Xie Yuan clearly felt the hostility between the Qiao family and his son. He lowered his eyes and looked at Qiao Yin innocently.
Qiao Yin glanced at Xie Yu'an and said quickly: "Father, my daughter was unfortunately kidnapped into a bandit's den before. Fortunately, General Xie desperately led people to rescue her. Father, he is my savior, and it was he who helped my daughter find out about her father's whereabouts. Otherwise, my daughter doesn’t know when and how long she will be able to reunite with her father and eldest brother.”
Xie Yu'an on the side quickly said obediently: "It's just a little effort, not enough."
Qiao Yin looked at him again and said anxiously: "Father, he is a good man."
It was as if he was afraid that Qiao Zhendong would bully Xie Yuan.
Qiao Zhendong narrowed his eyes, feeling unhappy.
The discovery of his daughter was such a great joy, and his heart had already flown to the sky with joy. He was naturally very grateful to the benefactor who escorted his daughter back, and his family had already prepared a banquet and generous gifts.
However, after just a few words, his daughter didn't even look at him, her eyes were all on this man.
This man's eyes were glued to his daughter!
Is this true?
How outrageous!
The treasure he just found is about to be kidnapped again!
Just kill him with a knife!
Qiao Zhendong was extremely unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. Even though his daughter had spoken, he couldn't let her face go down.
Qiao Zhendong had no choice but to thank Xie Yu'an and invite Xie Yu'an back to the Hou Mansion.
When the group returned to Jingan Hou Mansion, Qiao Zhendong told Qiao Mo: "Qiao Mo, take your sister to identify the house and then choose a yard. I will drink a few glasses of wine with my little Xie Eunuch to express our thanks."
Qiao Mo and Qiao Zhendong exchanged glances, and happily pulled Qiao Yin away.
Qiao Zhendong led Xie Yuan to the banquet room.
Qiao Yin saved Xie Yu'an, and Xie Yu'an owed his daughter's love, but for Qiao Zhendong, Xie Yu'an was his benefactor.
Qiao Zhendong entertained Xie Yuan with a song of Huang Feng wine that he was reluctant to drink.
The two sat down and exchanged a few polite words. Qiao Zhendong asked, "Where is General Xie from?"
Xie Yu'an replied respectfully: "My ancestral home is Huaizhou..."
Before he finished speaking, Qiao Zhendong opposite took a sip of wine and said quietly: "It's a bit far."
Xie Yu'an observed the words and quickly added: "My family also has some small properties in Beijing. Beijing is prosperous and the younger generation prefers it here."
Tsk, you like to be useless, can you still move your whole family to the capital?
A child with a yellow mouth is not reliable!
Qiao Zhendong cursed in his heart, but kept holding the glass of wine, and persuaded Xie Yu'an to have two glasses of wine, and started chatting. Hearing that Xie Yuan was an only son, Qiao Zhendong immediately laughed and said: "People like to be lively when they get old. I hope our family A Yin In the future, I can find a rich family with many brothers and sisters to help me."
This suggests that the initials should not be too obvious.
Xie Yu'an smiled and said: "My mother suffered a lot when she gave birth to me and was in bad health. My father loved my mother very much and never took concubines. There was no rule about taking concubines in the family, so I was the only one in the family. But my uncle's family has more than a dozen cousins. , even during the New Year and festivals, everyone gathers together, harmoniously and lively.”
After Xie Yu'an finished speaking, he observed Qiao Zhendong's expression calmly.
Qiao Zhendong held the wine glass and looked at him with his eyes moving up and down.
Okay, you kid really has bad intentions!
It was just his speculation at the gate of the city just now. These few words back and forth, a test and a confession, were almost enough to pierce the last layer of window paper.
The more Qiao Zhendong thought about it, the more irritated he became, and he really couldn't continue acting.
"Xiao Xie, thank you for sending my daughter back. This is a thank you gift for you. We, father and daughter, are finally reunited. We still have a lot to say, so I won't keep you for dinner."
Qiao Zhendong picked up a pile of thank-you gifts on the table and stuffed them into Xie Yuan's hands, then pushed him out of the door.
……
On the other side, Qiao Yin was pulled around the Hou Mansion by Qiao Mo.
"Sister, which yard do you like? You can choose whatever you like. It doesn't matter which yard my father faces. If you like it, I will move his things out for you to live in."
"Sister, what do you think of this bed? Is it big enough? You used to fall under the bed when you were little, but you're not afraid anymore."
"Sister, sister, when you were little, you loved to go to the river and play in the water. I'm going to ask someone to dig a pond in the garden tomorrow. It's right here. There's a lot of space here... No, no, I'll dig it myself. I'll dig a pond for you. Plant some water chestnuts and we can harvest water chestnuts in the summer..."
Qiao Mo's enthusiasm is scary. From the orientation of the room to the color of the window paper, and even the height of the threshold, he always asks "Sister, do you like it?" ’, as if if the threshold were raised just that much, his baby sister would trip and fall to pieces.
Qiao Yin was flattered and nodded repeatedly: "Brother, it's very good. Everything is very good. My sister likes it very much."
Qiao Mo shook his head and suddenly his eyes turned red, "No, no, it's two years late. If I had picked you up two years earlier... wu wu wu..."
The naive grown man just started crying without any warning, as if the tears and worries were weighing on his heart, and with a light touch, they all poured out with a crash.
Qiao Yin was touched and said hurriedly: "Brother, it's not too late. A-Yin is back. A-Yin will sing to accompany dad and brother in the future."
Qiao Mo whimpered and wiped away her tears again, raised her head and said, "Really? Do you really know how to sing a song to accompany big brother?"
Qiao Yin nodded: "Really."
"Good sister, can you promise me something?"
Qiao Mo looked at Qiao Yin with tears in his eyes, like a pitiful big wolf dog.
"Sister, can you marry later?"
Qiao Yin:......
……
After finally choosing a yard and comforting his crying elder brother, Qiao Yin was finally able to get away. When he looked up again, the sky was already filled with stars, and Xie Yuan was no longer on the wine table.
After getting along day and night along the way, Xie Yuan suddenly disappeared, and Qiao Yin felt a little empty in her heart.
She walked towards the door by accident, without much expectation. As soon as she went out, she saw a slender figure standing not far from the door.
Qiao Yin was stunned for several seconds, but he couldn't help but feel a sweetness in his heart, as if he had been thrown into a honey pot.
Qiao Yin lifted up the hem of her skirt and ran towards him.
"Xie Yu'an, are you waiting for me?"
Xie Yu'an watched her running towards him, her flying skirt and hair, like fluttering butterflies, flying to the top of his heart.
But he shook his head: "No, I'm looking at the stars."
Xie Yuan raised his lips and smiled, pointing to the stars in the sky.
"I'm wondering which star my little fairy lives on."
