Qiao Lixi raised her eyebrows.

Qiao Ningdai said embarrassedly: "Second Highness is good to Fifth Sister, and you are my sister, if you really need help, Second Highness will not stand idly by." The heavens and the earth are big, and they can't be as big as the king's law! ”

With some righteous and stern words, the second prince was naturally pushed out.

Qiao Lixi smiled slightly, "Aunt Dai has a heart." ”

"You're my sister, why are you so polite? By the way, Qiaoqiao, what do you think about the Feng family? ”

Qiao Yixi looked at Qiao Ningdai inexplicably.

Qiao Ningdai hated the iron and said with hatred: "That's more than a million taels of silver, you have to have a charter - how do you want the Feng family to pay it back, how much do you pay back every year, if she can't take it out, how can you deal with it." ”

After saying it in one breath, Qiao Ningdai gasped, as if she was the one who lost the silver.

Qiao Yixi tilted her head and said: "This silver, I said before, all of it will be paid to the Shen family's army, how can the Feng family pay it back, how can I use it, how much she will pay, how much grain and grass I buy and send to southern Xinjiang, and the surplus will be used to buy weapons, medicinal materials, clothes, etc. for the soldiers." The Feng family is so face-saving, if you really want to embarrass me on this, you will ignore the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers at the border in vain, and when the saint has not yet expressed her position, the people of the imperial dynasty will not let her go. Moreover, the situation of the Hou Mansion, I also know that the Feng family really can't take much this time, and I will arrange it when the time comes. ”

"You!" Qiao Ningdai pointed to Qiao Lixi's nose and said helplessly, "It's just that you have a big heart, fortunately, the uncle and aunt are by your side, if there is really anything, they will also come forward, you really don't have anything to worry about." By the way, Jojo, what's next for you? ”

"What's going on?"

Qiao Ningdai deliberately rolled her eyes, and said in an affectionate tone: "You are now the grandmother Gu of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, the main mother of the 'Wutong Pavilion', your dowry shop and Zhuangzi are so much, haven't you thought about doing something?" ”

"Do I need to do anything?" Qiao Lixi asked funny, "My shop and Zhuangzi are taken care of, the shops and Zhuangzi that I helped my master take back, and those that are rented out will continue to be rented, I just collect the rent, do I need to do anything?" ”

Qiao Ningdai said disapprovingly: "It's not good for you to sit and eat like this, our Qiao family is a merchant family, how can there be a reason to eat rent." ”

"I bought the shop with silver, and buying a shop is also a kind of skill."

So, what's wrong with eating rent?

Qiao Ningdai was kind and seductive: "Renting a shop, how can you make money by doing your own business, the rent also changes every year, and the rent is high, but what if the shop can't be rented, or when the rent is low." ”

"To be honest, I really haven't encountered a situation where the shop can't be rented, the tenant is really going bankrupt, and there are other tenants waiting to rent the shop. You also said that there are good and bad businesses, I do my own business, and I have to take risks, I rent the shop to others, and I can collect the rent with peace of mind, there is nothing I need to worry about. It doesn't matter to me whether the tenant's business is good or not, and the silver in my hand will not be a few taels more because his business is good, nor will he be a few taels less because his business is bad. Even if my shop can't be rented, I won't lose anything, the shop is still the property in my hands, I don't make money or lose money, I don't know what Aunt Dai is worried about? ”

Qiao Ningdai's words were all said for this part, and Qiao Lixi naturally understood what she meant.

It's funny, she has the silver now, and these people are all pasted up.

"You, you are too well protected by your uncle and aunt, and you don't know the difficulties of being in charge."

Qiao Yixi blinked, "What's the difficulty?" To tell the truth, since I was a child, I really haven't lacked silver, that is, I have now entered the Hou Mansion, and my dowry is enough for me to eat for a lifetime, not to mention, the lord handed over all the properties in his name to me, and the 'Wutong Pavilion' is really not short of money. Now that I have got my mother-in-law's dowry back, there is nothing for me to worry about, and I really want to do nothing but wait for the rent to be collected. ”

Qiao Yixi's words made Qiao Ningdai feel very uncomfortable.

As Qiao's family, he only thinks about collecting rent, and doesn't think about doing some business, which really insults the name of the Qiao family's "merchant family"!

Thinking about it, Qiao Xingbang is a wild seed with unknown parents, and he has nothing to do with the Qiao family, how can Qiao Yixi have the character of the Qiao family?

If it weren't for Qiao Xingbang and the Gu family, Qiao Lixi would only be able to sit and eat!

Thinking of the purpose of asking Qiao Lixi out today, Qiao Ningdai gritted her teeth and said, "Qiaoqiao, I can't hide it, the fifth sister asked you out today because she had something to discuss with you." ”

Qiao Lixi looked at her with great interest.

"You also know that the fifth sister is just the concubine of the second highness, although she is favored by her highness, she is inferior in identity after all. Therefore, I want to take advantage of the fact that His Royal Highness has not yet married the concubine to find a way out for myself. ”

"What does Aunt Dai want to do?" Qiao Yixi asked.

