Chapter 200: Drawing the Line

Three days later.

Qi family, thatched cottage.

After Jia Qiang came in and took a turn, she looked at Qi Taizhong with strange eyes.

Qi Yun smiled on the side and said, "Liangchen, speaking of which, I learned this heating method from you." ”

After Jia Qiang felt a dozen or so grooves in her heart, she smiled and said: "This is the recipe I am going to leave for my children and grandchildren to eat, the Qi family has a big business, why did you copy it like this?" ”

Qi Yun scolded with a smile when he heard this: "You don't come to this set!" ”

Qi Taizhong, who had been there all along, raised his eyes at this time, looked at Jia Qiang and said with a faint smile: "What is a stove worth?" The old man marries his granddaughter, and the dowry of three hundred and sixty can be spread out ten miles outside Yangzhou, and he only eats rest, even a family of 100 can eat for three lifetimes, is it not better than a stove for you? ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "Then you should slowly look for this wishful grandson-in-law, the Qi family has a big business, and I don't have this blessing, boy." ”

When Qi Taizhong heard this, after taking a deep look at Jia Qiang, he didn't force it, and changed the topic and said, "You, you're not very old, and you have a ghostly mind." set off such a big wave in the capital, and turned around and ran to Yangzhou to avoid the wind and waves. Now there is a storm in Yangzhou Mansion again, but it turns out to be a good start, hide and hide by yourself, and work our old bones to help you. ”

Jia Qiang said "eh", and Zhengse denied: "Old man, don't put me on the fire, I have a few catties and a few taels, I know it in my heart." None of these things have anything to do with me, and I went to Sixi Building with Brother De'ang that day, in the final analysis, it was just a justice service, and it had nothing to do with what happened later. ”

Qi Taizhong's eyes flashed, and he looked at Jia Qiang and said with a smile: "The sum of the four families is more than 10 million, so you are not impressed at all?" Grab a handful at will, what is the small Jufeng Island? ”

Jia Qiang sneered, looked at Qi Taizhong and said, "You are worthy of the title of Silver Fox, and you don't need to raise your finger in the Yin people." Bai, Shen, Zhou, and Wu raided their homes for the convicted crime, and if I, an idler with no official position or position, dared to touch a tael of silver, I would not be able to keep my head. Old man, the Qi family has eaten a lot this time, shouldn't you turn your face and deny people and want to yin me, right? ”

After Qi Taizhong laughed for a while when he heard this, he said to Qi Yun: "Yun'er will deal with this son in the future, remember one thing." ”

Qi Yun hurriedly bowed down to receive the teachings, and Qi Taizhong said: "When you associate with this friend of yours, remember not to think about taking advantage, this is a master who refuses to eat even a little loss." Bold, black-hearted, and spicy-handed. Although you are a salt merchant, you can't compare to him when it comes to ruthlessness. I just asked him to dip some oil and water, and he let me occupy the salt pan in a blink of an eye, and his sin is just a sin of being punished, and if I do this, it will be the end of my life and the destruction of the clan. This kid, remember not to offend ruthlessly. ”

After Qi Yun responded with tears and laughter, he looked at Jia Qiang, who was sneering at Qi Taizhong, and arched his hand: "Don't worry, Liangchen, I will not take advantage of you in the future." ”

After Jia Qiang scolded with a smile, she sat down and said, "Old man, if you think that the Qi family has taken a big advantage this time, you can take care of Jufeng Island for me, and then reduce the salary by seven or eight percent, and I will appreciate it." ”

Qi Yun couldn't listen to it anymore, and said: "Liangchen, what is my Qi family taking advantage of, I ......" Before he finished speaking, looking at Jia Qiang's smiling gaze, he suddenly came to his senses.

If it weren't for Jia Qiang's existence, things might not have been like this.

If it weren't for the back path that Jia Qiang pointed out, at least for now, the Qi family would never have retreated like this.

At that time, he will inevitably fight with Han Bin and Lin Ruhai, and most of them will end up in a dead end.

So do it......

It's just that he doesn't understand, this kind of great kindness, Jia Qiang wants a Jufeng Island?

