Chapter 48 Old Pervert
Qiao Niannian immediately handed the prepared things to Huo Yu: "Brother, keep the things in here close to you. No matter what happens, don't take them off."
[This heart-protecting bronze mirror can save your life at a critical moment. ]
Huo Yu heard his cousin's thoughts and carefully put the heart-protecting bronze mirror away.
Qiao Niannian felt a little pity.
[I wish I could tell you about my second uncle's collusion with the barbarians. ]
[Brother, you don't know yet that our good second uncle has already sold the food and grass to the barbarians. ]
[They have agreed to ambush in the Cliff Valley. ]
[If my second cousin and my eldest brother take their troops to the Cliff Valley again, they will definitely be able to capture a few barbarian generals. γ
γIt's a pity that I can't remind them, the matter of the Cliff Valley can only be forgotten. γ
It was not the first time that Huo Yu heard from his cousin's voice that the second uncle of the Qiao family colluded with the barbarians.
He used to be half-believing and half-doubting, but now that he knew his cousin's strength, he had no doubts at all.
Since the second uncle of the Qiao family was trading with the barbarians in the Cliff Valley. Then he would naturally go with his eldest brother to ambush them.
Huo Yu rode away that day.
In the evening.
Huo looked at the things sent by the general's mansion, as well as the letters, and knew what her daughter had done.
She was proud and worried.
Qiao Chushan knew Huo's mood.
He was the same now.
But he still comforted his wife.
"Niannian is different from others. She is destined to be extraordinary. As parents, we only need to give her enough support. Our daughter knows what she is doing."
Mrs. Huo originally wanted to teach her daughter a lesson.
After all, she was so young and she did such a dangerous thing. What if she got hurt?
He was the leader of the bandits.
It's not that we shouldn't help him, but at least we should come back and tell our parents.
But what Qiao Chushan said made sense.
Her daughter was different from other children. All she could do was to support her.
Mrs. Huo didn't even look at the things that the General's Mansion sent to Qiao Niannian. She just asked someone to carry them to Qiao Niannian.
Qiao Niannian looked at the two large boxes full of things and was very excited.
"Grandmaster, I know how to make money."
There are many dignitaries in the capital.
Who doesn't have a few unsolved supernatural events? She solved them with her own hands, and the money came!
She is so smart.
Qiao Niannian opened the box, which contained expensive cloth, various jewelry, room decorations, and many good things, even if there were no gold and silver items. Qiao Niannian
asked someone to send the things to the warehouse, then opened the desk and took out a box.
This is all the money she has.
As a legitimate daughter, Qiao Niannian's monthly salary is 20 taels of silver. She also receives subsidies from her parents and brothers. On weekdays, she just goes out to buy some jewelry and beautiful clothes, but they are not cheap.
Qiao Niannian counted her things. She now had 300 taels of silver notes, 200 taels of silver ingots, and 50 taels of gold.
In addition to these, there was also a gold medal given by her second brother.
Qiao Niannian had read a report before.
It was said that a certain emperor built a Taoist temple, which cost 2.88 million taels of silver.
At that time, the national treasury had only 8 million taels, and the construction of the Taoist temple cost one-third of it.
She could not build it so big, but she still had to have more than one million taels, plus she would need to recruit disciples and eat and drink in the future, so this amount of money would not be small.
Qiao Niannian put the silver away, devoutly lit a stick of incense to the ancestor, and then began to chatter.
"Don't worry, Grandmaster. Although I don't have that much money now, I have found a way to make money. I will make more money in the future and build the Taoist temple as soon as possible."
The incense in front of the Grandmaster was burning very vigorously.
The next day.
Qiao Niannian started.
Qiao Chufeng came again.
This was the sixth day since he returned to Beijing. He had waited for six days, three days later than he expected.
Qiao Chufeng always felt that something was wrong with this matter, but he didn't know what was wrong. Now it has been six days, and he really can't wait any longer.
This time, no matter what, he must let Qiao Chushan help him solve the food problem.
Qiao Chufeng prepared a lot of words to persuade Qiao Chushan.
Who would have thought that Qiao Chushan would be surprisingly easy to talk to this time.
"Don't worry, second brother. The food is ready. It's almost time. You can leave after lunch."
"When you leave this time, our family will be separated again."
Qiao Chushan looked sentimental.
Qiao Chufeng nodded in agreement. Looking carefully, his eyes were a little red.
Ever since Mrs. Huo knew that Qiao Chufeng was not a good person, her attitude became cold.
But Qiao Chufeng didn't take it to heart at all.
In his opinion, his sister-in-law, who came from a family of military generals, had a simple mind and had never doubted him for so many years. There was no need to worry.
At noon, the family sat together to have lunch.
Qiao Yueying and Qiao Chaosheng also came.
Qiao Chushan felt very uncomfortable when he saw the pair of children.
But he couldn't kill them.
Qiao Yueying had saved the Queen Mother once, and the Queen Mother liked this girl very much. If he suddenly killed someone, it would be difficult for the Queen Mother to explain.
And Qiao Chaosheng was favored by the teacher of the Imperial Academy. The teacher was a famous scholar, and he could not explain to the scholar if he killed someone.
It was all because the third brother was not ambitious.
Why couldn't he be ambitious and be favored by the scholar!
If Qiao Beichen was favored, would he still be in such a dilemma?
Qiao Beichen had been recuperating in the mansion for a few days, and finally he was able to get out of bed.
As soon as he walked in, he saw his father's rolling eyes.
Qiao Beichen: ...
No.
He has been recuperating in the mansion these days, and he is so well behaved, why does his father still dislike him?
Qiao Beichen has an average relationship with his second uncle. After all, he was only three years old when his second uncle left home.
What can a three-year-old kid understand? He has almost no impression of this second uncle.
When sitting down, Qiao Beichen naturally sat next to Qiao Niannian.
They, the brother and sister, sat next to Huo.
Qiao Yueying and Qiao Chaosheng sat next to Qiao Chufeng.
Everyone was happy at the dinner table.
Qiao Niannian saw that Second Uncle's eyes occasionally fell on Qiao Yueying, and she couldn't help shaking her body with doting.
[Second Uncle, this old pervert, doesn't mind his age. He likes Qiao Yueying when she is only twelve. He is simply a psychopath.]
Qiao Beichen was caught off guard and choked a mouthful of soup.
Qiao Niannian turned her head to look at Qiao Beichen and patted him on the back twice.
[Third brother is so stupid that he can choke even when eating. Absolutely!]
Qiao Beichen didn't care about refuting his little sister's thoughts, but stared at Qiao Chufeng and Qiao Yueying opposite him.
He couldn't believe it.
Second Uncle likes Qiao Yueying.
Qiao Yueying is his own niece.
This is too outrageous.
Qiao Beichen wanted to say something, but Qiao Yueying thought that he was jealous of her relationship with her second uncle when she saw him looking at her eagerly.
She personally picked up a piece of food for Qiao Chufeng in front of Qiao Beichen.
"Second uncle, try this braised lamb, it's very well made."
After picking up the food, she turned around and saw that Qiao Beichen looked unhappy.
Qiao Yueying's smile became even sweeter.
