Marrying into a poor family

The Sun family's house is not big, and compared to Qin Xiang's family, it is pitifully small.

But Mrs. Sun, the nanny who came to pick her up, was filled with pride.

The wet nurse's surname was Yu, and her husband's surname was Tong. Everyone called her Tong's mother. Of course, this was how she introduced herself to Qin Xiang.

Qin Xiang nodded politely and said, "Mother, I'm sorry!"

"Mrs. Xiao, you're welcome!"

Mother Tong smiled kindly. When she saw Qin Xiang's beauty, she couldn't help praising her: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, I didn't expect Lu Jiuye's girl to be so pretty. She doesn't look like a Dancheng person. I looked at her features. He looks a bit like a native of the capital city."

Qin Xiang's brows moved slightly and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, in response to this topic.

Tong's mother had served her master all her life, but she couldn't tell that Qin Xiang was unwilling to talk to her in detail, so she stopped talking and led Qin Xiang and the others inside. However, I felt a little unhappy: He was just good-looking, so he treated Qiao like this. He was also from a small place, so he couldn't clearly see the situation and his own status.

Because she was a little dissatisfied with Qin Xiang's "coldness", Tong's mother decided to dampen her spirits, so she pointed to the scenery in the yard and introduced it.

On the surface, it is to introduce the scenery of the Sun family, but in fact, it is naturally to show off.

The Sun family's yard was considered thoughtful, but in the eyes of Lu Jiu and Qin Xi, it turned out to be stingy.

It's not that Qin Xiang is arrogant and looks down on her, but the show off tone of the child's mother is really annoying.

Qin Xi didn't speak much, but now she saw the benefit of bringing Li Siniang.

She and Tong's mother were chatting without interruption. Tong's mother said that this rockery stone was salvaged from the middle of a lake and was transported there with great difficulty. Li Siniang exclaimed and said that it was not easy.

Mother Tong pointed to a plum tree in full bloom and said that it was an old plum tree for many years. Every winter, the master loved to admire the plum trees under this tree, or invite friends and colleagues to drink and chat here.

Li Siniang was busy praising the beauty of the plum blossoms. Although there is no

Qingcan and Qinggu looked at each other and thought of their home in Qijiang County. The plum garden didn't need too many plum trees like this.

Only Lu Jiu, who was following behind, quietly rolled his eyes. These were not purchased with the Lu family's money, but now they had to be staged in front of him. This shows that the word identity is really, very important.

Lu Jiu couldn't help but think: After my brother-in-law passes the Jinshi examination and becomes a high official, I wonder who will dare to look down on our Lu family.

Thinking of this, I felt a little happier. My father had supported so many people, so he was not as reliable as Xiao Chenyu, whom I had met accidentally.

Zhang's mother led everyone to the reception hall, pointed to a row of armchairs on both sides, and invited Qin Xi and Lu Jiu to sit down.

Qingcan and Qinggu automatically stood behind Qin Xiang, and Li Siniang stood beside Qin Xiang, ready to serve and listen to Qin Xiang's instructions at any time.

Aunt Zhang looked at Qin Xiang's style and applauded in her heart. She didn't look like a merchant's daughter.

She clapped her hands gently, and several maids with buns in their buns lined up and walked out of the cubicle to serve tea and snacks.

From coming out to putting down the cups and saucers, and then filing out, not a single sound was made, which shows that the rules of the Sun family are extremely strict, almost to the point of harshness.

Qin Xi picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The fragrance of the tea overflowed, and she couldn't help but praise in her heart: Good tea.

Qingcan and Qinggu had also seen the rules of wealthy families in the Qin family and Lu family in Dancheng, but they were not as good as the Sun family.

The two of them exchanged a look inadvertently, and both understood what the other was thinking: It seems that it is not easy to survive in the Sun family!

Both of them are secretly glad to live in the Xiao family. At least, as long as you don't make mistakes, no one will care about your small words and deeds.

