Marrying into a poor family

Qin Xiang finished writing the letter and asked Qinggu to go to Mother Liu, the mother in charge of the yard, to ask for the envelope and seal it before giving it to Qinggu.

Qing Gu left, and Qin Xiang had lunch alone.

Mother Liu came over to accompany her and said, "The old lady is vegetarian, but my aunt is not allowed to be vegetarian. The old lady said that my aunt is still young and needs to eat more to stay healthy; aunt, you are still too thin."

Qin Xi smiled and continued to eat.

Qin Xiang moved into the old lady's yard. This matter seemed to have grown wings and quickly flew into the ears of every Qin family member.

The eldest lady went back to find the eldest man. She frowned and discussed with him: "What do you mean by the old lady?"

The old man also stroked his beard and thought deeply: "The old lady has ignored secular affairs for a long time. The last time she came out, it was about the fourth house. What is the intention of suddenly bringing Qin Xiang to live next to her?"

The eldest lady was anxious and didn't care much. She stretched out her hand and grabbed the eldest man's wrist hard. Her long nails pinched the eldest man painfully, so she hurriedly broke away from the eldest lady's hand.

"You have something to say, what are you doing? No wonder the old lady said you are getting more and more irritable."

Ever since the old lady started praying behind closed doors and the eldest lady took charge of the house, the old lady didn't let the eldest lady go to say hello. She said she didn't want the eldest lady to run around and work hard. In fact, she disliked the eldest lady for being frivolous and often couldn't hide it. Looks proud.

The eldest lady sat back down, but she still turned around and said urgently: "Tell me, do you want to give the things in the old lady's hands to Qin Xiang?"

The old man stopped stroking his beard and thought for a while before hesitatingly said: "Probably not. After all, no matter what, the old lady should give us a long-term wife. What's more, Qin Xiang is not even a concubine in the fourth room. Come on, what's going on with her?"

The eldest lady curled her lips, glanced at the eldest man, and said in a weird voice: "You have been in charge of the family for many years, and you have devoted yourself to this family. Why can't our Qin family get up? Isn't it because of the things in the old lady's hands? I won’t give it to you even if I crush it to death?”

The elder's eyes dimmed, he sighed heavily, and then said: "It's not because I'm useless, my mother is afraid that I will ruin the family business!"

If it was really useful, the Qin family would be prosperous without relying on the idea in mother's hand. How could the fourth family end up like this, and the Qin family become a joke in the eyes of the people in Dancheng.

The eldest man had fought with his mother in the shopping mall. If anyone wanted to say who cared about her the most, it was him. Of course, he is the one who is most afraid of his mother.

Therefore, he knew that his mother still had real ancient books on fragrant recipes, but he did not dare to ask his mother for it!

However, now that Qin Xiang has moved into the old lady's yard, things have become more variable, and the elder's heart is not as calm and indifferent as he showed.

The eldest wife continued: "Everything in our Qin family should belong to our Yaozong. How could we never expect that a wild girl would come out?"

Mr. Qin sighed: "Don't worry, mother didn't say that. And..."

He turned to look at the eldest wife, and said seriously: "If mother wants to give it to Qin Xiang, she must have her reasons, and she must have thought it over carefully."

In addition to respecting the old lady, the eldest lady also has fear and envy.

She looked at her man, and sometimes she couldn't help but think: Even though she gave birth to children for him, took care of the housework, was filial to her mother, and took care of her younger siblings, she had never been so valued by him.

What should I do to gain such trust and respect from my husband?
Qin Xiang didn't know that the Qin family was already in a quarrel. She was copying scriptures, mixing incense, and making incense.

In the early stage, Qin Xiang had a utilitarian mentality and some coping and irritability, so no matter how hard she tried, the scriptures she copied and the incense she mixed could not pass the old lady's test.

Qin Xiang became more and more irritable, and the old lady's eyes became colder and even looked disappointed.

Such a look made Qin Xiang a little uneasy, and she also changed her conflicting thoughts.

A month later, Qin Xiang finally calmed down from her irritable and depressed state and threw away all her unnecessary thoughts. Sure enough, the old lady's face finally looked better.

Three months later, Qin Xiang finally got the old lady's approval and put the newly made fragrant beads on her wrist.

Then he looked at Qin Xiang. From spring to summer, Qin Xiang finally settled down, and her face became slightly different.

In the past, Qin Xiang was a bit sharp and cold and arrogant. Even if she was not angry, she still gave people the feeling of being thousands of miles away.

If they don't approach her deliberately, it will be difficult for others to get along with her.

But Qin Xiang, who was now sitting in front of the old lady making tea, had gentle eyebrows and calm eyes.

Qin Xi respectfully placed the tea in front of the old lady and looked at the old lady calmly.

"You are finally willing to drink tea now!"

The old lady smiled and put down the tea cup.

He took out a pitifully thin booklet from the drawer and handed it over.

The cover was made of leather. Qin Xi couldn't see any leather, but she could tell that it was old.

There was nothing on the cover. After opening it, there were only five pages of yellowed paper inside, and the five pages were not fully written.

But Qin Xiang's heart was pounding.

This is an ancient book on fragrant prescriptions collected by the Qin family.

"The best incense sold by the Qin family today all evolved from here." The old lady said slowly as she turned the prayer beads Qin Xiang gave her.

Because it is an ancient book from many years ago, the words in it are difficult to understand and there are no annotations. It requires careful consideration and spices to try in many ways.

Qin Xiang read it carefully and knew that this was not something that could be understood in a moment, so she tried hard to imprint the words in the ancient book in her mind.

After remembering it for a while, Qin Xi put the ancient book on the low table and asked calmly: "Old lady, what do you mean by this? If I guessed correctly, this wouldn't be for me, right?"

A smile flashed in the old lady's eyes. This girl may appear calm on the surface, but in fact, she is still a bit naughty. Don't think she can't tell. This girl memorized the ancient book.

"It's okay to give it to you, but you have to agree to a few conditions." The old lady has done so much just for this moment!

Qin Xiang understood, nodded, and said: "Old lady, please tell me, if I can do it, it is my duty to do it, and I will treat it as a thank you for the old lady's careful teachings during these days. However, if it is too much, it will be difficult for me to obey." .”

Old Mrs. Qin smiled, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened: "What I want you to agree to is not difficult, it just depends on whether you are willing."

"Old lady, please speak!" Qin Xiang stopped being polite and said bluntly.

"First, you can become an upright aunt of the Qin family. In the future, you, the Xiao family, and the Qin family will advance and retreat together, and share honor and disgrace! I want you to swear to never take advantage of the Xiao family or frame the Xiao family."

This first step made Qin Xiang retreat.

She didn't know if she could really keep her oath at the critical moment? It is possible to consider not framing her, but it is a bit difficult for Qin Xiang to never take advantage of the Xiao family.
