Chapter 268: Peeling Back the Threads
Chapter 268: Peeling Back the Cocoon
Feng Ge was reluctant to say more. Feng Yi knew that he was arrogant, and he didn't ask anymore, but if he didn't know the answer to this question, he would never be sure in his heart. I couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Xiao Ying in my heart...... But he felt that Xiao Ying didn't seem to need his sympathy.
At least he saw that Xiao Ying was in and out with his son-in-law every day, and he didn't seem to be as worried about the future as he was.
Feng Yi suddenly thought of a sentence. The emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry. Then he blackened his face and decided not to ask about it again. Anyway, the sky is falling, and there is his own master on top of it. With the mind of his master, he must have thought of a solution. This 'procrastination' is just prevaricating him as a fool.
The wind took the door out.
Feng Ge rubbed his forehead a little tiredly.
Thinking that Feng Yi deserved to be his most trusted guard, he was even more concerned about his affairs than himself. On the one hand, it proves that he is loyal, and on the other hand, it also proves that Xiao Ying has a very important position in the hearts of his guards. If it weren't for that, Feng Yi wouldn't have asked him so solemnly how he would treat Xiao Ying in the future.
They can be perfunctory to Xiao Ying.
Feng Ge has a sense of pride. I feel worthy of being the girl in my picture. You don't need to take advantage of his power, but you can also make his guards who are above the top look at each other.
Feng Yi is worried, Feng Ge does not have a perfect countermeasure now. If after returning to Beijing, her mother insisted that he marry a wife...... It's best to be able to talk about reason, if it doesn't make sense, don't blame him for being unfilial as a son.
Their mother and son are not so much relatives as they are common interests.
But even if it is a relationship of interests that are both prosperous and lossy. If he is really dead...... What's in it for her? Could it be that besides him, she has something else to rely on?
Feng Ge couldn't figure this out anyway. I have only seen those who went to the soup for their son, and I have never seen anyone who fed his son poison.
If their mother and son, mother and son are filial piety, he will be sad for future conflicts, but the relationship between their mother and son is ...... It's really a hell to say that the relationship between mother and son is really a hell.
It's just that you can't rashly expose Xiao Ying to the world.
His mother concubine will even poison her own son, let alone Xiao Ying.
Feng Ge was very glad about his previous decision at this time. Let the guards respect Xiao Ying as if they were respecting him.
If there is really anything wrong, he believes that the wind can protect each other with his life.
It's just that how to enter Beijing and how to act after entering Beijing still need to be considered. When I returned to Beijing this time, I could only win, and I could never lose.
Xiao Ying, who returned to her yard, read the letter selected by Feng Ge very seriously. found that most of them were related to the Qin family's relationships. Qin Shi recalls very carefully, as long as she remembers, she writes it out.
Like a festival year, several big families have dealings with each other. What kind of dealings are there in the open and in the dark?
How much to honor local officials, how much to deal with his subordinates.
Qin Shi is a girl after all, and she doesn't know much. But I wrote dozens of pages. It can be seen how extensive the Qin family was at that time. Xiao Ying's eyes were dizzy, and she still couldn't figure out what was the key thing in it. She deliberately made a list of the relationship between the Qin family and the major families in Wenxi...... Clans like this are actually a bit of a huddle. Most of them are married to each other, and the girls of this family marry into that family. The girl from that family married into another family. The son of this family married this family, and the girl of this family married another family. If you count it in detail, it is all the relationship of in-laws.
For example, Mrs. Qin was born in one of the best families in Wenxi at that time.
It's just that a few years after Mrs. Qin married into the Qin family, her mother's family suddenly declined.
According to Qin's letter, when she was four or five years old, her maternal grandfather started a fur business, and it is said that he staked all the family's silver at that time.
If it is profitable, it will naturally be full of money, but it should be a profitable business, but because of the continuous rain that year, the fur is moldy and worms, and it is almost lost. She remembered that Mrs. Qin had cried for a few days. Master Qin felt that this was normal, doing business, naturally there were wins and gains. He just sighed that his father-in-law shouldn't have bet all his money on a business. Master Qin's policy is to put eggs in several baskets.
Reading between the lines, Master Qin seems to be a very scheming person.
He is very clever in doing business.
It seems that no matter what business you do, you can make money in the end...... It stands to reason that such a person should not form a mortal enemy with others.
The next day, Xiao Ying went to see Feng Ge.
Feng Ge really thought about Xiao Ying. Xiao Ying felt that she was quite useless, and she had worked hard for half a day, but the effect was not great, she only said that she couldn't see anything, but she felt that Qin Shi's maternal grandfather's family had decayed quite suddenly.
When the two families marry, they can be regarded as a good match.
So at that time, Qin Shi's maternal grandfather's family should also be one of the few wealthy families in Wenxi Town. How could such a person suddenly change careers and start a fur business, and the action was so big, that he did not hesitate to bet all his belongings.
Can they be sure that they won't lose money?
Xiao Ying said the question in her heart. Feng Ge listened quietly, his expression was quiet, and after Xiao Ying finished speaking, he slowly hooked the corners of his lips. “…… He also said that he couldn't see it, didn't he see the problem at once? ”
Yes. Xiao Ying looked puzzled.
Is that the key? But this is not only Qin Shi's grandfather's business failure.
No matter how clever a businessman is, he can't guarantee that he will make a steady profit in every transaction. So businessmen, ups and downs are normal in Xiao Ying's opinion.
Maybe it's thriving today, but tomorrow it's going to go downhill.
It's the same in modern times. A company that looks like a lot of flowers on the outside may be declared bankrupt the next day.
What's more, here, doing business is all about sight and luck. "You take a closer look, how long have these people who failed in business and eventually their families declined, dealing with the Qin family?"
Xiao Ying thought for a moment and recalled. "Three to five years ......"
"What about the Qin family's in-laws?"
Qin Shi recalled that she was about four or five years old at that time. Even if Mrs. Qin gave birth to Qin Shi in the second year of her entry...... Five or six years. ”
"Six and a half years to be exact."
Feng Ge placed a dozen pages side by side, and then swiped his fingers lightly. There was a long mark. "These people all have frequent contacts with the Qin family. All decayed over the course of a few years. Xiao Ying looked at it, and sure enough.
Although it is ten years in the east of the river and ten years in the west of the river.
But those who had close contacts with the Qin family actually lost their money.
There is only the Qin family, and business has never been profitable.
Could it be, this is the real culprit who caused the Qin family to be destroyed! Xiao Ying felt as if something had finally surfaced.
“…… I sent people to inquire about these decaying families, some of whom left for other places, and some stayed in Wenxi and started a small business. But in their mouths, they didn't even mention the Qin family's badness, if they asked, they would be grateful to the Qin family and help them when they were in danger. ”
