Chapter 242 - Family Action
The affairs of the court have nothing to do with the merchants, they only care about profits. The current situation will affect the interests, as long as you don't get involved, as long as you smell some signs in advance, change the business strategy, which is very important for businessmen.
In addition, no matter how the Qiao family is now, in Jincheng, the status of the Qiao family has always been the first place, and now, the Qiao family has attached the Dingguo Hou Mansion, before, the old lady of the Marquis of Zhenyuan also looked at Qiao Yixi differently, the Qiao family, this is going to be developed.
The Qiao family, which has always been affected by the separation, is now finally raising their eyebrows.
Before, because of the clean house of the long house, the Qiao family was covered with haze on their heads for a long time, which became the focus of discussion among the people of Jincheng. Now, coming back strongly, Old Madam Qiao's wrinkled face kept smiling.
Qiao Jinwen knew her mother's request to the eldest grandmother of the Dingguo Hou Mansion, and she was a little anxious, in case Mrs. Guohou was annoyed by the Qiao family, and she didn't even give her the title of a good concubine, what should she do?
She is the second young master of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, who dares to marry her?
Even if she dares, she can't look down on it!
In the imperial dynasty, how many families can compare with the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion?
Even if she just wants to be a good concubine, she has more face than ordinary wives.
Qiao Jinwen complained very much about Xue Tao, but she also knew that she was doing it for her own good.
In the conflict, Qiao Jinwen raised the fetus while learning the rules from the eldest grandmother.
Considering her physical condition, the eldest grandmother only roughly explained the rules of the Hou Mansion. Anyway, it's just a concubine, there is no chance to go out of the house, and there is no need to receive guests, as long as you can respect your wife in the house and keep your duty, nothing else is required. As for the intricate relationship in the Beijing circle, the eldest grandmother has not yet given the brochure to Qiao Jinwen, after all, she has not received a reply from her wife.
……
Qiao Lixi presided over the first major event ushered in by Jincheng Valley Mansion - the cheap brother has been 100 days.
So during this time, she has been preparing for her brother's 100-day banquet.
Qiao Xingbang and Gu Jingshu meant that they didn't want to make a big deal, so they had a meal with their families, but the Gu family asked people to bring a letter in advance, up to Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu, down to Qiao Lixi's cousins, and the people of the Gu family would come.
That's a big deal.
From Gu Jingshu's marriage to the present, the people of the Gu family have mostly walked around during the New Year's holidays, or Qiao Lixi's two uncles occasionally come to give some novelty gadgets. Even so, the Gu family is deliberately low-key, on the one hand, it is necessary to maintain Gu Jingshu's dignity, not only to move around often, but also to send good things, on the other hand, not to bring trouble to Gu Jingshu, lest the people of Gu Jingshu's family have opinions.
Therefore, every time Qiao Lixi's two uncles came to Qiao's house, they came in a hurry, and then left in a hurry, and a lot of good things were delivered, but they didn't leave a single meal. Because Gu Jingshu was not in good health, Gu Shiyang and Gu Shijun didn't want her to work, so they didn't stay long every time.
Who knows, the more they think about Gu Jingshu like this, the more they get used to the Qiao family's people.
After deep introspection, Mrs. Gu realized her connivance, but before she had time to be high-profile, the Qiao family broke up.
Now, the Gu family is even more freewheeling, the family, dozens of carriages, carrying all kinds of novelties and treasures, escorted by their own dart bureau, arrived in Jincheng.
On an ordinary morning, the soldiers guarding the city were sleepy-eyed, yawned and went up to the city wall, and saw the mighty convoy not far away, and the yellow sand behind the butt of the car, and instantly sobered up.
After looking and seeing, and making sure that the person who opened the way in front was holding the banner of the Gu family, he trembled and notified the people guarding the gate under the city tower.
The people of the Gu family entered Jincheng with such a shocking picture on such an ordinary morning.
From the city gate to the Gu Mansion, it was only a stick of incense, and the people in the entire Jincheng circle knew that the people of the Gu family were coming.
This is the first time that the people of the Gu family have appeared in front of everyone after clearing their suspicions, and it is still with such a shocking scene. There are people who are not afraid of big things, and they gloat guess that the people of the Gu family are here to ask for an explanation for Qiao's family.
Think about it, which family is separated, and the long house is out of the house?
That's the eldest son, not even as good as a concubine, I don't know what Mrs. Qiao thinks, even the most undesirable concubine can get a share of the family property, but his own son has nothing. You know, the Qiao family can have the current scale, it is all the credit of Qiao Xingbang, throw out a God of Wealth, does the Qiao family think that the silver is too much?
There are well-informed people in the market, after learning that Qiao Xingbang broke up, he can't engage in industries related to Shu brocade and Shu embroidery, and he is even more contemptuous of Qiao's family.
It seems that the secret recipe of the Qiao family is to give the fourth room, and in order to prevent the development of the long house, Mrs. Qiao is unscrupulous.
However, after all, this is a family matter of the Qiao family, outsiders can discuss it privately, but it will not be put on the surface, now that the people of the Gu family are here, the Qiao family is going to become a talking point after tea and dinner in Jincheng.
Those who didn't think it was a big deal, after learning the news that the Gu family had come to Jincheng, they let the little guy hang around outside the Gu Mansion to see if they could dig up some gossip, some of them gloated, and let people stay outside the Qiao family, waiting to see the joke.
