Chapter 130 Song Jin is not a human being
They had supported Qin Mingsong's studies for many years but he did not end up well. On the contrary, they did not spend a penny on Qin Chi, but he always took care of the second wife and ensured that Erlang and Sanlang both had education.
Those who don't exploit them will benefit them.
Only someone with a hair on his head would continue to support Qin Mingsong?
The resentment in my heart accumulates day by day, and it will explode when there is an opportunity.
Old Qin knew something was wrong.
I was just about to say a few words to ease the situation.
Old Liu jumped out, pointed at their noses and cursed: "You two have no conscience. After Si'er passed the imperial examination, the family was exempted from labor service and taxes. Didn't you see that? Without Si'er, you would still have to serve in the army every year, and no one would know when you died there!
"Si'er is the benefactor who saved your life, you are so ungrateful! I tell you, you have to take it this time even if you don't want to, and you have to give me the silver even if you die!"
It's really impossible to reason with old Mrs. Liu when she starts to act so unreasonable.
What she said makes sense to her.
She doesn't agree with anything others say!
Suddenly, Old Man Qin winked at Old Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu immediately slapped her chest and said, "Ouch, ouch!" She looked like she was about to be mad at her son. "You unfilial son, you want to mad me to death! Oh, God, why don't you have eyes..."
Excellent singing and writing.
Qin Lao Er was so angry that his veins were throbbing.
When Mrs. Liu saw that something was wrong, she quickly pulled the man out of the room.
When going out.
The two looked at Song Jin and stopped again.
When the two wanted to say something, Song Jin motioned for them to go out first.
Now there were only three people in the main room.
The two elders and Song Jin.
Old Liu wanted to continue crying, but when she met Song Jin's half-smile, she couldn't cry anymore.
Even Old Man Qin felt so ashamed.
Song Jin kept a polite smile on his face, "Uncle Qin, do you really not have fifty taels?"
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, but it's really gone."
Old Man Qin smiled bitterly and said, "Last time, your sister offended the Bai family in the capital city and spread rumors and ruined the reputation of Miss Bai. Si'er had to help her settle the matter, so he spent more than 1,800 taels to buy a set of top-quality study treasures to send as an apology."
"It was Xiu'er who caused trouble for uncle."
Song Jin spoke in a casual tone, as if chatting, "Tell her to be filial to you in the future, even if she works like a cow or a horse."
This made Old Man Qin unsure of her thoughts.
There is no need to worry about Song Jin investigating the matter of giving the four treasures of the study. Qin Mingsong did give another set of the four treasures of the study to Bai Daru to pass on to Bai Cuiwei after the incident, stating that it was a private apology.
The four treasures of the study worth 1,800 taels are, of course, Hui ink, She inkstone, Wang Boli brush, and Chengxintang paper.
The better the quality of these four things, the more expensive they are.
There is still no demand for it.
Old man Qin didn't say that he didn't spend a penny to buy this set of things. The reason was that he occasionally got them from Qin Chi over the years, just like when Qin Chi gave Song Jin a set of four treasures of the study as a dowry.
The things were made by Qin Chi.
Then it is inevitable that you will have some at home.
Old man Qin was delighted to see the prey, so it was not surprising that everyone took one or two pieces.
The quality is not as good as the one Qin Chi gave to Song Jin, but it is also a rare fine product on the market.
After all, Qin Chi wouldn't stay if it wasn't good.
Qin Chi didn't know about this, otherwise he would have been very upset. In the past, when one or two things from his home were missing, he thought that Li had taken them away.
Old man Qin wanted to distance himself from what he did today.
And get some benefits from Song Jin at the same time.
Finally, Song Jin asked with a smile: "Uncle Qin, who do you want to take care of you in your old age? This question may not sound nice, but it is very realistic. I think uncle is a wise man and he should not believe in the idea that parents should not divide the family."
Old man Qin became more and more unsure.
I felt like there was something wrong with what Song Jin said.
Unfortunately, he didn't see through it at the moment.
But when Song Jin directly called him uncle, Old Man Qin knew that there was no hope of getting the eldest wife to pay the money today.
Just as Qin Chi commented at the beginning.
Old man Qin was a pragmatic man. When he heard what Song Jin said, he actually started to think about it.
"Of course we will follow Si'er in the future!"
Old Liu jumped out again and said, "My son will become a high-ranking official in the future, and he will fight for a royal wife for me! If you don't pay now, don't even think about getting any help in the future."
For women in this world.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
The imperial edict is a great honor, and the person will bring honor to the family even after death.
There is no woman who does not desire to be conferred a title.
After hearing this, Song Jin immediately understood something.
Qin Mingsong would not use the imperial edict to hang old Liu and have her fight for him all the time, right?
That's actually possible.
In the Daxia Dynasty, "officials above the fifth rank were promoted by imperial edict, and officials below the sixth rank received imperial decrees." That is, only the mothers of officials above the fifth rank could be promoted by imperial edicts.
The title of Lady of Imperial Concubine is a symbol of honor.
Although they have no real power, they are extremely honored and can obtain salary, land, houses and other property granted by the court. In addition, there will be a grand ceremony for receiving the title, and they will be awarded with corresponding formal clothes, hats, carriages, etc. This will be recorded by the government, accompany them throughout their lives and after their death, and bring honor to their descendants.
In short, being a lady with an imperial title is a way for women to improve their social status. In this world where men are superior to women, it will give women more security and confidence.
Song Jin suddenly understood why Old Mrs. Liu favored Qin Mingsong.
To put it nicely, it means spoiling your son.
In fact, it is also for myself.
Song Xiu, who came over stealthily, happened to hear Song Jin saying that she should work like a slave for two old men. She was so angry that she almost ran out and scolded Song Jin for being a bad person.
Why should she make the decision? Who wants to be filial to those two old guys? But then she remembered that Qin Mingsong was about to pass the imperial examination, and Song Xiu suppressed her thoughts of making trouble.
This is a critical moment, we can't let anything go wrong.
"Aunt, what are you doing sneakily again?"
Sanlang stepped into the yard with his schoolbag on his back. When he saw someone eavesdropping in front of the main hall, he ran over immediately.
Song Xiu was so frightened that she immediately left the main hall and turned to look at Sanlang who was looking at her with a gossipy expression, "It's you again, little brat! Get away from me! Don't come and touch me!"
After saying this, Song Xiuren ran back to the house.
Sanlang still wanted to call out to Song Xiu.
Song Jin in the main hall heard this, turned back to look at the door, and said again, as if warming a knife to cut meat, "It is not the lack of wealth that is worrying, but the inequality of wealth. I believe Uncle Qin knows this very well. You still did this knowing this, which makes people wonder if the first, second and third wives have already abandoned their children. It is understandable. Compared with a son with a bright future, it doesn't matter if the others don't die."
Old man Qin’s eyes suddenly widened.
There was a deep panic hidden in his eyes, as well as the anger and shame of having his innermost thoughts exposed in front of him.
That Mr. Bai said that it would be no problem for Si'er to pass the imperial examination.
This was an opportunity for his family to change its status. It was right for him to value Si'er, but the family was short of money. Old Mrs. Liu wanted to ask for some from the first wife, and he had thought it was a possibility before.
But now it's causing trouble.
The three sons' reactions were so intense that they were far beyond Old Man Qin's expectations.
At this time, Old Man Qin also felt that what he did today seemed to be a mistake.
