Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 218 I don't like the name Tong Meng

Qiao Lili woke up before dinner. After waking up, he knew that his father, Duke Dingguo, had arrived in Tongmeng City, so he went to the main hall to find his father.

"Daddy, you came and didn't even wake me up." When Qiao Lili saw that there was no one else in the main hall, she just bowed perfunctorily and walked to her daddy to act coquettishly.

"After fighting another battle, Lili must be exhausted, right? How could daddy have the heart to wake you up? Did you sleep well now? How are your injuries? You didn't get hurt again this time, did you?" Qiao Xuan asked questions one after another, making the old father very worried.

Qiao Lili burst out laughing, "Dad, you have so many questions, which one should I answer first?" She walked from the left side of her old father's chair to the right side and looked at the battle report in her father's hand. It was so good, so good that he could still be by her side, and she was willing to give anything for him.

Qiao Xuan didn't realize that he was asking a lot of questions. It was only when his daughter reminded him that he smiled helplessly: "Is your wound healed? Are you injured again?"

"No, don't worry, Dad. I have Ajing to protect me." Hearing Qiao Lili deliberately mention Yu Jingyan, he felt a little sour in his heart. Oh, this girl is so scheming. Qiao Xuan looked at his daughter's every frown and smile. His daughter really looked more and more like Xier. He couldn't help thinking in his heart, if Xier was still alive, seeing her now, how happy she would be to be so capable.

As he thought about it, the smile on his face faded.

"Dad, are you missing Mom again?" Qiao Lili looked at her father's face and asked cautiously.

Qiao Xuan did not answer his daughter's question, but lowered his head to look at the military newspaper in his hand.

For a moment, Qiao Lili wanted to tell her father the news that her mother might still be alive, but then she thought again, another battle would have to be fought soon, and now was not the best time, and she must not disturb her father's mind.

"Dad, now that Tongmeng City has been returned to our Great Yan, should we change its name? When can the court send officials here?" Qiao Lili didn't like the name of this city. Her father, the emperor, didn't want the country of Beimeng to exist, so there would be no Tongmeng.

Qiao Lili didn't like the name Tong Meng, simply because she thought it implied treason. Qiao Xuan looked at his daughter. It was one thing for the little girl to talk about the war with a stern face, but sometimes she still had some little girl's thoughts.

"Girl, if you want to change the name of this city, it's just a matter of your words. Even though your father is far away, he knows how the emperor treats you." Qiao Xuan put down the military newspaper in his hand, and he didn't even realize that there was a subtle sour taste in his words.

"I have asked Wei Qi, the deputy county magistrate of Xiguan City, to come to Simon City to temporarily manage Simon City. I guess the emperor will probably formally appoint him as the county magistrate of Simon City. Xiguan City must be close to Tongmeng City, so Wei Qi is more familiar with the local conditions and customs of Northern Menggu. He is an upright official and has been the deputy county magistrate for many years. It's time for him to be promoted. If the emperor sends someone, he should send a deputy county magistrate. This place has just been ceded to Dayan, and one person cannot handle it." In fact, there is no need to analyze this, it's all obvious.

Qiao Lili does not have much input on the appointment of officials in the court now, because she has been in court for a short time and does not have a thorough understanding of the officials, so Emperor Yong'an will not seek her opinion on matters in this regard.

"So do I need to think of a nice name for Beimeng City now?" The emperor will probably throw this to her. What should she call it? Should she ask A Jing? Thinking of Cao Cao will lead to Cao Cao. Qiao Lili just thought of Yu Jingyan when the sergeant came to report: "Lord Bingguo, the Sixth Prince is here."

"Please come in!" Qiao Xuan stood up from behind the table and wanted to get up to greet him. There is a difference between the monarch and his subjects. Even if he is his future son-in-law, there is a monarch and his subjects first, and then there is a father and his son. But before he could walk out, Yu Jingyan strode in.

After he woke up, he went next door to find Qiao Lili, only to find out that he had come to see his future father-in-law.

"Uncle, there's no need to be so polite. Just treat me as you treated A-li." Yu Jingyan originally meant that there was no need to be polite with him and observe the etiquette between a monarch and his subjects, and that he should just treat Qiao Lili as a junior. However, when Qiao Lili heard this, it inexplicably sounded like he was vying for favor.

"A Li, you're awake. Does your wound still hurt?" Yu Jingyan asked as he sat down next to Qiao Lili.

Qiao Lili shook her head. If they hadn't mentioned it again and again, she would have forgotten it.

She wondered how badly she was injured. People came to ask her one by one. Thinking about the layers of wounds on her body that would never heal in that underground cage in her previous life, she suddenly felt her eyes moist. Fortunately, it was not too late now. Those who had given their lives for her in the previous life were still by her side.

"Dad, Grandpa Feng is here too." Qiao Lili thought that Feng Wuzui would not stay in Xiguan City alone, and he must have come with his father. But why didn't she see him?

"He didn't even enter the City Lord's Mansion and went straight to the wounded camp." Qiao Xuan also respected this old man. He didn't have the airs of a miracle doctor at all. He was so obliged and dedicated to treating ordinary soldiers. No one knew how the reputation of her being a hard-to-hire miracle doctor spread.

"He sent people to Xiguan City early in the morning to buy a lot of medicinal materials, saying that he wanted to make a special hemostatic medicine. It's really hard for him at his age." Qiao Xuan thought of the young man who followed him. His face was a little familiar. "What's the name of his little apprentice? He is very smart and helped him a lot."

Qiao Lili burst out laughing: "You are talking about the third child, right? Daddy hasn't been home for a long time, and even the servants at home don't know. I arranged for him to take care of Grandpa Feng. He is not Grandpa Feng's apprentice." Thinking of the reason why Qiao Xuan might mention him, "Dad, does he look familiar to you? His father is Li Gui from your courtyard, and he is a family-born child."

"Li Gui, he really takes after his father. His father is smart." Qiao Xuan and Li Gui are of similar age. They grew up and played together. In the blink of an eye, his children have grown up so much. Qiao Xuan suddenly felt a little sad about the ruthlessness of time.

Qiao Xuan was just about to ask Li Gui who gave birth to his third son. The third son was a family-born child, and his mother must have been a servant in the Duke's Mansion, when he suddenly thought of Wen Xi. He had kept her deep in his memory for many years, forcing himself not to think about her. He didn't dare to think too much about her. If he thought too much, he would just want to let her be.

But these few days he kept thinking about Wen Xi, was it because his daughter came to his side? Even the smallest thing could make her think of his Xi'er.

Qiao Lili noticed that her father looked confused and miserable. Perhaps he was thinking of her mother again. She looked at Yu Jingyan, who received her gaze and said to Qiao Xuan, "Uncle, let's attack Liangguan tonight."
