Chapter 109: The Zhang Family
The reason why Qin Xun dared to provoke this woman was naturally because he knew her.
This woman's surname is Zhang Mingwei, and she is the granddaughter of the old lady of the Zhang family. married into the third room of the Qin family, if you want to count, she is Qin Xun's sister-in-law.
This woman relied on the power of the Zhang family and wanted to be powerful in the Qin family, but unfortunately she couldn't do so, so her temper was even more eccentric, and her husband Qin Xian was even more willing to sleep with the maid and not touch her, so that Zhang Wei couldn't see the love and harmony of other husbands and wives.
In her previous life, Qin Xun also suffered a lot of losses from this woman, but after Qin Xun figured out her temperament, she never let Zhang Wei ask for benefits.
Unexpectedly, when she came to Dancheng again, she was the first to jump out, and it seems that she is really fateful.
Qin Xun walked to the hospitality hall in a good mood, and there were already many noble ladies and their maids and daughters-in-law sitting inside.
The little maid led the person to the middle position and sat down, and someone immediately stepped forward to place refreshments, tea, etc., and the maid and servant of the Lu family did things in a very orderly manner, and their movements were also fast and careful.
You can see the master's character by watching the servants do things, and Lu Jiu's mother is definitely not a simple character.
It's just that why did she let Lu Jiu still not marry in his twenties, and he still had such a reputation? This is a bit puzzling.
Of course, Qin Xun just thought about it casually, and then looked at the people around him.
It's still early, and not many people come; There were no people sitting on either side of Qin Xun, and there were a few noble ladies sitting opposite who were chatting happily, and when they saw her looking over, they also smiled at her, and then looked away.
But they couldn't help but glance at Qin Xun when they were talking, and Qin Xun understood that they were probably talking about topics related to themselves.
The little maid came over, saluted Qin Xun, and respectfully said that their wife was invited.
Qin Xun asked, "But the wife of the Lu family wants to see me?" ”
The other party replied: "Yes, my wife is waiting for Mrs. Xiao." ”
If you come, you will be safe, whether it is the wife of the Lu family who wants to see it or not, Qin Xun is not afraid.
She got up calmly, touched the hairpin on her head with her hand, and said lightly: "Lead the way." ”
The little maid nodded hurriedly, turned around and walked forward, but muttered in her heart: It is said that this Second Mrs. Xiao is from the countryside, but looking at this bearing, she is not much weaker than her own wife?
As soon as Qin Xun left, several noble ladies on the opposite side let go of their voices and became unscrupulous.
"I heard that this daughter of the Qin family's outer chamber is like a nouveau riche, and when she comes to Dancheng, she looks like an ignorant person, and she buys hundreds of taels of silver in one go, and she doesn't know where she got so much silver to squander?"
These women are not very old, they are probably not in charge of the house, and they do not have much money in their hands, who would dare to go out on the street and squander it like this? Even if you use your dowry, you will be scolded by your in-laws and husband when you go home.
Therefore, these people are disdainful on their faces, but they are actually somewhat envious.
"Could it be that the fourth master of Qin subsidized the silver to her?" There is speculation again.
"Impossible, Fourth Master Qin is not so generous, not to mention, he has many daughters, how can he be so generous?"
"Maybe this woman has a way to make Fourth Master Xiao happy?"
"Even if she is given how much money she has, there is no calculation to live, I am afraid that the future will be sad!"
Everyone continued to talk and laugh, and Qin Xun naturally didn't know.
She took Qingcang and Qinggu to an antique house, and the wife of the Lu family was instructing her subordinates to do things, and when she saw her coming, she hurriedly asked people to go down.
"Come, come over and let me see, what kind of person can make such incense ingots?" Mrs. Lu and Lu Jiu are seven points similar, and she is a rare beauty.
And she smiled when she saw people, and she spoke wittily, which made Qin Xun immediately feel a little more good, and she also stepped forward to say a few words.
After the greetings, Mrs. Lu didn't have time to chat, so she said: "I didn't have time to call you over to talk alone, but after today, let's find a chance to chat." ”
"I called you because I heard that Second Mrs. Xiao was wronged in my house, and I was afraid that Second Mrs. Xiao would feel uncomfortable and wanted to call you over to talk."
"I'm fine, I'm just causing trouble to Mrs. Lu, please bear with me." Qin Xun smiled gently and decently, how could he have the powerful appearance of the mother-in-law who came to report just now.
Of course, Mrs. Lu, who has the ability to see people talk nonsense and see people talk to people, is also well versed in this, and she doesn't think it's unusual.
Mrs. Lu only talked about the origin of the woman at this time, although Qin Xun knew, she would not reveal it.
"Speaking of which, she is still your cousin-in-law, if you recognize the Qin family, you will have to come and go, this person's temper is not very good, and her grandmother is an old lady of the Zhang family, how many people don't like her, but they have to endure a little."
Mrs. Lu also kindly reminded Qin Xun that she didn't understand, so she sincerely thanked her.
But he didn't want to continue talking about Zhang Wei, so he changed the topic and asked, "What is the origin of this old lady?" ”
Qin Xun knew Mrs. Zhang, but she didn't know very well, and it would be better if she could know more.
"Mrs. Zhang used to be one of the nurses when she was young, and she got the eyes of the Queen Mother and pointed to the Zhang family."
"Since she is a nurse, she should be married and have children, why do you want the queen mother to marry?"
"She was originally the maid of the Queen Mother when she was in her mother's house, because she was older, the Queen Mother married her to Mrs. Zhang, who was a petty official in the capital, when she entered the palace.
The queen mother gave birth to Jinshang, looked for a nurse everywhere, and later recruited Mrs. Zhang, who had just given birth to a child, into the palace. After another two years, for some reason, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang came back to Dancheng together.
However, every year during the Chinese New Year, the palace will still send some rewards to the Zhang family. Especially after ascending the throne today, the Zhang family is the first in this Dancheng, and even the adults in the government are cautious when facing the Zhang family, and they dare not offend the Zhang family. ”
After Qin Xun heard this, he bowed his head slightly to indicate that he understood, and saw that the wife of the Lu family wanted to speak and stopped, and there seemed to be worry in her eyes, so she smiled and said: "Mrs., don't worry, I have my own way to deal with her." ”
"That's good!" Mrs. Lu smiled, took Qin Xun's hand and got up, walked out together, and said, "I'm just giving you a reminder, but you don't need to be afraid of her." Zhang Wei is just the daughter of the Zhang family, and my Lu family will not be afraid of the Zhang family. Besides, since thou art a guest whom I have invited, how can thou be angry and humiliated in my house? ”
"Thank you, Mrs. Lu!" Since they wanted her to appreciate it, they took it.
Qin Xun has long been unable to understand the relationship with the Lu family, but he originally chose the Lu family's incense shop as the object of cooperation, who can say that Qin Xun did not deliberately cling to the Lu family?
Mrs. Lu took Qin Xun's hand and walked into the hall together, and many people had already come at this time, all of them were wives and grandmothers with their daughters.
The room is full of beautiful women and the fragrance of fat powder, which is a little more beautiful than the flowers outside the window.
Qin Xun was held by Mrs. Lu's hand, and after greeting everyone a few words, she introduced Qin Xun again, only saying that she was her friend, and everyone could call her Mrs. Xiao.
Countless eyes stopped on Qin Coward's body, all of which were extremely complicated.
After the introduction, Qin Xun took the initiative to go back to his previous position and sit down.
