While the two were chatting and laughing, they arrived at Tingyu Pavilion.

The originally lonely Tingyu Pavilion was immediately filled with vitality due to their arrival, and even Mr. Fang seemed to be several years younger in an instant.

"Ayi, Ayue, you are here." Mr. Fang smiled from ear to ear as he watched the beautiful couple coming hand in hand.

After saluting Mr. Fang, the two of them sat down around a small round table with him. The maids hurriedly served hot tea to the masters.

Mr. Fang looked at Nangong Yue and said hesitantly: "I heard that your aunt came today?"

Nangong Yue nodded, and after talking to Xiao Yi for a long time, she almost forgot about the unknown Mrs. Qiao. At this time, when Mrs. Fang asked, she casually told the story. When she talked about the four beautiful maids, she didn't forget to wink at Xiao Yi, and then she couldn't help but laugh.

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the words, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, but when his eyes met with Nangong Yue's, they were immediately replaced by deep warmth.

After spending these days with Nangong Yue, Mr. Fang can also see that this is not a submissive girl who will only let others push around, and A Yi is not his father. Seeing their tacit understanding at this time, I was finally relieved, but this Mrs. Qiao...

When thinking of her, Mr. Fang could not help but feel disgust on his face, and said: "Your aunt is exactly the same as before. She was probably used to making the decisions in the Xiao family before she got married. After she got married, she still liked to be in the Xiao family. Make the decision. In the past, when your father was still the heir, he always liked to send people to your father whenever he had nothing to do. Those who were outstanding in appearance, good at singing and dancing, gentle and carefree..." When he said these words, Mr. Fang He couldn't help but grit his teeth, then paused, and then said, "I don't know where we got so many maids."

This is the first time that Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue have heard him mention the past. In this world, it is not a big deal for a young master from a distinguished family to have a concubine, but to make Old Mrs. Fang so angry, it is obvious that Mrs. Qiao gave her a gift There are more than just one or two.

"I have been your mother's daughter all my life. I have been obedient to her since I was a child, and my temperament is a bit spoiled." Mr. Fang sighed and said, "When Mrs. Qiao was first imprisoned, she had a big quarrel with your father. After a while, your father didn't care. Mrs. Qiao gave it to him and he took it away. The two of them started arguing and gradually became estranged. Later, your mother stopped making trouble and just secretly Crying alone in the room..." At this point, Mr. Fang's voice couldn't help but choked up, and he said earnestly, "Ayi, don't imitate your father in the future, and don't make Ayue sad!"

Old Mrs. Fang has nothing else to seek in this life. He only hopes to see his grandson and his wife live in harmony and beauty, and to give him several great-grandchildren. Then he can indulge in his grandsons, and then he, an old cripple, can rest in peace. ! When you go underground, you won't have to face your old wife and your daughter who died young.

"Grandpa." Xiao Yi looked at Mr. Fang and said seriously: "I am me, not my father!"

He doesn't have anything to swear by the other party's old man. His feelings for his stinky girl don't need to be sworn to God or expressed to others. As long as the stinky girl understands his feelings, that's enough!

"Yes, grandpa." Nangong Yue said hurriedly, "Don't worry, your grandson's wife will not suffer the consequences."

Xiao Yi nodded matter-of-factly, looked at her with a smile and said, "Of course my Ayue is the smartest and most capable!" His eyes were so soft that they seemed to melt into water, and those focused eyes were bright. It shines brightly, as if all the stars in the sky are reflected in it.

For a moment, Mr. Fang felt a little dazzled.

I just feel that these little children are like the sun and the moon, as if the sun and the moon are in the sky, reflecting each other, releasing a dazzling light that is almost impossible to look at.

Mrs. Fang couldn't help but smile with relief, "You two are both good boys."

In this life, God has not been too kind to him.

Nangong Yue's face turned red when Xiao Yi looked at her. She quietly pulled Xiao Yi's sleeves under the table. Xiao Yi then came back to his senses and remembered that there was another serious matter to discuss with Mr. Fang today. .

Nangong Yue thought she was doing it covertly, but her little move couldn't be hidden from Old Man Fang. The smile on the corner of his mouth became thicker and thicker. As long as they are fine, everything is fine.

Xiao Yi coughed dryly, cleared his throat, and said seriously: "Grandpa, my grandson still wants to discuss business with you today."

