Rebirth of the Noble Concubine

Chapter 257 257. Intermarriage

Unexpectedly, one wave after another broke out, and the little girl hurried in and said, "The old lady hanged herself."

"Mother!"

The fifth master of the Chi family immediately yelled and hurried to the backyard.

On the other hand, everyone sitting there, except Chi Zimo, was a little anxious.

"Master, why don't you just agree to Lao Wu's request? Anyway, he doesn't ask for much, and it's for the sake of the children. You and Ying Niang of the fifth house are also brothers and sisters, so why are you in such a stalemate?"

The person who spoke was an elder of the Chi family. He was an upright man and his speech was fair in normal times.

It's a pity that Chi Zimo didn't give him as much face as before and said with a cold snort.

"Not much? They want 30% of the shipping shares. This is not a lion's mouth. This is a fool's dream. As long as I live, I will never get involved in this shipping business!"

As he spoke, he laughed sarcastically.

"As for Mrs. Lan, if I hadn't cared about the reputation of the Chi family, I would have kicked her out a long time ago. Go ahead and tell her that she wants to die at the fifth uncle's house, not in the ancestral house. It's bad luck! Anyway, my grandfather is dead.

We had issued an ironclad order not to allow her to be buried in the Chi family's ancestral grave, so I have no control over whether she hangs herself wherever she likes."

The words were so cruel and vicious that if Mrs. Lan were present, she would probably cry endlessly again.

Several clan elders shook their heads silently, and they didn't know why the commotion had reached such a level.

If she hadn't cared about her care for the Chi family's business, Chi Zimo would have been living on the street now, which is what Chi Zimo would have done.

In the backyard, Mrs. Lan was rescued just after she was hoisted up.

The marks on his neck were not even obvious. When he saw Chi Wuye's family walking in, and then there was no one else around, he didn't even think about acting for a while.

"What do you mean, he still doesn't agree?"

"Mother, shipping is the Chi family's biggest profit. How could he agree to give it 30%? Didn't you know this from the beginning? You still insist on letting me make trouble. Look, it's still making trouble now.

, no one can control us."

Mrs. Lan glanced at her son and said impatiently.

"Your brain is so stupid. If you didn't live up to your expectations, would the Chi family be controlled by that kid?"

Chigoro was scolded so hard by her that he didn't dare to reply.

The fifth lady next to her also lowered her head. Her mother-in-law was much more powerful than she was. If she was trying to be mean in front of her, it would be better to forget about it. It would be better to just be humble.

"Of course he won't agree to your request, but wouldn't it be better if you take the opportunity to do the next best thing and let Youer join the shipping company to do some errands?"

Chi Lingyou is the most outstanding son of the fifth family of the Chi family. Although he is only about sixteen years old, he is very smart and alert.

The future of the fifth house, or her future comfort, I'm afraid, all depends on this grandson.

Therefore, Mrs. Lan put all her treasure on him, hoping that he could join the ship and do some work, so that she could get a share of the iron-bucket-like territory of the Chi family, or even replace her.

At this point, no matter how stupid Ikegoro is, he can still understand what Mrs. Lan means.

So he said with excitement in his eyes.

"Lingyou is very popular with Chi Zimo. Didn't he send him to Dongdu City for some work a few days ago? So it shouldn't be difficult to arrange for him to be shipped."

Mrs. Lan also nodded.

Although no one conveyed the plan of the mother and son, Chi Zimo could think of it with his toes.

He hates Mrs. Lan because she is evil-minded and caused the tragic death of her parents and second uncle. However, he suffers from the lack of evidence and has no way to avenge them openly, so he can only tolerate it.

But he didn't have much opinion on Chi Wulang, Chi Lingyou, or even Chi Lingying.

It took his grandfather many years to teach him a truth.

That is, the glory of a family is not something that only one person can bear. If we cannot stand together through thick and thin, even a prosperous family in the future will become lonely.

Therefore, if Chi Lingyou wants to study shipping, he can let him go.

But if you use such a despicable method, then I'm sorry, he, Chi Zimo, is not a kind person, so he will naturally have to fight with them!

At this time, the siblings Chi Lingyou and Chi Lingying did not know the dirty thoughts of their grandmother and father, but they were full of girlish hearts and were waiting for marriage at home.

The turmoil in the Chi family has not subsided, but there is unprecedented unity in Liangzhou City.

After the Feng family took the lead in arranging the Su clan members, Xiao Ji and Xiao Muqian no longer had any worries and focused on repairing the city walls and guards.

Who knows, but who knows who leaked the news? Many people who could not live outside heard that the Su people had settled in Liangzhou City, and they also came in twos and threes.

At one time, dozens of Zigu people who had been oppressed and miserable came to seek refuge, and at another time, Mobei people with their families also came here to seek a living.

After seeing people who couldn't live with their surroundings come to Liangzhou City one after another, everyone realized a problem.

That is how to properly deal with these foreign disaster victims and how to make them get along harmoniously with the locals?

They must stay. Since they have opened up the door to the Su people, they have no reason to reject other foreigners. As long as they really want to stay here and live a good life, they will not turn them away.

It's just that this method of survival is easy to solve, but integrating is a bit difficult.

Although the Jin people are not xenophobic, they are somewhat resistant to the sudden arrival of so many foreigners. They always feel that they are just here to steal food, land and business, so they are not welcome to see them.

In just half a month, there were four or five conflicts between the Su people and the Jin people.

It's not a big thing, but we must find a way to contain it. Otherwise, if the trouble gets worse, it will be difficult for the foreigners to survive in Liangzhou City.

"Let's intermarry."

After hearing all these concerns, Mr. Chen directly suggested.

"Intermarriage is the quickest way to integrate the Jin people with the Su people, Mobei people, and Zigu people. After one, two, three, or four generations, there will naturally be no distinction between you and me."

Xiao Ji's eyes lit up and he said with great admiration to Mr. Chen,

"Old Chen's method is better. You have solved a huge problem for Liangzhou City!"

Mr. Chen quickly smiled and waved his hands, not taking these credits to heart at all.

"I'm here today. I have something else I want to discuss with the general."

"You're welcome, Mr. Chen. If you have anything to do, just say it!"

Mr. Chen nodded. He was not a flatterer, so he spoke frankly.

"General, if this city really wants to accept foreigners to come here to make a living in the future, then the language will be the biggest problem. If you can't understand it, how can you communicate with them? So I was thinking, can I learn from these foreigners?

I want to find someone who, like Anli, can speak not only my own language but also some Jin dialect, can be appointed as a master in the academy!"
