Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 197 Everyone has their own agenda

Someone sent Qin Xiang a letter, but they didn't say who it was.

Qin Xiang read the letter, curled her lips slightly, and read it from beginning to end again before burning the letter.

Watching the letter turn to ashes in the brazier, Qin Xiang stretched out her hand, letting the warmth spread from the palm of her hand to her limbs and bones, and to her heart.

"My mother and child have arrived in the capital a long time ago, right? Lu'er's father should be very happy." Qin Xiang did not say anything about the letter, but started chatting.

Qinggu was tidying up the wardrobe at the side. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "No, the second master is a very family-loving person. Now that he saw the old lady and the young master, he was naturally overjoyed. But, what the second master wants most is his wife. You."

Qin Xiang turned her hands over and the smile on her lips became gentle: "Maybe, who knows about a man's heart!"

Qing Can hurried in from outside and said happily: "Madam, Master Lu Jiu and Uncle Qi are back."

"Uncle Qi is back so soon?" Qin Xiang was stunned for a moment, then thought that Uncle Qi had probably been traveling day and night, and a warmth surged in her heart. This time, the warmth went from her heart to her limbs.

Then, she asked in confusion: "What is Mr. Jiu here for?"

Even if Lu Jiu comes back from the capital with Uncle Qi, logically he should go back to Dancheng. What is he doing in Qijiang County? Could it be that something happened?

Qin Xiang put on a thick cloak and led Qing Can to the front yard to meet Uncle Qi and Lu Jiu.

Uncle Qi briefly said a few words about what happened on the road. It was really very simple: "Everything went well. The child and your mother arrived in Beijing smoothly. Everything is fine at home in Beijing."

After finishing speaking, Uncle Qi went to settle down. He also wanted to check the security and night patrols at home.

Qin Xiang looked at Lu Jiu and asked, "Brother Jiu came back with Uncle Qi?"

"Yes, I haven't returned to Dancheng yet. Did something happen to you here?" Lu Jiu looked at Qin Xiang worriedly, and said first that he had not returned to Dancheng because he knew what Qin Xiang wanted to ask.

After thinking about it, Qin Xiang told everything about what happened now, and then said: "It doesn't matter if you are back. Huang Xiu, who is coming forward for me now, has less identity and experience. He has no confidence in talking to that Eunuch Zhao and Zhang Shaohua." It’s not that good, it’s still a lot worse.”

Lu Jiu was happy and said: "Well, I will take care of Huang Xiu. There must always be someone who can do things by your side."

Qin Xi expressed his gratitude and said, "Thank you so much, Brother Ninth."

Lu Jiu smiled and said: "Xiangfang also has a little bit of my money in it, but it's not just your business. Besides, you are still my sister. Due to emotions and reasons, I shouldn't let it go. Let others bully you."

At this time, Zhang Shaohua was still entertaining guests in Yun Niang's room, with the purpose of stabbing Qin Xiang in the back.

Zhang Shaohua sat at the front seat, with Yun Niang pouring wine and serving dishes beside him. There were merchants on both sides lined up, all with beauties waiting on them.

Zhang Shaohua sent people to call these women from other brothels. As long as Yun Niang's mother had money, she would naturally not say anything.

Mr. Qian is very fat, and the woman next to him seems too petite. Fortunately, Mr. Qian's thoughts are not on women.

"We also understand what Mr. Zhang means. In fact, if we don't hand over the incense made for us by Master Qin's family, and wait for a while before handing it over to her, we still have to ask her for money, right?"

Several merchants today seemed to be less determined than before, but rather agreed half-heartedly.

Zhang Shaohua was so happy that he hugged Yun Niang beside him and kissed her on the cheek. Yun Niang shyly pushed him away and brought him a wine glass to feed him.

Zhang Shaohua relied on the power of the Zhang family in Dancheng and was always unstoppable. He actually didn't pay attention to the small Qijiang County, not to mention that the county magistrate here was close to his family. What's more, he now has a talisman: Eunuch Zhao.

