Chapter 1001 Thirty Years of War (1/2)

《Guide to the Max-level Boss and the Trash [Quick Transmigration]》

Qin Minyan was born in a good family. Although her family background is not as good as Qi Yuanhao's, the Qin family is also a big family in Jiangnan. She grew up in luxury and did not really care much about money.

However, although she was educated in the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, she was not very upset about her husband having other women.

When the couple first got married, Qin Minyan was the only mistress in the entire Qi family, so she also treated Qi Yuanhao as her husband at that time. But later, as the second and third concubines entered the mansion, Qin Minyan's heart gradually cooled down.

If outsiders knew Qin Minyan's thoughts, they would probably think she was hypocritical. After all, in the eyes of others, there were only two concubines in Qi Yuanhao's backyard. Compared with other families with seven or eight concubines, Qi Yuanhao's backyard was already clean, and he had strict rules. No matter how favored the two concubines were, they had to bow down in front of her, the eldest lady. No matter what happened behind the scenes, at least they still respected her very much on the surface.

But Qin Minyan didn't think so. Her thoughts might be a little unorthodox, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with her - when they got married, Qi Yuanhao promised her that they would be together for life and that there would be no other women in the yard except her. As a result, within two years, he had completely forgotten his original oath.

It was already the Republic of China, and they talked about liberating women and improving their status, but in the end, women could only be vassals of men. They couldn't even say no to men taking concubines, and they had to happily take care of men's concubines and the children born by concubines... Qin Minyan felt suffocated just thinking about it.

Since then, Qin Minyan put aside her full of emotions and tried to be a qualified wife of the Qi family. However, she made Qi Yuanhao very satisfied and felt that she was a perfect and virtuous wife.

"Minmin, do you think that apart from these things, I can't come to your room to find you?"

Qi Yuanhao didn't hear the sarcasm in Qin Minyan's words, and said helplessly. Then he got up and came to the bed, sat down slowly, and then reached out to pull Qin Minyan's hand over.

Although she was in her early forties, Qin Minyan's hands were still like those of a little girl, delicate and smooth. Qi Yuanhao didn't dare to use force when touching her, for fear that the calluses in his palms would scratch the other's tender skin again.

Qin Minyan smiled and said half-truthfully: "That's not the case. Today is not the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month. The master is either in the third concubine's room or the second concubine's room. It is because the two of them are arguing about not having enough money that the master wants to come to me." Qi Yuanhao felt guilty for some reason when he heard this. He couldn't help but coughed and changed the subject: "Minmin, I didn't come to you today for these things, but for something serious. Listen to me." After considering his words, he said his purpose: "That's the thing. Minmin, don't worry. I don't want these factories. I just want to check the accounts. To be honest, the accounts of these factories are not right. I know you are not good at this, so I want to help you." When Qin Minyan heard Qi Yuanhao say that he wanted to take back the factories in his hands, she almost exploded. She thought Qi Yuanhao wanted to give these properties to Qi Yan. Just when she was about to explode, she heard Qi Yuanhao say that it was Qi Wang who said that there was a problem with these accounts and asked him to help check them. Qin Minyan suppressed her anger and smiled appropriately: "That's great, Master, you know that I hate to look at these account books. Usually, the shopkeepers under me report whatever they say. It's great that you can come to help me. Don't hand it over to me after you've finished reading it. Let Awang take care of it. Isn't he going to stay at home for a while?"

However, Qi Yuanhao shook his head and said: "Don't bother him with these things. Zhengyan is a man who wants to do big things. Don't bother him with these trivial matters."

The long-lance designed by Qi Wang is excellent. He is obviously very talented in weapon design. In this case, he should use all his energy on it. It's better not to bother him with those trivial matters.

Seeing Qi Yuanhao's objection, Qin Minyan did not continue to talk to annoy him. She thought for a while and continued: "By the way, Master, Ah Wang is twenty-five this year. It's time for him to get married. I'm thinking of holding a banquet and inviting all the famous ladies in Jinling City. Let's choose from them. What do you think?"

Qi Yuanhao nodded and said, "It's up to you to decide, but you still have to discuss this matter with Zhengyan to see what he thinks."

Qi Yuanhao was still very open-minded on this point. Anyway, he had three sons, one was not married and the other was married. He didn't lack grandchildren anyway. He still had to choose a daughter-in-law that he liked, otherwise he might not be comfortable getting along with her in the future.

Qin Minyan also knew Qi Yuanhao's personality, so she just notified Qi Yuanhao and let him know about this matter.

It was late at night, and since Qi Yuanhao had come, he had no intention of leaving. Qin Minyan did not dislike Qi Yuanhao at this time. After he washed up, the two of them quickly fell asleep.

The name Lixiao Pavilion sounds quite elegant, but it is a very famous opium den in this area. Like other opium dens, it is hidden in an alley deep in a hutong. If no one leads the way, There is really no way to find the right path among the roads as dense as a spider web.

