Chapter 121 Return to Qinjiagou
Huizhou Prefecture has a strong cultural atmosphere. Many Jinshi and Juren came here specifically to settle down, including Bai Daru and his family, who moved to Huizhou from the capital more than ten years ago.
Bai Da Ru wore a square scarf, had a white face and a long beard, and wore a plain robe with a red belt around his waist.
Being able to serve as the head of an academy and practice education, he must be knowledgeable and have extraordinary concentration. The strong scholarly aura emanating from his brows makes people involuntarily feel awe towards him.
Judging from the Bai family’s investigation, what Qin Mingsong said was true.
The rumor that Bai Cuiwei had a crush on Qin Mingsong had been circulating in the academy for a long time, and everyone even thought that President Bai Shan was planning to recruit Qin Mingsong as his son-in-law.
There are many people who are envious and jealous.
Unexpectedly, there was a news that Qin Mingsong was getting married in the countryside.
When others asked Qin Mingsong whether it was true or not, Qin Mingsong admitted it in public without hiding anything. It seemed that other people's admiration had nothing to do with him. He remained unmoved, which made many people have a good impression of him.
Bai Da Ru is not the kind of person who would vent his anger without reason.
Originally, he had paid some attention to Qin Mingsong and had given him advice on studies many times. After all, with Qin Mingsong's knowledge, he had a chance of passing the imperial examination this year.
"Sir, the students will explain the rumor to the public."
Qin Mingsong stood up and bowed.
Bai Da Ru stopped him, "You have not been implicated in this matter. If you come forward, it will only make things worse. Just pretend you don't know. The Bai Mansion will come forward to crack down on those who spread the rumors and make them confess that they were bribed and fabricated to slander Wei Er."
This treatment can minimize the impact.
If Qin Mingsong stood up.
It is more like adding insult to injury than clarification.
There are people outside who know that Bai Cuiwei has a crush on Qin Mingsong. The credibility of the rumor will be even higher, and it will only make things worse.
Even the Bai family couldn't do anything to Song Xiu.
If we tell others that it was Song Xiu's doing, they will immediately think of Qin Mingsong.
Qin Mingsong seemed to have just understood and apologized again, "I was mistaken. Sorry, sir. I almost did something bad because of my good intentions."
"Go down. Just pretend you don't know what happened today. Go back and take care of your family affairs first."
Bai Daru doesn't want to see Qin Mingsong now.
The fact that his daughter had a flawed reputation was not the main issue. Rather, it was that his daughter had fallen for Qin Mingsong for some reason and was trying to commit suicide at home.
Qin Mingsong politely took his leave from Bai Daru.
He went to get out of class as usual. When school was over, Qin Mingsong did not return to the dormitory, but went straight out of the college and returned to his rented house.
Song Xiu was waiting for Qin Mingsong to come back for dinner.
Qin Mingsong came back with a sullen face. Song Xiu was about to throw herself into his arms as she did in the past, but he pushed her away with quite a bit of force. Song Xiu didn't pay attention and fell to the ground.
"Husband? What are you doing?"
Song Xiu looked at Qin Mingsong in shock.
Qin Mingsong said coldly: "What did you do? You still have the nerve to ask me? The Bai Mansion found out everything, and I was implicated as well."
"You, what are you talking about? I, I don't understand."
Song Xiu's speech became intermittent for a moment.
Qin Mingsong knew how guilty she looked. When Song Xiu rushed over and tried to hug his thighs again, he kicked her away, saying with sinister eyes, "If you are not smart, just stay at home. Why do you have to go out and play tricks on others? Song Xiu, don't make me regret marrying you."
He would not divorce or divorce his wife because of his reputation, but he did not mind being widowed. Of course, he would not stain his hands with blood unless it was absolutely necessary.
Qin Mingsong turned around and was about to leave.
Song Xiu grabbed his sleeve in panic, "Husband, I was wrong, I was wrong. I shouldn't have spread rumors out of jealousy. I loved you too much and I was afraid of losing you."
"Do you really like me?"
Qin Mingsong looked down at Song Xiu.
Song Xiu lay on the ground, looked up at him, and nodded vigorously, "I like you, very much."
"So, are you going to ruin me just because you like me? I worked so hard to build up my connections and reputation in the city, which made Mr. Bai have a good impression of me. Because of your interference, you have ruined half of my path to study."
This is exactly what made Qin Mingsong most angry.
It’s hard to say what will happen next.
He had worked hard to establish this connection with the Bai family, but now it was destroyed by Song Xiu.
Song Xiu became even more panicked after hearing what he said.
If Qin Mingsong has no future, can she still be an official's wife?
This made Song Xiu very upset.
It should be done more covertly.
As long as they can't find out it was her, it'll be fine. And the man who took her money, he clearly said he wouldn't sell her out, but he actually went back on his word! Trash!
If I have the chance, I must make sure they look good!
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"Pack your things, I will send you back to Qinjiagou tomorrow." Qin Mingsong made the decision immediately.
"No, I won't go back! Husband, I promise I won't do it again. I will wait for you at home obediently."
Song Xiu felt scared when she thought about going back to Qinjiagou.
Life here is so comfortable.
She didn't want to go back to work.
This is no longer a question of whether Song Xiu wants to do it or not, but Qin Mingsong must give an explanation to the Bai family.
Who would be annoyed if Song Xiu continued to stay in the city?
Qin Mingsong went to the academy the next day to ask for leave.
Then rent a horse-drawn carriage.
You don’t know until you move, and you realize how much stuff there is.
Rice, flour, grain, oil, meat, vegetables, dried goods and other food, plus the clothes and jewelry that Song Xiu had bought during this period, packed together into two large bags, which took up most of the carriage.
Song embroidery can only occupy a very small corner.
Qin Mingsong sat outside the carriage with the driver.
Song Xiu didn't sleep well that night and was in a bad mood. She tried to talk to Qin Mingsong several times, but Qin Mingsong ignored her.
Qin Mingsong unilaterally launched a cold war against Song Xiu.
It was late at night when the carriage returned to Qinjiagou.
Almost all the adults in the Qin family were woken up.
When I came out, I saw the carriage in front of the yard and the pile of things that Qin Mingsong and the driver had moved.
Standing beside them was Song Xiu, looking distraught.
"What happened? How come Si'er came back suddenly without any prior notice?" Old Mrs. Liu came out hurriedly wearing pointed flat embroidered cloth shoes and a coat.
Qin Mingsong calmed down when he saw Old Liu. "Mom, let's move our things in first. We can talk later."
"well."
Old Liu turned around and yelled at the eldest and second oldest Qin behind her, "What are you all still standing there for? Come over and help me move the things. You have no eyesight at all."
Xiao Liu was holding a lantern and shining it on the things on the ground. "Oh, there are so many things. My uncle must have made a fortune and finally thought of his family."
If Qin Chi were here, he would definitely tell her.
Most of the money spent on these things was his.
In order to make things difficult for Qin Mingsong, Qin Chi also invested a lot of money.