Qi Taizhong thought more than he thought, and the old man's face, which had a lot of age spots, gradually became solemn, which made Qi Yun faintly uneasy, but Jia Qiang was still happy.

Qi Taizhong looked at Jia Qiang and said slowly: "Xiaoyou, how optimistic are you about my Qi family, or ...... Think that my Qi family must have a good end, and it is not easy to get close? ”

Jia Qiang glanced at Qi Taizhong, smiled, shook her head and said, "Old man, you are too worried, the future of the Qi family is both overseas and domestic." If this road is taken well, even if you are a hundred years old, the Qi family will have at least a few hundred years of luck. How could I not be optimistic? ”

Then Qi Taizhong was even more curious: "In this case, my Qi family owes such a big favor, is it worth a small Jufeng Island?" ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "To the Qi family, Jufeng Island is insignificant. For me, that's really what I'm going to rely on for many years to come. Old man, I have heard a story about a husband and wife who were rescued by a scholar when they were in trouble. Afterwards, the couple was very uneasy. The wife asked her husband, "How can I repay my benefactor?" Give silver? Her husband shook his head and said, "Engong is much richer than us." The wife asked again: So, let's go and give him his life? Her husband shook his head again and said, "We are just hunters in the mountains, and our servants are like clouds, and our maidservants are like rain, and they don't look down on us." The wife was even more uneasy now, and asked her husband: Then how should we repay the favor? Old man, guess what, how did this Orion repay the favor in the end? ”

When Qi Taizhong heard this, his eyes were faintly strange.

Qi Yun thought for a while and said, "Could it be that he is going to be a cow and a horse again in the next life?" ”

Jia Qiang laughed and stroked his palms: "Brother De'ang is very right, the Orion couple finally decided to kill the scholar, and wait for him in his next life, and then repay him as a cow and a horse." ”

“……”

Qi Yun looked at Jia Qiang speechlessly.

Qi Taizhong couldn't laugh, and sighed softly: "Great grace is like great hatred...... That's right. Well, let's take Jufeng Island to arrive. ”

Despite this, the old man's eyes were staring at Jia Qiang as if he were staring at a ginseng fruit.

It's no wonder that at this age, it is not an exaggeration to say that there is nothing in ten thousand.

Jia Qiang smiled, arched her hand and said, "That's just right." ”

After gossiping about another cup of tea[520] husband, Jia Qiang took his leave and left.

When Qi Yun sent Jia Qiang out of the gate of Qi Garden and turned back to the thatched hall, he saw Qi Taizhong's face with a rare solemnity, he was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Grandfather, what happened?" ”

Qi Taizhong stood up slowly with a black wooden cane, walked to the window with the help of Qi Yun, looked at the lake, rocks, streams and pavilions not far away, and sighed: "Yun'er thinks, why did Jia Qiang draw a line with the Qi family?" ”

Today, the Qi family invited Jia Qiang to come, originally to further strengthen the relationship.

Qi Taizhong has made friends all his life, and he does not skimp on gold and silver treasures.

As long as he values, money, beauties, antiques, mansions, gardens......

As long as he needs it, he is willing to give it, and it is elegant.

So elegant that even the Emperor Taishang gladly accepted his gift when he toured the south.

In this world, not every rich person is qualified to offer treasures in front of the emperor.

But I don't want to......

This time, he looked away.

When Qi Yun heard this, he frowned and said slowly: "Grandfather, although my grandson also thought that Liangchen's words were not complete, but I couldn't understand why he kept his distance from the Qi family for a while. Grandfather made it clear that even if he took a concubine, he was willing to marry a family daughter to him, and the dowry was so rich that even the golden branches and jade leaves were nothing more than that. Even I thought it was too much, but he politely refused. It can be seen that he really doesn't want to get too close to the Qi family. But I don't know, what is it for? ”

Suddenly, his face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Grandfather, Mo Feilin Ruhai and Han Banshan are still not dead, and they still want to move my Qi family?" ”

Qi Taizhong waved his hand and said: "There will be no such thing, Yun'er don't scare herself." The Qi family is different from the Bai, Shen, Zhou, and Wu families, and we have reached an agreement, they will never act recklessly, otherwise, they must be the ones who suffer a big loss...... Alas! ”

