"In the past few days, my grandmother and fourth uncle have been busy with my uncle's affairs, and the whole Jincheng has been in trouble." Qiao Ningdai looked sad.

"I heard the maid mention two sentences, is it serious?"

Qiao Lixi's character is wooden and introverted, so she doesn't know anything about her, but Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai don't feel that anything is wrong.

"It's very troublesome, we all know what my uncle is, but the government has both human and physical evidence, so it's very troublesome."

"What did grandmother and fourth uncle say?"

Qiao Jinwen shook her head, "Grandmother and my father have checked everything they should have checked in the past few days, and they turned Jincheng upside down, but they couldn't find any other clues, and now they are at a loss." ”

Looking for someone to give false testimony?

When it comes to human life, the Qiao family doesn't dare to deceive, if they really want the East Window incident to happen, it will be a punishment for the head.

A Li Ruicheng would not let the Qiao family lose such a big sum, even if Li Ruicheng couldn't get away with it, he wouldn't even be able to affect Qiao Linzi, so they just had to do their best.

"If it wasn't for my uncle's doing, then I would definitely be able to find evidence, but I just had to worry more about my grandmother and fourth uncle."

"Yes," Qiao Jinwen was absent-minded, "Because of this incident, our Qiao family and Li family are panicked, especially my aunt, who has been running on both sides these days, and people are a lot haggard." The two cousins also suspended their business and studies to work on their uncle's affairs. ”

Qiao Lixi looked like she didn't care about herself, picked up the flower tea in front of her, and sighed twice.

It tastes good, let Gu Jinzhen send some over next time.

Since she made it clear to Gu Jinzhen that day, the relationship between the two has not been one step closer, but for the things sent by Gu Jinzhen, which is called reparation, she will not refuse, and in the past few days, there have been a lot of good things in the East Courtyard.

"Qiaoqiao's tea is good, I have never drunk it, and it seems to be different from ordinary tea." Qiao Ningdai held the teacup and said beautifully.

"Well, it was brought in from Fanbang, and it was sent by Young Master Zhong yesterday." Qiao Lixi said casually.

"The Zhong family's business is very big, mostly trading with Fanbang, there is very little business in the dynasty, only porcelain, it is said that it is still an imperial businessman," Qiao Ningdai said innocently, "I can't figure it out, the Zhong family is so powerful, the imperial businessman, it's no problem to walk sideways in the dynasty, why do you have to do business with Fanbang?" Although the merchant ships of the Zhong family are invincible, but the affairs of the sea, who can say clearly, doing business with those red-haired and blue-eyed barbarians, making a lot of money, but once something happens, it will be useless, and it is not good to stay in the dynasty? ”

Qiao Lixi didn't answer, Qiao Ningdai paused, and said, "However, Qiao Qiao, when did you have such a good relationship with Young Master Zhong?" I haven't seen you interact before. ”

Not only is Qiao Ningdai strange, but I'm afraid the entire business circle in Jincheng is strange.

Not only with Zhong Chenglin, but also with Jin Baijin, the relationship is inexplicably good, if it weren't for the fact that Qiao Lixi knew Jin Baijin in ethnology, if it wasn't for Qiao Lixi who has been living under their noses, they would still think that they had changed someone!

But that's it, it's enough to keep them on guard.

Qiao Yixi was also confused, "Fifth sister, others don't know, don't you know?" Years ago, when did I go out? The only few times I followed the third sister and the fourth aunt. My character, you know best, don't talk about outsiders, even with my brothers and sisters at home, I am also a wooden person, how can I have anything to do with outsiders? ”

This is true, whether it is Qiao Lixi's temperament or the low profile of the Zhong family, Qiao Lixi and Zhong Chenglin will not intersect, but this does not mean that they believe Qiao Lixi's words.

She, a seemingly harmless cousin, has fallen into the eyes of Mrs. Lu, who knows if those people are coming for Zhenyuanhou.

But one thing this wild seed is right, whether it is openly or secretly, she has never contacted anyone outside.

Letting go of the uneasiness in her heart, Qiao Jinwen said casually: "Qiao Qiao is the most blessed of our sisters, not only did the uncle give you the sub-chapter, you are still the president of the Chamber of Commerce, the Zhong family and the Jin family are not ordinary to you, but ......"

Frowning, Qiao Jinwen is the confidant sister who worries about her sisters, "You are a girl who has not left the cabinet after all, the Zhong family and the Jin family do this, there are more and more suspicions outside, even if my grandmother doesn't say anything, your fifth sister and I are not afraid of being influenced by you, but this kind of rumor has spread a lot, and everyone is afraid that it will affect you in the future." You are now the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and reputation matters. ”

Qiao Yixi nodded after being taught, "I understand the third sister's worries, thank you for the reminder." Third sister, don't worry, I am measured, my dealings with the Zhong family and the Jin family are on the surface, and we haven't done anything in private, besides, what we are talking about is the business of the Chamber of Commerce, so there will be no problem. ”

Qiao Jinwen nodded reassuringly, and the topic returned to flower tea, "Speaking of which, I still can't get used to drinking this Bang's tea, I don't have the taste of tea, but my mouth is full of floral fragrance." ”

"By the way, Qiaoqiao, you don't know yet, Gu Gongzi is here." Qiao Ningdai smiled teasingly at Qiao Jinwen as she spoke, and the latter glared at her, as if to warn.

