Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 180

“It’s easy to do things with money. Anything that can be bought with money is easy to say.” Zhong Chenglin said with great wealth.
Qiao Xi looked at him with a strange expression. “Did you know?”
Zhong Chenglin smiled and remained silent.
Qiao Xi did not dwell on this matter anymore. Instead, she asked, “Then our business is up to you. Whether or not we can become imperial merchants depends on you.”
Zhong Chenglin nodded, “How are you going to deal with Qiao Family?”
“Play,” Qiao Xi said indifferently. “Old Four Qiao is so embarrassed not to let him get what he wants from becoming an Emperor Merchant.”
“That’s good. It’s cruelest to see a little bit of it slip away.”
Two and a half-year-old children were sitting under the sycamore tree, holding Mingqian tea. Yun Dan Feng said softly that it was related to human life.
“By the way, Qingming tomorrow, the old witch is going to be tormented again, right?” Zhong Chenglin asked.
“Tomorrow, I’m going back to the clan to worship my ancestors. Qiao Linzi will also drop by. After all, she’s buried in the ancestral tomb and temple, so there’s probably no need to go.”
“Old hag is really willing to do it for Qiao Linzi.” Zhong Chenglin curled his lips.
After a pause, Zhong Chenglin seemed to have remembered something important. He said inadvertently, “This time, it’s all thanks to Jin Zhen. Otherwise, we would have missed this opportunity.”
Qiao Xi nodded.
Zhong Chenglin said, “Qiao Qiao, how can we thank Jin Zhen?”
“Thank him for what?” Qiao Yunxi asked curiously.
Zhong Chenglin silently ordered wax for Gu Jinzhen and said, “Without him, we wouldn’t have lost money on buying so many tea leaves.”
Haha!
Qiao Yunxi looked sideways at Zhong Chenglin.
Do you really think she’s a child and doesn’t know anything?
If Gu Jinzhen hadn’t made the arrangements, he wouldn’t have let Zhong Chenglin buy so many tea leaves at such a high price. Although they had plans to disrupt the tea market in southern Sichuan, they wouldn’t be so fast and resolute.
Doing business is like fighting a war. Who doesn’t think about it, think about it, and then make a decision?
Zhong Chenglin rubbed his nose and said, “If we can do business with the Internal Affairs Department, that’s Jin Zhen’s credit. Qiao Qiao, tell me, when Jin Zhen comes back, shall we treat him to a meal?”
“Alright.”
Just a meal?
Sure enough, Zhong Chenglin said, “Actually, Jin Zhen is quite bitter in the border. You know about the matter at the Duke of Ding Manor, he has been with Duke Zhen Yuan since he was six years old. He has no mother to love him, no father to love him. He is a soldier, and he can still receive letters from his family. He has nothing.”
“So?” Qiao Xi asked.
Zhong Chenglin approached her cheekily and said, “Look, that brat’s best friend is the two of us. Why don’t we write to him?”
“Letter?” Qiao Yunxi looked at Zhong Chenglin with amusement.
This fellow had really gone all out.
However, what the hell was writing a letter to Gu Jinzhen?
She didn’t think that her relationship with Gu Jinzhen was good enough to communicate with each other by letter.
He decisively refused.
“Qiao Qiao, it’s just a letter. It’s nothing.”
“Since it’s nothing, then you can write it.”
“I definitely want to write it. Let’s do it together.”
Qiao Yunxi looked at him vigilantly, “What do you want to do?”
“Just find someone to write to Jin Zhen with me, so that he won’t be alone.” Zhong Chenglin said pitifully.
Qiao Yunxi looked at Zhong Chenglin carefully and said, “Speak.”
Say what?
Naturally, it was the goal.
Zhong Chenglin bit his cheek.
Martin!
Who said that this girl was easy to cheat!
He almost betrayed himself!
However, if he was unwilling, then he was unwilling!
Thinking about the consequences of not completing the mission, Zhong Chenglin threw out his sleeves. “Jin Zhen doesn’t have any friends, so we’re just familiar with each other. Besides, I’m also working with you on behalf of him. So, I thought, why don’t we write a letter to him, so that he won’t be alone in the border?”
Qiao Xi didn’t believe Zhong Chenglin’s words, but Zhong Chenglin had already said so. It wasn’t that she really didn’t understand the world, she was just writing a letter.
“Alright.”
“Also … what? What did you say?”
Qiao Yunxi’s eyes were white.
…
Southern Xinjiang, encampment.
Southern Xinjiang has a humid climate, few people and dense forests, so there is miasma all year round.
The boundaries between the dynasty and the barbarians were bounded by these dense forests. One side of the dense forest was the dynasty, and the other side was the barbarians.
However, this boundary was not absolute. Both sides were eager to test the boundary, and no one dared to cross it easily.
The barbarians were afraid of the Shen Clan army of the Duke of Zhen Yuan, while the dynasty was afraid of the barbarians’ poison and insects.
The encampment was located outside the dense forest, along the vegetation. Its range was extremely wide and scattered. Therefore, it was an extremely test of one’s ability and the ability of a group to fight.
Gu Jinzhen sat in the Commander-in-Chief’s tent and looked at the sand table in front of him with a solemn expression.
Shen’s Army has been stationed here for more than 30 years. It can be said that he has basically figured out this land boundary. This sand table is the landform of this dense forest. Except …
He looked down at the south.
