Chapter 149 Half-baked Level
Qiao Zeran gritted his teeth, "Second brother, I'm serious. Our fifth sister fell in love with Lu Chao at first sight and is determined to marry him. Normally, even a stone would be moved. But I saw yesterday that Lu Chao didn't have any feelings for the fifth sister."
"You are a man without a wife, and you have the nerve to judge whether someone has feelings or not."
Qiao Zeran slammed the table, extremely angry: "Second brother, just say what you want to say, why are you making personal attacks?"
What’s wrong with not having a wife? Even if I don’t have a wife, I still understand more than you.
"I won't waste my time talking to you. I'm leaving now. You stay at home and don't run around."
As Qiao Yuanan said this, he carried his bag and left the house.
Qiao Zeran chased to the door and shouted: "Eyes, eyes, do you understand?..."
He was answered by the sound of the door being slammed shut.
He didn't even listen to his analysis. He was so mad!
According to his experience, Lu Chao only treats Fifth Sister like a husband and wife, but not like a husband and wife.
"A-choo!" Qiao Zeran suddenly sneezed: "Who is scolding me?"
He rubbed his itchy nose and went back to his room to continue sleeping.
Men understand men best. Wait for him to think carefully about how to help his sister win her husband's heart.
Qiao Zeran was preoccupied with making his sister happier, but he had no idea that Qiao Jingru was discrediting him in front of Lu Xiang.
Qixiayuan
Qiao Jingru excitedly told Lu Xiang about Qiao Zeran's romantic character. To sum it up, she told Lu Xiang to avoid him next time he saw him and never be fooled by his sweet words.
"Come, have some tea." Lu Xiang handed the teacup to Qiao Jingru with a smile.
Qiao Jingru took the glass and drank it all: "Do you remember what I told you?"
"I've got it." Lu Xiang nodded obediently: "But sister-in-law, that's your third brother. Third brother Qiao will cry if he knows you made up this story."
"He is thick-skinned and doesn't care. You are young and easily bewitched."
Lu Xiang thought, considering her past and present lives, she was not young at all, and it was impossible for her to be easily bewitched by another man.
However, listening to Qiao Jingru's whispering in her ear, Lu Xiang felt her heart filled with warmth.
In her previous life, she had been in competition with Qiao Jingru. She only knew that everyone in the Qiao family treated her like a jewel, but she did not understand each person's personality.
…
Qiao Yuanan went to Qingshan Academy to study after completing the admission procedures. He originally thought that he could be in the same class with Lu Chao so that they could take care of each other, but unexpectedly, they were separated in the end. The reason was that Lu Chao was a poor student, and the dean had tested Qiao Yuanan's knowledge and was pleasantly surprised to find that he was a good candidate for the top scorer in a subject, so of course he had to be nurtured with special attention.
In the letter she sent back, the fifth sister praised Lu Chao highly, saying that he had neglected sleep and food many times in order to study, which made him always believe that Lu Chao was a talented person with a lot of knowledge.
After all this time, you’re still only half-baked?
Qiao Yuanan was... quite sudden.
Girl, how strong is your mentality that you can praise your husband without blushing or getting nervous?
This guy is exaggerating too much!
But no matter what, they were still in the same academy, and they could have lunch together occasionally if they met. However, Qiao Yuanan was disgusted by the friends Lu Chao made from the bottom of his heart. He wanted to give him a few words of warning, but then he thought that the people here were either rich or noble, and he couldn't afford to offend them, so he gave up the idea. He also realized that Lu Chao was not close to his uncle, and at most he was just polite to him because of their kinship.
After this happened so many times, Qiao Yuanan was no longer willing to put up with the cold shoulder.
As long as he can live peacefully with his sister, Qiao Yuanan doesn't mind Lu Chao's attitude towards him.
A month later, the eldest brother of the Qiao family finally arrived in the capital.
He did not go to the house they rented, but went directly to Qingshan Academy to wait for Qiao Yuanan to finish class.
Although Qiao Zhiyan is a businessman, he looks more elegant and refined than Qiao Yuanan, a scholar. Standing from a distance, he has a rather noble demeanor.
As soon as Qiao Yuanan walked out of the gate of Qingshan Academy, he saw Qiao Zhiyan waiting beside the carriage.
"Brother." He waved at Qiao Zhiyan.
"Second brother." Qiao Zhiyan showed a bright smile and strode towards him: "Didn't you say that you were in the same academy with your brother-in-law? Why didn't I see him come out with you?"
"I'm not in the same class with him. I guess he left with his friends." Qiao Yuanan said, "It's been a long journey, let's go home first."
"Okay, let's talk while walking." Qiao Zhiyan said, and got into the carriage with Qiao Yuanan.
I first asked about Qiao Jingru's situation, and felt relieved when I learned that she was doing well. I will not leave after coming to Beijing this time, and there will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future.
"The most important thing now is to buy the house first, Dad and Mom, so that Fourth Brother and your sister-in-law and nephew can come to the capital. Otherwise, the whole family will have nowhere to live." Qiao Zhiyan said, "I asked you to look at the house, how do you think it is?"
Qiao Yuanan said: "Well, we finally selected three mansions, and we are waiting for big brother to make the decision."
Qiao Zhiyan: "Okay, then let's go and finalize the house tomorrow. We'll change what needs to be changed and rebuild what needs to be rebuilt."
The next day, when the three brothers of the Qiao family were about to go out to see the house, they saw Qiao Jingru standing at the door with a smile on her face as soon as they opened the door. The moment she saw Qiao Zhiyan, she jumped up and rushed towards him.
"Brother."
Qiao Zhiyan was surprised and delighted, hugging her sister in ecstasy: "Why are you here?"
Qiao Jingru curled her lips: "Brother said that you didn't come to the Lu family to see me first when you came to Beijing."
"I'm thinking of buying a house and settling down as soon as possible before looking for you." Qiao Zhiyan touched Qiao Jingru's head and said with gentle eyes.
Qiao Jingru: "Second brother and third brother have just arrived in the capital not long ago, so they definitely can't find a comfortable and satisfactory mansion. I found one for you. I went to see it a few days ago. To be honest, it's more magnificent than Lu Mansion."
Qiao Zeran was surprised, with a pair of peach blossom eyes full of infinite romance: "Sister, don't brag. You have only been in the capital with the Lu family for half a year. How could you find a comfortable and satisfactory house, and it is more magnificent than the Lu Mansion. Why don't the Lu family buy it?"
Qiao Jingru looked at her third brother proudly and said, "I can't find it by myself, but I have Xiangxiang. When she learned that we were looking for a house, she immediately pointed to this mansion and asked me to take a look. Although it is not on the main street, it covers a large area. It was also a business in its early years. Because it offended the powerful, it had to sell it and hide back in its hometown. As for why the Lu family didn't buy it, third brother, this mansion costs 100,000 taels, and the Lu family can't afford it."
As for the current Lu Mansion, it was half gifted and half bought by the Emperor because my father was promoted to Minister. Otherwise, how could they afford to live in a mansion bigger than Yangning City.
So it’s not that I don’t want it, it’s that I’m really poor.
Qiao Zeran's mouth twitched fiercely: "So... expensive!"
One hundred thousand taels...Are all houses in the capital so expensive?
Qiao Zhiyan said, "Since the Third Miss likes it, why not go and take a look? If it's really good, we can buy it for 100,000 taels. After all, it will be our home in the future, so we can't just settle for less."
