Chapter 141: The evil deeds of an unfaithful son lead to marriage
Qiao Wei suddenly appeared from behind the screen wall, and Long Xiang paused with surprise on his face.
"Miss, is something wrong?"
"Give."
Qiao Wei held a pouch in both hands, tilted her head slightly and handed it to Long Xiang in front of her.
Long Xiang finally knew why she was walking with her hands behind her back, as if she was hiding something behind her.
Long Xiang looked at it but did not dare to answer, but asked curiously: "What are you?"
"There were a lot of scraps left over from the cloth that was delivered a few days ago. I took the time to sew a small pouch. My third brother said that you are often busy outside, so you can use this pouch to hold sweat towels and other small items."
"I'm afraid this is inappropriate."
"I already understand your intentions. If you fight Sun Ce in the future, you must go all out and deal with it carefully. If the disparity in strength leads to the city being destroyed, I would rather die than be humiliated. Keep the little bag."
After Qiao Wei finished speaking coquettishly, she suddenly slapped the pouch on Long Xiang's chest and then 'ran away' from the side, covering her hot face.
When Long Xiang came to his senses, he held the pouch in his hand and looked around, but Qiao Wei could no longer be seen.
The pouch given by Qiaowei is about the size of a palm. People with good conditions have the habit of wearing pouches. The pouches are often filled with towels, coins and other small items.
Long Xiang once saw Qiaowei wearing a pouch in Shouchun. He held the mouth of the pouch and turned it over to look at it. He found that Qiaowei's embroidery work was quite good and there was a tiger head pattern on the back of the pouch.
What do you mean? Forget it, I’ll ask again later.
Long Xiang hurriedly went to the front to discuss matters, so he imitated the way of wearing a bridge, tied the pouch to the leather belt on his left waist, strode forward and disappeared behind the screen wall.
Qiao Miao, who was secretly observing, covered his mouth and swallowed saliva, thinking that the eldest sister was indeed the eldest sister.
This kind of courage can't be learned by others, so why do you still say that you don't have the heart to secretly promise?
Qiao Wan wanted to turn around and go back, but remembering Mrs. Chen's instructions, he patted the dust on his robe and went to the front hall.
At this time, mother and daughter were sitting face to face in Chen's bedroom. Qiao Wan, who was always lively and bright, lowered her head and waited silently for the 'answer to be announced'.
The eldest sister is replaced by Yuan Shu's daughter, which at least gives her more hope and choices, but she is obviously not very lucky.
When Qiao Wan was thinking wildly, Chen's question started the conversation first.
"Xiaowan, what do you think of Yunqi?"
“Pretty good”
"Um"
Qiao Wan and Qiao Min had a good impression of Long Xiang. Chen was not surprised by her daughter's answer. She nodded slightly in affirmation and suddenly asked seriously: "Zhou Yu comes from a good family and is both talented and beautiful. Do you think Xiao Wan can trust him for the rest of his life?"
"
"On major marriage matters, the mother has the final say, so why bother asking your daughter for her opinion?"
Qiao Wan answered calmly. She thought the answer was already clear. She should marry Zhou Yu as a concubine.
Mrs. Chen frowned and shook her head: "Zhou Yu's conditions are good, but it's a pity that he is Sun Ce's general. Sister You has such a strong personality, I'm worried that she won't be willing."
"What? Sister? With Zhou Yu? No."
Qiao Wan stood up in shock, with an expression of disbelief on her face.
"Don't be surprised, be careful if Xiaowei hears it."
Mrs. Chen looked out the window and waved for Qiao Wan to sit down: "What I originally meant was that since your sister wants to be a concubine, it's best to find someone with a high status. Sun Ce is now the lord of Jiangdong, and even more so Zhou Yu.
My lord, Xiaowei will be the mistress of Zhou Yu if she marries him, but Yunqi says that Sun Ce is short-lived and suggests that if she wants to marry, she should marry Zhou Yu and let Yuan Shu's daughter marry Sun Ce."
"No. Mother, please wait a moment. I'm a little confused."
Qiao Wan rubbed her temples with both hands.
Chen asked with concern: "What's wrong?"
