Marrying into a poor family

Lu Jiu shook his head and said nothing. He walked in and greeted the guests when he saw them. He hurriedly greeted the guests with a smile on his face.

Qin Xiang had been busy all day, but she couldn't sleep in bed at night. She talked to Xiao Chenyu about Princess Yaoxiang.

However, Xiao Chenyu said that he was worried about Lu Jiu, fearing that he would be soft-hearted and have intentions towards Yaoxiang County.

"I'm not worried about this. After all, Lu Jiu has seen many women. When he leaves the capital and returns to Dancheng, he will soon forget about Princess Yaoxiang."

"I hope so! Why do you think the people and things in this capital are so complicated?"

"Yeah, why is it so complicated?" Qin Xi then sighed.

But, in her heart, she wanted to say: Where is this?

At least, today’s plaque must have been hard-earned.

Qin Xian could imagine that Princess Yaoxiang and the Queen Mother must have gone through many rounds of sword-fighting before they reached today's ending.

She would not be so narcissistic that she thought Princess Yaoxiang was for her, Qin Xiang, nor would she think that Princess Yaoxiang was for Lu Jiu.

The two of them were not worthy of what Yao Xiang was like. She should be fighting with the Queen Mother for herself. However, taking the shipment of Qin Xiang and Lu Jiu as an example, of course, Qin Xiang and Lu Jiu were the winners in the end.

However, if you think about it a little deeper, you really can’t tell who will benefit.

Since then, the business of "Qixiang" incense shop has definitely been booming, but it also means that "Qixiang" has attracted all kinds of eyes: jealous, envious, and calculating.

And she and Lu Jiu got the Queen Mother's plaque because of Princess Yaoxiang, so are they considered to be from the Jiuwang Palace, or are they biased towards the Du family?

Xiao Chenyu's experience is relatively shallow and he still doesn't understand these intricate relationships and the ever-changing people's hearts.

Therefore, Qin Xiang told Xiao Chenyu everything he thought.

In the past, she told Xiao Chenyu everything because she wanted to discuss it with him and hope to get his help.

However, what she told Xiao Chenyu now was about the entanglements between high-ranking families in the capital and the propriety of interpersonal interactions.

Ordinary students would hardly understand this kind of thing. Distinguished nobles and children from aristocratic families would be taught and personally guided by family members. However, Xiao Chenyu was the descendant of a down-and-out "noble" and was truly a student from a poor family, so he did not understand this at all.

Unless he has achieved fame and become a visible future pillar, is favored by powerful people, and is bound to him in the name of in-laws or masters and disciples, will he be taught the ways of the world and the ways of life.

Qin Xiang was married to a high-ranking official in her previous life. Although she lived behind closed doors on weekdays, she still had to exercise her rights as a mistress. She still had to give enough face to the relatives and friends who should be around the house, the man's bosses and colleagues, etc. Otherwise, she wouldn't want to live a quiet life.

In the final analysis, she and the old man from the Xie family each took a step back, which was also the result of negotiations.

Qin Xiang deeply knows that everyone has their own weaknesses. As long as they identify them correctly, use them properly and seize the opportunity at the right time, they will definitely benefit from their disadvantages.

As for the guests who came today, Qin Xiang could remember them and analyzed them one by one with Xiao Chenyu.

As soon as Lu Jiu left, Qin Xiang tensed her nerves. Her strength was still not enough. If someone started from Xiao Chenyu to destroy her home, it would be easier.

Therefore, Qin Xiang should block this weak point and tell this in advance to prevent Xiao Chenyu from being inadvertently taken advantage of when interacting with people outside.

Xiao Chenyu understood Qin Xiang's thoughts, listened quietly, and kept it in his heart seriously.

At the same time, the feeling that had tortured him countless times came back - why did Qin Xi know so much?

It seems that she knows the upper-class officialdom of the capital very well.

When Princess Yaoxiang was mentioned last time, she seemed to understand her somewhat. Even if she had understood her in advance, it was not so detailed. Even Princess Yaoxiang and the Du family knew very well. "When will you tell me your secret?" Xiao Chenyu drank some wine, and in such a scene of skin-to-skin contact, Xiao Chenyu suddenly asked this question when his emotions were aroused.

Qin Xiang's body stiffened and she could not help but tremble twice. Xiao Chenyu, who was holding her in his arms, naturally felt it and was even more sure that Qin Xiang had a big secret.

Xiao Chenyu's big hand gently touched Qin Xiang's shoulder, gently comforting the stiff Qin Xiang, and regretted his recklessness: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it, don't be nervous, don't worry. No matter what secret you have, I will Always with you."

After listening to this, Qin Xiang, who was lying on his back, turned over, put his arms around Xiao Chenyu's waist, buried his face on Xiao Chenyu's shoulder, and breathed on Xiao Chenyu's neck. This was the most reassuring posture for Qin Xiang.

Smelling the familiar smell and the warmth of being embraced by Xiao Chenyu melted the deepest ice in Qin Xiang's heart on this cold night.

Ordinary Qin Xiang, even though she was smiling gently, still gave people a cold feeling.

It's not cold arrogance, but simple indifference.

There is an invisible sense of distance, as if it is her who is talking to you in front of you, but it is not her, and another she is observing everything in front of you in another form.

She is good to everyone, but she only allows them to get enough benefits, not pure care and concern. Even towards Su, there is a sense of distance.

Probably, she would only show an unguarded and gentle smile when facing Lu'er. That was a truly simple smile.

Xiao Chenyu sometimes felt inexplicable jealousy while watching Qin Xi and Lu'er playing.

Yes, he was jealous of Lu'er and his biological son. He didn't dare to mention it, let alone think about it deeply. He felt that he must be sick, or be poisoned by some kind of poison, or a poison.

The man has ambitions everywhere, but he just loves the warmth of his family.

There is no man who doesn't have three wives and four concubines. He can also go to Fireworks and Willow Lane to have fun outside. No one will say that this man has a bad character.

On the contrary, if you say that this man is thinking about his wife every day, it will make others laugh.

At the beginning, when Xiao Chenyu heard that something happened to Eunuch Zhao, he ran back without hesitation. He already had the impression in everyone's eyes that he was a useless person who could never become a great person.

In the eyes of everyone, in addition to being filial to their parents, men should obtain fame and honor their ancestors.

Businessmen should focus on making money to support their families. They can help the family to develop together, and then cultivate a group of family scholars, who will become the lintel of the family.

In ordinary farmers' households, men should work in the fields and not take care of housework. Even if the women in the family are sick, they cannot go into the kitchen to cook or wash clothes.

But if men fail to live up to their expectations, women often have to shoulder the responsibility of supporting the family.

There are many injustices to women in this world, but it has been like this for thousands of years, so what can anyone do?

The couple hugged each other, but they were each thinking about their own thoughts. Their bodies were very close, but where were their hearts?

It's like there's a thin layer of mist between them, you can see but not clearly.

Just when Xiao Chenyu was feeling sleepy, Qin Xi suddenly spoke.

"If I tell you my secret, you may be afraid. Maybe you will think that I am a monster, you will be afraid of me, and you will look at me strangely. I am afraid."

What are you afraid of?

Qin Xi thought carefully: I am actually very afraid that you will no longer hug me to sleep without any grudge.
