The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

Lin Manqing originally thought it was Wang Baishun, but Hou Qigui said "Master Qin" instead of "Master Xi".

She was very curious as to why there were so many "masters" in Panjiayuan who bought and sold by force!

"Who is Master Qin?"

"Master Qin's name is Qin Shuyi, and he is the master of the Cemen."

"Master of Ceremony?" Lin Manqing didn't quite understand and didn't know what it was.

Hou Qigui explained: "In the past, those who made a living in the world of antiques, calligraphy and painting, and treasure appraisal were collectively called Cemen, and they even included those who dug mountains and robbed tombs. Most of those who did business in Panjiayuan and Liulichang all year round were He can be regarded as a member of the registered sect. And Master Qin is the leader of the registered sect today. According to the past name, he is the sect leader and the boss. But now in the new society, there is no more social customs and organizations of the old era. Xing called it like this, but the rules of the clan are still there. When there are disputes and difficult-to-solve problems, Master Qin will be asked to come forward. In this industry, there is no matter that Master Qin can't settle."

Lin Manqing said: "So, this Master Qin is very powerful?"

Hou Qigui said: "Yes, otherwise how can we call him the master of the sect. His name as a master not only refers to his vision and skill in the antique industry, but he is also a true martial arts master. In the martial arts world, His reputation is no worse than that of Grandmaster Xiao Minghe."

"The master is in charge, and the clan leader is the leader. Logically speaking, even if such a family is not as good as the Western Family, it must be famous in Beijing. How come I have never heard of this Master Qin, nor have I heard that there is a Qin family in the capital? Lin Manqing said strangely.

Hou Qigui said with a smile: "Madam, you don't know something. Mr. Qin has always kept a low profile, and his name is only known in the martial arts and sect circles. You are not from the world, so it is normal that you have never heard of it. Moreover, Mr. Qin has never married and has no children. Naturally, we can’t talk about a family.”

Lin Manqing suddenly said: "I see. Then this Mr. Qin can be regarded as a strange person in the world, but I am very surprised. How could such a person like one of your bracelets and buy and sell it by force?"

Hou Qigui sighed and said: "How could Mr. Qin take a fancy to this bracelet? There is no way he would come to my shop. The thing is, although Mr. Qin has no children, he has a lot of disciples and grandchildren. He also recognized his godson. One of them, Rong Guangjie, was a close disciple of Master Qin and was very favored by Master Qin. Rong Guangjie also often comes to Panjiayuan to play, and he also has his shop in Ximen Film."

"Did Rong Guangjie take a fancy to your bracelet?"

"It's not Rong Guangjie." Hou Qigui shook his head and said, "If Rong Guangjie can still handle it, I will ask someone to help deliver a message, or go there in person to accompany him. With his status, he will not embarrass me. Bad. The bad thing is that it's not him, but his new girlfriend, named Yang Lili. Rong Guangjie is good at everything, but he has lost his mind when it comes to women. Whatever the woman he likes wants from him, he is willing to give it to him, and No matter the cost."

"Then Master Qin doesn't care?"

"Who would tell Mr. Qin about such a trivial matter? Wouldn't that offend someone! Rong Guangjie is Mr. Qin's most beloved disciple, his godson, and he is raised as his own son. If Mr. Qin knows about it, he can at most say something to him How can he and his girlfriend brag about it with just a few words? This is something that offends people, and no one will do it. And it’s not that Rong Guangjie doesn’t pay, on the contrary, he spends quite generously. It’s just that everyone gives Mr. Qin face. , it’s impossible to overprice him, we all pay according to the cost, and sometimes we even suffer a small loss.”

"Then just offer a high price and let him quit." Lin Manqing said, "If he really buys it, you will make a lot of money."

Hou Qigui shook his head repeatedly: "I am not short of money. I have accumulated a reputation in Panjiayuan for decades, and I cannot let this ruin it. Besides, I really don't want to sell this bracelet."

Lin Manqing was somewhat impressed by Hou Qigui. She found that Boss Hou had both the shrewdness that a businessman should have and a rare sense of righteousness. No wonder Li Muchen valued him so much and wanted to win over him.

"When did Yang Lili come?" she asked.

"Yang Lili hasn't come yet. It was Boss Yang next door who came to talk to me. Boss Yang and she are from the same hometown."

"No one is here, and you just ask someone to bring you a message, and then force you to buy your things. Isn't this a bit crazy?" Lin Manqing shook her head and said, "It is indeed the capital, and anyone can do it!"

"Madam, you are joking." Hou Qigui smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly, "I am also from the capital, but I dare not call myself a master."

Lin Manqing picked up the teacup, took a sip of it, put it on the table, and made a squeaking sound. Then she looked at Hou Qigui and said:

"From today on, you are my father."

"What?" Hou Qigui looked at Lin Manqing in confusion.

Lin Manqing pointed to the bracelet on the table and said, "No one can buy this thing as long as you don't want to sell it!"

Lin Manqing's words were a bit domineering, and Hou Qigui was dumbfounded.

But when he thought about it, Hou Qigui suddenly became excited when he thought of Li Muchen's abilities.

Not because of saving the bracelet, but because of Lin Manqing's words, "From today on, you are the master."

How could he be the one who opened a store in Panjiayuan?

unless……

Hou Qigui realized the purpose of Lin Manqing's visit today.

"Madam, I..." Hou Qigui didn't know how to answer this. He wanted to hide his inner excitement, but found that even his voice was trembling.

Lin Manqing said this not out of arrogance, nor out of whim. She understood that she was actually here today on behalf of Li Muchen.

Her words were naturally spoken on behalf of Li Muchen.

Li Muchen fell in love with Boss Hou and felt that he could be used. After the conversation just now, Lin Manqing also felt that this person could be used.

The Li family in the capital is about to be revived, and it is the right time to employ people.

If even Boss Hou can't solve this trivial matter at this time, then there will be no talk of reviving the first family in the capital.

The arrival of Lin Yun and Yan Jing made Lin Manqing understand that Li Muchen might have arrived a long time ago, and she would be in trouble when she came to Panjiayuan today, so she specifically asked Lin Yun to call Yan Jing as well.

Lin Manqing knew the power of these two boys joining forces.

As long as they are here, no one can bully their sister unless the master takes action.

Of course, Lin Manqing did not say that she placed all her hopes on her two younger brothers. She also wanted to test her own strength in the past six months of cultivation.

Even if Lin Yunhe didn't come, she would still say this to Hou Qigui.

The eldest lady, who grew up in the Lin family in Hecheng, at this moment, showed off the domineering aura she had cultivated from her childhood.

"Boss Hou, remember, from now on, you are the master! If you don't want to sell the bracelet, let alone Yang Lili, even if Master Qin comes in person, he still can't buy it! I said this, Li Muchen's wife said of!"
