Zhong was probably afraid that she would regret it.
Qin Xiangxiang walked out of the main courtyard and saw Hongxiu and Tianxiang each holding a bundle and standing in the corridor looking at her. Their faces were obviously angry, but they still expressed their respect to Qin Xiangxiang.
Mrs. Zhong must have told them that she was going to sell herself into a contract.
Qin Xiangxiang didn't care. He looked at the two of them and said leisurely: "From now on, you will be my personal maids. I have nothing to do today. After settling down, just follow me to the shop."
Hongxiu blurted out: "Madam, won't you move to the main courtyard?" The implication is that Madam's small and shabby courtyard can accommodate the two of them, who are so noble and noble?
Qin Xiangxiang looked at her: "I will marry into the Zhou family in a few days, so don't bother."
Hey, it's true that mud can't hold up the wall. Where Qin Xiangxiang couldn't see them, Hongxiu and Tianxiang curled their lips secretly. Even if she gets married in a few days, she still has to move to the main courtyard to enjoy a few good days. Who knows if I will have such a big yard to live in after marrying into the Zhou family. They have been with Qin Guanlan for many years, and they probably know the Zhou family better than Qin Xiangxiang. The Zhou family was a scholarly family. They read a lot and had many children. Zhou Xu was already the grandson of the seventh family. I heard that the courtyard where the Zhou family entered was crowded with people, and there were people everywhere they went.
The two of them were about to put down their luggage in Qin Xiangxiang's small yard when they saw Mrs. Wang leading a group of people in respectfully. The leaders looked particularly familiar.
Isn't that Zhong's natal family?
Walking in front were not only Zhong's two brothers, Zhong Youxiang and Zhong Youzhi, but behind were her two sisters-in-law, and behind them, Zhong's nephew.
Qin Xiangxiang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang has served Mrs. Zhong for more than ten years and is Zhong's right-hand assistant. She originally thought that Mrs. Zhong would take Mrs. Wang away, but unexpectedly she kept Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang took two steps and said in Qin Xiangxiang's ear: "Madam, come and see the uncle and aunt of the Zhong family."
Qin Xiangxiang didn't even bother to raise his eyebrows: "Mother Wang, what's going on?"
Her voice wasn't even muffled.
Mrs. Wang curled her lips before speaking. The eldest lady shouldn't think that once the mistress leaves, she will be the sole leader in the Qin family.
Mrs. Wang said: "It's only a few days since the eldest lady's auspicious day. The master and his wife are not at home, and there are no elders in the family to preside over the wedding. Madam is very thoughtful and is afraid that the eldest lady will be wronged, so she specially invited her maternal uncle and aunt to come and sit in charge of the eldest lady. support."
Huh, support? Zhong was probably afraid that she would run away.
Qin Xiangxiang didn't have much contact with the Zhong family, but she remembered that every time they met, the Zhong family looked at her with disdain.
Qin Xiangxiang's reaction was somewhat beyond Mrs. Wang's expectations. She looked at Qin Xiangxiang nervously, fearing that she would make some inappropriate actions.
Qin Xiangxiang smiled brightly and saluted the Zhong family: "Welcome the Zhong family relatives to visit the Qin family. The red sleeves add fragrance, why don't you go make tea and entertain the guests?"
Zhong Youxiang and Zhong Youzhi were stunned. Previously, they heard from their younger sister Zhong that her stepdaughter dared not say a word on weekdays. She only huddled in her small yard every day. She didn't dare to tell Qin Guanlan if she didn't give her anything, so they ordered a medicine jar for her. My fiancé doesn’t cry or make trouble. But now that my sister has just stepped forward, this stepdaughter has revealed her true colors?
No wonder my sister specially invited them to stay with the Qin parents.
This is to ask them to discipline Qin Xiangxiang.
They are men and it is not easy for them to be a little girl. Zhong Youxiang immediately glanced at his wife Wu Jiayi.
Before Wu Jiayi got married, she was famous among her neighbors for her fierce temper. Other families were avoiding him because they didn't want to bring this tigress back home and make the dogs and chickens uneasy. But Zhong Youxiang was just the opposite. He felt that if he brought such a woman back home, others would not dare to bully his family.
So Zhong Youxiang married Wu Jiayi.
