Marrying into a poor family

"I heard that the maid was also from another family. I don't know why she was spotted by Mr. Xie, so she had her killed in that wing. She was also blocked by the master. But the Xie family is very powerful, and others also I can only suffer the loss of being dumb."

"I also heard a more powerful topic. I heard that the maid was the maid of their Xie family earlier. She was pregnant with the second master of the Xie family. Later, she was kicked out for some unknown reason. This shows that the Xie family is really unhappy. typical."

"Perhaps the second wife of the Xie family is a tigress, and she can't tolerate talents and kicked her out!"

The more the two talked about it, the more outrageous it became, and they both made up the story of the second wife of the Xie family. Lao He couldn't help coughing twice. The two of them seemed to have noticed Lao He at this time, so they changed the topic.

After Lao He left, the two of them sneered coldly, stood up, dusted themselves off, exchanged proud looks, and left one after the other.

Lao He went in to look for someone, and actually found Mr. Xie Er in the backyard of the theater. He was putting makeup on Huang Jiaoer, looking like a sweet and affectionate man who is in love with his concubine!

"Sir, my wife is looking for you to go home." Lao He didn't have any good impression of Huang Jiaoer, so he only saluted Master Xie.

Mr. Xie put down his eyebrow pencil and took a powder puff to apply on Huang Jiaoer's face carefully, but reluctantly said: "I know, you go back first!"

Lao He didn't get a positive reply. It would be difficult to do business when he went home, so he asked again when he would go back.

Mr. Xie Er was disturbed from the fun of drawing eyebrows and applying powder. He threw the powder puff back into the powder box in displeasure, turned around and kicked Lao He. Although it was not very hard, it still hurt Lao He's face. After all, he is already fifty, and usually has some respectability in the Xie family.

But he did not dare to say anything and could only kneel down and kowtow respectfully.

Mr. Xie Er, who wanted to vent his anger again, was pulled by Huang Jiaoer's arm, and said softly: "Why do you need to embarrass him like this? It seems that I am a little anxious."

With the beauty holding his arms and her body close to him, Mr. Xie's anger disappeared immediately. He hurriedly coaxed Huang Jiaoer, then looked at Lao He and said angrily: "I'll go back tonight, is that okay?"

When Lao He came out, he heard Huang Jiaoer in the room saying coquettishly: "Master, you better go back, don't let my wife hate me."

"She won't bear grudges against you. If you are so good, anyone who sees you will fall in love with you." Mr. Xie said dissatisfiedly: "Well, besides, there are only two yellow-faced women in the family. Why should I go back? If you go back with me, Then I won’t go out every day and will be at home watching over you every day!”

"I don't believe men's lies. Once I have a new sister to serve me, I will forget about me sooner or later."

Mr. Xie Er swore and swore to express his love, and then there was an ambiguous sound.

Lao He shook his head, sighed and turned around and went out. He went home and told the story, and under the coercion and inducement of Mrs. Xie, she told everything she heard. Mrs. Xie was so angry that she almost fainted.

After thinking about it, I went to check the private room again, and sure enough I found that five hundred taels of silver notes were missing. I was so angry that I fined the person in charge of the key again.

The second wife of the Xie family started to check the accounts and count Mrs. Xie’s jewelry and dowry, causing a lot of jokes!

Li Siniang went to the kitchen to get the meal, chatted for a while with the cooks who had gone out of their way to build a good relationship, and listened to all the jokes about the second room!

Li Siniang was generous, well-spoken, and could always speak to people's hearts. When everyone had some financial inconveniences, she could always borrow money from Li Siniang. Therefore, Li Siniang was already very popular in the circle of servants of the Xie family. Popularity.

Li Siniang went back with the food and told Qin Yan as a joke. Qin Yan smiled in cooperation.

Also following Li Siniang was Xiaolong. The two of them waited for Qin Yan to finish eating before going to another room to eat. Li Siniang asked Xiaolong to take advantage of the opportunity to buy needlework in the afternoon and go back to Xiao's house to tell his wife about the Xie family's situation. Talk about it.

After listening to Xiaolong's words, Qin Xiang nodded with satisfaction: "You should be careful and try to keep a low profile in the Xie family. No one will cause trouble for you during this period."

"Yeah, I know!" Xiaolong nodded with a smile, her eyes filled with bright light. She has been following Li Siniang since she entered the house. She is well protected and still maintains her innocence at her age.

Qin Xian also liked this smiling little girl, so she said gently: "What's the difference between you and Siniang? Just go to Qinggu."

The smile in Xiaolong's eyes deepened, and she read a lot of food to Qinggu, which were all snacks. This gluttony looks very much like Orchid and Lian'er. Because she couldn't go back to Qijiang County for the time being, she had no choice but to let Lian'er and Lanhua go back early. Speaking of which, Qin Xi still missed them a little.

Xiaolong left, and Qinggu came back and said, "I just met Xiaocai outside the yard. It seemed that he was a little anxious to see his wife."

"What's the use of her seeing me? Huh, why are you so anxious? Tell her to wait!"

Qin Xiang has no good impression of Xiaocai at all. She knows better than anyone else that Xiaocai is demanding people now, so she has no choice but to be humble. Once she has other backers, it is a trivial matter to be arrogant in front of you. She still Will not hesitate to step on people to climb up.

Qing Gu always felt that his wife had an inexplicable hatred for Xiao Cai.

Three days later, the second wife of the Xie family sent someone to ask Qin Xiang for help. After negotiation, Xiaocai was carried into the Xie family's house on a sedan chair that day.

Also coming in on the same day was Huang Jiaoer, a newly famous actress in the capital.

Mrs. Xie Er placed the two concubines in a courtyard, with one in each of the left and right rooms. The room in the middle was occupied by the aunt of the second concubine of the Xie family. This was given to Mr. Xie by his deceased mother. His maidservant was also his first woman. Although she is now old and beautiful, she has given birth to two daughters and a son. Her status in the Xie family is not low. Even Mrs. Xie has to show courtesy.

That night, Master Xie spent the night in Huang Jiaoer's room. Red candles were lit in the room, and the light in the room could be seen through the window screen.

There were also red candles in the small colorful room opposite, but unfortunately, she cried all night.

The next day, Xiao Cai went to see Mrs. Xie Er. Mrs. Xie already knew that Xiao Cai was pregnant, and wanted her to check Huang Jiaoer, so she was a little affectionate towards her, but was not too polite and cold to Huang Jiaoer. More than enough.

Although they entered the house on the same day, Mrs. Xie drank Xiao Cai’s tea first and called her third aunt. As Huang Jiaoer became fourth aunt, she would be overpowered by Xiao Cai and had to call her Xiao Cai. elder sister.

Huang Jiaoer was deeply favored by the second master, while Xiaocai and the eldest aunt were both dependent on the second wife, so there were two camps in the family.

The Xie family's farce began from then on.

Xiao Cai went to kowtow to Xie Yan, but Xie Yan did not let her enter the courtyard.

Xiao Cai didn't know who got the advice, so she kowtowed outside the yard, then turned back and walked toward her own yard step by step. When she saw someone, she wiped her tears and forced a smile, making people think that she was bullied by Qin Yan.

"Hmph, she wants to look weak and pitiful, why does she want to take advantage of us?" Xiaolong came back from outside and said everything she heard, and expressed her dissatisfaction and doubts angrily?

Xiaolong doesn't have much foresight, but she's not stupid, and she understands that she was plotted by Xiaocai.

Since Xiaolong and Li Siniang came, there have been more laughters and laughter in this courtyard, and Qin Yan finally feels that life is not so sad.
