Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 156
Chapter 156 Fly A Kite
Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai stood at the side reservedly. Maid had already held the kite in her hand.
Qiao Jinwen said something. Qiao Ningdai took the kite from Maid and trotted two steps. Perhaps because she was afraid of her movements, the kite swayed twice under the kite string and landed directly on the ground.
Qiao Yunxi’s gaze naturally fell on Gu Jinzhen.
Gu Jinzhen’s kite had already risen very high. He no longer lifted the kite string, but instead pulled the kite string and let the kite fly in the sky.
The higher the kite flies, the more stable it becomes.
Gu Jinzhen waved at her.
After some thought, Qiao Yunxi walked over.
“Do you want to try?” Gu Jinzhen waved the kite string in his hand.
Qiao Yunxi’s eyes lit up and he nodded.
Truth be told, she has flown kites countless times since she was young, and she has released countless kites, but she has never flown kites up.
In her opinion, flying a kite is really not a technical job. As long as you have a lot of strength, you can bring the kite up when you run and then fly the line. Isn’t the kite going up?
But she did never fly a kite steadily.
Qiao Xi raised her head and looked at the kite flying steadily in the air.
Gu Jinzhen leaned sideways and signaled for Qiao Yunxi to take over the reel in his hand.
Something seems wrong?
After Qiao Xi took it, she naturally stood where Gu Jinzhen had stood earlier.
However, Gu Jinzhen only leaned backwards and did not even move a single step, circling Qiao Xi in his arms.
It’s really circled.
She placed her left hand on Qiao Xi’s and held the reel steadily. She raised her right hand and held the kite rope with Qiao Xi to stabilize the kite’s position in the air.
This was Qiao Xi’s first time manipulating a kite in midair. Novelty surpassed doubt. She did not think that there was anything wrong with it, but the people in the same line were all worried about it.
Zhong Chenglin had already digested Gu Jinzhen’s special treatment of Qiao Yunxi in the past few days, so he didn’t care about his extraordinary actions. After all, he was a reckless man who guarded the border all year round. How many rules could you expect him to have?
Follow your heart.
Isn’t this Gu Jinzhen?
Jin Baijin put his hands on his hips, and before he could reprimand him righteously, Zhong Chenglin took his attention away.
“You know how to cook?”
“No!”
“Hurry up and fly the kite. Otherwise, it will be your first time being taken away.”
“This is your first time!” Jin Baijin roared back valiantly, picked up the kite from the ground, and ran forward.
“Third sister” Qiao Ningdai looked at Qiao Jinwen hesitantly.
This was the perfect time to ignite Qiao Jinwen’s anger.
“What are you standing there for? Do you still expect me to put it up?” Qiao Jinwen shouted at the people beside her.
Two Maid hurriedly imitated Kim Bak-kin’s appearance. One was holding a kite while the other was running with a kite string. Driven by the wind, the kite flew up. However, Maid’s movements in lifting the kite string were very clumsy. After standing still, the kite staggered down.
“Stupid!” Qiao Jinwen rushed over, her back facing everyone, grabbed the kite string, and twisted Little Maid’s arm fiercely.
The maidservant was in pain and instinctively wanted to retreat.
“You still want to hide?” Qiao Jinwen lost her mind angrily.
One or two went against her!
First, Qiao Xi, now, she couldn’t even suppress a maidservant!
She grabbed the maidservant’s arm and lightly clenched her thumb and index finger. She seemed to have no strength, but she clenched the most sensitive soft and flesh.
Maid shouted.
Qiao Jinwen glared fiercely at him.
The maidservant’s arms trembled, tears filling her eyes. She bit her lips tightly, not daring to make a sound.
However, Qiao Jinwen was not satisfied. She pinched the maidservant’s arm several times with her properly manicured fingernails before venting her anger slightly.
“You, keep flying. If you don’t fly the kite, you don’t have to go back to your mansion.”
“Miss …”
The maidservant subconsciously wanted to kneel down. Qiao Jinwen glared at her sharply, “What, do you want everyone to see my harsh maidservant?”
“No, no, miss.”
The two Maid were newly promoted, but the cuckoo did not do a good job. After being sold by Xue Taofa, the Maid below was promoted.
Xue Tao was very strict with Maid, who was beside Qiao Jinwen. After all, she was going to marry her in the future. She would even become her uncle’s housekeeper and Concubine, so she had spent a lot of effort on the cuckoo. Who would have thought that she would be stupid after raising it for so many years?
The second-class maidservant beside Qiao Jinwen sounded decent, but Xue Tao didn’t put in so much effort, so she couldn’t compare her sharp eyebrows with the cuckoo. She was just a mere scrap of cuckoo.
Before Qiao Jinwen could calm down, Qiao Ningdai carried her skirt and chased after her, comforting her, “Third Sister, don’t worry. Actually, it would be better if we lost.”
“Good for what?” Qiao Jinwen had always been competitive, so losing to outsiders was fine. Losing to Qiao Yunxi was something she would never allow.
“Third sister,” Qiao Ningdai whispered, “the one who loses this time will cook, isn’t that right?”
As he spoke, he shot a glance in Gu Jinzhen’s direction.
After Qiao Jinwen returned to her senses, she immediately understood what Qiao Ningdai meant.
Understanding this was one thing, but it didn’t mean that she was willing to do so.
