Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 53
Chapter 53 Coffin Wood
Qiao Family’s inn?
Isn’t that Fannie’s property?
Qiao Yunxi cast a gloomy glance at Qiao Ningdai.
Her original personality was so gloomy, Qiao Ningdai did not think too much about her gaze.
“Then I’ll talk to Mother.”
‘”Qiao Qiao, you can’t say that we said it,” Qiao Ningdai said in a low voice. “Otherwise, Eldest Uncle would have thought that we were encouraging you. Your third sister and I are also doing it for your own good. Grandmother doesn’t want to live in a long room. If she moves to the manor again, Grandmother will have a problem.” By the way, Qiao Qiao, I heard that Eldest Uncle is going to get you a small bridge in the east courtyard? ”
“That’s what Daddy said. I don’t know the specifics. It should be ready in a year. I’ll know when the time comes.”
“What project? It will take three months?” Qiao Ningdai said with delight, but she did not dwell on this matter.
After sending off Qiao San and Qiao Wu, Qiao Xi prepared for the afternoon class.
Racial studies did not simply read death books. Courses for learning were arranged in the morning, and in the afternoon, most of the courses were focused on physical training.
Holding the bow and arrow in her hand, Qiao Xi was excited.
Originally, he thought that he was going to learn how to be a girl, but he didn’t expect that he would have the chance to touch a familiar weapon. The restless factor in Qiao Yunxi’s body was shouting loudly.
Her little face, which was twisted because of her excitement, looked really strange.
‘”Don’t worry, Qiao Qiao,” Yang Xiaoru said, raising her chin like a big sister. “The Headmaster told us to play this kind of activity by ourselves. I’ll teach you slowly later.”
In order to prove her strength, Yang Xiaoru pulled her bow hard and showed off her strength.
Qiao Xi smacked her tongue, not realizing that this little girl was a tough one!
Looking at the surprise in Qiao Yunxi’s eyes with satisfaction, Yang Xiaoru stretched her neck a little.
“Qiao Qiao, we can play polo when we get promoted to Class A.” Peng Xue comforted.
A group of little fellows stood in the courtyard, learning to draw a bow like the Headmaster. Although it was an empty bow, it was still very strenuous for these children.
The familiar touch made Qiao Yunxi eager to try, but after trying to pull a few times, he gave up dispiritedly.
This body is still too weak.
Although Danggui started his recovery training with the excuse of exercising his body, his foundation was still a bit weak, and he wouldn’t be able to recover in a short period of time.
Qiao Yunxi’s requirements weren’t high. She didn’t want to reach the peak of her pre-wear state, but she could at least protect herself.
The condition of Qiao’s parents’ room is not very good. According to her experience from watching TV dramas, Qiao Family is going to be in a mess soon. At that time, I wonder what kind of moth I will encounter. Body is the capital of revolution. Without a good body, how can I fight against this herd of cattle, ghosts, and snakes?
“Qiao Qiao changed the carriage?”
Outside the school, Qiao Jinwen saw Qiao Yunxi’s carriage with sharp eyes.
“Is it Golden Silk Nanmu?” An inadvertent tone.
“Golden Nanmu? Isn’t that a coffin?” After saying that, Qiao Ningdai covered her mouth and looked apologetically at Qiao Xi. “Qiao Qiao, don’t worry, Fifth Sister is talking nonsense. Eldest Uncle Niang loves you so much. Why would she make a carriage out of wood for your coffin?”
Qiao Yunxi’s face was still paralyzed, and his dark eyes were crystal clear.
Qiao Jinwen gently rubbed her head. “Qiao Qiao, your Fifth Sister is straightforward. Don’t worry about what she said. Golden Nanmu is good wood. Even if you have money, you can’t buy it. Auntie also loves you so much that she used such good wood to make a carriage for you.”
Qiao Yunxi nodded seriously. “Fifth Sister said that this is good wood for coffins. Why don’t I give it to grandmother? Grandmother will definitely like such a good thing. At that time, I will definitely tell grandmother that it was Fifth Sister who suggested it.”
“Qiao Qiao!” Qiao Ningdai nervously called out to her, “Little girl, you actually know how to arrange your Fifth Sister! Fifth Sister is just straightforward, so you should take revenge on me, right? This golden nanmu has already been made into a carriage. Could it be that you even dismantled the carriage? It’s not such a waste to have good things!”
“Then what should we do?” Qiao Xi asked blankly.
“What else can you do? Keep it for yourself.” Qiao Ningdai spread her hands out innocently.
So, the pearl head can be removed, but the carriage can’t?
Qiao Yunxi laughed innocently.
Gold-threaded nanmu was indeed a rare good wood material. In history, gold-threaded nanmu was used exclusively for the buildings and furniture of royal palaces and a few temples. Of course, those with more money were also used as coffins.
Since Qiao Ningdai said that this was a coffin, she naturally wanted to give it to Old hag. It was up to her whether she dared to take it or not!
“Qiao Qiao, let’s go together,” said Qiao Ningdai with a smile. “Grandmother has been talking about you these past two days. You should go back and see Grandmother too. There’s no reason for you to be happy in the manor by yourself.”
It was originally a joke, but the taste changed when it came out.
“Fifth sister, aren’t you afraid that this carriage is made of coffins? Is it bad luck?” Qiao Yunxi asked seriously.
Qiao Ningdai’s expression changed slightly. “Qiao Qiao, you have a fight with Fifth Sister today, haven’t you? Fifth Sister is doing it for your own good. Grandmother is worried that you won’t get used to it in the manor, so she can’t ask you to go back and ask you a few questions.”
