Gu Jinzhen was stunned, obviously she didn't expect to encounter this situation.

Qiao Yixi pointed her finger, "Well, that's the north." ”

"Why are you in the East Courtyard?" Gu Jinzhen asked unwillingly.

As far as he knows, the East Courtyard and the East Small Courtyard are the best places in Qiao's Mansion, and they are also the most exquisite places, not to say how big the East Courtyard is, the courtyards of Qiao's several rooms are the same size, boxy, and very accurate. Of course, these are just superficial phenomena, at least in the eyes of outsiders, the Qiao family is the same, as for the inside, it depends on the strength of each room, if you have money, you can inlay gold on the rockery, and if you don't have money, then there is only hehehe.

However, isn't the East Courtyard supposed to be a four-bedroom house?

By the way, Qiao Jinwen once told her that the East Courtyard was a four-room house, but Qiao Lixi relied on the fact that she was the daughter of the long house, so she had to live in the East Courtyard, so she looked for Qiao Jinwen several times, and finally lived in it. Qiao Lixi is a person from the long house, and the concubine of the long house lives in the fourth room, or the kind that lives permanently, Qiao Jinwen was worried that it would be bad for Qiao Lixi's reputation if it was spread out, so she took the initiative to persuade Xue Tao that the family moved into the remote north courtyard.

In fact, the environment of the North Courtyard is also very good, but in winter, because of the sunshine, it is not only cold, but also very humid, especially in the North Courtyard, so Qiao Jinwen fell ill with her daughter, afraid of cold and cold.

There was a hint of gloom in his eyes.

Qiao Lixi took a step back alertly.

At the same time, Gu Jinzhen was also reminiscing, in her previous life, Qiao Jinwen said when Qiao Yixi occupied the East Courtyard?

The timing doesn't seem to be right.

But so what?

Qiao Lixi's appearance here shows that it is a fact that she occupies the East Courtyard!

Qiao Jinwen is right, this poisonous woman bullied her at a very young age.

Angry, Gu Jinzhen made a move!

Really!

Qiao Lixi, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately fought back.

She can only rely on memory and instinct to take the move, the body that has not been exercised, not to mention the slow reaction, the movement is a little bigger, she is out of breath, she bit her lip, and said viciously: "What about the oath you sweared!" ”

Gu Jinzhen suddenly stopped.

Be all abroad.

Qiao Lixi crossed her hands on her hips and gasped.

Gu Jinzhen stopped not because he was afraid of breaking his oath, but because he thought of the purpose of coming today.

He came to appease Qiao Jinwen, not to settle accounts with this poisonous woman.

"Walk slowly, don't send." Qiao Lixi turned around and forced herself to walk calmly, her little feet turned over so fast that she walked away without looking back!

She was actually scared.

Who knows if this madman will come from behind, but she understands that instead of a stalemate here, it is better to retreat early and slip away while this guy's personality has not changed.

Gu Jinzhen subconsciously turned his wrist, and the cold long sword drove a wisp of night wind.

Qiao Lixi's back was right in front of him, and he only needed to raise his hand to kill her.

It's what he wants to do as soon as he comes back.

is more obsessed than seeing Qiao Jinwen.

But, why, can't you wave your arms?

In the twilight, Gu Jinzhen's eyes were not pitch black, but extremely bright, just like what he saw in the sun during the day, the petite figure was shrouded in a golden halo, bright and dazzling.

Turning around, looking at the north, the foot he had just raised was put down suddenly, and his body disappeared into the darkness again, and the wind that drove it was out of Qiao's mansion.

Since Qiao Lixi has damaged Qiao Jinwen's reputation, she should taste the same experience.

Old Madam Qiao is sick.

I had been sick before the Double Ninth Festival, and after returning from Danding Mountain, the typhoid fever seemed to be more serious, so I avoided everyone's morning and dusk and stayed at home in the middle courtyard.

Qiao Linzi got the news and took the child back to her parents' house to visit.

Qiao Linzi is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Qiao and the younger sister of Qiao Xingye.

Qiao's only daughter, so she is very favored, and Old Man Qiao set her a family affair early. The two families said that they were world friends, but in fact, they were a family that Mr. Qiao knew before he was developed, specializing in the medicinal herb business.

If you really want to talk about it, the Li family's background is farther than Qiao's family, when the old man Qiao was still doing business around, the Li family was the largest medicinal herb merchant in Jincheng, although the two families had no business contact, but the two old men liked to drink two sips, and they made an appointment to go out to drink some in their spare time, and talked about the interesting things they encountered when they went south and north, and the two families gradually became friends. Later, the Qiao family gradually developed, and Mr. Li had a discerning eye and proposed the matter of the two families getting married, but Mr. Qiao couldn't ask for it, so he naturally responded.

Mrs. Qiao took a fancy to the Li family's family background - the Li family has a simple population, and Li Rui has the shrewdness of a businessman, but he is a duty in life. There is no precedent for the Li family to take a concubine, unless Li Ruicheng is forty years old and has no son-in-law, he can take a concubine.

And Qiao Linzi is indeed a prosperous husband, married into the Li family, not to mention the two of them for three years, the Li family has also become the largest medicinal herb merchant in southern Sichuan, so Qiao Linzi's position in the Li family is very stable.

Old Mrs. Qiao saw that her most beloved daughter was so respected in her husband's family, and she also raised her eyebrows.

