Chapter 263 Homecoming
After the parade, people will return to the guild hall first.
Then they left.
However, noon had passed and Qin Chi still hadn't returned.
Song Jin looked towards the door from time to time.
Old Man Hong sat on the stone pier and said, "The top three will not come back so soon. They still have to go to the palace to pay respects to the emperor and visit other court officials. Madam, don't worry."
"So that's how it is." Song Jin's cheeks felt slightly hot.
To put it bluntly, it's a necessary social engagement and the person won't be back for a while.
The Qin family remained closed.
Keep people who want to give gifts out.
Until night falls.
Song Jin was checking the secret letter in the study.
Whenever she saw him, she would first light the candle on the table and then throw it into the brazier beside her. Suddenly, the two doors of the study were creaking open.
Song Jin looked up when he heard the voice.
Suddenly, he saw Qin Chi, wearing the top scholar's robe and robes, and stepped over the threshold in court boots at the dim door.
This sight caught Song Jin off guard and he was stunned.
She was used to seeing Qin Chi in plain clothes and the image of a simple student, but suddenly seeing him dressed so formally, he seemed like a different person, especially when he walked towards her, he subconsciously took an official step, giving people the feeling of maturity, stability, elegance and gentleness.
It cannot be denied that he is very attractive.
It is indescribably beautiful, just like the clouds in the sky, gorgeous and natural, sparkling and dazzling.
"My wife, your husband is back."
Qin Chi came and stood in front of Song Jin.
Song Jin stood up hurriedly, "Husband?"
"How about it? Doesn't this outfit look good on me?" Qin Chi turned around on the spot with a smile.
Song Jin wanted to say that it was indeed beautiful.
The court dress was a dark blue robe with a green silk edge, a round collar and wide sleeves, a white silk inner garment, a brocade ribbon covering the knees, and a silver belt and a jade pendant. On his head he wore a crown with a slightly flat top, and a top scholar hairpin with silver branches and leaves, decorated with emerald feathers.
The horse gallops in the spring breeze, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.
"Congratulations, sir, for the top three prizes and six first prizes."
Song Jin congratulated him gently.
Qin Chi strode towards her, stretched out his hands and held her in his arms, "My wife, I am very happy today."
"Drinking?"
When Song Jin approached him, he smelled alcohol. "I asked the kitchen to make you some hangover soup. Will I bring it to you right away?"
"No hurry, let me hold you for a while."
While they were whispering to each other, Qin Chi whispered again, "When I was happiest, the person I thought of in my mind was my wife. I wish I could fly home right away to share it with you."
"Um."
Song Jin knew that he was indeed drunk.
See, now you're starting to talk nonsense.
He muttered a lot of things in her ear, some of which were unclear, but Song Jin didn't pay attention.
Only half a quarter of an hour later, he leaned against her and seemed to fall asleep.
It is true that Song Jin had a lot of things to say, but now was not the right time to say them.
He could only help the half-asleep man back to the dormitory, took off his top scholar robes and left him in his undershirt, covered him with the quilt and went out. Then he came back with a basin of warm water and helped Qin Chi wipe his cheeks and hands and feet.
Finally, he brought some sobering soup, half-helped the man stand up and fed him to drink it.
Some people are difficult to serve when they are drunk, so it's good that Qin Chi doesn't make things difficult for them.
"lady?"
There was a knock on the door.
Qin Qi's voice rang out from outside: "I've brought Doctor Jing here."
"Come in." Song Jin stood up from the bed.
The door creaked open.
Qin Qi came in with Doctor Jing.
Doctor Jing first bowed to Song Jin, then sat down in front of the bed to check Qin Chi's pulse.
After a while, Doctor Jing said, "The young master is just drunk, nothing serious, just let him get some sleep."
"Thank you for your help, Doctor Jing."
Song Jin thanked him out loud.
Doctor Jing smiled and said, "Madam, you are too polite. I haven't congratulated you and the young master yet."
