Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 112

Qin Xiongfei had thirteen children, seven boys and six girls, and together with their mother and servants, there were 30 people.

A crowd of people knelt down and knelt down to worship. The old lady looked at them with a confused expression and asked Qin Xiongfei and his wife to take them back to the fourth room without even asking their names.

Under the strange looks from each room and the two aunts, this group of people left in a hurry.

Qin Xiang handed the porcelain bottle to Lu Jiu, and Xiao Chenyu hurriedly stepped forward to help her sit down and rest.

Lu Jiu once saw a bottle of fragrant dew from his mother. At that time, he was infatuated with a new oiran, so he thought of giving it to the oiran to please her, but his mother scolded her and drove her away.

However, Lu Jiu still remembered the aroma of the bottle of fragrant dew, so when he held the bottle of fragrant dew in front of him, he immediately knew that it was better than the bottle in his mother's hand.

"Thank you, Mrs. Xiao Er. I will go and tell my father that the first bottle of fragrant dew was made by our Lu family." Lu Jiu didn't care to say more and immediately ran away with a face full of joy.

Qin Xiang looked at Xiao Chenyu: "Is Li Siniang back?"

"I came back early this morning and said that things went very smoothly. Almost all the brothers and sisters are back." Xiao Chenyu looked at Qin Xi and added meaningfully: "You are such an amazing father. You actually raised more than a dozen children outside." A child. Now Mrs. Qin Si is probably going to be angry to death. "

"Hmph, I don't know if she's mad to death. At least, I'm afraid she won't be able to take care of me for the time being." Qin Xian smiled and said, "Husband, let's go back, change our clothes and go to the Qin family to watch a show."

"Aren't you afraid that the Qin family will find out about you?" Xiao Chenyu took Qin Xiang's hand and walked slowly outside.

"What's the use of being afraid? She's good at throwing cold arrows, but she pretends to be virtuous on the surface. I want to do the opposite of her. I'm just a domineering country boy who doesn't know etiquette. I'm reckless and love to show off. So, everyone can do anything I do. Accept it as a matter of course.”

After returning to his temporary home, Xiao Chenyu went to change his clothes and get ready. Li Siniang hurriedly came forward to help Qin Xiang change her clothes.

"Madam, Mrs. Lu is waiting on the carriage outside the yard. She said she is here to pick up the second master and his wife to go to Qin's house." Qinggu came in to report.

Qin Xian stood up and looked carefully. When she saw nothing was wrong, she asked where Xiao Chenyu had gone.

Qing Can said: "Second Master has gone to the old lady's place."

"Well, I'll go over there too."

Just as she was about to go out, Su Shi and Xiao Chenyu had already come over. Behind Su Shi, in addition to green plums, there were also large orchids.

After arriving in Fucheng, Qin Xiang was afraid that Qin Xiongfei or Mrs. Qin Si would be unfavorable to the Su family, so she asked Lanhua to stay with Su family. Lanhua was very obedient, and she followed Su family even when she went to the toilet. Su Shi couldn't laugh or cry.

"Let Lan Hua go with you. I'm safe at home. There's no need for her to follow me." Su Shi pointed to Lan Hua behind her and said to Qin Xiang.

"Mom, there will be no overt danger when I go to Qin's house. If there is really some hidden trick, bringing Orchid will be of no use. Wouldn't it be better for Mom to let her follow so that I can feel at ease?"

Su Shi couldn't persuade her daughter, so she could only let her go after a few words of admonishment.

"Old lady, don't worry, they will be fine. The Qin family today does not have the time or energy to trouble Madam." Li Siniang helped Su back to the house and couldn't help but persuade her.

Su Shi frowned: "What did you and Qiao Dazhuang do when you and Qiao Dazhuang were away these days?"

"This"

Li Siniang was a little embarrassed, so Mrs. Su stopped asking questions when she saw this.

"I don't ask for anything now, I just want her to be safe." Lu Jiu rode a horse and prepared a horse for Xiao Chenyu. Qin Xi followed Mrs. Lu in the carriage. Xiao Lian, Qingcan and Qinggu followed Mrs. Lu's The maids and servants walked together.

