Xia Yusi's husband's surname is Lin, perhaps why she is so interested in Xiaolinzi. And Cheng Qi's brother-in-law's name has been updated, which may be the reason why she always loves to urge changes.

Lin Gengxin, an ordinary Xuanjie captain in the Three Million School Parade Army of the Great Song Empire, has been guarding the border for many years. His family has been a soldier for the official family of the Great Song Dynasty for hundreds of years, and the highest has been the Dingyuan general of the fifth grade. However, in his generation, he can only be regarded as a rich peasant in the countryside - only less than 100 acres of paddy fields and two firewood mountains - if it weren't for Lin Gengxin's father who once saved Xia Li's life, then Xia Li would not have married his daughter to such a "poor egg".

It's also paradoxical to say, the eldest lady of the Xia family, who has been restless since she was a child, has disguised herself as a man on an ocean-going merchant ship, and has been to black Africa to hunt lions with hundreds of stinky men - there is absolutely no in-law when such deeds are spread. still refuses to stay in the embroidery building to embroider and write sad spring and autumn, but wants to show up, go to the newspaper to be a reporter, haunt some ninth-rate places all day long - such deeds are spread out, no matter how bold the matchmaker dares to come to the door.

So Xia Li covered her nose and married this "corrupt door" daughter to an unsightly poor ghost, and bought them a mansion in the city, but who knows that there is really a saying in this world that Wang Ba looks at mung beans, and the more he looks at it, the more pleasing it is. The unruly Miss Xia faced the former Xuanjie Captain Lin Gengxin, and she actually gave up on it, changed her past, and started to be a housewife in a down-to-earth manner.

Cheng Qi sighed at the magic of the so-called love, and then carried a small snack box, got off the canopy boat with his mother, and entered the door of an old-fashioned house located in the back alley of the river in Wucheng County.

Before he had time to stand firm on the thick ground, Cheng Qi heard his uncle's voice - he had been talking to his business partners in the city for the past few days, and he was not at home, and Cheng Qi did not expect him to be here.

"How many times have I told you that you have to be down-to-earth. In Wucheng County, you Taishan and I have a word, and it is not easy to find a position for you. You're a ghost, and you're going to go to the West—how good is it to go to the West? In the early years, ten boats went out, and not necessarily one boat came back. Or go to a hellish place like Heaven, where there is nothing but sand! Looking for oil? Crazy, what can this thing do other than use it in medicine? Don't listen to those gossip, the most important thing to be a man is to start a family. You are a military attache of the imperial court, not a broken man who wants to go to the West to make a living. It's going to make people laugh when it gets out. ”

Xia Li persuaded her son-in-law bitterly, but she didn't notice that there were two more people in the house. It was Cheng Qi who softly shouted "Fourth Aunt-in-law" to make him notice his mother and son.

"Come on, sit down...... What about the servants? When someone came to the house, I didn't know how to make tea. This family still doesn't look like a home. ”

The old man is really getting more and more angry when he sees his son-in-law. Fortunately, although Lin Gengxin was scolded for being bloody, he still remembered hospitality. Hurriedly instructed Kunlun Nu, who had turned on the theater mode at home, to make tea for the guests.

After Cheng Qi put down the gift box, he said a few polite words to his cheap brother-in-law. He shrank aside to see how the old man trained his son-in-law.

Captain Lin Gengxin (former) is eight feet tall and dignified, he looks like a northern man, and judging from his hands and feet, he is also a powerful martial arts practitioner, but at this moment, in front of the majesty of the old man, he seems to be like a kitten rather than a tiger in the mountains.

In fact, Xia Li didn't hate this son-in-law much, but he had his own plans, after all, a son-in-law still wanted to cultivate his son-in-law as his right-hand man, instead of going to the Heavenly Kingdom thousands of miles away to dig sand.

