Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 122
Chapter 122 I’m Touched
“Then now?”
Don’t blame Tang Yuan for being nervous. Since Qiao Xi holds the title of “Poisonous Woman”, she is naturally not a merciful person.
“Qiao Xi gave Danggui ten days to arrange their family in the manor. Danggui wants to leave in her own way.”
“Master, what does she mean?” She had never come into contact with Qiao Xi, and the rice cake’s understanding of her all came from dumplings and other materials.
Especially Tang Yuan’s elaboration, there was no lack of personal emotions, as well as ingredients to flatter the master.
In addition, Tang Yuan’s repeated expression in front of Master and Master’s awkward thoughts, to tell the truth, not only did he not know anything about Qiao Xi now, he was also completely confused about Master’s thoughts.
This was the place where he had the greatest sense of crisis.
He could tell that his master treated Qiao Yunxi differently.
However, whether this “extraordinary” was good or bad depended entirely on Master’s mood.
That was why he continued to ask, “Master, the Eleventh Day was torn apart. There were only two outcomes. One was that she managed to escape by herself, and the other was that she released him. What was the meaning of leaving in her own way?”
With Eleven’s methods, even if the other party caught her, she still had the ability to escape, so there was no danger to her life. Or perhaps, Qiao Yunxi knew about the master behind Eleventh, and after weighing the options, he let her go, so he only asked about those two possibilities in his previous questioning.
Gu Jinzhen played with the note in his hand and said faintly, “Dang Gui is now the daughter of an escort. He has a father and a mother. How can he leave just like that?”
“No wonder.” The rice cake nodded, “Then, what do you mean?”
Gu Jinzhen tapped on the table with his fingers. The sudden rhythm was exceptionally quiet in the silent twilight. After a long time, Gu Jinzhen raised the corner of his lips slightly.
Tang Yuan and Rice Cake hurriedly put on a tight formation.
“Tell Dang Gui that no matter what method she uses, she has to stay behind for me.”
“Master, isn’t it too difficult to reach Eleventh?” Shocked by Master’s instructions, Tang Yuan thought further. “Qiao Xi already knows her identity. How can she stay? Even in the dark, it’s probably impossible. Qiao Xi already has a hidden guard brought back from the Gu Clan. Eleventh is difficult in the open and in the dark.”
“That’s her business. Sometimes, if you admit defeat appropriately, you’ll be able to achieve your goal even more.”
Rice Cake looked at Gu Jinzhen strangely. He didn’t expect that Ye Zichen would actually have such a thing … er, on the thoughtful side, was this Eleventh Year, whether it was acting cute or splashing, he had to stay by Qiao Xi’s side?
Why?
Was it because she was worried that Qiao Xi would attack Qiao San?
If that was the case, then why didn’t you arrange for Eleven to be next to Qiao San?
As long as he explained her identity, he believed that Qiao’s Third Son would be more willing to keep her by his side. It could not only protect her, but also satisfy her vanity.
After thinking so much, and looking at Tang Yuan’s flattering face, Rice Cake felt disdain in his heart-he only knew how to flatter, but he didn’t do anything.
“Master, during this period of time, Qiao Yunxi and Jin Baijin have jointly opened a medicinal restaurant in Jincheng.”
Gu Jinzhen nodded. Dang Gui had reported this matter to him. Although he felt uncomfortable, there was nothing he could do about it. He was doing business seriously. What could he do?
Just thinking that the fatty had all sorts of reasons to stay with Qiao Yunxi made him feel uncomfortable. He didn’t understand where the sour anger came from.
“How is the restaurant business?”
“The Jin Clan’s property, how can it not be profitable?” Tang Yuan snorted.
“How much money did Qiao Yunxi put in? What kind of cooperation treaty did she sign with Jin Family? How much can she earn? Also, is her cooperation with Jin Family reliable? Will she be bullied by the people of Jin Family? Besides …” Gu Jinzhen frowned and began to shred.
The rice cakes in the clouds could no longer keep pace with their master and companions.
“Master, don’t worry, Qiao Xi is so smart and won’t suffer any losses. This subordinate guesses that this is just the beginning of Qiao Xi. What she wants is not just silver. She is now running for president of Jincheng Chamber of Commerce, so what she wants may be …” Tangyuan glanced at the rice cake cunningly and said, “Don’t worry, Qiao Xi is so smart and won’t suffer any losses.”
All of Qiao Family!
Tang Yuan had been carefully observing Gu Jinzhen’s expression, and the rhythm of his words was extremely measured. As long as his master’s expression was slightly wrong, his words would immediately turn around.
If it had been in the past, when he had said this, I would have already taken action to stop him and destroy him. But now, I was concerned about Qiao Xi’s interests.
The speculation in his heart was confirmed, and Tang Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. He finally understood what Yours Truly was thinking.
“By the way, Master, everything here has been completed. When are we leaving?” Tang Yuan asked carefully.
Gu Jinzhen’s paralyzed face finally became a little awkward.
As the number one celebrity beside Master, the Marquis of Marquis Ding Guo’s Manor waited for the captain of the Saber Guards. Tang Yuan immediately understood Master’s thoughts. “Master, during this period of time, everyone has been busy, and their nerves are tense. Once this matter comes to an end, let’s give everyone a holiday.” This time, we will only be there for ten days and a half months. After we return, there will be even more dangerous things waiting for everyone. Once we understand what happened over there, I will be at ease. Only then will we be able to deal with those people better. ”
Holy shit!
The rice cake was dumbstruck as it looked at the dumpling.