“Third sister, young master gu is just hard to catch, he just want to see if you have him in your heart. Let that idiot Qiao Xi be proud first. The angrier you act, the more you’ll be in front of Young Master Gu … “After concealing yourself, Qiao Ningdai said,” That’s how men are. The more you can’t eat, the more precious you’ll be. Third Sister, what’s your identity? What’s Qiao Xi’s identity? There was no need to be as knowledgeable as her. Besides, Young Master Gu … ”
Qiao Ningdai shook her head disdainfully. “I wonder what he thinks. Who can’t use Qiao Yunxi? Third sister, I think Childe Gu is helping you.”
“Help me?”
‘”That’s right. You and Qiao Xi are not on good terms. Young Master Gu also knows that he is not interested in Qiao Xi now. Qiao Xi is someone who has never seen the world before. When Qiao Xi is tempted, Young Master Gu will hand her over to you. Do you still have a chance to turn her around if you step on her fiercely?”
“Even so, he should have told me.” Apparently, Qiao Jinwen believed this statement.
Qiao Ningdai felt contempt in her heart, but she continued, “Childe Gu has his plan. Third sister, if you are worried, you can find an opportunity to ask him later.”
“Let’s talk about it.”
Qiao Jinwen appeared indifferent on the surface, but she made up her mind that she must ask him clearly later.
Even if Gu Sheng deliberately acted differently to Qiao Yunxi because of her, she would not easily forgive him. She wanted Gu Sheng to know that she was the one who dominated between them.
“Hurry up and fly the kite!” Qiao Jinwen roared at Thrush.
Qiao Yunxi was seriously led by Gu Jinzhen, bit by bit holding the kite string. The kite that was originally still in mid-air gradually climbed up. When it reached the highest point, Qiao Yunxi could only vaguely see a black dot.
Qiao Xi lowered her eyes and saw that there weren’t many threads on the reel, so she stopped releasing the threads.
“Do you find it inconceivable?” The whispers behind him were like a gurgling stream, gently fluctuating.
Qiao Yunxi nodded excitedly and raised his head high. “This is the first time I’ve flown a kite so high.”
Although the two of them stopped moving, Gu Jinzhen still held her in his arms. He carefully avoided her. The two of them were in an ambiguous posture, but they did not come into contact with each other. Even though he couldn’t help it, especially the faint fragrance under the tip of his nose, which made his heart go wild, and every inch of his skin was clamoring with hunger and thirst, he still pretended to be “I’m flying a kite very seriously”.
Looking down at Qiao Xi’s head and her smooth forehead, the smile on her lips became gentler and gentler.
Not surprisingly, Qiao Xi and Jin Baijin naturally won. Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai were willing to admit defeat and brought their maids into the kitchen.
“Qiao Qiao,” Jin Baijin held the teacup in his hand, and the thief leaned in front of Qiao Yunxi. “Do your two cousins really know how to cook?”
You’re not just drugging me, are you?
“I don’t know.” Qiao Yunxi shook his head honestly.
“Jin Baijin twitched his lips.
The daughters of wealthy families would symbolically learn one or two dishes before coming out of the pavilion, but that was all. The cook today was probably the chef from the manor.
“Wait until you’re in a hurry. You can eat now.” Qiao Jinwen purposely tidied up and changed her clothes to make sure that she did not smell of grease before entering the hall.
Behind her were a few Maid ladies, carrying trays and food boxes.
When the food was served, Qiao Jinwen warmly invited everyone to sit down.
Qiao Xi secretly poked at him.
Amazing!
Although there was no lack of ingredients on the manor, in such a short period of time, Qiao Jinwen had made so many … uh, large-scale dishes, Qiao Jinwen had risked everything!
“Time is running out. Ning Dai and I haven’t done much. I don’t know if you like it or not.”
“Miss Qiao’s Third Son, Fifth Young Miss, be careful,” Zhong Chenglin had always been the one to show up for this kind of entertainment. “It’s my honor to have the privilege of tasting the cooking skills of the two young ladies today.”
“Young Master Zhong praises me absurdly,” Qiao Jinwen said shyly. “Sit down and eat.”
Jin Baijin wanted to squeeze towards Qiao Xi again, but unsurprisingly, Zhong Chenglin grabbed his neck and forcefully held him down, then sat down beside him.
On Qiao Yunxi’s left was Gu Jinzhen, on his right was Qiao Ningdai, and on Gu Jinzhen’s left was Qiao Jinwen.
“Young Master Gu, this boiled fish is a specialty of Jincheng. Try it.”
Qiao Jin Wen picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish and brought it to Gu Jin Zhen, but halfway through, she was cut off by the bowl Zhong Cheng Lin extended.
Zhong Chenglin smiled. Although he didn’t say anything, his aura was very cold.
Qiao Jinwen put the fish into his bowl.
She also wanted to serve other dishes to Gu Jinzhen, but she heard Gu Jinzhen say to Qiao Yunxi, “Does Qiao Qiao eat fish?”
“Trouble.”
What trouble?
Naturally, it would be troublesome.
After understanding what Qiao Yunxi meant, Gu Jinzhen picked up a piece of meat from the fish belly. After confirming that there were no fish bones, he put it into Qiao Yunxi’s bowl. After thinking for a while, he picked up another piece of fish meat, carefully picked the bones, and put it into Qiao Yunxi’s bowl.
The entire set of movements was smooth and flowing, and naturally, it was like a peerless set of martial arts that had been passed down for hundreds of generations, without giving anyone any chance to interrupt.
