The stepsister of a peasant family in a book is spoiled by the big brothers

Chapter 572 Old Friend

The Chinese New Year is approaching, and in order to complete the government's tasks before the New Year, all the officials are busy as a whirlwind.

The business of the food street is getting better and better. It has become an important check-in point for outsiders visiting Beijing, and the significance of Qin Huiyin, the little god of wealth, is still rising.

"Send all these things over there for me." Qin Huiyin handed a booklet to Song Yi.

The booklet contained a list of the things she was going to give away, such as 50,000 taels of silver, 10,000 fine swords, 50,000 fine arrows, and so on.

During the Chinese New Year, she had to give her brother some New Year gifts. Instead of giving something superficial, it would be better to give something with high practical value.

Song Yi to Song Si were her right-hand men, and these matters were handled by them. As for manpower, Song Ruize had plenty of them. She provided the money and materials, and Song Ruize provided the manpower. The couple worked together without getting tired.

"Madam, someone has brought a New Year's gift." Zhilan said, stepping aside to reveal the person behind her.

"Sister Ouyang..." Qin Huiyin was so excited when she saw Ouyang Qianyu that she stood up and walked towards her.

Ouyang Qianyu was still dressed in a heroic manner, and said with a smile: "We finally meet. Yinyin, did you miss me?"

"Of course." Qin Huiyin took Ouyang Qianyu's hand and said, "Why did you come to Beijing? Are you... okay?"

"And me." Zhuge Congfeng walked in from outside, leaned against the door, crossed his arms, and said lazily, "An old friend is here, are you welcome?"

"What kind of old friend are you?" Qin Huiyin said with disdain.

"You promised me your love when you were still in my belly. At that time, I was lying on Madam Puyang's belly listening to your movements. Doesn't that count as an old friend?"

"Congfeng, Yinyin is married now. Don't mention the past. Be careful not to upset someone." Ouyang Qianyu reminded.

"I didn't come here to steal your marriage, but you're upset just by mentioning it. That man is too stingy. I think you'd better get married soon..."

Bang! A dagger flew over and stabbed into the door behind him.

Song Ruize, dressed in official uniform, strode over, followed by a number of subordinates, looking majestic and dignified.

He walked over, put his arm around Qin Huiyin's shoulders, and looked at Zhuge Congfeng sharply: "If your skin itches, I can peel it off for you."

"You're so scary, aren't you afraid of scaring Yinyin away?" Zhuge Congfeng said, "Yinyin, this man is so cruel, he's not a good person."

"It's enough for him to be nice to me. He doesn't have to be too nice to others. Since ancient times, those who are too nice have died miserably." Qin Huiyin hugged Song Ruize's arm.

Zhuge Congfeng sneered, "You Puyang family are all sentimental people. Once you make up your mind, you're stubborn. I've already accepted my fate and won't tease you anymore."

"Why are you in Beijing?" Qin Huiyin said, "I just prepared some New Year gifts and was about to ask Song Yi and the others to deliver them to you."

"We finished some business outside and were about to return to the Wuxiang League. When we passed Qingyang City, we thought it would only take two days to get to the capital, so we changed our route and came here. We wanted to see you and then go back so your brother wouldn't be thinking about you all day. This time when we go back, we can tell your brother about your recent situation." Ouyang Qianyu said, "Of course, the most important thing is that I also want to see you."

"You guys came at the right time. If you were here, I wouldn't have to ask Song Yi to arrange for someone to send you to the Wuxiang League."

Qin Huiyin said this and stretched out her hand towards Song Yi.

Song handed her the letter.

She handed the memorial back to Ouyang Qianyu.

"This is the New Year gift I prepared for you. I hope you like it."

Ouyang Qianyu took it, opened it, and her eyes widened.

"Tens of thousands of taels of silver is already an exorbitant price, and you've also given us so many weapons and ammunition. Furthermore, there are winter clothes and food, all of which are in short supply."

"Yinyin is really thoughtful." Song Ruize said, "I originally wanted to send some horses over, and it's just right to add them to your booklet."

"I can get those supplies and silver, but manpower and horses are not something that can be bought with money. You are the best." Qin Huiyin hugged Song Ruize's arm and acted coquettishly.

Ouyang Qianyu looked at this golden boy and beautiful girl and said to Zhuge Congfeng, "See? This is a match made in heaven. But that young lady from the Nalan family is also quite lovely. She's been pestering you all day since she saw you. The entire Wuxiang League knows that she fell in love with you at first sight. The most important thing is that the dog she raises also likes you. Doesn't she have the potential to become the mistress of the Zhuge family?"

Qin Huiyin looked over and asked curiously, "Nalan You?"

"That's right! Didn't you ask us to take in their family?" Ouyang Qianyu said, "Congfeng went to pick her up, and she fell in love with him at first sight!"

"Miss Nalan is very good." Qin Huiyin praised.

"There are so many beautiful girls in the world. Do you think I'll marry them all?" Zhuge Congfeng sneered. "If you don't want to fulfill the engagement, then don't. There's no need to act like a matchmaker and force someone on me. Are you afraid I'll snatch you away and ruin your marriage to your husband?"

Qin Huiyin: "..."

Zhuge Congfeng turned and left.

Ouyang Qianyu frowned and said to Qin Huiyin, "We will stay at the Penglai Inn for the time being. If you have anything, you can come to us. I will go see him."

Qin Huiyin looked at Song Ruize and snuggled in his arms: "I really shouldn't have said too much just now. Everyone can make fun of him, but I can't."

"They've been looking for you all these years, and he, as your fiancé appointed by the elders, has always abided by this engagement. Now that he's finally found his fiancée, but she's marrying someone else, it's really a bit cruel for him. However, this is a fact he must accept, no matter how difficult the process, he has to accept this result. In fact, he's just a little unwilling. After all, our Yinyin is so good, who would be willing to give her up to someone else?"

"Since I'm so good, you should hold me tight, otherwise if I'm snatched away by someone else, you won't even have a place to cry."

"Yes! My little lady." Song Ruize kissed her lips. "Although he makes me very unhappy, but seeing how pitiful he is, I will reluctantly let him go. I will send someone to pick them up later and let them stay at the Song Mansion for a few days. I will show my hospitality and discuss the tasks they need to complete next year."

At night, Qin Huiyin prepared a banquet at the Song Mansion. When everything was ready, Song Ruize came back with Ouyang Qianyu and Zhuge Congfeng.

"You've returned just in time. The rabbit hotpot I prepared is ready," Qin Huiyin said. "I originally wanted to make mutton, but since a certain young master isn't used to it, I chose the tender rabbit. Master Zhuge, will this put a smile on your face?"
