Chapter 435: Sister and Sister
Jin Baijin said like a river, dancing with his hands, "The matter is big, and when it goes to court, Teng Jingyue's face is gone." The woman is also a powerful person, she didn't say anything about separation or anything else, she just died in the Ma family, and she tossed the people of the Ma family enough. Think about it, that woman finally got married, how could she easily get married? It's okay not to offend her, but if she is offended, she tosses it, it's a matter of minutes. ”
"And then?" Seeing that Jin Baijin said so much, Qiao Lixi guessed that there must be something more exciting.
Sure enough, Jin Baijin's eyebrows fluttered and said: "That woman, when she was in her mother's house, she was arrogant and domineering, marrying into the Ma family, she originally wanted to restrain for a few days, but Teng Jingyue couldn't wait to beat her dowry idea, she can bear it!" Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law battle or something, it's not too exciting. Teng Jingyue got sick every now and then, and asked her daughter-in-law to serve the sick, and the woman was not a vegetarian, saying that Teng Jingyue was sick and wanted to eat light, and all three meals a day were clear porridge, and that the porridge was good, it was rice soup at all, the kind that couldn't see a grain of rice. In short, the fighting between Teng Jingyue and her daughter-in-law is staged every day, and the Ma family is not at peace. Moreover, it was rumored out of nowhere that Ma Dongyi was a broken sleeve, and he was caught and raped in bed, in short, the Ma family is now completely famous. ”
So exciting?
Qiao Yixi didn't expect things to develop like this.
The gossip on Jin Baijin's face was still there, and he said to Qiao Yixi: "Anyway, the Ma family is finished now." When we left Jincheng, the Ma family was breaking up, and it was Ma Dongshu who took the initiative to propose it. ”
"Is he going to live a good life with his daughter-in-law?" Qiao Lixi asked teasingly.
"But no," Jin Birkin looked disdainful, "The Ma family is like this now, everything is because of Ma Dongyi, Ma Dongshu is no wonder, no matter what, his daughter-in-law has a few small money in her hand, if the two of them live a good life, it will not be too bad, the Ma family's business, seventy percent of it is in his hands, he runs it well, plus his daughter-in-law's dowry shop and dowry, there is absolutely no problem with food and clothing." Therefore, the two old ones and Ma Dongyi are a burden. Ma Dongshu is the eldest son and has the responsibility of supporting his parents, so he has no choice, but for his younger brother, he has more choices. The biggest reason why the Ma family is like this now is Ma Dongyi, it is very easy to persuade the two elders to split up. It's just that even if Ma Dongshu holds more than seventy percent of the Ma family's business, with the current situation of the Ma family, the so-called seventy percent is not worth the general business of ordinary merchants. ”
"Are you going to do something to the Ma family?"
"There is no difference between the business field and the battlefield, the only difference is that on the battlefield, everyone is really fighting with a sword, and life and death depend on their ability. In the business field, everyone is intrigued, and success or failure depends on strength. It's not just the battlefield that kills, it's also the business. Even if I don't do it, others will do it, the reality is so cruel. The Ma family is like this, a discerning person can know at a glance that someone is targeting, and if he doesn't fall into the well to seek benefits, do he still make wedding dresses for others? As for whether the people of the Ma family can survive, it depends on their own ability. ”
Suddenly a little sad.
But Qiao Lixi knew that what Kim Baikin said was the truth.
However, she knows better that Gu Jinzhen will not kill the Ma family, it will only make them very sad, whether they can survive smoothly depends on their own ability, of course, even if they have passed, life is also very difficult.
After sending off Jin Baijin and Yu Rou, the porter said that the county lord of Nishang invited Qiao Yixi to come over for tea.
Qiao Lixi rubbed her jaw.
It is estimated that the "Ni Shang Yuan" knew about her menstrual affairs and couldn't sit still.
As soon as she thought of this, Qiao Lixi was depressed.
How big it is, it is still known to everyone.
Qiao Lixi, who didn't want to go to the appointment, finally arrived at the "Nishang Courtyard" under the nagging of the two maids.
The meaning of astragalus and wolfberry is very simple and rude, that is, to go to the meeting with the lord of Nishang and tell her who is the rightful one.
For this kind of childish behavior, Qiao Yixi is dismissive.
But after thinking about it, if you don't go to the appointment this time, Nishang will find another opportunity, the two always have to fight, since this is the case, let's go around first.
The "Nishang-in" is more than twice as large as the "Wutong Pavilion", but it is not empty at all.
Feng filled all the blank spaces with flowers, plants and rocks, and Qiao Yixi even felt that walking on the gravel road of the "Nishang Courtyard" gave people a crowded feeling.
"Miss, the flowers and plants here are not as expensive as the gold of the 'Wutong Pavilion'." Astragalus said secretly.
The corners of Qiao Lixi's forehead twitched, and she obviously felt that the little girl who was leading the way paused.
"It's not as delicate as 'Wutong Pavilion'." The wolfberry's divine mending knife successfully made the maid who led the way out of rhythm.
"Miss, the slave maid thinks that according to the identity and taste of the lord of Ni Xiang, this yard should not be like this, it is simply the taste of a nouveau riche, too ...... It's a disappointment. ”
"This courtyard is arranged by Madame, and it has nothing to do with the county lord of my family." The little maid who led the way couldn't listen anymore, and turned around to argue.
