Chapter 1047: The Qin Family, with Internal and External Troubles
Under the guidance of the two daughters of the Qin family, the two cars stopped at the gate of a quiet manor.
This manor, very ancient, even the wall also has a unique taste of ancient architecture, white walls and black tiles, very distinct, a few evergreen trees, tall and straight, extending from the courtyard wall, waving in the wind, it seems to welcome the guests who come to the door.
Under the door, a heavy big iron door, carved with a dragon-shaped image, there is a high atmosphere, at this moment in broad daylight, this gate is also half-covered and half-open, at this door, stationed four guards, the guard's chest, embroidered with the ancient Li font of the Qin character, this is the symbol of the Qin family.
But this sign makes Chu He look very familiar, because in his mind, he seems to have seen a lot of this word, as well as this font, yes, in the days of the Qin period, he saw Ying Zheng, and by Ying Zheng's side, there were many times, I saw such a flag, which was a battle flag representing the Qin State, flying and fluttering.
Hearing this, Chu He's heart moved slightly, or in the Qin family, he could find a lot of familiar memories.
I heard Qin Yuqing say that since Qin Mengxi escaped from marriage and left home three years ago, the Qin family has been suppressed by the Luo family, and life is very difficult, the Qin family has no choice but to order to think about it behind closed doors and give up most of the interests of the Qin family, so that the Luo family gave up on the Qin family.
At this moment, returning to the Qin family, standing at this gate, the two daughters of the Qin family also have mixed feelings.
"Master of the Chu family, this is the Qin family, we have arrived. ”
The seven people got out of the car, with Chu River as the center, standing in a cluster, Qin Yuqing with a little sentimentality, a little inexplicable melancholy, opened his mouth to introduce to Chu He: "This is the Qin family manor, it is said that it has been built for more than three hundred years, and it has been passed on to this generation, the light is no longer there, especially the rise of the Luo family, which has formed an absolute suppression of the Qin family, the Qin family is struggling in the cracks, if the head of the Chu family has a chance, please help my Qin family." ”
Qingfeng was immediately displeased, and said: "Sister Qin, if you live in the Chu family's inner house, you should know that the interests of the Chu family should be put first. ”
Qin Yuqing said: "This point, Yuqing naturally understands, but Mengxi and I are members of the Qin family, this is the last thing the two of us can do for the Qin family, and please Sister Qingfeng don't blame me for my selfishness." ”
Qingfeng didn't speak again, she could understand, and it was her husband who needed to make the decision, she just reminded the two daughters, once they entered the Chu family, they had to put the interests of the Chu family first, no matter who was in the Chu family, they couldn't go beyond this category, even if it was Mrs. Guo, who was considered the eldest sister by everyone, she didn't dare, otherwise the prestige she had accumulated over the years would be swept away.
In the Chu family, the word Chu is the real core.
Chu He didn't give any answer, the Qin family is not clear whether it is an enemy or a friend, where does he dare to give a promise, although he has promised the two daughters to live in the Qin family's house, but the two daughters want to become his real women, it will not be so easy, it still needs to be assessed for a while, Chu He will not make the women of the Chu family unhappy because of them, and there is no need to hesitate to choose between the two.
Qin Mengxi walked in the front, and the four Qin family guards looked at Qin Mengxi, their faces changed suddenly, and one of them seemed to be unable to help but exclaim: "Miss, you're back"
"Siping, not only me, but my aunt is also back" Qin Mengxi turned around and looked at Qin Yuqing.
This guard seems to be also the old man of the Qin family, after seeing Qin Yuqing, he was even more surprised, and shouted: "Miss, you are also back, why did you come back at this time, now the southwest is rumoring, it is really too unsafe, a few days ago, the Luo family also sent a housekeeper over to ask the old man to pay the protection fee, if they let them see the two young ladies, I am afraid that there will be danger, the two young ladies should leave quickly, don't let the Luo family know." ”
It seems that the entire Qin family knows about the two women.
And sympathize with their tragic fate, but it's a pity that these people have a humble status and are powerless, and they really can't save the two young ladies, so they can only watch them flee and have no home.
"Siping, I haven't seen you for a long time, is the old man here, we came back this time to visit the old man, and by the way, I brought a friend over. ”
This guard glanced at Chu He and the other women, and did not dare to slack off, because although he was humble, he could be the captain of the guard at the door, of course, he was a very discerning person, and it was basic to see people talking about people and talking nonsense, and he could see at a glance that Chu He, a young man, and several women behind him, could not be provoked.
With the current situation of the Qin family, he really can't get into any trouble anymore, not to mention that these people were brought back by the two young ladies, and he didn't dare to offend.
"The old man is here, two young ladies, please come in quickly, and I will report the news of your return immediately, the head of the family. ”
A group of people, stepping into the gate of the Qin family, Chu He and Qingfeng were the three of them, and the two daughters of the Qin family looked hurried and excited, even if they suffered more pain here, but this must be their home.
Stretching a straight long road, it is an ancient hall building, the momentum is extraordinary, the carved dragon painting building, but there is a different landscape, and the Jiangnan style of the Chu family's old house is different, the decoration and architecture here seem to be a lot tougher, Chu He thinks, if the Qin family is really related to Qin Shi, then this feeling in front of him is not strange.
Qin ruled the world and perished in the second generation, in just a few decades, although in history, it is famous, but compared with the thousand-year-old family, the background is much worse.
If Great Qin lasted for three hundred or five hundred years, it would not be the Qin family in the southwest that had been bullied in front of them.
