Transmigrated As A Delicate Bundle Of Luck For A Farming Family

451 Street Patrol 2

“I will.”

Qi Xingzhi nodded seriously. He was going to take the scholar route and participate in the imperial examination anyway.

“Xingzhi is so smart. You can definitely do it.”

Madam Zhao smiled.

Qi Xingzhi blushed in embarrassment. It seemed that he had to work harder.

“Come on, let’s have a drink.”

General Qi filled his cup. During this period of time, he was getting happier and more energetic.

Everyone raised their glasses and drank together with smiles on their faces.

After dinner, Su Sanlang said, “Grandpa, sorry to disturb you these days. We bought a house in the suburbs. Tomorrow, our family will move to our new home.”

Madam Zhao’s eyes were filled with gratitude. They had used the banknotes given by the Yan family to buy a house in the suburbs. This way, it would be easier to cooperate with the Jinghong Restaurant.

Before long, Chen Hu’s family would come to the capital.

General Qi looked at Su Sanlang in satisfaction and said, “You’re a good child. I’m relieved that Mianmian is with you. If nothing unexpected happens, you’ll live in the capital for a long time in the future. When you’re free, come and visit Grandpa more often. In the future, even if I go, your cousins, sister-in-law, and the children will come and go as they please. If you don’t get along, don’t force yourself.”

General Qi knew that the Su family would not stay in the general’s residence for a long time. They would not have the chance to be so close to each other again in the future.

However, in life, he had thought things through thoroughly. Yan Mian was already his granddaughter and there were two generations between him and his grandson. Furthermore, in the future, the relationship between relatives would only become more insignificant. When people interacted with each other, the most important thing was to look at each other’s temperament and character. If they could get along, then everyone would interact more. If they could not get along, then they would interact less.

Moreover, a few hundred years ago, the ancestors of those who were on good terms with him would still be enemies.

“Thank you, Grandpa.”

Madam Zhao choked slightly. Her grandfather was really, really kind.

“Mianmian, your cousin-in-law and I are very easy-going people. Your family is welcome here anytime. You can stay for a long time or a short time.”

Father Qi said solemnly to Madam Zhao. They had liked this little cousin since they were young.

Mother Qi smiled gently. “If you want to come often, make yourself at home. I don’t like those twists and turns either. Sister, what do you think of my kid? Although he’s older than Xiaolu, as long as you don’t mind that he’s old, he can get married to her.”

Mother Qi smiled as if she was joking, but when she looked at Madam Zhao, Madam Zhao understood that she had real intentions under the guise of a joke.

Qi Xingzhi choked on his saliva.

“Cough cough cough—”

She choked and coughed. His mother’s words were really shocking.

He pretended to look at Su Xiaolu casually and his face began to turn red.

Cousin Xiaolu was smart and beautiful…

Su Xiaolu was also shocked to be suddenly mentioned. Heavens, save her. Why did they start to match make while eating?

Madam Zhao smiled and said, “Xingzhi is a good child. Who would despise him?”

Initially, she did not have this thought, but when Mother Qi mentioned it, Madam Zhao also felt that Qi Xingzhi was not bad. He was a good choice and a good-looking person.

Su Xiaolu said with a serious expression, “No.”

Everyone looked at Su Xiaolu.

Qi Xingzhi was also a little puzzled. He looked at Su Xiaolu and couldn’t help but ask, “Xiaolu, why not?”

What was wrong with him?

Su Xiaolu said seriously, “We’re close relatives within three generations. When close relatives get married, they will give birth to children with disabilities. Some are fools, some have no hands or feet, and some have underdeveloped internal organs. These are all recorded in medical books.”

“Since ancient times, people have liked to increase their kinship, but why did they marry outsiders? Why didn’t they always increase their kinship in their own clans? It’s because close relatives can’t get married.”

Su Xiaolu firmly put an end to this possibility and used a medical explanation to make them not even have such thoughts.

After hearing Su Xiaolu’s explanation, everyone was enlightened. So that was how it was.

Qi Xingzhi scratched his head and said, “Haha, it’s good for us to be brothers and sisters.”

So that was how it was. The thought that had yet to surface in his mind instantly dissipated.

Mother Qi pondered for a moment and said, “That seems to be the case. I remember that a two-headed child appeared before West Street. Their parents were cousins. Furthermore, they later gave birth to a child without a hand. At that time, everyone said that they must have done something immoral in their previous life and received retribution in this life. That woman couldn’t withstand the blow and committed suicide. Sigh… Now that I think about it, it’s probably because they were close relatives. What a pity.”

“Ahem, we’re family to begin with. There’s no need to be in-laws. Am I right?”

Father Qi coughed lightly.

Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao smiled and nodded.

That was the end of the topic.

After dinner, everyone returned to the general’s residence. Su Xiaoling and Su Xiaolu went to pack their things.

After returning to her room, Su Xiaoling said, “You scared me just now. I was really worried that you wouldn’t be able to resolve it. Cousin Xingzhi is a good person, but his body is too weak.”

Qi Xingzhi did not have any martial arts foundation. He did not even know any basic martial arts.

Even if Su Xiaolu’s prescription could nourish his body to a normal state, it was still far from a martial artist.

“Xiaolu, is what you said true?”

Su Xiaoling asked curiously.

Are close relatives really not allowed to be together?

Su Xiaolu nodded. “Yes, within three generations, you’ll be considered close relatives. You can’t get married. Even after three generations, it’s not a good idea to get married. Just because the probability is low doesn’t mean it won’t happen. For the sake of health, don’t get married to any family.”

She was not spouting nonsense. These things had been scientifically proven in the future.

Genetic inheritance was a very complicated thing.

“I understand.”

Su Xiaoling smiled and remembered this. She thought to herself that when she chose a marriage partner for her child in the future, she would definitely avoid relatives.

After the family packed their things, General Qi and his family came out to send them off.

General Qi asked Qi Xingzhi and Qi Xingfeng to send the Su family home.

There were two carriages. Su Sanlang’s family did not have much luggage. There were so many things, and many of them had been prepared by the Qi family.

Their new home was far away from the bustling capital. On the edge of the capital, they bought two houses that were close to each other. Together with the land behind, they had several acres of land.

These two residences cost 5,000 taels of silver because they were very large.

The few acres of land were connected to the houses and could be expanded in the future.

The plaque on the door had been changed to the ‘Su Residence’.

Qi Xingfeng chuckled. “We’re here.”

He had been keeping an eye on the renovation of the house.

The door plaque at the side was the ‘Chen Residence’ Su Sanlang had mentioned.

He pushed the door open and saw a row of green bamboo.

“Uncle, Aunt, do you like it?” Qi Xingzhi asked expectantly. He had personally designed the courtyard’s scenery.
