Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 108 Zhang Family
The reason why Qin Xiang dared to provoke this woman was naturally because he knew her.

This woman's surname is Zhang Mingwei, and she is the granddaughter of the old lady of the Zhang family.She married into the third wife of the Qin family. If you want to count, she is Qin Xiang's sister-in-law.

This woman relied on the power of the Zhang family to dominate the Qin family, but unfortunately she failed, so her temper became even weirder. Her husband Qin Xian was even willing to sleep with the maid and not touch her. As for Zhang Wei, she hated the love and harmony between other couples.

In her previous life, Qin Xiang also suffered a lot from this woman. Later, after Qin Xiang figured out her temperament, she never let Zhang Wei take advantage of her again.

I never expected that when I came back to Dancheng, she would be the first one to jump out. It seemed like there was a lot of fate.

Qin Xiang walked to the reception hall in a good mood, where many ladies and their maids were already sitting.

The little maid led the person to sit down in the middle, and someone immediately came forward to place refreshments, tea, etc. The maids and servants of the Lu family were very methodical in doing things, and they moved quickly and carefully.

You can tell the master's character by watching what a servant does. Lu Jiu's mother is definitely not a simple person.

But why did she let Lu Jiu still not get married in his twenties and still have such a reputation?This is somewhat puzzling.

Of course, Qin Xiang just thought about it casually and then looked at the people around him.

It was still early, and not many people came; there were no people sitting on either side of Qin Xiang, but sitting opposite were a few noble ladies who were having a good conversation. Seeing her look over, they also nodded and smiled at her, and then they Averted his eyes.

But as they talked, they couldn't help but glance in Qin Xiang's direction. Qin Xiang understood that they were probably talking about topics related to herself.

The little maid came over, saluted Qin Xiang, and respectfully said that their wife invited her.

Qin Xi asked: "But Mrs. Lu's family wants to see me?"

The other party replied: "Yes, my wife is waiting for Mrs. Xiao Er."

Once you come, take care of yourself. No matter whether the Lu family's wife wants to see her or not, Qin Xiang is not afraid.

She stood up calmly, touched the hairpin on her head with her hand, and said lightly: "Lead the way."

The little maid nodded hurriedly, turned around and walked forward, but murmured in her heart: Everyone said that Mrs. Xiao Er came from the countryside, but looking at her demeanor, she was not much weaker than her own wife?
As soon as Qin Xiang left, the ladies across from him started to speak freely and unscrupulously.

"I heard that this daughter of the Qin family is like a nouveau riche. When she came to Dancheng, she acted like an inexperienced person. She bought hundreds of taels of things in one go. I don't know where she got so much money to squander?"

These women are young and probably have never been the head of their own household. They don’t have much money at their disposal. Who dares to go out on the street and squander it like this?Even if she uses her own dowry, she will still be scolded by her parents-in-law and husband when she returns home.

Therefore, these people may seem disdainful, but in reality they are somewhat envious.

"Is it possible that Mr. Qin Si subsidized the money for her?" Someone else speculated.

"Impossible. Master Qin Si is not so generous. What's more, he has many daughters. How can he be so generous?"

"Maybe this woman has a way to make Mr. Xiao Si happy?"

"Even if I give her money, how much money will she have? If she doesn't have a plan to live her life, I'm afraid she will have a hard time in the future!"

Everyone continued to talk and laugh, but Qin Xiang naturally didn't know.

She took Qingcan and Qinggu to an antique room. Mrs. Lu's wife was instructing her servants to do things. When she saw her coming, she hurriedly asked people to get out. "Come, come here and let me see, what kind of beautiful person can make such incense sticks?" Mrs. Lu's wife is very similar to Lu Jiu. She is a rare beauty.

And she always smiled when she saw people and spoke humorously, which made Qin Xiang feel more favorable immediately, and she also went up to say a few words.

After the greetings were completed, Mrs. Lu's wife had no time to chat, so she said: "I didn't have time to call you over to talk alone. After today, we will look for opportunities to chat."

"I called you here because I heard that Mrs. Xiao Er was wronged at my house. I was afraid that Mrs. Xiao Er would feel uncomfortable and wanted to call you to come over and talk."

"I'm fine, I'm just causing trouble to Mrs. Lu, please forgive me." Qin Xiang smiled gently and gracefully, not as powerful as the mother-in-law reported just now.

Of course, Mrs. Lu was well versed in the ability to tell lies when people see her, and she didn't find it strange at all.

Mrs. Lu's wife only talked about the woman's origin at this time. Although Qin Xiang knew it, she would not reveal it.

"Speaking of which, she is still your cousin-in-law. If you recognize the Qin family, she will inevitably keep in touch with her. This person has a bad temper, and because her grandmother is an old lady of the Zhang family, many people don't like her, but they can't help it. I can’t bear to give in a bit.”

Mrs. Lu also kindly reminded Qin Xiang that she didn't understand, so she sincerely thanked her.

But he didn’t want to continue talking about Zhang Wei, so he changed the topic and asked: “What is the origin of this old lady?”

Qin Xiang knew about Mrs. Zhang, but she didn't know much about it. It would be better if she knew more.

"Old Mrs. Zhang was once one of the wet nurses when I was a child, and the Queen Mother pointed out this relative of the Zhang family with her own eyes."

"Since she is a wet nurse, she must be married and have children. Why does the Queen Mother need to marry her?"

"She was originally the maid of the Queen Mother when she was in her parents' family. Because she was a little older, the Queen Mother married her to Mr. Zhang, who was a minor official in the capital, when she entered the palace.

When the Queen Mother gave birth to Jinshang, she looked around for a wet nurse. Later, she recruited Mrs. Zhang, who had just given birth to a baby, into the palace.Two more years later, for some reason, Old Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang returned to Dancheng together.

However, every year during the Chinese New Year, the palace would still send some rewards to the Zhang family.Especially after Jinshang ascended the throne, the Zhang family became the first in Dan City. Even the adults in the government office were cautious when dealing with the Zhang family and did not dare to offend the Zhang family. "

After hearing this, Qin Xi nodded slightly to show that she understood. Seeing that Mrs. Lu was about to speak but hesitated, her eyes seemed worried, she smiled and said, "Madam, don't worry, I have my own way to deal with her."

"That's good!" Mrs. Lu smiled, took Qin Xiang's hand and stood up, walking out together, and said: "I'm just reminding you, there's no need to be afraid of her. Zhang Wei is just She is just a married daughter of the Zhang family, and I, the Lu family, are not afraid of the Zhang family. Besides, since you are my guest, how can you be angry and humiliated in my home?"

"Thank you, Mrs. Lu!" Since she was asked to appreciate it, she accepted it.

Qin Xiang had long forgotten her relationship with the Lu family. However, she initially chose the Lu family's incense shop as a partner. Who can say that Qin Xiang didn't deliberately cling to the Lu family?
Mrs. Lu held Qin Xiang's hand and walked into the hall together. At this time, many people had come, including wives and grandmothers from various families with their daughters.

The room was filled with beauties and the fragrance of makeup, which was a bit prettier than the flowers outside the window.

Qin Xiang was held by Mrs. Lu's hand. After greeting everyone for a few words, Qin Xiang was introduced. She only said that she was her good friend and everyone could call her Mrs. Xiao Er.

Countless eyes were fixed on Qin Xiang, and they were all extremely complicated.

After the introduction, Qin Xi took the initiative to go back to his previous seat and sit down.
