Chapter 212 Meeting at the City Gate

Wait until you get home.

Little Liu held Qin Daya tightly and refused to let go. Even such a fierce person was frightened and turned pale.

Song Jin asked the kitchen to prepare some calming soup.

Then it was sent to the second room, and one bowl was kept for the twins to share.

Li was guarding the twins, "I didn't expect that something like this would happen after going out. Fortunately, you were here. If it had been like usual, it would have been hard to say."

Qin Daya often goes to the restaurant to help out.

Her home is not far from restaurants, so she often goes out alone.

If the mother and son had not chosen today to take action, the possibility of success would still be very high.

Song Jin asked, "Has the second room ordered anything for Daya?"

"We have agreed on a family before, but we haven't decided yet. It's the kid from the rice shop on the street. He's a loyal and honest man, and he's a good match for Daya."

Li had a hidden worry in her heart. After what happened today, it was hard to say whether the marriage would be successful.

Qin Mingsong passed the imperial examination earlier, and many families came to her house to propose marriage, including some wealthy families who wanted to make her a mistress if she married.

But Xiao Liu refused.

Song Jin was very surprised, "Second Aunt didn't respond?"

"She said it was not a good match."

Although Mrs. Li seemed to be at odds with Mrs. Liu, she actually had no ill feelings towards her.

According to Xiao Liu, it was her younger uncle who passed the imperial examination, not the second wife. The other party was after her younger uncle, and if Dayu really married him, it would be good if she could benefit from it, but it would be hard to say if she couldn't. She didn't want the daughter she raised to be humiliated by others.

Later, we moved to Hongcun.

Not long after Qin Chi and Song Jin went to Beijing, that family came to propose marriage. After being rejected, they came to pester them twice and almost had a falling out before they gave up.

I thought it was okay.

Unexpectedly, after three or four months, the family still hadn’t given up.

No, something almost happened today.

Early the next morning.

Before Song Jin left the dormitory, he heard a noise and someone came to the Qin family to apologize.

The mother and son were thrown into jail.

According to County Magistrate Meng, raping a woman in the street is a serious crime, not to mention that the family has a criminal record, so the lightest punishment would be exile.

It will take several days for this matter to be settled.

With Boss Qin and several other big men coming forward, and Manager Tao and Meng Qingrui making secret arrangements, Song Jin did not get involved.

That night, someone knocked on the door.

Just as Song Jin was about to fall asleep, she heard Qin Qi's voice outside the door: "Madam, Lao Huo and Qin Ba are back!"

Hearing this, Song Jin quickly stood up.

He opened the door wearing a coat.

Qin Qi came in to report that the two had returned and were with Manager Tao.

Song Jin turned around and got dressed.

It looked like he was about to go out and take a trip.

Wait for the two of them to hurry to the trading company.

Even though Lao Huo and Qin Ba had washed themselves and changed into clean clothes, they still looked extremely thin, not to mention that they were still tied up with bandages.

Song Jin's throat felt blocked.

I feel a little uncomfortable, but I can't say anything.

The two men were in good spirits, probably because they had just survived a disaster and were not so tense anymore.

There is no need to say much about the situation of these two people. We also know that their escape process was very difficult.

At this time, the two of them were concentrating on eating.

"Don't act like a starving ghost. Just eat a little, otherwise you will upset your stomach." Shopkeeper Tao warned the two to eat in moderation.

People who have been hungry for a long time should not overeat.

Fortunately, they both knew their limits.

Seeing Song Jin coming in, they quickly stood up and saluted, "Meet the Madam."

"No need to be polite, just continue eating."

Song Jin sat aside and motioned for them to continue eating. "Let's talk about it later. There's no rush."

"Thank you ma'am for your consideration."

Old Huo grinned, picked up a bowl of porridge and drank it in a few gulps like drinking water, "My life was saved by my madam."

Putting down his bowl and chopsticks, Old Huo gave Song Jin a thumbs up and said, "Madam is wise and brave, and can foresee things like a god."

Qin Ba nodded in agreement.

I totally agree with what Lao Huo said.

Song Jin felt embarrassed by the two of them, "You're exaggerating. I didn't do anything. On the contrary, you were protecting me."

"That's wrong."

At that time, Lao Huo really thought he was going to die.

It was Qin Ba who suddenly appeared and saved him.

When he heard that Qin Ba showed up and it was Song Jin who asked him to come, Old Huo was extremely grateful to Song Jin.

Old Huo added: "We found some information in Jianning, which is why it took us some time to come back."

Qin Ba nodded while eating.

Wait for both of them to finish eating.

Song Jin finally found out from Old Huo.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

On the surface, the group of boat people seemed to be fishing for a living, but in fact, they were secretly training sailors. As they guessed that the Liu family was behind this, the two knew that Song Jin had left Jianning, but they were not afraid of death and went deep into the tiger's den.

While they were searching for the two outside.

The two of them actually sneaked into the Liu family.

After hiding in the Liu family for several days, they found out some things and found out that the Liu family was indeed related to the pursuit of them. This also confirmed that the mastermind behind the private training of sailors was indeed the Liu family.

When the government's pursuit was not so strict, they fearlessly went to the hill where the Liu family built the temple to investigate, and they indeed found out the secret.

A residence on the hill behind the temple.

All the people coming in and out are young and middle-aged, which is very suspicious.

Some people had a murderous aura, and Old Huo could tell at a glance that they were people who had seen blood.

It reminded him of the people who ambushed him in Tunxi. It was very likely that they were the ones.

Song Jin felt very upset.

I stayed in Huizhou for another two days.

Song Jin and others set off for the capital.

As Song Jin insisted, she changed into men's clothes on the way.

Riding on horseback, traveling day and night.

It took more than ten days, and only when they were near Shuntian Prefecture did Song Jin change his carriage and enter the capital in a low-key manner.

A carriage was waiting in front of the city gate.

"Whoa!"

Qin Qi's voice came from outside the carriage, "Madam, the young master came to the city gate to pick you up."

"ah?"

Song Jin was surprised.

Without even thinking, he reached out to lift the car curtain.

Just then, she saw Qin Chi getting off the car and walking towards her with brisk steps.

He was wearing a blue gown with neat and simple collar, a plain silk sash around his waist, and a slightly open collar, revealing the white silk he wore underneath. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the silk was embroidered with bamboo patterns, revealing a casual elegance.

Occasionally, the wind blows.

When you stroke his hair and clothes, he looks like a person in a painting.

One can't help but sigh.

This is in line with a line from Du Fu's poem:

Zongzhi is a handsome and elegant young man. He raises his cup and looks up at the sky with his eyes wide open, as bright as a jade tree standing in the wind.

Song Jin was dazed for a moment.

By the time she came to her senses, Qin Chi had already approached and entered the car.

"My wife?"

Qin Chi bent down and called out with a smile on his face.

Song Jin hurriedly tried to stand up to respond, and for a moment forgot that she was in a carriage and almost hit her head. She was saved because Qin Chi reached out his hand in time and blocked her head.

Therefore.

She hit his palm.

His big hand took the hit and the back of his hand turned red.

"I, I didn't mean it. Does it hurt?" Song Jin subconsciously grabbed his hand.

Qin Chi clenched his hand with his backhand.

The big hand with distinct joints instantly wrapped around her small hand.
