Chapter 151 Qiao Yuanshan
Chapter 151 Qiao Yuanshan
Bai Zhi was confused by the old name of Brother Yunchuan. It took her a while to react - Zhou Shensi had just returned from his hometown and didn't know that Chu Yunchuan was King Jing.
Qiao Wanwan was holding back her laughter and said before Bai Zhi: "Shensi, you can't call Yunchuan brother anymore."
"Ah?" Zhou Shensi said blankly, "Boss, have you two finished your work? Should I call you Boss?"
Bai Zhi said disdainfully: "The name of Dong Jia Gong is also..."
"Although I haven't married yet, it's not a bad idea to call you Master Dong." Chu Yunchuan said with a smile, "Manager Zhou, this title doesn't sound bad, let's call you that."
This time, Qiao Wanwan was the one who was confused: "What? Who's coming? Who's coming to whose house?"
Bai Zhi: "..."
The situation was so chaotic that it was difficult to explain.
Fortunately, the maid knocked on the door and interrupted the conversation: "Your Highness, General Qiao Yuanshan is here to visit."
Qiao Wanwan stood up suddenly, blinking her eyes non-stop, obviously very nervous. Bai Zhi straightened her clothes and stood up, rubbing the back of her neck vigorously, muttering softly: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, you said don't be nervous."
Chu Yunchuan dusted himself off and stood up: "Please."
The maid offered her hand: "General Qiao, please."
At the entrance of the courtyard, Qiao Yuanshan, dressed in military uniform, walked in with square steps, threw his cape, half-knelt in front of Chu Yunchuan, and clasped his fists, saying loudly: "I, General Qiao Yuanshan, the Border Cavalry General, greet His Royal Highness Prince Jing!"
Chu Yunchuan helped him up and said, "General Qiao, you don't have to be so polite in private."
The two exchanged a few words, and Bai Zhi pushed Qiao Wanwan, who stumbled to the side of Qiao Yuanshan, and saluted with a stiff face, "I am Qiao Wanwan, the captain of the Qing County City Defense Army under the command of the Weizhou Army, and I greet General Qiao."
After hearing these words, Qiao Yuanshan was completely stunned.
He didn't know which one shocked him more: his sister's appearance here or her joining the army.
Chu Yunchuan was very kind to help him out, saying, "Captain Qiao is a daughter of a general. She is skilled in martial arts, brave and resourceful. She has made many contributions to the state of Wei and enjoys great prestige in the army. General Qiao, you are so lucky to have such a sister."
"Your Highness, you are too kind." Qiao Yuanshan quickly understood the whole story and realized that Qiao Wanwan's talk about getting married was all lies. He sighed helplessly and glanced at Chu Yunchuan, "It's just... I just don't know how my sister, a small captain, can ask Your Highness to intercede for me."
What you mean is, are you interested in my sister?
Chu Yunchuan smiled and looked at Bai Zhi: "Captain Qiao and my wife are good friends. I am just acting on their behalf."
Bai Zhi: "..."
This person seems to have a disease where he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't tell others that he and Baizhi are from the same family.
Since the topic had already been brought up, Bai Zhi had no choice but to come out and greet him: "Bai Zhi greets General Qiao."
Qiao Wanwan explained to Qiao Yuanshan in a very light voice: "This is my good friend in the Marquis' Mansion. She was the former Third Madam. She also escaped a disaster because of a divorce."
Bai Zhi always kept this past secret, and there was also Zhou Shensi who was unaware of it at the scene, so Qiao Wanwan did not introduce him openly.
Qiao Yuanshan said without moving his lips, "What you wrote in your letter home is all nonsense. Dad will be furious if he knows. You will have to bear the consequences yourself."
Qiao Wanwan: “…”
"Qiao Yuanshan has met the Empress."
Bai Zhi hurriedly said, "General Qiao, just call me by my name."
Years ago, those secret guards always called her "Niangniang". After Bai Zhi taught them a lesson, they backed off and called her "Miss Bai". Now, she gets creepy when she hears the word "Niangniang".
"My wife is not used to being called Madam, General Qiao can just call her Miss Bai." Chu Yunchuan said with a smile, "General Qiao, I have an important matter to ask you to do. Please move to my study and have a chat."
"Your Highness, please."
There was tea and snacks prepared in the study. As soon as the door was closed, Bai Zhi ordered the secret guards to guard the study room and shouted to the door in her heart: General Qiao! It all depends on you!
Years ago, when Lin Ruogui was interrogating the assassin, he found out that the assassin was from the old subordinate of Sharama in the Barbarian Land, but even the assassin didn't know where the Sharama tribe was. According to Chu Yunchuan, he immediately asked Fang Zhiheng to send people to explore the Barbarian Land, but for several months, his men had been wandering around without a clue and found nothing. After thinking about it, he decided to find someone who was very familiar with the Barbarian Land and loyal to do this.
That is General Qiao Yuanshan, who has been guarding the border for many years.
Qiao Wanwan sat down on the chair, sweating as if she had just survived a disaster: "Oh, luckily, luckily, luckily His Highness helped to intercede."
Bai Zhi spread her hands and said, "Even if Qiansui hadn't interceded, I don't think your elder brother would have done anything to you."
"That's hard to say, my brother..."
"Master!"
There was a sudden scream, and Bai Zhi and Qiao Wanwan looked at Zhou Shensi. She had been silent since Qiao Yuanshan came in, and the expression on her face was not surprising or puzzled, her eyebrows were straight and pulled into eight characters: "You found an incredible lover!"
Bai Zhi: "..."
There's nothing wrong with saying that.
"This is the shop where Prince Jing works. No, this is the shop where Prince Jing never tires of eating." Zhou Shensi turned around in circles, muttering to himself, "Or is it using Princess Jing's name? Hmm... Prince Jing's gimmick is a little more impressive. Boss, why don't you take this opportunity to add two floors to Wenxianglou? There will definitely be a lot of people when we reopen the shop! Let's buy a few more tables and chairs, and then..."
Bai Zhi reminded: "How many people will be needed to build two floors? If the place is crowded with people, you won't be able to finish work on time."
Zhou Shensi stopped in an instant.
"Since you're opening a shop, you have to let the customers finish their meals before closing. You can't chase the customers away as the shopkeeper."
Zhou Shensi's face fell.
Bai Zhi nodded with satisfaction: "So, don't think about Wenxianglou for now, go back and think about milk tea, I'll pay for it and you'll do the work."
Zhou Shensi: "We split the profit 50-50."
Bai Zhi: "It's my fault."
"Where are the shops and the utensils?"
"It's up to you to choose. Once you've bought it, come back and ask me to reimburse you. The subsequent loss will be on my account."
"It depends on the market. How much will it cost if we want to sell other food?"
"You pay for the single-use capital, and we split the profits 50-50. You make up for the loss."
The two of them quickly settled the bill, and Zhou Shensi left with satisfaction.
Qiao Wanwan: "...Have you two always been like this?"
"Even sisters have to settle accounts clearly." Bai Zhi returned to the recliner and continued to bask in the sun. "As Shopkeeper Zhou often said, friendships that can be settled clearly will last long. No one's money comes from the wind, and everyone has places where money can be used."
"That's right. You should save all the dividends you earn from Wenxianglou every month for your family... What is it called, five social insurances and one housing fund?"
"As someone who has parents and children to take care of, and is engaged, I naturally have to make more plans. Right, Qiaoqiao."
After she finished speaking, no one paid any attention to her for a long time.
