Chapter 380: A Unique One

"Sister-in-law, do you want to push Jingyao into the fire pit?"

Mrs. Yan looked shocked.

Concubines in the Great Xia Dynasty could not be made legitimate wives.

Once she is accepted, it will be difficult for her to become the main wife. Mrs. Yan's idea was because she heard that Qin Chi's wife was really not presentable, so she planned to let Qin Qi'an divorce his wife and remarry.

Madam Wu knew that she had said the wrong thing, and quickly made amends, "What I meant was to hook Qin Qi'an's heart first, and he would find a way to deal with his wife at home. In any case, Yao'er would not be wronged."

"You take this for granted."

Madam Yan was angered by her sister-in-law's words. "Mother, anyway, I have brought my master's words to you and sister-in-law. I have been looking for Rong'er recently and will not get involved in anything. I advise you not to make any plans. It's not just Qin Qi'an who is targeting him."

"I know. There is also the Zhang family."

Madam Wu had heard her daughter mention it before, "That vixen tried to seduce Qin Qian'an a few days ago, and Yao'er happened to see it."

So she told the story of Zhang Yanzi again.

Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Yan were very disdainful of this.

Qin Chi had not previously let on the rumor that he was weak, and many families wanted to marry Qin Chi. Some of them had already tested the waters in front of the Qin family. However, because Qin Chi already had a wife and children, most of the daughters mentioned by those people were beautiful but not valued.

For example, Zhang Yanzi.

She is beautiful, but her status is not high.

The person who really runs the Zhang family is Minister Zhang.

Zhang Yanzi's father was not an official, but was in charge of the family business. Most of the money he earned had to be handed over to the family, so his status was not high. Generally, if a powerful or official family wanted to marry their son, they would not choose the second branch of the Zhang family.

If anyone else wanted to choose, they would choose the daughter of Minister Zhang.

Because Zhang Yanzi, the eldest daughter of the second wife, was not as popular in marriage as the concubine daughter of Minister Zhang. In other words, Second Master Zhang always wanted to marry into a wealthy family with his daughter's appearance.

This is what outsiders think of the Zhang family.

Whether this is actually the case remains to be seen.

The news that the second branch of the Zhang family had taken action against Ji Fang had not spread. If the Zhang family was really the power of the former crown prince, there would be many factors for them to get close to Qin Chi, but the women in the inner house of the Wu family could not know these inside stories. They all just thought that the second branch of the Zhang family wanted to get close to Qin Chi.

After all, Qin Chi is young and promising.

Not only does she have outstanding appearance and temperament, but she also has a high status.

At the same time, he came from a humble background and was the easiest to manipulate in the eyes of everyone.

Madam Wu said, "The Qin family's new house should hold a few banquets, and they should send out invitations by then."

“It’s hard to say.”

Madam Yan was unsure, "If we want to set up a banquet, my master should have received the invitation. He hasn't received it yet, so he probably won't set up the banquet."

Madam Wu frowned and said, "She didn't even prepare a banquet. This is really incompetent. Isn't she afraid of being laughed at by others?"

"She's just a country woman. She probably doesn't even know that others will laugh at her." Mrs. Wu looked down on Song Jin even more when she thought of her.

It's not just Mrs. Wu who thinks this way, many noble ladies feel this way.

It is also very important for the official career of the wife of an official to go out for social activities and make friends with other women of high status.

But Song Brocade stands out from the crowd.

She became an exception among the many ladies in the capital, which made the noble ladies in the capital despise Song brocade for being unpresentable, but at the same time, they couldn't help but envy it.

When Qin Chi was still a low-ranking official, Song Jin didn't have to go out to socialize or to please other noble ladies at banquets, unlike them who always had to please people of higher status than them for their husbands. Now Song Jin doesn't need to do that anymore, as Qin Qi'an has become a second-rank official.

It won't be long before Qin Chi will submit another memorial.

Song Jin will soon skip the third-rank lady and become a second-rank lady with imperial edict.

There are very few ladies in the capital who are of higher status than her and of the same age.

How can I not arouse jealousy?

At this time, Song Jin, who was being talked about, was moving to a new home with her children.

Niuniu came over and saw the beautiful new home. Her eyes sparkled and she raised her little head and asked, "Mom, the new home is so beautiful. Is it really mine?"

"Yes, it was a reward from His Majesty."

Song Jin replied with a warm smile.

Niuniu giggled and said, "Who is your majesty?"

"Your Majesty is the most honorable person in the world." Song Jin knew how old the child was and there were some things he should teach him, otherwise it would be troublesome if he took him out and offended the noble.

Niuniu smiled happily, "Your Majesty gave my family a house. He is a good person."

Song Jin smiled lightly, "Yes, he is a good person."

Since the house was a gift from Emperor Mingcheng, there was no need to worry about someone using it to cause trouble. Even for a second-rank official in the court, there were certain regulations on his house.

This house was once occupied by the prince.

If Qin Chi were to live there, some of the buildings would inevitably violate regulations. Old Li asked the craftsmen to cover them up a little so they would not be so obvious, and did not let them destroy the original layout.

It took only half an hour to arrive at the new home.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Niu Niu was almost having fun, running around the house, and soon disappeared.

Xiaoyu couldn't keep up.

Song Jin had no choice but to ask Qin Qi to look after it.

Song Jin was packing things in the house, and from time to time the giggling of a little girl could be heard outside.

Mu Ting was helping to clean up.

Song Jin asked again: "Mu Ting, where is Sanlang?"

"Not back yet." Mu Ting replied.

Song Jin asked again: "Have you sent him a message?"

"Yes, he did. He wrote to me yesterday. But I heard he went to the dock. I wonder if he can come back today."

"Oh, I see."

The house in Cuihua Hutong is small and cannot accommodate too many people.

Sanlang took the initiative to live in the Jifang Pharmacy in the west city with Doctor Jing and others. Recently, Xing Lun came to the capital and was on a boat at the dock. Sanlang went to help when he heard the news.

Qin Chi has had a lot of things going on recently.

I can't take care of him for the time being.

"Sister-in-law! I'm back!"

From a distance, I could tell it was Sanlang's voice.

Song Jin was stunned when he heard this, then he smiled and said, "This person is not easy to mention, and he comes back when he is mentioned. Fortunately, no one said bad things about him."

“It’s true.”

Mu Ting also laughed.

Song Jin got up and walked outside. When he went out, he saw Sanlang holding Niu Niu up high in the courtyard, making the little girl giggle and her little face turn red.

There was another person standing next to him.

It’s Xing Lun who doesn’t seem to be very conspicuous.

When he was young, Xing Lun's presence was not high. After years of experience outside, he seemed to be able to restrain his own aura if he wanted to, so it was easy for people to ignore him. But if you look closely, you will feel that he is not like a businessman, but like a scholar, elegant and calm.

In fact, he has been reading whenever he has free time these years.

He read not only books on the imperial examinations, but also a wide range of things.

I read all kinds of books, including astronomy and geography.

When I travel around the country, my only hobby is collecting all kinds of books.
