Qin Mansion.
In today's Zhongjing City, it specifically refers to the several generations of descendants, top relatives, and the richest Qin family in the world. As for the residence of the current Prime Minister Qin Weizhong, who seems to come from the same sect, everyone generally calls it Xiangfu.
In the Qin Mansion, with its carved beams and painted pillars, and its graceful corridors, the palace has already accumulated the ultimate luxury.
In one of the courtyards, there were crisp sounds.
A steward of the Qin Mansion stood aside, calmly watching his young master smashing several courtyards in Zhongjing City as if he was letting off steam.
After a while, when Qin Yuwen made no movement, he slowly spoke, "Young master, this matter cannot be done. It is not a big deal to temporarily withdraw the manpower and admit defeat. Then we can make plans and rearrange the layout. Qin The reason why our family has survived the ups and downs of the empire for so many years is because the Qin family considers themselves merchants and never bet on temporary success, but only care about the final victory or defeat."
Qin Yuwen slowly fell silent after hearing this. As the undisputed heir of the Qin family, he was naturally familiar with this kind of education since he was a child. But knowing means knowing, and understanding means understanding. After all, how could he possibly be a young man with a young mind? Act as if nothing happened!
Seeing that he was quite proud of himself, the plan that he thought could be achieved easily was resolved by Xia Jingyun so lightly, and he had to withdraw all the useless back-up moves. This kind of frustration made him feel very arrogant. Uncomfortable.
The real humiliation is that Xia Jingyun has made a huge contribution in turning things around. It is as if someone else has cuckolded him, but he has arranged it himself. Unless he has a special hobby, no one can tolerate it. .
"No! There is no need to withdraw everything, there is still hope for this matter!"
Qin Yuwen suddenly had a flash of inspiration and looked at the steward in front of him with stern eyes, "You have to know that both the General Supervisor and the Stone Record belong to His Majesty's inner treasury. Xia Jingyun said this because he was the inventor of the precious mirror. With some eloquence, His Majesty gave him this opportunity. But in fact, will the money be given to him completely? Can it be given to him completely? Impossible!"
He used words to sort out his thoughts, and his confidence returned to his body. He raised his chest and raised his head and said: "If we continue the offensive, or even increase the offensive, and force Xia Jingyun to misappropriate all the money, with the temperament of our Majesty, , will it make him extremely happy and sad?”
The steward hesitated and thought for a while, tried hard to choose his words, and said slowly: "Sir, I don't think that a person who can do such a thing would make such a stupid mistake on such an issue."
Qin Yuwen's expression was stagnant. After a moment, he waved his hand half-heartedly, "You can go down first."
The steward turned and left, feeling somewhat relaxed as if he had been granted amnesty.
Qin Yuwen sighed, lying on the couch with his back stretched out, looking up at the high roof.
Helpless, powerless, and boring.
There was a slight creak of a loose leaf, and Qin Yuwen remained motionless, with a bit of dissatisfaction, "Go down if I tell you to, and don't bother me!"
"The heir of the Qin family is so virtuous. If he talks about it, he will probably make people laugh out loud."
Qin Yuwen stood up in a hurry and looked at his sister with a hint of panic, "Why are you here?"
The fragments on the ground were like the crumpled and slimy evidence of guilt after a slow motion of the left and right hands. At this moment, being exposed in front of his family made him feel restless and embarrassed, and his toes clenched.
Qin Li seemed not to have seen this, and sat down calmly, "I know everything. I thought you just disliked Mr. Xia, but I didn't expect that there were such twists and turns."
Qin Yuwen seemed to have found an outlet to vent his emotions immediately, and said excitedly: "I just don't want to tell you! You are my little sister. For you, the eldest brother is willing to suffer some injustice; for you, the situation I personally set up, I can No; for you, I am willing to pour him tens of thousands of taels of silver, which is like burying myself in person. Little sister, the eldest brother is really not such a petty person. It is really that Xia Jingyun bullied others too much. I have given in many times, and he If he presses harder every step of the way, if he doesn’t teach him a lesson, he will really be bullied into thinking that my Qin family is weak!"
