Master of Rebirth

A few months after Zhao Aman left, Tubo really took action.However, to Wang Qi's surprise, this battle came several years earlier, and the battle situation was much more tragic than the previous life.

Facing Tubo's sudden attack, the soldiers stationed in Shuzhong rose up to resist.Not long after, the emperor hand-picked Zheng Xihou to take command and lead the army to fight against Tubo.

Daliang's army fought bloody battles for four years, and finally ushered in victory, completely bringing Shuzhong into Daliang's territory.

The king of Tubo was defeated, and he was willing to bow his knees to become a minister and pay tribute to Daliang.To show his sincerity, he even sent his only son to Beijing as a hostage.The emperor Longyan was very happy, and rewarded the meritorious soldiers.After this award, the forces within the imperial court also quietly changed.However, the infighting and power changes in the court have nothing to do with ordinary people.In order to celebrate the victory, the whole country was jubilant, and even Pingyao County in the hinterland was lively for several days.

"Brother Qiongju, Mr. Li is the host of Hongxiu Tianxiang tonight, and invited the celebrities in the county to gather together. I was specially asked to tell you. Hey, this is an invitation card, you have to go for the face." Dong Jue looked at Wang Qi and said.

Wang Qi shook her head, and said without interest: "I just came back, and I was caught in the wind and cold on the way, so I really couldn't go out. Since Mr. Li has invited celebrities from the county, Wang Long must be among them. I'm afraid to see him. If you want to feel sick, you will inevitably be disappointed, so let's not go to add trouble."

"I don't understand." Dong Jue said bitterly: "Didn't your grandma let you marry Wang Long's cousin back then? If you don't want to, let it go. If a cow doesn't drink water, she can force her head down." Do you need to make a fuss over a molehill, to the point of breaking off ties with your family? It’s good now, not only voluntarily giving up the wealth that originally belonged to you, but also being accused of contradicting your elders, disobeying filial piety, and not knowing etiquette. Your grandma and the others have caught the blame until now."

When it comes to what happened a few years ago, Wang Qi is also a little helpless.The war between Daliang and Tubo was several years earlier than in the previous life, killing him by surprise.Knowing that Wang Feng would make a big mistake in this war, but Wang Qi rarely intervened in the family business, so naturally it was impossible to compete with the long-running Wang Feng and his son.Since he was unable to reverse it, Wang Qi had no choice but to remove herself as soon as possible and distance herself from them in terms of position and business.

It just so happened that Mrs. Wang Li's old story was brought up again, and when he mentioned his marriage to Wang Long's cousin, Wang Qi went along with the flow and made things worse, completely torn face with the Wang family and set up his own family.From now on, what happened to the Wang family has nothing to do with him, even if something happened, at least Linglongzhai would not be involved.

Wang Qi said lazily: "My grandma and my second uncle acted like a good boy because they got cheap. They scolded me for being disobedient, but in their hearts they were laughing at me as a fool. Think about it, they made me leave the house automatically without any effort. Not only did they occupy my share of the family property for nothing, but they also lost a good reputation. They must wake up laughing when they sleep."

"That's why I don't understand." Dong Jue said suspiciously: "You don't see it, do you understand? Why do you do such things that harm yourself and benefit others? Do you know that, together with the war in Tubo, you two How big a windfall did Uncle make through your third uncle's relationship? I heard that the money you earned would never be spent in a few lifetimes. If you draw a clear line with the Wang family at this moment, it's not for nothing. Your third uncle, too, Even if I'm angry with you, it won't be a problem with the business. Linglongzhai's branch in the capital was originally opened well, but did you ask you to close the store?"

After Wang Qi and Wang Li's quarrel, Wang and Li's family sent a letter to the capital, denouncing Wang Qi's various "evil deeds".In a rage, Wang Yao went to write a letter to Wang Qi, saying that since Wang Qi did not want to be a member of the Wang family, he would not support the unscrupulous son who betrayed his family, and ordered Wang Qi to take the Linglongzhai in the capital to the palace. The branch is closed.

In fact, Wang Qi knew in her heart that Wang Yao asked him to close the store, not entirely because he was angry that he severed ties with his family, but more than half of the reason was because he felt that the store had passed the time of making money and had no future.Since Mrs. Ma left, although Linglongzhai has been able to maintain its appearance by relying on the prosperity of the flowers, but after a long time, it is inevitable that people will get tired of the same dim sum.During this period, Wang Sheng, Changan, and Changshun did not fail to think of ways to innovate, but the effect was not very satisfactory.If Linglongzhai became more and more prosperous, Wang Yao would probably just write a letter to reprimand him, and then make mud on both sides.

