Originally, those people followed them to Jincheng without moving, watching them in the dark, and did not make any other moves. It was only after seeing that she brought down a war horse from the mountain, or a majestic and unattainable war horse, everyone's minds were active, and the previous caution was replaced by madness.

"Miss, in the past few days, there have been several times more woodcutters and medicine farmers on the mountain than usual, and even the Zhuangzi that is far away from the camp has also had a few more merchants."

There is no need for Angelica to elaborate, Qiao Yixi also knows that these are people who are tempting.

"Miss, these people are only inquiring about the news at present, and there will be no further action, whether it is the Shen family army or the horse farm, they are all from the Marquis of Zhenyuan, they will not, let alone dare to rob blatantly, the slave and maid estimate that they will start from two aspects."

Qiao Yixi nodded and motioned for Angelica to continue.

"The slave maid guessed that on the one hand, these people would find an opportunity to contact the young lady and get information, and on the other hand, they would start from the inside of the Shen family army and the horse farm."

Qiao Lixi nodded in agreement.

Compared with Zhenyuan Hou and Gu Jinzhen, she is the weakest and the most brainless, if those people start with her, it is very likely to get unexpected results.

On the other hand, those people persevered in looking for a breakthrough in the mountains, in case they were found, it was better to get these resources from the soldiers of the Shen family's army or from the people of the horse farm, than to go it alone.

It's just that no matter which way you start, if you want to legally hold the Shen family army and the horse farm in your hands, you still have to get the approval of the people and the acquiescence of the old emperor, which is not an easy task. Unless, both of these things fall into the hands of a certain prince.

Qiao Lixi rubbed her jaw and suddenly changed the topic, "Master and Mrs. have been okay for the past two days?" ”

Angelica was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The lord and the lady have received a lot of greetings in the past two days, but they all refused because of the fatigue of the journey, and today I took the little master to the Zhuangzi to recuperate." ”

Qiao Yixi felt a little guilty in her heart.

For her own business, her father and mother sacrificed a lot and gave her all her autonomy, and the two silently supported her behind her, from every aspect.

It is her luck and blessing to meet such parents who understand righteousness and dote on her.

"Ming'er, we will also stay in Zhuangzi for two days."

Although the matter at hand has not been dealt with, the family is more important.

……

Qiao Pingyi has already begun to learn to walk, and he was originally happy to see his teeth and eyes in a special walker, but when he saw Qiao Lixi, he immediately stretched out his hands, and his dark eyes were burning and shining.

Qiao Yixi deliberately stood still in place.

The smile on Qiao Pingyi's face remained for a few seconds, and gradually fell, with a small mouth pouting, looking like he wanted to cry or not.

Qiao Yixi was immediately happy and scooped him up from the walker.

"Ahh

Qiao Lixi responded while carrying Qiao Pingyi back under the eaves.

Gu Jingshu sat by the door, watching her son play treasure, and when Qiao Yixi walked over with Qiao Pingyi in her arms, she asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"Why, now that my mother has a son, she dislikes her daughter?"

"You cramped devil!" Gu Jingshu tapped Qiao Lixi's nose twice, and asked Mama Zhong to take Qiao Pingyi before saying, "Mother doesn't want you to run on both sides, I'm tired." Since you think that your mother doesn't hurt you, it's just right, the sweet and sour pork ribs and boiled meat in the kitchen don't need to be cooked. ”

"Don't, mother, my daughter is talking nonsense, why should you take it seriously!" Qiao Lixi began to play treasure, and Qiao Pingyi babbled on the side.

Gu Jingshu glared at Qiao Yixi with disgust, "They are all married, and they are not all on the right track!" ”

Qiao Yixi simply sat down beside Gu Jingshu, leaned on her arm and said, "Don't say that my daughter is just married now, even if my daughter is a mother, my mother will not dislike her daughter." ”

"You're eating Dingniang, right?" Gu Jingshu couldn't cry or laugh.

Qiao Yixi didn't answer, but affirmed her answer with actions.

Qiao Xingbang came back in the evening, and was happy to see Qiao Lixi, so he added a pot of flower carvings to the kitchen.

Qiao Lixi leaned over to the flask and sniffed it.

"It tastes good."

"It was sent by Li Rui." Qiao Xingbang took the wine glass and poured it a little for Qiao Yixi.

It's just that the wine glass was stopped by Gu Jingshu before it was delivered to Qiao Lixi, "You are not a spoiled daughter." ”

Qiao Xingbang smiled innocently, "It's okay for Qiao Qiao to drink less." ”

Seeing that Qiao Xingbang was happy, and Qiao Yixi herself was about to move, Gu Jingshu made a concession, "Drink less and eat more vegetables." ”

"Uh-huh." Qiao Yixi nodded busily.

took a sip carefully, and the spicy taste made Qiao Yixi stick out her tongue.

The bar chirps with an aftertaste, a hint of sweetness spreads from the tip of the tongue, and there is a faint fragrance.

"Why did Li Ruicheng send wine?" Taking a sip of wine with satisfaction, Qiao Lixi asked in hindsight.

"Daddy and Li Ruicheng's pharmacy has been doing very well recently, so he sent something over."

