Marrying into a poor family

The next day, Qin Xiang got up early and had breakfast with Xiao Chenyu. After sending him out, he went back to lie down for a while.

However, she quickly got up to tidy up, and then went to her own small warehouse.

The light in the room was not very good and there were boxes piled up, so Qinggu helped turn on the lamp and stayed with Qin Xiang.

Qinggu doesn't talk too much, is more steady, and has a simpler mind. Therefore, on the surface, she seems to be as popular with Qin Xiang as Qingcan, but in fact, Qinggu is more favored by Qin Xiang.

For example, the key to the warehouse has always been in Qinggu's hands.

Qing Can understands that her original intention to get married made Qin Xiang feel that she had second thoughts, so she is trying her best to make up for it now, and will not argue with Qing Gu over these issues.

There was no reply to the invitation sent to the Sun family yesterday, so Qin Xiang decided to choose the congratulatory gifts to send to the Sun family first.

This is equivalent to borrowing the Lu Jiu family's relationship, so the Lu family must not lose face.

After choosing a gift for Mr. Sun, I saw Qingcan walking from the corridor when I came out.

"Madam, this is the reply just sent by the Sun family. This is the letter sent by Master Lu Jiu."

After saying that, he raised the two envelopes he was holding in his hands to show Qin Xiang.

Qin Xiang nodded: "Go back to the house and watch!"

"Yes!" Qingcan hurriedly got out of the way and waited for Qin Xiang to pass by before following her along with Qinggu.

Qing Can also glanced at the tray Qing Gu held in his hand, knowing that it was a gift to the Sun family, so he didn't ask any more questions.

After returning to the house, Qin Xiang first read the reply from the Sun family, which invited Qin Xiang to go to the Sun family tomorrow.

Qin Xiang put down the reply and asked Qingcan and Qinggu to help prepare the clothes and matching accessories to wear when going to Sun's house tomorrow.

Then he opened the letter sent by Lu Jiu, which introduced the relationship between the Sun family and the situation of the Sun family in detail.

Although it is not very detailed, it can be seen that the Lu family must have placed someone in the Sun family.

Qin Xiang read it carefully twice, closed her eyes and thought about it, remembering the situation of the Sun family one by one in her mind, and then threw the letter into the brazier and burned it.

Seeing the flames licking up the letter paper, Qin Xiang smiled bitterly: Being cautious has been engraved in her bones.

Lu'er came with Lu Mei to say hello. After saying hello in a decent manner, she threw herself into her mother's arms, raised her little face and went out to play.

Qin Xiang touched the child's cheek and felt a little sorry for him. Qin Xiang was very busy every day and rarely had time to accompany him, let alone go shopping or play with him.

"When mother is done with this period of work, you can spend some time with Lu'er, okay?" The incense shop is about to open, and Qin Xiang really doesn't have time, not to mention she has to visit the Sun family tomorrow.

Luer pursed his lips and did not continue to make trouble. He never liked to be intimate with his mother. In fact, he followed Su Shi most of the time. He probably liked brother Baoer more.

After Luer ate two pieces of pastry, Lumei coaxed the child away.

The next day, Qin Xi got dressed up before going out.

The courtyard door opened, and Qin Xi led Li Siniang, Qing Can and Qing Gu out together.

Outside the gate, Lu Jiu was hunching his neck and telling the coachman to drive slower for a while, so as not to cause any trouble.

After hearing the voice, Lu Jiu turned his head and saw Qin Xiang in a splendid dress. He was stunned immediately, and then smiled and said, "I'm just going to see Mrs. Sun. Is it so serious?" "Yes, Brother Jiu doesn't understand this. The thoughts of the woman in the back house." Qin Xiang teased Lu Jiu a little, and then got into his carriage, followed by Li Siniang and Qingcan Qinggu.

Lu Jiu understands brothel girls better, but he really doesn’t know much about serious housewives.

Faced with Qin Xian's teasing, she could only rub her nose and get into her carriage, and then urged the driver to set off.

In her previous life, Qin Xiang had lived in the capital for several years, but she had hardly gone out for shopping. As a result, the only things she was familiar with were the Xie family's back house and Zuihong Mansion.

As the carriage drove through a busy street, Qin Xi opened a corner of the curtain and looked at the pedestrians and markets outside.

Seeing monkey performers and candy sellers on the roadside, Qin Xi suddenly said: "Next time, let's take Lu'er and Bao'er out to play. It's quite fun outside."

Li Siniang nodded in agreement.

I brought Li Siniang out with me today because Li Siniang is more stable. In addition, she has served the old lady of the Li family, so she naturally knows the rules and etiquette of the back house of a wealthy family.

When he arrived at the door of Sun's house, Lu Jiu got off the carriage first, passed by Qin Xiang's carriage and said: "It's cold outside, sister, don't get down yet. I'll call the door, and you can come out after the door opens."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Ninth Brother!" Qin Xi said through the curtain.

Lu Jiu smiled and walked towards the door. Lu Jiu's servant clicked the door knocker. After a while, a questioning voice came from inside, and the door opened a crack.

A man guarding the door poked his head out, saw it was Lu Jiu, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Mr. Lu Jiu is here. My wife gave the order early this morning. If Mr. Lu Jiu comes, don't wait for the report. Open the door first." Please come in, Mr. Jiu."

As he spoke, he opened the door, and two men came out, hunched over and smiling fawningly at Lu Jiu.

Lu Jiu didn't come often, but every time he came, he would reward the servants who opened the door. Therefore, even if Mrs. Sun didn't give instructions, their attitude was very good. They usually wouldn't let Lu Jiu stand outside and wait. Please go in and warm yourself by the fire in the concierge while you wait for the message to be sent inside.

Sure enough, Lu Jiu was very generous today. He handed over a purse from the boy's hand, saying that he wanted to buy wine for the brothers. The two gatekeepers immediately beamed with joy.

One person is here to accompany me, and the other person went to the backyard to report the news.

Lu Jiu said hello, and Qin Xi got down from the carriage.

The servants of the Sun family have seen many beauties, but such gorgeous women are rare.

Qin Xiang rarely wears such gorgeous clothes. Most of the time, she is very simple and casual. Moreover, she likes to wear plain clothes and wear only one hairpin in her bun.

But today Qin Xiang not only wore a golden crown, but also had a large and beautiful silk flower.

The exquisitely embroidered clothes are full of luxury, and her hands are folded in soft and white gauntlets. After getting off the car, a pair of phoenix eyes glanced at the door of Sun's house, which can be described as looking forward to it.

Qin Xiang's eyebrows are more like people from the capital. The peaks of her eyebrows are slightly sharp, and the ends of her eyes are upturned, which also makes her look a bit sharp. Therefore, today, Qin Xiang also specially trimmed her eyebrows and lightly swept her eyebrows to weaken the sharpness. However, some of her natural traits The temperament still cannot be concealed.

The servants of the Sun family took one look and lowered their eyes, almost holding their breath; then they felt funny, she was just a wife with no official position, so why should he be afraid of her?

Of course, the Sun family's servants still don't understand that some people don't just rely on their status to be feared.

Seeing the appearance of the servants of the Sun family, Qin Xiang sighed in a low voice and whispered to Li Siniang: "It seems that I can't learn to be tender and affectionate!"

Li Siniang snickered, lowered her head and replied in a low voice: "Madam, you don't need to learn that. You have a unique style, and it's impossible to pretend to be weak."

Qin Xiang, who was deeply convinced, raised her feet and walked inside: "Let's go and meet Mrs. Sun for a while. I and the Lu family have so many goods, we can't let her take them away casually. What's going on? There should be an explanation!"
