Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 325: Someone coming from Dancheng
It has been many years since the Ninth Prince's Mansion hosted a formal banquet.

Therefore, opening the door to welcome guests with great fanfare this time can be regarded as a major event that Kyoto people talk about.

There are rumors about the origin of the child, and more importantly, is the Ninth Prince's Palace going to seize power again?
The Nine Kings almost aspired to the highest throne in the palace, but, for some unknown reason, they were eliminated by the First Emperor.

But after all, he loved him dearly and gave him many amulets, so that during the late emperor's reign, no one dared to compete with the Ninth Prince. They all avoided his sharp edges and fawned over him.

When the Ninth Prince was young, he lived a ridiculous life for many years. He held banquets, drank and had fun every day at the Qifeng Mountain Villa. Later, he didn't know what happened, and suddenly he stayed behind closed doors.

Since then, the glory of the Nine Princes' Palace has been mentioned by people after dinner.

But it was accompanied by the sparse number of people in the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

In recent years, Princess Yaoxiang has become a topic of conversation in the Ninth Prince's Palace again, but when she talks about it, her tone is always filled with contempt and ridicule.

With the silence of the Nine Princes' Palace and the decline of their descendants, the Du family, who prospered with the new emperor, now has a huge power in the world second only to the current emperor.

The Du family has been too arrogant in recent years, and many families have been overwhelmed, but they are only dissatisfied in their hearts and dare not show it on their faces.

After receiving the post from Jiuwangfu, everyone was worried.

They all went to the Du family to see the old man of the Du family. They must go to the Nine Princes' Mansion. But it's time to inform the Du family that this is also a procedure that needs to be followed, or at least ask for instructions.

The old man of the Du family didn't show up at all and just threw the problem to those people.

Of course, people from the royal family would not ask a relative. Of course they wanted to go, and they were very excited about it.

While everyone was busy making preparations, Mrs. Lu from Dancheng sent someone over.

On this day, Qin Xiang was making incense, and Qin Yafeng watched from the side. When the incense was finished, Qin Xiang shouted outside to invite people to come in and finish.

But it was Qing Gu who came in and said, "Madam, the Lu family in Dancheng sent Mother Chen here."

When Qin Xiang was making incense, she wanted to be calm and in a state of mind. Even if Xiao Chenyu came back, he would wait for her to go back by herself instead of coming to disturb her.

Therefore, Qinggu waited outside.

Qin Xiang cleaned her hands, and Qinggu stepped forward to help hand over the handkerchief and ointment.

"Where is the person?" Qin Xiang asked Qinggu as she wiped the ointment and walked out.

Qing Gu smiled and said, "Sister Si Niang is here with me. She should arrange accommodation and some meals."

Qin Xiang nodded and said with a smile: "Li Siniang is really indispensable in this family!"

Qinggu joked: "My wife can't live without me!"

"Hmph, when Qingqian can accept it, I will marry you off. You should see if I can live without you."

"Qinggu doesn't want to get married, so my wife will treat her as a pitiful slave!" Qinggu knew that Qin Xiang was joking, so naturally he didn't care and started joking along with her.

After returning to the house, Li Siniang walked in. Qin Xiang went directly behind the screen to change clothes. Qinggu and Li Siniang followed in to help her change clothes.

"What are you doing here, Mother Chen?" Qin Xiang asked. Of course, Qing Gu would not think that he was asking her.

Li Siniang smiled and said softly: "It's because Mrs. Lu misses you, so she asked her to come over and send her some New Year's gifts and see if she's doing well."

Qin Xiang didn't believe it: "In the past, the Lu family sent gifts by cargo ship, so why bother to go there in person?"

"I think so too. Mother Chen is Mrs. Lu's most trusted person, and she is also Mrs. Lu's right-hand man. How can we be separated from her?"

After all, Qin Xiang is not her biological daughter, so she doesn't value her so much.

"Look at her expression, can she be impatient?" Qin Xiang asked again, and Li Siniang shook her head: "This person is very sophisticated. I can't see the look on Mother Chen's face." Qin Xiang smiled calmly: "So, you guys It still needs a lot of hard work.”

Li Siniang and Qinggu couldn't help but smile in response.

After the clothes were put on but still needed accessories, Qin Xiang asked Qinggu to stay while Li Siniang went to invite the people.

Mother Chen was about fifty years old and a cheerful person. When she came in, she saluted Qin Xi first. Qin Xi stood up to avoid it and reached out to hold Mother Chen's hand, but Mother Chen stubbornly insisted on saluting. Qin Xiang could only receive a half-sentence.

Later, Qin Xi asked Mrs. Chen to sit down and drink tea.

The little maid served tea, and Qinggu took the people away in person, leaving only Qin Xiang and Li Siniang to accompany them.

Qin Xiang pointed to the chair opposite Mother Chen and said to Li Siniang: "It's rare for you to have leisure, sit down and have a rest!"

Li Siniang sat down obediently, and Qin Xi asked Qinggu to serve Li Siniang a cup of tea.

When Mother Chen saw Qin Xiang being polite to Li Siniang, she also looked at Li Siniang, the manager of the Xiao family, with a high regard.

"My godmother can just ask an errand boy to go to Beijing. It's freezing cold here, so why bother Mother Chen to go there herself?"

"Oh, at my age, I can still go out and walk around. It's all thanks to your blessing. How can I say it's hard work?"

When Mrs. Chen smiles, she has deep wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but she looks happy and makes people feel comfortable.

"I'm here. Firstly, our wife wants me to see how you are doing in person? Secondly, I heard that the old lady gave birth to a little girl. She was even more happy. We can't let anyone else bring this gift. "

"Godmother, you're welcome!"

"This is the third one." At this point, Mother Chen glanced at Li Siniang and paused for a moment.

Qin Xian immediately said: "Mama Chen just said it's okay, there's no need to worry about her!"

Mother Chen knew what Qin Xiang meant and would tell Li Siniang later.

So she stopped being polite and looked at Qing Gu standing outside the door, talking to another little girl, and felt relieved.

"Three months ago."

Three months ago, the daughter-in-law of the Lu family gave birth. After three days and three nights, she finally gave birth to a baby boy.

The Lu family was extremely happy, and they all said that they had a successor.

Of course, it is unclear whether the relatives are really happy or pretending to be happy.

Lu Jiu also cheered up and stayed with his wife and young son at home, but his habit of being in a daze remained unchanged.

Mrs. Lu had become accustomed to her son's appearance, and gradually stopped caring about him. In addition, the birth of her grandson occupied all of Mrs. Lu's thoughts.

In order to be with her daughter, who narrowly escaped death, Mrs. Huang came to Lu's house early every day to be with her daughter, and then returned to Huang's house in the evening.

The mother and daughter murmured in the room, and immediately separated when outsiders came.

Mrs. Lu couldn't help but become suspicious after hearing the maid's private report, and secretly asked people to pay more attention.

But the whole confinement was over, and I still didn't find anything wrong, so I threw it away.

After the full moon, Huang changed his previous low-key and virtuous attitude and suddenly became complacent.

All in all, he was a bit arrogant, especially towards his aunt who had lost her child.

Because she was afraid that her aunt would be uncomfortable, Mrs. Lu moved her to live in a separate courtyard and had several maids and women to serve her, just because she was afraid that she would be distracted and seek death.
