Chapter 112: Paying respects to father-in-law again for Er Qiao
Zhou Yi served as the Luoyang Order for ten years. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he resigned and returned to Shucheng, Lujiang, and his son Zhou Yu also went back with him. Originally, Zhou Yu did not want to return to Lujiang, but Zhou Yi said:
"If you want to help Liu Zhang, you must be capable. If you want to be capable, you must study hard. The colorful world like Luoyang is not suitable for studying hard!"
Zhou Yu thought his father's words made sense, so he returned to Lujiang with his father and settled in a cottage in Lujiang to study hard. When the servants of the Qiao family told Zhou Yu the news that Liu Zhang was coming to Lujiang, Zhou Yu was so excited that he almost jumped up. In order to meet him earlier,
Liu Zhang and Zhou Yu actually went to Qiao's house to stay temporarily, which made Zhou Yi dumbfounded.
It only took Liu Zhang and others ten days to arrive at Wancheng in Lujiang. Although they had a longer trip and more people on the outing, they were all elite soldiers. If they had not taken care of Cai Yan and his daughters, they would have traveled from Luoyang to Lujiang.
, I'm afraid I won't even last ten days. Of course, while taking care of the girls, I also have to take care of Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai. These two weak scholars have experienced a lot of hardships, and Guo Jia is constantly in trouble.
Complain: If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have followed my lord!
"I've seen Mr. Qiao!" When Liu Zhang came, he naturally had to be greeted by someone. As a great scholar and father-in-law, Qiao Xuan couldn't wait at the door, so Qiao Xuan's son Qiao Yu became the reception ambassador. The weather in Yuzhou was already approaching late autumn.
In winter, Qiao Yu stood at the door for more than an hour, shivering from the cold.
"Please!" Seeing Liu Zhang salute, Qiao Yu trembled and returned the salute: "Brother, if you are a little later, I will freeze to death!"
Zhang Fei grinned and said: "Brother Qiao, your body is too thin. Why don't you practice with the brothers? I guarantee that it won't take long for you to be strong and not afraid of the wind and cold!"
"Yide! Don't be rude!" Liu Zhang clasped his fists and said, "Brother Qiao, don't blame me. This brother of mine just speaks freely!"
"Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide are rare warriors under my elder brother, and I have admired him for a long time! However, please come into the room to chat again. Thank you, little brother! Yawn!" Qiao Yu sneezed and quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe it.
He smiled awkwardly at Liu Zhang.
"Brother Qiao, please come first!" Liu Zhang saw that Qiao Yu was indeed a little cold, so he asked him to go in first. Liu Zhang turned around and helped Cai Yan, Xiao Qiao and Zhang Ning from the carriage. The four girls got out of the carriage.
Qiao Yu's eyes widened. Qiao and Qiao were originally beauties, and with the addition of Zhang Ning and Cai Yan, they were like a bunch of beauties.
"This..." Qiao Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Brother is so lucky!"
Liu Zhang chuckled and said: "There are two of you here who are your sisters, I mean brothers-in-law!"
When Xiao Qiao heard what Liu Zhang said, her face turned red. Qiao Yu couldn't make her sister look bad, so she immediately smiled and said: "Guys, please come in!"
Liu Zhang and Qiao Yu walked in hand in hand, followed closely by Cai Yan's four daughters, while the 500 people under Liu Zhang's command were taken to an empty house by servants of the Qiao family and settled there.
"I've seen you, brother!" As soon as Liu Zhang entered the door, a boy in his teens bowed to him in the courtyard.
"Zhou Yu!" Liu Zhang was very happy to see Zhou Yu. He quickly ran over to support Zhou Yu and said, "I haven't seen you in a few years. You have grown a lot taller!"
"Not only have the eldest brother grown up, but he also has four beautiful sisters-in-law!" After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he bowed to Cai Yan's four daughters and said, "My younger brother Zhou Yu, named Gong Jin, has met several sisters-in-law!"
"You are only ten years old, you can say that!" Liu Zhang smiled and helped Zhou Yu up, and glanced at Xiao Qiao with his peripheral vision, only to find that Xiao Qiao was just looking at him, his face was red and very cute.
Zhou Yu didn't know what Liu Zhang was thinking. He smiled and said: "Brother, what are you talking about? Originally, this word was not used until crowning. But my father said that good men are everywhere. Who knows when I will go out, so you might as well get it for me in advance.
Already."
"Okay! I will call you Gongjin from now on as my brother!" Liu Zhang patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder and walked into the Qiao family hall with him.
Qiao Xuan had been waiting in the hall for a long time. When he saw Liu Zhang, Qiao Xuan laughed and said, "How slow your nephew comes!"
"I have met my father-in-law!" Liu Zhang bowed down and bowed to the end. It can be said that besides kneeling and kowtow, this is the greatest gift.
"You...what did you call me?" Qiao Xuan looked at Liu Zhang in surprise.
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "My father-in-law has given me both my beloved daughters. Do I really think of them as maids? Your Majesty has decreed that I marry Uncle Cai's daughter. However, in my heart, both Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are the same."
My wife, I am here today to propose marriage to my father-in-law. Although it is a bit reckless, I hope my father-in-law will understand my intentions!"
Qiao Xuan stared at Liu Zhang, but when he saw his eyes were clear and sincere, Qiao Xuan couldn't help laughing and said: "That makes me feel relieved! Dear son-in-law, please take good care of my two daughters!"
"My father-in-law didn't say anything, but that's what I thought too! My wife, of course, must be taken good care of!" When Liu Zhang said this, he burst out with a domineering air. Cai Yan and the other four girls stared at his back, their faces flushed.
