Chapter 45 Food
When Qin Chi saw Song Jin again, he noticed that her temperament had changed, but he couldn't tell exactly how.
Just knowing that something is different.
"Madam, is this all you eat for lunch?" Qin Chi's eyes fell on the food on the table.
I only ate half of the lily and lotus seed soup.
Song Jin said calmly: "I just don't have an appetite for the time being."
Qin Chi picked up the lotus seed soup and slowly handed it to Song Jin. His voice was calm but unquestionable: "No matter what happens, you should take care of your health first."
Song Jin looked at the lily and lotus seed soup handed to him.
She really has no appetite now.
However, seeing Qin Chi's attitude, Song Jin still stretched out his slender white hand, took the lotus seed soup, put it into his mouth one mouthful after another, and then swallowed it slowly.
Until she took the last bite.
Qin Chi took the empty bowl from her hand.
After eating the cold tortillas and side dishes on the table, Song Jin sat aside and looked at Qin Chi intently, feeling an inexplicable strangeness in his heart.
"Madam, do you need my help with the pharmacy?" Qin Chi asked after putting down his bowl and chopsticks.
Song Jin uttered a soft "oh" and then frowned, "It shouldn't be necessary. The person has been released. However, I want to go to the temple to fast for a few days and pray for my husband to pass the imperial examination."
Qin Chi is going to take part in the county examination.
This was just the first step for a scholar, and it was still far from the so-called high school entrance examination. However, Song Jin used this as an excuse to leave for a few days, and Qin Chi really couldn't stop him. In the homes of scholars in Huizhou, many people went to the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings on the days of the imperial examinations.
As Qin Chi's wife, it's not surprising that Song Jin has such thoughts. Even if outsiders know about it, they will just think that Song Jin has good intentions and is going out openly for a few days, which will not affect her reputation.
Qin Chi did not agree, but asked: "Which temple do you want to go to, my lady?"
"Some years ago, Master Pumen came to Huangshan and built the Fahai Temple, which was then expanded to the Huguo Ciguang Temple. I haven't been there yet..."
Song Jin thought of all the reasons he could think of.
No wonder Qin Chi asked this question.
In the old days, Huangshan was inaccessible and few tourists visited it. During the Qin and Han dynasties, the only person who lived in seclusion in Huangshan was Chen Ye, the governor of Kuaiji.
It was not until the Tang and Song dynasties that Huangshan gradually became known to the world. As celebrities lived in seclusion and religions were introduced, more and more temples and palaces were built on the mountain.
Since the arrival of Zen Master Pumen here, monks from all over the world have come here to worship the temple, and the temple has become more prosperous than ever before.
Song Jin didn't believe in ghosts and gods before.
Then she and Song Xiu were reborn, and Song Jin began to believe it again.
It just goes to show what a certain nonsense saying is: if you believe it, it exists; if you don’t believe it, it doesn’t exist.
Of course, Song Jin's purpose in proposing to burn incense and fast was not to believe in Buddhism, but to use this opportunity to get away for a few days.
Qin Chi lowered his eyelids, "I'm worried about my wife going alone."
"Shopkeeper Jin and Shopkeeper Yin will also be there. Their son was in great trouble this time, but luckily, the Buddha blessed him and he escaped unharmed. The two of them are going to the temple to burn some incense."
Song Jin was afraid that Qin Chi would stop him, so he pulled Jin Ling and Yin Long out to block him.
Qin Chi thought, if he hadn’t found someone to solve the problem, he would have almost believed in Buddha’s blessing.
"Madam, have you made up your mind?"
"Well, I feel relieved to have Mrs. Huang taking care of you." Song Jin said again without thinking seriously.
In fact, after arriving in the county town, Song Jin rarely cared about Qin Chi's affairs.
Qin Chi couldn't stop him now, he could only say something like be careful on the road, go early and come back early, etc.
Song Jin immediately packed up his clothes and went to find Old Li next door, and took a mule cart to Jifang Pharmacy. Jin Ling and Yin Long were not there, but there were two medicine boys busy in the backyard. Song Jin asked them to collect the medicine and gave them a day off.
Then, Song Jin went to Yinlong's pharmacy.
When he came out again, he was wearing a short men's suit and a straw hat.
The chest is flat, probably because of a breast binder.
The fair cheeks, neck, hands, and all the exposed skin were smeared with some herbal juice by Song Jin, making them look not so white.
Draw thick eyebrows and add freckles on the cheeks.
When walking outside, taking bigger steps, bending down and lowering your head humbly, you will look like 70% of ordinary people.
At first glance, it is difficult for outsiders to recognize that she is a woman.
If Qin Chi saw Song Jin passing by at this time, he might not recognize her.
This time, Song Jin was heading towards the county government office.
When leaving the yamen, Song Jin hid his whereabouts.
He hid in an alley until the officials from the yamen returned home.
Song Jin recognized one of them.
He is of medium build, with broad shoulders, a thick waist and nine fingers.
The official's name was Huang Bingliang.
He was originally a lazy man, but later, through some unknown means, he became an official in Yi County.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
It was this person who was bribed by Mr. Zeng and wanted to kill Xing Lun and Zhou Wei.
I followed Huang Bingliang for a while and saw that he didn't do anything and didn't see anyone, so I went straight home.
Song Jin did not take action, but walked around the area.
Before dark, Song Jin returned to the pharmacy.
In her previous life, Song Jin's business grew bigger and bigger. Although she had never killed anyone with her own hands, she had her hands stained with blood. But at that time, she had a group of loyal subordinates. Many people did this kind of thing for her. Now there was no other way, she had to do it herself.
"Boss?"
A surprised voice sounded when Song Jin stepped into the backyard.
Song Jin looked towards the voice and unexpectedly saw Xing Lun, "Why are you here? You are so seriously injured, shouldn't you be resting well?"
"I knew the boss was here, so I came here specially."
Xing Lun did not hide this.
Seeing Song Jin's confusion, Xing Lun said helplessly: "The medicine boys live in my house. They said you asked them to go back and rest."
I see.
She didn't think of this for a moment.
Xing Lun looked at Song Jin's masculine outfit and asked, "What are you wearing?"
"Oh, yes. Can you recognize all of my clothes?" Song Jin recalled what he had done wrong that Xing Lun could recognize him at a glance.
"Maybe... Dong's height hasn't changed?"
This is barely a reason.
Song Jin no longer dwelled on this matter.
Let Xing Lun go in and sit in the lobby, preferably away from the wind.
Then Xing Lun saw Song Jin go into his mother's pharmacy, wash the stuff off his face, and come out without changing his clothes.
"What is the boss doing here?"
Xing Lun's question went beyond the limit.
Song Jin hesitated whether to tell Xing Lun.
In the previous life, Xing Lun followed me all my life, was loyal to me, and even nearly lost his life many times...
While Song Jin hesitated and remained silent, Xing Lun felt as if his heart was burning.
He guessed that what Song Jin was going to do must be very dangerous and might be related to the Zeng family.
Mr. Zeng is a man of great malice.
If the Dong family accidentally fell into his hands, Xing Lun couldn't imagine it! "I shouldn't have asked, I shouldn't have inquired about the Dong family's whereabouts. I just hope that the Dong family will not put himself in danger before making a decision."
Xing Lun's head lowered lower and lower, and the air pressure around him became very low.
