The person who spoke was none other than Qin Ziyin's brother, Qin Huai.
Qin Ziyin is the youngest in the family. He has two older brothers. The eldest is Qin Wu. He is a bodyguard who is responsible for the Qin family's external bodyguard business.
Qin Huai is the second eldest son and is the only scholar in the Qin family who is studying. He is seven or eight years older than Su Qi'an.
It was only five or six years ago that he passed the scholar examination. Although he cannot be compared with Su Qi'an back then, he can still be regarded as a young talent in Lingbei County.
The Qin family is in the fabric business. In recent years, the business in Lingbei County has grown bigger and bigger, and the family's wealth is considered to be the richest in Lingbei County.
Coupled with the fact that Qinhuai passed the examination as a scholar, he gradually developed friendship with the aristocratic family in Lingbei County. With his outstanding strength and superb emotional intelligence, coupled with the activities of the Qin family behind the scenes.
Three years ago, Qin Huai became a leading figure among the scholars in Lingbei County. If he could take a step closer and win a high school diploma, then the Qin family would truly get rid of their status as merchants and officially become a powerful family in Lingbei County.
But these have nothing to do with Su Qian.
Ever since Su Qi'an failed the exams and failed the exams many times, the Qin family had long given up on Su Qi'an. During this period, in order to make a living, Qin Ziyin went back to her parents' home and wanted some silver.
This was a shame for a wealthy family. They tried to persuade Qin Ziyin to leave Su Qi'an, but Qin Ziyin was stubborn and refused to leave.
Because of this, the Qin family was extremely disappointed with Qin Ziyin, and they had no contact with her for seven or eight years.
When Su Qi'an saw Qin Huai standing up for him, he was surprised at first, but he did not reveal the relationship between him and Qin Huai midway, nor did he recognize each other.
Because so much time has passed, even other dignitaries in Lingbei County are not very clear about the relationship between Qin Huai and Su Qi'an, let alone Wei Yun from other counties.
When Qin Huai spoke, Su Qian was very calm. He sat opposite Qin Huai and said softly, "Well, Xiaoyin is pretty good."
Just such a short sentence made Qin Huai feel Su Qi'an's coldness.
Qin Huai didn't pay attention. He took a deep look at Su Qi'an and said, "Brother-in-law, you have really changed. The change is so incredible that no one can see through it."
Su Qi'an chuckled, "Haha, after going through some things, if you think about it, you will always make some changes."
Qin Huai nodded without saying anything, and the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward for a while.
To be honest, Su Qi'an was somewhat complicated about the Qin family. Although he borrowed the client's body, during his stay in Daliang, Su Qi'an not only accepted the client's body, but his emotions were also somewhat affected in some aspects.
Su Qi'an could understand the Qin family's ruthlessness when Su Qi'an was in decline, but this was definitely not something Su Qi'an could let go of after just a few words with Qin Huai.
For the Qin family, Su Qi'an would not resent the Qin family at most, but she would not deliberately help them. She would just wait for an opportunity to return Qin Huai's love someday.
Su Qi'an's thoughts naturally could not escape Qin Huai's eyes. Qin Huai took a sip of the tea on the table, sighed and said.
"Brother-in-law, I know you have resentment towards the Qin family. The Qin family is snobbish. I have nothing to say about this. But I help you not only because of your talent, but more importantly because of my little sister."
"Back then, I didn't play a big role in the Qin family. I didn't protect my little sister well and made her suffer a lot. I'm very ashamed of this. Now, all I can do is do my best to protect you in Lingbei County. "
"No matter whether you are in high school or not, as long as you still recognize me as your brother-in-law, the door of the Qin family will be open to you at any time."
Su Qi'an could feel that Qin Huai's words were sincere and came from the heart.
Qin Huai belongs to the Qin family. When he was in decline, there were one of the few Qin family members who did not suffer the consequences.
If it was because of this, with Su Qi'an's temper, it would be impossible for him and Qin Huai to sit together and have a good communication.
Speaking of this, Su Qi'an also expressed his heartfelt sympathy, "Brother-in-law, I understand what you want to say, and I understand it too."
"I'm not a narrow-minded person, and I don't resent the Qin family. When I have time in the future, Xiaoyin and I will visit the Qin family."
This is not only what Su Qi'an is saying, but it is also what Qin Ziyin has always wanted to do.
Even though Qin Ziyin had been away from the Qin family for so many years and usually didn't say anything to Su Qi'an, on many nights, Qin Ziyin talked about his father and mother in his dreams more than once.
No matter how far you go, among all the children in the world, how can you not miss home?
Although Su Qi'an was not angry, he would not go so far as to stop Qin Ziyin from returning home.
Being able to talk to the Qin family about what happened back then and take Qin Ziyin home can be regarded as an end to Su Qi'an's remaining obsession.
Qin Huai was very excited when Su Qi'an said this. For Su Qi'an to say such words, it could be said to be an icebreaker for the Qin family.
Based on the talent Su Qi'an showed at Wangyue Tower, Qin Huai knew that the genius prodigy who shocked Lingbei County back then was back.
Qin Huai laughed happily, looked at Su Qi'an and said, "Brother-in-law, based on your performance just now, my brother-in-law believes that you will definitely pass the high school in this county examination."
"But brother-in-law, I would like to remind you that your actions at Wangyue Tower have probably made Wei Yun and Song Wen resentful."
