Soon, it was the day when Qiao's family held a celebration banquet.

Old Madam Qiao got up early in the morning and tossed.

Wearing clothes that are more festive than the New Year, he brought that set of red coral head noodles and sat in the flower hall beautifully.

Those who arrived early said flattering words, and the frown on Old Madam Qiao's face had no chance to stretch at all, and it was like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Qiao Linzi came a few days ago, under the banner of helping to prepare the banquet, and was picky for a long time.

In the end, Gu Jingshu, as a kind sister-in-law, gave the silver to Qiao Linzi and asked her to make her own.

As a result, all budgets have been increased by 10%.

Qiao Linzi is determined to show off, so she won't care if the remaining silver is enough for the Qiao family to last for two months.

In her concept, the silver in the long house is inexhaustible, and those in the public are just a little pocket money, which is used by her mother and her, and if it is not enough, the long house will make up for it.

Knowing her sister-in-law's thoughts, Gu Jingshu didn't break it, and only recorded the accounts one by one.

Qiao Lixi was picked up from the bed by Mama Feng early in the morning, put on new clothes, wore a pair of agate earrings, and wore a gold lock given by Mrs. Gu around her neck.

This is Mrs. Gu's birthday gift to Qiao Lixi, and the golden lock has been made into the appearance of a piglet, which is cute and dazzling.

"Yo, our little golden pig is here." Qiao Xingbang deliberately teased.

Qiao Yixi rolled her eyes, "Daddy is bad, don't talk to Daddy." ”

Qiao Xingbang looked at Gu Jingshu bitterly, "My daughter ignores me." ”

"Well deserved!" Gu Jingshu glared at Qiao Xingbang with disgust.

Qiao Yixi covered her mouth, her dark eyes rolling slightly.

Since Gu Jingshu's health has improved, the relationship with Qiao Xingbang has also become better and better.

The two are in free love, have an emotional foundation, Qiao Xingbang is responsible, and really love Gu Jingshu. Before, because there were not many days at home, although the two were in love, the days of getting together less and leaving more affected the relationship to some extent.

Now, the two have lived for a long time, and after the second sublimation of their relationship, it is better than when they first got married.

When the family arrived at the front, Qiao Xingbang helped to receive the male guests, and Gu Jingshu and Qiao Lixi were in the flower hall of the second courtyard.

Qiao Linzi was talking to the woman next to her exaggeratedly, dressed in gold, and before she entered the door, she saw that she was emitting golden light all over her body. She wore a luxurious head on her head, which was incompatible with her dress and temperament.

Although it is a dragon and phoenix fetus, Qiao Linzi is more like an old witch, and even the high-profile tone and raised eyebrows of the two of them are exactly the same.

No wonder the old witch favored her.

"Jojo is here." Qiao Linzi glanced at Qiao Lixi, beckoned to her, and took out a red envelope, "During the Chinese New Year, you were at your grandfather's house, and your aunt didn't see you, so you kept the New Year's money. ”

The woman next to her hurriedly stammered: "Qiaoqiao, you see, your aunt loves you so much, and she deliberately keeps the New Year's money for you." ”

"Thank you, auntie." In front of outsiders, Qiao Lixi is still very sensible.

"Qiaoqiao went back to his grandfather's house this time, where did he go to play?"

"I went to a lot of places, and my cousin took me to eat snacks, but it was delicious." Pretending to be tender or something, Qiao Yixi has no teacher.

Qiao Linzi said in a coaxing tone: "It's so powerful, Qiao Qiao has been to so many places and eaten so many delicious foods, is it for my aunt's share?" ”

"Yes," Qiao Yixi said in a milky voice, "Qiao Qiao brought souvenirs to her aunt and cousin, and her father also prepared New Year's money for her cousin." Daddy said that the second brother and Cousin Rui are now children, and they will be Xiucai in a short time, and they are the first of our Qiao family and the Li family, and Daddy also said that the second brother and Cousin Rui are the hope of the Qiao family and the Li family. ”

Who wouldn't say good things?

didn't get the answer she wanted, Qiao Linzi's face was not good, she glanced at the woman beside her who was sparing no effort and was extremely flattering, and said, "Qiaoqiao, this time you brought back the birthday gift that your little uncle gave you?" ”

"Auntie mean the boat parked at the pier?"

"Yes, that's the best painting boat in Shuzhou, my aunt heard that it was Qiaoqiao's little uncle who specially asked someone from the Gao family to make it."

Qiao Yixi was confused.

Qiao Linzi explained: "The Gao family is dedicated to making warships for the Ministry of War, since the previous dynasty, the Gao family has been the imperial merchants, and in the imperial dynasty, the Ministry of War has also been requisitioning the warships of the Gao family. The army of the imperial dynasty was invincible at sea, and half of the credit was due to the warships of the Gao family. ”

"So powerful?" Qiao Yixi really doesn't know this.

"Of course. Qiaoqiao, your cousin Rui was admitted to Tongsheng, what are you going to give? Turning the subject again.

"The inkstone, Qiaoqiao is ready, Qiaoqiao specially went to the study to buy it."

"Inkstone, your cousin Rui has no shortage of inkstones."

"Ah, what then?" Qiao Yixi wrinkled her little face, "Third sister, what did they send?" ”

Qiao Lixi has always looked at Qiao Jinwen first, and this sentence can't be asked by Qiao Linzi's surprise.

"It's good to send anything, what matters is Qiaoqiao's heart, Cousin Rui loves Qiaoqiao the most."

