Chapter 5: Cheap Father-in-law

If someone could carefully observe the subtle expressions of the two family members, they could even see a trace of undeserved contempt and anger in their eyes.

Qi Tian led Liu'er through the vestibule the size of half a football field, and then walked along the atrium corridor towards the dining room.

Every time he passed by the vestibule and atrium from the mansion gate, he was extremely depressed, in this era when there were no cars, what was the house doing so big!

If you go anywhere, you have to sweat all over your body, and you can't even ride a horse, it's really... It's so arrogant!

Soon, Qi Tian and Liu'er came to the door of the dining room.

An old man with gray hair and a slight hunchback stood at the door of the dining room and greeted Qi Tian politely: "Second aunt is back! ”

Although the old man is not like the housekeepers in front of the two mansions, he almost has to put "contempt" on his face, but there is no humility and smile on his face that the servants see their master.

This old man's name is Ah Fu, he is the housekeeper of the Xia Mansion, he has been in the Xia Mansion for decades, and he handles the big and small things in the Mansion on weekdays.

Qi Tian nodded, which was regarded as a greeting.

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law is back to eat with you!" he walked into the dining room with a well-behaved face.

I saw a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous clothes, graceful and luxurious, with a fat figure, standing in front of a flower stand next to the dining table in a daze with his hands behind his back.

He heard movement behind him, slowly turned back to his body, his originally serious expression was also a little loose, and said softly: "Tian'er is back, Ah Fu will eat." “

Qi Tian nodded slightly, and sat down at the dinner table with the middle-aged man.

There was enough to sit at a large round table for more than a dozen people, and at this moment there were only two people, Qi Tian and the middle-aged man, and they were sitting on the same side, next to each other.

On the round table, there are already all kinds of delicacies, including fish, shrimp, meat, vegetables, soup...

Although it is only eaten by two people, each dish is carefully prepared and complete, which shows the extent of its wealth and luxury.

"Father-in-law, the son-in-law has just come to Yunhai City, many places are not familiar, sometimes I will get lost, delay the time to go home, next time if it is time to eat, the father-in-law will eat first, no need to wait for the son-in-law. Qi Tian's tone was very polite.

The middle-aged man who made a fortune is the master of the Xia family, Xia Zhengxin, and the father-in-law who was selected by Qi Tianbai.

"Lord Qi can entrust you to our Xia family, it is also a trust in my Xia Zhengxin, the old man should take care of you more, besides, now that you have married Xinyue, you are a member of my Xia family, and there is no difference between you and my own own child! Come, eat shrimp first!" Xia Zhengxin said.

Qi Tian looked at the sea shrimp in the bowl that was longer than the palm of his hand, and said in his heart, through these days of contact, he found that his father-in-law, who was picked up for nothing, although he was a businessman, did not have the common power and cunning of a businessman, but was righteous and fair, which was exactly the same as his name Xia Zhengxin, and he was really like his name.

His long and narrow phoenix eyes inadvertently flashed a fine light, fleeting, it seems that the breakthrough of "salary increase" has been found.

Xia Zhengxin found that Qi Tian looked down at the bowl, thinking that he remembered what happened in the imperial capital again, so he comforted: "Tian'er, the past is over, no matter what, you have now come to Xia Mansion and are my Xia Zhengxin's son-in-law, besides... Some people are in a special position, and the things they face are not so simple, and what you see with your eyes is not necessarily true. ”

Qi Tian was stunned, raised his head, and looked at his father-in-law suspiciously.

Xia Zhengxin's face was stunned, as if he sensed that something was missing, and hurriedly covered it up: "Although Lord Qi posted a notice announcing that he would expel you from the Qi family, didn't he find a family affair for you in the end? The old man also married his second daughter to you, even if Lord Qi hates you and hates you again, after all, tiger poison does not eat children." ”

Qi Tian nodded and didn't say anything again, although he could hear that there seemed to be another mystery in Xia Zhengxin's words, he didn't care much, after all, when he came to this world, he was already in Yunhai City, and he didn't have much feeling about the past.

When he woke up, he had already finished worshipping in Xia Mansion and had a nominal wife, Xia Xinyue, the second daughter of his cheap father-in-law.

"Tian'er, don't think about the past anymore, and blame the old man for not mentioning such a disappointing thing. There was a hint of apology in Xia Zhengxin's tone.

Qi Tian smiled and said, "The son-in-law is fine, as the father-in-law said, the past is over, and it is true to focus on the future." ”

Xia Xin's face flashed with a hint of surprise, and there was a strange taste in his eyes, after all, Qi Tian is only a young man of eighteen or nineteen now, but the free and easy energy just now is like an old man who has experienced vicissitudes.

"Father-in-law, eat more, Xinyue has been busy with business recently?" Qi Tian asked.

Xia Zhengxin put down his chopsticks, his expression was a little more serious, and said, "Yunhai City's annual Spring Yunhai Trade Fair is about to start. Tian'er, don't underestimate this Yunhai Trade Fair, at that time, the entire continent's wealthy businessmen will gather in Yunhai City, the largest transactions of the year will be completed here, so to speak, more than 60% of the transaction volume of each business is completed in the spring Yunhai Trade Fair, although there are trade fairs in other quarters, but they are all small fights, even if there are a few large transactions, they are all accidental. ”

Speaking of this, his face darkened, and his tone was a little guilty: "It's just that Tian'er was injured just in time, and Xinyue didn't take good care of Tian'er, Tian'er don't think about it too much, you must bear with me, and when you are busy for a while, it will be much better." “

Qi Tian nodded and said, "Father-in-law, these sons-in-law all understand that the son-in-law will not have other ideas, our Xia family is a merchant family, and now it has achieved such a large scale and raising so many people, business must be the first, and the injury of the son-in-law is nothing." ”

But he said in his heart, it will be good? It's strange! It's been ten days since he woke up, but he hasn't seen Xia Xinyue's true face until now!

He could feel that Xia Xinyue obviously had a lot of resistance to this forced family affair, as well as Qi Tian himself, and deliberately avoided it, and it was even very likely that she also hinted at other people in the mansion and deliberately excluded herself.
