Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 109
Chapter 109 There’s A Backpack
“Alright, Qiao Qiao, Third Sister has no intention of blaming you.” No matter how uncomfortable she felt, Qiao Jinwen still had to act as if she was sisterly. She held Qiao Yunxi’s hand and said, “Since the Crown Prince instructed you to do it, you naturally have to do as the Crown Prince instructed. That’s the Crown Prince’s invitation. It’s definitely good to be careful. Grandmother and my mother are also worried that you are young and won’t handle it. However, with Mammy Shen by your side, she will teach you these things.”
“Third sister, don’t you care about Qiao Qiao?” Qiao Yunxi’s eyes reddened. “Third sister, did Qiao Qiao do something wrong? Qiao Qiao has only been your closest ever since she was young. If you don’t care about Qiao Qiao, then I…”
“Little girl, I haven’t said anything yet. You’re in a hurry.” Qiao Jinwen poked Qiao Yunxi’s forehead with her finger. Her dark eyes looked at her expression carefully and made sure that there was no abnormality in her eyes. Then she said, “How could Third Sister not care about you? Third Sister is just a little angry. You didn’t tell me about such a big matter and even handed over the Crown Prince’s name card to the government.” Third Sister knows that you are eager to prove your innocence, but we can solve any problem by ourselves. You even used the Crown Prince’s name card. Third Sister is worried that the Crown Prince will be unhappy. ”
Seeing Qiao Yunxi giggle, Qiao Jinwen asked again, “Qiao Qiao, tell Third Sister the truth. How many more of the Crown Prince’s invitation cards do you have? Where did you put them?”
‘”My Third Sister, look at how nervous you are,” Qiao Yunxi said innocently. “The Crown Prince only gave me a name card because of Old Madame Lu. He asked me to take it out when I needed it. How much do you think he could give me? That’s the Crown Prince’s name card, not some piece of toilet paper. Take as much as you want.”
“Little girl, how did you speak? Watch out for grandmother punishing you!” The two sisters returned to their giggling appearances, “Third Sister is afraid that you haven’t tidied up. Alright, let’s use it. Since the government has intervened, let’s wait for news.”
Qiao Yunxi paused.
Regardless of whether it was the old witch or Qiao San, they were only concerned about whether there was any extra invitation in her hand, but they didn’t ask where the one she handed over to the government was.
The next matter was naturally the matter of the government, so Qiao Yunxi still had to go to the clan to learn.
Everyone knew about the matter of her complaint being handed over to the government, and they were all waiting to see a joke.
Merchant, have you ever seen anything dirty?
Competitors’ slander and slander were just as common as usual. In line with the principle of making money with kindness, no one would return it on the surface. Instead, they would use even more dirty methods to return the favor privately.
Qiao Xi played big this time, finding the person who spread the rumors, how would she deal with it?
He had truly lost face, and that would also cut off his path in the future.
Businessmen valued benefits. As long as they had benefits, even enemies could cooperate. Although this was not absolute, the pursuit of profit by merchants was no different from the struggle for power by nobles.
However, Qiao Yunxi was determined to teach the other party a lesson.
This time, the Qiao Clan was interesting.
Qiao Xi is the daughter of Qiao Clan’s first wife. She offended people and will eventually be recorded on the Qiao Clan. The business of the Qiao Clan …
Interesting.
Perhaps it was because of Shen Huaihao’s name card that the government worked so hard that it did not let down those who had devoted their efforts, and it really allowed them to find a few clues.
Qiao Xi was in the study, stumbling over her abacus.
This was not good in ancient times. Without a calculator, it was not good to use a pen to calculate, but Mammy Shen insisted on her using an abacus.
Qiao Xi clumsily used a finger to move the abacus bead. As she calculated, she looked at the abacus.
“Qiao Qiao!” Jin Baijin’s voice sounded like the sound of nature, and Qiao Yunxi heaved a sigh of relief.
Mammy Shen shook her head in amusement. She had been following Little Master for so long, how could she not know Little Master’s thoughts?
She did not insist that Little Master could use his abacus skillfully. No matter what method Little Master used, he could settle the accounts.
“Qiao Qiao, there’s a result from the government!” Kimberkin was more concerned about Qiao Yunxi’s appeal than anyone else, regardless of whether he was angry or gossiping, he was “passionate” about the whole thing.
Seeing that Qiao Xi did not react at all, Jin Baijin immediately became anxious, “Qiao Qiao, don’t you want to know who it is?”
“Who is it?” Qiao Yunxi asked perfunctorily.
“It’s the maidservant of the second room. She has already voluntarily surrendered to the yamen.”
Oh?
That’s interesting.
“Qiao Qiao, you don’t believe me, do you?”
“You know?” Qiao Yunxi asked.
‘”A maidservant can spread the rumors to the whole of Jincheng. Isn’t her ability too great? Besides, without Master’s acquiescence, such rumors can spread from Second Fang to the outside world? I think, 80%. No, it’s just Master’s intention. The maidservant is just a backstabber.” Jin Baijin said with a piercing look.
“You’re quite smart.”
“That’s right. I don’t want to see who this young master is.” Jin Baijin said with his nostrils facing the heavens and earth.
Qiao Yunxi smiled.
Jin Baijin was right.
