Chapter 299 Qin Qian is so poor that he eats dirt


    Qin Chi wanted to ask Song Jin for the title of imperial edict, but he had the idea that he had on the day he became a bachelor''s degree. However, after finding someone to find out, he had to postpone the title of imperial edict.


    Not all applicants can pass the application. The fifth rank of official rank is just the threshold for application. Please submit Song Jin’s identity documents, marriage certificates and other certificates, and then the relevant personnel from the Ministry of Revenue or the Ministry of Personnel should review them.


    Qin Chi dared not bet on whether Song Jin''s identity could withstand in-depth investigation. There is another reason, that is, he has not made any achievements yet. As the saying goes, a husband is honorable and a wife is noble. It is easier for officials who have made meritorious titles to pass.


    The days to come.


    Qin Chi went to the yamen all day long.


    Since Liu Jianfang has been here, women often come to Song Jin to talk about family matters and neighborly gossip, making it difficult for Song Jin to do something privately.


    Fortunately, Song Jin let his subordinates lurk.


    There are not many things happening during this period, most of them are letters from all over the country, and letters from home in Huizhou.


    Autumn is now coming.


    The family started buying winter clothes.


    Last time, Qin Chi asked Song Jin to buy a maid back. Later, because there were more people coming to the Qin family to visit, he was afraid that outsiders would say that there were too many servants in his family, so Song Jin did not add anyone to the sake of safety.


    Therefore, Song Jin needs to do many things at home. For example, people who come to visit often see Song Jin in simple clothes do their own work.


    Everyone praised Song Jin for being thrifty in her family.


    He turned around and laughed at the Qin family for being shabby and unable to support a decent storefront. Even if Qin Qi''an passed the top scorer, he was still poor after several months of becoming an official in the court.


    This statement changes its flavor as it passes.


    It is said that Qin Zhuangyuan''s family is very poor, so poor that he can only eat braised vegetables for three meals.


    Later, even the dirt-eating people came out.


    One day, it reached Qin Chi''s ears.


    He was a doctor from the other three departments of the Ministry of Works. He came to Qin Chi in teams and said one by one, saying, originally wanting to see Qin Chi''s joke.


    Unexpectedly, Qin Chi was very calm, "I was born into a farmer family and I had a dream to live my life today, so I was not as rich as a few adults."


    There was a silence around in an instant.


    Qin Chi is now pretty good if he doesn''t make any money and only relies on his salary to support his family.


    But there is a trend of comparison among colleagues. In order to save face, I am used to putting good things out as my face. If someone''s family is shabby on the surface, they subconsciously feel that they are poorer behind their backs and have to laugh at them a few words.


    Qin Chi''s calm appearance instead made them look like clowns, mainly because they had a ghost in their hearts.


    The three doctors left in shame.


    This matter not only came to the ears of officials, but also Emperor Mingcheng in the palace also heard about it, "Do you really want to eat braised vegetables?"


    "Not only, rumors say they want to eat dirt."


    A little **** answered on the side.


    Emperor Ming Cheng was happy when he heard this, "My new top scholar starved to death, how can I do my business for me? Xiao Jixiang went to the private treasury to get 100 taels of gold and sent it to Qin Qi''an''s house."


    "I''ll do it now." Jixiang responded quickly.


    So that day.


    The Qin family suddenly received a reward from the palace.


    At first hearing the reward from the palace, Song Jin was very surprised. He thought that Qin Chi had made a contribution today. After learning about it, he realized that it was the money brought about by rumors outside.


    He kindly sent the **** away.


    Song Jin looked at the ten gold ingots on the table, and felt mixed emotions for a while.


    "A Qi, have I pretended too much recently, and made those who come to visit my family think that my family is too poor to afford to eat?" Song Jin knew the rumors outside.


    Because I don’t think it’s a bad thing. Then he ignored people and allowed the rumors to spread.


    "Madam, should you notify the young master of this?" Qin Qi felt that this matter was so strange.


    Song Jin waved his hand, "Go and talk to him."


    Qin Qi nodded and bowed and said he was leaving.


    But Qin Qi just walked out of the door and saw someone coming from the palace again. She turned around and went back to report to Song Jin.


    When Song Jin went out, he knew that it was the queen who sent someone to send the reward. Of course, this reward point was given to Song Jin, which was a set of exquisitely crafted headdresses, plus two hundred taels of silver.


    Next were the imperial concubines and various concubines.


    There were more than a dozen people in the harem.


    Qin Chi hurried home after receiving the news and saw a bunch of rewards placed in the hall, including gold, silver, porcelain, cloth and exquisite jewelry, which were quite impressive.


    Song Jinxian sat in the top position, drinking tea in his hand in a small sip, while Qin Qi was counting the records.


    "Madam, is our family rich from heaven?" Qin Chi calmly came to the chair beside Song Jin.


    Song Jin started pouring him a cup of tea, "I''m wondering if this matter is good or bad."


    "How do you want to solve it?"


    Qin Chi put down the tea bowl in his hand, "If this matter is not handled well, it may leave hidden dangers in the future."


    Now I’m talking about living a poor life.


    Others believe it, but don’t they know whether it is poor or not?


    There are some advantages that cannot be taken.


    Otherwise, how should you deal with your own if you are exposed in the future? Will the rewarders feel fooled today?


    Maybe you will commit a crime of deceiving the monarch.


    Don’t think that these worries are too much. The fact that the deer is a horse has happened in the world. At that time, attacking Qin Chi’s political enemies will not say that the rumors outside have nothing to do with him, but will only question why he did not stand up and defy the rumors at that time?


    Unintentional also becomes having a heart.


    Song Jin pondered for a moment and said, "Taihu Lake suffered floods this year, and a large number of people were displaced. These things were donated in the name of Your Majesty and the palace masters. But in order to show the emperor''s grace, I will keep one of each rewards, which will be converted into silver."


    “This move is very good.”


    Qin Chi immediately asked Song Jin to do as he did.


    I immediately thought that I had received the reward and needed to go to the palace to thank me. This trip, Song Jin must go, and it is another matter whether the masters meet or not.


    Song Jin thought for a while and said, "I will go to the palace to thank you tomorrow. I will donate my things and buy a gift. When I see the queen, I will make it clear that life is good at home and there are rumors outside."


    "It''s still my wife who is thoughtful."


    Qin Chi felt very comfortable.


    A good wife in a family is like a good minister in a country.


    He was once again glad that he married Song Jin, not the madman Song Xiu.


    Since it has been decided, the couple will do the same.


    The next day, Qin Chi went to Hanlin Academy to dig Mao and muttered privately to Yan Xianqing.


    "You ask to see Your Majesty?" Yan Xianqing was surprised.


    Qin Chi said helplessly: "One is that he has received the reward and he has to thank him. Second, he will clarify with His Majesty that although I am not a rich and frugal person, I am also free to eat and wear food and clothing. The rumors outside are untrue."


    "Haha, it''s a mistake."


    Yan Xianqing took this as fun, "Don''t worry, Your Majesty knew it, 80% of you are here to be fun like me."


    Qin Chi had a handsome face and was dissatisfied.


    This caused Yan Xianqing to burst into laughter again.
