Jin Baijin wanted to grab it, but Yu Rou only had a squint, and he stopped cooking.

Qiao Yixi raised her eyebrows meaningfully.

"On this, one is a shop operated in the dark by the second prince, and the other is a shop in the dark of Duanmu, what we have to do is to make a profit."

Jin Baijin's eyes lit up, licked his face and pulled a piece of paper from Yu Rou's hand, glanced at it rudely, and smacked his tongue: "I didn't expect the second prince to hide so deeply, these shops, it seems that the scale is not large, but it is still very profitable, the reason why they did not enter the Chamber of Commerce is just because their superficial background is not enough." However, now it seems that this was deliberate by the second prince. ”

Qiao Yixi nodded.

The second prince wants silver, but he doesn't want to expose his strength, so those shops will not enter the Chamber of Commerce.

"Exactly, one for each of us," Jin Baijin approached Yu Rou, compared the two pieces of paper, took out the list of shops in Duanmuqing's name from Yu Rou's hand, and stuffed the list of shops in his hand with the second prince to Yu Rou.

Qiao Lixi smiled slightly, and gave Yu Rou a meaningful look.

"What's going on over there with Wei Nanshui?" Yu Rou asked casually.

Qiao Yixi shook her head, "He only has correspondence with Jinzhen. ”

"General Gu is also here to protect you."

Qiao Yixi's eyes darkened.

She naturally understood what Gu Jinzhen meant, and even more understood Gu Jinzhen's hard work.

He didn't tell her because he didn't want her to worry.

Although she didn't know what Wei Nanshui was doing, she knew that it must be a very dangerous thing, so Gu Jinzhen didn't say a word.

"Qiao Qiao, we have different divisions of labor, just do what we are good at," Seeing Qiao Yixi's face was not good, Yu Rou comforted, "Wei Nanshui is not sure and will not take risks." Although I haven't met him in person, I've heard Birkin mention that if he can regain the position of the prince, Wei Nanshui must also be a thoughtful person. ”

Qiao Lixi nodded, "Don't worry, Sister Rou, I didn't think much about it, I understand what you said." What we need to do now is to seize the market in the capital. ”

Although she is not a merchant from a professional class, Qiao Yixi has been exposed to it, and she has followed Qiao Xingbang's hands, and she has also learned a lot of things in a cramming manner, and these valuable experiences, combined with actual combat, her achievements will not be bad.

Now, it is just the early stage of paving, everyone is relying on their ability to collect money, and the real struggle is still to come.

……

The Dingguo Marquis Mansion was unusually quiet.

Since that day, Qiao Lixi and Dingguo Hou and Feng Clan tore their faces, and the people on both sides seem to have reached some kind of checks and balances.

The reason why it is a check and balance is because the Feng family was not affected by the events of that day, and her vague sense of superiority was everywhere, even Qiao Lixi, who could not leave the "Wutong Pavilion", felt it.

The Feng family should go out to socialize these days, and take Chang Yulian to various occasions in the circle.

After experiencing the initial apprehension, Chang Yulian gradually let go.

Feng's actions are undoubtedly declaring war!

Astragalus secretly observed the Feng clan for a few days, and finally waited for the moment of decisive battle!

"Miss, there's no movement in the main courtyard." Astragalus went out early in the morning to walk around the Hou Mansion, it was almost noon, and there was no movement on Feng's side, and Astragalus returned to the "Wutong Pavilion" majestically.

As expected, Qiao Yixi only smiled, "The Feng family didn't go out early today, so it gave me face." ”

Astragalus pouted.

"Miss, someone from the Gu clan is here." The wolfberry, who went to the kitchen to get the food box, came back in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the door, he brought such shocking news.

Qiao Lixi rubbed her jaw and pretended to be old.

"The Gu clan? Miss, is the Feng clan trying to use the patriarch to suppress you? "Astragalus immediately thought of the point.

Qiao Lixi nodded, "I am the daughter-in-law of the Hou Mansion, and I am also the little daughter-in-law of the Gu family, and the elders who can control me are the first to bear the brunt of the Gu family. ”

The grandmother Qiao Yixi said refers to Mrs. Lu.

She is the daughter-in-law of the Hou Mansion, although Mrs. Lu is also an elder, but in terms of intimacy, she is only Mrs. Lu's granddaughter-in-law, and the word "outside" is bound.

"Miss!" Astragalus looked at Qiao Lixi with confidence, looking like he was at home.

Qiao Lixi said to the wolfberry: "You go to the kitchen first to get the food box back, and only when you are full will you have the strength to scare people." ”

I don't know if it was stimulated by Qiao Lixi's words, Astragalus ate three bowls of rice at this meal, and after Qiao Lixi took a nap, the Feng family finally asked Qiao Lixi to come over.

Astragalus, who had been circling in the courtyard, immediately followed Qiao Yixi and Angelica to the main courtyard.

The people in the clan were already waiting there, and as Qiao Yixi expected, they were all female dependents.

Speaking of which, the division of labor between men and women in ancient times was very clear, and the dowry was a woman's business, and men generally did not come forward.

"Jojo is here." Feng didn't even raise his eyelids, and looked intently at the teacup in his hand.

Qiao Yixi greeted everyone politely, glanced around, and smiled lightly at the corner of her mouth.

It's good, there's not even a vacant seat, this is going to be triaged by the three divisions?

Astragalus is not a vegetarian either, and seeing that there are no extra chairs in the house, he rubbed and ran out.

In the puzzled eyes of everyone, a chair was moved from nowhere.

