Marrying into a poor family

Halfway through the banquet, everyone stopped using their chopsticks, and the girls went out to enjoy the flowers in the garden. This was the important part of today's flower-viewing banquet - blind date.

When children from rich families go on a blind date, they use this form of flower viewing banquet. They let the children take a look at it from a distance in the garden, or find an opportunity to say a word or two. After confirming their thoughts, they will tell their parents at home, and then the parents will Invite a matchmaker to come to propose marriage.

Another advantage is that the mothers and elders of both men and women will come. The male elders will see the girl's appearance, and the female elders will also see how the future mother-in-law behaves.

In short, it’s called flower appreciation, but it’s actually a blind date.

This flower-viewing banquet organized by the Lu family was for Lu Jiu's marriage. Everyone knew this.

So the girls who came today are all girls who are willing to marry the Lu family.

Mrs. Qin Si also came, but she only brought Qin Shao and not Qin Yao.

Qin Shao was already engaged and was not on the blind date, so Mrs. Qin Si also brought two concubines and let them go out to play.

Mrs. Lu asked: "Mrs. Qin Si, why didn't your Yao girl come? My flowers are quite beautiful. It's time for her to come and walk around."

Mrs. Qin Si cursed in her heart: Who knows whether you are talking about the flowers of the Lu family or the libertines of the Lu family?
But he smiled and said: "Oh, we were originally going to come. We even prepared clothes and jewelry, but who knew that I drank cold tea last night and had a stomachache when I woke up early, so I had to rest at home."

"Oh, that's it. It seems that Miss Yao's health is still a little bad. She can't bear a cup of cold tea. It seems that Mrs. Qin Si still needs to take care of her daughter's health."

Mrs. Qin Si's face froze at these words, but she could only smile and defend herself: "My daughter is usually in good health. As long as she doesn't eat cold food, she will be fine."

It is difficult for a girl who has not left the palace to marry into a good family if she is rumored to be frail. No one wants a wife who does not want a strong, good-looking and virtuous woman, and no one is willing to marry a sickly girl to take care of her at home.

Mrs. Lu's wife smiled softly, then turned to look at the lady on the other side: "Mrs. Huang, the clothes you are wearing today match your complexion. You look a lot more energetic."

Mrs. Huang is the wife of the head of another aristocratic family, but she has never managed the house. Firstly, there is a powerful mother-in-law who controls the family; secondly, Mrs. Huang has no legitimate children, only one daughter to be married, and there is no way to do it in the Huang family. Come up with tough words.

But the matrons who are of similar age are already the head of the house. For the sake of face, she often pretends to be ill, meaning that she doesn't care about the house because of her poor health.

These are things that everyone knows very well, but they will not expose them in public.

Today, Mrs. Huang was wearing a gorgeous dress and she looked indeed in high spirits. After hearing this, she also smiled and looked at Mrs. Lu: "I have become much stronger these days. I just happened to receive your flower viewing party, so I am naturally happy. People feel refreshed when happy events happen, and when they are happy, their spirits become even better.”

Qin Shao listened to their quarrel and glanced at the girl sitting obediently next to Mrs. Huang. Her brows were lightly swept, her eyebrows were lowered and her eyes were lowered, and she was serving her mother tenderly. The other girls in the hall had gone out, and even Qin Shao was gone. He made an excuse to go out, but she was the only one who stayed.

It seems that the Huang family is planning to get married to the Lu family, and they do not intend to let Miss Huang follow Lu Jiu's path, but want Mrs. Lu to make a decision.

In Qin Xiang's view, the Huang family's strategy was right. Miss Huang was gentle enough, but her appearance might not be able to impress Lu Jiu, who had been living in Wenwen Village for many years. It would be more practical to impress Mrs. Lu.

It was obvious that Mrs. Lu actually valued Qin Yao more. However, Mrs. Qin Si seemed to be dissatisfied with Lu Jiu, so Mrs. Lu turned to look at the Huang family.

At this moment, Mrs. Qinsi suddenly spoke and coldly questioned Qin Xiang, who was sitting next to Mrs. Lu. "Qin Xiang, you saw me, why don't you come to see me?" Mrs. Qin Si's position is opposite Qin Xiang, not far nor close. If she deliberately avoids sight, she can pretend not to see her, as long as she doesn't make any noise , the voice on the other side was even more unclear.

Therefore, Mrs. Qinsi's voice was raised even more, and the people waiting to watch the show were a little impatient. Fortunately, Mrs. Qinsi did not disappoint, and the show started with the gong.

Mrs. Huang and Miss Huang were the only ones in the audience who felt secretly resentful, for fear of being disturbed.

Qin Xiang slowly put down the tea cup, took out the handkerchief and wiped her hands. Then she slowly stood up, blessed Mrs. Qin Si on the spot, and shouted, "I've met Mrs."

As soon as he finished speaking, he straightened up. He was so perfunctory, as if Mrs. Qin Si was making trouble unreasonably, and Qin Xiang was too lazy to understand her.

Some people were shocked, some snickered secretly, and some people disagreed with Qin Xiang's rudeness.

But Mrs. Qinsi smiled and restrained her previous sharpness: "Okay, just know that I am your wife. You can go back with me today. Your grandmother wants to see you, and all the elders in the family are also waiting for you to visit them." ."

"The day after tomorrow is Mrs. Qin's birthday. I will go to Qin's house to pay her birthday. I have important things to do later, so I won't go there today."

"Your father is coming back today. You'd better be obedient and go back to see your father." Mrs. Qin Qinsi still smiled and threatened Qin Xiong with Qin Xiongfei.

"Father only ordered us husband and wife to go to the Qin family on the birthday of the old lady of the Qin family, but he never said that we would go to the Qin family in advance?" Qin Xiang sat down and looked at Mrs. Qin Si opposite with an innocent face. .

Those present were all elders of the family, and they all expressed disapproval of Qin Xiang's rudeness.The young wives secretly applauded in their hearts.

Miss Huang raised her black eyes and looked at Qin Xi curiously. Mrs. Huang whispered in her ear: "This woman can make Lu Jiu concentrate on her work seriously. She is a powerful character. Don't be jealous and treat her well." Just make good friends."

These words made Miss Huang feel a little uncomfortable. She turned around and asked her mother, "What does Lu Jiu mean to her?"

Mrs. Huang's eyes suddenly became sharp, and she gave her daughter a calm warning, and then said: "Mrs. Xiao Er is a capable person, and her husband is not an ordinary person. If Lu Jiu can make friends with their husband and wife, it can be seen that they both have the same temperament." people."

"Yes, my daughter understands!" Miss Huang's name is Huang Yinghua. Mrs. Huang spent all her time teaching her. Whether Huang Yinghua will marry well or not is Mrs. Huang's only concern.

No one noticed the conversation between mother and daughter because Qin Xi and Mrs. Qin Si were still tit for tat.

"I am your aunt, and it is treason for you to disrespect me like this. Even if I beat you to death, no one would dare to accuse me."

"Pfft!" Qin Xi laughed: "First of all, I don't have a legitimate mother; secondly, if I die and become disabled, I'm afraid many people will cause trouble for you. At least, I am still useful now."

"Your surname is Qin, you are my Qin family"

"I'm married and have already taken my husband's surname." Qin Xiang sneered coldly before Mrs. Qin Si finished speaking.