Xiao Qiao was even more moved, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Okay! Yu'er opened the banquet, let me take care of my virtuous son-in-law!" Qiao Xuan's biggest concern is the two daughters beside Liu Zhang. You know, the status of concubines in ancient times was the same as that of cattle and horses. Now with Liu Zhang's guarantee,
Even if Qiao Xuan died, he would still be able to feel at ease.
Liu Zhang came here just to make a guarantee to Qiao Xuan. After all, with Qiao Xuan's status, Liu Zhang would be lucky to have a daughter from him. You see, in history, after Sun Ce captured Wancheng and captured Er Qiao, he and Zhou Yu were alone
One. It’s not that Sun Ce wants to divide, but that he has to. Now that both of the two princes belong to Liu Zhang, he can’t just get an advantage and behave like a good boy!
A family dinner was a feast for both the host and the guest. Qiao Xuan was carried down in the end, but Qiao Yu had already put his head on the plate in front of him. Fortunately, Qiao Xuan still ate at separate tables according to the custom of the Han Dynasty, otherwise Liu Zhang would definitely
If you want to have a hot pot, maybe Qiao Yu's head will not be placed on the plate, but in the hot pot.
"Alas!" Liu Zhang was drunk and staggered. He wanted to go to the room that Qiao Xuan arranged for him. Unexpectedly, when he passed by a door, he heard a familiar voice sighing. Liu Zhang took advantage of his drunkenness and pushed it open.
The doorman asked: "Why are you sighing?"
"Young... Young Master!" It turned out that this was Zhang Ning's room. Seeing Liu Zhang's drunken appearance, Zhang Ning quickly stood up and supported him.
"Why is Ning'er sighing? Is there something on your mind? Tell me, I will definitely solve it for you!" Leaning on Zhang Ning and smelling the fragrance of virginity on her body, Liu Zhang suddenly felt a little distraught, but he still remembered Zhang Ning's faint words just now.
Sigh.
"No...no!" Zhang Ning helped Liu Zhang to the bed and wanted to bring him a bowl of sobering soup, but Liu Zhang grabbed her hand.
Liu Zhang took Zhang Ning's hand, forced her to sit beside the bed, then hugged her waist and whispered in her ear: "Ning'er, your father asked me to take care of you, and I don't know you either."
What do you think? However, in my heart, I don’t want you to leave... If you are willing to follow me... you will be my wife, and I, Liu Zhang and Liu Jiyu, will never let you down..."
"Young Master...I..." Zhang Ning felt inexplicably happy when she heard Liu Zhang say that she was his wife. She was about to say something when she suddenly heard a strange noise.
"Huh... ha..." It turned out that Liu Zhang drank too much and fell asleep as soon as he leaned on the bed. Zhang Ning ran his fingers across Liu Zhang's handsome face and said softly: "I like the young master so much!"
After a night of silence, Liu Zhang got up in the morning and found that he seemed to have slept in the wrong room. Just as he was about to call someone, Zhang Ning pushed open the door with toiletries in hand and said, "Young master, are you awake? Come and wash yourself!"
Seeing Zhang Ning's brows brighten as he spoke, Liu Zhang suddenly asked in confusion: "Ning'er, I didn't do anything yesterday, did I?"
"No...no!" Liu Zhang didn't say anything. It was a good thing. When he asked this question, Zhang Ning's face turned red, even to the root of his neck.
"Why are you blushing without me?" Liu Zhang asked still unwilling to give up.
"Yeah!" Zhang Ning couldn't stand it anymore. She put down the toiletries and ran out. A message came from a distance: "Master, please wash up first, I'll go prepare breakfast!"
"Uh..." Liu Zhang couldn't help but touch his head strangely and said to himself: "We are living in Qiao's house now, doesn't Old Qiao even prepare breakfast for me?"
After washing up, Liu Zhang came to the hall, where Qiao Xuan and others were already waiting. Seeing Liu Zhang arriving, Qiao Xuan immediately invited everyone to sit down. However, this was not breakfast, but a morning meal. Generally, the ancients only ate two meals, and the wealthy
At most, people can have some snacks at noon.
After finishing the meal, Qiao Xuan went back to his room to continue resting. Naturally, a seventy-year-old man could not compete with youngsters like Liu Zhang. However, after Qiao Xuan left, the atmosphere in the hall became much more harmonious.
"Brother, I have recently made friends with a young hero. Although his strategy is inferior to mine, his martial arts are extraordinary. I wonder if you would like to meet him?" Zhou Yu looked at Liu Zhang with a proud look on his face.
Liu Zhang looked surprised and asked: "Is there anyone in the world who is more heroic than Gong Jin?"
Zhou Yu said with a bitter face: "Brother, why do you have to embarrass me! However, the person I am talking about is really a hero!"
"To get such praise from Gong Jin, you have to meet him!" Zhou Yu didn't have many friends, but they were all elites. How could Liu Zhang not meet them?
Under the leadership of Zhou Yu, Liu Zhang and others headed for the outskirts of the city. Accompanying Liu Zhang were not only Zhang Fei and other generals, but also Cai Yan and Zhang Ning, while Xiao Qiao accompanied Qiao Xuan and his wife.
"Drink...ha..." In a large house in the suburbs, a young man was flying up and down with a big gun. This man was the young hero Zhou Yu knew.
"Bang bang!" A knock on the door alerted the young man who was practicing martial arts. He opened the door and saw several young men about his age standing at the door, vaguely headed by one of the young men in purple clothes. Behind the young man in purple clothes, there was
One person was a friend he had only recently met.
"Gong Jin!" The young man looked at the people at the door and asked, "Who are these?"
Just as Zhou Yu was about to introduce him, Liu Zhang saluted and said, "My name is Ji Yu. I have been friends with Gong Jin since childhood. I heard that he met a young hero, so I came here to visit him!"
