Chapter 38 The Real Big Joe and Little Joe

With the help of local snakes, efficiency is much more efficient than collisions with headless flies alone.

The next morning, Li Qingyuan just got up from the hotel and saw that the servant beside Zhou Yu was already waiting for him outside.

After hearing the news brought by the servant, he gave the other party five taels of silver and asked him to tell him, saying thank you!

For some reason, Zhou Yu, who was preparing to write a letter to Sun Ce, suddenly felt a little restless when he heard the servant’s return, as if something strange happened.

But this feeling disappeared instantly, so he didn't care.

After all, for Zhou Yu, the person he met yesterday was certainly interesting, but at most he was just an interesting passerby. Helping a little help is not only harmless, but also reflects his own demeanor, and he doesn't have to take it seriously at all.

Let’s not mention Zhou Yu’s incident for the time being, just saying that Li Qingyuan got the news and rode his horse towards Wan County.

It turns out that according to the household registration records in the prefect's mansion, Qiao Shun, the surname of Lujiang County, had a pair of twin sisters at home. Only Qiao Shuo, who lives in Wan County, could not find him in the county town anyway.

The distance between Lujiang County and Wan County is 500 miles. If Zhou Yu had not had the privilege of accessing the household registration information in Juncheng at will, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find the other party by himself.

It was almost night when Li Qingyuan arrived in Wan County, so he planned to find an inn to rest first and go looking for Qiao Shuo tomorrow morning.

But when he asked the waiter to serve the food, he was shocked to find that the waiter in the inn looked a little wrong!

"How old are you this year? What's your name?"

Looking at the little girl holding the vegetable bowl, Li Qingyuan asked in surprise.

It’s a bit inappropriate for a little girl, because this little girl looks only teenage at most, and it’s almost the same as a big loli.

"Customer, please use it slowly!"

The little girl's face turned red when she was asked this. She quickly put the dish in her hand on the table, and then ran away as if she was flying.

Looking at the little girl's expression that looked like she saw the big bad wolf, Li Qingyuan touched her chin helplessly.

Is it because I have been sleeping in the open for a while and I have not taken care of it, which makes me look a little fierce?

The atmosphere of the Han and Tang dynasties was relatively open, and women were not restricted from going out. It was not uncommon for women to work in places like restaurants and inns.

But generally speaking, even if you use women to work, they are all mature women, because sometimes they can do some romantic business.

But like the young girl who was just old, it was impossible to come out to work, right?

Or is the owner of this restaurant using illegal child labor?

But after thinking about it, he started to laugh.

In his teens, he was indeed just a child in his later generations, but in this era he could be considered half an adult.

I am not a novice time traveler, so how can I still make such common sense mistakes?

So when the little girl came to serve the food again, he took out a little bit of silver.

"Little girl, ask you something!"

"What do you want to ask when you're a guest?"

Seeing the broken silver in his hand, the little girl's eyes widened and her little head kept shaking back and forth with his fingers.

"Is there anyone named Qiao Shuo in the county?"

Li Qingyuan threw the broken silver to the little girl and asked.

"Customer, have something to do with my father?"

The little girl hid the silver in her pocket happily, then raised her head and blinked her big eyes and asked.

"Your father?"

Li Qingyuan was a little confused, and then he began to look at the little girl in front of him.

It is true that the other party's body has not yet grown due to age problems, and the plain long gown on her body has become very worn due to years of washing. However, if you look closely between your eyebrows and eyes, you can still see that she is definitely a beauty.

As the saying goes, three points are destined to be seven points by makeup. No matter how beautiful a woman is, she will get stuck in a safety helmet and will have a layer of dust on her face without makeup. She will not be able to see it anyway.

"Your name is Da Qiao?"

"No, the one I just now was my sister Da Qiao, my name is Xiao Qiao!"

Perhaps it was because I had received a tip that I could earn for half a year on weekdays, the little girl replied happily.

Well, no wonder I feel like this little girl’s personality has changed suddenly. It turns out that the one who blushed and ran away just now was Da Qiao!

Compared to Da Qiao's personality, Xiao Qiao is obviously much more lively.

Of course, I think I know that I gave enough tips. One or two pieces of silver were worth at least 8,000 yuan in later generations. If you continue to give so many tips, no matter the waiter, you will be treated as a good person.

"This inn was run by your father? Why do you sisters and sisters come out to work?"

Li Qingyuan felt a little strange. Although it is a good tradition to let half of the children in the family be responsible for their work, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are almost in their teens. It is still a bit inappropriate for a girl of this age to show up in a hotel and inn.

"My father is so desperate to save money, and he has spent all his savings when opening this inn. My sister and I have to be caught by him to take the blame!"

Xiao Qiao's mouth was slightly raised, and she was obviously quite dissatisfied with her father.

After chatting with Xiao Qiao, Li Qingyuan finally figured out the whole story.

Xiao Qiao's family came back to Lujiang seven years ago. In the past, their family lived in Luoyang, the capital.

Qiao Shuo used to be a follower in the former Grand Marshal Qiao Xuan's mansion, which is also the reason why later generations rumored that Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were Qiao Xuan's daughter.

However, Qiao Xuan died of illness seven years ago. As a leader, Qiao Shuo could not stay in a place like Luoyang, so he had to return to his hometown Lujiang with the savings he had saved over the years to prepare for a small business to support his family.

But although Qiao Xuan can barely be regarded as a famous official in the Eastern Han Dynasty and a grand funeral after his death, what does this have to do with him, Qiao Shuo, just a Changsui?

Qiao Shuo has money to open a restaurant in Wan County, so he has already given all his money. After all, even if you show the gate to the chief, do you think you are the chief?

This is also the reason why Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao did not leave their names in various historical books!

Because neither Sun Ce nor Zhou Yu were married by the media, they were directly taken back to be concubines.

Moreover, according to historical records, Sun Ce had just emerged from Yuan Shu's command at that time, and then defeated Lujiang County as a base. He heard that there were a pair of stunning twins in Lujiang called Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, so he took his sister Da Qiao away and then gave his sister Xiao Qiao to Zhou Yu.

In the future, the beautification and processing are constantly being done, making people think that Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are the original wife of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, but in fact, they are just spoils!
