"Okay, let's talk about gossip." Jin Baijin slapped his hand and looked at Qiao Lixi with burning eyes.

"What are you doing with the Qiao family?" Qiao Lixi said in a clear tone.

"The people from the fourth room have entered Beijing." The golden thief leaned towards Qiao Yixi awkwardly.

Before Qiao Lixi could say anything, Gu Jinzhen grabbed Jin Baijin's collar and pulled him back.

It was also thanks to such a fat body as Jin Baijin, and Gu Jinzhen was moved by two fingers.

Jin Baijin glanced at Gu Jinzhen.

Don't think he doesn't know this guy's mind.

Hmph, he's also Jojo's best friend, and if he wants to win Jojo's favor, it depends on whether he agrees or not.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?" Qiao Yixi sighed.

Jin Baijin said with a smile: "This time, everyone in the fourth room is here, including the old witch!" In addition, Wang Qi of the Wang family came with his wife and children all the way. As soon as the people of the fourth room walked forward, the people of the second and fifth rooms also set out, counting the days, and entered the city on these days. ”

Qiao Yixi looked at Jin Baijin with a strange expression, "Fatty, are you letting people stare at the Qiao family?" ”

The stiffness on Kimberkin's face stiffened for a moment, and then he pretended to be relaxed and said: "I'm just taking precautions, who knows what tricks those people will play, knowing oneself and knowing the other can survive a hundred battles." No, I knew that they had entered Beijing as soon as possible. ”

"Sooner or later, the second prince and the third prince are in the capital, where are they not in the capital? What's more, Qiao Jinwen is still Gu Lao'er's concubine, and Qiao Ningdai has also arrived in the capital, and if the Wang family doesn't work hard, they will really become a foil. ”

"Actually, the capital is already saturated, didn't the third prince keep peeking at Jincheng before?"

"Duanmu Qingxin is big, thinking that he can eat the Gu family in one bite, directly control the transportation hub of Chaotianmen, and then control the economy of Shuzhou, he thinks well, but it's a pity that we are unpredictable and ready at the first time."

Gu Jinzhen's eyes on the side flashed slightly.

"Now, the contradiction between the old emperor and the Marquis of Zhenyuan has intensified, if it weren't for the instability in southern Xinjiang, who knows what the old emperor would do?" Speaking of this, Gu Pingjie suddenly looked at Gu Jinzhen, "I know it may be a little inappropriate for me to say this, but I think that there must be a lot of people who think like this outside, and if they don't know when they can't get it, they will join the Yuanhou of Zhenzhen." ”

"So, what do you want to say?" Qiao Yixi asked.

Gu Pingjie said seriously: "The reason why the war in southern Xinjiang has dragged on until now is because of the contradiction between the Marquis of Zhenyuan and the old emperor, and once the war is stable, the dynasty will not need the Marquis of Zhenyuan, so the old emperor can do anything to the Marquis of Zhenyuan." Therefore, the Marquis of Zhenyuan deliberately did not quell the war, that is, the old emperor could not do without him, and the dynasty could not do without him. Because of his great military achievements, the prestige of the Marquis of Zhenyuan among the people is very high, so in order to improve his prestige, maintain his image, and make the old emperor jealous, the Marquis of Zhenyuan will not let the war in southern Xinjiang end. ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Kim Birkin punched Gu Pingjie in the shoulder.

"There must be someone outside who thinks so, and the old emperor wants to use these public opinion to speculate and say things, and just make any accusations on the head of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and the Marquis of Zhenyuan can only bear it."

Everyone looked at Gu Jinzhen in unison.

Gu Jinzhen smiled slightly, "It's not for nothing that you said about public opinion speculation, some of them are deliberately spread, and some are random speculations by ignorant people. The old emperor is not stupid, the barbarians in southern Xinjiang have been in constant dispute since the first emperor of the dynasty, and the stalemate of decades cannot be broken overnight. If the old emperor really wants to punish us for those rumors, then the dynasty will really be over. On the contrary, not only could he not comply with such speculations, but he also tried his best to suppress these rumors, after all, in the entire imperial dynasty, only our Shen family army could hold the southern frontier. ”

This is an innate self-confidence, without ostentatiousness and without being unassuming.

……

Compared with the specialty shop next door, Qiao Lixi's bone-setting medicine shop was much more lively when it opened, and several children did not come forward and handed it over to Jin Hong, who was the manager of Jincheng's "Diet World", so people in the circle thought that this pharmacy belonged to the Jin family.

As one of the richest men in the dynasty, the Jin family has a wide range of industries under its name, and "Yipinlou" is the most famous one under its name, so when it comes to the Jin family, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is "Yipinlou", however, this time he switched to a pharmacy, and people in the circle do not think it is strange, as long as it is an industry that can make money, the Jin family will do it.

It's just that, to everyone's surprise, the people from the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion actually gave gifts!

Although the Jin family is an imperial businessman and has some friendship with officials in the DPRK and China, they have never walked around in a grand manner, to be exact, not even in private.

This point once made the Jin family an outlier in the circle.

Businessmen without background can't keep the gold and silver mountains, so as long as they have the opportunity, they will be very active in expanding their contacts and clinging to the nobles.

The Jin family is simply gone, and they don't even want this "degree".

Look at it now, what is missing, it is clearly the essence of the depth, this "degree" is controlled too well, and the relationship with the Marquis of Zhenyuan is unknowing.

