Marrying into a poor family

Qin Yan only heard that her sister was here, and thought it was Qin Yao, but as soon as the visitor came in, she knew that this person was not Qin Yao.

Li Siniang, who had sent gifts that day, suddenly flashed in his mind, saying that she came on Qin Xiang's orders.

Could it be that this person is Qin Xiang?

Then, Qin Yan saw Li Siniang standing behind Qin Xian, and was immediately sure that this person was the Qin Xian whose name he only heard but not his person.

Qin Yan stood up and looked at Qin Xiang doubtfully. Seeing her looking at her room, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and a little embarrassed. She was looking at Qin Xiang's clothes and the large group of people waiting on her behind her. Suddenly, Qin Yan was concerned about her own life. More profound sadness.

Mrs. Qian was a little afraid of this Qin Xiang. She looked like a powerful character, even though she had never said a word.

"I'm probably one or two years older than you, so I can be considered your sister." Qin Xiang opened her mouth and revealed her identity to Qin Yan.

Qin Yan hurriedly bowed her knees and saluted. When she stood up, she was still a little confused. She didn't understand what Qin Xiang was doing?

Could it be that she wanted to ask the Xie family to seek help from her first? Then she made a wrong calculation, and all the expensive gifts she sent before were in vain.

"Sister Xi, sit down. I like to be quiet. There are few people waiting in the yard, so the room seems deserted."

Qin Xiang sat on the edge of the Kang, and Qin Yan also sat down and explained a few words, which seemed to be a bit cover-up.

"It doesn't matter, I also like peace and quiet, we are the same in this regard." Qin Xiang said a few words casually, and then said to Li Siniang and others: "Sister Yan and I will have a private talk between sisters, you go and take a rest first. Bar!"

Li Siniang and others curtsied and said, "Yes!" Then they turned and walked towards the wing next door.

But Mrs. Qian didn't move. She belonged to the eldest lady, and she originally wanted to listen to the conversation between the two so that she could go back and report to the eldest lady. Maybe she could get some reward for hearing important words.

Xiaocai didn't move either. She was busy pouring tea for Qin Xiang and Qin Yan, and then stood still on one side.

Qin Xiang looked at Mrs. Qian with meaning, then at Xiaocai, and finally smiled and said to Qin Yan: "Sister, can I talk to you alone?"

Qin Yan's face turned red, she was quite embarrassed, and said to Xiao Cai: "You also go to the cubicle to accompany the girls, and I will talk to Sister Xi."

Xiaocai pouted and glanced at Qin Xiang, and happened to meet Qin Xiang's calm eyes. She shrank involuntarily and immediately avoided looking at Qin Xiang.

"Old lady, this in-laws' concubine is here as a guest, and all the servants have been sent away. The old lady and concubine have no one to serve them when they want tea. What should we do?" Mrs. Qian said from the side, as if she would not leave. .

Xiao Cai felt that Mrs. Qian's words made sense and nodded in agreement. In fact, she also wanted to listen to the conversation between the two so that she could ask Mrs. Qin Si for the silver reward.

Seeing that she couldn't control these two people, Qin Yan's face turned even redder. Just when she was about to speak, she heard Qin Xiang speak coldly.

"The Xie family is a big family. I am from a small family, so I have gained a lot of experience."

As soon as she spoke out, she would use the Xie family's family background as an excuse. This was a very fatal matter.

Mrs. Qian wanted to defend her for one or two more words, but when Qin Xiang spoke, there was almost no room for anyone to interrupt: "Who is she?"

At this time, she pointed at Qin Yan and asked about Granny Qian.

Mrs. Qian said: "Our old lady."

"Who are you?" Qin Xi asked again. "The old slave is the steward of the eldest wife's courtyard." Mrs. Qian suddenly straightened her body and said proudly.

"Oh, it turns out that a small steward of the Xie family can be disrespectful to the old lady of the Xie family. It seems that this is the rule of the Xie family."

"This, concubine, that's not what you said. The old slave is kind-hearted and serves the concubine for the old lady. The concubine is here as a guest, but she said such slanderous words about the master's family. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to spread it, right?"

The corners of Qin Xiang's lips curled up, and she glanced sideways at Granny Qian, saying, "So, it seems that I am ignorant!"

Mrs. Qian couldn't answer the question, so she just pursed her lips and didn't say it wasn't true. It seemed like she acquiesced.

Seeing this, Qin Xiang stopped entangled with her and ignored Xiao Cai who was worried at the side. Instead, she looked at Qin Yan and said, "By the way, I sent someone to deliver some food, good tea, cloth and ointment that day. I gave you rouge, why didn’t you use it?”

Qin Yan's eyes followed Qin Xiang to the tea and a few melon seeds on the kang table, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

Qin Xiang's gifts for everyone in the Xie family were all ordered, including those for Qin Yan.

In addition to some snacks and a can of good tea, she gave Qin Yan ten pounds of charcoal, several boxes of ointment and powder, and several bolts of brocade cloth.

Apart from anything else, the charcoal burned black and there was still some smoke, so it was so little that the room was not warm at all.

The tea was also made from tea foam and tea stems. There was no heat at all, and Qin Xiang didn't even think about picking it up.

There is also a small plate of melon seeds, which looks not very good. With this, how can you say you are treating guests well?

Qin Xiang looked at Mrs. Qian with disdain. Mrs. Qian also saw how shabby she was, and her old face became a little embarrassed.

She explained nonchalantly: "Usually, the eldest lady also cares about the old lady. It's just that the old lady likes to be quiet and doesn't let others disturb her. If there is something missing, the old lady won't say it, and we eldest ladies will also worry about it. It’s not that much, after all, the family is big and the business is big, so there are a lot of things to manage.”

A sneer came from Qin Xiang's nostrils and she ignored Mrs. Qian at all.

He asked again: "You have been burning charcoal in the house for a long time, and you are prone to dizziness. The fragrant charcoal I sent you was made at home. I used burned charcoal, smashed it into powder, sieved it finely, and took it." The finest charcoal powder is mixed with several kinds of spice powder. When lit, it is not only smoke-free, but also has a refreshing fragrance, and can refresh the mind and refresh the mind. It is a good product for heating in winter. The fragrant charcoal is made by ourselves. If you like it, I’ll send someone to bring it to you again, don’t waste it, just use it!”

Hearing this, Qin Yan was confused, Xiaocai's eyes lit up, and then she looked at Mrs. Qian with disdain. Mrs. Qian opened her mouth and looked at Qin Yan nervously.

She was afraid that Qin Yan would tell her that the charcoal would not even reach Qin Yan's eyes.

"This, such precious charcoal, wouldn't it be a pity for me to use it, they?"

Qin Yan's explanations were so confusing that she didn't even know what she was talking about?

She had seen several pieces of fine brocade and several boxes of rouge balm, but she was taken away by Mother Jiao without looking at them carefully.

I have never heard of any other charcoal, food, tea, etc.!

The eldest wife of the Xie family only chose a few valuable things for Qin Yan to pass her eyes. The rest of the small things had never been sent to Qin Yan.

But now, being pointed out by my concubine, this embarrassment has almost become real.

Mrs. Qian was afraid that Qin Xiang would ask more questions, so she excused herself to go to the toilet because she had abdominal pain and ran away in a hurry.

Qin Xiang then looked at Xiaocai: "The ointment and rouge on your face, are they my 'Qixiang' stuff?"
