The bamboo forest is quiet, fresh and pleasant.

The breeze blew, and Lin Tao gusted.

The noise outside the main gate of Qiao's Mansion gradually dissipated, and dozens of people walked into the backyard carrying large and small boxes.

"Ah Shui, what are you doing here, who came to the house to ask for relatives again?"

On the corridor of the back yard, four girls in brocade clothes and skirts came and met a group of servants carrying wooden boxes. One of them, a beautiful girl, raised her hand to stop Qiao Shui, the janitor in the front yard, and asked softly.

"Ah Shui has seen two young ladies." Seeing that the eldest lady inquired, the little maid Ah Shui hurriedly ran forward and said respectfully: "Miss, this is the bride price sent by the two sons in the main hall of the front yard, according to the old rules that the master explained before, ten cars of bride price, we moved three cars, and the remaining seven cars were all returned." ”

"Is this a bride price?" When the eldest lady heard this, she pointed to the box in her hand incredulously and asked in surprise.

Ah Shui nodded ignorantly and said, "That's right, there was originally a red silk happy word on the box, but we ripped it off and threw it away." ”

"Ahh And the red silk happy word? The eldest lady's delicate face changed again, and she was stunned.

Ah Shui continued: "Today, the master is very angry, when he first entered the main hall, he accidentally knocked over a pot of hot tea, and his feet burned, and as a result, he was unsteady on his feet, and knocked down three vases. The old man was angry just now, and he didn't talk to the two sons who gave gifts for a long time. By the way, they are here to pick up their relatives, and now the lord is reprimanding them in the main hall! ”

"Kissing? What kind of relatives, who wants to marry in the house? At this time, a beautiful woman who was not inferior to the eldest lady walked up behind the eldest lady and asked curiously.

"Uh, this 、、、、、、" Ah Shui suddenly woke up, his eyes wandered and he didn't dare to look at the two young ladies, and he didn't dare to answer.

The eldest lady raised her eyebrows slightly, and said in a deep tone of displeasure: "Ask you something." You will come as you are, and do what you do. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, the villain must be truthful!" Seeing that the eldest lady looked displeased, Ah Shui nodded again and again in fright, like a chicken pecking.

After a little relaxation, Ah Shui reported truthfully: "Today, these two sons are more strange, they are wearing red wedding robes, and they sent ten carts of dowries, all of which were arranged in accordance with the six-color ceremony, and three matchmakers and Lile came to the house together. Just now, the villain quietly asked a servant named Lu Su. He told me that today his two brothers came to Qiao's Mansion to welcome their relatives, and the person he wanted to marry was 、、、 and Xiaoqiao. ”

After trembling and speaking, Ah Shui Ma retreated, for fear that the two young ladies would be angry with him.

"What? You said they were coming to marry us two sisters today? After the eldest lady and the second lady heard this. They looked at each other and asked in unison.

Apparently. The eldest lady is the big Joe who was born with the appearance of a sinking fish and a goose. Famous Qiao Liang; The second lady is the little Qiao who is blessed with the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon, named Qiao Wan.

However, women in this era rarely call their full names, and they generally use nicknames or honorific titles before leaving the cabinet. After getting married, the husband's surname or the honorific title of the position is used. or surname; Such as: Zhen Zhang's family, the general's wife, the princess's wife or Qiao's, and so on. Therefore, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are the names of Er Qiao, and the full names of the two sisters are rarely revealed.

"Ridiculous!" The two sisters were shocked for a while. Da Qiao walked lightly to Ah Shui and asked, "Who are these two sons, have they been here before?" ”

Ah Shui lowered his head and wanted to retreat further, but he was already leaning on the pillar, and there was no way to retreat.

Seeing that he couldn't hide, Ah Shui had to report according to the truth: "That Lu Su told the villain the names of the two sons in the hall, the leader is called Li Li, and the other is called Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu was the head of the nest before, born in the Zhou family in Lujiang, and was very famous, and everyone had heard of the name Zhou Yu. ”

"Zhou Yu?" Da Qiao groaned in surprise, and immediately remembered who Zhou Yu was, and exclaimed: "It turned out to be him, Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin!" ”

Before Da Qiao's words fell, I saw Xiao Qiao'e frowning slightly, and groaned: "Li Li? This name is so familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere, why can't I remember it! ”

"Sister, do you mean Li Li?" Da Qiaoqiao's face was shocked, and he asked urgently.

Xiao Qiao nodded lightly and said, "That's right!" Could it be that my sister only paid attention to Zhou Yu's name, and didn't hear Ah Shui say that the person headed by Li Li was named Li Li? It's just that who is Li Li, I seem to have heard it somewhere, but I can't remember it? ”

"Ahh Da Qiao's delicate face changed suddenly, and he looked at Xiao Qiao incredulously, and screamed in surprise and inexplicably.

Xiao Qiao was frightened by this scream, and said softly with a stunned expression: "Sister, 、、、、、、 are you?"

"Sister, my stupid sister, you say his name every day, why can't you remember it now? He's coming, he's coming for you! Da Qiao walked up to Xiao Qiao with a complicated expression, and said softly with a little emotion.

"Who's coming?" Xiao Qiao was stunned, and his delicate body trembled slightly, and he whispered: "Li Li, Li Wenchang, Xiliang Li Li Li Wenchang!" Is it really him? ”

In an instant, Xiao Qiao retreated again and again, his delicate body trembled, and extremely complicated emotions flashed on his beautiful cheeks: hesitation, surprise, panic, sweetness, and disbelief. But these fleeting feelings finally turned into two lines of crystal tears, a cry and a silent choke.

Immediately, Xiao Qiao threw herself into the arms of her sister Da Qiao, crying with joy, and lovesick tears slipped from her pink and fair cheeks.

