Chapter 68: The Widow Qing
"Master, are you having a good time!" Bai Ya endured his anger and said resentfully, "Then what now......
"Hahaha~~~" Liu Yu finally couldn't help laughing, and patted Bai Ya's shoulder vigorously, "What to do, you are twenty-one years old this year, it's time to marry a wife and have children!"
"Then you don't have to turn around and sell me!" Bai Ya said with an ugly face, "I have to think clearly about the major events of my life!"
"Well, sit down, I'll tell you about it. Liu Yu finally smiled and pointed to the futon in front of him.
Bai Ya sat on the futon depressedly, waiting for Liu Yu to say something ugly.
"I didn't explain to you before, first, you came unfortunately, and you happened to bump into the old lady above, not that the master deliberately concealed it. Liu Yu said with a smile, "The second is that this matter cannot be shirked, it is the responsibility that you must bear for the sect, and at the same time, it is not a lifelong event, it is just a trivial matter!"
"Is marrying a wife and having children a trivial matter?" Bai Ya couldn't help but wonder, "What does this matter have to do with the sect?"
"Oh...... Baiya, do you remember that before this seat, my Qingcheng Immortal Sect also has a large number of properties in the world?" Liu Yu said with a self-question, "Most of the Qingcheng martial artists are immersed in cultivation and are not good at managing their finances, so these industries will be handed over to the worldly big businessmen to take care of......
Bai Ya nodded, he knew about this matter.
The relationship between the Qingcheng sect and these big businessmen is like that of shareholders and professional managers. Qingcheng's secular industry is equivalent to a company, the company belongs to all shareholders, but the managers are professional managers.
Of course, the real situation is more complicated, and the industry that some large businesses are responsible for may not belong to a single Xianmen, and it may also be that many Xianmen have invested in shares.
Everyone is responsible for supervising each other, so that the merchants do not deceive their superiors and subordinates and embezzle the profits.
For example, the grain store that once lurked in Baiya, this grain store all over the cities of Yizhou has a lot of investment from the Xianwu Sect. Emei, Qingcheng, Yaowang Valley, and the local sect where the grain store is located have all taken one.
A peek at the leopard in the tube, you can see it!
The grain industry, which involves the people's livelihood, is controlled by the Xianwu Sect, which shows that the tentacles of the Xianwu Sect have touched every corner of the world.
This is also the main reason why the courts of the countries do not dare to act perversely, and most of the reigning kings are quite competent.
Martial artists of the sect enter the Tao with martial arts, and they cannot set foot on the peak of martial arts without respecting the way of heaven. They don't have much to do with power and wealth, but that doesn't mean they sit idly by and watch the kings and magnates corrupt the world.
Because the foundation of the Xianwu Sect can be passed on is still the secular people, and it is still the gathering place of the human race in Shenzhou.
"The Fuling Qu family is a big merchant who cooperates with my Qingcheng?" Bai Ya's eyes flashed and he asked curiously.
"To be precise, it's to cooperate with the Qingdu Temple!" Liu Yu nodded, thought for a while and said, "The ancestors of the Qu family have an extraordinary background, in the ancient pre-Qin period, Fuling was the Tong County of Ba County. There was once a strange woman with an untestable surname and a single name of 'Qing', because she was from Ba County, so she was called Ba Qing!"
"Widow Qing!" Bai Ya shouted softly, his eyes widened.
"Widow Qing?" Liu Yu glanced at Bai Ya suspiciously, "Ba Qing's husband died early, so it's okay to call her a widow Qing." This strange woman is very good at management, and her family's main business is mining and refining dansha, and she has intersected with my ancestor in Qingduguan. ”
Liu Yu said it lightly, but Bai Ya had already set off a huge wave in his heart.
He would know the name Widow Qing because of a famous novel he had read in his previous life.
However, the widow Qing did have a person in history, who once spent a lot of money to help Qin Shi Huang build the Great Wall, and provided a large amount of mercury for the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. It is said that Qin Shi Huang also built the "Nuhuai Qingtai" for her after her death.
It's just that in this world, although there is also King Qin Yingzheng, but there is no Qin Shi Huang, because the Qin State failed to sweep Liuhe and unify the world.
After the great fission of heaven and earth, Yizhou became independent again and established the Shu Kingdom.
"Then what does this Qu family have to do with Widow Qing?" Bai Ya asked curiously.
"Hehe, the widow Qing's husband died young, and she had no children under her knees, and after a hundred years, the family business was inherited by a nephew surnamed Qu. When Liu Yu said this, he said a little mysteriously, "However, there have been rumors in the Qu family that this nephew is actually the son of the widow Qing and Qin Wang Yingzheng......"
"Master, I can't see that you are still so gossipy! Widow Qing is a famous virgin, how can she have an illegitimate child, and she is still ...... with King Yingzheng of Qin", Bai Ya only felt extremely awkward in his heart, and couldn't help but refute.
In the novel he read in his previous life, he liked the female character who substituted for the widow Qing very much, and he really didn't want to be so "tainted" by Liu Yu.
"This isn't a nonsense!"
Liu Yu glanced at Bai Ya, very strange why he reacted so much, and continued, "Wars have broken out between Qin and Shu many times, because the Qu family is huge and has an ambiguous relationship with the Qin royal family, so the king of Shu once issued an order to raze his entire clan, and only one young son of the Qu family is left to take refuge in the Qing ......capital."
