When Wan'er learned that her biological father had come to Yizhou, she hurriedly had her sent back from her sixth uncle's home.
After getting off the soft sedan, my little body ran very fast.
When she walked around and saw no sign of her father, she suddenly became exhausted.
Her mouth also pursed in grievance. She wanted to cry but didn't want to.
Qiao Mingjin couldn't laugh or cry.
"Aren't you having fun at the Sixth Taizu's house?"
Father Qiao's sixth uncle's family has several children who are similar in age to Wan'er. The two families are close, and the children play well together. Early this morning, his sixth uncle sent someone to pick her up and play with her.
The little thing shook her head and looked at Qiao Mingjin carefully. After thinking about it, she took out all the items in her crossbody bag and showed them to Qiao Mingjin, pointing out who gave them to them one by one.
Qiao Mingjin sighed silently while watching with her with interest.
Children who grew up in unhealthy families seemed to know how to read people's faces better than others. Wan'er never dared to mention her father in front of her, and she never dared to ask.
A child at such an old age never knows what kind of impact having a father and mother around will have on her growth. She only knows that other children have it, and she wants it too.
What's more, Yue Zhongyao really felt sorry for this only flesh and blood. Every time he came back, he never forgot to buy some small things for her, talk to her, play with her, give her a bath, coax her to sleep, and let her sit on his shoulders.
The men in Xiahe Village love their children internally and rarely show it outwardly. Not to mention hugging their children, they rarely even touch their children's heads or talk to them in a soft and slow voice.
Wan'er longed to be close to her father from the bottom of her heart.
Qiao Mingjin sighed, held her daughter on her lap, and said to her: "These things are given to you by your sisters, so you must keep them well. Next time you have good things, you must also give them to your sisters."
.”
Seeing the little thing nodding, he added: "Your father hasn't left yet. He is talking to his grandfather in the study right now."
When Wan'er heard this, she immediately sat up straight, looked at Qiao Mingjin with bright eyes and said, "Is dad really here? Is it really grandpa's study?"
Seeing Qiao Mingjin nod, she slid down to the ground and ran out: "I'm going to find dad!"
"Your grandpa has something to do with your father."
"I won't disturb grandpa. Just wait outside the yard!" he said as he ran away.
Seeing this, Qiao Mingjin had no choice but to let her go. Then she turned around and told Wan'er's wet nurse and maid to follow her.
In the study room, Yue Zhongyao did not dare to breathe.
When did my father-in-law feel so coercive?
Haven't you always been kind to him?
Since Qiao Jingkun returned to Yizhou, his identity has changed, and he has gained the aura of a master. As the next clan leader, he has to be in charge of the general affairs of the clan. With his identity, he must also have the aura.
Qiao Jingkun was very happy that Yue Zhongyao had such a reaction.
It is not a bad thing to have a sense of respect for the in-law family. At least, he would never dare to bully his daughter in his hands. Even if he becomes rich and prosperous in the future, he would not dare to consider the in-law family behind his original wife.
A dishonest woman was brought in front of her daughter to cause trouble.
This is also the reason why many parents who feel sorry for their daughters are willing to marry off their daughters at a low age.
Qiao Jingkun had always had high expectations for the son-in-law he had chosen. He felt that this man would give his daughter a stable life.
Qiao Jingkun nodded almost imperceptibly, and then said to Yue Zhongyao: "Now you also know the identity of my family. If you go to Beijing to do things, as long as you don't make a big mistake, no one will take your life."
Yue Zhongyao nodded and shook his head: "Prince An did not ask about my wife's status."
The implication is that people don’t know the identity of his Qiao family’s son-in-law.
Qiao Jingkun glared at him. This son-in-law has a good character and is capable and responsible. But he has experienced too little and is not aware of the darkness and complexity of the world. The twists and turns of a noble man's actions.
Qiao Jingkun said to him: "If people ask, they may really not know the situation in your family. But if they don't ask, it means that the situation is under control. There is a prince's palace in Beijing, and he is closely guarding you.
If you don't dig up your family's background for eight or ten generations, how dare you use it?"
Although Yue Zhongyao was upright, he was not stupid. When his father-in-law said this, he understood.
Noble people cherish their lives the most, how can they dare to casually arrange someone to serve them closely?
He is the king of the county. What situation can't be found out if he wants to find out? Besides, his father-in-law's family didn't hide it deliberately. When the village asked, the carriages and horses went to investigate, what can't be found out?
Yue Zhongyao had a stern expression. He thought it was really the other party who wanted to repay his kindness.
"It's true that people want to repay their kindness. Prince An has a good reputation. If you help him, he will naturally want to repay you. Knowing your identity, he feels that you can be more useful. In the future, he will help you and release you.
As a confidant, you will naturally be grateful for working hard for him. Firstly, he can gain your loyalty, secondly, he can use you with confidence, and thirdly, he can get the support of the Qiao family outside. He has both face and heart."
When Yue Zhongyao heard what his father-in-law said, he felt that something that was originally simple had become complicated.
From the outside, it seemed that Prince An wanted to repay his kindness, and since he, a poor boy, could get into the Prince's Mansion, he naturally had to be grateful to the Prince and work hard.
In the future, when the county king sees that he is diligent and diligent, he will naturally be willing to entrust his affairs to him. And because he is grateful for the support of the county king, he will naturally try his best. And Prince An has loyal men, and
Those who know the basics will naturally be more powerful than a tiger.
