Chapter 29 Proposal

Qian Xiaoxing smiled and said, "That's true. I think Miss Nightingale comes over and not just ask me for my name, so I'll say goodbye first."

"Stop!" Nightingale was so angry and anxious when she heard it. Qian Xiaoxing probably expected that he wanted to ask the trick of thirty balls, so he deliberately kept it here, so he had to say, "I tell you, but I can only tell you one person. If you want to know, come into the carriage."

"Well, I don't want to know anymore. I have to go shopping, let's go first." Qian Xiaoxing wanted to leave, but was stopped by Hong Xing and Hongwang.

The woman said, "You really have personality. It's so difficult to talk to, so I will tell you that my real name is Ye Ying and my surname is Shi."

"Shi Yeying, OK, I'll write it down." Qian Xiaoxing replied.

At this time, Ling Shan hurriedly pulled Qian Xiaoxing's sleeve and said softly: "Brother Xing, this Shi Yeying is very famous. He is the real sister of the current Emperor Shi Kingdom. Everyone calls her Ying Ge."

"I guess so. Wait for me, I'll say a few words to her and come over." Qian Xiaoxing approached the carriage and said, "Girl Ying, you must have something to ask me when you come to me. You ask, I won't charge you this time."

"Oh, you've changed your sex, you don't even need money," Shi Yeying asked with a smile, "Tell me the tips for betting on thirty balls."

"The trick is very simple. If I get the ball first, I will win. If the opponent gets the ball first, you need to get the second, sixth, tenth, fourteenth, eighteenth, twenty-two, twenty-sixth balls, and four goals apart," Qian Xiaoxing replied.

Shi Yeying understood as soon as she thought about it, and said, "That is, after you start to take two, you can take three, the other party takes two, and the other party takes three, and the other party takes one, and keep four unchanged, then continue, the other party will lose, but this is what it means?"

"Well, you answered correctly, add ten." Qian Xiaoxing smiled.

After hearing this, Shi Yeying laughed, thought for a while and asked, "What's the matter with you when you come to Dashi Country this time?"

"This is a private question, I don't need to tell you, but you have seen it today, and it's okay if I said it. I'm here to marry this lady." Qian Xiaoxing replied.

After hearing this, Shi Yeying didn't know whether she should be happy or disappointed. Qian Xiaoxing repeatedly refused to reason with him. According to his previous temper, he had to teach him a lesson. However, he was arrogant because he was arrogant and ignored him and asked him to tell him three points. He couldn't find an excuse to teach him a lesson.

He heard that he was just coming to marry someone. It seemed that his identity was just a businessman. The man in his mind was not enough to be able to be civil and martial, just a little clever. He said to Hong Xing helplessly: "Let's go back to the palace."

Hong Xing and Hong Wang jumped into the carriage and drove away. When the carriage left, Qian Xiaoxing looked at the gold on the ground and laughed: "It's really easy to get it, and you can earn 150 taels of gold at once. Let's go and have a good meal."

It was noon when the sun was still there. Everyone found a restaurant for a meal, continued to play in the afternoon, and did not return to Ling Mansion until the afternoon.

Qian Xiaoxing was the first time he met Ling Shan’s parents, so he naturally couldn’t come empty-handed. After thinking about it, he asked Hu Suoyuan to go back and get a telescope, a lighter and two mirrors. He packed it and prepared to give it to someone.

In the evening, Ling Yi's parents finally came back. When the two of them sat down, Ling Yi immediately came up to introduce Qian Xiaoxing and said, "Father, mother, this is Qian Xiaoxing that I and you have collected. This time we made a special trip for Shan'er's marriage."

Qian Xiaoxing looked at it. Ling Yi's father was about fifty years old. His hair was a little gray after years of fatigue. However, his mother was well maintained. She looked young and elegant. She immediately went up to pay homage and said, "Uncle, aunt, you have a little bit of rare things, please accept it with a smile."

Qian Xiaoxing gave a gift. Ling Yi's mother opened the box and saw the mirror. She was very surprised. She frequently raised the mirror to check it out. She liked it so much. Ling Yi's father saw the telescope and lighter, but he didn't know what it was. Only Qian Xiaoxing demonstrated it and understood it. He couldn't help but play with it. He nodded and said, "It's indeed a good thing."

Qian Xiaoxing was in a good mood when he saw the two of them, so he took the opportunity to say, "Uncle, aunt, I came for Shan'er's marriage this time. Shan'er and I are in love, please help me."

Ling Yi's father put down his things and said, "How many property do you have now?"

Qian Xiaoxing didn't expect Ling Yi's father to be so snob. He thought for a while and replied: "There are currently seven or eight factories and dozens of branches, with an asset of about 5,000 taels of gold."

"It's only 5,000 taels of gold, and your level is only a small wealthy person. Our Shan'er is going to marry a wealthy family." Ling Yi's father said bluntly.

