Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 120
Chapter 120 It’s Your Turn to Express
Qiao Family.
Qiao Yunxi sat on a rocking chair and took a sip of the honey tea in his hand.
The early spring sun was warm, and it soon felt sleepy when it shone on his body. With his eyes half closed, Qiao Yunxi thought of his next plan.
On the side of the Chamber of Commerce, the list of candidates for president had already been announced. Naturally, she was also among them. This was the most normal result. Without the Sun Clan interfering, Qiao Xingbang, who was the vice president, was naturally the most qualified. If he was not here, it was fine for her daughter to run for him.
As for the other opponents, Qiao Xi thought that the most threatening one was Wang Qi, who was also the vice president, and Wang Min’s father.
Wang Qi and Qiao Xingbang’s influence in the Chamber of Commerce was evenly matched. It had to be said that Old Master Zhang knew the art of balance very well. Half of the power allocated to the two assistants could stimulate ambition and prevent trouble. For so many years, Qiao Xingbang and Wang Qi had always been evenly matched, and their trusted aides had coincidentally split the members of the Chamber of Commerce in half.
The most interesting thing was that the Ma Clan was the Qiao Clan’s right-hand man and the Sun Clan was the Wang Clan’s loyal sweetheart. This was also the confidence Madam Sun had when she threatened Qiao Xi.
As for the other candidates, in Qiao Xi’s opinion, they were just a few. Since they were running in an open election, she naturally needed to get a few more candidates so as to appear grounded.
“Little miss,” Nanny Shen’s words interrupted Qiao Xi’s imagination. “The letter to master and madam has already been sent over. Master and madam are safe and sound over there. Everything they brought back has been put into the Eastern Campus warehouse.”
At this point, Nanny Shen couldn’t help but laugh.
Those things were all local specialties that the master and the young miss had found. They weren’t worth much silver. Old Madam Qiao and the other madams looked so eager and greedy that they lost their identities when they thought about it.
Even a small family that knew a little bit about etiquette, righteousness, and shame wouldn’t lose their composure like this.
However, there was still more to be done.
In front of everyone, the young miss put the items directly into the storeroom of the Eastern Campus.
She saw it clearly.
Old Madame Qiao tried to stop the young miss several times, trying to suppress her with filial piety.
Little Miss pretended to be stupid and stunned, and Old Madame Qiao was not easy to tell. In the end, she was so angry that her face turned purple.
Think about it and you’ll be relieved!
“What happened over there …”
Speaking of business, Nanny Shen’s expression turned cold. “The hole has been dug. Half of the person has already jumped in. This old servant has someone keeping an eye on him, so he won’t miss the big event. This is Danggui’s side …”
“It is indeed troublesome.” Qiao Xi said.
Mammy Shen nodded. “According to this old servant’s temperament, the most direct method is the simplest. But if this is the case …”
“Mm, I’ll think about it again.” Qiao Xi did not make up her mind.
However, before she could choose the best method, Huang Qi came over with a strange expression.
“What is it?” Qiao Yunxi asked casually.
“Young miss, it was Young Master Gu who sent it.”
“Young Master Gu? Who is it?” Qiao Xi did not react for a moment.
“Young miss, it’s Young Master Gu Sheng. He sent someone to deliver the items. Here is the list. Both young miss and third young miss have it, but I don’t know if third young miss has the same items as young miss.”
Black condom?
Which song was this?
Qiao Xi did not think that her relationship with Black Condom was so good that they could give each other gifts.
Huang Qi looked at Qiao Xi hesitantly, “Young miss, these things …”
“We’ve finished counting. Let’s put them away. No, send them all to the matriarch’s courtyard.”
“Young miss” Huang Qi pouted, “These things are worth a lot of money. Why would they be cheap to the people of the Intermediate Court?”
Nanny Shen stared at him. Huang Qi restrained her gaze, but she still muttered unwillingly, “Young miss, this servant just feels that those things are cheaper than anyone else. I can’t let those people in the other bedrooms get cheaper. If young miss feels that she should just put them anywhere and take them out to greet them if she needs them, then why …”
To the matriarch.
Huang Qi didn’t dare to say these words. Wasn’t that encouraging Miss to be unfilial?
Qiao Yunxi laughed and said, “You don’t like to see people in the other rooms.”
“Young miss, this servant is just not used to it. Using the money from our long room, eating the things from the madam’s manor, and being arrogant in front of us, it is as if they have used ours and eaten ours. How much kindness is it to us?”
Although Nanny Shen had taught her to know what to say and what not to say, after being suppressed for so long, the Changfang finally stood up and complained in her heart. Huang Qi simply said it all.
“Alright, I understand. Go and count the items. En, put them in the storeroom of the Eastern Campus. When I’m happy, I’ll reward you with a few gadgets.”
“Thank you, Miss.” Master accepted his suggestion and Astragalus left happily.
At dinner, Old Madame Qiao called everyone to the middle courtyard for the first time.
The people in the courtyards were all present, and they divided into two tables, and had dinner happily. After dinner, the men went about their business, leaving behind a few daughters-in-law and granddaughters.
Qiao Xi happily drank her tea.
This was something that Third Fang respected, something that the old witch liked.
“Qiao Qiao.” Qiao Jinwen was the first to lose control.
Just waiting for you.
