Let Gu Jinzhen develop, when the time comes, he is afraid that he will not be able to move him.

No one knows why the old emperor's inner changes are so strange, but his niece is willing to sacrifice herself, what reason does he have to be timid?

It is Gu Jinzhen's blessing to be able to marry a county lord, he has no guts, and he is not qualified to refuse!

It's just that how to give this marriage is a science.

Before Gu Jinzhen got married, this marriage was the old emperor's favor to him, and now, Gu Jinzhen has become married, this marriage gift is obviously a plan, it is to take advantage of Gu Jinzhen.

Moreover, the status of the county lord of Nishang is noble, and she has been wronged as a flat wife, and this issue of division is also irritated by the old emperor.

I knew that he didn't hesitate for a moment at the beginning, and now that he wants Qiao Lixi to be a concubine, Gu Jinzhen will resist the decree whether it is out of face or dignity.

It's good to resist the will

There is a reason to resist the decree against Gu Jinzhen.

It's a pity that this holy decree is really not easy to make.

Unless you make a great contribution.

It's easy.

With Gu Jinzhen's ability, it is not so difficult to make meritorious contributions.

The Marquis of Zhenyuan is a grandson of Gu Jinzhen, and in the future, the Shen family's army will be in the hands of Gu Jinzhen, in order to help Gu Jinzhen establish his military prestige, he will create big and small opportunities, and the old emperor just needs to wait patiently.

Sycamore Pavilion.

Qiao Lixi didn't know about the various calculations outside.

The third shipment of the "North-South Currency" has arrived, and it is even rarer than the previous one.

Of course, this "rarity" is only relative to the people of the dynasty.

Because of the opening of additional branches, the supply this time is more than the previous times, and the grade is higher, but the supply for ordinary people is also sufficient, Qiao Yixi estimates that it can last for four or five months.

After all, no matter how rare things are, they can't be eaten or drunk, and after the novelty of hunting is over, they can only be used as a decoration and show off capital, and they can be taken out to show off when needed.

Ordinary people will not spend too much silver on these, and as for the nobles, their spending power is also limited, and when they reach saturation, there will be a smooth process.

Qiao Lixi is not worried, her main energy now is on the money bank under Qiao Xingbang's name.

This is a new field for Qiao Lixi, and she needs to learn and practice.

Looking at the account book, Qiao Yixi was secretly proud.

The account book sent a year ago includes the income of her shops in Jincheng, Chaotianmen and other places, and the net profit is about 200,000 taels of silver. Maybe it can't be compared with the merchants in the capital, but Qiao Lixi is very satisfied with this number.

Next, it's time to help the abuse, ah, no, it's time to stick a knife in both sides.

Qiao Lixi casually picked up the paper on the table, which listed all the properties under the name of the second prince, as well as the shops that were being destroyed by the third prince.

This time, the third prince was ruthless, and did not leave a little way back for the second prince, and the shops he started were the most profitable shops for the second prince, including the "Shu Embroidery Building".

The second prince was able to parry at first, but as time went by, the second prince was unable to do it.

Although the second prince's maternal grandfather also has help, it is a pity that it does not have much effect, and the second prince is eager for quick success, so he made some moves in private without the prince's wife, even now the prince and the prince want to help him remedy it, but he just demolished the west wall to make up the east wall.

Qiao Lixi wasn't sure how many people around the second prince helped him take care of the industry, and what position Second Master Qiao was in the middle, but judging from the current situation, Second Master Qiao was afraid that he couldn't support it.

Originally, it was a troublesome thing to be able to barely maintain the business turnover, but this month, the turnover of "Shu Xiulou" was actually a negative growth, which was a big blow to the second prince and the second master Qiao.

Putting down the list, Qiao Lixi rubbed his chin and said to Wei Nanshui: "You say, the second prince is buying horses?" ”

"It's 'preparing.'" The teacup in Wei Nan's sailor hand was already cold, and the brown tea in the cup was lifeless.

Qiao Yixi nodded, "Also, it's not easy to buy a horse, but there is a way, and it's troublesome to buy it back, you have to find a place to hide it, and you have to serve it well, you don't have absolute human and financial resources, and you can't afford it." I'm surprised, do these princes have to use such extreme means? Can't you wait for the old emperor to make a good decree to establish the crown prince, and then wait for the old emperor to die and inherit the throne logically? Why are you tossing so much? ”

Wei Nanshui chuckled, "Part of it is ambition, part of it is wariness. ”

Oh, yes.

Qiao Lixi nodded in her heart.

Ambition is aimed at the throne.

Before the crown prince was established, everyone had equal opportunities, they could all fight, and they didn't dare to have big moves, but small actions were still okay.

Make a stumbling block, make a certain brother's impression in the old emperor's heart worse, and finally be disappointed, and increase his chances of winning.

Caution is directed against brothers.

Brother and brother?

Inexistent.

Only the last person to sit in that position is the final winner, and watching them kneel in front of them is also a kind of enjoyment, that kind of superiority, just thinking about it makes people feel comfortable.

"The fight is so hot?" Qiao Yixi still couldn't understand the brain circuits of these princes.