"Song Wen is fine. My brother-in-law will handle it for you, but Wei Yun is a bit tricky. You should know that one of the examiners of this county examination is Wei Yun's uncle, the county magistrate of Sichuandu County."
"Brother-in-law, are you worried that they will try something in the county?" Su Qian said.
Qin Huai nodded, "Brother-in-law, don't underestimate Wei Yun. The Wei family in Sichuan not only has absolute say in the local area, but also ranks among the top three aristocratic families in the entire Sichuan Province."
"If we really need to use some hands and feet, I'm afraid it won't be difficult."
Qin Huai's face was solemn, and by this time Su Qi'an also understood the seriousness of the matter.
He really underestimated the strength of the Wei family. Thinking about it, even though Great Liang still held imperial examinations every year, it seemed that the selection was fair.
In fact, everything behind the scenes has long been rotten. Su Qi'an didn't understand the high-level county examinations and palace examinations, but the low-level township examinations and county examinations only required people with deep enough connections in the county.
The possibility of secret manipulation is quite high. In some states, it has happened that the quotas for children and scholars in a county's rural examination were all controlled according to the instructions of a certain county and city family.
It is not an exaggeration to say that aristocratic families are in power, which is why, in the imperial examination every year, those poor families fawn over the powerful families, and even go to the extent of kneeling down to lick them.
Who doesn’t want to hug someone with thick legs so that they can rise to the top of the officialdom in the future? After so many years, a default unspoken rule has been formed.
In the poetry meeting at Wangyue Tower just now, he had already performed vividly and exquisitely.
Although he knew there would be such consequences, Su Qi'an did not regret it. It was not Su Qi'an's long-cherished wish to become an official in the county examination.
On the one hand, he came to this county to take the exam to see the world, and on the other hand, he just didn't want to live up to Qin Ziyin's expectations.
If he was really defeated by a secret operation, Su Qi'an wouldn't care. At worst, he would return to Dongshan Village and rely on his superb marksman skills.
There is no problem in surviving, and we can take this opportunity to plan Dongshan Village well. If something big happens in the future, we will at least have the ability to protect ourselves.
Su Qi'an's silence made Qin Huai think that Su Qi'an was worried. He patted Su Qi'an on the shoulder and said comfortingly.
"Brother-in-law, it's okay. Since I can meet you in the county examination, my brother-in-law will do his best to prevent you from being wronged. Although Wei Yun has a strong background, if he really dares to be so blatant, he will do whatever he can to prevent you from being wronged. We must let him know the price of offending the students in Lingbei County."
Qin Huai's voice was very soft, but very calm. In addition to making people feel domineering, it also made people feel at ease.
Su Qi'an did not explain, nodded and said to Qin Huai, "Here, thank you brother-in-law."
Qin Huai waved his hand as if he didn't care. Then Qin Huai stayed in Su Qian'an's room for half an hour before finding an opportunity and quietly leaving the room.
Su Qi'an and Qin Huai discussed it and decided that their relationship should remain acquainted, which would be better for both parties.
If something happens then, Wei Yun will definitely be in for a big surprise.
At this time, Su Qi'an, who was staying in the room, probably wouldn't have imagined how much of a sensation his actions in Wangyue Tower would cause in Lingbei County.
If Su Qi'an composed the six lines of the poem earlier, countless students, aristocratic families, and big figures in the government could feel his youthful arrogance and look at him with some suspicion.
The next four sentences of "Wang Yue" can be said to directly make Su Qi'an become a god in a battle. It is no exaggeration to say that the streets and lanes of the entire Lingbei County are discussing Su Qi'an's "Four Sentences of "Wang Yue", and even Su Qi'an's background and life experience have been revealed. .
The main house in the county government office.
Fang Jingzhi looked at the four sentences about "Wang Yue" written in his hand with a smile on his face. Even at his age, Fang Jingzhi's heart was still filled with excitement.
After carefully savoring the four sentences of "Wang Yue", Fang Jingzhi couldn't help but say "good" three times in a row.
"This Su Qi'an is really a strange person gifted by God to our county. Even this county can't compare to his talent in these four sentences."
"Master Liu, have the poems Su Qi'an recited in Wangyue Tower been delivered to Xie Hou?" Fang Jingzhi sighed, suddenly seemed to think of something, and asked quickly.
Master Liu, who was standing beside him, nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir. After Mr. Su composed these lines of poetry, he copied them as soon as possible and sent them to Xie Hou."
"I guess Xiehou is in the same mood as your Excellency at this time."
"Well, that's good, that's good."
"Sir, Mr. Su's display of such amazing talent at Wangyue Tower naturally offended Wei Yun. My subordinates are afraid that before long, they will..."
"Hmph, it doesn't matter. Wangyue Siju's mind, magnanimity, and style are worthy of the praise of the three princes, even if he looks at the court. Even if Wei Zhentang is protecting his shortcomings, he should understand what is more important."
"Send someone to the county seat quickly and tell the lord with these four sentences of Wang Yue that our Lingbei County has produced such a great talent. In this county examination, Lingbei County will definitely shine."
Then Fang Jingzhi's eyes turned to Captain Wang, who was half kneeling on the ground below, and he spoke.
"You did a good job with Captain Wang this time. You must protect Su Qi'an during this period of time in this county. If he loses a hair, you know what will happen."
"When necessary, spread the word and say that Su Qi'an is from this county. Anyone who dares to cause trouble should come to the Lingbei County government office to get a ticket!"
