, and it was even worse to disturb aunt's rest at this hour. It's not too late for Qiao Ping to ask her daughter to visit again tomorrow morning. Although there was a lot to say, I just felt sorry for my daughter's bumps on the road, so she asked her to rest. He personally took her to the door of the former boudoir.

Pushing open the door, Xiao Qiao looked around at the familiar house where she once lived. Seeing that the furnishings inside have not changed at all, even the faded and outdated beauty kite that I personally drew is still hanging on the wall. Slowly moved in my heart, I looked back at my father and thanked him.

When her daughter returned home from a long way, Qiao Ping was in a happy mood and laughed: "Silly girl, what can I thank you for? Even though you are married and are here for your father, why don't you leave a room for you?"

After not seeing him for a year, his father seems to have lost weight again than Xiao Qiao. When he laughs, although his appearance is still handsome and unrestrained, he lives up to the reputation of "Langjun of Dongjun" when he was young, but the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes are also clearer. .

He was indeed less than forty. Originally, when a man was the most attractive and charismatic year, he should have a great ambition, but in order to assist his uncle, he worked tirelessly and worked so hard.

In Yanzhou, Xiao Qiao's uncle, Qiao Yue, inherited the status of the head of the family, held power, mastered the outline, and was responsible for guiding the country with his subordinates. Qiao Ping carried out almost all of the complicated and practical matters, such as collecting grain and paying taxes, people's conditions and people's livelihood, fortification of troops, and so on.

Xiao Qiao felt distressed and couldn't help saying, "Father, pay attention to your body and don't work too hard. I see that you seem to be older than before I left last year."

Qiao Ping looked at his daughter. In the light of the candlelight, seeing her whereabouts is a bit more prominent than in the boudoir before, her face is beautiful, and the last time her son came back from Yuyang, he listened to his words, although his son-in-law Wei Shao was indifferent, It's unknown what happened to her daughter, but the old lady of the Wei family was a very knowledgeable person. Listening to Qiao Ci's words, she seemed to be quite caring for her daughter, so she felt relieved. Seeing her daughter looking at him at the moment, with a concerned expression on her face, she smiled and said, "My father knows. It's my daughter, you are alone over there, and you have to take care of yourself."
