Chapter 155: Strains
At this time, in addition to the old marquis and Mrs. Tai in the house, there was only Qiu Yiran. Looking at the angry grandmother and the embarrassed and unwilling father, Qiu Yiran's heart was also full of flavors and was very complicated.
Yanran is the sister of his mother's compatriots, and she has always been very loved, and Yanran is very good-looking, as for her poor temperament, it shouldn't be a problem to find a good upbringing mother to train her for a year or two, and it's really too aggrieved to marry a stupid person.
It's just that what my grandmother said is also right, the Hou Mansion is now imaginary, and there is a mother who colludes with the mountain bandits, and his family affairs are difficult, not to mention Yanran? Rather than having no choice but to marry low, it is better to marry into the Ding family? Yanran's greedy for enjoyment, bent on eating well and dressing well, can't stand poverty?
The important thing is that the Ding family is sincere, and the conditions put forward are very attractive, not only tactfully explaining that they will take out 10,000 taels of silver to buy a dowry for Qiu Yanran, but also find a position for his eldest brother. Because of the Baieling Gold Mine and the Xishan Racecourse, the official positions in Los Angeles and even the entire Luozhou are now "expensive", and a lot of people in the capital are working up and down just to get a chance to be sent to Los Angeles as officials.
When Qiu Yiran was very young, he knew that the Qiu family's title would be the last one when it came to his hands, and if he couldn't achieve success and revitalize the Qiu family, the Qiu family would be completely declined. Before the farce of marriage and divorce last year, he had always been full of confidence, because he had a quasi-in-law who wanted power, power, silver, and silver to help him.
Unexpectedly, a sudden change not only ruined the Yin family, but also smashed his smooth road to a shining future. One wrong step, one wrong step, the more wrong it is, the more chaotic it is, the more wrong it is, with the current situation and reputation of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, I am afraid that there are really few people in their family, even if there is a dowry brought by Xu Yuanniang, it is not easy for them to have some relationships in the capital. But now, if Yanran really marries the second young master of the Ding family, then they are in-laws with the Ding family, and they can be regarded as climbing into the prince's faction.
Qiu Yiran Ning was in chaos......
And Mrs. Qiu is obviously more decisive than her grandson, she has already decided what to give up, looking at the old marquis who realized the embarrassment, Mrs. Tai softened her tone: "I know that you feel sorry for Yanran, but have you ever felt sorry for Yi'er without help? And Yi'er took over such a glamorous mess from you, and because of the stupid woman of the Ji family, she became a wolf and was struggling, how easy is it to revitalize the Qiu family? Now it is rare that the Ding family is willing to help him find a chance to get ahead and recommend him to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, such a good opportunity, are you going to destroy it for life? Yanran is your daughter, Yi'er is still your eldest son, which is more important? You think about it!"
Qiu Yiran's prospects, the revitalization of the Qiu family is naturally more important than Qiu Yanran's daughter! Needless to say? But, alas!
......
When Zhiruo got the news that Qiu Yanran was married to the second young master of the Ding family, he was directly stunned, the change was too great! In the previous life, Qiu Yanran was the side concubine of the fifth prince, and in this life, the Qiu family can't wait to take Qiu Yanran to attach to the prince? Then it won't marry Qiu Yanran, a concubine of the Hou Mansion, to a fool, right?
Li Da saw Zhiruo's face of surprise and disbelief, and pursed his lips: "There is nothing impossible about such a person." The Ding family has a lot of face in front of the prince. ”
Oh? Zhiruo suddenly realized, it turned out that it was still to cling to the prince! Hehe, there is no dowry support in this life, and the scandal of the Ji family has made the Qiu family worse, and the grade of the "political marriage" of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion has to be lowered, Qiu Yiran is like this, Qiu Yanran is even more miserable, hehe, it is a pity that no one in the Qiu family in the previous life thought of her good, and only regarded her as an idiot.
Li Da didn't have much interest in the topic of the Qiu family, anyway, don't forget that there are people over there staring at the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, and if he said that she can avenge the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion herself, he won't worry about it, he is really busy now: "Big sister, I will make arrangements in the capital for the next two months, maybe it will be longer." "The network in the capital should be spread wide, and there should be key points and levels, so you can't bother more!
Originally, they just set up a point in the capital, thinking that they would start later, after all, the capital is different from other places, and there are many eyes in the dark. It's just that the turmoil of the dim sum branch has touched Zhiruo a lot, first of all, the speed of developing forces must be accelerated, including the ability to collect various intelligence, perceive risks, and resist risks. Secondly, the rest of the next business, except for wine, can no longer be done under her Yin Zhiruo's name.
