Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

This was Qiao Lian'er's first time in the capital, but her portrait had been sent here long in advance, and it was not necessarily seen by only those main generals.

This time, the attack on the Qiao and Qin families in the capital had far-reaching consequences, but the two major families still had their roots. Some were exiled, but others were only demoted.

So it was not surprising that Qiao Jianer was targeted.

She was thinking that, firstly, she had to rely on the Pei family and use this big tree to ward off disasters; secondly, she had to go to see the emperor as soon as possible to let people know that Princess Dingxiang was right under the emperor's nose.

The Pei family's house is located on the central street. The gate is painted vermilion and is solemn and magnificent. The words "Pei Mansion" are inscribed in gold on the lintel. Two huge stone lions sit majestically, holding pearls in their mouths and with bright eyes. Outside the gate is a marble screen wall carved with intricate and exquisite patterns.

Looking around, you can see the place surrounded by high walls and deep courtyards, which give off a sense of heaviness that is hard to achieve after hundreds of years. Pavilions, towers, flying eaves and brackets can be vaguely seen, hidden among the towering ancient trees and bamboo forests. Everything is arranged in a staggered manner, which makes people feel awe.

Pei Shijiu looked back at Qiao Jianer and saw emotion in her eyes, with a hint of smile on her brows.

It seems that his family is pretty good.

After entering the mansion and walking along the open front yard for a while, an old man with half silver hair came forward and bowed respectfully.

"Master Eldest, Master Second, distinguished guests, the food is ready."

"This is Butler Qiu. He has been in the Pei family for forty years." Pei Zhujin introduced him to the three of them.

"I heard that among the distinguished guests there is the Princess of Dingxiang County, I wonder which one it is." said Butler Qiu.

"Hello, Steward Qiu, it's me who deserves your respect." Qiao Jianer said.

Butler Qiu took a closer look and saw that the girl had a full forehead and her eyes were filled with compelling intelligence, and he couldn't help but marvel at it.

As expected of her becoming a county lady at the age of thirteen, she is truly an extraordinary person.

"The county lady is not like ordinary people. She will definitely be able to step onto a higher level in the future. Today, I have really opened my eyes."

He is also humble and basically has no airs. He has witnessed countless changes in the capital and the ups and downs of fortune. Those who survived to the end were all people with great talent and humility. Those who were easily arrogant, even if they could climb up, would often fall hard.

"Thank you for your good wishes, Steward Qiu." Qiao Jianer said.

Butler Qiu nodded again. It was rare to see such a genuine person who did not hide his desires and ambitions. He felt disgusted when he saw people who wanted something in their hearts but said they didn't want it.

"Let me see Miss Kama."

Outside the hall, a graceful lady came out, her eyes and eyebrows full of smiles, full of enthusiasm.

"This is my mother." Pei Shijiu reminded from the side.

Qiao Jianer greeted her with a greeting: "Hello, Madam Pei."

"You must be Miss Jian'er. I've been looking forward to seeing you every day. Finally, you have come." Mrs. Pei was even happier when she saw such a polite and lovely girl.

He raised his hand and put his arm around Qiao Jianer's shoulders: "Thanks to the herbs Miss Jianer sent, otherwise, I might still be lying here now."

Mrs. Pei's gesture was so gentle that Qiao Jian'er felt a slight warmth in her heart. She said, "Master and Madam are blessed by fate. My herbs are only of little help."

"Look at how good this child is at talking." Madam Pei's smile widened. "The food is ready. I'm afraid you haven't had a good meal after all the traveling. Come and sit down."

"The yard has been decorated for you. After dinner, take a good rest for a day. Tomorrow, I'll let Jin'er and Jiu'er take you around. Jiu'er said she wants to take you to see all the new things in the capital and have fun."

The table was filled with a dazzling array of delicacies, all of which were treasures from the capital. I couldn’t even name many of them, but I knew they were delicious, very delicious.

The master of the Pei family also sat at the table. He was a serious man and rarely smiled, but one could still see his welcome.

He looked at Qiao Jianer silently and already had an idea in his mind.

This girl has great talent and a calm temperament, as if she would remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of her. She is someone who can do great things, and he is happy that the two brothers can make friends with such a girl.

There was fine wine on the table, and several men drank it. The master of the Pei family found that Dacheng had a good alcohol tolerance. He also saw that there was a sense of majesty between his eyebrows, and his figure was tall and straight. When he ate, his back was very straight, as if it was a kind of inertia.

"Is the young man from the Qiao family a general?" Master Pei guessed.

Dacheng said truthfully, "He is the military commander of the border garrison, in charge of a thousand soldiers."

"Very good, very good. I think you have the bearing to control a battlefield. You will definitely do something great in the future."

The identity of a soldier is not enough to look up to in the capital, but Master Pei has already known that the Qiao family is a family of peasants. This kid is sixteen or seventeen years old and has already become a soldier. It can be seen that he has earned it through his own strength. Such a person will definitely have a lot of room to display his talents in the future.

"Eat more." Mrs. Pei asked the servants to add more food to the three siblings.

The food in the capital was so delicious, with a completely different flavor from that in the south. The three siblings all ate their fill.

After the meal, they sat around the fire, drank tea and chatted.

Mr. Pei had to go to the government office to do some work, but he just now couldn't get away in order to meet the two brothers' good friends, so he also took the time to come here.

Mrs. Pei still needed to rest and was a little tired after all the hustle and bustle, so she asked the two brothers to take the three siblings to the yard to settle down.

"If you have any needs, just tell us. We can satisfy them here. Don't hold it in. It's not easy for you to come here. We, the Pei family, must do our best to be good hosts." Mrs. Pei said.

Qiao Jianer and Qiao Zhizhi's yards are in the same place, and Qiao Dacheng's is next to them, all in the same direction.

Walking along the path, there are buds of flowers and newly sprouted green branches everywhere. The flowers are already in full bloom in the south, but the climate in the north is cold and spring is just beginning to show. The sound of gurgling water can be heard from far and near, which is very interesting.

The garden and courtyards twist and turn, and after walking a distance, you will find a different world. The three siblings admired it with great interest.

After Dacheng and Qiao Zhizhi entered the yard, Qiao Jianer came out of the room.

At this time, the Pei brothers were about to leave outside the door.

"Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master, I want to go see the Emperor now."

"Why do we have to go now? We have been traveling for half a month. Let's have a good rest tonight and talk about it tomorrow." Pei Zhujin said.

Pei Shijiu: "Little girl, why are you in such a hurry? There's plenty of time later."

"Perhaps the Emperor has already known of my arrival. If I delay for a night, it would seem lazy and disrespectful."

Pei Zhujin thought about it and said: "Okay, we will go with you."

"Wait, I'll go get the things for you. I can see you're not prepared." Pei Shijiu blinked mysteriously and left in a hurry.

What is it? Qiao Jianer wondered.
