8days ago traverse Novels 7
Three days later.

Qijia, a cottage.

After Jia Qiang came in and turned around, he looked at Qi Taizhong with a strange look.

Qi Yun smiled and said, "Good minister, speaking of this, I have learned this wonderful method of heating from you."

After Jia Qiang felt a lot of trouble, he smiled and said with a smile: This is the recipe I plan to keep my descendants for a meal. Every family has a great career, why did they copy it like this?

Qi Yun laughed and scolded: Don’t do this!

Qi Taizhong, who had always been alive, raised his eyes and looked at Jia Qiang and smiled faintly: What is the value of a stove?When I marry my granddaughter, I can spread my dowry ten miles outside Yangzhou City with only eating breath. Even a family of hundreds can eat for three lifetimes. Isn’t it better than yours?

Jia Qiang laughed and said: Then you should go and find this wishful son-in-law slowly. Every family has a great career, and I don’t have this blessing.

After hearing this, Qi Taizhong looked at Jia Qiang deeply, but did not force it. He changed the subject and said: You are not old and have a ghost spirit.Such a big wave caused in the capital, and turned around and ran to Yangzhou to avoid the storm.Now there is another storm in Yangzhou Prefecture, and it turns out that it is starting again. I hide myself and hide myself and work hard for us old bones to contribute to you.

Jia Qiang said with a erotic voice and denied seriously: Mr., don’t put me on the fire, how much do I have, I understand in my heart.None of these things has anything to do with me. On that day, I went to Sixi Tower with Brother De'ang. After all, it was just a matter of upholding justice, and it had nothing to do with what happened next.

Old Qi Taizhong's eyes flashed with light, and he looked at Jia Qiang and said with a smile: The total wealth of the four families exceeds tens of millions, are you not moved at all?Take a handful of it, what is that small Jufeng Island?

Jia Qiang sneered and looked at Qi Taizhong and said: You are worthy of being the name of the Silver Fox, and you don’t have to raise your fingers. Bai, Chen, Zhou and Wu confiscated their homes for the imperial crime. If I, a idler with no official position, dared to touch a tael of silver, I would not be able to keep my head. Old man, the Qi family has eaten enough this time. You won’t turn your back on others and want to fool me, right?

After hearing this, Qi Taizhong laughed for a while and said to Qi Yun: Remember to deal with this son in the future.

Qi Yun hurriedly bowed to receive the teachings, and Qi Taizhong said: When you interact with your friend, remember not to take advantage of it. This is a person who refuses to lose a little.Bold, dark-hearted, and hot-handed.Although you are a salt merchant, you can't compare to him when it comes to being cruel.I just asked him to dip some oil and water, but he asked me to occupy the salt field in a blink of an eye. His fault was just a punishment. If I do this, it would be the end of death.Remember not to offend this kid.

After Qi Yun responded with a smile and tears, he looked at Jia Qiang who was sneering at Qi Taizhong and bowed: Don't worry, good minister, I will not take advantage of you in the future.

After Jia Qiang laughed and scolded, he sat down and said: Old man, if you think the Qi family has taken a big advantage this time, then clean up Jufeng Island for me and then reduce the wages by 70% to 80%, and I will appreciate it.

Qi Yun couldn't bear to listen and said: Liangchen, what's the advantage of my Qi family? I... Before I finished speaking, looking at Jia Qiang's smiling gaze, he suddenly woke up.

If Jia Qiang had not existed, this might have been the case.

Without a way out of Jia Qiang's point of view that at least seems feasible at the moment, the Qi family would never have retreated like this.

At that time, they will inevitably fight with Han Bin and Lin Ruhai, and they will end up with a desperate end.

That's how it counts...

But he was puzzled. Jia Qiang wants a Jufeng Island for such a great kindness?

Qi Taizhong thought more than he thought. The old man's face, which gradually became solemn, made Qi Yun feel uneasy, but Jia Qiang still looked happy.

