Text Chapter 113 Clever Tongue
Coupled with Gu Jingshu and Qiao Lixi's dare not speak out, as well as the connivance of the old lady, their appetite is getting bigger and bigger.
Good things that don't want money, who doesn't like them?
If you get it in your hands, you will naturally take everything for granted.
Li Ruicheng said as usual: "Your aunt borrowed the painting boat from you, and my uncle knows about it, but during this time, I was busy with business and the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, so I didn't pay attention to the fact that the painting boat has not been returned to you." ”
Qiao Yixi smiled sweetly: "Qiao Qiao knows that her aunt and uncle are busy, so she hasn't mentioned it, and I happened to meet my uncle today, so I mentioned it in passing, uncle, don't be careful." ”
On a bright face, a bright smile was bright.
Li Ruicheng nodded, "I'll tell your aunt when I go back, out of the New Year, there are more things in the yard, and your aunt is also busy all day long, plus your cousin Rui has a heavy academic load this year, and your aunt still has to worry about the ......."
"It's okay, uncle, aunt can return the painting boat whenever she wants." Qiao Lixi said very considerately.
After a few pleasantries, Qiao Yixi got into the carriage.
"Miss......" Astragalus wanted to speak and stopped.
"Say it." Qiao Yixi looked at the book in her hand and said without raising her head.
"The old lady favors her aunt and grandmother the most, you want it so clearly, and then the aunt and grandmother will sue the old lady......"
"It's just that Qiao Linzi didn't tell the old witch, and the old witch looked at me pleasing to the eye?" Qiao Lixi said self-deprecatingly.
"But ......," Huang Qi said hesitantly, "The old lady and the lady are not here, the old lady's temper is up, no one can stop it, it's good to reprimand a few words, I'm afraid that the old lady will ...... to the young lady."
"Anla, she has a heart for me, no matter what I do, or even do nothing, she will still find excuses and reasons, instead of being so aggrieved, it is better to make herself happy first."
Seeing Qiao Yixi's disapproving face, the words on Astragalus's lips swallowed back.
Sure enough, Qiao Yixi returned to Qiao's mansion on the front foot, and Mama Gong came to pass the word on the back foot.
After drinking a bowl of bird's nest and eating two bites of dim sum, Qiao Yixi staggered to the middle courtyard, and before she entered the door, she heard Qiao Linzi's roar.
It's coming so fast.
"Grandmother, aunt." Qiao Lixi is blessed with a good body.
"Qiaoqiao still knows that I am an aunt." Jolene's snarky voice, a resentful tone.
Qiao Yixi smiled: "Qiao Qiao is not sick again, how can she not even remember her aunt?" ”
"Well, since you still know that I am your aunt, what do you mean by what you said today? I just borrowed your boat, what did you tell your uncle? Sow discord at a young age, you are my niece, I have a bad relationship with your uncle, what good will it do you? ”
This is a wicked statement.
If you have a heart to ponder carefully, you can make up all kinds of pickled versions in your brain.
For example, Qiao Lixi fell in love with her uncle, so she provoked the relationship between her aunt and uncle.
"It's no good," Qiao Qiao shook her head in a sneering manner, "So, Qiao Qiao doesn't understand why Aunt Qiao thinks Qiao Qiao is sowing discord?" Jojo just wants his things back, and as a result, he has become the wrong person? Of course, my aunt can say that Qiao Qiao's way of asking for things is wrong, over the years, my aunt has borrowed a lot of things from Qiao Qiao's hands and from the long house, Qiao Qiao has never said anything, let alone urged my aunt to pay it back, right? Today, I also happened to meet my uncle in the Chamber of Commerce, and chatted casually, my uncle said that my aunt was very busy during this time, and Qiao Qiao also asked my uncle to tell you not to forget to rest well, the painting boat is not in a hurry, when it is convenient for my aunt, just pull the painting boat to the dock, if there is no manpower, Qiao Qiao can borrow a few boatmen to my aunt. I don't know which of my aunt's words Qiaoqiao thinks is wrong? ”
Qiao Linzi was embarrassed for a moment.
In order to monopolize the painting boat, she didn't even dock the painting boat at the pier rented by Qiao Xingbang, but put it elsewhere, and the cost was very expensive, and she counted it on the head of the long house. Every day, I meet a few friends, sit on the painting boat for half a day, drink tea, listen to music, and chat about gossip by the way, not to mention how comfortable it is in a small day.
It's good to have money, even if she doesn't know the market, she knows that the painting boat is worth more than the Li family's house, the key is that it is a painting boat from the Gao family, not something that can be bought with silver!
Since the Gao family became the imperial merchant, they only make warships, and rarely do merchant ships, let alone this kind of painting boat, they are not people with a particularly good relationship, and the Gao family will not accept orders.
So what does the Gao family rely on for a living?
This is not within the scope of Qiao Linzi's concern, she only knows that the painting boat in Qiao Lixi's hand is not only from the Gao family, but also designed and built by the master of the Gao family with his children and grandchildren. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so red-eyed that she would try to take possession of the painting boat for herself.
There is a lot of face to say, and the painting boat built by the master of the Gao family himself.
As for how Qiao Lixi explained to the Gu family, it was not within the scope of her consideration, it was Qiao Lixi's business, and she naturally handled it herself.
I thought it would be the same as usual this time, but I didn't want this dead girl to suddenly open up!
