However, the temptation of her father's conditions was too great, and she was really afraid that she would not be able to control it.

This night, Xia Ziyan almost didn't fall asleep, facing the candle at the bedside, and she was always entangled in the stakes.

When she woke up the next morning, her eyes were dark and she looked like she hadn't slept well.

Qiao You brought her a decoction, and when she saw Xia Ziyan, who had a somewhat sallow face, she immediately walked over and said worriedly, "Why is your face so bad?" As he spoke, he reached out and probed Xia Ziyan's forehead.

I don't have a fever either.

Why is your face so strange?

Seeing Qiao You coming, Xia Ziyan's eyes were a little evasive, and she shook her head in a daze.

Qiao You just looked at her like this, saw her look stunned, looked in a trance, just felt bad, and got up to find a doctor.

Xia Ziyan spoke up at this time.

"No, no discomfort, I just didn't sleep all night."

Hearing this, Qiao You turned his head and looked at her suspiciously: "What's the matter, what can keep you awake all night." As he spoke, Qiao You suddenly thought that when Xia Ziyan came back yesterday, her face was very bad, and her eyes became sharp, "But what happened?" ”

Xia Ziyan shook her head and didn't speak.

There was silence in the room again.

After another struggle, she sighed, let go of her clenched hands, looked up at Qiao You, and told her what happened yesterday.

Yesterday afternoon, when Qiao You went back to his yard to get something, Xia Ziyan was called down by a guy downstairs, saying that someone was looking for him?

She went, and it was Xia Yusheng who paid her to bring her a message and asked her to go to the teahouse not far away to talk about something.

Xia Ziyan didn't want to go, but the messenger said again: "It's about Qiao You's family, if she doesn't go, her good friend will be in danger." ”

That's when she went.

When she arrived at the teahouse, Xia Ziyan looked at her father, who she hadn't seen for a long time, and only felt more and more strange.

She is not stupid, even if she does not have a shrewd and sharp mind like Qiao You and Xia Zishu, she can also see that her father, the eyes of her eyes are becoming more and more indifferent.

It's like, looking at a subordinate who is not related by blood, there is just some place to use.

Xia Ziyan asked Xia Yusheng, why did the messenger say that the Qiao family would be in danger,

"It's just a lie."

Xia Yusheng is a calculating businessman, so he naturally knows what to use.

Xia Ziyan didn't expect him to lie to herself, so she was about to turn around and leave, but Xia Yusheng said something she had been dreaming about for seven or eight years.

He said that he could let himself marry Yuan Ziyi.

At that moment, Xia Ziyan hesitated, she looked back at her father, but listened to his unhurried words.

"How about you help me eradicate Qiao You, get the Heavenly Moon and the recipe for all her recipes, and I can let you marry your cousin, how about it?"

He looked at Xia Ziyan, not with a father's attitude of considering his daughter's lifelong affairs, but for his own interests and ambitions.

Xia Ziyan wanted to refuse, but sitting on the stool, she hesitated and didn't leave.

Xia Yusheng had known this for a long time, so he risked letting Qiao You know and asked Xia Ziyan to help her complete this matter.

"As a father, I know that you like your cousin, and now that you are also the age of Jilu, it is time to get married." Xia Yusheng said in a high-sounding voice.

She sat in front of Xia Zisheng and listened, knowing that Xia Yuansheng was to take advantage of it, Xia Ziyan did not leave after all.

After a long time, she slowly replied with a "good" word.

I don't know if it's to help Qiao You spy on the information in Xia Yuansheng's mouth, or for the promise made by Xia Yuansheng's father.

Xia Sheng expected that she would agree, and was not surprised, but just told his plan.

"Xie Mingxiu, you, my father actually knows Xie Mingxiu?" Hearing Xie Mingxiu's name from Xia Yusheng's mouth, Xia Ziyan reacted immediately, and there was a little eagerness in her mouth.

Xia Yusheng nodded: "Yes, I only met recently, I heard that he likes Qiao You's sister, as for the rest, you don't have to know, as long as you know that you must help Qiao Ying and Xie Mingxiu meet, understand?" ”

"Meet?" She was puzzled in her heart, she only felt that Xia Yusheng had bad intentions, and Xie Mingxiu was in collusion with her father, but she was afraid that he was not a good person. "Why meet?"

Listening to Xia Ziyan's questioning, Xia Yusheng's face sank, and he scolded: "You don't need to know this, what are you doing with so many questions?" When the time comes, it will be arranged in the courtyard near the suburbs of the west of the city, and Xie Mingxiu will come to pick up people. ”

"Ah, yes, I see." She hastily agreed.

Subsequently, Xia Yusheng also reprimanded her for introducing Xie Suran to Qiao You, and it didn't take long for her to come back.

Hearing these words, Qiao You suddenly realized, it turned out that Xia Ziyan was not giving up yesterday for this reason.

"Thank you." She looked at Xia Ziyan and thanked her heartily.

