After Xu Can and Xiaoyao Hou hugged each other and cried for a while and expressed their father-son relationship, he planned to talk to his old father about the situation of Qiao Xin's family, but he found that he could not find anyone.
Then they figured it out and went to process the game on time.
His eyes were full of excitement, and he pulled Xiaoyao Hou to the back, gesturing as he walked: "Dad, although Aunt Qiao is not tall and thin, she can actually lift the big bear with one hand and throw it several meters away..."
Xiaoyao Hou looked at his son lovingly, but was thinking in his heart: Is it because he has been keeping his son under control too much that he has become so obsessed with seeing someone strong that he gets stars in his eyes?
Wearing a Tang Dynasty uniform and a kitchen uniform, he just arrived at the back door and ran into the blind guy, Manager Zhao, who was bargaining for the pile of prey.
Looking at Qiao Xin's half-smile, he said: That's it? Fair, honest and impartial?
Xu Can's face turned red, and he was annoyed. He stepped forward and kicked away the chattering Shopkeeper Zhao.
Isn't this a slap in his face? He had promised Qiao Xin solemnly that the price was absolutely fair.
"Hey, who..." The shopkeeper opened his mouth to curse, but when he looked up, he saw Xu Can, who was fuming. He cursed and told him not to go back, but he didn't dare to say a word. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy. There were only two words in his mind: It's over!
Xu Canyou kicked him twice more, not satisfied. "You blind bastard, why are you so picky about my work? Are you tired of living?"
After beating the man, he pointed at Qiao Xin leaning against the door and the prey that looked like a small hill not far away, and said to his father: "Dad, it was she who saved me from the bear's mouth. Hey, you see, it was that bear. The situation was really thrilling. If I hadn't happened to meet them, I might have become a snack for the bear. It's scary to think about it!"
"Auntie, this is our father! Dad, this is my savior!" He pointed excitedly at Qiao Xin and her three children.
Xiaoyao Hou looked at Qiao Xin and her son. He became more suspicious of his son's words. Except for Qiao Yunxin, who was a bit burly, the other four people in front of him were pale and thin. It was obvious that they had not had enough food for many years. One of them even looked like a weak scholar. How could such a group of people hunt a brown bear and four wild boars at once?
Xiaoyao Hou narrowed his eyes and did not speak, but looked at them again and again.
Qiao Xin naturally felt the familiar scrutiny and lowered her brows. However, Qiao Yunqing took a step forward, cupped his hands, and bowed, saying, "Student greets the Marquis." The others followed suit.
Xiaoyao Hou then looked at Qiao Yunqing straight in the eye, concealed his true thoughts, waved at them, and laughed: "No need to be polite, thank you all for saving my son's life. You may as well go into the store and rest for a while. I have already asked someone to prepare a thank-you gift, you can wait for a while."
Qiao Yunqing glanced at Qiao Xin and saw that she was normal, and immediately understood. His adoptive mother had handed this matter over to him.
He quickly declined, "Thank you for the invitation, my Lord. I hope the prince returns safely. I have some important things to do at home, so I won't delay the reunion of the father and son."
Xu Can actually tried very hard to keep the family, especially Qiao Xin. He wanted to know how a woman could have such strength. "What do you want? I wonder if I can help you?"
"I appreciate your kindness, Your Highness, but I dare not trouble you with my own trivial matters." Qiao Xin refused without even thinking.
Xu Can wanted to speak more but was interrupted by Xiaoyao Hou, who motioned the butler to come forward and hand over the two thousand taels of silver. Qiao Xin was not polite and counted out the part she deserved in front of him. Then she returned the rest: "One thousand and thirteen taels is enough. These preys are worth a total of three hundred taels. We don't want the wild boars left in the mountains. If the prince needs them, he can take them directly. One thousand taels is the salary for sending you back safely according to our regulations. The rest is not needed."
Butler Fang glanced at his master, and then sincerely advised, "Big sister, take it, and consider it as a thank-you gift from my master!"
Qiao Xin shook her head firmly, "A gentleman loves money but earns it in a proper way. These are enough!" Then she walked to the ox cart and said, "Where are these prey? We need to unload them quickly. We need to take the ox cart back and return it to the owner!"
Shopkeeper Zhao quickly got up and pointed to a relatively empty area in the backyard and said, "I'll have someone move there right away!"
"No need to bother!"
Qiao Xin casually grabbed one of the bear's legs, shook it, and easily lifted up the brown bear weighing three or four hundred kilograms. He casually raised his hand, and with a "bang", the brown bear appeared at the place designated by Manager Zhao, without any error!
Then, she did the same thing again, throwing the wild boar in the car over, and then she clapped her hands calmly and said: "That's it!"
Xiaoyao Hou and his group, who were watching the whole process, were so shocked that their mouths opened wide and they were speechless for a long time.
He had always thought that his kid was exaggerating when he said he was as strong as an ox, especially after seeing the appearance of these people. This time, she realized that she was the one who judged people by their appearance! This big face really hurts!
What a pity, the other party is a woman!
Xiaoyao Hou felt sorry for them, and his eyes wandered around Qiao Yunxin and the others. He paid more attention to them, and he had already made up his mind to make friends with them! Especially Qiao Yunqing's aura, I don't know if it's an illusion, why does he have the aura of those old-timers in the court?
Xu Can's thoughts, which had been put aside, came out again, but a young master is a young master, and he is so arrogant when he wants people to join his gang. He crossed his arms and said proudly: "Why don't you follow me in the future? I promise that you will wear gold and silver, eat delicious food, drink spicy drinks, and live a happy life. You can even walk sideways in the capital!"
Qiao Xin had no interest in living under someone else's roof, so she naturally refused without hesitation.
Now even the dullest person can see that Qiao Xin and the others are not just pretending to be arrogant. They really don't need help from outsiders and are confident that they have the ability to support their own lives.
After a few more pleasantries, Qiao Xin said goodbye. Since it was not his fault, Xiaoyao Hou did not make things difficult for her and politely escorted her out.
As soon as they left, Xu Can asked his father why he didn't recruit them. Xiaoyao Hou sighed and explained to his son seriously for the first time: "I am a free and easy marquis, but I have recruited so many extraordinary people from the folk. How will the higher-ups see you? Your father is no longer the great general who conquered the north. Besides, this family has both civil and military talents. How could they be willing to be slaves? The most important thing right now is to find out whether your incident this time was man-made or an accident!"
Xu Can thought of the sachet that Qiao Xin asked him to throw away, and his eyes darkened...
