【486】Big Joe and Little Joe

Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan and Sun Quan left Shanting and came to Sun Quan's temporary residence. During this period, Ma Xiaoquan mentioned the matter of sending a letter to Cao Cao. Sun Quan even shamelessly asked him to go with Ma Xiaoquan to see Xiao Qiao...

....

Since the place where Xiao Qiao lives now is quite far away from where Ma Xiaoquan currently lives, and Cao Cao is currently at war with Sun Quan, and the war is tight, although Sun Quan said he wanted to go with Ma Xiaoquan,

But as the leader of Jiangdong, he knows exactly what to do now.

With extremely envious eyes, Sun Quan watched Ma Xiaoquan leave...

The journey was uneventful and without any incident, Ma Xiaoquan arrived at Xiao Qiao's hometown.

Er Qiao's hometown is in the east of Wan County.

As soon as he stepped into Wan County, Ma Xiaoquan was deeply attracted by the scenery here.

In ancient times, Wanxian County was relatively poor, but according to the standards of modern people like Ma Xiaoquan, Wanxian County was a small county with natural scenery.

As a man who has been traveling around for many years, Ma Xiaoquan has seen a lot of beautiful scenery, but Wan County... really shocked Ma Xiaoquan.

It's not that Wan County is so beautiful, it's just that the scenery here gives people a soft beauty, just like the women in southern Anhui, gentle and quiet.

After the death of her husband, Xiao Qiao moved back to her hometown and lived with her father Qiao Lao.

Ma Xiaoquan once asked Sun Quan, and Sun Quan said that the two daughters moved back home because they missed their husband's death, but the fact is... Sun Quan coveted the beauty of Xiao Qiao, and deliberately antagonized his brother Sun Ce's son.

Intentionally done.

Ma Xiaoquan didn't care about so much. This was a family matter, and as an outsider, he had no interest in intervening.

In line with the principle of leaving after sending a love letter to Cao Cao, Ma Xiaoquan knocked on the door of Qiao's house.

The person who opened the door was an old man, who looked like he was sixty or seventy years old. Ma Xiaoquan greeted the old man politely, and then he realized that the old man was Mr. Qiao.

Mr. Qiao is also called Mr. Qiao Guolao, but Mr. Qiao prefers others to call him Mr. Qiao.

Mr. Qiao was also stunned when he saw Ma Xiaoquan.

When Mr. Qiao was young, he was an official of the imperial court and saw many weird things. However, Mr. Qiao was still very surprised by Ma Xiaoquan's appearance and body shape.

Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, pointed to his hair and said, "Mr. Qiao, do you want to ask me about the color of my hair?"

Mr. Qiao shook his head and said: "The color of your hair is brighter than that of Zhongmou, but Zhongmou's eyebrows are not as black as yours."

Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said nothing. The reason why the color of his hair changed was because he had the heart of time in his body. Sun Quan was born with it, so of course there is no comparison.

When Mr. Qiao saw that Ma Xiaoquan was silent, he didn't ask further questions. Ever since he moved back to his hometown, few people came to visit him. Mr. Qiao had been involved in officialdom. Seeing that Ma Xiaoquan was extraordinary, he naturally thought that Ma Xiaoquan was not an ordinary person.

.

"If you don't mind, you can come into the humble abode and let's have a cup of tea. Wouldn't it be nice?"

Ma Xiaoquan nodded. This Mr. Qiao is indeed a mature man. When he saw him, he didn't ask why he came or why. It's amazing! It's amazing!

"Haha, it's better to obey orders than to be respectful, haha..."

After entering the courtyard, Ma Xiaoquan was attracted by the scenery inside the courtyard.

Ma Xiaoquan originally thought that a man of Mr. Qiao's status should decorate the courtyard more grandly, but in fact, in this courtyard, except for a stone round table and four stone piers, there were no other furnishings.

The ground floor of the courtyard is paved with bluestone bricks. Over time, some of the bluestone bricks have cracked.

Although the whole courtyard looks a bit monotonous, it gives people a very simple and elegant feeling.

Ma Xiaoquan looked around several times and couldn't help but clicked his tongue: "Mr. Qiao, you have the status of a national elder, why don't you choose to live in a larger and more comfortable place?"

Mr. Qiao said with a smile: "I am old and have no great pursuit of these things. It's just that my two daughters insist on coming back to live with me, an old man."

Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Well, speaking of Mr. Qiao's daughter, why haven't I seen her?"

Mr. Qiao said with a smile: "Which of my daughters are you looking for when you come here today?"

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "Look for both!"

"Looking for them all?" Mr. Qiao was stunned for a moment and said, "Sir, I'm afraid your words are a bit excessive..."

Ma Xiaoquan said: "Mr. Qiao misunderstood me. I came here to find Er Qiao, but not for me."

"Oh?" Mr. Qiao raised his eyebrows, "Then who are you doing?"

