The beginning of the counterattack! The time-traveling boss is famous in Beijing

After returning home, Old Lady Qin silently locked herself in the room, not knowing what she was thinking.

Qin Ziyan came back from outside an hour later, exuding a depressed aura.

Before he even reached Qin's house, he could hear bursts of laughter coming from his own yard from afar.

When Qin Ziyan stepped into the yard, he looked up and saw Qin Ruo squinting her eyes, holding a longbow made of wood in her hand, aiming at the target made of weeds.

After a few "whoosh" sounds, several sharp bamboo arrows were shot out, and each arrow landed exactly on the center of the bull's eye.

The man in front of me had a face full of vigor and vitality, and his every move was heroic, like a general who had been on the battlefield for a long time.

Qin Ziyan was stunned for a moment.

He seemed to have returned to the scene at Qingfengju Teahouse that day when his opponent, holding chess pieces in hand, completely defeated him with just a few words.

He thought of the harpoon that had flown past his cheek more than ten days ago.

Qin Ziyan's eyes were full of confusion, and a hint of fear and dread.

"Sister, sister, you are so awesome!"

"Wow, wow, Sister Ruo, I want to try it too..."

Qin Zimu and Zhou Erzhu, two young boys of similar age, jumped and danced around Qin Ruo.

The look he gave Qin Ruo was full of admiration and yearning.

Qin Ziyan looked at Qin Ruo, who was standing next to Qin Zimu and Zhou Erzhu with a faint smile on her face and patiently explaining archery techniques to them in a soft voice. His expression began to become dazed.

When father was still alive, she had smiled at herself like this and looked at him with such gentle eyes.

Since when did the two of them drift further and further apart?

It seemed that after I transferred from the private school in the village to the Luming Academy in Taihe County and saw the prosperity of the outside world, my relationship with my elder sister plummeted.

When he first started going to the academy, he would occasionally share with his sister about life in the academy and some interesting things that happened there when he came back.

Gradually, he became less talkative.

He didn't like his elder sister because of her timid and petty nature.

I can never be as generous, decent and fluent in conversation as the sisters at my classmate's home.

He complained that his elder sister was dressed in rags like a beggar when she gave him money, which made him lose face in front of his classmates.

At the gate of the academy, his new classmates curiously asked him who that person was.

I answered him loudly at the time: "How would I know where this little beggar came from? He might be here to beg for money."

I didn't even look at her at that time, and walked away with my classmates into Qingfengju.

It was not until he came out of Qingfengju after drinking tea that his sister rushed out from a corner, bumped into him casually, and stuffed silver and money into his body.

From that day on, my sister never came to Luming Academy again.

The expression on Qin Ziyan's face kept changing, and past events flashed through his mind like a passing scene.

He has always boasted of his intelligence and believed that whether the Qin family can bring honor to the family in the future depends on himself.

It was not until then that he realized how stupid his idea was.

"Erlang, Erzhu, you guys keep practicing."

Qin Ruo looked back at Qin Ziyan who was standing in a daze at the gate of the yard, frowned, handed the bow and arrow in his hand to Qin Zimu, and turned back to the room.

"Big, big brother..." Qin Zimu also noticed Qin Ziyan at this time. He walked up and called Qin Ziyan in a low voice.

The smile on his face just now faded away in an instant.

The sudden voice brought Qin Ziyan back to reality from his long memories.

He looked at Qin Ruo's back and Qin Zimu who was standing in front of him with his head down, as if the laughter he had just heard outside was just an illusion.

"Go and play with Erzhu!" Qin Ziyan tried hard to force a smile, waved at Qin Zimu with a bitter smile.

Qin Zimu breathed a sigh of relief with an imperceptible degree of relief. He had thought he would be scolded by his elder brother again, but he did not expect him to just say it so lightly.

He quietly tugged at Zhou Erzhu's sleeve, and the two looked at each other and immediately understood.

One of them held a longbow and bamboo arrows, and the other carried the target. They ran out of the Qin family's yard and went to the back of the house.

Qin Ziyan wanted to call them to stop, but when he saw the two of them running away, he didn't have time to open his mouth at all.

He recalled what he had just learned from the villagers about the strange things that had happened in Changhe Village recently and Qin Ruo's behavior.

He suddenly laughed out loud, with tears in his eyes.

What else did he hear from the villagers just now?

"What's the use of the Qin family's eldest son being well-educated? He can't even lift anything. He only talks but doesn't practice. Old Lady Qin is easy to fool. If it weren't for the Qin family's girl, let alone the Qin family's eldest son being able to go to that academy safely, he probably wouldn't even have enough to eat..."

"Fifty acres. Even if we don't eat or drink for a year, I'm afraid we can't earn that much."

"Of course, they are protected by the gods. Otherwise, how could those vicious people in our village be punished by the gods so quickly?"

"However, let's follow the girl from the Qin family and plant whatever she plants. I always have a feeling that it's right to follow the girl from the Qin family."

The endless discussions reached his ears.

Later, when everyone saw him, they shut up and dispersed.

Only then did Qin Ziyan realize that he had left such a bad impression on the villagers.

He was well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics, so he naturally understood etiquette and morality. The villagers' words shocked him deeply, and he was so embarrassed that he almost wanted to find a hole to hide in.

He thought that this person was good for nothing, but he easily eradicated several big cancers in the village, won the favor of the Xie family, and broke Mr. Mingjing's chess game.

Even the few arrows that seemed to be shot casually just now were much better than those shot by the rich kids in the academy when they practiced riding and archery every day.

How could I have the nerve to think that Qin Ruo was useless?

The noise outside the yard was also heard by Old Lady Qin in the house.

Her words last night were cruel, but after all, she had loved her grandson for more than ten years.

By now, her anger had almost subsided.

Otherwise, when they were outside before, she would not have been so shameless and hesitant to test Qin Ruo about the deed to the fifty acres of wasteland.

Old Mrs. Qin was extremely anxious and wanted to rush out to comfort Qin Ziyan several times.

When her hands touched the door handle, the scene of the argument with Qin Ziyan last night flashed through her mind.

Old Mrs. Qin suddenly felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured on her and she woke up instantly.

"I'm really confused. How can I make the same mistake again and again..."

Old Mrs. Qin raised her hand and slapped herself in the face. She quickly retreated from the door to the bed and buried her head in the quilt, pretending that she heard nothing.

"Oh? Is this guy crazy?"

Qin Ruo looked through the slightly open window of the room, looking at Qin Ziyan standing in the yard, crying and laughing, feeling confused.

She flashed into the space and looked at the new area that was suddenly unlocked in front of her with ecstasy.

Just when I was about to fall asleep, someone handed me a pillow. It was like a blessing from heaven.
