Xue Tao immediately looked at Fourth Master Qiao, "Mother, we will listen to you about my sister-in-law's future." ”

Old Madam Qiao's face softened, "Lin Zi is no longer a member of the Li family, I want to bury Lin Zi in the ancestral grave of the Qiao family." ”

"...... the patriarch's side"

Old Madam Qiao said disapprerovingly: "It's just a matter of a few hundred taels of silver." ”

In the eyes of Old Madam Qiao, the entire Qiao family relied on the Qiao family to bury Qiao Linzi in the ancestral grave, which was a promotion to the clansmen.

"Brother Jue and Brother Rui are the sons of Linzi, and they are my grandsons, and they are the masters of the Qiao family, you are uncles, brothers and sisters, take care of two more children, the fourth, Brother Jue likes to do business, you take it with you to teach well, Brother Rui, find a suitable academy, if not, go to the surrounding area, or send it to the capital."

"Mother rest assured, Linzi's funeral, my son has already discussed it with the patriarch, and after we arranged it here, our brothers personally sent Linzi over. Jue Ge'er and Rui Ge'er, the son has also been arranged, Jue Ge'er has been doing business with me during this time, Rui Ge'er, I also asked him what he meant, over there in the capital, I also contacted, and when Linzi came out of the first seven, I sent Rui Ge'er over. ”

After arranging these things, Mrs. Qiao continued: "Now, such a big matter from our Qiao family will take a long time to relieve your anger, I hope that you will cheer up in several rooms, and if you think carefully in your heart, you will hide and tuck it for me, forget about the external troubles, internal strife or something, I will find out and punish you severely!" ”

"The mother is relieved, and the son knows what to do."

People in several rooms have expressed their positions.

Old Madam Qiao glanced at Qiao Yixi faintly, "Qiaoqiao, there is such a big thing at home, shouldn't your father and mother come back?" ”

Knowing that Old Madam Qiao was going to give out a moth, Qiao Lixi had been waiting there for a long time, and as soon as the old lady's voice fell, she said: "Grandmother, my father has already brought the letter, and at this time, they should be on the boat on the way back." ”

"By boat? Also, it's convenient to take the waterway," Old Madam Qiao nodded with satisfaction, "You told your father about your aunt?" ”

"Back to my grandmother, I have already told my father, but my father has not replied, I think I am busy rushing back."

The reply was by land, and the speed was not as fast as the waterway, maybe Qiao Xingbang came back, and the reply had not yet arrived.

It was rare that Mrs. Qiao understood very well and did not make things difficult, "It's good to be back, your father is a family member, and he has to deal with some things." ”

After a pause, thinking that she suddenly remembered something, Old Madam Qiao abruptly changed the topic, "Speaking of which, you don't even have a son in your long house until now, the previous Aunt Bai was sold, how can you do without a newcomer by your father's side?" Your mother's health is better, but your father has no children under his knees. The long house is in charge of the Qiao family's business, that is, the family will be separated in the future, and the Qiao family's business is also the long house, although your father gave you the sub-chapter, but you are a girl after all, and you can't support the long house. This time your father comes back, and your grandmother will arrange someone for your father's side. ”

So, this is unhappy, and the person who took the long house is angry?

Seeing that Qiao Yixi didn't answer, Old Madam Qiao was very dissatisfied, "Grandmother knows that you defend your mother, which is good, but you have to think about your father and the long house." You don't want your parents to be a hundred years from now, right? Grandmother is not cursing your parents, let's talk about things, you are a filial child, you should think more for your parents. Of course, if you really don't want to, we will think of other ways, whether it is from a few houses, or from the clan to inherit a son, your mother will take you with you to raise you, and you will rely on it in the future. You are the concubine of the Qiao family, and no one can threaten your status. ”

After saying so much bitterly, Old Madam Qiao was very heartfelt to Changfang, and even she herself was very moved.

Qiao Yixi finally nodded and said seriously: "What grandmother said, granddaughter understands, but there is no shortage of people around my father for the time being, as for the succession, my granddaughter thinks, whether it is her father or mother, she is unwilling." ”

"What are these words?" Old Mrs. Qiao was already holding her breath because of Qiao Linzi's matter, and she talked about the long room, just to vent. And Qiao Lixi actually dared to disobey her, which was undoubtedly her own collision with the muzzle.

"What does grandmother think?" But Qiao Lixi was not afraid of death and asked rhetorically.

"Qiaoqiao, no matter how much your parents love you, you are a girl after all, and you have to get married, even if the sub-chapter of the Qiao family is in your hands, only when the head of the family is alive, you can help the head of the family manage the Qiao family's property, and in the end, the Qiao family's property will not fall on your head, grandmother hopes that you will know this, if the long house has no queen, then in the future, the Qiao family's property will be inherited by the fourth room, Qiaoqiao, think about it."

Old Madam Qiao said this, naturally not for Qiao Yixi, let alone for the long house.

There is no queen for the long house, and all of them are four-room, and she wishes for this.

But what will people on the outside think?

Or, what about Qiao Xingbang and Gu Jingshu coming back from outside with a child by themselves?

She is forcing Qiao Yixi to make a decision, either to give someone to Qiao Xingbang, or to give her stepson to Changfang.

