Qiao Xingbang said hello in advance, there is no need to do anything deliberately, as long as the bedroom is warm and clean.

The group entered the courtyard, Mama Zhong commanded the maid and the maid to move the boxes on the carriage into the bedroom and pack them up, the kitchen served hot tea, and Qiao Yixi had a cup of fruit tea in front of her.

Liu Ming made a brief report on the situation in Zhuangzi, and then asked: "I heard that the lord and the lady are coming to stay, and the tenants want to come and kowtow to the lord and the lady, and thank the lord and the lady for taking care of them for so many years." ”

The farmland that Gu Jingshu tenants went out was very good for farming, the harvest was very high, and the rent was not high, so the tenants around Zhuangzi lived a good life, except for the harvest in the field, when there was no farm work, they could find some work to do, and they could save a little silver every year, and their lives were not bad.

After knowing from Liu Ming that the masters were coming to stay, everyone discussed sending some home-grown vegetables and fruits, and then kowtowed to the master to thank him. Everyone is not a person without measure, and two or three respected people were selected as representatives, and they were already waiting outside Zhuangzi.

Seeing Qiao Xingbang nodding, Liu Ming let people in.

The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties, who had been farming all year round, and his complexion was dark, and although he was thin, he was very energetic.

said a few words of thanks, and took the people behind him to kowtow to Qiao Xingbang and Gu Jingshu three times.

After lunch, back to the bedroom to rest, Qiao Lixi took a few posts from Mama Feng, all of which were taken from the concierge when she went out today, and they were a few posts inviting her to a party.

Since Qiao Jinwen accidentally revealed that her grandfather's family is the Sichuan Xigu family, there have been many posts like this.

Qiao Lixi replied to the post politely and declined, explained the situation in the East Courtyard, and promised that after the East Courtyard was repaired, she would invite everyone to gather together.

Early the next morning, Qiao Lixi was woken up by Forsythia, and after cleaning up, she ate breakfast and got into the carriage in a daze.

The carriage was specially customized by Gu Jingshu for Qiao Yixi, it looks very ordinary on the outside, but there is a lot of good on the inside, and the configuration is comparable to the high-speed rail Gaohua carriage, which is low-key and luxurious.

Today's classmates are a lot more polite to Qiao Yixi, and even when the recess program - turning the flower rope, there are a few more friends who participate, and their words are much gentler than a few days ago, although there is still obvious disdain, but there is less positive-for-tat.

I don't know if it's because she temporarily moved out of Qiao's house, Gu Jingshu's style of acting is very different from the past, and she has changed her low-key behavior, although it is not public, but she also intentionally or unintentionally reveals her wealthy confidence.

Just like Qiao Lixi is wearing a jacket made of new Shu brocade in the "Shu Embroidery Pavilion" today, bright red, lining her fair little face is delicate, the head flower is a pattern from the palace, which is custom-made in "Jade Linglong", not an ordinary silk flower, it is a silk flower made of Hangzhou silk after special treatment, which is sprayed with a faint floral fragrance, not pungent, with Qiao Yixi's movement, exudes a faint floral fragrance, very fresh.

Qiao Lixi changed her previous elegance, wore a pair of pearl earrings on her earlobes, and hung a pig-shaped gold inlaid jade around her neck.

Qiao Lixi is a pig, this is when she was born, her grandfather specially ordered someone to build, it is said that she also invited a Taoist monk to open the light, before, because Qiao Jinwen has always liked plain dress, under her deliberate guidance, Qiao Lixi's clothes are also very elegant, not to mention the extra jewelry, even the slightly brighter material will not be worn on the body.

In addition, Mrs. Qiao has praised Qiao Jinwen's dress many times, and Qiao Lixi, who wants to be praised by her grandmother, is even more vigorous in imitating it.

In the afternoon, Qiao Jinwen took Qiao Ningdai to Qiao Lixi's room, and when she saw her dress, her eyes flashed.

"Qiaoqiao, why are you dressed so grandly today?" Intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes glanced at Qiao Yixi's earlobe.

In the Imperial Dynasty, pearls are not rare, but the color and size can be like Qiao Lixi, which is a fine product, and it is not something that can be bought with silver.

As far as she knew, Qiao Lixi had a box for such pearls, which was sent to her by her uncle, and Gu Jingshu made a set of pearl heads and a pearl shirt for Qiao Lixi.

"My mother said that when I was young, I should dress festively, so that people like it." Qiao Lixi said seriously.

His face was still so serious that he was expressionless.

"That's right," Qiao Jinwen nodded in agreement, "Qiao Qiao's outfit today is very suitable for you, and it makes people like it when they look at it." ”

"Jojo is really suitable for bright colors, look at this little face, red, I really want to take a bite." Qiao Ningdai pinched Qiao Yixi's face exaggeratedly.

Qiao Yixi frowned painfully, avoiding Qiao Ningdai's claws.

Qiao Jinwen's expression was unknown.

It stands to reason that such a gorgeous and flamboyant red, let alone children, is something that adults can't control, but when worn on Qiao Lixi, not only is it not vulgar, but it makes her bright facial features more coquettish.

Grow like this at a young age, and pay it back when you're older?

Qiao Jinwen knows that compared to appearance, she can't compare to Qiao Lixi, the fourth room is not as rich as the long room, and there is no extra silver to buy jewelry for her, so if she wants to trample Qiao Lixi under her feet, she can only use other methods.

