Chapter 1001 Thirty Years of Beacon Fire
Qin Minyan was born well. Although her family was not as good as Qi Yuanhao, the Qin family was also a big family in Jiangnan. She grew up with a precious place and did not value money much.
However, although he was educated by the Three Obediences and Four Virtues since childhood, he had other women to his husband. Although Qin Minyan did not show any expression on her face, she still felt quite complaining about her heart.
When the couple first got married, Qin Minyan was the only mistress in the Qi family, so she treated Qi Yuanhao like her husband at that time. But later, as the second and third concubines entered the mansion, Qin Minyan's heart gradually became cold.
If outsiders knew Qin Minyan’s thoughts, they would probably think she was pretentious. After all, others seemed to have only two concubines in Qi Yuanhao’s back house. Compared with those who often have seven or eight concubines in other families, Qi Yuanhao’s back house is already clean, and his rules are great. No matter how favored the two concubines are, they always have to lower themselves in front of her, the eldest lady. No matter what they are behind their backs, at least they still respect her very much on the surface.
But Qin Minyan didn't think so. Her thoughts might be a bit distorted, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with her. Obviously, when the two got married, Qi Yuanhao promised her a lifetime and a pair of people, saying that there would be no other women in the yard except her. As a result, within two years, he forgot his original vows.
It was clearly the Republic of China, and it was said that women could liberate women and improve their status. In the end, women could only be vassals of men. They could not even say no to take a concubine, and they had to happily take care of the men's concubine and the children born by the concubine... Just thinking about it, Qin Minyan felt suffocated.
Since then, Qin Minyan has stopped her feelings and tried to be a qualified wife of the Qi family. However, her behavior has made Qi Yuanhao very satisfied, thinking that she is a perfect virtuous supporter.
"Minmin, do you think I can't come to your room to find you except these things?"
Qi Yuanhao didn't hear the sarcasm in Qin Minyan's words, and said helplessly. Then he got up and came to the bed, sat down slowly, and then reached out to pull Qin Minyan's hand over.
He is obviously in his early forties, but Qin Minyan's hands are still as delicate and smooth as a little girl. Qi Yuanhao is a little afraid of exerting force when he touches them, for fear that the calloused in the palm of his hand will tear the other person's tender skin.
Qin Minyan smiled and said half-truely: "That's not. Today is not the fifteenth day of the lunar month. The master is either in the third concubine's room or in the second concubine's room. It is because the two of them are not making enough money that the master thinks to come and find me."
When Qi Yuanhao heard this, he felt guilty. He couldn't help but cough and then changed the topic: "Minmin, I'm here to find you today not for these things, but for you to have a serious matter. Listen to me."
After considering the language, he said his purpose: "That's the matter. Minmin, don't worry, I don't want these factories, I just want to check the accounts. I heard that the accounts of these factories are not very right. I know you are not good at these, so I want to help you."
When Qin Minyan heard Qi Yuanhao say that he wanted to take back the factory in his hand, Qin Minyan almost exploded. She thought Qi Yuanhao wanted to give the property to Qi Yan. Just as she was about to have an attack, she heard Qi Yuanhao say that it was Qi Wang who said that there was something wrong with these accounts, so she asked him to help check it.
Qin Minyan suppressed the anger that had just come out, and a decent smile appeared on her face: "Then the relationship is good, master, you know it. I am most impatient to read these account books. Usually, the shopkeepers under my command report how much. It would be great if you can come to help me. Don't leave it to me after reading it. Let Ah Wang take care of it. Wouldn't he have to stay at home for a while?"
However, Qi Yuanhao shook his head and said, "Don't bother him by these things. He is a person who wants to do big things. Don't bother him with these trivial matters."
The long gun designed by Qi Wang is very excellent. He is obviously very talented in weapon design. Since that is the case, he should devote all his energy to it. It is better not to bother him with those little things.
Seeing Qi Yuanhao objecting, Qin Minyan did not continue to talk and make him sick. She thought about it and continued, "By the way, master, Awang is still twenty-five years old this year, and he is at his age when he is time to get married. I am thinking about holding a banquet and bringing all the famous ladies in Jinling City over. Let's choose from them. What do you think?"
Qi Yuanhao nodded and said, "It's good that you decide, but you still have to discuss this matter with Zhengyan to see how he thinks."
Qi Yuanhao is still very open-minded at this point. Anyway, he has three sons, one of whom does not get married and the other is tied to him. He has no shortage of grandchildren, so he still has to like this wife himself, otherwise he will not feel comfortable getting along in the future.
Qin Minyan also knew Qi Yuanhao's temperament, so she just notified Qi Yuanhao to let him know about this.
It was late at night, and since Qi Yuanhao had come, he had no intention of leaving. Qin Minyan did not dislike Qi Yuanhao at this time. After the other party washed up, the two of them quickly went to bed.

The name Li Xiaoge sounds quite elegant, but it is a famous opium opium restaurant nearby. Like other opium restaurants, they are hidden in the alley deep in the alley. If no one leads the way, there is no way to find the right path from the road as fine as a spider web.
