Chapter 173 Shunan Trading Company

"Second Master, isn't he just the head of a business? Is it necessary to be so afraid of him?"

The accountant standing behind Master Zhang asked in confusion.

Master Zhang's smile faded. "Shun'an Commercial Bank has made a lot of connections in the past few years with the four treasures of the study in Huizhou, including people from the Treasury Department."

The Baochaosi belonged to the inner court department and was responsible for matters related to food and daily life in the palace, including the purchase of the four treasures of the study.

Shunan Commercial Bank mainly deals in things related to scholars, such as the four treasures of the study and various types of printed books. Last year, it successfully became a royal merchant with its study treasures such as Hui ink, She inkstone and Chengxintang paper.

This can make you an imperial merchant.

Who doesn't have a big backer behind them? The Zhang family already has many rivals, and they don't want to provoke another difficult opponent.

The account issue has been resolved.

The news soon spread back to Qinjiagou.

Song Jin immediately decided, "You can take the 1,000 taels of gold, and we will take back what we deserve."

"My wife is very generous." Qin Chi praised.

Song Jin knew that he was not being generous.

It’s just that a gentleman loves money, but he gets it in a proper way.

The money that Shunan got for helping to solve the problem was also compensation given by the other party out of consideration for Shunan. In fact, it was also equivalent to a hush money.

This is what they deserve.

Qin Chi knew that she had made the matter very clear, so he did not refuse. After all, his family was large and he needed a lot of money to support himself.

Song Jin suddenly asked, "Hasn't there been any news from Shangjing yet?"

"No."

Qin Chi was helpless. "That person works in the palace and is not easy to approach. He would have all sorts of associations at the slightest sign of trouble."

After a pause, he continued, "I paid money to bribe a person who worked in the Imperial Hospital, but there is no good news yet."

"Then we can only wait."

Song Jin was also helpless.

However, after waiting for more than a month, what I got was still bad news.

Not only were there no clues found, but the people who were bribed would be transferred away as soon as they approached the other party, as they were all considered to be people who wanted to steal her unique skills.

This is really disgusting.

It was clearly a stolen skill, but it became the other party's after one transfer of hands.

"Brother! Grandpa asked you to go to the old house for dinner."

The voice arrived before Sanlang.

Qin Chi paused while writing, put down his pen, and waited for Sanlang to enter the study. "What's the good news?"

"What can there be to be happy about? I don't know."

Sanlang looked confused.

He was just a messenger and didn't know what happy event was going on at home.

Qin Chi said he understood, and then told Song Jin about going to the old house for dinner.

"To the old house?"

Song Jin said with a fake smile, "Today is Hu Zi and Niu Niu's birthday. Since the children are still young, we didn't have a big celebration, but mother still added more dishes."

Most of the food is ready in the kitchen.

The old house suddenly asked them to go over for dinner? Qin Chi was also helpless.

It's not a good idea to disobey your elders.

Li decided for them, "Pick a few big dishes and take them to the old house, and let the rest be divided among the rest of the family."

The whole family went to the old house immediately.

When they saw them coming, Old Man Qin and Old Mrs. Liu's faces looked much better.

Lin took the food box and took it to the kitchen.

Little Liu poked her head out to see if there was anything delicious.

The fourth room killed a fat chicken today, bought a few pounds of pork belly, stir-fried some bacon, and made some bone soup. The second and third rooms also added two or three dishes each.

Plus the dishes brought by Qin Chi’s family.

A table full of dishes.

It looks very rich at first glance.

"The last time I saw such delicious dishes was during the Chinese New Year." Old Mrs. Liu suddenly said this.

Little Liu said happily: "In my opinion, the New Year is not as abundant as today."

Li smiled but said nothing.

Song Jin looked after the twins, a boy and a girl, and didn't say anything.

On the contrary, there were several men like Old Man Qin and Qin Chi drinking and chatting.

As they were talking, they came to the question of whether Qin Mingsong would be on the list this year.

Old Man Qin asked their eldest wife to come over for dinner.

I just want Qin Chi to find out the situation.

"The results should be announced by now. I wonder if your uncle has passed the exam." Old Man Qin said to Qin Chi.

Qin Chi smiled and replied, "It's still early. It will take at least half a month for the news to get back to Huizhou."

"It will take another half a month for Si'er to come back."

Old Qin wished he could see the person right away.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Qin Chi added: "It depends on whether my uncle is successful. If he is successful, he won't come back so soon."

If you don’t win, you will come back quickly.

Old Man Qin immediately changed his words, "Then it's better not to come back too soon."

"Haha, I also hope that my uncle can get into high school." Qin Chi's eyes were full of smiles. "Although we have separated, I still hope that my uncle can achieve his wish."

Smiling but with a dagger hidden in his heart!

This is Song Jin's evaluation of Qin Chi at the moment.

Old Man Qin was embarrassed for a moment.

Why are you talking about splitting up for no reason?

Qin Lao Er and Qin Lao San didn't say anything.

To be honest, they also hope that Qin Mingsong can pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi.

Song Xiu came to Song Jin's side without knowing when, and even half-knelt down and stretched out her fingers to tease the twins.

Song Jin subconsciously pulled the child away.

I don’t want my children to be exposed to Song embroidery.

Song Xiu's pretty face twisted for a moment, then returned to normal, "Sister, I'm their sister-in-law. Is it necessary to be so cautious? It makes me seem like I'm going to hurt them."

"You dare to harm me, let alone them?"

Song Jin's words hit the nail on the head.

Song Xiu was speechless. She stood up angrily and snorted, "If you don't want to touch it, then don't touch it. Do you think I care about you?"

But having said that, this pair of twins are really well taken care of. They are white and tender, and look like the boy and girl under the seat of Guanyin, and are very lovable.

It was precisely because of this that she had reached out and wanted to pinch the baby's little face.

Song Jin didn't want to pay any attention to Song Xiu.

Some people are just weird like that.

The more you ignore her, the more excited she will become.

When it was time to eat, Song Xiu sat next to Song Jin. "We two sisters haven't talked to each other for a long time. It's just right for us to sit together."

"As long as you are happy."

Song Jin just glanced at her indifferently.

No one else said anything.

What is the relationship between the two sisters? After so long, the Qin family has already discovered it.

The whole family gathered in the main hall to eat. After they were seated, only Bai Cuiwei was absent.

Originally Song Jin thought Bai Cuiwei would not show up, but unexpectedly, she walked out of the house with the support of Rouzhu.

Concubines of wealthy families are not entitled to eat at the table.

However, there is no such rule among the two elders of the Qin family.

Old Man Qin was concerned about Bai Cuiwei's backer, Bai Da Ru, so he was naturally more tolerant. Sometimes when Song Xiu wanted to make things difficult for her, he would order Old Liu to stop her.

Bai Cuiwei sat down and was very silent.

After a month or so of recuperation after the miscarriage, and with the help of Doctor Jing, I have almost recovered.

But he looked much gloomier.
