Chapter 39 Where There Are People, There Are Rivers and Lakes
Don’t think she doesn’t see it.
Previously, the black condom was extremely reluctant to perform, but the moment Qiao Jinwen stepped forward, his aura immediately changed, even faster than flipping through a book.
Look.
Looking down at Gu Jinzhen’s tightly clenched fingers, Qiao Yunxi felt even more contempt in his heart.
As for it?
It was as if he had never seen a woman before.
The two of them stepped onto the stage. Although Gu Jinzhen’s control was very good, Qiao Xi still saw a strange smile on her awkward face.
It was an expression of extreme restraint but uncontrollable.
Qiao Jinwen goes to sit in front of Guzheng, while Gu Jinzhen picks up the piccolo.
It’s a ensemble.
It’s harder than the last show.
Ensemble, the test is the tacit understanding of the two people. As long as one person makes a mistake, it will affect the effect of the entire song. The level of the two people is too different. If one side cannot adjust to the other side, the performance of the two people will be affected.
Qiao Yunxi sat down under the stage and looked at the two people on the stage.
“Zheng.” Qiao Jinwen said.
As she drew the first note, Gu Jinzhen played a complementary tone.
Qiao Yunxi did not study the zither laws, but he could tell that Qiao Jinwen’s zither skills were not bad. She did not know how she was compared to the daughters of aristocratic families, but she was also the best among her peers in the world.
No wonder the old witch favoured her. She really had the capital.
Xue Tao had spent a lot of effort on Qiao Jinwen, and Qiao Jinwen had also made great efforts. Even if she wasn’t at the peak of the market, she was still at the upper middle level, and her overall quality was outstanding.
No wonder Qiao Jinwen was so arrogant. She really had the strength to marry into an aristocratic family.
At the end of the song, she received even more enthusiastic applause than before, and even Qiao Xi applauded with emotion.
Qiao Jinwen blushed and looked at Gu Jinzhen embarrassedly.
Gu Jinzhen’s expression was calm and he didn’t even breathe a single breath. However, Qiao Yunxi still thought that he saw a stuffy heart under the expressionless face.
If you like it, then you like it. You must pretend to be lofty, and you deserve to be single!
After cursing, the program continued.
Finally, after calling out three numbers in a row, the people on the stage called out number nine.
Qiao Jinwen’s heart trembled.
Similarly, everyone only saw a woman standing up.
Qiao Yunxi had already finished eating the melon seeds and was picking up the peeled oranges on the fruit plate and slowly eating them.
It was too cold, and the moment he ate it, he trembled.
“Qiao Qiao, don’t worry, Third Sister will help you.” Qiao Yunxi almost choked on Qiao Jinwen’s inexplicable words.
Help her?
Help her with what?
Qiao Jinwen did not give her a chance to speak. She stood up and said to the woman at the front table, “Miss Qin, please give me more advice.”
The man nodded slightly at Qiao Jinwen and took the lead on the stage.
Qiao Yunxi’s eyes lit up.
The fingers holding the wooden tablet moved.
This time, Qiao Jinwen’s talent show was about calligraphy.
Because the people on stage were all young girls, there was no need to avoid anything.
The two of them wrote four words together. The common regular script “Flowers Blossom and Rich and Noble” vaguely showed their elegance.
After displaying her calligraphy, Qiao Jinwen took the initiative to say, “Sister Qin, can you leave this word for me as a souvenir?”
Qin Shuang raised his eyebrows, obviously surprised.
Qiao Jinwen said generously, “I have always admired Sister Qin’s calligraphy. Today, I was fortunate enough to take this opportunity to obtain Sister Qin’s ink treasure and wish to keep it as a memento. Besides, this is not an ordinary ink treasure. It was completed together with Sister Qin and is of great significance.”
After all, he was a child. Qin Shuang smiled as he was told by Qiao Jinwen, “Sister Qiao praises him ridiculously. Sister Qiao’s plum blossom seal is a rare delicacy. I just don’t know if I will have the chance to experience it.”
“If Little Sister Qin is interested, let’s meet again another day and discuss it together.”
“Alright.” Qin Shuang replied generously.
Returning to Qiao Yunxi’s side, Qiao Jinwen greets Qiao Yunxi’s gaze and says intimately, “Qiao Qiao, it’s Third Sister who helped you this time. Next time, you’ll have to rely on yourself.”
“It doesn’t matter, Qiao Qiao, and Fifth Sister. Next time, Fifth Sister will help you.”
Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai sang together. They were clearly sisters who helped each other intimately, but in the eyes of outsiders, they were Qiao Yunxi who was ignorant. They could only rely on the help of their sisters to complete the talent show.
Qiao Yunxi chuckled.
Whether she was grateful or something else, only she knew.
Not everyone had to go on stage, so after seven or eight performances, everyone excitedly left and prepared to go to the Chrysanthemum Garden to admire the chrysanthemum.
It was good that there was no adult’s restraint. A group of people arrived at the Chrysanthemum Garden in a mighty manner.
Maid had already prepared snacks and refreshments. Apart from the two octagonal pavilions, there were also some temporary chrysanthemum shed in the garden. Fortunately, the beautiful city in September was still shining brightly. It wasn’t that hot, nor was it very cold. It was very suitable for outdoor entertainment.
Qiao Yunxi followed Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai to the Octagon Pavilion and settled the women.
Qiao Yi took the male guests to sit down in the chrysanthemum shed. The pavilion and the chrysanthemum shed were next to each other, making it easier for everyone to talk.