When he learned that the Marquis of Zhenyuan had ordered gold sore medicine, blood circulation and blood stasis medicine from the pharmacy in the name of the army, and all other medicines for treating external injuries, the eyes of the people in the circle were red.

The Jin family is really the Jin family, and they don't waste their money on ethereal things and things, and if they want to come, they will come directly.

Who is the most stable business in the world?

Naturally, it was the military.

If there is a war, there will be casualties, and if there are casualties, medicinal materials will be needed, although it is a bit immoral to think so, but the businessman starts from the interests and simply looks at the matter of "doing business", and the strategy of the Jin family is the best.

Whether it is envy or jealousy, the business of the bone-setting pharmacy has begun to get on the right track, and several children have also started the development plan of the specialty shop.

Compared with the busyness of those few people, Qiao Lixi was obviously much more leisurely, standing outside the door of the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, Qiao Lixi looked up at the door plaque.

A gilded door plaque that shimmers in the sunlight.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is rare to have such a sunny day in the capital, and Qiao Lixi, who originally planned to go to Zhuangzi in the suburbs, was called here by Qiao Jinwen's post, which is really a waste of time.

With a decent smile on her face, Qiao Lixi followed the little maid who led the way to the inner courtyard.

She originally didn't want to come, but after discussing with Gu Jinzhen, Qiao Lixi decided to come to meet Qiao Jinwen to see what her purpose was.

Of course, Gu Jinzhen, who knows the Dingguo Marquis Mansion best, will not just let Qiao Yixi come alone, in addition to Angelica and Secret Guard, Rice Cake and Wei Nanshui are also in the dark.

Wei Nanshui had been doing his own thing before, and after Qiao Lixi handed him over to Gu Jinzhen, he would occasionally ask him about his situation.

In the end, they are also friends who were born and died together, Qiao Yixi doesn't want to know his secrets, but she also hopes that he can have a smooth ride, in the past, he may need a reason and an answer, but she hopes that Wei Nanshui can have his own world.

Qiao Lixi was extremely relaxed, and did not shrink back at all because this was the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, and followed the little maid to the west courtyard leisurely.

The west courtyard is Qiao Jinwen's courtyard.

The layout of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion is very interesting.

The main courtyard is inhabited by the Marquis of Dingguo and his wife.

Gu Jinxuan and Chang Yulian live in the east courtyard, and Qiao Jinwen lives in the west courtyard.

Gu Jintai lives in the North Courtyard.

Of course, these east, west, north and south courtyards are the internal names of the Dingguo Marquis' Mansion, and externally, they all have their own names.

Just like Gu Jinzhen's courtyard, it has a tall name - Wutong Courtyard.

The most partial, the most shady courtyard of the Hou Mansion.

In the words of the Marquis of Dingguo, it is Gu Jinzhen who lived in the Marquis Mansion of Zhenyuan since he was a child, and he has never come back at all, since he does not regard the Marquis Mansion of Dingguo as his home, then the Hou Mansion does not need to arrange his yard!

It's just that when it was done for outsiders to see, the Dingguo Hou Mansion was still very thoughtful, and specially left a courtyard for Gu Jinzhen, as for the orientation and surrounding environment, only the people of the Hou Mansion themselves knew.

"Jojo." As soon as Qiao Yixi entered the courtyard gate, a gentle voice immediately sounded.

Qiao Lixi subconsciously took a step back, her arms were full of goosebumps, and she looked at Qiao Jinwen vigilantly.

Qiao Jinwen's belly is very big, and she is a little swollen, but the whole person is good, in the end, she is young and in good health, so her spirit is good, plus Xue Tao feels sorry for her daughter, and she sent a lot of good things over, all kinds of mild herbs and food to nourish the body, and even ordered food from the "Meal World", every two days, she would let the "Meal World" send nourishing medicinal food, and the accounts were all counted in Qiao's house.

The Dingguo Marquis Mansion also wants to save face, how can it be possible to ask Qiao Jinwen's maiden family to pay?

Regardless of whether Qiao Jinwen is a wife or a concubine, there is no reason for her mother's family to settle the bill.

The Feng family could only bite their cheeks and count all the silver of the order in the middle feed of the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, and they couldn't let outsiders say that one of their son's concubines had something to eat, and they still needed money from her mother's family.

The Marquis of Dingguo can't afford to lose this face.

The Feng family can't afford to lose this face.

The connivance with Qiao Jinwen is just for the sake of the child in her belly, but this does not mean that she can do whatever she wants!

Feng, who has never been so aggrieved, has been holding back.

Qiao Jinwen didn't know that she only loved the Feng family and favored her a little.

This time, it was because she knew that Qiao Lixi was her sister, so she specially invited Qiao Lixi to sit in the mansion, and the two sisters had a good talk.

Regarding the good intentions of the Feng family, Qiao Lixi naturally did not dare to refuse.

What can she say?

Say that the two sisters are not in harmony?

Besides, she also wanted to meet Qiao Lixi and see how she looked now.

Oh, the daughter of the long house?

If it weren't for the Gu family's funding, would the long house have lasted until now?

No matter how favored Gu Jingshu is, she is only the daughter of the Gu family.

The water that was spilled out, it is one thing for Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu to feel distressed, but Gu Jingshu also has two brothers and sister-in-law!