It was time for school to end. There were many carriages parked at the entrance of the clan school. They were all here to pick up their young master and young miss. Qiao Ningdai’s words fluttered into the ears of these people.
“Qiao Yunxi moved to the manor?” Sure enough, someone answered.
Qiao Yunxi turned around and saw that it was the little fatty who had been protecting him that day.
Qiao Xi looked at Qiao Xi with disdain and said with high spirits, “Ugly people are always acting strange. Qiao Xi, you can’t live in the Eastern Campus properly. Why are you moving to the manor?”
“What does it have to do with you?” Qiao Xi said arrogantly.
After studying for a few days in the clan, she did not eat dry meals. She had a good grasp of her classmates’ background. This little fatty owned a restaurant, and the “first-grade building” she ate last time belonged to the little fatty’s family.
The “first-grade building” was very famous in Shu Prefecture. Almost every place had it. It could be said to be a symbolic industry. It was said that a year ago, there was also one in the capital. Business was good. After all, Sichuan cuisine was also a big cuisine, and its heritage was there.
As the Young Master of the “First Stage Building”, Little Fatty was worthy of his image. His short stature was not bad at first glance. Although he wasn’t tall, he was the same age as Qiao Yunxi. The reason he was still in Class Ding was because his IQ was limited and he couldn’t upgrade.
However, Little Fatty did not feel that this was embarrassing. He pretended to be an uncle in front of a group of little radish heads and relied on his own tonnage and age to dominate Class Ding. But ever since Qiao Yunxi arrived at Class Ding, Fatty had a sense of crisis.
The two of them were about the same age, and their IQ was estimated to be about the same. Little Fatty thought that Qiao Yunxi’s arrival threatened his position as the overlord of Class Ding, so he targeted him everywhere.
At this moment, when Chati heard that Qiao Xi had moved to the manor, her shrewd eyes rolled and she thought that her chance had arrived.
‘”Qiao Yunxi, what are you talking about?” Kim Bai-jin shouted on the street with his loud voice. “We’re classmates, right? I don’t care about you. I heard that you moved to the manor. Did your mother give your father a look?”
Jin Baijin’s words were well-founded. At home, as long as mother was dissatisfied with father, she would bring maidservant and granny back to her mother’s house.
Qiao Yunxi’s mother, her mother’s home is in the west of Sichuan. It’s very inconvenient to return to her mother’s home, so she can only live in the manor.
“Actually, it’s not a big deal. Let your father admit his mistake and take your mother back. It’s fine.” Jin Baijin patted Qiao Xi’s shoulder and comforted her with an experienced tone. “As a family, it doesn’t matter who lowers their heads first. Most importantly, they can’t be laughed at by outsiders.”
Qiao Yunxi looked at him strangely.
Jin Baijin said to himself and continued, “Your mother and daughter live in the manor. How many pairs of eyes are watching your father’s jokes outside? Men always want face. Also, aren’t you and your mother taking advantage of those concubines around your father when they are in the manor?”
Raising his eyebrows at Qiao Xi, Little Fatty gave Qiao Xi a look of “you know”.
“Who told you that my mother and I live in the manor?”
“Isn’t it your Fifth Sister?” Jin Baijin pointed at Qiao Ningdai and said.
“My father is also in the manor.”
“Ah, your father is quite conscious.” Jin Baijin nodded with an instructive look.
Qiao Xi was too lazy to bother with boring people. She turned around and said to Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai, “Third sister, fifth sister, I’m going back to the manor. Grandmother, I’ll be there in a few days. I’m afraid Fifth sister won’t be willing to sit in my carriage today.”
“En, make your own decision,” Qiao Jinwen said with a regretful expression. “Also, Grandmother likes Hainan Pearl. Don’t forget to tell Eldest Uncle that living in the manor is not a good thing. There will be misunderstandings. Third Sister will keep the room for you at the inn.”
Qiao Yunxi sneered.
Living in a manor would be misunderstood, so living in an inn would not be misunderstood?
Depending on Old hag’s temperament, he would definitely ask Qiao Xingbang for money for the accommodation.
Family?
The old witch only treated Fourth Bedroom as a family.
Eldest branch?
It was just a tool for the Qiao Family to earn money.
On the carriage, Qiao Xi could feel Qiao Qiao’s hesitant gaze. She opened her sleeping eyes and looked over.
Lian Qiao’s heart trembled.
In front of outsiders, Young Miss was still dumbfounded, as if she was still easily toyed with by Third Young Miss and Fifth Young Miss. However, she was the only one who knew that the current young miss was no longer the young miss that was casually taken care of in the past.
She did not know whether such a young miss was good or bad. To tell the truth, she was very afraid of such a young miss, but she liked such a young miss. In the midst of contradictions, Lian Qiao could not figure out her own thoughts.
Qiao Xi felt helpless when she saw that the person in front of her was still wandering in the void. She could only say, “What do you want to say?”
‘”Miss, please don’t take the words of Third Miss and Fifth Miss seriously. Old Madame likes pearls, just look for another box. If you open your pearl head, Madam will be very sad. It was specially made for you by Madam. Although Uncle won’t say anything, it is a token of his gratitude. Besides …”
She sneaked a glance at Qiao Xi and saw that her expression was normal, so Lian Qiao forced herself to say, “Besides, even if you took off the pearl head, the matriarch would also dislike it. She said that it was used by you, Miss.”
After saying that, he didn’t dare to raise his head.
