Chapter 166 Guidance
Song Jin returned to Qinjiagou in the evening.
Qin Chi was not seen at home.
After dinner, when she was about to wash up, she saw Li coming to her with the child.
Both children have learned to walk.
But he walked in a very clumsy and crooked manner and fell from time to time.
He didn't cry even after falling, but stood up giggling.
The boredom of the day was immediately cured by the two children. Song Jin took care of the children with tenderness in her eyes until they were tired from playing and dozed off, and were then taken away by Li and Huang.
Song Jin finally had some free time.
It was dark, and Qin Chi was still nowhere to be seen.
Song Jin called Xiaoyu over.
"Boss, what can I do for you?" Xiaoyu still calls Song Jin "Boss" in private.
Song Jin asked directly if Qin Chi was at home. Xiaoyu replied, "The young master said he was out visiting people and would not be home for three to five days."
This young man naturally refers to Qin Chi.
It was Xiaoyu who heard Old Li and Mrs. Huang call them that, and she followed suit. In fact, the names in this family are a bit confusing, but as the protagonist, they have never corrected them.
Xiaoyu was sent away.
Song Jin looked out the window as the night fell.
She lit the oil lamp in the dormitory and then took out the Lu Ban box that Song Huaichang gave her.
Took out the account books and lists.
Sitting in front of the desk, Song Jin flipped through the account book again, and read it very carefully.
Song Jin's mood is quite conflicted now.
If it were her in her previous life, she would have definitely put the Lu Ban Box aside.
But if you live another life, your state of mind will be different.
Why should she give up something that should have belonged to the direct descendants of the Huizhou Song family?
Naturally, we need to sort them out one by one.
Of course, it doesn’t matter to her whether they are loyal or not, but at least they must take back the property belonging to the Huizhou Song family.
Song Jin is writing at his desk.
The combination of the account book and the list divides the people on the list into three types.
1. The income is stable or increases year by year.
Second, the returns decrease year by year.
The last type is the business that has been in loss for many years.
These three situations alone reveal the various aspects of life.
Song Jin didn't want to check them one by one.
He wrote a letter directly to the governors of various prefectures where the business was profitable. The content of the letter was roughly that the Song family's legitimate wife would go from being open to being secretive, and that it would be the same in the future as it was before, and that the annual profits would be deposited into the bank's account.
He then wrote a letter to those who had suffered losses, asking them in a simple and rough manner to deal with the assets of the Song family's direct branch and deposit the money they earned into their accounts.
The letters were all stamped with the family seal.
This represents the order of the Song clan.
As for how the recipient will respond, it all depends on their conscience.
Even if he is a member of the tribe, it will take some time to know whether he is a ghost.
Then decide what to do with it.
When Song Jin finished writing the letter, it was already four o'clock in the morning, and he put away the letters on the table.
I went to bed with sleepy eyes.
In a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, it seemed as if someone was lying next to her. But she felt a familiar breath and fell asleep peacefully again.
Suddenly I found someone stroking my eyebrows.
Song Jin was sleepy and forced his eyes open a little.
With the dim light, I saw Qin Chi lying on his side beside me.
"What? Did I wake you up?"
Qin Chi's voice seemed to brush gently past her ears, as soft as velvet, with a sense of elegance and confidence.
Song Jin's mind was completely clear now. "Didn't my husband say he was going to visit someone?"
"I rushed back overnight."
Qin Chi's eyes fell on her brows.
Her fingertips moved again and again, as if trying to smooth out the sadness between her brows.
I really didn't mean to wake her up.
Song Jin raised her delicate jade-like hand and grasped Qin Chi's hand that was stroking her brow. His hand was icy cold, so cold that she shivered involuntarily.
Qin Chi chuckled, "Did you feel cold?"
"Did you just get back? Why are your hands so cold?"
Met Song Jin's suspicious look.
The most important thing is that my hands are cold, but I still have the nerve to touch her.
This little look was too obvious for Qin Chi to ignore.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Qin Chi withdrew his hand awkwardly, and simply pulled her into his arms, covering her face with his chest.
Song Jin shivered again from the cold.
"What's wrong with you today, my husband? Who provoked you?" Song Jin felt that he was a little strange at the moment.
He wasn't so naive before.
Qin Chi gently stroked her smooth black hair. "I rushed back in such a hurry, didn't I just want to discuss something with you? But you look like you just fell asleep?"
"I was busy with some things and before I knew it I was resting late."
Song Jin paused after saying this and asked, "What do you want to discuss?"
Qin Chi went out as soon as he received the message this time. He did have something to tell Song Jin, but considering that she had stayed up late and had not slept yet, he wanted to wait until she woke up before talking.
After all, if I tell her about this now, she might not be able to sleep.
"Let's talk after you've rested." Qin Chi said soothingly.
Song Jin said in a muffled voice: "Not in a hurry?"
"There's no rush."
Qin Chi patted her back and motioned for her to go to sleep first.
Song Jin nestled quietly in his arms and closed her eyes.
There was silence for a long while.
Qin Chi thought she fell asleep.
Song Jin suddenly asked, "Sir, if something happens to the master's family, the morale of his subordinates will be dispersed. What should the descendants of the master's family do to gather this power? We must minimize casualties, and it would be even better if we can do it without bloodshed."
Qin Chi pondered for a moment, "My lady, do you understand the meaning of this poem, 'A new emperor chooses his own ministers'? Many principles in this world are the same. When you encounter similar situations, you just need to remember to correct them if you have any, and encourage yourself if you don't. Those who are stubborn and unrepentant should be abandoned."
Hearing this, Song Jin was silent for a long time.
When Qin Chi thought she was asleep, she responded softly, "My husband is right."
Qin Chi's words made Song Jin's messy thoughts suddenly clear up.
As the saying goes, a new emperor appoints new ministers.
Those who followed Song's father were all elderly and only believed in him. If Song Jin stepped forward, it would be difficult to convince the other party. They might even regard themselves as elders and give orders to a junior like her.
This situation is not difficult to see.
It’s like meeting Song Huaichang at that time.
According to Song Huaichang, he hoped that Song Jin would become a rich and idle person.
This also indirectly shows that he doesn't want Song Jin to overestimate her own abilities and try to win over the officials of other prefectures, because it is very likely that she will fail and get into trouble instead, and he is worried that it will disrupt her current peaceful life.
Song Huaichang also said that her father would want her to live a peaceful life.
In fact, Song Jin doesn’t think so.
Her father might think so, but he also hopes that she can stand on her own feet.
Otherwise, he would not have set a condition for her to have children.
Because offspring represent inheritance.
If the bloodline is cut off, there is no need to obtain the family seal.
Her father hoped that she or her children would be able to revive the Song family business and pass on the Song family's craftsmanship in the future.
