Chapter 13 Travel
Qin Chi reported to his parents when he went out.
He did not say that he wanted to accompany Song Jin to the county town, but instead used the excuse that he wanted to go to the academy and took Song Jin out to buy some daily necessities.
Boss Qin had already set up a carriage.
People were waiting outside the door.
When Song Jin was about to get on the carriage, Qin Chi reached out to stop him.
"What''s the matter?" Song Jin was worried that he would change his mind.
Qin Chi took out a mili: "This is my mother, you can use it for the time being."
Song Jinfeng''s eyes flashed slightly: "What did you guess?"
"No, I only know that beauty can add fragrance to her red sleeves, or it can be a disaster for her beauty."
Qin Chi is so calm.
Song Jin has outstanding appearance and extraordinary charm.
It’s okay to stay in the village, but it’s hard to say that it’s put in the county town. There is no shortage of bad people who are sexually **** and do evil in any place. A person who has no ability may not be able to protect her.
When Song Jin got on the carriage, he saw a girl of fifteen or sixteen swaying in front of the Qin family''s gate.
This man Song Jin recognized him.
Chen Dong''er, the eldest daughter of the village chief, has long been in love with Qin Mingsong. In his previous life, Song Jin married Qin Mingsong, and this man made trouble for Song Jin from time to time. Later, I felt that I could not be a wife, so I wanted to be a concubine for Qin Mingsong, and I could do everything I could to do.
It’s Qin Mingsong’s rotten peach blossom.
Let Song Xiu go to trouble in this life, it will be very lively.
Song Xiu knew Chen Dong''er.
Qin Mingsong did not like Chen Dong''er, but he did not dare to offend the village chief too much.
The village chief’s family is one of the few outsiders in Qinjiagou. The yamen deliberately asked the foreigner to be the village chief to avoid the clan being powerful and injuring the laws of Daxia.
Song Jin sat in the carriage, and soon Qin Chi lifted the curtain and came in.
The carriage just left the village entrance.
“Brother!”
"Brother, wait!"
Qin Laoer''s words came from behind the carriage, "Xiao Si said he wanted to go back to the academy and asked his elder brother to see him off."
"I don''t have time, I want to send Dalang."
Boss Qin refused without thinking.
How can my younger brother compete with his son? If Old Man Qin asked, he would be fine.
Qin Laoer said, "Aren''t you afraid that your mother will scold you?"
"Just scold me. I won''t scold me one day, and I haven''t seen anyone have any less flesh on me." Boss Qin is honest but not stupid.
When Song Jin heard this in the carriage, he subconsciously looked at Qin Chi.
Qin Chi smiled and said nothing.
The carriage continued to move forward, and on the way, I also encountered some villagers, who were carrying mules or riding in ox carts.
Everyone knows him and will say hello when he sees Boss Qin.
"Mingzhong, I heard that Dalang is married?" The old man who was wearing a ox cart shouted loudly.
"Yes." Boss Qin responded with a big laugh.
"I know this, I say that the eldest son''s wife looks so beautiful..."
There are constant discussions outside.
Gossip is the nature of human beings, no matter what dynasty, poverty or wealth.
As we chatted, we reached the fun of the old Qin family this morning. There was not much malice, and everyone just wanted to have fun.
Later, the voice became smaller.
The carriage should be far away.
Song Jinxin sighed slightly.
Song Xiu was reborn, and at first Song Jin thought she would learn to be good. Arrogant in front of her and pretend to be gentle and charming in front of outsiders.
If you can keep pretending, your life might be good.
In fact, fake ones are fake, and the original form can easily be exposed if you poke it.
Qin Chi explained: "There is a market in the countryside this morning, and the villagers go to the market, so there are more pedestrians."
"So that''s it." Song Jin guessed it in his heart and expressed his surprise appropriately.
Poverty mountainous areas, there is no way to survive in farming.
Most of the people here have one or two craftsmanship. For example, the mountain people in Qinjiagou often sell their own things to the township market to make some money to subsidize their family income.