Eunuch Zhao naturally knew that he came to talk to these people, but if the old guy didn't take action himself, he would leave everything to Zhang Shaohua.

Zhang Shaohua naturally knows what Eunuch Zhao is thinking. If something happens that cannot be rectified, he can deny it. But if the negotiation is settled, Eunuch Zhao can return to his life with a large amount of wealth. I think the nobles in the palace will also be happy. .

After several calculations, he didn't suffer any loss.

Moreover, this kind of thing happened not only in Qijiang County, but also in several other counties. Therefore, for the last place, they have already cooperated very well.

However, Zhang Shaohua did not expect that the merchants here did not agree with him immediately and took Qin Xiang out, so they themselves suffered no losses.

It's not that Mr. Qian and others are kind-hearted and sympathize with Qin Xiang.

But Xiao Chenyu's identity is Juren, and now he is studying in the capital. His future is uncertain. No one can say whether he will become famous in the future and deal with those who have taken action against Qin Xiang.

Another point is that although Qin Xiang is a concubine of the Qin family, she suddenly became rich. Where did she get the money? Everyone knew that her father was not behind her.

The courtyard where Qin Xiang and his wife live now is the villa of the Lu family in Dancheng. This means that if Qin Xiang is stabbed in the back, he will offend both the Qin family and the Lu family in Dancheng.

What's more, Xiao Chenyu and his wife now have an extremely good reputation in Qijiang County. Their reputation for filial piety is coupled with their reputation for kindness. In addition, their Xiangfang has recruited many apprentices and workers, which has benefited many families. Who dares to touch the Qin family easily? Xiangfang?

Just a eunuch far away in the capital? Just rely on the Zhang family whose base camp is in Dancheng?

Therefore, on the night when Master Qian and others met Zhang Shaohua for the first time, they quietly went to Xiao's house to meet Qin Xiang.

Qin Xiang meant, don't refuse, don't agree casually, hold off first.

As for dragging what? Qin Xiang didn't say how long it would take, but everyone knew it in their hearts. So, Zhang Shaohua decided to treat everyone again.

Zhang Shaohua invited many people, but he did not expect that the prices in Qijiang County were actually very high, especially for this Yun Niang, who was gentle and beautiful, but the charges were extremely cruel.

Zhang Shaohua's family was large and he didn't have a lot of money at his disposal, so he wanted to save some money.

As a result, she "accidentally" heard the maid next to Yun Niang complaining in a low voice.

"I thought the young masters in Dancheng were all as cheerful and generous as Mr. Lu Jiu. I didn't expect that the gap between young masters from the same four major families would be so big."

Yun Niang reprimanded the maid, and explained to Zhang Shaohua considerately: "Master Zhang is not easy either. Although he is being trained by the next generation of the family, there are too many brothers who are eyeing him, so he has to be more careful. Mr. Lu Jiu Of course it's different, he is an only son, and all the Lu family's property belongs to him, and no one will say a word about how he spends his money."

The maid continued to sigh: "Well, it's better for Master Lu Jiu to come. He never asks us to do anything more. He comes only to eat, drink and listen to music. We servants are very leisurely and relaxed. Moreover, when Master Jiu leaves, Every time, a box of silver is given to the girl, and we also benefit from it."

"How many Masters Lu Jiu are there in this world?" After saying this, Yun Niang said seriously: "Master Zhang is also a very easy man to serve. You tell the people below not to be nagging and to serve you carefully. I will give you something in the future." Compensated.”

These words fell into Zhang Shaohua's ears. On the one hand, he secretly resented the ignorance of those cheap servants. Compared with him and that playboy Lu Jiu, he was still at a disadvantage. On the other hand, he was a little moved by Yun Niang, a cheap woman. I didn’t expect that she could put herself in his shoes, so I would be better to treat her better in the future.
