After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 682 Master Han is afraid

"You might as well go to sleep if you have time to talk about these things." Grandma Qin poured him some hot water and said, "Wash your feet and go to sleep quickly after that. You still have work to do tomorrow."

"Hey." Grandpa Qin smiled, took off his boots and soaked his feet. After his body was warm, he went to bed on the stove.

The next morning, Granny Qin Liu came to the Qin family and asked Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin for advice: "Fifth brother and sister-in-law, are we going to send the New Year gifts today? Are we going to send all of them? Giving away so many New Year gifts without a definite answer, won't it scare the Han family?!"

"If you don't give a generous New Year's gift, Chief Han will think that your family is not satisfied with his daughter." Grandma Qin knows her stinginess best, and added: "The money for the New Year's gift is deducted from Ajie's dividend, and you two don't have to pay for it. Why are you so distressed? Just give it according to Ajie's request."

"Then Patriarch Lu's family won't have any complaints, right? This New Year gift is more valuable than the one Ah Ying gave to his family." Granny Qin Liu was the type of person who would feel uncomfortable if she didn't take some of the things she handled.

Oh, Qin Xiaomi smiled: "I advise you not to do anything naughty. If you ruin the marriage with the Han family, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

"The daughter of the head of the Han clan will never have trouble finding a husband. She is a local clan near the county town, and Mr. Han has a legitimate reputation. Now that the county magistrate of Baofu County is gone, do you think the Han family has any chance of making further progress?"

In order to better govern the counties and towns, the county magistrates of the Wei Dynasty were almost all local tyrants.

With his family as a backer and having made great contributions as a spy, Master Han might actually be able to become a county magistrate.

"What? Seriously?" Qin Liupo was so happy that she immediately scolded Qin Jie: "You little bastard, you are just ignorant. How can you only give rice, flour, salt, sugar, oil, meat, and two pieces of green and red cloth? You must also give him a sheepskin!"

Since it was Qin Jie who paid the money, Qin Liupo didn't feel bad at all. She went home immediately and added a sheepskin to the New Year gift.

At the beginning of the Si hour, Han Shifu came to say goodbye.

Qin Laoliu and his wife immediately came over with valuable gifts: "Patriarch Han, my son Ajie has been taken care of by your Master Han. Please accept these two New Year gifts. The one with the sheepskin is yours, and the rest is Master Han's."

Qin Ying also came, standing at the back carrying two baskets of rice, flour, sugar and oil.

"This?" Han Shifu looked at Grandpa Qin.

"Please accept the gift from Lao Liu and his wife, Patriarch Han." Grandpa Qin smiled and handed over his family's New Year gift to Han Shifu: "This is my family's New Year gift, a piece of cloth dyed in our workshop. It's not worth much. Please accept it, Patriarch Han."

A piece of new colored cloth, red cloth at that, even if it was made with new dye, was worth at least five taels of silver. In counties and towns, it was a real gift.

Han Shifu was deeply moved and finally accepted the gift: "Thank you very much, both gentlemen."

Then he asked, "Do you have anything you want me to take to Brother Jie and the servant Xu? We have a car on the way, so we can take as many things as you want."

You’re welcome. Village chief Zhou also asked us to bring something to Team Leader Zhou and Master Han.

"Really?" Grandpa Qin smiled and asked Han Shifu and the others to wait for half a minute. Then the Xu and Qiao families came over carrying things.

"It's leather gloves, food, and medicine to drive away the cold and induce sweating. Thank you for your trouble." Aunt Xu said.

"Don't worry, I will definitely bring it to you!" Han Shifu smiled, patted his chest to assure, and then clasped his fists and said to Grandpa Qin: "Thank you for the Qin family's hospitality. If the Qin family needs food, dry firewood, etc., please send someone to inform us. We will deliver them to the Qin family even if it snows, and at a preferential price!"

The Han family owns a lot of land and has many forests, so in addition to running a grain store, the Han family also does firewood business.

Firewood is a hot-selling commodity in Northeast Province in winter. Being able to offer a preferential price means that we really treat the Qin family as relatives.

