Chapter 373
After Sun Ce's wedding, Wang Lei, who was in a hurry to return, did not mention the matter of leaving at all.
When Wang Lei stayed, Sun Ce would naturally not take the initiative to chase people. On the contrary, Sun Ce hoped that Wang Lei would stay for more days, and the two sides would communicate more and enhance their relationship. According to the strategy agreed by Sun Ce, Cheng Pu, Wu Jing and others, Wang Lei could not give Sun Ce support in a short period of time, but from a long-term perspective, it would be absolutely beneficial for Sun Ce's development to bring the relationship closer to each other.
Liu Yao, Lu Kang and others who participated in Sun Ce's wedding left one after another, but Qiao Xuan did not leave and stayed in Qu'a. From time to time, Wang Lei was invited to be a guest, so that Wang Lei and Da Qiao were familiar with each other.
On this day, Qiao Xuan came to the inn alone.
Wang Lei cannot neglect his father-in-law Qiao Xuan, so he went out to greet him in person.
This action made Qiao Xuan feel happy.
The two of them sat down in the room. Qiao Xuan said straight to the point: "Zigu, I am here to say goodbye." Da Qiao and Wang Lei made a marriage contract. Qiao Xuan regarded himself as his father-in-law, and his name also changed.
Wang Lei asked: "Does Mr. Qiao plan to return to Lujiang?"
Qiao Xuan nodded and said, "After Sun Ce's marriage, I have been staying in Qu'a for ten days, and it's time to return to Lujiang. Da Qiao and Zi were considered by me to have a fixed marriage. If Da Qiao followed me to Lujiang and Zigu returned to Chang'an, one in the south and one in the north, it would be too cruel to you. I plan to let Da Qiao and Zigu go north together, what do you think?"
Wang Lei frowned and said, "Mr. Qiao, if Da Qiao went north alone, would he get used to it? After all, Da Qiao is only twelve years old and is still a little girl. It is difficult to adapt to the lonely person in Jizhou."
Qiao Xuan's heart skipped a beat and asked, "Do Zigu want Da Qiao to stay in Lujiang?"
Wang Lei said: "That's not what he meant!"
Qiao Xuan immediately asked, "What are some good suggestions do you have?"
Wang Lei said: "I have an idea about Da Qiao's arrangement. Why not let Da Qiao return to Lujiang with you? After Qiao Gong returns, he will handle the family affairs well, and then take his family north together and live directly to Jizhou. With his family's company, Da Qiao will not be alone."
Wang Lei’s purpose was clearly to take the Qiao family into slaughter and move the family to Ye County.
However, Qiao Xuan's eyes lit up. For the Qiao family, this was a great opportunity. The Qiao family is a prominent family in Lujiang County, but no one in the Qiao family has become an official and has no deep foundation.
Moved away, it didn't have much impact.
Instead, I went to Jizhou. With the relationship between Da Qiao and Wang Lei, the Qiao family will definitely gain a foothold in Jizhou.
For a moment, Qiao Xuan's heart was filled with joy.
After all, Qiao Xuan was the head of the family. Instead of being complacent, he frowned and said worriedly: "If the Qiao family goes to Jizhou, it is difficult to integrate into the place without knowing each other. After all, we are people from the south and are easily excluded."
Wang Lei said in his heart: "With me here, who dares to exclude you and curry favor with you is almost the same."
The expectant father-in-law in front of him clearly did this on purpose.
Wang Lei didn't care about Qiao Xuan's pretending behavior and said, "This matter is simple. I will arrange it after Gong Qiao arrives in Ye County. At that time, let the Qiao family gain a foothold in Ye County."
Qiao Xuan took the land to the donkey and said, "Okay, okay, it's causing trouble for Zigu."
"From your attitude, how can you make me feel guilty?" Wang Lei thought to himself, his face still had a strong smile. He changed his tone and asked, "When will Mr. Qiao leave?"
Qiao Xuan said, "After returning to the inn, set off and leave."
Wang Lei smiled and said, "I'll give Mr. Qiao a ride!" Qiao Xuan raised a smile on his lips, nodded quickly, and stood up to say goodbye. Wang Lei and Qiao Xuan left the inn and headed to the inn where Qiao Xuan lived.
When he arrived at the inn, Qiao Xuan asked Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao to receive Wang Lei, and he went to pack his luggage.
