However, on the third or fourth day, the painting boat stopped at the Jinjiang Wharf.

Qiao Lixi stood on the deck excitedly.

The location of the wharf is relatively partial, it should be a place specially chosen by Qiao Xingbang, and it has been renovated, so it is very tidy, and there is a hut next to it, which should be a place where people live to watch the boat.

"The people on the boat are temporarily arranged on your mother's village, helping to do some farm work on weekdays, and when you want to use the painting boat, just say it in advance."

Qiao Lixi nodded, such a large painting boat needs a lot of people, so naturally it can't be arranged to enter Qiao's Mansion, besides, these are people from the long house, there is no need to get into Qiao's Mansion to be angry.

With a sweep of her eyes, Qiao Lixi suddenly smiled.

The people in the second and fourth rooms were on the dock, and the two uncles looked like they had been waiting for a while.

At the fifteenth hour, the old witch sent a letter to the Gu family and asked them when they would return.

Don't think that this is the old witch's concern for the long house, but she and the people in the fourth room ate a closed door in the Hou Mansion, the old witch moved to the long room and called them back to the Hou Mansion to try their luck, it is best to be able to go in, if you can't go in, the jokes of the Qiao family will come to the long room, and it has nothing to do with the fourth room.

With conspiracy theories, Qiao Lixi got off the boat.

"Big brother, sister-in-law."

"Big brother, sister-in-law."

Second Master Qiao and Fourth Master Qiao immediately greeted him.

"Why are you here?" Qiao Xingbang politely said as usual.

"Isn't this worrying that you have a lot of things and it's inconvenient?" Fourth Master Qiao replied with a smile, and turned his gaze to Qiao Yixi, "Qiao Qiao, how did you have a good time at your grandfather's house?" Your third sister has been talking about you, afraid that you will not be used to it and your body will not be able to stand it. ”

"Thank you for the care of the fourth uncle and the third sister, Qiaoqiao is very good."

Who wouldn't be able to act?

Love each other, right?

It's all in your hands!

Qiao Siye originally just said it in passing, but when he saw a steady stream of things being moved down from the painting boat, the smile on his face could no longer be hung up.

Yes, he was jealous.

is also the daughter-in-law of the Qiao family, why is the difference between Xue Tao and Gu Jingshu so big?

Although I have always felt that the Xue family is not bad before, and it is also a first-class merchant in Jincheng, compared with the atmosphere of the Gu family, it is simply a gap between a basin of water and a sea.

Fourth Master Qiao didn't think he was exaggerating at all.

The Xue family has not said how much they have not subsidized Xue Tao over the years, and how much they have helped him, on the contrary, Xue Tao has taken a lot of things from Qiao's Mansion every year to help his mother's brother.

Before, he just turned a blind eye, after all, those things were all obtained from the long house, and he didn't feel distressed when he gave it, but now, the attitude of the long house has changed, and it may not be so easy to get silver from the long house again.

It's just a matter of a moment.

Old Madam Gu was determined to give Gu Jingshu and Qiao Yixi a long face, so she asked them to bring back a lot of things, plus Qiao Lixi's two uncles and three cousins, ten carriages full, even if he didn't see the things in the box, Qiao Siye knew that they must be good things.

When did the Gu family send something bad?

The itching was unbearable, but he could only endure the irritability, and the group returned to Qiao's mansion in a mighty way.

Naturally, it attracted the attention of many people along the way.

seems to have seen the ten-mile red makeup that Gu Jingshu married back then.

Even after so many years, older people still remember the grand occasion at that time, it can be said that after so many years, who will surpass Gu Jingshu, unless it is Qiao Yixi who marries.

What the Gu family has sent to Qiao's Mansion over the years, which time has it not been delivered by a few carriages and carriages?

Now, the things that Gu Jingshu brought back ten carriages at once will become the talk of the people for a long time.

Joe's House.

Old Madam Qiao sat on the main seat with an unkind expression, trying her best to show a solemn appearance, but when she thought of the person who had something to "beg" for the long house, she couldn't hold the shelf, and her ambivalence caused the expression on her face to be a little distorted.

finally made up his mind, even if he was holding the elder's shelf, he had to put on a score in front of the long room, and after hearing the little guy who rushed back first next to Qiao Siye talk about the things of the ten carriages, he couldn't hold back a little nervously.

"Mother, those are all New Year's gifts from the Gu family, no matter what, you have a copy, and the public school also has a copy, and our few rooms will not be left behind, and the rest is the long house. You don't have to look at the face of the long house, you should be honored. ”

Xue Tao's thoughtful words touched the old lady's heart and resolved her embarrassment.

Isn't that it?

The group hurried back to Qiao's mansion, and according to the usual practice, they naturally had to go to the middle courtyard to greet the old lady first.

"Mother."

Qiao Xingbang stood below with a family of three.

Old Madam Qiao half-closed her eyes and glanced at her arrogantly, "The boss is back, everything is going well on the road, right?" ”

"Back to my mother, the journey was smooth. It is also convenient to come back by water. ”

"What about the docks?" The old lady began to put on a score, and it was very important to get off the horse or something.

Qiao Xingbang replied: "The wharf was rented by his son, and his mother also knew that Qiao Qiao's uncle sent her a painting boat, which had been placed in the Gu family because there was no place to dock before. ”

"The Qiao family's silver is not blown by the wind, isn't it too extravagant to rent a dock and put a useless thing?" A sharp nasal voice, which is very uncomfortable to listen to.