At this point, Qi Taizhong sighed and smiled: "Yun'er, you may not really know in your heart, the matter between your father and your second and third uncles is even known to an outsider who has just come to Yangzhou, don't you know?" Your father, who is ambitious and talented, seems to be elegant and generous, but in fact he is narrow-minded and jealous. As for your second uncle and third uncle, they all have the means, but one of them is too heavy, thinking that raising a group of rangers can empty everything. The other, on the contrary, raised so many talented people, thinking that it was a good thing to gain fame and make a name for the Qi family. The old man was famous, and in the end he gave birth to these three things. The ability to fight is not big, but the ability to fight is not small. Fortunately, the old man has your grandson. ”

Qi Yun didn't know how to answer this, and he naturally didn't have the right to interject when commenting on his elders, so he could only laugh and say, "Grandchildren only understand a little bit of truth, and they are all ancestors of religion." Qi Family ...... As long as the Qi family has an ancestor, it will be foolproof. So instead of worrying, grandfather should live a long life, no, two hundred years! ”

Qi Taizhong put his hands on his crutches, his old eyes were bright, and he smiled: "Yes, the old man has been thinking hard about the way out of the Qi family, but it is difficult to find a way out. Now that he has jumped out of the cage and finally figured out a way back, this chess game can be regarded as truly alive. Doesn't your second uncle like to fight recklessly, thinking that force can solve everything? Then send him to the sea, take people to the countries of the South Seas, and open up a new foundation for my family. Your third uncle likes to travel to celebrities and scholars, and likes Shilin Qingliu, so let him go to Jinling, the celebrities on the Qinhuai River, more than Slender West Lake. And so, they all did as they wished! ”

When Qi Yun heard this, he thought about it, since the Qi family will gradually liberalize salt affairs in the future, there is indeed no need to stick to the land of Yangzhou, but ......

"Grandfather, what about my father?"

Qi Taizhong's eyes narrowed, and he said lightly: "Even if the main branch of the Qi family moves overseas in the future, the ancestral land of Anhui cannot be abandoned, where the ancestors of the Qi family are buried, and it is also the place of the ancestral hall. Your father is the eldest son of the big house, so he will go back to his ancestral hometown and guard the ancestral tomb of the ancestral hall. ”

When Qi Yun heard this, his whole person froze, his heart was cold, and his eyes looked at Qi Taizhong in shock.

Qi Taizhong shook his head with a smile and said, "Originally, I wanted to hand over the family business to him for a while, and then hand it over to you." Keep your second uncle and third uncle together, one is to help your father, the other is to contain him and let him not do whatever he wants, and the third is to let him only hand over the Qi family to you. But now that the situation has changed, the danger of the Qi family's death is also going quickly, and after the back road comes out, it is not appropriate to do it according to the previous method. Therefore, your father left Yangzhou yesterday and went back to his ancestral house in Anhui, and your second and third uncles will leave after the New Year at most. Grandfather will sit in Yangzhou for you for another five years, you are outside, you must mature and grow up as soon as possible, don't let me hold on for too long. ”

When Qi Yun heard this, he went from shocking to excited, and finally turned into surprise, and said, "Grandfather, I'm outside?" Where do I go...... Isn't it, let me go to sea with my second uncle? ”

Qi Taizhong shook his head, looked eastward, and said with a smile: "Yun'er, do you know how a person can grow up as soon as possible?" ”

Qi Yun shook his head and said, "My grandson doesn't know." Grandfather was ......"

Qi Taizhong looked at this grandson who was the most satisfying to him, and said with a loving smile: "That's right, I experienced too much suffering back then, so I supported it early. However, luck accounts for more than half of the experience like mine, and there is nothing to learn, but let me start all over again, and I am not sure that I can get to this point again. You are different, you are not nothing, you can only rely on your life to fight, you have enough foundation to avoid the experience of your grandfather. However, if you don't experience it a little more, how can you really grow up and understand things? In fact, it is also easy to witness the frustrations and tribulations experienced by the people around you with your heart, to observe with your heart, to understand his game-breaking methods and his changes in mind, so that you can grow up quickly, and you don't have to be tortured and abused. Yun'er, do you understand what grandfather meant? ”

Qi Yun: "......"
