"That's it," Qiao Yixi nodded thoughtfully, "Qiao Qiao also asked Shi Ziye before, these backyards are all standardized, and Shi Ziye also said that grandmother is a very strict person, she will not mess with the rules, and she will not be shallow and greedy for her daughter-in-law's things." My mother also realized her mistake and made this decision. This year in my grandfather's house, my grandmother taught Qiao Qiao a lot, Qiao Qiao understood that her mother's previous behavior was very inappropriate, if the third aunt thought that Qiao Qiao's grandmother's New Year's gift was not in line with the rules, then please ask your grandmother to make a list and say the specifications, and in the future, our rooms will be in accordance with the specifications set by our grandmother. ”

With the standard, everyone comes according to the standard, anyway, the Gu family is rich, and I am afraid that the mother's family of these aunts will not be able to afford it.

Even if she can afford it, the old witch doesn't have the face to open her mouth!

Anyway, the Qiao family treats all rooms equally, and the long house will not be specialized, and it will not be wronged again.

"Qiaoqiao has been back to Chaotianmen for a month and has learned a lot of things." If the meaning of Ganwan is unclear, the sarcasm should not be too obvious.

Qiao Yixi looked proud, "Yes, this time Qiao Qiao learned a lot from her grandmother and benefited a lot." ”

"Okay," the old witch couldn't hold back, "the fourth daughter-in-law, you put things in order, register them and put them in the warehouse." ”

This is not going to be divided among the other people.

The crowd was disappointed.

You must know that the New Year's gift given by the Gu family is a good thing, even if there are not many gifts this year, there is no shortage of high-quality products.

"Okay, you've worked hard all the way, let's go back and rest first."

Out of sight and out of mind, Old Madam Qiao waved her hand, and everyone went back to their respective courtyards.

The east courtyard has been repaired, not much has changed, a few plum trees have been added, and they are blooming brightly.

The biggest change is in the East Courtyard.

As soon as she returned to the courtyard, Qiao Lixi was stunned.

The east courtyard was divided into two, the front yard imitated the Jiangnan garden, and it was hard to get a miniature version of the small bridge flowing water, in that tree, it is said that it took Qiao Xingbang nearly a thousand taels of silver to transplant it back, and under the hundred-year-old ginkgo tree, a study was built.

It seems simple and casual, but the study built of bamboo has a lot of things inside.

All kinds of exquisite furnishings, several master-level paintings and calligraphy on the wall, and some of them are still antique-level.

The corners of Qiao Lixi's forehead twitched, the pressure was too great.

The backyard is Qiao Lixi's bedroom, which has not been changed much, but there are a few more pots of rare flowers.

"Qiaoqiao, if there is anything that needs to be changed, you can tell Dad." Qiao Xingbang was also very satisfied with the changes in the East Courtyard.

"There's nothing to change, Dad, Jojo is satisfied."

The daughter's sensibility and intimacy made Qiao Xingbang very pleased, "Then Qiaoqiao will clean up first, if there is anything, we will talk about it later." ”

Qiao Lixi didn't have many things to sort out, so Mama Feng quickly arranged the manpower and secretly glanced at Mama Shen beside Qiao Lixi.

Qiao Lixi is clear about Mama Feng's thoughts.

This time when she came back from Chaotianmen, she brought back a lot of people, in addition to Mama Shen's family, there were several families, all of whom were borrowed from Mrs. Gu, of course, the eldest uncle also sent a few people to prepare for the development of the shop in the future.

These people were all arranged on Gu Jingshu's Zhuangzi, and when she thought of a plan, she would distribute the manpower.

It's just that Mama Shen has always been with her.

Because she didn't specifically arrange work for Mama Shen, and Mama Shen was the first person next to Mrs. Gu, Mama Feng had a sense of crisis.

At the beginning, Mama Feng was ahead of Mama Shen in everything, and she had a lot of thoughts about competing for favor.

As Qiao Yixi's nurse, Mama Feng is very self-aware.

She has no great ability, she can't help Miss anything, if it weren't for her duty all these years, the long house would not have left her.

She is not the old lady's person, nor is she the person next to the eldest lady, she can occupy a place in the east courtyard, and it is the young lady's unwillingness to manage the courtyard that allows her to have a vacancy and command the maids in the courtyard as a "nurse".

Speaking of which, she entered the long room to be a nurse, also because before the eldest lady gave birth to a young lady, when the old lady was looking for a nurse according to the rules, she was chosen.

At that time, the long room was still in the hands of the old lady, and the old lady disdained to control the young lady from the nurse, so her identity has always been embarrassing in the long room. Of course, there are also benefits to staying neutral. It's just that now that Madame and Mademoiselle are standing up, if she doesn't say anything, she will be abandoned.

So, during this time she was in a hurry to behave, but fortunately, Miss did not show disgust.

Mama Feng's thoughts, of course Qiao Lixi knows, anyway, she is not very good at the backyard, and if someone is willing to contribute, she is also happy. As for Mama Feng's loyalty, Qiao Lixi is not worried, smart people know how to choose.

"Forsythia, bring me the notebook from my storeroom."

Forsythia hurriedly flipped out the booklet and handed it to Qiao Yixi with both hands.

Qiao Yixi glanced at Forsythia more.

During this time, Forsythia has been very low-key, so low-key that as a big girl next to her, she has no sense of existence.

Qiao Yixi knew Forsythia's intentions.

