Chapter 235 After the Provincial Examination

Go back to the rented house.

Meng Qingrui and the other two took the lead in bathing and eating, and then slept soundly.

Qin Chi was similar, and he even met Old Li before going to bed.

Qin Chi was still inexplicably unhappy when he learned that Qin Mingsong had met Song Jin and had a private chat with him for a short while, and that the chat was under the noses of his people.

His eyes are not blind.

The Soong sisters had different attitudes towards their uncle.

He was also involved in the fight for the marriage.

He is the one who is disliked.

"It's a good thing I was disliked..."

Qin Chi murmured.

When he said this, he unconsciously raised the corners of his lips.

"Sir, what is he doing?"

Old Li doubted Qin Mingsong's intentions.

Qin Chi found an excuse for Qin Mingsong, "At the beginning, he secretly signed a marriage certificate with Bai Cuiwei, but it was ruined by my wife, who also forced him to take a concubine, so he probably had a grudge against her."

"That happened eight hundred years ago."

Old Li was skeptical.

So he asked whether we should take precautions before it happens.

Qin Chi added: "Just be on guard against him. I know my uncle a little bit. He has been good at scheming and playing tricks since he was a child. He seems to be honest but is actually hypocritical. These are not shortcomings in my eyes. As long as he doesn't hurt others, it's harmless."

"Hasn't he ever done any harm to anyone?"

"So far, my uncle has only caused trouble to his family. As for the rest of the family, there is nothing wrong with him. My family is supporting my uncle's studies, but it is not without benefit."

Qin Chi was concerned about Qin Mingsong's trick on him since he was a child.

Qin Chi has not taken it to heart over the years.

He has the support of his maternal grandparents behind him. Qin Chi didn't want the resources of the old Qin family in the first place, so his uncle could take them away if he wanted.

Qin Mingsong never knew.

It was precisely because he was too calculating, and especially because he schemed against his own nephew, that he missed out on more.

Qin Chi doesn't care about his intentions, but he won't help him.

You have to know that the teachers who taught Qin Chi since childhood were all carefully selected by his grandfather and uncle, and their knowledge and character were first-class. If Qin Mingsong had been good to Qin Chi since he was young, the things that slipped out of Qin Chi's fingers alone would be enough for Qin Mingsong to work less for ten years.

Qin Mingsong is like throwing away the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds.

Qin Mingsong doesn’t know this yet.

If the life stories of Li and Qin Chi are exposed in the future, they will feel regret for the rest of their lives.

Then Qin Chi asked again: "How is Yuan Shipeng?"

"He's still in jail."

Old Li chuckled, "That kid hasn't realized how serious the consequences are. He's bullying his way through prison, waiting for his grandfather, the Shangshu, to come and rescue him."

"Stupid."

Qin Chi already knew that Yuan Shipeng was not a very smart person. "I guess Minister Yuan is also very worried now. How this matter will be resolved depends on the mood of the emperor."

Old Li laughed and said, "This is a jerk!"

Just as the two had guessed.

Now the Yuan family in the capital wished that Yuan Shipeng had never been born. He had caused such a huge disaster that he even wrote to them asking them to save him. As a result, the Yuan family expelled Yuan Shipeng from the family that day and announced to the public that he was no longer a member of the Yuan family.

Abandon it very decisively.

No one was even arranged to investigate.

However, this piece of news has not yet reached the provincial capital due to the long distance.

“Knock knock.”

There was a knock on the door, neither lightly nor heavily.

Qin Chi asked: "Who is it?"

"Husband, I just made some ginseng tea and brought it to you." Song Jin's gentle voice sounded outside the door.

Qin Chi stood up and spoke.

When Song Jin came in, he saw Old Li and asked, "Did I interrupt your conversation?"

"No, no." Old Li denied it.

So, under Qin Chi's gaze, he tactfully left.

Qin Chi took the ginseng tea handed over by Song Jin, put it on the tea table beside him, and then pulled her to sit down. "Thank you for your hard work these days. Without you to keep an eye on things, I might have gotten into trouble."

"That's an exaggeration." Song Jin pursed his lips and smiled.

"That's not an exaggeration. Think about that bowl of poisonous mushroom soup. If I had drunk it, I would have missed the exam even if I didn't die."

Qin Chi's people are also investigating the mushroom matter.

It turned out that the cook went to the market to buy vegetables as usual, and bought some fresh mushrooms when she saw them.

The process is very simple.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

No suspicious points were found during the investigation of the cook.

Qin Chi was like Song Jin at first, not believing that it was an accident, and suspected that Yuan Shipeng was behind it, but outside the Imperial Examination Hall, Yuan Shipeng saw him in a rage, obviously not knowing that he would come to participate in the provincial examination. Therefore, after repeated investigations, it was found that it was indeed just an accident.

Only because of Song Jin's carefulness, the disaster was avoided.

Sometimes Qin Chi doesn't believe in metaphysics.

But after marrying Song Jin, he began to believe it a little, "My wife might really be like what the old blind man said, a blessed person, who brings great luck to me, her husband."

Song Jin knew that he just needed to listen to this.

Don't take it seriously.

It makes people feel good after listening to it.

After Qin Chi drank the ginseng tea, he went back to the house to rest.

Song Jin followed him back to the dormitory and made the bed. She knew that she would never be a good wife or a good mother in this life, but she would do her part to the best of her ability.

"Sir, do you want to wait until the results are announced and go home, or..."

Song Jin stood behind Qin Chi and helped him take off his coat.

Then, Qin Chi sat on the edge of the bed and took off his shoes. "If nothing unexpected happens this time, I will be on the list and will attend the Luming Feast."

The Lu Ming Banquet was a banquet stipulated in the imperial examination system.

On the day after the announcement of the results of the provincial examination, a banquet was held to entertain the new candidates and the officials in charge of the inner and outer curtains, and the "Deer Singing" chapter from the "Book of Songs" was sung, so it was called the Deer Singing Banquet.

If Qin Chi passes the exam, he will definitely attend.

Being absent will be detrimental to your career.

Qin Chi held Song Jin's hand and said, "Let Dad and Second Uncle go back first, and I'll take you to the provincial capital for a few days, okay?"

The time for announcing the results of the provincial examination is not fixed.

Sometimes it's fast, sometimes it's slow, usually in early to mid-September.

But it will be at least half a month later.

If he went back to Qinjiagou, it would take a lot of time to go back and forth, so it would be better to stay here. Qin Mingsong stayed in the provincial capital at the beginning, attended the Luming Banquet, and then went back to the prefectural capital. It took some time before he returned to Qinjiagou.

Song Jin didn't believe that he was just playing for a few days.

Since he said so, she just cooperated.

A night passed.

The next morning, after breakfast.

Qin Chi told his decision to Qin Lao Da and Qin Lao Er. He did not force them to go back, and the choice was still up to them.

Although Qin Lao Da and Qin Lao Er also wanted to check the list as soon as possible, they were hesitant to wait here for such a long time.

Finally, both decided to go home.

When asked about Qin Mingsong, his decision was just as Qin Chi expected, "After the Luming Banquet, I will go directly to the capital to participate in the imperial examination next year."

Immediately, he asked again: "Will Dalang participate next year?"

Qin Chi nodded calmly.
