Therefore, when Qiao Jingjing went back to her parents' home to visit them, she always made a grand entrance and was always accompanied by the most distinguished young master and the most distinguished princess in the entire Jiangdong region.
Old Man Joe was delighted, though he was exaggerating how mature and sensible his daughter was, and how well she had done these things.
In particular, his eldest daughter invited Yu Fan, a scholar of classical studies, to their home, where he taught Liu Ji and his brothers for nearly three months.
He also frequently sent things to his family and cared about the daily lives of his sworn brothers.
Ah Shao and his wet nurse were playing in the middle of the yard.
Qiao Er's child, A Yan, was also there.
The two children, who were about the same age, suddenly experienced the joy of being with their peers.
Seeing her little nephew having so much fun, Sun Shangxiang clapped her hands and told Qiao Jingjing:
"Sister-in-law, look how happy Ah Shao is! I've never seen him smile like that before. It turns out children need friends too!"
In the past, raising children was like being in prison.
Sun Shangxiang played freely in the Qiao family.
If she happened to run into Yu Fanzheng giving a lesson to Liu Ji and his brothers, she would go in and listen for a while if she felt like it.
If you find it boring, just turn around and leave.
Liu Ji and his brothers knew that the young girl was the younger sister of Sun Ce, the Marquis of Wu, and they all bowed to her according to etiquette.
Sun Shangxiang was very easygoing: "No need, no need, I'm the one who disturbed you. You all continue, we're all relatives, I'm my sister-in-law's younger sister, and you are my sister-in-law's younger brothers, it's all the same, don't be shy."
After class, Liu Ji and his brothers rushed to visit Qiao Jingjing.
Qiao Jingjing divided the gifts, such as writing brushes, ink, paper, inkstones, and books, and gave them to her sworn brothers one by one.
The sworn brothers expressed their deepest gratitude.
Qiao Jingjing said with a smile, "You and I are the same siblings, so I should take good care of you."
Liu Ji then reported to Qiao Jingjing on the lessons he and his younger brothers had recently learned.
Qiao Jingjing praised Liu Ji for his diligence.
"You must learn the knowledge from books, and you must put in a lot of hard work. But you can't just believe what you read! You have to reason and verify it yourself."
Qiao Jingjing also mentioned that she would bring several of her sworn brothers to the Wu County Agricultural Conference in a few days.
Liu Ji thanked him again.
Sun Shangxiang watched coldly.
He admired Liu Ji and his brothers for their hard work and diligence, but also lamented their unfortunate loss of fortune at a young age.
Fortunately, her elder brother was kind and wise, and entrusted Liu Ji and the others to Qiao's sister-in-law's family for upbringing, where Qiao's sister-in-law took care of them.
From now on, no one in Wu County will be able to bully us.
Sun Shangxiang was always comfortable in the Qiao family, but she was unwilling to visit Qiao Jingjing's mother.
Qiao Jingjing's mother was also unwilling to come out to receive guests.
Ever since Qiao Er said that Qiao's mother was getting old and asked her to hand over the power of housekeeping,
Mrs. Joe didn't know whether she was sick or not, and she was often depressed, sitting in the house.
She thought about it again and again, but she still felt a lot of resentment.
There are still many things I can't let go of, and I want to explain them to my eldest daughter, Qiao Jingjing.
But Qiao Jingjing was always busy with this or that.
Now he's raising someone else's son.
Mrs. Qiao felt uncomfortable.
