Chapter Forty-Six: First Visit to the Qin Family

Although officials and businessmen should not collude to oppress the people, it is necessary to find a protective umbrella for themselves, at least to avoid being bullied by those petty officials who hold chicken feathers as arrows. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoEspecially after the business grows, there is no protection, just like a fat pig walking on the street by himself, and everyone wants to come and take a bite.

Yin Qianhe decided to win over Qin Chong, the only one who could be a shield and was relatively reliable.

She inquired about the location of the Qin family from Hu San, but she hesitated again. Why should Second Master Qin help himself? They've met a few times and had a meal together, but they're not friends who can help without taste.

She returned to the store and sat sullenly behind the counter, thinking about how to get closer to Qin Chong. Since we can't talk about friendship, we can only talk about interests. But what benefits does her small shop have in the eyes of others?

I blame myself for being soft-spoken, my business is too small, and I don't even have the chips to impress people. The more Yin Qianhe thought about it, the more irritated he became, and his fingers began to tap on the counter non-stop.

"Alas, no matter, let's go and probe his tone first, it's useless to think nonsense here."

She closed the door of the store early and asked people all the way to Xifu Lane, where Qin's house was located. walked from the head of the alley to the end of the alley, but he did not find the Qin family. I don't know if she missed it, or Hu San made a mistake. To be on the safe side, she turned around from the end of the alley and looked back again, but there was really none.

"It's weird, why not?"

Then the door of a nearby house opened, and out of it came a woman.

Yin Qianhe saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to inquire: "This sister-in-law, may I ask if there is a family surnamed Qin living in this alley?" ”

"The surname Qin? Well, there is one opposite, and the one who sells tea at the mouth of the alley is also surnamed Qin. ”

"On the other side?"

Yin Qianhe looked back, and an inconspicuous blue lacquered wooden door appeared in front of him. The two simplest circular pavés on the door, with no plaque at the top of the door and no grand door.

This can't be the family of the wealthy businessman Qin Erye, right?

After thanking the woman, Yin Qianhe walked to the door of the so-called Qin Mansion suspiciously. There were several green bamboos on both sides of the door, and she approached to take a closer look, only to see a small door number from the sparse shadow cast by the green bamboo on the white wall, and the word "Qin" was clearly written on the door number.

It is indeed a family surnamed Qin, but it is a little different from the Qin family in Yin Qianhe's mind. How can it be so unpretentious? Shouldn't it be a high-ranking family with a red wall of Zhumen? Why can't they even compare to the door of their house?

She hesitantly reached out and knocked on the door a few times, and soon someone came out.

An uncle stood inside holding on to the door and asked, "Girl, who are you looking for?" ”

"Hello, may I ask if this is Qin Chongqin's second master's home?"

"That's right. Are you looking for our second master? ”

What a thing!

"Oh, yes. Is he at home now? ”

"Yes."

"Then please help me report it, let's just say that a girl named Yin Qianhe is coming to visit."

"Okay, girl, please wait a little bit."

The uncle closed the door and went to report to Yin Qianhe. After a while, he came back to open the door for Yin Qianhe and invited her inside.

If there are no special matters, Qin Chong usually stays in the floating white pavilion when he returns home. Except for some very important or unfamiliar guests who are received in a special reception hall, the rest of the guests are directly met at the Fubai Xuan, which connects the public areas of the house with the private places. Therefore, Yin Qianhe is also being taken to Fubaixuan.

Entering the door of Qin's house, Yin Qianhe was shocked again, this second master Qin was playing with a low-key and luxurious connotation home!

It looks ordinary on the outside, but inside it is a standard big family. There should be pavilions, pavilions, landscapes, flowers and trees, there is no shortage of them. But it is not the desperate piling up of the nouveau riche, but through careful planning and ingenious layout, people walk in it, only to feel the twists and turns, and the scenery changes.

Yin Qianhe couldn't help but think of the sentence "The winding path leads to the secluded place, and the flowers and trees in the meditation room are deep".

Stepping through a round door, you enter a courtyard. The style of this garden is abruptly changed, and compared with the place where you have walked before, it is like a sense of contrast from the forest to the desert.

