Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 19 A series of unexpected events
Qin Xiang looked into Lian'er's clear eyes, which was a desire that even the lowly fate of ants could not suppress.

For a long time, I don't know what kind of mood was touched. After a long silence, Qin Xiang put the sachet that she had given to Su Xiaomiao into the drawer and suddenly said: "Lian'er, are you willing to be my apprentice and learn from me?" Fragrance?"

After all, Lian'er was still young. She blinked and muttered "Apprentice, make incense." Then she nodded her head repeatedly and spoke incoherently with joy: "Yes, Lian'er is willing. Lian'er is willing to serve the girl for the rest of his life. Oh no, it's to serve." Master, I will never betray Master."

While talking, he kowtowed three more times.

Qin Xin chuckled, pulled him up, and asked, "Who did you learn these words from?"

Lian'er smiled sheepishly and said: "Looking at the singers and opera singers on the stage, many people said that when a master accepts a disciple, what he fears most is that the disciple is not filial and will turn against the master after learning the craft."

I have to say that Lian'er is very smart.

Qin Xiang suddenly decided to take on a disciple. She needed help, and ten-year-old Lian'er was undoubtedly a good candidate: she was young and easy to teach, very smart, and she seemed to like incense very much.

"Let your brother come and do things at home." Qin Xiang thought that Lian'er's brother was about 13 years old. It would be safer to have a half-grown boy in the family. Otherwise, after she got married, there would be a lot of women left in the family, which would not be reassuring.

She had no idea there was an orchid.

Aunt Sang hurried in, her face a little angry: "Girl, you brought someone back, oh, go to the kitchen and have a look."

Qin Xiang was stunned: "Who did Aunt Sang say?"

Aunt Sang slapped her thigh and said with great distress: "That orchid, that orchid that's thicker than a man. Girl, you'd better go to the kitchen and take a look."

To be honest, Qin Xiang finally remembered that Lan Hua had come to her home.

Seeing that Aunt Sang was so angry, something terrible must have happened. When Dangjie stood up and walked quickly towards the kitchen, Aunt Sang and Lian'er quickly followed.

The Qin family's kitchen is not too small and is usually Aunt Sang's home, but Mrs. Su will come in to help when she has time.

As soon as Lanhua arrived, she kicked Aunt Sang out and offered her to cook. Aunt Sang was also busy with the dowry, so she felt free to leave the kitchen to Lanhua.

But who would have thought that just now she was worried and came over to take a look, and she was so angry that she rushed to the backyard to complain to Qin Xiang desperately.

Qin Xiang didn't notice anything wrong when she came in. The kitchen was clean and tidy, and the dishes were neither burnt nor flooded. She just looked at the large bowl full of white flour steamed buns and the two large pots of vegetables on the stove. I always understood why Aunt Sang was so angry.

Today’s vegetables are extremely precious, and not everyone can afford white noodles. At least Lian’er’s family has never had it.

And these things at home were prepared in advance for the wedding in the future. Now half of them are cooked by Lanhua. How can this not make Aunt Sang, who was very careful about her budget a few days ago, not feel distressed?
Lanhua stood aside with a confused expression, holding the spatula, like a child who had made a mistake, which was extremely disproportionate to her figure.

"Girl, look, this is too wasteful. Who can afford to raise such a family?" Aunt Sang is not cruel, but she cares about food more.

Qin Xiang asked Lanhua: "Why did you cook so much? Did you think there were still many people like in the escort agency, so you cooked a lot more?"

Lanhua pointed at the steamed buns, shook her head and said, "I only cooked food for five people."

Even Qin Xiang's eyes widened: "Five people? How can we eat so much?" Lanhua looked innocent and said in puzzlement: "I can eat almost all by myself, but Ah Si said to let me do it Please eat less at home, or you won’t want mine.”

After saying that, her hands tangled together unconsciously, and she seemed to understand that she had eaten too much.

Qin Xi finally understood why the people in the escort agency didn't want her. She was too good at eating, but the business in the escort agency was not good. If she ate too much, the others would go hungry.

The room fell silent for a moment, and Qin Xiang thought that she might as well send the person back home after finishing the meal. This was not something ordinary people could eat. As Aunt Sang said, ordinary people really couldn't afford it.

Lan Hua still had some sharp eyesight, and she suddenly said: "I can eat less in the future."

At this moment, the courtyard door rang, and Qin Xiang sighed: "Let's talk about it after we finish this meal."

It was already dark, Xiao Chenyu had just returned from the county town, and the farce at the house next door had already ended.

Xiao Chenyu moved in the things Su needed to buy and gave the remaining money to Su.

Su's mood improved the moment she saw her son-in-law, and Aunt Sang happily greeted Xiao Chenyu to come in and have dinner before leaving.

Qin Xi stood aside and watched, feeling that as soon as this person came, the atmosphere in her home became warmer.

Aza, who had been sleeping soundly all afternoon, also woke up. As soon as he walked out, he saw a family warmly entertaining a tall man, and he knew who this person was.

"Hey, is this our future uncle?" Aza came for a day and didn't get any smiles at all. At this time, he felt unhappy. He thought he was a master and should be taken seriously.

Xiao Chenyu had just washed his face when he heard a man's strange voice and turned to look at Aza in shock.

"This is my father's long-term follower Aza." Qin Yun took a step forward and stood beside Xiao Chenyu. Although she was explaining this person's identity to Xiao Chenyu, her eyes were fixed on Aza with a warning in her eyes.

I don't know whether it was because of the dark weather or because Aza didn't pay attention to Qin Xiang and her daughter at all. He leaned against the door frame and sneered: "My master hasn't heard about this marriage yet. I'm afraid he won't be able to become the Qin family's son-in-law." Liang said, don't be too anxious to call people into your home."

Just as Qin Xiang was about to retort, Xiao Chenyu next to her suddenly grabbed her hand. They forgot to light the lights in the room, and others could not see their little movements. However, Qin Xiang was startled and wanted to break away, but her hand was held tightly. Even some pain.

Xiao Chenyu said coldly: "From the time we were engaged to now, we have been through the matchmaker's words, and there is also the witness and consent of the mother-in-law. How can we be so close to each other?"

Azaha laughed, full of ridicule: "Mother-in-law? Haha, I'm afraid you don't know that our master has the final say in this family."

Although he did not mention the Su family by name, no one could hear his implication.

Qin Xi sneered: "There has been no news from my father for many years, and now you suddenly come and want to take me away, without even a letter from my father. How can I trust you? Who knows if my father has long been dead, but Are you just trying to kidnap me in his name?"

Aza didn't expect Qin Xiang to be so quibbling, and was so angry that he said randomly: "Girl, don't spit on others with blood in your eyes. Aza is the master's long-term follower and has been following him all the time. It's not like the girl doesn't know it."

"The world is changing. Who knows who Aza is now?" Qin Xiang smiled faintly. For some reason, her hand was held by Xiao Chenyu, and her heart calmed down. The irritability surging in her heart was miraculously eliminated. of soothed.
