Remembering that Qiao Xiaofu had said that Xu Jiye was not very smart, and she was a little disgusted with it, Zhao Jiu felt a lot more at ease: That silly boy who lacks a string will definitely make Xiaofu furious, and it will only take half a day, maybe even half a day,
Xu Jiye will be driven back!
So Zhao Jiu went back to his room to warm up his books.
However, sitting in the room, Zhao Jiu felt agitated in his heart. The words in the book seemed to be on their legs, always jumping around in his eyes, but they looked unsteady!
Especially as the sun sets in the west and Xu Jiye hasn’t come back yet!
Zhao Jiu slapped the unfinished page of the book on the table. After hearing the news, the guards hurried forward: "What are your orders, Master?"
"Go out and walk around. My legs are numb after sitting for a long time."
"...Yes." Guard: You are the prince, and whatever you say is what you say.
Then His Highness the Prince walked towards the powder shop without any surprise.
As we were approaching the powder shop, we met Qiao Xiaofu and Xu Jiye, who were chatting and laughing side by side as they closed the shop and went home.
I don’t know what Xu Jiye said, but Qiao Xiaofu’s round face was so full of smiles that he couldn’t even see his teeth!
His Royal Highness was dazzled by the sight, and couldn't help but ask: "Why are you so happy?"
Qiao Xiaofu replied with a smile: "This guy Xu Jiye was talking about how he used to feed horses crotons at home and was chased and spanked by his grandfather..."
"..." His Royal Highness: In order to make Qiao Xiaofu happy, you even told such embarrassing things?! You, Xu Jiye, are trying too hard?!
However, Xu Jiye even added a desperate sentence: "Ninth Young Master, if you are too busy on weekdays, I can accompany Qiao Xiaofu to visit the shop. I am very good at selling goods. Don't worry."
His Royal Highness: Thank you!
Qiao Xiaofu also nodded in agreement with Xu Jiye's words: "This guy's mouth is actually quite sweet, and the sales volume today is very high!"
"The sales volume is higher than when I was here?" His Royal Highness also seemed to be surprised.
"Yeah. Even higher." Qiao Xiaofu smiled even happier.
Xu Jiye also smiled happily: I didn’t expect that I still have the talent for business!
Anyway, I don’t need to inherit the family business. Why don’t I talk to my dad and grandpa later and go into business myself?
His Royal Highness the Prince is not happy, but he still pretends to be happy: "Congratulations then."
"Thank you... If you weren't free today, I wouldn't have known that Xu Jiye could also sell goods!" Qiao Xiaofu nodded.
His Royal Highness smiled painfully.
Qiao Xiaofu seemed to have just remembered, "By the way, where are you going?"
"I'll take a walk." His Highness the Crown Prince looked indifferent.
"Oh... then you keep walking. We are going home first. Remember to come back early for dinner." Qiao Xiaofu said, waving his hand smartly and leading Xu Jiye away.
Before he had gone twenty meters, and he didn't know what shameless words Xu Jiye said, Qiao Xiaofu laughed again, giggling! Like a little hen laying eggs!
"Is it funny?" His Highness the Crown Prince asked in a low voice. He didn't know whether he was asking himself or Qiao Xiaofu who had walked away.
The guard lowered his head: It's funny. But the little one still wants to live and doesn't dare to be funny.
The next day, when Qiao Xiaofu asked Zhao Jiu again if he had time to see the shop, Zhao Jiu said with a cold face and angrily: "No time."
Xu Jiye said without blinking: "It doesn't matter. If the ninth master is not free, then I will go."
Xu Jiye fell in love with this position and was even ready to develop it into a career!
"Then let's go." Qiao Xiaofu waved his hand gracefully and led Xu Jiye to continue guarding the shop.
His Royal Highness turned back to the backyard angrily.
Xu Jingye looked at the back of Sha Que's younger brother leaving side by side with Qiao Xiaofu, and was deeply worried about his future.
Zhao Xiang smiled meaningfully, turned around and went back to the house, ready to grab things and go on errands. Unexpectedly, when he returned to the house, he found Zhao Jiu in his room.
"Is something wrong?" Zhao Xiang was not surprised at all and just asked quietly.
