Chapter 12: Sowing Discord
Qin Shuai only followed the caravan once, and after the road was opened, there was a special steward to deal with it, and Qin Shuai no longer asked. The caravan was divided into three parts, one was left for the family, one was rewarded to the people of the caravan, and one was unceremoniously left by Qin Shuai himself.
Qin Shuai was now in charge of the caravan, and without hesitation, he had allocated a part of the benefits to the family to himself.
The Qin family is the Qin family, Qin Shuai is Qin Shuai, for Qin Shuai, the entire Qin family, and even the entire Aoki Town are just his springboard, a springboard that can enter the rivers and lakes, of course Qin Shuai has to think about his own interests.
During this time, Qin Shuai has been cultivating, using the resources of the Qin family and various heavenly treasures to improve his strength. Strive to reach the Demon Emperor, only when you have the strength can you have the right to speak, this is the truth.
Qin Shuai's life is good, but some people are not doing well, such as Qin Hai, the second eldest of the Qin family. Originally, the only person in the Qin family who was qualified to be his opponent was the boss Qin Zhan, but now Qin Shuai has sprung up, has enough prestige in the Qin family, and is also in charge of the caravan, he can go three or four times a month, and each time he can bring huge benefits, which makes Qin Shuai blush. The main thing is that these gains fell into Qin Shuai's hands, which made Qin Hai feel a great threat.
After walking around the house several times, Qin Hai frowned and said: "Mother, you can't go on like this, this Qin Shuai's reputation in the family has been completely reversed, and the income of the caravan has directly doubled in his hands, if you continue like this, I will lose in a year! The caravan can no longer remain in Qin Shuai's hands!" The third lady frowned and said: "You want this caravan? It's not so easy, the lord won't give you this caravan." ”
Qin Hai's eyes showed a hint of coldness and said, "Father won't give it to me, but what if the eldest brother wants him?
Speaking of Qin Zhan, the boss of the Qin family, Qin Hai's eyes also showed jealousy. The third son of the Qin family, the eldest Qin Zhan, was favored a lot when he was a teenager, and later Qin Zongguang was in retreat all the year round, although he also ignored it, but after all, he was favored. Not to mention Qin Hai and Qin Shuai after that. Only the eldest Qin Zhan, although he is not very favored now, is much stronger than himself. So even now, he is quite loved by Qin Zongguang, but Qin Zongguang has not shown it too much. Neither of them can compare to that.
The third lady's eyes showed a gleam and said, "It's not impossible, I'll try." ”
At this time, the third lady came to Qin Zhan's mansion and asked the attendant to report it. Although the eldest lady was surprised, she still greeted me with a smile: "My sister came to me today, why didn't you say it in advance." Qin Zhan also followed behind the eldest lady and respectfully shouted Sanniang.
The third lady smiled and nodded, and after pulling people into the house, she said lightly: "Sister, I'm just here to chat, and I need to say anything in advance? By the way, those shops under Zhan'er are not bad, right?
The eldest lady's complexion changed, and she hurriedly said: "Zhan'er's shops are inns and restaurants, and the income is not much, except for the ones handed over to the family, there is not much silver, our family is a martial arts family, not a business family, our Zhan'er to compete for the position of heir, relying on cultivation talent, as well as the kung fu realm, so this income is just right." ”
Seeing that the eldest lady seemed to have misunderstood her meaning, the third lady smiled and said: "Sister misunderstood, I didn't mean that, Zhan'er is not young now, no matter whether he can compete for the head of the family or not, how can he hold some business with more income in his hand, just like sister, you just said, those businesses in Zhan'er's hands are not very profitable." ”
The eyes of the eldest lady and Qin Zhan were bright, and the eldest lady said without moving: "But there are so many businesses in the Qin family, and the master has already given those shops to Qin Zhan, I will ask for it again, some of them are too ignorant." ”
The third lady stood up and said, "No matter what the master wants, but you can exchange it with others, I heard that Qin Shuai's caravan has been making good profits recently, and the profits of the caravan have more than doubled even in his hands." ”
After finishing speaking, the third lady turned around and left directly, she believed that the other party would understand what she meant. After the third lady left, the eldest lady and Qin Zhan glanced at each other, and the two of them almost made up their minds. With Qin Shuai, who has no background, is like a fart before, and is not liked by Qin Zongguang, they will definitely be able to grab it.
Early the next morning, Qin Shuai was cultivating in his courtyard, when someone suddenly knocked on the door outside the house, he opened the door, and an old man stood outside the door and said, "Third son, the master called you to go over." ”
The person who came was Steward Chen, and Qin Shuai also knew that this Steward Chen was Qin Zongguang's personal butler, although he didn't care about specific affairs, his status in the Qin family was much higher than that housekeeper. And this Steward Chen is also very polite to Qin Shuai, in Qin Shuai's memory, when he was in the Qin family before, those elders and uncles of the Qin family, as well as the big butler of the level of the road steward, had a very arrogant attitude towards him, only this Chen steward could call him the third son every time he saw Qin Shuai.
