Marrying into a poor family

Qin Shao felt deeply embarrassed. She knew Qin Shao's temper very well, but she had no confidence that she could influence her.

But she didn't dare to say not to go, she could only say let's give it a try!

However, when Qin Shao went to the old lady's yard to look for Qin Xiang, she was stopped by the old lady Qin's people. Fortunately, Qinggu happened to be walking past in the yard, and Qin Shao saw it, and he quickly raised his voice and called Qing Gu. antiquity.

Qinggu turned around and saw that it was Qin Shao. Knowing that she had a good relationship with his wife, he came over to ask what was going on.

Qin Shao was a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "I heard that you are back and I have always wanted to come and meet your wife, but you are too busy and I can't disturb you. Now that I have met you, my wish has come true. Just say a few words to me here."

Qinggu thought Qin Shao had something to say to his wife, so he nodded and looked at Qin Shao waiting for her to continue.

"This is the pastry I made for your wife. She used to say that the pastries I made are delicious!" Qin Shao handed the food box in his hand to Qing Gu.

Qinggu took it and thanked him.

Seeing Qing Gu's politeness, Qin Shao suddenly felt relieved, and the aggrievedness of being stopped by the servants just now was lessened.

She added: "Is your wife okay? Tell her that before you leave, you must come to my house for a meal and see me!"

Qing Gu thought for a while and said with a slight hesitation: "How about I go tell my wife and see if she can see you now?"

"Then it's troublesome for Miss Qinggu. It doesn't matter whether we can see her or not. I understand. I'm afraid she can't help herself now." Qin Shao smiled happily and was very polite to Qinggu.

She thought she understood Qin Xiang's current situation. After all, she lived in the old lady's yard. The old lady had a bad temper, so she definitely had no freedom.

Qin Shao also blinked his left eye at Qinggu, making Qinggu a little confused.

Soon, Qing Gu came back with a smile on his face, saying that his wife happened to be free now and invited Qin Shao in for tea.

Qin Shao finally stepped into the courtyard gate.

This was her third visit. The first time she came to offer congratulatory gifts. The second time the old lady met her alone, but she came and went in a hurry without saying much.

The courtyard has been quiet, simple, clean and quiet for ten years, but everyone knows that this is actually the highest center of power of the Qin family.

When the fourth house was in a turmoil, the old lady had no choice but to take action and dealt with the fourth house quickly and forcefully like thunder: demobilizing those who should be dismissed, beating those who should be beaten, and imprisoning those who should be detained. No one dared to object.

Qin Shao watched the grace and majesty of Old Mrs. Qin helplessly, and his unparalleled aunt, the eldest wife, and the second wife did not even dare to show off.

Qin Shao was sitting in the pavilion waiting for Qin Shao.

Seeing Qin Shao coming over, Qin Shao didn't get up, she just smiled and watched Qin Shao approach, pointed to the opposite side of the coffee table, and said with a smile: "Sit down, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

There was tea on the coffee table, and the pastries sent by Qin Shaogang were placed on the jade white porcelain plate.

Qin Xiang waited for Qin Shao to sit down, pointed at the pastries and said with a smile: "My son still mentions your pastries from time to time in the capital, which shows that your craftsmanship is really good!"

Qin Shao was happy and said: "Then before you leave, I will make more and bring it back to him, so that when he grows up, he will remember me as his aunt."

Qin Xiang also laughed. After laughing, Qin Xiang asked: "You came here today, but you want to see me for something?"

"Uh" Qin Shao was stunned and looked at Qin Shao carefully. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

"Between you and me, there is no need to be secretive. If you have something to say, it's okay to say it!" Qin Shao said and looked at Qin Shao.

Qin Shao is fat and has a rosy face. He seems to be doing well. Although he is a little hesitant now, his eyes are still clear and clear. Of course, in Qin Shao's eyes, Qin Shao has also changed a lot. The sharp east breath on her body seems to have become mellower, more gentle and tranquil.

Even though she spoke very directly, it was not uncomfortable.

"Okay, let me tell you the truth!" Qin Shao seemed to have figured it out and no longer struggled. Also, Qin Shao was smarter than herself. Why should she hide her thoughts? The most important thing is that she couldn't hide them. .

Then, she told the second wife that she had called her over yesterday. She didn't come over yesterday and was rushing back to make some pastries.

She also joked with a smile that when she comes to meet her sisters, she always needs some souvenirs.

Qin Xiang nodded, but felt a little embarrassed.

The old lady meant to choose only one person from her great-grandchildren to be her apprentice. In fact, it was obvious that whoever Qin Xi chose would offend the other families.

Of course, Qin Xiang didn't care, and she didn't even consider whether it would offend anyone. After all, she dared to scheme against her own father, let alone others.

However, now that Qin Shao was here, she couldn't refuse him.

Seeing Qin Xiang pondering, Qin Shao pulled her sleeves embarrassedly and said, "You don't have to be embarrassed. The second wife can't say much good to me. It's rare for her to beg me once. If I don't agree, I can't explain it, but naturally I I’m closer to you, so of course I won’t embarrass you.”

Anyway, she had said what she should say. As for Qin Shao's choice, it was certainly not Qin Shao's decision.

Qin Xiang thought for a while and said, "Go back and tell the second wife that I am not the only one to make the decision on the selection. In fact, it is the old lady who has the final say, so she can work on her."

Qin Shao was obviously a little disappointed, but still said with a smile: "This is a good way to say it, so as not to offend the second wife, and to prevent her from placing her hope on us anymore."

Qin Shao also laughed, poured tea for Qin Shao, and then talked about other things. Qin Shao couldn't continue to worry about this issue.

However, just after sitting for a while, Qin Shao talked about how she had managed the concubines at home, when she saw a servant coming over and inviting Qin Shao to the main room, saying that the old lady had invited her.

Qin Shao stood up hurriedly and said to Qin Shao: "Since you have something to do, I'll take my leave first. When it's convenient for you, you must come home and sit down. Do you remember clearly?"

Qin Xi agreed with a smile and asked Qing Gu to send the person out.

When Qing Gu sent Qin Shao away, Qin Shao was sitting in the pavilion without moving.

Qinggu came back from seeing someone off and saw Qin Xiang reading in the pavilion, so he sat opposite and poured tea for Qin Xiang.

"Aunt Qin Shao went directly to the second wife's yard. Apparently she wanted to report to the second wife."

"Hmm!" Qin Xiang responded lightly, put down the book, took the tea that Qinggu brewed again, drank it, and said: "She is also difficult to do. She doesn't have a serious mother-in-law, but she has an aunt, and this aunt doesn't look down on her. Even if you fall in love with her, you will make things difficult for her in every possible way, alas!"

Qing Gulu rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "My wife was soft-hearted and let her come in and sit for a while, and then pushed the matter to the old lady. In this way, she also had an explanation and would not be blamed by the second wife."

Qin Xiang was not as optimistic as Qing Gu: "Don't you know that there are many people in this world who like to express their anger?"

If the second wife could get the exact answer she liked, she might be able to treat Qin Shao better. But the second wife doesn't like this answer now.

When there were no outsiders, Qinggu and Qin Xiang's relationship was relatively casual. Especially after Qingcan left, Qingxi could not become Qin Xiang's confidant. Now, only Li Siniang and Qing Gu were Qin Xiang's most trusted people.

Qinggu pursed his lips and said: "Aunt Qin Shao has given birth to a child and has taken a concubine for her husband. Even if the second wife doesn't like it, how can she divorce her? I actually think that Aunt Qin Shao doesn't need to be so flattering. and fear of the second wife.”
