Chapter 177: A Feast That Never Remains
Invisibly, it also gave Qiu Miaomiao encouragement.
Knowing that at least my father and sister are supportive of my husband and wife, my mental condition has gradually improved.
Taking this opportunity, one day, I came to see Qiu Miaomiao in the autumn county order.
When Qiu Yan and his wife accompanied him to eat together, Qiu Yan mentioned the matter of Tiji Mansion by the way.
"Father, now my sister's situation is improving, and we also want to take care of the rest of the things for her, can you help me let my sister still have that scum and leave!"
"Sister can only really live her own life in the future if she stays away from that scumbag, father, what do you think?"
During this period of Qiu County, Qiu County also learned from Qiu Yan and them one after another, what kind of life Qiu Miaomiao had lived before, and she was naturally very distressed about this daughter.
When he heard what the couple said, he immediately waved his hand and agreed.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to me, but where is that Ji Zhai now? Even if I want to press his head and make him reconcile with Miaomiao, I need him to sign and press the handprint. ”
"Father-in-law, you don't have to worry about this."
"Now that scumbag is still being watched by us, as long as you say a word, I can immediately press him to sign, press the handprint, and then return my sister to a quiet one."
Hearing Qiu County's questioning, Lu Chiye immediately jumped out.
When Qiu Xianling heard this, he glanced at him vaguely several times.
He also knew that this son-in-law was capable of doing great things.
Since Ji Zhai tortured Miaomiao so badly before, it is also appropriate to clean him up now, and he didn't even ask where he was locked up now, so he nodded happily and agreed.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you to deal with, and I'll let people deal with it, and give Miaomiao and them the matter of reconciliation."
After saying that, after quickly solving the meal, he trotted all the way to let people go to errands.
On the day she got the book and left, Qiu Yan was sincerely happy for Qiu Miaomiao.
The couple came to the firewood room again, directly pressed Ji Zhai's hand, forced him to sign his name in the lower right corner, and after pressing the handprint, he sent the letter of separation to the government again for sealing.
From then on, it can be officially announced that Qiu Miaomiao has completely gotten rid of the season house and has a new life.
When she got the book and left, Qiu Miaomiao almost cried with joy.
Now, getting rid of the shadow of Cao Xinfeng and Ji Zhai, she has rekindled her enthusiasm for life, and she is recovering faster and faster.
At the same time, good things came again, and the reward from the court was finally sent to Qiu Yan and his wife.
The official in charge of announcing the will smiled like a Maitreya Buddha in front of the two, "Master Lu, Mrs. Lu, this is the first time that you and your wife have experienced such preferential treatment!" ”
"In the future, there will be a day when you will soar, but don't forget that I came to see you two in person today."
"Thank you, my lord, for your hard work this time, please go to the next room to rest first, and then our husband and wife will arrange for you to go to the restaurant in the city, and take care of the wind and dust for you."
Qiu Yan glanced at the maid next to her, and after that, the clever maid immediately took the adult to rest in the wing.
Then, they followed Lu Chiye with a look of being a wealth fan, and carried the reward sent to them by the imperial court to the house and watched it carefully.
In addition to some silver and a few plaques sent to them, there was actually a token.
Lu Chi Yezai looked at this token carefully, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a satisfied smile.
"This token is much more useful than these honors, with this thing, when we help the court in the future, we can ask local officials to help."
"Really? That's good! Isn't this equivalent to Shang Fang's sword? It's good, it's good, let's keep it! Qiu Yan was overjoyed.
However, the rewards of the court have come, and now, the couple is really leaving.
Fortunately, Qiu Miaomiao's health has improved a lot now, so before officially leaving, Qiu Yan and his wife specially invited Qiu Xian Ling and his sister to come out for a meal together.
After personally handing over everything to Qiu County Ling to help take care of, the family chattered until midnight.
However, there is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed.
On the second day, Qiu Yan and the others could only take the luggage that had already been packed and prepared to leave.
However, after the two left from Qiguang Mansion, they did not rush to the capital immediately, but had further arrangements.
Qiu Yan and his wife sat in the same carriage, and Ji Feifan and another more powerful subordinate sat in the back.
The two got together and talked about it.
"Even if we don't go right now, we'll have to send some news over there, at least let them know we'll be there in a while, right?"
"Makes sense." Lu Chiye looked at Qiu Yan approvingly.
However, she was also worried that her self-assertion would cause her dissatisfaction, so she hurriedly took the initiative to explain why she arranged it this way.
