Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 92
Chapter 92 They’re All Peeking
‘”That’s right,” Qiao Yunxi nodded seriously. “Qiao Qiao had also asked Master Shizi before. These backyards all had specifications. Master Shizi also said that grandmother was a very strict person, so she wouldn’t break the rules, nor would she shallowly greed for her daughter-in-law’s things.” Mother realized her mistake and made this decision. This year, my grandmother taught Qiao Qiao a lot in the Outer Ancestor Clan. Only then did Qiao Qiao understand that her mother’s behavior before was very inappropriate. If Third Aunt thinks that the New Year gift from Qiao Qiao’s Outer Ancestor Clan is not in keeping with the rules, then please write a list and explain the specifications. In the future, our rooms will follow the specifications set by our grandmother. ”
With the standards, everyone followed them. In any case, Gu Family was rich, so he was afraid that his aunts’ mother’s family would not be able to afford it.
Even if she could afford it, the old witch would still have no face to speak out!
In any case, the Qiao Clan’s rooms were treated equally. The long rooms did not specialize, and they would no longer be wronged.
“Qiao Qiao went back to Chaotian Sect for a month and learned a lot.” Gan Wan’s words were unclear, and the sarcasm was simply not too obvious.
“Yes, Qiao Qiao learned a lot from her grandmother this time, and she benefited a lot.”
‘”Alright,” said Old hag uneasily. “Fourth daughter-in-law, tidy up your things and register them in the warehouse.”
This was not going to be distributed to the other bedrooms.
Everyone was disappointed.
One had to know that the New Year gift given by Gu Family was a good item. Even though there weren’t many gifts this year, there wasn’t a lack of high-quality items.
“Alright, all of you have worked hard along the way. Let’s go back and rest first.”
Out of sight and out of mind, Old Mistress Qiao waved her hand and everyone returned to their respective courtyards.
The Eastern Campus had already been repaired, and there weren’t many changes. There were a few stalks of chimonanthus, and they were blooming beautifully.
The biggest change was in the East courtyard.
The moment he returned to the courtyard, Qiao Yunxi was stunned.
The east courtyard was divided into two. The front courtyard imitated the Jiangnan Garden and made a miniature version of the small bridge. It was said that it had been transplanted from Qiao Xingbang for nearly a thousand silver taels. Under the hundred-year-old ginkgo tree, a study was built.
Although it looked simple, it was a study built from bamboo, but there was a lot of universe in it.
All sorts of exquisite furnishings, some of the paintings on the wall were at the master level, some of them were at the antique level.
Qiao Xi’s forehead twitched. The pressure was too great.
The backyard was Qiao Yunxi’s bedroom. There weren’t many changes, but there were a few more pots of rare flowers.
“Qiao Qiao, if there’s anything you need to change, just tell Father.” Qiao Xingbang was also very satisfied with the changes in the East courtyard.
“There’s nothing to change. Father, Qiao Qiao is very satisfied.”
Qiao Xingbang was very gratified by her daughter’s sensibility and thoughtfulness. “Then Qiao Qiao, pack up first. If there’s anything else, we’ll talk about it later.”
Qiao Xi didn’t have much to tidy up. Mammy Feng quickly arranged for her to secretly glance at Mammy Shen beside Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi was clear about Nanny Feng’s thoughts.
After returning from Chaotian Gate this time, she brought back quite a few people. Apart from the Mammy Shen family, there were also a few other families that borrowed from Old Madame Gu. Of course, Eldest Uncle also sent a few people to prepare for the future development of the shop.
These people were all arranged in Gu Jingshu’s manor. After she had thought of a plan, she would distribute the manpower.
However, Nanny Shen had always been by her side.
Because Nanny Shen didn’t arrange any work for her, and Nanny Shen was the number one person beside Old Madam Gu, Nanny Feng felt a sense of crisis.
In the beginning, Nanny Feng had always been ahead of Nanny Shen in everything, and she was very keen to compete for favor.
As Qiao Yunxi’s wet nurse, Mammy Feng was very self-aware.
She didn’t have much ability, so she couldn’t help Miss. If it weren’t for her duty these past few years, the Changfang wouldn’t have left her behind.
She was not someone from the Old Madame, nor was she someone beside the First Madame. She could occupy a seat in the East courtyard, and it was also because Young Miss did not intend to manage the courtyard that allowed her to have the time to command the maids in the courtyard as a “wet nurse”.
Speaking of which, she entered the long room as a nurse because she was chosen when the old madam went to look for a nurse according to the rules before the doctor gave birth to a young miss.
At that time, the Changfang was still in the hands of the Old Madame. The Old Madame disdained to control the young miss from the nurse, so her identity in the Changfang had always been very awkward. Neutrality, of course, has its advantages. However, now that Madam and Miss had stood up, if she did not express her stance, she would be abandoned.
Therefore, she was anxious to show off during this period of time. Fortunately, the young miss did not show any disgust.
Of course, Qiao Xi knew what Nanny Feng was thinking. Anyway, she wasn’t very good at the backyard. She was also happy that someone was willing to help. As for Nanny Feng’s loyalty, Qiao Xi wasn’t worried. Smart people all knew how to choose.
“Forsythia, bring me the book from my warehouse.”
Lian Qiao hurriedly flipped through the booklet and handed it to Qiao Yunxi with both hands.
Qiao Yunxi glanced at Lian Qiao.
During this period of time, Lian Qiao had been keeping a low profile until, as the eldest maidservant beside her, she actually didn’t have any sense of existence.
Qiao Xi knew what Lian Qiao was planning.
