Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 134

For a long while, neither of them spoke again.The atmosphere in the huge hall was stagnant.

The master of the Qin family clenched his hands tightly, the veins on the back of his hands burst out, his complexion was heavy, and his teeth were clenched.Shen Xinniang's words suddenly echoed in her ears. There are people who don't want to be here. Master Qin still thinks clearly, if he wants to consider the whole Qin family, he should not be blinded by closeness.

He raised his eyes to look at his son who he cherished and gave great hope to.

I saw Qin Ran's hand pinching the folding fan, I don't know if it was the joints or the bones of the fan rattling.

The master of the Qin family let out a long sigh, "You are my only son, and I have high hopes for you...Maybe I'm forcing you too much."

Qin Ran frowned slightly, and looked at his father suspiciously.

"I never took into account your preferences, your thoughts, what you think I give you, you should accept what... Maybe, I was really wrong." The master of the Qin family sighed.

"Father?" Qin Ran's tone revealed uncertainty.

"You still want to find him? No matter what the result is? No matter...he is not here, is he willing to take you away, why do you want to find him after so many years?" The master of the Qin family looked at Qin Ran and asked.

Qin Ran nodded firmly, "Yes, I have been waiting for me for so many years, and I want a result."

"Then you shouldn't do this." The master of the Qin family said, "You shouldn't have forced Shen's wife like this."

"Father..." Qin Ran frowned again, "This is something that is beneficial to both of us. She is also looking for it. I think we are looking for the same person. She and Grandpa are inextricably linked. , she knows the six-line divination technique! She can use the 72 dragon pans of my great-grandfather, and she understands our family's Feng Shui array!"

Qin Ran suddenly remembered something, and his eyes lit up, "By the way, didn't daddy say that I look a lot like my great-grandfather? I remember when Mrs. Shen saw me for the first time, she asked me with a very blank expression, 'We, Have you seen it?' I didn’t pay attention to it at the time, but now that I think about it, she must have known my great-grandfather!”

The master of the Qin family pursed his lips and said nothing, his eyes were deep and he couldn't see any emotion.

"Father, I don't mean to be unfavorable to her. As long as she agrees to cooperate and she helps me, I will help her. I don't know why she refuses something that is originally beneficial to both of us?" Qin Ran frowned while holding the folding fan tightly. Said.

The master of the Qin family sighed softly, "My son, not everything can be measured by profit. Although we are a family of merchants, we should also understand that some things have nothing to do with profit and cannot be forced. We must know how to let nature take its course. "

Qin Ran frowned and remained silent.

The old master of the Qin family smiled helplessly, "Of course, this is easier said than done. Being a father has required so much from you for so many years, and I think it's just trying to force others to make things difficult for you, imposing responsibilities you don't like on you."

"Father, you are doing it for my own good..." Qin Ran said in a low voice, "It's my son who doesn't appreciate it."

"No matter what you say is right or not, whether she has anything to do with him or not, is what you are looking for alone. Obviously, what you are doing now can only annoy her." The master of the Qin family said, "Based on what you know about her, Do you think she is a person who will bow her head and give in?"

Qin Ran was slightly taken aback.

The master of the Qin family shook his head slowly, "Although she is a weak woman, her state of mind is not weak. I don't think she will bow her head."

"I won't give up." Qin Ran pursed her lips and said.

"Attacking the city is the bottom line, and attacking the heart is the top priority." The master of the Qin family said in a gentle tone, "Only by retreating as the advance can we achieve our goal."

"How to retreat to advance?" Qin Ran asked.

The master of the Qin family raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and sighed, "You are too impatient, you must know that if you are impatient, you must slow down your steps so as not to make mistakes in haste."

Qin Ran frowned, "Father taught me that." His tone was clearly impatient.

"You've been waiting for so many years, but now that the result is approaching, can't you wait? She's not a person who gives up easily. Since she's looking for it, you just stand by and watch, isn't that all right?" The master of the Qin family He said slowly, "When she needs help, reach out to help, and when she doesn't need it, stay away and don't go up to provoke her. What harm will it do to you?"

Qin Ran frowned, "So passive?"

The master of the Qin family smiled, "Sometimes, being passive is taking the initiative."

Qin Ran shook his head, "I..."

"Quick success and quick profit are not worth it, as merchants say, and scholar-bureaucrats say, everything in this world is the same reason." The master of the Qin family patted his son on the shoulder, "It's not too young, you will be [-] years old, and you will soon be [-] years old." Now, it’s time to start a family and start a career, and hone your character.”

Qin Ran frowned when he heard this, "Father just said that he wouldn't force me..."

The master of the Qin family smiled helplessly, "It's just what I said as a father, that's all."

The master of the Qin family went to the capital to take back Qin Ran's willful orders.He even planned to personally apologize to Shen Xinniang, but was persuaded by the old housekeeper.

"Young man, I can't stand it!" said the old butler, never seeing the master being so polite to anyone.

The master of the Qin family touched his beard and said, "Young generation? She may not be a junior..."

The old butler was puzzled, he was much younger than the young master, so how could he not be a junior?
"But that's okay. I'll see you sooner or later. Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry." That's when the master of the Qin family didn't come to the door.

