Text Chapter 146 Occasional Jumps
Qiao Lixi's words are naturally not believed, but she said it in such detail and sincerity, what else can Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai say?
After a few perfunctory words absentmindedly, Qiao Ningdai suddenly said: "Qiaoqiao, you have been absent from the poetry meeting several times, and the poetry meeting the day after tomorrow, you can't be absent anymore, otherwise, your third sister and I won't be able to help you carry it anymore." β
"It's still the fifth sister who hurts me," Qiao Lixi said deliberately disgustingly, "I really couldn't leave the first few times, and I will definitely go to the poetry meeting the day after tomorrow." β
"Qiaoqiao has to prepare well, this is for you." Qiao Ningdai took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to Qiao Yixi.
"What is this?"
"The fifth sister asked the master of the clan to make two poems, which can be used the day after tomorrow."
What?
Seeing that Qiao Yixi was confused, Qiao Ningdai explained: "Since it is a poetry club, poetry and painting must be indispensable, the fifth sister knows that you have a headache, so she will prepare it for you first, you are familiar with it, and you can just be silent the day after tomorrow." β
"It's still the best fifth sister." Qiao Yixi shook Qiao Ningdai's arm coquettishly.
"Fifth sister is good, I'm not good." Qiao Jinwen said with a taste.
"The third sister is good, the third sister is as good as the fifth sister."
It's a coincidence.
The organizer of this poetry meeting is Wang Min, which can be said to be narrow.
The venue is a teahouse in Jincheng, Qiao Lixi stood at the door and smiled, this is the teahouse of Qiao's three-room family, it is the teahouse that Qiao Sanye is filial to Mrs. Qiao specially opened in Jincheng, in summer and autumn, Mrs. Qiao often gathers here with old friends.
Wang Min wrapped two private rooms, the middle door was removed, and the two private rooms became a large private room.
Wang Min asked her subordinates to rearrange the private room early, and in order to fit the theme, the private room was also hung with famous calligraphy and paintings borrowed from her grandfather, and flowers were placed to suit the occasion.
Before Qiao Lixi entered the private room, she felt a faint smell of books.
I have to say that businessmen are the best at superficial things, and if they have money, what can't they buy?
"Jojo is here." Wang Min took the initiative to say hello.
"Miss Wang."
After the two met, Wang Min did not embarrass Qiao Yixi for the first time, but said affectionately: "I finally invited you today, you haven't seen the previous poetry meetings, and I'm afraid I won't be able to invite you to this big Buddha." β
"Miss Wang said with a smile," Qiao Yixi said hypocritically following Wang Min's appearance, "Qiao Qiao was unwell before, and there were more things in the yard, so she didn't attend the party, and Qiao Qiao also knew that many people in the circle were dissatisfied with Qiao Qiao. No, Qiao Qiao will make a special trip to attend Miss Wang's party with the third and fifth sisters today. β
"I'm going to have a good time today, Jinwen, I'll take you over first."
Sitting down, Qiao Yixi glanced around.
Several sons and brothers have gathered together in groups of three or five, and they are talking about the famous teacher's paintings on the wall.
Vassal elegance or something, it is still possible to decorate the faΓ§ade.
Qiao Lixi had nothing to do, eating pastries and listening to gossip.
It's just that before she had a piece of hibiscus cake, the enemy came.
"Sister Qiaoqiao?" Sun Xian and Jin Baijin stood together, and they were very surprised to see Qiao Lixi. I was stunned for a moment, as if to avoid suspicion, and opened the distance between me and Kimberkin.
Qiao Yixi looked at the golden fat man playfully.
Kimberkin misunderstood, and hurriedly walked up to her, "Qiaoqiao, it's a misunderstanding, I was pulled." β
"Sister Qiaoqiao, it's Xian Xian and willful." Sun Xian hurriedly followed, and explained with a worried face, "During this time, Brother Yuanbao has been busy with the matter of 'eating the world', and Xian Xian was worried about Brother Yuanbao's body, so she pulled him here. β
"Jojo, I'm ......"
Qiao Lixi raised her hand and made a "stop" movement, "It's okay with me, right?" β
"Sister Qiaoqiao, are you angry?" Sun Xian asked flatteringly.
Qiao Yixi's head is big.
So, she shouldn't have come.
"Okay, Qiaoqiao is not angry, what should you do, why should you go." Kim Birkin suddenly changed his face and said coldly.
Sun Xian stood aggrievedly in place, and immediately someone from the injustice came up to help, "Is it interesting for the two of you to bully Xianxian together?" β
"It's boring." Qiao Yixi shook her head honestly.
The man was stunned, he didn't expect Qiao Lixi to be so "sincere".
Qiao Yixi smiled and said, "I didn't say anything from beginning to end, right?" Framed, slandered or something, don't play, today is a poetry meeting held by Miss Wang, some play, you just have a good time, don't hold on to me, I don't have that idle time. β
The man still wanted to argue a few words, but was pulled by Sun Xian, so she took the opportunity to step aside with Sun Xian.
"Jojo, I'm ......" Kimberkin scratched his head anxiously, trying to explain, but he couldn't get the word out.
Qiao Lixi looked at him for a long time.
As soon as his eyes closed, Kimberkin looked at death and said, "I was really pulled by Miss Sun." β
"Yo, the name has changed, deliberately?" Qiao Lixi teased.
Kimberkin was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, "I was looking at the account book in the 'Meal World', but she suddenly came and said that she had something very important to help me with. I, you also know the relationship between our Jin family and the Sun family, I ......"
