The capital is getting colder and colder, Qiao Yixi is at home and refuses to go out, but today it is early in the morning, because Old Man Gu's family is going to the capital.

Gu Jingshu had people guard the city gate a few days ago, according to Gu Shijun's letter, she should be in the capital in the next two days, Qiao Yixi was idle, and took the initiative to ask for help.

Qiao Xingbang also laughed at her, if she hadn't waited for someone today, she wouldn't have cried her nose and provoked Qiao Yixi to grin at him.

Gu Jinzhen had been waiting in the flower hall for a long time, and Qiao Xingbang was chatting with him with tea, but he didn't let him go to the backyard.

Gu Jinzhen knew the careful thinking of his future father-in-law, and he was neither in a hurry nor in a hurry. After Qiao Yixi packed up and got into the carriage, he turned around and smiled at Qiao Xingbang.

Qiao Xingbang was so angry that he grinded his teeth, but he didn't stop it.

The two children are going to live together in the future, the young couple have a good relationship, and they have less to worry about as elders, which is a good thing, but looking at the smug appearance of the dead boy, Qiao Xingbang felt itchy hands.

As soon as Gu Jinzhen got into the carriage, he diligently took out a snack and poured a cup of hot tea for Qiao Yixi.

There is a charcoal stove in the carriage, I don't know how Gu Jinzhen dealt with it, she can't smell the smell of charcoal fire, she only feels very warm, plus Gu Jinzhen also specially prepared a hand stove for her, sitting in the carriage, Qiao Lixi is very comfortable.

Handing the hot tea to Qiao Yixi, Gu Jinzhen reached out and untied her cloak and scarf, "It's warm in the car, don't wear so much, you won't be comfortable when you go out." ”

Qiao Lixi was too lazy to move, and let Gu Jinzhen babble to help her tidy up, and then, not surprisingly, Gu Jinzhen hugged her from behind.

"When my grandfather comes back and the elders of our two families officially meet, I will make up my mind." Just talking about it, Gu Jinzhen felt extremely happy.

"Don't get too happy, what if something happens?" Qiao Lixi habitually hit him.

Gu Jinzhen's face suddenly darkened.

If it was something else, it didn't matter what Qiao Qiao said, but nothing could be said about this matter!

"Jojo, don't talk nonsense, spit quickly!"

"Are you still so superstitious?" Saying this, Qiao Lixi still took care of Jinzhen's words.

Even if she didn't see Gu Jinzhen's face, she felt the aura of the yin owl on the other party's body.

"Don't joke about this, and in the future, you can't joke about the two of us!" Gu Jinzhen's face was solemn.

Qiao Yixi didn't know what to say.

Originally, it was really just a joke, but I didn't expect Gu Jinzhen to be so serious.

Looking sideways, meeting Gu Jinzhen's serious gaze, Qiao Lixi assured calmly: "No, not in the future." ”

"That's pretty much it." Gu Jinzhen, who had been reassured, nodded with satisfaction, "Over there in the 'Wutong Pavilion', I have already asked people to renovate it, but the yard is not big, and the environment is not good......

"It doesn't matter, good or bad, it's a nest for the two of us."

These words were intimate, Gu Jinzhen immediately smiled, "I asked people to separate the yard, the front yard is my study, and the back yard is the wing room and two ear rooms." I had a small kitchen rebuilt. How do you want to arrange the transept? ”

Qiao Yixi didn't answer immediately, but asked, "Is it safe for you to get the study to the front?" ”

"You have to give them a little thought, don't you?" Gu Jinzhen said with a wicked taste.

Qiao Lixi nodded, "The ear room, one is used as a living room, and the other is used as an office."

"The parlor? Office? Gu Jinzhen was confused.

Qiao Lixi explained: "When the people in the other courtyards are visiting the door, there must be a place to drink tea and chat, right? ”

Gu Jinzhen nodded.

"I have to deal with business matters from time to time, as well as things on the Zhuangzi and the shop, and I can't be in the bedroom when I see the steward or something?"

"You'd better keep each room separate."

The pattern of "Wutong Pavilion" is not large.

Think about it, how much land can the Feng family give Gu Jinzhen?

The environment is relatively remote, and Qiao Yixi and Gu Jinzhen are very satisfied with this. Both of them don't like to be lively, the only thing that makes Gu Jinzhen dissatisfied is that the yard is shady, it's okay in summer, it's cool to live in, and it's colder in winter. In this regard, Qiao Lixi said that it didn't matter, and it would be solved by asking the Feng family to ask for more silver silk carbon.

As for what method to use, Qiao Lixi didn't say, and Gu Jinzhen didn't ask, in short, Gu Jinzhen was so confident in his daughter-in-law!

The layout of the "Wutong Pavilion", Gu Jinzhen did not make major changes, only added a study in front, and the study and bedroom were separated by an arch.

The yard has been barren for so long, overgrown with weeds, when repairing the yard this time, Gu Jinzhen made a lot of cherished flowers and plants, he knew that Qiao Yixi liked flowers and plants, especially mint, and it seemed that he was still blindly dispensing bone-setting medicine, so he simply planted mint in a corner of the inner courtyard.

Peppermint does not need to be taken care of, and it is a piece once it is reproduced, which is also trouble-free.

In addition, a small kitchen was added, thinking that she could eat at the same table with Qiao Qiao, Gu Jinzhen was very happy in her heart, and her requirements for the small kitchen were also very high.

