Chapter 17, Xiang Family Ambition
Hearing Ma Ziwei's question, Qin Shuyu suddenly felt enlightened, and he sighed: "No wonder Xiang Jia wants to use all the power he can to stop it." Because, whether this ordnance is successfully delivered or not directly determines the fate of my Qinjiazhuang in the future. If it succeeds, it is possible to extend the sales channel from town to town to town, and if the response is good, it may even be directly connected to the county guard in the future. And once this weapon is robbed, the loss of money is secondary, and the credibility will inevitably plummet, and if the county guard is angry, the result will be even worse, at least the fat of Xihe County is afraid that it will fall into the mouth of others. As a result, the Qin family no longer has the qualifications to argue with the Xiang family. ”
Ma Ziwei said: "Young Master Qin is really smart, but if you know who the convoy responsible for transporting this ordnance is this time, you have to admire Liu Cheng's methods." ”
Qin Shuyu said with a smile: "The mall doesn't talk about friends and enemies, only about interests, this ordnance has a huge quantity, and it is transported to Danyang County and passes through Cuiping Township, so naturally you have to use your Ma family's convoy, and I want to come to my Qinjiazhuang and make a contract with your Ma family early on." ”
Ma Ziwei's face turned grim, and he said: "Yes, this time the Ma family plans to send two convoys, a total of more than 60 people, and fifteen carriages, and the stewards of these two convoys are the two who have reprimanded the Xiang family for being insatiable. ”
Hearing this, Qin Shuyu's eyes immediately cooled down, and said, "Liu Cheng and the Xiang family have a good plan, using the Blue Wolf Gang to rob the ordnance, attack the Qin family, and by the way, eradicate the dissident power of the Ma family." ”
His expression changed, and he said suspiciously: "But when the time comes, you can start to contain the people of my Qinjiazhuang who have their own family, and the Green Wolf Gang is just a group of rabble, I am afraid it will not be so easy to steal the ordnance from the well-trained convoy of your Ma family, right?"
Ma Ziwei reminded: "Young Master Qin seems to have forgotten Liu Cheng's identity. ”
Qin Shuyu was stunned and said, "Horse trainer?"
Ma Ziwei nodded and said: "Exactly, the horse trainer can tame the horse and make it irritable, so once he does it, he will first let the carriage fall into a riot, and then take advantage of the chaos to make a move, and then my Ma family's convoy will inevitably take care of one or the other." ”
Qin Shuyu was stunned, and suddenly smiled: "At this time, it is your turn to appear?"
Ma Ziwei also smiled: "If you really can't hide anything from your Young Master Qin, Liu Cheng will do bad things, but when he teaches me to train equestrians, he is still a qualified master, and then I will find someone to disguise myself as me and stay in the Ma family, and then I will sneak into the convoy, wait for the opportunity, and catch them off guard." ”
Qin Shuyu nodded and said, "Your response is very ingenious and thorough, but now that it is a month before the day of delivery, I am more worried about the safety of Xu's Pharmacy." ”
His brows furrowed again, and he muttered, "Xiang Kun is not a master who admits defeat easily, and I conclude that he will soon contact Liu Cheng to prepare for a move." And Liu Cheng's plan to rob the ordnance has been prepared, in order to gain greater support from the Xiang family, if he can spare his hands, he will spare no effort to curry favor with Xiang Kun. In this way, the situation of the Qingyu girl is very bad. ”
Ma Ziwei waved his hand and said: "You can relax at this point, during this time, I will pay close attention to Liu Cheng's movements, and as soon as there is news, I will immediately pass it on to you, and at the same time, I will also notify the township to pay the adult, so that he can prepare in advance." ”
Qin Shuyu hugged his fists and said solemnly: "In this way, I will have to worry about you, I can now reach a cooperation with you on behalf of Qinjiazhuang, and promise that Qinjiazhuang will do his best to help you eliminate those people with ulterior motives in the Ma family." ”
There was no need to think about it, he also knew the purpose of Ma Ziwei's cooperation with Qinjiazhuang.
