Big Joe, Little Joe loves me

Chapter 175

There was clearly a round of bright sun in the sky, but a light drizzle suddenly fell.

In the palace of Prince Ming, birds and insects are singing, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing.

I saw Da Qiao covering her head with her sleeves, braved the light rain, and hurried into a small courtyard.

Behind him, there were two servant girls closely following her, and one of them held an umbrella high above Da Qiao's head.

The other maid is Liu Gan's personal maid, Xiaohuan.

Xiaohuan was ordered by Liu Gan to take good care of Da Qiao day and night, Xiaohuan listened to Liu Gan very much, Xiaohuan followed wherever Da Qiao went.

It can be said to be meticulous, like a shadow.

"Queen, please walk slowly, and be careful of wrestling."

Xiaohuan supported Da Qiao beside him, and seeing Da Qiao walking in such a hurry, she also became anxious in her heart.

The difference is that Xiaohuan is worried about the child in Da Qiao's stomach, but Da Qiao is worried about the child in someone else's stomach.

That's right, another person in Prince Ming's residence is pregnant, and that person is Feng Fangnv.

In such a hurry, Da Qiao rushed to Feng Fangnv's residence as soon as she heard the news.

When Da Qiao came to Feng Fangnv's small courtyard, the owner of the courtyard had already taken the initiative to go out to greet her.

"Why is my sister here?"

Feng Fang's daughter greeted her pretty and lively, and the two women shook hands and asked for warmth.

After the two entered the room, Da Qiao said with a smile: "I heard that my sister is happy, so I specially ordered someone to make a pot of ginseng chicken soup to nourish my sister."

Feng Fangnv rubbed her belly and said, "My sister has a heart, my sister thanks you." Then she wanted to bow down.

Da Qiao hurriedly helped her up, and said earnestly, "Your sister is gone, isn't it? As the old saying goes, a family doesn't talk about two families, and my younger sister should concentrate on raising her body. Your Majesty will be happy when she comes back."

Feng Fangnv nodded and said: "What my sister said is that my sister should also pay attention to her body. Look at your round belly. You must be a big fat boy when you are born."

"Your Majesty, he likes both boys and girls." Da Qiao smiled sweetly, "But I still want a boy. How about you, sister, do you want a boy or a girl?"

"I want a boy too, I even have a name in mind." Feng Fangnv was full of longing.

"Really, what name does my sister want to name the child?" Da Qiao asked.

"Uh, I'm afraid that the king will not agree..." Feng Fangnv said worriedly.

"You don't understand him now. He is different from ordinary men in this respect. He is not so particular." Da Qiao smiled and said solemnly: "If he really disagrees, I will talk to him. Let him agree."

"So, my sister would like to thank my sister in advance."

"My sister is still so polite. Didn't I say it, the whole family..."

"If you don't talk about the two families, my sister will save it."

……

The two girls chatted for a long time. Before leaving, Da Qiao urged Feng Fangnv to remember to drink the chicken soup.

Feng Fangnv repeatedly nodded in agreement, and then sent Da Qiao all the way out of the courtyard.

After Da Qiao left, Feng Fangnv returned to the house, without even looking at the chicken soup, she casually ordered, "Xiao Hong, go pour it out."

Xiaohong was slightly taken aback, and said: "Ma'am, I heard right, such a good chicken soup, throw it away?"

Feng Fangnv nodded slightly.

Xiaohong was surprised and said: "Is it really going to be thrown away? This is carefully prepared by the queen for you! Such a good chicken soup, what a pity to throw it away..."

"If I say throw it away, I'll throw it away. How can you talk so much nonsense." Feng Fangnv glared at Xiaohong angrily, and said coldly, "If you feel it's a pity, I've rewarded you. Take it and drink it."

Xiaohong was overjoyed: "Really, can I drink?"

Feng Fangnv said lightly: "Drink, but don't blame me for anything wrong with drinking."

"Ah?" Xiaohong's face changed, and she asked, "No way, it was delivered by the queen herself, so why did she get sick from drinking it?"

"That's not sure." Feng Fangnv gently stroked her belly, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

"Could it be that the Queen wants to..." Xiaohong suddenly remembered something, and swallowed the words back as she spoke. It wasn't that she didn't want to say the following words, but that she didn't dare to say them.

"What are you thinking, don't you want to drink chicken soup, take it down and drink it." Feng Fangnv said coldly.