People don't kill for themselves, she understands Forsythia's thoughts, at least, in the most difficult time of the "Qiao Lixi" deity, Forsythia did not betray her, when she just occupied the magpie's nest, Forsythia also took care of her dutifully, even if she has two hearts now, before she completely left the long house, she didn't do anything sorry for her, sorry for the long room.

She wanted to keep the last bit of affection.

The things registered in the booklet, the more Qiao Lixi looked at it, the more angry she became.

Over the years, the things taken from the east courtyard have been converted into tens of thousands of taels of silver, and this Qiao Lixi is really willing to do it. Fortunately, most of these things are famous paintings and antiques, and people in a few rooms use them to decorate the façade.

In that case, it's easy to do.

It's easier to get something back than it is to ask for silver.

"Miss, the young lady and the young master of the fourth room are here."

Qiao Yixi raised her eyes in surprise, and immediately had an epiphany.

Before in the middle courtyard, she brushed the face of the old witch, Qiao Jinwen brought someone to Xingshi to ask for guilt.

Several people went to the study in the front yard of the East Courtyard.

This is the first time that Qiao Jinwen and others came over after the renovation of the East Courtyard, but they didn't expect the East Courtyard to be divided into front and back yards, and they didn't even have the qualifications to go to the backyard, so they could only wait for Qiao Yixi in the study.

"San'er, don't forget the purpose of our visit." Seeing that Qiao Jinwen's face was not good, Qiao Yi opened his mouth to remind him.

Qiao Jinwen was silent.

If it weren't for the place where Qiao Yixi and Changfang were useful, she wouldn't be so forbearing.

"Second brother, third sister......" Qiao Lixi took the initiative to greet as soon as she entered the door, her eyes swept to the superfluous person, and for a while, the memory of the deity was not online, and she forgot the ranking of that person.

Qiao Qing was not annoyed, smiled gently, and said to Qiao Yixi: "Qiao Qiao, long time no see." ”

"Sixth brother." After finally remembering this person, Qiao Lixi nodded at Qiao Qing.

Qiao Qing was surprised for a moment.

Qiao Lixi didn't care very much.

This Qiao Qing has no sense of existence in the fourth room, she was obedient to Xue Tao and Qiao San before, how could she have a good face for the concubine in the fourth room?

Besides, this Qiao Qing's aunt was just a friend of Qiao Xingye's business, and her status is not high. Xue Tao reluctantly stayed in order to show her generosity, and this Aunt Mei is a person with a wooden personality and is not good at words, Xue Tao is easy to handle, otherwise she would not have left her in the fourth room.

Merely......

Qiao Lixi smiled wickedly.

If he was really wooden and stupid, he would not have given birth to a son under Xue Tao's nose.

There are a few that can be mixed in the backyard that are simple.

No matter how angry Xue Tao is, he can only support Qiao Qing.

But......

Qiao Yixi tilted her head and looked at the few people in the fourth room.

Qiao Qing was not in Qiao's house before, it is said that he was doing business outside with the people of the clan, as for what kind of business it is, Qiao Yixi does not know, it seems that Qiao Xingye asked him to practice.

Qiao Xingye's meaning is very clear.

The sister-in-law took the career path, the sister-in-law did business, and the two brothers supported each other.

If the brothers really love each other, then Qiao Xingye's arrangement must be the best, but ......

Qiao Yixi shook her head.

The four-room is not as calm as it seems on the surface.

"Qiaoqiao, are you still used to it at your grandfather's house?" Qiao Jinwen still looks like a good sister.

Qiao Lixi looked excited, "I'm still used to it, third sister, this time Qiao Qiao went back and went to a lot of places, Chaotianmen was more lively than Jincheng, but the people there were too loud, and they spoke like quarrels." ”

Speaking of the back, Qiao Yixi frowned.

"Yuzhou is a wild place, surrounded by mountains, where people have little contact with the outside world, not to mention the rough folk customs, and human nature is also barbaric. Chaotianmen is a little better, after all, it is a dock, and the flow of people is large, so it can be regarded as having seen the world, but no matter how good Chaotianmen is, it is not as good as Jincheng. Qiaoqiao, you have been in Chaotianmen for a month, and the third sister has been worried for a month, for fear that you will not be used to it and be frightened by the people there. ”

Qiao Lixi looked relaxed, "Fortunately, Qiao Qiao followed a few cousins, but no one dared to bully me." My grandfather and uncles were also very good to Qiaoqiao, and when they came back this time, they gave me a lot of good things. ”

"You, a little thing will buy you." Qiao Jinwen poked Qiao Lixi's head with a helpless expression.

After a pause, seeing that Qiao Lixi didn't continue to talk and didn't mention the matter of dividing things as usual, Qiao Jinwen was a little unhappy, so she had to take the initiative to say: "Qiao Qiao, the things you brought back have to be carefully registered and put into the warehouse." ”

"Thank you for the reminder, Third Sister, Qiao Qiao has already let Mama tell me to go down."

"Mama Feng is a person who doesn't care about things, the third sister has already asked you to tell the eldest aunt about it, change to a grandma who can take care of things, you just get in the way of the situation, and it's not easy to speak. What are minions for? Isn't it for the master? If a slave can't even do his job, what's the use? ”

Qiao Yixi looked coquettish and embarrassed.

Qiao Jinwen rolled her eyes angrily, "Okay, this time, the third sister will lend Mama Xue to you, and I'll talk about it when you finish dealing with business." ”

Qiao Yixi sneered.

Mama Xue?

That's Xue Tao's dowry grandmother.
