Marrying into a poor family

At Qin Xian's signal, the shopkeeper sat on a round stool and replied.

"As for the Lu family, our ancestors are also outsiders, but they have lived in the capital for three generations. Lu Xiangyin's grandfather came from other places to open this incense shop. Since then, he has made a fortune and bought some shops and real estate. However, he was Lu Xiangyin’s father was completely ruined.”

"Later, Lu Xiangyin's mother and his father died successively, and this shop was saved."

Qin Xiang frowned: "So, this shop must be very important to the Lu family. Why does he want to sell it so lightly? Is it because the business can't continue?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed: "There seems to be some trouble in his family. As for business, it was barely manageable before, but now as soon as we open our business, their business is..."

"Is there any trouble?" Qin Xiang was not happy about the trouble, but she was not afraid of it.

She stood up and walked to the window, looking at the shop opposite.

Looking from the second floor, there is a large yard behind the shop opposite.

"Then the yard behind it also belongs to this shop?"

The shopkeeper hadn't seen it from the second floor, but he didn't know. He only knew that the shop opposite was not big.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper also came over and looked at the shop opposite.

"It should be. It looks like it occupies a lot of space!" The shopkeeper took a closer look and said, "The backyard of this shop is close to another street. However, the street over there is more remote and there are almost no shops. of."

The shopkeeper's surname is Wu. He came to the capital from Dancheng with his wife and children. He is a person who works sincerely.

"Shopkeeper Wu, do you think it's feasible if the shop opposite is used as a warehouse?" Qin Xi asked.

"This warehouse? Isn't it too big? Our upstairs is enough."

Old Wu was a little hesitant. He didn't really want his boss to buy the shop opposite, because Lu Xiangyin was a local after all. If he really came to "Qixiang", he, the shopkeeper, would probably have to leave.

"Shopkeeper Wu, please go and call Lu Dong's family, and I'll talk to him personally." Qin Xiang saw shopkeeper Wu's reluctance, but had no intention of appeasing shopkeeper Wu, and directly asked for an interview.

Shopkeeper Wu was hired by Lu Jiu and didn't know Qin Xi very well. He always thought that the Lu family asked her to help manage this place in order to support this adopted daughter.

But now, he suddenly realized that maybe he was wrong. This is a decisive woman, not the kind of weak woman who depends on men for survival.

So shopkeeper Wu stopped being complacent and stood up to call Lu Xiangyin, who was waiting anxiously downstairs.

Lu Xiangyin was brought up, and she straightened her clothes at the door before being ushered in by Lanhua.

Qin Xiang, who was originally sitting, stood up and greeted Lu Xiangyin politely.

This was the first time Lu Xiangyin saw Qin Xiang head-on. As he got closer, he could still smell the faint fragrance of Qin Xiang's body.

It can be said that Qin Xiang's appearance is very beautiful, but what impressed Lu Xiangyin most deeply was her eyes.

They were a pair of eyes that could see through people's hearts without showing much emotion. They were beautiful and deep, and they penetrated directly into Lu Xiangyin's fragile heart.

He was a little at a loss, and at Qin Xiang's signal, he sat opposite Qin Xiang, with a coffee table in the middle.

Lian'er knelt down and poured tea, then went to the incense-making stand next to her with Lanhua and started making incense.

Lu Xiangyin looked at Lian'er and Lanhua, and found it quite interesting. The tall woman was a little silly, but the short girl was very smart, and her eyes were moving, making her look very smart and cute. "I heard that Dong Lu's family is going to transfer the shop to me. Is there any reason for this?"

Qin Xiang's words turned Lu Xiangyin's attention from the two girls back to Qin Xiang.

Suddenly meeting Qin Xiang's smiling face, especially the pair of eyebrows staring at him, Lu Xiangyin, a man with a wife and concubines, turned red.

He rubbed his hands and explained his dilemma, which seemed particularly sincere.

Lu Xiangyin also had a concubine's younger uncle, who was also an uneducated person.

Before Lu Xiangyin's father passed away, he was also out having fun with his eldest brother.

However, he didn't have many assets. Lu Xiangyin's grandfather loved his younger son and always gave him more private money to support his expenses outside.

Later, Lu Xiangyin's grandfather passed away. He lost his source of funds and began to cheat and steal. All valuable things in the family were always missing.

Lu Xiangyin's mother was not only wary of her husband, but also of her brother-in-law.

So, when she made up her mind to kill the man, she first divided her brother-in-law into a family.

Lu Xiangyin's mother is a very cruel character and also somewhat scheming. She planned that when her brother-in-law stole her jewelry, he was caught on the spot by a visiting guest. Therefore, she threatened to send him to a prison cell to make him give up the family property and take his wife and children out to live alone.

Lu Xiangyin's mother still gave them a small courtyard to stay in.

Logically speaking, this matter should be over, but after Lu Xiangyin's parents passed away, as the only elder, Lu Xiangyin's brother-in-law started making trouble again.

The aunt took her children to Lu Xiangyin's home every day, eating and drinking around and scolding others. She said that Lu Xiangyin's uncle was being plotted, and she scolded Lu Xiangyin for not wanting to die a good death and that he had to apologize for his parents. OK.

In short, there is no peaceful life at home, and Uncle Lu drank and harassed the store a few days ago. Now everyone in the street knows that Lu Dong’s mother killed his father.

"My business used to be able to make ends meet by relying on regular customers, but since my brother-in-law came to make trouble a few days ago, there have been no more customers."

Qin Xiang and Lu Xiangyin both knew that there was actually a reason why "Qixiang" opened the door.

However, before "Qixiang" opened, the street itself was deserted. Even if there were regular customers, the business would not be that good.

"You mean, just sell me the shop? Why do you want to sell it to us?" Qin Xiang asked calmly, not showing the slightest emotion to Lu Xiangyin's emotional talk about her family affairs.

"This is what I think. First, 'Qixiang' has a plaque given by the Queen Mother. My brother-in-law won't dare to trouble you no matter how much he messes around."

Qin Xiang nodded, feeling that this made some sense.

"Secondly, of course, I also want to find something to do so that I can support my family!" Lu Xiangyin smiled a little sheepishly. This was the first time he went out to find a job to make a living. After all, he was afraid of being rejected, which made him unable to give up. Come on face.

"You sold the shop and the yard behind it, so you're probably not short of money. Why do you have to work in our newly opened shop?"

Lu Xiangyin sat up straighter, and his expression became serious: "I followed my grandfather to make incense when I was a child, but I didn't learn much, but I also know spices and how to sell them? How to deal with customers, I like it very much. Besides, , even if we have money from selling the shop, we can’t let our family just sit back and have nothing!”

Qin Xiang did not comment, lowered her head and muttered. She was not afraid of the Lu family's troubles. Of course, even if she wanted to take over the Lu family's shop, she would have to send someone to inquire carefully.

So, she said to Lu Xiangyin: "'Qixiang' has another owner. I want to ask him what he means. If possible, I can sell it before the end of the year."