Qiao Ningdai said deliberately: "Qiao Qiao, you say, is Gu Gongzi here for the third sister?" ”

"Old Five!" Qiao Jinwen was annoyed and angry.

Qiao Ningdai grimaced, "Who doesn't know Gu Gongzi's thoughts, if he wasn't interested in the third sister, how could he send something over?" That set of red coral head noodles has a price, that is, Lafayette in the palace has a set, and it is not as good as the third sister. It's just that the third sister is filial and respects her grandmother. If Gu Gongzi has no intention of the third sister, can he do this? Even if Gu Gongzi returned to Beijing, he also sent a lot of things over, this time I heard that Gu Gongzi came from the capital overnight, and three horses died on the road, who else can make Gu Gongzi so anxious, except for the third sister? Jojo, you say, huh? ”

affectionately took Qiao Lixi's arm.

Qiao Yixi quietly withdrew her hand by putting down the teacup, "The news of the fifth sister is very fast. ”

"That's, Qiaoqiao, don't you know, in order to see the third sister for the first time, Gu Gongzi actually deliberately installed our painting boat on the second day of February."

"It's my boat." Qiao Lixi corrected.

Qiao Ningdai's face was slightly red, and she quickly returned to normal, "No matter whose painting boat it is, Qiao Qiao, you see, Gu Gongzi even used such a clumsy method for the sake of the third sister, which shows how much he cares about the third sister." Qiaoqiao, don't you know, Gu Gongzi came to apologize in person, for fear that the third sister would be injured, he had to ask a doctor on the spot, and later sent wine from the Western Regions over, and afterwards, he sent someone to ask if there was anything that needed to be repaired in the painting boat...... Speaking of which, this Gu Gongzi is also considerate, he can think of so much, and he is a horse businessman, and he should be a person with a very high status in the capital. ”

A look of longing, yearning and envy.

"It turned out that it broke my painting boat, no wonder I sent so many things over the past few days." Qiao Yixi finally spoke.

She knew that Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai came to the East Courtyard for a purpose, and after so many detours, they finally got to the point.

"You girl," Qiao Jinwen glared at Qiao Yixi with disgust, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, it's a little bit less, although the painting boat was hit, but the master took someone to check it, and there was no problem." That's the craftsmanship of the Gao family, a warship that can fight at sea can still be damaged? Gu Gongzi sent things, because he would behave in the world, since the painting boat is fine, you don't have nothing to do. ”

"Yo, third sister, you will protect it." Qiao Ningdai narrowed her sentence.

Qiao Jinwen blushed suddenly, "I'm just talking about things, and I collided with me and Qiao Qiao's painting boat, it's his fault, but he has already apologized and sent so many things over, we can't ignore people." ”

Qiao Ningdai covered her mouth and snickered.

Qiao Jinwen looked at Qiao Lixi.

Qiao Yixi's head is big.

Gu Jinzhen has sent a lot of things in the past two days, some of which were sent by Zhong Chenglin's hand, Qiao Jinwen is in a hurry?

Qiao Yixi thought about it carefully.

In the first few contacts, Gu Jinzhen did not show too much attention to Qiao Jinwen, with Qiao Jinwen's temperament, Gu Jinzhen's horse businessman's character can be regarded as able to enter her eyes, but Qiao Yi is going to take a career in office, so it is impossible for Qiao Jinwen to marry a businessman, so Gu Jinzhen's character design does not meet Qiao Jinwen's requirements.

As for the purpose of these two people's coming here -

is just to test her relationship with Zhong Chenglin, and to warn her that Gu Jinzhen is interested in Qiao Jinwen, not her.

So, what you can't get is the best?

She understands Qiao Jinwen's thoughts a little bit - it's one thing for Qiao Jinwen to look down on Gu Jinzhen, and it's another thing for Gu Jinzhen to take the initiative to give up.

Seeing that Qiao Yixi didn't seem to understand what she meant, Qiao Ningdai glanced at Qiao Jinwen, gritted her teeth, and said clearly: "Qiao Qiao, you are still young, and the uncle and aunt are not by your side, there are some things that the fifth sister is inconvenient to say, but the words are contrary to the ear, even if you listen to it, you will feel uncomfortable, the fifth sister has to say, the fifth sister's original intention is good." We are sisters, the fifth sister naturally puts you first, so she will say these heart-wrenching words, you have very few contacts, and Gu Gongzi is a person who can coax people, don't be coaxed by Gu Gongzi's sweet words and do things that shouldn't be done. ”

"Didn't Gu Gongzi coax the third sister?" Qiao Yixi asked innocently.

"The authorities are fascinated, the fifth sister is an outsider, so I can see it really, Gu Gongzi has a heart for the third sister."

So she's just a playmate?

"Gu Gongzi treats you differently, firstly, because he hit your painting boat that day, and secondly, because you are the cousin of the third sister, Gu Gongzi loves the house and Wu, so he wants to get close to you, so as to get close to the third sister."

"So troublesome?" Qiao Yixi still "didn't understand", but this didn't prevent her from "understanding" Qiao Ningdai's words.

"Yes, Fifth Sister is afraid that you won't understand what Gu Gongzi means, so she has the cheekiness to tell you this." Qiao Ningdai really took great pains, and in order to convince Qiao Lixi, she found out all the excuses.
