Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 7: The Moon Dancing Low in the Willow Tower

"This is a new product from Nishang Pavilion, you can go by yourself." Qiao Lili calmly pulled her sleeve out of Bai Rouer's hand. She would give the dress to the girl when she got back. She felt disgusted because it had been touched by dirty hands.

Nishang Pavilion was my mother's dowry shop, the benchmark of ready-made clothing shops in Beijing, and it led the fashion trends of women in Beijing. The noble ladies in Beijing felt that they stood up straight and their status doubled when they wore a piece of clothing from Nishang Pavilion.

She has been running the business since her mother passed away. In the previous four years, Bai Shi and Bai Rouer's clothes for all four seasons were all from Nishang Pavilion.

When Bai Rouer heard about Nishang Pavilion, she immediately perked up and automatically ignored Qiao Lili's cold and distant tone: "Sister, can I take my summer clothes?"

"Okay, remember to settle the bill. Also, don't call me sister anymore, my mother only gave birth to me as a daughter." Qiao Lili looked at Bai Rouer who was very happy, "In the past four years, you have never paid for the clothes you took from Nishang Pavilion. The shopkeeper didn't ask for money for my sake, so remember to pay it this time."

"Also, please settle the bill for the head ornaments and jewelry from Zhenbaozhai. It's been owed for four years. Don't wait for them to come and ask for it." Zhenbaozhai was also her mother's dowry shop. Qiao Lili was waiting for them to come and had already greeted the shopkeeper a few days ago.

Bai Rouer, who had just sat down, stood up from the peony-carved sandalwood chair after hearing what Qiao Lili said, even knocking over the tea bowl on the small table.

"Qiao Lili, weren't those clothes and jewelry all given by you? Why do you want money?" She asked loudly, her delicate image no longer maintained, and this time she really didn't call her sister.

Qiao Lili glanced at her and said, "You are beautiful. I will give you everything. Besides, gift-giving requires reciprocity. Have you ever given me a gift of equal value in return?" Not to mention gifts of equal value, even a gift of a penny would not be returned by them. They just talked.

"You, you," Bai Rouer's sore spot was mediocre looks, and now that Qiao Lili said it so openly, she was so angry that she wanted to rush forward and fight.

"Be careful, that teacup is an item used by the royal family of Persia. It was the spoils of war that my great-grandfather took from the Persian palace when he led his troops to attack the capital of Persia. If it is broken, you won't be able to pay for it even if you sell your Bai Mansion." Qiao Lili spoke slowly and stabbed Bai Rouer again.

Chuntao hurried over and quickly put the tilted tea bowl on the tray, and also took the tea bowl next to Bai's hand. This is a pair, neither of them can fall. She finally understood that next time these two people come, let alone such a priceless tea bowl, even the coarse porcelain bowl will not be used, and they can just skip the tea.

Qiao Lili gave Chuntao a thumbs up in her heart, saying, "Well done."

This situation actually happened in just a few breaths. Bai Shi, who had not reacted yet, quickly came out to smooth things over, "Lili, what's wrong? Are you angry?"

She knew why Qiao Lili said and did what she did today, so she didn't worry about gifts or bills, and went straight to the crux of the matter. Originally, when she came, she wanted to talk to Qiao Lili in private and be done with it, and didn't want to say it in front of the old Duke's wife.

But now it seems that it is obviously not possible.

Bai wanted to touch the tea bowl and take a sip of tea strategically, but her hand touched nothing and she coughed awkwardly, "The woman who came back with Zhe'er that day was Zhe'er's savior." She wanted to say out loud the words she had thought of at home, one by one.

Lifesaver, haha, he is a great military general who has been fighting on the battlefield for four years, why does he need a weak woman to save his life, not to mention that she is accompanied by a team of cavalry. Could it be that this woman is a kung fu master and has the courage of ten thousand men?

Qiao Lili did not respond, and did not show any expression to the mother and daughter. On the surface, she looked calm, but her heart was in turmoil. The fingertips holding the cup turned white. The opening remarks were exactly the same as in the previous life. How could she believe it? How stupid! She was not innocent to be killed by others.

"When Zhe'er came back, he encountered an ambush. It was the woman who saved him. Because she was injured, she couldn't ride a horse. Zhe'er wanted to see you earlier, and he couldn't wait until she recovered. So Zhe'er came back with her on a horse."

This is to tell her that it is not too much to share a ride with her in gratitude for saving her life.

Let's just say, when they were ambushed, General Bai's life was in danger, how did that weak woman escape the ambush safely and come to rescue others? That day, we saw a group of cavalry returning from the tower, not one was missing, were they all frozen, were they not ambushed? Couldn't they rescue people? .

What a great thing to say. I rode with her just to see her earlier. It turns out that this was her fault.

"Wait until she recovers from her injuries. If she wants to leave, we will send her away. If she doesn't want to leave, we will give her the title of concubine in the backyard. Zhe'er said that it is just a title to repay her for saving my life. Zhe'er will not have anything to do with her."

She couldn't leave. She had to stay here as an orphan. I'm afraid they had already reached an agreement for some purpose. As for not having any intersection, it would be that she wouldn't have any intersection with Qiao Lili.

After their marriage in the previous life, their family lied to him, saying that Bai Junzhe was injured in the battlefield and had to recover before they could have sex, so until she was imprisoned in a dark room, Bai Junzhe never stayed in her yard. It was ridiculous that she searched everywhere for hundred-year-old ginseng and thousand-year-old ganoderma lucidum to give to him to nourish his body, and looked for miracle doctors and ghost doctors everywhere to treat him, with all her heart to cure his illness.

"Zhe'er only has you in his heart. In order to make merit and come back to marry you as soon as possible, he fought bravely and made countless military achievements. He became a young general praised by everyone. He rushed back to marry you in a grand manner."

Countless military exploits? He was a young boy, not good at martial arts and not good at strategy, but he could achieve many extraordinary feats on the battlefield? Is this just playing house? Even a storybook would not dare to write this.

Those were all the military achievements of his father and brothers, which they had fought for with every sword and spear. They attributed all the credit to him just because their precious daughter, whom they had spoiled and pampered, would not marry an unknown boy.

You have heard so many nice words that you take them seriously?

Did he marry me in such a grand ceremony? Was he coveting her dowry, the power of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion, or some other dark plot in his heart?

Qiao Lili couldn't figure out how she had believed Bai's explanation so firmly in her previous life, but now, she didn't believe a single word of it, no, not even a single punctuation mark.

Lou Xinyue had become his confidant at the border, and he brought her all the way back to the capital. The whole talk of her being his savior was nonsense. It was just a meeting with ulterior motives, where one was willing to fight and the other was willing to be beaten.

The young man who rode to the border four years ago was a boy who admired her. The young general who came back now was Lou Xinyue's young general. He and Lou Xinyue had already been husband and wife. During the countless days and nights together, their feelings had undergone a qualitative change.

This family, like a sinister and cunning monster, had already opened their bloody mouths to her, just waiting for her to come to their door happily with a ten-mile long red dress, drums and music, and a phoenix crown and a red bridal robe, and then, with a single gulp, they would swallow her up without leaving anything behind.

A little cutie asked about the origin of the name. Lili means lush vegetation, Zhen also means lush branches and leaves. Peng still means lush vegetation (the name of Qiao Lili's elder brother, Qiao Peng).