Qin Li listened to her brother's story calmly. The hem of her long blue dress was like the calm water of the river. After listening, she whispered: "But brother, don't you really think you did anything wrong?"
Qin Yuwen turned his head in surprise and met Qin Li's beautiful eyes with complicated eyes. After pondering for a moment, he immediately realized that his sister was also a woman, so he must have felt the same way.
So he said, "Yes, Changkong was indeed a bit domineering regarding that woman, but I have already reprimanded him. Do I still want to hold on to her? He went to Liuyun Tianxiang Pavilion to question me in public. I Not angry, but he refused to give up, and even said harsh words. If I let him go, where would my face be? Being an enemy of a brothel girl, doesn't this mean that the Qin family doesn't take it seriously? !”
Qin Yuwen's words were full of indignation, but they were not recognized by Qin Li as expected.
"Brother, isn't the life of a brothel woman not life? In your eyes, a human life is enough if you reprimand it? If you hold on to it any longer, you won't give you face? If you want to fight with my Qin family for this? The enemy just doesn’t take the Qin family seriously?”
There was a bit of disappointment in her eyes, "Is your face and the Qin family's face gained and consolidated through these methods?"
"You!" Qin Yuwen stood up and pointed at Qin Li subconsciously and angrily.
Qin Li looked at him calmly without blinking, "What? You want to protect your face by hitting me too?"
"Little sister! You are so disappointing to me!"
Qin Yuwen said angrily and waved his sleeves and walked out.
"Brother."
Qin Yuwen stopped.
"It's not too late to find your way back."
Qin Yuwen walked away with a puff of his sleeves.
The maid guarding the door came in, frightened, "Miss, you and the young master?"
Qin Li shook her head, "What can I have with him? No matter how much we quarrel, he will never disown me, and it's impossible for me to disown him. The real trouble is with the Marquis of Jiang'an Mansion."
She walked out of the room full of porcelain fragments and stood in the corridor looking at the sky outside the house. "At first, I only heard that his poetry was good. Later, I learned about his ability to manipulate people's hearts. Today, I saw his talent in business, and I thought it was enough, but I didn't expect that he would go out of his way to offend the Qin family for a brothel girl whom I had only met once, and even had some hatred."
She suddenly turned to look at the maid, "What do you think, I invite him to have a meal at Mingyu Tower and meet him?"
The maidservant was so frightened that she waved her hands repeatedly, "Miss, a man and a woman are alone in the same room, let this spread."
"Too."
Qin Li nodded obediently, "But I still have to find a chance to talk to him and find a way to persuade the eldest brother. Since this matter is the eldest brother's fault, we must admit it and try to make up for it. The Qin family has always been wise to protect themselves, don't do this To offend someone who is clearly going to achieve great things in the future."
The maid rolled her eyes and said, "Miss, the day after tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and there will be a lantern festival in the capital during the Lantern Festival."
Qin Li's eyes also lit up, and she patted the maid on the shoulder, "I'll leave this matter of finding out the information to you!"
Naturally, the maid didn't say anything. After agreeing, she looked at her eldest lady hesitantly, "Where is the young master?"
"Let him go first. What else can he do except go to Liuyuntianxiang Pavilion to drink, or go to grandpa to complain."
——
In the Qin Mansion, there was a dispute between brother and sister.
At this moment, a quarrel was also starting in Jiang'anhou Mansion.
Su Yuanshang, Gongsun Jing, Feng Xiuyun, Bai Yunbian, and Chen Fugui were all sitting together.
They were one party to the quarrel, and the other party was Xia Jingyun, who was alone.
He forced a laugh and said, "This is not a big deal. Why do you have to put up such a big show and let outsiders who don't know know about it, and they think I am going to do something stupid?"
"This is not stupid! Then there is nothing more stupid!"
Bai Yunbian was the only one among these people who spoke without restraint. He snorted coldly, "You can imagine that you are going to bury a prostitute. Are you going to commit suicide in Shilin?"
The second chapter is late. I originally said I would post it as soon as I could revise it, but as I continued writing, I realized that I couldn’t take it anymore, so I decided to write more and treat it as an additional update.
