Chapter 2268 Extreme Cold

The Xu family, Shilu Medicine Store, and the owners behind the medicine store all worked in vain and did not get the benefits they really wanted.

Mr. Qianshan was shocked that Shilu Medicine Store helped Xu Liu... Shilu Medicine Store was one of the master's trump cards and should be used at critical moments. Why was it suddenly used to help Xu Liu?

Xu Liu's brain and ability are not worthy of the support of Shilu Medicine Company!

But Mr. Qianshan did not dare to question his master, so he could only try his best to cooperate with Shilu Medicine Store and help Xu Liu.

However, Xu Liu was just a lump of mud that couldn't hold up the wall. He seemed to have no sympathy for people and couldn't understand the suffering of others, so he almost had an accident while collecting the medicinal materials.

He also went crazy and said that he was going to Zhang Yan's guardhouse to stay. He said that Zhang Yan had a good relationship with Qin Sanlang and that wooing Zhang Yan was equivalent to wooing Qin Sanlang.

He even targeted the family's eldest daughter, saying that she was the granddaughter of an Earl's palace and could be of some help to him if she became his concubine.

Mr. Qianshan was so disgusted that he almost slapped Xu Liuyi again. Zhang Yan’s daughter was not yet nine years old, so Xu Liuyi was targeting her. He must be mentally ill!

"Let's not talk about whether the Earl's Mansion will still be there in the future, but let's talk about Zhang Yan. He is a capable man. In a few years, as long as he does not die in battle, he will definitely become a general. He is also a man who loves his wife and children. You accept him as your eldest son. You treat your daughter as a concubine, and you are ruining his family like this, do you want him to raise an army to rebel against you?"

"Sixth Young Master, when you are about to do big things, you should set your sights far away and don't focus on these trivial matters of concubinage. This will only destroy you, do you understand?!"

Xu Liu was scolded so much that he temporarily gave up on taking Sister Yu as his concubine and did not dare to really bring it up.

Mr. Qianshan was extremely tired. In the middle of the night, when no one was around, he cried bitterly for coming to assist the Xu family. Fortunately, Big Wolf had a reputation of being kind and clever, which comforted him a lot...etc. Wait, wait, he won't die in the quagmire of the Xibei Xu family forever, he will definitely be able to assist the rightful owner!

…

Collecting medicinal materials is a tedious and rigorous matter. It took ten days from the beginning to the end, which made the people of Changliang Wei and the people of Yuanzi Medicine very tired.

Fortunately, the harvest was fruitful and everyone was very happy.

Gu Jinli was very generous and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Tomorrow we will kill pigs and sheep for a banquet. We all will have a good meal!"

Eating meat is the most beautiful thing in the world. After eating meat, you can relax no matter how tired you are.

He also went to invite Mrs. Tan and her daughter in person: "Aunt Tan, Sister Xiang, you will also come for a feast tomorrow. Just eat with me at the house. There are no strangers, and no one from my uncle's family."

As soon as these words came out, Tan Xiaoxiang's face turned red, remembering that when Mrs. Niu came to sell medicinal materials a few days ago, she came as a matchmaker to propose marriage to her for the Xiao family.

It was so sudden that she was confused at the time, but after thinking about it, Xiao Chengju was not bad, he was very capable, and he was Qin Qianhu's cousin. Although he was not his cousin, Qin Qianhu was very good to the Xiao family.

The Xiao family didn't care that she was a widower. They said that Widow Xiao could remarry after giving birth to four children. She was an innocent girl from a family of thousands of families, and she was a noble person. Why should they dislike her?

Since her fiancé passed away, Tan Xiaoxiang has suffered a lot. Others see her as no longer a young lady from a family of thousands of families, but as a widower with evil destiny!

She cried over this many times and didn't even want to talk about getting married again. She agreed to consider Xiao Baihu's family just to let her mother leave with peace of mind.