"I'm fine"
Qiao Wan shook her little hand and then asked: "Daughter just thought about it, what mother just meant was that Long Yunqi asked Yuan Shu's daughter to marry Sun Ce, and suggested that the eldest sister marry Zhou Yu?"
"Yes, do you have a different opinion?" Mrs. Chen raised her eyes.
After Qiao Wan shook her head in denial, she pointed at herself: "What about me?"
"Of course I want to marry Yunqi, don't you think it's a good idea?"
Qiao Wan has been smart since she was a child. Mrs. Chen thought she was very smart, but she didn't expect that she would also be confused when it came to marriage.
Qiao Wan didn't react for a moment, but still asked stupidly: "Yuan Shu's daughter is used as a replacement."
"I'll replace you, what's wrong with Xiaowan today? Why do you feel so dull?"
Chen shook his head and pursed his lips, then added: "Yun Qi has really worked hard for you, and it is even more rare for two people to be happy. It would be great if this matter could be resolved satisfactorily. I hope Sun Ce really came here to take a concubine."
"Long Yunqi never noticed that I was interested in him before."
After realizing this, Qiao Wan blushed, thinking that it was Qiao Wan who had misrepresented the news.
But not long after she was happy, she suddenly stood up in shock: "It's broken."
"What's broken?"
"The third brother just now"
Qiao Wan told Mrs. Chen word for word what had just been communicated, and said that Qiao Wei had already misunderstood.
Mrs. Chen was silent for a long time and murmured: "It's all the bad things of this traitor. He doesn't listen and just tells you nonsense. How should this end?"
"The eldest sister is capable and skilled in embroidery. When my mother was sick, she kept the house in order. How can she, a proud person, accept this reality? And she obviously has a crush on Long Xiang."
"I'm worried too."
Because Qiao Wan is the second daughter of the Qiao family, she does not have to bear the pressure of being an eldest sister. She has been daring to love and hate since she was a child. If Long Xiang had no intention of Qiao Wan, she would certainly not fight with Qiao Wei, but now the situation has changed.
Qiao Wan will never wrong herself and give her happiness to her sister.
Although they became 'love rivals' inexplicably, sisters Qiao Wan and Qiao Wei are deeply in love. At this time, they are also worried about their proud sister. It doesn't matter if they both become concubines. The psychological gap between one wife and one concubine is really too big.
"Mother, second sister, where are you?"
When the two people in the house had no clue, Qiao Wei's call suddenly came from the courtyard.
The sound was like the chirping of spring birds, crisp and cheerful.
Ms. Chen was very experienced and knew immediately that the trouble was serious. She lowered her head and told Qiao Wan: "Don't tell your eldest sister about this in advance. I have to think about countermeasures. If it doesn't work, I will go to the front at night."
Qiao Wan hurriedly interrupted: "Mom, it's best not to disturb her. Yun Qi may not have time to talk about this tonight."
"What's the meaning?"
"Those who have achieved great things since ancient times will not fall into beauty. Sun Ce can sweep across Jiangdong, which is definitely not comparable to Zheng Bao and Cai Ji. My daughter is worried that he may not only take concubines."
"You mean that we need to be reminded more?"
"When Mr. Zijing and others are here, why do we women need to remind them?"
"That's right."
While the two were talking, Qiao Wei walked into the bedroom and listened half-heartedly, so she asked with a smile: "What's wrong with Mr. Zijing?"
"I originally wanted to remind Yun Qi to be careful about Sun Ce's plans to plot Hefei. Xiao Wan said that since Mr. Zijing is there, we don't need to bother him."
Mrs. Chen stood up to greet Qiao Wei. When she saw that Qiao Wei was carrying a small basket on her arm, she immediately changed the subject and asked, "Xiao Wei, what are you doing?"
"The chrysanthemums are in full bloom in the garden. I want to pick some and bring them back, dry them and soak them in water for drinking. Second sister, will you come?"
Qiao Wei didn't know the real situation and planned to comfort Qiao Wan by picking chrysanthemums.
Qiao Wan glanced at Mrs. Chen and immediately nodded in agreement: "If the eldest sister is interested, the younger sister will take care of herself."
