Zhao Mei muttered a few words, obviously still emotional.

Jiang Qin warned coldly: "Where is the position of our mother and daughter in the fifth room, you know best, although I am a mother-in-law and you are a daughter-in-law, but your father is a patriarch, why Aunt Xia can walk sideways in the fifth room is not because she is angry and gave birth to a son to your father." How she stepped on the heads of our mother and daughter before, you won't forget, right? Now, why is she bowing her head in front of me? It's not because I'm afraid of the Gu family, the Gu family is our biggest reliance, don't forget what I said to you. ”

"In that case, then why don't we marry the Gu family?" This is what Zhao Mei wants to ask the most.

Marrying into the Gu family, her status is extremely noble, those people in the Zhao family have to look at her face, she doesn't have to please Mrs. Gu anymore, in the future, the rights of the Gu family are in her hands, the Zhao family?

Hehe, she really doesn't like it.

Jiang Qin said funny: "Gu family? Do you think the Gu family is so easy to enter? When you enter the Gu family, it will not be you who control the backyard of the Gu family, but the Gu family who will control the Zhao family. ”

"Mother......

"Why, think it's impossible?" Jiang Qin looked at Zhao Mei narrowly.

After all, he is an adult, and he has a long-term vision than Zhao Mei, and he thinks through and is ambitious, but he is not delusional.

"Well, don't think about things that are too long-term, the first priority is to deal with the present. That Qiao Lixi is not to be afraid, Gu Jingshu is a defeated subordinate of her mother, and Qiao Lixi will not be your opponent. ”

Zhao Mei quickly adjusted her mood.

The affairs of the Gu family, her mother told her very thoroughly, she knows Gu Jingshu and Qiao Lixi very well, and she is ugly today because she doesn't know that "Qiao Qiao" is Qiao Lixi, otherwise, she would not lose so much face.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Mei returned to the flower hall with a smile.

With her previous experience, Zhao Mei no longer dominates the guests and is a guest with peace of mind.

However, Qiao Lixi was taken by the Zhang family and the Li family to receive guests, and soon, everyone knew her identity.

Taking advantage of the opportunity for everyone to walk towards the banquet, a girl in a red jacket walked to Zhao Mei's side.

"Yo, isn't this Sister Mei, why didn't you get ready today?"

Zhao Mei's face changed slightly, and she quickly put on a smile again, "In the past, the old lady loved me and gave me a chance to practice, but I can't rely on the old lady's favor to lose my proportions?" If you want to practice, there are many opportunities, and when Sister Ming'er arrives at Zhao's house, her sister will definitely treat her well. ”

Gao Fu covered her mouth and chuckled, "It turns out that Sister Mei has changed places to practice, and my sister thought that the main master was back, and Sister Mei saw her position clearly, so she took a back seat." ”

"Sister Fu's words are excessive, I know, I understand that our sisters are joking, I don't know, I think my sister is sowing discord. Since my sister is joking, then stop in moderation, so as not to be misunderstood by others and affect the relationship between our two families. Zhao Mei bit her cheek and warned.

Gao Fu smiled and held Zhao Mei's arm affectionately, "It's still my sister who loves me, I'm afraid that I'm not sensible, so she reminded me a few words." Actually, my sister is also not worth it for my sister, and I am tired and tired every year, I don't know, I think the Gu family is lacking. ”

Zhao Mei's face was ugly, and she tried to maintain a smile, and smiled at Qiao Yixi.

The three girls were walking together, and Zhao Mei and Gao Fu did not deliberately avoid Qiao Lixi when they spoke, so Qiao Lixi heard it very clearly, these two people did not deal with each other, presumably, the relationship between Zhao and Gao was not good.

Although they fought the Chaotianmen together, no matter how good the brothers are, they will turn against each other because of their interests, not to mention that the Zhao family has taken a lot of benefits from the Gu family because of Zhao Mei over the years, and it is strange that the Gao family is not angry.

No matter what the private situation of several families is, in front of Mr. Gu, everyone is a good brother and a family that loves each other, so the atmosphere at the dinner table is very warm. Although the men and women have separate tables, they are not separated by screens.

Everyone was happy at the dinner table, and a few juniors were alone at the table, and they were messing around.

They are all from small people, even if they are now businessmen on the rich side, they don't have such cumbersome rules, they don't have any fancy things like drinking orders, and everyone has more time to chat.

Because there were several cousins there, Qiao Lixi did not play the role of the master, but shrank in a corner in a low-key manner to concentrate on eating. But her "humility" did not get Zhao Mei's calm, but teased: "Qiaoqiao, you are the master today, how can there be a master who buries his head in eating and does not take care of the guests?" ”

"That is, when my fourth sister helps Mrs. Gu take care of the banquet every year, she is busy before and after, for fear that the hospitality will not be good and affect the face of the Gu Mansion."

It was a woman in yellow who spoke, Qiao Yixi had already asked clearly, she was the concubine of the fourth room of the Zhao family, she didn't remember her name, and the Zhao family ranked eighth.

Gu Pingqing is grumpy, not to mention it, he was not on the same page with the daughter of the Zhao family, and when he saw that someone was "bullying" Qiao Qiao, he was the first to rush over.

It's just that one sleeve was pulled, and it was held down by Qiao Yixi.

What do men get involved in the fight between women?

Now it's just a matter of mouthing, and it's not time to do it yet.