Baiya has no words now, the Qu family has nothing to do with the Qin royal family, and there is Qingduguan as the backstage, and the King of Shu doesn't seem to do this. It must have been the King of Shu who got the real evidence of the Qu family's treason, and the Qing Duguan did not intervene in the end.
“...... What happened then?"
"Hehe, although that young son suffered the disaster of extermination, he was too young at the time, and when he grew up, he cultivated himself in Qingcheng for a lifetime, so he also extinguished the idea of revenge. ”
Liu Yu said with a smile, "His own martial arts achievements are not high, and he later married a female warrior in the Qingdu Temple, and the descendants of the two formed the current Qujia." ”
"This Qu family seems to have inherited the talent of widow Qing, and it is not good to practice martial arts, but they have been talented in business from generation to generation. Today, it has become a big merchant in Fuling. Because they have a deep relationship with the Qingdu Guan, they have always had a tradition of marrying with the disciples of the Qingdu Guan. ”
When Bai Ya heard this, he finally understood.
The Qu family has done a big business, but it can't do it by force. Because it has a deep relationship with the Qingdu Temple, it has been sheltered in the Qingdu Temple. And Qingduguan also needs such a big businessman to help take care of the secular industry, so it has also been half-pushed and half-done, and has been enveloping the Qu family in the form of marriage.
This is what Liu Yu said in his mouth, "the responsibility that must be borne for the sect"!
"Yes...... Why me?" Bai Ya smiled bitterly and pointed to his nose, "Master, and senior brother, aren't they all married yet?"
"Nonsense, this seat is more than seventy years old this year, and he is about the same age as the old lady of the party. Your senior brother Xuanji is also about to reach the age of knowing his fate, how can he talk about marriage with a twenty-eight girl. Liu Yu lowered his face and scolded.
"Although you are not the only disciple of the sect under the age of thirty in Qingdu Guan, who made you the most famous? Old Taijun Fang fell in love with you at once, this is all fate!"
Seeing Liu Yu pretending to shake his head there, Bai Ya was so depressed that he couldn't do it, and said in his heart that this was revenge, who asked him to block Jingluo Zhenren and Liu Yu back then?
"It's a lifelong event, so it's decided...... Isn't it too child's play?" asked Bai Ya with a wry smile.
"Hehe, you don't have to be annoyed, this matter is a trivial matter, don't care!" Liu Yu saw his bitter face, as if he was very unhappy, and finally touched his long hair, smiled and comforted.
"Wait for the daughter of the Qu family to send it, if you like it, keep her, and you will be a concubine and a maid. If you don't like it, then leave her some blood and return it to the Qu family...... With blood as a bond, the Qu family won't blame you!"
Liu Yu said it lightly, but Bai Ya felt a chill in his heart when he heard it.
If he returns the daughter of the Qu family to the Qu family, he is afraid that this woman will be widowed for the rest of his life, and the Qu family will never allow her to remarry.
However, Liu Yu's words are not just affection, the human race in this world is worried about internal and external troubles, because of the relationship between physique and force, the idea of patriarchy is more serious than that of ancient Huaxia.
Even women like Lu Qing and Jiang Nan who were born in martial arts families, if it weren't for having a good brother, their fate would not be much better than that of the women of the Qu family, and they would be sent to marriage by the family like goods.
In Liu Yu's eyes, the marriage of the Qu family is really just a trivial matter. It's just that Bai Ya's concept was greatly influenced by his previous life, and he always felt a little unfair to the woman of the Qu family, and felt that the brocade bag in his arms was a little hot.
"But if I treat the Qu family girl better, it should be no problem, she took my ring just now, she shouldn't hate me!"
Thinking of the eyebrows and phoenix eyes, the noble and graceful melon seed face, Bai Ya couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart.
Liu Yu's revenge doesn't seem to be unacceptable, that sister looks older than him, but he doesn't reject the type of royal sister!
In his previous life, he couldn't get his turn in line because of his appearance and wealthy family, so there was really no need to pick and choose.
"Master, that Sister Wan...... When will you come again?" Bai Ya asked with a rare flush of face.
"What Sister Wan......? Do you think that the married Qu family girl is Mrs. Wan next to Mrs. Fang?" Liu Yu's eyes widened, and he suddenly burst into laughter, with a hint of banter in his eyes undisguised.
"Hahaha, good apprentice, you are so funny! Mrs. Wan is your mother-in-law, and I will call the daughter of the Qu family...... It's Mrs. Wan's youngest daughter, Qu Qiang, who is five years younger than you and has just turned twenty-eight this year!"
I'm bad, the stalk of my mother-in-law in a blind date will actually happen to my brother!
Bai Ya would really want to find a hole in the ground and get into it directly, but when he thought of Mrs. Wan's charming melon seed face, he faintly felt a sense of loss in his heart!
"Ahem~~" Looking at Bai Ya's face for a while, Liu Yu knew that he couldn't be stimulated anymore, so he coughed twice, finally put away his smile, and said solemnly, "Okay, let's not talk about it, you can go back today......!
Bai Ya nodded blankly, but as soon as he walked to the door, he finally came back to his senses, smiled wryly and turned around again.
"Master, I still have something to look for you!"
"Oh, what's the matter?" asked Liu Yu in surprise.
"Senior Brother told me a few days ago, you sent someone to Qin Di to investigate my background, and now you have the results?"
