Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 48
Chapter 48 Lower Eyebrows Pleasing to the Eye
“Miss” Lian Qiao looked at Qiao Yunxi worriedly.
Her young miss was the most sensitive. Sometimes, it was just an unintentional gaze from an outsider. Young miss would secretly ponder for a long time. Then, she would think twice.
As time passed, the young lady’s personality also became unpleasant.
When she knew that Young Miss was coming to the clan to learn, she was also very conflicted.
On the one hand, she hoped that Miss could make more friends and be more cheerful. On the other hand, she was worried that Miss would not be able to adapt.
Just like now.
The room was filled with six or seven-year-olds, and the ladies seemed out of place when compared to them.
Young miss is not tall, and she also feels like she stands out from the rest of the group of children. I wonder if young miss will be able to survive those repulsive gazes.
Lian Qiao looked at Qiao Xi worriedly.
The Ding Clan didn’t differentiate between men and women. After all, it was just a Kai Meng clan, and what it learned was the most basic stuff. Therefore, the Ding Clan was the most special cla. S.s.
The Headmaster waved his hand and let Qiao Yunxi in.
After introducing herself, she sat in front.
As a member of the Qiao family, he still had this privilege.
The Headmaster continued his lecture. After class, he said a few more words to Qiao Xi, asking her to go to the Headmasters to make up for the previous lesson after lunch.
During the recess, the surrounding classmates were all playing outside. They were all people from the circle. After a few months, they were all very familiar with each other. They were originally at the age where they liked to fight and make trouble, so it immediately became lively outside.
When Lian Qiao thought of what Madam had specifically told her last night, she bravely said to Qiao Xi, “Miss, why don’t we go kick the shuttlecock?”
The number of games played by girls was originally few, and the number of shuttlecock kicks was very few. They could play by themselves and fight in groups. Now, the weather was the most suitable.
Seeing Qiao Xi nod, Lian Qiao heavily spat out a mouthful of turbid air.
However, as soon as the two of them walked into the crowd, someone put their hands on their hips and said arrogantly, “Are you the fool from Qiao Family’s room?”
“Impudent!” Once Qiao Qiao’s aura was released, the eldest maidservant’s arrogance could still frighten quite a few people.
In addition, she and Qiao Xi were older than these children, so the girl who had shouted earlier took a step back in fear.
“You’re the one who’s presumptuous!” A little fatty came over and tried to appease the little girl before looking at Qiao Yunxi angrily, “My sister is telling the truth. Why isn’t she telling the truth?”
“My young miss is a direct descendant of the Qiao family’s house. You are talking nonsense there. Be careful that I tell the Headmaster!” Lian Qiaoya said sharply, “Which family’s young master and young miss are you? When you return, I’ll tell my master. I want to see who is in trouble with our Qiao Family’s room!”
Forsythia was smart and knew that she was outnumbered, so she moved out of the name of “Qiao Family Room”.
Sure enough, not only did Fatty not dare to speak, the atmosphere around him became much gloomier.
Everyone knew that Qiao Xingbang’s doting on his daughter could offend Qiao Xingbang, not Qiao Xingbang’s daughter.
Can’t afford to offend, can’t you hide?
Thus, everyone tacitly isolated Qiao Xi.
Seeing this, Lian Qiao was so anxious that she jumped to the side.
Qiao Yunxi didn’t care, he sat by the side and watched quietly.
“Qiao Qiao.” With a familiar voice, Lian Qiao heaved a sigh of relief.
Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai brought a few people over. Seeing Qiao Yunxi sitting on the side, they immediately asked, “Is Qiao Qiao used to it?”
Qiao Yunxi shook his head.
Qiao Ningdai raised her eyebrows and looked into the crowd.
The little ones immediately tensed up nervously.
They dared to show off in front of Qiao Yunxi, but they didn’t dare to be arrogant in front of these “big brothers and sisters”.
“Sister Ning Dai,” a little girl came over and said in a milky voice, “you’re here to see Sister Qiao Qiao, aren’t you?”
Qiao Yunxi raised his eyebrows. He was able to sense things at such a young age.
Qiao Ningdai’s expression softened. “My Qiao Qiao came to school today for the first time. From now on, you will be classmates. I hope you can bring more of your sister Qiao Qiao along.”
The girl nodded and walked to Qiao Yunxi’s side. She held her hand and said, “Sister Qiao Qiao, my name is Peng Xue. I’m the youngest daughter of Peng Dafu, a tea merchant. If you don’t understand anything in the future, just ask me.”
Awkward.
What should we do?
Qiao Xi stared blankly at the little person in front of her.
Qiao Ningdai patted Qiao Yunxi’s little hand and comforted him, “Qiao Qiao, these are the children of shops that have a good relationship with Qiao Family. You guys should get along well.”
Qiao Xi shivered when she saw the child playing with the handkerchief.
After lunch, Qiao Yunxi knocked on the Headmaster’s room.
Fifteen minutes later, he returned with the homework assigned by the Headmaster.
As a student of Class D, he didn’t learn much, mainly the most basic three-character scripture, as well as some calligraphy skills.
Of course, the so-called calligraphy techniques were mainly copying.
Although Qiao Yunxi was a big and rough hitter, her calligraphy was still involved. In the words of her mother, who was determined to make her a lady, calligraphy could cultivate one’s sentiment and temper one’s temperament.
Just like martial arts, calligraphy requires a long-term process of persistence. Not only does it test a person’s willpower, but words are born from the heart. A person’s words can also reveal a person’s heart.
