Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 64 The boss of the Lu family
The next day, Qiao San sent four people, and only these four honest people were willing to stay.

Qiao Dazhuang is Qiao San's distant nephew. He originally wanted to follow Qiao San, but Qiao San forced him to stay. Xiao Qi is a beggar. He is 16 years old this year. He has competed with wild dogs and other beggars for food since he was a child. Although he is a human, He is thin, but very clever, and his hands and feet are very nimble. For him, it is better to stay and find food in a wealthy family than to go to the capital, so he voluntarily asked to stay. As for the contract of sale, he didn't care at all. .

There is also a pair of brothers, Zhang Lao Er and Zhang Lao San. There is a blind old woman in the family who needs to be taken care of, and they need money to treat her illness, so they are willing to stay. At least this job of looking after the home is safer and safer than that of the escort agency. .

Qin Xiang left the person behind and asked Liu Xi to take him down to settle down. Qiao San stood up and bowed to Qin Xiang. Qin Xiang stood up quickly and asked, "What does this mean, Master Qiao?"

"We don't know when we can come back now. In order not to cause trouble to Mrs. Xiao Er, we'd better not contact each other." Qiao San stood up straight and said seriously: "I will leave the orchid to Mrs. Xiao Er. For this favor, I and I My eldest brother will remember this in his heart."

"What is the relationship between Lanhua and you?" Qin Xiang frowned. She always thought that Lanhua was just an unwanted drag on them, but now it seems that there is something more to the matter.

Qiao Sanfu sat down again and talked about a past event.

Fucheng's wharf is very large, with countless ships coming and going every day, and it is busy with passengers and cargo, so there are many people who eat at the wharf.

Lu Da and Qiao San were one of them. They and another brother became sworn brothers and ranked them by their respective surnames and their ages: Lu Da, Lan Er and Qiao San.

The three of them gathered a group of poor brothers at the dock and worked together to find work. They mainly helped people unload goods, help customers find inns, matchmaking for some businessmen, etc., just to earn some hard money.

But even this kind of job is highly competitive.

When they were competing for work again, they once again clashed with their rival. I don’t know why, but the opponent was particularly vicious that time. They found helpers from nowhere. Lu Da and the others suffered heavy losses. One of them was the second brother Lan Er, that is, Lanhua's biological brother.

Before Lan Er died, he entrusted the orchid to Lu Da and Qiao San. Lu Da and Qiao San were greatly damaged and had no choice but to return to Fushui Town. After settling in, they went to Lan Er's hometown to pick up the orchid.

After Qin Xiang heard what Qiao San said, she suddenly asked: "You arranged for people to come into my house to protect Orchid?"

"Yes, not entirely. Orchids are very important to us brothers, but not to others, so they would not sell themselves for orchids. It's just a coincidence, they also want a stable job."

Of course, they will also take care of some orchids.Whether in Fushui Town or Qijiang County, both Lu Da and Qiao San knew about Lan Hua's situation, but as soon as they left, Lan Hua was left unattended, and no one knew if Qin Xiang was not good to her.

Qin Xiang originally wanted to ask if their decision to go to Fucheng had something to do with Qiao San's visit to Fucheng this time, but after thinking about it, she decided not to ask. Less words, less trouble, less trouble.

When Qiao San left, she gave Lanhua a few words. Lanhua seemed to sense that Qiao San was about to leave, so she held on to Qiao San's hand. She was as tall as Qiao San, but stronger than him and twisted around. Qiao San patiently comforted her. Tell her to be fine and they will be back soon.

After Qiao San left, Lanhua was depressed for a night and then forgot about it, and started eating happily again.Qin Xiang envied her very much, and this was not a blessing.

But there was no way for her to eat like this. Qin Xian saw that her newly made clothes were a little tight, so she simply took her to the incense room and beat the incense together with Liu Xi, which could also give Liu Xi some relief.

As long as there are snacks on the side, Orchid can be beaten without getting tired, which is much more than Liu Xixi.The shopkeeper of the incense shop sent 22 boys and girls, half male and half male.They were all bought from Fucheng and other counties, and it took a lot of effort.

Qin Xi divided people into several groups, each responsible for their own affairs. This not only allowed them to get started quickly and be precise, detailed and fast, but also did not learn all the methods secretly. This was also to prevent peers from poaching or stealing. study.

And the boss, who was said to only come to check the accounts once during the Chinese New Year, actually came too.

The owner's surname was Lu. After he arrived, he first rested for a day, then walked around the shop for a long time, and in the afternoon went to the most famous Liuye Lane in the county.

Liuye Lane is famous because it is not a brothel, but it does similar things.

On weekdays, the restaurant does not open the door to pick up customers, so it is necessary to submit a post in advance. The girl who picks up customers after reading the post agrees before inviting someone to come to the door. On this day, there is only one guest left. The woman accompanying the guest plays the piano, paints, writes poetry, and plays chess. They are good at talking about the past and the present. It not only satisfies the lustful nature of men, but also makes them more elegant. They will not be vulgarized everywhere in brothels, and there is no need to worry about meeting acquaintances.

Therefore, many businessmen are willing to come to Liuye Lane to discuss business or meet important guests, which is elegant and safe.

Yun Niang from Willow Leaf Alley tried her best to serve the man, and she even cooked the food herself. But even so, after three days, the man decisively left a sum of money and left.

Yun Niang held a box of silver and cried silently. The little maid couldn't help but was afraid that her mother would be angry if she saw it. She would not beat or scold the girl, but she, the little girl, would suffer, so she couldn't help but shed tears.

Qin Xian knew that the owner of the incense shop was here, but she hadn't seen anyone for several days and heard that he hadn't returned to Meiyuan to live, so she put the matter aside.

On this day, Lu Dong's family suddenly came to visit.

Qin Xiang did not expect that he was actually very young, in his twenties, with a fair face and a pair of passionate peach blossom eyes. When he squinted and smiled, he had a more charming charm than a woman.

Of course, the Ludong family did not expect that the woman who worked with their incense shop was so young, with a childish face and beautiful appearance. Unfortunately, her eyes were very cold and ruthless. Facing his own face, which has fascinated countless women, There is no trace of fluctuation or surprise.

"My surname is Lu, and I am the ninth in the family. You can call me Master Lu Jiu." Lu Jiu tried his best to look upright, but his appearance was too delicate and soft, and his words still seemed a bit frivolous.

Qin Xiang nodded and called out politely: "Lu Dong's family, my husband's surname is Xiao, just call me Mrs. Xiao."

Lu Jiu pursed her lips and knocked the folding fan in her hand unconsciously: "Mrs. Xiao Er, can you take me to see how the incense sticks are made?"

"No!" Qin Xiang didn't give any face: "This is a secret, and it is also the basis for my cooperation with Guixiangpu. It cannot be seen by others at will."

Seeing that Lu Jiu looked calm, Qin Xi suggested that they could go see a batch of finished products, but they were still undergoing external decoration: gold tracing and lacing.