Wu Jiayi's face was covered with several layers of powder, but it couldn't hide the rich freckles on her face. She was wearing a newly made spring shirt, probably because she was going out. She didn't dare to put jewelry on her temples. Instead, she wore a hairpin according to etiquette. A few flowers. She looked Qin Xiangxiang up and down, her face was full of meanness: "The eldest lady of the Qin family, it seems that she lacks some education. Now that the flowering season is approaching, how can she get married in such a hurry? My sister is kind-hearted, so special Please let us teach you, Madam, so as not to disgrace the Qin family."
Qin Xiangxiang looked at her quietly.
Hongxiu and Tianxiang, who were standing behind her, remained silent. Although Qin Xiang wanted to hold their prostitution contracts in his hands, so what, they had no need to conflict with the Zhong family.
Just when Wu Jiayi felt that she had taken advantage of Qin Xiangxiang, Qin Xiangxiang smiled and said, "I am not educated, so I am not suitable for getting married. In this case, I can only write books to the Zhou family, saying that I must be with the Zhong family." Only with permission can I get married."
"You!" Wu Jiayi was so angry that the powder on her face fell off, and the freckles on her face became more and more obvious.
Qin Xiangxiang added: "Since you don't want to use tea, I will resign. The wedding is coming soon and there are no elders in the family to host it, so I am still very busy. You probably don't want to delay my wedding."
Hongxiu couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter.
In the past, she felt that Qin Xiangxiang was not competitive and had a boring temper, so she didn't like him very much. But now I realize that the eldest lady actually has such a face.
When Zhong Youxiang saw his wife defeated, he immediately shouted: "I am your elder!"
Qin Xiangxiang was too lazy to pay attention to him, turned and left. Hongxiu and Tianxiang followed quickly.
Mrs. Wang was sweating profusely: "This lady may have been stimulated!"
Zhong Youzhi is a bit more stable than his elder brother: "Brother, don't worry, the days are long."
Qin Xiangxiang was not favored to begin with, and there were only two girls around him. If they tried to force her, could Qin Xiangxiang resist?
Not long after Qin Xiangxiang led Hongxiu and Tianxiang back to the yard, Xu's mother came back.
Mother Xu's eyes turned red: "Madam, is there something wrong?" She didn't expect that something like this would happen to the Qin family just half a month after she returned home.
Mother Xu was Qin Xiangxiang's wet nurse and she had taken Qin Xiangxiang with her since she was a child. Qin Guanlan still had some conscience and did not let Mother Xu leave Qin Xiangxiang.
Qin Xiangxiang asked: "Mother Xu, where is my dowry shop? I want to see it."
Mother Xu looked a little embarrassed: "This..."
"Mother Xu, just tell the truth."
Mother Xu gritted her teeth: "Madam, you are cruel, how can that shop be called a good shop? It is just a foot shop, and there was a murder case a few years ago. It has been vacant for several years and has not been rented out. From now on, the eldest lady will take over. There's no way to run it." The existence of that foot shop is like useless.
When Mrs. Zhong decided on Qin Xiangxiang's dowry shop at the beginning, she went to see it and was furious. But as an old slave, how could it be easy to seek justice for the eldest lady? She stuffed some money into the old man's attendant, Yang Dagui, and wanted to see the old man, but Yang Dagui only took the money and did nothing. At that time, I thought that the future would be long, but as time went by, things happened in the Qin family.
"Also, the lady said that the dowry was one hundred dollars, but she just said that she did not give the silver note to the old slave..."
Mother Xu almost gritted her teeth.
In other words, her Qin Xiangxiang's dowry contained nothing but the furniture in the warehouse.
Hong Xiu said coolly from the side: "Could it be that the Zhong family held the banknotes in their hands?"
This is also possible.
Qin Xiangxiang didn't care much about the one hundred dollars: "I want to go to the foot shop. Even if I have a lot of money, I will have nothing but nothing. But if I run the shop well and keep the water flowing, I will definitely be able to live a good life."
Mrs. Qin is very optimistic. I'm afraid I've never run a foot shop before. For a foot shop like that, it's pretty good to make two bucks a year.
But since the master wanted to go see it, the servant couldn't stop him, so he had no choice but to follow the master. Today's Qin family does not have to match cards to go out like before. Hongxiu and Tianxiang are also happy to go out and hang out.
"What? Li Gou is dead?" Mu Ting frowned. Impossible. They had clearly measured their actions that day and would never hurt Li Gou's vitals.
