Qiao Zhongda actually knew about the Zhao family last night, out of politeness, when he got home last night, he sent his family to ride a fast horse to visit the peace, but he didn't expect to hear that something had happened.

At that time, Zhang Qingting was so frightened that he had no master, and he was busy going to Mengfu to ask for help, and he didn't pay attention to these. Bao Zhu saw that this Second Master Qiao had a good relationship with the master, so he told the truth that he was robbed when he went home, and he also suffered some skin injuries.

Qiao Zhongda thought that their family must be panicked and chaotic now, if he went over, it would not be helping, but adding to the chaos. So he pressed it down for the time being, and waited until after dinner, when he didn't even bring Qiao Minxuan, and personally brought some medicinal materials that might be used to visit.

After a day of rest, the family was in a calmer mood and in a much better spirit, and when I saw him again, I would be able to sort out my thoughts and make it clear. There is no need to hide anything in front of him, Zhang Qingting sighed without saying a word, and said a rough idea. Qiao Zhongda was very indignant after hearing this, "Being so arrogant, it's really a dog and a dog, lawless!" ”

However, he is not one of those people who listens to grievances and scolds out of anger. Not to mention asking if the gangsters have been caught or not, those are meaningless. Not to mention Zhang Qingting, this kind of thing falls on his head, and I'm afraid it can't be easily shaken and swayed. Qiao Zhongda was concerned about a more practical question, "Then are you preparing for the future?" Do you still want to do this business? ”

"I still want to do it, but I feel a little uneasy in my heart, and I'm afraid that if I make such a fuss again, it will be worth the loss." Although Zhang Qingting listened to Zhao Chengcai's advice and tried to take the matter first, he inevitably had some pimples in his heart.

Qiao Zhongda nodded, pondered slightly, and suddenly asked, "Mrs. Zhao, are you going home after Mr. Zhao's class in this academy is over?" How do you settle your younger siblings? ”

Zhang Qingting seemed to have something to say when he heard this, and said busily, "I'm worried about this matter!" In this big year, the husband is long, if you don't go back, it's really unreasonable, and you will have to prepare for the big exam next fall, so you have to go back! But you also know the situation of our family, and my brother and sister can't leave. I sent a letter to my family some time ago, and I think it's almost time to receive it now, but there is really no one at home, even if it is an elder, but in this capital, there are no relatives and no reason. Although Mrs. Meng has taken care of her a lot here, after all, their family has a big business, where can they afford us to cause chaos again? I also mentioned it to Mrs. Meng, thinking that I would like to move out. It's just that I'm afraid that we will leave, and they will be even weaker, which will be even more worrying. ”

Qiao Zhongda frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment before saying, "I have a sentence here, and I am afraid that I will be presumptuous when I say it, which will cause people to be surprised." ”

"It's okay, second master, please speak."

"Mrs. Zhao, no matter how we do this business, there is a premise, that is, the volume must be large. If the amount is large, this artificial site must not be small, and you must find a special place. As for me, I set up a small village on the outskirts of the city, the place is a little remote, and the houses are not good enough, but the place is big enough, the house is quite strong, and it is only half an hour's drive from the capital, and it can barely afford to live in people. I originally planned to clean up the place and use it as a workshop in the future, but if you are willing to go over, of course I will clean up another courtyard for your own use. ”

Qiao Zhongda smiled humbly, "Although I am not talented, I still know a few good friends, but they are willing to bother to help me take care of it, if you don't dislike the simple place in the countryside, it may be quieter than in this capital." ”

Oh? Zhang Qingting's heart moved when he heard this, could it be that this is the place where he will live separately in the future? "I don't dare to dislike it, I'm just afraid of bothering you."

"Actually, I also have some selfishness in it. I can't leave the house for a while, if Mrs. Zhao helps me keep an eye on the scene, it would be the best! When Qiao Zhongda said this, it was tantamount to acquiescing that he would move over soon. If even he had to go there, would the safety of the place still be in question?

Look at his smile with some warmth, he sincerely wants to help them, but he prefers to say as if he has asked for them. Zhang Qingting was moved, "It's hard to bother the second master!" We countrymen are not very accustomed to the prosperity of the capital, but we are in the countryside, but we are more accustomed to it. ”

Qiao Zhongda smiled, got up and said goodbye, "Then I'll tell someone to go over and clean up first, and when Mr. Zhao is well in a few days, please go over and shop together, if you like it, you can stay, if you don't like it, don't force it." I also asked people to keep an eye on you in the capital, and you can always find a suitable room. ”

Hearing these words was really comfortable, Zhang Qingting thanked him and sent him out. When he went back to discuss with Zhao Chengcai, he was also willing, "The prosperity of this capital is prosperous, but people's hearts are also mixed." Yulian is also older, and she is born like that, if she can find a farm to settle in a quiet place, it is better than showing up in the capital. Besides, this is not only a needlework business, women must be indispensable, and there are also people who have a companionship with her, so it is not so boring. It's Wang'er, but it's a hard work every day, just take a car back and forth. At that time, let's see who the family sends, if not, we will leave Baozhu behind, get them a small carriage, and let him follow Wang'er every day, that is. ”

