Marrying into a poor family

When Qin Xiang sent the first batch of spices to the county government, it was already seven days later.

The things were delivered in a very high-profile manner.

Some of the people at Qin's Incense Shop were carrying burdens, while others were holding trays with both hands. In both the burdens and the trays, spices were neatly placed, with a red seal on the top. The word happiness and longevity.

The endless procession walked for several streets, and at intervals there were two servants playing gongs and drums, singing in unison: "Congratulations on the Queen Mother's birthday, Qin's Fragrance House sends you congratulatory gifts."

The leader was Lu Jiu, riding on a tall horse, smiling and nodding at everyone.

It must be said that Lu Jiu, who was wearing an exquisite and luxurious brocade robe, was very eye-catching and attracted everyone's attention. Some of the bolder girls and young wives looked at him and laughed and discussed.

Yun Niang stood in front of the second floor window of a restaurant, looking at Lu Jiu who was passing by in high spirits, her eyes a little moist.

The maid handed over a handkerchief, and she took it, wiped the corners of her eyes, and sighed softly: "He is still so dazzling."

It's a pity that she was born into the wrong family and made such a living. If not, could she have dreamed of marrying him?

But then she thought, if she hadn't done this for a living, how could she have had so many happy days with him.

Enough, enough, Yun Niang kept saying to herself, those days with him were enough for her to last until the day she died.

"He is so kind to that Mrs. Xiao Er!" Yun Niang said in a low voice. The maid next to her didn't hear it. She turned to look at Yun Niang, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions.

"Girl, let's go back. Mr. Zhang said that he would come to have dinner at noon today, and the girl has to go back early to bathe and dress up so that she can meet the guests."

Of course, the most important thing is that she went back late, and her mother wanted to punish her, the little maid.

For some reason, Lu Jiu seemed to have telepathy. He suddenly raised his head and glanced at where Yun Niang was. Yun Niang subconsciously hid to the side, avoiding looking at Lu Jiu.

The little maid was surprised: "Girl, what's wrong with you?"

What's wrong? Yun Niang also wanted to ask herself what happened?

What is she hiding from? What is she afraid of? What on earth is she still hoping for?

Lu Jiu did not see Yun Niang, but saw the profile of Yun Niang's maid.

He stopped smiling and didn't smile much the rest of the way.

How come he doesn't know Yun Niang's thoughts after he has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, but he doesn't want to be restrained, so he likes to go to places like that to do business. As long as he gives enough money, he will get everything.

But someone is about to get emotional, and what's even more frightening is that only one party is emotional.

Lu Jiu didn't like his wife Huang. Before getting engaged, he had a good talk with Huang.

He said that he would not like her very much, but if Huang still wanted to marry him, then he would also promise not to take concubines or touch other women outside.

However, he could only ensure that his body would not act randomly, but he could not give her a warm and sincere feeling.

Huang agreed and was still very determined to marry him.

Lu Jiu was still hesitant, but Huang cried and said that her situation was not good, and only by marrying Lu Jiu could her mother live a better life in the Huang family.

I don’t know what moved Lu Jiu, but in short, Lu Jiu agreed to marry her. As I was thinking wildly, I was almost at the county government office.

The county magistrate of the county government office and the cold-faced Eunuch Zhao were accompanying Xing Xing, while Zhang Shaohua on the side was drinking tea with nothing to do.

During this period, he spent a lot of money on entertaining guests every day, while Eunuch Zhao only had fun and enjoyed himself in the county government's back house.

He had almost spent the money he had brought, so he thought about asking Eunuch Zhao to allocate some of the money he collected for urgent use, and make up for it when the people who went back to Dancheng to get the money came back. However, Eunuch Zhao was actually unwilling, saying that it was The things that belong to the public family and others respect the Queen Mother, no one should even think about touching the things here.

This is actually true. But if it weren't for Zhang Shaohua's help in coming up with ideas and relying on the Zhang family's influence to come from one county to another, how could Eunuch Zhao, a foreign "monk", have managed to achieve so many fates?

Especially after learning about the tricks that Eunuch Zhao played in the county government, Zhang Shaohua was even more disdainful of him.

In addition, Zhang Shaohua's biological sister is about to go to the palace to serve the Queen Mother. Of course, the ultimate goal is to be close to the palace and become the emperor's woman.

Besides, they had to part ways anyway. Zhang Shaohua had long seen that Eunuch Zhao was no longer willing to protect the Zhang family, so he didn't want to curry favor with the eunuch anymore.

But what he never expected was that Qin Xiang actually dared to deliver the things that were about to be dedicated to the Queen Mother to the county government in such an exaggerated way with drums and gongs beating.

"This is not a betrothal gift or a dowry. How can you show off like this? You still carry it one by one and show it to everyone. You actually dare to parade in the street. I heard that I walked several streets."

Eunuch Zhao's face was livid, he banged the table and cursed angrily.

"Although it is something donated to the Queen Mother, it is too much to make such a fuss known to everyone."

After scolding, Eunuch Zhao looked at the county magistrate again: "Tell me, does Mrs. Xiao's second wife think too little of you and me? She spent so much time, didn't she just want to tell everyone that we can borrow the Queen Mother's help? Are you searching for her things in the name of others?"

Zhang Shaohua pressed his upturned lips and said: "Actually, maybe she wants to tell others that everyone should learn from her and be more generous. After all, it is the Queen Mother's birthday, and many people are still writing about it. It's really It’s not pleasant. Maybe if Mrs. Xiao Er does this, everyone will take action.”

No matter what, Eunuch Zhao felt that the matter seemed too high-profile.

If you use an ox cart, it only takes a few carts to pull it, but that damn woman insists on using it in this way. There are only a few things in a tray, which is beautifully arranged, but

To the people who didn't know what was going on, this was really shocking.

Eunuch Zhao suddenly asked the county magistrate: "Where did she find so many people? Did she invite them from outside?"

"Wherever she needs help, she has a lot of people in Xiangfang and so many apprentices. Now, in Qijiang County, this Qin Xiang is probably much higher than the county magistrate. After all, she can make Many people learn crafts, and many families have enough to eat!”

Zhang Shaohua said this with a smile, but in reality it was a bit heart-wrenching.

The county magistrate didn't show off his face, and he didn't have any good impressions of the legitimate son of the Zhang family. He probably felt the same as Eunuch Zhao, and he was using up the last of his patience with the Zhang family.

However, I have to say that Qin Xiang's behavior really made the county magistrate very unhappy.

But in the current situation, he really didn't dare to touch Qin Xiang, and he couldn't even take the opportunity to hit her.

Lu Jiu and Huang Xiu came in together, followed by Hu Zi who was wearing new clothes. Hu Zi still had an incense stick hanging on his waist. Today Hu Zi smiled at Zhang Shaohua as soon as he came in.

Zhang Shaohua has been hanging out with Yun Niang recently and almost forgot about Hu Zi. Unexpectedly, when this kid smiled, the son's thoughts in his heart were brought out again.