This was the barbarian barbarians’ military center, and just like where he was stationed, it was the place where they wanted to find out more about each other.
After so many years, apart from where the two sides were stationed, the two sides had already figured out the entire dense forest.
There was a deadlock on both sides.
Although this was also a kind of checks and balances, this kind of checks and balances was not stable. Whoever was well-informed had the first chance.
Gu Jinzhen sat back on the desk irritably and looked at the two stacks of letters on the table. Most of the letters were from the warriors, while the others were from the capital.
“Someone.”
“Master.” Tang Yuan, dressed in military uniform, appeared at the entrance of the tent.
“Send all of this.” Gu Jinzhen pointed to the letter on his left.
There was no restriction on the soldiers writing letters, but the management was extremely strict. In order to prevent the leakage of military information, every letter had to be opened for inspection. Whether it was sent or received, only after there were no problems with the inspection would it be sent out. Although there is a suspicion of prying into privacy, but at an unusual time, very treat. However, the specific operation was also very fast. Because there weren’t many men recruited, let alone literate, there was a fixed day every month in the army. Military counselors and the others would write on their behalf. The men would dictate and write a letter to their families.
Apart from letters, there were also deliveries. Gu Jinzhen did not restrict the freedom of these people, as long as the war could not be delayed.
Tang Yuan walked out with something familiar in his arms. A moment later, he came back again, “Master! Master!”
“Good grandson.” Gu Jinzhen said quietly.
Tang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and his previously anxious appearance instantly calmed down by three points.
“Speak.” Gu Jinzhen was impatient.
Something that could make Tang Yuan lose his composure should be a big deal.
However, Tang Yuan was no longer in a hurry. “Master, those letters are being checked by my subordinates. There are not many letters this time. There are only about ten of the five thousand people in the camp, and a few of them have been checked. No problem.”
Gu Jinzhen nodded.
Tang Yuan stood motionless.
Gu Jinzhen looked at him with a faint smile, “Let’s get down to business.”
“Master, this subordinate just wants to ask, what should we do with the questionable letters?”
Gu Jinzhen frowned.
This had never happened in the barracks before. The Marquis of Zhen Yuan’s army had been stationed here for decades, and the soldiers had changed successively. There were at least tens of thousands of letters and parcels in the barracks, and there had never been any mistakes.
“Bring it over. I’ll handle it myself.” He wanted to see who was not afraid of death and actually dared to pry into military intelligence!
Tang Yuan excitedly held the questionable letter in his hands and placed it on the desk. Without waiting for Gu Jinzhen to arrange it, he quickly retreated.
After taking a deep look at his excited subordinate, Gu Jinzhen turned his gaze to the book table.
His body stiffened!
Although he tried his best to restrain himself, his awkward posture was still not difficult to see the trembling caused by his excitement.
As he probed, he carefully reached out and picked up the letter on the table.
The names of the two people above were very eye-catching.
One was his, the other was Qiao Xi’s.
Qiao Qiao wrote to him!
Gu Jinzhen smiled foolishly as he pressed the envelope on his chest and took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to stabilize his emotions.
Although he knew that there were QinBing guarding the tent and no one would intrude, Gu JinZhen still instructed with a straight face. He lifted his outer robe and sat down steadily.
Hu!
Gu Jinzhen heavily breathed out a mouthful of turbid air before carefully tearing open the seal on the envelope.
After reading it at a glance, Jump, who was suppressing his excitement in his heart, carefully read it again. After finishing, he felt that it was not satisfying. He read it twice at the speed of a turtle that had read it ten times before gently putting down the letter. The smile at the corner of her mouth was still there, and she thought regretfully, If only Qiao Qiao could write a few more pages.
Unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, Gu Jinzhen immediately picked up his pen and wrote back a letter. However, the letters in the army weren’t that frequent, so it would take a long time for this letter to be sent out.
Therefore, when the excitement in his heart was squandered along with the emotions between the lines, Gu Jinzhen’s emotions stabilized and he carefully put the letter into the secret compartment.
There was still some time before Unity sent the letter, so he could replenish it at any time and see if there was anything good to deliver to Qiao Qiao.
Therefore, when Qiao Yunxi received Gu Jinzhen’s diary-style reply, his face was filled with confusion.
Zhong Chenglin reacted quickly and quickly found a reasonable explanation for his best friend. “Jin Zhen, this brat has a bit of a conscience. He knows that we are interested in the Southern Region, so he described it in great detail. When the time comes, we won’t even need to hire a guide.”
“Is that so?” Qiao Yunxi asked doubtfully.
Zhong Chenglin gritted his teeth and went all out. “Isn’t that so? We’re doing business in all directions. We should go anywhere. If we go and take a look, we might discover business opportunities.”
That’s right.
Because of traffic restrictions and the influence of the geographical environment, this place was flooded to the point that no one wanted it. Perhaps it was somewhere else, a treasure that everyone was flocking to, but a merchant?
Qiao Yunxi thought of a popular slogan in his previous life-nature’s porters.
“Qiao Qiao, don’t look at Jin Zhen’s long-winded writing. It’s like bookkeeping. He reports everything he does and eats every day. Actually, it’s also a reference for us. What if we go over and don’t accept the situation? So, this is also a reference for us.” For the sake of his good friend, Zhong Chenglin also went all out.
