Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 80
Chapter 80 Number One Tyrant in West Sichuan
“Alright, it’s good that you’re back. It’s good that you’re back.” Old Madame Gu choked.
“Qiao Qiao, I’m your little uncle.” Gu Shijun broke the silence.
“I am your little aunt.” The middle-aged woman beside Gu Shijun smiled and blinked at Qiao Yunxi.
“Little uncle, little aunt.”
After exchanging a few words, Old Master Gu brought the men to the outer courtyard. All the women stayed behind, along with Qiao Yunxi’s cousins.
“Mother.” Gu Jingshu sat beside Old Madame Gu.
Old Madame Gu examined it carefully before she said with confidence, “I can see that you and Qiao Qiao are in good health. I’m finally relieved.”
‘”My daughter and Qiao Qiao are quite competitive this year. They didn’t lie down as soon as winter arrived, so they came back years ago. Qiao Qiao has only returned once since she was so old. It’s my fault as a daughter that I didn’t let the child come back to accompany you.” Looking at Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li, Gu Jingshu said sincerely, “Thanks to sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, not only did my little sister-in-law not help, she also dragged everyone down.”
“What are these words?” Zhang shi glanced at Gu Jingshu straightforwardly. “Family, why are you so clear? You are Shi Yang’s younger sister, and you are also my younger sister. I should do more. In the past, you came back less because your health was not good, but now your body is better. If you really feel guilty, then come back and live for a while longer and help me share the burden.”
“That’s for sure.” Gu Jingshu knew that Mrs. Zhang was afraid that she would have a psychological burden, so she said so.
When sister-in-law and second sister-in-law married, she was still young and got along well with the two sisters-in-law. Even if she got married and her parents gave her so much dowry and dowry, not only did the two sisters-in-law not complain, they even took the initiative to add makeup and gave her a shop.
Which sister-in-law can be so generous?
She slipped and hurt herself, It was also the two sisters-in-law who came to take care of her for more than a month. Afterwards, she was unable to conceive. The two sisters-in-law helped her find a lot of prescriptions and gave her a lot of good medicinal ingredients. It was not easy to conceive Qiao Qiao. The second sister-in-law rushed to Jincheng without stopping and accompanied her for more than a month.
Gu Jingshu knew that she was delicate.
Before leaving the pavilion, with the love of her parents and brothers, she could be said to have had a smooth journey. Even if she followed her mother to learn how to run the family, she was still in a relaxed environment, so her temperament had always been very soft. Even if she married Qiao Xingbang and had a lot of responsibilities as eldest branch’s eldest daughter-in-law, Old Madam Qiao was used to being in control, and she didn’t have much power in her hands, so she was happy and relaxed. Afterwards, because of her health, she could be considered a very low-key existence in Qiao Family. She did not deliberately make things difficult for her elders, nor did she feel jealous of her sister-in-law.
It wasn’t until she saw with her own eyes what had happened to her daughter who had been implicated because of her concession that she came to a complete realization.
Gu Jingshu withdrew her slack thoughts and the smile on her face became even brighter.
Old Madame Gu was also very gratified when she noticed her daughter’s change.
“What happened to Qiao Qiao’s eyes?” Mrs. Zhang endured it for a long time. Before, the atmosphere was not good, so she didn’t ask. Now, she finally couldn’t help it.
“I’m hurt.” Gu Jingshu also sighed.
“Why are you injured?” Old Madame Gu held Qiao Yunxi in his arms and looked at Gu Jingshu discontentedly.
Gu Jingshu said helplessly, “During Laba, I followed Marquis Zhen Yuan’s wife to serve porridge at the Earth Temple. There was an accident halfway.”
“Marquis Zhen Yuan’s wife? Has Qiao Family climbed the high branch?” Because he didn’t like Old Madame Qiao, Old Madame Gu’s tone wasn’t very good.
“It’s a long story” Gu Jingshu briefly explained what had happened.
Old Madame Gu said unfairly, “Alright, my Qiao Qiao saved the wrong person. Who is that? What do you mean?”
Old Madame Gu’s “who” was naturally Gu Jinzhen.
“Qiao Qiao, don’t be afraid. If that person dares to attack you again and directly slaps you, so what if his identity is noble? His identity is noble and he can’t be without laws! We can’t kill him openly, but we will kill him secretly!”
Powerful!
Qiao Yunxi’s eyes lit up. With such a powerful grandmother, could she do whatever she wanted?
“Mother” A dissatisfied voice sounded. Only those who could chat happily found a few ignored little men.
Mrs. Zhang waved to Qiao Yunxi, “Qiao Qiao, come, these are your cousins …”
The few men immediately straightened their chests and retracted their abdomens.
The first time you see your cousin, you must show your best side.
Grandfather had already said that their cousin was a girl. They had to speak softly and not frighten their cousin.
Also, be gentle and don’t roll up your sleeves if you don’t agree. That’s rude behavior. Be gentle in front of your cousin, gentle!
“Qiao Qiao, this is your cousin Gu Pingxin, your second cousin Gu Pingjie, and your third cousin Gu Pingqing.”
“Big cousin, second cousin, third cousin.” Qiao Xi was obedient and blessed the three young men.
The three of them immediately blushed. Little cousin looked delicate and small, and the wind would blow and she would fall.
Previously, when they saw such a weak girl, they all scoffed and rolled their eyes in disgust. However, when they arrived at Little Cousin, they felt that Little Cousin was completely different from those girls.
