Chapter 252 It's a pity
If the second elder had been subsidizing the long house like this, there would be no need to wait for Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu to make an ancient relationship, and within two months, the people of the Gu family would have infighting.
Thinking of this, Qiao Jinwen was in a good mood, and her gaze at Qiao Lixi softened a little.
"Qiaoqiao, come here, we two sisters haven't seen each other in a while."
Looking at the enthusiastic Qiao Jinwen, the corners of Qiao Yixi's mouth twitched.
Is this intermittent amnesia really good?
It's like this in a few rooms, and you can pretend that nothing happened, it's amazing!
Qiao Yixi sat in the courtyard without changing her face.
The weather is good today, Qiao Jinwen asked the maid to take out the tea set, put melons and fruits on the stone table under the maple tree in the yard, and prepared it carefully.
"When did Qiaoqiao enter Beijing? When I arrived in the capital, I didn't look for the third sister, are you still angry with the third sister? Qiao Jinwen looked like a sister, "You kid, you still have such a small temper." Qiaoqiao, you have to know that no matter what the Qiao family is, we are all sisters, maybe you will feel unfair, but, Qiaoqiao, if you think from the position of the third sister, you will think that the third sister is doing the right thing, and the third sister is just protecting her own interests. ”
That's right.
Qiao Lixi nodded in agreement.
But since you have made it clear and done everything, why do you want to play such a show?
Qiao Jinwen poured a cup of tea for Qiao Yixi with her own hands, exchanged a few words of greeting, and suddenly changed her words, "By the way, Qiao Qiao, the maid next to me went out to run errands a few days ago, and saw a new bone-setting pharmacy opened at the entrance of the vegetable market, did you and Young Master Jin open it in partnership?" ”
There is a reason for Qiao Jinwen to ask this.
Qiao Lixi and Jin Birkin have a good relationship, it can be said that they are childhood sweethearts, according to her guess, maybe Mrs. Jin originally had ideas about Qiao Lixi, but unfortunately, after the Qiao family was separated, the long house was cleaned, Qiao Lixi and Jin Baijin were not so compatible, and Mrs. Jin also stopped thinking.
Although the two children still have contacts, it is only because the Jin family is a businessman, and Qiao Xingbang's connections are still good, and it may be useful to keep them, but if they want to get married, it will be worse.
Facts have proved that the strategy of the Jin family is correct, no, Jin Baijin followed Qiao Lixi into Beijing, opened a pharmacy, and started a business with the Marquis of Zhenyuan, this royal business can be done big, the Shen family army has tens of thousands of people, and there are other armies in the DPRK and China, and they are a profitable deal.
Qiao Jinwen was red-eyed.
can think that she also ruined Qiao Lixi's good marriage, and I still feel a little proud in my heart.
"Miss Qiao San is still so observant, she even knows about my pharmacy." Qiao Lixi didn't hide it either, and replied briskly.
"The third sister knew that you had a good relationship with Young Master Jin, so she guessed casually, but I didn't expect to guess it." Qiao Jinwen said happily, "I always knew that the uncle was capable, and you followed the uncle, and the uncle taught it personally, and now seeing that you can have such a good development, the third sister is also happy for you." ”
Qiao Jinwen held Qiao Lixi's hand and said earnestly: "The Jin family is the richest man in the dynasty, and there is no industry involved in the Jin family that does not make money. ”
"What Miss Qiao San said is that multiple friends have multiple paths, especially when relatives are unreliable."
"Presumptuous! How can you talk to my young lady like that? ”
"Jasmine!"
After Jasmine's words fell, Qiao Jinwen pretended to reprimand.
The sudden change in atmosphere caught people off guard.
Qiao Yixi smiled slightly, looked at Jasmine's face distorted by anger, and said as if unintentionally: "Miss Qiao San, this is your dowry maid, right?" I heard that I learned the rules from the eldest grandmother next to Mrs. Dingguo's Mansion, tsk......"
Qiao Lixi shook her head, "Such a rule has been released, and I don't know what the eldest grandmother can't think of." Miss Qiao San, you know that I speak straight, what is offended, don't mind," Qiao Yixi pointed at Jasmine and said, "Such a maid is placed outside, offending people, outsiders will only look down on Miss Qiao San, Miss Qiao San is now a person from the Hou Mansion, it is nothing to lose face by herself, but if you lose the face of the Hou Mansion, the matter will be serious." ”
"Miss Joe......"
"Shut up!" Qiao Jinwen stopped Jasmine, and looked at Qiao Lixi's eyes with cruelty, "Qiao Qiao, how long has it been since you came to the capital, and you know the rules?" ”
"That is," Qiao Yixi said without fear of death, "Before I came, my mother said that the capital is not as good as Jincheng, the pronunciation of the two places is similar, but the capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, representing majesty and solemnity, you must be cautious, losing your face is a trivial matter, offending the nobles, and you will be beheaded." Of course, Miss Qiao San is from the Hou Mansion, and she still has this face, and she will cut off her head or something, but she will be laughed at as a mud leg from the countryside. ”
If you are holding a gun and a stick, it seems that you are helping Qiao Jinwen, but how to listen to it, how harsh!
Such an atmosphere is not suitable for chatting again.
Qiao Jinwen simply stopped talking and took the medicinal tea in front of her and drank it slowly.
