Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 194 Smart Tiger

Huang Xiu said that he could not make the decision and would tell the master about Eunuch Zhao's request.

But Zhang Shaohua opened his mouth and said that he wanted to keep them for dinner. Huang Xiu was naturally unwilling, so he refused and said that the master was still waiting for them to go back.

Then he said that they were just young apprentices and not qualified to accompany Eunuch Zhao and Eunuch Zhang to dinner, so he declined Zhang Shaohua's invitation.

After leaving the back house of the county government, the two of them got on the carriage. Huang Xiu glanced at Ding Hu and frowned: "Huzi, you. You should stay away from this guy named Zhang in the future. That person is a bottomless beast." Shit, we don’t want to mess with him.”

I thought Huzi didn't understand, so he kept the reason vague, and simply hoped that Huzi would not meet that person.

Who would have known that Huzi was just a streetwalker and had long heard a lot of dirty talk.

Besides, the past two years of reading and literacy have made him wiser. He read those words in the notebook, and naturally understood what Huang Xiu meant. Hearing this, he just smiled gratefully and said: "Brother Huang Xiu, don't worry, I know what's appropriate." .”

But he thought in his heart: I am afraid that this person has more than just evil thoughts towards me, just because Huzi also recognized the man named Zhang.

Last year, when he and Li Siniang went to Dancheng to sell incense prescriptions, it was Zhang Shaohua who the Zhang family contacted.

However, Huzi at that time was more like a child, not as tall as he is now. At that time, Li Siniang dressed herself up as a maid, applying lipstick, rouge and powder, and wearing a sky blue dress. Therefore, Zhang Shaohua looked at him with a thoughtful and puzzled look in his eyes today.

After returning home, Huang Xiu and Ding Hu went to see Qin Xiang.

Qin Xiang did not wear any filial piety at all, but wrote "Qixiang Lu" in the house.

In the late stages of pregnancy and after giving birth, she almost broke down. Now that her mother has taken the child away, she found time to start writing again.

However, as I was writing it, I realized that my memory was not very deep in many places, so I had to record it while writing, which slowed down the speed.

Of course, she was also waiting for Huang Xiu.

Lian'er is her eldest disciple. Although she is young, she is the first to get started. Therefore, even when Huang Xiu is older, he still calls Lian'er senior sister.

Huang Xiu was one of the first batch of servants bought through Lu Jiu's family, and was assigned to be an apprentice in the incense room. Because he was literate, more intelligent and attentive, he quickly stood out. After Qin Xiang's observation for more than half a year, he was accepted. As the second apprentice.

Gradually, he became Qin Xiang's right-hand man, helping Qin Xiang to deal with external affairs, etc., and he did a very good job. Qin Xiang gave him the title of manager, and he was more legitimate in managing things.

Lian'er, on the other hand, was still focused on learning the craft steadily with Lan Hua. Qin Xiang did not allow her to be anxious and asked her to take her time.

The twelve-year-old Lian'er has become much calmer and can basically be regarded as half a master of Xiangfang.

Ding Hu is Hu Zi, Lian'er's brother.

Qin Xiang and Hu Ziniang both thought he was going to take the imperial examination, but for some reason, he suddenly came back to work in Xiangfang.

Today is the first time he has gone out with Huang Xiu on errands since he came back. Qin Xiang meant to let him see the world, and secondly, to let him see that the world is difficult and studying might be a good way out.

Therefore, when Huang Xiu and Huzi came back to life, Qin Xiang took the lead in asking Huzi: "Huzi, how do you feel about going to such a big occasion today?"

Huzi smiled so hard that his dimples were exposed, and said with a smile: "Madam, there are thousands of people with different faces. Everyone has their own thoughts, but they all put on another face. I think it's quite interesting."

Qin Xiang snorted and asked again: "Do you really think that coming to help me is better than studying for the imperial examination? If you help me, you may not be respected by others if you become successful. But studying is different. Even if you don't pass the imperial examination, it will be different. It’s about the status of businessmen in people’s hearts.”

"After thinking about it, I will still go to school for a while when I get up in the morning, and then start working in Xiangfang." Huzi's eyes were very bright, but he was also very solemn and determined.

Qin Xiang thought for a while and said, "Go and discuss with your mother. If she agrees, I will accept you to work with me. If she is not willing, I advise you to think again." After Huzi left, Qin Xian then looked at Huang Xiu.

After Huang Xiu finished explaining Eunuch Zhao's request, Qin Xiang frowned, but it was also what she expected.

It's just that this man asked for five hundred incense sticks, which was difficult to do even in the palace, let alone Qin Xiang's small workshop.

"We simply can't meet his requirements, Master, what should we do?"

Huang Xiu was very respectful in front of this master who was several years younger than him, not because of his status as a disciple, but because Qin Xiu was not mature at all at her age.

The more he got to know Qin Xiang, the more humble he became. A capable person cannot use age to measure her value.

"Don't worry, I have a way. However, it will take some time and you will need to run around more. Maybe you will be a little angry and suffer a little, aren't you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of? No matter how hard it is, it can't be as hard as those days." Huang Xiu smiled bitterly and shook his head, his eyes full of regret.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Qin Xiu noticed very keenly that Huang Xiu had unfinished words.

"Well, it's about Huzi. Master, next time I go to see Eunuch Zhao and the man named Zhang, I'd better not let Huzi go."

Qin Xiang raised her eyebrows and said, "What? Is he doing something inappropriate?"

Although she asked this question, Qin Xiang actually didn't believe it. After all, Huzi had been following her for two years, so she naturally knew how clever this child was.

Huang Xiu hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "It's not that it's inappropriate, but..."

In this case, Huang Xiu couldn't say it. First, he didn't have any evidence, and he was afraid that he was overthinking it.

The second thing is that if he speaks out of thin air, will Master believe him?

The most important point is, is it really okay to tell the master, who is only a teenager, about such a dirty thing?

Of course, it was impossible not to talk about it, so Huang Xiu told what he saw and heard. He thought Qin Xiang would be surprised or ask more questions, but unexpectedly Qin Xiu just turned cold and sat upright.

After a long time, Qin Xian said: "Zhang Shaohua, right?"

Huang Xiu immediately understood what Qin Xiang meant and nodded quickly: "The eldest son of the Zhang family in Dancheng is a leader among the younger generation. It is said that he was trained as the next generation head of the family."

Before Eunuch Zhao came, his godmother, Mrs. Lu, sent Qin Xiang detailed information about Eunuch Zhao. Even though he was an eunuch, he was still lustful and liked women.

In particular, he told Qin Xi not to meet the eunuch named Zhao in person.

Because, Eunuch Zhao's perverted hobby is: he likes to torture his pretty little daughter-in-law.

And with Qin Xiang's face, it would be difficult not to be remembered.

"Zhang family." Qin Xian murmured in a low voice and suddenly laughed: "The Zhang family has been showing off its power for too long. Isn't it time for the sky in Dancheng to change? It's always been the four families taking turns. Isn't it very strange? Boring?"

Huang Xiu's mind suddenly moved and he raised his eyes to look at the young master: "Master, what do you mean, replace it?"

Qin Xiang slowly shook her head: "No, I don't want to be in such a limelight. It would be good to have three pillars; or it would be good to change to another force."