The three shopkeepers finally came down quickly, and they all felt that the lady had a way, and that if the lady came out, everything would be fine.

Danxin Jinxiang also beamed with joy when she heard the news from outside.

Only Shen Xinniang didn't relax at all, on the contrary, she became more serious than before the matter was resolved, "Do you know where Tie Zhu lives?"

Dan Xin froze for a moment, thought for a while before nodding and said: "I know, after he moved with his son, he told the shopkeeper Zheng of the pawn shop specifically. And he often goes to the pawn shop to help when he has nothing to do on weekdays."

"Let's go there." Shen Xinniang said.

What she said and what she did seemed to have been carefully thought out, and she went out as soon as she ordered.

Tie Zhu lived in the south of the city, but he was working in a pawnshop right now.

Shen Xinniang came to the pawn shop and asked someone to call Tie Zhu, and then ordered someone to go to Yunxiang Cloth Shop, and also called Sister Qing who was in charge of dyeing.

"My lady, what are your orders?" Tie Zhu and Qing Niang were very respectful, and the latter was a little more apprehensive about seeing his master.

"Sister-in-law Qing is in charge of dyeing and dyeing, she should be knowledgeable in fabrics, right?" Shen Xiniang asked.

Qing Niang nodded, "Know a little, not as much as the shopkeeper." This is probably a modest statement.

Shen Xinniang nodded, "You are down-to-earth and thoughtful, and I don't feel comfortable entrusting others with something, but it is just right for you to entrust it to you."

Qingniang was shocked, the lady trusted her so much?

"My lady... I, I... I will definitely do my best to live up to my lady's expectations!" Qingniang said excitedly.

Dan Xin chuckled at the side, "Sister-in-law Qing, you haven't heard what the lady said about it!"

Qingniang blushed and quickly lowered her head.

"What I want is your determination. Come to think of it, no matter what it is, you will do it well." Shen Xinniang didn't blame her, she said in an encouraging voice.

When Qingniang heard the words, her heart was full of strength and she nodded repeatedly.

"Previously, the cloth of Buxing was controlled by others, which seemed to have strangled the lifeblood of Buxing." Shen Xinniang said, "How can my lifeblood be held in the hands of others?"

"The lady is saying that we have to find a way to buy raw materials by ourselves?" Qingniang raised her head upon hearing this.

Shen Xinniang nodded slowly, there was no emotion in her pitch-black eyes, as steady as ever.

Qingniang heard her own heartbeat, this is not a trivial matter!
"Tie Zhu, I heard that you are in a pawn shop, and you also practice some kung fu with the guys?" Shen Xinniang turned to look at Tie Zhu at the side.

Tie Zhu scratched his head in embarrassment, "I'm making my wife a joke. I want to learn some fists and kicks, and I also want to practice with Shuanzi. This child was born weak, but after being told by my wife... er, after he recovered, his body got better and better. , learn to box and kick, keep fit, there is nothing wrong with it!"

Shen Xinniang nodded, "Go and take care of some people, and go south with Qingniang. Qingniang is a woman, and I am afraid that the journey will not be peaceful. She has a heavy responsibility, and you must protect her safety."

Hearing this, Tie Zhu cupped his hands immediately, "I will definitely live up to my lady's trust!"

"It's been a hard journey, so pay more money. If you don't have enough money on the way, you can get it directly from Dan Xin." Shen Xinniang said slowly.

Is this what support means?The lady valued it so much, which made both of them feel a little entrusted with important tasks, and their hearts were surging.

"Let's go after packing up." Shen Xinniang said as she got up.

"It's a lady!" The two said in unison.

"Miss, are you going back home?" Dan Xin helped Shen Xiniang into the carriage.

Shen Xinniang shook her head, "Go to Dongshi, and have a look at the Yuelai restaurant."

What's so good about restaurants?Danxin faintly felt that the fact that the young master of the Qin family was coercing her made the lady do something else!
Sure enough, Shen Xiniang came to the restaurant, went directly into the backyard, and summoned Shopkeeper Sun from under the octagonal pavilion in the backyard.

"Buy some land in the suburbs of Beijing, hire some long-term workers, and grow some vegetables." Shen Xinniang said, "I heard that the shopkeeper has a son who has reached the weak crown this year and failed to study. I want to experience the market with the shopkeeper and make a living. ?”

When shopkeeper Sun heard the words, there was a look of surprise on his face, "What orders does my master have? Although the child can't read well, his brain is still sharp. If my master has something to do with him, I will definitely live up to my trust."

"Father Hu has no sons. Although I don't know your son, I do know shopkeeper Sun." Shen Xinniang said.

This remark was like a compliment, Shopkeeper Sun was overjoyed when he heard it, and cupped his hands again and again, "Thanks to my boss for your appreciation."

"Let him run around and look around. It doesn't matter whether it's the capital city or the nearby counties. Buy some land in stretches, and let's grow our own grain." Shen Xinniang said.

"My boss, this is a big deal." Shopkeeper Sun murmured.

"We still have to rely on the shopkeeper and his son to do their best." Shen Xinniang nodded slightly.
