"Haha Qiu~" The drenched woman sneezed.
"Sister-in-law, don't catch a cold, I'll wipe it off for you."
The third miss of the Qiao family, Qiao Xin, held a handkerchief to wipe the water off her sister-in-law Tian Ke's face.
The young woman who fell into the water and was rescued not long ago was wrapped in a blanket, her hair was wet and stuck to her cheeks, and her face was pale.
Qiao Xin felt distressed when she saw her sister-in-law's distressed appearance, and comforted her:
"Sister-in-law, let's take the sedan chair later, the second brother has already informed the servants at home to boil hot water, make ginger tea, and prepare dry clothes, please bear with it."
Tian Ke sniffed. In fact, her heart was much calmer than her appearance. She even asked interestingly:
"Sister, which boatman rescued me? I have to thank them very much, otherwise my life will be accounted for below."
As Tian Ke said, he couldn't help but recall the warmth and courage that suddenly appeared in the cold and fear when he was at the bottom of the lake.
The feeling she recalled at this moment.
Qiao Xin didn't know what her sister-in-law was thinking. Thinking of the savior, she said in a strange tone:
"Second brother has already gone to entertain those guests, that is."
Qiao Xin frowned slightly, it was hard for her to describe the attitude her second brother showed after meeting the people on the boat.
Very tense, very restrained, and even a little... flattering?
"Who is that person? It seems that the origin is not simple." Qiao Xin murmured to herself.
In her eyes, her second elder brother is a formidable person, he talks and laughs like a gentleman, and has no casual contacts. He is a famous young talent of their generation in Yue country.
Many uncles praised the second brother, although he is young, but he is a rising star, and he will also be a talent for governing the county in the future.
The second brother is so powerful, he has a good reputation in the younger generation of Yue country.
"Although the life-saving grace is certainly worthy of gratitude, but it's just to entertain the benefactor, but the second brother can't be so flattering, right?"
Qiao Xin complained in her heart, she rarely saw her second brother showing such an expression in front of outsiders, as if he was facing his father or some high-ranking people.
"Who is that person?"
As a lady of every family, Qiao Xin had seen the world, so she secretly felt strange.
this is not
As soon as she got off the boat, she poked her head and looked towards the rescuer's boat.
It was a warrior with a sword who cleared the way first, leading a young man in white to get off the boat.
That young man has a very good appearance, Qiao Xin has rarely seen such a handsome person, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a handsome man.
But the skin is only on the outside, she saw that those warriors were all led by young men in white clothes, and her second brother Qiao Yuanjin even stepped forward to salute immediately, with a lot of respect and fear in his words and expressions.
Qiao Xin watched from a distance, with various doubts popping up in her little head:
"It's strange, which handsome man is this, so powerful."
The children of famous families flashed through her mind, but she couldn't find the right one.
After thinking about it, suddenly, I remembered the things my uncles and uncles in the family told me recently
Almond eyes widened, small mouth slightly opened
Qiao Xin raised her hand to cover her lips lightly, as if lost in thought, she murmured:
"This is His Royal Highness the King of Yue?"
Qiao Yuanjin received the King of Yue.
The carriage came, and it was Qiao Yuanjin who mounted the first carriage to welcome King Yue.
The second carriage was arranged for Qiao Xin and Tian Ke, the two female relatives.
"Sister, which family are those benefactors from? We have to thank them well." Tian Ke said.
Qiao Xin pursed her lips, looked at her sister-in-law's curious look, leaned over, and whispered in her ear.
Tian Ke listened attentively, and gradually a pair of peach blossom eyes showed shock!
The carriage drove, all the way back to Qiao's mansion in Xiangxi from the shore of Xianghu Lake.
The two female relatives did not go through the main entrance, because the main entrance was reserved for honored guests, and they both went through the side entrance.
Tian Ke was eager to keep out of the cold, and was received by the maid to take a bath and change clothes, while Qiao Xin walked quickly from the side door to the direction of the main door.