In addition, he is the son-in-law of the Qiao family, so Prince An may be able to get help from officials named Qiao in the future. Even if he does not get help, at least people named Qiao will not make things difficult for him.
Isn't this just a matter of mutual convenience, good for you and good for me?
Yue Zhongyao suddenly felt that he still had a lot to learn.
If he wants to achieve success in Beijing, it seems that enthusiasm alone is not enough.
It is certain that he himself needs to learn more skills and gain more knowledge. He also needs to learn the ability to keep an eye on all directions and listen to all directions, and to observe people's words and emotions. But the top priority is to prevent others from taking advantage of his own life, so borrowing power is a must.
Wanted.
After Yue Zhongyao figured it out, he knelt down in front of Qiao Jingkun: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law never thought of abandoning Jinniang. During those four years on the battlefield, my son-in-law did not dare to forget Jinniang for a moment, and she was the one he missed the most.
She was afraid that her son-in-law would die and she would have no one to rely on. After she came back, she was forced to agree to marry a girl from the Liu family as an equal wife. At that time, she just wanted to agree first, and then think of a plan to have both ends of the world.
My son-in-law has never thought about marrying another woman to trouble Jinniang. No matter before or in the future, my son-in-law will never have such thoughts. My son-in-law has always been grateful to his father-in-law for marrying Jinniang to me.
I swore to protect Jinniang and give her a stable life. My son-in-law has never thought of marrying another woman. Please father-in-law, trust me!"
Qiao Jingkun nodded almost inaudibly after hearing this.
This son-in-law is like a piece of rough jade, as long as it is polished a little, it will shine.
After just a little digging, he understood. He was indeed a smart man.
I'm not afraid that he won't use his strength, but I'm afraid that he will become prosperous in the future, stepping on his wife and his family, and then leaving them far behind.
He had seen everything Jinniang had been going through these years, but he had never been able to help her. He was anxious and could do nothing. Taking his daughter back to her parents' home was something he had never wanted to do.
Now that his family is capable, he naturally wants the best for his daughter. For his daughter's future life, it is naturally necessary to give his son-in-law a hard time.
Fortunately, he has always seen what this son-in-law does, and knows his nature, so he wants to encourage him. Otherwise, if he is just a piece of rotten wood or has a bad character, he won't have the energy to do it. It's best.
The only way is to take the daughter back and remarry her.
Qiao Jingkun personally helped Yue Zhongyao up.
After he sat down, he said earnestly: "All parents want their children to live well and be safe and worry-free. Since you said you won't have second thoughts, I am naturally willing to believe you..."
Yue Zhongyao interrupted Qiao Jingkun hastily and said: "Father-in-law, please believe in my son-in-law. He never has second thoughts. In this life, I only need Jin Niang!"
Qiao Jingkun nodded.
He added: "That puts me at ease. You have also seen that my daughter's identity is not only that of the Yizhou Qiao family, but also the daughter of the eldest daughter of the direct branch of the Qiao family. Not to mention the direct wife of the Qiao family, she is a concubine and a side branch.
, I can’t find any son-in-law with your status. I don’t say this to put pressure on you, I just want you to cherish your blessings and treat Jin Niang better in the future. With my family’s status, it would be unreasonable to take Jin Niang home and marry her again.
Bad.”
Yue Zhongyao stood up and bowed to Qiao Jingkun: "Father-in-law, please rest assured. My son-in-law understands my father-in-law's painstaking efforts. My son-in-law will always be kind to Jin Niang."
Qiao Jingkun nodded again.
He turned around and pulled out a box from the secret room of the study, counted out a thousand taels of silver notes and handed it to Yue Zhongyao.
"This is a thousand taels of silver note, take it..."
Yue Zhongyao said anxiously: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law can support his wife and children. When Jin Niang has finished paying filial piety to her grandfather and my son-in-law has saved enough money, he will take Jin Niang and Wan'er to him. This
Mr. Qian can’t have it.”
Yue Zhongyao touched the shriveled purse around his waist with a firm expression. How could he ask for his father-in-law's money to support his wife?
Qiao Jingkun pushed the money towards him again, and there was no doubt in his eyes: "Take it. Don't ever do anything like slapping a fat man on his face and abandoning a fat man. When you work outside, in addition to adhering to your true nature, you must also know how to "know practical things".
Junjie's words. This money is for you to use in Beijing. It is necessary to have the ability and hard work, but a little hard work is also indispensable. There are some social and social things, even if you hate them, you have to do them. Be kind to others.
, but don’t offend the villain. Only when you get better in the future will Jinniang get better."
Yue Zhongyao knelt on the ground again, carefully took the thousand taels of silver notes, and solemnly said: "My son-in-law, thank you for your advice. Father-in-law, please rest assured!"
Qiao Jingkun nodded towards him and said, "Just live in Jin Niang's courtyard. Stay with me during this period, and I will also introduce you to some people."
Yue Zhongyao naturally knew that his father-in-law wanted to lead him to watch more and learn more, so he agreed with a grateful face. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, your
Support is my biggest motivation.)
ps: I wanted to read more chapters today, but the cough really made my waist, abdomen and ribs hurt, and the medicine I took didn’t make it any better. I’ll definitely read more when I feel better.