"We'll have a family dinner tomorrow, Doctor Jing, remember to come." Song Jin invited with a smile.
Doctor Jing agreed immediately.
Song Jin sent Doctor Jing out and saw Old Man Hong and Old Man Li outside. If nothing unexpected happened, they wanted to see Qin Chi, most likely to tell him what happened today.
That was a real bummer.
"He just fell asleep." Song Jin stood at the dormitory door.
Old Man Hong and Old Man Li looked at each other.
Without waiting for the two to speak, Song Jin said in a gentle voice, "He is very happy to be on the list today. Don't let him down. If the matter is not urgent, can you wait until he wakes up tomorrow to report it?"
Don’t think that just because they call themselves servants, they are really servants in this family. In fact, they are just two big Buddhas.
Even Song Jin respects him in his heart.
Old Man Hong said, "Then let the young master have a good rest."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"Yes, yes, we'll talk tomorrow." Old Li had also been running around outside all day.
Song Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After the two left, Song Jin returned to the dormitory and closed the door.
This night some were happy and some were sad.
Let’s not talk about those who are happy for now. Among those who are worried, Yuan Shangshu and his followers are among them. They are being targeted by the Jinyiwei, and if they don’t die, they will be seriously injured.
In addition, there was the person behind the scenes of the gang of bandits. He had been waiting for a long time for the news of Song Jin's accident. When Qin Chi returned home, he did not see any movement and immediately became furious.
In the mansion of a wealthy businessman in the capital.
A man wearing half a demon mask was whipping his two men who were kneeling on the ground with a whip.
"You're useless! You can't even do the smallest thing."
For this man, dealing with Song Jin is really a piece of cake.
He had no grudge against Qin Chi, he just wanted to destroy him.
Who made Qin Chi get the top six places?
If the wife of a newly-appointed top scholar had gotten into trouble on the same day, it would have caused a sensation if the news spread, and Qin Chi's reputation would have been half ruined. The person in the palace would have certainly looked unhappy at that time.
Then he put the blame on the Yuan family to make the waters in the capital even more muddy.
"My lord, even if the truth is revealed, it will have little impact on our plan." A scholar nearby spoke.
These two subordinates just suffered an unprovoked disaster.
The one who makes the plan is the lord.
The reason for the failure is that they have not received the message yet.
Among the group of people that were mobilized, only the leader was someone they secretly trained, and the others were thugs secretly trained by the Yuan family. Originally, he did not agree to activate that hidden piece.
It was the lord who insisted on doing this.
The masked man threw away the whip in his hand and said, "Mr. Yan pleads for you, so I'll spare you this time. Go away."
"Thank you, my lord, and thank you, Mr. Yan."
The two of them crawled out tumbling.
The masked man had a very strong aura and his eyes were full of hostility. From the frown at the corners of his eyes and the gray hair on his head, it could be seen that he was not young.
However, his beating was efficient.
It is obvious that he is a martial artist.
The scholar known as Mr. Yan looks like a middle-aged man, but he is actually well maintained and is already in his forties.
"Where did Qin Qi'an come from?"
The masked man's first question is the key.
Mr. Yan said, "He is from Yi County, Huizhou Prefecture, and is indeed a farmer's son. So far, I have never heard of his master, but after the parade, he visited Li Huarong and is suspected to be Li Huarong's disciple."
"You think so too?" The masked man sneered.
Mr. Yan stroked his beard and said in a pretentious manner, "I have read several of his articles. He is not in the same style as Li Huarong. Rather... how should I put it? He is not like any of them. Instead, he seems to have combined the strengths of many schools."
That's a bit outrageous.
The article is rigorous and mature, and it doesn't seem like something a poor student could write.
The masked man said confidently: "There is someone behind him."
Mr. Yan nodded, "Do you still want to touch him?"
"Don't move, wait and see."
Qin Chi has just entered the court and poses no threat to them in the short term.
One chapter today, happy National Day.
