Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 98
Chapter 98 I Can’t Wait
“It’s good that there are many people,” Qiao Jinwen instructed. “There are many people. Everyone has seen it. That’s the truth.”
“What truth?” Qiao Xi did not understand, “Concubine Bai is my father’s concubine mother, what other facts do you need?”
Qiao Jinwen was speechless.
Qiao Ningdai, who had received the hint, bravely said, “Concubine Bai has been with Uncle for so long, and Uncle has only rested in her room a few times? Everyone in the courtyard said that Eldest Uncle Niang was in charge of Eldest Uncle. Concubine Bai did not have the chance to serve Eldest Uncle. If it was an ordinary concubine mother, that would be fine, but concubine mother Bai was the one who opened a loose leaf for Eldest Uncle. She had a mission. As long as her mission was completed, she would be staying. It was only Eldest Uncle mother’s words. I don’t know what Eldest Uncle Niang thinks. The more she drags on like this, the more disadvantageous it will be to her. Let alone the rumors in the courtyard and outside, even Grandmother won’t be able to get past it. It would be better to have concubine mother Bai conceive earlier and throw her into a side courtyard to raise a baby. ”
“However, there are so many people today, and the matter has become big …”
“It’s good to make a big fuss!” Sensing her anxiety, Qiao Jinwen clenched her throat and coughed softly.
Qiao Ningdai immediately answered, “There are many people today. It is an opportunity to quell the rumors. Everyone outside said that Eldest Uncle Niang is in charge of Eldest Uncle. If everyone knows that Eldest Uncle has entered Concubine Bai’s house today and the rumors don’t break out, Eldest Uncle Niang will be justified.”
“That’s right, but on such an important occasion, my father did something against the rules and lost face with the Qiao Manor. Grandmother …”
“Grandmother won’t blame, Qiao Qiao, do you think, grandmother has always expected concubine mother white to give birth to a son for the long room, maybe today? Today, so many people had witnessed Eldest Uncle’s doting on Concubine Bai, shattering the rumors, and Eldest Uncle Niang gaining a good reputation. These were all good things. “Most importantly, Qiao Qiao, if Eldest Uncle sees Eldest Uncle and Concubine White together, she will change her mind, or she will no longer bind Eldest Uncle.”
“But, if Daddy becomes angry from embarrassment …”
“Don’t worry, Qiao Qiao. Arrange it carefully. Uncle won’t find out that you are behind this.” Qiao Jinwen said confidently.
“Then … I’ll arrange it.”
“What is Qiao Qiao planning to do?” Qiao Jinwen asked worriedly.
Qiao Yunxi was confused. “I don’t know either. Why don’t you put the medicine in the tea?”
“Eldest Uncle is waiting for the guests in front of us. I don’t have time to drink tea. What if someone else drank it by mistake …”
“Then what should we do?” Qiao Yunxi was anxious.
“If Qiao Qiao trusts Third Sister, Third Sister will arrange it.”
“Naturally, Qiao Qiao belongs to Third Sister Xin.”
After returning to the flower hall, Qiao Xi drank two mouthfuls of tea to relieve her nervousness.
In the front yard.
Regardless of their relationship with the other rooms, Qiao Xingbang was really happy today.
Perhaps in the eyes of aristocratic families, a child was nothing, but to Qiao Family and even the Qiao Clan, it was truly a great event.
“Big brother.” Fourth Master Qiao came over with a face full of spring.
“Fourth Brother, how is your side?” Qiao Xingbang asked Fourth Master Qiao as he glanced left and right to see what was wrong.
“Big brother, don’t worry, everything is arranged.” Fourth Master Qiao and his son were surrounded by the crowd for a fierce compliment today, and they were currently floating in the air.
In the past, when he was doing business, it wasn’t that he wasn’t held in high esteem, but that was because he was the fourth master of Qiao Family. Others gave him “charity” for the sake of Qiao Family’s face and Qiao Xingbang’s face.
Not today.
Today, his face was his, not someone else’s.
In the future, the face of the Qiao Clan would most likely depend on their four bedrooms, on him, the “Fourth Master Qiao”!
“There are many people today. Although we are all acquaintances, we still need to be careful.”
Fourth Master Qiao said indifferently, “Big Brother, don’t worry, I’ve already given my orders.”
“Alright, you’ve been busy for a long time. Come, let’s have a drink of tea.”
When the two brothers arrived at the house, Qiao Yi and Li Rui were surrounded by a group of elders, giving them some advice and expectations.
“Boss is here.” Patriarch Qiao had been sitting on the main seat with a shelf.
“Patriarch.” Qiao Xingbang’s address to the Patriarch was polite and distant.
The old patriarch nodded slightly.
Speaking of which, Qiao Family was only a side branch of the Qiao Clan. Old Master Qiao started as a merchant. No one had expected that the child who had no sense of existence in the clan would actually be able to lay such a large foundation. Fortunately, after becoming rich in Qiao Family, he did not forget his own foundation.
The old patriarch was very satisfied.
The fact that his clansmen were able to rise to prominence was also due to him, wasn’t it?
Now that the Qiao Clan had produced a child, the future of the Qiao Clan could not be underestimated.
“Brother Yi is a promising young man. If you need anything, tell the clan. Even if we are to use the strength of the clan, we will let Brother Yi read on.”
The power of a clan?
What can the clansmen provide for the Qiao Clan?
These clansmen were still supported by the Qiao Clan.
