"This Qin family is too capable. Not only do they have good brains and lots of good ideas, but they can also get things done every time... I have a lot of family members and a lot of ideas, but I have never been able to accomplish anything I planned!"

"The Qin family can accomplish things because they have made many acquaintances with noble people, and they always have noble people to help them!"

"The Qin family has indeed made many acquaintances with noble people... Boss Xue, Young Master Huang, Zhou Bantou's father, Madam Guan's grandparents, and the great noble families such as Wen, Jin, Jie, Kang, Yan, Qu, Weng, Shan, and Jia all help the Qin family. Third Master Qu was afraid that the Huang sisters' case would implicate the Qin family, so he came to the county government to support the Qin family!"

"We are all human beings, why is it that only the Qin family is favored by nobles? My family is not bad either!" The person who said this was so jealous that he wished he was a member of the Qin family.

Even more sour than him is Young Master Tang from the cloth shop in the county town.

When the Qin family started to make new dyes, the Tang family also tried to compete for it. Unfortunately, in front of many wealthy merchants, the Tang family was not good enough and was kicked out directly.

"What did the Qin family do before they fled the famine? Why are they so powerful?" someone became curious.

Tang Boyang was also very curious and listened attentively.

Someone knew about this and immediately said, "The government has already investigated and they say he is a rich peasant. Mr. Qin was a soldier. He is not only good at martial arts, but also has the skill to treat livestock diseases. The deceased eldest son was a doctor, and the second son who was just found was a successful candidate in the imperial examination, but unfortunately he was caught cheating in the examination. The third son who died was even more skilled. If he hadn't caused trouble, he would have been a clerk in the local government..."

"Oh my, this family is almost not a farming family, but a noble family, no wonder they know so much!"

There were also jealous and hateful people who said: "Aristocratic family is bullshit, the second son of the Qin family was caught cheating in the exam, and all his previous fame is gone. The Qin family is just a group of refugees from famine, what's so great about them!"

Someone retorted: "It's not that they want to flee the famine, it's that God doesn't give people in that area a way to survive, so in order to survive, they can only flee the famine and look for food."

"And the Qin family was able to survive the famine and live such a good life, which is amazing!"

"What's wrong with you? You're a local, why do you always speak up for the disaster victims from other places? Do you want to marry the refugees? Oh, if you tell others, they will despise you to death!"

"Hey, how do you talk..."

As the crowd talked, they started to quarrel and even started pushing each other. Young Master Tang was almost pushed down and hurriedly retreated back to his family's cloth shop.

As soon as he arrived at the cloth shop, he saw Master Tang coming to get the silver again. He was so angry that he rushed over and snatched the money box, saying angrily: "Dad, our family is no longer the same as before. We have to live frugally. Don't secretly take money to support other women!"

Mr. Tang was embarrassed and angry when his son exposed him in public for keeping a mistress. He pushed Mr. Tang away and scolded him, "You unfilial son, you are meddling in your father's affairs!"

After what happened at Fenfangyuan, Mr. Tang no longer dared to go to a brothel to have fun.

But life is full of joy. He found two good widows and is now enjoying themselves with them.

"You've squandered money on this matter, so I should have said something!" Young Master Tang was very angry and sad. He said, "Dad, can't you learn from Old Man Qin? Even when he was fleeing famine, he was still indomitable! Dad, cheer up, you're not old yet, you're at the right age to fight!"

Young Master Tang was full of passion, but Old Master Tang thought he was sick: "Our family doesn't have to flee famine, nor do we have to worry about food and clothing, so why should I work so hard?"

Mr. Qin fought so hard because the Qin family was poor.

"..." Young Master Tang choked.

While he was stunned, Master Tang took away two rolls of red cloth and ran out of the cloth shop: "Take care of the business. Dad is going out for some socializing and won't be home for dinner tonight. Tell your mother!"

“……” Young Master Tang was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses and banged his head against the counter in anger.

Bang bang bang.

Why can't his family be as united as the Qin family?

Why is his father so useless? !

And his mother, who only knew how to find a wife for him all day long, even wanted him to marry a girl from a prominent family in the capital.

He is so shameless that he doesn't even realize it.

As he had two concubines before getting married, no one would marry him, not even the good girls in the county, let alone the girls from the big families in the prefecture. When he bought the sex grass, he even flirted with the young master Qin, and even wanted to make the girls from the Qin family his concubines.

Now that I think about it, Mr. Qin didn't beat him to a disability and really obeyed the law.

Young Master Tang was feeling depressed when the sound of a gong was heard.

Dangdang Dangdang!

The shopkeepers on the same street all ran out to see what was going on: "What's going on? Whose wedding is coming?"

"Stopped in front of Zhang's shop!"

"Oh, I remember now. The day before yesterday, the second son of the Zhang family took the civil service examination. Here are the results!"

"Which place? I heard that the first place winner can directly enter the county government as a clerk."

The others were demoted to the town clerks. After all, there was a big difference between county clerks and town clerks, and not everyone could enter the county government.

Soon someone said, "It's third place. What a pity. They were just two places short. I'm afraid the Zhang family will have to spend a lot of money again this time."

With such a ranking, if you want to enter the county government, you have to spend money to get in.

"Who's the first place?!" the neighbors asked curiously.

The civil servant examination was a big event in the county, so some people had already gone to the county government office to look at the list. At this moment, someone replied, "He's from Shuanghe Town, his name is Bai Yongjing... I heard he's related to the county magistrate!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became excited and started talking a lot. They soon found out that County Magistrate Feng had a daughter-in-law whose surname was Bai.

Oh wow, everyone looked at each other with understanding.

However, this kind of thing has happened a lot in history, and everyone is used to it.

"Do you know who is the second place?!" the boy who ran to see the civil servant examination list suddenly asked, with an expression that said "quickly ask me".

The big guy said, "Tsk, everyone has always only known the first place, who cares who is the second place?"

The boy got angry, jumped up and shouted: "I'll tell you and scare you to death, the second one is from the Qin family, a disaster victim, his name is Qin Cunquan!"

It must be unexpected, shocking, and terrifying.

After hearing this, everyone was really scared: "Actually, they are the victims of the disaster!"

The notice to extend the monitoring of the settled disaster victims came out just a few days ago, why did the county government let a settled disaster victim work as a clerk? Shouldn't they suppress him?

And it was given the second place... Could it be that the government wanted to warn the locals?

This street is full of people doing business, and there are no stupid people. Soon someone said, "The Huang sisters were also forced by the Wu and Wu families..."

Someone agreed: "That's right, we are all from Wei, and the refugees are cultivating their own land, so we didn't get any of our good land. We can't hate all the refugees just because of one thing."

"Manager Xu's words make sense, and the Qin family brought nine major merchants to our Tianfu County. This year, we have made a lot of money because of the merchants' caravans."

Especially in winter, due to the inconvenience in transporting goods, merchants opened several dyeing workshops in the county town... These dyeing workshops had to spend money on food, drink, and toilet expenses, and the shops in their county benefited from this.

"The Qin family must be a family of great virtue, which is why they have produced so many talented people."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Everyone happily praised the Qin family.

After hearing this, Young Master Tang regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

If he had not been so contemptuous of others and had not been so eager to scheme against the Qin girls, but had instead made sincere friends with them, even if he still could not get a share of the new dye business, he would have been able to make good friends with the Qin family and gain a capable friend for his family, which would benefit future generations.