Qiao Yunxi looked over.
“Young Master Gu sent you something?” Her teasing gaze was unknown. She thought that she was teasing Qiao Xi and Young Master Gu about some ambiguity.
“Didn’t Third Sister also have one?” Qiao Yunxi asked.
Qiao Jinwen smiled. “Yes, Childe Gu also gave me one. After I had someone count it, I chose a few rare ones and gave them to grandmother.”
At this point, Qiao Jinwen straightened her waist.
Sure enough, Old Madame Qiao, who had been paying attention to this side, immediately said, “San’er is a filial son. Childe Gu’s things were only delivered on the front foot, and she sent all the good things to the Intermediate Court on the back foot. I told her to keep some, but she was still in a hurry with me.”
“Grandmother, you are Jin Wen’s elder. Jin Wen should be filial to you. It’s just a waste to put those things in Jin Wen’s hands. Sending them to grandmother is the best use.”
‘”Third Sister, you have the intention. When you receive a gift from someone else, don’t forget to give it to Grandmother. Honor Grandmother. I just don’t know how often Childe Gu sends something over. If Grandmother can’t take it, what will Third Sister do?”
“Bastard!” Old Madame Qiao could no longer suppress her temper, especially when facing Qiao Yunxi.
This damn girl had the ability to make her furious.
“You have the nerve to arrange your third sister here. Regardless of who sent those things, your third sister immediately thought of me and immediately sent them to me!”
What about you?
Nothing!
Qiao Yunxi nodded seriously. “Grandmother is right. Third Sister is the most filial grandmother. The first thing that comes to mind is Grandmother. Compared to Third Sister, Qiao Qiao’s awareness is still too poor.”
So?
Old Madame Qiao waited for Qiao Yunxi’s words.
“Qiao Qiao also wanted to pick a few things that grandmother could use and send to the middle school, but Qiao Qiao chose those things again and again. She really couldn’t take them out. Fortunately, Third Sister had them, otherwise …”
Otherwise what?
Old Madam Qiao gritted her teeth in hatred.
Qiao Jinwen’s expression was also very ugly.
Qiao Xi thought that she couldn’t take out those things, but she chose a few things that she thought were precious and sent them to the Intermediate Court, which meant that her eyes were lower than Qiao Xi’s?
Haha, how is that possible?
Qiao Yunxi is the country bumpkin who has never seen the world before.
As a result, there was only one explanation-the things that Gu Sheng gave to Qiao Yunxi were simply incomparable to the things that he gave to her, so she was different in Gu Sheng’s eyes.
Gu Sheng gave something to Qiao Yunxi because he was worried that if he only gave it to her, it would not affect her. After all, there was nothing between the two of them. Considering her reputation as a best friend, Gu Sheng chose some defective products and sent them to Qiao Yunxi to hide it.
As for why not Qiao Ningdai?
Qiao Jinwen also thought of a reasonable explanation.
Among the few granddaughters of the Qiao Clan, Qiao Xi was the only one who was useless. Now that there was no elder in the eldest room, Gu Sheng could just casually give them something to be perfunctory. If he chose Qiao Ningdai, it would be a complete waste to look at her in terms of the grade of the gift.
After thinking about this, Qiao Jinwen’s expression became slightly better, but it was still extremely gloomy.
‘”Sly,” Old Madame Qiao reprimanded. “You have a high opinion of things. Of course, you don’t like anything. I’m talking about kindness. What do you mean by kindness? If you have the heart, anything will be delivered to me! Look at your third sister. Even those that you don’t like, your third sister has carefully selected a portion to deliver to me. What about you?”
“So grandmother was angry because Qiao Qiao didn’t deliver anything to the middle school.”
“I, I” Qiao Xi’s soft voice was still beside her ears, but it was like a slap in the face, slapping Old Madam Qiao’s face.
“Qiao Qiao,” Xue Tao, who had been watching from the sidelines, stopped Qiao Yunxi. “Why are you getting more and more uneducated? Fourth Aunt has never taught you to be blind!”
Therefore, it was Gu Jingshu who taught him.
Qiao Xi smiled faintly. “Yes, fourth aunt has always treated Qiao Qiao as her daughter and taught Qiao Qiao a lot. Now that Qiao Qiao is like this, fourth aunt is also the one who taught her well.”
“Joe …”
“Grandmother,” Qiao Yunxi interrupted Xue Tao and looked at Old Madame Qiao. “Since Grandmother doesn’t care about the quality of the things and values her feelings, then Qiao Qiao will go back and carefully pick one and send one to the middle courtyard.”
Although her goal had been achieved, Old Madame Qiao was not happy. The feeling of being a dwarf was very unpleasant.
Especially when she saw the things Qiao Xi had sent over, her face immediately darkened.
It wasn’t that the things Qiao Yunxi gave him weren’t good. On the contrary, what she gave them were all precious medicinal ingredients, and they were all very good for medicinal meals.
However, the ginseng only had half a strand of ginseng whiskers, and it was still broken into several pieces.
Ginkgo, it was covered in black spots of mold, and it looked like it was about to rot due to moisture.
As for the rest, Old Madame Qiao was even angrier when she saw it.
“Scoundrel!” Old Madame Qiao stamped her cane. “What does she mean, hit me in the face!”