"The reason why I didn't think about going to the capital right away was that I wanted to go to the nearby towns first to see how the business was doing here. In this way, even if we can't be reused in the capital, we will still have the opportunity to find other places to make a comeback in the future, right? ”
Qiu Yan listened to his somewhat dejected words, and couldn't help but pat him on the forehead, putting on a very unhappy look.
"How can you grow the anger of others to destroy your own prestige! Isn't our business also developing quite well these days? Why be so careful? ”
"I'm not careful, this is a precaution, who knows what those big officials in the capital will think of us, let's take one step at a time." Lu Chiye shook his head, a little unconfident.
However, Qiu Yan also knew in his heart that what he said made sense.
Although they have just received the reward from the imperial court, that place is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and they are a small imperial businessman, which is estimated to be not enough in the eyes of others.
It is better to be cautious, so I agreed to Lu Chiye's approach.
In the process of traveling to nearby towns, the two also received a lot of letters from Shen Fengxing.
He went out to study before, and he really learned a lot.
In the letter, I also mentioned to the two that if the scale of their express delivery wants to continue to expand, they will have to consider other markets.
Now, it is the two gangs that manage the markets on both sides of the canal.
After reading it, both husband and wife were a little worried.
So, while resting at an inn in the middle of the journey, he discussed it with Ji Feifan by the way.
"These two gangs were evenly divided before."
But in the past two years, one of them, the Tang family, has suddenly risen. Maybe we can consider working with them. Lu Chiye introduced.
Ji Feifan had been listening quietly beside him, without saying a word.
Qiu Yan glanced at her a little strangely, and after continuously mentioning some of her own opinions, she found that she still didn't say a word, and she couldn't help it, so she gently patted her on the arm.
Ji Feifan seemed to be taken aback, raised her head suddenly, Qiu Yan and her eyes widened, and she couldn't help asking.
"What's wrong with you, is there something on your mind? Just now, my husband and I were asking your opinion, why didn't you speak? ”
"Ah...... This, ma'am, I ...... I don't know much about these things, and I haven't been in contact with any Cao Gang before, so I don't understand, so I didn't speak, I'm really sorry. ”
Ji Feifan lowered his head embarrassedly in front of Qiu Yan, but he always looked preoccupied.
Lu Chiye probably knew what she was thinking, so he shook his head lightly at Qiu Yan and took the initiative to say.
"Maybe you're tired from following us all the way, so let's go upstairs to rest first, and we have to hurry tomorrow."
Hearing Lu Chiye's words, Ji Feifan suddenly felt like he had been pardoned, glanced at him gratefully, and quickly ran upstairs.
Looking at the back of her leaving, Qiu Yan shook her head.
"Sure enough, when this kid is older, his mind is deep, and he is not happy to talk to me now."
"Who's to say it isn't? Now, she doesn't dare to intercede with us because of Ji Zhai's affairs, and it is estimated that it is normal to be estranged from the two of us. ”
"Okay, don't worry about it so much, we haven't been in contact with the Cao Gang or anything like that before, although there is a letter sent to us by Fengxing, but what it says above is not very specific."
"Why don't we go to the Tang family to do some research and get to know it carefully?" Lu Chiye looked at her with a smile.
"That's what I think too, isn't this a good idea?" As soon as Qiu Yan heard his words, he immediately smiled and bent his eyes.
Lu Chiye gently scratched her nose, his eyes full of pampering.
"What you say is what, that lady, let's go up and rest, and go to the Tang family's territory tomorrow by the way."
Qiu Yan agreed, grabbed his sleeve, and walked upstairs.
On the second day, when the two woke up, they changed into extremely simple clothes, pretended to be ordinary guests, and walked towards the Tang family's territory.
However, after going to the shop with the Tang family's seal on the plaque for many days, the faces of the couple became more and more solemn.
When he found a quieter inn to sit and planned to fill the temple of the five internal organs first, Qiu Yan said to Lu Chiye while stuffing food into his mouth.
"Husband, do you think this Tang family's way of doing business is quite familiar?"
"I also heard a guy from a shop say that they have a promotion and discount event recently, and they also held Double 11 last year!"
"In this era, where is there any Singles' Day, and there is a derivative shopping carnival, which is really quite unscientific!"
"Yes, we must pay attention to this series of abnormal actions, and I even doubt that there are people who have crossed over in the Tang family."
Hearing what he said, Qiu Yan's action of stuffing food into his mouth paused.
Why didn't she think of this possibility before?
