If they really have something to do with the Hou Mansion, it is not something that can be described in a sentence.

Businessmen like them can have a relationship with the county officials, it is a great thing, no matter how rich they are, they can say two words by the prefect's side, and that is the sky.

Hou Mansion, or Zhenyuan Hou Mansion, that is an existence that they can't even think of!

But if this friendship is to be attached through the long house, then they would rather not.

"A blessing in disguise?" Gu Jingshu looked disdainful, "I don't know how my family Qiaoqiao was blessed by misfortune, I didn't see the blessing, I only saw that my family Qiaoqiao needed to drink medicine." ”

"Sister-in-law, you can't say that," Xue Tao said sourly, "Now Qiao Qiao has been wronged, but in the long run, if Qiao Qiao enters the eyes of nobles, her identity will be different in the future." ”

"Fourth brother and sister, you think too much, the Hou Mansion sent something over, but it is just a little compensation for Qiaoqiao, my Qiaoqiao is a few catties and a few taels, we all know, how could she get into the eyes of nobles? Is it worth thinking so much about the noble person's worldly behavior? Jojo is blessed, not that life. ”

The last sentence was obviously said to Old Madam Qiao.

Old Madam Qiao grabbed the armrest of the chair fiercely, forcing herself not to attack on the spot.

The people in the flower hall breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Changfang doesn't use Qiao Lixi to get into a relationship with the Hou Mansion.

Although the Qiao family is not separated now, the business is in the hands of Changfang, how can the people in the other rooms not be jealous?

Although you don't have to worry about it, you can get the money, but who wants to be held back by the long house so much?

Even if they have their own private property in private, they are all petty fights, how can they compare with the huge industry of the Qiao family?

If the Qiao family can have a relationship with the Hou Mansion, it is naturally good, but if they themselves can have a relationship with the Hou Mansion, it will be even better.

"Sister-in-law, what you said ......" Xue Tao sneered, quietly glanced at Old Madam Qiao, and said, "We all hope that Qiao Qiao is good, and those who are so excited today also care about Qiao Qiao." This child was injured, and now I tossed for a long time, and called her here, I also wanted to ask about her situation, and secondly, there was such a big thing today, and we were also afraid that Qiao Qiao would collide with the nobles, so we got together to discuss a charter, and if the Hou Mansion blamed it, we would not be helpless. Sister-in-law, no matter what, we are all for Qiaoqiao's good. ”

Gu Jingshu was noncommittal to Xue Tao's words.

"Alright, now that things are clear, let's all go back. Qiao Qiao has been raising them in the yard during this time, and the things sent by the Hou Mansion should be eaten and used, don't let outsiders think that I, the grandmother, have deducted her or something. Both of you are not in good health, so you don't need to come to me in the morning and dusk, eldest daughter-in-law, you just need to take care of the affairs of the East Courtyard. ”

So, this is to grounding Qiao Yixi, and temporarily take back Gu Jingshu's right to feed?

Huff.

Back in the East Courtyard, Qiao Xingbang told him about the morning.

"So, the Hou Mansion thought that Qiao Qiao's injury in the back of his head was a mistake by someone in their mansion, so he negotiated with you about the aftermath?" Knowing that Qiao Lixi was really fine, Gu Jingshu was completely relieved, and the tone of her conversation with Qiao Xingbang was full of a mocking smile.

"That's not it," Qiao Xingbang also looked narrow, "I didn't lie to them, it's a fact that Qiao Qiao was frightened, and I'm not greedy for that little money, it's just that they always have to take responsibility for what they do." ”

"That's natural, Qiaoqiao came back, her face has been bad, just listening to your description, I am very worried. This kid is weak, even a normal person can't stand running so far in fear in that situation, let alone Qiaoqiao? I didn't want them to bleed heavily, so it was very embarrassing. Gu Jingshu looked angry.

Don't look at her weak appearance, it is related to Qiaoqiao's affairs, her momentum is tougher than anyone else.

"During this time, you and Qiao Qiao will take good care of their bodies, the Hou Mansion has sent so many tonic medicines, and asked the small kitchen to make some medicinal food every day, Qiao Qiao doesn't like to drink medicine, only medicinal food can eat some."

"Why don't you send some to the Intermediate Court?" Gu Jingshu asked with a sharp voice.

Qiao Xingbang smiled good-naturedly, "That was given to Qiao Qiao by the Hou Mansion, what are you doing when you send it to the Intermediate Courtyard?" If my mother needs it, let the kitchen buy it, what's the matter with our East Courtyard? ”

Gu Jingshu snorted crookedly, obviously not satisfied.

Qiao Xingbang hurriedly sat beside her and said flatteringly: "We just need to take care of the affairs of Qiao Qiao and the East Courtyard, after the New Year, Qiao Qiao will be eleven, and what should be prepared should be prepared." ”

"Prepare what?" Gu Jingshu asked vigilantly, "Qiaoqiao is still young, and his body bones have not been well raised, so I will stay for a few more years." ”

"I didn't say that I wanted to show Qiaoqiao immediately, I also wanted to keep Qiaoqiao for a few more years, but what should be prepared, I still have to prepare, such as raising Qiaoqiao's body. As for those dowries, there is no hurry. Since Qiaoqiao was born, we have begun to prepare, those gadgets, we have slowly added them in the past few years. Qiao Xingbang said as he spoke, and he was not in a good mood.

