Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 373

Ma Hui didn't go in, turned around and left.

Qinggu walked to the door, poked his head out, and saw Ma Hui's back disappearing around the corner.

She turned around and came back, walked to Qin Xiang and asked, "Do you plan to give her a chance, madam?"

Qin Xiang nodded and said lightly: "As you said, it was not easy for her along the way, but she didn't want to fall into the hands of a man. Therefore, I want to give her a chance. If she chooses us and is willing to take the initiative to explain, then It’s better for us too.”

Qing Gu also thought this was very good.

Qing Qian knew that her purpose here was to keep an eye on Ma Hui. Only Qin Yafeng was still outside the situation, with a confused look on her face.

Qin Xiang went to the warehouse opposite and took a careful inventory of the goods in the warehouse, which made Lu Xiangyin a little nervous and thought he had made some mistakes, causing Qin Xiang to suddenly come up to check the goods.

Seeing that he was nervous, Qin Xi comforted him: "We may have to hold a fragrant banquet next. The specifications are comparable to the birthday of the Emperor and the Queen Mother. During this time, you must cheer up and strictly check all the spices and fragrances in the warehouse. You must not There’s something wrong with that.”

Since it was not his fault, Lu Xiangyin immediately became happy.

However, Qin Xiang was not a timid or weak-tempered person. She had a calm face and was completely indifferent to the obvious contempt of the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

To Qin Xiang's left was Lu Xiangyin, and to her right was the shopkeeper. As for Ma Hui, she was excluded by Qin Xian. Of course, the reason was that she had to run the incense shop.

Ma Hui pursed her lips and avoided her eyes. It could be seen that she was struggling very much. After a long time, she bent down and said with a smile: "Nothing, I just came to see my wife off!"

He really paid attention to the warehouse. He put what should be stored in the basement, what should be refrigerated should be refrigerated, and what should be heated should be lit. As for those placed on top, those that should be ventilated should be ventilated, and those that should be insulated should be insulated. In short, they should be divided into categories, and none of them is perfect.

After the arrangements were made, Qin Xi told them that they would have to attend a banquet tomorrow, so they would not come tomorrow.

While Lu Xiangyin listened carefully, he murmured in his heart: Logically speaking, Ma Hui is the boss's wife's confidant, but now it's better that only he and the shopkeeper are involved.

Qin Xiang sent him out. He originally wanted to ask Princess Yaoxiang if she wanted to participate, but she gave up the idea when she saw the glaring officials blowing their beards.

The officials of the Ministry of Etiquette were obviously very dissatisfied with the fact that the other party was a woman. If it hadn't been for the fact that the young prince was very friendly to Qin Xiang, he might have turned over the table and left on the spot.

"Is something wrong?"

The shopkeeper's participation is a must. Not only is he very capable, but he is also a person sent by the Lu family in Dancheng. It can be said that he is highly valued by the Lu family and Qin Xiang.

During this period, the young prince personally brought officials from the Ministry of Rites to meet with Qin Xiang, and sat down to discuss the preparations for the fragrant banquet in detail.

Qin Xiang spent two days just checking the warehouse, and asked General Lu Xiangyin to free up a separate warehouse to store the fragrances he designated separately.

Of course, the shopkeeper brought two accounting offices, and Lu Xiangyin's right-hand man and Qing Gu sat behind to help make records.

The young prince didn't have much patience, so the negotiation was quickly over, the contract that needed to be signed was signed, and the deposit that needed to be paid was happily paid. The young prince handed almost everything to Qin Xiang, looking very relieved.

After the young prince left, Qin Xiang sat down and discussed the details with several of his people, specifically the division of labor.

When she came out of the warehouse and got on the carriage, she saw Ma Hui hurriedly coming out of the incense shop. Qin Xiang sat firmly in the carriage, raised the curtain and looked at Ma Hui.

The shopkeeper, Lu Xiangyin, and other people working in the incense shop and warehouse all called Qin Xiang boss. Only Ma Hui called her wife. It sounded like she had a different relationship with Qin Xiang.