It was just dawn at this time, and the dark brown door of Li Xiaoge opened from the inside, and a man with a stubborn shape was thrown out from the inside by two men wearing short-striped clothes.
"Bah, I don't have money and I want to come here to enjoy it. I don't know where this place is. Is it a place where you can be presumptuous?"
The middle-aged man who was thrown on the ground didn't care about the pain on his body and rolled up to hug the thug's thigh. However, looking at his tears, the thug was so disgusting that he raised his feet and kicked the man rolled down the steps again.
"Don't talk to me here. Come home and get money. If you have money, you can be an old man. If you don't have money, you can get as far as you can. If you don't have money, you can get as far as you can, so as not to be here."
Then the two thugs spat hard at the middle-aged man on the ground, and turned around and left regardless of his plea.
The middle-aged man was kicked in the chest, which made him thrust all over his body. But when he saw the two thugs closing the door and going back, he immediately let out another wail, rolling and crawling to pounce on him.
"Please let me in. I have money, I will have money right away..."
However, the most desirable thing in the opium opium restaurant is people like him. Those who can enter the opium restaurant with money will naturally be regarded as guests of honor, holding pipes to suck up clouds and fog, and living a life like a god.
But all this is based on the fact that the guest has money. Once the guest has no money, he will be immediately swept out by the thug here like he treats garbage.
The most desirable thing in opium restaurants is customers. In this year, there are a lot of people coming to this opium restaurant with money for entertainment. There are many poor people, but there are also many rich people. If you don’t have money, you can sell houses, land, daughters and daughters-in-law, and squeeze all the money you can squeeze out, and then you will be thrown out like a rag strip.
Many people know the harm of this big smoke, but they flock to it like crazy, just to enjoy the wonderful moments that seem to be in a fairyland.
These people are flocking to the big smoke. They lie in the tobacco restaurant and suck in mist, and they are drunk and dreaming. Just care about their own happiness. Where can they care about other things?
When these people step into the opium opium house with one foot, they have lost their human nature. As they sink deeper and deeper, the erosion of the opium becomes more and more severe, they will completely become slaves of the opium and completely lose themselves.
It is worth mentioning that not all these opium opium restaurants are managed by foreigners. Many of them are industries of those aristocratic families. Do they not know the harm of these opium?
This is not the case. Anyone who has been studying for two years and has recognized some words will know the destruction of cigarettes in Humen back then, knowing the harm caused by big smoke, and knowing how much wealth and harmed the foreigners who plundered wolf, tigers and leopards relied on big smoke in China.
They all know, but they don’t care about this, just because the benefits brought by the big smoke are huge enough.
Big smoke is very addictive, almost an addiction. It requires great perseverance and perseverance to quit. There are very few people who can quit by themselves. Even if they quit, the possibility of recurrence is very high.
Moreover, big smoke will destroy the human spirit and body. At the beginning, it will indeed make people feel unprecedented excitement and happiness. However, these are all under the premise that the body is destroyed. All the excitement and happiness you feel now are overdrawn and exchanged for the human body's potential in the next few years or even decades.
Simply put, as long as you get stained with big smoke, this person will basically be destroyed, but the person who smokes big smoke is not destroyed by the person who smokes big smoke. They often destroy countless people behind him. Those people are his relatives and children. When the person who smokes big smoke is desperate and cannot get money to exchange for big smoke, they will destroy their human nature and extend the claws of sin to their closest person.
The middle-aged man finally climbed to the front of the Li Xiaoge gate, but the gate had already been closed. No matter how he slapped and worried, the gate would not be open to him. Unless the day when he got rich again, the people inside would invite him in as if they were to the old man.
"No, I can't do without money. I want money. I still have money, I still have money..."
He was pulled out half of it and was dragged out by someone. After the addiction came, he couldn't control himself and his body curled up into a shrimp-shaped shape. In order to relieve his inner addiction, he unconsciously chewed his fingers until he dripped the blood of his ten fingers.
At this time, he was covered in blood and looked crazy. Apart from the appearance of a human, there was no human appearance? It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a dying beast.
After the strength weakened, he stood up swayingly and walked towards the direction where his home was.
He wants to go back to raise money, he wants to suck the thing that makes him extremely happy again, big smoke is his life, he will die without this...
"As long as I can give me a sip, I'm willing to do whatever I want..."
He smiled nervously and staggered and disappeared into the corner of the alley.
Behind the high walls on both sides of the alley are one after another, lying unrestrainedly on the chaise soaked in smoke, enjoying this dreamlike life like a god.
Everything outside has nothing to do with them. Here they feel that they are like the emperor. No, no, the emperor lives as happy as theirs.
If possible, they are willing to indulge in such a life for the rest of their lives.

Since she separated from Zhang Xinrui in the cafe last time, it started to rain in Jinling. Qi Yutong didn't like rainy days, so she stayed at home and didn't go out. Finally, the weather cleared up, so she immediately made an appointment with Zhang Xinrui to go shopping.
