Marrying into a poor family

What is supposed to come will always come, so why not take the initiative.

Since her rebirth, Qin Xiang has always relied on taking the initiative to take the initiative, so she also planned the Xie family's affairs in the same way.

After returning home, Qin Xiang got into the incense making room and didn't come out until dawn the next day.

Qin Xi placed several exquisite carved wooden boxes on the table and said to Qing Gu, "Go and call Li Siniang."

Qinggu left, and Qingcan came over to help Qin Xiang wash and change clothes. When Li Siniang came, Qin Xiang was already having breakfast, a bowl of shredded chicken and rice soup, and two plates of side dishes.

"Madam, why are you calling Siniang?" Li Siniang asked directly after coming in and bowing. It's not that she doesn't respect Qin Xiang, but that she has a lot to do.

"Over there, I made a few boxes of hosta powder last night. Please go to the Jiuwang Mansion in person and say it's a return gift from us to thank Princess Yaoxiang for inviting her to Qifeng Mountain Villa."

Li Siniang looked over and saw that Qinggu had already picked up the four boxes on the table and handed them to Li Siniang.

Li Siniang felt the weight and asked, "Are all four boxes of fragrant powder?"

Qin Xiang said without raising her eyelids: "A box of hosta incense powder, a box of ointment, a box of hundred-carved seal incense for seal incense, and a box of five incense sticks."

"Madam, although these things are relatively common and cannot be obtained casually, but if you send them to the door of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, I'm afraid they will be rejected. How about adding a box of fragrant dew?"

"No, you don't have to worry about that much. You just need to give the things to the gatekeeper." Qin Xiang said listlessly: "I'm sleepy. Let's go and sleep for a while. If they don't accept it, don't pester them. Just turn around and leave quickly."

After she rinsed her mouth with water, she went back and got into the quilt that Qinggu had opened a long time ago. Qinggu hurriedly covered her with the quilt carefully.

Qingcan asked Li Siniang: "Sister Siniang, can you bring me something to eat when you come back? I heard that there is a time-honored pastry shop on Zizhu Street in the capital. The mung bean cake they make is very delicious."

Li Siniang wrapped the box in brocade and said with a smile: "Are you greedy? It's a pity that I won't go to Zizhu Street today. I'm afraid I won't be able to satisfy your appetite."

Qingcan walked to Li Siniang's side, stretched out his hand to hold Li Siniang's arm and swung it from side to side, begging coquettishly: "Sister Siniang, my good sister, just take a short detour and buy it for me, okay? I usually I don’t have time to go out. When I go out, I will definitely buy something for you and Bao’er.”

"I can't promise you now. I still don't know how the errands are going today?" Li Siniang is a cautious person. She never guarantees her words or actions in advance, for fear that she will be blamed if she fails.

"Hey, sister is so kind, you are my biological sister." Qingcan coquettishly, Li Siniang smiled, turned around and left with the wooden box.

Qing Gu came out and knocked on Qingcan who was looking outside in a daze: "Are you annoying Sister Siniang again? Why are you so greedy? You even asked Sister Siniang to make a special trip to buy snacks for you. You are really becoming more and more capable. ”

Even so, Qinggu did not blame Qingcan, and Qingcan also understood, but still took Qinggu's hand and explained: "Since Brother Da Zhuang died, Sister Siniang seems to have changed. I feel uncomfortable. Her emotions are as if she were a dummy."

"No, she had a fire to support herself before, but now she doesn't even have the fire." Qinggu also sighed and refuted Qingcan's words.

Qingcan also sighed: "I think if it weren't for Bao'er, Sister Four would probably not be able to survive."

Qinggu glanced at Qingcan and asked, "You just gave up on Mr. Qiao, will you be reluctant to let him go?"

Qingcan lowered his head and smiled: "Instead of becoming a couple complaining about each other in the future, it would be better to break off the relationship from the beginning. At least, there will not be so much unhappiness and resentment."

Qinggu reached out to hold Qingcan and patted her on the shoulder. "It's not easy for us women to live." Both of them thought of Qin Yan at the same time.