Even if Qin Xiang doesn't reuse the shopkeeper, in order to give the Lu family peace of mind, she still has to arrange for him to participate.

Qin Xiang looked at her deeply, said nothing, lowered the curtain, and Qinggu immediately told the coachman to go home.

Looking at the carriage going away, Ma Hui felt cold all over her body, and her heart was agitated by the battle between heaven and man.

However, Ma Hui understood one thing: "Madam, does she know something?" Qing Qian left, and Ma Hui did not dare to guarantee whether Qin Xiang knew about it? Or how much do you know?

She stood for a long time, until a regular customer came to buy spices. Seeing that she seemed to have lost her soul outside, he called her, and Ma Hui came back to her senses.

The regular customer smiled and said, "Who are you looking for?"

Ma Hui immediately put on a smile: "No, I just gave it to our wife!"

The regular customer gave her a meaningful look: "You are now a grown man. It's time to think about marriage. Besides, with your ability, how can there be any reason to stay under others for a long time?"

Ma Hui was stunned for a moment, and then heard a regular customer say: "Who among us regular customers doesn't know that you are basically the only one who manages this shop. We all only recognize you, but who recognizes your wife? If you open another shop, we , are all following you!"

"What are you talking about? I am nothing after leaving here."

The regular customer looked at her thoughtfully and smiled, then leaned into her ear and said, "Are you still afraid that no one will want you?"

Ma Hui stiffly forced out a smile: "Mrs. Ma, where do you start with these words?"

"Of course I came here on someone's behalf. That person wants to see you tonight. You've been ignoring me during this time, but they miss you so much. No, he asked me to come here."

Ma Hui didn't dare to continue pretending to be stupid and asked who that person was, and the little regret she felt in her heart suddenly became ups and downs again.

Ever since she overheard the conversation between Qin Xiang and Qing Gu that day, she had been uneasy. In addition, Qin Xiang and the shopkeeper Lu Xiangyin were very busy these past two days, but they did not say anything to her. , this made Ma Hui very anxious. She came out just now because she wanted to confess to Qin Xiang.

But she was not sure whether Qin Xiang really knew about her affairs. Also, if Qin Xiang knew that she had a man, would he not want her to stay and be in charge?
In his hesitation, he missed the opportunity to confess.

He hadn't seen Du Ziren for a long time, and Ma Hui had actually forgotten about him.

Ma Hui is different from other women. She has already seen clearly that if a woman lives her life blindly depending on a man, her life in the future may not be easy. Back then, even her biological father could sell her if he wanted to, let alone an outsider with no blood ties?

However, the girl Huaichun was still moved by the tenderness and affection of the handsome and aloof young man.

Facing Du Ziren's invitation and Qin Xiang's suspicion, Ma Hui fell into a dilemma.

After nightfall, Qin Xiang and Xiao Chenyu had just fallen asleep when Qing Gu came in and woke Qin Xiang up.

Qin Xi opened her eyes, still a little confused: "What's wrong?"

"Uncle Sun is here, saying that Ma Hui is going out tonight. Uncle Sun is here to ask for my wife's wishes."

Xiao Chenyu also woke up, half-stretched his body and asked: "Qingqian just came back, and she went to see Du Ziren?"

Qinggu nodded: "As soon as we went out over there, we sent someone back to report, and there are still people following. I think they are going to see Du Ziren."

Qin Xi turned to look at Xiao Chenyu: "How about venting your anger?"

Xiao Chenyu looked at Qin Xiang's shining eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, let's vent our anger!"

Xiao Chenyu turned over. Although it was a little difficult, he was able to move around.

Qin Xiang asked in surprise: "What did you get up for?"

Xiao Chenyu said: "You go to sleep and I'll talk to Uncle Sun!"

Seeing that Qin Xiang was also thinking about it, Xiao Chenyu turned around and held her shoulders, pulled up the quilt and wrapped it around her shoulders, looking down into her eyes: "Just leave this matter to me!"

Seeing this, Qinggu hurriedly took Xiao Chenyu's clothes. Xiao Chenyu didn't let Qinggu do anything, put them on himself, and then slowly walked out.
