Dressed as cannon fodder, fake daughter, she worked hard

Chapter 266 Purpose
As soon as Qiao Zhi came up, he explained why he didn't go directly to Jiang Sheng.

"Before I left, I found out your address from my aunt. I said I could live with you..." Speaking of this, Qiao Zhi muttered dissatisfiedly, "My mother insisted that there is no elder in the girl's house. By your side, don't let me come so far away."

"I thought, that's fine, I'll look for you when we arrive in Linyi."

"Unexpectedly, cousin Qingshan saw that I was going out the other day and asked me what I was doing. I told the truth, so she asked me to go out slowly, and later told me that you would come to visit in a day."

"But you didn't come yesterday, so I guessed that you probably didn't want to come..."

Probably because they were in someone else's house, even though they had arrived at Qiao Zhi's temporary residence and turned away all the servants, Qiao Zhi's voice was still very low.

She felt a little guilty: "If I had known it earlier, I would have lied casually, and I would have gone to find you without telling Cousin Qingshan."

Jiang Sheng didn't care too much, and his attitude towards the concierge was not very kind, and it was also because the other party ignored her polite rejection at all.

"It's just a small talk, you don't know that we haven't been to Zhao's house."

What Jiang Sheng was more concerned about was that Mrs. Hou said that Qiao Zhi came here to relax.

She paid attention to Qiao Zhi's expression as soon as she came to the Zhao Mansion, but it was not much different from a month ago; just now when Qiao Zhi spoke, she could speak clearly, so she couldn't tell anything.

Could it be just an excuse to leave Beijing?

Facing Jiang Sheng's question, Qiao Zhi sighed heavily, with a look of bitterness and hatred: "Shengsheng..."

Jiang Sheng looked at her.

Qiao Zhi covered her face: "I was rejected."

The more she talked, the more chaotic Jiang Sheng was. "Who rejected it? What did you reject?"

When mentioning this, Qiao Zhi was a little embarrassed, and said in a voice like a mosquito, "You...do you still remember the bookstore where I went to the bookstore with me?"

Jiang Sheng nodded: "I remember."

Qiao Zhi became even more coy: "Then... what about the people inside?"

Jiang Sheng thought for a while: "The one whose surname is Pei?"

At that time, Pei Luoshu's mother pretended to be sick, but she exposed it.

Jiang Sheng was recalling, when he turned his head, he saw Qiao Zhi covering his face hard.

She felt that if she hadn't been here, Qiao Zhi would have twisted herself into a twist.

Qiao Zhi nodded, but didn't dare to look at her: "Yes, the second brother has investigated, Young Master Pei's father died early, leaving only his mother and elder brother."

"And the two elder brothers are already married..."

Jiang Sheng was confused when he heard it, and felt that he was about to grasp what Qiao Zhi wanted to express: "So?"

Qiao Zhi cleared her throat: "I told you at the beginning of the year... I want to recruit a son-in-law, and my mother thinks this is a good candidate."

She said it righteously, but she swallowed a sentence here. In fact, she asked her second brother to turn the corner to mention this matter to her mother.

In order to make his words more convincing, Qiao Zhi went on to explain: "Young Master Pei is not the only child, and his father is no longer here. As for the mother, give some silver taels to his elder brother to take care of. I think his elder brother will be very happy."

"That's it." Reminiscent of the word "relaxation" that Mrs. Hou said, Jiang Sheng probably guessed the ending, and also guessed what Qiao Zhi hadn't said.

She didn't comment, but secretly wondered when Qiao Zhi fell in love with Pei Luoshu.

Are you so dull yourself?

Speaking of this, Qiao Zhi didn't change his mind, and spread his hands together: "Anyway, Mr. Pei didn't agree in the end."

"That's right, which family's Erlang would be willing to be someone else's son-in-law."

Hearing Qiao Zhi's self-deprecating words, Jiang Sheng let out an "oh", feeling a little helpless.

She's really not good at comforting people.

On the contrary, Qiao Zhi waved his hand generously: "Forget it, let's not talk about it, I took a boat and a carriage, and I only got here in half a month. If there is anything interesting, you can take me there tomorrow."

Jiang Sheng couldn't answer this question.

Since June, she has been awake even less, most of the time she is sleeping, even if she is awake, she would rather stay in the house than go out.

Except for the occasional whim, she would take the time to hang around outside, because she could pick up her sister who was going home.

The good thing is that Qiao Zhi obviously didn't wait for her opinion: "I heard that the Jinghe Temple in Linyi is very spiritual. Shall we go to worship tomorrow?"

Jiang Sheng finally joked: "Are you looking for marriage?"

"No." Qiao Zhi said calmly, "I want merit."

"I understand now that money is the most important thing."

Who in a serious family would want their son to come to their door? These are all illusory.

She snorted: "As long as I have enough money, even if the second and third brothers all get married, and my sister-in-law or nephew and niece don't want to see me, I can still buy another house by myself! Feel at ease!"

Jiang Sheng laughed.

In fact, even if Qiao Zhi didn't marry or recruit a son-in-law, the elders of Qiao's family would take care of her life's food and clothing.

But at this time, Jiang Sheng thought of a place off topic: "I know there is a restaurant that tastes very good, and I will take you there quietly when I have time."

When mentioning food, Qiao Zhi said "Oh, yes, the little lady in the story book lost weight day by day when she was sad, but I didn't lose weight at all..."

"It looks like you've lost a lot of weight."

She smiled and said, "Really, Shengsheng, come here, I'll give you some meat."

The flesh on his body can't be divided, and Jiang Sheng was even more overjoyed when he heard this.

During this period of time, she really didn't have a good appetite. Although my sister paid attention to finding a cook and cooked various foods in different ways every day, she still didn't eat much.

Ms. Jiang's food is in line with Jiang Sheng's taste, but she is not very willing to go out, maybe she is a little thinner.

Jiang Sheng gestured at his clothes.

But that's all.

The two talked again until someone looked outside.

——It’s Zhao’s fourth cousin, Zhao Qingzhuo.

The two went to the outside room, and a man was waiting outside with a food box.

Zhao Qingzhuo nodded to the two with a smile on his face, with the attitude of a handsome gentleman: "Two cousins."

"Grandmother said that there is still some time before dinner, and the small kitchen made some pastries, and asked me to bring them to the two cousins ​​to pad their stomachs."

Qiao Zhi hurriedly went to pick it up: "Thank you, cousin, I wish I had sent someone to do this kind of thing, why did I ask you to make a hard trip."

Zhao Qingzhuo helped put the food boxes on the table, and opened them one by one: "It's not busy, I have nothing to do with you."

"Nurse Chang in the grandmother's room makes these snacks very well, but we brothers don't have the chance to eat them normally." He was naughty, "Thanks to you today, I'll come over and have a taste."

Compared with his natural tone, Qiao Zhi just smiled a little bluntly.

Zhao Qingzhuo asked again: "What were the two cousins ​​talking about just now?"

Qiao Zhi looked at Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng sat down with Qiao Zhi on his arm, half-jokingly: "It's just my daughter's private talk, does my cousin want to listen?"

Zhao Qingzhuo laughed loudly: "Forget it."

"By the way, grandma just said that she would ask Cousin Jiang to come over. She hasn't seen her cousin for a long time, and she has something private to say to her cousin."

Hearing this, Jiang Sheng's eyes flickered slightly.

What words?

It's... Mrs. Zhao insisted on her coming to Zhao's house. Is it the fundamental purpose?
