Chapter 990 Thirty Years of War (1/2)
Qi Wang: "..."
Qin Minyan had already mentioned this matter just now. Qi Wang thought that he had escaped a disaster, but he did not expect that Qin Minyan would chase him into his yard and continue to urge the marriage.
He looked at Qin Minyan helplessly and said, "Mother, did you come here specifically to tell me this?"
Qin Minyan nodded and said seriously: "Of course it is like this, otherwise what do you think?"
Qi Wang: "..."
Not to mention that Qi Wang had no intention of getting married in the first place. Even if he did, it would not be now. China is currently experiencing internal and external troubles. Although he is not capable enough, he still wants to do his meager part. Even if this is a parallel world, he still wants to do his best. I want to change something so that those tragedies will never happen again.
"Mother, I think we need to have a good talk about this matter. I have no plans to get married at the moment. After all, the country is not peaceful right now, and the major warlords are fighting. I..."
It's just that Qin Minyan has heard these truths many times in the past, but now she doesn't want to hear them. She only knows that her son is still unmarried at the age of twenty-five, and she wants him to have someone who knows both coldness and warmth to take care of him. Give him children and take care of the housework, so that he doesn't have any worries and can do what he wants to do.
"Awan, I don't want to force you, but what you said is not a reason. We all live in the same country. Who knows when the things you said will end? If it doesn't end, Will you never get married in your life?"
Speaking of this, Qin Minyan let out a long sigh, with a deep look of sadness on her face: "As you know, my health is not very good. I have been sick from time to time these days. I can't tell what. Once I lie down, I can never get up again. Can you bear to watch me die with your eyes open? "
Qi Wang: "Mother, don't say that..."
He didn't expect that Qin Minyan looked so gentle and gentle, and spoke so fiercely. He saw her crying and feeling miserable, as if if he didn't get married, she would crawl out of the grave even if she died. Similar.
Zhang Ma also helped: "Young Master, Madam only has you and Miss Six in this life. Her biggest wish is to see you all in peace, get married and have children, and live a life like ordinary people. Is this right?" Are you not even willing to fulfill her small wish?"
Qi Wang: "..."
The two masters and servants were both good at singing and singing. They sang and sang in harmony, trying their best to get Qi Wang to agree to the marriage.
Qi Wang had a feeling that if he agreed now, Qin Minyan would be able to find him a wife immediately.
"Mom, we can discuss this matter in the long run. I will be at home for a long time this time, so we can discuss it slowly later."
Although Qi Wang did not immediately say that he wanted to get married, his attitude was much softer than before. Qin Minyan immediately hit the snake and followed the stick, and said decisively: "Well, don't be in a hurry to get married, but you can see each other first, I have someone there There are some unmarried girls in the brochure. There are photos in the brochure. How about I show it to you first? "
Qi Wang: "..."
Can he say no?
Qin Minyan didn't give Qi Wang a chance to refuse. Seeing that his attitude was not as repulsive as before, she struck while the iron was hot and immediately asked Zhang Ma to go back and get the blind date booklet she had prepared.
She prepared two brochures like that, one with all the unmarried girls of the right age, and the other with all the unmarried young talents. However, Qi Yutong is still young, so she can relax a little in this regard, but Qi Wang is different. , he is already twenty-five years old, which is considered an older youth at this age. Fortunately, it is the Republic of China. In the past, it would have been difficult for Qi Wang to find a better girl even if his family background was good.
"Take a look first and see if there is anything that catches your eye. I have met all the girls in this booklet and know almost all of them. If you like them, I can give you a good introduction... …”
Qin Minyan was very enthusiastic, but Qi Wang couldn't arouse any interest. After a few perfunctory responses, she said that she had made an appointment with some friends and was going out now.
"Mother, you are introducing these people to me when I am free. Now I have very important things to do, so I will not be too busy reading them. I will leave first."
Before he finished speaking, Qi Wang had already strode away. Looking at his back, he seemed to have an inexplicable feeling of running away.
Qin Minyan didn't feel anything at all yet and was still looking through the booklet in her hand with interest. While Zhang Ma looked at Qi Wan's leaving figure, she always felt that there was something wrong with the eldest young master's attitude.
Why does it feel like the eldest young master is repelling things like marriage...
Are women more terrifying to the young master than wild beasts?
But if you don’t like women and don’t want to get married, does the young master want to be an old bachelor for the rest of his life?
Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Ma shuddered and suppressed all the inexplicable thoughts in her mind.
She'd better stop thinking nonsense. The eldest young master is young and vigorous. It's at the peak of his youth. How could he not want to get married? She must have lost her mind to have such a terrible idea that the eldest young master wants to be a bachelor for the rest of his life.
