In the middle of the night, winter rain began to fall.

Jincheng is like this, it rains a lot in the middle of the night, and the rain is not heavy, but it persistently goes down all night, and is pulled out of the bed by forsythia, Qiao Yixi shivered coldly.

"Miss, hurry up, the slave will help you put on your clothes, so that you don't catch a cold." Forsythia muttered in his mouth, but the movements in his hands were not slow.

Qiao Lixi has not been in good health since she was a child, and these maids are very careful to serve, and the speed in their hands has also been trained.

After packing up, Qiao Yixi walked to Gu Jingshu with her little short legs.

Aunt Bai was already waiting on the sidelines, looking like she was waiting to be sent at any time.

Qiao Yixi raised her eyebrows slightly.

Bai Peony is the big girl next to the old witch, and the old lady in the family has weight in Qiao's family, so Bai Peony's heart is also higher than that of ordinary maids.

In particular, she was still "given" to Qiao Xingbang by the old witch, thinking that even if she was a concubine, at least she was a noble concubine, and Gu Jingshu didn't dare to touch her easily.

Because of this cognition, Aunt Bai walked sideways in the East Courtyard, and she hadn't seen her for a few days, how did she become a delicate and weak beauty?

"Jojo?" Gu Jingshu's voice recalled Qiao Yixi's thoughts.

"Mother, what's the matter?" Qiao Lixi tilted her head and asked.

Gu Jingshu shook her head helplessly and repeated, "What do you do with the person outside Zhuangzi?" ”

"Ah, who?" Qiao Lixi subconsciously replied.

Qiao Xingbang took over the conversation and said: "A young man came up from Zhuangzi and knelt outside all night, and his father asked him, and he said that you bought him back." ”

Qiao Yixi didn't react for a while.

Qiao Xingbang said again: "I asked people to bring that kid in, but he said, I didn't get your recognition, he ...... Don't dare to come in. ”

"They are all kneeling at the door, what else is there to dare?" Qiao Yixi muttered.

Gu Jingshu also frowned, "Qiaoqiao, this person ...... What's going on? I asked him and he only said you bought him and nothing else. ”

Because they didn't know the specific reason, Qiao Xingbang and Gu Jingshu naturally wouldn't let people in.

"It's nothing, it's just that on the way back yesterday, I saw someone selling herself to bury her father, and my daughter gave her two taels of silver. didn't say to buy him, only let him bury the deceased, but he didn't expect that he actually chased him to Zhuangzi. ”

Qiao Xingbang said: "If this is the case, then this kid is quite honest and has a good character." ”

"What kind of character is good, in case it depends on our family." Qiao Lixi retorted.

"You can't say that," Gu Jingshu said, "You gave the silver, in his heart, you are his master, and he naturally came to find it." It can be seen that this person is trustworthy. So what does Jojo mean? ”

Qiao Yixi shook her head, "I gave him silver, not to buy him, but because I have the ability to help him, so I made a move." He was a dutiful man, and I just fulfilled his filial piety, but I didn't think to keep him by my side. ”

She said so, and Qiao Xingbang naturally followed her wishes, "Okay, Daddy will send him away later." ”

After breakfast, Qiao Lixi took Forsythia and Angelica to prepare to go to the clan school, and when she walked to the gate of the courtyard, she saw that the young man was still kneeling there without moving.

After a night of winter rain, the young man was drenched all over his body, not to mention, kneeling in the mud, looking very embarrassed.

However, the young man's waist was straight, neither humble nor arrogant, his wet hair was messily draped over his shoulders, his white lips were pursed, and his eyes were unshakable stubbornness.

"Miss." When the young man saw Qiao Yixi, his eyes lit up, and his voice stopped her hoarsely.

Qiao Yixi frowned.

To be honest, she didn't like it very much.

That's right, she helped the boy, but she didn't want to buy him, the boy's act of ignoring it and staying by her side was, in her opinion, not a return for gratitude, but wishful thinking.

Of course, she also knew that this was because of the difference in concepts between her and the other party.

She doesn't understand the loyalty of the ancients, nor does she understand the stubbornness of the ancients, she just thinks that it is enough to repay the debt, and it is a big deal to calculate more interest, so why tie her personal freedom to others.

Of course, what she minds the most is the black sleeve's ambition for this person.

It's not just about getting it.

From ten taels of silver to eighty taels, the black set is very ...... Weigh this person seriously.

Qiao Lixi also knew that the words were inappropriate, but these two words best described Hei Su's thoughts about this person.

The black jacket is Qiao Jinwen's flower messenger, and Qiao Lixi doesn't want to have too much intersection with him.

Who knows what the situation will be when the Qiao family is in chaos, what will be the situation between the long room and the fourth room, before she has absolute strength, she doesn't want to provoke that inexplicable guy. Moreover, there is an unknown Angelica by her side, and her current situation is already difficult, and she doesn't want to mess with people anymore.

After thinking about it so much, Qiao Yixi's movements were not slow, and she walked straight to the carriage.

The boy was in a hurry, stood up, and stumbled after him.

Angelica stood still and stopped the boy.

The boy was anxious, "Miss! ”

Qiao Yixi had no choice but to turn around.

The boy was so nervous that his body stiffened, he clearly felt the other party's impatience, and he also understood that the other party did not mean to leave him behind.