Mr. Fang's interest was piqued, he raised his eyebrows, touched his chin and joked: "Ayi, in business, my grandfather does not do loss-making business."

Xiao Yi said with a smile: "Why would my grandson let his grandfather do a loss-making business?" He paused and said with a playful smile, "At most, I will make less money, but this matter will be of great benefit to the entire southern Xinjiang. Something!"

Seeing his grandson's serious expression while joking, Mr. Fang also had a faint feeling that this matter might not be simple.

Xiao Yi didn't intend to hide it from his grandfather, so he carefully took out the piece of tissue paper.

When Old Mrs. Fang saw it, his pupils shrank in shock, and then he snatched it away. He stared at it for a long time, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "This...is this a repeating crossbow?" And it can still fire continuously. Touya's repeating crossbow! If their Southern Xinjiang army could all be equipped with this repeating crossbow, wouldn't they be invincible!

Mr. Fang looked at the design drawing with an almost admiring look, stroking the edge of the silk paper with slightly trembling fingers.

Although he has never joined the army or been on the battlefield, three hundred years since the Fang family moved to southern Xinjiang, southern Xinjiang has never been truly peaceful. There were raids from time to time, and there was a battle every few years... until The arrival of the old King of Zhennan has brought twenty years of peace to the people of Southern Xinjiang. This was something that the people here had never dared to think of. Because of this, over the years, the Palace of Zhennan has always had a special place in the hearts of the people of Southern Xinjiang. It has a special meaning, especially since Old Zhennan King is like a god.

The year before last, when the Southern Barbarians attacked, he was still "sick" and didn't know how the war was going.

But after waking up and hearing that it was Xiao Yi who led his troops to drive away the Southern Barbarians, he asked people carefully about what happened. Everyone in Southern Xinjiang knew about this, so Mr. Fang asked about it. After understanding the cause and effect, he also knew that his grandson's transformation from a dandy to the honor he had now was all at the risk of his life, which made him feel heartbroken.

Southern Xinjiang also suffered heavy losses after this battle. Mr. Fang also heard that Baiyue had issued a declaration of war to Southern Xinjiang not long ago, so he asked the emperor to release Xiao Yi.

Now, if the entire army can be equipped with this repeating crossbow, how dare the Nanman do it again!

Thinking about it, Mr. Fang couldn't help but get excited, and slapped the table boldly: "Ayi, my grandfather will give you as much iron as you want!" This is a major event involving the safety of southern Xinjiang, and it cannot be compared with a small profit. !

A touch of emotion flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes, but he said with a smile on his face: "Grandpa, my grandson said, no matter what, I can't let you do a loss-making business, right?" As he said that, his expression became serious. stand up.

Military supplies and armaments have always cost a lot of money. The Fang family’s property does not just belong to the eldest family. If I get some convenience from it, the other families in the Fang family will be speechless. In the final analysis, this matter is It is beneficial to the entire southern Xinjiang. But if you don't know how to give and just take, wouldn't you become a blood leech?

Some things don’t need to be said out loud for the other person to understand.

Mr. Fang looked at Xiao Yi deeply, his heart was filled with excitement, he was very proud of his grandson!

Xiao Yi said boldly: "If nothing else, your grandson still has some money!" After saying that, he looked at Nangong Yue and blinked, as if asking: How much money does our family have now?

Nangong Yue pursed her lips and smiled.

They just got engaged, and Xiao Yi gave her all his belongings. Over the years, he really didn't care about anything.

However, although the old prince left a lot of property to Xiao Yi, all they got were the account books and no deed. According to Zhou Dacheng, the old prince gave the account books to the manager of Shen Da. , and the contract is in the hands of Tuogu's clan elder. Now that I have returned to southern Xinjiang, I should find an opportunity to get these things back.

As for now, with the cash on hand, Nangong Yue estimates that it should not be a problem to deliver the first batch of repeating crossbows.

After roughly counting, Nangong Yue said with a smile: "Grandpa, don't worry, your grandson can get the money."

With a smile in his eyes, Mr. Fang pretended to be thoughtful and said: "Then your grandfather, I will make a lion open his mouth."

The two of them shouted to please each other: "Grandpa..."

Listen to the laughter and laughter in the Yu Pavilion.

After a stick of incense, the grandfather and grandson finally finished talking about business. Nangong Yue signaled to Baihui, who had been waiting aside for a while, that the meal could be served.

