Sir, my wife is pretending to be innocent again

There is a large house in the south of the city. The house faces east and west and is very spacious and upright. The door is also very grand. Unfortunately, the paint on the door has been mottled and peeled off, making it a bit bleak.

Perhaps it was a cold day, but the young men standing at the door seemed to have little energy. They yawned one after another, raised their hands to cover their mouths, and the edges of their sleeves were vaguely visible.

At this time, the mistress of the house was in a dilemma looking at the two pieces of jewelry in front of her, not knowing which one she should give away to pawn in exchange for New Year expenses.

There were two women standing next to them with low eyebrows. They were also wearing clothes that were [-]% to [-]% new. One of them raised her head and said carefully, "Mother, several girls in the house have grown very fast in the past year, and they have lost their ability to go out." Clothes for visiting guests.”

Another person also spoke cautiously, "I also want to buy an extra outfit. The one I'm wearing now is from last year. Is there no need to change it?"

The leader sighed and made a decision, "Take them all."

As soon as he finished speaking, the little girl came forward to report, "Old madam, we have a guest in our house. The master invites the old madam to come to the main hall to speak."

"Who's here?"

The old lady who was called the old lady was the old lady of the Qin family in the capital. She was a little surprised when she heard what the girl said. No one from the Qin family had come to visit for a while. Could it be that they were here to collect debts?

The little girl looked happy and said, "It's Uncle Shunyi."

The boy guarding the door was her brother. He said that he was given a reward as soon as he entered the door. It was one tael of silver. His brother was so happy that he almost flew away.

Mrs. Qin was a little surprised. She knew about Shunyi's uncle's house. He was a new rich man in the capital. Everyone who talked about him commented that he was extremely wealthy.

Since she was a visitor, Mrs. Qin specially changed into decent clothes, put the hairpin she had just said she wanted to pawn on her head, took the girl with her, and strolled to the main hall as if she was from a noble family.

In the main hall, Mr. Qin from the capital frowned slightly, "Are you telling the truth?"

The eldest brother of the Qin family nodded seriously, "Back then, my great-grandfather was separated from his family in Lingxiao City. He traveled all the way, and then encountered famines. He fled from famines all the way, and got seriously ill. I can't remember many things clearly. I vaguely remember that there were some events in the capital. It is said that there is a peach tree in the big house and a well beside the tree, and there is an elder named Qi Yu in the house."

"At that time, the family was in a tight situation and it was impossible to find relatives. Later, no one mentioned the death of my great-grandfather."

The news was all bought by Cheng Daqi. The high-class family had a huge population. Whose family hadn't lost one or two people?
As long as the story is reasonable and reasonable.

Cheng Daqi said: "There was a banquet in the house a few days ago. I heard by chance that there was a man named Qi Yu in the house. I thought that he was suitable in all aspects, so I came here to ask today. What if he is?"

After listening at the door for a while, Mrs. Qin suppressed the ecstasy in her heart. There was no such thing as this, it had to be!
This is wealth delivered to your door.

After walking through the door, everyone greeted each other. Mr. Qin told everything. Mrs. Qin first pretended to think about it, and then said in an uncertain tone, "That peach tree withered a few years ago. That peach tree withered long ago. The well is still there, I remember hearing my mother say before that someone got separated before, in Lingxiao City, why don't we check it out?"

Even if there is no such person in the family tree, it must be written immediately. If there is no one who can support the family, the house will have to be sold. Only then will it be shameful, and it will be called a disgrace to the ancestors, and they will not even be able to keep the family business. .

Cheng Daqi gave Cheng Daqian a look that said this was going to happen. According to their news, the Qin family in the capital was just one step away from selling their house, and the shop under their name had been sold long ago. The two young Qin masters in the house, No, they are not considered adults. Two idle jobs without any oil and water, it is a problem to support themselves.

In the past two years, he has been supported by the two daughters-in-law's natal families in the mansion. However, these two in-laws are also from aristocratic families and are not rich themselves. Mrs. Qin in front of her has pawned her jewelry more than once. Such a big house looks very old.

On the other hand, they must also catch the wealthy relatives who come to their door, no matter whether they are real or not.

The father and son of the Qin family knew something in their minds. The more they knew about the Qin family in the capital, the more satisfied they became. Their ancestors were all literati, from a scholarly family, and they had reached the highest level of a second-rank official. The father of the current head of the family had also been a governor before. That is to say, the Master Qin in front of him is not good in health, his luck is not good, and he is declining day by day.

But even such a person used to have outstanding literary talent and was famous in the imperial examination.

Satisfied, quite satisfied.

As long as they can get close to them, they will suddenly become a merchant and a noble family with a scholarly heirloom. The word "Qinggui" is very strong.

Madam Qin asked the Qin father and son a few more questions. The two were well prepared and answered fluently, which made Mr. Qin somewhat believe that they might be separated relatives.

"Do you have any physical evidence?"

The father and son shook their heads, and the eldest brother of the Qin family said: "I heard that my great-grandfather used to carry two valuable items with him, but life was hard at that time and he pawned them to survive."

This reason is also very good. Mr. Qin asked him the name of his great-grandfather. The eldest brother of the Qin family said: "My great-grandfather's surname was Qin and his name was Yongshun. This was given to him by his master when he was an apprentice. He said that his previous name was very big and was called Bingcang." , his health is not good, and his master said he can’t bear the name.”

"But I remember Qi Yu, saying I can always remember someone calling this name."

Mrs. Qin smiled and said, "Is he also Bing's generation?"

Both the Qin family father and son said they didn't know, that's what they were called anyway.

Master Qin asked for several details, and the Qin family father and son answered selectively. If they didn't know, they said that their great-grandfather had lost his memory. Mrs. Qin winked at Master Qin, and the two of them left the main hall on the pretext of going to read the family tree. Brother Cheng Daqi He exchanged glances with the Qin family father and son, knowing each other tacitly.

In the back hall, Mr. Qin said that he should carefully check the family bloodline and not confuse the family blood. Mrs. Qin said: "Whether they are or not, they must be. Anyway, their information is not complete, so just say they are side branches."

"Master, the family is going to be in trouble. Such a wealthy relative fell from the sky. What is there to hesitate about? Let me tell you, I only have these two hairpins on my head. If we do, we will have to sell the house. When the time comes, How does this family get around in the capital?"

"We can only move the whole family out of the capital, but what about the future of our children and grandchildren?"

"I don't care, I must accept this kiss."

Mr. Qin was still a little hesitant, worried that Shunyi Uncle's Mansion and the Qin family's father and son were plotting something wrong. At this time, two middle-aged men walked in and spoke as soon as they entered the door, "Father, now that Shunyi Bo's Mansion is in full swing, what good will it do to our family?" Coveted?"

They hurried back after getting the news. They were officials of different sizes and could only support themselves with monthly salary. They couldn't see any profit or water. They wished that someone could give them a hand.

No matter how good the connections are, you still need to spend money to maintain them, right? After all, there are no fatal friendships. (End of chapter)
