Sunset, heartbroken people in the horizon.
The end of the world is too far away, so we only talk about the present.
After nightfall, Sun Dacai knocked on the door of his brother-in-law Qi Amo's house with a dozen thick gifts.
He didn't want to run over.
Because if you come, you need to bring some gifts, which is too expensive.
A discount on gifts?
Don't even think about it, it won't work.
As far as etiquette is concerned, affection is valued, this is not even a feather in Zhou's mind.
As long as she feels slightly dissatisfied, she will taunt her from the first day of the junior high school to the fifteenth day of the junior high school, making you feel so disgusted that your teeth will go numb.
Therefore, if you can't help but come, don't come. It's best to pass the passage of time with a calm and contemplative attitude like the tortoise.
Save if you can!
However, this time it was an exception. It seemed a bit impossible not to come to the door.
Qi Lan kept nagging there, saying that since my family's Ah Man became an official, he has been constantly helping relatives from all walks of life, and our Sun family has also benefited from this.
If it weren't for his younger brother, where did the Sun family get all these valuables? If it weren't for my younger brother, we might still be selling dry goods in our hometown in Yongchuan!
Look now, my brother is still worrying about Xiao Qiaoyun's marriage. You think, how much trouble does this take?
Since I have received the favor from my brother, I have to express my sincerity.
Sun Dacai felt that they were all related to each other, so expressing too much would make them appear outsided.
Qi Lan retorted, as our ancestors often said, it is not strange to be polite to many people, but only if you don't move around can you really see others.
Even relatives cannot lose the due courtesy. If they really wait until they meet outsiders, they will regret it.
Also, because of the incident of lending money to the Zhou family, the two families were more or less unhappy. Why not take advantage of the opportunity to improve it?
Sun Dacai made some considerations and adopted his mother-in-law's suggestion.
So he brought a few kilograms of Korean wild ginseng and Javanese bird's nest to visit.
After entering the door, he saw his brother-in-law Qi Yu drinking wine alone.
Oh, it's better to come early than to come by chance.
Let's have a meal!
Sun Dacai unceremoniously brought him a stool and sat down on it.
Qi Yu glanced at the gift in the corner and immediately smiled approvingly at his brother-in-law.
This old boy finally knows how to be filial.
"Oh yes, mother
Where are they? Why don't you come for dinner? "
"They have already eaten and are now busy packing Xiaotong's luggage!"
Seeing that his brother-in-law didn't want to talk more about it, Sun Dacai stopped in time and didn't ask any more questions, and also changed the topic to something else.
For example, about Xiao Qiaoyun's marriage.
"Aha, what is this Qi Qingyun like? You shouldn't be mistaken, right?"
"Oh? Brother-in-law, can't you trust me?"
"No... I just think that if we have such a precious daughter in our family, if we marry the wrong person, wouldn't it be a waste of life?"
"Don't worry, we can't make any mistakes!"
After chatting for a few words, Sun Dacai started complaining impromptu.
The family is short-sighted, mother-in-law and mother-in-law.
What Qi Yu didn't expect was that a boss like his brother-in-law would be just as reluctant to let his daughter get married as he was.
He also felt that someone had reached out to steal his precious things.
On this issue, Qi Dalang seems to have double standards.
For the niece of the Sun family, he considered it from the rational aspect, but for his own daughter, he considered it from the emotional aspect. These two are completely different latitudes.
Only a father can understand this complex emotion.
Speaking of Xiaotong's betrothal, Sun Dacai seemed to have thought of something.
He suddenly said: "Aha, I overheard a related rumor about my eldest niece's marriage from a businessman from the north."
Qi Yu was shocked when he heard this, and quickly put down his wine glass and asked, "Tell me, what kind of rumors are they?"
Sun Dacai replied: "There are rumors that the man who granted the marriage, Liang Yingzhong, the chief minister of the cabinet, actually made a unilateral request to His Majesty to cancel the engagement. The royal family leader Li Zuoyi also expressed support for this."
What?
break off an engagement?
When Qi Yu heard this, he was unhappy and said angrily: "Liang Yingzhong, how dare he think that my daughter is not worthy of his Liang family? Humph, when I take up my post in Beijing, let's see how I deal with her!"
Sun Dacai couldn't say anything about this, so he had no choice but to say yes.
After calming down, Qi Yu asked again: "Brother-in-law, do you know why the Liang family regrets their marriage?"
"How can I know such a secret?" Sun Dacai shook his head repeatedly and replied.
"Then...what does the emperor say?"
"The rumor said that His Majesty ignored it and seemed to be considering it."
Like This!
Qi Yu scratched his head and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
This matter has a strange smell everywhere, and it is difficult to think logically for a while.
Forget it, don’t think about it!
It would not be too late to clarify in the future when the information is relatively sufficient. Anyway, his daughter is about to go south. Even if the emperor tries to hinder it, it is impossible to achieve her goal.
Haha, it feels good to have a back-up!
Sun Dacai thought for a while and then said: "There is one more thing I want to talk to you about."
Qi Yu toasted with wine and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, please speak!"
"Don't all the Western countries have established embassies in our Qiongzhou? These ambassadors recently jointly submitted a letter to my chamber of commerce, asking our Qiongzhou to increase the export of cigarette products..."
"Oh? How much bigger do they want it to be?"
"According to them, it takes at least ten times!"
"Ten times? That's not to say it's impossible!"
Qi Yu gave a concise reply almost without thinking.
However, he then put forward an additional condition.
"I request that when they buy cigarettes, they must also increase their efforts to introduce us to Qiongzhou, otherwise, there is no need to discuss this matter!"
"Huh? This..."
Sun Dacai was puzzled by this strange condition.
He really couldn't figure out what the connection was between cigarettes and smoking.
However, since my brother-in-law said so, he had to do it.
Besides, he was happy with it.
If the export of cigarettes doubles, then his income can surpass the Haijia family and take the top spot as the richest man in Qiongzhou. And he, the vice-president, naturally followed suit.
In the business district, whoever has more money is the boss.
In other words, it's all about money.
Qi Yu had no intention of paying attention to his brother-in-law's daydreams. What he cared about was the opportunity for cultural dissemination.
If this can be accomplished, its impact will be immeasurable.
Don't underestimate it.
As for how to operate specifically, Sun Dacai naturally has business operating rules and does not bother Qi Dalang.
After finishing chatting about the business, the two began to drink and drink together.
It seems that at this moment, they are relatives in the true sense.
There were neither officials nor businessmen, and the only things they talked about were trivial things about their hometown.