"Mmmm," Huang Qi nodded seriously, but said to himself, "Madame is also arranged according to the requirements of the county lord, after all, the county lord is noble, and Madame can't take ideas casually." I just don't know if the lady misunderstood what the county lord meant, or if the county lord ......"
"Naturally, Madame misunderstood." The little maid was eager to defend the county lord of Nishang, how could she care about the misdirection in Astragalus's words.
"I see, I'm sorry, we misunderstood the county lord."
"Humph!" The little maid snorted arrogantly and led the person into the flower hall.
"Nishang Courtyard" is also a two-way courtyard, but it is different from "Wutong Pavilion".
This "Erjin" is real, unlike "Wutong Pavilion", which is a fake Erjin.
The location of the flower hall is exactly the location of the former East Courtyard.
Because he was afraid that the county lord would be in his heart, in addition to the bedroom, etc., the places that the county lord often used were located in the former partial courtyard, and other functional places were set up in the west courtyard.
The east courtyard is relatively spacious and easy to plan.
As soon as she entered the room, Qiao Yixi felt a burst of refreshment.
I swept the corner of my eye and saw the ice basin on the ground, and my heart was clear.
This is the dismount that the lord of Nishang gave her!
The only people who can use ice cubes at this time are the most honorable people.
After all, the ice at this time is used in the most primitive way, in the winter, digging the river to take the ice, put it in the ice cellar, and keep it for the summer.
It's an extremely luxurious treat.
Even the nobles in the palace have a limited share, otherwise, there would be no summer with the emperor to Chengde for summer vacation.
The lord of Nishang County used ice cubes early to relieve the heat, firstly, as a symbol of her identity, and secondly, it was to show off and stand up in front of her.
"Jojo is here?" The lord of Nishang put down the teacup in his hand, but he had no intention of standing up.
Qiao Lixi didn't feel embarrassed, walked straight over, and chose a place to sit down.
The county lord's face changed slightly, but he endured it and did not have a seizure.
"Qiaoqiao, I have always regarded you as a friend, and now, we are sisters, but we move around less, it is not that I have asked people to invite you again and again, you don't want to come to me to sit." The familiar tone seemed to be how good her relationship with Qiao Lixi was.
It's really that good, why not sisters?
Because of "sisters and sisters", one is bound to be a sister and the other is a sister.
Although Qiao Lixi is young, she entered the door earlier than Ni Shang, and she is still the person on the tip of Gu Jinzhen's heart, and the county lord of Ni Shang is shrewd and will not suffer in this.
simply called Qiao Lixi's nickname directly, which made it more intimate.
"The county lord said and laughed, it's not that Qiao Qiao doesn't know how to lift, it's really that the lord keeps an eye on me, and he doesn't worry about me going out, plus there are few people in the 'Wutong Pavilion' and there are many trivial matters, so I haven't responded to the county lord, I hope the county lord has a lot, don't worry about Qiao Qiao."
"Am I such a stingy person in your heart?" Speaking generous words in the mouth, but the sound of gnashing teeth, how to listen, how unhappy!
Has Gu Jinzhen's caution towards Qiao Lixi reached this point?
I'm nervous to even get out of the courtyard, as for it?
Although he knew that Qiao Lixi had a sense of showmanship, the county lord of Nishang still couldn't help but eat it.
"It's good that the county lord doesn't blame Qiaoqiao. Speaking of which, this 'Neon Fashion Courtyard' is much more luxurious than I imagined. ”
"It's just ordinary, because of the time storage, a lot of it is too late to take care of it, even the flowers and plants outside are also very ordinary, I plan to find a time, let the gardeners in the palace remove those flowers and plants, and make some delicate. Speaking of which, I heard that the flowers and plants in the 'Wutong Pavilion' are all treasures, and they were personally found by Master Qiao for Qiao Qiao. ”
Qiao Lixi said embarrassedly: "It's just that my father dotes on me, how can my little treasure be compared to the county lord." ”
The two blew each other in business, and Qiao Yixi picked up the teacup in front of her and rinsed her mouth.
"It's summer in a blink of an eye, I'm the most afraid of the heat, and at this time of year, the emperor's uncle will send ice cubes to the eldest princess's mansion in advance."
"The emperor's favor for the county lord is known to everyone." Qiao Yixi slapped a fart appropriately.
The county lord of Nishang felt relieved, "Yes, although this is the favor of the elders for the juniors, but every time I talk about it, I am embarrassed." Qiaoqiao, I don't know if you're afraid of the heat, if you need ice cubes, you can find me, I can't help anything else, but there are still plenty of ice cubes. ”
Local tyrants!
Qiao Yixi muttered in her heart.
She doesn't read much, but she still knows how to make ice, no matter how bad it is, she has seen a lot of it, and she also knows that ice-making is a way to make a fortune.
Ice cubes, which were extravagant to the extreme, in the eyes of the ancients, are really cheap.
Rubbing her jaw, Qiao Lixi pondered, should I open another ice shop?
If she remembers correctly, the biggest ice shop in the dynasty now seems to be the Tao family and the Chang family.
This is also the reason why Tao Mingxing has no fear.
Even if other industries failed, he still had an ice shop, which not only provided ice cubes for the palace to relieve the heat, but also sold them to princes, nobles and ordinary people.