"Okay, I understand." Seeing that Jin Baijin's eyes were red in a hurry, Qiao Lixi stopped teasing him, and said in a different tone, "I didn't say anything, why are you so nervous, it doesn't matter if she pulls you here, or if you come by yourself, since you are here, enjoy it." β
Seeing that Qiao Lixi was really not angry, Jin Baijin was relieved, pulled a plate of snacks by himself, put them in front of the two, and sat side by side.
"Qiaoqiao, I heard that Zhong Chenglin came to you before." pretended to be casual, but the eyes that glanced at her were too conspicuous.
Qiao Yixi shook her head amusedly, "Yes, you said something about business?" β
"You're going to do business with him?" Kimberkin didn't mean to question, he just didn't ask it intentionally.
Business partners, naturally, who can earn greater benefits by cooperating with whom, then who to cooperate with, this point, Jin Baijin is very good, and he did not think that Qiao Lixi could only cooperate with him because of cooperating with Qiao Lixi.
"I'm thinking about it, and if it's appropriate, we'll be together."
"Okay." Kimberkin replied casually, he didn't care anyway.
Merely......
His eyes rolled slightly, "Qiaoqiao, it was said outside that the Zhong family was going to kiss Zhong Chenglin, could it really be you?" β
"The outside also said that you borrowed Qiao's house to make a fortune!"
"Hehe," Jin Birkin smiled good-naturedly, "I know those are rumors, but the Zhong family is more low-key than our Jin family, Zhong Chenglin suddenly got close to you, I am worried that he has bad intentions." β
It's not purposeful.
Qiao Lixi sighed depressedly, "I want to borrow my ancestor's power in Chaotianmen." β
Kim Ba Kim nodded reassuringly.
It's good to have a purpose.
The two were talking, and there was a sudden commotion in the private room.
Qiao Lixi looked up and saw Zhong Chenglin dressed in purple, standing there in a daze.
His eyes shrank.
"Jojo?"
Qiao Yixi shook her head, "Let's take a look first." β
With Qiao Yixi's words, Zhong Chenglin was also relieved.
"Young Master Zhong is here, and he is shining." Wang Min stood up for the first time.
Zhong Chenglin smiled warmly: "Miss Wang, don't blame Zhong for coming uninvited. β
"Young Master Zhong's words are outside, they can all be people in the circle, it's a good thing to have the opportunity to move around more, Young Master Zhong is a distinguished guest today."
"Where, where, Zhong participated in the poetry meeting for the first time, and he didn't understand many rules, I hope everyone won't laugh at Zhong when the time comes."
"Young Master Zhong laughed."
The people around laughed a few times.
Zhong Chenglin said a few words to the casual beside him, and walked towards Qiao Lixi.
Everyone looked like "it really was".
"What are you going to do?" Qiao Lixi asked directly.
"Long insight."
"Do you still need to be knowledgeable?" Because Zhong Chenglin and Gu Jinzhen were too close, and on behalf of Gu Jinzhen to cooperate with her, Qiao Lixi didn't have a good face for Zhong Chenglin, "You are a noble son in the capital, and you still need to see in Jincheng?" β
Zhong Chenglin said good-naturedly: "I never participate in this kind of gathering in the capital. β
Hehe, then what are you doing in the capital?
Eating idle meals?
After agreeing to cooperate with Zhong Chenglin, Qiao Lixi asked people to check the bottom of the Zhong family, and the Zhong family can be said to be the most low-key imperial businessman.
Zhong Chenglin is the eldest son of the Zhong family.
Well, that's the word she just figured out.
The Zhong family in Jincheng is actually the concubine of the Zhong family in the capital, Zhong Chenglin's father is a concubine, but he has been raised by his mother since he was a child, and he has a good relationship with his brother-in-law, because his grandfather has already explained to the two children the division of the family and the distribution of property in the future, so although the two brothers are not intimate, there is no substantive contradiction.
The grandmother treated everyone equally, and the two brothers learned to do business with their grandfather.
After Zhong Chenglin's father got married, the Zhong family separated, Zhong Chenglin's father took his wife back to Jincheng to develop, and kept in touch with his brother-in-law in the capital, and also supported each other in business, so the relationship between the two families was very good, Zhong Chenglin often went to the capital, so he had the opportunity to meet Gu Jinzhen.
The relationship between the two is still not ordinarily good.
"Anyway, the three of us have been rumored to be very good recently, and it's not bad for this one."
Zhong Chenglin said lightly, and Qiao Lixi pouted crookedly.
"Good thing I'm here today." Kimberkin's inexplicable sentence.
Qiao Yixi laughed angrily.
"Jojo?" Qiao Ningdai walked over at some point, "Young Master Zhong, Young Master Jin." β
"Miss Qiao."
"Miss Qiao."
After a few people saw the ceremony, Qiao Ningdai said familiarly: "Qiao Qiao has few friends, I didn't expect to talk to Young Master Zhong and Young Master Jin." Qiao Qiao has a wooden temperament, if there is something to offend, I hope that Young Master Zhong and Young Master Jin will bear with him. β
"What is my relationship with Jojo? Inexistent. Kimberkin waved his hand.
Jojo ...... Very good. Zhong Chenglin is full of affection.
The corners of Qiao Yixi's mouth twitched.
Qiao Ningdai's smile froze, hiding the jealousy in her eyes, smiling on the side, and looking for a few topics to talk to herself.
But Zhong Chenglin and Jin Baijin were not very interested, and in the end, Qiao Ningdai finally couldn't hold it anymore, so she casually made an excuse and walked away.
"I remember, you weren't like that before." Qiao Lixi said to Zhong Chenglin seriously.
"Occasionally, there are times when I get out of the way."
