Chapter 112 Twins

Song Xiu said maliciously, "Your uncle wrote to me and said that the examination hall caught fire, and the news spread everywhere. A man who should have died long ago, the King of Hell forgot about him for a while, but now he remembers him again?"

Sanlang didn't understand what Song Xiu meant.

But he really didn't like his aunt's expression at that moment.

It seemed as if he was certain that his elder brother was dead.

Just as he was about to argue with Song Xiu, Erlang came over and pulled him away. When they were far away, he whispered, "Don't talk to that crazy woman. You can't trust her words."

"But my uncle said there was a fire in the examination room."

Sanlang hung his head, as if he was about to cry, "Second brother, has something happened to my eldest brother?"

Erlang was also a teenager and was equally worried.

The adults in the yard also looked unhappy when they saw this.

Qin Chi didn’t know yet whether anything had happened, but his wife was frightened first.

Doctor Jing first took Li's pulse, wrote out a prescription and then turned to Song Jin.

Just then he came out of the house.

He was suddenly surrounded by the Qin family.

Old Man Qin asked: "Doctor Jing, how is my granddaughter-in-law? Is there any problem with the child?"

"It's not a big problem, as long as the baby is born." Doctor Jing said a few more words.

Song Jin was exactly nine months pregnant, and her due date was a few days earlier than expected, but it was not a big problem.

With Doctor Jing's words, everyone felt relieved.

But there is no need to rush in this situation.

The child cannot be born in a short time.

People outside could only wait anxiously.

About half an hour passed.

Li was helped out of the main room by Boss Qin, and then waited outside Song Jin's room worriedly.

There were two midwives inside, and Yinlong was also there.

Xiao Liu and Lin helped to bring hot water and were busy running around.

Doctor Jing did not leave, but was led by Old Man Qin to sit in the main room.

The adult men in the family also moved to the main house.

Old Man Qin then told his son to make a pot of tea to entertain Doctor Jing.

"I heard that you received a letter saying that there was a fire in the examination room and some candidates died?" Doctor Jing heard the villagers talking when he came over. "Can you show me the letter?"

He was also worried about this.

The people sent to protect the young master were also not allowed to enter the examination room.

Old Man Qin went to get Qin Mingsong's letter.

Doctor Jing opened it and began to read. The beginning of the letter contained normal greetings to his parents and family, mostly expressions of concern for Mrs. Liu. The fire at the provincial government examination hall was only mentioned briefly.

He said that there was a fire in the examination room on the first night, the fire was so fierce that the casualties were unknown, and he also expressed his concern for Qin Chi.

The letter did not say that Qin Chi was in trouble.

But this news is enough to make the Qin family worry.

As a result, Li fainted from shock.

I don’t know what Song Jin’s condition is, but the fact that she’s suddenly going to give birth should be related to this news.

Boss Qin said, "Dad, I want to go to the provincial capital."

"Then let the second and third brothers go with you, so that more people can take care of you." Old Man Qin did not stop him.

Doctor Jing spoke at the right time, "Look at the date on this letter. It's three days away from today. If you also take the time into account, the college entrance examination ended yesterday. If you leave for the provincial government now, you might miss each other. In fact, you don't have to worry too much. The examination room is not locked."

After hearing this, Old Man Qin and his son were completely confused.

Boss Qin was really worried about his son. "Doctor Jing, can you tell me in detail?"

"If the cells are not locked, people will escape if there is a fire. At worst, the test results will be invalidated." Doctor Jing just realized that although the academy examination is strict, it is not as strict as the provincial and metropolitan examinations.

It is said that candidates for the provincial and metropolitan examinations were checked naked before being allowed into the cells, and then they were locked in the cells from the outside, just like being locked in a small dark room, and the cells were equipped with toilets. Before the end of the examination time, they had to eat, drink, defecate and urinate in the cells.

In this case, if a big fire occurs.

It is difficult for candidates to escape.

There have been several fires in examination halls during this dynasty, most of which did not cause casualties. However, a few years ago, a fire broke out in the Imperial Examination Hall in which more than a dozen candidates were burned to death.

The tragedy was caused by the fact that the candidates' rooms were locked, and when the fire broke out, the people locked inside were unable to escape in time.

This case caused a huge uproar.

All officials involved in the case were held accountable by the emperor.

It’s a pity that the court officials did not learn their lessons or make reforms.

Fires still occur from time to time.

That's why the Qin family is so worried.

Even with Dr. Jing's reminder, Qin Lao Da still decided to go to the provincial government. "Then the third brother will go with me, and the second brother will stay at home."

"Okay, I'll go with you, brother."

Qin Laosan agreed immediately.

I can't feel at ease without seeing the person in person.

Qin Laosan went to harness the carriage.

No one else stopped them, but Old Liu said with a straight face, "Lin, go to the kitchen and make some sesame cakes for the two brothers to eat on the way."

"Okay mom, I'll go right away."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Lin turned and went to the kitchen.

The hot water in the pot had been sent to Song Jin's room, and Lin scooped up the rest.

Qin Daya came over to help, "Aunt San, do you want my help?"

"Then help me ask your grandma for some flour." Lin said softly.

Qin Daya readily responded and did as she was told.

Just as she reached the door, she ran into Song Xiu, "Daya asked your grandma for more flour, Third sister-in-law, make two more pancakes, I want to eat too."

"Then you should ask your mother-in-law."

Lin did not make the decision on his own.

Song Xiu's lips curled up in sarcasm.

There was no one else in the kitchen, so Song Xiu didn't hold back. "Why are you so stingy? It's just a few cakes. The Qin family is not without money."

Lin just did her work quickly and ignored Song Xiu.

"It doesn't matter if I eat this bread. They won't be able to eat it if they take it away. It might just be wasted."

What Song Xiu said was incomprehensible.

Lin was confused, "Why can't you eat it after you bring it?"

“Hehe…”

Song Xiu smiled strangely.

Anyway, Lin didn't feel comfortable listening to it.

Song Xiu continued, "Since you and I are on the same page, I don't mind telling you that the sick kid is probably dead. My eldest and third brothers went to the provincial capital to collect corpses. Could they have eaten at that time?"

“You are…”

Lin was not happy to hear this, "You and I are not in the same group."

"It's up to you. If it's not, then it's not."

Song Xiu saw Qin Daya coming back with flour.

Qin Daya said with regret: "Aunt, I asked grandma, and she told me to tell you that if you want to eat, you have to pay for it yourself. The food in the house is rationed."

Song Xiu's face turned grim for a moment.

That old man must be eyeing her money again?! Forget it, I won’t eat it.

Song Xiu left the kitchen angrily.

When she heard the noise coming from Song Jin's room, Song Xiu couldn't help feeling happy.

That sickly guy finally died this time!

Compared with other people's worries and uncertainties, Song Xiu made guesses with the greatest malice.

And that night, the Qin family's house was brightly lit.

Almost all the adults in the family stayed up all night, except Song Xiu.

Song Jin struggled until midnight before finally giving birth to two children. After giving birth, she was exhausted and passed out.

The two midwives were beaming with joy, each holding a swaddling cloth.

"Congratulations!"

"congratulate!"

"They are twins, a boy and a girl. The eldest is a boy!"

“…”