However, Lin Gengxin also has his own ideas, he is also an official in the Xiang Army, and he has a hundred brothers under him. And now that he is going home and guarding a hundred acres of mountain fields, he can barely make ends meet, if he relies on his father-in-law to eat, where will he put his manly face?

Cheng Qi slowly figured out the thoughts of the two from the conversation between the two sons-in-law, and took advantage of the opportunity for both of them to bow their heads and drink tea to replenish their saliva. volunteered: "Fourth aunt, brother-in-law." I have a word, I wonder if you want to hear it? ”

Scholars were highly respected in the Great Song Dynasty, and when they spoke in a crepe-like manner, it was easy to arouse the respect of others.

Xia Li had just been talking for a long time, and her throat was sore, so she nodded; "Tell me, what I'm saying is not reasonable."

Of course, the uncle-in-law said that the brother-in-law and the elder sister have always been affectionate, and after marriage, they parted ways. Now that my brother-in-law has returned to the field, it is an opportunity to get along with my sister and share the family business. Cheng Qi paused: "But a good man has ambitions in all directions, and it is reasonable for my brother-in-law to want to do his own business - and I have read in several Tokyo Times that oil has a great use, and after a little refining, it can completely replace the current coal." Today, not only the Great Song Dynasty, but also the Great Liao in the north, the Great Xia in the west, and the South China Sea United States in the south are stepping up the exploration and exploitation of oil and the development and utilization of petroleum products. ”

As soon as these words came out, Xia Li was unhappy, but Lin Gengxin was overjoyed, and he couldn't wait to hold his brother-in-law in his arms and hug him well.

But Cheng Qi still hasn't said anything: "My uncle-in-law said to me a few days ago that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall, I think this is very reasonable. Tianfang produces good oil, and it is not bad that oil can have big returns. However, geological exploration is an extremely hard and dangerous thing, and the Tianfang region belongs to the Zahu region, which is different from Chinese culture, the language is not understood, and the local government is also weak, and any accident can happen in the barren mountains and mountains. My advice is, let's get involved, but don't go personally. ”

When Xia Li heard this, she said: "Yes, Ah Qi is right." If there are benefits, we must go up, and if there are risks, we must also avoid them. Rushing forward stupidly, that's not what smart people do. ”

Cheng Qi said again; "Uncle, my nephew has an idea - it's better to excuse my sister's happy body, and my brother-in-law is inconvenient to go out. Let our family contribute a little more money to make the team's equipment good, so that we can share more benefits in the future. ”

In Cheng Qi's heart, there is still a sentence that has not been said, if he can get some shares, it would be the best. But he also knows that this idea is really a fantasy - people just hire you as a bodyguard, even if you really dig a big oil field, you will only be paid more, and you will never take shares.

Xia Li clapped her hands: "This plan is very good." Virtuous son-in-law, you will listen to the old man this time - your brothers in life and death, whatever you want is a matter of my words, pick up the best and equip them. The old man only asks you for one thing - to live at home in a down-to-earth manner and live a stable life with foolish thoughts. ”

Cheng Qi said again: "Actually, my brother-in-law doesn't have to worry about the uselessness of heroes, not to mention, if you want to find gold, you don't have to go thousands of miles away, just at the door of your home, there is also a place for your brother-in-law to show his skills." ”

Xia Li's eyes rolled, and he immediately understood the meaning of this precious nephew: "That's right, don't you just want to do your own business, the old man supports you, and a good man should be like this - of course, a man has to take care of his wife and children behind him when he does big things, and Yusi has been married to you for more than a year, so it's time to fill in a doll." You are the only one in your Lao Lin family, if you let you go out without leaving a descendant, I promise you that your parents under Jiuquan can agree? So, I still listen to the old man, just find a living at this door - by the way, which one hired you? ”

Cheng Qi hurriedly replied: "It's called Standard, Standard Petroleum Products Chamber of Commerce." ”

"Ah, standard, I know, our dock also takes their goods - their surname is Luo, his name is Luo Ke, and the word is Feile - I have also dealt with him."
