"Is there someone coming from Jinling?" The eldest lady was overjoyed and hurriedly opened the door bolt and said softly: "Who is coming?"
Huan'er shook his head: "My servant doesn't know either. Someone from the mansion came on horseback to report that the carriage has arrived at the north gate. It must be almost at the store now."
After being away from Jinling for so long, this was the first time someone from Jinling came to Lin Wanrong, and Lin Wanrong felt a sense of surprise in his heart. Xiao Yuruo couldn't wait and rushed out. When the two of them arrived at the store, a young boy came forward excitedly and said, "I've seen the eldest lady, and I've met the third brother."
"You four virtues, how come you sneaked into the capital?" Lin Wanrong yelled, grabbed his shoulders and laughed.
Side's eyes filled with tears and he said: "Third brother, not only am I here, but also -"
"The car is here, the car is here -" Huan'er, who was standing at the door of the store, shouted sweetly: "Third brother, eldest lady, come out and take a look!"
Lin Wanrong and the eldest lady hurriedly opened the curtain and went out. They saw two carriages approaching slowly in the distance, creaking softly, and the sounds became more and more real from far to near. On the curtain hanging on the front door of the carriage, there is a big word "Xiao" written on it. Both carriages had drooping curtains. The carriage behind seemed to be carrying a lot of things and looked very heavy, while the carriage in front was obviously lighter.
The two cars came close, and the handlebars clicked to stabilize the carriage. There was silence inside the carriage for a while, and then a little maid jumped out of the car, opened the curtain, and a beautiful and mature figure emerged from inside, wearing a goose-yellow gown. With a graceful figure and a slight smile on Ruyu's cheek, she looked at the eldest lady and softly called: "Yuruo!"
"Mother!" The eldest lady was startled and then overjoyed. With tears in her eyes, she threw herself into Madam's arms with a sweet cry. She had thousands of words in her heart that she wanted to say, but she seemed unable to speak, so she burst into tears. .
"Silly girl!" Madam's eyes were slightly red, she held the eldest lady tightly in her arms, patted her shoulder gently, and the mother and daughter hugged each other.
It turns out that the lady has arrived! Lin Wanrong couldn't believe his eyes. Why is Madam here after being so far away? Didn't she say she didn't want to go to Beijing?
While the madam and the eldest lady were talking softly, they caught a glimpse of Lin San's surprised expression and smiled slightly: "Lin San, you think it's strange, why did I come to the capital so quickly?"
Lin Wanrong shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not strange, it's not strange. My wife always behaves in a surprising way. It would be strange if others guessed it."
Mrs. Xiao chuckled and said: "I haven't seen you for more than a month. Your mouth has become more and more capable, and you even dare to tease me. If I don't want to surprise you, then find someone who can surprise you -"
Before he finished speaking, another gentle and pretty face appeared in the carriage. Looking at Lin Wanrong's tears looming, her red lips moved slightly, and her delicate body couldn't stop trembling.
"Brother--" The woman shouted softly, tears staining her cheeks. She jumped down from the shaft of the car and rushed towards Lin Wanrong's arms.
"Qiaoqiao?!" Lin Wanrong exclaimed. Before he could figure out what was going on, the familiar and delicate body rushed into his arms. Qiaoqiao hugged his waist tightly and pressed her cheek against his chest. Tears flowed down like the Yangtze River bursting its banks. My whole body was shaking violently, and I almost fainted from crying. [Heavenly Kiss Hand Beat]
Lin Wanrong's eyes were red, and he held Qiaoqiao's weak body in his arms. Suddenly, a kind of family affection that was thicker than water came to his heart, and he was indescribably moved. This feeling can only be brought to him by Qiaoqiao and Qingxuan. He and they are one, just like a tree vine and a tree root, relying on each other. The eldest lady, Xian'er and Luo Ning have not yet taken the final step in their relationship with him, and they are still far away from the blood and family ties.
"Silly girl, stop crying, brother is here!" Seeing that Qiaoqiao had already burst into tears and the clothes on her chest were soaked, Lin Wanrong wiped the corners of his eyes and comforted softly.
Qiaoqiao hugged him tightly and refused to relax for a moment, with tears streaming down her face as she said, "Brother, is it really you? I'm not dreaming! I miss you so much that I almost want to die!"
Lin Wanrong hugged Qiaoqiao's small waist tightly, as if he had grasped the most precious treasure, and said with sobs in his throat: "Silly girl, it's not a dream, it's true! Big brother misses you too."
"Brother, big brother--" Qiaoqiao murmured to herself with hot tears streaming down her face. She held on to him desperately, as if she wanted to rub herself into his body.
The eldest lady wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, glanced at Qiaoqiao, who was crying loudly in Lin Wanrong's arms, and said softly: "Mother, sister Qiaoqiao, it's cold outside, let's go inside quickly to talk!"
"Yes, yes, hurry up and go into the house. Qiaoqiao, my little baby, my husband will carry you in." As he said this, he was about to pick up Qiaoqiao by the waist. Qiaoqiao let out a frightened cry and stopped crying. , jumped away with a blushing face, and hurriedly looked at the eldest lady and Mrs. Xiao. Although she and her eldest brother had kowtowed three hundred and nine times, but in front of outsiders, no matter how willing they were, how could they have the nerve to ask her eldest brother to actually carry her in?