Late spring and early summer are supposed to be the time when flowers and trees are in full bloom, but this huge garden is very little alive. A nine-fold boardwalk divides the garden into two parts.

The left and right sides are covered with yellow sand, and in some places it mimics the undulating trend of sand dunes. The sand is dotted with several strange blue and white rocks with strange shapes. The occasional raised pile of dirt is covered with a mossy green coat and a few dwarf shrubs, like an oasis in the desert.

At the end of the sand, there are two buildings connected, look at the plaque hanging on the lintel of the building, on the left is the floating white pavilion, and on the right is the Yingxia Pavilion. There is a green plantain in front of the Summer Pavilion, and there are no other trees. Only the tall trees outside the garden extend their branches and leaves into the garden, providing some shade for the building. Otherwise, Yin Qianhe would really mistakenly think that he had walked into the desert, although it was only a miniature version.

The two buildings are connected by a large terrace with only a few people on the platform. It was Qin Zhong who was drinking tea.

Yin Qianhe thought to himself: "Why is this Second Master Qin like an old monk, making the place where he lives so boring and desolate, is he cultivating in the Qing Dynasty?"

The person who led the way brought her to Qin Chong and retreated.

Qin Zhong knelt on the futon, with Fubai Xuan behind him, facing Yingxia Pavilion. The two buildings are of the same shape and look no different from the outside.

"Miss Yin, please take a seat." Qin Zhong bowed in greeting.

Sit? Where to sit? Do you want her to kneel on the futon on which he sits like him? What age is this, I haven't seen anyone who doesn't sit on a comfortable chair, but wants to "sit" on this uncomfortable futon.

Yin Qianhe hesitated for a moment, but still carefully "sat down".

Qin Zhong saw that she was sitting stiffly, her brows were slightly furrowed, and she said, "Miss Yin doesn't have to be so restrained, you can sit as comfortable as you want, you don't need to learn from me."

When Yin Qianhe heard him say this, he immediately relaxed and sat on the futon with his buttocks. But in order not to look too rude, he crossed his legs seriously.

As soon as she sat down, she first praised the Qin family up and down to show her friendship.

Qin Zhong poured a cup of tea for her and said, "The girl has an overreputation." I wonder why the girl came to find her place today? ”

Yin Qianhe scratched his ears and said with a smile: "You also know that I'm not here to visit, I just have something to find you." Well, the main thing, is to ask you, would you like to invest in my clothing store? ”

"Investment? Why? ”

"To make money, of course. My investment mechanism is like this, you contribute some money to invest in the shares now, and then at the end of the year, I will give you dividends based on the money earned by the store this year. To show my sincerity, I give you a bonus of up to eight percent. That is to say, if I earn a thousand taels of silver, I will divide you with eighty taels, and you only need to give fifty taels of silver, and you don't have to do anything, you will earn a net of thirty taels, right? ”

In order to let Qin Zhong understand what he meant, Yin Qian's eyebrows fluttered and he explained hard. But Qin Chong was as calm as ever, and he didn't see how much interest he was in it.

"If the girl can't earn a thousand taels, won't I lose money?"

"No loss, no loss." Yin Qianhe hurriedly waved his hand and said, "How can I be embarrassed to let you lose." Rest assured, if the dividend at the end of the year does not reach fifty taels, I will also make up for the fifty taels for you, and I will never let you suffer any losses. ”

"I would like to take the liberty of asking, how much money can the girl's shop make this month?"

"Well, after deducting the cost, it's probably less than fifty taels."

In this way, you may only earn 500 taels a year. So what's the point of investing that money? At the end of the year, at most, it is just to get the capital back. Qin is just a businessman, who moves for profit, tends for profit, and never does unprofitable business. ”

"Do you think you're making too little, or are you betting too much? Then I can give you a little more increase in the dividend ratio. Or you only vote for thirty taels, as long as you want to vote, it doesn't matter how much. To be honest, I'm a little short of money now, and I have nowhere to borrow, so I can only find you, the second master. ”

Qin Zhong smiled indifferently and said, "Girl, please tell me the purpose of your investment, the real purpose."
