Marrying into a poor family

Qin Xiang called Li Siniang, who immediately walked in with Qinggu and Qingcan.

Li Siniang came over with a fox fur cloak in her hand and put it on Qin Xiang. Qinggu took the heater from Qin Xiang's hand, tested the temperature, and said, "Madam, this stove is not warm anymore. Could you please change it to a piece of charcoal?"

Qin Xiang nodded, and Qinggu turned around and went out. The little maid beside him followed him and immediately took out a small piece of white charcoal from his purse.

Qinggu poured out the burned charcoal, and another little maid hurriedly packed it in a silk bag.

When the new heater was handed over to Qin Xiang, Qin Xiang had already put on the hood and was saying goodbye to Qin Yan.

However, Qin Xiang wanted to leave, but some people were unwilling.

Mother Jiao came in person: "Oh, what does this mean? My aunt is leaving? It's already noon, why should I have lunch before leaving, otherwise, if I tell you, we will think that our Xie family is treating our in-laws poorly."

Qin Xiang waved his hand and asked the people waiting around him to get out of the way. Then he looked at Mother Jiao and smiled very politely: "Who is this?"

Qin Yan didn't move. Li Siniang was about to speak, but Xiaocai beat her to it: "Auntie, this is our Xie family's back house steward, Mrs. Jiao's most trusted mother."

Qin Xiang had numerous interactions with Mama Jiao in her previous life, so it could be said that she was very familiar with this person.

Qin Xiang was a little surprised by Xiao Cai's initiative. She looked at Xiao Cai specifically and saw the flattering smile on her face. Qin Xiang's heart moved and she nodded to her. Xiaocai's flattery received a response from Qin Xiang, and she smiled happily.

Xiaocai would be like this, of course, not without reason. Just because she had inquired just now, Li Siniang and others were not tired at Qin Xian's house, but they were treated very well.

Therefore, she couldn't help but start to fawn over Qin Xi. This habit of leaving more escape routes for herself was subconscious, but she didn't think too much about it.

Mother Jiao took a step forward: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, it seems that Dancheng's feng shui nourishes people. All the Qin family are beauties!"

Qin Xi smiled and responded politely: "Mama Jiao, you're welcome!"

"Our eldest wife asked me to come over and invite my concubine to stay for lunch. I wonder if my concubine can give me a favor?"

Qin Xiang looked at her fully dressed body and smiled helplessly: "I also dreamed about sister Qin Yan last night. I felt a little uneasy when I got up in the morning. After thinking about it, I had to come and see her in person to feel at ease. "

After saying that, he looked back at Qin Yan who was quiet, and Qin Yan also gave a gentle smile in return.

Qin Xiang turned back to Mother Jiao and said, "Today's visit is already abrupt, so I won't save lunch. Next time, I will hand over the greeting card first, and then I will visit the ladies in person."

Mother Jiao didn't really want to keep her, but she kicked her out after the old lady came back to report that Qin Xiang and Qin Yan were talking to each other behind closed doors.

The eldest wife was afraid that things were out of control, so she sent Mother Jiao to find out more.

Now, seeing Qin Xiang being polite and Qin Yan looking as quiet and cowardly as ever, Mother Jiao felt relieved.

Thinking about it, Qin Xiang was just the wife of Juren, not a great person, and she would not be afraid of the Xie family.

However, if Qin Xiang had not been to Qifeng Villa and the plaque of "Qixiang" Incense Shop given by the Queen Mother, I am afraid that she would not have even taken a fancy to this idea, and it was still unknown whether she could enter the Xie family's gate. Mother Jiao sent Qin Xiang out of the gate, watched her get on the carriage and leave, and then turned back to follow the eldest lady.

The eldest lady was looking at the housekeeper's account book in the warm spring-like room, her brows furrowed.

"Madam, the concubine of the Qin family is gone." Mother Jiao walked in. When she saw the eldest lady frowning and looking at her account book, she knew the reason, sent the servants away, and walked to stand beside the eldest lady.

"How is that person?" The eldest lady put down the account book in her hand, closed her eyes and rubbed her temples to relieve her headache.

Mother Jiao immediately stood behind her and helped massage the eldest lady's temples: "She is very beautiful and very smart. She didn't reveal a single word. She also said that she had a dream yesterday and dreamed about that place. The man in the yard came to see her today."

"I always feel that this matter is a bit strange. The Qin family has never moved around before. Suddenly the young lady of the Qin family came. After a few days, this sister also came. What on earth is their family going to do?"

"Is it possible that you have something to ask us to thank you for?" Mother Jiao is used to people coming to her door asking for help from them, so she blurts out the words without thinking carefully.

"Let's see, as time goes by, they will always show their flaws." The eldest lady sighed.

"Do you have other worries, madam?" Mother Jiao asked tentatively.

"This family is getting worse and worse. Look, there is only income, no income at all. Now I have to pay for the dowry. Two or three bedrooms are good. I don't care about everything, but I know how to reach out for food and drink. The old man has not been there for a long time. Bring the money back and hand it over to the palace, but I don’t know if something happened outside?”

"It won't be for that woman anyway!" Jiao's mother pursed her lips and called Qin Yan that woman. It was so disrespectful, but the eldest lady turned a blind eye and didn't listen.

"By the way, madam, before that Qin Xiang left, she gave the hand warmer in her hand to the person in the courtyard in front of me."

"Hand warmer? What else did she say?" The eldest lady opened her closed eyes.

"She said: 'It's cold in your room, and there are still many female celebrities to finish. Just keep this and let Xiaocai burn the incense charcoal I gave you before. A small piece can burn it." Last hour, even though this heater was small, it was made of pure copper and had a balance ball inside. No matter how you walked or fell to the ground, the charcoal inside would not fall out. It was very safe.' This is it. That Qin Xiang’s original words.”

After hearing this, the eldest lady chewed on Qin Xiang's words, and then sneered: "This is to remind us that we withheld the gift she gave to our old lady, and also implied that we treated our old lady harshly. .Hmph, is this Qin Xiang in charge of our Xie family?"

Mother Jiao quickly looked surprised: "Oh, why haven't I heard these meanings? My wife is so smart that I know the meaning of her words as soon as I hear them."

"Stop flattering me. Hurry up and find out the details of this Qin Xiang. I have a hunch that this woman is difficult to deal with. Is she here with some purpose?"

On the carriage, Qin Xiang held another hand warmer and thought quietly.

She was originally unwilling to come forward and confront the Xie family directly, but Li Siniang didn't see Qin Yan, so she had to come in person.

She saved Qin Yan on one hand, but as for the Xie family, which was about to be destroyed anyway, there was no need for her to do anything extra. However, it was good to be able to breathe a sigh of relief while saving Qin Yan.

But the next moment, Qin Xiang suddenly sat up straight. In the last life, the Xie family was destroyed because the money offended someone, and she took away a lot of the Xie family's money. Will this change the Xie family? fate?
