Chapter 51 Zhuangzi

"No matter how good it is, it's also the Gu family, what's there to show off." I don't know who said it.

"It's Qiao Qiao's," Qiao Jinwen said meaninglessly, "It's just that our family has no place to put it, so we can't get a pier on the edge of the Jinjiang River for a painting boat, right?" So the painting boat has always been placed in the Gu family. ”

In this regard, Qiao Lixi said that she was not impressed at all!

The Gu family and the Qiao family have basically not moved around over the years, and Gu Jingshu has never returned to her parents' house, but, judging from Gu Jingshu's words, her grandfather's family should like her very much, but for some reason, the two families move around less.

Fortunately, this year, Gu Jingshu let go, just waiting for Qiao Xingbang to arrange the affairs properly, and the family returned to western Sichuan for the New Year.

"Jojo, when are you going to get your painting boat out to play." Wang Min had the intention of competing with Qiao Yixi.

Originally, when it came to the painting boat, the first thing that came to everyone's mind was the Wang family's painting boat, Wang Min was used to this honor, and now, coldly, he was robbed of the limelight by a little-known person, how could he be willing?

Isn't he just a little-known person!

In the eyes of everyone, Qiao Lixi is Qiao Jinwen's follower, and she is the dispensable existence of the Qiao family, why did she rob them of their scenery?

Isn't there a Gu family that is the first tyrant in western Sichuan?

But so what?

Grandfather's house only!

If you really want to treat Qiao Yixi as a treasure, you won't ignore it all these years, as for the painting boat that is more luxurious than the Wang family......

Qiao Lixi's?

Not to mention getting on the boat, I guess she hasn't even touched the boat, right?

She really dares to blow it!

Gu Jinzhen watched coldly at the interaction between this group of little kids.

It's not worth it for Qiao Jinwen in my heart!

Such a sister, what is there to maintain?

Qiao Lixi said innocently: "I don't remember such a painting boat myself, but the third sister knows better than me." ”

Qiao Jinwen said disapprerovingly: "That's because you're still young, so you don't remember." I also heard my grandmother mention it once, a few years ago, or when the housekeeper of your grandfather's family gave New Year's gifts, I mentioned it in passing, but we have not seen the true face of Lushan on that painting boat. Jojo, when are you going to feast our eyes? ”

Qiao Yixi put on a small face and said, "If the third sister is not mistaken, Qiao Qiao really has such a painting boat, and there will be a chance in the future." ”

"Then we'll just wait." Not to be outdone, Wang Min took over the conversation.

The painting boat of the Wang family is indeed luxurious, the design is exquisite, and the authentic works of a certain master of the previous dynasty seem to be hanging on the wall at random.

With more elegance, the people on the boat also got up casually.

Everyone is studying in the school, except for a few children who have high hopes in Bailu Academy, the others are all studying in the Qiao family, and some people propose to write poems.

This kind of thing, Qiao Yixi has never been involved, eating melon seeds, and continuing to be a melon-eating crowd.

It's just that she has a low-key heart, and she doesn't necessarily want others to let her stay out of the matter.

Two teenagers walked beside him.

Qiao Lixi felt that she seemed to know these two people, but she couldn't name them, and soon Qiao Jinwen came to solve her puzzles.

"Qiaoqiao, why didn't you say hello when you saw your cousin?"

Qiao Yi blinked.

Li Jue and Li Rui didn't care about Qiao Lixi's attitude, anyway, in their eyes, Qiao Lixi never existed.

It's just that today's situation is special, and in front of outsiders, the people of the Qiao family are still very united.

Li Jue took the initiative to say: "It is estimated that Qiao Qiao didn't recognize it." ”

Qiao Jinwen covered her mouth and snickered, "Qiao Qiao is confused again, and when there are many people, I can't recognize them all." ”

seems to be starting for Qiao Lixi, but the meaning in and out of the words is not that Qiao Lixi is stupid, and he can't even recognize people.

Communicating outside the world, recognizing people is the most basic, especially businessmen, relying on connections!

Not to mention remembering their names clearly, and even remembering their faces, how can Qiao Yixi mix in the market in the future?

Qiao Yixi blinked, "Don't the two cousins participate in the poetry competition?" I've heard that there are lottery heads. ”

Li Jue and Li Rui both studied at Bailu Academy with Qiao Yi, and it is said that they both took this year's exam.

Speaking of this, Qiao Lixi couldn't help but feel a little strange.

According to the history textbook, it was already time to release the list, but there was no sign here, or did some of the customs here be different from what she learned?

Retracting his scattered thoughts, Li Ruichun's proud voice was in his ears, "Qiaoqiao is waiting for the good news of the second cousin, but he is a child, and the second cousin is still sure of this." ”

Qiao Lixi pouted.

"Gu Gongzi?" Qiao Ningdai called softly, as if unintentionally standing in the direction of Gu Jinzhen, following his gaze.

A few bunches of people were talking about something with great interest, not knowing who his eyes were on.

Qiao Ningdai vaguely remembered the names of several people, and when she looked at Gu Jinzhen, she had a bright smile on her face.

Gu Jinzhen quietly withdrew his gaze, glanced at Qiao Yixi, took half a step back, and opened the distance between him and Qiao Ningdai.

"Gu Gongzi is Zhong Gongzi's cousin, why didn't he move around so often before?"

Gu Jinzhen looked at the teacup in his hand intently, ignoring Qiao Ningdai's words.

