Gu Jingshu deliberately said: "What is not blessed, I, I just hope that this child can be safe and sound, and Qiao Qiao will have many companions." ”

Multiple companions?

Hehe, let's talk about it when I'm born safely.

"It's good to come back safely, sister-in-law should recuperate well, and say something if you need it." Gan Wan's sudden enthusiasm caught Gu Jingshu off guard.

Qiao Lixi glanced at her quietly.

"Yes, sister-in-law, if you need it, just ask, everyone is a family, don't be polite."

"Thank you." Gu Jingshu said politely.

looked at Xue Tao and said apologetically: "I'm going to trouble my younger brother and sister during this time." ”

"Sister-in-law, what are these words?" Xue Tao said angrily, "Family, it's a matter of being so polite." Sister-in-law, don't worry about these messy things, take care of your body, if you don't think we're noisy, let people talk when we're bored, we'll nag here at my sister-in-law. ”

"This dare is good," Gu Jingshu immediately said, "I'm just afraid of being idle, the lord and Qiao Qiao are busy outside now, and they haven't seen anyone for several days, and they are all alone when they eat, and they have no appetite." ”

"Then we have to come to my sister-in-law's place from time to time to eat."

A few people said a few words to each other, and when they saw Gu Jingshu's tired face, the group left.

Ganwan's attitude made Qiao Yixi very interesting.

Sanfang is the most low-key in Qiao's house, and the business is also in southern Sichuan, where Gan Wan's mother's house is located, and it does not rely on the name of Qiao's family or Qiao Xingbang.

In the past, Qiao Yixi thought that this was deliberately done by the second and third rooms for the old witch to see, and it was also a means of self-preservation, but now that I look at it, it doesn't seem to be the case.

The second room has always been the fourth room.

Qiao Sanye is away all the year round, and Gan Wan takes the only sister-in-law in the third room, Qiao Jin, the eldest grandson of the Qiao family, who lives in the west courtyard and does not easily join in the fun. Today, although Gan Wan's words are not many and the amount of information is small, the attitude that can be expressed is very interesting.

Qiao Lixi rubbed her jaw and smiled obscenely.

Gu Jingshu shook her head amusedly, "Qiaoqiao, what are you thinking?" ”

"No," Qiao Yixi walked up to Gu Jingshu and leaned on her meekly, "Mother, you don't have to take care of the people in those rooms, you take care of your body, if you want to live in the East Courtyard, you can live in the East Courtyard, and if you want to live in Zhuangzi, you can live in Zhuangzi." ”

"Yo, this breath is ...... sideways" Gu Jingshu stretched out her finger, tapped twice on Qiao Lixi's forehead, and said with a solemn expression, "Your father told you?" ”

"It's all said, mother, don't worry, my daughter is measured."

Gan Wan hurriedly returned to the west courtyard and went directly into the bedroom, where Qiao Sanye was waiting.

"Master."

"I'm back." Qiao Sanye nodded slightly.

Gan Wan walked to sit down opposite Qiao Sanye, flattered to take the tea he handed over, took a sip, and relieved herself before saying, "The concubine did what the master ordered, but I didn't know Qiao Qiao...... Can you understand. ”

"Don't underestimate Qiao Lixi, she is much smarter than you see."

Seeing Gan Wan's disbelieving appearance, Qiao Sanye said with a smile: "You have also seen the changes before and after Qiao Lixi, Sifang thought that he had raised Qiao Lixi crookedly as he wished, but he didn't want to, he was the one who was deceived." It's funny to look at it, the fourth daughter-in-law is such a smart person, and she will be played with by a child, and now, the most angry person is Xue Tao. ”

"Master, did you say that Qiao Qiao was targeting us?" This is what Gan Wan is most worried about.

Qiao Sanye shook his head, "I don't know if Qiao Yixi is targeting our three rooms, but she and Zhong Chenglin's tea shop has opened in southern Sichuan, and in just half a month, it has monopolized sixty percent of the tea in southern Sichuan." ”

Gan Wan bit her cheek angrily, "The people in the long house are rich, and the Zhong family is not short of silver, in order to monopolize the tea in southern Sichuan, they actually raised the price and raised the price of tea by 20%, and they were determined not to give us a way to live!" ”

Qiao Sanye was also anxious.

Although the tea business of Sanfang is better than that of other houses except for Changfang, most of them also rely on the support of Gan Wan's mother's family, and they are also located in southern Sichuan, which is far away from Jincheng. Now, Qiao Lixi and Zhong Chenglin have purchased the industry at a high price, disrupting the tea market in southern Sichuan, and the economic source of Sanfang may be cut off.

If it was just a simple business, it would be fine, he was worried that Qiao Yixi had other purposes.

Therefore, he took the opportunity of Gan Wan's visit to Gu Jingshu to indirectly express Sanfang's attitude, hoping that Qiao Yixi could look at the face and raise his hand to Sanfang.

This kind of hope is very small, but if you don't try, you will not be willing after all. Over the years, although Sanfang has not participated in the things that Sifang has done, when he was designing Qiao Lixi in Sifang and calculating Gu Jingshu, he did not help, Mingzhe protected himself, and there was no merit or fault, so it is really difficult to ask Qiao Lixi's subordinates to be merciful now.

"Master, do you think Qiao Qiao can understand the meaning of the concubine?" It's not that Gan Wan is too careful, it's that she doesn't have hope for Qiao Lixi, and she is worried that Qiao Lixi won't be able to understand what she means.

