Chapter 194 New Clues

Song Jin did not gain nothing today.

At least we know that Liu Jianfang's book was given to her by someone else, not from the Liu family.

Who sent the book to her?

After Song Jin returned home, he went straight into the study and took out the investigation materials related to Liu Jianfang, including the people who had dealings with the Liu family.

This survey is unmarried.

But according to the old woman guarding the gate, Liu Jianfang already had a fiancé, but she just didn't tell anyone about it.

Song Jin believed Qin Chi's investigation.

But he also believed what the old woman said, and when he asked about the origins of the letter and the medical book, Liu Jianfang's attitude was also strange.

Song Jin hid the doubts in his heart.

The next day.

Go to Liu's house again.

I finished the work at hand in the morning.

Song Jin came to the lounge again.

Liu Jianfang is not here today.

She came to the lounge to read a book, while Xiaoxi was sewing clothes with a needle and thread basket.

"You are a farm woman, why are you so eager to learn?"

Xiaoxi looked up at Song Jin who was reading a book, "No matter how hard you try, you can still prepare medicinal materials. Not everyone can be an ambassador of the Imperial Hospital like my young lady."

"I just want to learn more, so I can help adults." Song Jin said this very nicely.

Sure enough, Xiaoxi's face improved, "Okay, then you study hard."

Song Jin lowered his eyelids and asked casually, "There are so many medical books here! Miss Xiaoxi, did the adults collect all these?"

"Of course, these are all things Miss has learned."

Xiaoxi answered without thinking.

Song Jin added, "That lord is really amazing, but I wonder how he collected all that?"

"Some were given by the Liu family, some were bought, and some were given to me by others." Xiaoxi didn't think it was a secret, so she told it.

All the servants in the yard knew about it.

Song Jin came to Xiaoxi with a medical book in his hand and pretended to flip through it. "This ancient medical book is very old. Who gave it to me?"

"Oh, I remember this."

Xiaoxi actually still remembered this book, "It was sent by Young Master Liu."

"Hey, could he be your fiancé?" Song Jin asked in surprise.

Xiaoxi was startled and quickly covered her mouth. She looked outside the door again and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw no one. She warned in a low voice: "Don't mention the word fiancé in the yard. The young lady doesn't like Young Master Liu."

Song Jin wanted to say that you had already mentioned it.

Xiaoxi sat back down in self-deception, picked up the needle and thread and started sewing. She was no longer willing to talk to Song Jin, but Song Jin also quietly read the medical book.

I waited for a long time.

Song Jin recalled the investigation information. There were families with the surname Liu in the capital, but only a few of them were as powerful as the Liu family. Moreover, the information did not mention the Liu family as being on good terms with the Liu family.

This is another point that Song Jin is suspicious of.

Song Jin used to believe the investigation results given by Qin Chi, but now he hasn't even found out the person behind it, even Liu Jianfang's fiancé.

Just write that he is unmarried? It turns out that he is married, and his last name is Liu.

Then, among the Liu family’s connections, there was no family with the surname Liu.

Song Jin put the medical book back to the academy.

He sat down next to Xiaoxi and poured her a cup of tea.

Song Jin gossiped, "Miss Xiaoxi, which family in the capital with the surname Liu is worthy of you, my Lord? I have been here for so many days, and I have not heard of any outstanding eldest son of the Liu family."

"Not from the capital."

Xiaoxi drank the tea and glanced at the door again. "It's the Liu family of Jianning Prefecture, a local aristocratic family."

"It's so far. If you get married, won't you have to marry far away?" Song Jin pretended to be surprised.

Xiaoxi would never tell Song Jin these things before.

But after so long, she has already regarded Song Jin as her own, and someone her own young lady values.

So Xiaoxi started to complain, "That's right, I don't know what the master was thinking. He arranged this marriage for the young lady, far away from the capital. If anything goes wrong, it will be difficult for her to ask her parents for support."

After marrying far away, it becomes difficult to return to Beijing.

Judging from the fact that Liu Jianfang got the official position, she did not want to marry far away.

Even if she got married, she probably wouldn't want to accept her fate and go to Jianning Prefecture. You know, Jianning Prefecture is further south than Huizhou, and the sea is just beyond the other prefecture.

When Song Jin returned home from Liu's house, he met Old Man Hong at the door.

"Uncle Hong." Song Jin greeted him.

Old man Hong pursed his lips tightly and looked serious.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Song Jin had been in the capital for so long, but he rarely saw him. Every time he saw him, he had a cold face and he had never seen him smile.

"Madam, if you have any problems and need help, you can tell me. I have lived in the capital for most of my life, so I have some connections." Old man Hong noticed that Song Jin was acting abnormally in the past two days.

Old Li was holding a bowl of noodles.

He came out of the kitchen, eating with a slurp.

"Yes, Old Man Hong is still as good as ever. Madam will not honor him so early on behalf of the young master."

Old Li said happily.

Song Jin also noticed it at this time.

Old Man Hong’s identity may not be that simple.

So Song Jin went straight to the point and said, "I found the Song family's handwritten notes and medical books from Miss Liu, Liu Jianfang. I also found out that they were sent by the eldest young master of the Liu family in Jianning Mansion. It is said that the two are engaged."

Old Li's eyes suddenly widened. "How is that possible?"

"Why not?"

Song Jin looked at her puzzledly.

Old Li had also read the investigation materials. "Liu Jianfang has never been married. As for the relationship between the Liu family and the Liu family, we have not received any information here."

Song Jin said nothing.

But Old Man Hong said, "It should be just a verbal engagement. The Liu family has not yet made an offer of marriage."

The journey is long and it is not easy to propose marriage.

Perhaps both parties were not very satisfied with this marriage, but it happened that Liu Bingzheng had promised it.

This makes sense as Liu Jianfang was seventeen years old and had yet to seek marriage through a matchmaker.

Old Li took another big mouthful of noodles and said, "What has Chi Wanhua been doing in Beijing these years? His subordinates are useless and can't even investigate such a small matter."

Old Man Hong knows who Chi Wanhua is.

He was the shopkeeper of Shunan Merchants’ branch in Beijing.

He has a group of people under him who collect various information from the capital.

But it has only been developed for a few years, so it is good enough to be able to find these.

In fact, Song Jin didn't mean to blame the other party.

So she changed the subject: "Uncle Li, do you have any news about the Liu family in Jianning Prefecture? Especially about the eldest young master Liu. I want to find out where he got the medical books and notes from the Song family."

"We need to send a message to Jianning Prefecture and ask them to investigate. Madam, you know that Jianning is even farther away than Huizhou. It will take a month just for the message to come back and forth."

Old Li first gave Song Jin a reminder.

Song Jin was anxious, but he knew that this matter could not be rushed. "I know, and I can wait."

After searching for more than ten years in the previous life, plus this life, what else can he do? Therefore, Song Jin's mentality is much more stable than the two expected.