“Qiao Qiao,” Qiao Jinwen suggested, “many of the chrysanthemums sent by the greenhouse this time are precious varieties. There are also Gong Ju. Let’s go take a look.”
Since he had spent so much money to get so many chrysanthemums, wouldn’t it be a waste if he didn’t appreciate them?
There weren’t many people accompanying him. They were all sisters who were close to Qiao Jinwen.
Qiao Ningdai had always followed Qiao Jinwen’s lead, so she naturally followed along.
Qiao Xi brought forsythia and angelica.
The garden of the Qiao family was not big, but it was exceptionally exquisite. Everyone knew that the garden of the Qiao family was privately called the “Imperial Garden”, which was enough to show how exquisite the garden of the Qiao family was.
Speaking of which, this was Qiao Xi’s first time visiting the Qiao family garden.
The garden wasn’t big, but the scenery in every place was exceptional. The craftsmen carefully forged it. Even the rockery and rocks that were modelled on Suzhou gardens were shipped from Suzhou.
Qiao Xi admired it, but she couldn’t understand this extravagance. It was just a stone, and she had to make an artificial distinction between regions.
The garden was filled with chrysanthemums. It was the time to compete for beauty. In order to “serve” these flowers, they specially hired professional gardeners.
“Qiao’s Third Son, you know that I like chrysanthemums. The chrysanthemum appreciation meeting is over. Can you lend me two pots of chrysanthemums to copy?” A young girl asked.
Qiao Jinwen nodded unconcernedly, “You can take back the basin that you liked. However, you have to help me draw one more.”
The two of them seemed to have a good relationship, and their conversation was more casual.
After a pause, Qiao Jinwen said to Qiao Yunxi, “Qiao Qiao, these are the best chrysanthemums in Jincheng. You can choose some of them later. Grandmother specially invited a gardener to take care of them and they will bloom next year.”
Qiao Yunxi did not comment on Qiao Jinwen’s words.
“Qiao San, compared to your family, my family is a typical nouveau riche family,” said the yellow-clothed woman tastingly. “Look at these exquisite things. Even the officials and aristocratic families in the capital are not so particular. They are luxurious and magnificent. Those who don’t know think they have entered the Duke’s mansion.”
“You can’t say that,” Qiao Jinwen said humbly. “The Qiao Clan doesn’t have the background of a royal noble. They’ve only seen many of them traveling around. They’ve thought about setting up their own courtyard and gathering the experts of each clan. They don’t give off a sudden feeling. They’re in line with the status and status of the Qiao Clan. “You, let’s not talk about anything else. The Wang Clan’s boat is one of the best in Jincheng. When will they invite us to board the boat?”
She cleverly changed the subject.
Miss Wang’s face was filled with arrogance. “Isn’t it just a cruise ship? You can do it whenever you want.”
“Nah, that’s what you said. It just so happens that everyone is here today. Let’s fix the time!” Qiao Jinwen knew how to create an atmosphere.
Everyone followed suit.
All wealthy masters would enjoy life. Although they could not reach the so-called background and atmosphere of aristocratic families, they could still “imitate” them.
Fortunately, the taste of the Qiao family wasn’t too bad, and they didn’t give off the impression that drawing a tiger wasn’t a reverse type dog.
The group walked to the foot of the rockery.
The Qiao Clan was most famous for its rockery gardens.
Different from Suzhou gardens, the elegance of the people of Sichuan has its own spiciness and competence.
It was clearly two completely different temperaments, but they were perfectly fused together.
This was something that ordinary people could not imitate, and it was also the envy of other merchant families.
Compared to them, the Qiao Clan was not only a merchant, but also a Confucian merchant.
It was said that businessmen were eager for profit and smelled of bronze. The Qiao Clan was no exception. However, the Qiao Clan’s life was good. In addition to their own cultivation, there was also a sense of scholarship in their every move. It instantly gave off a different feeling. Even if they were doing business, the elegant temperament of the Qiao Clan made the money taller and taller.
Qiao Xi and Qiao Jinwen shuttled through the rockery garden.
A strong sense of hierarchy assaulted his eyes, and Qiao Yunxi was as excited as walking through a maze.
“Let’s play hide-and-seek,” Wang suggested. “It’s a waste of such good resources.”
The corner of Qiao Yunxi’s mouth twitched.
They were all teenage girls. Normally, they were restrained by their seniors. They had to be dignified and graceful. Even their siblings had to speak literally. It was rare for them to have a chance to let themselves go. Therefore, even though it was a very childish suggestion, it was echoed by everyone.
“Qiao Qiao, follow Third Sister. I guarantee that they won’t find you.” Qiao Jinwen blinked at Qiao Xi relying on her natural harmony.
The rockery garden was too big, so the game officially began.
After making the decision, Qiao Jinwen pulled Qiao Yunxi deeper into the rockery while the man closed his eyes and counted.
In the complex environment, the sense of direction was slightly different, so she couldn’t go in and out. Even though Qiao Xi had her own memories, this place was still a blank space.
My body is not well, so I have no chance to go out of the courtyard, let alone wander around the rockery garden.
Qiao Jinwen held Qiao Yunxi’s hand, avoided the people around her who were also sneaking around, and ran towards her destination. When she got closer, Qiao Jinwen suddenly stopped.
“Qiao Qiao, Third Sister, go take a look at the situation. Be vigilant and hurry over when no one is around.”
Qiao Yunxi nodded nervously.
Shortly after Qiao Jinwen left, she followed suit.
Several little girls who had already returned safely from their destination smiled politely at Qiao Xi when they saw her, but they did not say anything.
