Chapter 39 The Wrath of the Seven-Tailed Fire Fox
…
"Hmph~"
Hearing this, a sneer appeared on the majestic face of the Qian family: "To be able to complete all arrangements in such a short period of time, without even trial and error, and come up with a complete set of marketing plans, this' Air cold chain transportation must have been Wang's plan from a long time ago."
"It's just that if that little beast hadn't acted blindly, how would the Wang family dare to leave us alone? This matter has a great impact, and it can even be said to have shaken the foundation of the family industry. Many elders in the family have raised objections. Uncle Zhong, don't you either I need to persuade you again, that little beast made such a big mistake, if he is not severely punished, how can he quell public anger?"
Butler Qian Zhong's lips moved slightly, but he didn't say anything after all.
But at this moment.
Outside the main hall, an angry voice suddenly shouted: "Qian Qinhong, how dare you!"
As soon as the scoldings ended, a woman in brocade clothes walked in from the door with a group of maids and servants.
This is a radiant beauty.
Phoenix eyes, beautiful nose, cherry lips, tender skin, and graceful figure... Every part of her body seems to be in accordance with the standards of beauty, but the aura throughout her body is domineering and sharp, with a condescending air. arrogant.
This woman is none other than Cao Lina, the current wife of the Qian family.
That is Qian Xuerui’s biological mother.
She was born in the direct lineage of the Liaoyuan Cao family of the fifth-grade Zifu family in Liaoyuan County, and her status was very prominent. Now in her early forties, her strength is at the early stage of the Lingtai realm. Even though she has given birth to a child, she still looks as radiant as a young woman in her early twenties.
"Nana, why are you here?" When Qian Qinhong, the head of the Qian family, saw her, his brows twitched slightly, "This matter is of great importance, so don't mess around."
"Why am I fooling around?" Cao Lina raised her pretty eyebrows and said angrily, "I married you Qian Qinhong as my second wife, and the son I gave birth to was not the eldest son, and his development prospects are limited. Ke Rui'er has strived for success since she was a child. Study hard and practice hard, even the ancestors like him quite a lot."
"This time Rui'er went south, everything he did was dedicated to the development of the family. Even if he made mistakes, it was just because he was young and reckless and acted imprudently. Now, you actually want to punish him for this mere mistake! You still think he is Your biological son?! Could it be that only Qian Xuehan, the son of you and your late wife, is your biological son, and Qian Xuerui is the bastard I stole from someone else?"
"Nonsense!"
Qian Qinhong, the head of the Qian family, turned pale with anger.
"Nana, don't talk nonsense. Of course Xuerui is my son. It's just that he acted recklessly and ruined the great opportunity of my Qian family. I'm afraid you don't know that there are several former friends of the Qian family who have good relations with me." Come to complain, saying that now that there is no high-quality grain, the income of the family industry has plummeted. The elders of the family also have great opinions on Xuerui. If he is not severely punished, how can he quell the public anger? "
"Public anger? What kind of public anger?!" Cao Lina sneered and said angrily, "This is obviously Wang's fault! Just a seventh-grade family, relying on some relationship with the academy, thought it could ride on us. I think back then, Wang The family is so poor that they can’t even eat. It’s not because of me, the Qian family, that they are what they are today. Now that their wings are strong, they dare to fall out with me, the Qian family, for mere profit. If they wait until they reach the sixth rank, or even the fifth rank family, Where can I find a place for my Qian family?"
at the same time.
The housekeeper Qian Zhong also advised: "The master of the house is kind-hearted and wants to take this opportunity to rebuild the old relationship with the Wang family. However, if we show our kindness easily, the Wang family may think that we are weak and will only be more crazy in the future. Even if the master of the family wants to win over Wang again. Family, we must first show the strength of our Qian family, so as not to make Wang family look down upon."
Qian Zhongnai is an elder of the Qian family. He has served the Qian family conscientiously for more than three hundred years. He has served three family heads and his knowledge and vision are unparalleled. Even the current head of the family, Qian Qinhong, had to consider his advice and opinions carefully.
"What Uncle Zhong said is absolutely true." Qian Qinhong, the head of the Qian family, thought about it and felt it made sense. "In that case, let's show my Qian family's methods, lest he really think that our Qian family is weak and can be bullied."
What's more, Qian Xuerui is his son after all, and he has the support of his biological mother, Cao Lina. This matter will eventually bring back some face for him.
Seeing what he said, Cao Lina immediately turned from anger to joy, took Qian Qinhong's arm and spoke softly and kindly.
As a legitimate daughter from the Zifu family, although she is arrogant, she also knows how to manipulate people's hearts. She knows that blindly being arrogant and domineering will only arouse Qian Qinhong's resentment. Only by softening her attitude in a timely manner can she make men be obedient to her. .
…
A few days later.
In Longzuo County, Shouda Trading Company was located.
