Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 30
Chapter 30 Be Affectionate with One Another
“Qiao Qiao!” Xue Tao awkwardly called out to Qiao Yunxi.
Qiao Yunxi blinked, confused.
Gu Jingshu and Qiao Xingbang exchanged glances and did not say anything.
Xue Tao said awkwardly, “That was all Auntie Fourth’s nonsense. You also know that Auntie Fourth was so angry that she didn’t choose her words.”
Qiao Family boasted that he was a wealthy family. Old Madam Qiao tried her best to be on the same level as the real Xun noble family, so she would not allow such a thing as beating a servant or concubine to death.
Qiao Yunxi nodded in confusion.
Just as everyone thought that she was no longer entangled in this matter, she suddenly said, “Grandmother, please hand over the deed of sale of the peony to the Eastern Campus.”
It wasn’t a very tough tone, but the meaning of the words was hard to understand. It looked like “please”, but in fact, it was “want”.
But Old Madame Qiao couldn’t find a reason to get angry. Since she had bestowed a good concubine, she naturally had to hand over the deed of sale and hold it in her hands. Was that good concubine a member of the Eastern Academy or a member of the Intermediate Academy?
Actually, everyone present knew Old Madam Qiao’s intentions, but they didn’t want to break it. What did Old Madam want to do with the Eastern Campus?
If they really wanted to talk about it, they could not wait!
Although they could not harm the foundation of the Eastern Campus and might add to the blockade of the Eastern Campus, they were happy to see it succeed.
Because of their status and filial piety, Qiao Xingbang and Gu Jingshu could not ask for the contract to sell the peony.
It was just that everyone had counted thousands of times, but they didn’t expect that Qiao Yunxi, who had always had no sense of existence, would finally speak up.
“Mammy Gong, go fetch the deed of sale for Paeonia lactiflora.” Old Madame Qiao looked at Qiao Yunxi and gritted her teeth. “Qiao Qiao has changed a lot recently. She’s sensible.”
“It’s all because Fourth Aunt taught me well.” Qiao Yunxi replied.
Xue Tao couldn’t say anything.
Can’t handle this damn girl, can’t you handle your daughter-in-law?
Old Madame Qiao looked at Gu Jingshu and said, “Jingshu, Shaoyao will be the person beside me in the future. I hope that with your concerted efforts, the Eastern Campus will have a better life.”
“Daughter-in-law, remember what mother taught you.”
Returning to the Eastern Campus, Gu Jingshu looked at Paeonia lactiflora who was kneeling on the ground. In front of her, she handed her deed of sale to Zhong Mammy and said, “From now on, you will be the White Concubine of the Eastern Campus. Someone will teach you the rules and regulations.” In addition, according to the rules of Qiao Family, you can bring two personal maids with you. You can choose these two people yourself. The rough messenger maids and granny in the courtyard each have one, and they will be distributed uniformly by the Eastern Campus. Do you have anything else to ask? ”
Shaoyao’s surname was “Bai”. She changed from “Shaoyao” to “Concubine Bai”. She was excited. She squeezed for a moment and asked in a low voice, “Madam, this servant wants to ask when this servant will be able to …”
Before he could finish speaking, his face turned red.
Qiao Yunxi was watching from the side.
She came back with Gu Jingshu. Since Gu Jingshu did not drive her back to the East courtyard, she naturally did not mind watching from the sidelines.
Sure enough, he was the spy of the old witch!
That pretentious expression, the pretentious pronunciation of her pinched voice, and the deliberately curved S-shaped curve …
Tsk tsk tsk, in order to climb the bed, this white lotus flower had also risked its life.
He wasn’t afraid of breaking his waist.
Gu Jingshu said with a faint smile, “Since Old Madame sent you to the Eastern Campus, let alone anything else, Old Madame still needs to give you face. Go back and prepare. Master will come to your place tonight.”
Concubine Bai’s face was filled with joy. After thanking her, she followed the maidservant to the side courtyard.
Although the Eastern Campus does not have concubine mother, house opening, or the like, it is the same as the other courtyards. There is a small courtyard that is dedicated to the territory of these women. In any case, no matter how many women you have, other than the master, the other women are all in the side courtyard.
“Qiao Qiao.”
Qiao Xi’s gaze was still on Bai Lianhua’s back as she heard Gu Jingshu’s voice. She hurriedly withdrew her gaze and straightened her body.
Gu Jingshu looked at the serious Qiao Xi with amusement.
Qiao Xingbang, on the other hand, could no longer hold back his strict father’s airs. He glared at Gu Jingshu and said, “Why are you so serious? Qiao Qiao is still a child.”
Gu Jingshu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “I just called Qiao Qiao’s name. Are you two going to question me?”
Seeing that Gu Jingshu and Qiao Xingbang hadn’t responded because of a white lotus flower, Qiao Xi heaved a sigh of relief.
“Qiao Qiao, mother knows that you protect your father and mother and the Eastern Campus, but in the future, you can’t do such a strong thing again,” Gu Jingshu said softly, shaving her nose affectionately.
Gu Jingshu originally wanted to say that Old Madame Qiao didn’t use this as an excuse, but since Qiao Xingbang was present, she didn’t want Qiao Xingbang to be difficult to do, so she swallowed her words.
“Mother, Qiao Qiao knows.” Qiao Yunxi nodded in confusion. “Qiao Qiao is not stupid. Qiao Qiao just doesn’t say much.”
“My Qiao Qiao is so smart, who dares to say she’s stupid?” Qiao Xingbang’s expression immediately sank as he bluffed.