This is the tea specially prepared by the imperial doctor for Qiao Jinwen, the medicine is mild, just reassuring and calming, and occasionally drinking a pair is good for the body.
"Aunt Wen, the maid next to Madame is here."
Qiao Jinwen's heart sank, and she hurriedly said, "Bring it in." ”
In a moment, a little maid came in with a tray.
walked up to Qiao Jinwen without squinting, "Aunt Wen, when Madam learned that Miss Qiao was here, she specially asked the slave maid to send a snack, which is the hibiscus cake that she just bought from Dim Sum Zhai." ”
"Thank you, ma'am." Qiao Jinwen said as she instructed Jasmine to take the tray,
Only then did the maid turn to Qiao Yixi, and said respectfully: "Miss Qiao, today is your first time in the Hou Mansion, and Madam said that if there is any inconsiderate hospitality, please bear with me." ”
"Thank you, ma'am." Qiao Lixi said from a good point of flow.
After the little maid left, Qiao Jinwen pinched a piece of snack and handed it to Qiao Yixi, "Since it is Madame's reward, Qiao Qiao, you have to taste a piece." ”
Qiao Lixi's eyes were vague.
Qiao Jinwen said funny: "Qiao Qiao, this is Madame's reward, what's the matter, are you afraid that the third sister will not succeed?" ”
"That's not it," Qiao Yixi said, "I even drank tea, what else is there to be afraid of?" ”
If you really have to worry about Qiao Jinwen's tricks, she won't eat the things in the West Courtyard.
Qiao Jinwen didn't dare.
Her current dependence is the child in her belly, and her future dependence is also this child, it can be said that not only her glory and wealth, but also her net worth and life are on this child, how dare she bet on the child except for being careful and careful?
After eating a piece of dim sum, Qiao Jinwen took Qiao Yixi to the main courtyard.
Originally, Qiao Yixi should have come to say hello to the Feng family first when she first came to the Hou Mansion, but Qiao Jinwen has been delayed until now.
After receiving the maid's notification, the Feng family immediately let the two of them in, as if to show their enthusiasm for Qiao Lixi, the Feng family specially met her in the east time.
"Mrs. Gu." Qiao Lixi performed a fairly regular junior ceremony.
"This is Jojo, right? Get up and let me take a good look. The Feng clan greeted Qiao Yixi warmly.
Holding Qiao Yixi's hand, he looked at it again and again, turned around, and said to the eldest grandmother beside him: "It is said that one side of the water and soil raises one side of the people, I didn't believe it before, they are all from the imperial dynasty, and they all eat the same rice, what can be the difference?" Now that I see these two children, I have to admit that I am lonely. Look at ......."
Feng looked at Qiao Lixi with appreciation, "This kid is so smart...... When I saw Aunt Wen for the first time before, I was thinking, sure enough, it was a girl from Shuzhou, and they all said that the girls in Shuzhou were beautiful, and only when I saw it with my own eyes did I know how beautiful it was. ”
These words are true and false.
When the Feng clan saw Qiao Yixi for the first time, he was very surprised.
I didn't expect that such a poor and remote place in Jincheng could give birth to such a charming person!
It's just a pity.
Feng shook his head regretfully.
The birth is too low, if you are reincarnated well, it is okay to enter the palace to be a mother.
But......
Feng's eyes rolled, and he seemed to have some idea.
It seems that the previous plan is going to be slowed down.
praised Qiao Yixi a few words, asked her about her situation in the capital, and invited her to sit freely, and then the Feng family let the two leave.
"Madame......" Seeing that the master was thoughtful, the eldest grandmother immediately asked.
"After the lord goes down, please ask him to come over."
"Yes, ma'am."
After walking around the Dingguo Marquis Mansion as if completing the task, Qiao Yixi finally got his wish and arrived at Zhuangzi.
It is very difficult to buy a Zhuangzi in the suburbs of the capital, and it is not enough to have money, but also to have power.
The capital is different from Jincheng, as long as Jincheng has silver, it is easy to buy anything, but in the capital, the right can be overwhelming, although it is not absolute, but to a large extent, the silver has to give way to the right.
And Qiao Lixi's Zhuangzi was bought by Qiao Xingbang when he first went to the capital to do business, as for what method he used, Qiao Lixi didn't know, and only secretly sighed in his heart that his cheap father had such a great ability.
Being able to buy a house in the capital where every inch of land is valuable, and being able to buy a Zhuangzi in a place where the powerful are gathered, these are all means and wisdom.
It's just that......
Looking at Gu Jinzhen who followed him with "Anyway, I'm suspended now, so let's play together", Qiao Yixi rolled her eyes angrily.
"Everyone is busy with the souvenir shop, are you out sightseeing, are you embarrassed?" Qiao Yixi asked dryly.
Gu Jinzhen said disapprerovingly: "It's because everyone is busy outside, that's why I have to protect you closely, in case something happens to you, your two cousins come back, I don't have good fruit to eat." ”
Hehe.
Qiao Lixi grinded her teeth.
Everyone wanted to make the specialty shop bigger, so the first time they set sail, several people went into battle in person, the two cousins and Gu Jinzhen's people took the dart master by land, Zhong Chenglin took the waterway, and her painting boat also acted as the responsibility of the merchant ship.
