"Third Sister ......" walked out of the East Courtyard, and Qiao Ningdai looked at Qiao Jinwen nervously.

"We'll have to find another place." Qiao Jinwen said with some regret.

Qiao Ningdai said: "Third sister, Qiao Qiao doesn't participate in the poetry meeting, we can also borrow her painting boat, this poetry meeting invited Huang Gongzi, he has a soft spot for Qiao Qiao's painting boat." ”

Qiao Jinwen wrung the handkerchief in her hand irritably, "I originally wanted to take that idiot with me to prepare for the poetry meeting, so the location was naturally chosen on the painting boat, who knew that this idiot suddenly opened up." Trade? Oh, doing business is fake, but being around a man is real, right? We can borrow the boat, but ......"

She couldn't swallow it.

What she wanted, it was always sent to her by Qiao Lixi herself, she didn't need to speak, Qiao Lixi's attitude had to be respectful!

Now if she asks her to borrow something from Qiao Lixi, she is a head shorter than her, and she can't accept it.

"What does the third sister mean......"

Qiao Jinwen glanced at Qiao Ningdai and said self-deprecatingly: "What can I mean, the painting boat belongs to Qiao Qiao, so naturally I borrowed it from her, and we will ask her later." ”

Anyway, it won't be now, there are so many people in the East Courtyard now, and it would be a shame for her to go!

Sighing, Qiao Ningdai pretended to be casual and said: "That Gu Gongzi is really, I can't see through him more and more now, third sister, you say, will he ...... Qiao Qiao?"

looked at Qiao Jinwen without saying anything.

Qiao Jinwen snorted coldly, "Is the fake show really done?" I wonder what he liked about that idiot? In vain, I thought he was from the capital, and his vision was different from others, but it turned out to be ......"

"That third sister, ...... you" Qiao Ningdai quietly fanned the flames.

Qiao Jinwen glanced at her in surprise.

Qiao Ningdai lowered her eyebrows unnaturally.

"Old Five, you are very smart, but it's a pity that your cleverness is not used in the right place."

"Third sister......" Qiao Ningdai panicked.

"I'm at odds with the idiot, so you don't have to sow discord and use me as a gunman."

"Third sister, I didn't."

"Do you know that the South Courtyard is now locked up by your grandmother, and the reason why you haven't been grounded is because of me, so you should think about how to please me, not how to use me as a gunman. You are very smart, I am not stupid, our sisters are just a mutually beneficial relationship, while you can still follow me outside now, plan for yourself as soon as possible, you are really going to be locked up in the South Courtyard, when the time comes, grandmother will choose someone to marry you out, and you are just a tool for the Qiao family to marry. ”

This is not an exaggeration at all, both of them are twelve or thirteen years old, and it is the time to see each other, Nanyuan is now locked up to death, not Qiao Jinwen, and Qiao Ningdai has no chance to come out.

Qiao Ningdai is also very anxious now, no one has to help her, and she has to rely on herself for everything, so she is also black-eyed.

"Third sister, you misunderstood, I really think about you." Qiao Ningdai hurriedly said, "I just can't get used to seeing that idiot showing off her power now, as if we are begging her." ”

This said to Qiao Jinwen's heart, but no matter how angry she was in her heart, she still had to maintain a cold look on her face, "It's just because the Jin family and the Zhong family have different attitudes towards her, and she has a subchapter in her hand." Okay, you go and prepare for the poetry meeting, arrange everything else first, and later, we'll borrow the painting boat. ”

All the way to the north courtyard, Qiao Jinwen maintained a dignified demeanor, until she returned to her small courtyard and entered the east room, she waved her hand angrily and swept down the teapot on the table.

"Miss?" When Mama Xue heard the voice, she hurried in and saw the mess in the place.

Qiao Jinwen was already sitting on the chair and was taking the handkerchief handed by the maid to wipe her hands.

She knows how to maintain her image, and after venting her anger, she is still the dignified eldest lady of the Qiao family.

"Clean up." Qiao Jinwen said to the maid beside her.

"Miss, have you been wronged in the East Courtyard?" Mama Xue is Xue Tao's dowry grandmother, and she is also the eldest grandmother next to Qiao Jinwen, her status is not ordinary in the North Courtyard, and she talks to Qiao Jinwen casually.

"Just an idiot, what's there to worry about."

"If Miss can think so, the old slave will be relieved." took the handkerchief from Qiao Jinwen's hand and put it on the table, "The people in the long room are not afraid at all, relying on the Qiao family's industry to have a little status in Jincheng." The master's vision is never as short as the long house, and the Qiao family's industry looks rich, so it depends on who he compares with. Those in the long house, when they get to the capital, are just the most ordinary people. The lord is now cooperating with nobles, and when the time comes, whether it is identity or status...... As long as the young lady is angry, the people in the long room will not have to kneel in front of the young lady at that time. ”

"The eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, and Mama is exaggerating." Qiao Jinwen said modestly.