Qi Taizhong looked at Jia Qiang and said slowly: My friend, how unfavorable are you of my Qi family? Or... I think my Qi family will definitely not have a good end and it is difficult to get close to you?

Jia Qiang looked at Qi Taizhong, smiled, and shook his head and said: Old man, you are too worried. The future of Qi's family will be to blossom overseas and domestically.If you follow this road well, even if you are a hundred years later, the Qi family will have at least hundreds of years of luck.Why am I not optimistic?

Then Qi Taizhong was even more curious: Since that is the case, my Qi family owed such a big favor, is it worth a small Jufeng Island?

Jia Qiang smiled and said: For the Qi family, Jufeng Island is insignificant.For me, this is indeed what we will rely on for many years to come.Old man, I have heard a story that there is a couple who were rescued by a scholar when they were in trouble.Afterwards, the couple was very uneasy.The wife asked her husband: How should we repay the benefactor?Give silver?Her husband shook his head and said, "My benefactor is much richer than us."The wife asked again: Then, let’s go and work hard for him?Her husband shook his head and said, "We are just hunters in the mountains. They have slaves under them and maids like rain, so they look down on us."The wife became even more uneasy and asked her husband: Then how should we repay our kindness?Old man, guess how did this hunter repay the favor in the end?

When Qi Taizhong heard this, his eyes were eccentric.

Qi Yun thought for a while and said: Are he going to be a cow and a horse in the next life?

Jia Qiang laughed and said: Brother De'ang was right. The hunter couple finally decided to kill the scholar and wait for him to repay him in the next life.

……

Qi Yun looked at Jia Qiang speechlessly.

Qi Taizhong couldn't laugh and sighed softly: Great grace is like great hatred... It's not wrong.Well, let’s take Jufeng Island to get there.

Even so, the old man stared at Jia Qiang with his eyes as if he was staring at a ginseng fruit.

No wonder, it is not an exaggeration to say that if you can think of this truth at this age, you can say nothing in a thousand.

Jia Qiang smiled and bowed: That's just right.

After talking about another cup of tea [520], Jia Qiang said goodbye and left.

When Qi Yun sent Jia Qiang out of the gate of Qiyuan and returned to the cottage, he saw Qi Taizhong's face rarely solemn. He was shocked and asked: Grandfather, what happened?

Qi Taizhong slowly stood up with a black wooden crutch, and helped Qi Yun walk to the window. Looking at the lake and rock streams and pavilions not far away outside, he sighed and said: Yun'er thought, why did Jia Qiang draw a clear line with the Qi family?

Today, the Qi family invited Jia Qiang to come, originally in order to further narrow the relationship.

Qi Taizhong is always interested in making friends and is willing to be stingy with gold, silver and treasures.

As long as he values ​​money, beauties, antiques, houses, gardens...

He is willing to give it to him as long as he needs it, and it is elegant.

It was so elegant that even the Supreme Emperor happily accepted his gift when he was on the southern tour.

In this world, not every rich person is qualified to offer treasures in front of the Supreme Emperor.

But I don't want to...

This time, I saw it.

When Qi Yun heard this, he frowned and said slowly: Grandfather, although his grandson also thought that the good minister's words were not complete, he couldn't understand why he wanted to keep a distance from the Qi family.My grandfather said clearly that even if he took a concubine, he would be willing to marry a daughter from Qi's family. The dowry was so generous, even if he had golden branches and jade leaves.Even I felt that it was a little over, but he actually declined.It can be seen that he really doesn't want to get too close to the Qi family.But I don’t know what it is for?

Suddenly, his face changed and he said in a deep voice: Grandfather, could Lin Ruhai and Han Banshan still have not given up and still want to touch my family?

Qi Taizhong waved his hand and said: This will not happen, Yun'er, don't scare herself. The Qi family is different from the Bai, Chen, Zhou and Wu families, and we have reached an agreement. They will never make any moves again. Otherwise, they will definitely suffer a great loss... Alas!

