Chapter 177 Failure

In March, spring returns to the earth and all things come back to life.

The mountains are layered and lush and green.

The gurgling stream that flows around the village reflects the tender green branches of the willow trees on the shore, and a few ducks are leisurely playing in the water.

In the fields, farmers were working hard, wielding hoes and turning the soil. In the distance, several oxen lowered their heads to pull the plow, walking steadily in the fields, marking the beginning of spring ploughing.

Next to the ancient well at the entrance of the village.

Several children were playing, their laughter was clear and pleasant.

Under the old locust tree, several aunties and sisters-in-law sat together, weaving bamboo tools by hand and chatting and gossiping.

A carriage was approaching the village.

A sharp-eyed aunt asked in surprise: "Hey, is that car Qin Juren's?"

"Oh, yes, this is the scientific expedition back, did you pass?"

An old lady stood up and looked out, saying, "I have to go to the clan leader's house to report the news."

Without waiting for anyone else to say anything, they ran towards the clan leader's house.

If someone familiar with the imperial examination process saw Qin Mingsong returning to the village, they would probably understand that his quiet return meant he had most likely failed.

But the aunties and aunties in the village are not aware of it.

So the lady went to inform the clan leader.

The carriage stopped in front of the Qin family mansion.

Old Huo jumped out of the car first.

Boss Qin pulled the reins and calmed the restless horse.

The first person to see the carriage was the maid in the house.

The maid had never seen Boss Qin, so she just reported to Old Man Qin and Old Lady Liu: "Master, Madam, there is a carriage parked outside the gate."

"A carriage?"

When Old Man Qin heard this, he stood up and walked out.

Old Mrs. Liu also ran out happily. When she saw Qin Mingsong getting off the car, she immediately smiled and said, "My fourth son is back. I've been waiting for him for so long."

He walked forward, grabbed Qin Mingsong's hand, and looked left and right.

"Oh, my son, you've had a hard time on the road. You've lost weight. You must not have eaten well. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare a delicious meal for you later." Old Liu said with heartache, but her face showed pride.

Boss Qin wanted to move the boxes off the car.

After waiting for a long time, I didn't see any other family members come out, not even the children. If it were at this time in normal times, someone would definitely show up.

Boss Qin saw his parents circling around Qin Mingsong.

He couldn't help but ask, "Dad and Mom, where are the other people at home?"

"Why do you ask that?"

Old Liu replied dryly, "How would they know that you guys came back so suddenly? They'd all be working in the fields by this time."

Just then someone came out in a hurry.

It was Song Xiu who had dressed up, like a delicate flower. Seeing Qin Mingsong coming back, her eyes were full of joy.

Then there was Rouzhu supporting Bai Cuiwei out, like a green willow in the wind, standing in front of the door, gazing at her lover with tearful eyes.

Very pitiable.

Qin Mingsong had just greeted his father and dealt with Song Xiu for a few words, then looked up at Bai Cuiwei, his eyes suddenly froze.

"Are you sick? Go back to the house quickly and stay away from the wind." Qin Mingsong stepped forward and held Bai Cuiwei's hand.

Bai Cuiwei wanted to speak but hesitated.

Qin Mingsong said gently, "Let's go inside and talk first."

"Yes, yes, why are you standing there? My son has been sitting in the carriage for so long, he must be tired."

Old Mrs. Liu urged everyone to go into the house, and went to the kitchen to prepare food with a rosy face.

The family entered the house.

No one paid any attention to Boss Qin.

Qin Laoda was used to being ignored by his parents and was about to move some things to the car.

"Dad, let me do it."

Qin Chi brought Old Li over and said, "Go home and take a shower first, change into clean clothes, and then go see mom. Mom was sick not long ago, and she hasn't recovered after ten days."

"What? Your mother is sick?"

Boss Qin didn't care about anything else and was about to walk towards the gate when he was stopped in time by Old Li.

Old Li reminded: "People are in their own home, so they don't live in this house anymore."

