Chapter 10 Jiaojiao is one month old



Under the careful care of the whole family, Qiao Jiaojiao finally turned one month old!

The Qiao family started preparing for the full moon banquet five days ago, and Qiao Zhongguo personally took care of everything to make sure it was a complete success.

When His Majesty heard that the Qiao family's little girl was about to turn one month old, he waved his hand in the palace:

"Prince, please go to the Qiao family to congratulate them on my behalf."

This is a favor from His Majesty. If it happened to someone else, it would be an honor that they could never ask for.

Qiao Zhongguo thanked the emperor profusely in the palace, but he couldn't help feeling worried when he returned home.

Their Qiao family is really eye-catching now.

However, this favor is not entirely without benefits.

Qiao Zhongguo decided to bring Qiao Jiaojiao in front of everyone. Who knows what incredible secrets might be revealed by then. It would be better for the Qiao family to make plans early and seize the initiative!

Mrs. Qiao personally reviewed the invitation to the full moon banquet. She specially added the name of Han Jia, the Minister of Works, hoping to meet her future daughter-in-law in advance.

On the day of the full moon, Mrs. Qiao dressed up Qiao Jiaojiao carefully.

The little person was lying on the bed, with round and bright eyes, fair and smooth skin, a small bun on his head, a festive red dress and tiger-head shoes. He was really as cute as the dolls in the New Year pictures.

Mrs. Qiao held Qiao Jiaojiao in her arms lovingly and asked Aunt Liu in a gentle voice.

"Have all the supplies been delivered to the relief hall?"

Madam Liu was delighted and nodded repeatedly, "Madam, don't worry. I sent it over early this morning, and it's in the name of the young lady."

"Those children are fatherless and motherless and homeless. They are really pitiful. Now, thanks to the kindness of the lady and the young lady, their lives are much better."

When Qiao Jiaojiao heard about the relief hall for the first time, she realized that her mother had been doing good deeds in her name.

Her heart trembled slightly. Wait, isn’t this a merit?

Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao immediately called out the Merit Mall.

She took a closer look and was instantly overjoyed.

[Ahhh! The merit points have increased to 120! Mommy, you are so awesome! ]

[Woohoo, money is really useful. I helped so many people at once, which is equivalent to one fifth of the merits I gained in my previous life! ]

Although Mrs. Qiao didn't understand what the merit was, when she saw Qiao Jiaojiao so happy, she knew she had done nothing wrong.

"Mammy, you can't stop doing good deeds. From now on, you don't need my instructions every month. Just transfer the money on time. It's really not easy for those children."

Nanny Liu responded quickly.

As time passed, guests soon arrived in twos and threes.

After Mrs. Qiao came out of the confinement period, her complexion not only did not deteriorate, but she became even more radiant.

She sat in the back hall to receive guests, and her wife couldn't help but exclaim when she saw her.

Qiao Jiaojiao hummed proudly, and her cute appearance attracted the attention of the ladies again.

Soon, the back hall was filled with guests. Qiao Jiaojiao was passed around by everyone, and her wrists and neck were immediately covered with gold jewelry.

At this time, someone outside the door sang, "Mrs. Han and Miss Han are here to congratulate you—"

Mrs. Qiao's eyes lit up instantly when she heard that. Qiao Jiaojiao's big eyes were exactly the same as Mrs. Qiao's. Both mother and daughter looked out the door with anticipation.

At this time, there were whispers in the room.

"The Han family? Doesn't their family not attend any banquets?"

"Hey, you only pretend to be noble on weekdays, but today you come here eagerly, don't you?"

When Mrs. Qiao heard these criticisms, she frowned and stood up.

At this time, two people came out of the house.

The lady on the left looks to be in her late 40s. Although her clothes are festive in color, you can still see traces of her old age.

She frowned slightly, and faced everyone's stares with a calm expression, neither sad nor happy.

Next to her was a young girl in a light yellow dress, with a slender figure and a straight back.

Qiao Jiaojiao looked closely at the girl's features. She wasn't particularly stunning, but she was beautiful, calm, and neither arrogant nor impetuous.

[Ahhh! Mom! It’s my sister-in-law! Your future daughter-in-law! I like her so much! Woohoo, I fell in love with her at first sight!]

Qiao Jiaojiao looks at Miss Han through the filter of the original novel, while Mrs. Qiao looks at the upbringing and character revealed in her behavior.

At first sight, Mrs. Qiao fell in love with Miss Han.

She is beautiful, intelligent, and exquisite, and she definitely deserves the title of the young lady of the Qiao family.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Qiao held Qiao Jiaojiao and went to greet them in person.

Everyone was surprised by this honor.

Mrs. Han did not expect that Mrs. Qiao would come to greet her in person, so she hurriedly greeted her.

She had not wanted to attend any banquets, for one thing, her husband was a lone minister and she could not hold him back.

Second, she is really not good at speaking and doesn't want to offend anyone.

But on the day when I received the invitation from the Qiao Mansion, my husband said that I must attend the banquet.

There is no other reason, it’s just that Censor Qiao is the only person my husband respects in the court.

Mrs. Han originally thought that the wives of these wealthy families were extremely difficult to get along with, but now, when she saw the gentle and beautiful Mrs. Qiao, she immediately felt like she was basking in a spring breeze.

"I'm a little late, please forgive me, Madam."

Mrs. Qiao smiled and shook her head. "It's not too late, it's still early."

She slightly side-glanced, her eyes gently fell on Miss Han, and asked with a smile: "Who is this?"

Miss Han took the initiative to step forward and bowed gracefully. Madam Han then said, "This is my little daughter Yaxian. She is so weak and ugly that she has embarrassed herself in front of you, madam."

Mrs. Qiao is a mother-in-law who likes her daughter-in-law more and more.

She knew her son well enough. The eldest said that he was a deep-minded person, but in fact he was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Only a quiet, gentle and cultured woman could get along with him.

Mrs. Han noticed Mrs. Qiao's gaze, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw her looking at her daughter with satisfaction.

I heard that the eldest son of the Qiao family is eighteen years old, a famous scholar in the capital, and still unmarried...

Mrs. Han's thoughts stopped here and she didn't dare to think any further.

The Han family's status is far from that of the Qiao family, and the master has a bad reputation. If Yaxian marries into such a wealthy family, she will probably be wronged.

On this side, although the ladies did not dare to comment, they exchanged glances, trying to guess Mrs. Qiao's intentions.

At this time, a voice came from outside the door again: "Mrs. Meng and Miss Meng are here to congratulate you!"

Qiao Jiaojiao was still immersed in the temperament of her beautiful sister-in-law and couldn't extricate herself. When she heard about the Meng family, she was instantly excited.

[Heroine! The heroine is here again! ]

[Let her see my real sister-in-law’s elegance and style, and let her know that the ladies cultivated with great efforts in the ancient official residences are no less beautiful than the time-traveling girls! ]

When Mrs. Qiao heard this, her brows suddenly frowned.

Her husband had long told her that the Meng family was planning to form a marriage alliance with their Qiao family, and that this ten-year-old girl was very opinionated and had fallen in love with their eldest son!

She wanted to see what the woman that Jiaojiao cared so much about looked like.