The weakness of those girls seemed to be artificial, completely made. The little cousin was delicate in her bones, much more pleasing to the eyes than those pretentious young ladies.
Most importantly, her cousin was pretty and had a long face!
“Is there anything to be wary of with the injury at the corner of Qiao Qiao’s eye? Are you still drinking medicine?” After being interrupted by a few brats, Mrs. Zhang asked again.
“It’s already scabbed. I’ve been applying medicine. This time, I’ve been sticking to the gauze because I’m afraid the road will be windy and freeze.”
“That’s good,” Mrs. Zhang nodded. “Alright, you guys can’t wait any longer. Qiao Qiao, take a look around with your cousins.”
The few men were already unable to sit still, and upon receiving the orders of their elders, they immediately led Qiao Xi towards the backyard.
“Qiao Qiao, Knowing that you’re coming back, Grandmother has already been ordered to tidy up. This time, the courtyard where your aunt stayed before leaving the pavilion is the best courtyard of the Gu Clan. Grandmother has kept it for her aunt. The things inside have not been touched. She will have people clean it up every few days. This time, there are many more things. Go and see if you are dissatisfied. Tell big cousin that big cousin will help you buy them. ”
‘”Just your taste,” Gu Pingjie said sarcastically. “I think it’s better to forget it. It’s either big red or big green. It’s very eye-catching. Qiao Qiao, if you have something to ask Second Cousin, there’s nothing you can’t handle. If anyone dares to bully you, just directly report Second Cousin’s name.”
‘”Qiao Qiao, Qiao Qiao,” Gu Pingqing was the youngest. His abilities weren’t as strong as his two older brothers, but he couldn’t show weakness in front of his younger cousin. “Third cousin can also help you. I have a lot of good things that my father brought back from a trip that the dynasty doesn’t have. You can go and choose a few later. If you like them, third cousin will give them to you.”
Qiao Yunxi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but she could feel the kindness of her three cousins.
The next day, Qiao Yunxi woke up early in the morning and made an appointment to go shopping with his three cousins.
Chaotian Sect was under the control of the Gu Clan. The adults were relieved that the few children went out alone. Besides, there were also maids and wives following them.
The maids and wives of the Gu Clan knew how to fight, so there was no need to worry with them.
Qiao Yunxi was curious about everything. Without adults to follow him, the children were very satisfied. They had to go to the snack street. They had to try a mouthful as well. After walking down the street, Qiao Yunxi could no longer hold on any longer.
“Qiao Qiao, this is a fish market.” “Not everyone is qualified to fish,” Gu Pingxin told Qiao Xi. “Before we go down the river, we have to pay a management fee. The boat launches from our Gu Clan’s pier and docks at our Gu Clan’s pier when it comes back. We will be responsible for the safety of the boat and cargo until the transaction is completed. However, we have to charge another fee. Our Gu Clan’s warehouse is near the dock. ”
“What’s the difference between this and the Cao Gang?” Qiao Yunxi listened very carefully, so he asked very carefully.
“Yuzhou is very special. Because of the restriction of the geographical environment, we can say that there is a lack of communication between Yuzhou and the outside world. The Cao Gang is indeed very powerful, but its strength cannot reach the Chaotian Gate. It can be said that this section of the Jialing River belongs to Gu Family.”
Qiao Yunxi nodded.
Chaotianmen Wharf is the largest entrance and exit of Yuzhou and Shuzhou external traffic, monopolistic operation.
“However, the Gu Clan is so powerful. The government …”
‘”Officials protect each other. The Gu Clan manages quite a lot every year. Besides, the Gu Clan’s influence is spread throughout the Chaotian Sect. Right now, those who are officials are not wise enough to protect themselves. They only hope that nothing big will happen during their term of office. The official path will be smooth. Being an official in the Chaotian Sect, it is up to our Gu Clan to decide whether or not they can continue.”
Gu Pingxin’s words weren’t exaggerated at all. The Gu Clan really had this ability.
Qiao Yunxi nodded.
Although they knew the strength of the Gu Clan, the people did not fight with the officials. Those who were not easy to manipulate and control were the major troubles in the hearts of the officials, and they also wanted to get rid of them the most. According to Eldest Cousin’s words, the Gu Clan had great prestige in the Chaotian Sect, so it was good that they wouldn’t be targeted by the government.
After a round, the group arrived at the restaurant.
“This restaurant is owned by Big Cousin. Whatever Qiao Qiao wants to eat, order whatever you want.” Gu Pingxin had a complacent expression.
Qiao Yunxi couldn’t help but glance at him.
Gu Pingxin was only sixteen years old. He said that he was not old, and that he was not young. Perhaps he would do some small business with the support of his elders, but he could open a restaurant. Such a large sum of money was truly surprising.
Gu Pingxin was even more complacent when he saw the admiration in his younger cousin’s eyes. “This restaurant was prepared by my eldest cousin and a few friends years ago. My eldest cousin is the biggest shareholder. He has been operating for almost a year and his business is not bad. It’s just not enough.”
Whoosh.
Qiao Yunxi looked at the menu seriously.
They were all home-cooked dishes and didn’t take the high-end route.
The people of Yuzhou and Shuzhou liked to eat spicy food, especially the people of Yuzhou. Their hot temper was also derived from eating spicy food.
