   Chapter 523 Reunion Dinner

   Seeing He's eagerness to share gossip with her daughter, Qiao Zhao asked face-savingly, "Which family is your grandmother looking for for the eldest sister?"

"There is a family surnamed Zhao in the suburbs of Beijing. They have been farming and studying for several generations, but there is a rule that their children are not allowed to go into office. Your grandmother has an old sister's daughter who married into that family. She lived a good life. The second time was the thread that the aunt pulled." He sighed and muttered, "I think it's pretty good too."

  It's a pity that the world is blind and thinks her reputation is not good, otherwise it would be extremely worry-free to marry such a family.

  Although Mr. He has no heart, he would not say such words in front of Qiao Zhao, and could only be silently sad.

  Qiao Zhao's mind was exquisite, aware of the regret in He's words, holding He's arm and said with a smile: "Is your mother still happy now?"

   Mr. He really shifted his attention and said with a smile, "It's not too bad, my mother can eat three bowls of rice now."

   "You can't eat too much, mother, let's eat two bowls."

  The mother-daughter duo entered the West Cross Courtyard with a smile.

  Dongkua courtyard was quiet, Li Jiao was sitting in front of the embroidery frame by the window, pinching the needle and hearing Ruo Wu Ruo Wu's laughter, he pricked his fingers with blood beads in dismay.

   She put the needle on the embroidery frame, grabbed her bleeding finger, and called out after a while, "Xing'er, why is it so noisy outside?"

Li Jiao's personal maids were originally Chunfang and Qiulu. Since she made a mistake, Mrs. Deng sent two big maids in a rage and replaced them with two honest maids, one named Xing'er and the other named Xiao Tao. .

  Xing'er walked in quickly and replied, "It's the third girl who came back, and the wife accompanies the third girl to the West Crossing Courtyard."

   "Li San is back?" Li Jiao murmured, a haze appeared between his brows.

   She closed her eyes, and the laughter in her ears seemed to be clearer.

  What are Reizo and his stepmother laughing at?

  Humph, she must be laughing at her getting married to a poor household in the coming year.

  Li Jiao couldn't help thinking of the scene when Mrs. Deng was testing her for this marriage.

   What did she say then?

   She smiled and nodded, saying that as long as it was arranged by her grandmother, it would be fine.

  The grandmother loosened her attitude, and since then she has acquiesced in going to Qingsongtang to greet her from time to time.

  They thought she was very satisfied with this marriage, but they thought she had a bad reputation, so it would be good to marry.

   But why? Her mother was also a girl from Bo's Mansion, and her father was a noble Hanlin Xiuzhuan. If it wasn't for her mother's early death, how could she have been reduced to marrying a small family?

   and Reizo—

   She can still marry anyway, but Li San, with such a reputation, can only be an old girl in the Li Mansion for a lifetime, so why laugh at her?

   The more Li Jiao thought about it, the more he hated it, and with one stroke of his long nails, the half-embroidered mandarin ducks playing in the water pillow towel was ruined.

   "Girl—" Myolie was taken aback.

  Li Jiao glanced at her and said coldly, "Remove the embroidery cloth and wait for me to comb my hair."

  Li San is back, and the family will definitely have a reunion dinner. She has been doing well recently, and she will have the opportunity to attend at that time.

   She wanted to see what happened to Li San.

  Qiao Zhao returned to the West Cross Courtyard, and Mrs. He instructed the maid to boil hot water for her to bathe.

   It wasn't until the whole body was soaked in a tub of rose dew that Qiao Zhao had a real sense of returning home.

   After going through so much, she really returned to the capital.

  Qiao Zhao slowly sank his body, his long hair spread out in the water like algae.

  The steaming water was very comfortable, Qiao Zhao closed his eyes, worried about Shao Mingyuan entering the palace to face the saint.

   This time, the witnesses and materials were all available, and Shao Mingyuan brought Xing Wuyang back, so there should be no more accidents.

   It’s a pity that she can’t see those things openly in her capacity.

   There is also a brother, who must miss her very much, and I don't know if it has been reduced by staying in the general's mansion, and whether the younger sister is naughty in the evening...

  Qiao Zhao thought for a long time, immersed in the tub as if he fell asleep, and heard Mrs He's voice outside the door: "Zhao Zhao, have you washed?"

  Qiao Zhao returned to his senses: "After washing, I'll come out."

  Wrapped tightly and returned to the house, Mr. He took the horn comb handed over by the maid and combed Qiao Zhao's hair in person.

   "Mother, don't be too busy, you're inconvenient now."

He pursed his lips and smiled: "Mother can't do heavy work now, so it's okay to comb your hair. Zhaozhao, you come back safely, mother's heart can be put down, we won't go anywhere in the future, just stay here. by my mother's side."

   "Okay, I won't go anywhere in the future, I'll accompany you."

  If possible, she also wants to be Li Zhao quietly.

  The reunion dinner was placed in the flower hall of Qingsongtang. Mrs. Deng specially ordered someone to go to the Guozijian to call Li Hui back, and Li Jiao walked out of the room as she wished.

   "I haven't seen you for a few months, and the third sister has been cleared." Li Jiao smiled and brought the hot rice wine to Qiao Zhao, "The third sister is away from home, and the family has been thinking about you very much."

   "Thank you eldest sister for remembering." Qiao Zhao replied with a not enthusiastic attitude.

  Li Jiao squeezed the cup tightly, his teeth bit his lower lip, and said softly, "Could it be that the third sister is still blaming me?"

   She accidentally broke into the brothel and injured Changchun uncle and youngest son Lai to Qiao Zhao's head. Everyone in the audience is well aware of it, and they understand where these words come from.

   Qiao Zhao smiled and asked Li Jiao lightly, "Miss, must you discuss this with me today?"

  She knew what Li Jiao meant.

   In front of all the masters of the West House, he brought up this matter with a grievance gesture, which seemed to be an apology to her, but in fact, he forced her to say the words of forgiveness.

   If she said forgiveness, then the matter is over, and if she is dissatisfied with it again in the future, she will hold on to it.

  If she doesn't show forgiveness, she is narrow-minded and intolerant.

   On this trip to the south, she killed more than one person, and when she returned to the inner house, how could she be patient with these verbal battles.

  Qiao Zhao avoided answering, a rhetorical question made Li Jiao stagnate.

   Mrs. Deng has already said: "Okay, it's rare to have a reunion dinner, don't say that there are none of these."

  Li Jiao lowered his head: "It's the granddaughter who can't speak, so don't blame the grandmother."

  Her hands tucked into her sleeves clenched tightly, making her heart hurt.

   They are all granddaughters who have lost their reputation. She is now like a mouse that cannot see the light of the sun. She is careful to please her grandmother, who is the master of the house.

  Why!

  Li Jiao broke his fingernails with force on his hand.

   Pain came, making her complexion change slightly.

   Li Hui, who was sitting beside Li Jiao, asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, eldest sister?"

  Li Jiao slowly squeezed out a smile: "It's nothing, I haven't eaten with you for a long time, I'm a little excited."

  Li Hui moved his lips and sighed softly.

   There were braziers in the four corners of the flower hall, and the room was warm. After a meal, the tip of Qiao Zhao's nose was sweating.

   At this time, the maid Qingyun opened the cotton curtain and came in and announced, "Old Madam, someone has come from the palace."