At this time, it was just dawn, and the dark brown door of Lixiao Pavilion opened from the inside. A skeletal man was thrown out from the inside by two men wearing shorts.

"Bah, you still want to come to our place to enjoy it when you don't have money, and you don't even want to ask where this place is. Is this a place where you can be arrogant?"

The middle-aged man who was thrown to the ground ignored the pain on his body and climbed up to hug the thug's thigh. However, looking at his tears streaming down his face, the thug felt so disgusted that he raised his foot and kicked the man. Then he rolled down the steps again.

"Don't chatter with me here. Go home and get the money. If you have money, you can be an uncle. If you don't have money, you can get as far away from me as possible. Shao Chu is an eyesore here."

After that, the two thugs spat hard at the middle-aged man on the ground, turned around and left, ignoring his pleading.

The middle-aged man was kicked in the chest, and the pain made him twitch all over. But when he saw the two thugs closing the door and going back, he immediately let out a wailing cry and rolled over, trying to pounce on them.

"Please, let me in, I have money, I will have money soon..."

However, the most indispensable thing in opium dens is people like him. Those who can bring money into opium dens will naturally be treated as honored guests, puffing away smoke from their pipes, and living like gods. .

But all this is based on the fact that the customer has money. Once the customer loses money, he will be kicked out by the thugs here like they are treating garbage.

The most indispensable thing for opium dens is customers. In these days, a lot of people come to this opium den with money to have fun. There are many poor people, but there are just as many rich people. When they have no money, they sell houses, land, and Sons are sold, daughters are sold, wives are sold, and all the money can be squeezed out, and then they will be thrown out like rags and strips.

There are many people who clearly know the dangers of this smoke, but they flock to it as if they are crazy, just to enjoy the wonderful moment as if they are in a fairyland.

These people are attracted to big smoke. They lie in the opium den and puff away the smoke. They are drunk and dreamy. They just care about their own happiness. How can they care about other things?

When these people step into a smoking den, they have already lost their humanity. As they sink deeper and deeper, the erosion of the smoke becomes more and more severe, and they will become completely slaves to the smoke. Completely lost myself.

It is worth mentioning that not all of these opium dens are run by foreigners. Many of them are owned by aristocratic families. Don’t they know the dangers of these opium cigarettes?

Not so, but anyone who has gone to school for two years and knows some words will know about the Humen era of cigarette smoking, the harm caused by the smoke, and the foreign wolves, tigers and leopards who used the smoke to plunder China. How much wealth has been gained and how many people have been harmed.

They all know it, but they don't care about it, just because the benefits brought by smoke are huge enough.

Smoking is highly addictive. It is almost a one-time addiction. It takes great perseverance and perseverance to quit. There are very few people who can quit on their own. Even if they quit, the possibility of relapse is very high. high.

Moreover, heavy smoke will destroy people's spirit and body. At first, it will indeed make people feel unprecedented excitement and happiness, but these are all based on the premise that the body has been destroyed. All the excitement and happiness you feel now are all the human body. The potential of the next few years or even decades is all overdrawn in exchange.

To put it simply, as long as a person is exposed to heavy smoke, this person will basically be destroyed. However, it is not the person who smokes that is destroyed by heavy smoke. What is often destroyed along with it are the countless people behind him. People are his relatives and children. When smokers are desperate and cannot get money to exchange for cigarettes, they will lose their humanity and extend their sinful claws to their closest relatives.

The middle-aged man finally climbed to the door of Lixiao Pavilion, but the door had already been closed. No matter how hard he beat it, the door would not be opened to him. Unless he became rich again, the people inside would. Invite him in like an uncle.

"No, it won't work without money. I want money, I still have money, I still have money..."

He was dragged out halfway through smoking. After the addiction started, he couldn't control himself, and his body curled up like a shrimp. In order to relieve the addiction in his heart, he unconsciously gnawed on his fingers until he was The blood dripping from his ten fingers, but he still didn't stop.

At this time, his mouth was full of blood and he looked like he was crazy. Apart from his human appearance, where could he look like a human being? It would be an understatement to say it was a dying beast.

After the energy subsided, he stood up unsteadily and walked in the direction of his home.

He wants to go back to raise money, and he wants to smoke something that makes him extremely happy again. Smoking is his life. Without this, he will die...

"As long as I can take a puff and let me do anything, I'm willing to do anything..."

He laughed nervously, staggered and disappeared around the corner of the alley.

Behind the high walls on both sides of the alley are people puffing away smoke one after another. They are lying on the smoke-soaked chaise longues, enjoying this dreamlike and fairy-like life.

Everything in the outside world has nothing to do with them. Here they feel that they are just like the emperor. No, no, the emperor's life is not as happy as they are.

If possible, they are willing to indulge in such a life for the rest of their lives.

It started to rain in Jinling after we separated from Zhang Xinrui in the cafe last time. Qi Yutong didn't like rainy days, so she stayed at home and didn't go out. When the weather finally cleared up, she immediately made an appointment with Zhang Xinrui to go shopping.

