Marrying into a poor family

After Uncle Qi followed everyone into the capital, he went out to act alone.

He announced to the outside world that he was escorting Li Siniang and others to the capital, and everyone unanimously believed that he was here to escort Yin Liang.

After a few days, Uncle Qi suddenly disappeared.

He was unfamiliar with everyone, so no one asked him where he was going until the third day.

Li Siniang said very calmly that Uncle Qi had left.

No one thought much about it. After all, they bought the house and had no money left to protect it.

When Uncle Qi arrived home, Mrs. Su was very happy and was busy making arrangements to catch the wind and wash away the dust.

After the Su family left, Xiao Chenyu, Qin Xiang and Uncle Qi began to talk about business.

He casually threw the linen package he carried with him on the table. The package was ordinary and even had a few scuffs. It could be seen that it had been used for a long time.

Who would have thought that there was a banknote hidden in this package.

Xiao Chenyu opened the package. Inside were two sets of old and new clothes and socks. Next to them were two round wooden tubes, sealed tightly with wax. The surface of the wooden tube is also coated with a layer of grease so that even if it falls into water, the contents inside will not get wet.

Xiao Chenyu did not open it immediately, but looked at Uncle Qi.

Uncle Qi said: "The address you gave me is an ordinary small courtyard in a remote alley. There are several experts guarding it, but it probably hasn't happened for a long time and it's a remote place. They were also negligent, and the people who kept watch at night actually got together to drink and play cards. When I went in to pick up things, I felt like there was some kind of trap. It just went too smoothly."

"The yard was very small, and there were only some valuable things in the study room, but I didn't touch them. These two things were well hidden, and I thought they might be useful things, so I took them all back."

Qin Xiang wanted to drive in front of Uncle Qi, but Uncle Qi waved his hand: "You go back and drive on your own. I don't want to interfere with your affairs, but if you have anything to do, just ask me to do it. Don't worry, I'm definitely trustworthy."

"Of course we trust Uncle Qi. Let's take a rest first and let's go back." Xiao Chenyu raised his hands to Uncle Qi and then pulled Qin Xiang away.

After returning, the couple closed the door, Xiao Chenyu lit the fire seal, removed the sealing wax, and opened the wooden tube.

Inside the first wooden tube is an account book.

Qin Xiang and Xiao Chenyu looked at each other and said in unison: "Why is it the account book again?"

Qin Xi picked it up and turned it over, frowning tightly: "This is probably a ledger recording corruption and bribery."

However, it only contains the person's name, so it would be difficult to convict him even if he was exiled.

"This amount is so huge, where did the money go?" Xiao Chenyu was thinking even more.

Picking up another bamboo tube and opening it, there were eighty-eight thousand, eight hundred taels of silver notes inside.

These are bank notes from several places. I don’t know if they were sent from different places, or if they were done deliberately so that no one would notice them when using them.

Xiao Chenyu couldn't help but ask: "What does this number mean?"

"Good luck!" Qin Xi said casually.

There was no joy of getting rich at all on her face, so she asked Xiao Chenyu to hide the things.

Her husband in the previous life was an extremely superstitious person. He would read the almanac every day when he went out. Except for women, he was very particular about other things.

The birthdays and horoscopes of all the aunts and servants in the family are strictly selected and must not conflict with the eldest master. So much so that when children are born, they have to find ways to deliberately choose an auspicious time that the great master likes. Of course, these things cannot be controlled by control. Therefore, some of his descendants are very favored, while others do not get any mercy from him. When the family gets together on weekdays, these children are not allowed to eat together.

A lot of money is donated to temples and Taoist temples every year, but even the porridge given out during famine years is made from years of moldy grains.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so depressed?" Xiao Chenyu came over and hugged Qin Xiang from behind, who was staring out the window in a daze.

"You" Qin Xi leaned back and rested her head on Xiao Chenyu's shoulder: "Why did you never ask me how you knew this address? And why are you so sure that there should be money in this place?"

Xiao Chenyu placed it on Qin Xiang's bulging belly and rubbed it gently, without a trace of lust, only tenderness.

"I won't ask, because I believe you won't harm me." Xiao Chenyu turned his head and kissed Qin Xiang's ear gently, like a dragonfly touching water, but extremely gentle.

Why didn't Xiao Chenyu know that something was wrong with Qin Xiang? At first, he had a lot of guesses and a little fear, but since he had a child, he saw the changes in Qin Xiang, so he was relieved.

She has her own unspeakable secrets, and as long as she doesn't mention them, she has the right to not know about them.

"Thank you. There are some things that I really can't say, and no one will believe me if I say them." Qin Xiang rubbed her cheek against Xiao Chenyu's, and the feeling of skin-to-skin contact was particularly comfortable: "But, I will never harm you, You are as important as my mother and my children.”

However, although it was not intentional, they were tied together after all, and it was inevitable that he would be implicated.

Xiao Chenyu chuckled lightly: "I understand, no matter what we encounter in the future, as husband and wife, we will be able to turn danger into good luck and move forward bravely. When our child is born, from now on this family will be a complete family with the elder and the younger. "

Qing Can hurried in, losing her usual composure: "Second Master, madam, Second Master has won the prize!"

Xiao Chenyu had just won the scholarship this year, so he asked the Lu Jiu family to apply for this year's provincial examination. He was originally going to see it, but he never thought he would win the exam, so he was very relaxed during the time he came back. Even the Su family Never asked how you did on the exam?

The two people who were leaning on each other turned back to look at Qing Can, whose cheeks were flushed with excitement, and Qing Gu, who also came in and was smiling so hard that he could not see his eyes. In this way, the two of them began to believe it.

Although Qin Xiang knew that Xiao Chenyu was talented, it was too unreal to go so smoothly.

Both of them blinked, and it took a while before they finally had real feelings.

Xiao Chenyu became the master of Juren, and they also received a large sum of money.

The family went crazy, and Lu Jiu also hurried from Dancheng, accompanied by Master Lu and Mrs. Lu, as well as a lot of valuable gifts.

The Xiao family was in a state of excitement. The firecrackers were set off for a long time, and the whole family was very lively.

Immediately afterwards, the eldest master of the Qin family in Dancheng sent several carts of congratulatory gifts, and the eldest son of the eldest son of Qin personally escorted them.

There was no reason to kick out the guests who came to the house. Qin Xiang originally wanted to resume contact with Mr. Qin, so she invited the eldest brother to stay for a few days.

Lu Jiu and the uncle of the Qin family were particularly unruly. They both thought that they were the brothers-in-law, and they looked like two children competing for candy.

The news that came with it was: Sun Donghai from Dancheng failed, and Xiao Hanyang also failed.

It is said that Sun Donghai stayed behind closed doors for three days. When he came out, he said he had figured it out and would fight again next time.

Let’s not mention what happened to Sun Donghai for now. What made Xiao Chenyu frown was that Xiao Hanyang's father, Xiao Chenhao, his own eldest brother came to visit him for the first time.

Xiao Chenyu and Qin Xi still invited people into the reception hall.
