Chapter 47 An Interrupter Who Stands Out from the Rest of the Crowd
Even if Qiao Da was the direct son of Third Fang, in Old Madam Qiao’s eyes, he was still the eldest grandson of Shu, and could not be compared to his first grandson.
Could this be the reason why the old witch didn’t like long houses?
If the child in Gu Jingshu’s stomach was still alive, she would be the eldest grandson of the Qiao family. The old witch should have a lot of face, right?
Qiao Xi withdrew her slack thoughts and returned to the east courtyard.
Astragalus membranaceus had already packed up what she was going to bring tomorrow. When she saw Qiao Xi, she winked at Qiao Qiao.
After Qiao Xi was settled down, Lian Qiao checked them and nodded to Huang Qi, “The things are right. Remember to bring them all tomorrow.”
Angelica stood beside Qiao Xi woodenly.
She had followed Qiao Xi for more than half a month, and she was a person who didn’t like to talk.
It was said that what kind of master had what kind of slave, outsiders could tell at a glance that this was definitely the master and servant, and both of them were paralyzed.
However, Qiao Xi knew that Danggui was just afraid that she would make more mistakes.
“Danggui, how long have you been learning martial arts?” Qiao Xi asked inadvertently.
“Young miss, this servant has been studying martial arts for twelve years at the age of three.”
“Where are the others in the escort agency?” Qiao Xi knew the background of the entire Uncle Clan. She did not expect to find out anything. Not to mention that there were no people around her, but there were. According to the degree of caution of the black condom, the background of the entire Uncle Clan must be perfect. Even if she did, she would not be able to find anything.
Dang Gui’s expression darkened. “Servant didn’t know that the escort agency had lost a lot of money in the past. However, the other party relied on his friendship with the government and insisted on asking us for our sins. Although he wasn’t going to be exiled, he wouldn’t be able to escape a life of selling himself.”
“What deep hatred? Can’t I send you to jail? Do I have to make you become slaves from a good citizen?” Qiao Yunxi’s idea was very simple. The escort agency was equivalent to a modern express delivery service. However, the goods escorted could range from goods to living people. If the escort agency made the customer lose money, it could at most make up for it. No matter how angry he was, the most he could do was to sit in a cell and let the customer vent his anger. There was no need to make the family collapse and become a slave.
“Miss,” said Dang Gui indignantly, “you don’t know that the Servant family was framed. That family wanted us to escort them in the name of returning to the ancestral mansion to visit their relatives. Half a month’s journey was not very far, and most of it was on the boat. Servant’s father and five other uncles boarded the bodyguards together. They didn’t expect that something would happen on the ship. They were ambushed by water bandits in the middle of the night. Most of the people on the passenger ship were killed and wounded, and the family was among them. “Originally, Servant’s parents wanted to see if they could compensate them with money. We were helpless when we encountered such an accident. Besides, this matter alarmed the government and would always be investigated. However, they didn’t want the employer’s family to sue the Servant family. The county magistrate was also greedy. After a few trips, the Servant family became slaves without any effort.”
Dang Gui’s words were very vague, seemingly explaining in detail. After careful consideration, he did not reveal any useful information, but on the surface, he answered Qiao Yunxi’s question.
If Qiao Xi was really a ten-year-old child, she would have been fooled.
Qiao Yunxi smiled and changed the topic, “I heard that martial arts can strengthen the body?”
“It has a certain effect. The effect varies from person to person. Does Miss want to practice martial arts with Servant?” Dang Gui asked innocently.
Qiao Yunxi said more naively, “I don’t want to practice martial arts anymore. I have been in poor health since I was young. I wonder if martial arts can improve my physique? At least, I don’t need to drink medicine every day.”
Danggui comforted, “If Miss is willing, this servant can teach you some of the most basic and healthy things.”
Qiao Yunxi’s eyes lit up.
Apart from being curious about ancient martial arts, the most important purpose of practicing martial arts with Dang Gui was to get close to Dang Gui.
The next day, just as Qiao Yunxi got up, Little Maid outside came to say that Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai had come.
Before Qiao Xi could say anything, the two of them came into the room.
“I mean, Qiao Qiao must still be awake.” Qiao Ningdai said teasingly as she stood beside the bed.
Qiao Jinwen rolled her eyes and said, “Qiao Qiao is not used to it. Do you think she is like you and doesn’t want to go to school?”
Qiao Ningdai glared at Qiao Yunxi unconvincingly. When she looked at Qiao Yunxi, she put on a smiling expression. “Qiao Qiao, Third Sister and I are waiting for you outside. Hurry up.”
Qiao Yunxi nodded in confusion, apparently not understanding the situation.
It was already fifteen minutes before they appeared in front of the two of them again. The sisters arrived at the matriarch’s courtyard.
Today was her first day at the clan school. According to the usual practice, the matriarch wanted to give a few instructions.
Qiao Family’s children, regardless of gender, were all six-year-olds. However, what they learned was different. Qiao Yunxi’s health was not good. Xue Tao, in line with the principle of doting on her, did not want her to suffer. After asking Gu Jingshu for advice, Qiao Yunxi had never been to school.
Qiao Xi expressed her deep suspicions.
To put it nicely, he was worried about her health.
Who knew if she was afraid that she would learn too much and know too much so that the people from the other rooms wouldn’t be able to handle it anymore?
