Chapter 23

Late at night.

In Qiao's courtyard, it's dark. Luo Yu comes into the house with her on her back, and rhubarb dog follows behind, wagging its tail.

"Go back."

Luo Yu looks back at rhubarb.

Rhubarb seems to be able to understand people's words. It's gone.

A moment later, it ran to the farm behind Qiao's yard. In the moonlight, a thatched cottage stood alone.

There is an old wooden rocking chair under the eaves. An old man is lying on it to enjoy the cool. He is holding banana fans one by one. He seems drunk and awake. Beside him is an orange gourd.

"Waste wood, come back... Gulu!"

He is uncle Hei who guards the farm for the Qiao family. His skin is as dark and shiny as his name. He is like an old coal miner. He knows it's rhubarb dog coming back without looking at it. He grunts and takes a sip of wine gourd.

"Wang ~"

Rhubarb roared. Every time he heard the name of "waste wood", his eyes would look terrible.

"What are you looking at? The second lady didn't give you a bone. It's no use staring at me. Go back to your kennel and cool off..."

Black uncle sent rhubarb away, squinting a gap in his eyes, looking at the direction of the courtyard and muttering to himself, "old Joe, I've tried my best. This family is doomed. It depends on the fate of your descendants, alas..."

……

Dong Dong!

On the second floor, Luo Yu is knocking at the door of Xiao Qiao's room.

At this point, Qiao Xiangxue went to bed early, but her sister didn't go home tonight. She was still reading under the desk lamp.

Hearing the knock on the door, Qiao Xiangxue came in his pajamas in a hurry. As soon as he opened the door, he saw that it was Luo Yu, and his face immediately cooled down.

"You two, dare you play a little more?"

She is very unhappy. At this time, Luo Yu stands in front of her sleeping sister on her back. It was originally a very warm picture, but it made her very uncomfortable.

Maybe it's because in her heart, she hasn't accepted the fact that Luo Yu is her husband, so she doesn't like Yu Meng lying on someone's back so much. In case someone's mind is not right, how can this girl get married in the future?

"I'll give it to you, girl."

Luo Yu puts down Xiao Qiao and gives it to her sister.

Qiao Xiangxue catches her subconsciously and wants to reproach her again. But Luo Yu goes back to the house without paying attention to her.

"Who has the face to lose his temper when he does something wrong?"

She thinks that Luo Yu is not happy with her just discipline, but she doesn't know that Luo Yu doesn't want to have the same opinion with a little girl.

"Brother-in-law, get up early tomorrow, help me train cats..." Qiao Yumeng Baji's lower lip, mouth crystal clear flowing down, talking in his sleep.

Qiao Xiangxue is both angry and funny. She also heard that the reason why Nizi rebelled was because someone taught her cat to be obedient.

"She's such a big girl. She's still fooling around with a loafer all day. Do you want to get married?"

Qiao Xiangxue feels that the girl in her arms is very heavy. She suddenly realizes that this girl is already a big girl. She can't help wondering what kind of man Yumeng will marry in the future.

As a sister, she is cold to everyone and strict with her sister on the surface, but in her heart, she always dotes on her.

"It's OK to marry any man, but don't want to be like my elder sister and get on that kind of guy."

Think of marriage, Qiao Xiangxue can't help but look at his room, because that guy, her life happiness, is destroyed!

……

Early in the morning, Qiao Xiangxue goes to the company as usual, and Luo Yu is lazy in the eyes of his wife and family.

"Uncle, is someone visiting?"

After breakfast, Wang Ma, the servant, came to tell me.

"When a guest comes, let your master take care of him. What can I do for him?" Luo Yu glanced at the father-in-law who was reading the newspaper.

Last night, the old man didn't bring the half demon dog back.

But I can see that he was very upset. He got up early and didn't pay much attention to Luo Yu. He probably wanted to express his dissatisfaction to Luo Yu in this silent way.

But Qiao Tianbo overestimated his position in Luoyu's heart, and also overestimated the family's position in Luoyu's heart.

If it wasn't for taking care of his mother's feelings, Luo Yu would have gone.

"Who's the guest?"

Hearing the arrival of guests, Qiao Tianbo stood up.

After the last time, he did not dare to let this moody son-in-law be the host again.

"Master, I'm here to find my uncle." Wang Ma said with a smile.

"To me?" Luo Yu is strange. He doesn't have any sense of existence in this home. Qiao's guests should not come to visit him. Besides, he has no friends in this city.

"Bring the guests in."

Without waiting for Qiao Tianbo to open his mouth, Luo Yu meets his guests on his own.

Wang Ma went out, and then, with an old man and a young girl into the hall, "two, please come inside."

The visitor was a girl in a long blue skirt, followed by a rickety but energetic old man with a master servant attitude.

The girl is very beautiful. She has a good figure and fair skin. A pair of big phoenix and big eyes are flying upward. It gives people the feeling of being noble. Her family background is very unusual.

"Oh, niece Lin Ying, what brings you here? Please sit down."

Without waiting for Luo Yu to say hello, Qiao Tianbo greets her with a smile and seems to recognize the girl's identity.

How can Qiao Tianbo not recognize him?

In China, there are few prominent families that can compete with the Qiao family, and the Lin family in the imperial capital is one of the best.

"I've seen Mr. Qiao. Yinger came uninvited. I'd like to disturb you. I hope Mr. Qiao will be very kind."

The young girl Lin Yingtian smiles and greets the master of Qiao's family. She immediately looks at Luo Yu and says, "this must be the new uncle of Qiao's family. When the first lady gets married, the Lin family fails to congratulate her in time. Don't blame him."

Then the girl glanced at the rickety old man, took a brocade box from the latter, opened it and said with a smile, "Yinger is here to represent the Lin family. Congratulations on the marriage of Qiao family. I wish my uncle and miss a happy marriage for a hundred years."

When Qiao Tianbo saw that there was a famous ancient painting in the brocade box, which was of great value, he immediately laughed and said, "ha ha! My niece is too polite. It's my Qiao family's bad manners. I can't send the wedding invitation in time. I hope my niece will go back and make amends to your father for me. Come and accept this gift! "

Mother Wang rushed forward to receive gifts for the master.

The father-in-law was so happy with an ancient famous painting that he couldn't close his mouth, but Luo Yu didn't respond.

In Luo Yu's eyes, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, which are popular with sour literati, are worthless!

It's the wild ginseng of the Song family last night. It's really helpful.

Lin Ying is also secretly observing Luo Yu's words and deeds. She is surprised to see that a valuable ancient painting can't make Luo Yu happy.

You know, it's not easy for the Qiao family to receive such a generous gift.

She muttered in her heart that the new uncle of the Qiao family was either paralyzed or short-sighted. She didn't understand the value of that ancient painting at all.

But it doesn't matter. After being polite to the Lin family, it's time to deal with her personal affairs.

"Mr. Qiao, to tell you the truth, Ying'er is here this time. Besides congratulating my uncle and miss on their newlyweds, she has one more thing to ask from my uncle." Lin Ying spoke politely.

"Oh? Do you know my son-in-law? " Qiao Tianbo was surprised.

"Never met." Lin Ying looked at Luo Yu and said with a smile: "but I heard that the Song family originally had a wild ginseng with a thousand years old, which was given to my uncle last night. Unfortunately, my brother has been seriously ill recently and needs good medicine to take care of him. If my uncle is willing to give up, Ying Er is willing to pay three times the price to take it away!"
