Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 40 Father and Daughter Negotiation
Qin Xiongfei frowned and scolded Qin Xiang: "If you hadn't disobeyed and followed them back to Qin's house, why would they have thought so hard?"

Qin Xiang immediately retorted: "Excuse me, father, how many years have you not been here, and how many years have you not written a letter? Did they have any words from my father when they came? How can I trust that they have indeed received a letter from my father?" Order?"

Qin Xiongfei looked at his daughter with deep eyes. In all these years, had he ever received such an unkind counterattack?What's more, she is still a daughter raised outside.At this moment, his heart was filled with anger, but his face calmed down.

Seventeen years ago, there was a flood in this area, and Qin Xiongfei was trapped in Qijiang County. Later, he met the Su family, who was dragging Su, who was crying like pear blossoms with rain, to enter a brothel. At that time, he was confused by Su's appearance, and immediately spent 17 taels of silver to buy it People came down.

I also thought that raising a family in the county town would be a bit expensive, and the houses in the county town were more expensive, so I bought a house in Fushui Town to bring Su family closer to her family. The total cost for Su family was not enough. At 200 taels, Su's heart was fixed.

He had expectations for Qin Xiang before, but when he was a child, Qin Xiang was not sweet-mouthed and even a little cold. Later, as he had more and more women and children, and the business here was less, he gradually forgot about this place.

If it weren't for the sudden marriage proposal, and the other party liked Qin Xiang, who was so cold, aloof and talented, Qin Xiongfei might not have thought of Qin Xiang.

However, now it seems that Qin Xiang is very different from when she was a child. She has outstanding appearance but also has a surly temper, and she even dares to criticize her biological father.

Suddenly, Qin Xiongfei thought of another hostess: "Where's your mother? I've been here for so long, why don't I see her?"

"Mom went to the nunnery to burn incense. She said she wanted to pray for her father and she would stay there for several days." Qin Xiang also changed the subject.

Qin Xiongfei asked again: "Are you married?"

Qin Xiang nodded lightly.

"Why do you still live in your parents' home after you get married?" Qin Xiongfei probed pointedly.

"This house is my dowry, not my mother's house." Qin Xiang still answered calmly and calmly.

"Haha, you are sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued. You are not as obedient as before." Qin Xiongfei had a smile on his face, but his eyes became colder.

"I don't agree with your marriage. If you call that man over and tell me clearly in front of me, you are the daughter of my Qin family. How can you marry a poor man at will? Wouldn't it be a slap in my face, Qin Xiongfei."

Qin Xiang rolled her eyes in an unladylike manner and said, "Father, I am already the wife of the Xiao family, and I am also listed in the Xiao family tree. The Xiao family has a memorial arch, and its ancestors also had high-ranking officials. You can tell me with just one sentence The daughter-in-law who made their family's genealogy ran away? The Xiao family now has no father's money, but they are not a businessman, and my husband is also a child of a poor family. Father, please think twice."

No matter how rich the merchants are, they still have to be inferior to others. This is the biggest reason why Qin Xiongfei wants to change his family, but he chooses marriage.

Marry off many daughters, and then marry the legitimate son of the family to a daughter of a scholar, and then let the son go to school. Over time, the Qin family may be able to transform from a merchant family to a scholar family.

He also understood Xiao Chenyu's situation, and he was not the one favored by the Xiao family. But now that Qin Xiang had brought the Xiao family out to suppress him, maybe the Xiao family really wanted to stand up for Xiao Chenyu, and then the matter would be a bit difficult to handle. .

"I will stay here for two days. Your mother and I will discuss this matter. Which nunnery is your mother in? I will send someone to pick her up."

Qin Xiongfei thought that since he had persuaded the Su family, Qin Xiong's opinion was not needed on this matter.

But how could Qin Xiang be willing to tell her mother's whereabouts? She just shook her head and said, "My mother has only been there for two days. It's better for father not to disturb her."

Qin Xiongfei could no longer hold back his anger and threw the tea cup on the table at Qin Xiang, who hurriedly turned his head to avoid it. "Father, are you so angry?" The chair was full of tea. Qin Xiang stood up and looked at Qin Xiongfei coldly. She walked to the chair on the right and sat down. Obviously, she was not afraid of Qin Xiongfei.

At this moment, Lian'er walked in from the front door, followed by Qiao San and about a dozen bodyguards, each holding a weapon. It was obvious that Qin Xiang had ordered Lian'er to call in advance.

In Fushui Town, Qin Xiang was still confident that she could fight Qin Xiongfei.

"What are you doing? Are you going to fight me?" Qin Xiongfei laughed angrily at this stubborn daughter, pointed at her and asked angrily.

"No, how dare I fight against my father? I am not such an unfilial person." Qin Xi smiled gently: "However, I can't let my father take me away as he pleases."

That means it's not impossible to do it, it just depends on how you do it?
"What if I have to take you away?" Qin Xiongfei said through gritted teeth, not believing that Qin Xiang really dared to fight against him.

Qin Xiang turned to look at the yard and said calmly: "I would rather the jade be broken than tiled."

"How did you learn to be so ruthless?" Qin Xiongfei was dumbfounded. With such a soft and cowardly temperament, how did Su teach such a daughter?
"Father, not only do I not want to go with you, I also want to ask for my mother's renunciation contract from my father, and I hope that my father will fulfill it." Qin Xiang turned around, stood up and curtsied to Qin Xiongfei, and said very solemnly.

Qin Xiongfei suddenly laughed, smiling very proudly. Look, no matter how arrogant and cruel Qin Xiang is, she still has a fatal weakness in her hands.

This time he started to calm down and wanted to drink tea, but found that the tea cup was smashed, so he had to withdraw his hand.

"Your mother's deed of prostitution is indeed in my hands, but why should I give it to you? You don't recognize me as your father, so why should I consider your feelings? Since you are married to someone else, you are someone else's daughter-in-law, and I have no control over it; But I’m going to take your mother away, and you can’t control this.”

Qin Xiang looked at him coldly, biting her lip and saying nothing. The biggest reason why she sent Su away was because she was afraid that she would interfere in the negotiations between her and her father, and she was even more afraid that she would be taken away by Qin Xiongfei and become her weakness.

Just when Qin Xiongfei thought Qin Xiang had nothing to do, Qin Xiang took out a piece of paper from his sleeve pocket and handed it over.

There are some words written on the thin piece of paper, and half a picture. The bottom part is blank paper.

The above is clearly the fragrant dew extraction method.

Qin Xiongfei's pupils suddenly shrank, his eyes immediately sharpened, and he asked Qin Xiang: "How did you learn about the method of extracting this fragrant dew?"

"Father, there is no need to delve into where he got it. Anyway, no one will come to him and say it is their family's method."

Qin Xiongfei naturally knows that today's fragrant dews are brought from abroad as tribute, and the court rewards them in various names. These fragrant dews living outside are not only a matter of price, but also status and hard-to-find things. .

There are also some families who make fragrances who have learned to make fragrance lotions, but they are too crude and the products they make can be regarded as scented water, but the fragrance is not long-lasting and rich.

If he had this method, then the Qin family would be able to really make a fortune, and maybe even get an imperial merchant Dangdang, which would be no ordinary merchant.
