Chapter 344 Reunion

Qin Huiyin smiled and said, "Brother Qibin, Brother Jinyuan, why are you here?"

"It's because someone calculated that you would arrive by then, so he called us to guard the gate half a month in advance. Today it's Jin Yuan and I's turn. If it were tomorrow, you would see Qing Nan and Er Zhu. If they came yesterday, it would be Chen Yong and Song Yu Heng." Jiang Qibin said, "Sister Hui Yin, the boss is waiting anxiously, let's go to the Song residence!"

"My dear masters, our master sent us to guard the place half a month in advance. We have been here every day, waiting for you to come." The housekeeper said bitterly, "If our master knew that we didn't take you back, I'm afraid he would blame me. I just became the housekeeper, and I really don't want to lose my job."

"Brother Qibin, my brother is still on duty and hasn't come back yet. Let me go back to the Tang residence with everyone and then go to see my brother in the evening." Qin Huiyin said.

"Sister Huiyin, the boss has been coming home very early every day recently. If he knew you were back but didn't see you the first time, he would probably be sad." Zhou Jinyuan said.

"Oh my, I really envy some people who have two brothers fighting for them!" Xia Ruwan joked. "How about this, let's go back to the Tang residence first, you go with them! After all, I still have to spend time looking for a broker and decide on the house I want to live in!"

The old housekeeper said, "Young lady, you are from the Xia family, right? Our masters said that you and the second young lady are like sisters, so it would be better for you to live close to each other, so we have rented the house opposite. Miss Xia can go and take a look first, and if you are satisfied, you can move in directly. The yard has been cleaned, so you can move in directly."

"Yinyin, you are such a considerate brother." Xia Ruwan said, "Then let's go first, you go to the Song family and take a look."

Qin Huiyin nodded and waited for the old butler to leave with the others before she got on the carriage arranged by the Song family and headed to the Song residence.

On the way, Jiang Qibin introduced the situation of the capital to Qin Huiyin. The inner city was the residence of high-ranking officials, either with titles or those who had made great contributions. In short, the residences over there were all the residences of high-ranking officials, where aristocratic families and royal relatives gathered.

"Ordinary officials also have to rent or buy houses. Our boss is currently working in the Military Department, and is a sixth-rank official. Although his position is not high, his power is quite broad. With the boss's financial resources, he could have bought a bigger house, but in order not to attract attention, he can only buy a small house. Sister Huiyin, you will know when you go in and take a look. Although the house is not big, every detail is arranged according to your preferences..."

"Didn't Lord Wen say before that he would be sent to the Ministry of Industry? Why did he go to the Military Department? The Military Department is a military position, right? Doesn't a military position mean fighting and killing people?"

Jiang Qibin touched his head and said, "Sister Huiyin's focus is really different."

"Of course. Sister Huiyin is concerned about the safety of the boss, which is of course different from what you are concerned about." Zhou Jinyuan said, "Do you think everyone cares about the status of the official position?"

"That's because Huiyin's other brother is a fifth-rank official!" Jiang Qibin muttered, "How could our boss lose to him?"

"They are all my brothers, and I care more about whether they are living well and safe. I haven't seen them for more than two years, my brother must be very tired! Otherwise, he wouldn't have sought a sixth-rank official position. You know, in the county, a fifth-rank official position is equivalent to a county magistrate, and that is the head of a county."

"If the boss is willing to compromise, he can be promoted to a higher position, not to mention the fifth rank." Jiang Qibin muttered, "Who made the boss so stubborn?"

"You talk too much." Zhou Jinyuan was unhappy. "If the boss knew, he would definitely not let you go."

Jiang Qibin immediately begged for mercy: "I am a chatterbox. I was so happy to see Huiyin that I said a few more words."

"I'm very curious, what exactly could have allowed my brother to be promoted so quickly?" Qin Huiyin looked at Jiang Qibin, "Brother Qibin, tell me."

"There was a person who took a fancy to the boss and offered himself to him. That person was extremely powerful and with just a word from her, the boss could rise to a higher position. But the boss didn't want to do it and was almost suppressed to the point where he couldn't even survive in the capital. Later, the military department was recruiting people and the boss was appreciated by the commander-in-chief of the military department. He started as a soldier and was promoted several levels within a year. Now he is the commander of the military department. It was not easy for the boss to live in the capital, but he never thought of taking shortcuts and fought his way out with his own abilities."

Qin Huiyin felt distressed.

Jiang Qibin had only come six months earlier than her, and she had heard many things from others. But based on these few casual words, she could already imagine the hardships Song Ruize had gone through.

"Sister Huiyin, don't listen to his nonsense." Zhou Jinyuan said, "You know the boss's temper. He hates others controlling him the most, so he won't be manipulated by others."

"We're here." Jiang Qibin said, "This is where the boss lives. Although it's not in the inner city, it's still quite close to it."

Qin Huiyin looked around and found it quite quiet here.

"The courtyards nearby are mostly the villas of high-ranking officials and nobles. Occasionally, people come in and out, but most of the time, only servants are there to clean, so it's quite quiet."

"Did my brother rent it, or did he buy it himself?"

"Bought it." Jiang Qibin said as he knocked on the door.

The door opened and a servant appeared.

"Look carefully, this is Miss Qin, our eldest daughter." Jiang Qibin said, "This is our master's beloved sister, we cannot neglect her."

"Greetings, young lady." The servant bowed quickly.

Qin Huiyin nodded, took out a purse and handed it to Jiang Qibin: "I don't know how many people there are in the mansion, you can give it as you see fit!"

"Sister Huiyin, they are all slaves bought by the boss, so you don't have to be so polite." Jiang Qibin said this, and then said to the servant, "Call the housekeeper out."

When the butler came, he handed the purse to the butler and asked him to take it away as a reward.

The butler was also a smart man and he immediately called out all the servants.

The house was not big, with three courtyards, and there were only a dozen servants inside and outside the house.

Jiang Qibin lowered his voice and said, "This is where the boss lives. We live in another house. There are a little more people there. We will go there to discuss things if there is anything."

This means that this is where Song Ruize lives to hide his identity. After all, the commander of the military division is an important position, and there are always people watching, so there are many things that cannot be done in public.

The servants recognized the person and knew who their master would be serving in the future. The housekeeper showed them the reward in front of Qin Huiyin.

When the golden leaves appeared, everyone was stunned.

Generally, wealthy families would give some silver coins for reward, and even aristocratic families rarely give gold coins directly. Now it seems that their eldest daughter is very wealthy.

Jiang Qibin was also drooling beside him.

Zhou Jinyuan said unhappily, "Look at your lack of ability. Does the boss need you?"