"Yes, you're right, you have hard wings now, and your grandfather supports you, don't say that I'm an aunt, I'm afraid you don't even pay attention to your grandmother, right?" Qiao Linzi said harshly, "What do you have to say, can't say to me, what do you mean to chew your tongue in front of your uncle?" I see that you went directly to Brother Rui and his grandmother to turn your lips, that is my mother-in-law, and you want to press me! ”
"Bastard!" Old Madam Qiao had red eyes and roared angrily, "You can't see your aunt!" If you beat your aunt, you will love you the most, if you don't defend your aunt, forget it, and do something to sow discord, what kind of heart do you have! ”
"Grandmother, aunt, Qiao Qiao is just taking precautions, the previous child, Qiao Qiao was trapped by rumors, not only Qiao Qiao, but also the third and fifth sisters, and even the Qiao family were affected. My aunt is the daughter of Qiao's family, and I feel sorry for Qiao Qiao the most, presumably, my aunt is also very anxious. Now, the rumors have finally subsided, but my aunt has also been affected to some extent. The painting boat, everyone knows that Qiao Qiao took it back from his grandfather's house, and those who know the truth understand that it was lent by Qiao Qiao to his aunt, but he doesn't know the truth, his aunt has not returned the painting boat to Qiao Qiao, and all kinds of gossip are about to spread again. Although the body is not afraid of the shadow, but everyone is golden, and then Mrs. Li may really have a prejudice against her aunt. Qiaoqiao went through this and knew all kinds of tastes, but she didn't want her aunt to repeat Qiaoqiao's mistakes, so she said those words to her uncle. It was also Qiaoqiao's inconsiderate thinking that he should have explained to his aunt in private. Because Qiaoqiao has been thinking about this matter, when he saw his uncle, he forgot about it when he was excited. ”
"You're a good talker." Qiao Linzi looked at Qiao Lixi and said meaninglessly.
Qiao Yixi smiled heartily, "Aunt is good to Qiao Qiao, Qiao Qiao naturally has to think about her aunt." ”
"Okay, I got it." Qiao Linzi waved her hand irritably.
Painting boats?
She definitely won't give it back to Qiao Lixi, but she has to find a justifiable reason to let Qiao Lixi willingly give her the painting boat, not only to know about it in the circle, but also to go to the government for the record.
It's just that she hasn't thought of an exact and feasible way yet, so Qiao Yixi continued: "Speaking of which, Qiao Qiao is also quite embarrassed to cause so much trouble to her aunt. ”
"It's good if you know, next time you do something, think about the consequences first, and it's best to discuss it with your elders!" Old Madam Qiao put up the shelf again.
Qiao Lixi nodded after being taught, "Then please ask my aunt to be free, dock the painting boat at the pier on the edge of the Jinjiang River, and as for the things that I lent to my aunt before, I also ask my aunt to choose a convenient time to send them to the East Courtyard." ”
"Joe, Li, Xi!" Qiao Linzi said through gritted teeth.
"What do you mean, Evil Barrier!" Knowing that she couldn't control Qiao Yixi, Old Madam Qiao still stomped on her crutches and roared.
Qiao Yixi rolled her eyes in her heart, but she had the most sincere smile on her face, "Grandmother, but something?" ”
was provoked again and again by the juniors, or a casual junior, and no matter how good Mrs. Qiao's cultivation was, she couldn't hold back, "Your father is not qualified to say this, let alone you!" Why, my family members borrow something from each other, and they have to calculate it so clearly! ”
Qiao Lixi didn't react at all to the aggressive momentum of the old witch, and she wasn't really "Qiao Lixi", she didn't have any admiration for the old witch, and she didn't care if she could be recognized.
As for filial piety?
Hehe, I'm really embarrassed.
What she asked for was what Qiao Linzi "borrowed", although Qiao Linzi is an aunt and an elder of the deity, it is not difficult to borrow and borrow again, and it is natural to "borrow" the past things and get them back, and it is not filial piety.
Even the old witch helped Qiao Linzi suppress her, and she didn't dare to do too much, but she had an IOU in her hand that Qiao Linzi pressed her fingerprints.
Speaking of which, this mother and daughter are really wonderful.
Qiao Linzi went back to her parents' house to ask for money, and the old witch quietly used the account of the public middle school to make up for it, but the old witch's subsidy is also limited, after all, she still has to secretly save private money, so Qiao Linzi can only hint at Gu Jingshu Qiao Yixi from time to time.
It's just that Qiao Linzi really wants to make it clear that her brothers will definitely not be happy.
Everyone wants to take benefits from the long house, and they have to get it very decently, not to drop the price, not to lose their status, and even, to be high, as if the money was not brazenly greedy for them, but was sent to them by the people of the long house.
Therefore, Qiao Linzi wrote an IOU very formulaically, but there was no deadline for repayment.
It was precisely because she knew that the people in the long room would not ask for it, so she wrote it so crisply, but she didn't expect that Qiao Lixi would have the courage to bring it up!
"Grandmother, you should know the truth of your brother's accounting, right? My aunt is a married daughter, the Li family is my aunt's husband's family, my aunt's words and deeds represent the Li family, no matter how rare the old lady Li is, if the aunt's character affects the face of the Li family......"
It's still very simple.
"That's what you spread out too!" In a fit of rage, the old witch resorted to her usual tricks, and if anything bad happened, the initiator must be Qiao Lixi.