"Why don't you talk to Qiaoqiao about it?"

"No need," Qiao Sanye shook his head, "It's not the time yet, and besides, I don't want to stand in line." ”

I don't want to stand in line, but I also want to get benefits from Qiao Yixi, how can there be such a good thing?

After thinking for a few seconds, Qiao Sanye said: "Let's take a look at the situation again, it's really not good, I'll talk to the eldest brother." ”

Now it seems that this is the only way to go.

Gan Wan nodded worriedly.

……

In the past few days, Qiao Jinwen has been going out frequently, and every time she comes back, she has a spring on her face, and she looks like a girl with spring.

Everyone in the Qiao family knew that Sifang was talking about big business, and Qiao Siye didn't hide it from the people in the other rooms, so instead of hiding it, it was better to do it generously.

It's just that for Qiao Siye taking Qiao Jinwen out to do business, the people in several rooms are disdainful.

Qiao Jinwen was cultivated according to the standards of everyone's ladies, Xue Tao never concealed her utilitarian heart, Qiao Jinwen is going to marry into a wealthy family in the future, so she has also learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting over the years.

Trade?

Fourth Master Qiao is afraid that he was stimulated by Qiao Yixi, and thinks that he can also cultivate a Chamber of Commerce president, right?

Regarding the actions of the fourth room, the people in several rooms all have an attitude of watching the show, but Qiao Lixi is cautious and asks people to follow Qiao Siye and Qiao Jinwen, so their whereabouts are clear.

It is precisely because of this clarity that Qiao Lixi is even more strange.

Before Gu Jinzhen left, she explained everything clearly, so she knew Gu Jinzhen's true identity and what Sifang was doing.

Gu Jinzhen said vaguely, only saying that he was a person with a very high status in the court, and the people in the fourth room were trying to cling to it, presumably Qiao Laosi was in contact with the so-called nobles when he went out early and returned late these days. As for bringing Qiao Jinwen, it would be better to understand, since ancient times, heroes have been sad about the beauty, and the beauty is planning something, saving worry, time and effort.

The noble man brought his right-hand man, but fortunately, it was Gu Jinzhen's brother.

Although Gu Jinzhen didn't elaborate, but she watched a lot of house fights, Qiao Lixi automatically made up for it, and she guessed seventy-seven-eighty-eight, but she didn't know whether Qiao Jinwen was lustful and seductive, whether it was a noble person or Gu Jinzhen's cheap brother. However, with the ambition and utilitarianism of Qiao Laosi and Qiao Jinwen, the first choice should be the nobles.

Of course, these are not what she is most concerned about, what she is more interested in is what kind of "business" Qiao Siye is going to do.

"I have contact with the nobles in the court," Qiao Yixi rubbed her chin and said to Mama Shen, "The ambition is really big enough, Mama, you say, is the fourth room just for the Qiao family?" ”

is just plotting against the Qiao family's property, this move is too "overkill", that is, for more power and status?

This is not difficult to understand, after all, Qiao Xingbang is not the real eldest son of the Qiao family, so Qiao Laosi wants to compete for the family property, but this involves the secret of the year, and it is related to the reputation of the old witch, to solve this matter in a proper way, it is necessary to have the strength to absolutely suppress the long house.

But no matter who you ask for help, you have to come up with corresponding benefits, which is the most basic condition for cooperation.

So, what exactly is Sifang trying to do?

Qiao Yixi chuckled.

I've watched a lot of palace fighting dramas, and it's not hard to guess.

In this case, the separation of the family must be accelerated.

……

North Courtyard.

Qiao Jinwen looked at the list in her hand, and there was more arrogance on her face than shyness.

These were all sent by Gu Jin Xuan Gu Gongzi, and in the past few days of contact, she has also tested the details of the other party.

The son-in-law of the Marquis of Dingguo, although he is not as good as the three princes, he is also a hot figure in the capital.

She still knows a little about the princes and nobles of the dynasty.

Dingguo Hou is the emperor's cronies, and there are twin sons under his knees, this Gu Jinxuan is the eldest son, although Dingguo Hou has not yet established a son, but Gu Jinxuan is the eldest son and grandson, and he is also the last candidate to become the son. In addition, now that Gu Jinxuan is by the side of the three princes, the three princes will succeed in the future, Gu Jinxuan has the merit of being a dragon, and he must have real power in his hands. If the third prince did not succeed, Gu Jinxuan inherited the title of Marquis of Dingguo, but he had no real power in his hands, and he would have weight in the capital circle.

Moreover, the most critical point is that compared with the third prince, Gu Jinxuan is more suitable for her!

Gu Jinxuan and Sifang are both under the command of the third prince, and their status is comparable, although the Qiao family is a businessman, they have money in their hands, and the right is matched with money, a perfect match!

Moreover, with Gu Jinxuan, it is easier for her to be the main room, and with the third prince, if she is lucky, she is only a side concubine at most, even if the third prince succeeds in the future, it will be difficult for her to become one of the four concubines.

After thinking about it, Qiao Jinwen calculated from all aspects, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Gu Jinxuan was her best choice.

Therefore, in the past few days, she has actively followed her father out to socialize.

One has a heart, the other has an intention, there is a faint meaning between Gu Jinxuan and her, it depends on when it becomes clear.

No, these things sent by Gu Jinxuan are the best in the capital, and those sent by Gu Sheng are simply worlds apart!

This also shows the weight of her in Gu Jinxuan's heart.
