Marrying into a poor family

Qin Xiang returned home. Mrs. Su, Aunt Sang and the children came over. The room was very lively for a while, and Qin Xiang's dizziness was relieved.

After changing her clothes, she came out and held the child in her arms to talk to her mother and Aunt Sang.

Although he had been away from his mother for some time, Luer still relied on her very much. However, the child could not sit still and soon started clamoring to go out to play, saying that he wanted to play with brother Baoer.

After the child went out, Qin Xiang saw that her mother was hesitant to speak, so she took the initiative to say that Uncle Qi was escorting the goods with Xiao Chenyu and would be back later.

Su's face turned red and she glared at her daughter.

Seeing her mother's shyness, Qin Xiang quickly changed the subject and asked where Bao'er was. Su Shi was also happy to talk about other things. She only said that Bao'er had gone to school and it was time to come back depending on the weather.

It is actually a bit early for a four-year-old child to go to a private school for enlightenment.

It's just that Qin Xiang understands Li Siniang's mood and even more understands Bao'er's responsibility. So she nodded and said, "Sister-in-law must ensure that Bao'er has a promising future, and it is natural for Bao'er to study. I just feel sorry for Bao'er, who has to bear so many things at such a young age."

After having Lu'er, Qin Xiang just wanted to smooth the road ahead for her son and let him live a safe and smooth life. She never thought about making Lu'er a successful and famous person.

Qin Xiang recovered her thoughts and asked again: "No one from the Li family found Bao'er?"

Su shook her head and sighed heavily: "That person named Li is so ridiculous, what does he know?"

Then she mentioned that one time she took Bao'er and Lu'er out for shopping, and saw Li Dongliang standing outside, and met Bao'er face to face, and he stupidly said that the two children looked really good.

The father and son didn't know each other when they met, but they were both angry and funny.

But for Li Siniang, this should be the best result.

The Xiao family's house is very large, but the population is not large, so they set aside a yard to serve as a warehouse and send all the incense products brought from Qijiang County into it.

The incense ingots belonging to the Lu family were also sent to the Xiao family's warehouse. As for the Qin family's, they naturally belonged to the Qin family.

The goods were delivered one after another, but Xiao Chenyu and Lu Jiu did not return. Qinggu came back and said: "The gates of the capital are strictly inspected. The second master and the ninth master are waiting at the gate, fearing that the goods behind them may be damaged." Something went wrong.”

Qin Xiang looked at the sky and saw that it was getting dark early in the capital. She was a little worried that if the city gate was closed later and the goods had not been delivered yet, there would be trouble.

After thinking about it, he still called Li Siniang, who had returned with Qinggu, and asked if there was a place to stay outside the city. It must be safe and large enough to store the goods that have not yet been returned.

"Madam, don't be anxious. The Second Master and Lu Jiuye have already made arrangements. There is a villa just outside the city gate. You can rent it to others. You just need to give some money."

Hearing that arrangements had been made, Qin Xiang didn't ask in detail. Lu Jiu and Xiao Chenyu were both cautious people, so they would naturally do a good job.

The North City Gate is close to the main dock, so foreign cargo ships entering the capital always use the North City Gate.

Of course, there is a stretch of mountains outside the North City Gate. It is a good place for hunting in the capital.

Many villas were built at the foot of the mountain, where their masters could rest when they went hunting. They also provided daily food such as vegetables, fruits, chickens, ducks, and fish for their families.

Therefore, in and out of the North City Gate, in addition to goods, there are also children of aristocratic families who go hunting and their accompanying servants.

The sky was gradually getting dark, and the goods only entered part of the city, because as long as there were children of aristocratic families riding back, they had to give way first. But the situation is stronger than the people, and they are all people who cannot afford to offend. Lu Jiu and Qin Yaoguang, the uncle of the Qin family, have nothing to do. They are considered figures in Dancheng, but in the capital, merchants like them are nothing.

This is the place where all the power in the world gathers. It has the most wealth in the world, and the prosperity of the city is jaw-dropping.

Of course, there are also many powerful people.

So when another wave of young men and women on horseback rushed over, Lu Jiu wanted to curse.

He lowered his voice and complained to Xiao Chenyu: "Why do these people like to run out in such a cold weather? Isn't it comfortable to have a fire at home and eat wine?"

Xiao Chenyu glanced at Lu Jiu's face, which had turned paler due to cold and hunger, and smiled: "You don't know this. The Queen Mother's birthday is coming soon, and the Queen Mother once lamented that it was cold and her knees hurt. So, these The children of aristocratic families and noble families all want to go out and hunt precious and beautiful animals in person, so that the furs can be made into cloaks or blankets and given to the Queen Mother, in order to win the favor of the Queen Mother and the Emperor."

Lu Jiu raised his face slightly and looked at the finely falling snowflakes in the sky. The snowflakes fell on his eyelashes. He shook his head vigorously. The cloak on his head slipped off, and his beautiful face was reflected in the lantern just lit at the city gate. Next, it is as beautiful as an immortal.

This scene was seen by a group of men and women who happened to be entering the city, and they all looked surprised.

However, in the eyes of these people, it is amazing, but not shocking.

No one stopped and entered the city gate one after another.

The guards at the city gate began to call Xiao Chenyu and Lu Jiu impatiently, telling them not to enter the city today and to quickly send them to the villa to take shelter from the wind and snow.

Xiao Chenyu looked at the sky and thought it was so good. He couldn't finish the journey anyway, so he might as well load the goods tomorrow.

Uncle Qi said that he and Lao Sun went to the villa to watch, and asked Xiao Chenyu to go home first.

Lu Jiu was not a person who could endure hardships, so he also asked his trustworthy people to go to the villa to look at the goods. He also ordered his servants to obey Uncle Qi's instructions and arrangements. No matter what happened, Uncle Qi's orders would be the main ones. .

The Qin family didn't have many things, and most of them were taken away first. Only a little bit was left, so they discussed with Lu Jiu and Xiao Chenyu to bring all their own things into the city.

Xiao Chenyu still respected this uncle, so he agreed. Naturally, Lu Jiu wouldn't care about such trivial matters. The two of them took the initiative to help discuss with the city guards to let the Qin family's goods enter the city.

The guards were unwilling, even if Qin Yaoguang offered money to bribe him. They just said that they were closing the city gate and had no intention of carefully checking the goods.

Just at this time, Qin Yaozu, the eldest son of Master Qin Si and the fourth in the Qin family, arrived.

Qin Yaozu, who was wearing a sixth-grade official uniform, got off the carriage and stepped forward to give away the money that the eldest brother of the Qin family could not give away.

Then he urged everyone to hurry up and deliver goods to the city, and now the inspections were not so careful.

Qin Yaozu turned around and walked towards Lu Jiu and Xiao Chenyu. He and Lu Jiu had known each other before. However, Qin Yaozu was a child who was good at reading and very ambitious since he was a child, and Lu Jiu's reputation was like that.

One of them is a positive teaching material, and the other is a negative teaching material.

After all, Qin Yaoguang belongs to the eldest family and has no direct relationship or conflict with Xiao Chenyu and Qin Xiang. However, Qin Yaozu is different. After all, he is the biological son of the fourth wife of Qin, and he is also a vested interest in the concubines married by the fourth family member of the Qin family.

"You are my brother-in-law Xiao Chenyu, right? My name is Qin Yaoguang, and I am Qin Xiang's brother. You should call me fourth brother."
