Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 407

The Xie family collapsed.

Qin Xiang had been paying attention to the Xie family, so soon after the officers and soldiers surrounded the Xie family, Qin Xiang knew what was going on with the Xie family. She even went to take a look at it from a distance. By chance, she saw the Xie family being dragged away. Walk.

After Qin Yan left the Xie family, the old man of the Xie family unexpectedly married a girl from a small official family. He was only seventeen or eighteen years old. When he passed Qin Xiang's carriage, his face was full of tears and his eyes were full of worry. Both feet were weak, and he staggered forward as he was pulled by others.

Qin Xiang got off the carriage and stood in front of the shop on the street. Like many others, she watched the collapse of the Xie family. Seeing the tragic scene of the Xie family crying and fighting for their lives, Qin Xiang went back to the past in a trance.

Qin Xiang felt that a storm was about to come, and hearing Yao Xiang's words today confirmed this.

Originally, she had hatred for Du Ziren, but her hatred did not make her risk everyone else.

Since Yao Xiang said that there is no need to keep the incense shop, then he will not keep it.

After leaving the palace, Qin Xiang immediately went to the incense shop. Now the shopkeeper and Ma Hui went to the new store, while Lu Xiangyin remained in the warehouse.

Now, Lu Xiangyin has some free time and can take some time to drink tea.

Qin Xiang came in and happened to see him sitting in the courtyard drinking tea leisurely, so she said, "Have someone close the door of the shop opposite, and then send someone to clean it up immediately, and open it again as quickly as possible."

Lu Xiangyin stood up, cupped his hands to Qin Xiang, understood Qin Xiang's words, was stunned for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.

He turned around and told a waiter to go over and close the door first, and he would come over later.

After the waiter left, Lu Xiangyin asked Qin Xiang: "But what happened?"

Qin Xiang sat down, but Lu Xiangyin stood aside.

"Do you know that Xie's house was ransacked yesterday?"

Lu Xiangyin was from the capital and was well informed. Besides, the Xie family was not an ordinary family of petty officials. He heard the news last night, of course, much later than Qin Xiang.

"I heard my neighbor mention it last night, saying that a whole family of men, women, and children was arrested."

Seeing Qin Xiang's eyes looking a little confused, he automatically explained: "My neighbor is the prison guard who guards the cell in the Yamen. It just so happens that my neighbor is the prison guard who guards the Xie family."

Qin Xiang's heart skipped a beat. She originally wanted to ask Lu Xiangyin to inquire about the situation of the Xie family, but now it's better, such a good relationship is right in front of her.

Qin Xiang pointed to the chair where Lu Xiangyin was sitting before and said, "Don't be busy with the shop opposite. Sit down and talk to me."

Then, she told Qinggu: "Go to the other side and watch people clean up!"

Qinggu turned around and went out. The guard was not far away and did not follow Qinggu.

"How's your neighbor's relationship with you?" Qin Xi lowered her voice a little, obviously not wanting the guards and the passers-by to hear.

"Not bad!"

After a pause, he felt that his words were a bit ambiguous. Since Qin Xiang asked, there must be a reason to ask, so he immediately added: "There is a blind old woman in their family. Sometimes he and his wife go out, or they can't make it back to their mother's house. He asked our family to take care of his mother, and our two families have regular visits during festivals."

At this point, seeing Qin Xiang nodding thoughtfully, he added: "This man is upright and upright. Because our family takes care of his mother from time to time, they and his wife are very grateful to us."

Qin Xiang asked again: "How is their family situation?" Lu Xiangyin said: "Because I have to take medicine every day, how can it be enough with his little salary from the yamen? However, in prison, there are always If we can get some money, life will be okay. However, now, their daughter is getting married, and my wife said that her family is still worried about the dowry. "

"So, they are short of money, but it's not urgent."

"It can also be said that this situation is the actual situation of most people. Not only they are worried and have no food to eat, but there are always big expenses that make people embarrassed."

Qin Xiang nodded and was thinking about it in his mind.

"What does the boss want to do with him?" Lu Xiangyin asked tentatively.

"Well, it's a bit tricky. I'm afraid he won't want to."

"My boss, just tell me that I will handle this matter, and it will be done." Lu Xiangyin felt that the time had come to show his loyalty, and immediately patted his chest and promised.

The money Lu Xiangyin earns today is much better than when he opened his own shop before making a living.

Moreover, because of the banquet held before, Lu Xiangyin had met and talked with the prince and many officials, and had also established relationships with several of them. Even if it is not used, it is very enviable on the whole street at home.

Qin Xiang glanced at him, and after thinking deeply, she said, "I want to talk to him in person. Can you help me connect the dots?"

"What's so difficult about this? If I ask him to come out to drink, he will definitely come out."

Qin Xiang nodded and said, "Prepare a gift for me and send it to his heart."

Lu Xiangyin thought for a while and said: "Now, what he cares about most is, first, my mother's health, and supplements are the most important. Second, his daughter's marriage. They only have one daughter, and the person they marry is a bit... A decent family is considered to be marrying high, so I am worried about the dowry. I always think that I can marry more gracefully and my daughter will not be burdened by him. "

People who are prison bosses are somewhat unlucky, and their status is also extremely low. As long as the man cares about her, her daughter will be teased and bullied for the rest of her life.

Both of these are easy to talk about. Qin Xiang asked Lu Xiangyin to prepare some rouge powder for the girl, and said that she would send some tonics from home later.

"By the way, madam, why not give them a piece of cotton cloth? This thing is more practical and decent than others."

Cotton cloth was still in short supply and could not be supplied to the nobles. Ordinary people could not buy it even if they collected enough money.

Naturally, Qin Xiang would not disagree: "There is a horse at home that was just born this year and has been dyed with a new color. Even if it is given to Princess Yaoxiang, it will still get a compliment. Then give it to the newlyweds first!"

Lu Xiangyin immediately said: "Why do you need such a precious thing? Just use the ordinary white cloth. For their family, white cotton is already a luxury."

"It doesn't matter!" Qin Xiang waved her hand and said: "By the way, this matter must not be disclosed to others, not even your wife and children."

When Qin Xiang brought out so many good things, Lu Xiangyin knew that this matter was probably not a trivial matter. After listening to Qin Xiang's instructions, he hurriedly responded seriously and almost wanted to raise his hand to swear.

As a result, Qin Xi stopped him.

"Forget it, there's no need to swear. If you do something that's not worthy of my trust, you must also know my methods. I can't wait for God to retaliate."

Although Ma Hui had an affair with Du Ziren, she did not betray Qin Xiang or harm the incense shop. In other words, she was discovered by Qin Xiang before she had time.

It seemed that Qin Xiang had spared her, but Lu Xiangyin could see clearly that Ma Hui had suffered a lot. Now, Qingxi was still with him. He said he was his apprentice, but it was almost like a surveillance. He followed her wherever she went. , there is no freedom at all, and the prestige is not as good as before.
