Chapter 370: Can't Spoil Them
Qin Han begged, "Mother, I just want one or two spirit poultry ducks."
She wasn't asking for much. Spirit poultry ducks were certainly precious, but she, Qin Han, was also a daughter of the Fourth Branch. She had often taken care of her maiden home. In the past few years, neither the Heir Apparent Rong nor the Heir Apparent He had taken care of the Fourth Branch, leaving the Fourth Branch on the fringes of the Marquis Manor.
Jiang Mo's family were merchants with plenty of money, and they had often helped the Fourth Branch.
He Shi pondered. Qin Han said, "Mother, Jiang Mo and I have helped the family a lot. Jiang Mo and my children are ordinary people, and they have finally gotten a chance to awaken. It is exactly when they need resources. If the maiden home doesn't have any, that's fine, but since there are spirit poultry ducks with mild spiritual energy, why can't you give me one or two?"
He Shi thought for a moment, "You go back first."
Seeing He Shi's expression soften, Qin Han got up and left. Qin Han returned home and sent someone to the Marquis Manor with fifty bars of soap. Usually, Qin Han wouldn't be this generous, but there was really nowhere else to get cultivation resources.
Cultivation was difficult, and cultivation resources could not be bought with things from the mortal world.
Qin Han had pondered that it was best to go to the low-grade Beast Realm small space to train after awakening spiritual roots. Once the initial training was passed, one could enter the path of cultivation, at least to grasp a little bit of the way of cultivation.
However, Qin Han didn't dare to take risks. The Beast Realm small space was not so much full of dangers as it was full of murderous intent; killing people for treasures was too common. Qin Han would only be terrified if she went to the Beast Realm small space, let alone Jiang Mo and Jiang Ren.
If her husband and children went, Qin Han could worry herself to death.
Her father, Qin Di, could sit at home and wait for cultivation resources, so why couldn't Jiang Mo and Jiang Ren? Qin Han also wanted to imitate her father, Qin Di. If Jiang Mo and Jiang Ren didn't go to the Beast Realm small space to take risks, they had to find other ways to get cultivation resources.
He Shi originally wanted to call Qin Bi over, but after thinking about it, Qin Bi had children, so she simply sent Qin Tang and Jiang Shi over. Lin Shi and Qin Lang heard about it and followed along, also bringing a few Qin family children.
Qin Bi was looking for a summoning artifact that had drawn streams. She wanted to farm. Winter was coming, so she could only plant some Chinese cabbage or something. Wheat had already been planted, and once it got cold, nothing would grow.
Little Tuanzi had gone to the Yan Guogong Fu, and the Heir Apparent Rong and Rongyang had followed. She didn't know what they went to do. If there was nothing, they didn't need to all go to the Yan Guogong Fu.
She had already told Rongyang that she wanted to farm, and Little Tuanzi had still followed them away.
When Qin Tang and his wife, Lin Shi, and Qin Lang arrived, Qin Bi put down the summoning artifact and went to the courtyard. The sun was good today, so it wasn't cold to entertain guests in the courtyard, but it would be cold by mid-afternoon.
The maid served tea. Qin Tang drank a sip and explained their purpose, "Qin Bi, Qin Han wants to find cultivation resources for Jiang Mo and Jiang Ren. She has no way, so she can only set her sights on the spirit poultry ducks. Qin Han has asked Mother several times, but Mother hasn't agreed. Jiang Mo and Jiang Ren can now practice cultivation, but they haven't entered the path yet, so they really need to eat things with spiritual energy. Look, how about giving her a few spirit poultry ducks?"
Lin Shi also said, "Mother gives one spirit poultry duck, the elder brother gives one, and your second brother gives one. Eating these will be good for Jiang Mo and Jiang Ren."
The reason they were discussing this with Qin Bi was because the spirit poultry ducks of Qin Di and his wife were all given by Qin Bi, so they had to let her know.
Qin Bi said, "No."
"This..." Jiang Shi hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Qin Bi, you also know that at the beginning, neither the Heir Apparent Rong nor the Heir Apparent He cared about the Fourth Branch, so the Fourth Branch didn't have much income. Qin Han married a merchant and is not short of money. In these years, Jiang Mo has given Mother money from time to time. It's not justifiable not to give even one spirit poultry duck."