Zhang Qingting nodded, "I think so too, it's difficult for my aunt to pull out people for a while, and most of the people who come are still those two old family members." Baozhu is young after all, and he is also smart, so it is good for him to stay here and take care of him. ”

"It's just a little inconvenience." Zhao Chengcai frowned slightly, "Why is he a widower?" If you get married, then there is really nothing to scruple about. ”

Zhang Qingting laughed, but sighed again, "Maybe, if he wants to leave the house, he will have to pick up a daughter-in-law!" ”

"Don't think too badly! After all, this is a matter for the husband and wife, even if there is something for a while, but after a long time, after all, they are all towards their own home. ”

This is very true, as a girl, no matter how close you are, you will only accompany you until you get married, and most of the future generations will follow each other, only the stupidest wife will think about elbows all day long.

In the future, when Zhang Qingting and Qiao Zhongda made an appointment to discuss cooperation again, Qiao Zhongda was afraid that she would not be in the mood, so when she came back, she said that she would talk about it later. But Zhao Chengcai felt much better, and there was someone to take care of him at home, so he asked Zhang Qingting to go, "Before leaving, settle all the things that should be decided earlier, but it's much better than going back then, thinking that this was not done, and that was not done." ”

So Zhang Qingting still went, in order to avoid suspicion, it was not easy to send someone to follow, so he only sent a carriage to accompany her, but Zhang Qingting took the initiative to mention, "Then it's better to let Miss Bitao go over with me to be a companion!" It's all men, and I'm embarrassed to be a woman. ”

Of course, Mrs. Meng agreed, and specially instructed Bi Tao not to say a word, just bring her ears.

In Rong Bao Zhai, it is not only Qiao Zhongda and Gao Yi who are here today, but also several faces, men and women, with different temperaments. Zhang Qingting didn't dare to slack off, and greeted them one by one.

Among them, there is a bearded man who is the most bold, "Mrs. Zhao, you don't have to be polite, we are all big and coarse, and we don't have other skills, but don't worry, as long as you sincerely treat us as friends, your family's affairs will be my old bag's business in the future!" ”

If he can say this, he is not a pure coarse.

Qiao Zhongda introduced with a smile, "This Bao Shiming is the head of my village, you call him Brother Bao." ”

The middle-aged woman surnamed Jiang, dressed in green clothes, dressed plainly, without a bit of fat and hairpin, like a widow. But in her hair wrapped in green cloth, she still vaguely saw the girl's long braids to show that Yunying was not married. Look at her cold face, she calls herself, "It's just an embroiderer." "may have been personally invited here by Qiao Zhongda, but he is definitely not an ordinary person.

The other two are not tall, and the honest man who looks like an ordinary farmer is a pair of brothers, the eldest is Yan Xinan, and the younger brother is Yan Xibei, they are indeed farming, but they are also real martial arts masters. The ancestral Xingyi fist in the family is powerful in all directions.

Zhang Qingting couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart, how did this Qiao Zhongda get these strange people together? When everyone arrived, they didn't talk about business, they just sat there and talked about some rambling, as if they were waiting for someone.

After waiting for another cup of tea, I saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy come in sweating profusely, and repeatedly confessed, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late!" Punish me for sweeping the floor in a moment. ”

"Haha, you can't sweep enough every day, and you still come here to sweep, I'm afraid you want to sweep it cheaply!"

I thought it was a big guy waiting for, but I didn't expect it to be such a young child, Zhang Qingting was really a little puzzled. But his eyes inadvertently glanced down, but he saw that the boy didn't have time to change the cloud socks under his robe, this was actually a little Taoist?

Jiang Shi said lightly, "Now that everyone is here, let's start talking about business, and those who have nothing to do with it please go out." ”

Zhang Qingting saw that the maids and girls who were waiting in the house all came out. Bi Tao hesitated, but still stood behind Zhang Qingting.

Bao Shiming looked at her for a while, "Little girl, please go out first!" Otherwise, who are you here from? ”

This...... Bi Tao choked and blushed slightly, hesitated for a moment and finally retreated.

Covering the door, Bao Shiming explained to Zhang Qingting, "Mrs. Zhao, the second master invited you to come because he trusted you." The people he trusts, we certainly trust. It's just that we are all rough people, sometimes we don't have a guard to speak, and we still try to bring as few irrelevant people as possible. Although there is nothing to say to people, there are some things that are meaningless when they are broken. ”

Zhang Qingting understood, this was a subtle reminder to her that what she heard here should be said, and what should not be said should not be publicized to the public.

Then let's listen to it first, and see how Qiao Zhongda wants to use these people to make this deal.