"Then Xu Jiye is not doing his job all day long, and you don't care about him?" Zhao Jiu asked angrily.
"He is only twelve years old, what kind of job does he have to do?"
"Has he understood all the reading?" Zhao Jiu challenged.
"He does not need to understand the Xu family's military general heirloom." Zhao Xiang lazily leaned against the door frame.
"If you can't understand the book, how can you understand the military book?" Zhao Jiuzhen said plausibly.
"You mean, helping Qiao Xiaofu sell goods is not a real job, but going to school is a real job?"
"Exactly!" Zhao Jiu nodded.
"Then you went to sell goods a few days ago? Is it considered a real job?" Zhao Xiang started to want to laugh, but he had to hold back: he couldn't annoy this person, otherwise it wouldn't be fun if he got angry.
"How can that be the same? I was forced to go. I didn't want to go. It was Qiao Xiaofu who forced me to go!"
"So?" Zhao Xiang asked leisurely.
"So you have to take care of him and don't let him go again!"
"Isn't his eldest brother here? What does his eldest brother's business have to do with me?" Zhao Xiang calmly said.
"You..." Zhao Jiu couldn't argue with Zhao Xiang, and felt from Zhao Xiang's words that Zhao Xiang didn't want to care about this matter. He stamped his feet and turned around to find Qiao Chu.
If the problem cannot be solved from that end, then it should be solved from Qiao Chu's side.
Qiao Chu sensed Zhao Jiu coming over, opened her eyes and stood up: "Looking for me?"
"Yes." Zhao Jiu nodded.
"Follow me to the study room." Qiao Chu took the lead without haste.
Since Qiao Xiaofu and others went to study, Qiao Chu had arranged a study room. At this time, the two younger ones were asleep, and Qiao Xiaofu also went out to open a shop, so the study room was empty.
After entering the study and closing the door, Zhao Jiu said: "You said I couldn't give Qiao Xiaofu happiness, why didn't you stop Xu Jiye and Qiao Xiaofu from getting close?"
"Xu Jiye is different from you." Qiao Chu glanced at Zhao Jiu, still looking lazy.
"What is the difference?"
"He has Xu Jingye above him, so he won't have to be the head of the family in the future." Qiao Chu learned some things about Duke Xu's mansion from Mr. Dongfang's mouth.
"But that doesn't stipulate that Xu Jiye can't have three wives and four concubines!" Zhao Jiu reminded angrily.
"He doesn't dare." Qiao Chu was not anxious at all, let alone angry.
"Why didn't he dare?" Zhao Jiu didn't believe that a half-hearted goddess could still take care of the three wives and four concubines of Xu Guogong's youngest son?
"If he dares, I will break both of his legs." Qiao Chu said calmly.
"..." Zhao Jiu: suddenly choked.
Qiao Chu was obviously just a country woman, how could she dare to openly threaten to break the legs of Xu Guogong's youngest son?
And when she said this, it was easy for people to believe that she was serious? And that she really had this ability?!
It is also a skill for this goddess to do this!
After thinking for a while, Zhao Jiu said dejectedly: "So you support Xu Jiye and Qiao Xiaofu being together?"
"...When did I say that?" Qiao Chu suspected that he didn't express himself clearly, or that the other party had a problem with his understanding?!
"Then what do you mean?" Zhao Jiu felt confused again.
"I don't prevent Xiaofu from dating any man, nor do I prevent Xiaofu from rejecting any man. After all, she is still young and doesn't understand these things... But there is a premise: no man can play with Xiaofu's feelings." Qiao Chu's
His expression became serious.
"I didn't..." Zhao Jiu wanted to complain, but just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Qiao Chu's serious look.
"Perhaps you don't want to hurt her, you just can't take responsibility? In this case, then thinking about it is a kind of harm." Qiao Chu's voice gradually became colder, and his momentum also increased.
"Xiaofu can fail in business, can make money and be schemed against, I'm not afraid of that..." For Qiao Xiaofu, this kind of setback will only make her more and more courageous.
"But it can't be done in matters of marriage! She can't bear such hurt...I won't allow it either." Qiao Chu's momentum suddenly reached its peak.
His Royal Highness felt as if he was facing an abyss, horrified and frightened!
