Chapitre 7: A Girl’s Cry
Éditeur: Dragon Boat Translation
Wei Chi had already confirmed that he could make some beautiful clothes with the help of others, so the problem this time was very simple. He needed to promote these clothes, but these clothes couldn't only be promoted by his second brother. Although the women's clothes looked very beautiful as Wei Chi's second brother wore them, Wei Fei still didn't want his children and wife to see this appearance even if he died.
"Hey, what a stubborn person." Wei Chi walked around in his yard.
"If I didn't want to ruin my image in front of my disciple, I would have gone out to perform."
"Why don't you earn money? Don't slack off."
Wei Chi slightly sensed his cultivation base.
His cultivation base had already reached the eighth stage of the mortal realm, but Shen Qinghan was still more powerful. She was really an obedient little girl.
Therefore, Wei Chi was going to find a companion for Shen Qinghan since there were no critical issues at the moment.
At least, it was a little lonely to cultivate alone.
A male disciple was skipped over. He didn't want to cause trouble in his own sect.
He could just find a female disciple directly.
When they reached the foundation establishment stage, he would think of a way to hold a fashion convention and make a name for himself in Xufu Town first.
As for finding the disciples of the sect, Wei Chi felt that he couldn't do it in Xufu Town.
He needed to go somewhere far away from Xufu Town so that it would be easier for him to do things.
Wei Chi didn't want others to know his identity, or else, it would be hard to explain the origin of his immortal sect.
So, he first meditated for ten breaths and teleported to the sect. Then, before Shen Qinghan could react, he immediately ran away.
He gritted his teeth.
He bought a flying sword from the immortal stone. At first, the flying sword didn't run smoothly, and they bumped against each other. After some time, Wei Chi could stand on the flying sword, and the speed became much faster.
However, he still complained, "Is the maximum height of the flying sword so low? It's so close to the ground, just like a skateboard."
"I can't accelerate it to 100 kilometers per hour. It takes at least 20 seconds for 0 to 100 kilometers per hour."
"It's not as good as my 125-gauge curved beam motorcycle."
In reality, it was because his cultivation base was not good enough. He couldn't ride a sword at the eighth level of the mortal realm, but he had played with it for a long time!
One could imagine that if his body could be cultivated, his comprehension ability would be quite powerful!
But now, it could not be praised.
Wei Chi stepped on the flying sword and drifted through the mountains. After a few hours, he looked for a path and jumped out of a bush. He jumped off a cliff and threw himself into a large river.
'Wuhu!'
He almost died.
...
In Xufu Town, after Qian Wensi was saved, he would surely hold a banquet. The banquet was held at the Wei family. This was also Qian Wensi's meeting with the Wei family. People who simply had a little bit of knowledge and experience in the business knew that the Wei family had a good relationship with his Twelve Chain Docks. Naturally, they wouldn't cause any trouble in the dark. For this reason, the Wei family had also prepared a lot!
In another courtyard.
"Why hasn't our third brother come? Where did he go?" Wei Fei couldn't help but ask.
Beside him was a little girl. The little girl was about 5 or 6 years old. She had perfectly inherited Wei Fei's beauty. Now, at such a young age, she was very cute and well-behaved.
"Third Brother said that he had some things to deal with. After searching around Wei manor, we still haven't found any traces of him." The eldest brother, Wei Zhe, continued with a smile, "But don't worry, our third brother isn't a person who holds grudges. As long as you don't gamble in the future, our third brother won't do anything to you, and he won't tell anyone about you wearing female clothes."
"Haha..." Wei Fei's face was a little red.
He looked at the little girl beside him with some hesitation.
Wei Zhe understood. "Is this little girl your daughter?"
"Yes," Wei Fei said. "She doesn't have a name yet. I'm going to ask our third brother to help her choose a name..."
"Really?" Wei Zhe looked at the little girl who seemed a little scared. There was no need to talk about serious matters. Instead, he asked Wei Fei in a low voice, "Who is her mother?"
Wei Fei's face was red, and it was difficult for him to answer.
"Don't tell me you don't know who she is?!" Wei Zhe was shocked. He resembled a scholar who was so angry that his beard was about to fly up.
"Indeed, I don't know. Anyway, she appeared out of nowhere. Then, they all said that this is my child, and then, I just admitted it. After all, she looks very similar to me, doesn't she?" Wei Fei said.
Wei Zhe felt that he had read a lot of books in his life!
Even so, he was still stimulated at this moment.
They?
Alas!
