Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 187 Asking for help

Qin Xiang left after saying this and did not stay to gather with everyone.

However, as the host, she will pay for everyone's subsequent consumption.

As soon as Qin Xi left, everyone became lively, but when faced with other people's inquiries about their contracts, they all laughed and exposed it.

Someone suggested calling the singer to come, but Boss Hu stopped him. He looked at Mr. Qian and humbly asked for advice: "Master Qian, what kind of medicine do you think Qin's sells in the gourd? He took the fat he got. Even if we share half of the meat, this person doesn’t look like a fool? Could it be that there is something fishy that we can’t see waiting for us behind the scenes?”

Mr. Qian liked the feeling of being respected very much. He stroked the beard on his chin, pretended to think for a moment with his big belly, and then said: "No matter what tricks she has, the contract is in our hands, we can all work together as a rope. Be careful, and if anyone discovers anything wrong, please notify everyone quickly."

Boss Hu nodded in agreement: "Yes, it should be so. We old guys have known each other for many years. If we are tricked by a little woman, we will laugh to death if we tell anyone about it."

After the banquet, everyone left one after another.

After everyone got on their carriages, they almost invariably suppressed their fake smiles and drunkenness. They immediately took out the contract seriously and carefully, considered it word by word, and discussed it with the people around them.

On Qin Xiang's side, Qing Can was also asking in confusion: "Madam, are we just giving them these orders? Can we complete them now?"

Qin Xiang opened her closed eyes slightly, looked at Qingcan and said, "Do you know why a big tree attracts the wind?"

Qingcan and Qinggu nodded, but their eyes were still a little unclear.

"If the Zhang family wants to take action on me, it means that I am the largest incense workshop in Qijiang County and even Dancheng. Although I am not at all, I have no way to argue. Once the Zhang family joins forces with Eunuch Zhao in the palace to attack me, If we take action, our county magistrate will definitely get involved."

"And these opponents in front can be seen, and these people I saw today will definitely take a share of the pie secretly. Instead of them taking action when the time comes, it is better for me to give them a sweetener first. With the contract, at least outsiders can It seems that we are in the same boat."

Qing Gu added clearly: "My wife's intention is to attract more people to take a trip through this muddy water."

"Yes, it is better to have fun alone than to have fun together. It is fun when everyone plays together. Their interests are not involved, and everyone is happy to watch the fun, but once the fire burns themselves, everyone will help put it out. fire."

Qin Xian had a lot of money in her hands, and most of it came from shady sources, so she didn't feel bad about spending it. The things that can be done well with money are all small things.

"What's more, our family now has a slight reputation for making incense, thanks to the Lu family's publicity. If we want to become bigger and have a strong influence, and make it difficult for others to touch us, then it is best to let Qi Jiang County has become a well-known county for making incense, but we can’t do it alone, we need everyone to work together.”

Qinggu's eyes were bright, he clapped his hands and said with a smile: "My wife wants to make Qijiang County a famous county for incense making. We have a dock here, and both water and land routes are convenient. It is not far from Dancheng. Even if you go to the capital, you can take a boat If everything goes well, it will last only four or five days."

"No wonder the madam wants to recruit a large number of apprentices. I finally understand." Qing Can's eyes also lit up. She has always wondered why the madam wanted to recruit a large number of apprentices. Her own family can't use it, and other families don't use Qin's Fragrance Factory to train them. Out apprentice.

The carriage suddenly stopped. Due to inertia, Qin Xiang and others jumped forward. Fortunately, Qinggu grabbed Qin Xiang's arm in time, otherwise Qin Xiang might have fallen out.

Qingcan waited for Qin Xiang to sit firmly, then raised the car curtain and said angrily: "What's going on outside?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a woman's cry came from outside: "Please help Mrs. Xiao Er, please help Mrs. Xiao Er!"

Qin Xiang's brows were furrowed. She didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but now was the time to make a name for herself. This man stopped a carriage on the street to ask for help. If he ignored it, I'm afraid there would be many stories about Qin Xiang being cruel and hypocritical the next day. , What a book of fake compassion. The coachman came over with a grimace and explained to the cold-faced Qin Xiang: "Madam, a middle-aged woman suddenly rushed out and almost hit the carriage. I was afraid of something happening, so..."

Qin Xiang raised her hand, stopped his explanation, and asked, "Are you okay?"

The coachman shook his head: "It's okay. She is wearing a mourning hat. There is a young man lying on the roadside. I don't know whether he is dead or alive?"

Qingcan turned to look at Qin Xiang and whispered: "Madam, if we rescue people, I'm afraid there will be more and more such things in the future. Even if our family is prepared, we can't help but take in people like this?"

Qinggu disagreed a little and said: "If you don't care now, it will definitely damage your reputation. Madam, let me go and take a look and see what's going on? If possible, just give me some money to spend."

"Well, go ahead and ask about the situation first." Qin Xiang agreed, and Qinggu walked out of the carriage.

When the kneeling woman saw someone coming out of the car, she hurriedly kowtowed and asked for help. It was like a person who had been dry for a long time and finally saw the nectar in front of her, and her lifeless eyes suddenly became bright.

Qinggu has a round face and round eyes. He looks very festive and speaks softly, making it easy for people to take off their guard.

She walked up to the woman and saw that she was dressed in filial piety, with a withered face, about forty years old, with messy hair and a lot of mud on her body.

He glanced at the man lying half-lying against the wall under the eaves. He was about twenty years old. His face was relatively clean, but his body was still very dirty.

Seeing the woman kowtowing to him, Qinggu felt inexplicably sad and rushed over to help her up. However, the woman insisted on kneeling, and Qinggu was too weak to help her up.

She could only advise: "Auntie, don't kowtow. Our wife called me to ask, what kind of difficulties have you encountered? If our family can help, we will definitely help. If we can't help, we will also find ways to help." Send it to the county government office and ask the county magistrate to provide justice!"

County magistrate? Panic and distrust flashed in the woman's eyes, and she shook her head repeatedly: "We are not going to the county government office, we are not going to the county government office!"

Most people were deeply afraid of the county government, but those watching the excitement didn't think much about it. Even if they encountered trouble, they never thought of going to the county government for help.

Qinggu squatted down, ignoring that the clean skirt fell to the ground and became dirty, and said softly: "Okay, if you don't go to the county office, you can get up first. Is that person a relative of yours?"

The woman looked down at Qinggu's hand, and tears welled up again: "Yes, that's my brother-in-law."

Qin Xiang walked out of the carriage and walked over slowly: "Auntie, get up and talk to me when you get back!"

When the woman raised her head and looked at Qin Xiang, she suddenly felt like a fairy descended to earth. She murmured: "Did I meet a fairy? Did a fairy show up to save us?"

Her brother-in-law also opened his eyes slightly and looked at Qin Xiang at this time, but he was so confused that he couldn't see clearly, so he closed his eyes tiredly after just one glance.
