"When was this house prepared?" Qiao Yin asked in shock.
Xie Yu'an said: "Didn't you notice that no one comes in or out of the house next to the Hou Mansion?"
Qiao Yin opened his eyes wide again, and it took a long time for his mind to turn around: "It's Xi'an again?"
"Although I set it down a few years ago, I'm afraid of scaring you, so I only come here to stay a few days a year." Xie Yu'an said.
"Today, with the permission of the Marquis, the door was opened."
Xie Yu'an said as he pulled Qiao Yin through the arch and entered the house to the south.
The fragrance of flowers hit her face, Qiao Yin looked at the sea of red flowers and suddenly realized.
"I asked why the flowers were collected so quickly last time. They turned out to be right next door."
The last time there was a strong wind, the flowers Xie Yuan sent to Qiao Yin all withered, but the ones here still grew well.
Xie Yuan smiled slightly and acquiesced.
Qiao Yin had to sigh: "General Xie, you still have many secrets waiting for me to explore."
Xie Yuan smiled and said: "That's good, so that you don't get tired of me early."
She seemed to like the new and dislike the old.
"No way, I am full of curiosity about General Xie every day. Let me see what else is hidden in you!"
Qiao Yin turned around and rushed to Xie Yu'an, reaching into his sleeve and groping around.
"Ah! Found it!"
Qiao Yin exclaimed and pulled out a ball-shaped object from his sleeve.
It was a Twenty West Lock, a type of Luban Lock, but the design was extremely delicate and complex.
"Xiao Xie, do you still have toys with you?"
Xie Yu'an frowned and took the machine lock from her hand, "Given it to me?"
Qiao Yin nodded: "This is too difficult for children, but for big babies like General Xie, it's just right."
Xie Yuan pursed his lips to prevent the corners of his mouth from being too open.
"Like it?"
Qiao Yin saw this thing on the street today and wanted to give it to him. I wonder if Xie Yuan had such a delicate toy when he was a child.
Xie Yu'an nodded, "I like it." He liked this little gift and also liked her unique way of giving gifts.
Xie Yu'an held the machine lock and said, "I do have something hidden. Would Ayin want to see it?"
Xie Yu'an raised his hand and pointed to a lighted house not far away.
"Is there any surprise waiting for me in the house? I'll go check it out!"
Qiao Yin excitedly let go of his hand and ran quickly into the lighted room. When he opened the door, he saw a set of phoenix crowns and harems placed inside.
Red silk, gold embroidery, bead and jade rings, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes away.
"Have you even prepared my wedding dress?"
"I asked the embroiderer to make it temporarily. It's a bit hasty. I hope Ayin doesn't mind." Xie Yu'an said.
Qiao Yin stretched out her hand and looked at the gorgeous wedding dress. The stitches and threads on it were more exquisite than any embroidery workshop she had seen today.
Especially the phoenix crown, the pearls are shining, each one is a rare treasure.
Qiao Yin didn't know what to say, so she could only turn around and throw herself into his arms, put her hands around his neck, and said affectionately and coquettishly: "My brother Yu'an, why are you so good?"
This shout was very natural.
The corners of Xie Yuan's mouth slightly raised: "My sister Xiao Qiao deserves the best."
ah! Here to seduce her again!
She can't stand it!
"Xie Yu'an, you've offended me, lower your head!"
Qiao Yin suddenly retracted his hand and ordered him with a stern face.
Xie Yu'an knew that she had a new trick, so he smiled and obediently leaned over and lowered his head.
"See if I don't kiss your mouth to bits today!"
Qiao Yin pounced on it and took a bite.
Xie Yu'an 'obediently accepted the punishment' and reached out to support her waist so that she could nibble more easily.
After she had made some "eloquent words", Xie Yu'an said slowly: "I forgot to tell you, there is someone next door."
"Ah?" Qiao Yin was stunned for three seconds and panicked: "Who, who?"
"My father and my mother." Xie Yu'an said calmly.
"Ah You!"
The dead memory instantly resurrected in his mind and launched a fierce attack. Qiao Yin wanted to scream but didn't dare. He lowered his voice and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
I’m too embarrassed to see people, I’m really too embarrassed to see people!
Qiao Yin gave Xie Yuan an angry look, and Xie Yuan smiled successfully, "I lied to you."
Qiao Yin opened his eyes wide again and looked at Xie Yuan dubiously: "Really?"
Xie Yuan suppressed his laughter and nodded: "Really, there are only two of us here."
Qiao Yin breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Xie Yu'an dissatisfied.
Okay, okay, if you dare to tease her, just wait! !
……
Although Xie Yu'an was eager to marry Qiao Yin, he still waited for Qiao's mother's bones to return to Beijing and be laid to rest before he came again.
Qiao Zhendong held a grand ceremony for his deceased wife, but this could not at all fill the guilt in Qiao Zhendong's heart.
The night before he was buried, Qiao Zhendong held the coffin and talked to his late wife all night long.
"Fang Niang, Mo'er has become successful. She has been promoted to an official position and is about to start a family. She is marrying a scholarly lady. If you see her in heaven, you will definitely wake up with a smile."
"Also, our little daughter, you have been worried since she was a child, fearing that she would not be able to support her when she grows up. Fang Niang, you teach well, you teach well, our daughter is sensible and Filial piety."
"Mo'er is getting married, and Ayin is getting married too. They have both found their sweethearts, and they will have a close person by their side for the rest of their lives."
"Don't worry about being too lonely. Don't worry. In a few years, I will be here to accompany you. If I am not with you in life, I will definitely look for you after I die."
……
Three days after Qiao's mother was buried, the Xie family's marriage proposal team came to the door.
In addition to Yuan Shangshu, there are also the most famous matchmaker in the capital, and Xie Ren, who is holding the wild goose with a look of reluctance.
This time, Qiao Zhendong invited Yuan Shangshu to the table.
Yuan Shangshu remembered what happened last time and couldn't help but joked: "You old guy has finally turned a corner. Now you can like me?"
Qiao Zhendong sneered, "Seeing through but not telling the truth, don't you understand the politeness of adults?"
"Yo yo yo, you old man is still talking about etiquette, so let me tell you, we really don't have etiquette today." Yuan Shangshu said with a smile: "General Xie means that he can't wait any longer. Cai, asking for names, and Najib did not follow the old rules. The first three were combined into one. Today we exchanged Geng Tie, and went to find a wedding date first. The marriage between the two families was decided in advance. Qiao Brother, do you think so?"
Xie Yu'an had already sought Father Qiao's opinion on this matter beforehand.
His daughter was married next door and he didn't have to leave the capital. Besides, Xie Yu'an was really sincere and his daughter was devoted to him.
If Qiao Zhendong wants to be the stumbling block again, he seems to be a bit messy.
"I have no objection." Qiao Zhendong turned to Qiao Mo and asked, "Qiao Mo, do you have any objection?"
Qiao Mo waved his hand and said, "I don't have any objection either."
Qiao Zhendong looked back at Qiao Yin who was standing behind him: "Where is my daughter?"
Qiao Yin was stared at by everyone, and she couldn't help but feel shy. She thought to herself: If I had known, she might as well have been listening in the back hall. Why did she catch up and come over to join in the fun?
Qiao Yin glanced at Xie Yuan, who was looking at her expectantly.
Qiao Yin blushed and shook her head: "My daughter has no objection either."
Bizhu clapped her hands happily, "Master, Bizhu has no objection, hurry up and get married, hurry up and get married!"
Everyone burst into laughter, and Qiao Zhendong said, "Okay, then our whole family has no objections. Let's choose a date as soon as possible."
