Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 62
Chapter 62 Hurry Up and Take It off
Even her mother had said that Qiao Xi’s relationship with Gu Jingshu was still so estranged.
From this alone, it could be seen that Qiao Xi was still attached to Fourth Fang.
This was enough.
As expected, Qiao Xi did not disappoint Qiao Jinwen. “Even if Third Sister didn’t say anything, I still wanted to call Third Sister and Fifth Sister together. Third Sister also knows that I can’t handle these matters properly. I don’t want to go to congee making or anything, but Fourth Aunt said that this is a post from Marquis Zhenyuan’s mansion. Old Madame Lu specifically asked me to go. If I don’t go, I will be disrespectful to Marquis Zhenyuan and Old Lady Lu. ”
“Qiao Qiao, there’s no need to worry. Grandmother and my mother will arrange this. Just follow me when the time comes.” Qiao Jinwen became the focus of the three of them, while Qiao Xi became their follower.
Laba.
Qiao Xi was pulled out of bed by Forsyth early in the morning.
When Huang Qi came in with the copper basin, Qiao Xi was still dazed and allowed Lian Qiao to put her clothes on her body one by one.
Huang Qi hurriedly came over to lend a hand and said, “Miss, Madam is ready.”
Qiao Xi subconsciously nodded her head, “Yes, I know. I’ll go over as soon as I’m done packing.”
When Qiao Yunxi arrived at Gu Jingshu’s place, Qiao Xingbang and Gu Jingshu were both waiting.
Compared to the nervousness of the Qiao Clan, the two of them were obviously much more casual.
They had never thought of using Qiao Xi to climb to the Marquis of Zhen Yuan.
With different thoughts, their mentalities were naturally different.
“Qiao Qiao, do you really not need your mother to accompany you?” Gu Jingshu was still worried.
Although Old Madame Lu did not invite her, Gu Jingshu could set up a porridge shed in the name of Qiao Family’s house and take care of Qiao Xi closely.
Qiao Xi’s greasy little mouth was trying her best to chew on the fried dough sticks. “No need, Mother, I’ll just bring Forsythia, Astragalus membranaceus and Nanshui.”
“Bring Danggui with you.” Qiao Xingbang added.
Qiao Yunxi declined to comment.
So far, returning has been considered “loyal”.
‘”Once you arrive at the Earth Temple, you can help Old Madame Lu distribute the porridge. Let Lian Qiao and Huang Qi do the rest.” Although she had said this countless times, Gu Jingshu was still worried and instructed, “Dang Gui, Wei Nan, you two stay by Miss’s side and can’t leave.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
As they spoke, Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai came.
Actually, they didn’t need to make this trip, they just waited for Qiao Yunxi’s carriage to enter the city, and then they could meet up at the Earth Temple. But Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai were good sisters, so they naturally had to take care of their sisters, so they took a detour.
Qiao Xingbang’s expression dimmed a little.
He felt a chill run down his spine towards his two nieces.
“Big uncle, big uncle mother.” Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai greeted each other obediently as soon as they entered the room.
Today, the two of them had specially dressed up and appeared to be very cautious.
Qiao Jinwen was dressed in a very grounded manner. She did not pretend to be an immortal at all. Her green jacket was suitable for her age and was also very formal.
Qiao Ningdai wore a yellow jacket and stood with Qiao Jinwen, making them look very lively.
Both of them were very clean and did not make any random accessories.
After packing up, Qiao Xingbang and Gu Jingshu watched as they boarded the carriage.
In order to show their respect for Old Madame Lu, the three of them arrived at the Earth Temple early.
The Earth Temple is very lively today, because the porridge shed of every big family is here. Along the way, there are actually seven or eight of them. If you have the patience to line up one round at a time, your stomach will burst.
Because these people were either rich or noble, the government specially sent people to maintain order. In addition to their own guards, maids, and wives, the entire street was packed with people.
“Qiao Qiao!” With sharp eyes, Xue Tao and the others got out of the carriage and she came over.
“Fourth aunt.” Qiao Xi greeted Xue Tao’s extraordinary intimacy.
“Mother.” Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai also came over.
Xue Tao looked at the children with satisfaction, “Fourth Aunt is waiting for you here. Qiao Qiao, the porridge shed of Qiao Family is over there …”
He glanced in the direction of Xue Tao’s finger.
The Qiao Clan’s porridge shed was ready, and there was a queue in front of them, waiting for the porridge collectors.
The porridge shed next to the Qiao Family was also filled with people. It was unknown which merchant it belonged to, but the servant maintained order at the side.
“If there’s anything else, you can ask someone to come over and tell me. Qiao Qiao, follow your third sister and fifth sister well today. Don’t run around.”
As expected, it was mother and daughter, and even the same words were spoken.
“Fourth aunt, don’t worry, I’ve already remembered everything.”
Xue Tao looked at Qiao Yunxi and said, “Qiao Qiao, what are you wearing today …”
“But it’s inappropriate?” Qiao Yunxi asked.
Xue Tao frowned. “Today, we are here to serve porridge. You wear such a precious lamb fat jade. I don’t know, but I thought you were here to show off. Qiao Qiao, Old Madame Lu invited you here. Your actions will have a bad impact on Old Madame Lu.”
“Is that so?” Qiao Yunxi lowered her head and took a look. The lanolin jade bracelet on her wrist was gifted by her grandmother. It had been placed in the small warehouse. When Qian’er Gu Jingshu was tidying up the warehouse, she took it out and asked her to wear it.
The five-colored wreath on his neck was made of colorful jade that his uncle had specially found from outside. It was like a peacock’s feather pattern, with tassels embellished in the middle. It was exaggeratedly large and hung around his neck, occupying a piece of his chest.
