0258: Come To Send A Woman To Your Door.
The soft breeze blows the flowers of Baihua Manor, and the faint fragrance of flowers fills the whole manor.
The fragrance of flowers made the people working in Baihua Manor feel very comfortable, and they were particularly motivated to work.
Qiao Ji got up early today to go for a horse ride, smelling the fragrance of flowers and feeling refreshed.
He touched Zhuifeng's mane with his hand, and asked with a smile, "Aren't you used to it in Baihua Manor recently?"
Since the young man got the Hundred Flowers Manor, he took the outing horses from his home in Mengou District. The prairie is still very suitable for raising horses.
"Huhuhu..." Zhuifeng kept exhaling hot air from his nose, and pressed his face to the boy's.
It likes to run around the manor, which is more comfortable than in the stables of Duke Yuwu's castle.
"Beast language +1."
"Okay, okay, let's go." Qiao Ji patted Zhuifeng, indicating that it can move freely.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
Chasing the wind raised his front hooves high, and ran towards the grassland not far away, and there was a forest in front of him. Now he doesn't need to be fed three meals a day.
Qiao Ji looked at the outing horse in the distance, clapped his hands and walked back to the wooden house, ready to plan the next development.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
As soon as he returned to the wooden house and sat down, Ai Yu happened to be waiting at the door of the wooden house.
Qiao Ji raised her bushy eyebrows slightly, raised her chin to signal the other person to come in, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Ai Yu walked into 183, saluted respectfully, and said, "My lord, people from the Poxiu family are here [to say they want to see you and talk about some important matters.
"Why are they here?" Lei Nai immediately lost his composure, and his furry cat ears stood up.
She still remembered what the lord said a few days ago, could it be that the Poxiu family is going to do something so soon?
"Who is here?" Qiao Ji frowned slightly and asked.
"He claims to be the heir of the second-class Marquis of Poxiu, and not many people come." Ai Yu said immediately.
When he was at the gate of the manor, he took a special look. The Poxiu family only came with a carriage and six knights.
"Let them come in." Qiao Ji also couldn't figure out why they came here at this time.
The current public opinion is not favorable to the Poxiu family, and they will not do anything out of the ordinary.
"Yes." Ai Yu nodded, turned around and walked towards the gate of the manor.
There was a hint of worry in Lei Nai's dark eyes, and he asked in a low voice, "Master, do they come here this time to start a war with us?"
The black cat girl also knew the situation of the Poxiu family. If she really wanted to use some shady means, the lord would be hard-pressed to guard against it.
"Not necessarily. A century-old nobleman who knows how to hide his strength and bide his time may not use simple methods." Qiao Ji shook his head.
"Maybe the lord was asked to return the smuggled salt." Lei Nai said with pink lips.
"Then all I can give is the bag." Qiao Ji smiled faintly.
That's right, he has already ordered the salt to be transported to be purified, and he plans to send a batch to the Yellow Crane Tower in the future, and leave the rest in Baihua Manor.
After all, the knights will continue to be trained in the future, and the food consumption of thousands of knights will require a lot of supervision.
Moreover, if you really hand over the salt, isn't it just not calling yourself?
"Maybe he was so angry. Lei Nai's shoulders trembled as he laughed.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
While the two of Qiao Ji were chatting, people from the Poxiu family had already arrived outside the wooden house.
With Qiao Ji's consent, Anlie Poxiu stepped into the wooden house, bowed slightly and said, "Master Earl, I am the eldest son of the second-class Marquis of Poxiu, Anlie."
Seeing Qiao Ji's calm expression, he quickly pointed to his younger sister and introduced, "This is my younger sister, Pan Zhi.
"Your Earl." Panla Poxiu slightly lifted the hem of her skirt to salute.
She is the first daughter of the Poxiu family, she is sixteen years old this year, and she is considered a beauty among ordinary people.
However, she belongs to the kind that looks amazing at first glance, but after a long time, she feels that she is just beautiful.
"Sit down." Qiao Ji replied calmly.
An Lie and his younger sister sat down on two stools not far from Qiao Ji, and their accompanying knights stayed at the door.
"Did the Marquis Poxiu send you here for something?" Qiao Ji asked coldly.
"I want to talk to Earl Qiao Ji about marriage." An Lie said with a smile on his face.
In fact, he didn't have any particular malice towards Qiao Ji, but instead thanked Qiao Ji for stealing the smuggled (bace) salt.
Because of the discovery of smuggling, Bi Poxiu was blamed by New York Poxiu for a long time.
As long as An Lie finds a way later, he will be able to pull down his uncle and take over the family's black gloves, and then the identity of the heir will be stabilized.
"Oh? Let your sister marry me?"
Qiao Ji took advantage of the situation to look at Pan La, and asked the system to open her character panel in her heart.
[Character]: Panla Poxiu.
【Age】: 16.
【Power】: 5.6. 【Speed】: 5.7.
【Intelligence】: 6.2. 【Physique】: 5.5.
[Charm]: 7.5.
(Average for ordinary people: 5)
[Information]: As the daughter of the Marquis of Newman, Pan La dislikes being a tool for marriage. In order to seek excitement, she gets entangled with her guardian knight.
It's really interesting. Qiao Ji glanced at Pan La meaningfully.
Pan La lowered her head subconsciously, the blush on her face extended to the base of her ears, feeling her ears were burning hot.
Before she came, she was very resistant, and really didn't want her father to arrange her marriage.
However, the moment Pan La saw Qiao Ji again, she felt her heart beat several beats faster.
It's not bad to marry him, he is tall, handsome, and rich. Pan La fantasized wildly in her heart.
"How is it? My lord Earl."
An Lie seemed to be very confident in his younger sister's appearance, and the slightly raised chin said it all.
This marriage is entirely a plot by the Marquis Newman, who wants to marry his daughter to Qiao Ji, thereby annexing the boy's property.
The Marquis Newman felt that as long as they stole the perfume making technology, cooking skills, and building craftsmanship, etc., the Poxiu family could also copy Qiao Ji's industry.
Qiao Ji's strange-colored eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and said flatly, "The person I want to marry is the one who is devoted to me."
Even if he didn't know about Pan La's information, it was impossible for him to marry someone he had a problem with.
"What do you mean?" An Lie frowned slightly, always feeling that there was something in the boy's words.
"..." Pan La immediately became nervous after hearing the young man's words, her hands were unnaturally grabbing the cuffs.
She didn't dare to look up at Qiao Ji, and pinched her cuff fingers very hard until her knuckles turned white and her body felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
"Ai Yu, see off the guests." Qiao Ji ordered coldly.
"Yes.
Ai Yu came in from the door, and made a gesture of invitation to the Anlie brothers and sisters.
"Hmph, you will regret it sooner or later." An Lie stood up and looked angrily at the boy, and then at his sister.
She actually rejected the kindness of the Poxiu family.
He squinted his eyes slightly to look at Pan La for a while, and then shouted, "Go, you have to explain it to me when you get back."
An Lie felt strange just now, but now that he thinks about it, he always feels that something is wrong with his sister.
