Chapter 103: Will Not Recognize Each Other

Qiao Xin took some time to look at the house bestowed by the emperor. The location was quite good, not far from the palace, and it only took a quarter of an hour to walk there. It would be even faster to take a bullock cart or a horse carriage, and it would only take a quarter of an hour to arrive, which was definitely within the first ring road.

The large house with three entrances is simple and elegant, emphasizing restraint and practicality, and it even has a large horse racing track.

The style of the entire building is open and closed, which is exactly what Qiao Xin likes.

It is said that it was the residence of a first-rank military general of the previous dynasty, and now it has fallen into the hands of Qiao Xin.

This result far exceeded Qiao Xin's expectations, and made her like Emperor Wu even more!

He is a generous master and can do many things!

Qiao Xin hurriedly walked around and came back, then left two thousand taels of silver to Qiao Yunqing and said, "That house is not bad, basically there is nothing dilapidated, you can find someone to clean it up when you have time.

If you stay, this place is very close to the imperial palace. When you move in, it will be convenient for you to go to and from court.

"By the way, what are your plans next?"

"I haven't decided yet. I want to go to the local area for training and start as a county magistrate. It depends on whether His Majesty will let me go!"

'Okay, when you're settled, send a message home and I'll have your wife and children sent over. It's not right for you two to be separated like this. It's time to get together.'

Qiao Yunqing hesitated for a moment and said, "For the time being, let Zhang serve you by your side."

Qiao Xin was not happy to hear that and immediately retorted, "What are you talking about? I am not an old man with immobile arms and legs. Do I need your wife to take care of me? Because of me, you and your wife have to live apart like this. What kind of person am I then?"

After saying that, he glanced at him and said, "It's said all over the capital that the number one scholar is handsome and as good-looking as Pan An. How many people admire your looks. Tell me honestly, you don't have any other plans, do you?"

"Mother, what are you talking about? Please have some faith in me!"

"Okay, don't get me a concubine in the future! This time when I go back, I plan to set up some rules for the Qiao family. Men who are over 40 and childless cannot take concubines, and women cannot be concubines.

Even brothers and sisters who came out of the same belly can turn against each other, let alone they don't have the same mother. You men all want your wives and concubines to live in harmony. What a sweet dream you are dreaming about! It's nothing but deceiving yourselves.

I, the old woman, will completely cut off this root in the Qiao family. Anyone who does not comply, you can no longer use the name Qiao. "

Qiao Yunqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he was happy for his wife. How much good fortune did his wife have in her previous life to be so well protected by her mother-in-law in this life?

If Qiao Xin's words were to spread, all the girls in Beijing would probably be scrambling to get into the Qiao family's house.

"I understand, mother. As long as it's a woman, I will stay away from her."

Qiao Xin turned her head and said to Jia Quan who was snickering, "Did you hear that, Jia Quan? From now on, keep an eye on your Second Master and keep even a female mosquito three feet away."

Mo Jia nodded with a smile: "I understand, old lady!"

Qiao Xin hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Did you inquire about your own affairs and meet your parents during your stay in Beijing?"

Qiao Yunqing showed no interest in talking about this matter.

"I have, they are all fine, their lives are not affected by having me as their son or not!"

"Then when will you come to recognize your relatives?"

Qiao Yunqing looked at Qiao Xin and said, "Mother, why are you so impatient for me to go back?"

"It's not that I can't wait, but I'm afraid you'll regret it later. I don't mind having another pair of parents who love you."

Qiao Yunqing laughed at herself, "They won't, mother, do you know that? I was the second child in that family, with an older brother and a younger brother, but in those years, my mother never hugged me, and it was always the nanny beside me who accompanied me.

I was just a tool born out of spite between her and my father. I heard it with my own ears.

When we encountered danger, it was not only me but also my third brother. My mother could obviously hold me, but she only ordered four servants to take my third brother away, while my good father's full attention was on my aunt's children.

Moreover, my eldest brother's mother was such a good sister to her before she got married. The Marquis's wife was a descendant of a military general. She led people to resist foreign enemies at that time and entrusted my eldest brother to them wholeheartedly. What was the result? ....."

Qiao Xin really didn't expect there was such a reason behind this. She also didn't want Qiao Yunqing to recall the sad things in the past.

I regret that I shouldn't have been so rude at that moment.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't ask these questions! You can do whatever you want in the future. There are unfilial sons and ungrateful children in this world. There are also parents who give birth to children but don't raise them. Not all fate is expected. Just think of your meeting with your parents as a bad fate!

We should eat what we should eat, drink what we should drink, and don’t take things to heart.”

Qiao Yunqing's tone was sad, like an abandoned little animal begging for a little attention. He knew that Qiao Xin would always be soft-hearted, especially to her family. He couldn't help but lower his voice.

"Mother, I have figured it out. I want to be the second master of the Qiao family for the rest of my life. Mother, you can't push me out!"

How could Qiao Xin stand such a pitiful tone!

Ahhhh~~~~ Her always independent, strong and handsome son suddenly acts like a spoiled child towards her. Which old mother can have the hard heart to refuse him?

I remember that when she was at home, her nephew in his twenties acted like a spoiled child and asked for New Year's money, and she had no choice but to raise her hands in surrender.

"No, no, the Qiao family will always support you. Just don't take the crooked path." Qiao Xin hurriedly added.

Protecting is also protecting with principles!

"So they are also in the capital now?"

"Well, the Left Prime Minister's Mansion! My father was just a councilor at the beginning, but he chose his side! Now there are seven sons and six daughters in the mansion, both legitimate and illegitimate, and a lot of grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren. Why should I get involved?

Dingyuan Hou was a general of the fourth rank beside Your Majesty at that time. I heard that in the past ten years, the two families have cut off all contact and have been at loggerheads in the court. "

Qiao Xin was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and started to curse.

"Fuck, the left prime minister, that old man is really bad. No wonder I disliked him the first time I saw him. When I first met His Majesty, he was the one who jumped around and always disliked us."

Qiao Yunqing narrowed his eyes, "Is he targeting you?"

"It's not that they are targeting us, they just haven't been very friendly to us. From what you said, their family must be a mess, with many entanglements. You'd better not go back and suffer that punishment.

There isn't much affection between you to begin with, and if there are any problems in the future, you will definitely be a group of people who can't share the hardships. Who knows, they might even push you out to take the blame!

No, you have to hide your identity! You have to work harder. As long as the two of us have power, no one can bully you!"

Qiao Yunqing thought to himself, "That was exactly what happened in my last life!"
