Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 190
Chapter 190 Swing
Qiao Yunxi turned his head and looked at Qiao Jinwen with extreme seriousness.
Perhaps because the substance in her eyes was too strong, Qiao Jinwen uncomfortably avoided her gaze.
“Third Sister, if you feel that you have dragged down our long room, then leave the long room.”
“Qiao Qiao wants to split up?” Qiao Jinwen asked unintentionally.
Qiao Yunxi smiled. “Third sister, it’s not me, it’s you.”
The sisters made it clear.
Qiao Jinwen said, “Qiao Qiao, Third Sister is just reminding you that Qiao Family is now an imperial merchant. This is a privilege my father brought to Qiao Family.”
“So, our Changfang wants to give up the position of head?”
“Shouldn’t I?” “Without my father, our Qiao Clan is still just an ordinary merchant. At most, we are living in Shu Prefecture. In the eyes of the people of the capital, we are no different from a country bumpkin,” Qiao Jinwen said sharply. The Jincheng Chamber of Commerce was only a small local guild, and when they got to the capital, they were nothing more than a guild. The Qiao Clan has indeed improved a lot in the past few years, but in the end, it’s just a small fight. We all know that the Qiao Clan has reached a saturation point, and it’s almost impossible for them to develop further. ”
“And then?” Qiao Yunxi looked at Qiao Jinwen leisurely.
Qiao Jinwen said proudly, “Now is the opportunity for Qiao Family. Qiao Qiao, you also know what Emperor Shang means, right?”
“So?” Qiao Xi was too lazy to deal with Qiao Jinwen and directly asked.
“Qiao Qiao, if you really want to help Qiao Family, then hand over the secondary seal to my father. Eldest Uncle is on the manor, on the textile mill’s side, and my father will help you so that you won’t miss the matter of the Internal Affairs Office.”
“Otherwise?” Qiao Yunxi asked amusedly.
Qiao Jinwen frowned. It was obvious that she had also discovered that she had been led by Qiao Xi’s nose. However, when she thought of her purpose in coming to the East courtyard, she could only say patiently, “If Qiao Qiao wants to bet on the future of the Qiao family, Third Sister can’t do anything about it. However, I’m afraid the first person in the clan would not agree!”
Indeed.
Qiao Yunxi secretly laughed.
Was she going to use the strength of her clansmen to force her to hand over the sub-seal?
Old hag is smart.
Knowing that it was unrealistic to ask the Changfang to hand over the seal, Qiao Xingbang was the Qiao Clan’s solemn Clan Head. Not to mention the old witch, even the old Clan Chief was not qualified to ask Qiao Xingbang to hand over the position of Clan Head, so he could only ask for the second time and put his ideas on her.
“Third sister, do I look that easy to bully?” Qiao Yunxi pointed at his nose and asked.
Qiao Jinwen gritted her teeth and said, “It’s not that easy to bully. I just hope you know the times.”
“Smart?” Qiao Xi asked in a funny manner, “Changfang handed over the property to Fourth Fang with both hands? I don’t understand. They’re all from the Qiao Family, and the Northern Court can’t accommodate our people from the Eastern Court?”
East courtyard?
An unknown bastard from somewhere actually dared to call himself someone from the Eastern Campus!
Qiao Jinwen was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but she did not dare to tell the truth. Even if she had those things in her hand, she did not dare to take them out. This was the place where she was most irritated.
“I’ll be right in front of you. You can handle the rest yourself.” Qiao Jinwen knew that with her ability, she could not shake Qiao Yunxi at all. She had just been addicted to her mouth.
Therefore, when the old patriarch and the respected elders of the clan appeared in the flower hall in the afternoon, Qiao Jinwen, who had calmed down, sat upright and obedient.
As usual, the old patriarch said a few passionate introductory words. Then, he changed the topic and spoke about Qiao Family becoming an Emperor Merchant.
This is not only a major event for Qiao Family, “Qiao Qiao, this month we are going to rush a batch of Shu brocades to the capital. You know, this is our first time delivering goods. Whether or not the goods can enter the noble’s eyes is related to whether or not we can continue to be imperial merchants in the future.”
Qiao Yunxi disagreed.
Truth be told, there are many merchants who know how to weave Shu brocade. Although Shu brocade, Shu brocade is stained with the word “Shu”, it is not the exclusive property of Shu Prefecture. Previously, there were merchants who managed to do business in the Imperial Palace. There are not many more Qiao Family, and not many Qiao Family.
However, the business of the imperial palace was a big deal in the eyes of the Qiao family, so it wasn’t strange for the entire clan to send out people.
“Originally, this matter was supposed to rejuvenate the country, but Jing Shu was pregnant and raised a child in the manor. Although the matter of the Emperor Shang was related to the future of the Qiao family, the heirs of the eldest family were even more important. Whether Jing Shu was a man or a woman, it was a happy occasion for the eldest family. The happy occasion of the Qiao family is also a happy occasion for our entire clan.”
Qiao Yunxi curled his lips.
Anyone can say good things.
Listen to the old patriarch, as if their eldest branch was going to save an ancestor.
Sure enough, the elder waved his hand and said, “Qiao Qiao, we are here to discuss the matter of the textile mill with you. It is not convenient for your father to give you all the rights. Logically speaking, your uncles should help you with all their might, but you don’t have much experience in this field. If anything goes wrong, it will affect several generations in Qiao Family.”
“The patriarch is right,” Qiao Yunxi interrupted the old patriarch and said respectfully. “I also thought of that, so I invited my father back.”