At this point, Qi Taizhong sighed and smiled and said: Yun'er, you may not be really unclear. Even an outsider who just came to Yangzhou knows about the matter between your father and your second and third uncles. How could you not know?Your father is ambitious and talented. He seems to be elegant and generous, but in fact he is narrow-minded and jealous of the wise and capable.Your second uncle and third uncle have all the means, but one person is too arrogant and thinks that he can be arrogant if he raises a group of wanderers.The other, on the contrary, has raised so many talented men and thought that it would be a good thing to gain fame and make a name for the family.I am famous for my lifetime, and in the end I have borne these three things.It is not very capable, but it is quite capable of internal fighting.Fortunately, I have you as my grandson.

Qi Yun didn't know how to answer this, so he naturally didn't have the same comments on his elders. He could only laugh and said: My grandson just understood a little bit, and they were all from the ancestors' religions.Qi Family... As long as the Qi Family has ancestors, it will be foolproof.So rather than worrying, grandfather is better off living for a hundred years, no, he will live for two hundred years!

Qi Taizhong supported his hands on the crooked, his old eyes were bright, and he smiled and said: It's Ah. I have been thinking hard about the way out for the family, but I can't find a chance.Now that I have jumped out of the cage and finally come up with a way out, this chess game can be considered truly alive.Don’t your second uncle likes fighting wildly and thinks that force can solve everything?Then I will send him to the sea and take people to the countries in Southeast Asia to open up a new foundation for my family.Your third uncle likes to be friends with famous scholars and loves the Qingliu of Shilin, so let him go to Jinling. There are more famous scholars on the Qinhuai River than the Slender West Lake.In this way, they all followed their wishes!

After hearing this, Qi Yun thought about it. Since the Qi family will gradually relax the salt affairs in the future, there is indeed no need to defend the Yangzhou prefecture, but...

Grandfather, what about my father?

Qi Taizhong narrowed his eyes and said lightly: Even if the Qi family's head branch moved overseas in the future, the Anhui ancestral land cannot be abandoned. There are the ancestors of the Qi family buried there, which is also the place of the ancestral temple.Your father is the eldest son of the eldest son, so he will return to his hometown in the ancestral land and guard the ancestral tomb of the ancestral hall.

When Qi Yun heard this, he was completely frozen, his heart was cold, and he looked at Qi Taizhong with horror.

Qi Taizhong smiled and shook his head and said: Originally, he wanted to hand over the family business to him and then hand it over to you.Keep your second and third uncles together, one is to help your father, the other is to restrain him, so that he will not do whatever he wants, and the third is to let him hand over the Qi family to you.But now the situation has changed, and the Qi family's death disaster has gone quickly. After the way out comes out, it will be inappropriate to follow the previous method.So, your father left Yangzhou yesterday and went back to his ancestral home in Anhui. At most, your second and third uncles left after the New Year.My grandfather has been in Yangzhou for you for another five years. If you are outside, you must mature and grow up as soon as possible and don’t let me persist for too long.

When Qi Yun heard this, he went from being horrified to being excited and surprised, and finally turned into surprise and said: Grandfather, am I outside?Where should I go... Could it be that I let me go to sea with my second uncle?

Qi Taizhong shook his head, looked eastward, and laughed: Yun'er, do you know how a person can grow up as soon as possible?

Qi Yun shook his head and said: My grandson doesn’t know.Grandfather...

Qi Taizhong looked at the grandson who satisfied him the most and smiled lovingly: That's right, I experienced too much suffering before that I supported it early.However, with my experience like this, luck accounts for more than half of it, and there is nothing to learn. Even if I ask me to do it again, I am not sure that I can get back to this point.You are different. You are not just having nothing, you can only fight with your life. You have enough foundation to avoid the experience of your grandfather back then.However, if you don’t experience more, how can you truly grow up and understand the truth?In fact, it is also easy. Just witness the setbacks and hardships experienced by people around you, observe carefully, and understand his methods of breaking the deadlock and his changes in his mind. In this way, you can grow up quickly, and you don’t have to suffer much damage and cruelty.Yun'er, do you understand what grandfather meant?

Qi Yun: ...
