Qiao Tianjing is eighteen years old, and he has taken a completely different path from his father. He is a well-known courtier in the capital, and now he is the Minister of Household Affairs.
Qiao Tianjing's success in getting this official position had something to do with his father, but he himself was equally ambitious and worked conscientiously in his official position, never making mistakes.
At this time, his face darkened, and he had a kind of fierceness that was not angry but self-defeating.
Qiao Diyi is fifteen years old and has taken the path of a military attache. Now he has gained experience in the military camp and has a small position.
This is what Mr. Qiao specially told him. Qiao Diyi is young and energetic, and it is inevitable that he will be impetuous. It is not appropriate to give him a high position, so he should be given a hard training!
At this time, Qiao Diyi was indescribably horrified, but he usually listened to his eldest brother's words the most. When he saw his eldest brother's serious expression, he immediately stopped talking.
Qiao Jiaojiao looked at the two people who were still and couldn't help but look confused.
[Why did the eldest brother and the second brother suddenly look at each other? 】
From her angle, she could only see their sharp chins.
When Qiao Tianjing heard this, the expression on his face suddenly changed. He lowered his head and touched Qiao Jiaojiao's face affectionately.
"My little sister is so cute, she looks just like my mother."
Qiao Diyi also reacted. He leaned down slightly and looked at Qiao Jiaojiao intently. He saw her dark eyes, which were indeed very endearing.
Qiao Jiaojiao looked at her two outstanding brothers and suddenly felt sad again.
[Two such brilliant young men, the eldest brother was framed in the officialdom, his reputation was ruined, and finally he was quartered! 】
[The second brother was assassinated by a traitor on the battlefield while fighting for the country, and his body was wrapped in horse leather! 】
[My little one died for no reason when I was only three years old! 】
【Ah ah ah! Why would God do this to us? We are obviously a loyal family, but we are being executed and our descendants are extinct. This is unfair! 】
Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi:! ! !
What!
My little sister will die at the age of three!
No, they absolutely cannot accept this!
My parents and I have been waiting for this little girl for more than ten years!
At this moment, Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Diyi were not shocked at their respective fates, but worried about Qiao Jiaojiao's safety.
Just now Qiao Jiaojiao did not reveal her fate, but now Master Qiao and Mrs. Qiao know that Qiao Jiaojiao is destined to die young, and they feel even more dizzy.
[No, I want to accumulate more merit! The more merit I have, the more capital I have to save my life and the Qiao family! 】
Merit?
When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she immediately decided that starting tomorrow, she would do good deeds and worship the Bodhisattva in the name of Qiao Jiaojiao, no matter how much money she spent!
After Qiao Jiaojiao recognized all the people, she was so tired that she couldn't stand it anymore. She still felt so hungry and her stomach was so empty.
【Ah——I’m so hungry——】
A cry like a cat's meow came from her mouth.
When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she immediately reached out her hand and said, "Jiao Jiao is making a fuss. She is probably hungry. I will feed her. You all can go out."
Although wives from wealthy families generally do not breastfeed their children themselves, Jiaojiao has been their favorite for more than ten years, and she has long since decided to do everything herself.
When Qiao Jiaojiao saw that her father was leaving, she screamed in fright.
【Dad! You can't get drunk tonight! 】
Qiao Zhongguo didn't want Qiao Jiaojiao to think that he could hear her thoughts, otherwise Jiaojiao would be constrained from thinking about anything in the future.
So he said in a gentle voice, as Qiao Jiaojiao had expected, "Madam, you have just given birth and are still too weak. I will stay here to take care of you tonight."
Mrs. Qiao also had her own plans. She shook her head considerately, "My husband is a grown man, so it's inconvenient for me to be here. I'll let you spend a few nights in the study these days, right?"
【Ah ah ah! The gears of fate begin to turn! Ouch, I can't, I'm really going to faint from hunger! Yeah yeah! Dad, you can't leave! 】
Qiao Jiaojiao was so busy that when the milk came to her mouth, her whole brain turned into a ball of paste, and she fell asleep after a few sips.
Seeing that Qiao Jiaojiao had fallen asleep softly, Mrs. Qiao called the wet nurse beside her, Aunt Liu, and said lightly:
"Mommy, I don't need you to serve me tonight. You can go and guard outside the study door to see if there are any little girls with evil intentions."
Aunt Liu's expression changed drastically when she heard this, "Madam, what do you mean!"
Mrs. Qiao looked calm, "In such a big mansion, there are always cats and dogs."
"Mommy, don't make a big fuss, otherwise the master will look bad. I still know how he feels about me."
Aunt Liu agreed with a solemn expression and hurried out.
On the other side, Qiao Zhongguo had already arrived in the study. With a smile on his face, he asked his servants to bring two large jars of wine, saying that he was so happy today that he would get drunk.
The moonlight was deep in the courtyard, and the two brothers stood opposite each other as they had always understood. Both had solemn expressions on their faces.
Qiao Diyi was the first to speak: "Brother, what on earth is going on? We can actually hear the little sister's voice! And it seems that the little sister can predict the future!"
Qiao Tianjing looked much calmer. He walked slowly for a few steps, then suddenly turned around and asked, "Second brother, is she our sister?"
Qiao Diyi was slightly startled by this question, but he still replied without hesitation: "Of course it is, she was also born in her mother's womb, and she is from the same mother as us!"
Qiao Tianjing nodded and said calmly:
"Isn't that enough? Maybe it's because God can't stand it. Our Qiao family is all loyal to the country but they were beheaded and wiped out. So it sent my little sister to save us."
"Second brother, I took a close look at my parents' expressions today. It seems that they can't hear my little sister's voice. Therefore, you know this and I know it, and you must not spread it to anyone."
"Otherwise, it will definitely bring disaster to my little sister's death, and it will also bring disaster to my Qiao family!"
Qiao Diyi already understood what his elder brother meant, and he nodded cautiously.
"Brother, don't worry. I know it well. From now on, I will use my life to love our little sister."
————
Qiao Jiaojiao woke up several times during the night, vaguely seeming to hear Grandma Liu's voice.
"Madam, you really guessed it! Oh my god, I saw that little hoof with my own eyes..."
"...There was a sudden scream in the house, and the master personally wrenched it out. Now there is a huge fire in the front yard..."
Qiao Jiaojiao's mind could no longer keep up. She muttered and fell asleep again.
When I opened my eyes again the next day, it was already bright.
Qiao Jiaojiao felt someone shaking her gently, and soon her father's heroic chin with a bit of stubble came into view.
【Ah ah ah! My dad looks more handsome during the day! 】
Qiao Zhongguo slowly lowered his head and saw Qiao Jiaojiao looking at him with her big eyes open, her face suddenly showing tenderness.
At this time, a frightened cry for mercy came from not far away:
"Master, for the sake of your slave and Hua Da serving in the house for more than thirty years, please spare that girl Liu'er!"
"She is blinded by lard. She should never have such dirty thoughts. After I take her home, I will discipline her well and never let her come out again to embarrass myself."
"Master, have mercy on me! Master, please have mercy on me!"