It can be seen that the entire Qiao Mansion is in motion. The male and female servants are busy, some carry water and sweep ashes, some carry fragrant flowers and candles, and some prepare drinks and banquets
She even saw the elders in the family, with white hair and dark spots on their faces, all wearing elegant dresses at the moment, and their whole bodies were well-groomed.
The moment the gate of Qiao's Mansion opened, a carriage arrived at the gate of Qiao's Mansion without any haste.
The second elder brother led the way, the clan elders received him, the servants scattered flowers and offered incense, and welcomed the young man in white into his home.
On this day, Qiao's mansion is destined to be lively and tense, even at night, Qiao's mansion is still brightly lit.
Until we go to the wing,
Yan Fei checked around for a while, and nodded after confirming that there was no problem.
Wang Ge stayed here, sat on the edge of the bed, untied Wan Guijian from his waist, and put it on his knees.
Killing dragons during the day and socializing at night, he had a busy day.
"The Qiao family still respects the status of the king of Yue, and the etiquette is quite thoughtful, and there is nothing wrong with it."
After Wang Ge entered Qiao's residence, the Qiao family could be said to be respectful and treated each other with high standards of etiquette, and the elders of the Qiao family showed up.
These clan elders were at the level of Jiuqing during the time of Lao Yue Wang, and now they are "begging for bones" and returning to the family to support them.
The head of Qiao's contemporary patriarchal family settled in the royal capital and served as an official in the court.
Seeing King Yue's visit, the most respected and respected clan elder of the Qiao family showed up on his own initiative.
During the banquet, they paid attention to Wang Ge's comfort and hobbies, recalled the achievements of the old Yue king in the past, talked about the achievements of the Qiao family in Xiangxi, and cried when they talked about the emotion.
The next thing is to flatter Wang Ge,
Yu Gong, Qiao praised Wang Ge as the king of Yue for "the rule of inaction is a sage", so that the people can all live in peace and recuperate.
It should be said that the big family can really speak, and Wang Ge's "monarch offline system" has been blown into "a rule of inaction, a sage's act".
In private, Qiao thanked the king of Yue for saving his life. The son of the Qiao family, who is also the husband of Tian Ke, is now the county magistrate of Xiangxi County, Qiao Yuanyu, bluntly said, "If there is no kindness from His Royal Highness, Zhuojing's life is in danger, and the great kindness is beyond words." , Yuan Yu engraved it in his heart."
Then he drank nine cups in one breath,
Don't say whether the Qiao family is hiding small thoughts, vacillating between Daxuan and the king of Yue, but the superficial skills are really tight, without any flaws, which shows the self-cultivation and shrewdness of the big family.
"Those who can be local tyrants are not idiots, they are all human beings." Wang Ge commented.
He shook his head and said in his heart:
"In the history of my hometown of Blue Star, there are many clear examples. On the surface, they are loyal ministers, but in reality they look like wolves, and they seem loyal like traitors."
The big family will not give the King of Yue a chance to criticize, and they are cautious in what they say and do.
"However, what can you do if the water is not leaking on the surface? It's not like I can't find a flaw."
Wang Ge smiled slightly, his eyes lit up.
The insight ability of the Eye of Mingling is revealed at this moment.
This pair of divine pupils can not only spy on ghosts and gods, the sky and the earth, but also people.
Other people's cultivation depends on their luck.
Especially luck, luck in the world, black, white, blue, purple, vermilion, gold
Ordinary people have white luck. If they have a little reputation and are recognized and respected by others, they will change towards blue.
But if he is hated, reviled, hated, especially when the scolding is greater than exaggeration, then the overall luck of the person will be black.
At a glance, Wang Ge found that in the entire Qiao Mansion, most of the ordinary servants were of white luck, and some clan elders and young talents were even of blue luck.
But in such a large area of green and white luck, Wang Ge still found seven or eight guys with black luck.