Reciprocating the favor, Qin Shuai was also very polite to this Steward Chen, he nodded and said, "Steward Chen, wait a minute, I'll change my clothes and go over." After changing his clothes, Qin Shuai went to Qin Zongguang's residence with Steward Chen, but on the way, Steward Chen suddenly said: "Third son, wait for what the master says, and I hope you can calm down." Speaking of this, Steward Chen also sighed, Qin Zongguang did a bit too much in some things, but the family struggle is so cruel and ruthless, there is no so-called fairness at all, he is just worried that this third prince's current personality is a little radical, in case he does something that should not be done in Qin Zongguang, it will be a little bad.
Hearing Steward Chen say this, Qin Shuai immediately knew that this time it was estimated that there was nothing good. However, Qin Shuai still smiled and nodded: "Thank you Steward Chen for reminding me, I am measured." ”
After being reborn, the memories of the two lives fused, and naturally the memories of Qin Shuai in the previous life took the initiative, but the memories of this life also affected his character somewhat. In his previous life, Qin Shuai's personality tended to be gloomy and calm, he had a plan to do things, and he saw things very thoroughly. And Qin Shuai's previous character in this life was cowardly and reckless, this kind of character did not affect Qin Shuai, on the contrary, in the mining area, Qin Shuai in this life was contaminated with some tyrannical and crazy temperament, but it somewhat affected Qin Shuai's character now.
Qin Shuai was led into Qin Zongguang's study by Steward Chen, and at this time, in addition to Qin Zongguang's study, there was also the boss Qin Zhan.
"I've seen my father. Qin Shuai saluted Qin Zongguang, although Qin Zhan was a little arrogant on his side, but he also arched his hand at Qin Shuai, and said with respect on his face: "Third brother." ”
Qin Shuai's eyes narrowed, his eldest brother had never called him a few times since he was a child. Seeing Qin Shuai coming, Qin Zongguang coughed and said, "Sit down, I asked you to come today to discuss something with you." ”
Qin Shuai arched his hand and said, "If there is something my father, just say it." ”
Qin Zongguang said: "During this time, your caravan has developed well, I didn't expect that you have been training in the mining area for a year, but you have grown a lot, no matter whether you can become the heir of my Qin family in the future, but you will definitely be the mainstay of my Qin family in the future, so you brothers must be harmonious and help each other." ”
Qin Shuai frowned secretly, Qin Zongguang's words were a little strange, what was the situation with their brothers, Qin Zongguang didn't know? But thinking so in his heart, Qin Shuai still nodded and said, "What my father said is true." ”
Qin Zongguang nodded and said: "It's good that you can think so, that's the case, your eldest brother Qin Zhan should go to experience it now, last time you personally led the caravan on a trip to the Malan Empire, which is very good, Qin Zhan now also wants to learn from your third brother and lead the caravan to experience." So I'm going to swap your caravan with the shop under your eldest brother's name, and let your eldest brother take care of the caravan. ”
Qin Shuai's eyes showed a hint of gloom, no wonder Steward Chen wanted him to calm down before, his cheap father's preference was too obvious. Qin Zhan didn't go when the caravan was dangerous, and Qin Zhan didn't go when the income was low, and when he opened up all the trade routes and could be safe and unimpeded, he was ready to let Qin Zhan go, this peach picking was too ugly.
Steward Chen on the side also stared at Qin Shuai a little nervously, for fear that he couldn't help but be angry and attack on the spot. However, to Steward Chen's expectations, Qin Shuai was only silent for a while, and then he raised his head and smiled: "Since my father has already made a decision, then okay, I will give up the caravan to the eldest brother." ”
Qin Zongguang nodded with satisfaction, he sought stability in everything, and what he hated the most was that his son disobeyed his will. Seeing that Qin Shuai was so knowledgeable, Qin Zongguang said: "I will be content to see that your brothers are harmonious, in this way, the shops under your eldest brother's command are all inns and restaurants, and I will give you another weapon shop, and I will also hand it over to you to take care of." ”
Qin Zongguang turned his head to Qin Zhan again and said, "Although the caravan belongs to you, you are inexperienced, so you must learn with an open mind." In this way, when the caravan departs, I will let Lin Dong go with you. ”
Qin Shuai's eyes showed a hint of coldness, Lin Dong was one of the three strongest disciples of their Qin family, with the strength of the Demon Emperor, and was only responsible for guiding the cultivation of some Qin family disciples on weekdays. When he went by himself, the Dangyang Mountain was extremely dangerous, but Qin Zongguang just told him to be careful, but now that it is Qin Zhan, there are doormen guards with the strength of the Demon Emperor, and they are all sons, but this gap is not a little bit and a half.
Of course, Qin Shuai didn't feel unbalanced, he had never regarded this Qin Zongguang as his father in his heart, including the memories of his body's previous life, and he was only afraid of Qin Zongguang. Moreover, only Qin Zhan can enjoy this kind of treatment within the Qin family, and Qin Hai is not much better than him. Qin Zhan's eyes showed a hint of pride, and he first bowed his head to Qin Zongguang and said, "Thank you, father." Then he deliberately arched his hand at Qin Shuai and said, "Thank you, third brother." ”
Qin Shuai raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that the business road is rugged, big brother, it's better for you to be careful." After finishing speaking, Qin Shuai directly said goodbye and left, but there was a cold color in his eyes. The most annoying thing for him is someone to rob him of something!