Qiao Yixi sneered at Li Rui's flattering behavior, "Hasn't the Li family always looked down on our Qiao family?" Before, Li Ruicheng never came to our Qiao family, and when Qiao Linzi was not dead, he divorced his wife, and his two sons are now with the fourth room! ”

Qiao Xingbang explained: "Li Ruicheng is not a business material, the Li family has such a big thing, not only the business has been hit hard, but even Mrs. Li's body and bones are not as good as before, Li Ruicheng needs silver, who can he find who is willing to cooperate with him, except for his father?" ”

"So, Daddy picked up a big bargain?" Qiao Lixi deliberately teased.

Qiao Xingbang shook his head, "It turns out that you see your father like this?" ”

Qiao Yixi deliberately laughed exaggeratedly.

Qiao Xingbang said step by step: "Qiao Qiao, you have to remember that businessmen and officials are the same, one is heavy on profit, the other is greedy for power, and when the interests are the same, even if there is a hatred for killing his father, he will also call him a brother." People who are too upright will live a very hard life. Daddy is not teaching you to be hypocritical and wrong, nor is he teaching you to be unscrupulous. You can keep your original intention, and your father is happier than anyone else. However, you must know that no matter how good a friend is, no matter how strong a friendship is, it may one day fall apart, so it is necessary to be defensive and do not trust your partner absolutely. ”

Qiao Yixi nodded instructively.

It sounds cruel, but she's not a three-year-old, that's the reality.

Besides, Li Ruicheng and Qiao Xingbang did not have a deep hatred, he initially looked down on the Qiao family, after all, at that time, although the Qiao family developed well, if you really want to talk about the background, the Li family is longer.

Later, Qiao Linzi gave Li Ruicheng a green hat, and Li Ruicheng's hatred of the Qiao family brought humiliation, but no matter how big the humiliation was, it was all floating clouds in front of food, clothing, housing and transportation!

It's only when you fill your stomach that you have a big deal.

Qiao Xingbang's character and ability are there, unless Li Ruicheng is a fool to put such a good resource without it.

And, in his opinion, this is what the Qiao family owes him!

As Qiao Linzi's eldest brother, Qiao Xingbang has the responsibility and obligation to help Qiao Linzi repay her debts!

Qiao Xingbang didn't think about it that much.

In business.

In his subconscious, as long as there is money to be made, there is nothing that cannot be done without violating the law and morality.

At that time, Qiao Xingbang had just developed the northern part of Sichuan, so it was a good opportunity to cooperate with Li Ruicheng!

"Li Jue and Li Rui are still in the academy in the capital?"

After the two followed Sifang to the capital, they entered the academy in the capital with Qiao Yi.

Perhaps because they knew the difficulties under the fence, the two of them were rarely sensible, except for the fourth room when the year was over, and the rest of the time stayed in the academy.

How hard the two worked, Qiao Yixi didn't know, anyway, the two didn't intersect.

Qiao Xingbang nodded, "It should be in the academy, the two children arrived in the capital, and they have converged a lot." ”

For the two nephews, although Qiao Xingbang doesn't care, he doesn't want the two children to grow crooked.

In the past, it was because of Qiao Linzi's doting that she had undergone changes, and it was time to learn to grow up.

After chatting a few words and drinking two sips of Huadiao wine, Qiao Yixi returned to the bedroom satisfied.

No drowsiness.

I don't know if it's because of the wine, or because I still recognize the bed, Qiao Lixi turned around twice in the bedroom, and finally stood by the bed.

It's rare to see such a bright moon in early summer.

Yellow, orange, shiny, and beautiful.

Qiao Lixi propped her hands on the window lattice, and suddenly smiled.

"I don't know if you have such a beautiful moon there."

stayed in Zhuangzi for one night, and the next day, Qiao Yixi went to the ancestral house of the Marquis of Zhenyuan in Jincheng non-stop.

It stands to reason that she should have come to see it a long time ago, but it was delayed because of the military camp and horse farm.

After returning from the horse farm, he only sent the war horse over, and went to Zhuangzi first.

There is no way, although there is a stable in his house, it is not suitable for war horses, and when the war horse stands in the stable, those few foot horses are like a plague, trembling and swinging.

In order to appease these timid foot power horses, and in order to give the horses a spacious environment, she simply separated the horses.

"Young lady."

The maid respectfully welcomed Qiao Lixi in.

This is not the first time Qiao Lixi has been to the ancestral house of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, she and Gu Jinzhen came in when they "met" for the first time, so they are quite familiar.

At this time, Qiao Yixi's attention was not on the surrounding environment, but thinking about the different names of the people around Gu Jinzhen.

Astragalus and wolfberry because they are their own maids, so they have always called her "Miss", and they have not changed their words, and Angelica also called her the same as Astragalus because of the deed of sale in her hands.

And Shen Jiajun called her "Madame", and the people of Zhenyuan Marquis called her "Young Madame......

The corners of Qiao Lixi's forehead twitched.

When, you have to unify the name.

"Miss, it's black charcoal!"

The group was walking inside, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, which was not light, but very slow.

Goji berries excitedly glanced around, just in time to catch a glimpse of the shadow of black charcoal.

The majestic war horse took such a down-to-earth name, and Qiao Lixi was very pleased.