Ma Ziwei's eyes really lit up, and he clenched his fists with some excitement and said, "Then I have thanked Young Master Qin in advance." ”
......
The streets in the Qin family's manor were already busy, most of them were women trading some small things for ordinary food, and as for those old and young masters, they were already bent over and working in the fields.
Qin Shuyu, who said goodbye to Ma Ziwei and rushed back to the manor, saw everything clearly.
Men hoe and rake to support the family, women needlework and shovel to keep the family, such a life looks monotonous, but very down-to-earth, in this troubled world, it is not easy.
While Qin Shuyu sighed, he also felt that the burden on his body was extremely heavy, and these ordinary people were able to live a stable life, all thanks to Xu Qinjiazhuang's strong strength.
Once Qinjiazhuang declines, it is impossible for them to be alone, as a young owner who is close to being reborn, he still has to have the responsibility he should have.
Thinking of this, Qin Shuyu couldn't help but speed up his pace, and wanted to hurry back to Qinjiazhuang so that he could discuss with his father how to deal with the conspiracy of the Xiang family.
After all, compared with Xiang's Manor, there is still a gap in strength between Qinjiazhuang and Xiang's Manor, and if you hit it hard, you will definitely suffer a big loss.
Along the way, the pedestrians on the street still greeted Qin Shuyu with a smile, because the latter had never made trouble in his manor in the past four years.
Without him, every time he came back drunk, he was carried by the red flame and blue wind.
What has changed is their eyes, from regret to return to expectations, thinking that Qin Shuyu's dazzling record of defeating Xiangjia Sun Biao and Zhang Quan has spread here.
Qin Shuyu also smiled impatiently and nodded, until his neck was a little sore, and an open vermilion gate was erected in front of him.
Above the door number in the middle, there are three gilded characters of "Qinjiazhuang", which are dazzling under the scorching sun.
Qin Shuyu's heels had just followed him into the threshold, and a clear and sweet voice suddenly sounded: "Brother Shuyu!"
In the midst of the call, a little girl carved in pink and jade took small steps and ran towards Qin Shuyu.
This little girl ran upside down with her calves, stumbling, a little funny, not as amazing as Xu Qingyu, but it could make the fatigue in Qin Shuyu's heart dissipate instantly.
In the past four years, the only ray of sunshine left in his heart is probably this little girl who has always liked him.
He crouched down, smiling and outstretching his arms.
When the little girl saw it, she didn't care about it, and jumped into Qin Shuyu's arms from a long distance, and a pair of small arms also hugged his neck very familiarly, and couldn't help but say, she kissed Qin Shuyu, and then giggled heartlessly.
Qin Shuyu picked her up with one arm, reached out to wipe the moisture left on her face, and then gently flicked the pink little brain, pretending to be straight and said: "Sister Ke'er, now that you are grown up, you can't kiss other boys casually, do you know?"
The little girl's name is Ye Keer, and she is the daughter of his somewhat raunchy Uncle Ye, who only got it when he was established.
Ye Ke'er suddenly let go of Qin Shuyu's neck, held her head with both hands, wrinkled her little nose, and hummed: "You are the elder brother, I am the younger sister, the younger sister is the elder brother, what's wrong." ”
When she was angry, the pair of glass-clear eyes were obviously bigger, and the crystal tears in them were instantly full.
If some people who have no self-knowledge don't coax each other, the river will burst.
Qin Shuyu couldn't bear this the most, even if he knew that Ye Ke'er was acting, but his heart just softened without obeying the call, and he hurriedly rubbed his soft nose with his forehead, and said dotingly: "Okay, okay, everything our family Ke'er says is right." ”
Sure enough, Ye Ke'er hugged Qin Shuyu's neck again, and said with a milky smile: "It's pretty much the same!"
Her eyes were bent into a lovely crescent moon, but her tears were long gone, as if she were doing a trick.
Just when Qin Shuyu lamented that girls were born to act, a middle-aged woman in yellow crossed her waist, holding a book in her hand, and trotted over, obviously being troubled.
The one who came was Ye Keer's mother, Ye Chenyi's wife, and Qin Shuyu's aunt Ji Shuqing.