Unlike the rumors outside, the Gu family was unusually quiet.
ushered in Old Man Gu's family, Qiao Xingbang first took the family to take a look at the newly added Ding.
Mrs. Gu is not patriarchal, looking at her attitude towards Gu Jingshu and Qiao Yixi, she knows that she likes girls very much, but she is also happy that her daughter can have a son by her side, at least, the burden in the future does not have to fall on Qiao Qiao.
"Brother is like Jing Shu, look at these eyebrows, Si Sven's character, he will definitely have a good personality in the future."
The corners of Qiao Lixi's eyes twitched.
Although it is born from the heart, it looks like Sven's personality is good?
And what about Sven scum!
Realizing that she was thinking about something wrong, Qiao Yixi blinked and stood aside obediently.
Mrs. Gu handed the child to the Yang family, sat on the edge of the bed and said to Gu Jingshu: "I see that you look good, the child is also very good, Xingbang and Qiaoqiao take good care of you." ”
Gu Jingshu said fearfully: "If it weren't for Qiaoqiao, my brother and I would ...... When I had a seizure, I happened to hear that something had happened to my mother's family, and if it weren't for Qiaoqiao, I was afraid I wouldn't have survived. ”
"Qiao Qiao is a good one," Old Madam Gu touched the top of Qiao Lixi's head and said, "This child, when we didn't know it, had grown up. Before, we were negligent, thinking that this child was introverted, plus your body is not good, the child followed the four rooms, was not raised crookedly, and deceived the people of the Qiao family, Jing Shu, you have been cultivating for several lifetimes of blessings, and you got Qiao Qiao. ”
"Yes," Gu Jingshu said in a choked voice, "Thinking about it now, I can't stop being afraid, thanks to this child's early wisdom, knowing how to forbear, knowing how to hide clumsy, otherwise ......"
"Okay, don't say these bad things," Mrs. Gu patted Gu Jingshu's hand and said, "Let's come over this time, your father means to stay for two months first, Qiaoqiao is about to go to the capital, your father and two brothers are not at ease, so come over to help arrange, and when the time comes, Pingxin and Pingjie will also follow." ”
"Will it delay the two children's schoolwork?"
Gu Pingxin and Gu Pingjie are going to school, businessmen, no matter how big the business is, they still hope to develop in their careers.
After all, without power, no matter how big the family property is, it can't be kept.
"It's also good to let the two brothers go out to see the world, in Chaotianmen, our Gu family is the only one, and a few children want the wind and the rain, but they don't know, there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people, let them go out to see and see, know the gap between the Gu family and the real powerful family, and let them have a sense of urgency." It was the Yang family who said this, and she teased Gu Jingshu's child while saying, "Besides, with a few cousins following, my mother and you can rest assured, right?" ”
Gu Jingshu nodded, "As long as I don't delay the business of a few children, I am naturally happy to see it happen." Qiaoqiao is still a child, to be honest, I don't want her to be exposed to these too early, but this child is precocious, the previous experience in Qiao's family, and now our Gu family is on the cusp again, I don't want Qiaoqiao to be just a child locked in the back house and don't understand anything. ”
Gu Jingshu looked conflicted.
Mrs. Gu comforted: "The child is not promising, you are worried, the child is too promising, you are worried, you will not have a time to stop!" ”
Gu Jingshu deliberately glanced at her, "Mother, you are also a mother, you understand my mood best." ”
Old Madam Gu hugged Qiao Lixi in her arms and smiled.
"By the way, I haven't asked my brother's name yet." Li said.
"The small name is Stone, and the big name is Qiao Pingyi." Is this named according to the generations of the Gu family?
Qiao Xingbang is treating himself as a son-in-law?
"Qiao Pingyi, that's a good name."
Gu Jingshu smiled and nodded, "Xingbang will warn this little guy every day, asking him to help Qiao Qiao with all his heart in the future, otherwise, the little guy's ass will not be saved." ”
"That's as it should be, without Qiaoqiao, how could the little guy be so alive?"
"If this kid dares to disrespect the eldest sister and defend the eldest sister, those of us who are aunts and uncles will be the first to spare him!"
"And me." Old Madam Gu added calmly.
The only sister-in-law in Qiao's family's room, he was disliked by everyone from birth.
For the two sisters-in-law, Gu Jingshu is grateful.
Such a big thing happened to the Gu family, and the two sisters-in-law did not complain at all during the whole process, and stood firmly on the side of the Gu family, and even affected their mother's family because of this. But the two sisters-in-law's mother's family did not betray the Gu family, and this affection alone is worthy of her return.
"Jing Shu, your father came this time, first, for my brother's 100-day banquet, and secondly, to ask you about your plans."
Gu Jingshu's expression was awe-inspiring.
Flower Hall.
After teasing the little grandson, Old Man Gu and his party went to the flower hall.
After chatting a few words, Old Man Gu changed his words, "What do you think of the Qiao family?" ”
Qiao Xingbang pondered for a few seconds and said: "I am not from the Qiao family, those of the Qiao family should not be mine, the ones I have worked hard for all these years should be regarded as returning the kindness of the Qiao family." With my ability, if I can fight for the Qiao family that exists, I can fight for another Gu family! ”
