Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 148
Chapter 148 Is It a Boat Or a Warship
The Third Prince did not even raise his eyelids. The tea in the cup had long since cooled down.
Fourth Master Qiao secretly glanced at Wang Qi and saw that although the latter was similarly terrified, he was much calmer than him.
‘”This time, I’m only here because I’m interested in going around. Shu Prefecture is a treasure trove comparable to Jiangnan. However, the Shu Dao is difficult. I’ve been unable to fulfill my wish. Now that the Shu Dao has been repaired, I don’t have any official duties. I’m going to have a good tour of Shu Prefecture. It’s good that you know about it.”
“Yes, Lord Wang.”
Fourth Master Qiao carefully listened to Wang De’s voice. He was full of Qi and didn’t have a mother’s aura. He shouldn’t be his father-in-law.
Wang De added, “I will stay in Jincheng for a period of time. I have already arranged a place to visit the surrounding scenery.” I don’t want to bring unrest to Jincheng on my own initiative, and I don’t want the officials in the court to catch wind of the situation. Therefore, I don’t want to let any news leak out. “The reason I invited the two of you here is because I don’t want to come into contact with the officials of Jincheng City, causing suspicion and slander. However, my identity is there, so I will have to trouble you two during this period of time.”
“Being able to work for the Third Prince is an honor for the grass-roots people.”
The corner of the Third Prince’s lips curled up, and he was very satisfied with the tactfulness of the two of them.
“May I know if you two have any good places to introduce us?” Since he was here to play, he naturally had to do his best.
This was the opportunity!
Fourth Master Qiao was delighted, “Back to Your Highness, Jincheng is surrounded by mountains. The most beautiful thing is naturally the scenery on the mountains.” The mountains of Jincheng were different from other places. They weren’t high, but they were filled with Zen intent. Both Qingcheng and Emei are the most famous Taoist places in Jincheng, and they are also the best places to cultivate their bodies. “In addition, the peach blossoms of Longquan Mountain have bloomed. It is the time to admire the flowers. The cherry blossoms of Wanxian County are about to bloom in half a month.”
“Cherry blossoms?” The Third Prince seemed to be interested.
Fourth Master Qiao hurriedly said, “It was brought by a Japanese monk. The monk stayed in Wanxian County for more than forty years. Every day, apart from chanting scriptures, he also planted flowers. In a few decades, the Purple Spring Mountain in Wanxian County was filled with cherry blossoms.”
“That’s interesting … I heard that Qiao Family has a boat. It is said to be the best boat in Jincheng.”
“Your Highness,” Fourth Master Qiao said awkwardly, “it’s just an ordinary boat. It’s just more exquisite. How can it be called the best boat in Jincheng? The Wang Clan’s boat is the best.”
Seeing that Wang Qi’s expression was not good, Fourth Master Qiao hurriedly added.
He’s not an idiot.
Not to mention why the Third Prince suddenly had an interest in the boat, even now, the Third Prince still hadn’t made it clear that he was under his command, so he had to curry favor with Wang Qi and didn’t dare to offend anyone.
“The Wang Clan’s boat was forged by the master in the palace, but the boat in Gu Family was forged by the Gao Clan.”
“Third Prince” Fourth Master Qiao knelt down with a thud, trembling.
“What are you doing kneeling for? Get up quickly!” Wang De scolded.
Fourth Master Qiao was even more confused. His legs were soft, his hands were soft, and his entire body was soft.
“Get up.” Winton said.
Fourth Master Qiao struggled for a while before finally supporting Wang Qi’s hand to stand up.
The craftsmen in the palace were formidable, but the people from the Gao Clan were even more formidable!
The Gao Clan is a warship!
At most, the craftsmen in the palace made the boat more exquisite and luxurious, but no matter how famous it was, it was not as famous as the people from the Gao Clan.
No matter how formidable the Wang Clan’s boat was, it was still the’thing ‘in the midst of playing with things, but the boat in Qiao Yunxi’s hand could be used on the battlefield!
