Save the Bachelor of Heaven

After returning home, Xiang Nan told Jin Quan about the conversation he had with Bai Xiongqi.

"Hmph, I knew he was ambitious, but I didn't expect him to be too strong to be tempted. As soon as I let the news out, he couldn't sit still." Jin Quan sneered.

"Father, calm down." Xiang Nan persuaded, "It's not a bad thing to be ambitious. Only with ambition can you climb high and go far. If you quit, our Jin family still needs someone as ambitious as him."

The so-called how can there be any quiet time in the world, it is just that someone is carrying the burden for you. When Jin Quan chose to retire, someone had to stand in front to protect the Jin family from the wind and rain.

But so far, none of the four sons of the Jin family has the ability to support the family of the Jin family.

Although Bai Xiongqi is ambitious, but in the end he is young and vigorous. In terms of ability, qualifications, and connections, he belongs to the top choice.

Coupled with Bai Xiuzhu's relationship, Bai Xiongqi can always protect the Jin family for a while.

Of course, after all, they are only in-laws, not close relatives of flesh and blood, and there is a layer of relationship between them. It is more difficult for the Jin family to be as rich as before.

But in troubled times, it is already rare to be able to preserve one's life and property.

Upon hearing this, Jin Quan nodded.

...

Years later, at Xiang Nan's suggestion, Liu Shouhua, the fourth brother-in-law, was sent to Sweden as a consul.

It is now 1924, and it has only been ten years since the outbreak of World War II in Europe.

During World War I and World War II, Sweden was in a neutral position, and the country was not attacked by artillery fire, so it was relatively safe.

Moreover, Sweden is a small country and does not have close contacts with the Beiyang government, so its consular position is not considered good or bad. Unlike the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, France, and Germany, because of the developed economy and trade and the deep interest exchanges, everyone is rushing to go.

So it was relatively easy for Liu Shouhua to go to Sweden. If it is done well, it is possible to continue to serve during the period of the Guomindang government.

Xiang Nan hoped that after he went there, he could pave the way for the Jin family to retreat. At that time, once the war broke out, the Jin family could emigrate to Sweden to escape the artillery fire of World War II.

The reason why he didn't go to the United States was because the United States in the 1920s and 1930s was not peaceful at all.

Under the Prohibition Order, gangs ran rampant and the judiciary was corrupt, just like a dark country. And even after World War II, the atmosphere in the United States was not very friendly to the Chinese. In comparison, Sweden is much more peaceful.

...

In addition to Liu Shouhua's retreat, Bai Xiongqi was also promoted to the post of deputy prime minister, preparing to succeed Jin Quan in the future.

Bai Xiongqi was naturally happy to be promoted to vice premier.

In order to reassure Jin Quan and give him the power earlier, besides being more attentive and obedient than before, he also persuaded his younger sister to be more filial to her in-laws in the future, and to be less petty towards Xiang Nan in the future. He even persuaded her to make Xiang Nanna Xiaolian his concubine.

"Xiao Lian is Yanxi's personal maid, she entered the Jin family earlier than you, and she has performed very well these years." Bai Xiongqi advised, "Besides, she is still an orphan, without the support of relatives and friends, she will not influence you.

If you do this, it will not only show your aura as a big house, but it will also make it easier for you to win over Yanxi's heart. Men, who doesn't like three wives and four concubines. If you don't arrange for him to stay at home, he may go outside to have fun, which will naturally be more troublesome. "

Bai Xiuzhu was self-willed and savage since childhood, even if it was Bai Xiongqi's words, she might not necessarily listen to them. Although Bai Xiongqi tried to persuade her, but she did not agree.

After all, no woman would tolerate her man and favor another woman.

Seeing this, Bai Xiongqi persuaded Xiang Nan, "Yanxi, Xiao Lian, you can accept as much as you want. My little sister has been spoiled since she was a child, so that she is so unruly and willful now. But don't be afraid, I will take care of you. Back up. If she dares to make trouble with you, you can see how I will deal with her. "

When Xiang Nan heard this, he couldn't help admiring Bai Xiongqi's shamelessness.

In order to be promoted, even the happiness of his sister can be spared. He really deserves to be a hero, cold-blooded and ruthless. However, what he did made Xiang Nan feel a little more apprehensive.

After all, even his own sister was willing to sacrifice, so the Jin family, which has no blood relationship, would be sacrificed by him in the event of a conflict of interest.

Just like Yi Ya in the Spring and Autumn Period, in order to please Duke Huan of Qi, he actually killed his son to cook, so he won the favor of Duke Huan of Qi.

In the end, it was precisely because of Yi Ya's rebellion that Duke Huan of Qi finally starved to death in the palace. He lay on the bed for more than 60 days and no one restrained him, causing maggots to crawl all over the palace.

But in fact, before his death, Guan Zhong bitterly advised Duke Huan of Qi not to favor Yi Ya. Because it is unreasonable to kill a son to serve the king, so what you want must be great.

Therefore, after Xiang Nan thought about it, he decided to add another insurance, with a flick of his fingers, he injected two strands of true energy into Bai Xiongqi's body.

If he can take good care of the Jin family, that's all. If he dares to betray the Jin family for his own benefit, Xiang Nan will let him know what life is like death.

...

Later, with Bai Xiongqi's strong support, Xiang Nan finally accepted Xiao Lian as his concubine.

Naturally, Bai Xiuzhu didn't do it. After a big fight with him, she ran back to Bai's house.

Xiang Nan didn't care about her, and still took care of her. It's just that there was no publicity, and there was no big celebration. It was just a family gathering and a wedding banquet.

"Xiuzhu has a really bad temper. What's wrong with a man taking a concubine, but she wants to make a big fuss." Mrs. Jin scolded.

"Mom, I don't blame Xiuzhu for this matter. It's my fault after all. I have to look forward to Shu, eat what's in the bowl, and look at what's in the pot." Xiang Nan first took the responsibility on himself.

"You just get used to her, and sooner or later you will spoil her so badly." Mrs. Jin rolled her eyes at him, and then said, "It's also fortunate that I agreed with Peifang to give Xiao Lian to you, otherwise there would be no good around you." Women serve.

You see how good this girl is, Xiao Lian, she looks like a juicy girl, and has a gentle personality, much better than Xiuzhu. "

When Xiang Nan heard this, he suddenly realized.

No wonder the Jin family has rules, the young master does not allow maids to serve him. But when Wu Peifang wanted to give Xiao Lian to herself, Mrs. Jin agreed immediately.

It turned out that she knew that Bai Xiuzhu was unruly and willful, so she gave him the gentle Xiao Lian.

"Okay, Mom, Xiuzhu is actually pretty good too. It's just that she didn't turn her head around for a while. After two days, her anger subsides, and I'll persuade her to come back." Xiang Nan said.

"Just spoil your wife." Mrs. Jin shook her head and said.

...

At night, Xiang Nan and Xiao Lian officially bridal chamber.

Although they were together before, they were sneaky after all. From today onwards, the two can be regarded as aboveboard.

"Xiao Lian, I'm really sorry, I didn't give you your title until now." Xiang Nan hugged Xiao Lian and said.

"Seventh Young Master, don't say that, I am already very satisfied to have today." Xiao Lian said softly.

"Anyway, I have wronged you this year." Xiang Nan said again, "Don't worry, I will always treat you well."

"I know, Seventh Young Master." Xiao Lian nodded.
