But here, Mrs. Qi Qin stayed in her "home" in a daze, enjoyed a palace meal, and then left.

When she saw the carriage, she noticed something strange: "Why doesn't this belong to my house?"

"Your Majesty is merciful and allows the inner court to drive the carriage and return home with all the honorable wives!"

"The rewards have been returned to your servants."

said the eunuch.

All the women did not doubt that he was there, and they all shouted long live to His Majesty, and then stepped onto the carriage one after another.

As soon as he returned home, the clan elders, father and brothers gathered around him, feeling inexplicably happy.

The clan elder, who is nearly sixty years old, is his father-in-law’s uncle. Although he has lost a few teeth, he is full of smiles:

"My grandson's daughter-in-law was summoned by the imperial concubine. This is the result of the good deeds and good deeds of my Qi family ancestors."

"Who says not!" Qin Xuemin burst into laughter and looked at her daughter with pity: "My daughter has been observing the festival for several years and managing the Qi family's huge family business. She has worked extremely hard and is famous in the royal family."

The nine-year-old sister-in-law was holding her sister-in-law's arm and resting her head on her chest, her face full of security.

After the death of her parents, her sister-in-law becomes her mother.

At this time, my three-year-old adopted son was also brought in. He said hello with a smile, and then consciously held his hand and stood aside. He was a little uncomfortable with so many people.

Qi Qin showed a faint smile: "What the clan elder said is absolutely true. I feel that I have to choose an auspicious day to worship our ancestors and comfort our ancestors."

"But to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, you have to study. People in the tribe should study more, and the elders should supervise them. If they are greedy for some business profits, they are just big rats, and they can't do justice to their ancestors."

The clan elder was dumbfounded and his face turned slightly red, so he could only say so.

When the father and brother saw how strong their daughter (sister) was, they couldn't help but feel happy and hurriedly hugged her to the house.

Although the ancestral home was expropriated, the Qi family's house in the city is still not small, with fifty rooms, hundreds of servants, and an area of ​​more than ten acres.

In Jinan Prefecture, the Qi family are also numerous wealthy businessmen.

And what it relies on for support is wine making.

Although it’s hard to describe the taste of Jinan’s spring water wine, this gimmick is enough to sell it in Shandong.

The Qin family buys and sells cloth, and what they do is naturally the traditional Lu silk cloth. They are also at the forefront of this traditional industry.

The marriage between two families can be said to promote each other and has many benefits.

When she came to the living room and saw her daughter in full swing, Qin Xuemin felt that the legend was true and the Qin family really relied on their daughter.

He was proud of it.

"Daughter, you are as powerful as a father."

Qin Xuemin chuckled.

"It's just a few years of hard work and some evil reputation." Qi Qin sighed: "Although it is a big family, there are a lot of moths in it. I thought I would just clean up the family, but I never thought it would help.

Take over the family business."

“It shows that the government’s anti-corruption campaign makes sense.”

Seeing her daughter's beautiful face full of hard work, Qin Xuemin opened her lips for a moment, not knowing what to say.

The eldest son Qin Changfeng on the side said: "Sister, I went to Xingyuan this time. I don't know what to do?"

"I met with His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine, then had a meal in the garden, and then gave some gifts from the palace."

"Have you met the emperor?" his younger brother Qin Wanli said in surprise.

"This is strange." Qi Qin said puzzledly: "According to logic, men and women must be protected, even the royal family is no exception, but for some reason His Majesty is here."

"But I just met him once and left in a hurry."

But on that side, the emperor's eyes seemed to be focused on me...

"It's good to see you!" Qin Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, Qi Qin glanced at her brother, why was this sentence so strange?

"What are you hiding from me?"

"Nothing!"

The father and son shook their heads quickly, saying no.

Then they left together.

Back at the house, Wang He waited for a long time.

Hearing the words of the father and son, Wang He stroked his beard and said, "Now it seems that His Majesty is interested."

"This matter must be planned carefully."

"That's the truth."

Qi Changfu returned to the villa where his mistress lived and asked to meet her.

He was a cousin of the Qi family who had not yet been born, and he was an upright man. However, his cousin died that year, and the huge family property belonged to a woman with a foreign surname.

People in the clan thought it was inappropriate, and some who coveted the family property intended to use his name to divide the family.