She understood what Lian Qiao was thinking. At the very least, Lian Qiao had not betrayed her during the most difficult time of Qiao Xi’s true self. When she had just taken over the nest, Lian Qiao had taken care of her. Even if she had two hearts now, she had not done anything wrong to her before she completely left the long house. She had done nothing wrong to the long house.
She wanted to keep one last bit of sentiment.
The more Qiao Yunxi looked at the things recorded in the booklet, the angrier he became.
These past few years, the things that Fang took from the Eastern Campus had been worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. This Qiao Yunxi was truly willing to give up. Fortunately, most of these items were famous paintings and antiques, and the people in the rooms used them to decorate the door.
In that case, it would be easy to handle.
It’s easier to get the things back than to get the money back.
“Miss, Miss and Young Master from the fourth room are here.”
Qiao Xi raised her eyes in surprise and immediately realized.
Previously, in the middle courtyard, she had done the old witch a favor. Qiao Jinwen had brought people here to ask about her guilt.
The few of them arrived at the study room in the front yard of the East courtyard.
This was the first time Qiao Jinwen and the others had come after renovating the East courtyard. They didn’t expect the East courtyard to be divided into a front courtyard and a rear courtyard. They didn’t even have the qualifications to go to the back courtyard, so they could only wait for Qiao Yunxi in the study room.
“San’er, don’t forget the purpose of our visit.” Seeing that Qiao Jinwen’s expression was not good, Qiao Yi reminded.
Qiao Jinwen remained silent.
If it wasn’t for Qiao Xi and Changfang being useful, she wouldn’t have endured it so much.
“Second Brother, Third Sister” Qiao Xi greeted the unwanted person as soon as she entered the door. Her gaze swept over the unwanted person, and for a while, her memories of her true self did not come online, forgetting about that person’s ranking.
Qiao Qing smiled warmly and said to Qiao Yunxi, “Qiao Qiao, long time no see.”
“Sixth brother.” Finally remembering this person, Qiao Yunxi nodded at Qiao Qing.
Qiao Qing was surprised for a moment.
Qiao Yunxi didn’t really care.
This Qiao Qing didn’t have any sense of existence in Fourth Fang. Previously, she had been obedient to Xue Tao and Qiao’s Third Son, so how could she have a good expression towards Fourth Fang’s concubine?
Besides, Qiao Qing’s concubine mother was only a gift from a friend in Qiao Xingye’s business, and her status was not high. In order to show her magnanimity, Xue Tao reluctantly stayed behind. And this Concubine Mei was a stupid and inarticulate person. Xue Tao was easy to handle, otherwise, she would not have stayed in the fourth bedroom.
However …
Qiao Yunxi laughed evilly.
If he was really stupid and stupid, he wouldn’t have given birth to a son in front of Xue Tao.
There were a few people who could live in the backyard that were simple.
No matter how angry Xue Tao was, she could only raise Qiao Qing.
However …
Qiao Xi tilted her head and looked at the people in the fourth room.
Previously, Qiao Qing was not in Qiao Family. It was said that he was doing business with the clansmen outside. As for what kind of business it was, Qiao Yunxi did not know. It seemed that Qiao Xingye had asked him to practice.
Qiao Xingye’s meaning was very clear.
The two brothers supported each other as their direct sons went into the official career and the concubines went into business.
If the two brothers really loved each other, then Qiao Xingye’s arrangement would definitely be the best, but …
Qiao Yunxi shook his head.
Fourth Fang, it’s not as calm as it looks on the surface.
“Qiao Qiao, are you still used to it in the Outer Ancestor Clan Qiao Jinwen still looked like a good sister.
Qiao Xi’s face was filled with excitement. “I’m still used to it. Third sister, Qiao Qiao went back to many places this time. Chaotian Gate is more lively than Jincheng. It’s just that the voices of the people there are too loud, and they talk like quarrels.”
After saying that, Qiao Yunxi frowned.
“Yuzhou is a barbaric land, surrounded by mountains, there is little contact with the outside world, rough folk customs, human nature is also barbaric. Chaotian Sect was a bit better. After all, it was a dock, and the flow of people was large. It could be considered to have seen the world before. However, no matter how good Chaotian Sect was, it was not as good as Jincheng. “Qiao Qiao, you’ve been at Chaotian Sect for a month, and Third Sister has been worried for a month. She’s afraid that you won’t get used to it and will be scared by the people there.”
Qiao Xi said with a relaxed expression, “Fortunately, Qiao Qiao followed a few cousins and no one dared to bully me. Grandfather and uncles treated Qiao Qiao well, so they came back this time and gave me quite a few good things.”
“You, I bought you off with a little something.” Qiao Jinwen poked Qiao Yunxi’s forehead with a helpless expression.
Qiao Jinwen paused for a moment. Seeing that Qiao Yunxi did not continue to speak and did not bring up the matter of dividing things as usual, she was a little unhappy. She could only take the initiative to say, “Qiao Qiao, you must carefully register the things you brought back and put them in the warehouse.”
“Thank you Third Sister for reminding me. Qiao Qiao has already instructed Mammy.”
“Nanny Feng doesn’t care about anything. Third Sister told you to tell Eldest Uncle Niang that if you were a nanny who could take care of things, you would be in the way. It’s hard to speak. What is this servant used for? Isn’t it just for Master’s sake? This servant can’t even do his duty, what’s the use of it?”
Qiao Xi’s face was delicate and foolish, and she was very
Qiao Jinwen rolled her eyes angrily and said, “Alright, Third Sister will lend Mammy Xue to you this time. We’ll talk about it when you’re done with your business.”
Qiao Yunxi sneered.
Mammy Xue?
That was Xue Tao’s dowry nanny.