"Miss can't be presumptuous," Mama Xue said as a matter of course, "Miss has been learning etiquette from the grandmother in the palace since she was a child, and her appearance and demeanor are top-notch. The old slave said something arrogant, even those young ladies from the family in the capital may not be able to compare with the young lady. ”

"It's different," Qiao Jinwen said, "what is the capital?" It is a place where dignitaries gather, not to mention anything else, that is, their vision is higher than ours, and they are more far-reaching than us. ”

Mama Xue didn't care, "Miss, our Qiao family is not bad, what good things haven't you seen?" According to the old slave, those Beijing officials don't necessarily have more knowledge than the old man and the young lady. If nothing else, let's just say that set of red coral head noodles, how many people have seen it? So, Miss, compared to them, our Qiao family is just a little worse in status, and the rest, we are not necessarily worse than them. ”

In order to cultivate Qiao Jinwen, Xue Tao really made a lot of money, and in order to cultivate her bearing, she tried her best to get a lot of good things and broaden her horizons. Especially from Qiao Lixi, even the official ladies in the capital may not have seen it, so Mama Xue dared to say so.

"If you really want to say that, the one in the long house is not bad, I haven't seen anything good." Qiao Jinwen complained.

Mama Xue hurriedly comforted: "Miss, you have a lot of knowledge, and you have to rely on your understanding. The one in the East Courtyard doesn't have such a good talent. Master and Madame, what is planned for you and the young master is naturally the best. ”

"That's, it's just that there has been no progress on my father's side, Wang Min has seen the third prince several times, I heard that the two of them were still drinking tea in the teahouse last time, but I ......" Qiao Jinwen was unwilling.

In terms of appearance, she is definitely above Wang Min, if Wang Min is not because of her family background, she is not as good as a small jasper.

In terms of bearing, she was cultivated by her grandmother and mother as a housewife since she was a child, but the kind of family, how can she be compared to a businessman.

In terms of means, she was personally taught by her grandmother and mother, whether she was in charge of the family or helping men, Wang Min was not her opponent.

The only thing that can give Wang Min an advantage is the Wang family's pawnshop.

Wang Qi is the eldest son of the Wang family, so the pawnshop of the Wang family is in the hands of Wang Qi.

Wang Qi does have the ability, and by chance he started a business with the people in the palace, step by step, into the eyes of the nobles, and joined the name of the three princes.

Although the Qiao family's four rooms also have their own industry, that little income can only barely maintain the private expenses of the four rooms, and they can't afford to toss the wind and waves at all.

This is the only place where she lost to Wang Min, and because of this, her father has not been able to enter the eyes of the third prince. After all, the three princes are going to do great things, they need talents, and they also need money. Unless they can provide more financial resources than the Wang family, they can replace the Wang family in front of the three princes.

"Father is out again today?"

"Miss Hui, the master went out early in the morning, and said that he would not come back until after dinner."

"Isn't there any progress on my father's side?" It's not that she's anxious, but the three princes have been here for half a month, and I heard that they are about to return to Beijing, if they haven't been approved by the three princes, then ......

The reason why she asked Mama Xue was because Mama Xue had a very high status in the North Courtyard and was the most trustworthy person around her mother. This kind of thing, instead of asking her mother, it is better to ask Mama Xue.

Sure enough, Mama Xue immediately said: "Miss, this kind of thing can't be rushed, how can we guess the thoughts of the nobles." We don't know the situation in the court, and what we know is spread from the outside, and it is what the superiors want us to know, and we don't know what the truth is. The nobleman has the thoughts and concerns of the nobleman, but the old slave thinks that since the nobleman has found the master, it is naturally thoughtful, not a hasty decision, then it is only a matter of timing. The noble man does not express his position now, probably because he has stumbled on something else. In addition, the Qiao family has just experienced a robbery, what the nobles need now is to keep a low profile, since the nobles have chosen the master, how can they easily change their attitudes? Miss, you can rest assured. ”

I have to say that Mama Xue is indeed knowledgeable, and her words were analyzed very thoroughly, Qiao Jinwen was a little relieved, but she complained about Qiao Linzi.

If it weren't for her aunt, the Qiao family would not be on the cusp now, and her father would not be in a hurry, everything was not going well, and she was also very irritable.

……

Wang's Annex.

Fourth Master Qiao stood in the flower hall nervously.

He came cheekily a few times, and now he finally saw the third prince, and now he can't say a word about what he thought about before, the pressure of the third prince is too sharp, he can't open his mouth at all, and now standing here, he is even more helpless.

"Fourth Master Qiao."

"Your Highness." With just two words, a cold sweat broke out in Qiao Siye's head.

Duanmu Qing didn't even give Qiao Siye a look, Wang De, who was beside him, took over the master's words and said, "Qiao Siye, is there something wrong?" ”

Fourth Master Qiao was terrified, he had left Wang Qi alone these few times, so he naturally had his own careful thoughts, but in front of the third prince, he didn't know how to say it tactfully.

At this time, Fourth Master Qiao knew his own shortcomings.

In the past, on the outside, he was the object of others' clinging, and outsiders had to look at his face, but in front of the real nobles, he was still a little immature.
