Li Guiqin did have relatives.
But after Nan Dongbei and Li Guiqin got married, Li Guiqin's relatives often used Li Guiqin's name to ask for money from the marquis's estate.
In the beginning, Nan Dongbei thought that he didn't have many relatives, so he treated Li Guiqin's relatives as his own. He tried his best to fulfill their requests.
But he soon realized that a man's heart was never content.
Those people's demands became higher and higher, and if he didn't fulfill their requests within the time limit, their previous gratitude would turn into resentment. They would even constantly criticize him, saying that he didn't recognize them as his poor relatives because of his little power.
But they never thought that strictly speaking, they weren't Nan Dongbei's relatives.
Nan Dongbei's original intention was to help his relatives as much as he could, but he didn't expect to end up like this. In the end, he simply stopped helping.
Those people came to make trouble a few times, and Nan Dongbei directly asked the officials to chase them away. Only then did the matter come to an end.
Li Guiqin was also sad for a while because of this, and began to distance herself from her maternal family.
Except for the New Year and other festivals, she wouldn't meet them if she could.
Although they would say that she looked down on her poor relatives, so be it.
It was better than helping someone and not being able to do anything.
Nan Xi's branch could be said to have the best relationship with Nan Dongbei's relatives.
Because Li Guiqin didn't have many relatives, she attached great importance to Nan Xi. Today's dishes were all personally cooked by her.
Hearing her daughter praise her, Li Guiqin beamed with joy. She pinched Jiujiu's cheek and said with a smile, "You have a sweet mouth."
When Nan Xi and Yang Xian came in, they saw Jiujiu's cute and obedient appearance to Li Guiqin.
When they saw Jiujiu in the afternoon, Jiujiu's face was as cold as ice, and she didn't give him any face.
Yang Xian thought that Jiujiu's nature was like that.
At this moment, seeing Jiujiu's smiling face, which was even more moving than her frosty appearance in the afternoon, Yang Xian was a little dazed again.
However, Nan Xi was standing beside Yang Xian. Seeing that Yang Xian was obviously mesmerized by Jiujiu, she used her sleeve to cover it and pinched Yang Xian's waist. Only then did Yang Xian regain his senses, so that he wouldn't be rude again.
Yang Xian, who was brought back to his senses by the pain, immediately put on his usual elegant manner and cupped his hands together, "Hello, aunt.
. "After greeting Li, Yang Xian looked at Jiujiu again, with his eyes full of affection," Hello, Younger Sister. "

Yang Xian understood Bi Lian. He knew that Bi Lian cared a lot about her reputation, so he never thought that the person serving Jiujiu tonight would be Bi Lian.
When he saw Bi Lian, Yang Xian's''s''s''s''s''s''s' ', but when he thought of his own intentions, he turned his head away and pretended not to notice Bi Lian's gaze.
Although this was the marquis's estate, Nan Dongbei and Li Guiqin didn't pay much attention to etiquette. Now that everyone was present, they sat down to eat.
During the meal, Nan Xi naturally wouldn't let go of the chance to boast about Yang Xian. She smiled and told Nan Dongbei and Li Guiqin how hard Yang Xian studied, and how hard Yang Xian worked to help her husband manage his business. In short, in Nan Xi's' ', Yang Xian was an all-rounder. There was nothing he couldn't do.
Nan Dongbei and Li Guiqin looked at Yang Xian in amazement. They were clearly moved by Nan Xi's' 'description of the capable and considerate Yang Xian, who was filial to his parents.
If they continued to be brainwashed by Nan Xi for a few more days, Nan Dongbei and Li Guiqin would want to marry their daughter to Yang Xian even without her saying anything.
Jiujiu couldn't be bothered with Nan Xi boasting about Yang Xian, but it wouldn't be good if she persuaded Nan Dongbei and Li Guiqin to marry Yang Xian.
Jiujiu smiled and looked at Nan Xi, "I heard from Father that cousin's first teacher was Uncle Han?"
Ju Ren Han was a High Scholar from the county town. He used to have the same teacher as Nan Dongbei, but the difference was that Nan Dongbei's family was wealthy, while Ju Ren Han's family was poor. Back then, his family was so poor that they didn't even have food to eat. It was Nan Dongbei who didn't hesitate to send rice, noodles, and money to help his family tide over their difficulties.
Later on, when he became a High Scholar, he didn't forget Nan Dongbei's kindness. Every year, he would bring his entire family to visit him. Nan Xiang had a good relationship with Ju Ren Han's children.
Back then, Nan Dongbei had wanted to marry Nan Xiang to Ju Ren Han's son, but Ju Ren Han's son had already arranged a child betrothal, so he could only give up.
It was because of this relationship that Ju Ren Han was willing to enlighten Yang Xian.
Hearing Jiujiu ask about Yang Xian's first teacher, Nan Xi and Yang Xian didn't know what Jiujiu meant, but they still answered carefully, "It was Ju Ren Han who enlightened Yang Xian."
"Is that so ~" Jiujiu put down her chopsticks and gently poked her cheeks. A small dimple appeared on her cheeks. Coupled with her puzzled expression, she looked both playful and cute.
"Uncle Han is very talented. If cousin was enlightened by him and studied so hard, how could he still be a High Scholar?" Jiujiu looked at Nan Dongbei with a puzzled expression, "Uncle Han always says that he's stupid, but he's already a High Scholar. Cousin is so smart and hardworking, but he still can't become a High Scholar. It's really strange."
When Nan Xi praised Yang Xian, she couldn't wait to use all the best words in the world to describe Yang Xian.
In her words, Yang Xian was very talented and hardworking. He was simply a peerless man who couldn't be found anywhere else in the world.
Such a good man, no matter where he went, should be favored by all the outstanding women.
Thus, Nan Dongbei and Li Guiqin kept nodding in amazement.
At this moment, Jiujiu's sudden question gave Nan Dongbei and Li Guiqin more time to think.
Then, they quickly discovered the flaw in Nan Xi's words.
If Yang Xian was really as outstanding as she said, how could he still be a High Scholar?
Nan Xi had bragged too much. Now that Jiujiu had exposed her, she was instantly tongue-tied. She didn't know how to explain that Yang Xian was still a High Scholar.
Nan Xi was instantly silenced, and Yang Xian lowered his head in silence.
Although Nan Dongbei was honest, he had been to the capital several times and had seen the officials flattering each other. He instantly realized that Nan Xi was bragging.
Nan Dongbei's expression darkened, and he immediately thought of something bad. He laughed and said, "It must be because he was busy with business that he neglected his studies."
Nan Dongbei glanced at Jiujiu, warning her not to spout nonsense. Then, he smiled and changed the topic.
Li Guiqin also quickly reacted and followed Nan Dongbei's words.
Nan Xi had originally wanted to brag about Yang Xian and then take the opportunity to bring up Jiujiu and Yang Xian's marriage. After being exposed by Jiujiu, she felt a little embarrassed. Moreover, she was worried that Jiujiu would say something that she couldn't answer, so she stopped talking about Yang Xian.
