Marrying into a poor family

Qin Yaoguang had already left with Lu Jiu. Things at home were the big deal. He stayed a little longer to wait for Lu Jiu and also to wait for Qin Xiang's shop to open before leaving.

As for the child's 100-day banquet, Qin Yaoguang will not wait any longer.

Qin Yaozu stepped forward and showed a decent smile to Qin Xiang who got off the carriage: "Sister Xiang is here, please come to the house to invite her!"

Qin Xi stood still and knelt down to salute Qin Yaozu. Qin Yaozu returned the salute, and the two of them walked towards the gate together.

Today, in order to welcome the guests, the door was opened, and Qin Xiang walked in through the door with great swagger.

When Qin Yaozu saw Qin Xiang's carriage approaching from afar, he had already sent someone to inform his mother, Mrs. Qin Si, who was hosting guests in the back house.

Mrs. Qin Si didn't want to see Qin Xiang, but her son talked to her for a long time, and even called his daughter-in-law and daughter Qin Yao to take turns to persuade her.

Her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Liu, was married into the Qin family, and her son also needed help from her natal family. Therefore, she could not give face to her daughter Qin Yao, but she could not completely ignore her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Liu.

However, she really didn't want to see Qin Xiang.

Therefore, Mrs. Qin Si, who was chatting with her in-laws, relatives of the Qin family in the capital, and family members of her son's colleagues and friends, felt a little unnatural on her face when she heard that Qin Xiang was coming.

Qin Yao hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Mom, you have a headache again. How about my daughter help you go to the back to take some medicine, and then come out to talk to the aunts and sisters-in-law."

Everyone also echoed with concern: "Yes, I'm not feeling well, so go and have a rest. We are all family members and will not be in the way."

Mrs. Liu also advised her mother-in-law to take a rest and leave it to her to entertain her.

So, after Mrs. Qin Si apologized to everyone again and again, she left with the support of her daughter.

As soon as Mrs. Qinsi returned to her yard, her expression changed, and her pretense of kindness was gone. The maids and women serving in the yard were all old people brought from their hometown of Dancheng. Er, why is Mrs. Qinsi unhappy? She doesn't dare to get into trouble and hides as far away as she can.

Qin Yao helped her mother into the house and sat down, then called someone to pour tea.

After drinking tea, Mrs. Qin Si felt better.

"I'm no longer a householder now. I can't even refuse a girl's visit. I can't do it anymore. I can't do it anymore!"

Qin Yao felt sorry for her mother and knew her pain. She walked over and squatted beside her, holding her mother's hand and looking up at her: "Mom, why do you torture yourself like this? You see, you are unhappy every day and have trouble sleeping every night. There are some white hairs on the temples, and there are fine lines at the corners of the eyes."

"Something happened to your father. Although your brother didn't blame me openly, he came back to rescue me and brought me to the capital to support me in my old age. But, Yao'er, your brother has changed. He is not the one we know. That person."

Qin Yao also knows that her eldest brother has changed a lot, becoming deeper and more hypocritical.

Although Qin Yaozu didn't like to talk much in the past, he was gentle, and he was as gentle as jade in dealing with people and things, and he was neither angry nor slow.

But now, Qin Yaozu has obviously become impatient, and he hides this impatience under a false smile, making people unpredictable and unable to understand what he is thinking. What is he going to do?

"Eldest brother can't help it. Our family is pretty good in Dancheng, but in this capital city full of powerful people, our family is no longer a help." Qin Yao did not say the rest of the words, but instead told the story about his father and mother. Qin Yaozu was greatly implicated.

What's more, no matter what happened to Qin Xiongfei, he was Qin Yaozu's biological father after all. He loved Qin Yaozu very much. Therefore, Qin Yaozu was probably worried about the fact that Qin Si's wife was jealous and angry and gave the poisoned Qin Xiongfei more medicine. , also dissatisfied.

However, whether it was for his own reputation, for the prosperity of his family, or simply for filial piety or for his mother, Qin Yaozu had to bear it all.

Qin Yao once heard her sister-in-law complain that Qin Yaozu had agreed to many harsh conditions in order to save his mother from his grandmother.

Qin Yao and his sister decided not to tell Mrs. Qin Si about this. She had been very strong all her life and thought she had paved the way for her children. It would be even more sad if they knew that she had become a stumbling block for her son's success.

Qin Xiang was personally escorted by Qin Yaozu into the reception hall. After greeting everyone, he sat down. Qin Yaozu handed Qin Xiang to Liu and hurried to the front door.

Mrs. Liu asked Qin Xiang if he wanted to see her mother-in-law?

Qin Xiang nodded in agreement, and the two of them led the maid and mother-in-law towards the residence of Mrs. Qin Si.

The two of them walked in front, holding hands, and Mrs. Liu introduced the scenery of her home to Qin Xiang. She looked like a sister-in-law with whom she was very affectionate.

"I have always wanted to meet this capable and beautiful sister of yours, but unfortunately, I have never had the chance. I am looking forward to today so that I can get to know you. When today is over, I will come to your door to bother you, but my sister doesn't want to It would be better if you don’t recognize me as your sister-in-law.”

"How could it be possible? It is my blessing that my sister-in-law is willing to recognize me as my sister. How can I extrapolate my blessing?"

Seeing that Qin Xiang was so easy to talk to, Mrs. Liu's smile became a little brighter and she became even more intimate.

Mrs. Liu is the head of the family and has a son and a daughter. Today is her daughter's 100-day feast.

Even though Mrs. Liu looks kind, she still has the arrogance of an official lady deep down.

It would have been impossible for her to lower her status and become friends with Qin Xiang, but who allowed Qin Xiang's shop to get the Queen Mother's plaque?

It’s nothing to get a plaque from the Queen Mother. After all, the Queen Mother has given a lot of things as rewards. Does she still remember who she gave them to? At most, I don't dare to let anyone come to this shop to cause trouble and collect protection money.

Therefore, what made Liu have such an attitude was actually the rumor that Qin Xiang and his wife went to Qifeng Mountain a few days ago and stayed one night before returning to the city in the evening of the next day.

Xiao Chenyu was just a student from a poor family, and she had heard Qin Yaozu tell her about Qin Xiang's background. She was the daughter of her father's wife, so what could she have?

However, it was such a couple who went to Qifeng Mountain Villa. This is a place that many people want to go to but fail to go to.

Just because Qifeng Villa is the villa of the Ninth Prince, it represents not only the current Princess Yaoxiang, but also the silent, huge, and mysterious Ninth Prince's Mansion behind it.

"I heard that my sister's shop has good incense sticks. Sister-in-law, I want to buy some as a gift. I will go to the shop tomorrow to see if my sister can come and accompany my sister-in-law and choose one for her. My sister-in-law is a person who trusts her own people! "

Qin Xiang nodded: "Of course you can. Whatever my sister-in-law wants, just take it!"

Mrs. Liu covered her lips and chuckled: "How can that work? You, don't do this anymore. Business is business. If everyone gives it away, how can you make money in the future? People will look down on you. When you are soft-tempered, you are easy to bully."

"With my sister-in-law here, who would bully me?" Qin Xiang also praised Mrs. Liu. The so-called fancy sedan chair is interesting if everyone carries it.