Before the people were close, the voice came from afar, the voice of the shouting, it seemed that in the middle hall, there was an internal struggle of the Qin family, there were strong enemies outside, and there were troubles inside, and the Qin family was really suffering from the dire situation.
Chu He glanced at Qin Yuqing, Qin Yuqing understood in his heart, and said: "My father has four sons and three daughters, the third brother passed away three years ago, this is my second brother, he has always refused to accept the eldest brother to become the head of the family, and has repeatedly opposed the eldest brother. ”
Chu He shook his head lightly and said, "Such a person should have been expelled a long time ago, what are you doing with him?"
Qin Yuqing laughed helplessly at herself, and said: "The Qin family is worried about internal and external troubles, and the old man is unspeakably miserable, and the old man is more than willing to do it, so he passed the position of the head of the family to the eldest brother, giving himself a room for maneuver, the eldest brother has a weak temperament, and he was driven by the old man to put ducks on the shelf, which is really embarrassing for him." ”
Every family has a difficult scripture, many people say that there is great power in many people, such as the Chu family, it is precisely because of the existence of the women of the Chu family, so the Chu River can live so leisurely, they perform their duties, and together they push the Chu family step by step, and go faster and faster, just like everyone rowing a big boat, even if there is only one force, we must go all out, unity is the strength.
But the Qin family in front of him doesn't seem to be the same, the three brothers and sisters, each seems to have their own ideas, the big ship of the Qin family, can't find the direction to move forward at all, only knows that it is spinning in place, you pull me and pull, internal friction in vain, or because of this, the suppression of the Luo family does not have the power to fight back, otherwise how to say that the Qin family is also a thousand-year-old inheritance family, with a certain heritage, it is impossible to have no hidden power.
There are seven or eight people inside, you are arguing with me, but it is a middle-aged man sitting at the top, his face is gloomy, and he is trembling with anger, but he is silent with anger, and what is gushing is the voice just now, and it is also the second child of the Qin family introduced by Qin Yuqing.
Compared with the eldest child, the second eldest of the Qin family is thin, with a long robe, like a bathing monkey and crown, which looks a little ridiculous.
At this moment, he was gushing: "My Qin family, as a member of the southwest, should have sacrificed for the overall situation, and now the southwest king of the Luo family is facing the power of foreign invasion and is fighting hard, all in order to protect the interests of the southwest, and it is not too much to pay a protection fee, now we have paid, and when the king of the southwest wins this battle, we will naturally gain a lot, maybe my Qin family can also get the support of the Luo family, this kind of opportunity, how can you miss it, big brother, you refuse to pay the fee, anger the king of the southwest, the consequences are unimaginable, this will cause my Qin family to be ruined." ”
"Second brother, you can't say that, over the years, my Qin family has paid a lot of fees, but has it been protected, my Qin family's industry has been suppressed, and the annual profits are getting smaller and smaller, and most of them have been paid, and I have just paid a year's fees after this year, and now I want to, it is still such a big sum of money, even if my Qin family smashes the pot and sells iron, I can't take it out, the Luo family is clearly going to force us to death, we can't be fooled anymore, we have the ability to let the Luo family come, it's a big deal that my Qin family, the whole move out of the southwest." ”
The one who spoke was the fourth, the youngest of the four brothers, if ranked by brothers and sisters, he was ranked seventh, just before Qin Yuqing, more than thirty people, not married, he kept saying that if the industry is not successful, how can he be a family, so no matter how the old man forces him, he is not married, and he can be regarded as an independent person in the Qin family.
"Fourth, don't say that the second brother scares you, your words reached the mouth of the king of the southwest, but no one could predict the consequences, although people were afraid of Gaizu, they couldn't run to the Qin family to kill people, but if they put down their words and comprehensively encircled and suppressed my Qin family, my Qin family's industry will definitely not be able to support it for three years, and after three years, that will be the real family ruin."
"Haven't you heard a sentence, endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky?"
"Our Qin family has been inherited for thousands of years, and it has fallen into such a situation today, is there still a way to retreat, second brother, you ask yourself, over the years, the Luo family has bullied my Qin family, what have you done, you are retreating step by step, retreating to today, so that the Qin family has no way to retreat, but it's you, second brother, the private industry is getting more and more prosperous, and it won't be long before you want to propose a separation." ”
"Fourth, let's get down to business, don't interject the topic, today we all gather together, and it is also for the fate of the Qin family, so let's do it, everyone is here today, raise your hands to vote, this time the fee, pay or not, people are still waiting for a reply, but I remind you first, if you pay it, you are a friend of the Luo family, and if you don't pay, you are the enemy of the Luo family. ”
The second eldest of the Qin family has taken advantage of the momentum and forced the head of the family, who is the boss, into a corner, but unfortunately, in addition to the anger on his face, this head of the Qin family does not have any sound, just like a punching bag, in addition to being angry is being angry, with such a person as the head of the family, it is difficult for the Qin family to be undefeated
As soon as this threatening words came out, the hall was instantly silent, under the power, their resistance was very powerless, in addition to stealing their lives, what else could they do Except for a triumphant second child of the Qin family, the rest of the people were full of helplessness, the Luo family was determined to eat their Qin family, and they really wanted to hollow out the Qin family step by step and destroy the Qin family's thousand-year-old inheritance
No one wants to agree, and everyone is very clear about the current situation in the southwest, the Luo family is big, and no one can afford the consequences of not agreeing, even if it is the fourth child of the Qin family who was indignant just now, he can only gasp angrily, and he is inferior to others, so what can he do