Before leaving, Qi Yutong met Qi Yuyi. The two of them had never dealt with each other and had to fight each other every time they met.
"Sixth sister, why are you going out for such a beautiful dress? Could it be that you have a sweetheart? Oh, I was wrong. Our sixth sister is very jealous and can't catch your eyes when I'm not in your eyes. So many men like our sixth sister, so you must pick it carefully?"
Qi Yuyi still resented that Zhang Dekang approached her last time to get Qi Yutong's information, so even after so long, she couldn't help but say a few words after seeing Qi Yutong.
Qi Yutong blinked her eyes, as if she didn't hear the sarcasm in Qi Yuyi's words. She obediently called Wu Jie, and then followed Qi Yuyi's words: "Fifth sister is right. I didn't notice these things in the past. I will pay attention to them in the future. Thank you for your reminder."
Qi Yuyi widened her eyes and looked at Qi Yutong as if she didn't know her - is this the Qi Yutong who wants to fight her a few times when she's fine? Could it be that he was so stupid that he hit the head and hit the person?
Of course Qi Yutong knew what Qi Yuyi was thinking now, but she didn't care. In the past, she thought she was a genuine lady from the Qi family and was spoiled by her mother and brother. She was a legitimate daughter born by a serious lady, and naturally she felt that she was superior to those concubines.
So as long as the other party finds fault, she will immediately fight back, just like a little lion with fangs and claws. But now that she knows her true identity, she will immediately feel guilty and short-sigh. After all, she is not the real lady of the Qi family. Even if she is a concubine and the concubine is born, she is also the serious daughter of a marshal. What is she worth?
While Qi Yuyi was so shocked by her that she couldn't speak, Qi Yutong nodded to the other party and said, "Fifth Sister, I remember everything you said, but I still have something to do. I won't talk to you for now. Let's talk to you when I have time."
After saying this, Qi Yutong passed over her and left without waiting for Qi Yuyi to answer.
Qi Yuyi stared at Qi Yutong's back as she left, and it took a long time to recover.
There must be a conspiracy among them. This dead girl was arrogant and domineering in the past. She relied on her own that she was born from the big lady's belly and didn't take her seriously at all. She suddenly changed her sexual desire today. There must be a conspiracy!
Qi Yuyi was indignant, thought about it again and again, but finally decided to follow and see what was going on.
She didn't believe it anymore. No matter how a person's personality changes, it wouldn't be like a different person. If something goes wrong, there will be a demon. She has to be a little bit guarded.

"Xinrui, I'm here!"
Qi Yutong arrived earlier than Zhang Xinrui. The two of them met at a ready-to-wear shop. The clothes sold here were all foreign dresses, which were exquisite and beautiful. Qi Yutong is a regular customer here, but Zhang Xinrui has never consumed them here. The reason is that the clothes here are too expensive, and Zhang Xinrui cannot afford them under the conditions of Zhang Xinrui.
"Tongtong, why did you set the date here this time? Didn't you agree to go to the movie today?"
Zhang Xinrui changed into a light blue plain cheongsam today. Her hair was slightly permed, and the ends of her hair had a curly curve. It looked a bit more playful and lively than before.
When Qi Yutong saw the other party, a big smile immediately appeared on her face. She quickly walked to Zhang Xinrui and pulled her to the shelf where the clothes were placed.
"Xinrui, I remember that it will be your birthday soon, and I have nothing to give to you. It just so happened that this store has a new batch of dresses. I see these pieces are very suitable for you. Why don't you wear them and see. If you like them, I'll give them to you."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xinrui immediately shook her head and refused repeatedly: "No, no, these clothes are too expensive. You have already given me a lot of things. I can't accept your things anymore."
Their family backgrounds are not equal. Qi Yutong has always been generous. The gifts given to her are very valuable. Although Zhang Xinrui often returns gifts, it has to be admitted that the value of her gifts she returns is far less than that given to Qi Yutong.
The interactions between friends also require balance. If the balance is lost, the friendship will naturally change.
"Xinrui, don't refuse me. This time I'm giving you a birthday gift, different. Also, I'll treat it as the apology I gave you last time."
Hearing Qi Yutong mentioning the last incident, Zhang Xinrui's expression was a little uncomfortable. She was silent for a while, then raised her smile and said gently: "It's okay, I know you are kind-hearted, I don't care."
It is reasonable for Qi Wang to look down on herself. Although Zhang Xinrui had some unrealistic dreams before, she also knew that the two of them were people on the two roads in the end, and it was normal that they could not get together.
Qi Yutong is kind-hearted, and she also actively matched the two of them. Although the method may be a bit wrong, Zhang Xinrui will not blame her for this.
But in the end, she still couldn't twist Qi Yutong, so she had no choice but to choose the lowest-priced dress.
"I'll just want this."
When the two of them came out of the garment store, two figures came out of the garment store opposite. When one of them saw Qi Yutong, his eyes instantly lit up. The fastest update of Lily Free is no anti-theft or anti-theft.
