At dawn, the family got up one after another.

Last night, Xiao Chenyu told Qin Xun about the need for relief and care for several elderly people and children in Xiaojia Village, and Qin Xun felt that it was nothing.

So after the husband and wife went to see the Su family and came back, Qin Xun found Li Siniang to talk about the matter and gave her full authority to arrange it.

After breakfast, Ma Hui was brought by Qingcan, Xiao Chenyu told Qin Xun that he was going to the study, got up and left.

Ma Hui doesn't know how to behave, and Qin Xun doesn't treat her as a subordinate, so she doesn't pick on her.

Pointing to the chair next to him, he said politely, "Miss Ma, please take a seat!" ”

Ma Hui sat down with some restraint and smiled stiffly at Qin Qian.

"You came back too late yesterday, and I didn't have time to talk to you, so don't blame us for being inconsiderate."

"No, it's not." Ma Hui waved her hand helplessly and said, "Madam, don't say that, Mrs., I'm not a guest, but the second master bought it with silver." ”

Qin Xun's eyebrows raised: "The second master didn't say that, he only said that you are going to marry Liu Xi's girl, as Liu Xi's brother and sister-in-law, we naturally have to be extra good to you." ”

"Although Liu Xi is not our blood brother, after all, he grew up with our second master, and his affection is naturally not bad."

Ma Hui stood up, her face flushed: "Madam, I was rescued by the second master that day, so I want to repay the favor and beg my wife to keep me, I will work hard and repay my wife well." ”

"Mrs. Zhengtou, you don't want to do it, but you'd rather be slaves for us, what do you think?" Qin Xun smiled faintly, and there was no trace of threat and pressure in her tone, as if she was sincerely asking someone to solve her doubts.

Li Siniang, Qing Cang, and Qing Gu, who were waiting on the side, all had a bad feeling in their hearts, and the fact that Mrs. spoke so calmly meant that she was angry.

Ma Hui knelt down, lowered her head and wept silently, but stopped talking.

Qin Xun didn't urge, let alone call her up, and the room was so quiet that it could be heard for a while.

When she saw Xiao Chenyu in the rain, it was Ma Hui's most desperate time, at that moment, she was about to break free from her father, so she hit the pillar next to her, she only wanted to die, and she didn't want to go to such a place.

Then, at that moment, Xiao Chenyu appeared.

The man was dressed in a cloak and holding an umbrella, and he stood quietly on the long street, in the rain.

In the end, Xiao Chenyu left, she burst out with great strength to break free from her father, and ran towards the man, she was desperate to hold his legs, at that moment, she thought, if he broke free of herself, then, she would die immediately.

Later, when she entered the gate of the Qin family, Liu Xi said that she wanted her to stay, and she was moved, but the silver was still given by the man.

He is the second master of these people, and he has a temperament that he can't describe, in short, in those days, he ate his own food, drank his own boiled water, and wore his own washed clothes, Ma Hui was extremely happy in his heart.

She is like a child, the first time she has something she likes, she wants to keep it for herself forever, and it is good to look at it every day.

Everyone said that she was Liu Xi's person and would marry Liu Xi, Liu Xi was very good to her, but what if she was good?

She inquired, Liu Xi didn't even have a home, and still lived in the second master's house.

Last night, she saw Xiao Chenyu's wife, and immediately knew that she would never be able to compare to her.

After seeing the Qin family's wealth, she thought about it for a long time and couldn't make up her mind. In the end, I went to find Liu Xi.

She asked Liu Xi: "If you get married, will you still live in the Qin family?" ”

Liu Xi replied: "Naturally not, it doesn't matter if I live alone in my second brother and sister-in-law's house now, I naturally have to go out to live when I become a relative." ”

"Do you have the money to buy a house?"

“.” Liu Xi couldn't answer.

"How much money do you receive in Yamen a month?" Ma Hui asked again.

Liu Xi already understood what Ma Hui meant, and waited for a long time before saying, "If you don't want to marry me, I won't force you, as for the money given to your father, I will do good deeds." ”

Thinking of this, Ma Hui was still a little uncomfortable, she didn't know if her choice was right, but she was really scared.

If it weren't for the silver, why would she suffer the fate of being sold by her relatives.

Therefore, let her follow Liu Xi, a small official of the yamen, with a trivial salary, and then rely on the snort of the second master and his wife to live, it is better to stay and be a maid, and listen to Qingcan, at least one or two silver a month. After working for a few years, she can save enough money to repay the silver, and then the money she earns is all her own, isn't it better than following Liu Xi to live a hard life?

Thinking of this, Ma Hui raised his head and told Qin Xun his thoughts.

Qin Xun looked at her eyes fixedly, and then waved his hand to let everyone go down.

When there were only two people in the room, Qin Xun asked, "Do you have thoughts about the second master that you shouldn't have?" ”

Ma Hui looked at Qin Xun and replied calmly: "Before I met my wife, I did have thoughts that I shouldn't have, after all, such a graceful man still appeared when I was most desperate and depressed, I couldn't be a little tempted and didn't want to rely on him." ”

Qin Xun raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect this girl to be so frank, but she was a little interested, so she raised her chin again and motioned for her to continue.

"However, from the moment I saw my wife last night, I knew it was a delusion. Even if I am fortunate enough to become the second master's concubine, it is impossible to get the second master's heart. And he offended his wife. ”

"You're smart!" Qin Xun said noncommittally: "Get up!" ”

"Yes, ma'am!" Ma Hui learned the salutation and tone of Qingcang and others, and was very respectful.

"You don't have to rush to make a decision, I'll give you two days to think about it." Qin Xun admires her courage and honesty, although in the eyes of outsiders, she seems utilitarian and powerful, even if Liu Xi is Xiao Chenyu's brother, she doesn't feel that it is her choice.

However, if her mother was as calm and ruthless as Ma Hui, and dared to fight and fight desperately, maybe her life would be different?

Two days later, Ma Hui told Qin Xun again that she was not married, and she was going to follow Qin Xun to do things.

However, Ma Hui didn't know how to serve people at all, so Qin Xun sent her to Su's incense shop as an apprentice.

"I'll give you a chance, start as an apprentice, if you can do well, the future Su's incense shop may not be able to have a female shopkeeper."

This can be said to be a piece of fragrant dumplings hanging in front of Ma Hui's eyes, or it can be said to be a promise given, how to understand and how to do it, it depends on Ma Hui.

Ordinary women don't like to show up and do business in the store, but Ma Hui has already let it go, she only thinks this is a chance to be reborn.

Qin Shao and Sun Donghai never came back, and sent someone back with a letter, saying that Qin Xiongfei's physical condition was recurring, and they decided to serve their father first.

In addition, Sun Donghai's aunt, Mrs. Qin's second wife, finally relented, and was dissatisfied when she heard that they were borrowing Qin Xun's house; I also heard that Sun Donghai was actually taking a class with a Taoist priest who had no teaching experience, so the second wife was so angry that she refused to let go.

No matter how angry the second wife is, she will not make concessions to Sun Donghai's studies, this is the only person in her mother's family who can give her a long face.