"Mother Zhang, come here and help me see if the third lady of the Finance Minister's family is a good match for Awan? She came back from studying abroad, drank foreign ink, has a very good appearance, and her temperament is not like those of others. The woman who has studied abroad is so arrogant, but also gentle and delicate. I think she is quite good and matches Awan very well. "
"And this, but her father's position is a bit low, but she has a very cheerful temperament and has a good relationship with our Tongtong. If she marries in, she won't worry about the sister-in-law issue. She will definitely treat Tongtong. Very well taken care of.”
Zhang Ma saw that Qin Minyan was still choosing suitable candidates with great interest, as if she didn't notice that Qi Wan was not interested in these at all. She didn't say anything more, but followed Qin Minyan's words.
"Madam, I think family background is not important. Our eldest young master is capable and is not the kind of person who needs support from his in-laws. If his family background is too high, the young lady he raises will be too squeamish, and our eldest young master is not good at coaxing others. , it would not be good if he died."
Qin Minyan nodded, feeling that what Zhang Ma said made sense: "But it won't work if the family background is too low. I don't expect Awan's in-law family to give him any help, but it can't hold him back. People from small families are always a bit petty. Yes, we Awang are people who do big things, and those from small families cannot afford to maintain their appearance."
The discussion between the master and the servant was in full swing. The two of them flipped through a thick stack of books for a long time, but they could not find a suitable candidate.
These girls are actually very good, but she always feels that something is missing when she is with Qi Wang. Qin Minyan feels that she is a very open-minded mother-in-law. She thought that all kinds of girls are good before, but after she really chooses them, she feels that everything is wrong. The problem is that it is either inappropriate in this aspect or inappropriate in that aspect.
Seeing that her wife seemed to be spoiled for choice, Zhang Ma thought for a while and gave Qin Minyan an idea: "Madam, how about we hold a banquet? It just so happens that the eldest young master comes back, and we can use it to take care of him. The famous people held a banquet and then sent out the posts. I think those ladies would know what was going on after receiving the posts. What's the point of just reading the brochures? It's better to see them face to face. Maybe our eldest young master can I caught one."
When Qin Minyan heard this, she immediately nodded and said: "Mother Zhang, please remind me that I had planned to hold a banquet before, but Awan interrupted me, so I forgot about it. Let's go back now to organize the banquet. "
****
Jinling City is very lively, with people coming and going on the street. Occasionally, cars pass through the street, and the car horns sound one after another, causing bursts of noise.
The lively and prosperous Jinling City was in sharp contrast to the devastation Qi Wang saw when he first entered this world. It felt as if he was in two different worlds.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that many people were hungry and fled in a hurry amid the war, dragging their skinny bodies.
"Sir, do you want a cigarette? I have a lot of good cigarettes here. I have everything you want..."
Just when Qi Wang was lost in thought, a slightly childish voice rang in his ears. Qi Wang looked down and found that standing in front of him was a little boy who looked to be eleven or twelve years old.
He carried a large wooden box on his body, which was filled with various cigarettes. The little boy looked at Qi Wan with a pair of black and white eyes, with a strong look of flattery on his face.
In modern times, little boys of his age are still in school. Eleven or twelve years old is a carefree age, but he has to run for life.
However, this little boy with a big head and small body due to malnutrition and wearing patched clothes was luckier than most ordinary people of this era.
Qi Wan took out a piece of ocean and handed it to the little boy, then took a fairy brand cigarette from the wooden box.
"I bought this."
The little boy didn't expect that the man he had the courage to stop turned out to be a wealthy man. How could these Fairy brand cigarettes cost so much money? If they save a little money, they can spend it on their family for a month.
"Sir, you are such a good man..."
The little boy was a clever talker. After getting the money, he carefully put it in a hidden pocket of his clothes and said the nice words as if he didn't need any money.
Qi Wan waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be like this, I still have something to do..."
Before he finished speaking, the little boy already understood what Qi Wang meant. He immediately nodded and bowed to say goodbye, and then trotted off in the other direction.
Qi Wang watched the little boy go away until he was no longer visible, then he looked away.
"Oh, we haven't seen each other for such a long time. Our young master Qi has become so generous and easy to deceive. A little liar who sells fake cigarettes can get money from you and make a lot of money. He is making a lot of money today. The basin is full.”
A slightly frivolous voice came from behind Qi Huan. After hearing the voice, Qi Huan looked back and saw a man in a black suit standing not far away looking at him.
