Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 377

Ma Hui naturally knew, so she remained silent.

"What do you plan to do?" Qin Xiang didn't dwell on the matter and said, "Even if you want to marry him, I can let you go. Don't think I'm so heartless. After all, you are just the manager of the shop. The incense shop is not inseparable from you."

"I don't want to leave the incense shop."

Unexpectedly, Ma Hui's answer was without hesitation, which surprised both Qin Xiang and Xiao Chenyu.

"Madam, I took the wrong path before, so I went here this time just to gain his trust and to get his true plan and purpose of getting closer to me."

Although Qin Xiang didn't trust her very much, she still asked: "What are his purposes and plans?"

"He said that my wife will help provide spices and incense for the young prince's fragrant banquet, so let me play a role in it."

Qin Xiang couldn't help but frown, and asked in a deep voice: "He has known you for three or two months. Is it just for this? At that time, he knew that the young prince could take on this job? And how did he know that the young prince could take on this job? Find me to help organize the fragrant banquet? "

Could it be that the young prince and Du Ziren set a trap for Qin Xiang?

Qin Xiang shook his head and refused: "Just take one with you, and the other will go to my mother's room."

When Qin Xiang saw her swearing, she actually believed her.

"Has Du Ziren told you how to do it specifically?" Qin Xiang's tone also softened and she asked calmly.

After all, Ma Hui was just having an affair and had not done anything harmful to Xiangpu and Qin Xiang, so she had no choice but to let it go.

Qinggu opened the door and came in, saying to Qin Xiang: "Madam, it's time to go to the banquet."

At the beginning, the Ninth Prince gave Qin Xiang four women in his hands. As soon as Qin Xiang came out, he whispered to Xiao Chenyu: "You arrange for the two women to go to the incense shop, and then go in the normal way of looking for work, and don't let anyone find out. It’s the one we arranged.”

Of course, he was also afraid that Du Ziren would discover something strange about Ma Hui.

Seeing that Qin Xiang and Xiao Chenyu were silent, Ma Hui's eyes were a little flustered, and she hurriedly raised her hands and swore: "I, Ma Hui, will never do anything that harms my wife's interests. Otherwise, the sky will be struck by lightning, and I will die a good death!"

Ma Hui said very calmly: "Madam, I have not done anything to disgrace Xiangpu, let alone my wife and the second master. The reason why I told you Du Ziren's plan is to stay. I don’t want to leave the incense shop!”

Then, he looked at Ma Hui and said, "Go back to the incense shop and do your work normally. I want to see your performance before deciding whether to keep you."

"Not yet, he just said that he will tell me how to do it at the right time." Ma Hui also calmed down, and now she was even more certain that Du Ziren was just using her, and that he said he liked it was all bullshit!

Xiao Chenyu nodded and said: "You go to the banquet first, I will make arrangements at home, and the other two girls will dress up as maids and follow you."

Qin Xi said to Xiao Chenyu: "Let's go out first!"

Isn't it worth investing so much money for Qin Xiang?
Is it to pull out the Ninth Prince and Yao Xiang? But no one knows about his relationship with the Ninth Prince's Mansion, and it is impossible to use Qin Xiang to suppress the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

The couple separated, and Xiao Chenyu went back to the hall in the front yard to handle things while waiting for a reply from the palace.

The place where Qin Xiang went to the banquet was in a separate garden, not in the bachelor's residence.

As soon as Qin Xiang's carriage stopped, someone came to greet him. His attitude was very good and there was no sign of neglect for the time being. He was welcomed into the courtyard and walked along the corridor to a large and bright house. There were already several well-dressed ladies and some maids waiting in the room.

The person in charge was the bachelor's wife, whose surname was Yao. She was a plump middle-aged woman with a round face, ginkgo eyes, a smile on her lips, and a hearty laugh.

As soon as Qin Xiang came in, she found that there were braziers burning in the corners of the room, and the room was very warm.

It was said to be a flower-viewing banquet, but in fact it was just a few exquisite porcelain dishes placed in the room, with plum branches broken from outside inserted inside.

Qin Xi couldn't help but think of the plum garden at home in Qijiang County, which was probably in full bloom now.

Because of the heat, Qinggu helped Qin Xiang take off her cloak, and everyone looked over. Even though Qin Xiang was not dressed in luxurious jewelry, she was not elegant either. Coupled with her appearance and bearing, it was enough to make people unable to take their eyes away. .

Mrs. Yao was stunned for a moment, then stood up and came over to greet her. How could Qin Xiang stand still? She quickly stepped forward with a smile and saluted Mrs. Yao, and Mrs. Yao returned the salute.

He took Qin Xiang's hand and smiled gently: "We, a group of people, always get together from time to time, but we are all old acquaintances. Today, several new ladies have joined us, and our flower viewing party will be more interesting." It’s a little bit different, don’t you think so?”

"Mrs. Yao is so happy because she is beautiful, right?" Some people joked and agreed with Mrs. Yao's words.

Mrs. Yao smiled and said: "It's said to be a flower viewing party, but there are no flowers around. Now that a beauty who is more delicate than flowers has come, doesn't it mean that we don't need those flowers?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone covered their mouths and chuckled, with all kinds of emotions in their eyes.

Qin Xiang only slightly lowered her head and pursed her lips and smiled softly, looking like a shy and flattering wife of a lower official. In the eyes of those ladies, she looked like a little family person who couldn't stand up to the stage.

So, without any explanation, I despised it a bit.

Qin Xiang gave the gift to Mrs. Yao. Mrs. Yao did not open it to look at it, but turned around and handed it to her mother-in-law to put away.

Later, Mrs. Yao led her to meet everyone and then arranged for her to sit down.

Xiao Chenyu's official position was low, so he was arranged last.

There is still an empty seat next to Mrs. Yao, and that is for Du Ziren's wife, Princess Huayi.

Qin Xiang didn't care. When everyone saw that she was very honest, they became rude to her.

A gorgeously dressed lady opposite asked curiously: "Mrs. Xiao, I heard that you are very close to the Nine Princes' Mansion? Is this the case?"

Logically speaking, it would be extremely rude to ask such a question when meeting for the first time. However, Qin Xiang swept away everyone and everyone looked at her. It was obvious that this had been decided a long time ago.

Qin Xiang smiled. In the past, she would be afraid that people would not accuse her of having a relationship with Yao Xiang, but now that there is a relationship, she no longer talks about it.

So, she just smiled lightly and said: "Actually, it was Princess Yaoxiang who asked me to make incense several times. When word spread outside, I recognized Princess Yaoxiang. I want to ask, how can such a noble person be with me? How about making friends with this stupid woman?"

Everyone was dubious and didn't want to ask more questions. At this moment, a sharp, cold and arrogant female voice sounded at the door: "It's best that you know your identity, and don't spread rumors that you have anything to do with Sister Yaoxiang. Really?" It’s ridiculous, don’t let us lose face.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a lady in her twenties walked in, with a maid on each side supporting her arms. Behind her were two women, and behind them were two little maids.
