Thinking of the goods that the two groups of people took away before leaving, Qiao Yixi rubbed her nose and asked, "You say, can the things we sent over be sold well?" ”

Gu Jinzhen said amusedly: "You are so unconfident? ”

"Am I not planning for a rainy day?" Qiao Yixi said stiffly.

"Qiaoqiao, you must know that the imperial dynasty is not only strong in the surrounding countries, but also in the economy. These things of the imperial dynasty, I don't know how sought after in several other countries, were the first to be grabbed by the princes and nobles. Before, it was not without such trade. But the border is turbulent, the situation is unstable, no one dares to do business with great fanfare, making money is a small matter, life is a big thing. ”

Qiao Lixi nodded in agreement.

Gu Jinzhen said again: "In the past, the merchants were all petty fights, firstly, I don't know how the things over there are sold in the imperial dynasty, and secondly, for various reasons, the funds brought are limited. ”

The Imperial Dynasty had a nationwide exchange of silver bills, but the Imperial Dynasty's silver bills were not in circulation in other countries, so they could only do business with cash. The silver taels brought on the body are limited, and the thieves are worried about it if they bring too much, and the business is not enough if they bring it less, which is why although the imperial dynasty has trade contacts with surrounding countries, in addition to large caravans, there are only a few merchants.

Although large caravans are guaranteed in some places, new problems have arisen.

When there are many people, unity is strength, but in the same way, if the goal is too big, it is easier to cause trouble.

This Zhuangzi is not big, much smaller than Gu Jingshu's several wedding Zhuangzi.

Qiao Yixi jumped out of the carriage, and the steward of Zhuangzi came.

It was Gu Jingshu's companion room, who was on the Zhuangzi in Jincheng before, and this time Qiao Lixi entered Beijing, and Gu Jingshu specially asked him to bring it over.

After settling down, the Guan of Zhuangzi came in in advance to report the situation on Zhuangzi, and because he had been doing this, the people on Zhuangzi quickly got started.

Qiao Lixi ate lunch in her room, and Meimei took a nap before getting up.

"Jojo, go, I'll take you on horseback." Gu Jinzhen was very interested, and led a batch of jujube red horses as he spoke.

This is the horse that was originally fed to Zhuangzi, with a gentle temperament, which is very suitable for Qiao Yixi.

It's a pity that Qiao Yixi is lacking in autumn and has no interest.

How could Gu Jinzhen give up such a good opportunity to be intimate with Qiao Lixi, no matter whether Qiao Yixi agreed or not, she dragged her onto the horse.

Qiao Lixi was groggy and was taken out of Zhuangzi by Gu Jinzhen.

Gu Jinzhen held her breath excitedly, for fear that her anger would be louder and affect Qiao Qiao.

His hands passed through Qiao Lixi's waist and grabbed the reins forward, not so much that he was guiding the horse in the direction it was going, but that the horse was letting go of itself on Zhuangzi.

The two of them rode aimlessly around Zhuangzi.

Qiao Lixi was lazy, and subconsciously wanted to find a backrest.

And she did.

The whole person shrank back slightly, shrinking into Gu Jinzhen's arms.

Gu Jinzhen didn't dare to move.

"You've been back in Beijing for so long, what are your plans?" Qiao Lixi asked without words.

"Naturally, it's time to do something, be a man, and be courteous." Gu Jinzhen said lightly.

Qiao Yixi blinked, "Play house fight or palace fight?" ”

"What house fight, palace fight?" Gu Jinzhen didn't know why, "Gu Jin Xuan injured his body, and the Marquis of Dingguo will definitely ask for him to be crowned." ”

"He's like that, can he still be the son of the world?"

"Isn't there another Qiao Jinwen?" Gu Jinzhen sneered.

"That's right," Qiao Lixi nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "But what if Qiao Jinwen gave birth to a daughter?" ”

"A daughter will become a son." Gu Jinzhen said firmly.

Qiao Lixi's face changed.

According to Qiao Jinwen's temperament of not being afraid of the sky and the earth, and working hard to die, she can do such a thing, after all, glory and wealth are only one step away, how can she give up?

"The Dingguo Marquis Mansion is really chaotic, and it is on par with the Qiao family." Qiao Lixi was moved.

Gu Jinzhen chuckled, "Otherwise, how could it be the right one." ”

"By the way, I heard that the Feng family is in Zhang Luo's family affairs?"

Qiao Yixi asked casually, but Gu Jinzhen's face suddenly darkened.

"It's not her turn to interfere in my family affairs!"

"You can't say that, she is also your stepmother, and she is the head of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, and it is only natural that she wants to take care of your family affairs."

Gu Jinzhen's face darkened.

Didn't he fend for himself in his previous life, the Feng family wished that he was alone and widowed, and it was better to die in southern Xinjiang, how could he find a daughter-in-law for him.

His eyes sank.

Perhaps, it's time to go back and see what kind of medicine is sold in Feng's gourd.

On the way back to Zhuangzi, Gu Jinzhen took two hares and pheasants by the way, and dinner became a collective barbecue at Qiao Yixi's strong request.

Qiao Yixi knew that Gu Jinzhen had a hand in the barbecue, and sat beside him doggedly, watching him brush honey on the chicken wing mountain with burning eyes.

It wasn't until Qiao Yixi was full of seven or eight points that Gu Jinzhen slowed down the movements in his hands.

The two only stayed in Zhuangzi for one night, and returned to the capital in a low-key manner the next day.