Qi Changfu was an upright man and naturally did not want to do anything like "cat's paws", so he prepared to arrive at his house in an open and honest manner and talk about the separation of the family.

Seeing the housekeeper's grandma go and come back, she replied to Qi Changfu: "Madam said, it is not easy to receive foreign guests, but because you are also an elder of the same clan, I have to make an exception. However, there is something I must explain to the uncle first. In addition to business matters,

You can't say anything other than what's going on."

Qi Changfu thought to himself, this is strange. Where in the world is there any reason to be willing to see a guest but also restrict what the guest can say? Could it be that he knew the purpose of his visit and sealed his mouth first?

He didn't dare to ask the housekeeper's grandmother about the reason, so he only heard the housekeeper's wife ask, "Has Uncle Qi remembered everything?"

"Yes, I have written it all down."

In the main room, a screen stood upright, and there was a voice behind the screen. This was not the first time Qi Changfu had met her, and he knew her rules.

In the past, when we were in the clan, few people could see the real face. Most of them used a screen as a shield and looked at each other through the curtain.

This is also the case, and the fact that he is a chaste woman is indeed true.

"I've met my wife."

"My uncle, I have been in charge of Tianjin Mansion's business this past year, and it has been very hard.

The widows and clan members, old and young, are all very grateful to the uncle for his contribution when they see it."

"I don't dare. Qi is a lowly member of the clan and is busy working on things for his family and clan. He doesn't dare to take what his wife said about hard work."

"Please sit down and talk." Qi Qin's tepid voice came clearly: "Bier, serve tea to the uncle."

When the tea was brought, Qi Qin asked in detail about Tianjin Fufu's trading income over the years. Although Qi Changfu did not bring any documents such as account details, he did not care about so much at this time.

"There are a lot of drinks in Tianjin Prefecture. Although my Qijia Liquor does not have the upper hand, I can get to the capital through Tianjin Prefecture."

Qi Qin said crisply: "It's really difficult to get to the capital, but if we change the route from Tianjin, it's not impossible."

Qi Changfu praised him, and then said bluntly: "My wife, Rong, has always been an upright person, and she has never done anything bad. However, my Qi family has lived in Jinan for seven generations, and for a hundred and sixty years, we have lived together as a family, a mixture of fish and dragons."

.”

"Before my wife became the head of the family, the family's annual deficit was no less than three to five thousand taels. Although it has improved slightly now, the Qi family's huge family fortune cannot last long."

"How are you doing?" Qi Qin's face turned cold.

Although they had never met him, Qi Changfu felt his chill.

He bit the bullet and said seriously: "Only by dividing the family, everyone gets his own place, and everyone earns their own profits, can we survive for a long time."

"Split the family?" Qi Qin stood up, her slightly plump and graceful figure printed on the screen:

"Absolutely not. The ancestral motto of the Qi family is that there should be no separation of families."

"Madam, now the Qi family has seven direct descendants, dozens of concubine branches, and nearly a thousand people. Almost all of them are engaged in the Qi family wine business."

"Last year, the profit from the wine business was only 47,000 yuan. It was divided into various houses, but only 3,000 yuan was left in the public house."

Qi Changfu raised his head and said, "It's feasible for you to grow Fang, but I can't bear it anymore. Why do I have to work so hard to run a business to feed those silverfish?"

Mrs. Qi Qin fell silent.

The Qi family's business is mainly in the wine industry, and the main profits are divided among the seven direct descendants. The eldest family has control and directly gets 40%, while the other six families each get 10%.

Qi Changfeng has been in charge of the business these years and is a veritable second-in-command. He has even expanded his business and sold Qijia wine to Tianjin Prefecture.

But the other five families were drunk and dreaming, drinking and talking every day. It was just that they couldn't study well. Even in business, they were only greedy for profit and tried to take public money into their private treasury.

The second wife works hard to support the family business, but the money she gets is the same as the other brothers, and she is also taken advantage of by a woman. Who can bear this?

Qi Qin also agrees, but will never agree to the separation of the family.

How could she, a female prostitute, be exposed to the outside world and do business?

Hasn't her temperament become a joke?

Where can I train another right-hand man like Qi Changfu and a trustworthy second shopkeeper?

"I won't allow this!" Qi Qin said coldly: "Don't talk about the separation of the families anymore, and the clan won't go there either."
