Marrying into a poor family

Qin Xiang did not continue to persuade Huang, but went to say goodbye to Mrs. Lu and left Dancheng with her new apprentice Qin Yafeng.

Lu Jiuyi left home early, but was waiting for Qin Xiang at the pier just to see her off.

Qin Xiang felt a little uncomfortable when she saw that Lu Jiuzhen had lost a lot of charm, but she would not show it.

However, she still reminded him too much, asking him to pay attention to the people around Huang. These people had a great influence on her and were the biggest reason for her emotional ups and downs.

Lu Jiu was stunned and said: "You are talking about my good mother-in-law?"

Qin Xiang was noncommittal.

Lu Jiu sighed with understanding: "Ever since I secretly cheated the Huang family, the Huang family has been very dissatisfied with me. Probably my father-in-law encouraged my mother-in-law to come home and say a lot of bad things about me to your sister-in-law. Over time, Probably your sister-in-law has accumulated a lot of mania, and she vented it all through her pregnancy."

Sure enough, everything has a cause and effect. Qin Xiang was also involved in that incident, and was even the planner. For this, Qin Xiang could only express his apology to Lu Jiu in his heart, and that was all.

Just as he was talking about this, he saw Qingcan and Qiao San coming over, bringing a lot of gifts with them. They looked anxious, obviously afraid that Qin Xiang had left.

Qingcan still respects Qin Xiang as always, and these gifts are given to Qin Xiang and the people around him.

However, they didn't know that Qin Xi had accepted a new apprentice and had not prepared a meeting gift for him.

Seeing Qin Yafeng staring at the dagger on Qiao San's waist for several times, Qiao San was very discerning and took the dagger off and gave it to Qin Yafeng as a meeting gift.

Qin Yafeng looked at Qin Xiang cautiously, and Qin Xiang touched his head and signaled him to take it. So, Qin Yafeng accepted it happily, and saluted Qiao San and Qingcan, but Qingcan hurriedly stopped him.

People from the Qin family's main house also came, and the team sending Qin Xiang away became larger and larger. People who were confused thought that the family members of some family were traveling!
In the distance, a carriage stopped at the corner of the street. On the carriage were Mr. Huang and his mother, Mrs. Huang.

Mrs. Huang has lost a lot of weight and her complexion is sallow. It is obvious that she is ill.

"Look, your man is standing in front of Qin Xiang, as if he is Qin Xiang's man, smiling so happily."

In fact, everyone was there at that time, including the eldest son of the Qin family, Qin Yaozong, Qiao San, Qingcan, Qin Yafeng, and Qin Yafeng's father, who finally came to see his son off.

In addition, there were also their own maids, servants, servants, etc. Sun Jifei stood on the outside, looking around cautiously, and also noticed the carriage on the corner, but because it was a little far away, he didn't pay much attention.

It was Qiao San's people who took over the safety matters on the ship, but Sun Jifei was still worried about others approaching Qin Xiang. He was personally responsible for Qin Xiang's safety and could not relax.

We arrived in Qijiang County smoothly and everyone at home was very happy.

After resting for a day, Qin Xiang went to the incense room the next day.

The second apprentice, Huang Xiu, came forward to accompany him and saw that the incense room had expanded a lot, but only precious incense products were produced here, and most of the rest were subcontracted out to several other incense-making workshops in the county.

After Huang Xiu's publicity about the Queen Mother's plaque in the capital, business here was extremely good.

"In the past, most foreign merchants went to Dancheng and surrounding counties to purchase goods. Due to the convenient waterway transportation, we also have customers coming here, but there are not many specifically looking for them. However, it is different now. Most of them come directly because of their reputation. Come, come directly to us to purchase goods.”

Huang Xiu is indeed a genius in business. While Qin Xiu admired him, she also gave him affirmation and thought in her heart that she should give him a certain share of the business, so that he would be motivated.

Lan Hua and Lian Er were inseparable, and they still worked in the incense room. Lan Hua helped Lian Er, and the two cooperated tacitly.

When Lian'er came back, she copied Qin Xiang's unfinished "Qixianglu". In addition to spending half a day every day teaching her apprentices, she spent the rest of the time practicing new incense recipes. Nowadays, people are waiting for the incense made by Lian'er.

Huzi practiced with Huang Xiu and helped him run around outside. He became a lot stronger, a lot taller, and looked more stable.

Everything in the house was in good condition, and Qin Xiang was very satisfied. She then spent two or three days in the incense shop, teaching Lian Er, Qin Yafeng, Lan Hua, and Huang Xiu several new incense recipes.

Huang Xiu is a very hard-working person. He puts all his attention on the incense workshop, and at the same time he does not give up on learning the skills of making incense.

Qin Yafeng seemed to have opened a brand new door, and the things inside the door were something he had never thought of or seen before.

He saw that his senior sister, who was only two years older than him, could calmly deal with the problems encountered when he came to inquire about making incense, and he was filled with admiration.

I also saw that although my second senior brother Huang Xiu was in his twenties, he was very respectful to his master and gentle and polite to his senior sister. Especially Lan Hua, a woman with an extremely scary height and weight, stupidly divided half of the sugar cake in his hand. Pass it to Qin Yafeng.

Qin Yafeng's originally worried heart instantly melted into the sugar cake. For the first time, he smiled happily and innocently like a child.

Various merchants in Qijiang County invited Qin Xiang to the banquet one after another. Because Qin Xiang was a woman, the places she chose avoided any sensual places and brought their wives or steady aunts with them.

Qijiang County itself is a prosperous business place, and women have more freedom. However, because of Qin Xiang, these men suddenly discovered that women can also do things, so they also paid more attention to their wives. .

There are even two wives who have participated in their family's shop business, and it turned out that they do have talents in this area.

Finally, after Qin Xiang attended the banquet hosted by the county magistrate, she finally decided to return to the capital.

At this time, the autumn wind is blowing, the locust flowers are fragrant, and the maple leaves are turning red.

Lian'er stayed in Qijiang County with her brother and mother Zhou, and was mainly responsible for the affairs here.

Huang Xiu was still the main manager, and Qin Xiang gave him great rights and shares.

After leaving Qijiang County, we did not stop at Dancheng and took a boat directly to Beijing.

Qin Xiang looked at the turbulent river and was lost in thought. She missed her family very much. Now that they were about to meet, her longing was even more intense.

The ship arrived in the capital and the journey was smooth.

After getting off the boat, it takes half a day by horse-drawn carriage to get to the North City Gate.

The top of Qifeng Mountain can be seen from a distance, but seeing it does not mean that it is very close.

This road is a main road, it is smooth, there are many people coming and going, and it is very safe.

But unfortunately, on this road that everyone thought was safe, something happened.

On a slightly narrower turning road, flanked by dense and tall woods, a disheveled woman rushed out of the woods and bumped into Qin Xiang and his party.

The woman screamed for help, and a group of men quickly followed behind her, apparently chasing the woman.