Fights between brothers, it's nothing to fuss about, male hormones are strong, and it's understandable that there's nothing to look for.

It would be unwise to use force against the old emperor.

It's okay, but if it is defeated, it will be a catastrophe that will never be recovered, and it will be a great sin for the nine clans.

Qiao Lixi was still sighing here, and over there, Wei Nanshui suddenly smiled.

"What, I said it wrong?" Qiao Yixi humbly asked.

"Qiaoqiao, when I say 'preparation', I don't necessarily mean the second prince's 'hands-on'."

"Or maybe he was framed?" Qiao Lixi took it smoothly, and immediately understood what Wei Nanshui meant, and looked at Wei Nanshui with a somewhat strange gaze.

"The task that Jin Zhen gave you is to sow discord in a virtual and real way?"

Without waiting for Wei Nanshui to answer, Qiao Yixi changed the topic, "How long are you going to stay when you come back this time?" ”

"I'm leaving the day after tomorrow."

"So fast?" Qiao Lixi said regretfully, "I originally thought that you would come back, so we all had a good get-together and had a meal." ”

"You can eat at any time, I have some things to deal with when I come back this time, but the most important thing is to visit you." After a pause, Wei Nanshui asked hesitantly, "You...... Are you okay now? ”

Qiao Yixi blinked, "Are you worried that I will be taken care of by the Feng family, or are you worried that I won't be able to get along in the circle?" ”

Wei Nanshui smiled helplessly, "With your ability, if these two problems can't be solved, then there is nothing I can do." ”

Qiao Lixi rolled her eyes, "This is our friendship?" ”

Wei Nanshui nodded, "Otherwise?" ”

Hehe!

Qiao Yixi didn't want to speak.

was ridiculed by her like this, and the little charm in Wei Nanshui's heart disappeared, and when he spoke again, he was a little helpless, "I'm asking, are you okay in Wutong Pavilion?" Is Gu Jinzhen treating you well? ”

"You can also see that I am the boss of the 'Wutong Pavilion', and the courtyard is full of my people, so there is nothing for me to worry about. As for Jinzhen, well, he was very good to me. ”

"Really?" Wei Nanshui's eyes darkened, "He left you alone in the capital, facing a room full of demons and monsters and a circle of people eyeing you, don't you mind at all?" ”

Qiao Lixi seemed to be aware of it, and looked at Wei Nanshui's gaze a little more serious than before, "What do I have to mind?" We are husband and wife, many things have to be faced together, he has his plan, I have my plan, and we have only one purpose now. To be realistic, if Jinzhen and I want to have an easy and simple life in the future, we have to solve these thorny problems. To put it mildly, the current separation is for the future reunion. From the moment I chose to be with Jinzhen, I knew what I was going to face, and I was willing, and I didn't feel any grievances or fears. And Jin Zhen is really good to me, maybe in the eyes of outsiders, my current situation is not good, but the situation I am in now is the best situation that Jin Zhen gave me, he has done his best, and the rest depends on us working together. ”

"You're very protective of him." There was a faint bitterness on the side of the mouth, lingering.

Qiao Lixi looked at Wei Nanshui funny, "Don't worry, we are good friends, if I need help, the first thing that comes to mind is you, you will not be useless." ”

Is it?

It's just a help from friends.

Wei Nanshui knew that Qiao Yixi was already very polite when it came to this.

Suppressing the bitterness and irritability in his heart, Wei Nanshui changed the topic, "I brought back some gadgets, I don't know if you like it or not, keep it for fun, I will go out the day after tomorrow, tell me what you like, and I'll bring it back to you." ”

"Okay," Qiao Lixi nodded happily, "You pay attention to safety outside, bring more people with you, and leave dangerous things to the people below." By the way, when you come back this time, will you go back and have a look? ”

Qiao Lixi's "going back" naturally refers to the loyal and brave waiting house.

Wei Nanshui shook his head, "It's a mess in the house, what are you going to do?" ”

Since Wei Nanshui got the position of Zhongyong Hou Shizi, Xiao Zhang's family has lost his previous gentleness and virtuousness, from the initial blowing pillow wind, to the nonsense in the back, Xiao Zhang's completely subverted the impression of people in the circle on her, and even Zhongyong Hou began to wonder if the meek and decent beauty in front of him before was dropped by anyone?

Maybe he was forced to be in a hurry, in short, Xiao Zhang's is now completely broken jars, talking about the position of the prince all day long.

"Xiao Zhang's has done a lot of tricks to you, right?"

Looking at the worry in Qiao Lixi's eyes, Wei Nanshui's mood finally improved a little, "A woman, what else can she do except those dirty methods?" ”

Qiao Lixi shook her head disapprovingly, "It's better to be careful, the most poisonous woman's heart, you will never know what the woman will do when she is ruthless." You are already dangerous outside, if Xiao Zhang's people get in the way again, or join forces with the other party, it will be you who will suffer. ”

Wei Nanshui nodded happily.

Qiao Qiao is very happy about himself, so naturally he will not tell Qiao Qiao that Xiao Zhang's family does not have such a great ability, he can inquire about his whereabouts, and the people he arranged for Xiao Zhang's side are not vegetarians.
