“Sigh, yes, they’ve sacrificed so much. They’re our peers, not much younger than us, yet they’re already married and have children running all over the yard,” said Madam Lü.
Among these daughters-in-law of the Qiao family, the oldest, Madam Feng, was only thirty-three years old.
Madam Feng chimed in, "You know what, they actually look quite well-matched. They're both handsome and skilled in martial arts. Their offspring, whether a son or a daughter, will likely be formidable."
Qiao Zhizhi saw it and, thinking it was something new, hopped over as well.
Seeing that they were talking about Wei Chi and Gao Shuying, she said, "I also want to go to their wedding banquet."
Madam Wan patted her head: "Your little sister Lian'er will definitely go. She'll take you with her then."
Old Mrs. Qiao suddenly appeared to the side, her face slightly stern, pretending to be angry.
"What are you all doing getting together to chatter about? Those who have work to do, do it. Those who don't, go keep the Chu family elders company and chat with them. It's a long journey, and it's not easy for them to come all this way."
"Yes, Mother, we'll go right away." Everyone quickly dispersed.
Grandma Qiao also looked at the couple, a hint of blessing on her face.
Everything that has happened in the past year can be described in four words.
After hardship comes happiness.
I hope they are the same.
After lunch, Old Madam Chu went to rest, and Qiao Yunni applied the herbal medicine to her again.
Old Madam Chu remained obedient and motionless, intending to sleep until dinner to maximize the effects of the medicine.
Qiao Lian'er took the things she bought for Guan Xue and Guan Song in the state capital and went to the garrison.
There are toys, clothes, accessories, and small ornaments.
She also bought two sets of clothes for General Guan and Guan Yuqin, asking the nanny in the camp for the sizes.
The Guan family was deeply moved to see Qiao Lian'er bring so many things.
After she had lunch, we invited her to stay for afternoon tea and snacks, and everyone gathered together like a family.
"Did Lian'er go to the prefectural capital just to buy things? Or is it—" General Guan asked.
He meant that Qiao Lian'er hadn't given up on finding out Song Laosan's whereabouts.
At that time, almost half of the soldiers stationed in the area were mobilized to conduct a carpet search. Every county, town, and village in Yuezhou was searched, including restaurants, shops, and houses.
He was more convinced that Song Laosan was already dead, eaten clean by wild beasts.
If Lian'er still has to go through all that trouble, then he really has to advise her to give up.
Qiao Lian'er didn't hide anything and told everyone about her mother's background. Anyway, they would find out in the future, and using it as a topic of conversation would actually bring them closer.
General Guan and Guan Yuqin were very surprised that Qiao Yunni was actually the daughter of a state official.
“Fate is fickle.” General Guan shook his head and smiled: “Song Yuanyi had already gotten what he wanted from the beginning, but he just wasn’t destined for it.”
"He doesn't deserve it either."
Guan Xue and Guan Song pulled Qiao Lian'er to their room to play. Qiao Lian'er played with them until dusk before going home.
Song Ruier set off carrying a book box on her back, with a rolled-up mat and quilt in her arms, and a pillow draped on top of the book box.
The school has bed frames, but you have to prepare everything else yourself.
He could have gone this morning, but he wanted to live in the school, which would cost him an extra three taels of silver each year. He argued with Granny Song for a long time before finally getting his wish.
The thought of not having to face those cowardly Song family members, and then thinking of the Chu family, put him in a good mood.
After walking a short distance from the village entrance, we ran into Qiao Lian'er.