Why did the Marquis Manor's young lady marry a merchant? It was for the financial support of the Jiang family behind her.
In recent years, the Jiang family not only often gave money to the Fourth Branch, but Jiang Mo also had some methods in opening shops and had given many suggestions to the Xue Wang Fu and the Qin Yan Hou Fu. The shops could have today's achievements, and Jiang Mo had contributed a lot.
Qin Bi had a headache again, "But, the spirit poultry ducks were given by me to Father and Mother."
Qin Han didn't ask her, but asked He Shi, which meant she didn't feel she owed her a favor.
This kind of thinking, could it be spoiled? With Qin Bi, it couldn't be spoiled.
Seeing Qin Bi pressing her forehead, Qin Lang asked with concern, "Jiejie, what's wrong with you?"
"Headache." Qin Bi said to Qin Tang, "Eldest brother, don't make things difficult for me. I can't afford to exhaust my heart and mind."
Qin Tang nodded and stopped mentioning it, "Fine, only Qin Xun and I will each give Qin Han one spirit poultry duck, that's two. Qin Han doesn't want Jiang Mo and Jiang Ren to go to the Beast Realm small space to train, and only wants to ask for resources from others, which is not a long-term solution."
Anyone could exhaust their heart and mind, but not Qin Bi; her lifespan had already been damaged.
Everyone drank tea and chatted. Qin Han and Qin He really had a good relationship. The reason Jiang Mo and Jiang Ren awakened was because of the Spirit-Condensing Pill provided by Qin He. Jiang Mo being able to awaken was a good thing for the Fourth Branch.
Qin Lang couldn't understand, so he asked Qin Bi, "Jiejie, I just don't understand, why were the Heir Apparent Rong and the Heir Apparent He both cold and indifferent to the Fourth Branch at the beginning? The Heir Apparent He is the Fourth Aunt's own nephew, and the Heir Apparent Rong also first discussed marriage with the Fourth Branch's legitimate daughter. Why did they both neglect the Fourth Branch? The Heir Apparent Rong even said that the future Shizifei would still be chosen from the Fourth Branch, so why did they ignore the Fourth Branch?"
Because of the actions of the two heirs of powerful officials, the Fourth Branch had not had an easy time in those years.
Qin Bi didn't know either. Jiang Shi still had to go home to catch spirit poultry ducks for Qin Han, so she called Lin Shi and left first. Qin Tang and Qin Lang didn't leave, and the few children also stayed. The maid served melon and fruit for the children to eat.
The Heir Apparent Rong returned from the Yan Guogong Fu, sat down, and talked to Qin Tang and the others. Learning that Qin Han had asked He Shi for spirit poultry ducks, the Heir Apparent Rong raised his eyebrows, "Jiang Mo doesn't want to go to the Beast Realm small space to train."
Qin Tang nodded, "Qin Han is worried."
The Heir Apparent Rong said, "Asking you for them, it's taken for granted."
Qin Tang explained, "Jiang Mo has helped the Fourth Branch a lot in these years."
The Heir Apparent Rong didn't speak anymore. After all, he was a powerful official, and he understood in his heart.
Qin Bi asked directly about what Qin Lang had just said, "Our Fourth Branch has treated you well. Heir Apparent Rong, why are you cold and indifferent to the Fourth Branch? You don't seem to care much about the Marquis Manor either."
The Heir Apparent Rong glanced at Qin Bi, "You really want to know?"
Qin Bi didn't speak. Qin Tang and Qin Lang's eyes were eager. Qin Lang said, "I want to know, why? You and our Marquis Manor have already agreed that the Shizifei would be chosen from the Marquis Manor, yet you don't treat our Marquis Manor well."
Afterwards, Qin Lang muttered in a low voice, "Especially not treating the Fourth Branch well."
The Heir Apparent Rong's expression was indifferent, and he didn't mind telling the Qin family, "At the beginning, it was agreed that my Shizifei must come from the Fourth Branch, but the women chosen by the Marquis Manor in these years did not come from the Fourth Branch."
He, the dignified Heir Apparent Rong, was being treated so perfunctorily by the Marquis Manor.
Qin Tang was dumbfounded and said blankly, "Except for Qin Han, the ages were not suitable, and you didn't like Qin Han, so we could only choose from the Marquis Manor." ===== CHAPTER 371 =====