“Joe …”
Qiao Xi acted calmly and interrupted Old Madam Qiao’s words unceremoniously.
“Grandmother, Patriarch, Qiao Qiao knows that you care about the eldest house. You don’t want father to be distracted at this critical juncture. However, the goods delivered to the Internal Affairs Department are also very important to our Qiao family. Father is not an ignorant person. The future of the Qiao family is more important than the children of the eldest house. The eldest house is also dependent on the existence of the Qiao family.” Qiao Xi’s words were perfect.
The faces of Old Madam Qiao and the Old Patriarch were extremely ugly.
Although they already knew that it was not easy to obtain a seal from Qiao Xi, no one really put her in their eyes. She was only a teenager, and she was a bit more shrewd than before. In their eyes, she was only instigated by the Gu Clan’s people. Qiao Xi was still useless without the Gu Clan’s people.
At most, he had to put in some effort to slowly conspire.
Who would have thought that Qiao Xi would actually call Qiao Xingbang back?
Old Madam Qiao’s expression darkened.
Their original plan was to forget about the secret recipe. It was a secret only the Patriarch knew. Then, they would start with the Vice-Chapter.
Qiao Xi had always been easy to deceive. As long as she got the sub-seal, she would have a lot of power in her hands. Sooner or later, she would figure out those secrets. At that time, she would split up. The relationship between the Internal Affairs Department and the Imperial Merchant Department would naturally be in the hands of Fourth Fang. The Qiao clan would still curry favor with Fourth Fang.
Moreover …
Fourth Master Qiao thought a little further.
If he got the secret recipe, even if Qiao Xingbang wasn’t from Qiao Family, the people in the clan would only be able to eliminate him from the clan, but they wouldn’t do anything to Old Madam Qiao, because they still had to rely on Fourth Bedroom.
Therefore, the secret recipe was the key. If he wanted to preserve Old Madam Qiao and his position as his direct son in the future, he had to obtain the secret recipe!
Fourth Master Qiao didn’t care if he could continue to receive the support of his clansmen. On the contrary, he was extremely disgusted with these relatives who only knew how to play the autumn wind. However, as long as Qiao Family was still on the Qiao Clan Genealogy, they would have to raise these blood-sucking leeches. Moreover, Qiao Family had now become an Emperor Merchant.
It would be great if they could separate from the clan before splitting up.
He thought a little too far.
When Fourth Master Qiao came to his senses, he saw the atmosphere in the flower hall was heavy and said, “Patriarch, mother, since Qiao Qiao invited Big Brother back, then Big Brother should be in charge. I can rest assured. Big Brother has always handled these matters, and we have no experience.”
“I haven’t done it. Where did you get the experience?” Old Madame Qiao said unhappily, “The more inexperienced you are, the more you should be allowed to do it. They are all from Qiao Family, and they are also from Qiao Family. Do you still need to be so clear about the difference?” “Besides, the Internal Affairs Department is Childe Gu’s relationship. Childe Gu is your friend. You have to change people rashly. You have to start all over again. If you don’t waste time, you will offend others. The people outside think that Fourth Brother can’t handle the heavy responsibility. That’s why we, Qiao Family, want to change people.” The last sentence sounded awkward even though it was meant to protect Fourth Brother.
Fourth Master Qiao’s face darkened as he pretended to be generous and said, “Mother, we are all family. Why should we say such kind words? It’s good that Big Brother is back. I’m still in charge of the Internal Affairs Department. Of course, Big Brother is the only one who can rest assured when he looks at us from the textile mill. We also need Big Brother to arrange the place at the Embroidery Pavilion.”
Although he spoke with a calm tone, his cheeks were tightly clenched!
The Qiao Clan’s Shu brocade was famous. Other than the so-called secret recipe, it was also Shu embroidery.
The Qiao family’s embroidery building is very famous, Fourth Master Qiao focused his thoughts on Shu embroidery, Over the years, he had secretly dug out quite a few people from the Qiao Clan’s embroidery building. The reason why he didn’t open the shop for himself was because those people couldn’t see the light and couldn’t be found out by the Qiao family that he had poached them. In addition, the business here had always been bad. He didn’t have the mood to care about Shu embroidery. It was unimaginable that his actions many years ago were similar to being angry, but now they had brought him so many surprises.
Therefore, even if the Dao of Fortune came, it wouldn’t be able to block it.
Old Madame Qiao knew her son the best, so she didn’t say anything when she heard Fourth Master Qiao’s words.
The old patriarch, who had never benefited from the Qiao Clan, became even darker.
If he hadn’t thought about getting more benefits from Qiao Family in the future, he wouldn’t have gone to Qiao Family again and again to do these thankless things. He also knew that Qiao Family was at odds with his heart, and it was only a matter of time before he split up. As a member of the Qiao Clan that depended on Qiao Family, standing was extremely important to the team.
In the past, although the people from the Changfang Clan were not liked by Old Madam Qiao, where was Qiao Xingbang’s ability? In the open and in the dark, he was mostly someone who protected the Changfang Clan, but he would not lose face to Old Madam Qiao. No matter how arrogant the Qiao Clan was, they would not offend him rashly.
Right now, Fang Si’s rise made him waver.
He knew Young Master Gu’s identity.
Rather than saying that the Qiao Clan was now an imperial merchant, it was better to say that Fourth Fang was the imperial merchant. It would be sooner or later for Fourth Fang to replace Long Fang.
