Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 89
Chapter 89 Make a Fool of Oneself
15. Lantern Festival.
What was more lively than lanterns was the newly opened pier of the Gu Clan.
Some of the people who came to unveil the tablet were envious and others were jealous. They had all sorts of thoughts, but none of them dared to provoke them.
The person in charge today was Gu Pingxin. No matter how casual he was, he stood on the stage with a serious expression. His entire body emitted a solemn aura.
This was the aura of the Gu Clan.
There was no need to say anything exciting, as long as the momentum was there.
Qiao Xi was extremely excited as she stood below.
This excitement did not calm down until she returned to Gu Family and saw the person standing respectfully in the courtyard.
“Go and pour me a cup of honey water.” Qiao Yunxi said to Lian Qiao.
Lian Qiao was slightly stunned as she hurriedly ran towards the kitchen.
Qiao Xi glanced at Lian Qiao’s back and said to Astragalus membranaceus and Angelica sinensis who were about to follow, “You guys stay outside.”
Without giving the servants a chance to speak, Qiao Yunxi entered the bedroom, followed by the guests.
“Little miss.” Nanny was respectful, as Qiao Yunxi had seen for the first time.
‘”Mammy, don’t be too courteous. You are an old man who followed my grandmother. Although this is the first time Qiao Qiao has seen you, she respects you very much. It is also because Qiao Qiao’s ability is limited, so grandmother specially sent Mammy over to help. If Qiao Qiao is not considerate or has done something wrong, please let Mammy know.”
Qiao Xi’s attitude was very sincere. First, Mother Shen was the number one person beside Matriarch Gu. Second, she needed Mother Shen’s help in the future.
“Little miss, it’s all up to this old servant to take care of this old lady and help her. Since this young miss is conscious, this old servant naturally has to do everything in his power to help her. This young miss is the young miss of the Gu Clan, so she doesn’t need to look at outsiders, let alone be polished by a few crooked melons and dates.”
So, was this telling her how much she couldn’t stand on the stage before?
The corner of Qiao Xi’s mouth twitched as she went straight to the point, “Nanny, what happened to what I told you earlier?”
“Little miss, we’ve already arranged for everyone. We’ll have news soon. Wei Nanshui is fine for the time being, but Angelica …”
Qiao Yunxi raised his eyebrows and smiled.
She knew there was something wrong with Angelica.
‘”Danggui flies pigeons to deliver letters every three days. During that time, my people also intercepted the message. However, it was full of passwords that could not be deciphered. In order not to alarm the snakes, the intercepted message was sent out again.”
Qiao Yunxi nodded. “Keep an eye on Dang Gui. She won’t make any big moves for the time being. It would be great if she knew who she sent the news to.”
“Little miss, there’s no need to worry. As long as Angelica sinensis takes action, we can follow the vine and touch the melon.”
That’s true.
The most important thing for the Gu Clan to be able to dominate the Chaotian Sect was talent. Moreover, she was still in the territory of the Chaotian Sect and the Gu Clan, so she could be a little arrogant.
After pondering for a few seconds, Qiao Yunxi said, “Let’s do this for now. I’ll think about it again. I’ll discuss any changes with Mammy.”
Shen Mammy exited the bedroom, paused strangely outside the door, and slowly walked out of the courtyard.
She is the nanny beside the matriarch. Before the Gu Clan robbed the dock at Chaotian Gate, they knew each other. At that time, because of the family, she received help from this matriarch from time to time. It was just a few yellowed steamed buns, but she followed the matriarch without hesitation for the rest of her life.
Qiao Xi was right.
She was the first person beside Old Madame, and even her two sons treated her respectfully, let alone the others.
At first, the matriarch did not want to transfer her to the young miss.
She didn’t have much contact with the young miss, but she had watched her grow up and clearly knew what kind of daughter she could bring up with such a soft person.
Moreover, she was well aware of the situation in Qiao’s parents’ room over the years.
When I gave birth to the young miss, Gu Family was making a fortune. The old madam finally got a daughter, so she naturally doted on her. This also made the young miss soft-tempered and not as powerful as the Gu family.
With such a temperament, if Old Madame looked at him, it would be better. Who knew that Miss would marry far away? Wasn’t this sending someone to bully her?
Young miss, if you don’t do well yourself, how much can others help you?
However, she did not expect that the young miss’ temperament would be able to raise such a formidable character as the young miss.
It had to be said that the young miss was very similar to the old madam. No wonder the old madam was so attractive.
Little miss is courageous and decisive. She is sensible enough not to be arrogant and domineering, but she is not soft enough to be bullied.
Mammy Shen was very gratified to see such a young miss. She couldn’t wait to see how the Qiao family would react when the young miss returned to Jincheng.
Qiao Yunxi’s birthday was on the 27th of the first month, and Gu Family had left all the liveliest arrangements on the 27th day.
Qiao Xi was also excited. This was her first birthday after traveling, and she was still at the Gu Clan.
Old Madame Gu meant to do something big, but Gu Jingshu and Qiao Xingbang meant that they could just have a meal together, so there was no need to be so extravagant.
Old Madame Gu was unhappy, but in the end, under Qiao Xi’s jokes, she reluctantly agreed.
Even so, Old Madame Gu still instructed Mrs. Zhang to handle it properly.
