Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms: Da Qiao doesn't want to be a widow anymore

Chapter 203 Qiao Hui
Okay, okay, Qiao Wei didn't bother to persuade her anymore. Anyway, after talking about it, Mother Qiao felt that everything was her fault.

Qiao Wei was not angry either. If it wasn't for the sake of saving Qiao's father's last face, who would be here to argue with Qiao's mother about all these things.

Calling two senior old ladies to serve Qiao's mother, Qiao Wei also got up and left. But as soon as he opened the door, he found Sun Quan standing outside.

Moonlight shadows, half bright and half dark.

At this moment, Qiao Wei couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and guilty when she saw Sun Quan. She coughed twice and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you knock on the door when the king came? Do you want to visit my mother?"

She knew that it was very disgraceful for Mother Qiao to cause such a scene today. She knew that although people outside didn't say anything about it, they were still talking about it in their hearts. She can accept the comments of others, after all, those people are not very related to her. But in her heart, she didn't want Sun Quan to see all this, especially since Sun Quan helped her block a lot of speculation and gossip from outsiders during the funeral. She felt that she owed him more and more, and she became more and more helpless. Pay it off.

Qiao Wei didn't even dare to look at Sun Quan anymore. If he saw Sun Quan showing pity or disgust, Qiao Wei felt that she would really be unable to hold her head up in front of him for the rest of her life.

Although she felt embarrassed in her heart, she still pretended to be calm on her face, and her body made way for Sun Quan to pass.

Sun Quan stared at her face, not wanting to let go of any details, and then whispered, "I've been here for a while. I thought you were tired these past two days, so your old servant cooked some hot soup for you. I'm in the room. I saw you hadn’t come back for a long time, so I came here to wait for you.”

That means he has been here for a long time, and he doesn’t know how much he has listened to what he just said.

Qiao Wei thought to herself, in general, she probably didn't say anything she shouldn't have said just now! At most, she said that there are too many Tinghou and Xianghou in the world, and the He family does not necessarily buy Sun Quan's face. Will this offend him...

After all, no man can tolerate being told that his abilities and status are not good enough...

She looked at Sun Quan's face and didn't see any displeasure, so that meant he didn't mean any displeasure.

Sun Quan saw her sneaking around as if she was a thief and looked down at her, "What's wrong? What did you do to make me feel sorry for you?"

"Just now I told my mother that your Marquis of Nanchang is nothing... Do you think..." This is a bit hurtful to your self-esteem...

Sun Quan chuckled, "Am I so narrow-minded that I got angry just because of these two sentences?"

"No, no. I definitely didn't think so." Qiao Wei waved his hands repeatedly.

He said no, but he thought so in his heart.

"You don't want my mother to trouble me, I know." Sun Quan didn't take this to heart at all, "It's just a false name for the Marquis of Nanchang, let alone the He family. I didn't give this to Cao Cao. Take the reward seriously."

He is not the only rural prince in the Sun family, and he will not be satisfied with just a piece of Nanchang as his food town.

Qiao Wei smiled awkwardly but politely, "Okay, okay, my vision is narrow-minded."

"But Qiao Hui should still ask the Qiao family to come. Although my mother's request is a bit too much, there is a saying that is right. In a family, whether it is a daughter who is married outside or a descendant of the clan, there has always been It means that both are prosperous and lose.

It's impossible to count on Brother Rui. The child is still young, so there may be something to look forward to. "

Qiao Wei didn't hold out hope for this either. But Sun Quan seems to be very interested in this.

The next day, when Zhou Zhong came to pay his respects, Sun Quan had a long discussion with him, and Gu Hui also came from Wu County.

On the second day after Qiao's father was buried, Zhou Zhong and Gu Hui brought Qiao Hui back to Qiao's house.

Qiao Wei was sitting with his mother Qiao and Qiao Rui having breakfast when he saw Sun Quan walking in with a boy of about three years old.

Qiao Wei has never seen Qiao Hui, so he doesn't recognize him.

But Mother Qiao and Qiao Rui immediately put down their chopsticks and ran towards Qiao Hui, "Hui'er, Hui'er, are you back?"

Qiao Hui hasn't seen Qiao Rui and Qiao Rui in about a year. Children at this age are very forgetful. Seeing Qiao Mu and Qiao Rui approaching eagerly, he hid behind the old woman who took care of him with some fear.

Mother Qiao was naturally a little unhappy when she saw that the child was so unfamiliar. Qiao Rui was still a little patient and went to get the candied fruit that the child liked. "Hui'er, I am father, this is your favorite food." Sweetmeats! Come to my father."

Qiao Hui still refused.

Qiao Rui's eyes were full of disappointment, and even the hand holding the candied fruit dropped, "This child is so alien to me."

"It's normal for children of this age to recognize each other, not to mention that he hasn't seen you for a long time. In a few days, he will get familiar with you, and it will be fine."

Qiao Wei went out to thank Zhou Zhong and Gu Hui, "The Qiao family has to worry about Duke Zhou and Master Gu making such a trip. I feel extremely grateful, and I don't know how to express my gratitude."

Qiao Rui personally invited the people in, "Mr. Zhou and Mr. Gu must not dislike the coarse tea at home. Please take a rest and allow the Qiao family to express their gratitude."

Zhou Zhong waved his hand and said, "Now that you are still in the period of filial piety, you should appease your old mother at home first. There is no rush in these little things. In the past few days, speaking of it, Xiao Qiao has not yet returned to the Zhou family in Shu County. "Since I'm here today, I also want to ask if I can take Xiao Qiao back to meet my mistress and mother-in-law."

When Zhou Yu accepted Xiao Qiao, he sent someone around him to take Xiao Qiao directly to Wancheng without passing through the Zhou family's door. All concubine etiquette was kept simple to prevent long nights and dreams.

Without meeting the mistress and mother-in-law, Xiao Qiao is not considered a serious concubine that the mistress has given too much attention to.

Naturally, Qiao Wei didn't want Xiao Qiao to go alone to meet the Zhou family's mistress, Mrs. Gu. She wanted to take Qiao Rong directly back to Wu County, and then send someone to escort her back to Wancheng.

Although the eldest Mrs. Gu is indeed in poor health and cannot take care of the household affairs, she still has a concubine named Xiao Gu by her side. The eldest Mrs. Gu is deep-minded and very harsh, while the younger Mr. Gu has a hot temper and is also difficult to deal with.

The two sisters always play nice and bad, and Xiao Qiao is simple-minded. She is no match for them, and she has been embarrassed in her previous life.

Before Qiao Wei could think of what to say, Qiao's mother responded, "What Duke Zhou said is absolutely true. Xiao Qiao has been here for a long time, so it's time for him to visit his mistress and mother-in-law, as a matter of etiquette."

Mother Qiao felt that she had just accepted someone else's kindness, so it was difficult to shirk someone else's request, not to mention it was a reasonable request.

As if seeing Qiao Wei's hesitation, Qiao Rong came out from behind, quietly held Qiao Wei's hand, and gave Qiao Wei a reassuring look.