Naturally, the rumors couldn’t be spread out by Maid. Without his master’s instructions, such rumors couldn’t even be spread out in the courtyard, let alone outside. Of course, once it spread out, with the power of the people’s gossip, it would naturally spread unstoppably.
However, it was not Second Fang who spread the rumors.
Old hag hurriedly asked Second Fang to find a substitute, because she wanted to protect Fourth Fang.
The people from Fang 3 couldn’t handle it, and Old hag couldn’t do anything shameless. Uh, he couldn’t do it openly, so he could only find the people from Fang 2. She didn’t need to be too clear. She only needed to hint that Bi Cuiqiu was smart and knew what to do.
After all, Second Fang was currying favor with Fourth Fang.
Right now, she was the only one in the long room. What could she do with the second room?
This was done by Maid. It had nothing to do with Master. Even if she was wronged, she could not vent her anger on Second Uncle and Second Aunt. Besides, there was an old demon suppressing her. What could she do?
What an abacus.
“Seriously, Qiao Qiao, are you going to endure this?” Kim Bak Kim is unfair again.
Qiao Yunxi looked at him sideways. “Why do I feel that you seem to be paying special attention to me these days? When did our relationship become so good?”
“Isn’t it always so good?” Jin Baijin asked, stiffening his neck.
Qiao Xi laughed twice.
‘”Qiao Qiao, you know that I am the most upright person. I can’t be bullied. If you need me, just say it. If you don’t want to let it go, we can do something secretly. I don’t lack money. I can buy people if I have money. I still have some connections.” Jin Baijin licked his face and said, “Qiao Qiao, you know I am the most upright person.”
Oh?
Qiao Xi couldn’t help but glance at Jin Baijin.
This fellow, who didn’t show off, was actually so capable.
Merchants, on the surface, are doing legitimate business, but if they have too much money, they will always make people jealous. They have no background, no connections, and they will only be bullied. This was still considered good. He was afraid that he wouldn’t even be able to defend his family property, so he had to borrow the help of outsiders at this time.
Good businessmen, successful businessmen, no matter if it was the white path or the underworld, all had their own paths.
Just like her father Qiao Xingbang, she had her own connections in the Dao.
This was also why the people in the circle all hoped that there would be descendants in the clan who would pursue an official career.
Only when there were people in the court could things be handled conveniently.
“Then I’ll thank you first.”
“Me and you, who is it?” Jin Baijin said in a loud voice, “Right, what I said earlier is that we are going to open a shop together …”
“What do you mean?”
“I have no problem. It’s up to you.” Jin Baijin was the young owner of the Jin Clan. He doted on her, so he had to nurture her. He had been in contact with the business of his family since he was young. Although the Jin Clan was engaged in the restaurant business, the clan members did not object to his small-scale test. It did not matter whether he earned or lost. Accumulating experience was one of them, and the other was to broaden his horizons and circles.
Jin Baijin did not lack pocket money, nor did he have the habit of spending money randomly. Although he was a rich N-generation, other than being stupid in his studies, he was also very smart in other aspects. The money he had saved over the years was more than enough to work with Qiao Yunxi to do something.
“Where are the gold ornaments you brought back from Chaotian Gate?” Qiao Yunxi suddenly asked.
“No, Qiao Qiao, do you mean we open a gold shop?”
“Gold stores are too limited. Gold prices change too quickly. Although it has always been an upward trend, if you want to continue in the long run, first of all, you have to have a stable supply of goods.”
“Then … shall we hire a gold mine?”
Sure enough, he was rich.
The corner of Qiao Yunxi’s mouth twitched.
“I’ll think about it again.” She already had a preliminary plan.
As the two of them spoke, Maid came in and said that Bi Cuiqiu and Qiao Ningdai from the second room had arrived.
Jin Baijin smiled at each other, his face full of ridicule.
“Qiao Qiao, Young Master Jin.” Bi Cuiqiu led Qiao Ningdai in with a bright smile on her face.
“Second Aunt, Fifth Sister.”
“Second Madam Qiao, Fifth Miss Qiao.” The serious Kim Pak-kin was still a human.
“Qiao Qiao rarely has a friend she can talk to. I didn’t expect to be able to chat with Young Master Jin.” Qiao Ningdai’s words were unclear, and her gaze moved back and forth between Jin Baijin and Qiao Xi.
“Young Master Ben and Qiao Qiao are like old friends at first sight. They can really talk very well. Adding on the friendship between our classmates, it can be said that Qiao Qiao is a very good friend of Young Master Ben. Do you have any questions, Fifth Miss Qiao?”
Bi Cuiqiu glared at Qiao Ningdai and said in a circle, “Young Master Jin misunderstood. Ningdai is also concerned about Qiao Qiao.” We are also gratified that Qiao Qiao and Young Master Jin can get along well, but no matter what, Qiao Qiao is still a girl who hasn’t left the pavilion. There is no elder on eldest branch’s side now. Every time Young Master Jin barges into Qiao Qiao’s courtyard, it seems … inappropriate. Even though Mammy Shen was by his side every time, he didn’t know the situation, and it was inevitable that unpleasant words would come out. Ning Dai was also worried about Qiao Qiao’s reputation, so she said so.
‘”Isn’t Second Madame Qiao very clear about the rumors outside? Why would Qiao Qiao’s reputation be affected if someone didn’t have ulterior motives? Besides, I came in openly. Old Madame didn’t say anything, but Second Madame Qiao has a problem with it.”