People who practiced martial arts were already impetuous and could easily use their emotions to do things. Practice of calligraphy was not only a kind of inner tempering, but also a kind of tempering and emotional control.
After class, Qiao Xi brought her homework and went home happily in the carriage.
When she returned to the Eastern Campus, she met a person she had forgotten-Concubine Bai-at the entrance of the flower hall.
In other words, Concubine Bai had been in the Eastern Campus for almost a month. Apart from the bedtime arranged by the old witch, Concubine Bai had never contacted Qiao Xingbang again.
Thinking about it, it was quite sad.
Concubine Bai stood beside Gu Jingshu.
Qiao Yunxi’s eyes widened in surprise.
Speaking of which, Concubine Bai had been in the Eastern Campus for almost a month. Gu Jingshu had never set any rules for Concubine Bai. Not only had she not been allowed to calm down at dawn, she had also not asked her to serve at the dining table.
Concubine Bai also claimed to be Old Madame’s person, so she did not put the people from the Eastern Campus in her eyes, let alone standing beside Gu Jingshu so obediently.
“Mother.” Qiao Xi ran towards Gu Jingshu with her short legs.
“Qiao Qiao is back.”
“Seventh Miss.” Concubine Bai blessed herself in a well-behaved manner.
Gu Jingshu pulled Qiao Xi to her side. “Are you used to it in the academy?”
Seeing Qiao Yunxi nod, Gu Jingshu felt relieved.
If it weren’t for the strict rules of the academy that only one attendant could be brought along, she would have wished she could arrange for all the maids in the courtyard to come over. Even between Forsythia Suspensa and Angelica Suspensa, she hesitated for a long time.
Lian Qiao had been by Qiao Xi’s side since childhood. She was the oldest and most stable. She sat in the position of the eldest maidservant and took good care of Qiao Xi’s daily life. Danggui Hui knew kung fu, so she was at ease following Qiao Xi. At the very least, she wasn’t worried that her daughter would be bullied.
After thinking for a while, she finally decided that Lian Qiao would follow Qiao Xi into the school and wait outside. Coupled with the fact that it was Uncle Quan who was responsible for picking Qiao Xi up, Gu Jingshu relaxed her snacks a little.
Even so, when she got close to Qiao Xi’s return, she urged Nanny Zhong to wait at the door and bring Qiao Xi back.
“Is there anything interesting in the school today?” Gu Jingshu asked casually.
Qiao Yunxi understood the temptation in her words and was worried that she would be bullied.
“Nothing special,” he replied. “Because it is my first time in the academy, there are many uncomfortable places. The Headmaster has privately looked for me and asked me to come to her every afternoon to make up for the previous ones. I believe that I will soon be able to keep up with everyone’s progress.”
Seeing that Qiao Yunxi couldn’t get to the point, Gu Jingshu simply asked, “What about the little friend?”
Gu Jingshu did not notice before. After she discovered that the other rooms had rejected Qiao Xi, she was very worried about Qiao Xi’s situation outside.
Fortunately, her body had almost recovered, and it was time for her to move. After all, she was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qiao Clan, the one who held the food in her hand.
The corner of Qiao Yunxi’s eyes curved, “Is everything alright? My daughter is in Class Ding now. She is younger than me in class, so I’m a little embarrassed.”
After saying that, Qiao Yunxi deliberately squeezed it.
Gu Jingshu comforted him indifferently, “It doesn’t matter. Let’s take it slow. Mother doesn’t want you to learn too much. You just need to know a few words.”
Concubine Bai secretly curled her lips.
Only Gu Jingshu dared to say that. Wasn’t she afraid that Qiao Yunxi, who couldn’t even read the books, would suffer in the future?
Qiao Xi smiled innocently, her gaze intentionally or unintentionally glancing at Concubine Bai.
Sensing her movements, Gu Jingshu shook her head amusedly, “Alright, did the Headmaster leave you some homework? Hurry up and do it. Your father and I will have a spot check later.”
Gu Jingshu asked Lian Qiao to bring Qiao Yunxi back after leaving behind a sentence that didn’t have much deterrence.
At dinner time, Concubine Bai stood beside Gu Jingshu and laid vegetables for her.
Unable to understand what she was going to sing, Qiao Yunxi looked at Gu Jingshu and Qiao Xingbang with an unclear expression, causing their eyes to turn pale.
Qiao Yunxi lowered his eyes resentfully.
She was still concerned about the couple, but she was disliked by others.
Just now, she had asked Huang Qi to secretly inquire about it. Taking advantage of her and Gu Jingshu’s absence, Concubine Bai could not seduce Qiao Xingbang. Instead, she was scolded by Qiao Xingbang.
No wonder Concubine Bai had been beside Gu Jingshu all day.
She was probably afraid that Gu Jingshu would settle the score after autumn.
I wonder what the old witch is doing?
Qiao Xi thought evilly, Concubine Bai is so disappointing, and the old witch won’t help?
Perhaps, it was brewing a new conspiracy.
Concubine Bai’s side was also filled with grievances.
Originally, she thought that Gu Jingshu and Qiao Yunxi had gone to Zhaojue Temple, so her chance had arrived.
Who would have thought that not only did he not put Qiao Xingbang to bed, but he had also caused him to lose so many people …
Thinking about it, he wished he could find a crack in the ground and get into it.
After dinner, the family went to Qiao Yunxi’s courtyard by taking a walk to eat. Qiao Xingbang checked her homework.
It was said to be homework, what kind of homework could Qiao Xi have on her first day of school?
It was just two big words.
