Qin Minyan was born well. Although the family background is not as good as Qi Yuanhao's, the Qin family is also a big family in the south of the Yangtze River. She grew up in a golden and precious place, so she really doesn't care about money.

However, although she grew up with an education of three obediences and four virtues, she has other women to her husband. Although Qin Minyan is not obvious on her face, she still has a lot of criticism in her heart.

When the couple just got married, the entire Qi family had only Qin Minyan as the mistress, so she also treated Qi Yuanhao as her husband at that time, but later with the second wife The third wife entered the house, and Qin Minyan's heart slowly became cold.

If an outsider knows Qin Minyan’s thoughts, I am afraid that she will think she is hypocritical. After all, in the eyes of others, there are only two concubines in Qi Yuanhao’s back house. In comparison, Qi Yuanhao’s back house is already clean, and his rules are big. The two aunts and wives are not much favored, but in front of her big lady, they always have to bow their heads, no matter what they are behind. How, at least on the bright side, they still respect her very much.

But Qin Minyan didn’t think so. Her thoughts might be a bit deviant, but she didn’t think there was anything wrong with her. When the two got married, Qi Yuanhao promised her a lifetime. A pair of people said that there would be no other women in the yard except her. As a result, after two years, he had forgotten the original vows.

Obviously it’s already the Republic of China, and it’s said to liberate women and promote women’s status. In the end, women can only be men’s vassals. Even men can’t refuse to accept concubines. It’s still high. The little concubine who happily takes care of the man and the child born to the little concubine...Qin Minyan feels suffocated just thinking about it.

Since then, Qin Minyan has rested on her emotions and worked hard to be a qualified wife of Qi's family. But this way, Qi Yuanhao was very satisfied with Qi Yuanhao, who felt that she was a perfect helper in the house. .

"Minmin, do you think other than these things, I can't come to your room to look for you?"

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

Clearly he is in his early forties, but Qin Minyan's hands are still like a little girl, delicate and smooth, Qi Yuanhao feels a little afraid to use force when he touches it, for fear of being in the palm of his hand. The cocoon then pierced the other's tender skin.

Qin Minyan smiled and said half-truth: "That's not true. Today is not the fifteenth day of the new year. The master is either in the third concubine’s room or the second concubine’s room. It's just because the two of them are arguing that they don't have enough money, the master will think about coming over to find me."

Qi Yuanhao was inexplicably guilty when he heard the words, he couldn't help but coughed, and then changed the subject: "Minmin, I'm really here to see you not for these things, but for business. Looking for you, listen to me."

After considering the language, he said his intention: "This is how things are, Minmin, don’t worry, I don’t want these factories. I just want to check the accounts and listen to the truth. The accounts of these factories are a bit wrong. I know you are not good at these, so I want to help you."

When Qi Yuanhao said that he wanted to take back the factory in his hands, Qin Minyan almost exploded. She thought Qi Yuanhao wanted to give the property to Qi Yanna kid. When it happened, I heard Qi Yuanhao say that it was Qi Wang. There was a problem with these accounts, so I asked him to check it out.

Qin Minyan suppressed the anger that just came out, with a decent smile on her face: "The feelings are good, you know, my lord, I am the most impatient to look at these account books, as usual. How much did the shopkeepers report? It would be great if you could come and help me. Don't leave it to me after 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 about these things. It is a person who wants to do big things. Don't bother him with these little things."

The long-gun that Qi Wang designed is very good. He is obviously very talented in weapon design. If this is the case, then he should spend all his energy on it, or don’t take those The trivial matters have come to trouble him.

Seeing Qi Yuanhao’s objection, Qin Minyan didn’t go on to annoy him. After thinking about it, she continued: "By the way, sir, Awang is 20 to 5 this year, he When it’s time to get married at this age, I'm thinking about hosting a banquet to invite all the famous ladies in Jinling City. Let's choose from them. What do you think?"

Qi Yuanhao nodded and said: "It's fine if you decide, but you still need to discuss this matter with the truth and see what he thinks."

At this point, Qi Yuanhao is still very open-minded. Anyway, he has three sons, one does not get married and the other gets married. There is no shortage of grandchildren for him. This daughter-in-law should still like it. , Otherwise I am afraid it will be uncomfortable to get along with each other in the future.

Qin Minyan also knew Qi Yuanhao's temperament, so she just notified Qi Yuanhao to let him know about it.

It was late at night. Since Qi Yuanhao came over, he didn't plan to leave. Qin Minyan didn't dislike Qi Yuanhao at this time. After the other party washed, the two soon fell asleep.

