In ancient times, the traffic was inconvenient. It was not a long straight line from Shiqiao Town to Jiangyi Prefecture, but it was a long way according to the traffic turnover here.

After half a month's journey, Wu Qingyuan and two slaves arrived at the destination. This is still under the condition that one of the slaves was originally from the first county of Jiangyi Prefecture. He was familiar with the road and didn't go wrong. If he wasn't familiar with the road, I'm afraid it would take a long time.

After arriving at the first county of the state capital, Wu Qingyuan didn't rush to visit the Qi family. He only heard about the emperor merchant Qi family. He didn't know the specific situation of the Qi family. Only by knowing himself and the enemy could he win. Otherwise, he came to the door without any preparation and could only be eaten by others.

"Let's inquire separately these days and write down everything about the whole family, no matter how big or small."

After finding an inn to stay, Wu Qingyuan ordered the two slaves to act separately to inquire about the Qi family.

This time, only three of them came. There were many outsiders in the capital and county. The three of them were insignificant and no one had any doubt about them. The two slaves were smart. It was not difficult to inquire about news. After several days of busy work, we finally summarized all the inquiries. Wu Qingyuan had a relatively clear general understanding of the whole family.

We don't talk about the deep-seated affairs of the Qi family, but after summing up the news in recent days, he found a very important breakthrough in cooperation, that is, there is a problem in the relationship between the children and grandchildren of the Qi family.

As an emperor and merchant, the Qi family has a strong and wealthy family. The descendants of such a large family naturally want to inherit it. However, in ancient times, they paid attention to opening branches and leaves. After several generations of development, the Qi family has five rooms, regardless of their collateral families, only their legitimate descendants, but there is only one owner.

In order to inherit the position of the head of the family, the legitimate families of the Qi family have been fighting since childhood. They are brothers in the light, but secretly they want to kill each other's enemies. The seemingly peaceful family mansion has long been bloody.

However, no matter how fierce the fight between these children and grandchildren is, we don't dare to go too far with the pressure of contemporary masters of the whole family. The whole family has been peaceful these years.

However, the old man's life is limited after all. Now he's old enough to see the old man going to see the king of hell, and the wolf tails of a group of children are exposed. He tore his face several times and began to tear it in front of master Qi. Half a month ago, master Qi finally couldn't bear to be angry with these wolf cubs, so he had a stroke and fell into bed. It seems that he won't live long.

As soon as master Qi fell down, the descendants of the Qi family had no scruples. They completely uncovered their mask and fought. Master Qi was still in the hospital bed without even looking at it. They fought to the death in order to compete for their family property.

Nowadays, not only the people of the Qi family are afraid to stand in the wrong line all day, but also the merchants who rely on the Qi family in Jiangyi prefecture have a headache.

The descendants of the Qi family fight so hard that they are fierce tigers. For a while, they really don't know who will win or lose. But before Master Qi dies, they must make a choice. It's ok if they choose the right one. They continue to live and enjoy their happiness by relying on the Qi family, but if they choose the wrong one, the new owner of the Qi family will have to write them down in his heart?!

Although the Qi family is only a merchant, the family grievances are no smaller than the royal family struggle.

"Master, we are lucky. This family fight is an opportunity. Cooperation with the new owner is far better than cooperation with the experienced master Qi."

Although it's a headache to choose to stand in line, it's time for renewal. New owners need "Founding heroes", and the risk is directly proportional to the harvest.

"Master, the eldest of the whole family is the golden mean. The second is capable but insidious. The third is easy to get along with but has insufficient ability. The fourth is good in character and ability, but his means are stingy and can't get on the table. The fifth is good in all aspects. Now he is at a disadvantage because he is too young and inexperienced. If he wants to cooperate, the fifth is the best choice..."

Although only two slaves were brought out this time, these two were the most intelligent of the 18 slaves. In particular, one of them had been in Jiangyi Prefecture and knew more about the Qi family. The situation of the five houses of the Qi family was clearly analyzed and suggestions were given.

Wu Qingyuan didn't answer immediately. He thought silently and screened all the news of the whole family at a high speed in his mind.

After a while, he shook his head and pondered, "we can't choose one of the five rooms of the whole family..."

“……”

The two didn't speak. The slave looked at him and didn't quite understand what he meant.

"We cooperate, not work. Remember, although the Wu family is small, they will never work for anyone."

Wu Qingyuan pondered.

Although his family is now gaining momentum and urgently needs support, what he wants is cooperation and mutually beneficial cooperation, rather than directly relying on who works for whom. The result of that can only be that his Wu family will become slaves to others for future generations.

And even if you really want to work hard, the whole family is just an imperial merchant, which is not qualified at all.