Following everyone to the main room for dinner, Xiao Yi was a little late and didn't know what he said to Zhuzi. After Zhuzi responded, he hurried out.

The two of them had a lively dinner with Mr. Fang, coaxing the old man to eat half a bowl of more rice, and then pushed Mr. Fang's wheelchair half a circle in the courtyard before being chased away by him. go back.

At this time, Zhuzi came over to report that everything was done.

Xiao Yi smiled brightly, and with a change in his eyes, Nangong Yue saw some clues and waved her hand, meaning, go ahead.

If he hadn't been outside now, Xiao Yi would have almost pounced on him. The one who really knows others is the stinky girl!

The reason why it was "almost" was because Nangong Yue obviously saw Xiao Yi's thoughts and hurriedly took Baihui back.

Xiao Yi watched Nangong Yue's back with regret, and then went out alone, without even taking the bamboo with him.

When he rode his horse outside of Tayun Restaurant, several young men were already waiting for him at the door of the restaurant, craning their necks.

"Brother, you are finally here!" Yu Xiufan, who was dressed in blue robes, couldn't wait to drive forward. Several other young gentlemen also gathered around, greeting Xiao Yi one after another, showing their merits diligently, showing that they were all After receiving the summons, I immediately put down everything I was doing and came...

At this time, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and most of the people who were still outside were out drinking and having fun.

Seeing the looks of these young gentlemen wearing bright clothes and angry horses, one knew that they were from extraordinary backgrounds. Passers-by and drinkers did not dare to offend them and kept away from them.

Immediately a young man asked jokingly: "Brother, where are we going to play today?"

Xiao Yi waved his riding whip high in high spirits, pointed in front, and said loudly: "I'm almost suffocated these days. Let's take a walk around first and see who gets to the North City Gate first."

This group of dandy young men often do things like running around and race horses. Xiao Yi shouted, which immediately attracted the response of Yu Xiufan and others, and they jumped on the horse one by one.

One of the red horses took the lead and galloped out without saying hello, which aroused the dissatisfaction of several young masters behind: "Arche, how dare you sneak away!"

"Tap tap tap——"

Horse hooves were flying, and a group of gentlemen rode away one after another, passing through the streets. There were fewer and fewer people on the road, and the horses ran faster and faster. You chased me, and no one was willing to fall behind... …

Unexpectedly, before the North City Gate arrived, Xiao Yi suddenly reined in the horse's rope, slowed down the dark clouds and snow under his crotch, and finally stopped at the entrance of an alley.

The horses riding beside and behind him couldn't help but also stopped. Yu Xiufan asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Brother, how...eh? Brother, isn't that Vice Admiral Qiao?"

Hearing this title, the young masters all followed Yu Xiufan's line of sight and saw in the alley on the right, a middle-aged man wearing a cloud-patterned brocade robe and a short beard walking out of the alleyway. When he walked out of the red door and was about to turn right, he saw Xiao Yi and others at the intersection, and his face suddenly became stiff.

The young masters looked at each other half-smilingly, and then looked at Xiao Yi in unison.

The full name of Lieutenant General Qiao is Qiao Xingyao, and he is Xiao Yi's direct uncle. He can be regarded as a "relative of the emperor" in southern Xinjiang.

As the brother-in-law of the King of Zhennan, Qiao Xingyao naturally has many advantages over others. Unfortunately, he has a low background and mediocre abilities. Now in his forties, he is just a deputy general.

Qiao Xingyao's luck was indeed good. When the Xiao family was still in decline, he met Mrs. Qiao, a divorcee. He won her favor and the two got married.

No one expected that in just a few years, the Xiao family would rise rapidly, and eventually he would become the son-in-law of the Zhennan Palace, and from then on, the Qiao family would also ascend to heaven.

Marrying Mrs. Qiao was probably the smartest decision Qiao Xingyao had ever made in his life.

Qiao Xingyao feels proud every time he thinks about it.

But at this moment, Qiao Xingyao couldn't laugh anymore, and secretly thought that he was unlucky, how could he meet this demon king! But you can't pretend you didn't see it. Qiao Xingyao straightened his robe, stepped forward as if nothing had happened, and greeted Xiao Yi affectionately: "Ayi, isn't this Ayi? What a coincidence."

"It turns out to be uncle." Xiao Yi played with the riding crop in his hand boredly.

The young men exchanged glances with meaningful smiles.