Huiqisi, the driver of the flying chariot, was concentrating on wiping the telescope and celestial disk in his hands with extremely detailed and careful movements.
These two things are what he eats with. Among them, the Tianji Disk is a low-grade spiritual weapon distributed by the academy and is specially used to determine the direction. The telescope was given by the Wang family of Changning and can be used for long-distance observation.
Navigating a flying chariot in the vast sky is a technical job. It depends on these two "treasures" to keep him from losing his way.
Hui Qisi is over ninety years old this year and was once an ordinary disciple of Zifu Academy.
According to the rules, after graduating from the academy, ordinary disciples need to serve the academy for fifty years as a reward for the academy's training. When the fifty-year service period is over, you can choose to return to the family and take care of yourself, or you can choose to stay in the academy and earn more.
Last year, his fifty-year service period was actually completed, but he wanted to earn more, so he chose to stay in the academy as a chariot driver.
The flying chariot driver in the academy is actually very idle, because the opportunities for academy disciples to really need to use the flying chariot are very rare, and generally only direct disciples and important core disciples are willing to spend credits to hire flying chariots. On weekdays, he only needs to take care of his flying chariot and the red-crested crane at the other end.
Because of this, the flying chariot driver's income is actually not that much, but it can finally provide for his own life and cultivation needs. It is better than having to let the family squeeze out the few remaining money to support him after returning to the family.
However, even he himself did not expect that one day, flying chariot driver would actually become a hot and sought-after position.
During the time he came to Shouda Trading Company, the amount of money he earned was almost ten times more than before. Not only was it more than enough to support himself, but he could also in turn support his family.
Moreover, as the news about Wang's generous salary spread in the academy, many ordinary students of the academy who were about to graduate had their eyes on this area. In just the past few days, he has rejected several ordinary disciples who wanted to learn to drive a flying chariot from him.
Joke~ There are only so many flying chariots. What should he do if he teaches his apprentice?
After wiping the secret disk and properly fixing it on the flying chariot, Huiqisi looked up and saw a familiar old man.
He couldn't help but be happy: "Hey~ isn't this brother Chunyu? He's back from playing?"
It was Chun Yu Andong who had met him once before.
After playing around in the Izumo Guard, Hyakushima Guard, Changning Guard, and Zhenze Guard, Chunyu Andong was obviously in a good mood, with a satisfied smile on his face at the moment: "Hahaha~ Brother Hui, you guys This flying chariot is so convenient~ I don’t have to worry about the route or anything along the way. When I get to the place, I can roam around as I like. When the time is up, I can go to the trading house and take the flying chariot to the next stop. It’s so worry-free. I came up with this idea The person who came up with the idea is really a genius~"
He was full of praise for his experience along the way.
The company even thought of his accommodation in advance. When he arrived at the inn, he could check in directly by taking out the receipt issued by Shouda Trading Company.
In his whole life, he has never played so happily and worry-free~
"That's not true." Hui Qisi smiled and said, "The president of our trading bank is the Shouzhe patriarch of the Wang family in Changning. He is famous for his foresight and wisdom. It was he who came up with the travel package plan. It's not just you. , no one else who has experienced it can’t praise it.”
He is specifically responsible for the route from Longzuo County City to the Northwest Acropolis. He drives the chariot from Longzuo County City to the Northwest Acropolis every morning, and then flies back from the Northwest Acropolis.
The sun had not set yet, and there was still a little time before setting sail. He was not in a hurry, so he casually chatted with Chunyu Andong.
"Brother Chunyu, didn't you say you were going to Izumo Guard to find someone? How about it, have you found him?"
"Thank you for remembering me." Chunyu Andong sat down next to Hui Qisi, filled with emotion in his heart, "I thought that after so many years, she might have forgotten me. Unexpectedly, she has always been Instead of getting married, he became the ancestor of Lingtai and took charge of the family."
"In this life, I can actually see her again in this way. I, Chunyu Anton, have no regrets in this life."
Hearing what he said, Huiqisi was also sighing.
Who hasn’t had a moment of love yet? I think back then, when he was young, he had someone he admired, but things were fickle, and in the end it was all regrets~
Naturally, he understands this feeling very well.
However, before he could finish being impressed by himself, Chunyu Anton suddenly changed the subject: "By the way~ I heard that you can get a membership, a yearly or monthly subscription, how can I do it? I can go to Izumo Guard cheaper in the future How many?"
Hui Qisi's expression froze, and he looked at Chunyu Andong with an extremely strange expression. Didn’t you just say that you have no regrets in this life? Why are you even planning to get annual subscription now?
Chunyu Anton blushed when he looked at him, and he felt a little uncomfortable: "Hehehe~ Anyway, now that we have a flying chariot, it's more convenient to go back and forth. I'm thinking of getting a membership, so that I can come and go more often in the future, and I can also save some money. .”
Okay~ Okay~ As long as you are happy.
