Chapter 85 Return to Qinghefang
After receiving the family order, Song Qingming packed up his luggage and went down the mountain without delay, preparing to go to Qinghefang to take over the family industry there.
Before leaving, Song Qingming made a special trip back to his home in Mujiao Town to check with his parents and family that he was safe.
After four years of not returning home, Song Qingming's parents have also aged a lot. Seeing that the two elders are still in good health, Song Qingming also let go of a trace of worry in his heart. On the second day after arriving home, his mother specially called Song Qingming. The second sister and her family had a peaceful reunion dinner.
Second Sister Song Qingming has been out of the court for more than ten years. The brother-in-law she found is a bit dull and a well-known teacher in the town. After getting married, the two of them are quite affectionate, and until now Already gave birth to three children.
Song Qingming, brother-in-law, had an immortal in his family three generations ago, but that elder had passed away. Now the family fortune has slowly declined, and it is no longer as good as the prosperous Song family.
As for the Song family, as long as the immortal Song Qingming does not have any accidents, he will definitely be able to ensure that their family will grow old safely in Mujiao Town.
The second sister had a rather fiery temper when she was a child. When she first got married, due to her mother's family being very powerful, she was also very assertive in her husband's family. She was scolded by her mother every time she came home, but now she has a hot temper. It has become much more restrained.
The fourth brother's family has not given the second elder any worries in recent years. The fourth brother has a virtuous sister-in-law, but he is still not satisfied. He insists on imitating those rich children and having two concubines. Until now, the whole family is always noisy in the house. It goes on and on, and his mother can still help him calm down the situation. He doesn't know what kind of chaos it will become in the future. Song Qingming doesn't often stay in a secular home, and he doesn't bother to care about such trivial matters. As long as they don't touch his bottom line, Nor would he open his mouth to rebuke them.
After staying at home for a few days, Song Qingming locked up his small house again, said goodbye to his parents, and went to Qinghefang in the west of Qinghe County.
After walking in a hurry for a day, Song Qingming finally arrived at Qinghefang. After registering his identity at the door, Song Qingming quickly walked into the city. Because he had been practicing outside in the past few years, Song Qingming had not been to Qinghe for almost five years. Square.
Looking at the bustling scene of people coming and going in Fangshi, Song Qingming was also a little surprised. He didn’t expect that Qinghefang would suddenly become much more prosperous than before after he hadn’t been here for several years. No wonder he had just arrived at the gate of Fangshi. At that time, I saw more guarding monks there than before.
We arrived at the Song family's shop in Fangshi by a familiar road. From a distance, Song Qingming saw the busy figure of his fourth uncle Song Changqiu and several shop assistants. The prosperity in Fangshi seemed to bring the Song family with it. This small shop has also become much busier.
"Qingming, you are back. Please go sit in the back hall first. I will come over as soon as I finish my work here." The fourth uncle was recommending the magic talismans in the shop to a young casual cultivator when he saw Song Qingming leaving. After coming in, he quickly greeted a mortal waiter next to him and led Song Qingming to the guest room in the back hall.
Song Qingming only drank half a cup of tea in the room. Song Changqiu had already dismissed the guest and opened the door and walked in with a smile on his face.
"Qing Ming, when did you come back? No one told me how you were doing outside these past few years. I didn't know how to send a message home. I don't know that the clan leaders are always worried about you. "Did the great elder send you here this time?"
As soon as he entered the door, Song Changqiu asked Song Qingming a series of questions, making him not sure what to answer first. Which question could it be? His mind couldn't help but be a little too busy.
"Fourth uncle, don't be anxious. You will know after reading this." After saying that, Song Qingming simply handed the letter from the patriarch to him directly into Song Changqiu's hands. Basically, the answer he wanted was in this letter. After reading the letter in his hand, Song Changqiu still couldn't believe his eyes. After confirming it again and again, he spoke excitedly.
"Uncle Fourth, I never expected that you, Qingming, have already broken through to the late stage of Qi refining. This is really great. I knew you had more future than the rest of us. , I will definitely be no worse than Lao Jiu in the future. I didn’t expect you to catch up with him so soon, and I will call you elder next time.”
Song Qingming quickly shook his hand and said modestly: "Fourth uncle, don't say that. I was sent here by the clan leader for training. For the time being, you have to take charge of the affairs in the store. Seeing how happy you were just now, I think it's... We’ve negotiated a big deal.”
“Haha, no matter how big the deal is, they are all casual cultivators who have not been in Taoism for a long time. How many spirit stones can there be? These people would like to grind a spirit stone with you for a long time. Fortunately, there have been a lot more people in Qinghefang in the past few years, and our business here has also been much better. It seems that we are busier than before. Some."
"I heard from the patriarch that you have rented another shop here, is it also near here?" Song Qingming nodded and asked again.
“It’s right next to our shop. It was originally run by two casual cultivators. Some time ago, they had a disagreement and hung up the shop. I thought it was okay, so I discussed it with the tribe. Just take it down." Song Changqiu pointed to the next door and said.
Next, Song Changqiu and Song Qingming had a good talk about the situation in the market. Only then did Song Qing gradually understand some of the current situation in Qinghefang.
In the past few years, there have been rumors that the monsters from Northern Xinjiang are about to attack, and many casual cultivators who hang out in the Fuyun Mountains have begun to stay away from the cities in Guiyunfang that are adjacent to the Fuyun Mountains.
However, most of these monks who immediately choose to escape as soon as they hear the commotion are relatively low-level casual cultivators. They don't have much confidence even in the face of those middle and low-level monsters. Without the ability to protect them, they could only choose to stay away for the time being, and there were suddenly many such casual cultivators in Qinghefang.
The monster beast turmoil in Northern Xinjiang usually lasts for several years after it starts. The monster beast turmoil has not started yet, and the prosperity of Qinghefang can continue for at least ten years. Song Changqiu also saw this early. After seeing the business opportunity, he took the initiative to suggest that the family buy the store next door.
After the store reopened, the fourth aunt was taking care of it for the time being. Song Changqiu reclassified some groceries from the original Song family store and put them into the new store. This original old store now specializes in selling magic talismans. , elixirs and elixirs are two spiritual items that are widely circulated in the market, plus acquisitions.
"Qing Ming, the next door has just opened and there are a lot of things going on. I will go to help your aunt tomorrow. I will ask you, the elder, to help take care of it first. There are not enough manpower during this period. I still have I hired a casual cultivator to help me. He has been with me for a few months and is familiar with the spiritual objects in the store. He is also an honest person. You can safely leave all the chores in the store to him. "
Song Qingming didn't have any objections to Song Changqiu's arrangements. After all, he had just arrived and was not familiar with the affairs of the store. For the time being, he could only watch from the side and help out. It would take a long time to manage these stores well. It will take a few months to get familiar with the size of the store.
The old patriarch arranged for him to come to Qinghefang this time. In addition to familiarizing him with the family's industry, he also wanted him to have the opportunity to come into contact with other family monks in Qinghe County and become familiar with him. All parties in Qinghe County.
