Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 30 Fragrance beads thank you
"What's wrong? Is it something that didn't go well with me when I started my genealogy or something with Liu Xi?" Qin Xi poured a cup of tea for Xiao Chenyu.

"What can be wrong with the family tree? I haven't been exterminated." Xiao Chenyu was afraid that Qin Xiang would be worried about the family tree, so he hurriedly reassured her.

In fact, it didn't go so smoothly. The clan leader, the second uncle, was not happy about Xiao Chenyu's marriage. He didn't even invite anyone from the clan, but only an outsider, Liu Xi.

However, Xiao Chenyu said that he would go to the county school to study in a few days, and the second uncle immediately remained silent.

The Xiao family has not produced a scholar for many years. Among this generation, the only ones with hope are Xiao Chenyu and Xiao Hanyang.If Xiao Hanyang's father hadn't used the ancestral precept that the family property should be inherited by the eldest son, and Xiao Hanyang's father was doing business abroad at the time and already had all the family's property in his hands, the elders in the family would not have turned a blind eye. It passed in a blink of an eye.

Although Xiao Chenyu received 50 taels of silver at that time, which was enviable in Xiaojia Village, Xiao Chenyu had not interacted with the villagers for so many years, and he was obviously angry.

Now, in order to create a family tree for Qin Xiang, Xiao Chenyu took the initiative to find the clan leader and asked him to take the scientific examination. This was a show of goodwill to the clan leader and the Xiao family members.

Therefore, there is no objection to Qin Xiang’s genealogy.

"That's about Liu Xi. Have you met him?" Qin Xi asked again.

Xiao Chenyu wiped his face and nodded: "I see, he didn't suffer much. Anyway, the food and drink were delivered on time. Although he was beaten on the first day, it was just a superficial injury. It should be the Yanzi family's fear. In the end, I was very careful about propriety.”

"Yanzi's two sisters-in-law have come and asked me to persuade you to become a lobbyist and get Liu Xi to agree to the marriage."

"They came to find you?" Xiao Chenyu frowned, and it was obvious that he was very angry.

"Don't be angry, they were very polite to me. They just said something bad about Liu Xi, but Yanzi is a good girl." Thinking of what they said, Qin Xiang said with a smile: "They said that Yanzi is the same as me. Having been slandered by others, I feel that I should be considerate and help Yanzi."

Xiao Chenyu was so angry that he said: "This is unreasonable. Comparing such a woman to you is simply ridiculous."

Qin Xiang didn't expect that in Xiao Chenyu's heart, she was still a very good woman. Some warmth flowed in her heart, and she spoke with a smile: "Liu Xi's matter won't be handled for a while, but you have to go to the county school." There’s no need to delay, why don’t you leave this matter to me?”

Xiao Chenyu was stunned for a while, looking at Qin Xiang with a somewhat moved gaze. He stretched out his hand and held Qin Xiang's hands in his palms. He gently rubbed Qin Xiang's fingertips with his thumb. The skin there was a little rough.

"The advantage of marrying a wife is that from now on, I am no longer alone." When there is trouble, someone will help, someone will share the burden, and someone will think about him.

Qin Xiang lowered his head and looked at his clasped hands, but remained silent.

Xiao Chenyu smiled and asked: "What are you going to do? Yanzi's reputation has been ruined. Their family is anxious to marry her off. Liu Xi is the best candidate and their family will not give up easily."

Why is Liu Xi the best candidate?The answer is obvious.

He grew up in Xiaojia Village, but he was never loved by the Xiao family. Except for Xiao Chenyu, he had no friends. Even the younger siblings born to his sixth aunt were not close to him.

Liu Xi has no background or money, but he has a weak spot, his mother Sixth Aunt.

Aunt Six got married for the second time, and brought with her an unpleasant bastard. She never raised her head in front of Uncle Six in her whole life.She always wanted Liu Xi to bend down to the Xiao family and compromise with the Xiao family, so she felt that marrying Yanzi was a good choice, even though she knew that Yanzi was flirtatious and hot-tempered.

