Chapter 179: Pretend to Obey, But Disobey

Three more days passed.

Several major events happened in Qinjiagou, all of which were related to Qin Juren's family. One was that Qin Mingsong failed the imperial examination, and the other was that his concubine Bai died of illness.

"Died of illness? Didn't he retire?"

Song Jin was disgusted when he heard the news.

Qin Chi also had a grim expression on his face. "I sent her away last night. I told everyone that I would not hold a funeral for my concubine. I just sent her to the mountains and dug a grave to bury her."

If a person fakes his death once, he can fake his death a second time.

The moves don't have to be new, as long as they are useful.

Song Jin sneered, "You're trying to clear your name by dying. After all this detour, you're Qin Mingsong's mistress again?"

"My lady guessed it right."

Qin Chi couldn't understand it either.

Isn't it good to live with a legitimate reason? Qin Chi did not expose it in public.

The reason is that this move was not Qin Mingsong's idea.

Bai Cuiwei was determined to escape and didn't want to live with the name of a divorced concubine.

At that time, Song Jin took action to bring people into the Qin family, using Bai Cuiwei's original household registration. Qin Mingsong asked the village chief to issue a certificate, and then went to the government office to delete the record of taking a concubine.

When the Bai family announced that Bai Cuiwei had passed away, they changed her household registration from the daughter of Bai Daru to the daughter of an ordinary family in a side branch.

Just came in handy.

Qin Chi thought of the new investigation, "After leaving Qinjiagou, the people lived in Baiyun Temple."

When Qin Chi mentioned this, his expression darkened, and a fierce look flashed across his eyes. "My dear, do you want to kill them all? But if Bai Cuiwei dies, it will solve the problem for my uncle. I am not happy about it."

Song Jin was originally thinking about this.

Come to think of it, it’s true.

At this time, Bai Cuiwei was like chicken ribs to Qin Mingsong.

It's tasteless to eat, but it's a pity to throw it away.

Song Jin thought for a moment and said, "Just wait and see. We will leave Qinjiagou tomorrow."

After Boss Qin came back, Qin Chi decided to move.

However, after returning from a long and tiring journey, as a son, he still considerately let his old father rest for a few days.

The new house has been cleaned.

The next day.

Two horse-drawn carriages and a mule-drawn cart.

Slowly left Qinjiagou.

With such a big commotion, everyone in the village knew about it immediately.

Boss Qin and his family are moving to the city.

It is said that Qin Chi found a job as a teacher in the identity of a scholar.

I earn eight taels of silver every month.

Enough for a family’s expenses in the city.

Outsiders thought they moved to the county town, but in fact, the eldest family moved to Hongcun Town.

Hongcun Town is located at the southwestern foot of Huangshan Mountain.

A picturesque place, like a paradise.

At first, Qin Chi wanted to move to the county town, but Li disagreed. After discussion, they changed the location to Hongcun Town.

The place Qin Chi chose to stay was not too far from Qinjiagou and he could make a round trip by carriage in one morning.

When Song Jin left the village, he saw Song Xiu.

Song Xiu stood under the locust tree at the entrance of the village, looking in the direction of the carriage, but did not go closer.

Mrs. Li noticed Song Jin's gaze and said, "With Mrs. Bai no longer in the old house and the second wife moving out, it's suddenly quiet. Your sister should be living a more comfortable life."

"Perhaps."

Song Jin found it hard to imagine that Song Xiu would not make a fuss.

Bai Cuiwei just left, she didn't really die.

In fact, she lived a comfortable life, and Song Xiu was not really jealous of Song Jin. In her mind, Qin Chi, that sickly boy, was at best a teacher, and was far inferior to Qin Mingsong, who had become a juren.

This time the big house is moving.

Qin Lao Er and Qin Lao San came to help and insisted on sending the eldest family to their new home.

Boss Qin knew what the fourth branch had done and was very angry, but he would not vent his anger on his other brothers.

When his brother said he wanted to come and see him off, he naturally agreed.

He agreed, and Qin Chi and Song Jin didn't care.

What’s more, the broken bones are connected with tendons.

The relationship among the three brothers has always been deep, and Qin Lao Er and Qin Lao San came along with the intention of getting to know each other.

Two carriages at this time.

One car held the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the twins, and Xiaoyu.

The one driving was Boss Qin.

The other one is Qin Chi.

There were some more boxes and cages placed in the carriage.

Qin Lao Er and Qin Lao San both sat on the shaft of the cart and took turns driving.

The mule cart was loaded with the eldest wife’s belongings.

Old Li and Mrs. Huang were both sitting on the mule cart.

There was a big man on horseback following in the distance. It was that guy, Old Huo, who was following them blatantly.

The car was not going fast.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

It took nearly two hours to walk.

Finally, the new house arrived.

The large mansion is built along the quiet alley.

Qin Lao Er and Qin Lao San were stunned when they saw the carriage stopped in front of the gate.

There is a plaque hanging above the tall gate tower and there are stone lions in front of the gate.

It's obvious that this house belongs to a wealthy family.

"Brother, is this your new house?"

Qin Lao Er asked stutteringly.

Boss Qin raised his head and glanced at the gatehouse. "Da Lang said he was just staying here for a while, it's not mine."

"It turns out that I'm just staying here temporarily."

Now the two brothers calmed down.

Qin Chi smiled and said, "This house belongs to the second young master of the county magistrate's family. He said that the house is just sitting there, so he lent it to my family for a while, and we don't have to pay rent."

"Da Lang is still capable." Qin Lao San praised.

Qin Lao Er kept nodding.

Everyone carried their things into the house.

Song Jin got out of the car holding the child.

Li also went in with her child.

When you arrive at a new residence, the first thing you need to do is to get familiar with your new home, so naturally you have to take a tour of the house.

Crossing the threshold is the spacious lobby.

The exquisite wood carvings on the beams are lifelike.

Behind the front hall is a courtyard with several entrances and exits. Each entrance is separated by a screen wall. The wall is inlaid with tile paintings with patterns of mountains, rivers, flowers and birds.

The side rooms on both sides and the winding corridors connect the courtyards.

There are rockeries and stone forests in the backyard, and lotus leaves in the pond.

There are several old trees in the corner with lush branches and leaves, and the scenery is elegant.

After Song Jin visited the place, he immediately fell in love with it.

Looking back, she found that only Qin Chi was following her, so she asked, "Husband, is it okay to live here?"

"What's the problem?"

Qin Chi said with a smile, "My lady, just live here peacefully."

Song Jin glanced at him and said, "I'm asking you, aren't you afraid of attracting attention by being so ostentatious?"

"It's an old house, and we're renting it, so it's not very conspicuous, right?" Qin Chi said leisurely, "Don't you want to live more comfortably?"

If he guessed correctly.

Before marrying him, Song Jin also lived a life of luxury.

In fact, he was surprised too.

Since coming to Qinjiagou, Song Jin has been able to adapt well and transitioned quickly from a life of wealth to poverty, and the same is true for Song Xiu.

It was a little weirdly fast.

But Qin Chi did not think deeply about this question.

It can only be attributed to the Song family’s extraordinary family education.

Song Jin looked around the backyard and replied indifferently, "You can live in a good place. Who wants to live in a shabby room? Unless you have no choice."

Since Qin Chi himself is not worried, she will not worry about him.
