Chapter 33: The Highlight: East Suburb Poetry Festival



Seeing their father standing there in a daze, Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi became more and more worried.

Qiao Diyi even wondered, would dad just drag my little sister out and burn her?

If Qiao Jiaojiao knew what Qiao Diyi was thinking at this moment, she would probably roll her eyes and say: Second brother, I really need to thank you for your imagination!

"Dad?" Qiao Diyi shouted in a trembling voice, "I am not some ghost or evil spirit. Calm down and don't be impulsive!"

Qiao Zhongguo cursed angrily: "How can I be calm?"

When Qiao Diyi heard this, he immediately winked at Qiao Tianjing, then flew over and hugged Qiao Zhongguo's legs.

"Brother! Hurry up and carry me! The farther the better. I'll hold dad back!"

The howl was so brave and fearless, and he loved his sister like his life.

Qiao Zhongguo: “…”

How could I give birth to such a stupid son?

Qiao Tianjing: “…”

Second brother, we didn't plan to do this. Are you sure you haven't read too many martial arts novels?

"Get out of my way! You all can hear Jiaojiao's inner voice, so how can I, as her father, not hear it?"

Qiao Zhongguo raised his foot. He didn't expect that this idiot boy of his was so strong. He didn't expect that his martial arts skills improved so quickly.

While Qiao Diyi was still immersed in his own martial arts world, Qiao Tianjing already looked delighted.

"Dad, seriously!"

Qiao Diyi came back to his senses after a while, "Huh? Dad, what did you just say?"

Qiao Zhongguo: “…”

Maybe when the eldest child was born, the little wisdom he had had was already used up, so the second child with a simple mind and strong limbs was born.

"Your mother and I can hear Jiaojiao's inner voice. We all know about the cheating in the Spring Examination, the male and female protagonists Meng Guxue and Prince Jing, and the misfortunes that the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince will encounter."

When Qiao Tianjing heard these words, he really felt relieved.

Very good!

During this period of time, he racked his brains and changed his trajectory step by step according to his little sister's suggestions, but after all, he was still too young and found many things very difficult.

Now that he knew that his father could also hear Jiaojiao's thoughts, he felt much more at ease.

Dad is not only a hero in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of his son, he is like a mountain that is so steady that it will never be shaken, and can give people an unparalleled sense of security!

"Dad, how are you going to deal with the matter of the Spring Examination?"

When it comes to business, Qiao Zhongguo's face suddenly becomes serious.

"Then Tan Hanchi, have you found someone to protect him?"

Qiao Tianjing nodded immediately, "I used two of your secret guards."

Qiao Zhongguo has a group of loyal secret guards. They are tough guys who have fought with him on the battlefield. They obey orders and come and go silently.

When Qiao Tianjing just turned seventeen, Qiao Zhongguo gave Qiao Tianjing part of the dispatch rights of the secret guards.

Qiao Zhongguo frowned slightly when he heard this, "I'm afraid it's not enough, transfer four more people."

Qiao Tianjing couldn't help but be surprised, "It seems that Tan Hanchi is just a student with no foundation now. Would the Qingguo Guild spend so much effort to kill him?"

Qiao Zhongguo's expression suddenly became meaningful.

"Boss, I'm not on guard against assassins from the Duke of Qing's Mansion, but the Second Prince."

"Although he is only thirteen years old now, from Jiaojiao's prediction, we can see that he is very scheming and has many tricks up his sleeve. He will be the final winner."

"So, don't underestimate him just because nothing has happened yet. After all, he is the child of destiny as Jiaojiao said."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Tianjing stood in awe and nodded heavily.

"My son has learned a lesson!"

Qiao Zhongguo was very relieved about his eldest son who had been very smart since childhood.

"If we protect Tan Hanchi, we will have the upper hand. The rest depends on how I act in the court!"

Qiao Tianjing thought of how Qiao Zhongguo often relied on his big mouth and unrivaled aura to kill people in the Golden Palace, and he couldn't help but smile knowingly.

A few days later, the Spring Examination arrived as scheduled.

All stalls and night markets around Shuntian Street have been banned, and it is quiet everywhere, in order to provide the best environment for the students taking the exam.

On February 18th, the three consecutive spring examinations finally came to an end.

The marking process will take nearly a month, and the results are tentatively scheduled to be announced on March 15th.

During the period of waiting for the results to be announced, the capital will host one of its biggest events - the East Suburb Poetry Festival!

Qiao Jiaojiao waited and waited, and finally the third day of March arrived.

The weather is fine today, and the sunshine feels warm on my body. It is really a blessing from God.

Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi came to say goodbye to Mrs. Qiao at Si Shichu. Qiao Jiaojiao sat on the couch, clutching the corner of her clothes, looking at her two brothers with tears in her eyes.

[Wow, please be kind enough to take me with you! I promise not to make any noise or pee anywhere!]

[Oh, I hate that I was born too late! At least I can open my mouth and speak! ]

[Big Brother, Second Brother, have you seen my eager eyes? Take me with you! ]

Qiao Jiaojiao stretched out her hands towards Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi, screaming loudly.

Mrs. Qiao had already learned from Qiao Zhongguo that the whole family could read Qiao Jiaojiao's mind. Now, hearing Qiao Jiaojiao whining endlessly, she couldn't help but frown.

"Big brother, Jiaojiao seems to want to go with you, so you can take her with you. I'll let Aunt Liu go with you."

Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi looked at each other and smiled. They came here specifically just to take their younger sister with them.

"As you command, son!"

Qiao Jiaojiao was instantly surprised!

[Ahhh! Brother, come and hug me! Let’s go now! ]

The poetry meeting in the capital is held every year, and the spring examination is held every three years. This year the two events happen to coincide with each other, and the excitement is incomparable to the previous two years.

Today, most of the carriages in the capital are heading towards the eastern suburbs, and they are completely crowded when they reach Yintian Road.

Since the weather was fine, Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi carried Qiao Jiaojiao and walked over.

The location is at the foot of Wangjing Mountain in the eastern suburbs outside the city. Every March, the area is full of peach blossoms, which is very romantic.

Qiao Jiaojiao sat in Qiao Diyi's arms, her eyes rolling around.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she screamed.

[Brother! Brother! That’s my sister-in-law! Wow, my sister-in-law is so beautiful today! ]

The marriage between the Qiao and Han families has been completed, that is, the engagement letters of both parties have been compared, which is a very auspicious sign.

Now that the wedding date has not been set, the woman can still go out freely.

When Qiao Tianjing heard what Qiao Jiaojiao said, his heart skipped a beat. He immediately looked in the direction Qiao Jiaojiao pointed, and sure enough, he saw Han Yaxian in a lotus pink long dress.

The day of the poetry party is generally recognized as the only day of the year when men and women do not have to worry too much about separation.

Therefore, the ladies walking on the streets today don’t even wear veils, and there will be no separation of seats for men and women at the poetry gathering later.

Amid the noisy crowd, Han Yaxian did not look back, but the side of her face that was exposed had a peaceful smile at the corner of her mouth, which made Qiao Tianjing's heart beat like thunder.

Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but giggle.

[Tsk tsk tsk, even a gentleman like my elder brother is not immune to vulgarity. ]

[I remember the wedding date is set for September! Brother, just be patient and wait, you will be able to spend the rest of your life with your beautiful sister-in-law soon! ]

Qiao Tianjing's face turned red after hearing what Qiao Jiaojiao said, and he dared not look at Han Yaxian anymore.

Just then, someone patted Qiao Tianjing on the shoulder from behind.