However, she was still young, so she felt happy and playful to wear it like this.
Just these two ornaments, be it handicrafts or materials, were all exquisite and precious. Xue Tao’s eyes turned red after just a glance.
Although Gu Jingshu’s body was not good, her mother’s family was confident. Not to mention the dowry and dowry shop, the annual New Year gift from the Gu family was the first in Shu Prefecture, and they obtained a lot of benefits from it.
Not to mention anything else, this jade wreath was worth at least a few thousand taels of silver. Such a good thing should only belong to Qiao Jinwen.
Qiao Qiao said in a caring tone, “You, it’s fine if you’re young and ignorant. Sister-in-law …” Qiao Qiao, if you dress like this, others will only say that Old Madame Lu is wrong. Hurry up and take off the bracelet and wreath. ”
In order to prove her words, Xue Tao circled around in front of Qiao Yunxi.
Xue Tao’s outfit was also very simple and elegant. Other than a jade hairpin, she didn’t have any extra accessories on her body.
Looking at the others, he didn’t know if they had made an appointment or what. They were all dressed very plainly.
‘”There are many people today. It’s not good to leave these things unattended. You don’t have many people with you, and fourth aunt can’t leave either. How about this, Qiao Qiao, take off the bracelet and the wreath and let your third sister wear it, so that no one will touch it.” Xue Tao was still worried about Qiao Yunxi.
Qiao Yunxi’s expression slightly loosened.
“You must be following Old Madame Lu today. No one will pay attention to your third sister. Even if she is not dressed properly and Old Madame Lu is dissatisfied, she will not vent her anger on you.”
Apart from what he said, it was all for Qiao Xi’s sake.
Qiao Yunxi looked at Qiao Jinwen hesitantly.
Qiao Jinwen smiled slightly. “Qiao Qiao, you don’t have to worry. Third Sister is fine. Today, you are the main character. Third Sister will follow you and help you fight.”
Qiao Yunxi chuckled.
When she wanted her bracelet and wreath, she was the main character.
With a bitter face, Qiao Yunxi said to Xue Tao and Qiao Jinwen, “I understand the good intentions of Fourth Aunt and Third Sister, but I don’t want to implicate Third Sister because of my own fault.”
“Qiao Qiao …”
Qiao Jinwen wanted to say something else, but she saw the carriage in the Duke’s Mansion of Zhen Yuan with her sharp eyes, so she could only shut her mouth resentfully.
.
“Qiao Qiao?” Madam Lu was surprised when she saw Qiao Yunxi for the first time.
It had only been a few days since I last saw this child, but the changes in this child were so obvious.
Unlike the previous times, Qiao Yunxi’s eyes became clearer today. Even though there was no unnecessary expression on her face, it gave off a much more optimistic feeling. Without that gloomy aura and proper attire, Madam Lu liked it more and more.
Therefore, it was better to say that she was still a daughter.
Just this bright and beautiful appearance was pleasing to the eye.
“Old Madame Lu.” The three of them greeted each other according to the rules.
Madam Lu nodded slightly and waved at Qiao Yunxi.
Qiao Jin Wen bit her lips and followed, “Old Madam, I am Qiao Qiao’s third sister, the daughter of the Qiao Family’s fourth wife. I came with Qiao Qiao.”
Madam Lu didn’t even sweep a single ray of light over.
Only then did Qiao Yunxi recall the people around him and hurriedly explained, “Old Madame, grandmother was worried that Qiao Qiao would be rash, so she asked Third Sister and Fifth Sister to come as well.”
“Since you’re here, come over.”
Just as they entered the porridge shed, Gu Jinzhen arrived with Tang Yuan.
Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai were a little surprised. They knew that Gu Sheng and Marquis Zhen Yuan had a friendship, but they didn’t expect that Old Madame Lu would specially invite him.
“Young Master Gu.” Qiao Ningdai took the initiative to say hello.
Gu Jinzhen looked at Qiao Jinwen and said, “Third Miss Qiao.”
Qiao Jinwen proudly curled her lips, “Young Master Gu.”
Qiao Xi curled her lips. For Qiao Jinwen’s sake, this fellow didn’t hesitate to play tricks on her. It was enough.
Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai had only seen Gu Sheng who was “open and honest” and did not wrap himself under his cloak, appearing as a horse merchant.
The black condom under the cloak was Marquis Zhen Yuan’s grandson. His identity was unknown, but it should be very noble. What was his name again?
Qiao Yunxi shook his head, expressing that he didn’t care.
Most importantly, Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai didn’t know the identity of the black condom under the cloak. Otherwise, with Fang 2 and Fang 4’s utilitarianism, Qiao’s Third Son and Qiao 5 would have already pounced on it.
Thinking of this, Qiao Yunxi felt a little strange.
The black condom was obviously interested in Qiao Jinwen, so why didn’t he directly state his identity, and the rest of the matter would naturally come to an end.
Qiao Xi shook her head and greeted Gu Jinzhen’s gaze.
Mrs. Lu quietly observed the interaction between the children.
She saw Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai’s utilitarianism. She also saw Gu Jinzhen’s concern for Qiao Jinwen, but …
Madam Lu laughed secretly.
Perhaps even Gu Jinzhen did not notice that his gaze had stayed on Qiao Qiao for more time than Qiao San’s.
There were two groups of people in front of the porridge shed of the Duke’s Mansion of Zhen Yuan. One was a group of homeless men and beggars, and the other was a group of ordinary people with average family background.
Today’s porridge presentation was not only a good deed, it was also an activity, so the scope was wide. Anyone could come and get the porridge.