Although Gu Jinzhen was temporarily suspended, many official documents still had to be dealt with, and after sending Qiao Lixi back, he returned to his own courtyard.

"Master." Tang Yuan was assigned other tasks by Gu Jinzhen before, and this time he did not follow to Zhuangzi.

"This is sent by the eldest prince."

Gu Jinzhen's eyes flashed.

After he and Duanmujing reached an intention to cooperate, the two would exchange information with reservations.

Just like the matter of the Chaotianmen Gu family, without Duanmujing's cooperation in the dark, he would not have stolen the beams and changed the pillars so smoothly.

As the person who knows Duanmu Qing best, Duanmu Jing can imitate his handwriting so vividly that even Duanmu Qing himself can't distinguish it.

However, his cooperation with Duanmujing is not indestructible.

In the face of the larger interests, the two are allies of the united front, so the information shared is also limited.

Taking the secret letter in Tang Yuan's hand, Gu Jinzhen paused as he raised his feet, "What's going on over there in the Dingguo Marquis Mansion?" ”

"Back to the Lord, the Hou Mansion is the same as usual, except for ......" Glancing at Gu Jinzhen cautiously, Tang Yuan said stiffly, "Except that because the Feng family wants to show the father's daughter-in-law, they often invite the ladies and ladies in the circle to come over for a small gathering, there is no abnormality." ”

"No anomalies?"

Gu Jinzhen couldn't hear the emotion, but the words were full of emotion, which made the corners of Tangyuan's forehead suddenly break out in a cold sweat.

"Master, you must know that you have only been in the capital for a handful of time, even if you come back, you are just reporting the military situation in the court, either living in another courtyard, or living in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, except for those old horsemen in the previous court, who in the circle has seen you? If you just walk around the most lively street in the capital, everyone will only think that you are the son of a family, and will not regard you as 'General Gu'. So the Feng family's side, master, you have nothing to worry about, everyone knows that you are in an awkward position in the Dingguo Hou Mansion, who will send your daughter to the Hou Mansion? “

Of course, there is also the kind of daughter who can be handled in order to tie up with the Feng family, but most of these daughters are concubines, and their identities are not worthy. Feng boasts that she is a good mother and stepmother who is dedicated to planning for her son, and will not give people the opportunity to make a fuss about this.

Of course, there are also those who stand on the side of the Marquis of Dingguo, who are willing to sacrifice a daughter to come in and cooperate with the Feng family, and do not stop by the side of the master, and actively strive to let Gu Jinxuan get the position of the prince.

Thinking of this, Tang Yuan boldly asked: "Master, you said, Gu Jinxuan is like that, and the Feng family still wants him to be the son of the world." If she only has this one son, it would be fine, she is so partial, is Gu Jintai balanced in her heart? ”

"If it's you, do you have a balance in your heart?" Gu Jinzhen asked rhetorically.

Tang Yuan shook his head, "It's definitely unbalanced, there was no way to fight before, but now Gu Jinxuan is like this, and let him be the son of the world, why?" A man who is inhumane and can't even give birth to a son......"

Tang Yuan raised his head suddenly, "Master, you mean ......"

Gu Jinzhen gave him a teachable look.

Gu Jintai looks harmless and admires Gu Jinxuan's brother very much, but in the face of absolute power, who can really be like water?

Before, the Feng family held Gu Jinxuan wholeheartedly, although Gu Jinxuan and Gu Jintai were twins, there was still a first-come, first-served order, even if it was only a moment late, Gu Jintai was only the second son of the Feng family, and the eldest son of the Feng family, no matter how unbalanced Gu Jintai's heart was, he could only endure it.

The Feng family wants Gu Jinxuan to be the son of the world, and Gu Jintai can only play a younger brother who admires his brother and treats his brother as an idol under the noses of the Feng family and Gu Jinxuan, hiding his edge and concentrating on being a gentleman's second ancestor.

Now, Gu Jinxuan has injured Sun Gen, and the Feng family is as partial to Gu Jinxuan as ever.

Gu Jintai has endured his heart for so long, how can he balance it?

How is it balanced?

The news from the dark guard, Gu Jintai is not so peaceful.

Dingguo Marquis's Mansion.

As soon as Xue Tao saw Qiao Jinwen, her eyes immediately turned red.

Qiao Jinwen also looked like Ai Ai, although the mother and daughter did not hug their heads and cry, but the low sobbing also made the atmosphere in the West Courtyard seem sluggish.

In the end, under the persuasion of Mama Xue, the mother and daughter calmed down a little and went back to the house together.

As soon as she entered the house, Xue Tao asked about Qiao Jinwen's recent situation.

Mama Xue replied respectfully, and said in detail, Xue Tao nodded slightly.

Xue Tao took Qiao Jinwen's hand and patted it lightly twice, "You have worked hard during this time." ”

Qiao Jinwen shook her head, "Mother, my daughter is not afraid of hard work, but she is worried about the ...... of the child."

As he spoke, he stroked his lower abdomen.

"Don't worry about the child."

"Mother...... Qiao Jinwen's eyes lit up and she looked at Xue Tao, but her afterglow swept towards the old woman beside Mama Jiang.

Sensing her daughter's eagerness, Xue Tao brought the topic to business, "This is the stable woman brought by my mother from Jincheng, and she is very experienced." ”

The words were very vague, Qiao Jinwen's eyes suddenly lit up, and she was even more eager to stand up.

Xue Tao pressed her arm hard, "Don't worry, my mother has something to say to you." ”
