Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 198
Chapter 198 An Urgent Matter
“It would be easy if we hired a Shu brocade weaver.”
The two siblings talked to themselves and flipped through the picture album.
Qiao Yunxi was bored and walked to the window.
The window of this VIP room faces inwards, so what Qiao Yunxi sees is the backyard of the “Shu Xiu Pavilion”.
The backyard of the “Shu Xiu Pavilion” was divided into two parts. The first few rooms were real VIP rooms, only receiving the families of the officials and the women of the wealthy families. In the back, it was where the guys were resting.
“It is indeed the capital. Even people are divided into 369 grades.” Qiao Yunxi sighed and suddenly frowned.
“Qiao Qiao, come take a look at this. Why do I feel that it’s similar to our new trick?” Qiao Jinwen rubbed the sample several times with her fingers, feeling the quality of the sample.
The sample was square with only the size of a palm. It was really hard to distinguish. It could only be seen that the pattern dyed by the sample was very similar to Qiao Family’s new pattern. Qiao Jinwen’s heart was alarmed and she hurriedly called Qiao Yunxi.
“Qiao Qiao?” Seeing that Qiao Yunxi did not move, Qiao Jinwen raised her head irritably.
What time is it? He is still absent-minded. If the Qiao Family’s property is handed over to this idiot, it would be strange if they are not defeated!
“Qiao Qiao, what are you looking at?” Qiao Jinwen was furious.
“Oh, oh.” Qiao Yunxi hurriedly nodded, his gaze still falling out of the window.
Qiao Jinwen rushed over angrily and followed Qiao Yunxi’s gaze, “What are you looking at?”
“Third sister,” Qiao Yunxi pointed to somewhere, “is that person from Qiao Family?”
“Qiao Clan?” Qiao Jinwen snorted coldly, “Are you crazy? How could the Qiao Family …”
Here.
Before Qiao Jinwen could finish her sentence, her voice suddenly stopped.
“What’s the matter?” Qiao Yi also followed Qiao Jinwen’s gaze and noticed that something was wrong.
The backyard of the “Shu Xiu Pavilion” was not big, there were no trees planted, only a few pots of potted plants were placed, so when looking from top to bottom, the line of sight was very good.
“Third Sister, isn’t that person from the Qiao Clan? I look familiar. I thought it was from the Qiao Clan. Looks like I made a mistake.” Qiao Xi’s attitude of admitting her mistake was very good.
“San’er …”
“Second brother, do you recognize him?” Qiao Jinwen sneered.
Qiao Yunxi leaned over and said, “Third sister, what’s wrong?”
“Someone from the second room.” Qiao Jinwen looked at the man sinisterly as he walked towards the backyard. Instead of going to the VIP room, she directly passed through the rooms in front of her and arrived at the inner yard, where the stewards worked and the staff rested.
She still had the ability to distinguish the layout, so she was sure that she was not mistaken.
The only people who could go directly to the inner courtyard were those from the “Shu Xiu Pavilion”.
How could the people in the second room be from the “Shu Xiu Pavilion”?
“The people from the second room?” Qiao Yunxi said after knowing it, “The people from the second room have also arrived in the capital?” Why didn’t he contact us? Why did he go to the ‘Shu Xiu Pavilion’? He definitely didn’t buy Shu brocade. Although the Shu brocade of the Shu Embroidery Pavilion is good, it’s not as good as ours in Qiao Family. Could it be that the people from the second room also know about the Shu Embroidery Pavilion, so they sent him to test the truth? Third Sister, look, he’s heading straight for the warehouse. Will he be caught? Should we go help him? ”
Qiao Yunxi anxiously grabbed Qiao Jinwen’s hand and jumped on the spot.
Idiot!
Annoyed and angry, Qiao Jinwen fiercely shook off Qiao Yunxi’s hand.
The people from the second room came to “Shu Xiu Pavilion” to investigate the truth?
Haha, why didn’t she know that Second Fang had such a high level of awareness?
“Third sister?” Qiao Yunxi was still asking for Qiao Jinwen’s opinion.
“There’s no need. We’ll only be helpless if we go. Since the people from the second room are in the capital, we can contact them at any time.”
Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Yi took Qiao Yunxi downstairs after taking a deep look in the direction where the man had disappeared.
Qiao Jinwen and Qiao Yi couldn’t hide anything because of the situation halfway through, so they directly went back to the rented courtyard.
Qiao Yunxi ate dinner in his bedroom. Huang Qi kept an eye on Qiao Jinwen’s bedroom next door until midnight when Qiao Jinwen came back with a tired expression.
Qiao Xi slept soundly and the breakfast was still delivered by Nanny Shen, who didn’t know how the people in the fourth bedroom slept at night.
Huang Qi’s eyebrows were fluttering as she talked about the matter next door. Her voice was very low and her eyes were shining.
“Miss, that was the situation last night.” Huang Qi heaved a sigh of relief after he finished speaking in one breath.
“Interesting now. I wonder what Old Four Qiao will do. It seems that we still have to stay in the capital for a while.”
With Qiao Lao Si’s caution and suspicion, he would definitely investigate the Shu Xiu Pavilion before returning. At the very least, he had to figure out what role Second Fang played in the Shu Xiu Pavilion-was it the property that the people from Second Fang had set up a new stove to buy, or was it the people from Second Fang who had joined in and developed the power.
Among them, the one that Qiao Lao Si cared about the most was probably Shu Jin.
Everyone in the Qiao Clan was peeping at the so-called secret recipe. Qiao Lao Si was especially concerned about the quality of Shu brocade. The new Shu brocade from the Qiao Clan’s front foot and the “Shu Embroidery Pavilion” from the back foot had almost the same quality and style. It would be strange if he wasn’t anxious!
