Chapter 198: Governing the Family and the Country
"Second brother, this is the good son you raised!" Old Master Qi took the teacup and smashed it hard on the table, causing the broken tiles to splash everywhere and the tea to flow all over the floor.
"Second brother." Uncle Qi looked at Uncle Qi with a reproachful look on his face.
"Second brother." Master Qi San looked impatient.
"Boss, go get the family tree." When Qi Canglan heard the word "family tree", he looked at Old Master Qi, his grandfather, who had a sullen face.
"Our century-old family cannot be destroyed because of one person. Even a big tree has dead branches. Such unfilial descendants do not deserve to stay in our Qi family!" Old Madam Qi took the blame for Old Master Qi's anger and turned her head to look at Qi Canglan with disgust.
"That's right! Our ancestors have said that our Qi family is 'the Qi family that governs the country and brings peace to the world'. How can we allow it to be polluted by merchants!" A young scholar from the Qi family said righteously.
"Men are born to study and serve in the court, not to be sinister and treacherous merchants!" Qi Canglan lowered his head and sneered, and a young voice came to his ears again.
He remembered these people, but soon they were no longer his relatives.
"Qi Canglan, expel him from the clan! Don't do anything in the name of the Qi family from now on!" Old Master Qi personally crossed out Qi Canglan's name and looked at his former grandson without a trace of kindness. Just like Old Madam Qi, his eyes were full of disgust and aversion towards him.
"Don't worry! From now on I won't have your surname Qi, I will have my own surname Qi!" From now on, he, Qi Canglan, will be the head of the household!
Qi Canglan finally left the Qi family, taking only the tablet of his biological mother.
Because he was a businessman, his mother was also disliked by the Qi family.
Qi Canglan was not sad. After leaving the Qi Mansion, he placed his mother's spirit tablet and went to the county government with the severance letter to re-establish his household registration.
Qi Canglan opened a business, and from then on, his three generations were not allowed to study and take the imperial examinations.
Qi Canglan's affairs soon spread throughout North City. The Qi family was considered a large family in North City, and usually all the major families were trying their best to compete with each other. However, ever since the Qi family had Qi Canglan, a young man who liked business, they became a laughing stock in the North City family circle.
Today, the thorn in the Qi family's heart was finally removed, and everyone in the Qi family breathed a sigh of relief.
But the Qi family didn't know that this was the decision they regretted the most.
"Is there something seriously wrong with the Qi family members' brains?" This was the conclusion Xu Ning came to after hearing about Qi Canglan's affairs.
"Bao, could it be that the Qi family didn't touch a single cent of Qi Canglan's earnings?"
"Hello players, all the money Qi Canglan has earned in the past has been turned over to the public!"
"Humph! They are whores who still pretend to be virtuous. They are either seriously ill or￥$&￥..."
"Hello players, please use civilized language."
"Okay, it's a good thing that Qi Canglan left this filthy place of the Qi family!"
Treasure Box: ...
"By the way, Bao, who is Qi Canglan buying the grain for?" There is so much wine, and it can't be sold if no one is in charge.
"Hello player, it's Jiang Yan."
"It's him. Doesn't the Qi family know that he is working for Jiang Yan?"
"Player, the Qi family doesn't even know that Qi Canglan's business is selling wine." They just don't care, otherwise why wouldn't they ask.
"However, they have heard recently that Qi Canglan's business has encountered difficulties."
"Oh, you were afraid of bringing trouble to the Qi family, so you kicked him out so quickly?"
"Player, there's more to it than that. Jiang Yan spread the word that a young man named Qi was his benefactor, and the Qi family specifically waited for Jiang Yan's confirmation before expelling Qi Canglan from the clan!"
"Absolutely! This practice is absolutely absurd!" Xu Ning was really curious, how far could such a family develop?
A talent like Qi Canglan has been abandoned. Considering that the Qi family hasn't produced a juren in fifty years, I'm afraid the family will soon be ruined.
