Step on a branch

Chapter 284 Warm Hands
Qiaoyu has a deep bond with her family.

Even at this moment, after knowing everything, and looking back at herself as a child, she still couldn't see any violations.

She also knew many "foster" children.

Most of them have lost their parents and can only beg for food under the hands of relatives.

Even the uncles and aunts who are close as direct relatives, it is difficult to keep smiling for ten years when they treat the extra mouth in the family.

Hard-working common people, daily necessities, rice, oil and salt are life.

Occasionally, a few of them brought enough money when they were sent to others.

Not only enough to feed and clothe oneself, but also to improve the lives of others.

Such children are either "coaxed and deceived" by their elders, or "enshrined and respected".

The former is taken advantage of, the latter is a clay statue.

Life is not bad, even affluent, but from the beginning to the end, it is not like a "family".

Qiaoyu's childhood was different.

The adoptive parents took the money from the biological parents, and raised her as their own child very carefully and attentively.

Praise when you should, and fight when you should.

After the beating, the mother cried until her eyes were swollen. She hugged her mother and cried to admit her mistake.

A true family.

Except that she was never asked to do rough work, she was just a very ordinary city girl.

It is precisely because of this that Qiaoyu is so at a loss when her life experience is revealed.

The saying that the old people often hang on their lips is "fallen leaves return to their roots".

This peace of mind is my hometown.

What about her roots?

How can she feel at ease?
The old lady hugged Qiaoyu's shoulder and patted it lightly.

Of course she could see what her daughter was thinking.

This is also the reason why she insisted on taking Qiaoyu to the west.

"I thought, I'll tell you all this after I get to Feimenguan," the old lady smiled, "I'll let you see with your own eyes the place where your father fought, the city he wanted to conquer, the land he wanted to recover .

He is no longer here, but he was here again.

His enemies hated him, and his soldiers missed him.

You'll be nearer to him if you look at it than what I've said.

But now, we can only live here for the time being, and we don't know when we will be able to reach Feimen Pass.

I don't want you to think wildly, so I'll just tell you everything first. "

Qiaoyu leaned on the old lady and said: "I promise you, I will definitely see it with my own eyes, hear it with my own ears, and adapt to it..."

"Get used to it," the old lady said softly, "Everyone else take their time, try first and stop calling yourself a 'servant'."

Qiao Yu blinked.

Pursing her lower lip, she nodded, and then nodded again: "OK."

"Finding roots" is hard.

It is also difficult to be a girl from the Duke's Mansion.

But she is not afraid.

Along the way, Miss Qin Er showed her a noble girl that was completely different from what she knew.

Ride the fastest horse and punch the hardest.

Can be drenched in the rain, can sleep on broken haystacks.

Qiaoyu admires Miss Qin Er very much, from the bottom of her heart.

What's more, there was a warm hand in front of her, passing through layers of fog.

As long as she holds this hand and walks forward bravely, she will definitely be able to get out of this fog.

Outside the house, Lin Zhi stood motionless.

She came to talk to the old lady, but she didn't expect that it would be a heart-wrenching conversation between mother and daughter.

At this moment, it must be inappropriate to interrupt, but I can leave quietly...

Lin Zhi was also worried that Qiaoyu would not be able to accept it for a while and would react irrationally.

Then she has to go in and act as a buffer.

After all, even if it is a mother and daughter who are affectionate, they can say as little as possible, not to mention that the relationship between the mother and daughter is not ordinary at all.

Fortunately, both the old lady and Qiaoyu were stable.

Raising his hand, his fingertips quickly slid across the corner of his eyes.

Then, she gently left.

On the other side, the broken carriage was driving Qin Luan and others on the official road.

Not far in front of them was Anjia's cavalry.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, they encountered the first bayonet.

The horse team stepped forward and took out Wen Ci.

After the officers and soldiers looked it over, they asked again, compared people carefully, and found that the goods were right, before they raised their hands and let them go.

The broken carriage swayed forward.

The officers and soldiers shouted: "Get out of the car, everyone get out of the car and check."

Qin Luan and Ji Shi climbed out of the car.

The officers and soldiers took the guides of the two and asked, "Three people, four quotations?"

Ji said awkwardly: "My son is in the car, he is seriously ill and can't move."

The officers and soldiers frowned and opened the curtain to look.

The young man lying in the car had a sallow complexion, black eyes, and dull eyes, as if he was about to die.

"You're going to die..." the officers and soldiers muttered, looking down at Wen Ci.

The height and age are all right, the destination is Feimenguan, to find the man who joined the army and lost the news.

The place "Feimenguan" made officers and soldiers have to be cautious.

He looked Ji Shi and Qin Luan up and down.

Qin Luan hid half of her body behind Ji Shi, talking to Ji Shi like a mosquito.

"How long will it take? Brother is sick..."

"Wait a little longer," Ji comforted softly, seeing the officers and soldiers staring at him, he apologized and said with a smile, "The child has never traveled far, so the officer can't blame..."

The officers and soldiers handed Wen Ci back.

That country girl spoke with a country accent that everyone in their prefectures disliked.

Could this be the noble daughter of Jingli?

The Ji family thanked her, stuffed Qin Luan into the carriage, and climbed up by herself.

The handlebar pushes the horse forward again.

Not long after, they caught up with the horse team ahead.

The bayonet was getting farther and farther behind the car, and Ji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, she also knew clearly that this was the first level, and after that, they would encounter levels where they couldn't count with both hands.

Whether you can get away with it depends on your luck.

Xu is that A Rui's steward asked people to make false quotations, Xu is luck is really on their side, even after entering the Qiyang mansion, the carriage is considered smooth.

"Further ahead," said the Ji family while nibbling dry food, "it's Qiyang Prefecture City, and many members of the Yan clan live in this area."

Qin Feng said: "We will not enter the city."

"No," Ji nodded, "but we have to guard against them. The eldest princess said that the magistrate named Tang Cho was single-handedly picked up by the Yan family."

To be precise, he was promoted by Duke Fu.

To be able to pass the Jinshi examination, at least your head is not stupid. As for the ability to be an official, it will naturally vary.

In the eyes of the eldest princess, Tang Cho is not someone who can be the head of a government. He can have today's official position because he has devoted himself to Fu Guogong's family.

This place of Qiyang has been the only place to go west and east since ancient times, and the business is prosperous.

Relying on this advantage, the Yan family has accumulated a lot of wealth.

The empress dowager's father also relied on his ancestral business to support the late emperor and get him the position of a relative.

A branch of Fu Guogong went to Beijing, and a large number of clansmen stayed here to continue the business.

The Yan family's request to the Qiyang government has always been "don't disturb the family to make money".

After Tang Cho took office, he cooperated well with the local Yan family.

This time, after receiving the news from the court, Tang Cho will definitely be very attentive.

The first half went smoothly, the second half...

The carriage slowed down.

Ji put down the dry food and wiped his mouth.

They have a tacit understanding with the handlebar style, and soon, the next level is waiting for them.

　Have you eaten zongzi yet?

　　I like lye rice dumpling, eat it with sugar, it’s cold and sweet, so happy~~