"... it's really an opportunity for Qi's lineal five rooms to fight fiercely, but we can't choose these five rooms. These people have been cultivated as future owners since childhood. No matter how good their calculation mind is, it's not easy. Moreover, judging from the current situation, these rooms are not good stubble, and their means are insidious. Cooperating with this kind of cooperation is like seeking skin from a tiger."

"But now they are the only ones who can inherit the position of head of the Qi family. I'm afraid others don't have much hope..."

The two slaves are worried. The master's words are reasonable, but who else can inherit the whole family except the five bedrooms? Other descendants of the Qi family are out of touch. Some outstanding and capable concubines have long been suppressed so that they have no power to fight back.

"So what? No matter how fierce the fight is, if the master of the whole family doesn't agree, who dares to disobey the legitimate five rooms?"

Wu Qingyuan doesn't care about smiling.

"Master, do you mean...?"

"Master Qi has just suffered a stroke, but he is not really dead. As long as master Qi sits up from bed, whoever takes over as the head of the family will have to follow master Qi's meaning. Besides, the capable lineage of the family is not only these sons. Prepare. Tomorrow we will continue to act separately to check the affairs of the three young ladies of the family“

Wu Qingyuan felt the wooden box in his hand and his eyes were burning.

…………

That night, after discussing with the two slaves, Wu Qingyuan took a deep sleep and rested. The next morning, he got up and went out with the slaves to investigate the third miss of the whole family.

As the old saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles. Wu Qingyuan doesn't like to fight uncertain battles.

After analyzing the whole family situation, he finally decided to put his cooperation goal on the daughter of the family.

Although the heirs of all big family forces since ancient times are sons, especially in this backward feudal era, everyone ignores that women are not worse than men, and even women are stronger than most men in some aspects. In post-modern times, many enlightened family heirs have not only focused on their sons, but only capable daughters You can also inherit your family.

The third lady of the Qi family is such a capable woman.

The Qi family is full of incense, and there are a lot of legitimate and collateral sons. Among a group of descendants, only miss Qi San is the daughter of master Qi, who is also the direct daughter of master Qi. Therefore, master Qi dotes on him very much. She has taught him since childhood. Over time, she has learned master Qi's business skills and can help master Qi independently after hairpin Deal with the whole family's business.

With the growth of age, Miss Qi's ability has become more and more remarkable over the years. Now most of the industry of the whole family depends on her. If she were not a daughter, old man Qi really wanted to pass his seat to her, and the five rooms of the whole family would also regard her as a thorn in the eye.

However, it is also a pity that she is a woman. The direct five room brothers did not persecute her like other capable brothers. Instead, they attracted her very much. Such a capable sister is definitely a help, and her daughter will marry out sooner or later. Miss Qi San can't share the property of Qi family no matter how capable she is.

However, Wu Qingyuan just took a fancy to miss Qi San. He was not very confident about cooperating with those competing five rooms, because his Wu family started from scratch and had no foundation and too few chips, and the cooperation would only be annexed immediately.

But if you replace Miss Qi San, the situation will be different. At least, Miss Qi San's character is much better than her brothers. Even if Miss Qi San also wants to annex him, it will not be so fast. He has enough time and confidence to expand the Wu family before the Qi family annex himself.

No matter whether the fight between the five families of the Qi family has reached a white hot stage, Wu Qingyuan and the two slaves are acting separately to investigate the three young ladies of the Qi family. After some inquiry and investigation, things finally have an appearance.

"Master, we found out from the population of the Qi family that the third young lady of the Qi family will be engaged to the eldest young master of the imperial merchant Sun family in liaojiang Prefecture at the end of this month, but it is said that the eldest young master of the sun family is very obsessed. Before his wife married, the family has hired seven concubines and waiters. The third young lady of Qi seems to have some complaints about the marriage“

More than complaining, no woman likes her husband. The backyard is full of other people, especially miss Qi San, a powerful woman.

However, limited by the times, no matter how capable women are here, they can't escape this bondage. Moreover, the whole family is still a profit oriented merchant. All children's marriages can't be decided by themselves. Whoever marries takes the interests of the family first.

In the past, Mr. Qi doted on the third young lady and was reluctant to marry out. He wanted to recruit a redundant son-in-law. His daughter kept it. Now Mr. Qi was so angry that he lay in bed waiting to die before he had time to leave his will. Several ruthless unfilial sons naturally turned their faces and did not hesitate to sacrifice their sisters' happiness and life for their own interests.

"Master, do you want to choose Miss Qi San? But she is a woman..."

By this time, the two slaves probably knew what their master wanted.

"What about the woman? Get ready. Let's visit Miss Qi tomorrow."

After all the things and chips in his heart, Wu Qingyuan smiled on his handsome face.