Qiao's family is a businessman, with a copper smell, and the fourth room is on the path of the imperial examination, at least the way of the literati, so what Qiao Jinwen customized for herself is "immortal".

What is Immortal?

If you don't eat the fireworks in the world, you are immortals!

Not moved by wealth is an immortal!

So she was dressed in white, with no makeup, and high pride.

She is young, has good skin, and her facial features are not as delicate as Qiao Lixi's, but she is also exquisite. Coupled with her decent demeanor and elegance in her gestures, she is not only quite famous in the market, but also in Jincheng, she is also an existence that everyone looks up to.

Qiao Lixi is also deliberately guided by her and her mother, with low self-esteem, awkwardness, and an unpleasant temperament. Coupled with inappropriate dress, over time, Qiao Lixi has become a forgotten existence for everyone.

Originally, everything was moving towards their desired goal, but now there was an accident.

I don't know what kind of wind the people in the long house are smoking, and they want to renovate the east courtyard, but after learning two big characters, they have to get a study out, and they really dare to think about it.

Just Qiao Yixi's elm head, it's good to be able to write a few words!

Do you still expect her to come back with a top prize in the exam and glorify her ancestors?

"Eh, this pair of pearl earrings that Qiaoqiao wore was sent by Uncle Gu a few years ago, right?" Qiao Ningdai asked as if unintentionally.

Forsythia glanced at Qiao Yixi and said for her: "Miss Hui, what my young lady is wearing is the Hainan pearl sent by my uncle the year before last. ”

"I'll just say, only Hainan pearls can be so round and crystal bright. I remember, Uncle Gu sent a box, right? ”

Seeing Qiao Yixi nodding, Qiao Ningdai said unintentionally: "Pearls are good, compared to gold and silver, pearls are more noble." My grandmother also said that pearls are elegant and low-key, not as coppery as gold and silver jewelry, but more beautiful than gold and silver. Speaking of which, last time my grandmother also said that when I asked Uncle Gu for help to find a box of pearls, my grandmother wanted to make a set of noodles. ”

His eyes looked towards Qiao Yixi intentionally or unintentionally.

In the end, it's just a child, and I can't do it if I don't like it, and what I think in my heart will naturally be revealed on my face.

"My uncle is also lucky, and when he gets such a box, I will tell my uncle to see if I can find a box for my grandmother."

"It's almost the end of the year, and I don't know if it's too late," Qiao Ningdai sighed, "Grandmother is still thinking that when the year is over, she will wear a set of pearl heads and show her face in front of relatives and friends." ”

Talking excitedly here, there was no reaction at all, Qiao Ningdai couldn't hold her breath, and finally said clearly: "By the way, Qiaoqiao, don't you have a set of pearl heads there?" Just to honor my grandmother. ”

"But, is that okay?" Qiao Yixi said hesitantly.

"Naturally, it's okay," only after saying that, she realized that she was anxious, Qiao Ningdai paused, and then pretended to say, "It's best to give gifts to the other party's favorite." ”

"But is my pearl head custom-made for my situation, is it suitable for my grandmother?" Qiao Lixi asked deliberately.

"It's definitely inappropriate, your fifth sister is just talking," Qiao Jinwen poked Qiao Ningdai's head and said, "How could grandmother want your pearl head, the eldest aunt is specially customized for you, and the style is not suitable for grandmother." But ......"

As soon as the words changed, he still said in a warm tone, "If Qiao Qiao has a heart, he will definitely find a box of Hainan pearls for his grandmother." Grandmother has been talking about it several times this year, and if Jojo did it, Grandmother doesn't know how happy she would be, and maybe she would praise you a few words. ”

Qiao Lixi pouted.

She's not really stupid.

A box of Hainan pearls for a few innocuous compliments, really when her silver is blown by the wind.

Seeing that Qiao Lixi bit her lip and didn't speak, Qiao Jinwen didn't urge, with her understanding of Qiao Lixi, this idiot must have taken it to heart. As for how to get a box of Hainan pearls, hehe, there are so many pearls in that set of pearl heads and pearl shirts, just open a few and you can make a box.

The two sisters glanced at each other, they had long seen that this box of pearls was an eyesore, and this fool actually didn't send it to them obediently, so there was only filial piety to the ancestors.

"By the way, Qiaoqiao, Changfang now lives in Zhuangzi, is it convenient?" Qiao Ningdai put on a worried look, "Grandmother is very unhappy. ”

"Is there anything wrong?" Qiao Yixi asked sluggishly.

Qiao Ningdai nodded the tip of Qiao Yixi's nose, "You think, Zhuangzi is the marriage of the eldest uncle, the good Qiao family compound does not live, and the Zhuangzi who lives in the eldest uncle, I know, I understand that it is because of special reasons, I don't know, I thought that the uncle and the eldest uncle had a conflict, and the eldest uncle took you away." Grandmother is also distressed about the long house, afraid that bad rumors outside will affect you. “

"So what should I do?"

Sure enough, I took the bait.

Qiao Jinwen tucked the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief to hide the upturned curvature of the corners of her mouth.

"The Qiao family has its own inn, and it's okay for your family to stay for a while." Qiao Ningdai proposed.
