Qiao Xin's actions in Laohu Town could not be hidden from anyone who was interested. The Qiao family's businesses were spread across seven or eight villages along the Qingshui River. Every time the inspection team went to a place, they dug up a few troublemakers.
These people either embezzled their master's money, or used their power to arbitrarily place their cronies in positions of power and squeeze out capable employees. Some of them also secretly used the Qiao family's banner to commit evil, and even caused deaths!
If Qiao Xin had not come to conduct this self-examination and discovered the problem in time, I am afraid that these evil things would continue to develop and would eventually become a handle for political enemies to attack the master of the Qiao family!
When everything came to an end, a thick letter of apology appeared on Emperor Wu's desk.
Emperor Wu looked unpredictable, and his posture was calm and relaxed: Listen to what I said, if the disease is on the skin, it can be cured by medicine, but if it is deep in the bone marrow, medicine cannot cure it. It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one, and this method of cutting the Gordian knot is not inferior to any man!
The King of Qi laughed and said, "The old lady has a straightforward personality and has always been afraid of trouble!"
He felt from the bottom of his heart that all the civil and military officials in the court were not as free and easy as a woman!
It’s also about dividing the family. Look at Xiaoyao Hou’s old mother, who has been causing chaos in the mansion recently.
Unable to handle his own son, he actually asked the Queen Mother to suppress Xiaoyao Hou. Even the emperor had heard about it.
Emperor Wu shed tears of sympathy for his minister. What can he do with such an old mother? It's all fate!
......
Xu Can had a showdown with Xiaoyao Hou since he came back from the gambling house that day.
Either separate from my second great aunt, or separate him out on his own!
"What's the point of dividing the family, you little bastard? As long as I'm alive, don't even think about it!"
Xu Can looked at his father and this time he refused to give in no matter what.
"Okay, if we don't split up, you just wait for me to collect my body. Today they can set up a trap to trick me into the gambling house, and tomorrow they can bribe the bandits to take my life. How many lives do you think I have to live like this? I can't meet the old lady every time!
Dad, they are scheming but not really, how can I defend myself? "
Xiaoyao Hou stood up and walked to the backyard: "I will definitely give you an explanation!"
Xu Can looked at his father's fleeing back and snorted coldly.
It's like this every time!
He has lost hope!
His father will never let go of his grandmother and his second uncle's family.
"My Lord, what shall we do?"
"Moving, do you really think I'm kidding? His Majesty is selecting armored guards, and I want to go to the martial arts hall to sign up!"
"My Lord, this is not possible. I'm afraid you can't pass this test with your skills!"
"Is there anyone like you who would boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige? The boxing and kicking skills I learned with Qiao Dalang are not as good as Dalang's. How can we be better than those good-for-nothings in the capital who eat Wu Shi San every day?"
"That's right. You were trained by the old lady after all. If the Marquis doesn't allow you to guard the border, then being a personal guard of His Majesty in the capital is a good place to go. I heard that Young Master Qiao is going there too!"
Didn’t Xu Can decide to go in just because Dalang went there? No matter where he goes, it’s always safer to have someone to protect him than to fight alone!
Qiao Dalang's fighting skills are no joke. He has inherited his grandmother's true strength, so uprooting a weeping willow tree is a piece of cake for him!
His Majesty has specifically asked me to participate in the selection of the Armored Guards. Who dares to interfere?
Xu Can had been in a cold war with his father for a few days, and then he was shocked to hear that Qiao Xin had separated from the family!
He stood up suddenly, looking surprised: "Have you found out clearly? Is the news true?"
"Oh, my prince, this matter has spread all over the capital. The old lady divided the family property in one day. The division was clear and obvious!
I heard that the masters of the Qiao family were driven to their assigned mansions that day and were not allowed to visit the ancestral home unless necessary.
More importantly, General Qiao went to the palace the next day to help the princess divorce her husband, and His Majesty approved it on the spot. Do you think his style of doing things is similar to that of the old lady?"
Xu Can was so envious that his teeth ached!
It's true that comparing goods will lead to throwing them away, and comparing people will lead to death!
When will his father be able to stand up like this again?
Xu Can sighed, "Chu Yuan, we are all grandmothers, why is there such a big difference? The one in our family wants to peel off our father's skin to subsidize the second house, unlike Madam Qiao who treats everyone equally!
Chu Yuan just scratched his head and said, "Don't you want to marry an older girl? Get the general and the old lady's consent. Then you can be considered a member of their family in the future. Then we don't have to hide here and envy you!"
Xu Can had no confidence at this time. Qiao Lingyin's current status was more than enough to be a prince or a prince.
"It's difficult. I haven't even passed the old lady's test, let alone Qiao Dalang and the general. What else do I have besides this title of Juren? The old lady may not look down on me!"
Chu Yuan panicked: "My Lord, please try harder. The old lady should consider the character when choosing her grandson-in-law. You still have hope!
Besides, the Qiao family girls are all very strong in combat. It would be like killing a bug if they crushed the prince. If they slapped him in a dream, wouldn't that be considered killing the prince or the emperor's grandson?"
Xu Can rolled his eyes at him. What the hell are you talking about? If you don’t know how to comfort others, then don’t comfort them!
The prince’s life is life, but the life of the crown prince is not life?
But he seemed to be possessed and couldn't appreciate those ladies who considered thinness as beauty nowadays.
It eats like a sparrow and gasps three times with every step it takes!
If you sneeze at them, they can turn into kites and fly into the sky like paper people!
The last time my grandmother hosted a banquet, not all the women invited were like this. Only a few granddaughters of the Qiao family and a few women from military families were open and generous, and they were pleasing to the eye!
He really doubted whether he could have children by marrying these noble ladies. Wouldn't they have the energy to take care of the household chores in the rear house?
Xu Can thought again of his stubborn old father and his current situation, and suddenly understood what Qiao Xin had said before.
Status is given by others, only ability belongs to yourself!
This applies to both men and women!
Didn't the three uncles of the Qiao family tell him this truth with their actions? If they didn't have the ability, how could their relatives tirelessly and proactively come to the door to seek peace?
.......
In the following days, Chu Yuan discovered that his young master seemed to have changed his heart. He used to be such a lazy person, but now he was eager to practice martial arts and study hard by lamplight at midnight!
In the past, I would ask about the Marquis's whereabouts seven or eight times a day, but these past few days, he hasn't even mentioned him!
Chu Yuan was very anxious. He had not seen the prince make any progress in all these years and all he wanted to do was to lie down and relax. Even when he went to study at the Qiao family, it was voluntary and he was urged by the old lady.
Now that it has stood up, it has completely surprised everyone!
One day the young man rises with the wind and soars up to 90,000 miles!
When Xiaoyao Hou learned that Xu Can had become a member of His Majesty's guards with his own abilities!
He quickly divided up the house and moved in with his luggage to live next door to Xu Can that same day. He even gave the Marquis's Mansion to his old mother who was working so hard!
Xu Can:.........
