Chapter 241: Marriage Proposal

The heavy snow showed no sign of stopping, and the north wind howled.

The pavilions crisscrossing the city provide a good foundation for the north wind, and the howling wind makes a sound like the cry of evil spirits, adding to the bleakness and beauty.

The extremely rare heavy snow is unique for Qingyuan County, which is located in the southernmost part of the land of the Hundred Kingdoms, at least in Qin Chen's memory, there has never been such a big snowfall, in the past, there were always three or two snowflakes scattered every winter, so that Qin Chen didn't even have the memory of a snowball fight.

It is precisely because of this heavy snow that the Qingyuan County Town, which is usually lively and lively because the New Year is approaching, is unusually deserted, and the situation of the lights is gone, leaving only pedestrians piled up several feet high and walking in a muffled voice like rice dumplings.

And these pedestrians, of course, refer to Qin Chen and his father Qin Zhong.

"Daddy, isn't this a bit of a rush?"

The snowflakes in the sky fell on Qin Chen's shoulders and the black bear felt hat, and they melted immediately, the tiger fur coat on his body was smooth, and the snowflakes were actually stained in the slightest, with Qin Chen's bronzed strong body, resolute and angular face, no matter how you look at it, it is a bold and domineering party.

Of course, it would be nice if Qin Chen could get rid of this little daughter-like posture.

Qin Zhong, who was also dressed in mink fur when he walked in front, turned his head and hated to knock off Qin Chen's hands that were kneading the corners of his clothes.

"Chen'er, I don't understand what you're afraid of, isn't it just to meet your future father-in-law and mother-in-law. And your daughter-in-law who hasn't passed through the door, what is there to be afraid of?"

"But?" Qin Chen stared at a dark circle under his eyes, reluctant in every way.

Since the day I beat him, I knew that I had a fiancée. Qin Chen has always been in a state of incomprehension.

Of course, it is very common for men and women to be arranged marriages at a very young age, not only in Qingyuan County, but also in the entire Chen Kingdom, and even in the land of a hundred countries, and it is extremely rare for young men and women to fall in love at first sight.

Take Huihui as an example!

Although it was not explicitly stated, everyone tacitly acquiesced in the relationship between her and Huzi. In the future, as long as there are no special changes, when Huihui is sixteen years old, Huzi will come to the Qin family to propose marriage. Wait a year or two, Huihui will pass through the door, this is a matter of convention.

And Qin Chen always thought that he was not like this.

What teenager has never fantasized about going to the end of the world with a sword. Chivalrous and righteous. Robbing the rich and helping the poor, killing all the corrupt officials and corrupt officials, getting rid of the demon beasts that plagued the township, and being admired by all the people, Qin Chen thinks that this is his future, especially since he was a child, he has been in contact with those warriors in the iron shop.

Therefore, when his father told him that he still had a fiancée, Qin Chen was stunned. Completely confused.

I haven't been able to come back to my senses for the past few days, which also made Qin Zhong misunderstand. thought that the young man missed his wife too much, so he decided to meet him so that he could set a date.

"But what? don't go quickly, don't rub it, this is what your mother did for your boy, just for this day. A rough and powerful big hand accurately twisted Qin Chen's neck, and Qin Chen fiddled with him like a weak chicken.

Qin Zhong held the prepared greeting gift in one hand and Qin Chen in the other, and walked forward against the wind and snow.

Because it is extremely close to Dabi Mountain, the first stop for furs such as beasts and monsters must be Qingyuan County, and the Qin family is also well-known in Qingyuan County, and the family is wealthy, and one or two tiger fur coats are not a problem at all.

In this way, an old man and a young father and son walked towards Qin Chen's future daughter-in-law's house with different thoughts against the wind and snow.

The Yu family.

It is nothing compared to the entire land of the Hundred Kingdoms, but in Qingyuan County, it is also famous, and its reputation is not weaker than the Qin family's iron shop.

Same as the Qin family. This is also a wealthy family that has been inherited for more than a hundred years, the Qin family makes a living by striking iron and selling weapons, while the Yu family makes a living by hunting demon beasts and selling warrior armor, and these two families have had some friendship over the years.

More than a hundred years ago, Qin Chen's great-grandfather and the ancestor of the Yu family were both little-known little people, and they became martial artists by chance, but they were both refining one or two, and they were at the lowest level in the entire martial arts class, but for ordinary people, it was also high.

The bird knows the ambition of the bird, and the dragon does not swim with the loach.

In order to change the fate of themselves and their descendants, two young men became one of the thousands of adventurers who entered the Dabi Mountain.

Most of the adventurers died, but these two were lucky enough to survive and amass a fortune.

After this, Qin Chen's great-grandfather opened a blacksmith shop, and with a piece of cloth with forging techniques found in the vast mountains, he inherited a century-old foundation.

And the ancestor of the Yu family was extremely shrewd and aimed at the demon beast leather armor industry, which was still in its infancy at that time.