How many women did Wei Fei have relations with?!
Considering that Wei Fei's female companions all came from some romantic places, the origin of this child really couldn't be confirmed.
"Great!"
Wei Fei, you were truly amazing!
Even the mother of the child was unknown. Could it be that she only wanted you to be the father?
This thought was truly broad-minded.
Even if the Wei manor didn't lack this pair of chopsticks, they still needed to know who this little girl's mother was.
"Big Brother, don't tell our third brother about this kind of thing," Wei Fei whispered.
"Why? Are you afraid of our third brother?" Wei Zhe said unhappily.
"I'm a little afraid." Wei Fei looked at his little finger. His little finger had almost recovered, but its strength had decreased quite a bit.
"Hey, you can't do this again in the future." Wei Zhe patted his shoulder. "But since things have come to this point, let's wait for our third brother to come back and talk about the specific situation. She might be your child. You still need to treat her better. Don't put on that annoying attitude."
"I won't." Wei Fei was determined. "I already treat her as my daughter!"
"Alright then, let's go. Even if our third brother didn't pay much attention to this matter, it has truly caused a ruckus. Let's go over to receive the guests, and at the same time, find a suitable reason for our third brother!"
"Alright!"
...
"Why aren't we welcomed?"
The girl appeared to be around 16 or 17 years old. She was an upright and beautiful young lady. She wore light green clothes, and there was a soft ribbon around her small waist. Her nose bridge was tall and straight while her skin was exquisite. Her autumn water eyes carried a little firmness that was unique to young ladies. She was a rather three-dimensional and beautiful young lady.
She was Qi Yuan'er.
According to her understanding, Wei Chi should have an engagement with her, but why did the Wei family not seem to see her after she arrived at the Wei family?
Especially her father, Qi Bai. He was sitting at the corner of the table, clearly embarrassed.
Under her questioning, Qi Bai finally carefully told her about the situation.
It turned out that previously, because of the matter about the Twelve Chain Docks and some business problems, he had come directly to look for the Wei family's head, Xu Bing who was also Wei Chi's father, to break off the engagement.
The others agreed without saying anything.
He never expected that in the end, not only did Qian Wensi of the Twelve Chain Docks come back to life, he even forced the other heads to come to the Wei family as guests. This was simply giving the Wei family enough face.
Qi Bai couldn't miss the advantage of this opportunity to curry favor with the Twelve Chain Docks, so he dared to come over with an apology.
The beautiful eyes of Qi Yuan'er were shocked!
She understood.
She instantly got it. So, as it turned out, her father had annulled her marriage!?
No wonder other people treated her so harshly!
Not to mention other people, even if it was herself, she still did not have the face to stay in other people's homes!
"Father, you should stay here. I don't dare to face Uncle Xu Bing!" She angrily left the Wei Family, which was surrounded by several layers of walls.
Qi Bai laughed dryly. He still chose to stay.
He put the matter of his daughter aside.
The business was the most important.
He hurried over to the other heads of the Twelve Consecutive Docks. He was already familiar with them from the past.
On the other hand, Qi Yuan'er was walking on the street, looking at the lively scene behind her and then at the carriages heading toward the Wei family. Her mood was a mess now!
"After this matter is over, I need to talk to Wei Chi. I won't say what can be saved, only express my apologies."
She smiled bitterly.
She left by herself in the carriage.
For a large town like Xufu Town, there was only one way for a lady from a wealthy family to get married, and that was to find a partner of equal status. This sounded very simple, and there were no requirements for a woman.
But in reality, it was the exact opposite.
A woman needed to be proficient in all kinds of life skills, and she also needed to have a certain degree of control over zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
She also needed to be proficient in arithmetic.
Only in this way could she cooperate with her husband and slowly expand their business.
So, for Qi Yuan'er, even if she had never met Wei Chi before, she did not know how much effort she had to develop before the marriage. That is all for the sake of waiting until the day of the engagement banquet, to let Wei Chi, the third young master of the Wei family, have a better impression of her.
And today, when she found out that she could see Wei Chi in advance, she was quite happy. She even got the servant girl to help her dress up properly.
Her already lovely face was even more beautiful.
In the end, she came over uneasily.
And then?
It was all ruined.
She knew that the Qi family did indeed have some problems in their business right now. There were many things to overcome, and there would be some acts of fence-sitters, but she couldn't joke about her marriage!
How would she get married in the future?
Would other people want such a girl?
They wouldn't!
Thinking of the grievance in her heart, she sat alone in the carriage and went back crying.
