Chapter 997: Thirty Years of War (1/2)
"Strategy for the Maximum Level Boss to Abuse Scumbags [Quick Travel]"
This girl needs to be beaten hard, otherwise Bao Buqi will do something even more outrageous in the future.
Although Qin Minyan loves Qi Yutong, she is not the kind of mother who dotes on her children. If she knows she is wrong, she will point it out immediately to let Qi Yutong know that she has done something wrong.
"Tongtong, what you did this time went too far. You, an unmarried girl, introduced your best friend to your brother. What do you think?"
Qi Yutong didn't expect that Qin Minyan would speak to her so harshly. She couldn't help but feel aggrieved, and whispered: "I just, I just think Sister Xinrui is very good..."
Before she could say the next thousand words, she was interrupted by Qin Minyan. Seeing that Qi Yutong didn't seem to know what she had done wrong, she couldn't help but frown and her face became more serious.
"Tongtong, do you still feel aggrieved? Do you think you did bad things with good intentions? In fact, you don't have any malicious intentions. You did those things out of good intentions. Do you think Xinrui is a good girl and suitable to be your sister-in-law? , so I’m going to help with the matchmaking, is that what you think?”
Qi Yutong didn't speak, but it could be seen from her expression that she did think so.
Qin Minyan took a deep breath and said earnestly: "You have three mistakes in this matter. The first point is that you should not be so self-righteous as to get involved in your brother's marriage as a sister. We are like this People, choosing a wife is not as easy as you think."
"Second point, have you ever thought that if your brother didn't like that girl Xinrui, if he said any inappropriate and harsh words, the friendship between you two would probably be completely broken."
Hearing this, Qi Yutong, who had been silent and listened to the instruction, hurriedly said: "Mom, no, Xinrui is a very nice person, she won't be angry."
In her previous life, when she was kicked out of the Qi family, her life was miserable. It was at that time that Zhang Xinrui extended a hand of friendship to her. When everyone avoided her like a snake and scorpion, and laughed at her when they saw her down and out, only Zhang Xinrui didn't dislike her, he helped her gain a foothold, and has been taking care of her ever since. Their friendship has been tested, how could it change because of these little things?
Seeing Qi Yutong's face full of disapproval, as if she was sure that her friendship with Zhang Xinrui was indestructible, Qin Minyan suddenly became furious and stretched out her long finger to poke Qi Yutong's forehead hard.
"Girl, what is in your head? Is it possible that when I gave birth to you and your brother, I gave all my brain to your brother, and there is only water left in your brain? You are such a beautiful little girl. Girl, why are your thoughts so simple?”
Getting along with others is a major subject. Qin Minyan realized at this time that she had spoiled her daughter too much in the past, making her unable to distinguish between true and false friendships in this world.
Qin Minyan did not deny that Zhang Xinrui was a good girl. Although her family background was not high, she could not find anything wrong with her way of dealing with people. She was considered to be above average among the upper class circles in Jinling City.
However, she did not think that this girl's association with Qi Yutong was entirely due to similar interests. After all, her life in the Zhang family was not good before her association with Qi Yutong, and she was also a marginalized figure in the entire upper class circle of Jinling City. It was precisely because she met Qi Yutong and became friends with her that her status rose a lot.
It's just because Zhang Xinrui can grasp the middle level very well and has never done anything excessive. In addition, Qin Minyan looked at her coldly and found that Zhang Xinrui was not completely using Qi Yutong, but was a little more sincere. This is how the two of them interact.
But the same is true for the relationship between friends and between men and women. There is a certain degree of care and nothing should be too much. You are good to others in every possible way, but if there is one thing that touches the pain point of the other person, then those things in the past I'm so afraid it's going to fall apart.
It's just that she talked earnestly for a long time, but Qi Yutong seemed not to listen at all. Qin Minyan was a little helpless, but she also knew that this matter could not be rushed, so she could only teach her slowly.
"Third point, you haven't considered your brother's mood. You even lied to your brother to go on a blind date. This is taking advantage of his love for you. Do you feel that you don't care about any unreasonable demands you make or do anything wrong? , your brother will forgive you and won’t argue with you?”
Qi Yutong lowered her head and did not dare to speak again. She felt a little guilty, but she also knew in her heart that she had indeed thought so before.
She felt that her brother loved her so much anyway, so it didn't matter if she went a little too far. He would always forgive her. After all, she was his sister from the same mother. He loved her so much in the past, so how could he not forgive her? ?
But now that her thoughts were pointed out by Qin Minyan, Qi Yutong felt guilty. Her head hung lower and lower, and she did not dare to look at Qin Minyan.
She really knew she was wrong. Qin Minyan and Qi Wang were so good to her that they made her forget her sense of propriety. Even if she was really a Miss Qi family, it would not be appropriate to do this, let alone she was just a fake. goods.
It's no wonder that the real sixth lady of the Qi family in her previous life was loved by so many people, but in the end she ended up being despised by everyone.
