Chapter 41 I won't bother you tonight
The next day.
Both Old Liu and Song Xiu used illness as an excuse and did not leave the house.
Three meals a day are delivered to the room.
The news of Old Liu's fainting had spread throughout the village.
Several women from the clan came to visit, bringing eggs or brown sugar, and were received by Xiao Liu and Lin.
Song Jin was just showing his face for show.
It took less than half a quarter of an hour.
This is done to prevent people from finding fault.
After all, as a granddaughter-in-law, if Song Jin didn't go to see her elder who was sick and bedridden at home, she would inevitably be criticized.
Qin Chi disappeared early in the morning.
It was said that he went to water the medicinal fields with several strong laborers in his family. Of course, Qin Chi was only going for a stroll, not to do the heavy work of carrying water.
When they came back, they went to the thatched hut in the backyard and brought Erlang and Sanlang with them to make Hui ink.
Song Jin came out of the main house and went to find Li.
Li was embroidering a picture of Guanyin delivering a child, and she actually used double-sided embroidery, which made the picture look lifelike.
Song Jin learned embroidery, but her skills were not very good.
She has always admired people with special skills. It's just a pity that such a person will die next year.
Song Jin hoped that she could get pregnant as soon as possible, so that at least Li would have a grandson or granddaughter and would not be overly sad after Qin Chi's death.
As long as nothing happens to the Li family, Boss Qin will not disappear.
It was a rare peaceful morning.
In the afternoon, Qin Lao Da harnessed the carriage and took the couple to the county town.
It was already evening when we arrived at the county town.
Boss Qin hurried back to Qinjiagou.
Mrs. Huang came over and helped to clean up. She also boiled a large pot of hot water. Song Jin took a comfortable bath, and then it was Qin Chi's turn.
When Song Jin just lay down on the bed to rest.
The door was pushed open from the outside.
Song Jin was surprised: "Aren't you going to sleep in the west wing tonight?"
Since Qin Chi decided to take part in the county exam, he has been staying in the west wing most of the nights. The county exam is only a few days away, shouldn't he live there?
"I'm not reading tonight."
Qin Chi didn't tell her that he stayed in the west wing because he read too late and was afraid of disturbing her if he went back to his room.
After taking off his shoes and getting on the bed, Qin Chi lay down on his side, naturally stretching out his arms and holding the soft and fragrant person in his arms.
Seeing that her body was stiff, he patted her back gently as if to comfort her.
"Go to bed early. I won't bother you tonight."
"oh."
Song Jin really didn't have that intention.
Finding a comfortable sleeping position in his arms, Song Jin closed his eyes and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Qin Chi felt mixed emotions when he heard her even breathing.
He actually slept like this. He is so careless.
Late at night, there was a knock on the door.
There was a rapid knock on the door, and it was obvious that something had happened.
Qin Chi didn't want to wake Song Jin up by knocking on the door, so he pulled the quilt up to cover her ears. He then quietly got out of bed and walked out wearing a coat.
The knocking on the door had stopped.
As Qin Chi approached the gate, he heard a conversation outside.
"Who are you? Why are you knocking on this door?"
The person asking the questions was Lao Huo.
The answer came from an anxious voice of a strange woman, "Sorry to bother you guys next door. I'm here to see... I'm here to see Madam Song for something urgent."
Squeak.
The door opens.
Under the moonlight, Qin Chi stood in front of the door.
Qin Chi recognized the man at a glance, "Are you the shopkeeper Jin from Jifang Pharmacy?"
"Yes."
When Jin Ling saw Qin Chi again, her heart tightened a little. She remembered that the young lady said that he didn't know her identity or background, and just thought she had found a job in the pharmacy.
If it weren't for an emergency.
Jin Ling would not come here to look for someone rashly.
Qin Chi asked, "Come in."
"well."
Jin Ling went in hurriedly.
Zhou's father stayed outside guarding the carriage.
There was a lantern hanging on the carriage.
The light shone on Zhou's father's face, and he looked haggard. This must be something big that happened.
Qin Chi brought Jin Ling to the hall.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Then, Qin Chi lifted the wick of the lamp, and the hall suddenly became much brighter.
At this time, Qin Chi did not go to the east wing to wake up Song Jin.
Qin Chi said calmly, "My wife just fell asleep. What urgent matter do you have? Can you tell me about it?"
"this……"
Jin Ling didn't expect Qin Chi to make this request.
But she couldn't blame Qin Chi for anything. After all, Qin Chi was Song Jin's husband. It was normal for him to ask questions when a stranger came to see his wife late at night.
If you don't ask anything, that would be suspicious.
Jin Ling hesitated for a long time, then gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, something happened in the medicine shop. Two managers were framed and imprisoned. I came here to ask Madam Song if there is any way to save them."
"What's the name of the person in the accident?"
Qin Chi thought that he had only been back in Qinjiagou for one day when something happened at Jifang Pharmacy.
Jin Ling thought about it and felt that there was nothing to hide. "It was my son Zhou Wei and the son of the second owner of the medicine shop, Xing Lun. When they went to collect medicinal herbs, they were framed and stolen."
As soon as I heard about this, I knew someone was up to something.
Qin Chi knew those two people.
Qin Chi knew the origins of everyone in Jifang Pharmacy, even the little medicine boy.
"You haven't communicated with the people in the government office?" Qin Chi suspected that they had communicated but couldn't find a way.
As expected, Jin Ling said tiredly, "We've been running around all day, and we can't even get into the government office. We spent some money, but we only found out that someone is plotting against us."
"Is it directed at you? Or my wife?"
Qin Chi's sudden question made Jin Ling look alert.
Jin Ling found that Qin Chi had an open face and clear eyes, so she had to tell him what she had learned, "The other party said that someone paid to clean up the Jifang Pharmacy and wanted us to be unable to stay in Yi County."
Hearing this, Qin Chi began to think.
After a moment, Qin Chi said, "You go back first. I will talk to my wife about this tomorrow morning. There is no point in waking her up now. The government office is not open at night. It will only make my wife worry for another night for nothing."
Jin Ling was speechless.
They came to Song Jin to discuss the matter late at night because they really had no other options.
After all, Song Jin is their backbone.
When they encounter such things and cannot solve them, they will subconsciously think of Song Jin, thinking that if they tell her, the problem can be solved.
Qin Chi stopped him.
Jin Ling and Zhou's father had to return empty-handed.
But they didn’t know that after they left, Qin Chi immediately called someone to investigate the matter.
At the same time, Qin Chi did not return to the east wing.
Just stay in the west wing and rest.
Before dawn, he received the investigation results sent by Lao Huo through the secret door.
Early in the morning, the soft sunlight penetrated the morning mist and sprinkled on the earth like silk, gently awakening the sleeping world, including Song Jin who woke up from his dream.
When Song Jin got up, Qin Chi was gone.
After getting dressed and washing up, I left the room.
I saw Qin Chi, who was neatly dressed, in the hall.
Seeing her coming out, Qin Chi ordered Mrs. Huang to serve breakfast.
"Come and eat." Qin Chi set the table.
Song Jin sat down and asked, "You got up early?"