Da Qiao gently patted his sister Qianruo's boneless back, and said softly: "Sister took back the words before, Li Wenchang didn't leave you alone, and he was not a lucky person, let alone abandoned from the beginning." After half a month, he came to you, which shows that he did not leave Yangzhou and did not abandon you. Sister, you are happy, you also heard it, he came this time to marry you, and you don't have to be afraid in the future. ”

"Sister!" Xiao Qiao was embarrassed and whispered to Da Qiao: "Sister, I can't hide anything from you." Li Lang left me for nineteen days, and I should have had my menstrual period seven days ago, but until now there has been no movement. I'm worried about dying these days, for fear that if it drags on like this, sooner or later it will be exposed, and I won't be able to hide it at all. ”

After Da Qiao heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and he hurriedly pulled Xiao Qiao towards the boudoir. After a while, she instructed the maid to stand guard outside the door, then closed the door tightly, and asked Xiao Qiao in disbelief, "Sister." What you just said is true, are you really pregnant? ”

Xiao Qiao's neck turned crimson with shame, and he lowered his head and said softly: "I'm not sure if it's really there, maybe it's because I'm too anxious these days, so that the menstrual period is not normal." ”

"Hmm." Da Qiao nodded slightly, sat next to Xiao Qiao, and whispered softly: "It should be that you have been too nervous recently, and you have been talking about him all day long, so you are like this." Otherwise, you're only once. How could you get pregnant? ”

Xiao Qiao was ashamed when she heard this, and then she didn't know that the string was misaligned, or she felt that her sister was a little contemptuous of her man's ability, which made her feel very uncomfortable. So she whispered to Da Qiao, "It's true, but it's one time, but he's one night." It caused me to pass out after several times in a row. He's not done yet! ”

Xiao Qiao's words are powerful. Hearing this, Da Qiao's delicate body was soft, her phoenix eyes were wide open, and she was short of breath, her face was red and her ears were red.

Then she said to Xiao Qiao infinitely shyly: "No shame, this kind of thing can be said!" When you hear that he is coming for you, it is like a different person. Dare to say anything, and have no mouth to cover. In my opinion, you are hopeless in this life, and one day let him sell you. You're still smiling in the dark! ”

"Hee-hee-hee!" After Xiao Qiao heard this, instead of getting angry, he grinned and hugged Da Qiao's slender waist and said with a smile: "Sister, have there been secrets between our sisters over the years?" However, I could hear that my sister was jealous of me, and envied that my sister had found a good husband, so she arranged me in annoyance. But didn't Ah Shui say just now, in addition to Li Lang, there was another person who came to greet him. Hey, what's his name? ”

Da Qiao blurted out when he heard this: "Zhou Yu! ”

"Giggles! I know it's Zhou Yu, deliberately teasing you! Little Joe quipped with a smile.

"Okay, you dare to tease my sister, see how I clean you up!" Da Qiao shyly got up as he spoke, and threw Xiao Qiao down on the couch.

"Hee-hee-hee!"

After the sisters quarreled for a while, they lay on the couch panting, and Xiao Qiao said softly: "Sister, do you think that my father will refuse Li Lang's door-to-door proposal?" ”

"That's for sure. Don't you know your father's mind? Da Qiao said helplessly.

Xiao Qiao turned over and sat up when he heard the sound, pursed his red lips, and said with a resolute expression: "I have identified Li Lang in my life, except for him, I would rather die than marry anyone else." Sister, what about you? Since Zhou Yu came with Li Lang, he must be willing to follow Li Lang, so that if my sister marries Zhou Yu, then our sisters can meet often in the future. I don't know what my sister thinks? ”

Da Qiao got up lightly and said with a smile: "Why do I have to marry Zhou Yu, can't I marry Li Wenchang?" Your Li Lang is the lord, Zhou Yu is the minister, according to the order of the elder and the youngest, shouldn't I marry Li Li? ”

"Ahh Xiao Qiaoqiao's face changed greatly, but she accidentally noticed the playful smile in her sister's eyes, and immediately she said with a smile: "Okay, anyway, my sister doesn't want to be separated from my sister, so we sisters just serve the same husband, so wouldn't it be the best of both worlds!" However, I heard that Li Lang already has several wives and concubines, and my sister can only be a concubine after following Li Lang, I wonder if my sister is willing to be a concubine? ”

"It's 、、、、、、 you win. Since you treat Li Li as a treasure, then I will give it to you! Big Joe said discouragedly. However, although her tone was quite helpless, she actually had a smile on her eyebrows.

Xiao Qiao looked at Da Qiao with a smile and said with a smile: "So, my sister is willing to marry Zhou Yu?" That's good, save Li Lang a lot of things, otherwise if my sister is unwilling to marry, even if my sister wants to marry, I have to wait until my sister gets married before I can leave the cabinet, so as not to be discussed. ”

It wasn't until this time that Da Qiao knew that he had just fallen into his sister's trap. However, she has a good impression of Zhou Yu, and she has mentioned Zhou Gongjin many times before, with a burly posture, both civil and military, but unfortunately she has never had the opportunity to see her.

This time, Zhou Yu came to propose marriage, if he was really as rumored, and he didn't marry a wife, Da Qiao was really a little moved. After all, she was already in her teens, and she was twenty years old at the time, which was a good age for marriage. What's more, my sister Xiao Qiao has a husband, doesn't she have anyone to ask for it, can't she continue to be an old girl?

As soon as he thought of this, Da Qiao tidied up Luo's skirt and pulled Xiao Qiao out: "It's too early to say this, let's see if this Li Li is the Li Wenchang you are looking for, and then act at the opportunity!" ”
