The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 218
When Qin Yajun returned from the Zhuangyuan Building, she still couldn't hide the excitement in her heart. Lin Zisu's idea made her find a way out again.

She even had some calculations in her mind that Nalan Rongruo's words would definitely not work for such a big scene in Zhongqiu's poetry meeting, and she had to choose a famous poem through the ages.

Do you use "Will Enter the Wine"?Or is it more appropriate to use "Shui Tiao Ge Tou"?
The maid who accompanied her was called Shuying, who was Qin Yajun's personal servant girl in Shannan. This time, she followed the Qin family to the capital, stayed with Qin Yajun for a long time, and usually spoke more casually.

Seeing her young lady's happy face, she smiled and said, "It's rare to see young lady so happy, but what good news did you hear?"

Qin Yajun was in a very good mood, when Shuying asked, he also said with a smile: "Shuying, Master called you over yesterday, did you talk about choosing a concubine?"

Shuying nodded, and said with a serious face: "Master said, the selection of concubine this time is related to the future of our family, let this servant persuade you well."

"Okay, then just go ahead and persuade me. If I become a country in the future, I will definitely bring you with me."

The two talked and laughed in the carriage, and returned to the Qin Mansion not long after.

The Qin family has the status of a businessman, and is extremely low-key in the capital. The house they live in is not big enough to accommodate a family.

As soon as Qin Yajun returned, he was called over by his father Qin Yuanliang.

When Qin Yuanliang saw Qin Yajun, he immediately smiled all over his face and said, "My dear girl, where did you go shopping today?"

"Go to the Zhuangyuan Building to meet a friend."

Qin Yajun said, found a chair and sat down, and then a maid brought tea.

Qin Yajun took a sip and said casually, "Father is in such a hurry to find his daughter, what's the matter?"

Qin Yuanliang gave a light "cough" and said, "Lord Qian sent someone over today to deliver a message that you must participate in this year's concubine selection."

"Father agreed?"

"Without the consent of a good daughter like you, how can a father dare to agree?"

What Qin Yuanliang said was quite helpless. Since his daughter had a serious illness last year, she suddenly changed her temperament.

Qin Yajun, who was originally well-behaved and docile, suddenly became willful.After the Chinese New Year, not only did he get in touch with a county magistrate named Lin Wuzai in Xicheng, but he also insisted on traveling with him to the capital.

Qin Yuanliang didn't take it seriously at first, because his family also has property in the capital, so he would not let his daughter be wronged.

In the past few months, he had received a summons from the Qian family that the Luo family, which he had always had a grudge with, was about to collapse. He had been following the movements of the Luo family and put his daughter aside.

It wasn't until he got the letter from Beijing that he heard that Qin Yajun was in public all day long in the capital, hanging out with a group of literati.

Even if the Qin family is a merchant, after more than 100 years of operation, it is no longer the Qin family that was trampled underfoot.

Once you have money, your status will naturally rise accordingly.

The items used in the homes of those high-ranking officials and dignitaries are not much different from those of the Qin family.

And with the care of the rich family, the children of the Qin family don't need to come forward to make friends with any scholars.

Qin Yuanliang's long-cherished wish is to marry the Qian family so that they can be better bound together.

However, the Qian family didn't have much interest in getting married, and they always had a lukewarm attitude towards Qin Yuanliang.

By the end of April, the attitude of the Qian family had obviously changed greatly. Not only did they invite the descendants of the Qin family to visit the Qian family, but Qian Minzhong personally wrote a letter to Qin Yuanliang, asking him to come to Beijing for a talk.

When he arrived in Beijing and met Qian Minzhong, Qin Yuanliang knew that the prince was about to choose a concubine.Qian Minzhong made a big circle, and the meaning in his words was quite clear. He hoped that the Qin family would have a girl of the right age to sign up for the election.

Now there are only two girls of the right age in the Qin family, and one of them is Qin Yajun.

When Qin Yuanliang and his daughter mentioned this matter, Qin Yajun immediately refused, claiming that unless she was chosen as the main concubine, he would never participate in any concubine selection ceremony.

Now Qin Yuanliang had a headache. In his opinion, Qin Yajun met the requirements for choosing a concubine regardless of his appearance and talent, but his daughter disagreed, so he couldn't force it.

The most important thing is that since the beginning of this year, Qin Yajun gave him several suggestions, all of which made him a lot of money.

Qin Yajun first gave him a suggestion, adding a small part to the loom in Qin's workshop. After half a month, the weaving efficiency in Qin's workshop increased by [-]%.

Then Qin Yajun suggested to Qin Yuanliang to sponsor a firm to go overseas for trade, and a month later, he got a lot of benefits.

Qin Yuanliang has tasted the sweetness, and whenever there is a big business matter, he will ask this daughter's opinion, and he has also made a lot of profit from it.

Later, Qin Yajun suggested that the Qin family stop the cloth shipment to the northern border. At that time, Qin Yuanliang didn't know what was going on, but he just withdrew the northern border business.

Less than a month later, war broke out in the northern border.

Beidi broke through Jinlan Pass without any warning, and took Luyuan away. Those firms doing business in the northern border suffered heavy losses.

For such a daughter, Qin Yuanliang is usually eager to provide for him, so he is naturally unwilling to go against her wishes, let alone let her marry the prince.

Qin Yuanliang even thought about finding a son-in-law for Qin Yajun and leaving this daughter in the Qin family. In that case, the Qin family's business would definitely be improved.

But Qian Minzhong's intention is not easy to disobey, Qin Yuanliang still wants to discuss it with his daughter.After hearing Qin Yajun's bad words, he immediately changed his words.

"My dear daughter, you also know that Mr. Qian has always taken good care of our family. This time he brought it up, it's not easy for a father to refuse."

Qin Yajun didn't seem to see the expression on his father's face, and said lightly: "As our merchant, let me participate in the general election of the Ministry of Rites. At most, I will be a side concubine. Father, you have the heart to let your daughter be a concubine, and you will be punished for the rest of your life." People are on your head?"

Qin Yuanliang sighed, and said: "It's better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. As a father, why don't you know this truth, but on the side of Mr. Qian, as a father, there must be an explanation."

"Father, you don't have to worry. After all, Lord Qian will let you have an explanation."

As Qin Yajun spoke, he stood up and said firmly, "Side concubine or something, daughters are not rare, if a daughter wants to be a concubine, she must be a concubine!"

Although it was not the first time hearing his daughter say this, Qin Yuanliang opened his mouth wide in shock, and let Qin Yajun walk away.

Qin Yajun walked to the door, suddenly remembered something, turned around and said: "By the way, father, our family's business in Guanzhong has already been withdrawn. I'm afraid we won't be able to do business there."

"You... what do you know?"

Qin Yuanliang knew that in the past few months, his daughter had met many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Beijing, and she might have heard some gossip, and asked, "The people over there have come back, are they... Is there something important?"

Qin Yajun looked in the direction of Guan Zhong, and said slowly: "Maybe, I hope nothing happens."