Qiao Xingbang frowned, and wanted to explain a few more words, but Qiao Lixi interjected unruly, "Back to grandmother, that painting boat was given to Qiao Qiao by my uncle a long time ago, and it has been kept at my uncle's house, which is very inconvenient." The dock was rented by my father with the silver of the long house, and my father also favored Qiao Qiao, so he made a high profile. And that painting boat, as the third sister said before, is the best painting boat in Jincheng, which is more powerful than the Wang family's painting boat. Wang Min also said that he had the opportunity to play in Qiaoqiao's painting boat. This time, everyone knew that Qiao Qiao had returned to her grandfather's house, if she didn't bring back the painting boat, when they asked, they thought that the third sister was talking big, and the Qiao family couldn't take out a painting boat at all, so Qiao Qiao was willful. If Jojo does something wrong, ask her grandmother to punish her. ”

The crowd was speechless.

How do you take this?

Old Madam Qiao favored Qiao Jinwen the most, how could she be wronged and criticized, but she was dissatisfied with Qiao Lixi using Qiao Jinwen as a raft, and stared at Qiao Lixi unkindly, for a long time, before she said in a weird manner: "You are defending your third sister." ”

"It should be," Qiao Yixi didn't seem to understand the old witch's sarcasm, and said seriously, "The third sister is very good to Qiaoqiao, she is very protective of Qiaoqiao outside, and she has taught Qiaoqiao a lot of things, Qiaoqiao naturally can't let the third sister lose her trust." ”

Old Madam Qiao suppressed the fire in her heart, even though Qiao Lixi's words sounded very uncomfortable, the meaning was obvious, it was to protect Qiao Jinwen and the Qiao family, and she really couldn't find an excuse to have a seizure.

But this doesn't mean that she let go of Qiao Yixi and let go of Changfang.

"The East Courtyard has been cleaned up, you have worked hard all the way, go back and rest first, and the New Year's gifts brought back have been distributed and stored in the warehouse according to the usual practice. The eldest daughter-in-law, you are not in good health, the fourth daughter-in-law has been helping me take care of the backyard during this time, and she will help you organize the things and register them, and when you are relieved, I will let the fourth daughter-in-law give you the account book. ”

"Thank you, fourth brother and sister," Gu Jingshu said to Xue Tao with a smile before saying to the old lady, "Mother, the New Year's gift brought back by the daughter-in-law this time has been sent to the middle courtyard." ”

As soon as the words fell, two servants came in carrying a suitcase.

It was said to be a box, but it was actually the smallest box in the carriage, no wonder the old witch's face was so ugly.

"Sister-in-law, that's all ......" Bi Cuiqiu, as Xue Tao's assist, said in a weird manner.

Gu Jingshu said: "Some fresh melons, fruits and game, my daughter-in-law has sent it to the big kitchen, and the small kitchen of several courtyards has also sent some game, everyone can try it." What is in this box is the New Year's gift of the daughter-in-law's mother's family, and it is not a very delicate thing, a few brocades, a few pieces of porcelain, and the four brothers and sisters will enter the warehouse according to the custom. ”

"That's all? Isn't it, sister-in-law? Bi Cuiqiu looked at Gu Jingshu in disbelief, "Ten carriages of things, sister-in-law just sent us with this little thing?" It doesn't matter if we go, after all, my sister-in-law is willing to give it to us, and it's also love, but my mother is there......"

Every time Bi Cuiqiu said a word, Old Madam Qiao's face darkened, if she hadn't been holding the shelf of the elders, she would have had a seizure.

Gu Jingshu smiled: "I don't know what New Year's gifts the third brother and sister's mother's family has sent?" If the sister-in-law sends it lightly, she will find a way to make up for it. ”

Bi Cuiqiu was embarrassed.

Over there, it was rare for Gan Wan to speak on such an occasion, "Sister-in-law can't say that, among our rooms, the sister-in-law's maiden family is the most powerful." Those who are able to work more and send more New Year's gifts to honor their mothers should also be. In previous years, the sister-in-law was very sensible, but this year it was suddenly like this, I don't know, I thought that the sister-in-law was dissatisfied with our Qiao family, and deliberately took Qiao in front of my mother. We are not greedy for sisters-in-law, but this year's sudden coming here will inevitably make people think more. ”

Qiao Lixi couldn't help but glance at Gan Wan more.

This third aunt is the most nonexistent of the several daughters-in-law of the Qiao family.

Compared with the flattery of the second room to the fourth room, this third room is the most unique.

Qiao Lixi knew that she was using the wrong words.

But the third room, as a concubine room, is really a very alternative existence in Qiao's house.

Third Master Qiao is not like Second Master Qiao, nor is he like Second Master Qiao, who writes his intentions on his face.

Qiao Sanye is the most calm and low-key, Sanfang has never been involved in this kind of intrigue, so he is most guarded by Qiao Siye.

Today, it was Gu Jingshu's actions that made everyone lose a lot, and they couldn't even sit still in the third room.

"Brother and sister, that's not what you say," Gu Jingshu was not impatient or impatient, and said softly, "Every family has rules, not to mention that the Qiao family is a big family, and there are more rules and stricter." Before, the sister-in-law was ignorant, broke the rules, and only thought about building a good relationship with a few rooms, but let a few younger siblings be criticized by outsiders, saying that you coveted my little things and tried all kinds of methods to coax me. So, from this year onwards, let's follow the specifications, I think, so that the mother will not be embarrassed. ”
