Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 169
Chapter 169 Preparedness
“When will you leave?” Zhong Chenglin suddenly asked, and the atmosphere instantly darkened.
“In a few days, I’ll head straight to Nanjiang.” Gu Jinzhen originally wanted to return to the southern border, but if Duanmu Qing hadn’t suddenly come to Shu Province, he wouldn’t have rushed over.
“The capital has already been arranged?”
Gu Jinzhen snorted coldly. “There’s no need for special arrangements. They haven’t made any moves these past few years. They aren’t in a hurry. Why should I be in a hurry?”
Zhong Chenglin said mockingly, “They are indeed not in a hurry. They have more important things to do.”
After a pause, he asked, “How long will you be staying there this time?”
Gu Jinzhen thought for a moment and said, “It’s going to be July.”
“Alright then. At that time, Qiao Qiao and I will wait for you in the capital.”
Qiao Xi pointed at her nose.
The meaning is obvious-what does it have to do with her?
“Qiao Qiao, you must have confidence in us. By July, we must have already developed in the capital.”
“That’s right, that’s right,” Jin Baijin nodded in agreement. “Even if your tea shop hasn’t developed to the capital, our ‘Food Under Heaven’ will definitely have developed to the capital.”
“Brat, look for a beating!” Zhong Chenglin’s eyes narrowed dangerously.
With Qiao Xi around, would Jin Baijin be afraid?
He glared back very forcefully.
Gu Jinzhen helped Qiao Yunxi pick up her favorite beef and said, “Qiao Qiao, I’ll leave the rice cake with you.”
“What about you?” Qiao Xi asked reflexively.
Gu Jinzhen was very excited. This was Qiao Qiao taking the initiative to care about him!
Suppressing the corner of his lips, he expressionlessly said, “Rice cake is handled with caution. I can rest assured that I will stay by your side. As for me, I have Tang Yuan by my side.”
“But if you want to go to Nanjiang, isn’t it safer to have more people by your side?” Caring for Gu Jinzhen is part of it. In addition, Qiao Yunxi doesn’t like having too many people around Gu Jinzhen. One Dang Gui is already the limit. One more rice cake …
Qiao Yunxi was a little unhappy.
‘”Don’t worry, Rice Cake is with you. You are his master and he obeys you. I won’t dictate anything to him during his time with you, much less give orders. The Qiao Family is at a critical juncture. If a dog is anxious, he will jump off the wall. Who knows what those people from those rooms will do?” Gu Jinzhen said.
Moreover, the people from Fourth Fang were also connected to Duanmu Qing, so he had to take precautions.
Qiao Xiqiao thought about it and no longer struggled with this question. She only said, “You gave me the rice cake. Be careful yourself.”
“Nanjiang is still very safe and sound. There won’t be any big battles. It’s you. If you need anything, remember to write to me. Rice cake and Dang Gui know how to contact me.” It tied him to Qiao Yunxi.
The group didn’t go back until after dinner at the racecourse.
The next morning, Jin Baijin came. To Qiao Yunxi’s surprise, Gu Jinzhen and Zhong Chenglin also came.
Standing at the entrance of the East courtyard, Qiao Yunxi looked at Gu Jinzhen with a faint smile.
Gu Jinzhen clenched his fists and placed them on the side of his mouth. He coughed softly in disguise, “Didn’t you say that yesterday? Let’s drink tea together.”
“Yeah, come and have some tea.” Qiao Xi ridiculed and turned around, letting the few of them enter the study room.
“Hey, Qiao Qiao, you still have cherry blossoms here?” Zhong Chenglin said in surprise.
Qiao Xi nodded, “That was specially found for me by my mother.”
“This place isn’t big, but it contains all the flowers, plants, and trees of the dynasty.”
“Envious?”
“I’m still very jealous,” Zhong Chenglin said exaggeratedly. “The flowers and trees in this courtyard alone are priceless. Qiao Qiao, you’re rich.”
“That’s right, sister doesn’t lack money.”
While teasing Zhong Chenglin, he led everyone into the study.
“Qiao Qiao,” Jin Baijin still remembered what he hadn’t said yesterday. As soon as he entered, he leaned in front of Qiao Yunxi and whispered, “Qiu Hong, I’ve already sent him away.”
“Capital?”
Seeing Jin Baijin nod, Qiao Yunxi was relieved.
It wasn’t that he was faintly in the market, but that when he was cooperating with Qiu Hong, he agreed to the other party’s request and gave him enough money. After sending him to the capital, he could start over.
She wasn’t afraid that Fang 4’s people would chase after her. The Qiao Family’s people were all interested. Qiao Linzi was already dead. Old Fourth Qiao wouldn’t investigate the truth just because of the so-called truth. Moreover, she could vaguely sense that the people from Fourth Floor were plotting something, so she would not interfere in Qiao Linzi’s affairs at this critical juncture.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already arranged for the aftermath here. No one will find anything.” Jin Baijin wasn’t worried at all. The Jin Family’s actions were guaranteed.
“Who’s next?” It was Zhong Chenglin who asked this question.
Qiao Yunxi directly scolded him with a look of disdain.
Zhong Chenglin wasn’t embarrassed at all. He said excitedly, “We are partners now. If Fatty Jin can help you, I can help you.”
Qiao Yunxi revealed his little tiger fangs and said fiercely, “Since when are you so interested in Qiao Family?”
“Just clean up your mess. Qiao Qiao has me on her side.” Gu Jinzhen suddenly declared his sovereignty.
Hearing this, Zhong Chenglin immediately looked over with grief.
Even crossing rivers and demolishing bridges wouldn’t bring such a thing!
