Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 368

Originally, he did not plan to see Princess Yaoxiang, but after Qin Xiang came out, he changed his mind.

At first, Qin Xiang took advantage of Yaoxiang, intentionally or unintentionally giving the impression that she knew Princess Yaoxiang and was familiar with her.

In fact, there is basically no contact between the two parties.

Later, Qin Xiang was inexplicably invited to attend the 100-day banquet of Princess Yaoxiang's son. She was worried for a while because the relationship between the two had not reached this point.

It was only later that she realized that everything was just a matter of planning and balancing gains and losses.

Yao Xiang is different from Liu. Yao Xiang's kindness is also accompanied by interests and calculations. Qin Xiang cannot see her true heart. However, Liu is really good to Qin Xiang, even if the original purpose is not that. simple.

Therefore, Qin Xiang was able to let down her guard against Mrs. Liu, and remained absolutely clear-headed and wary of Yao Xiang every time she met.

After being invited into Yao Xiang's study, he saw Yao Xiang writing something behind the large desk.

When Qin Xi came in, he just asked her to sit on the kang in front of the window and wait for a while.

Qin Xiang sat down and looked at the study.

In most women's study rooms, you can see some of the woman's preferences, but this study is very simple. Apart from a majestic landscape calligraphy and painting on the wall, there are only the four treasures of the study on the desk, the three-legged unicorn cauldron incense burner, and the ancient books on one wall. There were only books on the shelf and no other ornaments.

It can be seen that this is the place that truly reflects Yao Xiang’s character.

The maid served tea, and Yao Xiang also put down her pen. She walked aside and the maid helped her clean her hands and apply lotion before walking over and sitting opposite Qin Xiang.

Qin Xiang stood up and saluted, Yao Xiang waved her hand: "Sit down, there is no need for more courtesy between us."

Qin Xiang didn't know how much Yao Xiang knew about the Ninth Prince and Die Ji. Suddenly I remembered that in the previous life, when Qin Xiang was working as a geisha in Zuihong Mansion, she was quite famous for her success in imitating Butterfly Princess. This was why Princess Yaoxiang came to listen to her play music. Therefore, Yaoxiang must be the most important person to Butterfly Princess. knew.

"You didn't say you didn't come to see me, why are you here again?"

Yao Xiang seemed a little tired. She rubbed her forehead with her fingertips and asked Qin Xiang in a casual voice.

"I just suddenly wanted to come and see you. As you know, women are always fickle and have several thoughts at the same time."

Qin Xi also said with a slight smile, took another sip of tea, and praised: "This tea is clear and has a sweet aftertaste. It is better than the tea I drank in the prince's room just now."

Yao Xiang put down her hand, raised her eyes and looked at Qin Xiang with a smile: "You are really tricky. Grandpa's tea is not something you can usually drink. However, he likes strong tea, and I don't like it very much either. Instead, I prefer this clear tea. Light tea aroma.”

Yao Xiang's tea was naturally extraordinary, so Qin Xiang asked for it. Yao Xiang laughed and cursed, and asked the maid to pack two taels for Qin Xiang.

After chatting for a while and the atmosphere was just right, Qin Xiang finally said: "The princess should still remember Ma Hui in my shop, right?"

Yao Xiang has been to the incense shop three times. Ma Hui's mouth is so sharp that Yao Xiang remembers it deeply.

"Of course I remember. This girl has a sharp mouth and is a good business person. I want someone like this!"

Qin Xi smiled and said, "I want more than just the princess!"

Yao Xiang heard the name and knew that Qin Xiang would not mention a manager of an incense shop without any reason. Even if this person was a neat and capable person, he was not worthy of Qin Xiang's special mention in front of Yao Xiang.

"Oh, do you think someone wants to poach you?"

"It's not necessarily poaching, but this person's behavior is sneaky, which makes people a little confused!" "Tell me about it!" Yao Xiang was completely interested, and her casual eyes brightened.

"My men discovered that Ma Hui was having an affair with someone. After following him, they found that the person was actually Du Ziren."

Yao Xiang blinked and asked in shock: "Du Ziren and Ma Hui? Are you sure?"

Qin Xiang nodded slowly and firmly.

Yao Xiang also had a romantic relationship with Du Ziren, but she had no feelings for Du Ziren, and she didn't feel jealous when she heard this. Instead, she rolled her eyes back to Ma Hui.

But no matter how much he thought about it, he never found anything attractive about Ma Hui that could attract Du Ziren.

Yao Xiang said: "It's an exaggeration to say that the woman next to Du Ziren is beautiful and fragrant. To say that he has fallen in love with you, I still believe it. But Ma Hui, the difference is not even a little bit, right? If Du Ziren is mixed with her, there must be something." The intention.”

Qin Xiang also nodded: "I think so too. It's not that Ma Hui is not outstanding, but if you want a young master like Du Ziren to have an affair with her secretly and brave the freezing cold to have a private meeting in the middle of the night, I am I can’t figure it out.”

"So, I sent people to keep an eye on Ma Hui, but I didn't dare to alert him. I was afraid that if they found out, I wouldn't be able to catch their real purpose."

Yao Xiang said: "Could it be that he wants to know about the incense shop? For example, the source and sales of incense, etc.?"

Qin Xiang shook his head: "In my incense shop, everyone has a very clear division of labor, and no one person can know everything. Besides, the real ability of my incense shop lies in the continuous innovation of fragrances and the excellent quality of my fragrances. Excellent."

The two of them were speechless for a moment, and both thought for a while. Qin Xiang added, "Besides, the real money maker now is the cotton industry. Shouldn't he attack the cotton mill?"

Yao Xiang's eyes widened, her eyebrows raised high, and she said, "He dares?"

Cotton finally started to be sold last year, but the quantity was still small and the price was ridiculously expensive. Qin Xiang and the Lu family and Qin family in Dancheng definitely couldn't afford this stuff, so they sold it in the capital directly to Jiu Wangfu's shares, that is, Use Jiuwangfu to suppress Xiao Xiaogui.

Therefore, Yao Xiang reacted greatly when the cotton spinning business was mentioned. After all, this also affected her interests.

However, there was no movement from Ma Hui for the time being, so he could only wait.

Qin Xiang told Yao Xiang about Old Doctor Zhang again. After all, she was worried about Old Doctor Zhang's character. She was afraid that the Ninth Prince would mess up his plans in his eagerness to treat the disease and cause trouble. Therefore, she reminded Yao Xiang, pay attention.

Yao Xiang was a deviant woman, but this was the first time she heard that there were people making medicine, and she was a little unbelievable.

She then promised Qin Xi that she would keep an eye on her grandfather's affairs and would send someone to inform Qin Xi if anything happened.

At this point, Qin Xiang was about to leave, and Yao Xiang refused to let her have dinner.

Yao Xiang asked about Xiao Chenyu's injury, and Qin Xiang also said a few words.

Yao Xiang personally sent Qin Xiang out: "I'll see your grandfather after I see her off."

Before leaving the house, I met the young prince head-on.

"A commoner's wife pays homage to the young prince!" Qin Xiang had never been so polite to the ninth prince, which showed that she was grateful to the young prince.

The young prince is only sixteen or seventeen years old, with red lips and white teeth, and his eyes narrow into crescent moons when he smiles. He is a lovable and handsome young man.

"Xiao Wang came to see my Ninth Uncle. Unexpectedly, he met Mrs. Xiao Er. It just so happened that I had something to ask you for help. It was great that I met you, so I didn't have to look for you all the time."