The three subordinate rooms are in the most corner, not that Gu Jinzhen is harsh, but that he thinks that the two-person world of him and Qiao Qiao cannot be disturbed by superfluous people, and inconsequential people go aside.

When the two arrived at the city gate, it was still early at noon, and the people arranged by Gu Jingshu saw that the two of them were busy and stepped forward to greet them.

Qiao Lixi gave a few instructions, and went to the teahouse with Gu Jinzhen.

Because he had already been threatened and warned by Gu Jinzhen, so the friends didn't come to join in the fun, Gu Jinzhen took the opportunity to discuss the next things to be prepared with Qiao Lixi, and it was close to noon, and the two were about to order food, and the people below came up and said that Old Man Gu's family had entered Beijing.

Qiao Lixi immediately ran down with her skirt, Gu Jinzhen shook her head helplessly, and followed.

"Maternal grandfather, maternal grandmother, eldest uncle, little uncle, eldest aunt, little aunt, third cousin." After saying it in one breath, Qiao Yixi gasped heavily.

"Why is Jojo here?" Old Man Gu stepped forward.

At this time, Gu Jinzhen also came over, bowed his hand, and said hello one by one.

Old Man Gu nodded, although he wondered why Gu Jinzhen followed, but he didn't ask too much, and let the two children get into the carriage first.

Qiao Lixi followed her grandmother and two aunts in the back carriage, the rare daughters of the Li family and the Yang family, and the relationship with her sister-in-law was also good, so she was even more fond of Qiao Lixi.

Qiao Yixi asked a few people about the situation on the road, and then asked about the situation in Chaotianmen, and then talked about the two cousins first, and finally talked about the family.

"Those two leather monkeys are not happy," Li said with a straight face, "I'm still saying, call them back at the end of the year, restrain and restrain them, these two dead boys are good, write back directly, and don't come back at the end of the year!" ”

Yang on the side gritted his teeth and agreed.

Qiao Yixi shrank in the arms of Mrs. Gu and explained with a smile: "Before the end of the year, we are preparing a batch of new goods, in addition to the ones brought back by my cousin, there are also those brought back by Zhong Chenglin from the sea, and we want to make a fortune while the year is over." ”

"I think those two dead boys took this opportunity and didn't want to go home, so they just came out for a long time and went wild." Li felt uncomfortable and was still chattering.

But Mrs. Gu could see it, "It's a good thing that my brother is lively, whose brother do you see is raised in the backyard, like a girl, and the door is not out of the second door?" When your dad was as old as his brother, there were dozens of people under him. ”

Li snorted and laughed, "Dad, that's a real skill, the two brothers have lived a stable life since they were children, although they also let them experience it from time to time, but they haven't gone through, it's worse in the end." ”

"The two cousins are very powerful," Qiao Yixi hurriedly retorted exaggeratedly, "This time the business was arranged by the two cousins throughout the whole process, from the route, manpower to safety, after arriving over there, the people were not familiar with the place, and the two cousins were stunned to get so many goods back, and they were all in demand." ”

"Yo, Jojo still knows that it's in demand." Li asked deliberately rhetorically.

Qiao Yixi nodded thoughtfully, "Of course I know, I also have an industry under my name!" ”

It was so exciting, and several elders were angry and funny.

"Qiaoqiao, what's going on with Gu Jinzhen?" After gossiping, Old Madam Gu finally asked.

Li and Yang looked at Qiao Yixi narrowly.

Qiao Yixi didn't twist at all, and said generously: "This matter, my mother will tell you personally." ”

Old Madam Gu raised her eyebrows and glanced at Qiao Yixi meaningfully.

When she arrived at the Gu Mansion, Qiao Yixi was the first to jump out of the carriage, as if she sensed something, she looked at the carriage in front of her, and happened to meet Gu Jinzhen's bitter gaze.

Qiao Lixi suddenly smiled.

You don't have to think about it to guess how Gu Jinzhen was "tortured to confess" by Old Man Gu and his two uncles before!

Qiao Lixi gave her a helpless look, and helped her two aunts and Mrs. Gu get out of the carriage respectively.

Gu Jingshu had already gotten the news here, and as soon as she walked to the door, she saw a group of people coming in, and inevitably had to say a few words of greeting, and then everyone went to the flower hall to sit down.

Li and Yang respectively grabbed their son's ears and scolded, and Gu Pingqing stood aside and gloated.

Gu Jingshu asked about the situation of the Gu family.

After being "framed" last time, the Gu family not only did not suffer a big injury, but was a blessing in disguise, after the Gao family and the Zhao family were eradicated, the Gu family directly annexed the forces of the two families.

Originally, the Gu family saw that the two old men had laid down Chaotianmen together, so they did not monopolize Chaotianmen, but gave them a lost territory, and allowed them to pull around Chaotianmen and occupy an area.

Now, these things that once belonged to the Zhao family and the Gao family were all taken in by the Gu family, and before the old man Gu left, the Gu family monopolized all the resources of Chaotianmen and the surrounding area.

seems to be stronger than before, and has completely become a thorn in the old emperor's side and a thorn in the flesh.

Old Man Gu is very optimistic, "Even if we don't annex those forces, the old emperor and Duanmuqing will not let us go, in their eyes, we are the faction of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and the forces left by the Marquis of Zhenyuan in Shuzhou." Since both horizontal and vertical are to be eradicated, it is better to develop well, in case we can still struggle? ”