"Cao Cao!"

"Cao Cao?" Mr. Qiao asked in surprise, "Are you a member of Cao Cao?"

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "No!"

"Wait a minute!" Mr. Qiao looked at Ma Xiaoquan and seemed to remember something, so he asked tentatively, "I heard that there was a Ma Family Courtyard in Yecheng, and the then head of the Ma Family Courtyard was an expert.

, the immortal’s surname is Ma and his given name is Xiaoquan. It is said that the officials and people in Yecheng call him Lord Shangxian... May I ask your Excellency, are you related to that Lord Shangxian? "

Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, stretched out his right hand, and concentrated a little, a light red flame immediately ignited in the palm of his right hand.

"This..." Mr. Qiao looked at the flame in Ma Xiaoquan's hand and was stunned.

Ma Xiaoquan extinguished the flames in his palms and said slowly: "Uh, me... um... I didn't expect that I'm so famous, hehe..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the source in his left eye suddenly said: "Ma Xiaoquan, do you dare to pretend to be more serious?"

...

A "crash" sound suddenly sounded not far from Ma Xiaoquan and Mr. Qiao.

Mr. Qiao came back to his senses and looked towards the place where the sound came from. He couldn't help frowning and scolded: "What a shame!"

Ma Xiaoquan also turned around and saw a stunning woman.

The woman has pink Emei Emei, a slim figure, and her facial features are unique to Jiangnan women.

Ma Xiaoquan looked at the woman and couldn't help being stunned.

On the other hand, the woman didn't feel nervous at all, although the teacup and teapot in her hand had fallen to the ground and shattered.

The woman stood tall and graceful and looked at Ma Xiaoquan, but her eyes were a little hollow.

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and asked, "Are you Da Qiao or Xiao Qiao?"

The woman opened her eyes wide and looked at Ma Xiaoquan. After a while, she said tremblingly: "Xiao Qiao..."

"Wow" Ma Xiaoquan couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard Xiao Qiao's voice.

Although Xiao Qiao only said two words, Ma Xiaoquan's heart was severely shaken.

Such a beautiful voice is rare to hear in this world.

"Gulu" Ma Xiaoquan swallowed and asked, "Where is your sister?"

Xiao Qiao shook his head.

Ma Xiaoquan turned back to look at Mr. Qiao. Seeing that Mr. Qiao was still in a daze, he couldn't help but step forward and pat him gently.

"Oh, uh," Mr. Qiao hummed a few times after being photographed by Ma Xiaoquan, and his face turned red.

Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "Don't panic, Mr. Qiao. I'm here just to represent Xiao Cao. Oh, Cao Cao is sending two letters to your daughter. Of course, I can give them to you, and you can read them too!

"

After saying that, Ma Xiaoquan took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Mr. Qiao.

Mr. Qiao took the letter and hesitated whether to open it in front of Ma Xiaoquan. After thinking for a while, Mr. Qiao decided to give the letter to his two daughters.

"Xuanshuang, come here!"

Xiao Qiao hummed softly and walked over timidly.

Mr. Qiao handed one of the letters to Xiao Qiao and said, "Cao Cao gave this to you. Take a look at it. By the way, call your sister here after reading it."

Xiao Qiao said "oh" and took the letter, but did not open it to read it in front of his father.

She took a small step back, saluted her father and Ma Xiaoquan, then turned and left.

After a while, Xiao Qiao and her sister got up.

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao have somewhat different looks and temperaments. Da Qiao is more mature than his younger sister.

While Ma Xiaoquan marveled at Da Qiao's appearance, he also couldn't help but secretly sigh at the miserable woman in front of him.

She was widowed at a young age, and she was such a beautiful character woman. Anyone who left her would feel distressed.

Old Qiao handed another letter to Da Qiao and said, "This is from Cao Cao to you."

"For me?" Da Qiao was not as restrained as Xiao Qiao and asked his father, "Cao Cao wrote to me? Father, why?"

Mr. Qiao looked at Ma Xiaoquan and said, "You can ask this... er, it should be Master Shangxian..."

"Master Shangxian?" Da Qiao looked at Ma Xiaoquan with wide eyes, "Dad, is this... the Master Shangxian Zhongmou mentioned?"

Mr. Qiao nodded.

"Oh, great, I finally meet the Supreme Immortal!"

Da Qiao said and jumped up happily. Her current behavior did not look like a woman over thirty years old at all.

Xiao Qiao is much more stable than her sister. Seeing his father nodding in confirmation, Xiao Qiao was quite excited.

She had heard her husband Zhou Yu talk about Ma Xiaoquan, the Great Immortal, and had seen him from a distance, but she was in such a hurry that Xiao Qiao could not see clearly.

It's fine now. Seeing Master Shangxian at such a close distance made Xiao Qiao feel a surge of emotion in his heart.