This was not within Qiao Xi’s concern. Early in the morning, she followed a few cousins to the matriarch’s courtyard to play cute. The people accompanying her were also the uninvited and inexplicable Jin Baijin.
Speaking of which, this guy was also a weirdo.
When he was twenty years old, he brought a cart full of things and two guards to Gu Family.
Compared to Qiao Yunxi’s impatience, the others were still very happy. It was also a good thing that Qiao Qiao had a few more friends.
Kim Bak-kin had followed Qiao Yunxi and her cousins to the Chao Tian Sect for the past two days, and they looked very familiar.
After getting tired of being around Old Madam Gu for a while, Qiao Xi received a gift from her elders and followed her cousins to the market.
The main purpose of today is to buy and buy.
As a birthday celebrity, Qiao Xi wasn’t worried about the silver.
Fatty Jin excitedly followed Qiao Xi, feeling that everything was good, buying more than Qiao Xi, attracting Qiao Xi’s eyes.
“I said, Jin Yuanbao, did you look at me? Today, I am the main character. What are you jumping around for?”
“These are all good things.” Jin Baijin didn’t even raise his head, staring at the album and picking out the things he liked.
“He’s still the Jin Clan’s Young Master. It’s embarrassing to look like he hasn’t seen the world before.”
“It’s better to be embarrassed than to lose money,” Jin Baijin said nonchalantly. “Qiao Qiao, you don’t even know how expensive the gold price in Jincheng is now. Once these things are sold, I can immediately earn 20%!”
“Prosperity.” Qiao Yunxi curled his lips in disgust.
“Qiao Qiao, this is how business works. Buy low and sell high. Otherwise, where would the profit come from?”
“So, what do you miss me for? Did you come to compensate me for the New Year? Is it all fake?” Qiao Yunxi asked deliberately.
“I think you’re real. It’s just an incidental purchase.”
Qiao Yunxi sneered. “I think you’re here to curry favor with my grandfather.”
“Qiao Qiao, I’m very sad that you said that to me.” Fatty Jin covered his chest and looked at Qiao Yunxi sadly. “I’m your friend. It has nothing to do with whose daughter you are or whose granddaughter you are. I’m sincere.”
“Come on,” Qiao Xi looked at Jin Baijin with her gaze of “I’ve already seen through you”. “Tell me, why did you suddenly come to Yuzhou?”
Jin Bai’s golden face collapsed, “What else can I do? I just need to come out and get some air.”
‘”Are you angry?” Qiao Xi rubbed her chin and poked her heart. “You’re the only treasure in the Jin Family. Who dares to make you angry?”
“Let’s not talk about that anymore,” Jin Baijin waved his hand irritably and changed the topic. “Qiao Qiao, you don’t know that the Qiao family has been in a mess since you left.”
“Really? What did the old witch do?” Qiao Xi did not conceal her conflict with Old Madam Qiao at all.
Kim Bai Jin looked left and right and pulled Qiao Yunxi and her three cousins to the side. “Didn’t Gu Sheng give Qiao’s Third Son a set of noodles? Qiao’s Third Son gave it to Old Madam Qiao. Qiao’s Third Son was really willing to part with the red coral’s head.”
Seeing that Qiao Yunxi did not understand, Kim Bak-kin explained, “Corals are rare in the dynasty. Not to mention red corals, even ordinary corals are rare. In the dynasty, only the Empress Dowager in the palace has a red coral head and will wear it on very important days.” “The set of red corals that Gu Sheng gave to Qiao’s Third Son is on par with the one in the palace. Only Old Madam Qiao is qualified to wear it in the Qiao mansion.”
“That means that Gu Sheng was originally going to give it to Old hag. However, he has no friendship with Old hag, so he can only take a detour. Alright, fatty, let’s get to the point.” Qiao Yunxi was getting impatient.
Jin Baijin continued, “Old Madame Qiao thinks that this is an olive branch handed over by the Marquis’s Manor and a hint to the Qiao Manor. Therefore, during the New Year, she specially handed over the invitation to the Marquis’s Manor. However, the Marquis’s Manor did not respond, and the Old Madame made it boring.”
“Is there anything new about what you expected?” Gu Pingqing asked.
Jin Baijin was pleased, “But, the old witch had already let go of her big words. All the important people in your Qiao Family came, but they were rejected by the Marquis Manor, and the old witch lost all face.”
Unknowingly, Jin Baijin addressed Old Madam Qiao as Qiao Xi.
“You know everything about my family very well.” Qiao Xi looked at Jin Baijin with vigilance.
First Ma Dongyi, now Fatty Jin, how many pairs of eyes were staring at Qiao Family?
Jin Baijin chuckled, “Qiao Qiao, as you know, Jincheng is so big, and Qiao Family is an important figure in the circle. Naturally, there will be more attention outside.” Actually, it’s not our gossip. It’s just that Old hag is too high-profile. Now that he’s been slapped in the face, it’s naturally more lively to watch jokes. Your Qiao Family Clan’s Clan Chief left with great popularity. On the third day of the New Year, Old hag didn’t even go back to eat. ”
“From the looks of it, I’m very angry.” Qiao Xi gloated and snorted, “Where did the old witch get the confidence to think that it was a hint from the Marquis Manor to the Qiao Family?”
“Actually, I somewhat understand the old witch’s thoughts.”