When Da Qiao saw Wang Lei, she looked shy and felt a little embarrassed. Instead, Xiao Qiao, who was a little younger, stared at Wang Lei like a curious baby, stared at Wang Lei and nodded one after another. She stood behind Da Qiao, leaned forward with her ears, and whispered: "Sister, my future brother-in-law will be tall and mighty in the future, and she will be a master at first glance. However, there is a little bit of flesh on her face, and it feels a bit chubby, which affects her beauty."
Da Qiao glared at Xiao Qiao, but unfortunately, the little girl smiled and didn't care.
Wang Lei was not far from Da Qiao and heard Xiao Qiao clearly.
After saying this, Wang Lei couldn't help but twitch his lips. This little girl is really good at speaking!
Da Qiao said apologetically: "Young Master, Xiao Qiao is ignorant and has no scruples in her words, don't take it to heart." Her tone was gentle, and although she did not have the temptation of mature style in her behavior, she was dignified and elegant, which made people feel good.
Xiao Qiao snorted and immediately retorted: "Sister, I'm seven months younger than you, so where is it younger? Humph, although you are older than me, if you look carefully, I'm a little taller than you."
As he spoke, the little girl stood up with a very small breast.
Wang Lei almost spit out the tea in his mouth. Xiao Qiao did not look like a lady who would marry Zhou Yu in later generations.
His behavior and words were clearly a little witch.
Wang Lei talked to Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao in a mess. With Wang Lei's knowledge and ability to please, he easily made the two women smile. Not long after, Qiao Xuan and his wife packed up their greetings and walked out. Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "The carriage has been prepared outside the inn, so Zigu doesn't have to send it far away. However, I have a reluctant invitation!"
Wang Lei said: "Mr. Qiao, please tell me!"
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "It's a pity to see Zigu this time, I didn't get a single word."
Wang Lei's heart skipped a beat. This prospective father-in-law is really difficult! However, when Wang Lei saw Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao's expectant expressions, he suppressed his helplessness and said, "Mr. Qiao is preparing a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, I will write a picture of it."
"good!"
Qiao Xuan stroked his beard and smiled, and immediately asked the accompanying servant to prepare.
Soon, there was a pen, ink, paper and inkstone ready. Wang Lei picked up his pen and his eyes fell on Da Qiao. Looking at him, Da Qiao's eyes shyly avoided, and did not dare to look at Wang Lei's gaze.
In an instant, Wang Lei had an idea in his mind.
Wang Lei had a faint smile on his face, and he lifted his pen and wrote:
"Phoenix Seeking a Phoenix"
The phoenix returns to my hometown and travels around the world to seek its phoenix.
I haven’t met you at the time and I have no one to go to this hall now!
There is a beautiful lady in the boudoir, and the room is close to me and I am poisoned.
Why do we meet the necks of mandarin ducks? Hu Jie is flying together!
The phoenix is like a phoenix and a phoenix live from me, and I will be my concubine forever.
Friendship and harmony, who knows each other in the middle of the night?
Both wings rose and flew high, and my thoughts made me sad.
A poem "The Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" was written in full. This is a poem by Sima Xiangru. Wang Lei used it to use it. It was very sensational. Since Wang Lei and Da Qiao have made a marriage contract, they naturally hope to get along well with Da Qiao and be able to play the piano and zither in the future.
There are never too many opportunities to enhance feelings.
Wang Lei glanced at the little lolita Da Qiao. The little lolita's face was full of blushing and her eyes were flashing.
Obviously, I also like Sima Xiangru's poems.
Qiao Xuan looked at the "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" written by Wang Lei, and looked at the words on it, and there was endless like in his eyes. Wang Lei's font is indeed strong and powerful, with a majestic artistic conception everywhere. Unfortunately, this poem made Qiao Xuan feel tricky. This was not for him, but for Da Qiao. Qiao Xuan took a deep breath, carried forward his shameless kung fu, and said with a smile: "Da Qiao, Zigu's calligraphy is temporarily taken for you for your father. When we return to Lujiang, we will give it to you for your father."
Da Qiao said softly: "Everything follows my father's opinion!"
As a person who grew up in a family of scholars, Da Qiao is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and he also loves Wang Lei's calligraphy very much. However, after Qiao Xuan said that Da Qiao could only agree.
Qiao Xuan put away his words and took his family out of the inn, got on the carriage, and the group said goodbye to Wang Lei.
Wang Lei watched Da Qiao and others leave and returned to his residence.
Qiao Xuan left Qu'a, and Wang Lei stayed for so many days after Sun Ce got married. He was ready for everything and it was time to set off to return to Chang'an.