Thinking about it carefully, she dared to drug Qi Wang in her last life. In fact, subconsciously, she still felt that she had hurt her for so many years. Her brother who did not kick her out after knowing that she was not the real Miss Qi family doted on her and could tolerate everything she had. All the mistakes you made?
It was only at this moment that Qi Yutong clearly realized the dark and dirty side of his heart.
The kindness of her mother and brother to her has become a weapon for her to rely on favor and pride. She seems to have become accustomed to thinking about problems with herself as the center. She always thinks that she is doing good to others, so she does it without considering the consequences. It was his mother and brother who cleaned up the mess afterwards.
"Mom, I'm sorry. I know I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again next time."
Qi Yutong sniffed and said in a sullen voice: "I will apologize to my brother when he comes back. This time it is all my fault."
Seeing that Qi Yutong seemed to have really realized her mistake, the expression on Qin Minyan's face softened. She raised her hand and rubbed Qi Yutong's hair, and said softly: "Tongtong, don't blame your mother for being so harsh to you. After all, you are the sixth young lady of the Qi family. You can still be so willful at home, but if you get married, how can you be like this? "
Qi Yutong is already seventeen this year and will be eighteen after the New Year. It’s time to get married. No matter how pampered a girl is in her mother-in-law’s family, when a girl marries into her husband’s family, she will always be different from her mother-in-law’s family. Only by being more thoughtful can she be in her husband’s family. Better to survive.
After this conversation with Qin Minyan, Qi Yutong's mood improved a little. At the same time, she also realized her identity more clearly. She secretly swore in her heart that she must remember who she is and never act as recklessly as before. .
So when Qi Wang came back in the evening, she saw a figure holding an umbrella standing at the door of her yard. She didn't know how long she had been standing there. The hem of her skirt had been soaked by the rain. When the cold wind blew, Her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Qi Wang strode over, took off his coat, and put it on Qi Yutong.
Qi Yutong, who had been waiting for almost an hour, actually felt a little confused at this time. Qi Wang put body temperature clothes on her body, which restored some clarity to Qi Yutong's chaotic brain. She raised her head and looked at the person standing in front of her. He was very confused, with a somewhat dazed look on his face, and it took him a while to figure out who the person in front of him was.
"Brother, you are back."
After recognizing who the person was, Qi Yutong laughed. She stamped her stiff feet and apologized to Qi Huan seriously: "Brother, I'm sorry about what happened last time. I shouldn't have deceived you. I shouldn’t have introduced Sister Xinrui to you without your consent. It’s all my fault. Please forgive me, brother. I will definitely not do this next time.”
After saying these words in one breath, Qi Yutong looked at Qi Wang anxiously, waiting for his answer. Seeing that he kept staring at her but never spoke, Qi Yutong felt anxious and became more and more uneasy. stand up.
Will her brother not forgive her?
Thinking of this, Qi Yutong lowered her head in frustration. It seemed that the process of asking for forgiveness was a long way to go. Should she buy some gifts to apologize?
Just when Qi Yutong was thinking wildly, Qi Huan reached out and touched her head: "Is that why you stood outside my yard for so long?"
"ah?"
Qi Yutong looked at Qi Wan blankly, not quite understanding what he meant. Seeing her like this, Qi Wan smiled helplessly.
Not all reborn people in this world are full of IQ. For most people, rebirth can only allow people to avoid the pitfalls they stepped on in previous lives. Unless there are other adventures, otherwise the miracle of rebirth will not happen. It will not give people super high IQ again.
"That incident has passed. I'm not angry with you. Just remember not to do it again next time. It's getting late now. Your skirt is wet. Go back and change clothes. If you catch a cold, Mother has to worry."
With that said, Qi Wang raised his voice and shouted towards the yard, and soon the boy who was waiting inside ran out. Qi Wang told him to send Qi Yutong back.
Seeing that Qi Wan still cared about her as usual and didn't look angry, Qi Yutong finally felt relieved. She breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and waved to Qi Wan, and walked briskly towards her yard. walked in the direction.
After Qi Wang watched her leave, he turned around and entered the courtyard.
After entering the house, Qi Wang changed out of his wet clothes and changed into clean and comfortable home clothes, and then walked into his study.
However, Qi Wang stopped as soon as he entered the door. His eyes swept across the entire study room and found that the furnishings inside were exactly the same as when he left. Even the pen that he had put aside after writing was in its original position. He paused for a moment, turned around and walked out.
"Guo Ping, come here."
Qi Wan called the boy in charge of cleaning his yard over and asked him if he had gone in to clean his study today.
Guo Ping shook his head repeatedly and replied: "Young Master, I have never entered your study. You have told me before that no one is allowed to enter the study, so I dare not go there."
The study is a forbidden area in the courtyard. Qi Wang had previously issued an order that no one in the courtyard was allowed to enter the study. The people below were very obedient, so naturally they did not dare to enter.
Qi Wang glanced at Guo Ping. Guo Ping, who was standing opposite him, felt as if he was being targeted by something dangerous. The hairs all over his body suddenly stood up and his body tensed up instantly.
"Has anyone else been to my place today?"