Three days later, we should treat each other with respect!
When did this sesame pie develop into a civil servant?
This is to cultivate both civil and martial arts, too cunning!
Turning around, he looked nervously at Gu Jinzhen.
Sure enough, his master had an arrogant expression and nodded with satisfaction, “It was you who persuaded me to go, not what I wanted to go.”
It was time to go. He still had a lot of questions to ask.
That was a question that had haunted him for two lifetimes.
…
Jincheng.
The business of “Food Under Heaven” was gradually on the right track, and the rest of the business was basically taken care of by Jin Baijin.
During this period of time, Jin Baijin had learned from his clan and spent most of his time in the restaurant. Even if he had nothing to do, he would still drag Qiao Yunxi to sit here for half a day.
Qiao Yunxi knew that this brat didn’t want to go back to face Mrs. Jin’s coercion.
A while ago, Madam Jin collected the portraits of the daughters of the merchants and aristocratic families in Jincheng and the surroundings. She first picked a few that she was satisfied with and asked Jin Baijin to choose one that she liked from among them.
Jin Baijin found all sorts of reasons to refuse. Seeing his resolute attitude, Madam Jin did not force him again.
Just as Jin Baijin thought that the matter was over, he touched his bedroom one evening and saw two white-robed women lying on the bed. He was so frightened that he turned around and ran away. He directly howled to Qiao Family. Under the inexplicable and surprised gazes of the bedrooms, he moved into the side courtyard of the Eastern Courtyard.
Normally speaking, this was extremely irregular. No matter how good the relationship between Jin Baijin and Qiao Xi was, they were still men. If they really wanted to live in the Qiao Clan, there would be plenty of guest houses in the Qiao Clan.
The elders of the eldest house weren’t here. A man lived in the courtyard of the eldest house. What was it like?
Old Madame Qiao and Fourth Fang were originally unhappy, but Qiao Ningdai’s seemingly unintentional words caused Old Madame Qiao and Fourth Fang to change their minds. Not only did they leave Jin Baijin behind, they were also very enthusiastic.
Jin Baijin was also a human genius, how could he not know the thoughts of these women?
He made a special visit to Old Madame Qiao, By the way, she asked Qiao Xi for information from the books. First, she shut up Old Madam Qiao’s mouth. Then, the mammy beside Mrs. Jin came to Qiao’s house on purpose. She accused her master of disturbing her and gave her room expenses. She also sent vegetables and fruits to provide her master with three meals a day. Old Madam Qiao and the people in the fourth room did not take advantage of this.
On the other hand, Second Master Qiao was looking for all kinds of opportunities to get close to Jin Baijin in the East courtyard.
Regardless of whether Qiao Jiacheng admitted it or not, the Jin Clan was a more glorious existence than the Qiao Clan. Being able to establish a relationship with the Jin Clan, they also had a friendship with the nobles in the capital.
It wasn’t until she came into deep contact with Jin Baijin that Qiao Xi knew that the Jin Clan’s property wasn’t just a “first-grade building”. The Jin Clan was involved in everything related to food. Apart from restaurants, grain shops were also a large portion of the Jin Clan’s property.
Qiao Xi nudged Jin Baijin with her elbow. “Fatty, is this really okay? The Jin Clan’s property is so big, aren’t you afraid that the higher ups will randomly find a reason to rob the family or something?”
“Otherwise, what do you think the Jin Clan is spending so much effort to do in the Imperial Court?” Jin Baijin’s eyes turned white.
Qiao Yunxi was still worried, “Although there are people in your dynasty, they are only allies in the end. No matter how strong your relationship is, you will not be able to withstand the temptation of greed and the threat of your lives.”
“Qiao Qiao, I’m touched that you care so much about me.”
Haha, I’m afraid that I’ll be implicated!
Facing Jin Baijin’s grateful gaze, Qiao Xi said solemnly, “Seriously, if the Jin Clan continues to grow so big, the people above will definitely have ideas.”
Dynasty was the world of imperial power. Whether it was the return of financial resources or the aspirations of the people, they had to revolve around imperial power.
Not to mention the Jin Clan’s monopoly on the dynasty’s economic lifeline, it could control 60% of the dynasty’s grain. This was a great threat to the Tian Clan.
Bread is the stall of life!
The Jin Clan would not be able to escape if the people above were really serious.
There are too many such examples in history.
‘”Qiao Qiao, there are some things that I can’t tell you right now. But don’t worry, the Jin Family will be fine. In the long run, I dare not say that the Jin Family will be fine in the two generations of imperial power. As long as the throne is not seized by the Imperial Court, our Jin Family will be safe.”
Qiao Xi finally looked at Jin Baijin.
“It’s not that I don’t believe you, Qiao Qiao,” Kim Bai Jin said sincerely. “It’s not that I don’t believe you. It’s because this matter involves secrets. I’m telling you, but I put you in a dangerous position. In short, you can cooperate with me without worry. I guarantee that you’ll make a lot of money.”
“Nah, that’s what you said.”
Qiao Yunxi laughed, but he thought a lot in his heart.
If Jin Family reached some sort of agreement with the Imperial Court, and such an agreement could guarantee that Jin Family would rest easy within the two generations of imperial power, then that meant that not only would Jin Family reach an agreement with the emperor in power, but even the next emperor would abide by the agreement.
Therefore, Jin Family knew who the next successor in the Emperor’s heart would be!
Although the emperor did not announce the crown prince’s choice, he had already confirmed it in his heart, and had brought the next emperor to make an agreement with Jin Family.
