Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 48
Su sat in front of the window, staring at the sky outside in a daze.

"Well, the matter has come to this, Madam, don't think about it so much." Aunt Sang felt very uncomfortable at the side. She tried to persuade Mrs. Su to think again, but Mrs. Su didn't listen. They had all seen how powerful Qin Xiang was before. angry.

"Mom!" The door was pushed open and Qin Xiang walked in. Aunt Sang looked at Qin Xiang and pointed at Su who was motionless, hoping that Qin Xiang would stay with her.

Qin Xiang walked over and said to Aunt Sang: "Aunt Sang, please go downstairs and order some dishes to eat in the house."

Aunt Sang stood up and asked again: "Where are they?"

"They're out, don't worry about them."

After Aunt Sang left, Qin Xiang sat next to Mrs. Su and looked out the window following her mother's gaze. A gentle drizzle began to fall in the originally sunny sky. Green buds sprouted from the old branches outside the window, and the feeling of spring quietly crept up. branches.

Qin Xiang said: "Mom, the Waking of Insects is coming soon. Shouldn't our family prepare lime, mugwort and other materials? Every year, my mother and Aunt Sang prepare it early, otherwise snakes, insects, rats and ants will be everywhere and my daughter won't know. What should I do?”

Mrs. Su twisted her stiff neck and looked at her daughter: "You have to learn to do this in the future. You are already a woman. You can't always count on your mother."

"Then I have to teach you my mother slowly. Only when I have learned it can I let go, right?" Qin Xiang looked at Su with a smile, her eyes lingered on her mother's bare head for a moment, and then she looked away at her mother. s eyes.

Mrs. Su sighed heavily and said: "When a daughter grows up, she will always leave mother. In the future, you will have your own children and your own home. Mother will pray for you at Shuiyue Temple and bless my son's life." "

"Mom, have you ever been on a big ship? It's a big, tall ship with several floors." Qin Xiang ignored Su's words and asked suddenly. Su shook her head.

Qin Xiang asked again: "Have you ever gone to see a play, mother? It's not a banquet held by the landlord in the village or a stage set up on the street or roadside during the New Year. It's a leisurely sitting under the stage, drinking fragrant tea and eating. Tea, fruit, snacks, the kind you can order and listen to your favorite plays.”

Su Shi also shook his head.

"Did Mom ever go out for an outing in March? Did she ever go boating to pick lotus pods in June? Did she ever see red maples all over the mountains in October? Did Mom ever see red plum blossoms under the white snow in winter?"

Su Shi all shook his head.When she was a child, she worked day and night. Her world only consisted of the fields, the kitchen and livestock at home. She was sold to Qin Xiongfei as an outhouse at the age of 16, so she didn't need to work anymore, but she didn't dare to go out and walk around at will, for fear of causing gossip, and she was even more afraid of being pointed, whispered, or even laughed out loud by people behind her. .She trapped herself in the small courtyard in Fushui Town for more than ten years.

What has she seen?What had she eaten?When it comes to seeing through the world of mortals and becoming a monk, Su has never even seen the world of mortals, so how can he see through it?

"Mom, you are free. Don't be afraid of the Su family, let alone Qin Xiongfei. Let's move to the county town. No one here will recognize you. You can go wherever you want and do whatever you want. From now on, my daughter will let her mother Live a good life, mother, don't you want to become a monk?" Qin Xiang didn't pray or get angry, she just said calmly.

Su Shi suddenly covered her face and cried. This was the first time Qin Xiang saw Su Shi cry so sadly, which was so distressing.

Qin Xi stood up, walked behind Su, bent down and hugged her mother hard.

The complaints about motherhood that Qin Xiang had in her heart also dissipated.

After lunch, Mrs. Su and Aunt Sang went back to Shuiyue Temple. After all, they had just asked the master of Shuiyue Temple to ordain themselves, and they had to go back to make an explanation no matter what. Besides, Qin Xiang had a lot of things to do now, and Ms. Su lived in Shuiyue Temple. On the contrary, Yue'an is better and safer.Mother and daughter agreed to pick up Su after everything settled down.

It was easy for Xiao Chenyu to go to the Yamen to cancel the Su family's slave registration, after all, the procedures were complete.

After the matter was done, Xiao Chenyu asked the clerk in a low voice: "Among the people I saw walking on the street today, there are some good ones. My family wants some servants to work. I wonder if the official can make it easier for me. I will pay for it." Buy for two.”

The clerk said without raising his head: "Go, go, go, they will parade for three days, not even an hour. The day after tomorrow, you will wait at Xishikou, and they will all be sent to buy them. As long as the money is ready, they will Several can be made.”

Xiao Chenyu frowned slightly, then relaxed it, still smiling, he leaned over and took a silver coin from his sleeve and handed it over, saying in a low voice: "To be honest, my father-in-law was drinking with the county magistrate yesterday. Mr. Qin, he fell in love with one of the women, but it’s not easy to publicize it. As a junior, I should take the initiative to think about the elders, right? "

It is funny to say that a son-in-law seduces women for his father-in-law, but it is not unheard of. If a son-in-law is not good enough and wants to marry his in-laws, he can do even more outrageous things, let alone women.

The clerk happened to know about the county magistrate's treat last night, and also knew that the visitor was the fourth master of the Qin family in Fucheng.Hearing this, he raised his head and glanced at Xiao Chenyu, only to see that this man was handsome and smiling, and he didn't look like a flatterer.

However, he understands that people should not be judged by their appearance.

But he would not just believe Xiao Chenyu's words, so he asked: "What is your name? How to prove that you are Mr. Qin's son-in-law?"

"My name is Xiao Chenyu. I am currently studying in the county school. The official asked me casually and found out that I just married a wife and she is Master Qin's daughter. I was still with my father-in-law at noon today. I just sent my father-in-law away and came to do the things he asked me to do. thing."

The clerk was unsure of what the person in front of him was saying, but being cautious was his consistent principle, so he asked Xiao Chenyu to wait while he went to the backyard to ask the county magistrate's master for questioning.

The master happened to be enjoying tea with the county magistrate. After hearing the report from the clerk, the two looked at each other. The master asked: "Did someone say his name is Xiao Chenyu?"

The clerk replied: "Yes! He said he was studying at the county school."

The county magistrate shook his head and sneered: "He is another man who is trying to please his father-in-law. He married Mr. Qin's daughter, and he considers himself his son-in-law. He also wants to send women to please his father-in-law. He is also a good person who knows how to please and behave well."

The master pondered for a moment and then asked: "Do you want me to give him the person?"

"Yes, why don't you give it? If you don't give it, it will reach Master Qin's ears in the future, and it means that we are not willing to give him face. What are we doing to make him unhappy for two servants?" After a pause, he shook his head and sighed: " This Xiao Chenyu can be so careless about his face to please his father-in-law, but he is still a person. There is no chance that he will be able to succeed in the future. We are just here, so we can just make friends, there is no need to create too many rivals."

The master also agreed. Not long after they arrived, they took the second-in-command of the county government together with his subordinates. Now it is better to keep a low profile.

As a result, Xiao Chenyu was enthusiastically welcomed into the county jail by the petty officials.
