223 A Thousand Miles of Letters for the Wall (3)
β¦β¦β¦β¦ 223, the book of thousands of miles is only for the wall (3)............
The private escort fleet recruited by the Qi family is all well-trained and experienced star warfare talents, including many retired alliance soldiers, if you talk about the strength of the combat effectiveness of the private fleet, the Qi family's private escort fleet can definitely be selected as the top three mecha hunters.
The Red Spider Pirate Fleet was chased by Lin Feng and fled in embarrassment, and the fleet resources were exhausted, how could it be the opponent of the Qi family's private escort fleet at this time?
As soon as Qiu Ci saw that something was wrong, he immediately ordered all the pirate warships to come back, this fat sheep bone was too hard, and now it can't be bitten, don't eat the mutton, but jump on the wolf's teeth.
The Qi family's personal escort fleet did not pursue, allowing the pirates to retreat, and when Qiu Zhi was about to give the order to turn around and leave, a communication request from the opposing warship came from the command ship she was on.
Qiu Ci picked up the communication, and the stunning face of Qi Ergongzi appeared on the holographic screen. At that time, she was worried about internal and external difficulties, and she was not in the mood to think too much, she just felt that this person was really good-looking, if she had to use any words to describe it, a sentence of "the person in the painting" was enough.
Qi Ergongzi's expression was indifferent, and that kind of gentle look was the most docile look Qiu Ci had ever seen, like a deer that had not been born for a long time, looking at her with swarthy eyes.
"But the Red Spider Pirate Fleet?" He asked lightly.
Akiji nodded.
Qi Ergongzi smiled, his smile was like a spring breeze, warming people's hearts. He didn't ask any more questions, but said, "Good luck with the last three transport ships of the fleet." β
After he finished speaking, he hung up the communication and slowly left with the Qi family's transport fleet, and several lifeboats flew out of the last three transport ships of the fleet. Quickly catch up with the fleet in front, leaving alone with three unmanned transport ships.
Qiu Ci didn't know why the second prince of Qi would help them, sympathize with and pity the pirates? It doesn't make sense. In a good mood and want to be kind? It won't help the pirates in distress, let alone be so generous. As soon as it was struck, it was the material of the three ships.
These three ships can be said to have done the Red Spider Pirate Fleet a great favor, allowing Qiu Ci to support in the interstellar for a full year, and the second son of the Qi family did it by chance. What a blessing to all of them.
It's a pity that she died in her previous life, and the last pirate of the Red Spider Pirate Fleet, the last pirate of the alliance, finally disappeared completely into the vast and lonely star. So she has always remembered this kindness, but she has never had a chance to repay it.
At this moment, when I heard Old Man Qiu say that Qiu Feng and Qiuyun had provoked the Qi family, I couldn't help but be curious, and asked, "Grandpa, how did the second uncle provoke the Qi family?" β
"It's not a big deal. As long as they take a step back from each other, it will pass, but these two guys have been used to the alliance in the past few years, and they have become a little arrogant, and they don't let go of standing alone, they really don't look like people who do big things! Old Man Qiu still sighed with hatred that iron is not made of steel.
"Grandpa. Talk about the point. Qiu Ci urged.
"Okay, get to the point." Old Man Qiu glanced at her helplessly and said, "Your uncle and second uncle took a fancy to a piece of land in Lu Qixing and wanted to build Qiu's restaurant on this land, so he found the landlord and bought it. Three months later, the Qiu family's largest restaurant in Luqixing was completed, and it could only open on a later date. β
Old Man Qiu said this, paused for a moment and continued: "At this time, an old man came, claiming to be the housekeeper of the Qi family. He said that Qiu's restaurant was built too wide, and the high walls on the perimeter blocked the sunlight from the back garden of his family's ancestral home. It turns out that the newly built restaurant is next door to the old house of the Qi family, which lives the old lady of the Qi family, who likes to play with flowers and plants, and specially planted many precious flowers and plants in the back garden. The new restaurant continues the fixed architectural design, and the side walls like to be built high. This blocked the sunlight of the Qi family's old house. β
Qiu Ci sat quietly and listened carefully, and when he heard this, he asked, "Then what does this housekeeper want to do when he finds the eldest uncle and second uncle?" β
"The housekeeper spoke very politely, hoping that we could tear down the fence outside the side wall, and said that he was willing to compensate for our losses, hoping that our Qiu family would be able to accommodate the mecha hunters." Old Man Qiu replied.
"And then?"
Old Man Qiu straightened his face and snorted: "Qiu Yun is okay, even if he is unhappy in his heart, he doesn't say anything bad." But you know that kid in Qiufeng, he usually has a short temper, but after listening to the words of the housekeeper of the Qi family at this time, he didn't save face at all, and he shouted back on the spot. The old butler sighed, said no more, and just left. β
"The Qi family won't be so kind to give up, right?" Qiu Ji asked tentatively.