Seeing Qiaoqiao's hair stained with dust and her face covered with dust, one can imagine the bumps and hardships on the road. The journey from Jinling to the capital was more than a thousand miles, and she, a weak woman, traveled through mountains and rivers. Even if the sky fell, she could not cover up her feelings. Lin Wanrong felt sour in her heart and roared softly. Regardless of Qiaoqiao's struggle, she picked her up by the waist and walked straight into the hall.
"Oh -" Qiaoqiao was surprised. Looking at her eldest brother's resolute face, she felt sadness and sweetness welling up in her heart. She called out "brother" softly, then couldn't say another word and buried her head in his arms. Let the tears fall, all the hard work will disappear with just this hug.
"This disgusting person!" The eldest lady knew that now was not the time to indulge, but seeing him being so sincere and affectionate towards Qiaoqiao, she couldn't help but feel a little sour in her heart.
"Yuruo, what did you say?" Madam looked at her meaningfully.
The eldest lady's face felt hot, and she didn't dare to meet Madam's eyes. She hurriedly lowered her head and whispered: "Mother, it's windy outside, let's go in quickly."
Mrs. Xiao looked at Lin San, then at the eldest lady, shook her head slightly, sighed, and walked towards the living room.
After entering the door, the maid had already brought hot towels and boiling water. After the two of them took a bath, Huan'er brought two cups of hot ginseng tea, and the eldest lady personally brought one cup to her mother. There was a cup left and he personally brought it to Qiaoqiao: "Sister, it's windy and cold this way, thank you for your hard work. Drink it quickly to warm your body."
Qiaoqiao hurriedly took it with both hands, thanked the eldest lady, held the ginseng tea in her little hands to warm it for a while, and was about to put it to her mouth when she saw the elder brother beside her looking at her with a smile, so she put the ginseng tea away again. He came down and handed it to Lin Wanrong and said: "Brother, drink first!"
This girl wants to hurt me to death. Lin Wanrong's heart is sour. There are countless women he knows and flirts with, including the noble and holy Qingxuan, the cunning Xian'er, the lively Luo Ning, and the resolute Yu Ruo. All of them have extremely strong personalities and opinions! Among these women, Qiaoqiao's halo is the least outstanding, but it is this lovely Qiaoqiao who thinks of him all the time and treats him like a god!
Lin Wanrong held her little hand holding the cup with both hands and said: "Little darling, big brother is not cold. You have come such a long way. Please drink more quickly to keep yourself warm."
Qiaoqiao shook her head and said, "Brother, I'm not cold either. On the road, whenever I think about seeing you soon, my heart gets warm."
Mrs. Xiao took over and said: "Qiao Qiao, this girl, when walking on the road, she has to ask about the distance every hour. After walking for more than half a month, she has asked not only a thousand times, but also eight hundred times. "
Qiaoqiao lowered her head in embarrassment and said: "I have never traveled far since I was a child, and I don't know where the capital is. If I don't ask every day, I will never feel at ease. I am afraid that if I accidentally go the wrong way, I will not see my elder brother. "Brother, am I stupid?"
Lin Wanrong was extremely moved. He held her hand and said, "You are not stupid. You are the smartest woman in the world. No one can compare with you. Drink your tea quickly. It won't keep you warm when it gets cold."
Qiaoqiao shook her head firmly and said softly and shyly: "Brother, you are the head of the family. You should drink this tea first, otherwise I will not feel at ease."
The eldest lady looked at Qiaoqiao and sighed softly. No wonder he loves Qiaoqiao so much. Although this little girl is a poor peasant girl, her sincerity is as good as crystal. How many people in the world can do that.
That's all, that's all, I owe this girl my life. Lin Wanrong took the ginseng tea and put it to his mouth and touched it lightly. Then he smiled happily and drank the ginseng tea happily. That charming and cute look made the eldest lady and Mrs. Xiao, who were also women, couldn't help but praise her in their hearts.
"Qiaoqiao, why did you come to Beijing with your wife?" Lin Wanrong asked after seeing everyone gradually calm down from the excitement and joy of meeting each other.
Qiaoqiao snuggled next to him, with a faint blush of happiness on her face, and said softly: "Brother, on the eighth day of the first lunar month after you left, our Shiweixian branch in Confucius Temple also opened, and now everything is up. On the right track, our Shiweixian restaurant is the largest in Jinling. In addition to dad, Qingshan and Beidou also came to help, and I also hired a few accounting gentlemen, and everything was running very well without my eldest brother. I feel uncomfortable, and Mrs. Xiao just asked someone to tell me that she is looking for someone to go to Beijing——"
Mrs. Xiao smiled and interjected: "You girl, it's obviously you who came to ask me out, why did it turn out that I came to meet you?"
"Madam, didn't you promise me not to tell?" Qiaoqiao's face turned red and she argued hurriedly. Seeing her elder brother looking at her with a smile, she lowered her head slightly and did not dare to speak.
"Silly boy." Mrs. Xiao sighed softly: "It's not a shame if you want to see him, so why can't you say it? Are you still afraid of his blaming? If Lin San dares to bully you, I will be the first to spare him! "
Lin Wanrong took Qiaoqiao's little hand and smiled slightly. The little girl hummed softly. Her heart was filled with joy. She suddenly thought of something and said, "Brother, someone asked me to bring you a message."
"Letter? What letter?" Lin Wanrong asked strangely.
Qiaoqiao smiled mysteriously, took out an envelope from her pocket and stuffed it into his hand.
There's nothing to say, just rush out a chapter! No matter how hard or tiring it is, I accept it!
