After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 159 Lu Xingzhi is also a man

Lin Jiudao: "My lord asked me to prepare this."

Qiao Jingjing was stunned.

Lin Jiu remembered that what he said during the break might have made her unhappy, and she would not forgive her, so she made up for it: "Although your Excellency is busy with official duties and cannot escort Madam here in person, Your Excellency attaches great importance to Madam. These gifts are all chosen by the adults themselves.”

Qiao Jingjing was silent.

Lin Jiu saw that she seemed to be relaxed, and said hurriedly: "You are also a man, and you will inevitably make some mistakes, but please don't doubt your feelings for me, madam."

When Qiao Jingjing heard this, she rolled her eyes at him angrily, "So, Guard Lin will follow your example in the future?"

Lin Jiu: "..."

"Jingjing, what's wrong with A Xing?" Father Qiao heard something was wrong and asked with concern.

"It's okay." Qiao Jingjing didn't want him to worry and didn't want to tell him the matter, so she changed the subject and said, "By the way, why didn't you see Aunt Xu?"

"Your Aunt Xu and Qingqing went to town to buy things." Father Qiao said.

Qiao Zhou immediately said, "I'll pick them up and bring them back."

Qiao Jingjing thought for a while and said, "I'll go with you."

"What are you going to do? After traveling such a long way, you should take a good rest at home." Father Qiao said hurriedly.

Qiao Jingjing originally wanted to tell him about her plan to buy them a house in the town, but she was worried that he would refuse if he knew about it, so she didn't say anything. She just said: "I also have some things to buy, and I want to go to the town. I can do it by the way." Pick up Aunt Xu and the others.”

When Father Qiao heard that she wanted to buy something, he didn't stop her anymore and just told her, "Come back soon."

"Okay." Qiao Jingjing nodded obediently.

After leaving Mallow to help clean up the house, Qiao Jingjing took Qingyuan and Lin Jiu and followed Qiao Zhou to the town.

Qiao Jingjing plans to buy a house in the town as a wedding gift for Qiao's father and Mrs. Xu.

After asking around, she actually found a suitable house.

The family moved to another place and did not come back for a long time, so they asked someone to sell the house, and the price was not high.

When she heard the price, Qiao Jingjing was very surprised, but her face remained calm. She took Qiao Zhou and others around and looked around.

Not finding anything wrong, he said to the man who showed them the house, "I'll go back and think about it first, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow."

When the man heard this, he was afraid that she would change her mind, so he said: "Madam, you can rest assured that there will be absolutely no problems with this house, and the feng shui is good. The family got rich in this house, and now they have several children." If it weren't for the business, the family wouldn't be willing to move out.

Several families have already come to inquire about this house. If Madam is interested, don't hesitate, otherwise you will miss such a good house. "

When Qiao Jingjing heard this, she became even more suspicious that there was something wrong with the house, and said, "I still have to go back and discuss it with my family."

At that moment, he didn’t talk nonsense to Yaozi anymore and left directly.

After returning to the carriage, Qiao Jingjing asked Qiao Zhou, "Brother is more familiar with the town. Do you know about that house?"

Qiao Zhou frowned, "I'm not sure about this. I'll ask my friends to help me find out later."

"Yeah." Qiao Jingjing nodded.

Next, Qiao Jingjing visited other houses, but none of them were as good as the previous one.

For a moment, she became a little confused.

Some houses may look good on the surface, but after all, others have lived in them, so I don’t know if there will be any problems.

"Don't be anxious. It's better to inquire more about buying a house." Qiao Zhou advised.

Qiao Jingjing sighed and nodded, "Yeah."

Mainly because her father and Aunt Xu were getting married in a few days, and she wanted to give them a big gift before they got married.

"Have you ever thought about building a house for your father in the village?" At this time, Qiao Zhou couldn't help but ask.

Qiao Jingjing was stunned for a moment, "I have thought about it, but the village is not as convenient as the town."

If you have a headache or fever, you have to rush to the town to get medicine and see a doctor, which is very time-consuming.

And it’s more convenient to buy everything in town.

It's impossible for her to come back to visit her two elders often, so she hopes they can live a better life.

"The town is more convenient, but Uncle Er and Aunt Xu probably prefer the village." Qiao Zhou said, "You can actually ask them what they mean about this matter."

"I thought about asking them, but I was worried that they would refuse." Qiao Jingjing said helplessly.

"But if you rashly buy the house, what if they don't like it? Wouldn't it be in vain? What's more, buying a house is not a trivial matter. I think my second uncle and the others will know better than us." Qiao Zhou said.

Qiao Jingjing felt a little shaken when she heard this, "You're right. Then you'd better ask them what they mean when we get back, and then I'll make a decision."

Qiao Zhou smiled and said, "That's right."

Looking at this handsome young man, Qiao Jingjing suddenly joked: "Brother, I remember that you and Lu Xingzhi are about the same age. Why haven't you married yet? Is there a girl you like?"

As far as she knew, her uncle's family was living a good life and they would not have no money to marry Qiao Zhou. Moreover, although Qiao Zhou had not read any books, he was very good at hunting and had some skills. Qiao Zhou's face turned red and he stammered: "I, I don't want to marry yet..."

