Chapter 117 Little Three Yuan
"This woman is very patient."
Qin Chi received news from the provincial capital two days later.
When Song Xiu learned that Qin Mingsong was very popular with women, she surprisingly did not make a fuss. She pretended to be unaware of the situation and got along with Qin Mingsong. She even spent three hundred coins a month to ask the woman next door to help her with laundry and cooking.
Living a comfortable life? Qin Chi looked at Qin Yi next to him, "I usually think she is a madman, why is she not crazy anymore?"
"I don't know about this. Why don't you ask the lady?" Qin Yi suggested sincerely.
Qin Chi did not hide the fact that he sent Song Xiu to the provincial capital from Song Jin.
It's only been two or three days, there's no rush.
The Qin family lived a very peaceful life. Even old Mrs. Liu stopped swearing these days. She went out happily every day to talk about her great-grandson and how cute he was.
However, on the day of the child's third birthday, someone quietly delivered two longevity locks with exquisite craftsmanship.
No one said who sent it.
But the first wife knew that it was sent by Helian Pu.
After the beginning of spring, Helian Pu went to Mount Qiyun, and his entourage followed him. When they learned that twins, a boy and a girl, were born, they specially sent a longevity lock.
There was a sound of gong outside.
They knocked from the village entrance all the way to the Qin family’s house.
"Good news! Good news!"
"Congratulations to Mr. Qin for getting first place in the high school entrance exam!"
The two officials who came to announce the good news entered the village carrying a gong for celebration. They rang it every few steps, attracting a group of villagers to watch.
Adults and children all followed to Lao Qin's house.
Old Man Qin heard the noise and ran out to the gate wearing only one shoe. "What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Is this my doctor?"
"I won! Mr. Qin, congratulations."
An official congratulated him with a smile.
Old man Qin was overjoyed and quickly led the officers into the house, "Two officers, come in and have a seat and drink some water."
"I'm thirsty, thank you in advance."
Two officers entered the room.
Old Liu came out, still leaning on a cane, and hurriedly asked Lin to bring out a bowl of tea. "Come to my room and get the tea."
"Okay, mother." Lin went.
Xiao Liu was also happy, "I'll help."
Soon, the whole family gathered together, and everyone was smiling happily.
When Qin Chi stepped out, the two officers congratulated him again.
Qin Chi gave each of them a big red envelope and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Please stay and have a meal before you leave."
"No need for this, just drink some water."
The officer replied with a smile.
It is better not to offend scholars like this who have achieved academic success. If they really ask you to stay for dinner, it would be considered tactless. They have worked hard to come here to announce the good news, but they just want a reward.
Song Jin in the room heard the news, and it would be a lie to say he was not surprised.
"Congratulations, young lady, for getting first place in the college exam."
It was only today that Yin Long found out that Qin Chi was so good at studying that he won three first places in a row and was actually the "Little Three Prizes".
Song Jin's eyes were gentle, "It's quite unexpected."
In this world, a wife’s status depends on her husband.
When the man you marry becomes successful, it will be a great honor for you as his wife.
Song Jin raised his eyes and looked at Yin Long with a smile, "Aunt Long, add a few more dishes tonight and give everyone another month's salary."
"That's great! I'll pass the message back right away."
Yinlong replied happily.
After Yinlong went out, the officials had already been sent away, but the Qin family was still very lively. Even the clan leader and the village chief came, as well as some elders of the clan.
Old man Qin was in high spirits.
It was as if he was the one who passed the imperial examination.
Everyone took turns to compliment and congratulate him, and he was more popular than Qin Chi who was just sitting quietly aside.
Qin Lao Da, the father, on the other hand, sat there smiling naively. Whenever someone spoke to him, he would respond in a naive manner, looking a little silly with joy.
The man was entertaining guests in the main room, while the woman was serving tea and water.
The children were also in high spirits, playing in the yard. The aunties and sisters from the village had also come and were surrounding Old Mrs. Liu, complimenting her.
Those who were jealous of Old Liu in the past are still jealous, but they will not choose to bring bad luck upon themselves today.
"I heard that Dalang's wife gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. I haven't seen them yet."
"Da Lang's wife isn't here either?"
"I'm in confinement."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"She is so lucky. She became a scholar's wife in the second year after she got married, and gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl." A young wife said enviously.
There was a rumor before that the Song sisters were a pair of lucky girls and both married into the Qin family, but people without luck would not be able to bear it, so Mrs. Liu even went to an old blind man to ask for talismans to break the rumor.
Not everyone believed this.
You know, the Qin family has caused a lot of trouble.
The young wife in the fourth room had a miscarriage, and old Mrs. Liu broke her leg.
Suddenly, an old lady said with emotion, "It depends on whether one can suppress this blessing. Dalang can obviously bear it. Since he married the blessed girl, good things have happened one after another. How long has it been? It's not even been a year since the new daughter-in-law came into the family, and she has already passed the imperial examination and has a son and a daughter."
Everyone agreed with this statement.
Then the old lady looked at Old Liu, with a critical look in her eyes, "Old Lady Liu, you are in trouble. You are not blessed enough and cannot control yourself."
As she said this, she also glanced at Old Liu's broken leg.
Old Liu's smile froze for a moment.
Not only some people in the village have not forgotten the old blind man's words, but old Mrs. Liu also remembers them very clearly.
It’s not that Old Liu didn’t go look for the old blind man.
But the magic water worked for other people, but not for her. The old blind man said that she was unlucky. Fortunately, she only broke her leg after drinking the magic water. If she hadn't drunk it, she might have lost her life.
Old Liu didn't dare mention this matter to anyone.
Now that she was mentioned in public, Old Liu felt guilty, but she kept a straight face, "I already have great-grandsons and great-granddaughters, and my youngest son and eldest grandson both passed the imperial examinations. If this is bad luck, then what are you?"
There's really no way to refute that!
This person is afraid of comparison.
When compared to others, it seems not good enough.
In this village, only the patriarch of the Qin family is a student, and the only two scholars are both from the old Liu family.
Everyone looked embarrassed, and those who were tactful immediately changed the topic of conversation to other topics.
Some young wives in the clan went to live with the eldest wife, Mrs. Li.
I just want to hug twins, a boy and a girl, share in the joy, and hope to have a pair too.
Ziyang Academy in the city.
When Qin Mingsong was in the teacher's class, he learned from the teacher that Qin Chi had won the first place in the academy examination.
Generally, the first teacher in the court will not mention it.
I specifically mentioned that it was because of the "Little Three Prizes" that Huizhou Prefecture became famous because of this student, and even the Tachuan Academy in Yi County also caught the attention of many people.
Can there be any bad academy that can produce "Little Three Yuan"? This year's entrance examination of Tachuan Academy will definitely be quite lively.
Qin Mingsong smiled, but he couldn't help feeling jealous.
After leaving the academy, I rented a house.
Just then, Song Xiu in the house could be heard smashing tea bowls in anger, "He actually passed the imperial examination?! Why?!... Why doesn't that sickly person just die!..."