The years seemed to have forgotten to leave traces on her face, and she was past thirty years old, but her face was as delicate and energetic as that of a twenty-eight girl.
Seeing her daughter hanging on Qin Shuyu like a turtle, Ji Shuqing scolded angrily and funny: "Ye Ke'er, how old are you, and you are still clinging to your Shuyu brother, and you are not ashamed, hurry down." ”
After speaking, she pinned the book to her waist, stretched out her hands and prepared to pick Ye Ke'er down, no, Ye Ke'er directly buried her little head on Qin Shuyu's shoulder, and muttered vaguely: "I don't! ”
Ji Shuqing's hand froze in mid-air, her face froze, and her eyebrows frowned, and she wanted to be angry.
Qin Shuyu hurriedly coughed dryly and said, "Auntie, teach Ke'er to read!"
Ji Shuqing withdrew her hand, her face looked better, but she still smiled helplessly: "Yes! This little girl, I saw that you didn't come back last night, crying and shouting to find you, and finally put her to sleep, I got up this morning to teach her to read and write, and at first she was quite serious, until the news of you in Xihefang reached the manor, she began to think about your brother again, I turned around a little and did something else, she ran to the door to wait for you, it really made me crazy." ”
Qin Shuyu rubbed Xia Ke'er's head and said, "I'm sorry, it was Shuyu who made you all feel uneasy!"
Ji Shuqing helped Qin Shuyu straighten the belt that had been rubbed up at some point, and said angrily: "Except for what you see with your aunt, it's okay if you're fine." ”
Immediately, she glanced behind Qin Shuyu and asked, "By the way, what about my family? ”
Ye Ke'er raised her head again, learned her mother's questioning tone, and said, "Yes, what about my bad old man's father, why didn't he come back with Brother Shu Yu." ”
Qin Shuyu scratched Ye Ke'er's nose and said speechlessly: "Daddy is daddy, what a bad old man." ”
Looking at Ji Shuqing again, he blushed rarely, touched the back of his head, and said in a loud voice: "I asked Uncle Ye to help me send someone back to Cuiping Township." ”
A strange smile hung on the corner of Ji Shuqing's mouth, and said, "It's the girl named Xu Qingyu, tell your aunt, how is she?"
Qin Shuyu also smiled: "I think she is as beautiful as you aunt." ”
Hearing this, Ji Shuqing suddenly smiled and bent over, and said, "As long as your mouth is sweet, then you have to hurry up and bring her to the manor and give everyone a palm." ”
Without giving Qin Shuyu a chance to answer, Ye Ke'er let go of a hand and grabbed Qin Shuyu's ear, and said angrily: "Brother Shuyu, is that sister as good-looking?"
Feeling that Ye Ke'er's fleshy little hand had a tendency to pull out his ears at any time, Qin Shuyu was speechless in his heart for a while, and said in his heart, Didn't you make it clear that you want me to praise you for being beautiful!
Of course, he didn't really care about a little girl, so he laughed and said, "Our family Kerr is the most beautiful girl in the world." ”
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Ye Ke'er smiled again and gave a saliva on Qin Shuyu's face.
Ji Shuqing held her forehead with her hand, feeling helpless, and said in her heart that this little girl must have passed on her father's stinky problem, and she didn't understand the rules at all.
Qin Shuyu shook his head at Ji Shuqing with a smile, signaling that he didn't care, and then put Ye Ke'er on the ground, and squatted down and said, "Okay Ke'er, Brother Shuyu is going to see your uncle and aunt now, you go to study hard with your mother first, and I'll come over to play with you later, okay?"
Ye Ke'er pursed her mouth and said reluctantly: "But ......"
Qin Shuyu said: "If Brother Shu Yu doesn't go, the eldest uncle will punish me, do you want to see Brother Shu Yu get punished?"
Ye Ke'er opened her mouth wide and said, "Ah! Brother Shuyu, hurry up, the eldest uncle is very fierce." ”
In the entire Qinjiazhuang, only this eldest uncle can shock her.
Qin Shuyu smiled and said, "You should also go to study, Brother Shuyu will test you later." ”