"Qin Xiang, I really like you so much, why don't you become my girl?" Mrs. Lu pulled Qin Xiang and said with a smile.

Seeing Qin Xiang just smiling, Mrs. Lu couldn't help but shake her head in laughter.

"Oh, no, if I accept you as my sister, my son will be a generation younger than your husband, and he will definitely not accept it. Why don't you be my goddaughter? My life is miserable, and I only gave birth to Lao Jiu. A son, well, if I have a daughter, my life will be complete."

This proposal is obviously Mrs. Lu's sincere proposal, but it is too hasty to acknowledge relatives like this. And is it appropriate to mention this on the way to Qin's house?

She raised her eyes to look at Mrs. Lu, and saw that although she was smiling, her eyes were extremely deep, and she seemed to be confident that she was bound to win.

The two looked at each other on the swaying carriage, neither of them evading the other's probing and weighing.

After a long time, Qin Xiang suddenly smiled and said succinctly: "Godmother, my daughter will rely on her godmother to take care of her from now on."

"Hahahaha, okay, okay, just follow me today. If anyone comes to make you unhappy, it's up to Godmother how I will deal with them." Mrs. Lu immediately laughed heartily and agreed to be Qin Xiang's backing.

"Thank you!" Qin Xiang pursed her lips and smiled, and asked rather mischievously: "But what if my father wants to find trouble with me? Will my godmother be willing to stand up for me?"

"Why not? As long as you are of the same mind as me, I will do my best to protect you."

Mrs. Lu smiled and gave her guarantee. Of course, the premise is that you must listen to me and be of the same mind as me.

Qin Xi smiled and said pointedly: "As long as my godmother can protect me, I will naturally be grateful to my godmother."

"You are such a clever little kid."

Lu said and poked Qin Xiang's forehead, feeling as close as a mother and daughter.

Then he patted the back of her hand meaningfully and said lightly: "Back then, I was separated from Lu Jiu's father as soon as I got married. At that time, we had nothing to fear from anyone, and now, I am even less afraid. Yes. Besides, you are not someone who lets others control your temper. If we join forces, who do we have to fear?"

"Godmother, don't you think it's unfilial to me to treat my father like this?" Qin Xiang was still half joking and half testing.

"Hey, I'm most annoyed by these red tapes and unreasonable dogmas."

Mrs. Lu sighed and said: "At the beginning, I had been married for many years but could not get pregnant. I don't know how many people came to our room. I was determined not to allow Lu Jiu's father to take concubines. I said divorce. Either you have to leave me, or you can only have me."

Qin Xiang was a little surprised. A woman dared to talk to her husband like this even though she had no heirs. This could be considered a tough temper.

And under such circumstances, Mr. Lu did not divorce her. It seemed that the couple had a really good relationship.

"At that time, I was criticized for everything, including jealous women. Even my brothers and sisters-in-law came to persuade me to take concubines for my husband. They even brought a distant relative from the countryside to help me give birth. The child is a beautiful name. When she gives birth to a child, let her leave and the child will be raised in my name."

Mrs. Lu paused for a while when she said this, and then sneered: "I took the feather duster and kicked my brother and sister-in-law out. Since then, I have cut off contact with my mother's family."

At this moment, Qin Xiang had a feeling of admiration for her, and suddenly felt that it would be good to have such a godmother.

"Later, they saw that I didn't even have contact with my mother's family, so they gave up their thoughts. But they started to try to persuade us to adopt our children again, but I still didn't want to. Why should we let them enjoy our hard-earned family property? ?
Alas, it was not easy for God to take pity on us as a couple, and we had never done anything harmful to God, so he gave us the child Lu Jiu.It's a pity that Lu Jiu has such a reputation again, and it's probably because of the help of those in the Lu family. "

Qin Xi listened quietly. She knew how complicated the overt and secret struggles of the big family were, and she also understood that Mrs. Lu's few words of understatement had actually revealed half a lifetime of heartache and suffering. How could she empathize with it if she had never experienced it personally?
