Chapter 28
Qi Si just returned to the Qi family compound yesterday.First took the train to Zhuhai County, and then took a car from Zhuhai County back to the Qijia compound.The car was specially dispatched by the magistrate of Zhuhai County, accompanied by Liu Dazi.
When Qi Si and Liu Dazi got off the car, Master Qi was already waiting at the gate of the compound.When he saw Qi Si, he grinned, and the layers of folds were pushed on his face, which was disgusting compared to the dry old bark.After all, the old tree bark is ugly. You can turn your face away, but Master Qi can't.
Master Qi didn't even look at Liu Dazi, but asked Qi Si: "Where's Yi Shan? Why hasn't he come back?"
Qi Si said, "He's busy, so he can't come back."
Master Qi took half of his smile and went back, and then said to Liu Mazi: "Captain Liu, it's rare to come, come in and have a seat." Then, like a master, he walked towards the yard with his hands behind his back.
Liu Mazi didn't know the bottom line about what happened in the Qi family compound, but at least he knew everything about it.Now Qi Si is in charge of the Qi family compound, and Qi Yishan has become an officer again, so Master Qi can only stand aside in the compound now.Therefore, Liu Mazi didn't bother to talk to him, and just said to Qi Si: "Si, I won't go in. I will try to bring you over at noon tomorrow."
Qi Si nodded, motioned for Liu Dazi to get in the car, turned around and went into the courtyard.
Lao Li followed behind him, and whispered to him: "Si Ye, after you and Qi Yishan left last time, the master lost his temper for a while when he came back, and scolded you and Qi Yishan. I'm not in a good mood, why don't you go back to your yard first, take a bath and rest?"
Qi kept walking up the house on all fours, saying: "What should come will always come." Saying this, he opened the curtain and prepared to enter the house.
With a sound of "Boom!", a porcelain bowl unexpectedly fell under his feet, shattered and blossomed, water was scattered all over the ground, and Qi Si's hem was also splashed with water.
"You still know how to come back?" Master Qi was sitting on the kang, smoking a cigarette leisurely, with an indistinguishable expression on his face.But it was undoubtedly a big breath of anger, "I thought you two brothers thought I was dead."
Qi Si stood still, waiting for Lao Li to clean up the debris on the ground with his hands and feet, and then stepped on the leather shoes and entered the house on the kang.Madoka has received the message and is here to serve.Qi Si asked her to make a pot of tea.
When they were in Harbin, the foreign elites were very interested in Qisi's habit of making a pot of tea every time he discussed business matters.Because other Chinese people he has contacted prefer to drink at this time.But after all, this is someone else's hobby. He has stayed abroad for a long time, so he naturally understands what is personal privacy, so he didn't ask too much.
Master Qi smoked a bit fiercely, and it didn't take long for the kang to be filled with smoke.Qi Si's face was hidden in the wisps of light smoke, but it was somewhat elusive.
"At the beginning of spring, I asked someone to shovel [-] mu of corn and plant it as opium. Tomorrow is over, and I think the big fireworks should be in full bloom. I contacted several opium harvesters during the year. Tomorrow I’ll come to check it out. If I’m satisfied, I can change hands as soon as the flowers thank you next month.”
Qi Si seemed to think that Master Qi was not there, and continued on his own: "But it's not a big deal. Qi Yishan led me, and I will open a factory in Zhuhai County during the autumn harvest."
Master Qi was startled, sat up straight with his half-recumbent body, and asked, "Do you want to set up a factory in Zhuhai County?" It is now the 17th year of the Republic of China. From the end of the Qing Dynasty to the present, there have been bursts of industrial booms all over China.But the people involved are either officials or elites who have studied abroad, or the capitalists in those coastal cities. When will it be the turn of a landowner?Master Qi has been domineering in Yuanmaotun for most of his life, except for the hundreds of lands, there is only one gambling house that can be sold.But setting up a factory and doing business is something I dare not even think about.Now that Qi Si said it so lightly, Master Qi was really surprised and happy to hear it.What surprised me was Qi Si's courage, and what made me happy was that Qi Si was of Qi Biao's kind. It's so embarrassing to say it!
