Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 149
Chapter 149 Hua Niang Who Chartered a Boat
“Oh, you said you were fat, and you’re still breathing?” Qiao Jinwen pinched Qiao Yunxi’s nose and said, “Tomorrow is a big day. It’s rare for grandmother to have the mood to go out for a walk. Your Fifth Sister didn’t follow grandmother to fulfill her filial piety and went to your courtyard to slack off. Grandmother blamed you. Do you bear the burden?”
Qiao Xi smiled and said, “Third sister, fifth sister, are you guys here so late?”
“Third Sister is worried that she won’t be able to sleep tomorrow, so she dragged me to your place.”
‘”Third sister, are you worried about what happened last time? The last incident was unexpected. The assassin was targeting Old Madame Lu. Tomorrow, we will be together with the Wang Clan. It won’t be so … unlucky, right? Besides, after what happened last time, the government sent more people. The land temple must have arranged everything. Third sister only needs to have a good time for two days. ”
Qiao Jinwen nodded. “Qiao Qiao is right, but Third Sister’s heart can’t calm down anymore. Forget it, I don’t want to do such a bad thing anymore. I asked the kitchen to cook supper, let’s eat together.”
“What is it?” Qiao Ningdai rushed over impatiently.
“I know you’re greedy. I asked the kitchen to make brown sugar dumplings. It’s enough for you to eat.”
Maid placed the food box on the stone table. After placing the dishes and chopsticks, Qiao Jinwen personally filled three bowls. After Qiao Ningdai and Qiao Yunxi each carried one bowl, she picked up the last bowl.
The next day.
“Miss” Mammy Shen looked at Qiao Yunxi’s back with disapproval.
Qiao Yunxi sat in front of the bronze mirror, holding the cinnabar pen and rouge on his face. After a long time, he said to Mammy Shen, who had a dark face behind him, “Nanny, how is it?”
Afraid that Mammy Shen wouldn’t be able to see it clearly, she purposely turned around.
Mammy Shen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He tried his best to maintain the killing intent on his face. “Little miss, according to what this old servant said, even with this face, you should get on the boat and let everyone see Qiao’s Third Son’s masterpiece!”
‘”What a waste,” Qiao Yunxi turned around and continued to makeup. “Qiao’s Third Son put in so much effort to make an extra supper so that I wouldn’t go out. If I didn’t let her get what she wanted, she would be very disappointed and unhappy.”
“In order to make Qiao San happy, are you going to do this to yourself?” Nanny Shen deliberately asked.
Qiao Xi smiled flatteringly and said, “Out of sight and out of mind, I don’t want us to go out and have fun by ourselves, Mammy, okay?”
Mammy Shen shook his head helplessly. “Let’s go. Everyone is waiting in the middle courtyard.”
Qiao Xi followed Nanny Shen to the middle courtyard and explained the situation. Xue Tao immediately wanted to call the mansion doctor, but was rejected by Qiao Xi. She said that she had already drunk the medicine and applied the ointment. She couldn’t see the wind for the past two days, so she had to rest in the courtyard.
Old Madame Qiao warned Nanny Shen and Nanny Feng with concern, and then she left with everyone.
Just as the group of people left, Qiao Xi changed into men’s clothes and followed suit.
The pier.
Everyone from Qiao Family and the Wang Clan waited on the dock and saw the Third Prince hurriedly saluting.
The Third Prince raised his hand and said, “All of you, get up. Today, if you don’t tell me your ident. I.ty, everyone will have a good time.”
Qiao Jinwen blushed.
She knew the identity of the person in front of her. This was a chance her father had given her. Of course, Wang Min would also be her competitor.
There was no chance in the past, but now that Wang Min had a chance, how could she let it go?
Thoughts swirled in their minds, but in fact, it was only an instant. The group of people all went to the boat.
In the Qiao Clan, only Old Madam Qiao and the people from the fourth clan knew the true identity of the Third Prince. The people from the other clans only thought that the Third Prince was a big merchant from the capital and had some background. He was the partner the Qiao Clan wished to cooperate with.
As for the Wang Clan, the Wang Clan had already split up, so it was not as complicated as Qiao Family.
Qiao Jinwen specially dressed up today. She was wearing a tulle dress that was popular in the capital. She was originally delicate and elegant. She did not pursue dignified and gorgeous attire. Anyway, if she was young and the colors matched properly, she would still be able to set her off as charming and charming. Along with her shy smile that she had practiced countless times, Qiao Jinwen revealed all her advantages.
As the person who understood her best, Qiao Ningdai naturally discovered her abnormality today. Although she felt strange in her heart, she did not take it to heart.
This Young Master Huang looked extremely expensive, but he was only a merchant. However, because he was a merchant from the capital, he was able to act more arrogantly than the merchants in Jincheng. In front of them, he was arrogant. Perhaps he was nothing in the capital.
Everyone on the boat had their own thoughts.
Because today’s goal was to step on the green, and because of the special terrain of the boat, the men and women were not separated. Everyone sat together, chatting and laughing.
After getting the Third Prince, Fourth Master Qiao and Wang Qi’s attitude towards the Third Prince was a little more carefree, and the atmosphere was surprisingly good.
“Bang!”
The hull of the ship shook violently after a violent collision.
“What’s going on!”
Wang De roared angrily. The guards surrounded the Third Prince and protected him. Gu Jinxuan stood at the front with his men.
“Master” The Qiao Family members came in trembling and reported, “Our boat was hit by Young Master Zhong’s boat. Young Master Zhong wants to bring someone to apologize.”
