Chapter 203: Urgent Need

Thirty years ago, General Qi and the old lady of the Xue family were both junior generals under General Feng, and Zhao Zhengxiang, Wang Yushi and others were the same children of the family who went to the military camp for training. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After several years of polishing, General Qi and Old Lady Xue were sent by the emperor to serve as deputy generals in the Eastern Qi army. A few years later, General Qi became a general, and the old lady of the Xue family became a supervisor, and the relationship between the two has always been very good.

Twenty years ago, after the vicious battle between the Feng army and the South Vietnamese army, the Feng family army was disbanded, and a few years later, General Feng Lao died, and then the Eastern Qi army was lost, and the Eastern Qi army gradually broke away from the emperor's control.

At that time, the imperial court was greatly damaged by that war and could no longer withstand civil strife. So, they acquiesced to the Qi family and the Xue family to take all the old and young in Lianbi City and settled down in Lianbi City. After the death of Old Lady Xue's original partner, she married the daughter of a local merchant in Lianbi City as her stepfamily, that is, the only daughter of the big proprietor of Jubao Qianzhuang.

General Qi Lao wrote to the imperial court to take over Lian Bicheng, Zhou Changan had just ascended the throne, and the Qi family had actually already mastered the military and political power of Lian Bicheng. Zhou Changan had no choice but to approve General Qi's invitation, and named Qi Rubao, the second son of General Qi, as the city lord.

Since then, the Qi family has been in charge of Lian Bicheng's political affairs and the military affairs of the Eastern Qi army, while the Xue family has begun to do business, monopolizing the economy of Lian Bicheng and supplying military supplies to the Eastern Qi army.

Jubao Qian Zhuang is now the largest and most abundant money village in Lianbi City, and the Xue family also has the most famous restaurant "Jubao Lou" in Lianbi City, the best clothing shop "Jubao Pavilion", and the largest rice grain shop "Jubao Rice Shop".

Qi and Xue had a good relationship and were originally peaceful, but a few years ago, Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Xue passed away one after another, and his only sister-in-law, Xue Baokun, succeeded to most of the Xue family's industry. The Qi family was very annoyed by this, but it was also inconvenient to force pressure.

As for the Xue family, although the business is getting better and better, and there are more and more properties, the heirs are very difficult. In Xue Baokun's generation, there is only one brother, Xue Baoliang, and no sisters. And Xue Baokun has only one concubine over the years, that is, Xue Lian, who has married many concubines, but has not given birth to a son and a half daughter for him. Xue Baoliang doesn't even have a daughter, so that Xue Baokun is delusional to think of having a nephew.

The Xue family is rich and rivals the country, but no one inherits it, I wanted Xue Lian to recruit a son-in-law to inherit the Xue family's industry, but Xue Lian only liked Qi Moqian since she was a child, and she didn't marry Qi Moqian. And Qi Moqian is also Qi Rubao's only son, how can he be the son-in-law of the Xue family?

Xue Baokun couldn't resist his daughter, so he discussed with Qi Rubao that if Xue Lian married Qi Moqian, their first son would be surnamed Xue and inherit the Xue family's property in the future. The second son can be surnamed Qi and inherit the position of the city lord of Lianbi City. But what if they have no son, or if they have only one son?

The three generations of the Qi family are not rich in heirs, and the Xue family has already cut off the incense, who can guarantee that Xue Lian will definitely be able to give birth to two sons to the Qi family? Moreover, the men of the Qi family are not good women, and the old general Qi, the great general Qi, and the lord of the city of Qi have no concubines. Qi Moqian is seventeen years old this year, and there is not even a connecting room in the house, he doesn't like Xue Lian, but he hasn't seen any girl he likes.

Qi Rubao was originally reluctant to agree to such a humiliating marriage, but in recent months, the grain and grass supplied by the Xue family to the Eastern Qi army have been delayed again and again, and the soldiers in the army are about to run out of food, so he can only compromise and take one step at a time.

When General Qi learned of this, he was furious and couldn't afford to get sick. The marriage of the two was slowly delayed because of General Qi's illness. However, at the end of last month, the Xue family claimed that the grain in Lianbi City was moldy because of the rain for several days, and they had to go outside the city to buy it, so they dragged it down again. Qi Rubao knew that it was because of his son's marriage that the Xue family found such an excuse, so when he returned home, he discussed with General Qi and decided the marriage.

But unexpectedly, Qi Moqian resolutely disagreed, and ran away from home.

Old General Qi was so angry that he almost didn't wake up. Qi Rubao asked for medical treatment, firstly, to seek a famous doctor for General Qi, and secondly, to let Qi Moqian know that his grandfather, who loved him the most, was ill, and urged him to rush back as soon as possible.

After Qi Moqian came back, he secretly went to see his grandfather, but he didn't know why, he was so angry that General Qi gave him a slap, and he almost turned his back on him.

After hearing this, Zhou Tianqi and the others were silent, they all felt that this matter was really difficult to handle, and they couldn't think of a good solution for a while.

Lin Wan sighed lightly and said, "This matter is indeed not easy to handle, but the urgent need now is to solve the problem of food and grass for the Eastern Qi army." Lin Wan turned his head and asked Jin Haoran, "Brother Jin, do you have a way?"

Jin Haoran nodded slightly and said, "I can ask my subordinates in Qicheng to prepare some grain and grass and send them to the Eastern Qi army." However, now that Qi Cheng has been laid a net by Li Xingyu, just waiting for me to go back, the Eastern Qi army is not so easy to enter, we have to discuss it carefully and see how to act?"

Zhou Tianqi nodded and said, "I will go to reveal my identity to General Qi tonight, the situation is critical now, and the king of Dongli and the commander of Zhao don't know what is going on? ”

Changfeng also nodded, and said to Jin Haoran: "You give me a handwritten letter, I will first ask the brothers of the Shadowless Pavilion to go to Qicheng to contact your subordinates, prepare the grain and grass first, and then we will cooperate with the outside and send the grain and grass into the Eastern Qi army." ”

Lin Wan suddenly thought of something, and interjected: "I have to check again, is there any food in Lianbi City that can be rescued first? Xue Baokun said that the grain is moldy, is it true? If this is just an excuse for him, let's find a way to get the grain in his hand first." ”

Zhou Tianqi smiled slightly, nodded, and praised: "It's still Amu smart." ”

Lin Wan glanced at Zhou Tianqi, smiled slightly, got up quickly, and said, "Thank you for the compliment! After speaking, he sat down and continued to drink tea, as if the girl who saluted just now was not her.

Changfeng laughed and said, "Dare to ask Miss Amu, how can we get the Xue family's grain unknowingly?"

Lin Wan snorted coldly, raised her chin, and said arrogantly: "Chang Gongzi can go and inquire, this girl has her own clever plan." ”

Changfeng was stunned for a moment, and he wanted to know what Lin Wan's plan was, but he knew that she wouldn't say it, so he didn't ask anymore, so he didn't have to be ridiculed by her again.

Jin Haoran and Zhou Tianqi also couldn't help laughing, lowered their heads and drank tea, and no longer provoked Lin Wan, who was already angry. (To be continued.) )