When Qiao Jingjing saw this, she understood, patted him on the shoulder and said: "It seems that the eldest brother has very high standards. Do you think you can't look down on such an idle girl?"

Qiao Zhou denied, "I don't, I just don't want to marry..." When he said this, he couldn't help but glance at Qingyuan.

Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, but she had always been more outgoing, so she didn't care. Instead, she laughed and said, "Why doesn't Brother Qiao want to get a wife?"

Qiao Zhou scratched his head and said shyly, "I haven't met anyone suitable before."

When Qiao Jingjing saw him saying this, her face turned even redder, and she thought what he said was strange, so she smiled and asked, "I haven't met him before, but have I met him now?"

"I..." Qiao Zhou was about to speak when a joyful voice shouted, "Jingjing!"

Qiao Jingjing turned around and saw Mrs. Xu standing in front of a cloth shop. She was also surprised at the moment, "Aunt Xu!"

While she was talking, Mrs. Xu quickly came up to meet her and said with great joy: "Jingjing, it's really you!"

"Aunt Xu, long time no see." Qiao Jingjing reached out and hugged her.

Mrs. Xu was so excited that she was at a loss. "Did you just arrive? Have you returned to the village?"

"I have already met my father in the village I went back to first. I heard that you came to town and came to pick you up." Qiao Jingjing said with a smile.

Xu's eyes were red, "This girl wants to come back, and she doesn't send a letter first. I thought you wouldn't come back."

"How could I not come back to congratulate you for getting married to your father? It's such a big deal?" Qiao Jingjing said with a smile.

"It's such a long journey, it's hard for you." Mrs. Xu was very moved.

"Cousin!" At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly came from the side.

Qiao Jingjing turned around and saw a little girl about thirteen or fourteen years old standing there, looking at her curiously.

This girl is Qiao Qingqing, Qiao Zhou's sister.

"It's Qingqing, long time no see. You've grown a lot taller." Qiao Jingjing reacted and reached out to touch her head.

Seeing this, Qiao Qingqing raised a smile at the corner of her mouth and looked at her. She was wearing beautiful clothes and a delicate hairpin on her head. Her eyes shone with envy, "My cousin has become so beautiful."

Qiao Jingjing just thought she was still young and didn't care. "When I come back this time, I also brought you some clothes. I'll give them to you when I get back soon."

"Thank you, cousin." Qiao Qingqing said happily.

"Okay, I've almost finished shopping, let's go back first." Mrs. Xu held Qiao Jingjing's hand tightly. She couldn't wait to get back home and talk to her for a while.

"Okay." Qiao Jingjing nodded.

A group of people got on the carriage.

When she got to the carriage, Qiao Qingqing looked at the spacious and comfortable carriage and was filled with envy. She touched it here and touched it there, "Not even the biggest wealthy family in town has such a beautiful and spacious carriage."

Mrs. Xu didn't care about this. As soon as she got on the carriage, her attention was entirely on Qiao Jingjing. She pulled her and asked about her current situation.

"Are you used to going to the capital? Are the Lu family nice to you?"

"I'm used to it, and they treat me very well." Qiao Jingjing answered one by one with a smile.

"That's good." Mrs. Xu felt relieved.

Qiao Qingqing couldn't help but interjected, "Aunt Xu just likes to worry. My cousin has become an official's wife. What's wrong with that?"

Mrs. Xu pinched her face and said, "You little girl, what do you know?"

Qiao Qingqing turned her eyes to Qiao Jingjing, with a look of envy on her face, "If I could wear gold and silver like my cousin, I would do anything you ask me to do."

Mrs. Xu just thought she was still young and didn't say anything, but Qiao Jingjing looked at her childish little face and was afraid that she would go astray, so she couldn't help but remind her, "It's good to wear gold and silver, but It should be noted that a gentleman loves money and gets it in a wise way, and he cannot do bad things. "

Hearing this, Qiao Qingqing curled her lips and said, "My cousin said this. She lectured me as soon as we met. I think you have become a noble lady, and your style has come out."

Qiao Jingjing felt uncomfortable, but before she could say anything, Qiao Zhou had already scolded her, "You stinky girl, what are you talking about? Isn't your sister Jingjing doing it for your own good? If you were an outsider, she wouldn't be too lazy. teach you."

Qiao Qingqing made a face at her, "Big brother will look at sister Jingjing as if she is your biological sister."

At this time, Qiao Zhou was angry, "You are really spoiled by your mother, why do you talk like this?"

Qiao Qingqing just closed her mouth.

"Jingjing, don't give her the clothes you brought back from the capital. I think she is just a white-eyed wolf." Qiao Zhou turned to Qiao Jingjing and said.

Qiao Jingjing was indeed uncomfortable with what she said to Qiao Qingqing, but when she saw that he was so angry, her discomfort dissipated, and instead she persuaded him, "Brother, forget it, Qingqing is still young."

"Yes, Ah Zhou, Qingqing is just a little girl, don't be as knowledgeable as her." Ms. Xu also persuaded her.

Despite this, Qiao Zhou turned around unhappily, not wanting to see Qiao Qingqing again.

When Qiao Qingqing saw this, she was very angry.

But looking at Qiao Jingjing, her attitude changed.

She sat close to Qiao Jingjing, "Sister, I was just joking, don't take it seriously."