One had to know that the population of Changfang was very simple. One was Qiao Xingbang, who was out all year round, one was Gu Jingshu, who was bedridden all year round, and the remaining was Qiao Xi, who was withdrawn. She was too easy to bully.
Qiao Xi stood obediently in front of Old Madam Qiao while her heart was chattering.
Old Madame Qiao looked at Qiao Yunxi with a hostile expression. In the end, she wanted to be respectful and said routinely, “Qiao Qiao, you are not young anymore. Previously, because of your health, you were not allowed to go to the school. Today is your first day at the school. If there is anything you don’t understand, ask your third sister and fifth sister. Before you do anything, let them know.” Although the academy is our own, there should still be rules. We cannot act recklessly. The people in the school are all Qiao Family clansmen. Grandmother doesn’t want to hear any discord between the clans. ”
“Yes, grandmother.”
Although Old Master Qiao was not the Patriarch, he still had more than a hundred members of the Qiao Clan. Old Madam Qiao was very arrogant. Although she was a backyard woman, she could understand the twists and turns here. Qiao Family was the most prominent among the clansmen. There was also Qiao Family’s name on the genealogy. If the people of Qiao Family assumed the role of “Patriarch” again, the clansmen were worried that they would cross the river and tear down the bridge. Although they would not be separated from the genealogy, the benefits to the clansmen would be reduced. Even if there were so-called elders pressing down on them, if Qiao Family privately promised benefits to the elders, it would still be these clansmen who would suffer.
Therefore, no matter what, the position of “Patriarch” was not for the Qiao Clan. However, this did not affect Old Madame Qiao’s position as “Patriarch” in the slightest. If she really wanted to take the position, even the Patriarch would have to give her three points of face.
Therefore, when she instructed Qiao Xi, Old Madam Qiao was arrogant.
If she couldn’t stop Qiao Yunxi from going to clan school, she could only warn her not to cause any trouble.
The clan school was not far from the Qiao Clan, so it only took fifteen minutes by carriage.
On the first day she arrived at the school, Qiao Xi was still a little excited. She waved her hand at the worried Gu Jingshu at the gate. Qiao Xi stepped on her short legs and heroically got on the carriage.
Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai explained the situation of the school to Qiao Yunxi in detail. Their explanations were very pertinent. They only talked about the distribution of the school, what lessons they wanted to learn, and the Headmaster’s preferences. As for his classmates, the two of them didn’t say anything else, meaning that Qiao Yunxi should make contact with them and develop his own circle.
It had to be said that these two sisters were very thoughtful.
The corners of Qiao Yunxi’s eyes curved.
If she was lucky enough to make friends with usable people, then she would make a lot of money. If she accidentally made friends with pig teammates, she believed that her life in the academy would not be easy for a long time.
Qiao Xi also got into the carriage. After hearing Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai talk about it, she realized that the Qiao Clan’s clan studies were not only limited to the Qiao Clan’s clansmen, but also the children of other businesses in the Jincheng Chamber of Commerce.
It’s not hard to understand.
Just like the nobles and nobles of aristocratic families, every class had their own circles. With circles, they needed to socialize. Letting these children cultivate “deep friendships” from an early age would also be beneficial to them in the future.
The imperial dynasty did not restrict the examination of merchants, so whether these children were going to do business or go into politics in the future, “friends” were an indispensable force.
Merchants also had their own calculations. It was just enlightenment. There was no need for a good academy. Although they could make friends with noble people, in the eyes of those noble people, “merchants” were equivalent to untouchables. They were not despised to the point where they needed to stick their cold butts on others.
If the child has talent, wait for the child to pass the entrance examination before making any other plans.
Along the way, she thought a lot, and only when Qiao Xi stood in front of the school did she withdraw her wild thoughts from her little head.
The academy is smaller than she imagined, no merchant is wealthy, you are more refined and refined.
“Qiao Qiao, I’ll take you to the dean.”
The dean of the clan was a member of the Qiao Clan. He didn’t have any fame, so he was in charge of the clan because this person’s temperament was the best amongst the Qiao Clan members. He was gentle towards others and was also the most patient.
After all, they were dealing with children, so patience was necessary.
Qiao Yunxi obediently stood in front of Qiao Zhengzhe, his dull little face expressionless.
Knowing Qiao Yunxi’s temperament, Qiao Zhengzhe did not make things difficult for him. He only asked a few questions in a business manner and then gave an explanation.
“Qiao Qiao, Third Sister and I are in the A-class Academy. If you need anything, just send someone over to give us a message.” Qiao Ningdai warned worriedly.
Seeing that Qiao Yunxi nodded, she smiled bitterly and shook her head, “Your third sister and I were afraid that you wouldn’t get used to us. You’re fine. We wish we could leave earlier. Alright, we won’t delay you anymore. Hurry up and go in.”
Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai walked towards the courtyard A after sending Qiao Xi to the gate of the courtyard D and watching her bring the maidservant into the courtyard.
According to the age of the students and the difficulty of the courses, they were divided into four courtyards: A, B, C, D, and D. The male students were in the Eastern Courtyard and the female students were in the Western Courtyard.
Qiao Yunxi had just arrived and was at the entry level, so he was in the Ding courtyard.
Qiao Xi was already mentally prepared, but when she stood at the door of the classroom and saw a room full of six or seven-year-old Little Bean Ding, Qiao Xi still didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