Zhiruo discussed with Li Da and Yu Dayong, and the three of them unanimously decided to do their best to improve and consolidate the dark power of the capital, so Li Da will concentrate on the capital in the near future.
What made Li Da gain confidence was their weapons and hidden weapons, and secretly sighed that the eldest sister Zhiruo didn't know how to have so many ideas about weapons and mechanisms in her head, what three-pointed nails, rope darts, iron fists, and blood drops...... There are all kinds of tricks, but there is also a monster who creates weapons, Xihuai, who can always figure out and realize those strange ideas of Zhiruo, which greatly increases their power. However, hehe, his favorite is still the crossbow.
If you know what Li Da thinks, you will definitely be ashamed, Xihuai can say that she is a real genius, and her so-called "bizarre ideas" are either from the Weapons Museum, or refer to the descriptions in TV series and novels, and they are really not original to her, right?
Zhiruo nodded and said, "Well, Brother Cunren, when you arrive in the capital, you must be extra careful." ”
Li Da laughed: "I will, big sister, don't worry, your trick is too unexpected, those people have long forgotten us." He has always kept a nail in the capital, and the "starling" has not been withdrawn, first, the "starling" is hidden deep and very safe; second, once it is withdrawn, it will be difficult to insert people into such a position;
Da Yuanfang set up a point in the capital, and Li Da got in touch with the starling when he returned to Beijing for the first time. Starling is worthy of being his most proud subordinate, and he sent the news he secretly collected and sorted out at one time, so that he has a good understanding of many hidden and unknown situations in the capital. Therefore, he knew very well that all the factions in the capital had already found out the news that "Yin Zhao's henchmen and guards were wiped out by a nest and the whole army was wiped out", and no one had the slightest suspicion, and even took it for granted.
Zhiruo shook his head disapplausively: "Brother Cunren, don't be careless, a dark force suddenly appears, and if you are not careful, it will attract the attention of many secret forces, and the danger in the realm is no less than when people suspect your true identity." ”
Li Da paused slightly, and said, "Yes, I will be careful." ”
Zhiruo, of course, knows that Li Da has always been the most stable and cautious, and has all the characteristics that a dark power leader should have, and she can't help but remind her again and again because she is nervous, seeing that Li Da doesn't mind at all, and solemnly promises, but she is a little embarrassed, is it called a class axe?
Li Da really didn't mind, not only did he not mind, but he also secretly sighed that his sister-in-law had inherited the advantages of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and it was really better than the blue, where did he notice the sneer that flashed on Zhiruo's face? And the prince, who has been more and more low-key recently. The "crown prince" lost" the gold mine, which aroused the emperor's suspicion, and he was too busy to take care of himself, so he shouldn't have the heart to trouble them again, right?
Zhiruo wanted to laugh every time she heard the code name of "starling", she began to think that it was called starling because of the ranking eight, but Li Da said that it was the starling bird that starling, starling likes to talk, and is also good at raising parrots and using parrots to find news, so she uses "starling" as the code name. If you know that it is really difficult to connect a parrot with gathering intelligence, to associate a man with a lot of words with a spy and a secret guard, and to use a parrot to spy on intelligence? That "starling" is not afraid that the parrot will mumbble out what he himself says? The parrot does not have such a high IQ and knows what to say and what not to say, right?
And she didn't think it was strange that Pan Jiaming would be entrusted by the emperor to be in charge of the gold mine. With Li Da guiding Pan Jiaming to discover the section of Bai'e Ling, they naturally won't believe rumors such as the number one gentleman and the head of the three tyrants now. If such a shrewd and lonely person is considered a gentleman, the emperor must hope that the whole dynasty will be gentle. As for Pan Jiaming's ruffian face in the "Come Again" restaurant, Zhiruo can only praise his superb acting skills, comparable to modern Oscar actors, either the hatred is too heavy and the situation is too difficult, or the city government is too deep!
"Brother Cunren," Zhiruo remembered another thing, "Have you arranged Qi Mubai's identity and family background? Have you found a few suitable stand-ins? Although it hasn't been used so quickly yet, it always has to be made to show up and slowly spread its reputation." so as not to be too abrupt and arouse suspicion. ”
Qi Mubai will be her alternate identity, or rather, a fictitious, half-truthful person, sometimes her, sometimes someone else, or several other people who appear in different places. However, Qi Mubai has a mysterious and golden life experience, and he has immeasurable strength. He is a genius in business, and he has a mysterious power passed down from his ancestors, and he also has an inexplicable connection with the fearsome Dayuan Fang in the future. R1152