Gu Jingshu glared at Qiao Xingbang and said, “I’m scared of Qiao Qiao.”
Qiao Xingbang laughed.
Qiao Xi plunged into Gu Jingshu’s embrace and rubbed her head hard.
“Qiao Qiao is shy.” Gu Jingshu teased Qiao Yunxi, but her heart felt as if she had drunk honey.
She rarely brought her daughter with her, so it was rare for the mother and daughter to say a few words, let alone such intimate interactions.
Qiao Xingbang tasted it and pulled Qiao Yunxi into his embrace.
“Rub it on Daddy a few more times.”
The corners of Qiao Yunxi’s forehead twitched.
Rub it a few more times?
Hair or snot.
“Is there anyone who speaks like that?” Before Gu Jingshu could enjoy the warmth between mother and daughter, she was interrupted by Qiao Xingbang and immediately became dissatisfied.
Qiao Yunxi rolled her eyes helplessly. When the two of them were done messing around, she asked coquettishly, “Mother, is that white lotus flower just like this?”
When she said this, she was a little guilty.
After all, it was a matter for her parents, so how could a single child of hers be allowed to point fingers at her?
She only asked naively because she was young and had the love of Gu Jingshu and Qiao Xingbang.
Under her gaze, Gu Jingshu’s expression did not change as she said, “Mother has mother’s method. What are you worried about? You’re young, always frowning. You’re about to become a little old woman.”
She pressed her hand on Qiao Xi’s forehead, not allowing her to frown.
Qiao Xingbang also comforted him, “This is a matter for adults. Your mission is to eat well, play well, and sleep well.”
“I’m not a pig.” Qiao Yunxi pursed his lips and said.
“Isn’t it just a pig? It’s Daddy’s pig.” Qiao Xingbang pinched Qiao Yunxi’s nose twice, causing Qiao Yunxi to frown in pain.
“No light, no heavy!” Gu Jingshu slapped off Qiao Xingbang’s hand and said seriously to Qiao Yunxi, “Mother knows that you are a good child, but I should do all these things to prevent grandmother from angering you.”
“Grandmother doesn’t like Qiao Qiao. Mother, Qiao Qiao knows that Grandmother sent a white lotus here because of the incident at Pilltop Mountain last time.”
“You child,” Gu Jingshu said amusedly. “In the past, I was worried that you were too stupid and would suffer losses outside. Now, it’s not easy to enlighten me. I’m also worried that you’re too smart to take care of everything and force yourself to stand out. When the time comes, it’ll be me who will suffer.”
“Who dares to let my Qiao Xingbang’s daughter suffer?” ‘”Qiao Qiao, don’t be afraid. With Father here, whatever you want to do and say, just do it. Tell me, everything has a father.” Qiao Xingbang was shocked.
“You” Gu Jingshu gritted her teeth angrily and gasped for breath. She couldn’t believe that her fingers would poke Qiao Xingbang’s forehead. “It’s good for you to protect Qiao Qiao, but you have to be careful. If this child really causes a big disaster outside and you can’t heal, then drag my Qiao Qiao into it, I’ll fight you to the death.”
Seeing Gu Jingshu flirting with Qiao Xingbang, Qiao Xi’s heart was filled with sweetness.
Parents have good feelings for each other, so it’s not so easy for outsiders to interfere.
However, she would not let down her guard.
At this time, all of the women’s thoughts were fighting against each other, trying to rob a man.
Only what they did not expect, nothing they did not dare to do.
We can’t use the normal three views to restrain women at this time. What concubines, housekeepers, and outsiders are all reasonable existences. Even drinking flower wine is an elegant affair. Therefore, that white lotus flower is always a dangerous bomb.
Seeing Qiao Yunxi’s eyes flicker, Gu Jingshu knew what this girl was thinking.
Gu Jingshu pinched her round little face and comforted, “Mother has her methods. Don’t underestimate Mother. Mother used to have a bad body, so she didn’t have the heart and energy to take care of many things. It’s different now.”
Qiao Xi nodded and looked at Qiao Xingbang. “Father, can you accompany Qiao Qiao to admire the moon tonight?” She said angrily.
Moon appreciation …
Qiao Xingbang wanted to cry without tears.
It has been raining these days, where did the moon come from?
Night fell.
Concubine Bai soaked herself in the flower dew under the maidservant’s care, and then used the cream given by the matriarch. It was said that it was only the imperial concubine in the palace who used the cream to wipe her entire body.
She gently pressed her fingertips on her arm and her delicate skin immediately bounced up. The so-called bullet could break through just like that. The fresh and elegant fragrance under her nose was the smell of jasmine that Grandpa liked the most.
Concubine Bai lay on the soft couch, letting the maidservant help her dry her long hair.
She was the eldest maidservant beside the matriarch. When the eldest maidservants in the other courtyards saw her, no one could give her any face.
Her daddy mother was the right nanny and steward beside the old lady. One helped the old lady manage the inner courtyard, the other helped the old lady manage the outer courtyard.
Although there were a few young masters living in the outer courtyard, the matriarch had a strong desire for control. Everything about the Qiao family, big or small, had to be handled by her.
Even the madams were inferior to her in front of the old madam.
The matriarch was accustomed to her attendance. She didn’t say that she understood her best, but no one could compare to her in terms of currying favor with her and speculating on her thoughts!
If she hadn’t been born lower, her status in the Qiao Clan wouldn’t have been lower than those ladies.
Therefore, she took it for granted that the matriarch had lifted her up to Concubine.
