Chapter 469: The Qiao family members don’t engage in intrigue?
Qiao Zhizhi covered her mouth and laughed, "I earned over a million taels. Jian'er also bought a large courtyard with four entrances and a large garden and pond, which cost me three hundred thousand taels."
What? The Qiao family thought they had heard it wrong and were all shocked.
They thought they had a strong tolerance for this, but when they heard this number, it still seemed unreal.
But for Jianer, this is definitely not false.
Everyone finally came to their senses, only to feel their heartbeats racing and it was difficult to return to normal.
This is a number that makes people excited just thinking about it. They thought that it would take the Qiao family twenty years at most, or at least ten years, to earn this amount.
"Okay, when the time comes, everyone should get started and plant medicinal herbs all over the mountains." said Qiao Lao San.
Follow Jianer to do big things and make big money.
"I want to see what the capital looks like." Da Meng asked curiously.
"Then let's go together and visit the Qiao family's home in the capital." Before Qiao Jian'er set off, he had instructed the chef to prepare a large and sumptuous table in the evening to welcome his uncle and brothers.
Dacheng: "But then there will be no leader in the camp."
"It's simple, just appoint a few military leaders." Qiao Jianer said casually.
Now that the man from the Qiao family is a captain, he can decide the candidates for the following positions.
"We've been trekking thousands of miles for a month straight. It's tough, but we've carefully screened those with the best endurance and composure. And considering their usual performance, you can decide for yourself."
Boss Qiao patted his head and immediately did it. Why wasn't his brain half as flexible as Jianer's?
Qiao Laosan also shook his head and smiled, feeling full of admiration in his heart.
Then he talked about how Qiao Zhizhi specially hired a teacher to teach her how to draw and read.
"There are several amazing female painters in the capital. That's my dream," said Qiao Zhizhi.
Everyone encouraged her.
Qiao Jianer noticed that the smile on Lu's face was unnatural and seemed a little out of place among them.
She understood it immediately. Everyone wants to be a more valuable person, and no one wants to be someone who only does housework.
Especially now, the Qiao family has plenty of money to hire servants, and the women in the family will never have to deal with these things again.
They are suitable for a better platform to display their talents.
"Third Aunt, I'm going to buy a big shop when I get home. I'll put it in your name and sell nuts there. You'll be the proprietress. You'll keep half of the money and give me half."
Mrs. Lu was surprised. She didn't expect that she would become the proprietress of a big shop as soon as she arrived in the capital. Just now, she was still feeling inferior. She had no other skills and was old, so she didn't know what to learn. Unlike Zhizhi, she had discovered her own talents and was full of fighting spirit.
"Sickle——" Mrs. Lu's eyes were hot.
"Third Aunt, we're family, you're welcome. Besides, you're already experienced in managing a shop and attracting customers. I think this should suit you."
"Well, I will definitely do my best to live up to your kindness."
"However, the quality of the nuts is only average, and they are sold to customers with average conditions. In my place, I cater to upper-class customers, so that I can maximize my profits."
What do those nobles eat? They eat things that ordinary people cannot eat, or even if ordinary people can eat them, they cannot eat the quality that they eat, which gives them a sense of superiority.
"According to Jianer, Jianer's arrangement is the best." Mrs. Lu held Qiao Jianer's hand, full of gratitude.
After the eldest and third Qiaos selected the soldiers and gave them instructions, the Qiao family members went to the capital.
After entering the city gate and walking along the street, the Qiao family members opened their eyes wide, and Da Meng even exclaimed in amazement.
It was almost dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun had cast a hazy orange hue over the capital. The light reflected from the eaves, appearing too gorgeous to be real. From the distant Drum Tower came the sound of drums announcing the time, so solemn that it inspired awe.
After entering the house, the Qiao family was once again shocked by the size of the house. The house had four courtyards, and it took quite a while just to walk to the hall of the second courtyard.
Qiao Jianer told everyone about their rooms and asked housekeeper Chai to pick a good shop on the main street, as close to their residence as possible.
Mrs. Lu listened silently, feeling warm in her heart.
Then, Qiao Jianer gave each person 10,000 taels of silver for their own disposal.
No one had ever touched so much money before, and they thought it was too wasteful. Qiao Jianer said generously, "We earn tens of thousands of taels a day, and we can never spend it all. We can never spend it all."
The chef prepared a whole table full of Beijing specialties. Worried that everyone might not be used to them, he added some southern specialties.
In order to hurry along the way, they ate a lot of dry food. The table was full of delicacies that they had almost never seen before, which whetted everyone's appetite. Since they were family, there was no need to be restrained and they ate to their heart's content.
After we finished eating, Butler Chai came to report: "Miss Qiao, there are no large flats, but there are three-story buildings, and the price is much more expensive."
"How much is that?"
"Ten thousand taels."
"Take it." Qiao Jian'er took out the banknotes without hesitation: "Put it in the name of Madam Luo San. Third Aunt, please go with Butler Chai."
Mrs. Lu was almost stunned by being called the Third Madam. She thought that she was the wife of a captain and was in charge of the shop, so she would be called "Madam" from now on.
The change of identity brought her an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
She also needs to improve her abilities to be worthy of this status.
"Jian'er, I have ten thousand taels here, you don't have to pay anymore." As she spoke, she took out a silver note worth ten thousand taels.
Qiao Jian'er pushed her hand away: "Third Aunt, let's put things in perspective. Besides, our family doesn't lack the money."
Butler Chai also said politely: "Madam San, let's go, the boss lady is waiting."
It was getting late, and Qiao Laosan was worried, so he followed Lu.
"We can never repay Jian'er's kindness in our lifetime." Mrs. Lu whispered to Qiao Lao San.
"Everyone in our Qiao family can die for Jianer." said Qiao Lao San.
Although Butler Chai was some distance away, he also heard it and his eyelids twitched.
After the transaction was completed and the house deeds and land deeds were brought back, Butler Chai repeated what he had heard to Qiao Jianer.
Qiao Jianer smiled and said, "Butler Chai, we in the Qiao family are all good people. We trust each other and depend on each other. You don't need to keep an eye on them, and you don't need to tell me these things."
Butler Chai was a little stunned. All the wealthy families he had met were full of intrigue and all kinds of thoughts among the family members, so he was particularly careful and intended to report all the good and bad to his master.
It's not that he is dishonorable. As a housekeeper in the capital, if he doesn't show his sincerity in this way, he won't be able to stay there.
Instead, this family gave him a surprise.
Not to mention Miss Qiao's trust, he just observed the couple in the third room. They did not show any joy because of so many benefits. Instead, they were moved. Such gratitude even made him feel heavy. They even said that it didn't matter if they died for Miss Qiao.
He stayed a little distance away, but kept his ears perked up just to hear their true words.
Are there really such warm families in this world?
