Chapter 254: Meeting

Qin Chi ate the last bite of cake in his hand, then picked up the porcelain bowl beside him and said, "It's not appropriate for me to go."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm so outstanding, I'm worried that someone will be short-sighted enough to try to pick me as my son-in-law."

"Don't flatter yourself. Everyone in the capital doesn't know that your husband is married. Besides, catching someone as a son-in-law is just a good thing. We have already had private dealings with each other. No one will really force someone to be their son-in-law. That would not be a marriage, but an enemy."

"Madam knows a lot."

Qin Chi lay back down calmly.

On the day when the results were announced, Qin Chi really did not go out.

In these troubled times, Song Jin decided not to go out.

Old Li and his friends were even more active than Qin Chi. They ran to Shuntian Imperial Examination Hall early to check the list. The streets were particularly lively today.

There were huge crowds of people in front of the list.

Lu Yanji and Qin Mingsong came early and wanted to look for Qin Chi, but they didn't find him. Instead, they met Old Li. After asking, they learned that Qin Chi was unwell and stayed at home to recuperate.

Yes, whenever outsiders ask about Qin Chi.

Old Li and the others all told the public that Qin Chi was ill and was recuperating at home. It didn't matter what outsiders thought.

Rumors about Qin Chi and the Yuan family.

After half a month, not many people mentioned it.

Now that the results are out, people are talking about him again.

“It’s out!”

With a loud noise, the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall opened.

A group of officials stepped out.

After the officials left, several soldiers escorted the two runners and posted the list on the wall.

The crowd surged and headed towards the list.

Although Old Li is old, he is still very agile and quickly jumped to the top of the list.

The first one is the first one! As expected, his name is Qin Qi'an, and his native place is Yi County, Huizhou.

"Win! My son won the first place!" Old Li was very excited.

It came out of his mouth at once.

I regretted it the moment I said it out loud. It was too high-profile and attracted a lot of attention from people around me.

Old Li quickly blended into the crowd and left.

Three hundred people were admitted in this imperial examination.

Lu Yanji searched for his name from beginning to end, and finally saw his name slightly behind the middle. He almost jumped up with excitement and couldn't help crying with joy.

On the contrary it was Qin Mingsong.

I read it from beginning to end, and then looked back from the end, but still couldn't find his name. I was completely lost and was squeezed out by the crowd.

There are many students like Qin Mingsong who failed the exam.

There are many people with similar expressions to him.

Therefore he was inconspicuous.

Those scholars who shouted loudly in excitement were hated by many people.

At this time, Old Li had already forgotten about Lu Yanji and Qin Mingsong, and was determined to rush home to share the news with everyone.

As soon as he arrived at the front door, before he even stepped through the threshold, Old Li shouted loudly: "Sir! You won! You won!"

"Why are you yelling? It's not a rare thing." Old man Hong sat on the stone pier in front of the gate of the courtyard with a calm expression, as if he had seen many storms.

The corner of Old Li's mouth twitched, "You know shit! He is the champion! The champion, the champion!"

"I know it is, so what?"

"Tsk, that doesn't make sense to you. Young master got the first place in the imperial examination, so how far can a sixth place be? Over thousands of years of imperial examinations, how many people have won the sixth place? This is something that will go down in history, what a great honor it is." Old Li became more and more excited as he spoke.

The emperor just needs to have a brain.

It was a sure thing that the young master would be the first in the imperial examination. During his reign, there was a person who won the sixth place in the imperial examination, which was also his achievement.

When history books record him in the future, there will definitely be a mention of him as an emperor.

This is where Old Li lost his composure, and it was not just a matter of being a champion.

Old man Hong's face remained calm and expressionless.

It is unknown what he is thinking in his heart, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that the corners of his eyes are a little moist.

Old Li didn't notice it and was running to the study to report the news.

You can't tell he's old at all.

His feet are so fast that he is no slower than young people.

Qin Chi and Song Jin had already heard what Old Li said outside. Song Jin looked at Qin Chi, whose face was calm, and felt a little surprised.

"You made the list, aren't you happy?" Song Jin couldn't help but ask.

Qin Chi chuckled, "I'm happy."

“I didn’t see that.”

"My dear, I am really happy, but it's not very obvious." Qin Chi was very happy in his heart, but he had to remind himself that people should be calm when they are proud.

Song Jin took out a bamboo embroidered sachet from his sleeve pocket.

When handing it to Qin Chi, Song Jin said, "This is a gift."

"I've waited for so many days, and finally it's my turn." Qin Chi took the sachet and smelled it again, then joked with a faint smile, "If you don't give it to me, the scent of the tranquilizing herbs inside will fade."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Song Jin's smile faltered.

Everything returned to normal soon.

The sachet had been embroidered long ago and was originally intended for him.

Later I thought about it and kept it until today, as it has a different meaning.

Seeing Qin Chi taking off the old sachet from her waist, putting it away carefully, and then putting the new one on her waist, Song Jin swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

She doesn't put much thought into the things she embroiders.

I cherish it so much that I suddenly feel a little guilty.

At this time, Old Li came in and said excitedly: "Sir, you have passed the exam and you are the first place!"

"Got it. Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Li."

Qin Chi replied with a smile, "The government office will report the news later, and I will have to trouble Uncle Li to prepare it again."

"Ha, I'll go prepare the firecrackers."

Old Li left happily.

Song Jin looked at his back and said, "Uncle Li, this is a normal reaction."

"What about my wife? Your husband passed the imperial examination, why don't you seem excited?"

Qin Chi hurried to Song Jin, bent slightly and moved towards her.

Their faces were very close.

Song Jin subconsciously held his breath.

Otherwise, at such a close distance, your breath would hit the other person's face.

"Isn't it natural for my husband to win first place?" Song Jin looked back at Qin Chi very seriously, "Actually, I'm happy for you in my heart, but it's not very obvious."

"fraud!"

Qin Chi straightened his back and asked, "Learn how I talk?"

Let her go this time.

Then Qin Chi took four-square steps and walked out in high spirits.

Song Jin smiled, then got up and walked outside. He also had to prepare a few red envelopes. After a while, the messenger came to report the news, and then he went to instruct the kitchen to prepare a table of wine and food.

I learned that Qin Chi passed the exam.

Everyone in the house, whether the master or the servants, was in high spirits.

Someone is looking outside the door.

Song Jin came out of the kitchen and saw, "Auntie Kang? What are you doing?"

"Oh, I just heard old man Li shouting, your husband got lucky? Is that true?" Aunt Kang's gossipy eyes were exactly the same as little Liu's.

Song Jin smiled and nodded.

Aunt Kang's face immediately turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile, "Oh my god, this is incredible! I am now a neighbor of an incredible person."

He turned around and was eager to gossip about this matter with others. After walking a few steps, he paused and turned back and said happily: "I almost forgot, Madam Qin, congratulations!"

After saying this, the man left in a hurry.

Song Jin was left standing there with a funny look on his face.
