When they woke up the next day, everyone knew that Father Qiao had made a decision.
No matter what kind of past relationship, it is no bigger than a filial piety.
They were probably aware of this outcome, so Lan was not surprised. Qiao Mingjin, Ming Jue and others also chose to remain silent.
No matter what father Qiao decides to do, it is not something they can comment on. There is nothing good about going back, and there is nothing wrong with him. He is a little curious about our family and the place in Yizhou, but that's all.
After all, it was too far away from them. The five of them were all born and raised in Qingchuan.
Ding Er and his son, who were arranged to sleep in the guest room, were overjoyed when they got the news.
Although the Qiao family has not built a new house now, the house has been simply renovated. Two additional rooms have also been built. Yesterday, his father and son were arranged to live in the adjacent rooms.
Originally, the two uncles of the Yun family had strongly invited them to live with the Yun family. After the Yun family's life became better, they built a brand new courtyard early with clear windows, so it was easy to arrange for the father and son.
But Mr. Ding Er declined.
My young master and his wife live in such a house, how dare they dare to be picky?
Besides, the life their family lived in Zhuangzi a few years ago was not much better than the Qiao family today.
After Ding Er and his son got the news that Qiao's father was going back to Yizhou with his family, they were so happy that they walked around in circles in the yard.
Originally, Ding Er was thinking of all kinds of things, preparing for an emotional offensive, flooding the golden mountain, etc. Ding Youfu also gave his father a lot of ideas, but he didn't expect that these would be used.
Only yesterday, some in-laws of the Yun family talked about the future of the two young masters, and told them that they must return to Yizhou to observe their filial piety to their grandfather. The eldest young master made up his mind.
The eldest young master must still be worried about it.
When he was young, the eldest son was regarded as a child prodigy in Yizhou. Even the masters who were appointed officials in Beijing wanted to take him to Beijing to study.
"Master, madam, I will go to Qingchuan City to find a more reputable escort agency, hire a few carriages, and buy some boxes and cages. The weather is getting colder as we go north. I have to rush back to Yizhou before it snows.
, we have to leave early!”
As Ding Er said this, he wanted to turn around and hitch the horse.
The life of the eldest young master's family is too hard. The Qiao family's original family in Yizhou is a family that has a lot of food. The accumulation of several generations cannot be enjoyed by the legitimate sons and grandsons, but it can be enjoyed by those who have nothing to do with it.
In the old house of Zhou, people are gesticulating and giving orders.
Ding Er wished that the eldest young master and his family would leave immediately so that they could go back and suppress the arrogance of those people.
"Si Mo..." Father Qiao bit his tongue as soon as he spoke.
He seemed to be used to calling him the name Si Mo.
"Young Master." Ding Er hurriedly bowed and stood up.
This name also records the best years between him and the eldest young master.
Father Qiao cleared his throat and said, "Ding Er, don't be in a hurry right now. This trip is just to go to Yizhou to observe filial piety, and we will discuss other things later. Don't make a big deal about it yet."
Ding Er's eyes darkened. He glanced at Lan's side again, and when he saw Lan's calm expression, he sighed secretly.
The madam and the eldest young master must have been disappointed in Yizhou, so they did not want to return home.
Ding Er thought for a while and said: "Young master, even if you go back this time just to observe mourning, you will have to go out next year. I'm afraid I will have to stay in Yizhou for a long time, and I'm afraid I will have to bring a lot of things.
. Furthermore, the carriage, horse, and bodyguards must also be arranged. There are only two of us, father and son. If something goes wrong on the road, we are afraid of death. Besides, we must prepare boxes and cages."
Father Qiao glanced at Lan, who looked at each other, then turned to Ding Er and said, "You are very considerate, so go ahead and prepare."
"Yes, madam. The younger one is keeping Fu Fu, for fear that madam and young master will use him."
After hearing this, Mrs. Lan said: "No need. There is nothing going on at home. The in-laws are also there, and there are plenty of people to help. You can take Youfu to the city to make arrangements. You can stay there for the whole day, and there is no need to rush back.
"
"Yes, ma'am."
After receiving the order, the father and son harnessed their horses and entered the city.
As for Father Qiao, after Ding Er and his son left, he gathered the whole family together again and made his decision.
"Your mother and I, as well as you, are saying that it's okay if we don't know. Now that we know the news about your grandfather's death, our family also got the news about us. I'm afraid it would be a bad idea not to go back."
Mingjue said: "Dad, we all listen to you. Just make your decision."
Father Qiao looked at his eldest son and nodded happily.
After scanning the children in the main room, he saw Qiao Mingjin sitting on a chair holding Wan'er, and her granddaughter Wan'er looking at him with her big eyes shining brightly.
Father Qiao felt sour.
If she were still in the family, how could his eldest daughter have reached this stage? No matter how miserable he was, he didn't want Wan'er to have a broken home like him.
I also looked at the other children sitting here. Except for Mingyu, who was already engaged, the other children might be able to make a good choice. Especially the marriage of the eldest son Mingjue, we must be cautious. Maybe this trip back will be a good idea.
Not a bad thing.