"Aunt Tan, Sister Xiang, I'm not here to rush you. Marriage is a major matter that should be carefully considered and not rushed." Seeing that they were a little uncomfortable, Gu Jinli spoke up: "The second cousin said that he knew he was worthy. I didn't want to fall in love with Sister Xiang, but I had my heart set on it. In order not to regret it for the rest of my life, I gave it a try. I also asked the Tan family not to blame him for dreaming of a good dream... He also said that if it doesn't work, it's okay. The Tan family doesn't need to have anything. Concern, it is enough to give him a chance to propose marriage."

What she said made Mrs. Tan feel a little embarrassed. Thinking about her daughter's troubled marriage and the lack of family, she stopped talking and said: "I have already written to inform her father about this. Have to wait."

He was also afraid that his words were too harsh, so he added: "Chengju is a good young man. He is down-to-earth, hard-working and takes care of his family."

I heard that the money earned would be divided into two parts, one for himself and one for his family. He also bought a shop in Mu County, with a house in the front and a house in the back, which could accommodate people.

Uncle Qin also said that after Xiao Chengju and the others get married, they will not live with the family, but will build another house and move out, and they will live their own lives.

Although Uncle Qin was the stepfather, he raised Xiao Chengju and the others as his biological sons. This made Mrs. Tan feel that although the Xiao family was complicated, it was not chaotic and could even be considered to have deep feelings.

If we weren't in a good relationship, how could we be so affectionate with each other? Can you let your son-in-law Qian Qinghe live at home all the time? Can you raise your little brother so well?

Mrs. Tan has also endured hardships. She wants her daughter to live a normal life rather than those wealthy families who don't get along well with each other.

"Second cousin is worthy of receiving such praise from Aunt Tan." Gu Jinli accepted it as soon as he was satisfied. He didn't stay long and left quickly, busy with the dinner tomorrow.

Surprisingly, the next day, Tan Qianhu came to Changliang Wei, saying that the affairs at the guard station had been sorted out, and he came to take his wife and daughter home.

Qin Sanlang took Uncle Qin and Xiao Chengju to pick them up.

"Haha, Sanlang, you came out to pick me up in person. Why are you so polite? It's not like I don't know the way." After Tan Qianhu saw Qin Sanlang and the others from a distance, he shouted at the top of his voice.

Qin Sanlang sat on the horse and clasped his fists towards Tan Qianhu: "Uncle Tan is a distinguished guest and an elder, so naturally I have to come to pick him up."

"Hey, your kid is finally willing to call me uncle. When I was called to you in Duchonggou Camp, you still stretched your arms and refused to change your words." Tan Qianhu said, and then asked: "Where are your two sons? What's the matter? Why don’t you hold it out for me to see?”

Qin Sanlang smiled and said: "At this point, they are taking a nap. When they are waiting for dinner, I will take them out to keep them company so that Uncle Tan can watch them all."

Tan Qianhu: "Haha, that's good. I'll just wait. I'll make them cry when we eat."

Xiao Chengju was shocked. He didn't expect Tan Qianhu to have such a cheerful temper. He thought he was very serious and hard to talk to.

However, he did not dare to neglect and kept company carefully, but Tan Qianhu did not even look at him, which made Xiao Chengju very nervous. He looked at Uncle Qin and whispered: "Dad?"

Uncle Qin patted him on the shoulder: "Dad, what's the matter? Just do what you usually do now."

"Oh." Xiao Chengju could only suppress his nervousness and continue to follow the busy schedule.

Being busy, he was no longer nervous. When he was waiting for dinner, he sat at the same table with General Wu and others. Because he was smart and good at talking, he was very lovable.

General Wu also praised him: "Chengju, you are a good boy. You can coax the big guys into running around. You are a good candidate to be a peace negotiator!"

Speaking of official positions, he asked him again: "You are a well-educated person and good at martial arts. It would be a waste to only do business. Have you ever thought about working in the army?"

Xiao Chengju was stunned. He didn't expect General Wu to ask him this. He thought about it and replied: "I never thought... there are countless capable people in the army. I am just an ordinary person with some quick wits. I can't compare with the adults in the army. In this life, I just want to do business, make money to support my family, and make sure that the family has meat to eat every day.”

After saying that, he glanced at Tan Qianhu anxiously, fearing that Tan Qianhu would reject the marriage because he had no ambition.