Wang Qi didn't care about these things, but said lightly: "After all, the capital is under the feet of the emperor, and there are many rules. If you are not careful, you may offend people. Besides, Chang'an has been outside all the time, and he is also worried about his family. It is best to come back. .Brother Wu Shuang, don’t worry about me, I already have enough silver, and it’s useless to ask for more money. Besides, I don’t dare to earn some silver that burns my hands.”

"You are just too unambitious." Knowing Wang Qi's temper, Dong Jue said with a smile: "If you were a little bit more greedy, you would have become the richest man in Pingyao County long ago, and you wouldn't be in the same position as you are now. "

What Dong Jue said was right. Although he didn't know that Wang Qi had the experience of two lifetimes, Wang Qi had enough money for his capital and Linglongzhai as his backing.If you are ruthless, it will not be a problem to do a big business.

It's a pity that Wang Qi is just tired of the intrigues in the mall, and she doesn't want to continue to live that kind of life that plays out on every occasion.Anyway, I am living a good life now, eating and drinking without worrying about being too stealthy and being envied by others, so why bother to make myself unhappy?

Seeing that Dong Jue was feeling sorry for him all the time, Wang Qi smiled and said, "I think life is pretty good now. I don't have to worry about money, and I can still do what I want, so I just want to be at ease. Look at me two Uncle and Wang Long, although they earn a lot of money, they look good. But they are exhausted every day, and they are worried and sad. They look ten years older than their actual age. According to Wang Sheng, there is a businessman from other places who has seen me. Talking about business with Wang Long, he didn’t believe me when he learned that I was his cousin. He said that he was like my uncle, which made Wang Long half dead.”

"Fuck you, do you really want to call Wang Long an uncle?" Dong Jue was amused by Wang Qi, but he still didn't agree with Wang Qi's current lifestyle, and said bluntly: "Even if you don't like being alone in business I'm not interested in being coquettish, but I have to do something serious. But now you know you're out in the wild, and you don't even want to go home."

Over the past few years, Wang Qi has spent most of her time traveling around mountains and rivers and painting.Every time he went to a place, he would draw a sketch of the beautiful scenery he encountered, and take it back to study.After careful calculation, the time spent in Pingyao County was actually very little.

"I'm only interested in painting. Famous painters throughout the ages have always focused on landscapes and learned from nature. I'm just imitating the ancients. How can I be called wild?" Wang Qi said: "Besides, I have always been at home. It's really boring to wait."

Thinking about Wang Qi's situation, Dong Jue felt relieved.In Pingyao County, ordinary households can quarrel and divide their families for several days, let alone the richest man like the Wang family.The quarrel between Wang Qi and her family caused an uproar in Pingyao County. Many people secretly inquired about the cause of the incident, and even conjectured several versions.

Wang Qi is not a gossiping person who loves to dispute right and wrong. As long as her goal is achieved, she naturally disdains to explain more to those gossiping people.But Wang Li's is different. She smears Wang Qi's reputation everywhere, saying that Wang Qi is disobedient and unfilial.In addition, during that period of time, Wang Qi rejected several merchants who came to offer olive branches and offered him to be his son-in-law, which aroused dissatisfaction among those people.As a result, Wang Qi's reputation in Pingyao County was not very good for a period of time.

Dong Jue sighed, "Although you have separated from your second uncle and the others, you are still in the same county after all, and they always speak bad things about you. Hey, I don't see you every day. Seeing those people and hearing those words is also true. It's bad, it's better to go out for a walk."

After hearing Dong Jue's words, Wang Qi shook her head.Dong Jue thought he didn't want to see Wang Lishi and Wang Long, so he went out to hide.In fact, he really doesn't care what outsiders think of him.After all, people have two mouths, as long as they don't talk about it on the bright side, Wang Qi will not pay attention to what people say behind their backs.As for Wang Feng and Wang Long, Wang Qi didn't pay much attention to them.

Although Wang Qi left the Wang family, the Wang family is not without his eyeliner.Over the years, he has also been sending Wang Sheng and Qi Xing to keep an eye on the Wang family's business secretly, and caught Wang Feng and his son a lot.It's fine if they don't look for trouble, otherwise Wang Qi doesn't mind killing their relatives righteously, and sends them to prison with her own hands.

"I didn't go out because of Second Uncle and the others, they are really not qualified." Wang Qi explained lightly.

