Chapter 16: Meeting the Elders

"The eldest sister is kind-hearted and good-tempered, we all know, but just now the grandmother just mentioned a few words, don't you say this to show that the grandmother is mean to the third sister? It is already a great gift to let the third sister come back, and you can't get an inch in life. ”

Now Qiao Chuxi was standing beside the old lady, and as she spoke, her eyes swept over the old lady's face without a trace, and a strange smile flashed in her eyes.

Qiao Chuying turned her face to look at the old lady, and saw that the old lady's face was lowered, her face stiffened, and she hurriedly explained: "Ying'er is just worried that grandmother is angry and hurts her body, and she doesn't mean anything else." ”

The old lady just snorted coldly and didn't take a stubble, obviously Qiao Chuxi's words had made her prejudiced against Qiao Chuying.

Qiao Chuying's face stiffened, she was glared at by the old lady, but she was aggrieved but still supported her dignified posture, and she was about to wring out the hole with the silk handkerchief in both hands.

Qiao Nianxi knelt on the ground and didn't speak, her eyes swept over everyone's faces, searching for the impression of these people in the memory of the original owner, which was originally the birthplace of the matter, but now she left herself out.

However, Qiao Nian cherished a lot of heart, and also figured out that the left and right had nothing to do with him, and it was not bad to watch them pinch each other.

However, the world is always full of turns, and just as the drums are beating in the hearts of the people, the voices outside draw everyone's attention.

"Oops, it's been a lively day!"

When everyone heard this, they were a little stunned, and when they looked up, they saw a woman in a goose-yellow gauze skirt walking in with a woman of rich brocade.

The lady who spoke, about thirty years old, plump, brocade cloak, pearls, jade, jewelry, and gold hairpins were complete, even if she walked slowly, she couldn't cover the tinkling of the pearls all over her body, which made people a little worried about whether her neck would be crushed by a head of honeysuckle hairpins.

The woman who was holding her next to her was fair-skinned, with a beautiful face, a goose-yellow long skirt wrapped around the plump and delicate body, and the same as the noblewoman, dressed in a flamboyant manner, not as subtle and soft as Qiao Chuying, but adding a bit of conceit and arrogance.

These two people are the family of the old lady's third son, his wife Gao and his daughter-in-law Qiao Chulian.

The old lady gave birth to three sons, the eldest son Qiao Hongxian died in an accident when Qiao Nianxi was three years old, leaving Lu and Qiao Zichen's mother and son to rely on each other, Qiao Nianxi's father Qiao Hongyuan is the second son, and attacked this title, which is now the Marquis of Zhenguo, and the third son Qiao Hongyang, who has been doing business in other places all the year round.

The third child, Qiao Hongyang, has been in business all the year round, and he has a solid family background, and now he knows that this mother and daughter are eager to hang gold ingots on their bodies.

The two of them came in and saluted the old lady, and when they saw the old lady nodding and getting up, they sat in their seats in the third courtyard.

Gao sat firmly, his eyes swept around the room, and finally his eyes fell on Qiao Nianxi, his eyes sank without a trace, and he said in a thin voice: "Why is everyone here today? Could it be to welcome the third young lady back?"

The expressions on everyone's faces changed slightly, and before anyone could answer, they heard Qiao Chu next to him snort coldly: "It's just a concubine, and the whole family came out to greet her, if you don't know, you still think that the mother is here!"

Qiao Chu pouted, her face was full of arrogance and disdain, in her eyes, her father was the most favored by the old lady, their three courtyards should be hereditary, and the position of the concubine of this Hou Mansion should be hers, so she hates the people who live in this Hou Mansion, no matter who it is.

As soon as the sentence was finished, Qiao Chulian reached out and stroked the hair in front of his sideburns, and the new emerald green bracelet on his wrist was revealed, not to mention other young ladies, even Qiao Chuying, a young lady, had a little more envy in her eyes.

Lin's face was pang, originally thinking of setting up rules for Qiao Nian in front of everyone, but he didn't expect to be poked in the heart by Qiao Chu, and even the old lady was brought in, but he was not happy but still had to maintain a dignified demeanor, Lin opened his mouth and was about to round the field, but he didn't want anyone to listen to such prickly words more than her.

"Cut!"

Qiao Chuxi rolled his eyelids and threw a roll of his eyes at Qiao Chulian.

"Niangniang didn't, the ancestor had one, the second sister came in as a junior, and the grandmother hasn't spoken yet, why is it your turn to interject?"

Qiao Chuxi's words were not to help Qiao Nianxi, but that she and Qiao Chulian had originally been in a relationship when they met.

Qiao Chulian glanced at Qiao Chuxi with slanted eyes, and a touch of disdain appeared on her lips: "Fifth sister is right, grandmother hasn't spoken yet, where is your turn to be a concubine with a lot of mouths!

Qiao Chulian has always been poisonous, and he doesn't look at people's faces, in one sentence, take advantage of this mouth first when he encounters something!

At this time, Qiao Nian was silent, but he quietly touched a bead in his hand.

Qiao Chuxi's face twisted, his face turned blue with anger, and he exploded in an instant, regardless of the elders, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Qiao Chuxi's nose: "You!"

"What are you?"

Qiao Chulian had a touch of pride on his face, turned around and took a step closer to Qiao Chuxi, but he didn't want to bend his knees uncontrollably at the moment when he just raised his legs, and the hand raised in a panic slapped Qiao Chuxi's face!
