After the three children woke up, they didn't look for Yao Cuiliu, and Qiao Chu didn't say anything either.
Two days later, Qiao Xiaofu seemed to accidentally ask at the dinner table: "Auntie, where is my mother?"
Qiao Chu also said calmly: "She thought it would cause trouble to you here, so she went back to Xing'an County to do needlework."
Qiao Xiaofu stayed for a while and then said: "What are you doing sewing? You must want to go back and get married, right?"
Qiao Chuman said: "Maybe. Anyway, she said she was going back to do needlework."
The two younger ones both looked at Qiao Xiaofu.
Qiao Xiaofu patted their heads and said, "Eat. Sister is here."
"Yeah." The two little ones lowered their heads to eat.
Before going to bed, Qiao Xiaofu suddenly said to Qiao Chu: "Since she is leaving, why doesn't she say hello to us? Just leave secretly? Or she doesn't take us to heart."
Qiao Chu thought for a while and told Qiao Xiaofu: "The night before she left, she didn't sleep all night. She stayed in your room, looking at this and touching that, and she didn't leave quietly until dawn."
Qiao Xiaofu was stunned again, and sneered: "Huh! Who are you showing this to?!"
Qiao Erlu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "I thought it was a dream that night. My mother suddenly kissed me on the forehead beside my bed...it turned out it was not a dream!"
"It's just a dream!" Qiao Xiaofu said in a rare harsh words to his younger brother.
Qiao Erlu shrank his neck and did not dare to speak anymore.
Qiao Sanshou looked at his brother and sister blankly. She slept like a pig and didn't know anything that night.
Two days later, the maid quietly told Qiao Chu that Qiao Xiaofu had secretly packed up all the things Yao Cuiliu had worn before and asked someone to take them to Xing'an County.
"The things she used are placed here to hinder the eyes!"
After Qiao Chu and Chen Qingshan cleaned the little cub, fed him complementary food and put him to sleep, Chen Qingshan pestered Qiao Chu for two more times and said with all his heart, "This day is really good..."
Qiao Chu laughed at him and said, "What's so good? Since you came back, you have been running in and out with King Xiang every day, working for them, and you don't have any status."
Chen Qingshan chuckled: "Do you want me to serve in Jinlinwei?"
"I don't want to." Qiao Chu immediately shook his head: If you just want to help, you can go if you want. If you don't want to go, you can always stop going. It will be different if you are employed.
Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor.
If you take money, that’s your duty. If you don’t take money, that’s your duty!
Today, His Majesty the Emperor does not dare to openly force Qiao Chu and Chen Qingshan's family.
We are not short of money now, and no one in the family is bent on getting better. Let others do that kind of thing.
Unfortunately, the good days passed quickly.
At the beginning of the new year, a big event happened.
There was an earthquake in Tubo in the northwest. Along with the earthquake, there were abnormal celestial phenomena and all the beasts fled...
The ruler of Tubo ordered someone to send an urgent letter asking for help from 800 miles away. By the time the emperor received it, it had already been more than ten days since the earthquake.
what to do?
We must send someone there. After all, Tubo has paid tribute for many years and is very respectful and friendly to Zhou.
But who to send?
His Majesty the Emperor set his sights on Qiao Chu and Chen Qingshan.
This kind of miraculous event is obviously not something that human beings can do. Naturally, it would be more helpful for immortal cultivators to do it.
When the couple heard His Highness King Xiang's words, they were shocked: We can't stay in this capital!
As long as you are in the capital, you will always think of yourself whenever something happens...
But considering that Qiao Ancheng and his family were still begging for food from the emperor, Qiao Chu and Chen Qingshan looked at each other: "Go and have a look?"
Chen Qingshan nodded indifferently: "Just take a look."
This time it was King Xiang who brought some relief supplies to the public, while Qiao Chu and Chen Qingshan followed secretly to avoid exposing these two trump cards in advance and causing unnecessary precautions and covetousness.
When the three little ones heard that Qiao Chu was leaving, they were very reluctant to leave. However, this was an order from His Majesty the Emperor, and the three little ones knew they could not disobey it, so they had no choice but to say goodbye to Qiao Chu reluctantly.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said with assurance: "Mrs. Chen, please don't worry, I will take good care of them."
Qiao Xiaofu gave him a look: "Who wants you to take care of me?!"
There is a hint of casualness in his tone?!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince patted his chest: "I just like to take care of you! No one needs to tell me, I am willing to take the initiative to take care of you!"
It actually made Qiao Xiaofu laugh.
Qiao Chu looked at it coldly, it seemed that His Highness the Crown Prince's efforts had some effect!
Before setting off, Qiao Chu left a lot of fruits and vegetables grown in the Immortal Mansion space and dragon loaches raised by San Xiaozhi and Qiao Ancheng.
My sister-in-law is pregnant with a child. Eating more of this will be more beneficial to the health of both mother and child.
After His Majesty the Emperor found out, he shamelessly asked to prepare some for himself.
Qiao Chuxin generously prepared a copy for His Majesty the Emperor.
Is it okay now? You don’t have to compete with the children for food, right?!
But Chen Qingshan and Qiao Chu didn't know that Concubine Rong returned to the capital less than half a month after they left the capital.
When she heard that Chen Qingshan and his wife had actually left the capital and gone to Tubo, Concubine Rong was not happy at that time and she pulled the queen to mutter.
His Majesty the Emperor had no choice but to comfort her: "How about the concubine going back to the palace to stay for a while? It just so happens that everyone in the harem also misses you."
"I want to live in Baguajing Lane." Concubine Rong moved into Qiao Chu's house in Baguajing Lane without saying a word.
His Majesty the Emperor sighed: I also want to live in Baguajing Alley.
But since Qiao Chu left, living in Baguajing Lane seems to be no different from living in the palace. I still have insomnia at night...
Could it be that only when Qiao Chu is around, can I feel that comfortable even when I breathe!?
Qiao Chu and Chen Qingshan were sitting in the carriage at this time. Chen Qingshan was holding the babbling little Lin'er in his hand, and Qiao Chu was flipping through an ancient book in his hand.
At Qiao Chu's feet, there were also several ancient books.
These were all given by His Majesty the Emperor before departure, and were found in the residence of the previous Imperial Preceptor.
If you want a horse to run, you need to feed it.
His Majesty the Emperor knew that gold, silver and jewelry were not very attractive to Qiao Chu. After much deliberation, he found that only the items found by the imperial master might be of some use to Qiao Chu, so he gave them all to Qiao Chu.
There's no use holding it yourself anyway, it's just good to use it as a favor.
"Is it useful?" Chen Qingshan took the time to ask Qiao Chu while arguing with the little kid in front of him.
Qiao Chu came back to his senses and patted the ancient books: "It's not of much use..."
"Then our trip was not in vain for him?" Chen Qingshan suddenly felt a little disappointed.
"That can't be said..." Qiao Chu patted the ancient books beside him.
This book talks about some things about this small world, which are really useful.
There is a book that talks about the bliss of the West, where people live forever and so on.
Qiao Chu was not someone who followed others' opinions. After a brief analysis, he came to a conclusion: the so-called immortal people should be immortal cultivators.
The lives of immortal cultivators are much longer than those of ordinary people. To ordinary people, they seem to be immortal.
And the Imperial Master also mentioned Kunlunxu in a handbook, and he actually came from Kunlunxu?!