Seemingly thinking of something extraordinary, Fourth Master Qiao forcefully pulled his thoughts back.
“I wonder if there is a chance to see Qiao Family boat? Your Highness has always wanted to see the Gao Clan’s craftsmanship. However, the Gao Clan’s shipyard is heavily guarded. Even if Your Highness has no legitimate reason, he cannot enter. Your Highness has always regretted it. One had to know that the reason why the dynasty was able to have this peaceful and prosperous era was that apart from the fact that the border gates were as solid as gold soup, the dynasty’s battle prowess at sea was also superior to that of the heroes of the crowd! The maritime fleet of the dynasty are all Father’s personal soldiers. Only Father can move them. Even this Your Highness is not qualified to do so. So I ‘d like to ask you to take a look at Qiao Family’ s boat. ”
Let alone the Third Prince, Fourth Master Qiao did not have the right to refuse. Even the difference in status made him not even qualified to say “no”.
After returning to Qiao Mansion, Fourth Master Qiao went back to the fourth bedroom first. After an incense stick of time, they arrived at the middle courtyard with Xue Tao.
Sure enough, after dinner, Qiao Yunxi was brought to Old Madam Qiao again. Naturally, Fourth Master Qiao and Xue Tao were together.
The corner of Old Madam Qiao’s eyes twitched.
She couldn’t get along well with this bastard.
Regardless of whether it was suppressing his status or filial piety, this bastard didn’t even have the luxury to enter, yet he could still pester him nonsense and speak his mind!
This matter concerned Qiao Family, Fourth Fang, Brother Yi and San’er. Even if she risked her life, she still wanted to take down Qiao Yunxi!
With this awareness, Old Madame Qiao’s gaze towards Qiao Xi was filled with fighting spirit.
Qiao Yunxi was puzzled.
As soon as she entered, the old witch looked at her like she was beating chicken blood. What was going on?
“Qiao Qiao is here. Come, come to Fourth Aunt.”
Qiao Yunxi knew that Xue Tao was eager to please him.
Qiao Xi sat down beside Xue Tao obediently. She tilted her head and looked at Old Madam Qiao, “Is Grandmother fully recovered?”
Old Madame Qiao blinked her eyes uncomfortably and put on airs.
Mammy Gong hurriedly said, “Thank you, Seventh Young Miss, for your reminder. Old Madame has recovered. Today, the doctor from the manor has come to see you again. Old Madame will be fine after two more days of recuperation.”
“Then I’m relieved. Grandmother, you must take good care of yourself. You are Qiao Family’s ancestor and our calming bones. You can’t have any accidents. Since the manor doctor has already said that, Grandmother should take a good rest. Don’t worry about those troublesome things. There are still Fourth Aunt left and right in the courtyard.”
“Fourth aunt,” Qiao Yunxi looked at Xue Tao, “it’s been a long time.”
Old Madam Qiao and Xue Tao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Don’t worry?
She hadn’t mentioned the boat yet, and Qiao Xi had told her not to worry about it, so how could she open her mouth?
Qiao Yunxi didn’t seem to notice anything wrong with the atmosphere. He took the tea from Huang Qi and took two sips.
Astringent, not as good as juice.
“Qiao Qiao, is everything going well with the Chamber of Commerce?” Mother and first wife can’t be counted on anymore, so Fourth Master Qiao will personally take action.
“Thank you, Fourth Uncle, for your concern. The Chamber of Commerce has been working very quickly. With the assistance of the Vice President, everything has been in order so far.”
‘”That’s good. If there’s anything that Qiao Qiao doesn’t understand, it’s inconvenient to ask Fourth Uncle. You can ask the two Vice-Presidents. Jin Baijin, this child has a good relationship with you and is also very attentive to your affairs. Vice-President Wang Qi is also an old man of the Chamber of Commerce. When President Zhang was still around, he valued Vice-President Wang Qi very much. If you have anything, you can discuss it with Vice-President Wang Qi.”
