"Miss, the eldest young master is back." Bi Zhu reported.
Qiao Yin looked at the sky outside. It was almost dark. Qiao Mo actually went to Yingtian Academy for a whole day?
There is a situation! Very situational!
Qiao Yin and Bizhu quickly came to Qiao Mo's yard and blocked Qiao Mo who was about to enter the door sneakily.
"Brother, where have you been today?!"
"No, I didn't go anywhere."
Qiao Mo hid the baggage in his hand behind his back, but the thing was too big to hide even if he wanted to.
"What is this?"
"It's okay, I'm going to sleep."
Qiao Mo dodged and ran in with his baggage.
This expression of guilty conscience becomes more and more suspicious the more you look at it.
"Bizhu!" Qiao Yin winked at Bizhu.
Bizhu immediately stepped forward, grabbed it, and opened it: "Miss, it's the bear skin that the young master hunted."
Qiao Mo staggered after being pushed by Bizhu, a bully, and said angrily: "Bizhu, you are really..."
Qiao Mo was so angry that he wanted to curse, while Qiao Yin looked at him eagerly.
Qiao Mo had no choice but to clamp the second half in despair and release a dumb cannon that had no lethality.
"I said, Bizhu, you are really getting stronger and stronger. You said that with your brute strength, who would dare to marry you in the future?"
Qiao Yin looked at the terrifying bear skin and said in shock: "Brother, are you using this to thank Wanran?"
Qiao Squib immediately became frightened again, scratching his head and saying in confusion.
"I just thought it's not more special than that rabbit fur? But I didn't expect Xue Wanran to be so timid. She was so scared that she fainted after just one look."
"Did you faint from fright?" Qiao Yin exclaimed.
Qiao Mo nodded blankly: "Not only did I faint from fright, but I also cried from fright. I didn't even want anything, and even kicked me out."
Qiao Yin couldn't laugh or cry.
Qiao Mo said distressedly: "I didn't expect it to be like this. I really want to thank her."
Qiao Yin looked at Qiao Mo's expression: "Brother, do you like Wanran?"
Qiao Mo doesn't know if he likes her, but he thinks of her from time to time these days.
"What's the use of my liking? A scholarly family like her won't like a warrior like me. I know myself." Qiao Mo said truthfully.
Qiao Yin saw it and said, "Brother, you don't have to be so arrogant. She seems to be open-minded and open-minded. If she sees her brother's sincerity, she may not be tempted. Today's thank you gift is indeed a bit abrupt. Brother, I have to give it a try. I will come to you tomorrow. Apologize properly.”
"Okay, then I'll try again!" Qiao Mo was encouraged and cheered up again.
Qiao Yin turned around and returned to his house.
She never expected that Qiao Mo's marriage should be with Xue Wanran. If this could happen, it would really be a good marriage.
She had to find a chance to talk to Xue Wanran.
……
At night, Qiao Yin went to bed early, looking forward to her date with Xie Yuan tomorrow.
Full of expectations, the night finally passed.
When the rooster crowed for the first time, Qiao opened his eyes and got up from the bed.
Bizhu heard the rustling noises and came in rubbing her groggy eyes: "Miss, it's not daylight yet?"
Qiao Yin couldn't tell her how she was feeling at the moment, so she waved her hand and said, "Go to bed, I'll dress myself."
The young lady in front of me is so strange!
Bi Zhu shook her head and left.
Qiao Yin lit the lamp, sat in front of the dressing mirror and painted with unprecedented detail.
An hour later, Qiao Yin looked at herself in the mirror, with symmetrical eyebrows, neat hair, and natural makeup.
If this was the case in the past, you would not take a hundred selfies before going out.
"Perfect!"
Qiao Yin nodded with great satisfaction.
It was already light outside, and Bizhu brought the cakes Qiao Yin had made yesterday.
Qiao Yin packed it into the box himself, and finally took out a palm-sized carved wooden box from the dowry.
There is a delicate camellia carved on the wooden box, which is lifelike. It is something that Qiao Yin has collected for a long time. This is the gift she plans to give to Xie Yuan today.
"Miss, it's just dawn, is it too early? General Xie is so busy, could he not get up yet?" Bizhu asked worriedly.
Qiao Yin patted her head and looked at her, she was too excited.
"Then wait another half hour."
As soon as Qiao Yin gave the order, the concierge's boy ran in quickly and said loudly:
"Miss, someone from the General's Mansion sent an invitation."
Qiao Yin was stunned for a moment, then smiled knowingly.
He really did not fail to do anything he promised.
"Bring it in."
Bizhu walked out and came back with a tray in her hand. The tray was covered with black velvet, and there was a gilded red post on the velvet.
The corners of Qiao Yin's mouth raised. When it comes to the sense of ceremony, it depends on his little An'an.
Bizhu also found it interesting and said with a smile: "General Xie really loves Miss Zhong. He even posted a message specifically for Miss Zhong."
Bizhu presented the invitation, Qiao Yin picked it up with a smile and opened it casually.
Xie Yu'an's handsome handwriting immediately came into view:
【With the protection of the emperor and the prayers of all relatives, he finally returned to the court victorious. We have prepared some drinks today, and sincerely invite Qiao, the daughter of the Marquis of Jing'an, to come into the house to celebrate together... The tenth day of September in the sixteenth year of the Le Dynasty...】
Qiao Yin was stunned and read the time again and again.
The sixteenth year of Le Dynasty, the first year of Xi?
Could this be the invitation given to her by Xie Yuan at the celebration banquet in the Western New Year?
Qiao Yin closed his eyes on the invitation and looked carefully. The color on the invitation was indeed a bit old, and there were also slight creases on the west corner.
Six years ago, he specially sent her an invitation, but unfortunately she returned it.
Even so, he still kept this invitation for the Western New Year?
Did he fall in love with her a year ago?
Qiao Yin felt sour and unbearable, and there were already tears in her eyes.
"Prepare the car, prepare the car quickly, I'm going to the general's mansion now."
Qiao Yin held the invitation and walked out.
"Go back to Miss, the General's Mansion has sent a car to pick you up. It's right outside the door."
Qiao Yin came to the gate and saw a brand new carriage parked outside. The carriage was hung with red curtains, golden tassels, and an ivory ball hanging on the west corner. It was very gorgeous.
"What a beautiful carriage." Bizhu couldn't help but praise.
"Miss Qiao, please get in the car."
The coachman put down the horse stool and bowed to ask Qiao Yin to get on the coach.
Qiao Yin stepped on the horse stool and got into the carriage. The carriage was covered with soft felt and smelled of the faint fragrance of plum blossoms.
Qiao Yin was not thinking about it at the moment, and only urged: "Hurry up, the faster the better."
She wanted to see Xie Yuan immediately.
The carriage drove out slowly, facing the rising sun, and brought Qiao Yin to the general's mansion.
Qiao Yin didn't wait for Bizhu's help, jumped down from the carriage, looked up and saw a figure standing under the gate.
He deliberately waited for her at the door.
"Ayu."
Qiao Yin called his name, ran over quickly, and ran into his arms.
Xie Yuan put his arms around her, his face full of smiles the moment he saw her.
"It's so early, does it disturb your sleep?"
He thought about this problem, but he wanted to see her so much. He wanted to see her as soon as possible.
I was obviously used to waiting for so long before, but these days I couldn't sit still for even a moment.
People are indeed greedy.
"It's too late, it's too late."
Qiao Yin held the old invitation tightly, her eyes filled with tears.
It's late for the Western New Year.