Seeing Fourth Master Qiao’s disdainful expression, Qiao Xingbang hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, Patriarch. As long as Brother Yi can read, we will support him. The Qiao Family has a great career and can afford it.” Brother Yi is a good man. To be ashamed of reading this book, I, as an eldest uncle, am not of much help. I have been relying on him all these years. “Brother Yi has won the honor of the Qiao Clan this time.”
‘”Uncle,” Qiao Yi stood there with an old scholar look and cupped her hands. “Nephew has no other abilities, only the reading section can be used. For all these years, Uncle has been traveling around the house, and Nephew has always remembered Uncle’s kindness. In the future, if Nephew is successful, he can help Uncle share the burden.”
“Good child.” Qiao Xingbang slapped Qiao Yi on the shoulder.
There were many people today, so Old Madame Qiao naturally laid down the rules.
Lunch was divided between the male guests and the female guests. The men were bustling in the front yard, and the female guests were tossing and turning in the back yard.
Qiao Yunxi’s soul was lost. Qiao Jinwen secretly looked at her for a few times, but she couldn’t help but pull her sleeve lightly. “Qiao Qiao, it’s easy to tell if you’re like this.”
Qiao Yunxi nodded. “Third sister, I know, but … I can’t do it.”
“Alright, concentrate on eating. Don’t think about the mess.”
Qiao Xi took two mouthfuls of rice without knowing the taste and took the handkerchief that Lian Qiao handed over to wipe her hands.
“Go to the kitchen and have a look. Have the kitchen bring a bowl of sober soup to Master.”
“Yes, Miss.” Lian Qiao stiffened her body and went out.
“Qiao Qiao came back this time. She is quite sensible.” The one who spoke was Qiao Linzi. Since he had a request from Qiao Yunxi, there was nothing to flatter him with a few words.
Qiao Yunxi nodded seriously. “Father is usually very hard working. Mother and I can’t help him much. In the next year, father will go to the north of Sichuan. I don’t know when he will be back.”
Qiao Linzi nodded in understanding, “The north of Sichuan is the focus of this year. Big brother is going to take care of it. However, big brother is still a man no matter what. Big brother has his own business, but he still needs a woman to take care of his life.”
Qiao Yunxi looked confused.
Qiao Linzi smiled and said, “In the past, eldest sister-in-law’s health was not good. Eldest brother was alone outside. Now, isn’t there Auntie Bai in the Eastern Campus? Let eldest brother take care of eldest brother and stay in the Eastern Campus. Why bother staying in the Eastern Campus? When Auntie Bai is pregnant, let her come back and give birth to a man and a woman. Eldest brother also has incense.”
Qiao Yunxi sneered.
How much did these people care about the children of the Eastern Academy?
Aren’t they afraid that once the Eastern Campus is in place, they won’t have a chance?
A moment later, Lian Qiao returned, and Qiao Yunxi heaved a sigh of relief.
After dinner, the group went to the courtyard to listen to the play.
The winter in Shu Prefecture was not cold. In addition, the courtyard had long been surrounded. With the charcoal basin, it was warm. Those who did not like to listen to the play could sit and play cards. It was also lively.
The young man couldn’t sit still. The matriarch disdainfully let them play by themselves. She called a few Maid and the old woman followed.
How could Qiao Jinwen have the mood to bring everyone to play in the garden?
“Qiao Qiao, hasn’t your courtyard been renovated? Why don’t we just sit in your courtyard?”
Bai Concubine was from the Eastern Campus. This “seizure of adultery” was quite special. Qiao Xingbang was justified in what he did in Bai Concubine’s house, so they had to think of a reasonable reason to go to Qiao Yunxi’s courtyard and accidentally discover something.
However, Qiao Yunxi was a girl who hadn’t left the pavilion, so it didn’t matter if she was all there. However, there were still teenagers amongst her companions today, and Tong Bin was one of them.
Qiao Yunxi was naturally hesitant.
Qiao Jinwen also felt that it was inappropriate and said to Old Madam Qiao, “Grandmother, let’s sit in Qiao Qiao’s courtyard. Qiao Qiao’s courtyard has just been repaired. Let’s go open our eyes.”
Old Madame Qiao favoured Qiao Jinwen and tried her best to satisfy her requirements. Although she felt that it was inappropriate, she still said, “Alright, you guys go sit in the East courtyard. San’er, help Qiao Qiao take care of everyone.” “There are many flowers in Qiao Qiao’s courtyard, especially the plum blossoms. This is the right time to bloom. Earlier, the Marquis of Zhen Yuan sent some plum branches over. I heard that they were branched from the plum blossom tree in Duke mansion Merlin. They are all with San’er. I asked Qiao Qiao to take some and plant them in the spring.”
‘”Duke mansion Merlin’s plum blossoms are very famous. I heard that in the capital, Lord Marquis’s colleagues come here every year. Unfortunately, there aren’t many people who can see their faces. Those are Lord Marquis’s treasures. They are specially planted for Madam duke. I didn’t expect that the Crown Prince would actually branch them to San’er.”
The old woman’s complimentary expression made Old Madame Qiao very satisfied.
“This is also our Qiao Manor’s fortune. I’m just worried that San’er might ruin things.”
“I know a few formidable gardeners. They are very good at planting plum trees. If Old Madame needs them, I will introduce them to you.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you.” Old Madame Qiao said pretentiously.
The old woman covered her mouth and chuckled, “Old Madame’s words are ridiculous. In the future, San’er will grow plum blossoms. You must let us open our eyes.”
“That’s for sure.” Qiao Jinwen said generously.
This degree of shamelessness towards his grandchildren once again refreshed Qiao Yunxi’s cognition.
Together, she also became the one who benefited from Qiao Jinwen?