Huiqisi was speechless. He put away the half-cleaned telescope, turned around and led him towards the trading bank: "It is not my responsibility to register as a member. I will take you to the manager of the trading bank."
Chunyu Andong immediately followed him happily, and his mind unconsciously recalled the happy scene of meeting his old lover Yuexia from time to time.
Similar things are happening frequently in various places in Nanliuwei of Longzuo County.
The opening of flying chariot routes and the emergence of flying chariot cold chain transportation can be regarded as epoch-making initiatives to some extent. It directly changed people's concept of distance, and subsequently changed the consumption habits, consumption ideas, and rhythm of life of the Nanliuwei family, and even extended many new industries and lifestyles as a result.
And such changes are just the beginning.
…
New City Guard.
Yuwen family.
Because the six-tailed spirit fox, the town spirit beast, was successfully promoted to the seventh level, the Yuwen clan's momentum has increased dramatically during this period, and the number of major aristocratic families who come to visit Yuwen clan is also increasing day by day.
However, today, Yuwenshi welcomed a special guest.
One, a distinguished guest from the Qian family in Longzuo.
Yu Wenshi, in the main courtyard used for entertaining guests, a serious-looking old man wearing a purple brocade robe was sitting at the wine table drinking.
This old man looks very old, his hair is graying, and his face has a lot of wrinkles, but he has an invisible pressure that only a strong man can have on his body, and he is clearly a strong man in the heaven and human realm.
This Heavenly Realm elder is currently one of the most virtuous and respected elders of the Zifu Qian clan, a strong man in the late Heavenly Realm, Qian Jinghuan.
Although she does not have the name of the family head, but she has the actual status of the family head, Mrs. Bilian is currently receiving him personally with two more famous clan elders.
"Giggle~ Mr. Qian, how close you are to my Yuwen clan." Mrs. Bilian giggled and said beautiful words, "When my Yuwen clan was at its lowest, Mr. Qian helped me a lot. .Come, come, I’ll give you another toast, junior.”
Yuwen and Qian have been in contact for many years, and their relationship can't be said to be very good, but it can't be said to be bad either.
Both families are mainly engaged in business. It is inevitable for the two families to cooperate with each other, but it is also inevitable for them to compete with each other and create discord.
During the period when the ancestors of the Yuwen clan were descended from the Zifu, if there was competition between the two sides, the Yuwen clan would most likely suffer.
After all these years, it is absolutely impossible for Mrs. Bilian not to have any resentment in her heart.
What's more, she herself is not a broad-minded person. Now that she and Shouda Trading Company hit it off, she may not have the intention to disgust Qian.
She knew that Qian's kindness would definitely not come this time, and that those who came would be bad.
However, on the surface, she did not show any abnormality, and she still looked smiling and smiling.
After a while of drinking and drinking for three rounds.
Elder Qian Jinghuan finally couldn't hold himself back anymore: "Mrs. Bilian, you are a smart person. I believe you have already guessed our intention, so I won't go around the bush with you. After the decision of our Qian Presbyterian Council, We, Qian, are willing to give 10% profit on all projects we cooperate with Yuwenshi.”
Give 10% profit?
The two elders of the Yuwen clan suddenly narrowed their eyes, as if they were very interested.
However, Mrs. Bilian is not that easy to fool.
Her eyes flashed slightly, and her smile became brighter and more open-minded: "The prerequisite is that we must draw a clear line with Shouda Trading Company, right?"
"As expected of you, madam, you can really tell the truth." Qian Jinghuan, the elder of the Qian family, said with a smile, "This is a matter of mutual benefit for you and my clan." According to Qian's understanding, Mrs. Bilian has always been The Lord who understands form.
That 10% profit concession is definitely extremely beneficial to the Yuwen family. On the contrary, if she refuses and offends Qian, Yuwen will become very passive.
"Sounds very sincere." Mrs. Bilian said seriously, "It's just that it was not my idea to cooperate with Shouda Trading Company."
"Isn't it Madam's idea?" Qian Jinghuan said in slight shock, "Could it be the idea of an elder of the Yuwen clan? It doesn't matter, I can go and communicate with you."
"No, it's what our Fire Fox ancestor meant." Mrs. Bilian replied calmly.
"Ancestor Firefox?" Qian Jinghuan's expression suddenly changed. He never thought that this matter could involve Ancestor Firefox?
At this moment.
An arrogant girl's voice boomed in the banquet hall: "Yes, that's exactly what I meant. You bad old man, do you have a problem with me?"
The banquet hall was filled with fire.
A small and exquisite seven-tailed spirit fox suddenly appeared out of thin air. Before Qian Jinghuan could reply, it swelled in size and transformed into a big demon with fierce flames. He slapped it down without hesitation: "Old guy, you actually If you dare to sow discord between Brother Shouzhe and me, I’ll see if I don’t beat you to death.”