Glancing at Zhao Mei, Qiao Lixi said gently: "Over the years, it is indeed not easy for Sister Mei to help her grandmother with so many things, and this is also an opportunity for her grandmother to give Sister Mei." Sister Mei is a capable person, she doesn't say everything herself, and she checks it repeatedly, but she is afraid that there will be mistakes. After all, it is not a family, and no matter how well my grandmother treats Sister Mei, she is no better than her own grandson. Sister Mei came with a learning mentality, and if she didn't do well, she would be punished by her grandmother, so she was careful and careful. But Qiaoqiao is different, Qiaoqiao is lazy, so my grandmother said, my main task today is to eat and play well, and those things that need to be worried about will be solved. Of course, I can't do nothing, but my grandmother said that these things will be talked about in the next year, and I will live happily this year. Even if I don't study well, my grandmother won't punish me, so I don't worry. ”

In a tone of voice, Qiao Lixi said it in a low voice, not only was she comfortable, but her cousins also felt comfortable.

See, this is the difference between a "family member" and an "outsider".

Zhao Mei's face darkened, but she didn't dare to attack, so she could only smile and say, "The old lady hurts you." ”

Seeing that Zhao Mei was deflated, everyone didn't dare to look for Qiao Yixi's stubble, no matter how jealous or unfair they were, they had to endure it.

Of course, there are also careful people, who quietly curry favor, and do not do it obviously, with caution.

Qiao Lixi did not refuse, she would not stay in Chaotianmen for long, there was no need to make enemies for herself, besides, her business would start from Chaotianmen in the future.

After the meal, everyone went to the theater to watch the play.

Mrs. Gu likes opera, this is one of her few interests, Mr. Gu, as a proper wife and slave, specially built a theater in Gufu, and the Gu family has its own opera troupe, which can meet Mrs. Gu's wishes at any time.

When Mrs. Gu wanted to watch the play, she invited them over. On weekdays, these people practice basic skills and arrange some new repertoire, and the expenses are all paid by the Gu family, so the opera troupe does not have to worry about their livelihood.

It's just that Qiao Yixi is not interested in things like Sichuan Opera, compared to Peking Opera, Sichuan Opera is too noisy on stage.

Sitting in the audience, she secretly looked at the people of the Zhao family and the Gao family.

Today, the old men of the two families are here, and they are the same age as the old man Gu, but the body does not look as strong as the old man Gu, presumably because the days of pampering and pampering over the years have been too comfortable, not to mention the physical blessings, and there are a little more rich and noble diseases.

In front of Old Man Gu, the two old men were neither humble nor arrogant, and they looked like good brothers, but Qiao Lixi didn't believe that these two people were really content with the status quo.

They are all mixed up in Chaotianmen, how can the brothers who come out together live better than themselves?

It's just that both of them are extremely deep in the city.

Look at the Zhao family.

If Old Man Zhao was willing to accept the status quo, how could he acquiesce to Zhao Mei's flattery in the Gu family?

As for the Gao family?

Qiao Lixi was a little unable to see through.

Old man Gao is like a Maitreya Buddha, with a round body, with a round head, or the kind with a bald head, he smiles when he meets people, is kind to people, and the smile lines at the corners of his eyes are very deep, as if he will not be angry.

But the more such people are, the deeper they hide.

Qiao Yixi thought so.

But she secretly observed for a long time, but she didn't see any flaws, and she was a little frustrated.

Retracting her scattered thoughts, she glanced left and right.

Of the five sons of the Zhao family, except for the eldest son who died, the remaining four sons came with their families. She didn't know the situation of the Zhao family's rooms, but from the observation, she found that the Zhao family's peaceful waves were surging, because of the old man Zhao in charge, the people in several rooms barely maintained harmony.

This is also the reason why Zhao Mei flatters Mrs. Gu.

Find a backer for Wufang, no matter what Wufang can get from the Zhao family in the future, its own development will not be bad.

The Gao family?

Qiao Yixi still didn't see through it, just like she didn't see through Old Man Gao.

Old Man Gao has a son and two daughters, so here today is the second son and only son of Old Man Gao, in terms of numbers, the Gao family is obviously worse.

"What are Jojo looking at?" Gu Pingjie came over at some point.

"The relationship between the Zhao family, the Gao family and our family is very good." Qiao Lixi said "innocently".

Gu Pingjie looked disapproving, "It's just superficial." ”

Qiao Yixi blinked, it turned out that everyone knew it in their hearts.

Gu Pingjie lowered his voice and said: "Over the years, the Zhao family and the Gao family have made a lot of small moves, but it didn't get our Gu family, and my grandfather just turned a blind eye, but secretly, we all stared at it." Although the Zhao family and the Gao family followed their grandfather to fight the Chaotianmen together, over the years, our Gu family has given a lot of benefits, it depends on whether they know whether they are interested or not. ”

"If they join forces...... "That's a hidden danger."

Gu Pingjie said with a serious expression: "The Gu family can dominate in Chaotianmen, it is not brute force, we also use our brains," Gu Pingjie poked his temple with his finger and said to Qiao Lixi, "The power of the Gu family in Chaotianmen, what you see is only on the surface and secretly, and if you have a chance in the future, my cousin will take you to see and understand." ”

Is this going to be familiar to the hall?

Qiao Yixi nodded excitedly.
