Qiao Rui supported Mother Qiao and waited at the door for a long time. She saw Sun Quan and Qiao Wei getting off the carriage and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them. Qiao Rui naturally wanted to salute, but Mother Qiao was an elder, and Sun Quan could not really accept her courtesy. He quickly supported me and said, "I am here to visit my father today, so my mother should not stick to these etiquettes."

Mother Qiao's eyes burst into tears when she saw Qiao Wei, and she reached out to hold Qiao Wei's hand, but Qiao Wei turned slightly and put her hand on Sun Quan's arm, avoiding Mother Qiao.

Mother Qiao's hand in mid-air was a little embarrassed, but she still concealed it very well. She took her hand back quietly and chatted about home affairs in a friendly tone, "Da Qiao looks a lot better today. Why didn't you bring Deng'er here? It's been a long time since I last saw you and I miss you so much."

Qiao Wei said calmly, "Deng'er didn't sleep well last night, so he stayed at home and let Yaoniang take care of him and take a nap."

It's just that at this hour, it's time for dinner, and it's still nap time.

"Oh oh oh." Mother Qiao also heard Qiao Wei's coldness, but seeing that Sun Quan was still there, she could only smile and found a step for herself and said, "That's okay, your father is still sick. , it is not easy to give the child the sick energy. The child is still young, so don’t toss it back and forth.

It's just that your father is always talking about you and Deng'er. Speaking of which, Deng'er is several months old and your father hasn't met him yet! "

These words also secretly accused Qiao Wei of being unfilial. He knew that his father was sick, but he never came to visit him.

Qiao Wei also understood. When she thought about Father Qiao's poor health, she was naturally concerned, but every time she thought about Mother Qiao's plans, and the doctor's reply, she said that Father Qiao was mostly mentally ill and wanted to escape. Qiao Rong sent more medicinal materials.

"Children are naughty. They don't know what's serious. It's better not to burden my father. When my father gets better, I will bring him to my father to see him." Qiao Wei did not comment or do anything practical. Promise.

Seeing that the situation was a little awkward, Qiao Rui quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, "The kings and princes have been here for a while. Mom, you are only happy to see Da Qiao. I'm afraid you forgot that it's still cold. Naturally, the whole family has to enter the house before talking. .”

Naturally, Mother Qiao was dissatisfied with Qiao Wei's perfunctory talk, but Qiao Rui had already opened her mouth to smooth things over. Mother Qiao also felt that she was a little careless in standing at the door, "I'm getting older, and it's been easier to forget things lately. See When Da Qiao came back, he was so happy that he forgot everything, and asked the prince not to be offended."

Sun Quan said "Huh", "A loving mother's heart should be like this."

Qiao Rui walked in front to lead the way, "Your Majesty, you have worked hard all day and night, and you have never set foot in this house after it was renovated. If you don't want Ruorui to lead the way, please come and take a leisurely walk for a while."

It was common sense for Qiao Rui to entertain Sun Quan and for Qiao's mother to accompany Qiao Wei to talk to Qiao's father.

Sun Quan refused, "I heard that my father-in-law was not feeling well, and I was worried about him. I also wanted to accompany my wife to visit today. I don't want to take a walk in the garden for a while."

"Yes, yes." Qiao Rui quickly agreed, "What the Lord said is true."

Mother Qiao originally wanted Qiao Wei to meet Qiao Fu alone, but she didn't expect that Sun Quan would accompany Qiao Wei to the meeting, so she had to wink at Qiao Rui secretly.

But Qiao Rui naturally disobeyed Sun Quan in front of him and could only turn a blind eye to Qiao's mother's eyes.

Qiao Wei didn't bother to pay attention to the quarrel between mother and son.

Pushing open the door, a strong medicinal smell hit the face, mixed with a faint smell of decay. The dim light made it difficult to see what was inside, adding to the feeling of sadness and coolness.

Qiao Wei's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a little more uneasy. When Dr. Mao came to report, he didn't say that the situation was that serious. When Qiao Rong mentioned her father, she didn't say that the situation was that serious either. Serious!
Sun Quan led Qiao Wei in, "Father-in-law, I brought Wei'er to see you." Qiao Wei gently opened the curtains, revealing Father Qiao's haggard face. He slowly opened his eyes, his cloudy eyes filled with A ray of clarity comes out.

"Da Qiao?" Qiao's father stared at Qiao Wei for a long time before he recognized the person, "Are you here?"

Father Qiao stretched out his hand from the quilt and held Qiao Wei tightly, "Good boy, why do you seem to have lost a lot of weight? Is it too hard to take care of Deng'er?"

Taking care of young children is always hard work, not to mention that Sun Deng is Qiao Wei's first child, so he is naturally more concerned about it. Even with Xu Yaoniang and others taking care of him, Qiao Wei will inevitably have to intervene in everything and make plans. .

"I'm fine, but my father, why have I lost so much weight? Rong'er always said that my father is fine. If I hadn't come to see him today, I would have thought that my father was fine!"

Mother Qiao had said that Father Qiao was not in good health, but Qiao Wei had a grudge against Mother Qiao, so naturally he didn't believe what Mother Qiao said.

"I asked Rong'er not to tell you, so don't blame her." Father Qiao seemed to have remembered something and said to Mother Qiao, "The Lord is here, and you don't know how to serve tea to your son-in-law. Go quickly." , find out the tea brought from Wan County and ask Mr. Lang to taste it."

Qiao's mother wanted to ask the maid beside her to get it, but Qiao's father said, "You go and make tea yourself. This is the principle of a family. My husband is not a guest."

You should treat it with care.

Mother Qiao had no choice but to make tea herself.

Qiao's father asked Qiao Rui to get the cakes again, and separated the mother and son.

His old eyes were a little blurry and he couldn't see clearly. He could only use his hands to fumble around. After searching for a while, he found a box from under the quilt and handed it to Qiao Wei.

Qiao Wei didn't know what it was, so Father Qiao urged, "Open it, open it and take a look."

Qiao Wei then opened it and found half a gold hairpin and two collars lying quietly inside.

When he saw this half of the golden hairpin, Qiao Wei's heart moved slightly, and what followed was the past about this half of the golden hairpin.

It was the first time when Da Qiao was young, that his mother took him to attend the haircut ceremony of a cousin of the Qiao family. The girl Pingting, with her slender waist, was surrounded by the ladies of the clan and dressed up. Finally, she was My aunt's mother-in-law has a gorgeous gold hairpin on her hairpin, and her black hair is tied into a bun.

Da Qiao stared at the golden hairpin for a long time and couldn't come back to her senses. It was a piece of jewelry she had never owned before. It was so exquisite and gorgeous that she didn't even hear the other cousins ​​and women from other aristocratic families around her saying anything about her. A mocking laugh.

Naturally, Mother Qiao felt embarrassed. After she went home and told Father Qiao about the incident, Father Qiao was silent for a long time.

The family has several acres of thin farmland, and they have enough food and clothing, but they are definitely not rich. Father Qiao asked about it and found out that the He family spent nearly a hundred gold to make that gorgeous gold hairpin. The gold hairpin is used for engagement.

Da Qiao has always been sensible and understands that she will never be able to own such luxurious things. But Qiao's father felt sorry for his daughter, so on the day he received his salary, he asked someone to make a gold hairpin, and each of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao had half of one, just to comfort his daughter.