"Sincerity," Qiao Yixi buried her head and thought about it, "What Cousin Rui wants, within Qiao Qiao's ability, it is still possible." ”

"My aunt knew that Jojo was a good boy. Qiaoqiao, your cousin Rui is now a child, and you also know that Tongsheng is very status, although the Li family is also a big family, and there is no shortage of silver, but in terms of relationship, it is much worse than your grandfather's family, and some things are that we have silver, and we can't buy it if we have no way. Now your cousin Rui's identity is different, and you have to have something to support the façade. ”

"What my aunt said, Qiao Qiao doesn't understand," Qiao Yixi said in disappointment, "Qiao Qiao doesn't have so much silver, and he can't buy things that are suitable for Cousin Rui's identity." ”

Your Li family can't buy it, how can she have enough pocket money for a little girl.

"Qiaoqiao, in a few days, your cousin Rui will invite his classmates to celebrate, and many famous children of the family will also come."

So?

Qiao Yixi tilted her head and looked at Qiao Linzi.

"Qiao Qiao doesn't want the Qiao family and the Li family to lose face, right."

Qiao Yixi nodded.

Qiao Linzi said with a smile: "So, my aunt wants to feast on your second brother and Cousin Rui's classmates at Qiao Qiao's painting boat." ”

Qiao Yixi bared her teeth, and she was really tired after going around such a big circle.

"Of course, we'll have to use those boatmen then."

The tone of the words is not ashamed, and the look of course.

"That's right," Qiao Lixi said disapprehantly, "Cousin Rui's admission to the Tongsheng is a big event, and we must celebrate it well." The painting boat is also put away, Cousin Rui wants to use it, just say it in advance, Qiaoqiao is ready. ”

"Then Auntie, thank you Qiaoqiao first."

Getting the answer she wanted, Qiao Linzi left satisfied, she still had a lot of guests to entertain.

"Miss......" Huang Qi said to Qiao Lixi boldly: "Auntie and grandma are only in and out, and if the painting boat is lent to her, Miss may not be able to get it back." ”

That's true.

Qiao Linzi didn't pull out a hair, only she took someone else's, and others didn't want to get a hair from her.

Over the years, Mrs. Qiao has privately supplemented her affairs, and everyone in several rooms knows about it, but no one dares to mention it. Qiao Linzi is also a thick-skinned person, if she falls in love with something in which room, she will ask for it directly, and if she doesn't succeed, she will run to her mother and cry.

Old Mrs. Qiao felt sorry for her daughter, and as soon as Chrysostom opened, as a son and an elder brother, she would naturally offer things with both hands. Especially the big house, Qiao Linzi has taken a lot of good things from the big house over the years, all of which are used to decorate the façade.

She wanted silver, but she married the Li family, the largest medicinal herb merchant in Jincheng, and she was not so short of silver that she needed her daughter-in-law to reach out to her mother's family.

If you can't find a big house, you can only find your mother.

Over the years, Old Madam Qiao has used a lot of silver in the public to make up a lot, and Qiao Linzi thinks more and more that she deserves it, so she doesn't feel shameless when she coaxes Qiao Yixi to come.

Therefore, Huang Qi reminded her that according to the temperament of this aunt, I don't know what reason she will find to push back and not return the painting boat when the time comes.

"It's a big deal for the second brother and Cousin Rui to be admitted to the children's school, I can't be disappointed, right? It's just borrowing my place to hold a party, how can I, as a sister, not support it? My aunt is a sensible person, how could she encroach on my niece's things, don't worry, it'll be fine. ”

Huang Qi wanted to say a few more words, but when she saw the forsythia who looked wrong on the side, she quietly pulled her sleeve, "What's wrong with you, it's not right to get up today, you're sick?" ”

"Nope." Forsythia hurriedly shook his head.

Astragalus glanced at her more, "No, I'll see." ”

After testing the body temperature on Forsythia's forehead with his hand to make sure that there was no abnormality, Astragalus said: "You, be careful, if you are sick, go drink medicine and rest, don't be sick and give it to Miss." Miss's body and bones are better, and she can't be sloppy. ”

"My business, I have a sense of proportion, you take care of me."

Joke tone.

Forsythia is a big girl, and astragalus is a second-class girl, which seems to be not much different, but there is a difference in identity after all.

It was also these two people who followed Qiao Yixi since they were young, and their feelings were different, so they spoke more casually.

Qiao Yixi walked around the flower hall, was pinched countless times, and after teasing the clothes on her body, she finally had a chance to go out and gasp.

"Jojo."

Seeing Qiao Jinwen's serious expression, Qiao Lixi couldn't help but look solemn.

Qiao Jinwen glanced left and right vigilantly, and seemed to have something in her arms.

Qiao Ningdai, who followed closely, also looked like a thief.

Receiving Qiao Jinwen's signaling eyes, Qiao Lixi said to Astragalus: "You wait here, Forsythia will follow me." ”

The three sisters arrived in a remote place.

Qiao Jinwen took out a paper bag that was only half the size of a palm from her sleeve cage and handed it to Qiao Yixi, "Qiao Qiao, put it away." ”

"Third sister, this is ......"

"Your fifth sister bought ......"

Qiao Yixi immediately understood, hurriedly took it, and handed it to Forsythia.

"Third sister, today?"

Seeing Qiao Jinwen nodding, Qiao Lixi asked hesitantly, "There are so many people today." ”