“Young Master Zhong? Zhong Chenglin?” Fourth Master Qiao immediately reacted and looked at the Third Prince.
“Zhong Chenglin? I haven’t seen him for a long time.”
The Third Prince’s words did not attract any suspicions. After all, his current identity was a merchant in the capital, and he was in the same circle as Zhong Chenglin. It was normal for him to look up and not look down.
However, when Zhong Chenglin entered, the Third Prince’s eyes narrowed when he saw the person beside him. The corner of Gu Jinxuan’s eyes also twitched.
Gu Jinzhen hurriedly glanced around and could not find the person he was looking for. He was already standing in front of the Third Prince, “Young Master Huang.”
“Childe Gu.”
“Childe Gu?” Fourth Master Qiao was pleasantly surprised. He didn’t expect Gu Sheng to know the Third Prince
It was actually a horse dealer.
Regardless of the background of the Gu Clan, I am able to know the Third Prince …
It’s not simple.
“Young Master Huang, I took the liberty of wanting to play in Jinjiang today, but the boatman didn’t pass the test and crashed into your boat.”
“No problem,” said the Third Prince magnanimously. “It’s rare to meet an old friend from another country. Together?”
Zhong Chenglin rubbed his nose and said, “Thank you for inviting me, Young Master Huang, but what about the girl on my boat?”
“Haha, it’s rare for Young Master Zhong and Childe Gu to be so elegant.”
Not far away, there were quite a few people who could clearly hear the teasing from the other side.
The Third Prince smiled, “Then I won’t interfere with your good deeds.”
Zhong Chenglin cupped his fists and said to the Third Prince, “Young Master Huang, I apologize again for the previous collision. I wonder if I scared everyone. Should I call a doctor?”
“Young Master Zhong is too careful,” said the Third Prince indifferently. “Are you hurt? However, you scared the coquettish guest.”
Zhong Chenglin looked around apologetically and didn’t see Qiao Xi. He handed a strange look to Gu Jinzhen and continued, “I was rash today. I just got some wine from a foreign country. I hope everyone doesn’t dislike it.”
They hurriedly returned to their boat. Hua Niang, who had been caught by accident, was still performing hard. The two of them walked to a corner and said, “I didn’t see Qiao Qiao. Could it be that she didn’t follow them?”
“I sent someone to the Qiao manor to take a look. Qiao Qiao is not here.”
‘”Then where is she? She’s not in the Qiao mansion, nor in the boat. We can’t defend her like this. There’s only a thousand days to be a thief, so how can there be a thousand days to guard against thieves?” She said as she looked at Gu Jinzhen with a strange expression. “Did you do something wrong? Why are you afraid that Qiao Qiao and the Third Prince will meet?”
“The purpose of the third prince to shu zhou, we all know, he entered shu zhou pulled Qiao Family under, what do you think his purpose is? There’s no need to mention the Wang Clan. Following Imperial Noble Consort Cao’s cooperation, the Cao Clan’s shameful silver has been passed through the Wang Clan’s hands. Even if we walk the bright path, we all know where the silver has been secretly moved to. However, we haven’t found any conclusive evidence yet. Shu Prefecture is endowed with unique terrain, easy to defend but difficult to attack, surrounded by mountains on all sides. It is the most suitable place to nurture private soldiers. ”
“You mean …”
“I’m just saying.” Gu Jin Zhen said with a grudge.
Zhong Chenglin laughed angrily, “Young Master Gu, please don’t be shocked. My little heart is pounding.”
Gu Jinzhen glared at him fiercely and his tone suddenly changed, “If you don’t jump, you’re finished. He’s here to find the Shen Clan Army.”
“Just him?” Zhong Chenglin said nonchalantly, “Let alone the Shen Clan Army’s base, how can it be so easy to find? Even if he finds it, what can he do? The Southern Xinjiang depends entirely on the Shen Clan Army. He can move the Shen Clan Army?”
“He really can’t move, but the people in the court don’t think so.”
“You mean … he deliberately made the other princes think that he came to Shu Prefecture to come into contact with the Shen Clan Army?” Aware of the seriousness of the situation, Zhong Chenglin said, “No wonder he brought Gu Er with him. Although Gu Er is at odds with you, he is also a member of the Duke of Ding Manor, and you are the grandson of Duke Zhen Yuan … This relationship is really complicated, but what does it have to do with Qiao Qiao?”
The topic changed again.
Gu Jinzhen looked at him with contempt. “No matter what he does, he needs money. Shu Zhou is a piece of fat meat, or is there no cut of fat meat. Where can I find such a big sweetness?”
If he didn’t divert the topic, then that would be nonsense.
“Then we …”
“Get off the ship.”
“What?”
“Find Qiao Qiao.”
“Then what about Hua Niang who hired a boat?”
…
Qiao Xi, who was being missed by Gu Jinzhen and Zhong Chenglin, was holding a folding fan and following the flow of people, she got off the boat and went to the dock.
“Qiao Qiao, where should we start first?” Jin Baijin asked excitedly, holding the Earth Temple One-day Tour Introduction that Qiao Xi had prepared beforehand.
“Shall we eat along the way?” Qiao Yunxi suggested.
Kim Bak Kim was naturally willing.
Isn’t the most famous place in the Earth Temple a snack street?
When it was time for the party, the folk snacks piled up and walked back and forth along this path without any heavy snacks.
“Miss …” Mammy Shen whispered to Qiao Yunxi. “Someone has gone to our courtyard.”
“What?”
“I don’t know what the other party’s intentions are. He didn’t deliberately conceal it and left after just one spin.”