This lane is called Goldfish Lane, and Luoyue City is also a famous place. It is the second residence of many powerful people.

To put it bluntly, it is the place where men keep their wives.

Yu Xiufan and others have also heard about Qiao Xingyao's usual behavior.

Qiao Xingyao works as an errand here in Luoyue City, so he lives in the house in Luoyue City most of the time, while Mrs. Qiao serves her parents-in-law and educates her children in Li County. How could Qiao Xingyao endure the loneliness when his husband and wife lived in two places? There had been all kinds of romances over the years, but they were all just a sideshow. Until two years ago, he redeemed a landlord from Baihua Building and bought a two-income house. settled down in the small house.

This matter is actually not a big secret in Luoyue City, it is just a romantic affair.

However, it was only today that Yu Xiufan and the others found out that Qiao Xingyao had also installed his outer house in Jinyu Lane.

Yu Xiufan rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Vice Admiral Qiao has a confidante. Could it be that he lives here?"

The other young masters also showed knowing smiles.

Qiao Xingyao suddenly became a little nervous, feeling that Yu Xiufan and the others were really not picking up the right pot. He looked at Xiao Yi nervously, but saw that there was no anger on the other person's face. He looked at Yu Xiufan suspiciously and asked, "My confidante? What's going on?"

As soon as the eldest brother asked, Yu Xiufan immediately told Qiao Xingyao's romantic affairs with excellent singing and lyrics, and then Mr. Huang said teasingly: "Vice General Qiao, you don't dare to bring this confidante back to your house. Here, could it be that he is henpecked?"

As he said that, Second Young Master Huang exchanged glances with the other young masters and burst into laughter. Qiao Xingyao's face turned pale and blue with laughter, but he was worried about Xiao Yi and hesitated to speak.

Xiao Yi looked at Qiao Xingyao with a smile, the smile did not extend to his eyes, and said lazily: "Uncle, you are wrong. As far as my nephew knows, my aunt has always been virtuous and is not someone who cannot tolerate others. Uncle Wouldn't such behavior cause uninformed people to misunderstand my aunt?" Xiao Yi glanced at the house where Qiao Xingyao came out, sighed and shook his head.

Qiao Xingyao looked at Xiao Yi awkwardly and laughed a few times.

Xiao Yi said kindly: "Uncle, today we will bear witness to you. You'd better take that confidante back to the house. Only the truth will last long."

"That's right!" Yu Xiufan immediately agreed, then raised his eyebrows suspiciously, "Or is Vice General Qiao really henpecked?"

"No way?" Mr. Liu Wu touched his chin and said, "I see that Vice Admiral Qiao's eyebrows are raised and the bridge of his nose is straight. Doesn't he look like a henpecked person?!"

"Knowing a person's face but not their heart, how can such a face count." A young man on a red horse interjected.

Second Young Master Huang couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead and said, "Arche, you really should go back and read more. Is this how 'knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing people' is used?"

Xu Che shrugged nonchalantly, then looked down at Qiao Xingyao and asked, "Vice Admiral Qiao, are you henpecked?" He sighed and looked at Qiao Xingyao with pity, "If Vice Admiral Qiao is really that... ...Hep-pecked, let’s just pretend we didn’t see what happened today... Lieutenant General Qiao, don’t worry, no one will know about the safekeeping.”

How can Qiao Xingyao rest assured? In Luoyue City, apart from the three aunts and six women, the most talkative ones are these young masters who have nothing to do all day long. I am afraid that if he agrees to this matter today, tomorrow the whole Luoyue City will know that he is guilty. Qiao Xingyao is afraid. , how will he face his colleagues in the army in the future? How can he come out and interact with people!

"I...of course I'm not henpecked!" Qiao Xingyao puffed up his chest in an outwardly strong manner, but now, he couldn't admit it anymore.

He simply got worried and thought: Xiang'er has been following him for more than two years, and she has a deep love for him. He also promised to give her a status. At worst, he will take this opportunity to take her back. Anyway, Xiao Yi also said that he would be a witness for him... Well, isn't this just to coax him?

Qiao Xingyao glanced at Xiao Yi, who was smiling openly, and said tentatively: "Ayi, you are right. Your aunt has always been generous, but I got it wrong." Seeing that there was no displeasure on Xiao Yi's face, He breathed a sigh of relief.

