Marrying into a poor family

Qin Xiang had just changed her clothes when she got home, when Su came over.

"Did you see Mrs. Qin Si today? Did she bully you?"

Every time Qin Xi met Mrs. Qin Si, Mrs. Su would routinely ask questions like this!

"Mom, she couldn't do anything to me before, and it's even more so now. You don't have to worry about me!"

Qin Xiang poured a cup of tea for her mother and asked, "Is Lu'er still obedient?"

"Be obedient, you don't have to worry about these things." Mrs. Su felt very sorry for her daughter, knowing how difficult it was for her to earn so much of her business.

When Qin Xiang talked about the Liu family, she actually gave a relatively good evaluation: "With the concerted efforts of Qin Yaozu and the Liu family, the fourth family of the Qin family may be really good in the future."

Su Shi listened and nodded: "It can be seen that women are also very important to a family."

This is true, just take a look at the fourth room of the Qin family and you will know: Qin Xiongfei was messing around when he was young, and instead of stopping Qin Xiongfei, Mrs. Qin’s fourth wife followed him and made plans to benefit from it, using the daughter of the other family as a tool for the prosperity of the family.

After chatting for a while, Qin Xiang mentioned Qin Yan.

In front of Mrs. Liu, Qin Xiang still acted indifferent, but in front of Mrs. Su, she took off all disguises and showed a hint of vulnerability and sadness.

No matter how she defended herself, she felt that Qin Yan actually suffered for her.

Su Shi also thought so, but she didn't dare to say it, let alone even think about it.

"In addition to having an aunt, does Qin Yan also have a younger brother?" Su asked suddenly.

"Yes, but I don't know where you are now?" Qin Xiang answered a little absent-mindedly.

Mrs. Su stopped asking questions and talked about other things. The expenses at home were too high. Ms. Su calculated them carefully and told Qin Xiang the accounts.

The mother and daughter talked relaxedly for a while about family matters.

Before leaving, Mrs. Su said: "If you have the ability, go and see Qin Yan. It would be better if you can help her. If you can't help her, you should let the Xie family know that she also has a natal family." , I will be more or less scrupulous about it.”

"Once a woman gets married, it's like living a new life." Su said with emotion: "If you don't marry well, you will live in purgatory, miserable and have nowhere to talk; if you marry well, then you will be living in purgatory. Just soaking in the honey pot every day."

With a sigh, Su left.

Qin Xiang couldn't calm down for a long time.

Like her mother, she experienced two marriages. The first time was unfortunate, but fortunately, she met her beloved the second time.

When a woman's life is better, her heart will become softer, she will be more charitable and kind, and she will be happy to give to others.

But if you are living in dire straits, how can you have the energy and heart to pity others?

Calling Li Siniang, Qin Xiang told her about Qin Yan and asked her to prepare New Year's Eve gifts and follow the Qin family's young mistress to Xie's house the day after tomorrow.

"I told you to go to Xie's house. You have to remember a few things!" Qin Xiang was so serious that Li Siniang also became more serious.

"First of all, I'm not trying to curry favor with the Xie family, so don't kowtow to the Xie family."

"Yeah!" Li Siniang nodded.

"Secondly, I don't do it to show outsiders, so I don't need to gain fame or benefits from this matter."

"Okay!" Li Siniang hesitated before agreeing this time.

Then he looked at the gift list full of pages in his hand. It was a gift written by Qin Xiang for the Xie family. It was very detailed, even the newborn child was included.

Moreover, these gifts have different values, some are good, and some just look good.

Qin Xiang said again: "The reason why I asked you to go is to see how she is doing for me? If she wants me to help her, no matter what, you agree to do it." This time, Li Siniang hesitated and asked : "Madam, what if her request is too much? Will you agree to it too?"

Qin Xi smiled: "She won't make excessive demands. At most."

She sighed, with endless sadness in her tone: "The most she wants is for me to help her take care of her aunt and brother."

Li Siniang opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word, but her eyes suddenly turned red. In order to prevent herself from losing her composure, she lowered her head and said, "Yes, Siniang understands what Madam means."

"Although I didn't mean to do it, it is still the cause and effect of what I owe. When it is time to pay back, I will pay it back. Don't owe too much."

When Li Siniang left, Qin Xiang was in a complicated mood and couldn't calm down for a long time, so she started writing.

Her ultimate goal is actually to get Qin Yan away from the Xie family before the Xie family is in trouble. In short, she couldn't let Qin Yan suffer the same pain as she did and go to Zuihong Mansion. What's more, Qin Yan may not have the good luck he had back then.

Thinking about it now makes me smile bitterly. I went to Zuihong Mansion to work as a prostitute and was still serving men. At that time, I felt that I was already lucky.

But when you enter a place like Zuihonglou, there is no such thing as clean and innocent. You are just deceiving yourself and others.

Suddenly, she found that she had written down several "Zuihonglou" without realizing it, and she felt sick in her heart. I smeared it with ink, but still felt uneasy, so I threw the paper into the charcoal stove and burned it, which made me feel a little better.

The business of "Qixiang" incense shop is extremely booming.

Because there is an endless stream of people buying goods during the Chinese New Year, most of them come because of the Queen Mother’s plaque.

Seeing that they were all nobles, high-ranking officials, and aristocratic families, the shopkeeper finally couldn't hold himself back, so he asked Qin Xiang for help.

So Qin Xiang went to "Qixiang" to guard it every day.

In fact, she only needs to sit in her own room on the second floor. All the workers seem to have a backbone and work extra hard.

Qin Xiang's room is very large, half of which is a place for making incense.

Now Qin Xiang is sitting on a chair, instructing Lian Er to make incense, while Lan Hua is watching.

Someone knocked lightly at the door, and the shopkeeper said: "Madam, someone is looking for you!"

Qin Xiang said to Lanhua: "Lanhua, open the door and ask the shopkeeper to come in and talk."

Lanhua strode over, opened the door suddenly, and asked blankly: "Madam, let you go in to talk."

The shopkeeper was used to this strong girl's temperament and didn't mind her rudeness.

He even knew that orchids were very popular with his wife, so he cupped his hands towards the orchids and said, "Can you please open the door for me, Miss Orchid!"

The shopkeeper was polite, but Lanhua didn't understand this. She stood aside and looked directly at the shopkeeper, meaning why are you lingering, why don't you come in?

The shopkeeper smiled and shook his head, walked to Qin Xiang's side, bowed his hands, and then said: "Madam, the owner of the incense shop opposite wants to sell the incense shop to us, and also said that he wants to work in our shop. .”

"He himself is the boss, why would he come to work with us?" Qin Xi couldn't understand and asked in surprise.

Lian'er also stopped what she was doing and looked at the shopkeeper curiously with her round eyes. But just when she was full of curiosity, even Orchid also moved closer, eager to hear what the shopkeeper had to say. What?

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "I persuaded him in the same way, but he insisted on seeing my wife and told her in person. I was also pestered so much that I agreed to come and talk to my wife."

"What's his name?" Qin Xi asked.

"Lu Xiangyin!"