The name Lixiaoge sounds very elegant, but it is a famous smokehouse nearby. Like other smokehouses, it is hidden deep in the alley. In the alley, if no one leads the way, there is really no way to find the right path from the road that is as dense as a cobweb.

At this moment, the dark brown door from Xiaoge opened from the inside as soon as the sky was getting light, and a man with bones was thrown out from the inside by two men in shorts. .

"Bah, if you don’t have any money, I want to come here to enjoy it, and I don’t even ask what place it is. Is it a place where you can be presumptuous?"

The middle-aged man who was thrown on the ground didn't care about the pain on his body, and got up to the ground to hold the thug of the thug. However, watching his tearful look, the thug was disgusting. , Raised his foot and kicked, the man rolled down the steps again gruntly.

"Don’t be awkward with me, come home and get the money. If you have money, you can be an uncle. If you don’t have money, you can get me as far away as you can. ."

After that, the two thugs spit at the middle-aged man on the ground, and ignoring his pleading, they just turned and left.

The middle-aged man got a kick in his chest, and his whole body was pumped in pain, but when he saw the two thugs were about to close the door, he immediately let out another wailing. The belt crawls and wants to jump over.

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

However, the most indispensable thing in the big smoking hall is people like him. Those who can enter the big smoking hall with money will naturally be regarded as guests, holding a pipe to spit out the clouds and fog. , Live like a fairy.

But all this is based on the situation where the guest has money. Once the guest has no money, he will immediately be swept out by the thugs here like trash.

The most important thing in the smokehouse is the guests. This year, a lot of people come to this smokehouse with money for entertainment. There are many poor people, but there are also many rich people, and there is no money. Now, sell houses and land, sell children and sell daughters and wives, squeeze all the money that can be squeezed out, and then be thrown out like rags.

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

These people are eager for the big smoke. They lie in the smokehouse, swallowing clouds, drunk and dreaming, and just care about their happiness. Where else will they take care of other things?

When these people step into the smokehouse with one foot, 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 Completely reduced to a slave to the smoke, completely lost himself.

It is worth mentioning that not all these big smoke halls are in the hands of foreigners, and many of them are the properties of those family members. Don’t they know the harm of these big smokers?

This is not the case, but anyone who has studied for two years and has recognized some characters will know the cigarettes sold in Humen, the harm caused by the big smoke, and the foreigners who stepped on wolves, tigers and leopards. Relying on the smoke, how much wealth has been plundered in China, and how many people have been killed.

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

Big smoking is highly addictive. It is almost an addiction. It takes great perseverance and perseverance to quit. Few people can quit on their own, even if they quit. The possibility of recurrence is also very high.

Furthermore, the smoke will destroy people’s mind and body. At first, it will make people feel excited and happy as never before, but these are all the things that people feel now under the premise that the body is destroyed. Excitement and happiness are all in exchange for overdrawing the human body's potential in the next few years or even decades.

Simply put, as long as the person is exposed to heavy smoke, this person will basically be ruined, but it is not the person who smokes that it is destroyed by the smoke. There are countless people behind him. Those people are his relatives and children. When smokers are desperate and unable to get the money to exchange for the smoke, they will destroy humanity and extend the evil claws to their closest relatives. .

The middle-aged man finally climbed to the door of Li Xiaoge, but the door had already been closed, no matter how he beat and distressed, the door would not be opened to him unless he was rich again That day, those people inside would invite him in as if they were treating an uncle.

"No, no money, no, I want money, I still have money, I still have money..."

He was dragged out by half of the baby. After the addiction came, he was a little unable to control himself, and his body curled up into a shrimp shape. In order to relieve the addiction inside, he unconsciously nibble He ate his fingers until the blood dripping with his ten fingers, he still didn't stop.

At this time, his mouth is full of blood, and he looks like crazy. Apart from the human appearance, where is there a little human? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a dying beast.

After that momentum weakened, he staggered to his feet and walked in the direction of his home.

He wants to go back to raise money, he wants to re-inhale the thing that makes him extremely happy, the smoke is his life, without this he will die...

"As long as I can take a sip, I am willing to do anything..."

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

Behind the high walls lined on both sides of this alley are people swallowing clouds and fog, they are lying on chaise longues soaked in smoke, enjoying this dreamlike fantasy. Life like a fairy.

Everything in the outside world has nothing to do with them, here they feel like the emperor, no, no, the emperor has not lived as happy as they are.

If they can, they are willing to indulge in this life for the rest of their lives.

Since the last time we separated from Zhang Xinrui in the cafe, it started to rain in Jinling. Qi Yutong didn’t like rain, so she stayed at home and didn’t go out. It finally cleared up, so she immediately made an appointment. Zhang Xinrui went out to go shopping.