After thinking for a while, he said: "It is necessary for us to go back to Yizhou this time. As for where to live in the future, we have to wait until we return to Yizhou to decide. I have discussed it with your mother. If we stay in Yizhou
We are not used to living there, so our family is coming back. Besides, your maternal grandfather’s family is also here. After all, Yizhou is a bit far away, and it is inconvenient to visit relatives.”
Mingjue and others nodded after hearing this.
They don't know what Yizhou is like. They only went as far as Qingchuan after their family life became better. How do they know where Yizhou is? What is it like?
Qiao's father glanced at Qiao Mingjin and said: "Mother Jin, you can go back with your father this time. You have never seen your grandfather since you were born, and you just happened to pay homage to his grave. As for the future, I
We have agreed with your mother that no matter where our family lives in the future, you will stay with us. Your grandmother will not worry about you the most. Even if our family wants to live in Yizhou in the future, you will stay with us in Yizhou.
Yizhou. Your son-in-law can still live a good life. Besides, he said that the family will be separated after the new year. From now on, you can live a quiet life with him in Yizhou for a few years. Even if your son-in-law has other ideas in the future, you can discuss it again. Short-term
Let’s do this for now. Stay far away from that family, maybe we can clear the clouds and see the sun in the future.”
Lan nodded after hearing this, took Qiao Mingjin's hand and said, "What your father said is exactly what grandma wanted to say to you. Grandma is old and may not have a few more years to live, so she should stay with her.
After leaving grandma, grandma can't let you go in her heart. Like your parents, I don't agree with your idea. Wan'er will get married eventually, and you won't have anyone who knows what's cool and what's hot in the future. What should we do?
Don't worry? Come with us back to Yizhou first and leave a letter to Yue. If he wants a wife and daughter, he wants to find you. There is our family in Yizhou, where can he not find a job? If he wants to stay
I will take care of his parents, and my grandma will make the decision for you. If we leave him and find another one, we might be able to live a better life."
After hearing this, Mother Qiao also advised her, the whole family was going back to their original family, how could they just leave the eldest daughter alone?
Mingjue, Mingheng and others kept trying to persuade her. Mingheng and Mingqi even ran over to hold her hand, telling her that if she didn't go with them, they would stay and help her chop wood and raise chickens.
Qiao Mingjin was moved for a while after hearing this.
She is a married girl, so she has nothing to do with keeping filial piety. However, it would be good if she could take this opportunity to leave her in-law's family and have some peace and quiet for a while.
Let’s talk about the future...the future.
Qiao Mingjin nodded towards Father Qiao and others: "Grandma, father, mother, my daughter will go with you. Take Wan'er with you."
Mother Qiao nodded with joy: "Yes, I must take Wan'er with me. I won't worry about leaving her at her grandma's house."
He also came over, held Wan'er in his arms, and started rubbing her.
Wan'er didn't know what the family was discussing. She only vaguely knew that the two people were looking for her grandpa, and then her grandpa was going to leave with her aunts and uncles. She was still looking unhappy at first, but now she heard that her grandma was going to
She and her mother also brought them with them, grinning with joy.
Everyone discussed it again and agreed that no matter whether they came back or not, they would have to stay in Yizhou for a long time during this trip, and their relatives and friends needed to be informed. Mingyu's fiancée also had to be informed.
Tell him what happened.
The family decided to tidy up at home tomorrow, host a banquet for relatives and friends the day after tomorrow, and set off the day after tomorrow.
It's a good idea to leave early, and it's a good idea to leave late. I heard that it takes more than half a month to walk from Yizhou to Qingchuan. They are old and young, so they are afraid that they will be delayed a lot of time on the road.
It's getting colder further north, so we have to get to Yizhou before ice and snow block roads.
Qiao Mingjin then said that she would go back to Xiahe Village to make an explanation.
Ming Qi and Ming Heng also said that they would go back to the academy to explain themselves. They also wanted to go to Zhou Yaozu, and also to Liu Qi and Liu Yuanwai. The three siblings all decided to leave immediately.
Qiao Mingjin thought that this trip to Yizhou would take a long time. After thinking about it, she asked Mingqi and Mingheng to stop by and notify Yao Ping's family to come. There was always an explanation for Yao Ji's grocery store.
After the family made an agreement, they called in two uncles from the Yun family.
Uncle Yun took Xiao Yunluan to help Qiao Mingjin drive the mother and daughter back to Xiahe Village. Uncle Yun drove Mingjue and Mingheng to the city in his own donkey cart.
Qiao's mother took her two daughters to pack their luggage, while Qiao's father and Lan discussed the banquet...
In the second half of the day, Qiao Mingjin took Wan'er back to Xiahe Village.
The autumn wind is gradually blowing, and Xiahe Village is still green with a few yellow leaves mixed in.
Qiao Mingjin was in a daze for a while, and in the blink of an eye, she had lived in Xiahe Village for nearly two years.
After entering the house, before the horse was tied up, Yunjin, his wife, and Mr. Xia arrived together.
Xiao Yunluan was naturally very happy to see her parents. The family had to get together again.
He and others originally thought that Qiao Mingjin would stay at her parents' house for a long time during this trip, but they didn't expect to come back so soon. They were all a little surprised.
After listening to Qiao Mingjin and Uncle Yun talk about what happened to their family, they were all astonished as Uncle Yun and others were when they met. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to recommend it.