Qiao Ningdai said: "The fifth sister wants to do business. ”

"Oh?" Qiao Yixi raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, "As far as I know, hasn't the second uncle been helping His Highness do business all along?" The business of 'Shu Embroidery Building' has made many people red. ”

"That was the past, and you can see the situation now, and besides, my father helps His Highness in business, and those are all His Highness. I want to start my own business, which is also a guarantee for my future. ”

"So, what does Aunt Dai mean?"

"It would be great if the two sisters could work together."

"Really? What kind of business does Aunt Dai want to do? ”

Seeing that Qiao Yixi seemed to be a little more interested, Qiao Ningdai's face also flashed with excitement, "Qiaoqiao, that's the case, I want to open a jewelry store." ”

"A jewelry store?"

"Yes, Qiaoqiao, you have also seen that the people in the capital, whether they are official ladies or ordinary people, like to buy some jewelry, not just for dowry, but also for ordinary dress, people in the capital like to wear gold and silver. I've thought about it, my jewelry store doesn't need to sell much noble noodles, just for ordinary people. ”

The grade is too high, the capital is invested, she doesn't have so much silver, and she doesn't have strong capital, so she simply targets the general population. Don't underestimate the ability of the people, even if it is a dozen taels of silver gadgets, you buy a little, I buy a little, the amount is large, and the income is more.

"Why did Aunt Dai suddenly become interested in jewelry stores? The property under the name of His Royal Highness, I remember, seems to have a jewelry store, right? ”

"Didn't I want to make some money, Qiaoqiao, you also know that the concubine is different from the main mother. I just want to have more capital to stand up before the main mother enters the door. ”

"Second Highness is getting married?" Qiao Lixi said in response.

Qiao Ningdai shook her head, "How is it possible, I'm just taking precautions." ”

"Aunt Dai has this heart, and I naturally support it, but I am not interested in jewelry stores. Aunt Dai don't say anything, I'll give some of the silver, and I'll leave the rest to you. Since we are sisters, I will naturally not take advantage of you. If you need the principal, you can borrow it from the bank, and I can't help with anything else, which is still okay. You also know that my father opened a bank, and if you need it, I can reduce the interest. ”

"Qiaoqiao, are you not in the oil and salt?" Qiao Ningdai's face changed instantly.

It's not that she's capricious, it's really Qiao Yixi who is too annoying.

Since the meeting today, Qiao Lixi has been yin and yang, either scolding her, or answering the wrong question, isn't she worried that she will ask her for silver?

Heh, but more than one million taels of silver, Qiao Lixi really thought that she was amazing, those silver were Gu Jinzhen's, and she had nothing to do with half of the copper plate, where did she come from to be proud.

But......

Qiao Ningdai's eyes flashed slightly.

She didn't expect that Gu Jinzhen not only handed over the property under her name to Qiao Yixi to take care of, but even Shen Yuan's dowry was also handed over to her.

Shen Yuan's original ten-mile red makeup, although she had never seen it, she had heard people in the capital talk about it.

In the past ten years, the two most beautiful people in the capital, one is Shen Yuan and the other is Qiao Lixi.

The pomp and circumstance of the two getting married, not only in the capital, but also in the entire dynasty, is one of the best, and there is no one before or since.

Shen Yuan is a little better, because of the low-key nature of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, there are not many things on the surface, but the things are excellent, and many of them are treasures that money can't buy. Those few dowry shops and Zhuangzi are also the best in the capital, and the Marquis of Zhenyuan almost hollowed out the Hou Mansion for Shen Yuan.

These were all saved by the Marquis of Zhenyuan with military exploits, otherwise, the red-eyed people would have impeached the Marquis of Zhenyuan in the court.

When it comes to Qiao Lixi, it is even more exaggerated.

If you don't dare to surpass the princess and the county lord in terms of specifications, then work the grade.

There is a grandfather's family of the first tyrant in western Sichuan, what good things can't be obtained?

The painting boat docked at the pier is more expensive than the boat in the palace, which makes many people envious.

Coupled with the spoils that Gu Jinzhen has collected over the years, it can be said that the officials of the dynasty who are not bad for money are the Marquis of Zhenyuan and Gu Jinzhen. Don't look at the fact that the Marquis of Zhenyuan doesn't have any property in the capital, that is why people don't need it at all, just the loot collected is enough to make them envious, jealous and hateful.

Thinking a little far, Qiao Ningdai retracted her sluggish emotions.

"Aunt Dai, it is your love and my willingness to do business, since it is cooperation, it is even more wishful thinking, you think this business is good, you want to do it, I support it, but I don't want to, you can't force me, right? What does it mean that oil and salt do not enter? Co-author, what do you want to do, to pull me, I have to follow you, right? It's really weird, you're not doing business in partnership, you want me to be wronged, right? ”

"Qiaoqiao, you misunderstood what the fifth sister meant, I ......" Qiao Ningdai hurriedly remedied.

But Qiao Yixi didn't have the heart to continue to whirlwind, "I've drunk the tea today, and I've talked about it, so I'll leave." I still say the same thing, if Aunt Dai wants to do business and lacks capital, she can find a money bank, and I can let a little bit of interest, and I can't help with the rest. ”

Looking at Qiao Yixi's back, Qiao Ningdai's bloodthirsty eyes were scarlet.

Banks?

There are some things that she may be able to plan, but she doesn't necessarily have to rely on Qiao Yixi!
