Luzhou.

There are always many legends in places where commerce and trade are developed. There are rich people who rise overnight, and there are also centuries-old families who disappear without a trace overnight. No matter what kind of legend rises or disappears, to the vast majority of people, it is just a legend in the streets.

After a few days of talking, everyone has their own life to live. People who are running for life cannot maintain their curiosity for long, while people who are in a leisurely mood know what things should be inquired about and what should not be inquired about.

Qin's Trading Company is one of the many legends. No one knows their origins. They claim to be from the capital. No one knows where exactly. They only know that they started in the pastry business. As long as the food is delicious, no one knows.

Worrying about not being able to sell, their food was more delicious than others. Within a few days of opening, they naturally became prosperous. Soon after, they opened a branch, and then opened a restaurant. After that, they did whatever they wanted to make money. In just a few years, it became

Founded the large-scale Qin's Trading Company.

Because of their mysterious origins, at the beginning, everyone believed that they must have the support of nobles from the capital. People who don’t know the details should not be messed with. They are also outside monks who like to chant sutras. If they are locals who know the details, business will suddenly be booming.

explain

As an outsider, the first person who is so jealous that he wants to stab you is the neighbor who usually climbs trees to pick out wild eggs and goes down to the river to fish for fish. With fewer people you don’t know, the inexplicable jealousy becomes more infuriating.

The mystery that makes people scruple, and the appearance together makes it much safer.

When they grow stronger and make friends with powerful people, they will naturally have more protection, and no one will dare to offend them.

However, there are no absolutes in the world, and the methods that can survive in peaceful times are not feasible in troubled times. The Qin family business is facing a major crisis recently.

The world is in chaos, and Luzhou where they are located is now the territory of King Ping. In the past, everyone speculated that they might have a background of powerful people in the capital, so no one dared to provoke them, but now it is the most powerful person in this land who wants to make them bleed.

Prince Ping, whoever is behind them is useless.

Inside the Qin family mansion.

Qin Qing, the eldest son of Qin, looked anxiously at his mother who had been thinking with her eyes closed, but did not dare to disturb her. He finally waited until Mrs. Qin opened her eyes. He looked at his mother expectantly.

Mrs. Qin avoided her son's gaze and slowly shook her head: "No."

Qin Qing suddenly despaired and couldn't help but said: "Mom, why not? You also know Miss Liu, and you also said that she is knowledgeable and sensible. She is generous in dealing with things. Such a girl is top-notch even in the capital. It's easy for Mr. Liu to marry his daughter to me."

, why don’t you agree?”

Mrs. Qin sighed: "My son, you are not a fool, you should know. Master Liu is not interested in you, but in our Qin family. To be precise, it is the wealth behind our Qin family."

"So what? Marriage is for the sake of marrying two surnames. If it doesn't help the family at all, why should they marry a good daughter into our merchant's family?" Qin Qing looked at Mrs. Qin pleadingly, "Mom, this is the case.

Marriage matters to our Qin family

It is also beneficial. The Liu family is a century-old family, and their daughters are well-educated. They pay special attention to women's ethics. When a daughter is married, she must abide by the three obediences and four virtues. Even if our family declines in the future, Miss Liu will not burn bridges and marry someone else.

"

Mrs. Qin still shook her head.

Qin Qing turned her eyes for help to Mr. Qin, who had been silent, and said, "Dad, please say something!"

Faced with his son's prayer, Mr. Qin couldn't bear to refuse. He turned to his wife and said, "Madam, look, the Liu family didn't make any additional requests. They only asked for a thicker betrothal gift. It's not easy for this family to raise a girl. Give more."

Some betrothal gifts are also appropriate."

Mrs. Qin looked at Mr. Qin in disbelief and said: "Master, you are confused. Haven't I told you many times that the money in this business is not ours. My son admires Miss Liu, so forget it for a moment."

, what can you say? A betrothal gift is easy to say, can we get it? "

Qin Qing was a little dissatisfied and said: "Why can't you take it out? Mom, you have made your business so big in these years, many times more than you did back then. Now we should get some as reward. In a business, there are capable shopkeepers."

You still get a lot of monthly salary, why don’t you just treat it as our family’s salary over the years?”

"Shut up, who taught you to say such ungrateful words?" Mrs. Qin shouted angrily, "How can the gift of saving lives be repaid with money? Everything our Qin family has today was given by our benefactor. You are not allowed to say such ungrateful words again.

words."

Mrs. Qin, who had always been kind, was so angry that both the Qin family and his son lowered their heads.

Qin Qing was afraid, but when she thought of Miss Liu's beautiful face, she became bolder again and said: "Mom, apart from anything else, the Liu family is a prominent local family. Now that the world is in chaos, the merchants are afraid, and many of them have closed their doors and collected their money.

Hiding, if we can get married to the Liu family, it will also be a kind of protection for Qin's firm, lest anyone try to take advantage of us and no one will come forward, so the betrothal gift can be used as protection money."

Seeing her son, who had always been obedient and honest, say such sophistry, Mrs. Qin was so angry that she must have been instigated by someone, otherwise her son would not be like this. Thinking that Liu Jiaru was trying to trick her without any hesitation, she became angry.

I was filled with resentment, but then I thought about it, and realized that some of my son's concerns were not unreasonable. Nowadays, the Qin Family Trading Company is a piece of fat in the eyes of others. If you don't bite this one, there will definitely be another one.

After thinking about it, she closed her eyes and opened them after a while: "Forget it, tell the Liu family that we won't give more as a betrothal gift. We will give it an intermediate gift based on the previous sons-in-law of the Liu family. If the Liu family is still willing, then

Let's just get married. If we don't want to, forget it. The Liu family is not afraid of being accused of selling their daughter. We are also afraid of being accused of spending money to buy a daughter-in-law."

I originally thought that there was not much hope in this matter, but unexpectedly Mrs. Qin actually relaxed. Qin Qing was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly. Thinking about it, the Liu family was not shameless enough to dare to blatantly say that they were selling their daughter for how much money. They were probably thinking of long-term fishing.

Big fish, all the money of the Qin family will not belong to him in the future. As long as the marriage is finalized now and the rice is cooked, why are you afraid that it will not happen in the future?

Even Miss Liu, after becoming his wife, is not afraid that she will not be of the same mind as him.

As for my mother's concern, it is not that he is ungrateful. The so-called benefactor has not been heard from for many years. Even if he escaped, it would be difficult for a weak woman to survive in these troubled times. She is probably buried in a foreign land. Even if she can be found, she can turn over the money she earned back then.

It's enough to pay her back a few times. How can you bankrupt everything? There is no reason for my family to be busy all these years making wedding dresses for others.

After making this decision, Qin Qing hurriedly found the best matchmaker in the city, and after a few explanations, someone came to propose marriage. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, your