The reason why Liu Xi didn't leave Xiaojiacun and go out for a living was because of Aunt Six.

Uncle Six loves to drink, and after drinking he likes to beat people, especially Aunt Six. Liu Xi is afraid that if he leaves, Aunt Six will be beaten to death one day.

After listening to what Xiao Chenyu said about Liu Xi, Qin Xiang thought of his mother Su.He sighed and said, "I'll help him, don't worry."

Seeing that Xiao Chenyu wanted to know his method, Qin Xiang became playful and said, "This matter will be kept secret for the time being."

After that, he said seriously: "You go to the ancestral hall again and tell Liu Xi that you agree to marry Yanzi first. After he comes out and returns home, you can delay the engagement for a few days on the grounds of recuperation. Of course, you really can't delay it." It doesn't matter, if you need to get engaged, just get engaged, if you need to hire a matchmaker, hire a matchmaker."

Xiao Chenyu raised his eyebrows and asked meaningfully: "Do you have a way to let them cancel the engagement even if they are engaged?"

Qin Xi smiled proudly: "Of course, it can also prevent Liu Xi from being criticized by anyone."

"Okay, I'll go tell Liu Xi, and then I'll wait to see how my wife uses her exquisite methods."

It was almost dark when Xiao Chenyu came back.

After he told Liu Xi, Liu Xi agreed without hesitation. He had inexplicable admiration and trust for Xiao Chenyu.

Liu Xi agreed to the engagement and was let back at that time. Xiao Chenyu accompanied him back home and sat with him for a while before returning.

As the sky grew dark, the couple cooked and ate by light, and then went to bed early.

The next day, Xiao Chenyu and Qin Xi went to the village wearing new clothes.

Qin Xiang attracted many people to watch and point at her. Qin Xiang pretended not to know and let people look at her gracefully. On the contrary, Xiao Chenyu felt very uncomfortable and kept a cold face and said nothing.

Aunt Six squeezed into the crowd and said to the people around her: "This new daughter-in-law is amazing. Let Xiao Er cook for her. Her hands are not strong enough for the job. If she wants to serve soup, Xiao Er says she can't." Woolen cloth."

An old woman next to me was very surprised: "Why do you marry me if you don't work? Just to look good?"

"It's not good-looking. Look at that face, that skin, that figure. Tsk tsk tsk. I've also seen girls from rich families in town, and they don't have such a mark." Another young woman in her twenties was envious. He said sourly again.

Yanzi stood under the eaves, listening to the mutterings of Aunt Six and the others, and gritted his teeth and resented Qin Xiang as he walked over.

The same reputation was tarnished, but she was able to marry Xiao Chenyu and was favored by Xiao Chenyu. As for herself, she had to work hard to marry a coward like Liu Xi.Why can Qin Xiang go smoothly? Looking at her clothes and hairpin accessories, everything about her is not enviable.

After paying homage to the ancestors, the patriarch's second uncle personally took out the family tree and added Qin Xiang's name next to Xiao Chenyu. From then on, Qin Xiang became the Xiao family's wife.

After finishing the genealogy, Xiao Chenyu and Qin Xiang packed up their things and returned to their home in Xuanmiaoguan without too much delay.

After returning, Qin Xi helped Xiao Chenyu prepare clothes for going to the county school, etc., and also prepared several boxes of incense, saying they were gifts for her husband.

Xiao Chenyu was very happy when someone helped him pack his luggage, but it didn't last long when a Taoist boy came to ask him to come over.

Although this house was nominally won by Xiao Chenyu playing chess, it was actually given to them by the viewer for their wedding.In any case, Qin Xiang didn't want to owe any favors.

She asked Xiao Chenyu to wait, then took out a wooden box from the dowry and handed it to Xiao Chenyu: "This is a string of fragrant beads made by my husband himself. The materials are very particular. It took a lot of effort from him. You can give it to the viewer as a thank you." It was his gift of a house.”
