Chapter 127 - 127 Qiao Kou And Concubine Du

127 Qiao Kou And Concubine Du
Concubine Du had heard that Xie Jingrong was not yet engaged, and she was very happy about that.
Qiao Kou was quite pretty and was also a miss from an officer’s family. She should be a great match for Xie Jingrong.
Xie Jingrong was now in the county, and she believed that it was a good opportunity for the two of them to get married.
Qiao Kou had looked at Xie Jingrong briefly before, and felt so bashful even to think about marrying him.
If she could be martially connected to the Xie Family and became Xie Jingrong’s wife, she would be really satisfied.
Xie Jingrong was not into the imperial examinations, but he was already a Recommended Man. With his talent, he could definitely become a Primus easily by exerting a little effort.
When they got married, things would be different. By that time, she could try to persuade him towards serious studies, and he would definitely become better.
Moreover, he had a great background. If he ever became a Primus, he would definitely make it to the highest position in his career.
That was a promising future!
Both Qiao Kou and Concubine Du had drawn a beautiful picture about his future in their heads.
Concubine Du coaxed Officer Qiao, and talked into Officer Qiao’s ears. He was moved.
However, after speaking with Madame Qiao, Madame Qiao turned down the proposal calmly.
She was not as talkative as Concubine Du and did not make a long speech. All she said was that Xie Jingrong was from a noble family. He was talented, good-looking and his grandparents’ positions were also high. He was even qualified enough to marry a princess, or some noble miss from a prestigious family!
Why would the Xie Family allow him to marry a mere concubine’s daughter?
She had heard that Young Master Xie had a very high standard towards his future wife, and that was why he had not gotten married till date. Would Qiao Kou be capable enough to be a match for him?
They could not risk it!
Only then did Officer Qiao realize what was going on. He was taken aback.
He lectured Concubine Du severely who had been waiting for his news outside. She almost caused him a lot of trouble!
Concubine Du knew that it must have been Madame Qiao who created the disruption. She was angry and furious, but could do nothing about it.
The marriage would not work out, if the Madame of the family disapproved of it.
Qiao Kou was very annoyed too.
She had assumed that with Qiao Xuan’s help, it seemed as if she had had a good position in the family.
She even sneaked out just to run into Xie Jingrong and Yuezheng Xiao.
However, Xie Jingrong and Yue Zhang Xiao returned to the hostel, after Officer Qiao’s persuasion.
Madame Qiao sneered and told Officer Qiao what happened.
Officer Qiao got so furious that he slapped hard on Qiao Kou’s face, grounding both her and her mother.
He was worried that Xie Jingrong would get angry about it, so he asked Xie Jingrong and Yuezheng Xiao to watch the race, as a way of compensation.
Qiao Wei kept sneering at Qiao Kou. She told her about the race, and then mocked her.
“Do you think you are good enough for Young Master Xie?”
Concubine Du even asked Madame Qiao to take Qiao Kou along for the race, but her request was turned down.
They were both really furious and sad, sitting at home…
The race started soon.
With Officer Qiao present here, the prize had to be good.
Officer Qiao expressed that the grand prize would be a roasted pig and goat, and the winning team would share the prizes.
In addition, the winning team would be granted 2 liang.
The prize was extremely luxurious!
