The second day.
After lunch, Qiao Zhongguo took his family to Xiao Mansion.
Because he handed in the greeting card yesterday, Xiao Hongda took advantage of the time and waited at the door with Mrs. Xiao.
Soon, the Qiao family and their entourage turned the corner and appeared in front of the Xiao family.
Xiao Hongda was dressed in blue home clothes. He had a handsome face and a tall figure. He looked extremely elegant and easy-going.
When he saw Qiao Zhongguo on horseback, he pinched his hands hard to hold back the surge of joy.
This time, Erlang of the Qiao family accepted him as his teacher because he had taken the clear path before the Holy Emperor, so almost everyone in the capital knew about it.
I don't know how many pairs of eyes were watching them secretly at this moment.
Qiao Zhongguo and his two sons dismounted, then turned around to pick up Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Jiaojiao from the carriage before the two families greeted each other.
Xiao Hongda did not show excessive enthusiasm, but thoughtfully invited Qiao Zhongguo and the others in.
After entering the house and no one else was there, Mrs. Xiao immediately took Mrs. Qiao's arm affectionately, her face full of joy.
"Mrs. Qiao, I never had the chance to thank you in person for what happened at Huguo Temple last time. You must stay and have dinner before leaving tonight."
Mrs. Qiao already knew about the friendship between her husband and General Xiao, and also knew that she and Mrs. Xiao would be in-laws in the future, so she agreed with a smile on her face.
"Mrs. Xiao, why are you so polite and don't say thank you? This time Erlang becomes General Xiao's disciple, and we will be in constant contact from now on."
Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't help but snicker when she saw the closeness between her mother and Mrs. Xiao.
[Not only that, when the second brother marries his sister-in-law, our Qiao Mansion and Xiao Mansion will be one family! 】
Entering the main hall, the two sisters of the Xiao family were waiting there.
Upon seeing this, Mrs. Xiao quickly waved to them.
The two Xiao sisters immediately came forward and saluted Qiao Zhongguo and Mrs. Qiao.
Qiao Tianjing stood behind his father, not squinting.
Qiao Diyi was also well-behaved, but as soon as he thought of the second young lady of the Xiao family in front of him, he could see his heart as if it was being scratched by a cat.
Miss Xiao Er did not dare to be presumptuous in front of her father. She bowed solemnly, and when she stood aside, she found an opportunity to glance at Qiao Diyi.
Strange to say.
Ever since Qiao Diyi turned his back on her last time, she felt that Qiao Diyi was obsessed with her.
Sometimes while eating, the dish in front of me becomes Qiao Diyi.
Sometimes when I'm practicing martial arts, the gun in front of me becomes Qiao Diyi.
Distraught, she rolled up on the bed, and the top of the bed curtain turned into Qiao Diyi.
She panicked, wondering if she had fallen into Qiao Diyi's trap?
As a result, after she told her sister such a weird thing, her sister looked at her and laughed, making her confused.
Now she really saw Qiao Diyi. She felt that he seemed to be a little tanned. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that he was a little taller.
Qiao Diyi was very keen. He vaguely noticed that eyes were falling on him, so he boldly looked over.
At this glance, he met Miss Xiao Er's shining eyes.
At this moment, Qiao Diyi suddenly had a straightforward feeling. It turned out that the person who tickled his heart was not the kitten, but Miss Xiao Er!
"cough!"
Qiao Zhongguo suddenly coughed heavily, which frightened Qiao Diyi, and he quickly looked away.
"Erlang, why don't you come over to become a disciple?"
If he hadn't been outside, Qiao Zhongguo would have kicked him in the butt!
I agreed to come to be a disciple, but ended up falling in love with someone else's daughter. Even if Lao Da is a dead brother, I still have to give him a big showdown!
Qiao Diyi felt the murderous look in his father's eyes, and all the scratching by the cat disappeared.
He hurriedly walked to the hall and knelt down facing Xiao Hongda.
"General Xiao, Di Yi is dull by nature and has a reckless temperament, but he is rough-skinned and thick-bodied, can withstand being beaten and kicked, and can endure hardships. Please don't dislike him, General Xiao, and accept Di Yi as your disciple!"
"From now on, I am a teacher for a day and a father for a lifetime. The justice of the earth——"
"cough!"
Qiao Zhongguo coughed heavily again and hurriedly interrupted Qiao Diyi's words.
Qiao Zhongguo knew the virtues of his second son.
If he doesn't stop him, this kid will call me daddy on the spot!
How abrupt this is—
"Ahem, General Xiao, your dog is stupid, please give me some advice."
There was a smile hidden in General Xiao's eyes.
When the Qiao family's Erlang and Lao Qiao were young, they were cut from the same mold!
Even his temperament is exactly the same as the original Lao Qiao!
Thinking of this, General Xiao was very happy for Qiao Diyi, and stood up to help him up personally.
"It's done, no need to pay such a big courtesy, I recognize you as my disciple."
Qiao Diyi was so excited that he couldn't describe it, and he whispered: "Thank you, General Xiao - no, thank you Master!"
Qiao Zhongguo couldn't help but curl his lips.
Seeing Erlang and Lao Da standing together gave him the illusion of going back to the past.
Next, Qiao Diyi kowtowed according to the rules and served tea, and the apprenticeship ceremony was completed.
Mrs. Xiao knew what her second daughter was thinking, but that silly girl hadn't figured it out yet. She was happy with her, but she didn't even know what admiration meant.
At this moment, Mrs. Xiao looked at Qiao Diyi carefully, looking more at her son-in-law.
But from now on, Erlang from the Qiao family will come here often, and he will observe slowly, not in a hurry.
There was plenty of time in the afternoon, so Mrs. Xiao proposed to take Mrs. Qiao for a walk in the back garden.
Mrs. Qiao was worried that Qiao Jiaojiao would go to bed soon, so she left her with Qiao Zhongguo.
Seeing that the female family members were all gone, General Xiao suddenly said: "Master Qiao, I have something serious that I want to talk to you about. Is it convenient for me to move to the inner hall?"
Qiao Zhongguo didn't get what he asked for, so he told the two sworn brothers, "You guys sit down and have some tea."
Then he picked up Qiao Jiaojiao and followed Xiao Hongda into the inner hall.
After closing the door, Xiao Hongda suddenly turned around with a smile on his face.
"Old Qiao, you really dote on your daughter. I'm here to catch up with you for a while, but you still hold your daughter?"
Qiao Zhongguo laughed, "Lao Da, you don't understand, Jiaojiao is my favorite!"
Qiao Jiaojiao:?
【etc! Lao Qiao? Lao Da? 】
[This...it sounds like General Xiao and Dad are very familiar with each other! 】
Qiao Zhongguo said, gently placing Qiao Jiaojiao on the soft couch in the hall, then turned around and hugged General Xiao.
It's no exaggeration. Qiao Jiaojiao felt like she heard the sound of chest muscles colliding!
"Lao Da! I miss you so much!"
Qiao Zhongguo slapped General Xiao's back hard, his voice full of joy, but trembling slightly.
Qiao Jiaojiao has never seen her father so excited!
General Xiao didn't show any mercy. The two of them hugged each other, you hit me and I hit you. They looked like close friends reunited after a long separation, and more like long-lost relatives!
Seeing this, Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes widened.
The dog author is a cow!
The two big bosses, her father and General Xiao, were as close as brothers. There was nothing written about such a relationship!
