Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 218 Phoenix Tail

When Qin Yajun returned from the Zhuangyuan Building, she still couldn't hide her excitement. Lin Zisu's idea made her find another way out.

She even had a lot of thought in her heart. Nalan Rongruo's lyrics must not be good at such a big scene as Zhongqiu Poetry Meeting. She had to choose a famous poem for all ages.

Should I use "Jingjinjiu"? Or should I use "Water Dial" more appropriately?

The maid with her was Shuying, who was Qin Yajun's personal maid in Shannan. This time, she went to the capital with the Qin family. After staying with Qin Yajun for a long time, she usually talked casually.

She saw her lady with a happy look on her face and smiled: "It's rare to see her lady so happy, but what good thing has she heard of?"

Qin Yajun was in a very good mood. When Shuying asked, she also smiled and said, "Shuying, Master called you over yesterday. Did you talk about choosing a concubine?"

Shuying nodded and said seriously: "The master said that choosing a concubine this time is related to our family's future. Let me persuade you."

"Okay, then you can just persuade me. If I become a country in the future, I will definitely bring you to you."

The two of them were talking and laughing in the carriage, and soon they returned to the Qin Mansion.

The Qin family has the status of a businessman, and is very low-key in the capital. The house they live in is not big, so they can barely live in for the whole family.

As soon as Qin Yajun returned, she was called by her father Qin Yuanliang.

Qin Yajun said, stood up and said firmly: "You are a concubine or something. My daughter is not interested in it. If you want to be a daughter, you must be a concubine!"

When he arrived at Beijing, he met Qian Minzhong. Qin Yuanliang realized that the prince was about to choose a concubine. Qian Minzhong went around a long way and understood the meaning of the words. He hoped that there would be girls of the right age in the Qin family to sign up for the election.

However, Qian Minzhong's meaning was not easy to disobey, and Qin Yuanliang wanted to discuss it with his daughter. After hearing that Qin Yajun was not good at speaking, he immediately changed his words.

Qin Yuanliang sighed and said, "I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. Why don't I know this truth for my father? But Lord Qian has to give an explanation for my father."

"Father, you don't have to worry. You will eventually let your explanations from Lord Qian."

Beidi broke through Jinlan Pass without any warning and plundered Luyuan. Those businesses doing business in the northern border suffered heavy losses.

Even if the Qin family is a merchant, after more than a hundred years of operation, it is no longer the Qin family that was trampled by others back then.

Qin Yajun seemed not to see the expression on his father's face and said lightly: "As our merchant, I will be allowed to participate in the Ministry of Rites election. At most, I will be a concubine. Father, you should bear it and let your daughter be a concubine and be pressed on your head for the rest of your life?"

Until the end of April, the attitude of the Qian family had a significant change. Not only did they invite the juniors of the Qin family to visit the Qian family, Qian Minzhong also personally sent a letter to Qin Yuanliang and asked him to go to Beijing to talk.

Qin Yuanliang didn't care at first, and he also had an industry in the capital, so he would not let his daughter suffer grievances.

When Qin Yuanliang saw Qin Yajun, he immediately smiled and said, "Good daughter, where did you go shopping today?"

Qin Yuanliang even thought about recruiting a son-in-law for Qin Yajun and leaving this daughter in the Qin family. In that case, the Qin family's business would definitely be further improved.

"Did my father agree?"

Although it was not the first time I heard my daughter say this, Qin Yuanliang opened his mouth wide in shock and allowed Qin Yajun to step away.

However, the Qian family did not have much interest in getting married, and they have always been lukewarm about Qin Yuanliang.

Qin Yuanliang had a headache now. In his opinion, Qin Yajun's appearance and talent meet the requirements of choosing a concubine, but his daughter disagreed, so he couldn't force it.

"Go to the Zhuangyuan Building to meet a friend."

Qin Yuanliang said it was quite helpless. His daughter suddenly changed her temperament since she fell seriously ill last year.

In the past few months, he has received a message from the Qian family, and the Luo family, which has always had hatred with him, is about to collapse. He has been paying attention to the Luo family's movements and throwing this daughter aside.

Qin Yuanliang tasted the sweetness. Whenever there was a big business event, he would ask his daughter about her opinions and also made a lot of profits.

Nowadays, there are only two girls of the Qin family of age, one of which is Qin Yajun.

Qin Yajun first gave him a suggestion and added a small part to the loom of the Qin Family Workshop. Half a month later, the efficiency of weaving in the Qin Family Workshop increased by 30%.

Qin Yuanliang coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Qian sent someone to pass the message today, asking you to participate in this year's selection of concubines."

Qin Yajun, who was originally obedient and gentle, suddenly became willful. After the Chinese New Year, he not only got in touch with a county magistrate named Lin Wuyan in Chucheng, but also insisted on following others to visit the capital.

Qin Yuanliang is reluctant to give up such a daughter, so he naturally does not want to go against her intentions, and he does not want her to marry the prince.

Qin Yuanliang's always wish is to become a relative of the Qian family so that he can be better tied together.

Once you have money, your status will naturally rise.

Qin Yajun said, found a chair and sat down, and then a maid brought tea to her.

Qin Yajun took a sip and said casually: "My father is so anxious to find his daughter, don't know what's important?"

Less than a month later, war broke out in the northern border.

Later, Qin Yajun suggested that the Qin family stop the cloth transported to the northern border. At that time, Qin Yuanliang didn't know what was going on, but just withdrew the transaction in the northern border as he said.

Moreover, with the care of the rich family, the Qin family's children do not need to come forward to make friends with scholars.

It was not until he received a letter from Beijing that he heard that Qin Yajun appeared in the capital all day long and hanged with a group of literati and poets.

"Without the consent of your good daughter, how could I dare to agree?"

When Qin Yuanliang and his daughter mentioned this, Qin Yajun immediately refused, claiming that unless she was chosen as the official concubine, she would never participate in the ceremony of choosing a concubine.

"Good daughter, you know that Lord Qian has always taken good care of our family. This time he mentioned it, and it is not easy to refuse it for his father."

Qin Yajun then suggested that Qin Yuanliang support a commercial bank to go overseas for trade, and a month later, he gained a lot of benefits.

The Qin family is not much different from those things used by high-ranking officials and nobles.

The most important thing is that since this year, Qin Yajun has given him several suggestions, which have made him a lot of money.

Qin Yajun walked to the door, suddenly remembered something, and turned around and said, "By the way, my father, our business to Guanzhong has been withdrawn. I'm afraid I can't do business there."

"What do you know...?

Qin Yuanliang knew that in the past few months, his daughter had met many noble officials in Beijing. Maybe she heard some rumor and asked: "The people over there have been back. Is there something big... there is something to do in Guanzhong?"

Qin Yajun looked in the direction of Guanzhong and said slowly: "Maybe, I hope nothing is wrong."