Instead, the old lady said that she liked them to be happy, talk and laugh, and not make the house rigid, which would take away the fun.

Mrs. Sun made them wait for a stick of incense before finally arriving. Mrs. Sun's face looked a little bad today. Although she applied a lot of powder, she still couldn't hide the haggard look on her face.

"It's really rude. I've been delayed in handling some household matters today. I hope you two won't be offended!"

Mrs. Sun is good at appearance. She has been taught how to treat others since she was a child. As long as she is willing, she can make no mistakes.

Lu Jiu stood up with Qin Xiang and saluted Mrs. Sun, and introduced Qin Xiang: "Aunt, this is my mother's goddaughter. Her maiden name is Qin and her husband's surname is Xiao."

"Mrs. Xiao, please sit down!"

"Mrs. Sun, my bestie's name is Xiang. Mrs. Sun is the elder, so just call me Qin Xiang."

Mrs. Sun was also very good at looking at people's dishes. Seeing Qin Xiang's clothes, appearance, and conversational manners, she mentally gave her a few steps to get along with her.

The two chatted for a while, but left Lu Jiu aside.

Qin Xiang turned to help him: "Didn't Brother Ninth make an appointment with someone to talk about something? Now that Mrs. Sun and I have gotten to know each other, we can just talk among ourselves. Why don't you go and get busy first?"

After saying this, Qin Xiang and Lu Jiu looked at Mrs. Sun together.

Qin Xiang explained with a smile: "Brother Ninth originally made an appointment to talk about the opening of our shop, but he was worried that I would be rude if I came to see my wife alone, so he insisted on sending me here."

Mrs. Sun tested Lu Jiu a little the day before yesterday, and he was so frightened. Mrs. Sun was naturally angry, so she deliberately ignored him today in order to show him some power.

Now that Qin Xiang was obviously coming to his rescue, Mrs. Sun didn't want to let him go, but the child's mother behind her gently tugged on her sleeves, signaling Mrs. Sun not to pass.

So, she smiled and picked up the tea cup to see off the guests.

Lu Jiu stood up to leave, and Mrs. Sun told him meaningfully: "Lu Jiu, logically speaking, I can't say these words, but since you called me aunt, my aunt will be so embarrassed and verbose."

Lu Jiu bowed and listened: "My aunt is willing to teach my nephew a lesson. That is my nephew's blessing. Why should I ask my freshman to tell me? If my aunt has something to say, please speak clearly."

Mrs. Sun was still happy about Lu Jiu's attitude and thought to herself: I can't sleep with you, so I can't train you?

In any case, Lu Jiu is a merchant, and there is a huge gap between him and himself.

What could she say? It's not just a random training out of nothing.

Seeing Lu Jiu bending down and listening to the lecture of the woman in front of him, Qin Xiang felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Although Lu Jiu always showed off to her as her brother, Qin Xiang did not really regard Lu Jiu as her brother.

The two were tied together for business from the beginning, for profit, not emotion.

Even though she recognized Mrs. Lu as her godmother, Mrs. Lu was very kind to her, but Qin Xiang still had more face.

She would never bother the Lu family if she could. The close relationship was very important in Qin Xiang's heart.

At first she only cared about the Su family, then Xiao Chenyu, and then her son Luer.

Of course, her husband and Uncle Qi are also people she trusts.

However, just now, Qin Xiang saw Lu Jiu being humiliated, and suddenly felt dissatisfied and aggrieved.

She looked at Mrs. Sun, smiled and interrupted her endless lecture: "Mrs. Sun taught you a lesson very well. As a brother, I always make my godfather and godmother worry about me at home, but what can I do? , they only have such a son who cannot be beaten or scolded. If they know that someone can help them teach their son a lesson, the godfather and godmother will definitely be grateful to Mrs. Sun!"

Mrs. Sun's words stopped abruptly, she pursed her lips and looked at Qin Xiang, smiled, and said, "It's just me meddling in other people's business!"
