If the business woman does not help the poor, the villain's dream of prosperity will be shatter

After arriving in Jincheng and settling down, Qin Shu took her people back to Jinzhou.

Firstly, she needed to go back and bring back some seeds and grain.

Secondly, her parents’ anniversary is approaching, and she needs to go back to pay her respects.

It only takes four or five days for a horse carriage to travel from Jincheng to Jinzhou.

When we arrived in Jinzhou, it was the last day of the winter month, six days away from the anniversary of my parents’ death.

As soon as she entered the city gate of Jinzhou, Qin Shu thought that today was the day to welcome the imperial court's annual dethronement envoy.

Until the Jinzhou governor Zhang Mao came up to greet him with a big smile, saying, "Finally, we have brought back Shopkeeper Qin. Shopkeeper Qin, you have traveled all the way here, you must have worked hard!"

Qin Shu got off the carriage in surprise and asked, "Master Zhang, what are you doing?"

"Of course, I have come here specially to welcome Shopkeeper Qin back to the city. Shopkeeper Qin is now on a mission ordered by the emperor. I am the governor of Jinzhou, but I know very little about crops, so I can't help you. I can only prepare a glass of light wine to welcome Shopkeeper Qin back to the city."

While Zhang Mao was speaking, Qin Shu quickly glanced around.

Not only were there many officials from the governor's office, both big and small, but she also saw people from the Qin family among the onlookers.

Zhou Wan suddenly jumped out of the crowd, ran to Qin Shu and patted her shoulder vigorously, "Well, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I'm impressed. Shopkeeper Qin has transformed into an imperial envoy?"

Zhang Mao chuckled.

Zhou Wan took Qin Shu's arm and said to Zhang Mao with a smile, "Master Zhang, I will go back to the mansion with Sister Qin to wash and change clothes and rest for a while. I will go to the banquet with her later."

Zhang Mao stroked his beard and smiled, "That's great. I'll go back to the yamen first."

Qin Shu bowed quickly.

After seeing Zhang Mao off, Qin Shu walked up to her great uncle Qin Jinghong and bowed slightly, "Great uncle?"

Qin Jinghong's smile looked a little unnatural, as if he was trying his best to express intimacy, but also with a hint of fear, he stammered, "My niece is back. Uh, the clan leader asked me to bring your cousins ​​here to welcome you, but since my niece is going to the governor's mansion, then, then..."

Qin Shu smiled faintly and said, "My parents' anniversary is coming soon. I need the help of all the uncles in the clan to prepare the things needed for the ceremony. I would like to thank you in advance. If there is anything else that is needed or missing, just make a list and give it to me to buy."

Qin Jinghong waved his hands quickly, "No, no, there is nothing missing, everything is ready. The clan leader just asked me to ask when my niece plans to return to the clan."

He thought for a moment and then said, "Your parents' ancestral house has been renovated by the clan leader, and new things have been bought inside. Your niece can live there directly when she returns."

This is truly an unprecedented privilege.

Even when my parents were still alive, when it was time for the New Year or to return home to worship my ancestors, I had to send servants back to the clan in advance to pack up things and prepare what I would need.

Qin Shu's eyes flashed with sarcasm, and she said with a smile: "I know, after things are dealt with here, my niece will return to the clan."

Qin Jinghong breathed a sigh of relief without making a sound, and his smile looked more genuine. "Then I'll go back and tell my clan first."

Qin Shu was not polite and bent her knees slightly.

After Qin Shu got on the carriage and left, Qin Jinghong's son Qin Anzhu asked, "Dad, why didn't you tell my elder sister about that?"

Qin Jinghong frowned, "The clan leader didn't allow me to tell your elder sister in advance, saying that he wanted to give her a surprise."

Qin Anzhu curled his lips and said, "Then at that time, we will all be the clan leader, and we will all contribute together."

Qin Jinghong watched the carriage disappear around the corner of the street, sighed and said, "That's enough. It's still unclear whether they will appreciate it or not. In the past, when they were in trouble, I wanted to step on them."

"How does that saying go? Send flowers when you are rich..."

Qin Anzhu immediately interrupted his father and said, "It's the icing on the cake."

Qin Jinghong responded repeatedly, "Ah, yes, yes. It's even better to add icing on the cake. It's better to send some charcoal to people when it snows to help them through the difficult times."

Qin Anzhu was not convinced, "Big sister doesn't lack charcoal."

Qin Jinghong was furious, "Get lost! Is that about charcoal?"

In the entire clan, only Qin Jinghong still has some face in front of Qin Shu.

So the clan unanimously recommended him to bring people to welcome Qin Shu back to the city.

Now that you realize you owe others, what were you doing before?

It's because they saw that his parents were posthumously conferred the title of marquis and imperial edict, so they came around and tried to please him in every way possible.

I just don’t know if my eldest niece will buy it.

Qin Anqi followed behind with a frown on his face, not saying a word.

The elder sister clearly saw him just now, but she didn't even glance at him.

If he had not supported them when his second aunt brought Qin Anwen back to the clan, he might still be able to study for free now.

After Qin Shu announced that they would not be allowed to study in the clan school for free, the other few could no longer bear it and dropped out of school to find jobs.

The clan school did not send him back home.

But his family simply couldn't afford his tuition.

Originally, he could take part in the provincial examination next year.

But two months ago, my eldest brother fell off the roof while repairing the roof of his boss's house and broke his waist.

Now he is still lying on the couch and can't get up.

The master gave my eldest brother a one-time compensation of twenty taels of silver and terminated his employment contract.

Even if he used all this money on clan education fees, it would not be enough to last him through the provincial examination next year.

His mother secretly gave him five taels of silver. When his sister-in-law found out, she immediately rolled over and cried, wailing and making a fuss, and kept blaming others for seven or eight days.

These days, his parents sighed and hesitated to speak, and their explicit and implicit meaning was that they hoped he would stop studying and find a job to earn some money to support the family.

However, the teacher of the clan school said that he had a good chance of passing the provincial examination next year.

The day when the imperial angel came to the Qin family to announce the decree was the most glorious day for the Qin family in all those years.

Not only were all the officials from the Jinzhou Provincial Government present, but the county magistrates from the surrounding counties were also there.

The patriarch's hands were shaking as he received the imperial edict.

If so, he can pass the exam...

Relying on the relationship between Qin Shu and Master Ji, he would be able to find a respectable and easy job in the Changyuan County Government.

Qin Ningqi sighed in frustration: He didn't do anything to offend his elder sister, he just said a few fair words from his heart.

It is understandable that the elder sister was angry at the time and took her anger out on him.

His mother once told him secretly that when his elder sister returned to her tribe in a few days, she would take him to beg her.

As time goes by, my uncle and aunt have been posthumously conferred the title of marquis, but my second cousin's family has died and dispersed.

No matter how great the grudge he has, it should be resolved, right?

When Qin Shu returned home, Nanny Liu had already received the news and asked Xiao Xing to take people to prepare hot water and new clothes.

When the people arrived, after a brief conversation, Qin Shu washed, changed her clothes, and went out with Zhou Wan.

As soon as I turned onto the main street, I heard someone on the side of the road cautiously calling, "Shu'er?"

Qin Shu lifted the car curtain and saw Mrs. Cheng holding Cheng Zonghao's hand, looking at her eagerly.