At that time, the warrior valued the demon pill, followed by the bones and flesh of the demon beast, for the demon beast skin, it was often discarded casually, the ancestors of the Yu family accidentally found that the sturdiness of these demon beast skins was not inferior to the general standard armor, such a rich resource, no one found it, it was really a waste.

In the early days of the business, the ancestors of the Yu family made a large amount of soft armor with the large-scale purchase of demon animal skins, and shipped it to the extremely cold Great Qi Country at that time, which made a lot of money and opened up a vast market of extremely rich students.

Although after that, various soft armor industries have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, Yujiadian Pù has gained a firm foothold, and the younger generations are also well-run and have been prosperous for a long time.

The Yu family.

Located at the junction of the aristocratic district in the north of the city and the martial arts district in the city, there are seven or eight shops in the city, and there is also a shop in the capital of Chen Guoguo, specializing in selling soft armor and clothing, and it is also regarded as a wealthy merchant in Qingyuan County.

It's just that it has always been heavy on martial arts, reverence for literature, and suppression of business, so compared with the Qin family's iron shop, the status of the Yu family is not very high.

Originally, no matter how good the relationship between the ancestors was, it is now weak. However, Qin Zhong was also a restless lord back then, and once sneaked into the Dabi Mountain, and saved the current head of the Yu family by coincidence. Yu Qianjin, so the relationship between the two families has been reconnected.

Although the Qin family is not as rich as the Yu family, its status is much higher than that of the Yu family, and the Yu family is also wealthy, and it can be regarded as a good family.

Therefore, naturally, when Qin Chen and the Yu family's baby daughters were born one after another. This doll was decided, although Qin Chen, the client, didn't know anything about it.

"That's right, Daddy. What's that girl's name?"

"You'll know when you go. ”

In the wind and snow, such a sound was faintly heard

It's snowing heavily, and it's really not a good day to go out. But relative to Qin Zhong's father and son. This bit of snow is nothing at all.

As soon as I turned a street corner, I saw an extremely wide road appear in the sight of the two of them, extremely wide, at least twenty or thirty meters. On both sides of the road, there are evergreen plants every few tens of meters, and evergreens are not a rare sight in this perennially warm south.

What made Qin Chen dumbfounded was that he was on the side of this road. They are all high-ranking families, just the gate. They are all extremely rare carved wood, and you can vaguely see the rockery pavilion that shows a corner.

On the road in front of each house, there were more than a dozen families shoveling snow almost every other section, so that although the snow was falling, the road was only slightly wet.

Looking at this road and thinking of the thick snow in front of his house that almost reached his feet, Qin Chen touched his nose without confidence.

Walking towards Yufu with a familiar car, Qin Chen was glad that his mother had to put on a mink coat by himself, so that he had enough confidence to finish this road.

After a while, I came to the Feather Mansion.

It's not that Qin Chen knows someone from the Yu family.

"Brother Qin, you are finally here, but you want to kill me, little brother. ”

Looking at this man wearing a noble coat, with a golden gold necklace around his neck, an emerald green belt around his waist, and a bewitching red jade pendant swinging around his waist, stretching out his hand, all kinds of jade wrenches almost blinded Qin Chen's eyes, and what made Qin Chen breathe a sigh of relief was that this legendary future father-in-law was full of ordinary teeth, not big gold teeth.

"There was a lot of snow on the road, and it was delayed a little, otherwise I wouldn't have made you wait for a long time, Chen'er, come and give you a salute to Uncle Yu." ”

Qin Chen only then had time to take a good look at this Yu Qianjin, with a big belly, a standard businessman, middle-aged, and almost all the problems of rich and noble people, Qin Chen really couldn't associate this Uncle Yu with the beautiful son described by his father.

Qin Chen had an extremely hypocritical expression on his face, and bowed his hand and said, "Boy Qin Chen has seen Uncle Yu. ”

Yu Qianjin's brows furrowed, "It's almost a family, isn't it too raw to call it like this?"

Qin Chen lowered the corner of his mouth under his head, and Yu Guang saw that his father was also looking at him with a smile, and immediately took a deep breath.

"Son-in-law Qin Chen, meet your father-in-law. ”

"That's right!" Yu Qianjin laughed, and her fat palm patted Qin Chen's shoulder heavily.

Qin Chen raised the gift in his hand, "A little bit of a small gift is a little caution from the son-in-law's first visit to the door, I hope that my father-in-law will not dislike it." ”

"People just come, and what gifts do they bring. Having said that, under Yu Qianjin's eyes, a subordinate took the gift box in Qin Chen's hand very shrewdly.

"The young man has long sword eyebrows, tall and big, this body is much stronger than us guys, his body is strong enough, not bad, not bad. "Yu Qianjin is more and more satisfied, although it is the first time to meet, but Yu Qianjin is extremely satisfied with this future son-in-law.

Qin Zhong, who was left idle, coughed, "It's snowing outside, do you want to talk about it when you go into the house?"

"It's the pole, it's the pole. Yu Qianjin laughed and led the two into the Yu Mansion.

Entering the gate, on either side is a small nursery planted with small shrubs, which have been beautifully trimmed, and in the center of the nursery, a straight avenue extends to the main hall.