He was not afraid of Mrs. Xiao, but that he would offend Zhennan Prince's Mansion. But now, Xiao Yi is not unhappy, and he has passed the royal palace. In this way, his Xiang'er may really be justified!

Qiao Xingyao looked at Xiao Yi expectantly, "Ayi, your aunt hasn't seen you for a long time. She must miss you very much. But why don't you come back to your hometown with me and meet your aunt?"

Xiao Yi readily agreed, "That's fine." After saying that, he glanced at the others and said, "You will accompany me to visit my aunt first, and later we will go to Zuixianju for a drink."

This group of young masters usually like to join in the fun. Luo Yuecheng has been really boring recently. The situation in front of him seems to be something to watch. The eldest brother spoke again, and naturally they all agreed, coaxing and saying that they wanted to eat Qiao Xingyao. Concubine feast.

Qiao Xingyao agreed wholeheartedly. Thinking of being able to bring Xiang'er back home in a fair and honest manner, the smile on his face became a bit real, and he said, "Ayi, then you guys wait here for a moment..." Qiao Xingyao faced Xiao Yi and waited. He bowed his hands and went back to the house, feeling happy in his heart: Xiang'er will be very happy when he knows that he can take her back!

Xiao Yi looked at Qiao Xingyao's back on the horse with a cold gaze.

After he returned to southern Xinjiang, he conducted a brief investigation of all the generals in the army. Naturally, Qiao Xingyao's romantic affairs came to his ears. Originally, this was a matter of the Qiao family, and Xiao Yi had no intention of doing so. Intervene. However, his aunt really likes to meddle in other people's business, first his mother, and then his stinky girl... Since she is so virtuous, she is really unfilial if she doesn't help herself.

While several young men were chatting and laughing, a green-covered carriage drove out of the wealthy house, so fast that all the young men exchanged funny glances. Obviously, the "confidante" couldn't wait to find a way out!

A group of people rode off again, and the carriage and horses surrounding Qiao Xingyao arrived at Qiao's house unimpeded.

When the concierge saw the prince Xiao Yi and all the young masters coming to the door, he hurriedly opened the door to welcome him... When he saw a charming young lady walking out of the green-covered carriage, he was already confused. He didn't know what day he was in. What's wrong with singing?

When Mrs. Qiao heard that Qiao Xingyao had brought back a vixen, she hurriedly led her confidant, Mother Hu, out of the second door angrily. She was about to have a fit when she saw Qiao Xingyao, but when her eyes fell on Xiao Yi and the young men, her face froze.

Xiao Yi smiled and bowed to Mrs. Qiao: "My nephew has met my aunt. It is a coincidence that my aunt came to Luoyue City this time, just in time to receive a cup of tea for the newlyweds." He told the story just now in an understatement and evasive manner. After reading it again, he said casually, "Aunt, my nephew knows that you have always been a virtuous person, so he persuaded my uncle to take him back, so that outsiders would not be ignorant and ruin your reputation."

As Xiao Yi narrated, the temperature around her seemed to drop suddenly. Mrs. Qiao's whole face looked extremely ugly, her chest heaved violently, and she was obviously very angry. Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but think of the four maids she sent to the palace today... What a coincidence!

This Xiao Yi is simply ignorant!

Mrs. Qiao almost crushed her silver teeth and barely suppressed the anger in her heart. She was not doing this to give Xiao Yi face. Xiao Yi was her nephew. Even if she scolded him a few times, it was natural, but she had to worry about these young men who had nothing to do and came to her house to watch the excitement. If she doesn't accept this vixen today, tomorrow her reputation as jealous will spread, and her little daughter is getting married!

Xiao Yi smiled even brighter, "The delivery has been made, uncle, don't forget that you still owe us a drink."

"That's right." Second Young Master Huang repeatedly echoed, "Lieutenant General Qiao, this concubinage and drinking is a beautiful thing, and I will definitely come to support you!"

Mrs. Qiao's expression turned even more ugly. Xiao Yi was forcing her. Once the banquet was held, it was certain that Qiao Xingyao would take a concubine, so he would have to accept the vixen's cup of tea.

Qiao Xingyao naturally agreed, feeling that he was really lucky to meet his nephew who helped him such a big favor.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Xiao Yi did not stay any longer and simply said goodbye to Qiao Xingyao and his wife. He raised his whip and said, "Let's go to Zuixianju!" He roared away with a group of younger brothers...

And Qiao Zhai is destined not to be peaceful this night...
