Lujiang Wan County.

In the most luxurious house in the county, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were having fun

"Sister, look at me and I’m here to catch you!"

The two people, who were just in their early ten years, showed their true qualities as little girls when playing.

Although they are not too old, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the average age of marriage was twelve, the two were already close to the marriage age.

The name Er Qiao, accompanied by The praises of local people are widely spread in Jiangdong.

Many famous families in Jiangdong come to propose marriage.

After all, the Qiao family is also the largest clan in Lujiang and Anhui County.

The family strength is not low, and the reputation of the sisters Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao is widely spread..

Let the younger generation of Jiangdong families be moved by it.

"daughter!"

The old man Qiao Gong who got a daughter hurriedly walked into the inner courtyard -

"Daddy!"

Big Qiao and Xiao Qiao stopped playing.

Xiao Qiao happily ran towards Mr. Qiao and grabbed his gray beard.

"where have you been?"

"Why are you here to play with us now?"

"Deserve punishment!"

"Penalty, penalty, penalty."Mr. Qiao was pulled by his little daughter by his beard, but he didn't have any impatience.

Instead, he smiled and allowed the other party to manipulate him.

"younger sister."Da Qiao came dignifiedly, and after greeting Mr. Qiao, he stopped Xiao Qiao.

"Don't be rude to daddy"

"There are servants present"

"snort!"Xiao Qiao snorted, but didn't let go.

"What if the servants are present?"

"I just want to play with daddy! Mr.

Qiao didn't have any anger at all. Instead, he followed Xiao Qiao and said,"Okay!""

"My good daughter, you can do whatever you want.

Da Qiao said,"Dad, don't pamper her too much."

"You are already over ten years old, how can you get married in the future if you do things like this?"

"A little~" Xiao Qiao stuck out his tongue towards Da Qiao and made a face.

"I don't care about getting married"

"From now on I will always stay by my father's side"

"take care of daddy"

"Not going anywhere. Mr. Qiao was greatly moved,"

She is really my good daughter.""

"correct.

He suddenly became serious and said:"My two good daughters, please don't go out and run around recently.""

"Jiangxia bandits have rebelled and have captured our two counties in Lujiang."

"It's too chaotic outside, I'm afraid there are bad guys"

"Got it daddy."Xiao Qiao responded sweetly, and finally pulled Qiao Gong's sleeves and said coquettishly.

"Daddy, come and play chess with me"

"Look at the new tricks I learned yesterday"

"I will definitely kill you and defeat you!"

"No. Mr. Qiao refused and said,"Dad has to deal with the affairs of the government.""

"The world is in chaos lately, and things have become more complicated"

"We need more manpower to look after homes and nursing homes."

"Otherwise...ahem!"

Knowing that he had said too much, he quickly coughed to cover it up.

"You go play with your sister. Daddy will come over after dinner."

"snort!"Xiao Qiao put his hands on his hips and pouted, his face full of displeasure.

"Daddy’s words don’t count!"

"You promised to play with me, but now you say you have something to do……"

She wanted to continue talking, but suddenly she felt a pain in her ears.

Turning around to look, she found that Da Qiao was pulling her ears, not knowing how to hold back at all.

"Sister, I was wrong!"Xiao Qiao quickly admitted her mistake.

Her two big eyes were filled with tears.

"I won't disturb daddy from doing business. I'll play chess with you. Da Qiao let go and said,"

This is not bad.""

"Come on, come play with me."

Picking up Xiao Qiao, Da Qiao turned around and left.

But deep down in his heart, he was worried about his old father.

His brother died young, and only the old father and the two of them depended on each other in the whole mansion.

If anything happened to their father, what would the two of them face? , Da Qiao knows it all too well.

As she is slightly older, she thinks much more than Xiao Qiao.

Sometimes she is very envious. It would be great if she could be as carefree as Xiao Qiao. (Read Baoshuang novels , just go to Feilu Novel Network!)

No matter how much she thought, a daughter's family could not change the situation at home.

How many times did she wake up from her sleep.

In the dream, she turned into a man, standing upright and carrying the whole family.

However , , when she woke up, everything was as usual.

Being a daughter made her extremely uncomfortable.[]

In the lobby of the mansion, Mr. Qiao called the old housekeeper.

The fatherly expression had long since disappeared from his face, and Mr. Qiao was serious and deep.

"Immediately take out the money from the inner treasury and go outside to recruit nursing homes."

"Recruit more"

"The price is enough"

"In addition, find someone to purchase some weapons"

"You have to spend money that needs to be spent, don’t save it."

The old housekeeper asked after thinking for a while.

"Master, why don’t we go to Lujiang City to take shelter?"

"The world is so chaotic, and the Jiangxia bandits are going to attack at some point."

"If I stay here, I don’t know what will become of me"

"What's the use of guarding this house?"

"Just keep your belongings and land deeds and wait until the storm has passed before returning."

"Although there is some loss, it is still better than the bandits breaking into the city and destroying the whole family.

Duke Qiao sighed and said,"You think I don't want to go?""

"But are the officials in the city freeloaders?"

"Our clans have no roots and no roots. They are just granaries and money warehouses in the hands of officials who can be killed at any time."

"If Lujiang needs to suppress rebellion, it needs money and food."

"During the famine years, the people had nothing to eat. Where did the money and food come from?"

"Not our clans?"

The housekeeper had nothing to say on the spot.

"That's it. Let's go recruit people quickly. Don't be lazy."

Qiao Gong then added:

"correct"

"Inform the tenant farmers outside the city"

"After the Chinese New Year, all land rents will increase by another 10%"

"If you are capable, please hurry up and come to Fuzhong to report."

"If you can't do it, get out immediately!"

Stern words sounded in the lobby, and a trace of cruelty appeared on Mr. Qiao's old face.

"promise."The butler responded and got busy.

The butler understood that his master was going to destroy several tenant households again.

Putting away the properties and including the population as slaves were all routine methods.

But he also knew that the expenses of the Nuo family were also huge..

There is no room for Mr. Qiao to be cruel.

What's more, if Mr. Qiao dies, his two little daughters will be driven out by the family.

I wonder when Mr. Qiao can find someone to rely on for his two daughters.

The housekeeper thought secretly.

In the lobby, Mr. Qiao He let out a long sigh.

In the famine years, the harvest was not good, but the expenses were increasing day by day. Nuo Da's family was running, and everything was money and food.

Every day he opened his eyes, he saw a huge amount of money and food, otherwise he would not be able to survive.

"well!"

The faint sigh echoed in the lobby.

"If possible, who would be willing to bully those people?"

"The stalls above will probably be put down when they are no longer needed.……"

"I don’t know how much food I have to pay this time...".
