Chapter 196: Jianning Mansion Liu Family
The wife of Yang Lingyu, the prefect of Huizhou, was surnamed Liu and was from the Liu family of Jianning. This news reached Song Jin's ears the next day.
Song Jin wished he could cut Yang Lingyu into pieces.
This person was involved in the misfortunes of the Song family in past and present lives, but at this moment, she cannot touch him because of the backer Yang Ge Lao behind him.
It is very difficult to eradicate the Yang family and the Liu family, as well as the forces that are in collusion with them.
To use a metaphor, the Yang family is a towering tree, and Song Jin at this time is like the grass on the roadside.
With such weak ability, it will take time to dig down the big tree.
It took Song Jin several days to calm down.
One day.
Song Jin finished his work.
Just when I was getting ready to go home.
Xiaoxi came and said, "Madam Qin, my young lady wants to see you."
"What do you want from me, sir?"
Song Jin put down the cloth he was using to wipe his hands.
Xiao Xi pursed her lips and said, "How would I know what the young lady is thinking? She is not as favored as Sister Xiao Huan."
"Really? I see that Mistress values you very much. You should know how important this pharmacy is to Mistress. She has given it to you to manage."
Song Jin's words touched Xiaoxi's heart.
Xiaoxi smiled and led Song Jin to the study.
Liu Jianfang was writing furiously in the study, with a slightly tired look between his brows. He stopped writing when he saw Song Jin come in.
"Madam Qin, do you want to come with me to work in the Imperial Hospital?"
"this……"
Song Jin showed some hesitation.
After a while, she politely declined: "My parents-in-law asked me to come to Beijing to take care of my husband's daily life. When he is not at home, I can take on some odd jobs. If..."
There is no need to say more.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry for letting you down." Song Jin said apologetically and sincerely.
Liu Jianfang had expected this and was not too disappointed.
All women in the world regard their husbands as their gods and take pride in being good wives and mothers. However, very few of them can control their own destiny like men.
Liu Jianfang said: "If you change your mind in the future, come find me again."
"Thank you, sir."
Song Jin took his leave gratefully.
Left Liu Mansion.
On the way back, Song Jin also figured it out.
Go with her to the Imperial Hospital?
Then naturally she would work for Liu Jianfang. She wanted to train her own people. Obviously, Liu Jianfang's work in the Imperial Hospital was not so smooth.
Time just passes by like this.
The days are calm.
In a month, Song Jin would spend half a month preparing medicinal materials for Liu Jianfang.
When encountering some medicinal materials that take a long time to prepare, Song Jin would take them back home to prepare them, and Liu Jianfang didn't say anything about it.
If it weren't for the suspected enemy.
It is a blessing to meet such a host.
Behind the scenes, Song Jin asked someone to investigate the Yang family members.
It’s not about investigating big figures like Yang Ge Lao.
Because if these people are investigated a little, they may be discovered.
Instead, he went to investigate Yang Ge Lao's relatives.
As long as someone makes a mistake, all the evidence will be collected, regardless of how big or small it is.
Qin Chi came back from vacation again. When he learned about Song Jin's decision, he said to Old Li, "Uncle Li, do as Madam ordered. A thousand-mile embankment is destroyed by an ant hole. Collect them. Maybe they can be used in the future."
Old Li responded with a yes.
Among the members of the Yang family, there are not many who have ever bullied others by taking advantage of their power.
This is not unique to the Yang family.
Those powerful and influential families are bound to have a few bad apples.
Song Jin came to the study and just heard Qin Chi instructing old man Li. He knocked on the door with a smile.
The study door was not closed.
Knocking on the door is purely a reminder.
Qin Chi looked up at Song Jin, then at the bowl of soup in her hand, "My wife is here?"
"I made some soup to nourish you."
Song Jin came in with a bowl of soup.
Old Li tactfully retreated.
Qin Chi took the soup bowl and put it on the table next to him. He then took Song Jin's hand and sat down together. "There is information coming from the Liu family."
Pull out a booklet from the desk.
Qin Chi handed it to Song Jin to read. "This is just some superficial information. If you want to dig deeper, it will take some time. There will be more news in the future."
This time, only the public information about Jianning Liu family was brought in.
Song Jin opened it and read it.
The Liu family of Jianning has been a wealthy family for generations, and their accumulated wealth should be huge, but no one dares to take advantage of the Liu family, because it is said that the Liu family has a strong backer. In addition, the Liu family builds bridges and roads, builds temples, makes regular donations, and repairs charity halls every year.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
It is a famous family of good deeds in Jianning Prefecture.
To sum it up in one sentence, the Liu family is very powerful in Jianning Prefecture.
It's almost like a monopoly.
Other forces have to act according to the Liu family's instructions.
Song Jin read the information about the Liu family and then looked at the information about the eldest son of the Liu family.
"Liu Ji, courtesy name Hongmao, 19 years old, has he passed the imperial examination?"
Song Jin thought back to his past life.
I always feel that this name is somewhat familiar.
I didn't think about it for a while.
The status of merchants in this dynasty was gradually improving, and they could also participate in the imperial examinations.
Liu Ji was able to pass the imperial examination at the age of nineteen and was considered a young talent.
Qin Chi said: "Liu Ji also participated in the February examination, but failed. At that time, he stayed in the Liu family's villa."
This also proves that Liu Ji and the Liu family are indeed related.
Song Jin closed the booklet. "Is he ugly? Otherwise, why would Liu Jianfang be dissatisfied with him?"
"No, on the contrary, he is very good-looking. He is known as a talented and romantic man in the local area and often visits brothels and elegant halls."
There are many scholars like Liu Ji in our dynasty.
So he was not conspicuous.
Qin Chi pondered for a moment and said, "Liu Jianfang doesn't like him. His philandering is secondary. Another reason is probably that he can't satisfy Liu Jianfang's ambition. Madam should know that she often goes in and out of the palace and has seen many noble children. Compared with them, Liu Ji is too ordinary."
"Are you saying that Liu Jianfang is greedy for power and wealth?"
Song Jin suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Qin Chi.
The surprise in his eyes was obvious.
During these days of getting to know Liu Jianfang, apart from those medical books and letters, she still admired the way Liu Jianfang handled things, which was tactful and generous.
If you weren't on the opposite side.
Song Jinhui would be happy to make friends with Liu Jianfang.
Qin Chi finished his soup and gently put the bowl down. This simple action was really pleasing to the eye. "My wife, if she didn't have ambition, she wouldn't have accepted the position of the herbal medicine store."
Being a female doctor has no real power.
Managing a medicine storehouse, especially as a woman, no one would believe that she has no ambition.
"Her job is a lucrative one."
Qin Chi smiled and pointed out, "It's only been half a year since I took the position, and it's almost stable now."
Song Jin didn't say anything else.
People have many faces, and things have many appearances.
She understands this principle.
No more words were said.
Song Jin read the Liu family's information again.
Finally, the focus is on the good deeds done by the Liu family.
"The Liu family loves to build things, either roads or bridges, either temples or charity houses..." Song Jin has seen the good things done by the Liu family.
Watching and muttering.
"Apart from the regular donations every year, the rest is just building this or that."
Hearing her mumbling, Qin Chi seemed to be thinking about something.