According to Qiao Xingbang and Gu Jingshu's affection for Qiao Lixi, as long as Qiao Lixi speaks, this matter will be secure.

However, she is inclined to Cypriots.

If you pass the line, not only are the other rooms eligible, but so many children and grandchildren in the clan are eligible, and there are more choices for the long house, what if you choose one with great ambitions?

She didn't allow the Qiao family's things to fall into the hands of others, everything the Qiao family owned should have belonged to her son!

So, the Cypriots are the best way to do it.

It not only shows her maintenance of the long house, but also ensures that the fourth room is the final winner.

"Grandmother, granddaughter understands your kindness, but the long house is really not suitable for adding people now, and it is not suitable for adopting."

"Jojo!"

"Don't be angry, Grandmother." Qiao Jinwen comforted Mrs. Qiao and said to Qiao Yixi disapprovingly, "Qiao Qiao, even if you are willful on weekdays, grandmother does this for your good, how can you not know what to do?" ”

Qiao Yixi smiled slightly, "The third sister is right, my grandmother is indeed dedicated to the Qiao family, but my mother is now pregnant, and my grandmother is an addition and an adoptive, I am worried that my mother will be stimulated." ”

"What did you say?" The crowd was amazed.

Qiao Lixi tilted her head and said: "My mother is pregnant now, and at this time, the long house is really not suitable for adding people and passing on to herds." The granddaughter knows that her grandmother maintains the long house and wants to add someone or pass it on, and the granddaughter also hopes to wait until her mother gives birth. ”

Old Madam Qiao's face was ugly, "Why are you only saying such an important thing now?" ”

Qiao Lixi is also very innocent, "Grandmother, it's not that the granddaughter deliberately concealed it, but the granddaughter only knew about it." You also know that your mother's health is not good, and her small life is not allowed, so her mother has not cared about it until this time when her father was about to return to Jincheng, afraid that her mother's body would not be able to bear it, so she asked a doctor to ask her mother for her pulse, and only then did she know that her mother was pregnant. Before the granddaughter could speak, the grandmother spoke of the heirs of the long house. ”

"It's me who has a lot of trouble, the boss has an idea, and his affairs are no longer my turn as a mother."

These words were serious, and Xue Tao hurriedly calmed down a few words.

Old Madam Qiao looked at Qiao Lixi gloomily, "Since there is a happy event in the long room, then we have to celebrate anyway." ”

Qiao Lixi nodded thoughtfully, "Father's meaning, just have a meal with his family." ”

"You ......"

In the face of Qiao Yixi's inch, Old Madam Qiao didn't even have an excuse to refute!

It's just a battle of words, Qiao Lixi didn't take it to heart, she still has more important things to do, she has to maintain the balance of the Qiao family before Qiao Xingbang and Gu Jingshu come back.

What balance?

Naturally, the balance of one is the loss of one.

Therefore, Qiao Lixi was not satisfied with Gu Jinzhen's invitation to her to travel!

Sitting in the teahouse in a huff, she drank a belly of water.

"It's already the second pot." Gu Jinzhen kindly reminded.

"I like it, I'm willing." As if to confirm her words, Qiao Lixi picked up the teacup again, but regretted it when she handed it to her mouth.

With a pot of tea and a few snacks, she really couldn't stuff anything more.

Gu Jinzhen looked at her with a smile and raised her eyebrows deliberately defiantly.

Whatever you lose, you can't lose momentum!

Qiao Yixi gritted her teeth and opened her mouth as if she were dead.

"Speaking of which, this tartary buckwheat tea needs to be brewed several times to make the taste mellow." Gu Jinzhen said as he took the teacup from Qiao Yixi's hand, handed it to his mouth, sniffed it with enjoyment, and then took a small sip.

"My saliva." Qiao Yixi said gently.

"The tea with ingredients is more flavorful."

This is...... Teasing her?

Right?

Right.

Qiao Lixi didn't feel embarrassed, and she wasn't as shy as other girls, she looked at Gu Jinzhen for a long time, and the corners of her mouth were teasing.

Gu Jinzhen coughed lightly uncomfortably, her ears were slightly red, but she tried to maintain a serious appearance, "Qiaoqiao, do you want to taste it?" ”

Qiao Yixi shook her head, "I didn't expect you to have such a hobby." ”

The fingers in the sleeves twisted unnaturally, and Gu Jinzhen said cheekily: "Some habits can be cultivated. ”

Qiao Lixi rolled her eyes, didn't bother to talk to Gu Jinzhen, and said directly: "Say, call me out for something." ”

"Ask me about your plans for the rest and see if I can help."

Qiao Yixi looked at Gu Jinzhen with a strange expression.

Qiao Linzi's matter, she knew that Gu Jinzhen had contributed in the middle, and every step was just right, although the turn was too abrupt, which made the onlookers inexplicable, and the case ended inexplicably, but the result was what she wanted.

Before, Gu Jinzhen herself said that she was his benefactor, and he came to repay the favor.

That was the cause and effect of the "Qiao Lixi" deity and him, and it was time to end it now.

"Why are you so interested in the Qiao family's affairs?"

"What does the Qiao family's affairs have to do with me, I'm worried about you." If it's too straightforward, I don't know, I think the two of them have something.
