Qiao Rui's body trembled, and now she understood what Chen meant. Originally, she wanted to marry Qiao Wei to the Yuan family, and she also dreamed of becoming a relative of the emperor.

A few years ago, Mrs. Chen had vaguely mentioned to Qiao Rui that among Yuan Shu's ministers, there were only two daughters from the Qiao family, who were not much different in age from Yuan Yao, and that they might be able to get married in the future.

At that time, because Qiao Rui's children were young and the Yuan family was so powerful, it was very likely that the marriage would be completed within the family, and it was unlikely that he would marry the daughter of a general's family. Unexpectedly, the Chen family actually mentioned it again.

"Madam, it's better not to think about it. Your hometown is also Runan. You should know, but it is too far away from the Yuan family, so we are not qualified." Qiao Rui waved her hand.

"Our daughter is beautiful and fragrant. Master Yao will definitely like it. Wei'er will have hairpins next year, and her age is just right. The general has to go and fight for it. The lord relies on you so much, what if he agrees?" Chen said expectantly.

Watch the bridge.

Qiao Rui smiled bitterly and said: "What's the use of relying on me? What about the beauty of my daughter? Even if Lu Bu's daughter seems to have no salt, the lord will not hesitate to choose the latter, because the other party is a feudal lord from one side, and her husband is just a subordinate.

That's all..."

"What should we do? Wei'er is about to get married, and none of the civil and military officers at the same level as the generals in Shouchun have unmarried men of the right age. We can't find someone worse, right?" Chen frowned.

"There's nothing wrong with it." Qiao Rui shook his head, indicating that he didn't care.

Chen said sternly: "We are of the same family. This has been the case since ancient times. Wei'er cannot marry into the Yuan family, nor can she condescend to marry."

Qiao Rui nodded in response: "You have your own concerns about your husband, and the daughter of the Qiao family doesn't have to worry about getting married."

"General, just like Long Xiang, no matter how talented he is, he is our retainer and is not even qualified to recruit a wife." Chen reminded in a deep voice.

Qiao Rui didn't think much about it at all, so she said casually: "I understand, husband, we will talk about this later."

Chen thought for a moment and then said: "When Sun Bofu captured Lujiang, I persuaded the general to find someone to find a matchmaker. It is difficult to find a young hero with such an equal family background, but the general hesitated again and again, so Wu Jing was asked to find someone to rob him.

First."

"The reason why I am hesitant as a husband is not because the Sun family has a lot of background. If I marry my daughter to Sun Ce, there is no guarantee that my lord will not be suspicious. Besides, Wei'er was still young at that time..." Qiao Rui said and patted the robe on the stand.

He got up and planned to find someone to propose a marriage plan to Yuan Shu.

"Kewei'er is fourteen years old now. We need to make plans early. Where is the general going now?" Seeing Qiao Rui getting up as if to leave, Mrs. Chen asked eagerly.

"My lord asked me to wait for the afternoon discussion. It's almost time now. There's no need to worry about Wei'er. If you don't have any suitable ones, just keep them at home. Our Qiao family is not short of rice." Qiao Rui raised her hand after speaking and walked out in stride.

Flower Hall.

Mrs. Chen looked at Qiao Rui's back, with a hint of bitterness on her delicate face.

What's the use of not lacking rice? If she can't get married, she will become an old girl? What's more, Qiao Wan is only one year younger, which will be twice as troublesome.

Qiao Rui had just left, and Ms. Chen also walked back to the back house. When she passed the corridor in the backyard, she unexpectedly found her three children sitting at the stone table under the pavilion, chatting.

Mrs. Chen walked over lightly, only to find that several people were actually discussing Long Xiang.

"Eldest sister, second sister, have you noticed that Long Xiang has changed so much that his length is almost close to that of his father."

"I'm already sixteen. It's normal to have such a head. The other third brother, I heard that you were scolded by your father for being rude in the flower hall just now, right? How come you're neither older nor younger? Since my father gave him his first name,

We can't call him by his first name."