Everyone said that fat water didn’t flow out of outsiders’ fields, but Second Brother Qiao brazenly became a mole!
Moreover, with Qiao Lao Si’s brain, he must have filled in all sorts of possibilities.
Fourth Master Qiao was indeed annoyed.
Judging from the contradictions between the houses in Qiao Family, the people from the second house started a new stove not only for the sake of money, but also for the sake of doing business with influential people in the capital. The second house must have made a great backer and developed better than eldest branch.
Out of the few rooms that he thought he was, the four most promising rooms in the future were actually inferior to Shu Fang. How could Old Fourth Qiao be willing to do that?
The most hateful thing was that Second Fang had such a good relationship and backing, so he didn’t tell the Qiao Family immediately, but planned it himself.
He had already asked, “Shu Xiu Pavilion” was opened in the capital five years ago, so the people from the second room had started to plan it at least five years ago!
“What a deep hiding!” Fourth Master Qiao angrily waved his sleeves and swept the teapot off the table.
He stood by the window and looked out at the azure brick wall with scarlet eyes.
Five years!
The people from Second Fang started five years earlier than the people from Fourth Fang!
He couldn’t catch up to Fang II even if he was in a carriage.
“Father, the situation may not be as bad as we thought.” Qiao Yi comforted.
Fourth Master Qiao’s expression was very bad, but he still looked at Qiao Yi and waited for him to explain.
“Father, don’t you know what second uncle’s temperament is? Even if he pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, with his ability and wrist … It’s not that his son underestimates him. He doesn’t have that much ability, let alone that good luck. His son believes that Old aunt Zhang is most likely in charge of this, and third uncle definitely doesn’t know.”
“Oh?” Fourth Master Qiao was interested.
Qiao Yi continued, “Second uncle and third uncle, my son thinks that third uncle is the one we need to guard against. The only reason why concubine mother Zhang is so protective of second uncle is because he has the word’long ‘. Back then, concubine mother Zhang had placed all her hopes on second uncle, hoping that he could contend against big uncle.” “I gave all my resources to Second Uncle. If Concubine Zhang were to change people now, Concubine Zhang would definitely be unwilling and unwilling, because changing people would mean her failure.”
Fourth Master Qiao listened thoughtfully.
With Old aunt Zhang’s ability, his son did not believe that he had come to the capital five years ago to open the Shu Xiu Pavilion. Second Fang did not have such great financial resources, nor did he have such extensive connections. Therefore, his son believed that Second Fang was only one of the owners of the Shu Xiu Pavilion, and was also a very small owner. His son had carefully scrutinized it before, Although Shu Xiu Pavilion was famous before, “However, the things in the shop are similar to those in other Shu brocade shops. Those nobles also came for the background of the Shu Embroidery Building. From the beginning of this year, the quality of the Shu brocade in the Shu Embroidery Building is not only good, but there are also a lot of colors and patterns. Therefore, my son guessed that most of the people in the second room would only cooperate with the Shu Embroidery Building after the New Year.”
“Bastard!” Fourth Master Qiao roared angrily, “Take the Qiao Clan’s cooking skills and do business with others. If the Qiao Clan is not defeated by that idiot Qiao Xi, it will also be defeated by Second Brother Qiao!”
“Father, son think, the top priority is to figure out the details of the Shu embroidery building, then figure out how the second room is to send color and design, and contact here. Those weavers didn’t need to think about it to know that it was definitely someone from the Second Fang who had brought them from Shu Zhou. Every quarter, we will launch new designs and designs. Once our finished products are out, there will be many people imitating them and there won’t be any shortage of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Therefore, my son is not very worried about this. As long as we can find evidence that Second Fang is colluding with this side, we’ll be able to handle it. “After all, our Qiao Family hasn’t split up yet. Second uncle is still surnamed Qiao.”
This is simple.
Fourth Master Qiao wasn’t worried about how to deal with Second Fang.
Just as Qiao Yi had said, the Qiao Clan had yet to split up. If Second Fang did such a thing, it was entirely possible for him to leave the house and implicate the people of Third Fang. To take a step back, even if he couldn’t handle Second Fang, wouldn’t he still have a clan leader?
As long as Second Brother Qiao was still surnamed “Qiao” and there was his name on the genealogy, he wouldn’t be able to escape!
Things are going to get big, it’s going to the capital, it’s going to the Shu Embroidery Pavilion, maybe it can even collapse the Shu Embroidery Pavilion!
Moreover, concubine mother Zhang was so partial to Second Fang, so how could the people from Third Fang not have any thoughts?
When Fourth Master Qiao thought of this, his mood calmed down slightly.
“The most important thing is to figure out how Second Fang contacted the ‘Shu Xiu Pavilion’ and send the items out.”
In fact, Fourth Master Qiao had a faint guess at this point.
A while ago, he was busy dealing with the matters of the Internal Affairs Department. The people from the few rooms could freely enter and exit the textile mill. Most of the people from the second room stole trade secrets at that time and sent them to the capital.
Qiao Family’s Shu brocade was divided into several grades. The highest grade was like this batch that was sent to the Internal Affairs Department. It used Qiao Family’s secret recipe. From drawing, weaving to dyeing, the entire process was very secret. This was a secret only Qiao Xingbang knew.
The middle-grade ones were the ones that Second Qiao had stolen. Their craftsmanship had also been improved, and they were better than the ordinary Shu brocade outside. The people they targeted were also people with status, status, and willingness to spend money.
The last stall was an ordinary stall. The ones sold outside were basically this type of Shu brocade.
