When Qiao Jingjing was with her father, she was still like a little girl, able to act coquettishly and express her inner vulnerability.
Qiao Xuan also held his eldest daughter's hand.
"Yes, yes, yes, you should come back often. These past years, because Xiao Qiao is far away in Baqiu, I've missed her many times and often cried at night out of worry. Thankfully, you're close by and often come back to comfort me. Da Qiao, you're a good girl."
There's no such thing as striving for perfection; don't pursue absolute excellence.
You're already good enough as you are!
You and Lord Wu are still young. Besides being busy with important matters in Jiangdong and Wu County, you should also take care of yourselves as a couple. Your relationship goes without saying; it has been tested by life and death, and by time and distance.
Since you have a long future ahead of you, why don't you have a few more children?
Whether you're a son or a daughter, when you get old, you'll be able to enjoy the happiness of being surrounded by your children and grandchildren, just like your mother and I.
If your mother and I only had Qiao Er or Xiao Qiao by our side, with Xiao Qiao married far away and Qiao Er busy with official duties all day, how lonely your mother and I would be.”
The elderly father always put himself in Qiao Jingjing's shoes and thought of things that Qiao Jingjing hadn't thought of.
After giving birth to twin daughters, Qiao Jingjing was very content with her life with Sun Ce and never thought about having more children.
But her father thought about what her life with Sun Ce would be like in thirty or fifty years, fearing that she would become an empty nester.
Qiao Jingjing talked to her father for a long time.
Everyday life.
I was supposed to leave right away.
Qiao Er returned.
Qiao Er was accompanied by Guo Jia.
Qiao Er and Guo Jia walked back to the Qiao family home hand in hand, their affection for each other palpable.
Qiao Er had long heard that Guo Jia was a famous strategist by Cao Mengde's side. Then one day, Guo Jia suddenly walked up to Qiao Er and told him that it was he who helped the Qiao family find their mother back then.
Oh my god!
Is this our great benefactor?
Qiao Er was overjoyed when Guo Jia recounted the whole story of how he had searched for his mother.
Qiao Er thought that he was now an official, no matter how low his rank, and since Guo Jia had come from afar, he should invite his benefactor to his home.
Qiao Er never believed that his brother-in-law Sun Ce was such a petty person, even though Guo Jia was in Cao Cao's camp.
But how could they not repay the great kindness of their savior in helping the Qiao family find their mother?
Even if his brother-in-law minded, he wouldn't care about his sister's family affairs.
Qiao Er boldly brought Guo Jia, this wolf with ill intentions, back to the Qiao family.
Guo Jia had planned all of this.
Guo Jia had calculated that Qiao Jingjing would be at her parents' home today, and he planned to meet this famous Lady Qiao in Jiangdong in this way.
Qiao Jingjing suddenly met Guo Jia at home.
She already understood that her simple-minded son had fallen for someone else's trick again.
Qiao Er also warmly entertained Guo Jia.
Guo Jia was asked to meet his father, and coincidentally, his elder sister was also there.
"Perfect timing! Sister, you're back today? Where are my two little nieces? Have they grown a bit?"
Qiao Er insisted that Qiao Jingjing eat at home.
“This is Guo Fengxiao, our family’s benefactor! Sister, please send someone back to tell your husband that we have guests at home today, so please go back later.”
Qiao Er made perfect arrangements for Qiao Jingjing.
Qiao Jingjing took the opportunity to stay at home a little longer, wanting to see what kind of trouble Guo Jia, Cao Cao's famous strategist, was up to this time.
Guo Jia went to great lengths to contact the Qiao family and meet with Qiao Jingjing, simply so that she would plead for him before Sun Ce.
All I wanted was to live.
It's that simple!
However, the idea of undermining the trust between Guo Jia and Cao Cao and causing them to become suspicious of each other was first conceived by Qiao Jingjing.
Guo Jia came to Qiao Jingjing for help, but would Qiao Jingjing let him go?
Guo Jia initially considered himself the savior of the Qiao family.
Qiao Jingjing was quite generous and simply sent her maid home to fetch a box of gold.
He also gave Guo Jia the beautiful and capable maid and the box of gold as a token of his gratitude.
Guo Jia was already prepared to accept the box of gold upon seeing it.
But Lady Da Qiao also wanted to give him a beautiful maid.
Guo Jia hesitated.
He had already heard that all the maids around Lady Da Qiao were skilled in martial arts.
Having a beautiful maid by your side is like having an assassin lurking nearby at any moment.
Guo Jia smiled and declined, even refusing a box of gold.
He appeared to be very honest and upright.
"Lady Qiao, you are too kind. It was Guo Jia's unintentional act to do things for you and reunite you with your mother. If there is any merit to be gained, it belongs to Cao Cao. Guo Jia dares not claim credit for it."
Qiao Jingjing just stared at this rather famous strategist.
He was thin, with prominent cheekbones.
“Fengxiao must be having trouble getting used to living in Jiangdong. He’s only been here a few days and he’s already gotten thin. Don’t refuse him. It’s just a little gold, nothing to mention. But my maid is clever and lovely. She’s reached marriageable age, and I’m worried all the time about what kind of husband to find for her. When I met Guo Fengxiao the other day, I was overjoyed. Isn’t this a perfect match? A spirited woman and a talented man, a perfect couple.”
Guo Jia originally wanted Qiao Jingjing to speak on his behalf and ask her to let him go.
If he accepted money from the Qiao family this time, and also took a beautiful maidservant from Madam Qiao's side, could he still explain himself?
Guo Jia still firmly refused.
But Qiao Er was a straightforward person. He stretched out his arm and climbed onto Guo Jia's shoulder. Qiao Er's figure was not particularly burly, but compared to Guo Jia, he looked quite strong.
Guo Jia was held in Qiao Erpan's arms.
The situation was somewhat comical.