"He's not in front of me, why did the second sister hit me on the head again..."

"So what if I grow taller? I'm just the son of Hōto. He might be gone one day."

"Sister, you can't say that. I just asked Guard Li, Long Xiang... Yunqi, he was assigned to the rear army by his father. He was always the last one to go on the field. Most of the time, he led the team to clean up the battlefield and wanted to die in battle.

It’s not easy, and this person..."

"How is he?"

"Li Weiwei said that he was lazy and timid, and often tried to lead his troops to avoid battles. Therefore, the troops he commanded suffered zero casualties and zero military achievements in several battles in Xuzhou. They didn't even receive any wine these days.

..”

"No wonder I drank so fast today. It turned out that I wanted to make up for it at the table. How can this guy Long Xiang be so cunning? He stayed in our house for two years in vain and his father's face was completely embarrassed."

"Sister, you didn't say my cousin just now, and you also..."

"Third brother, stop talking nonsense. A coward is not worthy of being called a coward."

"Sister, don't get excited. Since Long Yunqi is so miserable, why would my father invite him to the banquet? The two of them drank frequently at the banquet. Isn't this contrary to common sense?"

"Eldest sister, second sister is right."

"Perhaps his father felt pity for him and thought of his father's contribution to sacrifice, otherwise how could he..."

"I don't think so. Long Yunqi looked very good just now. He was so heroic when he had a drink with his father. This kind of momentum does not look like a cowardly person at all. And has the eldest sister noticed that not only is he more cheerful than a year ago, but also

It looks more pleasing to the eye."

"Is there any?"

"Eldest sister, second sister is right. He used to lower his head every day, and I never saw him smiling. If his voice hadn't been like that, I would have suspected it wasn't Long Xiang... Yunqi."

"The more you talk about it, the more mysterious it becomes. I guess this person has adapted to life in the camp, but he is just a Guizhou leader after all."

...

The three siblings took Long Xiang as the topic and sat under the pavilion to have a heated discussion. After listening for a while, Mrs. Chen shook her head and walked away.

The two daughters are similar in appearance and height, but have completely different personalities. The eldest daughter Qiao Wei is very much like her mother Chen, while the second daughter Qiao Wan seems to be smarter and smarter.

Mrs. Chen walked to the corner of the corridor, turned around and glanced at the small pavilion in the courtyard. She thought that Wan'er had so many thoughts, she would be very tired in the future, right? After all, the smarter she is, the more troubles she has.

The cicadas were chirping in the summer, and they were regarded as a topic of conversation. At first, he pretended to be drunk in the Qiao Mansion Flower Hall, and then had to work hard to pretend to be asleep when he returned to the barracks.

There is no other way. In order to keep his character intact, Long Xiang must persevere.

Closing his eyes and lying on the bed, Long Xiang complained about how his former self had offended the Qiao family's mother and daughter. He also thought that he would have to avoid it as much as possible in the future. As long as they didn't meet, there would be no worries. In fact, he didn't know the crux of the problem, the Qiao family's mother and daughter.

It’s not that the woman hates Long Xiang, she just dislikes his origin.

Long Xiang was a civil servant in his previous life, and pragmatism was his principle in life and work. He was very surprised when he saw Xiao Qiao just now, but because he was too rational, he didn't have much trouble.

When Long Xiang was in college, there were very few girls in the class. What was ridiculous was that the only three "dinosaurs" were also popular among the boys in the school, mainly because things are rare and valuable.

It was even worse after joining the workforce. Almost all the people working on the construction site were men. The only few lesbians were the wives brought by the workers. They either worked for their husbands or cooked on the construction site, and they were all aunt-level in age.

Maybe it was because he had been away from the city for too long and had seen too few women. Long Xiang had seen the cooking aunt for a while, and she felt that she had a pretty face.

Later, the media appeared and saved the majority of civil engineering workers. The singing and dancing Yun girlfriends in various apps were the stuff of dreams for the workers at night.