The nursery is covered in blizzard, and the avenue is spotless.

The host and guest sit in their seats.

Calling a maid to call the young lady out, Yu Qianjin took the opportunity to ask Qin Chen some questions, and was extremely satisfied with Qin Chen's answer.

"My Yu family started from my grandfather's area, and it is the same as your Qin family. It has been passed down to me for more than three generations, and the sex is worthy of the mission. did not neglect the foundation of the ancestors, and it can be regarded as a good management. ”

"It's not just a good business, it's a rich party. Qin Chen muttered in his heart.

As soon as the voice changed, "It's just passed to me, although it is a good management, but now it is facing a problem." ”

"Oh, is it and the problem?" it was Qin Zhong who asked this. Qin Zhong knew about the Yu family's business, it was booming, and Qin Zhong couldn't see that there was anything wrong. "Is there some malicious competition, if this is the case, how can Brother Qin do his best. ”

Yu Qianjin smiled bitterly and waved her hand, "It's not. If it is malicious competition. The old man is naturally not afraid, this is a family matter. ”

"If you don't dislike it, you can sue us. ”

"It's not a secret thing, I was going to sue you. Yu Qianjin paused, "You also know, sixteen years ago, I met your younger brother and sister, and soon I had a little girl." It can be regarded as raising eyebrows, and the family is happy. It's just that. ”

Yu Qianjin took a deep breath, "Not long after, Hui'er died of a vicious disease, and you also know about this matter, Brother Qin." ”

Qin Zhong nodded.

"Since then, my father persuaded me to take a concubine and asked me to keep a boy for the Yu family, but I refused, in my opinion, why can't a girl inherit my family business?"

It's just that, for some reason, the little girl is not interested in this business at all, and even disgusted, no matter how she persuades, she is not contaminated, and she doesn't know anything about knitting and embroidery, just tinkering with her own gadgets. ”

"Helplessly, the old man only has this one daughter, of course, as the pearl of the palm, since she likes it, then let her go, even if it is a loss of family wealth, then go with her. ”

Qin Chen nodded approvingly.

Isn't that so?

As a father, if the son makes a mistake, it is to the death, and he shows no mercy at all, as if he is not beating his own son, but a dog, no, worse than a dog.

As for the daughter, no matter how big a mistake she makes, she can't bear to whip even once, even if it is a reprimand, it is also racking her brains to organize the language, for fear that even one sentence will be heavy, so that the baby daughter Pear Blossom will bring rain.

Comparing his childhood with Huihui, Qin Chen felt more and more so.

"Since that's the case, then the old man won't force it, but the family business is here, and he can't abandon it, little son-in-law, the old man has a building here, do you think you can agree?"

As soon as he heard his name appear, Qin Chen immediately came back to his senses, "But there is Jianyi, although the father-in-law proposes it, how can the son-in-law have a proper courtesy?"

"Good, good, good. ”

blurted out three good words in a row, and Yu Qianjin stroked the beard on her chin that did not have zài.

"The old man has a building, look at your body, it is also not bad, after you marry the little girl, there must be more than one child, no matter what, one of them surnamed Yu will inherit the business of my Yu family, do you think this is good?"

Qin Chen felt that he had been hit hard by a pie in the sky, and it was still a golden pie, he didn't expect that there was such a good thing in the world.

Qin Chen nodded hurriedly, "It should be so." ”

Even if I change my surname to Yu, it is also my Qin Chen's species, with the property of the Yu family, this small life is not yet nourished, unless he is a fool, how can he disagree, Qin Chen is not a fool, of course he will agree, if it were not for the image of the perfect son-in-law, Qin Chen would have shouted and went happily.

"But there's one thing, hopefully you can comply. ”

Hearing the chill in Yu Qianjin's words, Qin Chen sat up straight and listened attentively.

"I only have such a baby daughter, naturally regarded as the pearl of the palm, I haven't let her suffer anything since she was a child, although the daughter who married out and splashed the water, but I still hope that the little girl will not be wronged in the slightest in the Qin family. ”

"That's nature. Qin Chen stood up, "In our Qin family, there has never been a habit of beating women, look at my father, he is not obedient to his mother's management." ”

Yu Qianjin laughed, while Qin Zhong slapped Qin Chen's neck in shame and anger.

"There is another point, that is, you can't take a concubine, I don't want the little girl to be wronged in the slightest, do you understand?"

Qin Chen patted his chest and promised, "In our Qin family, there is no habit of taking concubines. ”

In the entire land of the Hundred Kingdoms, it is extremely common for anyone with a slight status to take a concubine, and the Qin family is also an alternative, after listening to this guarantee, Yu Qianjin finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and was extremely satisfied.

The next atmosphere is extremely harmonious, and the date is set, as long as the dowry is good, it will be a matter of course.

It's just that when a maid muttered a few words in Yu Qianjin's ear, Yu Qianjin's face became unsightly, and finally slammed the table.

"Nonsense, what nonsense. (To be continued......)