Old Man Qiu snorted again: "That's why they sent me a telegram, and on the second day, the Qi family bought all the surrounding areas of the restaurant, whether it was the faΓ§ade or the building, even a garbage corner." This is a bustling commercial street, and Qiuyun and Qiufeng have opened restaurants here because of the large flow of people. Now the Qi family bought all the ground around and closed all the business places, and they made it a dead place. β
Qiu Ci couldn't help laughing, this old man of the Qi family is really a child, just to fight for a breath, he actually spent such a penance, it seems that it is rumored that the Qi family is the richest among the seven families, and this is not unfounded.
In the previous life, the second son of Qi waved his hand and gave her three ships of supplies and the angry behavior of the old man of the Qi family, all of which showed that this was a rich family, and money was really like dirt to them.
"And then?"
"Later, your two uncles who were not angry had nothing to think about, so they sent me a telegram, which means that I am an old man and a cunning man, and I have come to ask me how to deal with it." Old Man Qiu said seriously.
Qiu Zi laughed out loud with a "poof", it was rare to hear Old Man Qiu laughing at himself, it seems that he is in a good mood now.
She thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa, this situation sounds like a story to me. β
"Oh? What's the story? Old Man Qiu asked with interest.
"The great writer Qin Dongqiao wrote in a travel account in the southwest star field of the alliance that the ancestors of many of the inhabitants of our planet Nina came from another place called the Milky Way galaxy."
"We Ninaites know this, and now our lingua franca and writing were also brought by those ancestors." Old Man Qiu interjected.
"Well, Qin Dongqiao's travelogue says that he once talked to a man whose ancestors were said to be interstellar immigrants from the Milky Way Galaxy, and that person told him a story. The story is about two families on a planet in the Milky Way galaxy, and one of them repaired their house with a wall that took up the common aisle between the two families, making it impossible for the car door to pass through the aisle. So the other family ran to ask the family to tear down the wall and quit the three feet, but the family refused, so the other family wrote to the son of the high-ranking official. This family is not easy to bully, and when they heard the news, they immediately sent someone to find their son, who was the biggest official at that time, equivalent to the secretary of state of our alliance. β
"Listening to you say that, it's really a bit similar, but what happened?" Old Man Qiu heard his interest and asked.
Later, the son of the family sent a letter back and asked him to take it home, and the family thought that their son would help solve the problem, and if he said a word, the son of the other family would have to give up honestly. But who knew that when I opened the letter, it read: The book of thousands of miles is only for the wall, and it doesn't matter if you let three feet, the Great Wall is still there today, and I don't see Qin Shihuang back then. β
Qiu Ci knew that Old Man Qiu did not understand the allusion, so he explained: "Qin Shi Huang is a very great emperor, he built a wall of 100,000 miles to block the invasion of foreign peoples, and thousands of years later, this Great Wall is still standing. β
"I see."
With her explanation, Old Man Qiu immediately understood the meaning of this poem, and couldn't help but sigh with his palm: "The son of this family is really a generous and wise person, no wonder he is qualified for such a prominent official position." It's really rare to be in a high position but not to oppress people with power. β
Qiu Ci smiled: "Didn't we have a proverb in Ninaxing, called 'The prime minister can support the boat in his belly', he was the prime minister at that time." β
"What happened?"
Later, the family took the initiative to remove the wall, and the other family felt strange and came to ask why. So the head of the family showed them his son's letter, and when they read it, they went back and removed the wall of their house three feet. From then on, the aisle between the two families was wide enough to accommodate two carriages running side by side. β
Qiu Ci got up and helped Old Man Qiu up, and the grandfather and grandson began to walk slowly along the energy lamp on the floor of the square, and after a long time, Old Man Qiu sighed: "It's really a good story, and you should let your two uncles and uncles hear it." β
Autumn words but smile silently, the Qi family is low-key, almost never offends people, others respect them three feet, they are still a foot, very easy to speak. This matter is actually not difficult, as long as the Qiu family takes a step back in advance, the other party will inevitably take two steps back, if the Qiu family goes further, the other party will force three steps, the people of the Qi family are so stubborn.
She understands the embarrassing situation of the eldest uncle and the second uncle, it is just a chain restaurant, and the Qiu family is not as rich as the Qi family, and it is still at a loss. It's just that the face will be completely lost, and it will inevitably have a great impact on the reputation of Qiu's restaurant in the star field of the capital area in the future. Although the void of face is given by others, it is earned by oneself, and sometimes it is more important than life.
In fact, the Qi family has never done anything wrong, and if they can be kind to others, they will never be enemies of others, Qiu Ci believes that as long as the Qiu family takes the initiative to show goodwill, the other party will naturally not refuse.
She thought for a moment and asked, "Grandpa, you haven't replied to the telegram from the eldest uncle and second uncle, have you?" β
"It only came to me this morning, so I haven't had time to reply yet."
"And what do you mean?" Akiji stopped and asked him.
Old Man Qiu also stood still and said: "The story you said is very good, I originally wanted Qiuyun to suspend the opening, if our Qiu family wants to become bigger and stronger, and achieve a thousand-year-old family, we must not make enemies everywhere." After listening to your story, I decided to have them tear down that wall. βγ (To be continued.)