Dong Jue was taken aback, "Then why did you go out?"

Wang Qi smiled bitterly, the reason why he went out was because there were too many memories of being with Zhao Aman in the bamboo garden, and he felt really uncomfortable in his heart every day.If they set up another garden and move out to live in, they would be reluctant.He really had no choice but to hide by himself, so as not to add to the sadness.

What's more, apart from being able to express love for the mountains and rivers when traveling, Wang Qi also has a little selfishness, hoping to find out about Zhao Aman's whereabouts.If there is fate, maybe we can meet again.It's a pity that after so many years, there is not even any news about Zhao Aman.

"However, the travels in the past few years are not useless at all. Brother Qiongju's painting skills have improved a lot. The painting you gave me two days ago was hung in the store by my elder brother. I didn't expect that several people in the county The adults have fallen in love with it, and they want to buy it at a high price."

Seeing that Wang Qi didn't answer for a long time, Dong Jue didn't press the question, but stated the real purpose of coming here very seriously, "Brother Qiongju, can you bring a few more paintings to my shop, and I'll help hang two of them. God, maybe the money you earn will not be less than that of Linglongzhai. If you really get the appreciation of some high-ranking official and dignitary, and someone chases after you, you won’t have to worry about no one asking for a painting. At that time, Brother Qiongju will be the next master, and it’s hard to find a painting ah."

Dong Chen has such a vision, he thinks that Wang Qi's paintings have a future, so he must have his reasons.Dong Jue has always believed in his elder brother. If Wang Qi really has the potential to become a great painter, with such a cash cow by his side, he would be a fool if he doesn't get close.He came here this time, apart from reminiscing about the past and helping to deliver posts, he just wanted to find out what Wang Qi said.

Wang Qi's painting was originally a hobby. In her previous life, she had no choice but to paint some paintings that catered to others in order to make a living.Now that I don't have to worry about eating and drinking, I naturally don't want to associate this piece of pure land in my heart with worldly money.Hearing this, he could only smile and said, "My painting skills are too difficult to be elegant, so I won't use them to make a fool of myself."

Seeing his refusal, although Dong Jue was disappointed in his heart, he also knew that this matter should not be rushed, so he had to figure it out slowly.

"Hehe, brother Qiongju is too modest." Dong Jue didn't force it, and simply changed the topic: "I said you are too old, don't just focus on painting all day long. Even if you don't have a cousin who likes Wang Long, you don't Other girls in my eyes? Look at me, I have a wife and concubine, and I have had several children, but you are still alone, are you still planning to become a monk?"

Wang Qi smiled faintly, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with becoming a monk. Sometimes, I really want to throw away all my wealth and find a temple to become a monk. Lenggu Buddha as a companion."

Wang Qi didn't say this on a whim. In the past few years, to be more precise, after Zhao Aman left, he felt that he had no interest in life. He even took revenge on Wang Li and Wang Long's family to trip them up. , so that they are unhappy and can't arouse Wang Qi's interest.

If you think about it, those people are petty and have no bottom line in doing things. If you want to win them, you can only be smaller than them and have no bottom line.Even if they were all defeated, what would be left of him?After so many years of endless fighting, Wang Qi was really tired.Anyway, with the handle in hand, it will take some effort to kill them.And Wang Long's family will suffer retribution sooner or later, and he doesn't need to be as knowledgeable as a dying person to dirty his hands in vain.Instead of wasting time with them, you might as well live your own life.

Besides, in the previous life, the Wang family was completely taken over. Even though Wang Qi was kicked out for many years, the government was not prepared to let him go.Although he has severed ties with the Wang family now, his surname is still Wang after all, and he has stayed in Pingyao County.If the situation is the same as in the previous life, he will definitely be affected.Instead of sitting still and waiting to die, it is better to get out as soon as possible.Even if you don't want to go home, you can get away from the hustle and bustle of the world and find a fairyland outside the world to escape the world and live in seclusion.

Over the years, Wang Qi has been traveling around, looking for a suitable place to live in seclusion on the way.When the time comes, he will give up Linglongzhai to Wang Sheng and Qi Xing, and leave in a graceful manner.As for becoming a monk or retiring from the world, Wang Qi has not yet made a decision.

The reason why he is still staying in Pingyao County instead of going to live in seclusion in some unknown paradise is because he still has a little thought.Although he didn't know where Zhao Aman was, at least Zhao Aman knew he was here.If he really left, he might not even have a chance to see Zhao Aman.