Ling Yi's mother also said: "I heard that you are in Si State, and are thousands of miles away from our Dashi State. I married my daughter so far, and I can't even see her daughter. So how can it be done?"

Qian Xiaoxing suddenly felt a sudden slap in his heart after hearing this. Unexpectedly, Ling Shan’s parents disagreed with the marriage, so he had to argue: “Uncle, I think your family business is not so rich in the world for a while, but it is also getting bigger and bigger step by step. I only have 5,000 taels of gold now, but it is only temporary. I can’t do it in the future like my uncle.”

Ling Yi's father smiled and said, "Just relying on your factories and branches, you will want to catch up with me for at least a few decades. I'm not afraid to tell you that your home business is not as good as mine."

Ling Shan heard it from the side and immediately retorted: "Father, even if he is young, that family business was created by Brother Xing himself. If you want me to marry Hu Youcai, Hu Youcai will rely on his father alone. What are his abilities?"

Ling Yi's father replied: "Hu Youcai is not capable, but he is the only son of the Hu family. In the future, the Hu family's assets will be all his. Moreover, after you marry him, our family will unite with their family and have a bright future."

"You just think about it for yourself, and never thought about my feelings. If you want to marry Hu Youcai, you can marry yourself." Ling Shan said angrily.

"Shan'er, why are you disobedient?" Ling Yi's father said helplessly.

Qian Xiaoxing felt a headache when he saw this scene. If he continued to talk, he would probably collapse. Ling Shan’s parents actually disliked his lack of property. They thought for a while and asked, “Uncle, I heard that Hu Da Businessman is the only businessman with a larger business than yours, right?”

"Yes, in recent years, the competition with my Ling family in business has become increasingly fierce. After several competitions, we were all at a disadvantage. If this continues, our Ling family will probably be annexed by him, so I am also very anxious. It's not that I don't want to marry Shan'er to you, but I have my own difficulties," Ling Yi's father replied truthfully.

After hearing this, Qian Xiaoxing said, "Uncle, what is the best expected goal for you to marry the Hu family?"

"After the marriage, the Hu family will not suppress us in business. If possible, my Ling family may be as strong as them." Ling Yi's father replied.

"In other words, my uncle's most optimistic attitude is probably to compete with the Hu family, but I have a way, maybe I can make the Ling family surpass the Hu family and become the richest man in the country of Dashi." Qian Xiaoxing said.

Ling Yi was also very surprised when he heard this. Qian Xiaoxing did what he said and never failed. He immediately asked, "Brother Qian, say it quickly."

Qian Xiaoxing kept a secret and said, "If you think my method is effective, then can Shan'er betrothed to me?"

Ling Yi's father said, "If there is a way to defeat the Hu family, why should I give my daughter to his son? As long as I can defeat the Hu family, Shan'er will be betrothed to you."

Qian Xiaoxing heard Ling Shan’s father promise, and said, “My uncle is also a businessman. For example, if my uncle wants to go to Hu to buy goods, then is it convenient to carry this silver?”

Ling Yi's father replied: "This is very troublesome. I bring a lot of silver to Hu Country at one time. It is difficult to guarantee the safety of it. And if I transport tens of thousands of taels, I will need a lot of boxes. The target is very large. I was robbed of tens of thousands of taels of silver before."

"That's right. Don't say that these big merchants are tens of thousands of taels at a time, but they are small merchants. It's a lot of trouble to carry them, so my suggestion is to open a money house." Qian Xiaoxing finally expressed his idea.

Ling Yi said in confusion: "What is the purpose of the money house?"

"Simply put, the money you deposited in the Dashi Country Money House can be withdrawn from the Hu Country's money house." Qian Xiaoxing explained.

After hearing this, Ling Yi's father nodded, but thought for a while and asked, "This method is good, but if you want to withdraw money from Hu, you need at least some credentials. What if someone fakes credentials?"

"Uncle is really meticulous, this is indeed a problem, but I have considered it. Please read it-" Qian Xiaoxing took out a few pieces of letter paper from his arms and said, "This is exclusively made by my Qian Group, and outsiders cannot follow it. Although there are paper for sale in some places now, I can add some raw materials to change the nature of the paper and distinguish it from ordinary paper. Then this is the only credential that cannot be imitated."

Qian Xiaoxing distributed the paper to everyone to watch. Ling Yi's father saw it for the first time. He looked it over and over again several times before nodding and said, "It's indeed a new thing."

After reading it, Ling Yi asked, "Since that's the case, how can this money house make money after having the evidence?"

Qian Xiaoxing replied: "If we deposit 100 taels of silver from the State of Dashi and get it to the State of Hu, we can draw some heads, and draw one tael or less for one hundred. This can be discussed again."

After hearing this, Ling Yi's father laughed and said, "I thought it was a clever way. Although your money shop can make some money from the tap, it would be a dream to defeat the Hu family with the money you earned in the money shop."

"Uncle, don't worry, the money earned by this money shop is enough to maintain all expenses, and I don't want to make money by this." Qian Xiaoxing replied.