"Goodbye, Mr. Qin, please stay. It's cold, so you don't have to see me off!" Han Shifu said goodbye to the Qin family and happily returned to the county town with the convoy.

Arriving at the county town in the afternoon, Han Shifu went to the government office to meet his cousin, Han Shiye, and patted him on the shoulder, praising him: "Good boy, you have found a good family for your brother."

After hearing this, Master Han understood: "Brother Clan Leader, are you going to marry Brother Jie?"

Han Shifu nodded and told Master Han about his experience. He then said, "Mr. Qin is a very good man and treats Ajie's family very well. Ajie's brother is also a very good man, who is willing to work hard and does not care about anything. His in-laws, the Lu family, are also very good. The area around Xinda Street has developed very prosperously. Now the entire Lujia Village is thriving."

He also said about Qin Laoliu and his wife: "Most of the rumors are untrue. Qin Laoliu and his wife are very nice people and they are both generous." What the hell?
Master Han's face twitched a little: "If the clan leader brother praised them for something else, I might believe it, but if you praise them for being generous, that's impossible."

Generosity is not in their nature.

Han Shifu: "But they gave my family a very generous New Year's gift. Just the sheepskin that was treated with nitrate was worth ten taels of silver."

Leather that has not been nitrated is cheap, but leather that has been nitrated is very expensive.

"Hiss, you gave sheepskin as a gift?" Master Han was scared when he heard it: "No, I have to call Ajie to ask him, otherwise I'm scared."

Who wouldn’t be scared if a miser suddenly becomes generous?
What if there is something that the Han family cannot handle?
Seeing his cousin so frightened, Han Shifu also became afraid and agreed to let him call Qin Jie over.

After Qin Jie arrived, he listened to their words, thought about it, and told the truth: "The reception expenses and the annual gift money are all deducted from my dividends, and the sheepskin is also mine."

He told them that he was afraid that his parents would neglect the Han family, so he paid them to give them a good reception.

This?
Master Han and Han Shifu were stunned, but said: "If you can handle it, it's fine."

The parents-in-law are too shrewd, which does scare the girl's family, but if the husband can control the shrewd parents, then it is not a big deal.

When Qin Jie heard this, he was delighted and bowed, "Thank you, Uncle Han, thank you, Master Han."

When Han Shifu saw this, he understood that Han Shifu wanted to marry into the Han family, and he felt much happier.

But he didn't say anything final right away, he just said: "It's getting late, I'm going home first."

This means going home to discuss with family members.

He also told Master Han: "Brother, Ajie has helped the Han family before, you have to take good care of him. Don't let him run errands outside the city in such a cold weather, it's too tiring."

Master Han smiled and said, "Yes, don't worry, Brother Clan Leader."

After hearing this, Qin Jie felt relieved. It seemed that his family performed well and Uncle Han was quite satisfied with him.

Qin Jie and Master Han escorted Han Shifu out of the yamen.

After Han Shifu returned home, he told his wife about the matchmaking and asked, "What do you think?"

His wife said, "They are quite good. Everyone has their own flaws. The most important thing is that they don't hold back when things get tough... My younger brother said that when the bandits massacred the village, Qin Laoliu and his wife behaved quite well. At least they managed to share life and death together."

Han Shifu nodded in agreement: "That's right."

His wife added: "The most important thing is that our Wan Niang is satisfied with him and he also has our Wan Niang in his heart. That's enough."

Because of the spy's crime, Qin Jie came to Hanjia Village and met Han Wanniang.

"I have to say, this boy Ajie is really good-looking, with a nice face, neat teeth, and a tall stature. He looks very majestic when he is escorting the offspring of bandits. No wonder our mother Wan fell in love with him at first sight... Hiss, why are you pinching me?" Han Shifu covered the back of his hand that was hurt by the pinch.

His wife glared at him and said, "Before the marriage is officially settled, you better watch your mouth. If you damage our Wan Niang's reputation, I will skin you alive."

Han Shifu: "I see. Aren't there only two of us here?"

Besides, it’s not too unusual for a girl to fall in love with a boy first.

Although Han Shifu was scolded, the atmosphere in the Han family was very good during dinner, so everyone in the family guessed that the couple must be very satisfied and that a wedding would be held in the family.
