Marrying into a poor family

However, she calculated the value of these things, converted them, added some more, and gave Qin Yan a total of five hundred taels of silver notes.

Qin Yan didn't want it, but Qin Xiang said that this was what she would rely on for the rest of her life. As long as they don't gamble or get cheated, this money is enough for their family to live very well.

"It's enough to buy a house to settle down, someone to buy furniture, and a good wife for your brother Qin Song."

Thinking of her younger brother, Qin Yan accepted it, but she lowered her head and burst into tears. She suffered a lot, but she also received warmth.

"Sister Xian, in the future, as long as you need me to do anything, I will definitely do my best, even if you want my life, I will give it to you!"

Qin Xi smiled and helped her wipe away her tears and said, "I'm so good, what do I want with your life? Can I use it to make soup?"

Seeing Qin Xiang joking, Qin Yan also smiled in agreement, but she knew that this was what she thought and would never change it.

At night, Mrs. Liu and Qin Yaozu came together and gave Qin Yan a pair of heads, one hundred taels of silver notes, and two pieces of cloth.

Qin Yaozu finally gave Qin Yan a few words of advice: "Eldest brother didn't fulfill his responsibilities as an older brother before. I will definitely protect you from now on. You don't have to worry about your mother. I will make her stop embarrassing you."

After a pause, he bowed to Qin Yan again: "On behalf of my mother, I apologize for you!"

Qin Yan is a kind and honest girl, and a person who has a clear sense of right and wrong. She knows that the culprit is her aunt, not her brother. The most he can do is inaction.

But now that he was willing to put down his posture and apologize very sincerely, Qin Yan felt much more at ease.

Many things have already happened, and there is no point in continuing to dwell on the past. The more serious thing is to see if we can live a better life in the future.

Naturally, this money was not given by Mrs. Qin Si, but belonged to the couple's private house.

Since the relationship with Mrs. Qin Si was not so harmonious, Mrs. Qin Si tightly held the money in her hand and no longer subsidized Qin Yaozu and his wife. The couple also had to take care of all the household expenses, large and small, so they Being able to give one hundred taels to Qin Yan shows that he is sincere.

Qin Xiang asked Mrs. Liu in a low voice, and then she realized that the jewelry was Mrs. Liu's dowry. However, she had not used it and it was originally a dowry for her daughter. However, the couple felt guilty for Qin Yan, so they took it out in advance.

Qin Xiang found that although Mrs. Liu had given her something, her face was radiant. The two of them murmured to each other, and Mrs. Liu shyly told Qin Xiang that Qin Yaozu had been very considerate to her recently, and their relationship was better than when they first got married.

Seeing that Mrs. Liu is living well, Qin Xiang is also happy. After all, Mrs. Liu is a sincere person who treats Qin Xiang well.

The next day, the sky was high and the clouds were clear, and the wind was refreshing, making it suitable for travel.

There is no need to bring a dowry when traveling, so it is easy to travel lightly. But there were also two carriages for people, an ox-cart for pulling daily necessities, and the escort on horseback.

Qin Xi and Qin Yan were sitting in the best carriage, Qinggu, two maids and two wives were sitting in the second carriage, and the ox cart contained everyone's daily necessities. There are also ten guards arranged by Uncle Qi, and the leader is Sun Jifei.

After Sun Jifei helped Qin Xi investigate the incident after Xiao Chenyu's disappearance, he gained Qin Xi's trust. After all, she couldn't trouble Uncle Qi with everything. She didn't want to worry her mother, and she wanted Uncle Qi to spend more time with her mother.

Sun Jifei is a taciturn person, but he is very skilled. His eyes are always looking around vigilantly, which makes people feel safe.

This traveling team can be regarded as eye-catching. After all, the guards are equipped with horses. Even if the horses are not very good, they are still horses after all.

When ordinary people travel, most of their entourage and guards walk on their own feet. If they can't keep up with the carriage, they have to run, and most of them are half-dead from exhaustion. Uncle Qi was afraid that when Qin Xiang was in trouble, the guards would be exhausted first, so he spent a lot of money to buy these horses in advance. The guards were also carefully selected. They were all good in terms of fists, feet, body skills and character. .

When the group arrived at the city gate, they encountered an inspection, and the inspection was so careful that Qin Yan was a little frightened and huddled in the corner of the carriage without daring to move.

Qin Xiang was calm and allowed Sun Jifei and Qinggu to deal with it.

However, the time did drag on a bit, after all, they didn’t have much.

Qing Gu got into the carriage and said worriedly that the people guarding the city outside seemed to be deliberately making things difficult. What should Qin Xi do?
Qin Xi thought for a while and said: "It must be the Xie family's intention to make things difficult, but it is impossible for the Xie family to prevent us from leaving the city, so it is just that the Xie family is giving us power."

After a pause, she said: "Money can make the world go round, so you'd better use your money to break open this road out of the city!"

Money is not as important as time to Qin Xiang. She still wants to finish her work early and come back early.

After giving them a sum of money, they were released happily, and the group left the city smoothly.

The boat had been waiting at the dock for a long time. The boat was not big, but it was a chartered boat. It was a lot more comfortable not being with other people.

Qin Yan followed Qin Xi into the best room, and then she was stunned: "Why are you here?"

The woman standing in the room was suddenly Huang Jiaoer.

Qin Yan knew Huang Jiaoer, but she had only met her once or twice. She only knew that Huang Jiaoer was Mr. Xie's new favorite and the aunt who dared to challenge the second wife.

I saw Huang Jiaoer twice, both times in the courtyard. Huang Jiaoer was dressed in brocade and fox fur, with a gold hairpin in her hair. She had light eyebrows and red lips. She was carefully cared for by Mr. Xie, like a flower. As gorgeous as peonies in full bloom.

But the Huang Jiaoer in front of her was a little different.

Huang Jiaoer wore a set of plain clothes, with only a silver hairpin tied into her bun, and there was no trace of makeup on her face. Huang Jiaoer, who has washed away all her glory, no longer has the aura of a famous actor, but she looks quite young, less gorgeous and more gentle.

Huang Jiaoer came up to him, smiling timidly and looking a little pitiful.

Such a delicate beauty, as long as she is not arrogant and domineering, as long as she restrains her aggression, it is easy for people to like her.

Seeing Qin Yan and Huang Jiaoer sitting and talking, Qin Xi thought to herself: This is probably why Huang Jiaoer has become a famous actress. She always has an attractive air about her.

Huang Jiaoer was telling Qin Yan why she was here.

It turned out that after Huang Jiaoer came to the capital, she was attracted by the second master of the Xie family. Although Huang Jiaoer was unwilling to become a concubine in a wealthy family, what could she do?

Actors are in a lowly profession, so how can she have the final say?
"My master was taken back as a concubine by a wealthy family. At that time, my master was also a famous figure held in high regard by many people. After being taken back, within half a year, he was replaced by a new woman. Years later, he died in the back house without knowing it."

Huang Jiaoer's eyes turned red as she spoke, while Qin Yan also sighed.