Gu Jingshu's eyes reddened, "Qiaoqiao is my life, my root, I was finally born, raised so big, and in the blink of an eye, I will become someone else's family, I am unwilling." You say, Qiaoqiao is such a well-behaved child, which family is a blessing, I can't bear it. Eh, or ...... Recruiting a son-in-law? ”

She had this idea for a long time, and she never dared to mention it to Qiao Xingbang, because it was related to the interests of the Qiao family.

After the Qiao family separated, the majority of the industry must be in the long house, but there is no male in the long house, Qiao Qiao will marry in the future, she and Qiao Xingbang have no heirs, so the property of the long house will definitely be divided by the people in the three rooms in the end.

Adoptive?

Oh, Gu Jingshu didn't even think about it.

It's not that she looks down on the children of the other rooms, before, the patriarch also euphemistically mentioned that if you don't want to inherit from your own family, then inherit from the clan.

Old Madam Qiao was the first to disagree.

She has two sons and two concubines, why is she cheaper than outsiders?

Gu Jingshu didn't want to get a step-son to respond to herself.

She has always wanted to recruit a son-in-law.

But in this case, the property of the long house will not be able to peep into those rooms, and the old lady will definitely have a moth on her side.

So she kept holding back and didn't say anything, and now she was also emotionally out of control, blurted out, and regretted it after speaking, looking at Qiao Xingbang apologetically.

"You don't believe me that much?" Qiao Xingbang made a hurt look and said, "Actually, I have thought about this problem for a long time, I don't worry about marrying Qiao Qiao outside, Qiao Qiao has a dull temperament, I am afraid that I will suffer a loss at my in-law's house, she is not bad, but she is too sincere, easy to be bullied, if I can, I also want to recruit a son-in-law." ”

"But my mother's ......"

"Mother, I'll tell you. Qiaoqiao's matter, we just call the shots, tell my mother, it's just a notice of the rules, and we don't need my mother to help us make up our minds. As for what you are worried about, the property of our East Courtyard, who I want to give it to is my business, do I still have to look at my brother's face? There may be resistance in the clan, but for so many years, our Qiao family has raised more than 200 people in the clan, and we have done our best. Don't worry, those are human spirits, they won't stir up this troubled water, and they are still worried that I will cut off the supply of the clan. If I can't recruit a son-in-law, it's a big deal, I will put all the property under Qiaoqiao's name, and she will marry with her! Jojo is my daughter, and mine is hers, and no one can fault me! As long as she guards those properties and doesn't be deceived, her life will be very good. ”

"Old man......"

"Okay, these are a few years away, we don't want to do so much, let's take care of our bodies first. There are still a few months before the end of the year, and when the time comes, you take Jojo out and walk around. ”

"That's for sure!" Thinking of Qiao Yixi's appearance of being excluded in the middle courtyard, Gu Jingshu grinded her teeth with hatred.

She knew that most of the reason was because of her, if she was in better health, in charge of the middle feed, and stronger in the backyard, Jojo would not be bullied like this. She knew that the people in those rooms were red-eyed, so she vented her emotions on Qiao Qiao, but they didn't have the ability to do it themselves, obviously each room had private property in their hands, and they were running it to death, who was to blame!

"You change your clothes, I'll call Qiaoqiao over for dinner."

After tossing all morning, Qiao Xingbang and Qiao Lixi didn't have lunch, and when they returned to Qiao's house, Gu Jingshu didn't have time to make arrangements, first the carriage from the Hou Mansion came, and then they all arrived in the middle courtyard, and everyone was hungry.

However, this lunch, it is estimated that except for the people in the East Courtyard, the people in the other rooms will not be able to eat it.

The people of the Hou Mansion will still come, so this is not a one-shot deal, so they all have the opportunity to contact the people of the Hou Mansion!

Like the people in the Qiao family, the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion is also unpeaceful.

After Qiao Xingbang and Qiao Lixi left, Marquis Zhenyuan called Gu Jinzhen to the study.

Hearing the old wife talk about the situation of the two children getting along before, although he was strange, he didn't care, but seeing Qiao Lixi's fear of Gu Jinzhen and Gu Jinzhen's unending attitude, he realized that the matter was a bit serious.

With him and watching the children grow up, what kind of heart, he knows best that today's situation is very abnormal.

The two sat down face to face, and the old marquis stared at Gu Jinzhen scrutinically for a long time, but he didn't speak.

Gu Jinzhen is also a person who can withstand the pressure and calm down, and slowly tastes the tea in his hand.

"When you come back this time, you've been ambushed again?" If there is no beginning and no tail, the grandfather and grandson will understand the meaning.

Seeing Gu Jinzhen nodding, the old marquis said again: "Injured? ”

The interrogative sentence is asked in an affirmative tone.

"Don't think that if you invite an ordinary Langzhong, Lao Tzu won't know! You said, such a big thing, why don't you let Tang Yuan report it, and you are smart enough to invite the bone-setting doctor outside! Count your dead boy's life great, save it, in case...... In case ......"

"Old man, don't be angry, I'm fine, aren't I?" Sensing that the old marquis's breath was unstable, Gu Jinzhen stopped being stubborn and helped the old marquis to calm down.

"Someday I'll be by you dead boy!" The old marquis blew his beard and roared glaringly.