Life is not so good, but it can be lived.
We have to mention Hui merchants here.
Hui Shang, commonly known as "Hui Gang", is a general term for merchants from Huizhou Prefecture. It is very famous in history and is one of the three major business schools in China.
"Huizhou Prefecture Chronicles" records: "Huizhou Baojie Valley, the mountains are located on the original foot of the mountain, the fields are barren, and the yield is thin. Most of them are in one year and cannot support tithes. People who are mostly skilled or sell and eat other counties will often be nineteen."
The Hui people bought a lot of businessmen, and it is a sign of that.
In short, many people living in this area cannot survive if they do not become businessmen or learn a craft.
During the Tang and Song dynasties, in addition to the transportation and sales of local products such as bamboo, wood, porcelain clay and raw lacquer in Huizhou, the emergence of tea, She inkstone, Hui ink, Chengxintang paper and pen and other products further promoted the development of Hui merchants.
When Qin Chi took out his homemade four treasures of the study as a betrothal gift, Song Jin would be surprised and not feel too outrageous.
Song Jin''s father Song Kuan was also a Hui merchant.
In his previous life, Song Jin also became a member of the Hui Gang, but because of his identity, he never showed up.
Before Song Jin had done business in his previous life, he had inquired about where his family was going. The person who worked in the yamen said he would be released from prison that night.
Then Song Jin asked someone to go to the capital to inquire.
Several of the people sent were damaged, and those who came back alive said that the prison of the capital had not accepted prisoners from Huizhou Prefecture this year.
After the Song family was arrested, it seemed to disappear out of thin air. Later, for more than ten years, Song Jin was making money and spent money on finding his family, but he didn''t find any news about his family until he died!
The carriage passed by the township and the hawkers shouted.
Qin Chi got off the car and bought ten buns.
Three people shared their food.
After more than an hour, I finally arrived at the county town.
Song Jin wanted to speak a few times but stopped.
Song Jin has pity, sympathy and respect for Qin Chi, but he lacks trust.
Not only this for Qin Chi.
Song Jin is like this to outsiders. Even Song Xiu and Old Man Qin were wary of her in her previous life. It took only three or four days to say that she and Qin Chi knew each other.
"I''m going to Tachuan Academy."
Qin Chi proposed it in a timely manner.
Song Jin thought for a while and said, "I want to go to East Street to buy something."
The two were so smart that they didn''t ask in detail.
We agreed to meet at the East Street intersection one hour.
Song Jin put on a lid and got off the carriage.
Looking at Song Jin''s back as he was gone, Boss Qin asked, "Dalang, let her go alone, is it okay?"
"No obstacle, the security of the county town is acceptable."
Qin Chi saw that Song Jin was an independent person and had a secret hidden in her, "Dad, before going to the academy, I will go to the front bookstore to buy some paper."
"OK."
Boss Qin parked the carriage to the side of the road.
Qin Chi walked to the book shop.
Stepping into the book shop, Qin Chi walked straight towards the backyard.
The shopkeeper did not stop him when he saw that it was Qin Chi.
Inside a wing room in the backyard.
The middle-aged shopkeeper who was writing hard at the desk, immediately stood up respectfully when he saw Qin Chi coming in, and said, "Young Master, are you here? I''m so young and I''m going to make tea for you."
The shopkeeper was about to shout out.
"No need, I''ll stay for a long time."
Qin Chi waved his hand and signaled not to have tea. He asked straight in, "How is the matter you asked you to investigate?"
"It was found out that the person in the painting is the eldest daughter of the Song family, a pharmacy in She County. She has been famous since she was a child. It''s a pity that the gods are jealous of their beauty. Five days ago, the Song family was confiscated and was sentenced to be punished. Miss Song and her concubine were buried in the fire together."
The middle-aged shopkeeper took out a small painting from the dark side of the shelf, which was a small statue of Song Jin and the results of investigations from She County.