Qi Wang asked again, and Guo Ping thought for a while and replied: "No one has been here except Miss Six, but Miss Six did not come to the study either. She only sat in the living room for a while and then waited outside the door. ”
Qi Wan called all the other boys in the yard over and asked again. They all said that they had not seen anyone coming.
After asking questions, Qi Huan sent them out. After that, he went back to his room and made a phone call. Not long after, a group of his soldiers came over and replaced the previous servants.
The servants who were replaced by Qi Wang felt panicked, thinking that they had committed something, and were terribly scared. After all, in the Qi Mansion, servants who made mistakes usually did not end well.
Although it is now the Republic of China and there is no longer a feudal society, in this era when human life is at stake, these servants may sound like helpers, but in fact they are just like those servants who signed a death contract in the past. There is no difference between people. The power of life and death is all in the hands of the master. If they make a mistake, the master can execute them on his own.
However, they had been on tenterhooks for a long time, but Qi Wang did not punish them very much. He just handed them over to Qin Minyan to deal with. After all, Qin Minyan arranged for them, so it was appropriate for her to handle them.
There are actually no secrets in the Qi family compound. It was soon known that Qi Huan replaced the servants with his soldiers. The courtyard of the second concubine and the third concubine was quiet, and no one paid any attention to it. What's the objection to this matter? They are just concubines, so how can they take care of Young Master Qi's affairs?
As for the next few children, naturally they don't have any objections.
Qin Minyan didn't notice anything was wrong. Qi Huan didn't explain it specifically, so she just thought it was because these people were not attentive to their service. Qi Huan felt unaccustomed to it. Seeing that he didn't want to use these people anymore, she simply paid them monthly money to send them away. gone.
The dozen or so servants originally thought that they were doomed this time, but they didn't know that not only were they not punished, but they also got their wages. Naturally, they were very happy. They all praised Qin Minyan and Qi Wang, thinking that they were rare and kind people.
However, after Qi Yuanhao found out about this, he immediately sent someone to call Qi Wan to his study.
"Seriously, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation. Who asked you to bring your soldiers back to the Qi family? You also asked them to guard your yard. Why, do you feel that it is not safe at home?"
Qi Wang, whose courtesy name is Zhengyan, is his nickname.
Qi Yuanhao is only forty-eight years old this year. Because of his years of fighting, he carries a murderous aura. He sat on the leather sofa and frowned at Qi Wang, who was standing not far away. He didn't understand this. How could the obedient son openly disobey his order this time and let his soldiers enter Qi's mansion?
You must know that in Qi Mansion, only Qi Yuanhao's personal soldiers can live here. As for the soldiers brought by Qi Wang, they are not allowed to come in.
Qi Wang had always done well in the past. Why did he suddenly disobey his orders this time and replace all the people in his yard with his own soldiers? Was he on guard against water, or was he trying to do something?
Thinking of this, Qi Yuanhao's expression changed slightly when he looked at Qi Wan, and there was also some probing look in his eyes.
Qi Wang's eyes did not dodge, and he looked at Qi Yuanhao frankly: "Father, someone secretly entered my study without me knowing."
Qi Yuanhao's frown showed no signs of relaxing: "Someone entered your study? Could it be that there are some secrets in your study? I have never seen you so concerned about your study in the past."
If he remembered correctly, the children in Qi Wang's study room could come and go at will in the past, because there were many books in his study room, many of which were extinct treasures. He was also a generous person and treated his younger siblings They are all pretty good. Even if he is not at home, his younger brothers and sisters can go into his study to borrow books and read them, as long as they can return them in time.
For rough guys like them, the study room is basically decorated. They only deal with some simple things here. Really confidential things will not be put in the study room. Qi Wang didn't care about this in the past, but now, Could it be that he wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble?
Qi Wang didn't say anything else, he just handed some drawings he had prepared to Qi Yuanhao.
"Father, I think that's why that person entered my study."
Qi Yuanhao was a little careless at first, but when he saw the drawing handed over by Qi Wan, the expression on his face suddenly changed.
"this is……"
To be able to sit in the position of commander-in-chief, he still has the vision. The pictures on this drawing are very different from those he has seen before. If the data above can be realized, then the strength of their troops I'm afraid the combat effectiveness will be directly improved by several levels.
"To be honest, where did this drawing come from? Have you ever conducted experiments? Have you researched the finished product?"
You must know that most of the guns used by their team are domestic imitation guns. Because the technology is not up to standard, these guns are easy to jam and explode. Not only do they have a low hit rate, but they also waste bullets. Only Qi Yuanhao’s relatives The Guards can use Mauser.
But he looked carefully and found that the performance of the machine on this drawing was even better than that of Mauser. If it could be produced...
Qi Wan nodded and said: "I have asked several arsenals under me to try to make them. I received news from my people before that ten rods have been successfully made and are now sending people over."
"What is the effect? Is it really as powerful as what is written on it?"
Qi Yuanhao asked anxiously. Because he was so excited, he couldn't even control his emotions and stood up from the sofa.
"When the things arrive, my father can test them himself, so he can know how they perform."