Just as they were saying this happily, Huang Qi reluctantly came in and said that Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai had come.
Qiao Yunxi immediately looked meaningfully at Gu Jinzhen.
Gu Jinzhen’s expression was not good either. It was rare for him to get along with Qiao Qiao. However, these ignorant people were going to be an eyesore.
Qiao Jinwen specially dressed up, seemingly no different from usual, but she still put in a lot of effort in the details.
“Qiao Qiao, there’s a guest?” Upon entering the study room, Qiao Jinwen’s footsteps paused when she saw the people inside, as if she was a little surprised.
“Third Sister, Fifth Sister, you’re here. Come in and have a seat.” Qiao Yunxi stood up and greeted him.
“Young Master Gu, Young Master Zhong, Young Master Jin.”
After greeting the three of them separately, Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai sat down next to Qiao Yunxi.
“Qiao Qiao, what are you talking about? Will Third Sister disturb you?” Qiao Jinwen asked politely.
“No, I just casually chatted. Why are Third Sister and Fifth Sister here?”
Qiao Jinwen smiled and said, “It’s my turn to hold a poem party with your fifth sister this month. Back then, you didn’t participate because of your health. This time, your fifth sister and I came to ask if we should prepare it together.”
“Well, I don’t understand either. It’s good that I can’t help you at that time. I’m afraid of bad things.”
“How is that possible? Preparing for the poem conference isn’t that complicated. We just need to arrange the venue slightly, prepare tea, and arrange for a few people to watch to ensure everyone’s safety.”
“Then there’s no need for me. Third sister often helps grandmother and fourth aunt prepare for all kinds of gatherings in the mansion. She’s very experienced.”
“So, Third Sister came to ask what you mean. If you are willing, Third Sister will bring you along and you will be able to do it very soon. Sooner or later, you will have to learn all of these things.” Qiao Jinwen said reluctantly.
So good?
Qiao Yunxi lowered his eyes and played with his fingers.
“Qiao Qiao is shy.” Qiao Jinwen made a circle for herself.
“Qiao Qiao, Third Sister and I came here specifically to invite you.” Qiao Ningdai said.
Qiao Xi smiled. Before she could perfunctorily say a few words, Gu Jinzhen said, “Qiao Qiao probably won’t be free these few days.”
“Why?” After saying that, she realized that her tone was wrong. Qiao Jinwen explained with an embarrassed smile, “Young Master Gu, I was also thinking that Qiao Qiao usually doesn’t have any friends, so I wanted to take this opportunity to take her around more.”
“Third Miss Qiao is interested,” said Zhong Chenglin. “Qiao Qiao wants to discuss business with us in the next few days.”
Walk?
How?
Didn’t you see that there was someone over there who wanted to tie Qiao Qiao to her waist?
“You guys?”
After pausing for a moment, Qiao Jinwen felt even more embarrassed when she saw that no one was explaining. “So Qiao Qiao is busy with business, then let’s do it next time.”
“Third Sister, you also know that I’m stupid. A poetry gathering or something really isn’t suitable for me. If I ask the Headmaster to buy poems or something, I’m afraid that I’ll run into the situation from last time. Therefore, I won’t participate in any poetry gatherings in the future.”
“Is Qiao Qiao complaining about Third Sister?” Qiao Jinwen looked injured, tears rolling down her eyes.
“Third sister misunderstood, but I think there is no talent in poetry, rather than spend effort to deal with don’t want to deal with the entertainment, it is better to focus on business. Third sister also knows that I like to do business. Father gave me the sub-chapter. I also want to test my skills. Third Sister, don’t misunderstand. I don’t mean to target Third Sister. I know Third Sister’s good intentions, but I … “I purposely pursed my lips and said self-deprecatingly,” It really isn’t that piece of material, so I still want to focus on what I like. ” Third Sister, don’t worry. ”
Qiao Yunxi held Qiao Jinwen’s hand and looked at her sincerely.
‘”You,” Qiao Jinwen poked Qiao Yunxi in the forehead. “Third Sister didn’t say anything about you. She just thought that you would have to learn all these things in the future. It’s good that we sisters practice together. Since you have business to do, of course, it’s important for you to focus on it.”
Because Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Ningdai came uninvited, they interrupted Qiao Xi and the others’ conversation earlier, as if it was intentional. The few of them stopped talking. Qiao Jinwen casually asked a few questions, and the few of them answered perfunctorily.
Qiao Jinwen could also tell that everyone was displeased with her.
She was originally arrogant, willing to condescend to Qiao Xi to meet them, but she was only courteously entertaining them. Since she was not welcomed, there was no need for her to stick her face to her cold butt.
She gave Gu Jinzhen a meaningful look and left cleanly with Qiao Ningdai.
“Does it hurt?” As soon as the two of them left, Gu Jinzhen gently rubbed Qiao Yunxi’s eyebrows with his fingers. The position was exactly where Qiao Jinwen’s fingers had poked earlier.
“I don’t know how to dodge.” Don’t be disgusted. Don’t be disgusted.
Zhong Chenglin and Jin Baijin held their cheeks and looked like they were sore teeth.
“There’s no need to give these two a good look. If you don’t want to socialize, you don’t need to socialize. You don’t need to see them even if you see them!” Gu Jinzhen was on guard against Qiao Jinwen.
In his previous life, he was Qiao Jinwen’s chess piece, so he didn’t know who would be her helper in this life.
Moreover, there was also the most crucial point–the relationship between Fourth Fang and Duanmu Qing.
After he left, he didn’t know if Qiao Qiao would come into contact with Duanmu Qing.
The thought of this possibility made him unable to breathe!