When he went out, Qi Yutong met Qi Yuyi. The two had never dealt with each other and had to pinch each time they met.

"Sixth sister, why do you go out in such a beautiful dress? Could you have a sweetheart? Oh, I was wrong. Our sixth sister has a very high-sightedness. Waiting for idlers can not enter you. Eyes, so many men like our Sixth Sister, so don’t you have to choose a good one?"

Qi Yuyi still remembers that the last time Zhang Dekang approached herself was to extract Qi Yutong's information, so even after such a long time had passed, she still couldn't help but stabbing a few words after seeing Qi Yutong.

Qi Yutong blinked, as if she hadn’t heard the insinuation in Qi Yuyi’s words, she obediently called the fifth sister, and then followed Qi Yuyi’s words and said: "The fifth sister is right. I didn’t notice these things in the past. I will pay attention to them in the future. Thank you for your reminder."

Qi Yuyi's eyes widened, she looked at Qi Yutong like a ghost, as if she didn't know her—is this still the Qi Yutong who has to fight with her a few times when everything is fine? Could it be that he bumped his head and made everyone stupid?

Of course, Qi Yutong knows what Qi Yuyi is thinking about now, but she doesn’t care. In the past, she thought she was the Qi’s Zhengpai, but she was spoiled by her mother and brother. She was born as a serious lady. The concubines who came out naturally felt superior to the concubines born to the concubines.

So as long as the other person finds fault, she will immediately fight back, like a little lion with 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, even if she was born to a concubine or a concubine, she is also the daughter of the marshal, so what is she worth?

While Qi Yuyi was so shocked by her to speak, Qi Yutong nodded towards the other party and said: "Fifth sister, I will remember everything you said, but I still If I have something, I won’t talk to you for now, I'll talk about it later when I meet."

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

Qi Yuyi stared blankly at Qi Yutong's leaving back, and it took him a long time to relax.

There must be a conspiracy in this, this dead girl used to be arrogant and powerful, and because she came out of the belly of the big lady, she didn’t put her in her eyes at all, and she suddenly turned around today. Sex, there must be a conspiracy!

Qi Yuyi was indignant, thinking and thinking, and finally decided to follow up and see what was going on.

She didn't believe it anymore. No matter how a person's temperament changes, it will not be exactly like a different person. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. She has to guard against it.

"Xinrui, I am here!"

Qi Yutong arrived earlier than Zhang Xinrui, and the two met in a clothing store. The clothes sold here are all foreign dresses, exquisite and beautiful. Qi Yutong is a frequent visitor here, but Zhang Xinrui But I haven't consumed it here for no other reason. It's just that the clothes here are too expensive and can't be consumed under Zhang Xinrui's terms.

"Tongtong, how did you set the date here this time? Didn't you say that you are going to watch a movie today?"

Zhang Xinrui changed into a light blue plain cheongsam today. Her hair was slightly perm, and her hair ends with some curly curves. It looks a bit more playful and smart than before. color.

After Qi Yutong saw each other, a big smile appeared on her face immediately. She walked quickly to Zhang Xinrui's and took her to the shelf where the clothes were placed.

"Xinrui, I remember it will be your birthday soon, and I have nothing to give you. It just so happens that this store has a new batch of dresses, I see these are very suitable for you , It’s better for you to put it on and have a look. If you like it, I’ll give it to you."

Zhang Xinrui immediately shook her head when she heard the words, and refused again and again: "No, no, these clothes are too expensive. You have already given me a lot of things in the past. I can't accept you anymore. Something."

The family background of the two are not equal. Qi Yutong has always been generous, and the gifts given to her are of high value. Although Zhang Xinrui often returns gifts, what I have to admit is the value of her return gifts. It's far inferior to what Qi Yutong gave.

Friends also pay attention to balance. If the balance is lost, the friendship will naturally deteriorate.

"Xinrui, don't refuse me. This time it is a birthday present for you. It's different, and it's just as the last time I gave you apologize."

When Qi Yutong mentioned the last time, Zhang Xinrui's expression was a little uncomfortable. She was silent for a while, and then raised a smile again, and said softly, "It's okay. Son, I know you are kind, I don't care."

It is reasonable for Qi Wang to look down on herself. Although Zhang Xinrui had some unrealistic dreams before, she also knew that the two of them were people on two roads after all. It's normal not to go together.

Qi Yutong is kind, and she also actively matched the two of them. Although the way may be a little wrong, Zhang Xinrui will not blame her for this.

In the end, she still failed to screw Qi Yutong, so she had no choice but to choose the cheapest dress.

"I just want this."

When the two came out of the clothing store, two figures came out from the opposite clothing store. One of them saw Qi Yutong, his eyes lit up instantly.
