Chapter 230 It's really cold
After Song Jin brought the tea.
She retreated to sit next to Qin Chi and asked with concern: "Are you tired? If you are tired, go back to the dormitory and rest."
This was said in front of everyone.
It was said to be for Qin Chi to hear, but in fact it was also for other people to hear.
Qin Chi coughed at the right time.
The couple had a rare moment of tacit understanding. As expected, the other people were not fools. They understood the meaning instantly and asked Qin Chi to go down and rest.
"Dalang, when you recover, let's go to the provincial capital together." Qin Mingsong suddenly spoke.
Qin Chi asked, "What is my uncle doing in the provincial capital?"
"Nothing, I just happened to have some free time so I thought of accompanying you to the provincial examination."
Regardless of whether Qin Mingsong's words were believable or not, it was perfectly normal for elders to take the initiative to accompany younger generations to take the imperial examinations. On the contrary, it would be somewhat ungrateful for younger generations to refuse.
So Qin Chi smiled and said, "Okay, please take care of me when the time comes."
"No way, we are a family."
Qin Mingsong stood up and talked to Qin Chi.
Qin Chi was helped by Song Jin back to the dormitory.
Old Qin and his sons watched the two of them leave, feeling heavy-hearted. The cloud of Qin Chi's impending death always loomed over their hearts.
"The fourth brother and the eldest brother are studying in the capital. Can they find a royal doctor to take a look at them?" Qin Laosan said something that everyone thought was unrealistic.
"The imperial physician is in the palace to treat the nobles. How can it be the turn of ordinary people like us?"
When Old Man Qin said this, his eyes were looking at Qin Mingsong who was silent beside him.
Qin Mingsong clenched his fists to hide the jealousy in his heart, and said in a calm tone: "I am just an ordinary student in the capital. I am not as successful as Dalang. I heard that he even went to the palace to meet the emperor."
Everyone in the room was shocked when they heard this.
They didn't know that Qin Chi had been summoned by the emperor.
This is a matter of honor for the family! Telling it to others will also bring honor to the Qin family!
Compared with other people's reactions, only Li looked dazed. She walked out of the hall in a daze without even saying hello.
Everyone just thought that Li was sad.
The ecstatic old man Qin and his son were suddenly brought back to their original state.
What does it matter how great the honor is? To Qin Chi, it is just a passing cloud.
Everyone is mentally prepared.
But now that it's really the end, I can't help but feel sad.
Boss Qin thought for a moment and said, "Da Lang said he just caught a cold and will be better in a few days. Don't worry too much about his health."
"Brother, you don't need to comfort us. The doctor told us when Dalang was a child. We are prepared."
As he spoke this, Qin Laoer was almost wiping away tears.
Old Man Qin sighed, stood up and went out.
Then Qin Lao Er, Qin Lao San and others left with heavy hearts.
Boss Qin stretched out his hand to persuade him to stay, "Hey, don't go..."
"What's your name?"
Li appeared holding her granddaughter.
Boss Qin touched the back of his head and said with a simple smile: "Wife, I just want to tell them that if Dalang said it was just a cold, then it really is a cold."
"Come on, my son must have his own reasons for doing this, so don't ruin his plans." Li warned him in a low voice.
Boss Qin nodded repeatedly.
…
And the other side.
In the young couple's bedroom.
Song Jin handed the account book that Qin Yi had obtained to Qin Chi for review. "I have been back for two days. I wanted to return the account book to Qin Yi, but he said that I would keep it for now."
"Thank you for your hard work, my lady."
Qin Chi learned about what happened in Fuzhou on the way. "Just seeing the cold description in words made me break out in a cold sweat. The danger... Fortunately, my wife responded appropriately, otherwise, Qin Yi would not have come back alive."
"Lucky, lucky."
After Song Jin answered, he realized that his answer was a bit unfamiliar, and hurriedly said, "That's all thanks to the noble man from the capital."
Qin Chi continued as he flipped through the account book, "The other party is the eldest son of the princess, the Prince of Chu."
Under normal circumstances, only the eldest son of the emperor can be named a prince, but the current emperor favors the eldest princess. Of course, the eldest princess is indeed a powerful figure. She has given advice to the current emperor many times and has done many things that are beneficial to the people's livelihood.
Qin Chi looked tired.
Song Jin took the account book from his hand and said, "Let's not look at it for now. The most important thing right now is to recover from your illness."
Qin Chi smiled and nodded, "Then will you rest with me?"
Song Jin wanted to shake her head, but when she saw his gaze, she nodded involuntarily.
Helped Qin Chi to sleep on the bed.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Song Jin lay down beside him, put one hand on the back of his hand on his abdomen, and patted it gently. It was a very rhythmic pat, just like she had done to coax her son and daughter to sleep in the past two days.
Kids like it.
Generally, people can fall asleep soon.
But the person in front of him was Qin Chi.
He felt like every beat was hitting the tip of his heart.
"Madam, I want to tell you something seriously."
Qin Chi realized that he might have been overacting, so he decided to explain it as soon as possible. "I just camped outside for a night when I encountered the bandits, and I caught a cold by accident."
"Yes, I understand."
Song Jin's reaction was calm.
Qin Chi added: "Illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes like a thread being pulled out. I thought I had taken good care of myself over the years, but when I got sick I realized that it was just my assumption. Doctor Jing said that I had not taken good care of myself in the past two years and that I was overthinking."
"So you're not going to take part in the provincial examination?"
Song Jin's words made Qin Chi choke for a moment.
The lady's focus was different from what he thought.
Shouldn't she say that she would take good care of him in the future?
Qin Chi simply closed his eyes.
I didn't want to talk to her at this moment, for fear that she would be pissed off.
For several days, Qin Chi refused to see guests on the pretext of recuperating from illness, and the news of his imminent death spread as expected.
The person who came to inquire quickly reported the matter back to his master, but he didn't know that it was the other party's inquiry that allowed Qin Chi to find out who was plotting against him behind the scenes.
It’s really accurate every time you check it.
"Yuan Shipeng?"
Qin Chi pressed the secret letter on the table, "The eldest grandson of the Minister of Industry. He is returning to his hometown to participate in the provincial examination."
Shopkeeper Tao asked, "Sir, do you know this person?"
"We studied together in the Imperial College, how could we not know each other? He has some knowledge, but he is arrogant and often suppresses some poor students. He is an out-and-out, narrow-minded villain."
With Qin Chi's talent, he was a jealous person in the Imperial College. Yuan Shipeng also made trouble for Qin Chi, but Qin Chi was valued by the academic supervisor and other adults, so he could do nothing to Qin Chi.
What's more, Qin Chi has a clean private life.
He spends most of the year in the Imperial College, so it is impossible to find any loopholes to plot against him.
Shopkeeper Tao asked again: "How should we teach him a lesson?"
"Isn't the imperial examination what he cares about the most? Then just make him lose the qualification to take the exam." Qin Chi has never suffered a loss at the hands of anyone since he was a child.
He has never suffered any loss when it comes to his wife.
Then, Qin Chi whispered a few instructions to Shopkeeper Tao.
