The three siblings also took the opportunity to lie down on the horse's back.
They passed through so easily.
The bandits watched the horses ride away, then looked at the rope in their hands, and were stunned.
"Holy crap, no way, he managed to dodge that?"
"Yes, they managed to avoid such a clever method. Are they geniuses?"
"My Akhal-Teke horse!" The bandit leader slapped his forehead.
The wind faintly carried the discussion behind her. Qiao Lian'er chuckled. This wasn't the first time she had encountered bandits since coming to this world, but the bandits she met today were undoubtedly the most foolish of all.
It can only be said that they were lucky not to encounter those vicious and intelligent people.
With only a few days left until Shi Murou's wedding, Qiao Lian'er carefully selected a large gold hairpin of considerable weight on the street. It was carved with exquisite and intricate patterns, and the tassels were adorned with dazzling rubies, making it very eye-catching.
She didn't know what Shi Murou liked, but giving her something conventional and valuable was always a good idea.
It cost two hundred taels of silver and was placed in an antique sandalwood box.
It is indeed expensive, but the Qiao family's lives were saved by Chu Zhuo, otherwise they would not be where they are today. This is a great favor, and we must repay it handsomely.
When she got home, Grandma Qiao handed her a gold-embossed invitation.
"This is an invitation from the Shi family in town. They said that Miss Shi and General Chu will be getting married in five days, and they want our whole family to come to their house for the wedding banquet."
Qiao Lian'er was deeply moved that Shi Murou's whole family had been invited.
"Lian'er, is it really appropriate for our whole family to go?" said Old Mrs. Qiao.
Qiao Lian'er thought for a moment and said, "Let them all go. The three older brothers are soldiers under General Chu, and the three uncles and Xiao Meng are also under General Chu. It is appropriate for them to go."
“Alright, then everyone should come and join in the fun.” Old Man Qiao said, “General Chu and Miss Shi have helped our family so much, so we should prepare a generous gift.”
"Master, the sickle has been bought, along with a large gold hairpin, which cost two hundred taels," Zhizhi said.
It was expensive, but the two elders felt that the debt of saving their lives was greater than heaven, and that the more than 10,000 taels of silver they had brought with them were a gift they really wanted to give in gratitude during this wedding.
"Although the hairpin is expensive, it still seems a bit cheap." After considering for a moment, Grandma Qiao said, "How about this, you three brothers, who have positions, each prepare one, and your grandfather and I will prepare one. The others don't need to prepare one."
After all, they haven't separated yet.
The words "separate family" flashed through Old Mrs. Qiao's mind. She realized that although she and Old Mr. Qiao were in good health, they would have to separate the family after they passed away.
That day will come sooner or later.
The Qiao family's current wealth is mainly due to Lian'er's intelligence. Currently, the money is kept in the public treasury, but when the family divides, Lian'er must take the lion's share.
She led everyone to prosperity and fulfilled the lives of her three older brothers. Perhaps the eldest, second, and third brothers will also have a bright future. That's enough, that's enough. Even if they separate, each family's life will get better and better.
Lian'er led everyone forward step by step, upward. She was a great contributor, and what belonged to her should not be divided or monopolized by others.
She had to keep a close eye on things from time to time to prevent anyone from having any inappropriate thoughts. Of course, the Qiao family was aware of this.
It was already dusk, and the aroma of food wafted from the Qiao family's kitchen.
Feng and Qiao Xier prepared the ingredients, while Qiao Yunni and Wan saw off the last few customers who bought plastic film at the warehouse. All the men, except for Xiao Meng, were at the camp.
As soon as he got back, Xiao Meng went to chop wood.
Qiao Lian'er took out the tenderest hay and carrots from her space and poured them into the manger. Da Hong lowered her head and ate them with relish.
At this time, a family of three arrived in Datian Village: a couple and a girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old.
They stood at the village entrance, looking around as if trying to recall something.
The man stopped a villager: "Excuse me, where is the Qiao family's residence?"