But he didn't know what was wrong with him, and after burying his father, he insisted on finding it.

"I—I want to stay." Saying this sentence with difficulty, the young man's whole body was relaxed.

"Have you figured it out?" Qiao Lixi gave the teenager a chance to choose.

"After thinking clearly, I want to follow Miss." The boy knew very well in his heart that he had a better choice, and the other party gave him a chance, but he wanted to stay.

Perhaps, it's the greed for the sour warmth.

Qiao Yixi sighed, I don't know if I picked up a trouble and came back.

It's just that the person who Hei Sleeve wants to buy in every possible way follows her side, and it feels quite accomplished to think about it.

Hopefully, it's not a conspiracy of black sleeves.

"Angelica, you take him to his wife to report, go to the government to get the deed of sale, and then wait for me at the clan school."

After ordering Angelica, Qiao Yixi got into the carriage.

From now on, Qiao Lixi has to cope with the exam, she has only been in Class Ding for a few days, the master thought of her special situation, and allowed her not to refer to it, but she was eager to upgrade to Class B that matched her age, Qiao Lixi said that she was willing to give it a try.

The examination of Class Ding is very simple, and those who study in the clan studies are not going to the imperial examination, but they just know a few more words, know arithmetic, read account books, and don't lose their family property.

So in the first exam, Qiao Lixi coped with it very easily.

It's just a big letter, and I still have this confidence.

At lunchtime, Qiao Lixi took Forsythia to the dining hall.

"Jojo, here!" As soon as they entered, they heard Kimberkin shouting at the top of his voice, and then Qiao Lixi saw Kimberkin waving at her hard.

"When did you become so familiar?"

When Qiao Yixi sat down, she happened to hear the person next to Kim Birkin muttering.

She glanced at it, it was the girl who came to the school on the first day, spoke disrespectfully to her, was scolded back by her, and Kimbirkin rushed over to defend her.

Seven or eight years old, very delicate.

Qiao Lixi looked at Kim Birkin ambiguously.

Kim Birkin scratched his head, his eyes wandering.

Forsythia served Qiao Yixi's meal and stepped aside.

The meals in the canteen are all well matched, one serving per person, not enough to add, but not leftovers.

The taste is so-so, if you don't like it, you can bring your own lunch.

Qiao Yixi had ribs in her mouth and chewed with her heart.

The Kimbergold thief leaned over, "Qiaoqiao, did you send that aunt of your family back?" ”

Qiao Lixi didn't react.

Kim Birkin was a little anxious, "It's the woman who came uninvited yesterday, and it's not serious at first glance." ”

"You can see that?" Qiao Yixi asked deliberately exaggeratedly.

Jin Baijin rolled his eyes, "I have seen a lot of this kind of woman, and I have seen a lot of people who are more clever than her, and at her level, she is also Aunt Gu's kindness, if she is my mother...... Hum! ”

Unclear voices, full of contempt.

"What are you talking about?" Feeling that she was left out, Sun Xian also came over and looked at Qiao Yixi's eyes, murderous!

"Didn't say anything, Xianxian, have you eaten? Would you like some soup? Kimberkin looked courteous.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Yuanbao." Sun Xian snorted, and looked at Qiao Lixi defiantly.

"Jojo, you wait." Jin Baijin said hello to Qiao Yixi, and took the bowl to help Sun Xian serve the soup.

Sun Xian raised her head and pointed her nostrils to Qiao Lixi, "Brother Yuanbao is kind-hearted and good-tempered, he just looks at you pitifully and doesn't have any friends, so he talks to you." If you are smart, you should know how to measure and don't be delusional. ”

"What am I delusional?" Qiao Lixi asked rhetorically.

Sun Xian snorted coldly, "The Qiao family is very powerful, but in Jincheng, it is much more powerful than the Qiao family, and in Shuzhou, the Qiao family is nothing." ”

Qiao Lixi looked at Sun Xian for a long time.

"What are you talking about?" When Jin Baijin came back cautiously with a soup bowl, Qiao Lixi and Sun Xian were staring at each other.

"It's nothing, Brother Yuanbao, Xian Xian just asked Sister Qiao, are you still used to it?" Sun Xian took the soup bowl, took a sip of it, and looked at Qiao Lixi defiantly.

Qiao Lixi looked at Jin Baijin with a smile, "Yuanbao? Gold ingots? ”

Jin Baijin's fat face flushed, and he said hesitantly: "It's just a nickname, what's so strange, these days, who doesn't have a nickname?" Wonder is the daughter of ignorance! ”

……

When he came out of the clan school, Qiao Lixi's carriage was already waiting outside, and the young man sat next to Uncle Quan, and when he saw Qiao Lixi, he immediately greeted him.

Qiao Yixi glanced at it.

The young man had already changed into the uniform dark clothes of the Qiao family, his hair was also tied up, and the whole person looked in good spirits.

"Jojo."

The voice behind her made Qiao Yixi frown, and when she turned around, her little face was expressionless and solemn.

"Third sister, fifth sister."

Qiao Jinwen walked up to Qiao Lixi with a worried face, glanced behind her, pulled her aside, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" I heard that Aunt Bai went to Zhuangzi. ”