"The maid doesn't dare, the maid will just throw it away." Xiaohong was panicked.

"Go, be careful when you pour it, and don't let others see it."

"Save it, maidservant, don't worry, madam."

……

At night, the Qiaoyuan mansion was brightly lit and very lively.

There are many guests entering and leaving the bridge manor today, among which the grandest official is Grand Tutor Zhang Zhao, and the youngest is also a Chengmen school lieutenant.

Among the famous and powerful officials in Lujiang County, Qiao Yuan invited at least half of them.

It's not because today is a big day, but because every once in a while, Qiao Yuan will throw a big banquet for the guests.

Qiaoyuan has money, and he can burn it at will. Before Liu Gan rose, Qiaoyuan was one of the best merchants. Now Liu Gan has established a large territory, and with the good sales of "Wu Shuang Wine" in various places, it can be said that the entire Yangzhou There is no one richer than Qiao Yuan.

Today, Qiao Yuan is considered a wealthy man in the world.

If you have money, you can’t have nowhere to spend it, right?
Therefore, every once in a while, Qiao Yuan would hold a big banquet in the mansion, inviting some famous scholars, officials and generals.

Qiao Yuan is the father-in-law of Ming Wang Liu Gan, almost no one in Yangzhou dare not give him three points of face, because if you don't give him face, you don't give Liu Gan face, how can anyone in Yangzhou dare to have trouble with Liu Gan?

There was a man named Yuan Shu who wanted to fight against Liu Gan, but looking at the predicament of soldiers approaching Shouchun now, even Yuan Shu, who has four generations and three generations, would regret not falling.

Therefore, as long as it is an invitation letter from Qiao Yuan, no one dares to refuse it easily.

"Zibu, Jingxing, you must drink a few more glasses today, come here after a long time, everyone will not return if they are not drunk!"

Qiao Yuan raised his wine glass high, toasted Zhang Zhao and Wang Lang at the same table, and said with a smile.

Wang Lang was originally the prefect of Kuaiji County. Since Kuaiji County was defeated by Liu Gan, Wang Lang had already stepped down and refused to be an official. It was not until Liu Xie came to Lujiang that Wang Lang came out again.

Wang Lang is the apprentice of the former Taiwei Yang Ci. He is well versed in classics, learned five chariots, and has a high reputation.

It's not that Liu Gan values ​​Wang Lang, but that Liu Gan needs someone like Wang Lang. The more celebrities and talents Liu Gan has from the big families under Liu Gan's command, the more stable Liu Gan's great cause will be.

It is easy to conquer the country and difficult to defend the country. This is not completely unreasonable.

"Drinking wine for so many years, only the wine at Duke Qiao's mansion can make me unforgettable for a long time. When I have nothing to do, I always want to drink some wine at Duke Qiao's mansion, but Mr. Qiao put medicine in this wine? Otherwise, how could it make people so greedy!"

Wang Lang raised his wine glass with a smile, put his arm around Qiao Yuan's shoulder and said.

Qiao Yuan smiled and said: "If it is true that the medicine was prescribed, it was also given by King Ming. This wine was brewed by him himself. Jing Xing should go to King Ming Xingshi to question his guilt, not me."

"There is such a thing!" Wang Lang looked surprised, and sighed: "Unexpectedly, King Ming not only has great martial arts skills, but also brews good wine. Mr. Qiao really found a good son-in-law, lucky, really lucky!"

Qiao Yuan and Wang Lang haven't known each other for a long time, but Wang Lang can speak, at least he likes Qiao Yuan's taste very much, and the relationship between the two has gradually increased.

Later, Wang Lang intended to marry Qiao Yuan. Wang Lang originally had two sons and a daughter. The eldest son died young, and the youngest son was young.

Wang Lang intends to marry this girl to Liu Gan to make him younger, and repeatedly tested Qiao Yuan's tone and attitude.

Qiao Yuan didn't make a statement, just smiled and changed the subject every time, pushing and shoving. After repeated times, Wang Lang also noticed something, and never mentioned the matter of marrying a daughter again.

Today, Qiao Yuan suddenly changed his normal routine, not only took the initiative to ask about Wang Lang's daughter, but also revealed a little matchmaking intention in his words and deeds.

This made Wang Lang very puzzled, and at the same time couldn't help but be overjoyed, and began to eagerly sell his daughter.