Qiao Ningdai maintained an embarrassed smile on her face and stood cramped in place.

Qiao Yi glanced at Qiao Jinwen, and Qiao Jinwen walked over unhappily.

Gu Sheng looks good, and his identity background is also top-notch, but unfortunately, he is just a businessman, if he is the son of an official family, it will not be Qiao Ningdai's turn to be courteous in front of him.

Women are already sensitive.

Qiao Jinwen always knew that Gu Sheng's gaze drifted over her from time to time.

Since she was sensible, she had enjoyed such a gaze, even if Gu Sheng was from the capital, she couldn't resist her charm.

In Jincheng, her fame and character, her appearance, are all the envy of everyone!

Qiao Ningdai also dared to scratch her head in front of her.

It's just a man she can't look down on, otherwise, where would it be Qiao Ningdai's turn?

was slandered in her heart, but Qiao Jinwen had a decent smile on her face.

Anyway, Gu Sheng is a horse merchant from the capital, and he also has a relationship with the Marquis of Zhenyuan, which is worth putting down her body.

"Gu Gongzi, I'm waiting for you." Qiao Jinwen made a "please" gesture.

Over there, the teenagers who are eager to express themselves have already prepared the poems and are just waiting for everyone to taste them.

Qiao Yixi looked at the poems that were hung up with great interest.

"Jojo understands, too?" Qiao Jinwen still looks like a good sister in front of outsiders.

Qiao Yixi shook her head, "I don't know a few words, how can I understand poetry." ”

Qiao Jinwen comforted: "That's because you are enlightened, there will be opportunities in the future, the children of the Qiao family, don't say that you have to write and write, but you still have to be able to read and write, and you must also be able to read simple accounts, not to mention anything else, that is, to take care of your own dowry shop in the future, so as not to be deceived by outsiders." ”

Qiao Yixi nodded as if she didn't understand.

originally thought that there would be a problem at this party, Qiao Lixi came with a "learning" mentality, but until she got off the boat with a full meal and wine, no accidents happened.

The black jacket is also very sensible, and it didn't hurt her appetite.

This made Qiao Yixi very satisfied.

Because the east courtyard was to be renovated, Qiao Xingbang simply took the long house to live in Zhuangzi in the suburbs.

Approaching Laba, according to the convention, the Qiao family has to organize soup kitchens with other merchants, and every year the Qiao family is the initiator and organizer. The target of soup soup is not limited to the homeless or poor people, even ordinary people can also go to the porridge shed to receive a bowl of laba porridge.

Xue Tao was keen on this kind of thing to earn face and reputation, and actively prepared for it very early.

When the people of the eastern courtyard sat in a carriage and arrived at Zhuangzi, the steward's family was already waiting there.

Liu Ming's family is Gu Jingshu's companion, responsible for the affairs of the four Zhuangzi under Gu Jingshu's name, which seems to be heavy, but in fact, as long as the work is arranged. The fields on the Zhuangzi are cultivated by tenants, and the rent will be collected when the time comes, and the four Zhuangzi are not far apart, and there are two hills in between, which are also under the name of Gu Jingshu, in addition, plus the fish and shrimp produced in the pond, lotus root, etc., Gu Jingshu's Zhuangzi is not only responsible for the chewing of the Qiao family's whole house for the next year, but the excess grain is either stored or exchanged for silver for the Qiao family's expenses.

The four Zhuangzi under Gu Jingshu's name occupy a wide area and have an excellent location, which not only makes the concubines red, but also the women in the market are very envious.

It's good to have a money-making Zhuangzi, Gu Jingshu still has four in one go, and Qiao's family has only one daughter, Qiao Lixi, and won't all of them be Qiao Lixi's in the future?

Therefore, it's not that no one has beaten Qiao Lixi's idea, it's just that every time Xue Tao takes her out, this kid is stupid, and many people stop thinking.

Of course, for the sake of Qiao Lixi's future dowry, there are also people who don't dislike her for being stupid, a fool is good, and it is better to handle it, but unfortunately Qiao Lixi's gloomy temperament scared the remaining half back, and no one cared about it.

Many people regret it, but it's a pity that Qiao Xingbang's shrewd mind and sharp means have cheapened the other rooms of Qiao's family.

The rumors outside did not affect Gu Jingshu and Qiao Xingbang in the slightest, how to make money, and how to make money.

"Sir, Madame, Miss." As soon as Liu Ming's family saw the carriage of the Qiao family, they greeted him.

Qiao Lixi was carried out of the carriage by Qiao Xingbang, and before she could stand firmly, her little head was looking around.

Liu Mingjia quipped: "Miss, Zhuangzi is not big, it is surrounded by rented farmland, and when you settle down, the slave maid will let the magpie take you around, the air on Zhuangzi is fresh, and there are many interesting things to pass the time." ”

On the side, a teenage girl smiled shyly at Qiao Yixi, and the rules were blessed, "Miss, the slave maid is called Magpie, and she is the youngest daughter of Steward Liu." The slave has two older brothers, and they are running errands in the town today. ”

Although he works in Zhuangzi, the rules of Liu Ming's family are very good, and they should have been specially learned.

Qiao Yixi nodded, took Qiao Xingbang's hand, and the group entered Zhuangzi.

Knowing that the master was going to come to live for a while, Zhuangzi renovated it a little and renovated the inner courtyard where the masters were going to live.