"Grandma, I don't know if it's the maid's negligence, the slave saw that there was no place for you, so she took it upon herself to move a chair from the yard and wronged you." Huang Qi put the chair on the side, and turned to help Qiao Yixi.

Feng frowned, and the little maid on the side hurriedly knelt down, "Madame is angry, it is the slave and maid who are not doing well, and the slave and maid are at fault, please punish Madame!" ”

Feng naturally didn't speak, the maid knelt and turned around, facing in the direction of Qiao Yixi, kowtowing vigorously, "Grandma, it's the slave's fault, the slave and maid kept vigil last night, and this morning she was confused, and she lost everything, and when she counted the number of people, there was only one person in the minority, please punish the grandmother!" ”

Looking at the little girl's red and swollen forehead, Qiao Lixi didn't have any pity in her heart.

Feng wanted to use her to cut her, but he used a little maid to make a raft, such a method is not as good as the bloody plot in the TV series.

Qiao Yixi didn't speak, but looked at the Feng family, "You are the maid in Madame's yard, whether it is punishment or reward, it is up to Madame to decide." ”

Reward?

Why the reward?

Naturally, it was because she embarrassed her and made the Feng family have a long face.

"Jojo, what do you mean?" Qiao Lixi tore her face again, and it was so thorough, Feng naturally didn't pretend anymore, slowly put down the teacup in her hand, and asked sharply in her voice.

Qiao Yixi explained: "Literally, that is, this maid is from Madame's yard, and if something like this happens, it will naturally be decided by Madame, not me." Of course, the sincerity of the maid's admitting mistakes, I also received it, um, but I didn't express my attitude. ”

Whether you forgive or not, it doesn't matter much, and it doesn't matter.

"You stand down first." Feng said to the maid who was kneeling on the ground.

Qiao Lixi pursed her lips.

That's why she said it didn't matter much.

Looking at Feng's attitude, there is no intention to punish!

Perhaps the ridicule at the corner of her mouth was too harsh, and Feng's chest obviously rose and fell a few times, which was a forbearance that forcibly suppressed anger.

After easing his emotions, Feng Shi said: "I will deal with the next person, and I will tell you the result of the disposal when the time comes, now, let's get down to business first." ”

It's not a waste of time.

Qiao Lixi nodded in agreement, "Madam, please speak." ”

"Let's talk about your mother-in-law's dowry first," Feng took out the list that Qiao Lixi gave her from his sleeve pocket, "I've checked the warehouse, and the things on it are not in the warehouse." ”

"So?" Qiao Lixi's tone was not surprised at all.

Feng Shi looked at her deeply, "So Mrs. Ben can't help it." ”

Mrs. Ben?

Ha, this kind of lofty self-proclaimed is really ...... It's pleasing to the eye!

Because this means that there is no need to be coy in the next tearing and forcing war, everyone is waving their claws and teeth, and go straight to it.

"Really? I don't know if the lady can tell me where these things have gone, why they are not in the treasury, why no one has told the master? ”

Madame said with a look of embarrassment: "This is also what Mrs. Ben only learned when she checked the list, and some of your mother-in-law's things have been sold." ”

"The Hou Mansion has reached the point where it wants to sell my mother-in-law's dowry? Or is your dowry, ma'am, ruined? ”

"Presumptuous, what are you talking about?" Wang slapped the table and reprimanded the younger generation for being ignorant.

Angelica took the initiative to stand in front of Qiao Yixi, and the disdain in his eyes became more and more obvious.

What kind of third uncle is this, it's really ubiquitous and annoying.

"Human words," Qiao Lixi directly scolded back, and everyone in the house was stunned, "The expenses of the Hou Mansion over the years, except for the monthly salary of the Hou Mansion, is the income of the lady's dowry, and only after these two cannot support the expenses of the Hou Mansion, will my mother-in-law's dowry be used, am I wrong?" ”

The Feng family entered the door as a step-room and took care of the Hou Mansion, and the first thing was the salary of the Hou Ye, and then the income of the property under the name of the Hou Mansion. There are not many industries in the name of famous families, and those who are afraid of the superiors are afraid of it, and they all have private property. Putting these aside, even if the property in the name of the Hou Mansion is not enough to maintain the expenses of the Hou Mansion, as well as the dowry of the Feng family, the dowry of the Feng family, the Zhuangzi or something, it will not be the turn to use the dowry of the deceased wife.

Moreover, without informing Gu Jinzhen, even if Gu Jinzhen was young at that time, Shen Yuan's things were left to him in terms of rules, that is, if he wanted to move, he had to ask for Gu Jinzhen's consent first.

Therefore, the Feng clan lost from the moment he opened his mouth.

But Feng is not stupid, the reason why she opened her mouth like this must have her intentions.

Sure enough, Feng Shi said next: "The Hou Mansion has a few catties and taels, and Qiao Qiao also knows the roots, although the Hou Mansion has the word 'Hou', which barely stands in the Xungui circle, but it is not even as good as a rich businessman." For so many years, the Hou Mansion has been frugal and has to maintain the livelihood of the clan, if it were not supported by your mother-in-law's dowry, it would have collapsed long ago. It's a shame to say that although Mrs. Ben is married to the Hou Ye, her mother's family is just an official family that does not enter the stream, and the eldest brother of the mother's family has no ability, not such a shrewd mind, and no such sharp means, that is, the current official position, and it is also because Mrs. Ben entered the Hou Mansion that she followed the rising tide, not to mention what dowry can she bring in? ”
