Chapter 228 Qin Chi is in trouble
Two years ago, Qin Mingsong went to Beijing to study.
Bai Cuiwei originally wanted to go to the capital with him to avoid everything in Huizhou. Her plan was good, but Song Xiu's ghost lingered and followed them all the time. In the end, Qin Mingsong did not take anyone with him and went to the capital alone.
Song Jin gently reminded Xiao Liu, "The fourth room is not short of money, don't really believe what grandma said."
"I know, I have a long mind."
Little Liu raised her eyebrows.
The second wife still lives in the old house.
At first it was to avoid Bai Cuiwei, but later when Bai Cuiwei was gone, Xiao Liu didn't want to move back.
Life is much more comfortable now that I'm away from Old Liu.
The next two days.
Song Jin went to the pharmacy in the county town.
In addition to meeting Yinlong, I also unexpectedly met Jinling.
Jin Ling almost cried with joy and hugged Song Jin tightly, "Young lady, have you forgotten about me? It's been such a long time and I haven't seen you or heard from you."
"Didn't Zhou Wei mention me to you?"
Song Jin made a guilty excuse.
Jin Ling rolled her eyes at her and said, "A son is a son, and you are you. From the look on your face, I think you probably don't care about Aunt Ling."
"No, no, I've been thinking about it all the time."
Song Jin smiled and put his arm around Jin Ling's shoulders, "I have a copy of what Ah Wei sent back."
Every year when preparing gifts for Qin Chi, people usually also prepare some for the elders in Huizhou, including those for Jin Ling and Yin Long.
Jin Ling wasn't really complaining, she was just nagging.
After Song Jin asked a few questions with concern, he began to talk about Jifang's business in Huizhou.
After integrating the Song family's power, only a dozen clansmen were willing to support Song Jin. Song Jin had no objection to this, and opened branches of Jifang in various prefectures. He still focused on collecting medicinal materials and developing medicinal farmers, and planted local medicinal materials.
With the support of the local branch of the Song family.
Therefore, the branch business was carried out smoothly.
The business is still growing, and the amount of medicinal materials harvested each year is also large in quantity and variety.
With the Song's Pharmacopoeia as a foundation, the quality of the medicinal materials is always better than 90% of the medicinal materials on the market. With this, Song Jin became very successful in a short period of time and became one of the best medicinal materials merchants in the Great Xia Dynasty.
Drug dealers from other places often come to our door.
With the memory of his previous life, Song Jin took the opportunity to select some people with good character to cooperate with. It was called cooperation, but it was a win-win situation, just like the exchange of medicinal materials, and the medicinal materials in different regions were different.
Of course, the cooperation with Shunan Trading Company remains.
Ninety percent of the medicinal materials produced by Huizhou Jifang Pharmacy were sold to Shunan Trading Company.
Jin Ling is a very worry-free shopkeeper and has gained some weight.
"Boss!"
The three were talking.
Xiao Liuzi's anxious voice suddenly came from outside.
Song Jin asked, "Why are you so anxious? What happened?"
Xiao Liuzi rushed in and was about to say something when he saw Jin Ling and Yin Long here. He looked at Song Jin hesitantly.
Song Jin said: "Aunt Ling and Aunt Long are not outsiders."
"We received news that Mr. Qin encountered bandits in Yangzhou and his whereabouts are currently unknown." Xiao Liuzi said in one breath.
Hearing this, Song Jin stood up suddenly.
Outsiders would think they were bandits when they heard this.
Song Jin knew most of Qin Chi's background, so he naturally wouldn't just think that he was a bandit. He immediately asked a few more questions, but unfortunately, this was the only information Xiao Liuzi received, and he didn't know anything else.
Let Xiao Liuzi and others continue to inquire.
Song Jin was planning to go to Yangzhou.
He left the pharmacy immediately.
Before getting on the carriage, she glanced at Qin Qi and Qin Ba, "Have you received the news?"
The two were confused for a moment.
"What news?" Qin Ba asked.
Song Jin said, "I just received news that your master disappeared after being attacked by bandits in Yangzhou."
While saying this, Song Jin paid attention to the reactions of the two.
I found that they were equally shocked and probably had not received the news before.
Song Jin, who was originally going back to Qinjiagou, turned around to look for Manager Tao.
Ever since Qin Chi went to study at the Imperial College, Manager Tao has shifted his focus to the capital.
Wait until Qin Chi finishes the provincial examination.
Shopkeeper Tao will then follow him out of Huizhou Prefecture.
It is not easy to find Manager Tao now. It was only after Qin Ba secretly asked someone that he found out that he was in the bookstore in the county town.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Shunan Bookstore is a stronghold behind the scenes.
When Song Jin hurried over, she saw Shopkeeper Tao. Before she could ask anything, Shopkeeper Tao led her into the backyard.
"Ma'am, please come in."
Shopkeeper Tao respectfully invited her into a side room.
Song Jin wanted to say something, but he smelled the smell of medicine coming from inside. His heart was shocked and he immediately ignored everything and pushed open the half-open door and went in.
Suddenly I saw a person sitting quietly on a chair in the room.
He was wearing a moon-white inner garment and a long gown on the outside. He had black hair tied with a simple hairpin and looked as if he had just woken up.
When he raised his eyes, calm as water, and looked at her gently yet firmly.
Song Jin was speechless for a moment.
"I never thought that seeing my wife again would be like this, cough cough." Qin Chi felt uncomfortable in his throat and couldn't help coughing.
There was a sickly look on his handsome face, and a faint purple tint around his eye sockets.
Song Jin gathered his thoughts and tried to walk steadily to Qin Chi. He half-knelt down involuntarily, reached out and held one of his hands, and asked softly, "Is my husband sick?"
Qin Chi looked at her with a smile but did not answer.
Song Jin held his hand tightly and said, "It is my fault as a wife that I was not able to stay by your side when you were sick."
"Then how should I punish you?"
Qin Chi took her hand and said, "I'll punish you by making you stay by my side from now on. How about that?"
Song Jin held his hand tightly, but was hesitant to respond.
There was silence for a long while.
Song Jin changed the subject and said, "I heard that you encountered bandits, so I came to find Shopkeeper Tao to inquire about the situation. I didn't expect to see you in person when I came here."
She avoided his gaze as she spoke.
"I'm glad you're okay." Song Jin's eyes fell on the two people's clasped hands, not daring to look up at Qin Chi.
She would not promise that because she knew she couldn't do it and it was too unrealistic.
She couldn't say anything false.
In the past, she would not feel any burden when talking nonsense in front of Qin Chi. She herself did not know why she was so stubborn at this moment and why she cared about whether she could do it or not.
Qin Chi was both amused and angry. "It doesn't matter if it's a lie, at least tell me one, and make me happy, can't you?"
"After being married to my husband for many years, I realized that you like to hear lies." Song Jin raised her eyes and glanced at Qin Chi.
Those autumn-water-like eyes contained a faint smile.
Even a man as hard-hearted as Qin Chi softened his temper unconsciously. He pulled her up as if he was so angry that he let her sit on his lap.
Song Jin began to feel a little uneasy, as if she was afraid of hurting him. She wanted to get up but Qin Chi held her forcefully, pressed her into his arms, and even smelled the fragrance of her hair.
This sitting lasted for a long time.
Even the tea on the table had gone cold.