With only half a pack of cigarettes, Mr. Qi can already imagine walking around Yuanmaotun or even Haizhu County with Qisi's factory and Qiyishan's name.So what if the son is not filial?Just be patient.If he couldn't get good from his own son, how could he get it back twice as much from others?
Master Qi was puffing on his cigarette, smiling so beautifully.Qi Si didn't bother to look at Master Qi's face, so he left straight away after speaking.
When Qi Si went back to his yard, he didn't expect that Sun Meiniang had already led Lu Fengniang to wait in the house.The mother and son exchanged pleasantries again.When Lu Fengniang left in the first lunar month of Qisi, she was pregnant for one month, and now three months have passed, although the belly has not yet appeared, but because of the child support, the whole person is much rounder.
Qi Si got on the kang, and Xiao Yuan came in with tea.Without thinking, Lu Fengniang greeted her, took the tea and handed it to Qi Si.
"Father."
Qi Si took the teacup, glanced at Lu Fengniang, and said, "Now that you have a body, you don't need to do such chores."
Lu Fengniang blushed a little when she was told, she bowed her head and said hello, still standing by the side to serve.Qi Si looked around, but couldn't find his daughter, so he asked, "Where's Jialin?"
Lu Fengniang said: "Last month, her grandma sent a letter saying that she missed her, so she took it and stayed for a few days."
Qi Si nodded, he came back in a hurry this time, and didn't go to Lu's Medicine Hall for a while, so he didn't know about it.
Sun Meiniang said with a smile: "Feng Niang has been craving sour food lately, I look at 'sour man and hot woman', this baby must be a boy!"
When Qi Si heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to Xiaotuan: "Grandma Si is pregnant, don't stand for too long, you can help her go down to rest first."
Lu Fengniang looked at Qi Si and hesitated to speak, Xiao Tuan at the side saw that she couldn't speak, so she boldly asked for her: "Fourth Master, Fourth Grandma would like to ask if you will go back to your room to rest at night?"
Qi Si paused while holding the teacup, and before he could say anything, Sun Meiniang said, "Little Bie Sheng is newlywed, of course Fourth Master will go back to his room to rest at night, so why not sleep in the study?"
Qi Si took a sip of tea and said to Lu Fengniang: "I have something to do tomorrow morning. I'll sleep in the study tonight. I'll go to your room some other day." house.
Sun Meiniang was a little dissatisfied, and said: "I have been out for more than three months, why is there something wrong this time? I am not talking about you, the pregnancy in your house has been several months, and you don't know how to ask more, even one night. I don’t even want to go back to rest, is this like being a shopkeeper?”
Here we go again, Qi Sixin said.His mother has been living more and more in the past few years, worrying about these trivial matters every day.Did she forget that his son had no interest in women in the first place?Now that she has had one more child according to her wish, how about Dulu?
Qi Si's voice became cold, "Mother, you can talk about this matter today, if you bring it up again tomorrow, you will treat me as my son."
Sun Meiniang was obviously choked, unable to say a word for a long while.She was also winking, seeing that Qi Si was really angry, she quickly changed the subject and asked about Qi Si's situation in Harbin.
Qi Si briefly talked about his plans for the future, and finally said: "Qi Yishan is now in power, and I see that he will not return to the Qi family compound. Anyway, he helped me a lot this time. In the future, he will If you come back, you must treat him well, and take care of Qi Yishui even more."
Sun Meiniang had spent most of her life in the compound, so she didn't know much about the outside world, but she was well aware of Qi Si's abilities, and when it came to business, she always kept her son's instructions in mind, and she was careful in her words and deeds.This is also the reason why Qi Si is still willing to be filial to her in his heart even though Sun Meiniang has been nagging about Qi Si's room affairs all these years.
Seeing that Qi Si was tired, Sun Meiniang wanted to take a step to let him rest.
Qi Si originally wanted to ask what happened to the Qi family compound in the past few months, but he was a little tired after riding for a long time, and thinking that he would have to deal with a large group of people tomorrow, so he had to take the family Delay things later.After tidying up for a while, I went to the kang to rest.
