I Made a Fortune by Marrying a Sick Girl! - Chapter 282
Chapter 282 Reputation
The door to the Qin family was not closed.
Therefore, the people watching the excitement outside did not disperse.
Someone boldly came over and asked, “Old man, is there any happy event in the master’s family, and what are the eunuchs in the palace doing?”
Old Man Hong glanced at the man.
His cold attitude could not stop outsiders from gossiping.
Lao Li came out with a smile on his head.
After exchanging pleasantries with the person who came to inquire, the news soon spread that Qin Chi was concurrently serving as a doctor in the Ministry of Industry.
It was Song Jin who asked Lao Litou to come out and promote it.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be a problem for people to gather in front of the Qin family’s gate all the time.
“Madam, if Uncle Li comes out like this, I will be hated again.”
Qin Chi stood next to Song Jin and joked.
Song Jin glanced at him sideways and said, “People outside are only envious. Those who really want to envy you are also their masters. Because most of the people who come to watch are servants from various families in Cuihua Hutong.”
The master of each family maintains his own identity.
I won’t crowd around with the servants to avoid losing my status.
People who sell themselves into slavery will only be envious when they see Qin Chi. For them, Qin Chi stood too high and was not on the same level as them at all. They shouldn’t even hate him.
On the contrary, their master, Qin Chi, stood in a higher position than them at a young age, so it was strange that they had smooth minds.
However, the due etiquette will still exist.
Just as Song Jin expected.
Not long after, various families in Cuihua Hutong sent gifts one after another, saying they congratulated Qin Chi on his promotion.
Song Jin returned the gifts one by one.
In the evening.
Lu Yanji and Lu Baizhou came over.
Qin Chi stayed with the two of them in the study for half an hour, and then had dinner together. Qin Ba then drove the two of them back.
It’s not just that.
There are more and more posts from the Qin family every day.
In addition to the posts sent from banquets held by various families in the capital, there are also greeting posts from some scholars. Among them were classmates from the Imperial College, students from major academies, and scholars from Huizhou.
When someone sends a post, they will also include their own articles, poems, etc., euphemistically saying that they are asking for advice.
Some people even recommended themselves to serve as Qin Chi’s staff.
Among the pile of posts, there may be some who really want to make friends with Qin Chi, but there will also be no shortage of people who use this as a test. In short, there must be people arranged by various forces to approach Qin Chi.
Rest at home for three days.
Qin Chi met some people, but they were all students who submitted articles for comments. Most of the appointments he made with them were based on literary exchanges. This move made Qin Chi’s reputation among scholars even higher.
Three days of leisure have passed.
Qin Chi reported to the Ministry of Works on time and brought his attendant with him.
One is Lao Huo and the other is Qin Ba.
The appearance of the old Huo Tower can shock a lot of young people.
Not to mention Qin Ba, he could strike up a few words with anyone and ask him to follow Qin Chi, which would save Qin Chi a lot of worry. In addition, for the sake of safety, people went to and from the Yamen by horse-drawn carriage instead.
Old Li Tou was the groom.
The three of them had already been out in the open, so it wouldn’t be conspicuous if they followed.
During his tenure, Qin Chi took over Yu Hengsi’s work smoothly, and the success was beyond everyone’s expectations. I don’t know how many people were paying attention to the Ministry of Industry before, waiting for the Yuan family to make things difficult for Qin Chi and then give Qin Chi a blow.
There is nothing at all.
Even the worried Qin Ba and Lao Huo were surprised. They thought they were going to fight for several rounds.
Result, that’s it?
Calm and calm.
But it’s like the calm before the storm.
Qin Chi has been busy these days, and Song Jin has not been idle either.
He often stays alone in the processing room and cooks wine centipedes for Doctor Jing.
In her spare time, she paid attention to the news in the capital. Qin Zhuangyuan, who had just been quiet for a while, became the focus of people in the capital after dinner.
Song Jin arranged for people to guide discussions in teahouses and restaurants. Whenever he encountered rumors that were unfavorable to Qin Chi, he would stand up to question the other party and then refute the rumors, trying to make Qin Chi’s image as positive as possible.
A person who lives a new life.
I know best how important reputation is to a person.
Song Jin wrote more than ten letters at the same time and had them sent out of the capital. Among them were letters sent home to Huizhou, some to Jin Long and others, and letters to Xing Lun and others. The rest were from the Song family branches in various states, asking them to help collect cotton, leather, bones and horns, etc.
There are some things that Qin Chi may not be able to use right now.
But be prepared, right?
In addition, the medicinal materials sent to Fuzhou must be prepared as soon as possible.
Specify it and ask Song Xiaodong to deliver it.
“Madam, the wine centipede is ready.”
Qin Qi looked at the finished wine centipede with surprise, which could be used as medicine.
Song Jin was very satisfied after the inspection, “Put it up, and in a quarter of an hour, we will go out to the drug store.”
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
After Qin Qi responded, he began to follow the instructions.
Song Jin went back to the dormitory.
Together with Qin Qi, he left Qin’s house through the back door.
There is only one carriage at home, and Qin Chi is using it now, so Qin Qi ordered a new one.
The carriage passed by Liu Zhai.
Heard some movement outside.
Song Jin opened a corner of the carriage curtain and happened to see a woman getting off the carriage, it was Liu Jianfang.
Just a glance.
Song Jin discovered the changes in Liu Jianfang before and after marriage.
Before marriage, Liu Jianfang was bright and charming, with a fighting spirit and an energy to climb up. Putting aside the fact that she was an enemy, Song Jin somewhat admired such a woman.
It’s not easy for a woman in this world, and Liu Jianfang’s aura of not relying on men is rare among women nowadays.
However, at this moment, Song Jin saw defeat in Liu Jianfang.
It was as if the sunflower that had taken shape began to wither, and there was a hollow and tired look in his eyes. It seems that I have been beaten to pieces by the cruelty of reality, struggling like a trapped animal in my heart, but I can’t find any hope or way out.
Song Jin had seen many such women in his previous life.
Maybe she was one of them in her previous life.
“My boss, that’s Ambassador Liu.”
Qin Qi reminded in a low voice.
Song Jin lowered the curtain, “What happened to her in the past two or three years?”
“Ambassador Liu has some skills. He has already established a firm foothold in the herbal medicine library, and the deputy envoys there have become her confidants.”
“If you are successful in officialdom, what about at home?”
Song Jin thought that Xiao Xi would come to visit, so the affairs of the Liu family’s back house were rarely mentioned.
Qin Qi reported in a low voice: “I haven’t heard of the big thing, but the Liu family is very famous in Cuihua Hutong.”
“What’s your name?”
“The back house is very chaotic, hey.” Qin Qi told Liu Ji’s romantic history, “It has been almost two years since we got married, and Liu Jianfang is still not pregnant. I heard that the relationship between the Liu family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not good, so Liu Ji took in two concubines. I don’t have a legitimate son yet, but I already have two concubines.”
Liu Ji is a romantic and talented man.
It is said that one of the concubines came from a brothel.
Song Jin thought thoughtfully, “Did that person change after marriage?”
Qin Qi also thinks so.
Song Jin didn’t think so.
Liu Jianfang is very ambitious.
I didn’t have a deep feeling for Liu Ji back then, so why did it end like this?
Song Jin was thinking about Liu Jianfang’s affairs, and unknowingly the carriage arrived at the medicine shop on West Street.
Enter the pharmacy from the side door.
He didn’t see anyone, but he heard the excitement coming from the pharmacy lobby and the sound of a woman acting up and crying.