When he noticed that Qi Huan turned around, the man raised his eyebrows and whistled at Qi Huan: "Young Master Qi, I haven't seen you for a long time, but your whereabouts are becoming more and more obvious. I wonder if I am lucky enough to follow you. Would you like to have a drink together?”
The man's appearance was outstanding, and his upturned peach blossom eyes were full of amorous feelings. When he deliberately put on a seductive look, he brought out some charm.
Qi Wang looked at the other party expressionlessly, and said coldly: "It's not necessary to have a drink together. If you are willing, I can let you taste the smell of gunpowder smoke from my latest gun."
After hearing Qi Wang's words, the young man immediately raised his hands and looked like he was surrendering.
"Young Master Qi, we are friends who grew up together. We are so good that we only wear a pair of crotchless pants. Why are you so unreasonable? I'm just kidding you."
Qi Wang looked at the other party and said, "I'm joking with you too."
The man with peach blossom eyes: "Haha."
If he believed it, don't think he didn't see Qi Wang's action of taking out the gun just now. If he hadn't given in quickly, Song Mingze would have no doubt that the other party would have shot him like that.
"Okay, I'm not kidding you anymore. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Do you want to go have a drink with me? I'll treat you."
Qi Wang looked Song Mingze up and down until the hair on his body stood up, then nodded and said, "Okay."
Song Mingze: "..."
I'm obviously here to treat him to a meal, but why does he feel like he's escorting a prisoner to the execution ground?
However, after only a few months of not seeing each other, this guy's aura has become more and more amazing. When you get along with him, you feel like you are getting along with your own father again.
Song Mingze shook his head to get rid of that ridiculous idea. In order to prevent himself from continuing to think wildly, he took a step forward and wanted to put his arm around Qi Wang's shoulders.
However, Qi Huan turned his head and looked at Song Mingze expressionlessly. His hand that was originally going to fall on Qi Huan's shoulder froze there and could no longer let go.
Song Mingze: "..."
He really didn't mean anything else, he just wanted to hook up with someone, so was it necessary to look at him like this?
"Well, my hands are sore and I want to move..."
Making a terrible excuse, Song Mingze silently took his hand back, and then he distanced himself from Qi Huan. There was a gap between the two of them, and they walked towards each other not far away. Walk to the coffee shop.
"Really, we haven't seen each other for only four months. You don't have to treat me like this, right? Even if I just went too far in joking for you, don't you still want to invite me to shoot you? Let's make it even. Yes, can you show me a smile?"
"Oh, I'm not talking about you. You can be considered the second most beautiful man in Jinling City. Your face is just a little bit worse than mine. You always have a straight face, which really ruins your beauty."
"Let me tell you, your bad luck with women is all because of your face. If you were like me, you would have had a lot of women come to your door. How could you still be single at the age of twenty-five? You If you continue like this, you will become an old bachelor in a few years, and then don’t say you know me..."
Song Mingze was frightened at first, but then he recovered. On the way to the coffee shop, he kept talking non-stop, as if he was at a disadvantage even if he stopped talking.
Qi Wang: "..."
I originally thought I had escaped from Qin Minyan's clutches, but I didn't expect to meet such a long-winded person like Song Mingze after I came out.
"If you continue to talk, then I won't accompany you."
Qi Huan expressed his desire to be quiet. Song Mingze looked at Qi Huan with some grievance and said angrily: "Young Master Qi, are you too cold and ruthless to me? We haven't seen our friends for many days. I think Why don’t I have a good chat with you..."
"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I won't say anything anymore. Come back!"
Seeing that Qi Huan was really about to leave without looking back, Song Mingze hurriedly reached out and took Qi Huan's arm, and repeatedly promised that he would not continue to be verbose before Qi Huan turned around again.
This coffee shop is located on the corner of the street. The environment inside is very good and it looks quite clean. After Song Mingze took Qi Wan in, he took him to the private room on the second floor with familiarity.
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. I just said that we were on the street just now. Didn't you really see that that little bastard was a liar?"
Hearing this, Qi Wang raised his head and looked at Song Mingze, who was sitting opposite.
Seeing him like this, the other party's eyes narrowed slightly. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he patted his thigh and said, "I know, you must have given him that piece of gold on purpose. You must know that it is not a piece of gold." It's a small amount. A little bastard like him will have no one on his side. He took your money and so many people saw it. He couldn't even swallow it. It seems that he was happy for nothing. Maybe It will also cause a big disaster..."
Song Mingze became more and more excited as he talked. After finishing his speculation, he looked at Qi Wan with burning eyes, waiting for his answer.
"Am I right? Is that what you planned?"
Qi Wang looked at Song Mingze expressionlessly: "You are thinking too much."