“Thank you, Fourth Uncle, for your advice.” Qiao Yunxi looked obedient.
“The Awakening Insect is over. The dragon is going to raise its head soon, followed by the Spring Equinox. This is a good time to set foot on the Spring Festival. What are Qiao Qiao’s plans?”
Qiao Yunxi shook his head. “Fourth Uncle also knows that Qiao Qiao’s body has not been well since she was young. Basically, she doesn’t go out. This year, she is also trying her best. She can go out for a walk a little bit. Qiao Qiao is a little hesitant about going out for a walk or something.”
Fourth Master Qiao nodded in understanding.
Although the early spring sun shone brightly in Jincheng City, after all, the spring was chilly. If one was a little careless, they would still catch a chill from the wind.
“In two days, the Earth Temple will hold the Earth Festival. It’s very lively. Let’s go take a look together. This time, bring more people. Besides, there are also officials. There shouldn’t be any problems.”
Although Qiao Yunxi yearned for it, he still felt a lingering fear when he thought of the assassination he had encountered during the porridge. That was why Fourth Master Qiao comforted him.
“Qiao Qiao, you still don’t know, in order to’warm the lifespan ‘of the earth father-in-law, every family gathered money to congratulate the earth god on his birthday, went to the earth temple to burn incense and sacrifice, play gongs and drums, set off firecrackers. However, it was the capital of the government every year, and the purpose was to celebrate. You didn’t have a chance in the past, so you can’t miss it this year. Right … “Thinking of something, Xue Tao said happily,” We can take the boat to the Earth Temple along the Jinjiang River. Speaking of which, your grandmother hasn’t taken your boat yet. ”
“Yeah, that’s the best boat in Jincheng. It’s still my granddaughter’s. I need to broaden my horizons.”
Again for the boat?
Qiao Xi couldn’t figure out their true intentions, and she didn’t want to be remembered all the time, nor did she want to be entangled in these trivial matters. She simply nodded her head, “Since Fourth Uncle suggested that Grandmother also want to travel, then please arrange for Fourth Aunt to do so.”
Although it was somewhat different from Fourth Master Qiao’s initial thoughts, he had at least obtained the boat, didn’t he?
After borrowing the boat from Qiao Yunxi, Xue Tao had someone arrange it. The other bedrooms also began to prepare. After all, they were a family, and Old Madame Qiao was a particular person. Therefore, she had to prepare the trip in advance.
This time, instead of using the money from the public, the few rooms would gather together to have a good time on the Jinjiang River.
On the other side of the Earth Temple, the people from the second room had also contributed money and effort to arrange it.
However, two days before they left, the Wang Clan also joined.
The Wang Clan was already close to Qiao Family, and Wang Qi and Qiao Xingbang worked together at the Chamber of Commerce. Even now, Wang Qi took care of Qiao Yunxi from time to time at the Chamber of Commerce, so the two families traveled together on February 2.
Mammy Shen was directing Maid in the courtyard to move things to prepare for tomorrow’s trip.
Qiao Xi sat on the side and watched Nanny Shen and Nanny Feng arrange things. For the sake of tomorrow’s safety, Nanny Shen even brought Danggui and Wei Nanshui back.
Qiao Xi really wanted to tell Nanny Shen not to work in vain, but seeing Nanny Shen’s fighting spirit, she let her do it.
“Miss, Third Miss and Fifth Miss are here.”
Look, she said there was no need to work.
“Qiao Qiao.”
“Third sister, fifth sister.” Qiao Yunxi received Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai in the courtyard.
“It’s better here,” said Qiao Ningdai with envy, taking a glance around the lanterns in the courtyard. “If you ask me, the entire Silken City belongs to you.”
“Really? Then Fifth Sister Tomorrow, don’t go on a trip. Let’s sit in Qiao Qiao’s courtyard for a while.”