She likes Yuan Ziyi's things, and Qiao You is not unaware that she can abandon such a temptation to tell him about the collusion between Xia Yusheng and Xie Mingxiu.

Qiao You only felt that befriending Xia Ziyan was an absolutely correct choice.

was born to become Xia Lisheng's daughter, which was really Xia Ziyan's misfortune.

Xia Ziyan lowered her head a little embarrassed, in fact, if she hesitated, fortunately, she said it.

Xia Ziyan felt a sense of relief in her heart.

"If you are like this, just treat it as if I don't know anything, we will take it into account, you take Qiao Ying out to meet Xie Mingxiu, I will take a few people to guard where, I want to see what the hell Xie Mingxiu and Xia Yusheng are doing."

When the time comes, let Qiao Ying's little girl know what kind of shameless villain the man she likes is.

Xia Ziyan agreed, probably to say something heavy. She felt much better, and went straight to sleep in the house, and did not get up until evening.

Qiao Ying didn't go to the private school for the past two days because of Qiao You, and Qiao Youfu also helped out in the restaurant and started to do the work of a buddy.

Yuzi and those people are naturally not good for Qiao Youfu to work, they are all rushing to work, Qiao You doesn't stop him, anyway, he was born in the village, his father is busy, once he stops, I'm afraid it's really hard to adapt.

As for the vegetable field in the village, he also asked Yuzi to hire someone to clean up the land.

However, for the sake of the future development of the restaurant, she has decided to buy all the land in their village.

Hundreds of acres of land, still at the foot of the mountain, not only the land is fertile, but also near the water, very convenient, the important thing is that the village is not far from the north of the city, but most of the time to arrive.

In the past, they had to drive from the village to their yard in the east of the city for more than an hour every day.

Yuzi listened to Qiao You's words beside him, holding an abacus and calculating all the way, a good land like Qiaojia Village costs at least eight taels of silver per acre, and some of this family have four or five acres of land, and some have seven or eight acres of land.

There are more than 60 households in Qiaojia Village, at least more than 300 acres of land, and they have not been measured on the spot.

Even if it costs at least, it will cost 2,400 taels, and the business of their restaurant is good, but to buy land, plus hiring people to reclaim it, it will cost 3,000 taels of silver.

"Boss, what do you think of this?"

Yuzi showed Qiao You the final result on the abacus.

In her previous life, Qiao You, as the president of Qiao's Group, had learned abacus when she began to learn accounting calculations, and she naturally understood it.

"No, we have to count the highest price, not the lowest."

Yuzi had no choice but to calculate again at the highest price of twelve taels of silver per acre of land, and it was calculated based on eight acres of land per household.

About sixty households, that is, more than five thousand seven hundred taels of silver.

It has only been more than 20 days since the opening of their restaurant, and although business is booming every day, it is not like they can earn 800 taels of silver a day on the opening day.

In the past 20 days, there have been fewer and fewer guests, but now it is quite stable, and I can earn four or five hundred taels of silver every day.

"You go and talk to me about these things in Qiaojia Village, or I think you can inquire about it first, if they think the price is a little low, they can increase the price."

As soon as Yuzi heard this, his face drooped: "Boss, the price is still increased, the highest is twelve taels, this is the highest price of one acre of land in Yecheng, and if you add it, it is not worth it." ”

Qiao You glanced back at her with a warning look on his face.

Yuzi immediately stopped talking, grabbed the abacus in his hand and went downstairs to prepare.

When the guy passing by saw Yuzi's face like he was about to be punished by God, he laughed: "Yo, Brother Yuzi, what kind of errand did the boss send to you today." ”

The guys in the restaurant all know that the high price given by their boss is just so that they can be lazy.

Yuzi can also be regarded as their leader, and the guy who spoke just now was the same as Yuzi, who was sent to protect Qiao You, although they were all masters of martial arts, they couldn't help but play with each other.

Yuzi glared at him, and his tone was a little vicious: "Do your job, you know how to laugh, you can laugh to death." ”

Talking guy: "......"

Just kidding, why are you so angry and eat gunpowder!

Xia Ziyan got up in the house, and just arrived on the first floor of the restaurant to find Qiao You, not far away, a little girl ran in with a note in her hand and a pair of small short legs, threw down Xia Ziyan's side, stuffed the note into Xia Ziyan's hand and ran away.

Xia Ziyan didn't come to her senses yet, she yawned and rubbed her eyes indecently, this posture didn't look like a big lady, but like a rude girl.

She looked down, opened the note, saw the words on the note, her pupils widened, and she suddenly came to her senses.

There were only two words on the note: Now.

Don't think about it, Xia Ziyan also knows who asked the little girl to bring the note and give it to her.

Pinching the note in her hand, she didn't have time to think about it, and went directly to the backyard to find Qiao You.

"It's the end of summer now, and it's already dark when it's just now, so she asked me to bring someone over at this time, could it be that she wanted?" She didn't continue, but Qiao Yo understood what she meant.