Before going out, Qi Yutong met Qi Yuyi. The two never dealt with each other and always got into fights every time they met.

"Sixth sister, what are you doing out there dressed up so beautifully? Do you have a sweetheart? Oh, I was wrong. Our sixth sister has very high standards. Other people can't catch your eye. So many men like us. Sixth sister, do you want to make a good choice?"

Qi Yuyi still remembered that the last time Zhang Dekang approached her was to get information about Qi Yutong, so even after such a long time, she still couldn't help but want to say a few words after seeing Qi Yutong.

Qi Yutong blinked, as if she didn't hear the innuendo in Qi Yuyi's words. She obediently called her Fifth Sister, and then followed Qi Yuyi's words and said: "Fifth Sister is right. I didn't notice this in the past." I will pay attention to this matter in the future, thank you Fifth Sister for reminding me.”

Qi Yuyi's eyes widened, and she looked at Qi Yutong as if she had seen a ghost, as if she didn't recognize her - was this the same Qi Yutong who had to fight with her for nothing? Could it be that he hit his head and knocked everyone stupid?

Of course Qi Yutong knew what Qi Yuyi was thinking now, but she didn't care. In the past, she thought she was the real lady of the Qi family, and she was doted on by her mother and brother. She, the legitimate daughter of a serious lady, faced those Naturally, a concubine born to an aunt feels superior to others.

So as long as the other party finds trouble, she will immediately fight back, just like a little lion showing its teeth and claws. But now that she knows her true identity, she will immediately feel guilty and short of breath. After all, she is not the real Miss Qi family. She was born to a concubine, a concubine, and she was also a serious marshal's daughter. What did she mean?

While Qi Yuyi was so shocked that she couldn't speak, Qi Yutong nodded towards the other party and said: "Fifth sister, I have firmly remembered what you said, but I have something else to do, so I won't talk to you for now. Okay, let’s meet again when we have time.”

After saying these words, Qi Yutong did not wait for Qi Yuyi's answer, but directly passed her and left.

Qi Yuyi stared blankly at Qi Yutong's leaving figure, and it took a long time to regain her composure.

There must be a conspiracy in this. This damn girl used to be so arrogant and domineering. Because she came from the eldest wife's belly, she didn't take her seriously at all. Today, she suddenly changed her gender. There must be a conspiracy!

Qi Yuyi was indignant, thought about it again and again, and finally decided to follow him to see what was going on.

She didn't believe it anymore. No matter how a person's temperament changed, it would never be like a different person. When something went wrong, there would be a monster, so she had to be careful.

"Xinrui, I'm here!"

Qi Yutong arrived earlier than Zhang Xinrui, and the two made an appointment to meet at a ready-made clothing store. The clothes sold here are all imported from abroad, which are exquisite and beautiful. Qi Yutong is a regular customer here, but Zhang Xinrui has never spent money here. There is no other reason than that the clothes here are too expensive and Zhang Xinrui cannot afford them under her conditions.

"Tongtong, why did you set the date here this time? Didn't you agree to go to a movie today?"

Zhang Xinrui changed into a light blue plain cheongsam today. Her hair was slightly permed, and the ends of her hair were slightly curly. She looked a little more playful and agile than before.

After Qi Yutong saw the other party, a big smile immediately appeared on her face. She walked quickly to Zhang Xinrui and pulled her to the shelves with clothes.

"Xinrui, I remember it's your birthday soon, and I don't have anything to give you. It just so happens that this store has a new batch of dresses. I think these suits suit you very well. Why don't you put them on and have a look? If anyone likes it, I’ll give it to you.”

Hearing this, Zhang Xinrui immediately shook his head and refused repeatedly: "No, no, these clothes are too expensive. You have already given me a lot of things in the past. I can't accept any more from you."

The family backgrounds of the two are not equal. Qi Yutong has always been generous, and the gifts he gave her are of high value. Although Zhang Xinrui often returns gifts, she has to admit that the value of her return gifts is far less than what Qi Yutong gave her. .

The communication between friends also requires balance. If the balance is lost, the friendship will naturally change.

"Xinrui, don't reject me. This is a birthday gift for you. It's different. Also, just think of it as the apology I gave you last time."

Hearing Qi Yutong mention what happened last time, Zhang Xinrui looked a little uncomfortable. She was silent for a while, then she smiled again and said softly: "It's okay, I know you mean well. , I don’t care.”

It was reasonable for Qi Wang to look down on her. Although Zhang Xinrui had some unrealistic dreams before, she also knew that the two of them were on different paths after all, and it was normal for them not to get together.

Qi Yutong was kind-hearted, and she also actively tried to bring the two of them together. Although the method might be a little wrong, Zhang Xinrui would not blame her for this.

But in the end, she still couldn't get over Qi Yutong, so she had no choice but to choose the dress with the lowest price.

"I just want this."

When the two came out of the clothing store, two figures walked out of the clothing store opposite. One of them's eyes lit up instantly when he saw Qi Yutong.
