At night, everyone in the Qin family had dinner in the lobby.
Qin Feng walked into the hall and sat down on the dining table naturally. The other people were stunned when they saw this.
"What's wrong?" Qin Feng looked at the surprised expressions of several people and asked curiously.
Er Niang's eyes were red and she said, "Since you were ten years old, our family of four has never sat down to have a meal together."
Qin Feng twitched the corner of his mouth and was in a hurry to eat. He had forgotten that the original owner always felt that he was not welcome at home, so he did not want to sit with everyone at the table. The meals were all brought to the room by the maid Qing'er.
But after a day of observation, Qin Feng discovered that everyone in the Qin family did not have any contempt or prejudice towards this good-for-nothing young master. Instead, they cared for him. From this point of view, the impression in the memory was just the inferiority complex of the original owner.
Just causing trouble.
"I was too naive before. This time I escaped from death and I saw a lot more clearly. I won't be like that again in the future."
When several people heard this, their eyes lit up.
Qin Jian'an sighed: "This accident is not all in vain. At least my son has finally grown up."
Er Niang thought it was really made of water, tears welled up in her eyes again: "This is good, this is good."
Qin An was about to speak but stopped, then lowered his head to eat the rice, but the hidden corner of his mouth was clearly raised slightly.
"Today is a great day, Qing'er, please order the kitchen to add another meat dish!"
"Okay, sir."
Qing'er exited the hall, and Qin Feng glanced at the dining table. It was clear soup with only one or two meat dishes. It seemed that even if the Qin family moved to this remote place, it did not solve the family's current situation of poverty.
From the original memory, Qin Feng finally knew the reason.
The second brother, Qin An, is gifted with extraordinary talents and practices the Shenwu Taoism. As we all know, the early stages of this Taoism consume the most money. Not only do you need to buy various medicinal baths and blood pills, but you also have to constantly eat animal meat. This is a huge deal for the Qin family.
Not a small expense.
In order to step into the literary sage tradition, she also needed to read various classics and ancient books. The second lady was afraid of favoring one over the other, so she also asked people to find all kinds of books, and even spent a lot of money to buy many unique copies. However, the original owner did not live up to his expectations, but he was well-read
He has not even stepped into the ninth level of root building.
But the above two points are not the main reason why the Qin family is living in such a tight situation.
The real culprit is the handsome middle-aged man sitting in the center.
Obviously he has no talent for business, but he doesn't believe in evil. He sold his ancestral home in the imperial capital and moved his family to Jinyang City. He spent half of his savings to buy Wangyueju, the largest restaurant in the city, and then fell into business due to business problems.
If you are not good, you will suffer losses every month and every year.
It would be fine if he had to step back from the brink, but this person obviously has no self-awareness. Every once in a while, he hires a Taoist from the Demon Slayer Division to escort him to other towns to resell goods. The result is that he often buys at high prices and sells at low prices.
Every time I said I would lose nearly a hundred taels of silver.
No matter how much wealth you have, you can't afford such squandering.
When the whole family eats at the same table, they enjoy themselves happily and the conversation naturally opens up.
Er Niang swallowed a mouthful of rice and suddenly asked: "Master, a few days ago you went to Qiyang Town, a few hundred miles away, to resell grain. Did you gain anything?"
As soon as these words came out, Qin Feng and Qin An also looked up. Qin Jianan's face froze, and he suddenly smiled and said: "Madam, if I didn't say it, I almost forgot. Qiyang Town is really a nice place. The scenery there is beautiful.
Surrounded by mountains and rivers, fishermen fish at sunrise and rest at sunset. This life really makes me envious.
Speaking of which, the boiled fish soup there is delicious. If I have the chance, I will definitely take you to taste it."
This topic is too rigid.
Qin Feng twitched the corner of his mouth and knew without guessing that this transaction must have lost money again.
The second mother, Meng Xue, frowned: "Master, I didn't ask you this. What I meant was, did you earn any money from this trip?"
Qin Jianfang ignored him, picked up his chopsticks and kept saying, "Eat, eat. If you don't eat this food, it will be cold."
"master!"
Er Niang shouted loudly, obviously angry.
Qin Jianan covered his mouth and coughed. Just when everyone thought he was going to share how much money he lost on this trip, he pretended to be mysterious and said: "Madam, do you still remember the girl from the Liu family in Fengtian City?"
Er Niang was stunned: "Such an excellent daughter will certainly remember her, but why did you mention her?"
He actually managed to change the subject. Er Niang, you continue to ask. Qin Feng felt a little regretful that he missed watching a big drama.
"She returned to Fengtian City from Wanjian Sect." Qin Jianan put down the bowl and chopsticks.
Er Niang was stunned for a moment, then said with a complicated expression: "This doesn't have much to do with us."
The Liu family in Fengtian City is in charge of Mr. Liu, the Duke of Daqianfu. His title is still above the first-class general who governs the country. His ancestors have made great military exploits for Daqian. Even today, the Liu family is still in the imperial capital of Daqian.
of powerful combat power.