Hearing that Qin Xiang had gone to Xie's house, Liu and Qin Yaozu personally visited Qin Xiang's home.

Qin Xi told Qin Yan's situation, and when Qin Yaozu lowered his head and said nothing, Liu was surprised and said that she had not realized that Qin Yan was in such a difficult situation, and also talked about the scene when she went to Xie's house that day.

Qin Yan said with a smile: "My sister-in-law submitted the post in advance. Their family had already prepared it, so naturally they would not show too much in front of my sister-in-law. But I came to the door suddenly and went directly to sister Qin Yan's room, so I saw her." How shabby the house is!”

When the word "shabby" came up, Qin Yaozu finally raised his head and said to Qin Xi: "I am also responsible for this matter. I will go to the Xie family tomorrow and talk to the old man of the Xie family."

Mrs. Liu hesitated, glanced at Qin Yaozu twice, and asked hesitantly: "What are you going to ask the old man of the Xie family? Although he can be regarded as our brother-in-law, at this age and his status is much higher than you, you Go, I’m afraid it’s inappropriate!”

"This matter actually started with me. These mother's plans are all for me." Qin Yaozu wiped his face with his hands, wiped away the helplessness on his face, and said: "I don't care whether I have been punished by the Xie family or not. Help, but Qin Yan did suffer this crime because of me, and I cannot shirk responsibility."

When Qin Xi heard this, he was somewhat impressed by Qin Yaozu.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her husband, Ms. Liu hurriedly said to Qin Xi: "Actually, the Xie family has never had any contact with us. At first, my father and mother were deceived, and they only thought that the Xie family could take good care of us."

She glanced at Qin Yaozu and sighed: "He also has a stubborn temper. He doesn't want to rely on the Xie family, so he won't go to the Xie family."

It sounds like Qin Yaozu and Mrs. Qin Si are actually doing their own things, and they don't agree with each other's style of doing things.

In fact, when she went to see Mrs. Qin Si that day, Qin Xiang knew that Mrs. Liu showed respect for Mrs. Qin Si on the surface. In fact, there was probably a lot of unhappiness between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hidden in their hearts.

"It would be better for us women to come forward in this matter. As soon as you came forward, the matter became a bit serious. After all, she did not suffer unreasonable beatings and scoldings in the Xie family. It was just some conspiracy and tricks among the women in the back house." Qin Xiang knew that Mrs. Liu wanted her to persuade Qin Yaozu, and she was happy to give Mrs. Liu some face.

If she wants to establish herself in the capital, it will be a great convenience to have a sister-in-law from an official family to lead the way. Qin Xiang will never go against such a good thing.

Qin Xiang and Liu Shi persuaded Qin Yaozu together, and he promised to ignore the matter for the time being.

However, Qin Yan said one thing: "Sister Qin Yan only has a maid named Xiaocai to serve her. I think Xiaocai is too active in her mind, but sister Qin Yan likes to be quiet. It's better to ask her sister-in-law to serve Qin Yan." Sister Yan chooses two capable maids and women to go there, at least there will be two more people around her to bring tea and water, so the room will not be so deserted."

"Okay, okay, leave this matter to me. I will make arrangements when I get back. Don't worry, the person I call will definitely be honest and responsible." Mrs. Liu agreed hastily.

Qin Xiang noticed that Qin Yaozu's face was not good, and he pursed his lips tightly without saying a word. After a while, he said he wanted to leave.

After the couple left, Li Siniang asked Qin Xiang: "Does our uncle really want to go to Xie's house or is he just pretending?"

"Who knows, maybe he is just putting on a show in front of me. However, if he dares to put on a show, I will continue to watch the show." Qin Xiang said with a faint smile.

"Madam, the shopkeeper sent someone to ask Madam." Qinggu came in and told Qin Xiang: "That Lu Xiangyin is always asking how things are going in the shop?"

Qin Xiang said: "Just say that I will go to the shop tomorrow and let Lu Xiangyin talk to me tomorrow."