“Ohhhh.”

Boss Qin anxiously turned around and strode towards Xiaojia.

Qin Chi smiled.

As expected, whenever his mother was mentioned, his father would leave without asking any questions.

Then he looked at Old Huo who seemed invisible.

Old Huo chuckled and said, "Sir, I have accomplished your mission."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Qin Chi asked them to take the boxes off the carriage and then pull the carriage to the stable. He walked into the old house slowly.

Just then I heard Bai Cuiwei's sharp exclamation:

"What did you say?!"

"Impossible! You passed, how could you not pass?!" Bai Cuiwei grabbed Qin Mingsong with her left hand like crazy, "How could you not pass? I received news that you passed, and you even ranked among the top three in the imperial examination!"

"Who gave you the letter?" Qin Mingsong questioned.

Bai Cuiwei saw him like this, her face full of disbelief, "Did you really not win?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"No."

Qin Mingsong's voice revealed helplessness.

"No……"

Bai Cuiwei's eyes opened wide, a look of despair on her face, and suddenly she spat out a mouthful of blood, and then her body fell limply to the ground.

Qin Mingsong caught her in panic, "Wei'er? What's wrong with you? Call a doctor!"

"Miss! Miss, please don't scare me..."

Rouzhu also exclaimed.

Qin Chi watched the show quietly and glanced at the others.

Old man Qin was sitting on the steps in front of the main room, not saying a word.

Old Liu's face was full of disbelief. "Didn't they say that the letter from the capital city said that Si'er passed the exam? How come Si'er said that he didn't? Si'er, you must be joking on purpose."

"I'm not kidding. If I passed the exam, the good news would come to the village earlier than me. Wasn't it the same when I passed the exam?" Qin Mingsong explained exhaustedly.

I was already hit hard by failing the exam.

It took him several days to recover from the blow.

Not only was there no comfort when I returned home, but there were also a lot of doubts.

He hurriedly carried Bai Cuiwei back to the room.

When I went in, I smelled a strong smell of medicine.

Qin Mingsong questioned Rouzhu, "Is your young lady ill recently?"

"Yes, I am sick."

Rouzhu lowered her head and answered in a trembling voice. Suddenly, she burst into tears. "Son-in-law, please help my daughter. She is dying. My daughter has a miserable life. She suddenly had a miscarriage and injured her arm..."

It was only then that Qin Mingsong discovered it.

When he left home, Bai Cuiwei was already pregnant, and now not only her belly was flat.

Qin Mingsong turned and stared at Rouzhu: "Tell me everything that happened at home."

Rouzhu hesitated for a long time and couldn't say anything.

Song Xiu, who followed, half leaned against the door frame and said sarcastically: "Do you want me to say it, husband? I'm afraid some people are too embarrassed to say it..."

There is Song embroidery here.

Rouzhu couldn't even hide it.

Qin Mingsong quickly figured out the whole story, and then looked at Bai Cuiwei who was unconscious on the bed, his eyes flickering and extremely complicated.

After a while, he turned around and asked Song Xiu: "Where is Doctor Jing? Why hasn't he come for so long?"

"Don't even think about Doctor Jing. He won't agree to treat her. I'll ask someone to ask my third uncle." Song Xiu gave Qin Mingsong enough face.

Compared to others.

Song Xiu accepted Qin Mingsong's failure to pass the exam well. This was probably due to Song Jin, who had prepared her mentally.

Waited for a while.

The maid went to invite the third uncle.

After taking the patient's pulse, the third uncle said that the patient was stimulated and his heart meridian might be injured, so he asked Qin Mingsong to go to the town to invite a doctor.

Then the third uncle went out without even prescribing any medicine. When he came out, he kept shaking his head and scolded Old Man Qin, telling him to worry less and not cause trouble all the time.

Qin Chi watched all this and couldn't help but smile slightly.

It's okay if your heart meridian is injured.

It was all worth Song Jin’s planning and the ingredients he ordered people to add to the medicine.