Not only that, the Liu family also gave birth to a good daughter - Liu Jianli!
Not to mention the beauty and fragrance of the country, the talent in cultivation is even more astonishing. At the age of fifteen, he entered the seventh level breath gathering realm. He was noticed by the master of Wanjian Sect and was brought into the sect for training.
At the age of sixteen, he advanced to the sixth level of concentration, and one year later he entered the fifth level of divine walking. Throughout the ages, no one has such a terrifying cultivation speed.
And she is also a sword cultivator!
You must know that Shenwu Taoism mainly focuses on body refining, supplemented by weapons. Among them, there are many kinds of side sects, but among the many weapons, the two most commonly used ones are undoubtedly knives and swords!
The sword opens and closes widely, it is extremely domineering, the sword is as fast as lightning, and the throat is sealed with one sword!
Even the master of Wanjian Sect was full of praise for Liu Jianli's attainments in swordsmanship. The latter even threatened that this girl would definitely enter the realm of the Sword God in the future!
Such a beautiful girl from heaven is naturally the one who is admired and admired by many royal nobles in Fengtian City.
Emperor Mingde even drunkenly said that if anyone could marry a daughter of the Liu family, the family would be prosperous for a hundred years.
After that, there was an endless stream of royal relatives and relatives proposing marriage to the Liu family.
Logically speaking, this kind of family and this kind of beautiful girl from heaven should have nothing to do with the down-and-out Qin family, but God seems to like to make such a joke.
The ancestors of the Liu family and the Qin family had a good relationship. The ancestors of the two families asked the Tianjian Imperial Master in Fengtian City to perform a divination. The results revealed that if the offspring of the two families happened to be one boy and one girl, they would be a match made in heaven and they should get married in Fengtian.
Naturally, the two ancestors believed what the Imperial Master Tianjian said and kept these words in mind.
But who would have thought that the Liu and Qin families had lived for six generations and all their children were boys. It was not until Qin Feng's generation that the Liu family gave birth to a girl like Liu Jianli.
But times have changed, and these two families have long been in the wrong family. Wouldn't it be a big joke in the world to let a beautiful girl from heaven marry a loser?
Naturally, the ancestral precepts of marriage passed down from generation to generation between the two families fell into disrepair.
Qin Feng searched his memory, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but sigh. If the Qin family was still in Fengtian City, maybe the eldest lady of the Liu family would send someone to break off the engagement.
At that time, he could leave behind his heroic words, "Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river, don't bully young people into poverty." From then on, he soared into the sky.
However, there is an unreliable father trap!
Thinking of this, Qin Feng glanced at the handsome middle-aged man resentfully and picked up the bowl and chopsticks.
"Actually, Mr. Liu visited the Qin family at night and told me that he wanted to complete the ancestral marriage contract and let Jianli and Feng'er get married." Qin Jianan's words shocked everyone.
Qin Feng just took a mouthful of rice, then spit it out and kept coughing.
Erniang's eyes widened, and Qin An looked up with a look of disbelief.
"However, I rejected it."
"."
Qin Jian'an explained: "Although the Qin family has been in decline, at least the incense has been passed down from generation to generation. The reason is that they have self-awareness.
Do you really think I left the Imperial Capital because I thought it was too expensive?"
The three of them nodded.
Qin Jianan's face twitched and he coughed dryly: "Of course, this is also one of the reasons, but the main reason is because of this marriage.
At the beginning, there were many people in Fengtian City who proposed marriage to the Liu family, but Mr. Liu refused them one by one because of the ancestral teachings. Mr. Liu is upright and honorable and keeps his promises. However, this is not a good thing for our Qin family. "
"That's it." Qin Feng wiped the rice from the corner of his mouth, thoughtfully.
"Brother, do you understand?" Qin An looked up from the side.
Your ability to understand is in vain for your scholarly appearance.
Qin Feng explained: "Everyone is not guilty of carrying a jade. The Qin family is not worthy of marrying the Liu family. However, the Liu and Qin families are bound by ancestral precepts. Those who seek marriage cannot blame the Liu family. Naturally, they can only blame the Liu family."
The Qin family regards him as a thorn in his side."
"Yes, at the beginning, the Qin family's property in the imperial capital was suppressed everywhere, and even Feng'er often encountered accidents and almost died. At that time, I knew that Fengtian City was not a safe place for my Qin family.
Therefore, I sold my ancestral home and moved my family here."
There are times when an unreliable father can be reliable. I blamed you wrongly. Qin Feng cast a look of approval, like a kind father who sees his child finally becoming a talented person.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was a bit strange, Qin Jianan picked up the bowls and chopsticks again: "Let's eat, let's eat. It's okay not to mention these things."
The second mother and the second brother also moved their chopsticks again, but their expressions became much more solemn.
Everyone has a sad face, how can I eat this meal? It seems that I still have to take action.
Qin Feng thought like this and immediately asked: "By the way, Dad, how much did you earn during this trip?"
puff!
After coughing out a mouthful of rice, the atmosphere at the dinner table became cheerful again.