In her eyes, if it weren't for the fact that the Qiao family made a fortune a little later, with Qiao Linzi's appearance and ability, it would be okay to marry an official family.

Qiao Linzi took her two sons to the middle courtyard, and Mrs. Qiao was in the east room, taking the bird's nest handed by her grandmother, and drank two sips in disgust.

"Mother."

"Grandmother."

Before the voice fell, Old Madam Qiao was full of smiles, "Brother Jue'er and Brother Rui'er are here, hurry, come to grandmother!" ”

He waved at his two grandsons.

The two little ones immediately blushed.

"Brother Rui is out this year?"

Although the Li family is a businessman, they are very concerned about the studies of their two children, not to mention that they want to get someone to come out, it is always good to read more books, besides, what if?

What if the Li family arrives in this generation?

Li Rui blushed and said, "Back to my grandmother, my grandson is out this year." ”

"When will the results be available?" Old Madam Qiao said this to Qiao Linzi.

"Mother, Brother Rui'er is the first time to get in, how can it be so easy to get in."

"Sir said, I can be admitted to Tongsheng." In the end, it was a child, knowing that his mother was just modestly speaking, but he still felt that he was underestimated.

"That's a good thing!" Old Madam Qiao's eyes lit up, "Brother Rui can read, let him read well, what is missing, let people know." ”

"Mother, look at what you said, is it possible, will I still deduct the money from Brother Rui'er's study? No matter how poor the Li family is, this bit of silver is still there. Qiao Linzi said deliberately with disgust.

Old Madam Qiao didn't care, "I gave it to my grandson, why are you doing it crookedly?" ”

"Mother...... Qiao Linzi couldn't cry or laugh, so she had to say to her two sons, "I'll talk to your grandmother, and you go to the North Courtyard to find Cousin Yi." ”

Because Qiao Linzi and Qiao Xingye are dragon and phoenix fetuses, they are closer than ordinary brothers and sisters when they are young, and the relationship between the two children and the North Courtyard is better. In addition, Li Rui and Qiao Yi are from a school, and the two are closer than ordinary cousins.

Out of the middle courtyard, the two brothers walked towards the north courtyard familiarly.

"Mother, what's the matter?" Qiao Linzi's face changed, and her mean appearance was like a mold carved from Old Madam Qiao.

Old Madam Qiao's face darkened suddenly, "What else can it be?" Except for the East Courtyard, who will make me unhappy. ”

"What are the moths coming out of the East Courtyard again?" Qiao Linzi knew that Mrs. Qiao didn't want to see her eldest brother, and she also didn't have a good impression of her eldest brother, who was almost ten years older than herself, she was not intimate since she was a child, and she had no topic when she grew up, compared to the fourth brother, the eldest brother was a stranger.

"The previous child went to Danding Mountain to climb the heights, and the third child fell into the water."

"Something to do with the dead girl?" As Qiao Linzi, who has the heart of Old Madam Qiao the most, how could she not know her thoughts.

Mrs. Qiao didn't hide it, "She was hit by a tourist and fell into the water, but the dead girl was by her side at that time." ”

So, even if it doesn't matter, it's related.

"The three ......"

Qiao Linzi doesn't say that she knows Qiao Jinwen best, but she also knows her methods, that girl is the most superficial, Qiao Lixi is played to death by her, and she treats her as her only sister. The matter of Danding Mountain, it is estimated that Qiao Jinwen failed to make a black hand to Qiao Lixi, and she was implicated.

This seems to be Qiao Jinwen's first miss.

Qiao Linzi hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled, "Mother, you are angry because of this matter, San'er's methods, you haven't seen it, she grew up with the fourth sister-in-law, and you often teach her, over the years, when have their mother and daughter ever failed to deal with the East Courtyard?" I think it's a good thing that she's suffered this time. ”

Old Madam Qiao glared angrily.

Qiao Linzi smiled coquettishly, knowing that Old Madam Qiao was not really angry with her, "After a long time, San'er's temperament will be arrogant, and she will suffer a little loss, so that she can know that there are people outside the people, there are mountains outside the mountains, and many things that think they are safe will have accidents due to various factors." Suffering under the noses of you and your fourth sister-in-law, with you watching, what can happen to her? It's easier to end than to develop a character that has no one in your eyes and is calculated by outsiders. ”

"What you said, my mother knows it, but when I think of San'er being embarrassed because of that dead girl, I feel uncomfortable!" Old Madam Qiao stroked her chest, angry and angry.

Qiao Linzi helped her to calm down.

After a few deep breaths, Old Lady Qiao said slowly: "San'er fell into the water in front of everyone, and came back so embarrassed, this lady has a ...... reputation."

Qiao Linzi frowned.

She knew the plans of Old Madam Qiao and Xue Tao.

The Qiao family is also a famous family in Shuzhou, although the background is not as good as the century-old family, but the Qiao family is rich, and any problem that can be solved with money and power is not a problem.

Now, the biggest hope of the Qiao family is to be able to raise people, outsiders may think that the Qiao family has too much appetite, but the affairs of officialdom, as long as they do not involve the government and the princes and nobles, there is no money that cannot be bought, and if you can't afford it, let alone show your talents, you can buy one back.

Therefore, it is really not difficult for the Qiao family to enter the office.

Once the Qiao family has power, the family affairs of the Qiao family's daughter will be another matter.
